Chapter 36

“……”

“……”

Somehow, my younger sister calmed down, and now we’re sitting across from each other at the dining table… It’s incredibly awkward.

I don’t know what to say.

I already told her I’m her older brother, and I barely managed to make her believe me by blabbering about her embarrassing past.

By the way, the embarrassing past… Like when she left a dildo in the bathroom in middle school and got beaten up by our parents, or when she tried to do a handstand and ended up cracking her skull… Yeah, I told her all sorts of stories like that.

“…Yura.”

“…What.”

“…I’m a magical girl.”

“That’s right!”

“……”

“But, my powers got too strong… I can’t go back now.”

“……”

I tried to squeeze out an explanation, but my sister didn’t react.

Well, I guess she doesn’t know how to react.

“…Hey, oppa.”

“What?”

“You said you’re a magical girl, right? So… what kind of magical girl are you?”

“…Magical Rampage.”

“…Huh? Rampage…? For real…?”

“Yeah.”

She seems pretty shocked, which is probably a normal reaction.

Yura knows about magical girls, and she’s even experienced some of the recent chaos caused by them.

She might not have looked into me specifically, but since I’m always ranked number one, she must know about me.

That’s probably why she made that face when I said I’m Magical Rampage.

“W-wow…”

“Don’t tell anyone. It’ll make my life difficult.”

“Got it~. But how did you keep it a secret until now?”

“Who knows? Somehow, no one found out.”

“You could’ve at least told me~!”

…She wasn’t like this earlier, so why is she back to her usual self now?

Well, whatever… What’s she gonna do now that she knows I’m a magical girl?

“Why should I have told you?”

“Because I can brag about being close to Magical Rampage!”

“Oh, is that so… Maybe I should’ve just shut you out.”

“That’s so mean!”

That’s what I should be saying, you crazy girl.

“Anyway, you’re rich, right? Give me some allowance! Just 100,000 won!”

“Is your brain rusted?”

“Tch, figures. Just kidding, but where do you even get your money from?”

“When I set up the support headquarters, they finally agreed to provide financial support, but the conditions were so strict that I got pissed and threatened them.”

“Pfft…!”

By the way, she’s really good at eating while asking all these questions.

But why is there no reaction to this feast?

I expected her to be amazed as soon as she saw the table.

“By the way, why aren’t you reacting to all this food?”

“Huh? I was too shocked about you being a magical girl to react to this. Now that I think about it, the food looks amazing! Did you make all this?”

“Who do you think made it? This slave did.”

“Good job!”

“…Is her name Slave?”

“No? I saved her from being executed for a crime that would’ve made her live like this forever, so now she’s my slave.”

“Wait… Seriously?”

“Yeah.”

…Anyway, is the sister problem solved now?

Next is the parent problem… I have no idea how to solve that.

Honestly, I don’t even want to see their faces.

“But it’s so funny that oppa turned into a girl. What are you gonna do about it?”

“What do you mean? My identity is secured, so I don’t have any problems living.”

“No, not that. Mom and dad.”

“……I don’t know.”

“Keke… Oppa, you don’t know, do you?”

“…What?”

What’s she laughing about now…

Is there something she’s hiding from me?

She hasn’t said anything to me about it.

“What do you mean? The reason your name is a girl’s name.”

“…What?”

“Well~ Mom prayed that if she had a boy, she wanted a girl instead.”

“So?”

“So if you go meet them now, they might actually be happy? Mom and dad still seem to have some lingering feelings.”

“If that were true, they wouldn’t have nagged me all the time about how great it would’ve been if I were born a girl. Do you think I don’t know their personalities?”

“Is that so? Mom told me that… And you do look kinda girly…”

“What?”

“Nothing!”

Even if that’s true, what’s the point now?

In the end, they raised me as a boy and never said a word about it.

Even if I show them how I’ve become a girl now, they’ll probably freak out about how their son turned into a daughter.

…Or they might just shut me out and kick me out.

“Well~… I’ll talk to them about it when we get back!”

“Alright… By the way, when are you gonna get a job?”

“Ugh.”

“You haven’t earned a single penny since graduating.”

“Ah, no, well~… I’m looking for a job~…”

“You could just work as a cashier at a decent cafe and make 300,000 won a month, you idiot.”

“I don’t want to do that!”

“Then what are you gonna do?”

“……Get married?”

“Who marries someone like you these days? Stop talking nonsense.”

“What’s that supposed to mean~!”

Sigh… This kid, if she put her mind to it, she could get a job right away with her major, but she’s just lazy…

“Whatever, just find a job. Don’t just pretend to look for one because you don’t want to work.”

“No!”

“…I was gonna give you some allowance if you got a job.”

“Ah.”

“Too bad. I was even gonna give you some gifts occasionally, but since Yura’s so determined to be a NEET…”

“I-I’ll find a job right away! Don’t take that back!”

“Just get a job first.”

“Okay!”

Now that I’ve offered to give her an allowance, she’ll probably get motivated.

Though I don’t know how long that’ll last with her lazy personality.

“…Huh? Oh, right!”

“What now?”

“Shouldn’t I call you unnie now instead of oppa?”

“Forget it. Just call me oppa.”

“No~ I’m gonna call you unnie~.”

“I really wanna punch you…”

Sigh… Seriously, why hasn’t she changed since high school?

She’s been an adult for years now, and she’s already graduated from college…

I’m really worried about how she’s gonna live her life.

“Ah~ If I knew the country would give me money, I would’ve become a magical girl too~…”

“What would you even do as a magical girl?”

“Huh? I did get an offer.”

“…Really?”

“Back then, I was too scared of fighting, so I refused. If I had known~…”

“No, it’s better that you didn’t. Especially back in our time, it was really dangerous. If you had become a magical girl, you would’ve died pretty quickly.”

“That’s such a harsh evaluation! And you’re still my oppa?!”

“I am your oppa, right?”

Well, of course, as your oppa, I’d tell you not to risk your life fighting, what else would I say?

Anyway, this kid still only thinks about herself.

“…By the way, unnie.”

“What? Why are you suddenly calling me unnie instead of oppa?”

“Because you’re unnie now. I was calling you wrong earlier.”

“Just keep calling me oppa, you idiot.”

“So, unnie? Are you taking care of your skin and hair?”

“I don’t need to.”

“Exactly!”

“……Really?”

I just use soap, and I’ve never done anything else.

But my hair is shiny and soft, and my body is fine.

“Magical girls are always in top condition! No pimples or blackheads, and our hair never loses its vitality! So, just use soap to remove the smell and add some fragrance, and that’s it!”

“Really? I didn’t know that.”

“Wow, wow… I’m so jealous…”

No wonder, I heard girls have to do a lot of maintenance, but strangely, even though I do the same things as when I was a guy, I’m still fine…

So, there really are such perks.

The more I think about it, the more I feel like becoming a magical girl was the right choice.

The more you dig into it, the more benefits you find, huh?

“Hey, unnie! Let me touch your body!”

“Get lost.”

“Come on~!”

“Don’t touch me.”

“Wow… So soft, so smooth… I’m so jealous… Wow…”

“……”

Her touching my body all over is really annoying.

And stop sniffing me like a pervert.

I’m getting goosebumps…

“It’s so unfair…”

“Why?”

“I have to do all sorts of things to maintain my body, but you… I mean, unnie, just use soap and you’re fine…”

“Did I choose to become like this? Stop it and finish your meal.”

“Sigh~…”

Well, I’ve seen her taking care of her body since she was little, so I can understand, but she shouldn’t call me unfair.

I just risked my life fighting, and now I have to live in this unwanted form.

Though, now that I think about it, the perks are overflowing, so I’m satisfied.

“Ah~ I’m so full~…”

“There’s ice cream too!”

“Hey, don’t give dessert to a girl. They’re sensitive about gaining weight.”

“But Pretty Heart was fine with it.”

“That’s because she has a unique constitution…”

“There’s ice cream? What kind?”

“…Check the freezer.”

“Yay~!”

Since we’re on the topic, I’ll have some ice cream too.

It’s always delicious.

“Wow…! Why is this so good?!”

“It’s from a store only magical girls can use.”

“That’s so unfair!”

“What’s unfair about it… It’s a perk for risking your life.”

“If I had known, I wouldn’t have refused the offer…”

Sigh… She’s jealous of everything.

These perks are nothing compared to risking your life.

“Tch… If you want to eat, come over anytime. Just don’t take it outside.”

“Got it~.”

“And get a job.”

“Got it~!”

“And get a boyfriend.”

“Ah! Really~!”

“My friend’s younger sister already got married.”

“Ah! I’ll handle it myself!”

“You say that, but you never do.”

“……”

I should stop teasing her now.

She doesn’t have much patience, so if I keep going, she’ll explode.

“…Oh, right! Oppa! Ah, no… Unnie! Show me your transformation!”

“Why are you like this too…”

“Ah, hurry~!”

“Why? Why?”

“I wanna brag to my friends.”

“No.”

“Why!”

“Because I don’t want to.”

Sigh… What am I gonna do with this childish girl…

Even if she’s my sister, I can’t do that for her now.

She just wants to take pictures and brag on social media.

If she were a magical girl, maybe, but definitely not you.

“Whatever, if you have nothing to do, just go home.”

“…Oppa.”

“What?”

“If you want me to talk and persuade them properly… This.”

“…Sigh, fine, fine. I’ll give you an allowance, so persuade them properly.”

“Thank you~!”

“Give me your account number.”

“Here~.”

Well, I have more money than I know what to do with… I’ll just send her 1,000,000 won for now.

…Done, sent.

“Wow~… Huh? Wait, you’re giving me this much?!”

“What, were you expecting 200,000 won?”

“Uh, uh…”

“Your allowance’s gonna get cut off soon, right? Use it wisely.”

“Huh? How did you know?”

“Do you think I don’t know? I survived on just 10,000 won a week, and even that got cut off right after high school. You’ve been getting an allowance all through college, so consider it a privilege.”

Even so, she won’t spend it all at once, right?

I trust my sister isn’t that financially irresponsible.

“And now, go home. You just came to check on me, right?”

“Ah, wait! It’s too early to go back!”

“Why again…”

“I’ll teach you about being a girl!”

“Get lost. I’ve already adjusted.”

“Ah…”

I’ve already taken care of periods with medication, gotten used to wearing women’s clothes, and learned how to dry and tie my hair… What else?

Tsk tsk, you’re way too late.

Anyway, I’m just gonna take off my pants and drink beer, so please just go home.

“Why do you keep trying to stay at my place?”

“Because… it’s hot at home.”

“What?”

What kind of nonsense is that… Oh, is that why?

Well… How many people can endure that?

“I mean, you set the air conditioner to 26 degrees! You say it’s not hot if it’s below 30 degrees and just sit there saying it’s cool~!”

“…That’s true. But if you’re gonna be a NEET, you have to endure that.”

“Whatever! I’m staying here until evening!”

“Sigh… Do whatever you want…”

“Yay~!”

Well, the heat is unavoidable…

Fine, enjoy the cool air here for a while.
