Chapter 30:
Outing
Yuriko clung to my arm as if nothing had ever happened. We went about our day going from store to store looking at the various clothes, games, and other things she wanted to see. All the while I could not get those two deaths out of my mind.
"Honestly, she and Cecelia are very similar. Yet there's just something...different." Looking at Yuriko smiling, pointing at things she liked I couldn't help but try and figure it out.
There was a similarity in them, but a difference I just couldn't place. They both killed without batting an eyelash. Without thought and without remorse. Like it was the most natural thing in the world to them. For now, I could only say the difference was their demeanor when doing so.
Then, there was Julius. It was obvious he could fight as well. He had, after all, put several people into the hospital. He didn't kill them, however. Though that doesn't mean he couldn't.
"The entire family...Is insane," I thought that with the most heartfelt fondness I could.
In truth, I was jealous of how capable they all were. I was the most average person ever. No skills, not very sociable, and I just had no drive or energy for anything. When Cecelia took an interest in me, I was afraid that I'd disappoint her.
I had no idea she would be obsessed with me to the point of being a yandere. I felt all of my concerns melt away as I spent more time with her. I didn't need to have a drive or motivation. I could just simply...be.
It was refreshing and I couldn't be happier. Knowing I was a part of this family, and I could just be myself was the best feeling I ever could have had. It was the reason why the guilt of being turned on by Yuriko weighed on me heavily.
"I really have a thing for women like this..." Shaking my head, I followed after Yuriko as she ran on ahead, so carefree.
Night had approached us as we found ourselves in a mall. Sitting at their food court for dinner. It was something Yuriko wanted to try. It was all automated. We simply had to sit down, go through the menu of various foods, send the payment, and it would be delivered to our table via automated server.
Drinks were dispensed through an opening in our table as we waited. Yuriko was leaned forward, playing with the straw in her mouth as she drank absentmindedly. I had no idea she was about to say something that would send my blood running cold.
"So...do you get turned on by my sister too?" Her tongue flicked the straw around, her eyes taking me in playfully, "When she fights or kills?"
I felt my heart stop in my chest as I realized she had, in fact, notice I had been turned on. I had tried to hide it, but failed. It felt like all my blood drained from my body as I wanted to die of embarrassment right there on the spot.
"I...I don't know what you mean," Smiling awkwardly, I tried to change the subject, "Is your drink alright?"
"Yeah, it's tasty," She swirled the straw around with her fingers now, smiling softly, "So, do you?"
"...Do I?" I asked her, feigning ignorance.
"Get turned on by my sister as well?" Taking a sip from her drink, she continued, "Do you like that stuff?"
"...N-No?" I flustered about, wanting anything but to talk about this, "I...I just..."
Her smile was fairy-like as she giggled, "You're so bashful."
"W-Well that's...I mean..." Letting out a frustrated sigh, I folded my arms on the table and rested my head upon them, "...Yes, I do, but it's not the blood or anything. I have a squeamish stomach..."
"Oh? She did mention that," She looked up in thought, "So...what is it then?"
"I don't know," Shrugging, I cast my eyes downwards, "I just...find it really hot. The way she handles others. She lets no one mess with her..."
"Except for you," Yuriko's words rang true as I nodded, "So, you get aroused when she shows her strength and murderous tendencies?"
She was so bold and unabashed by asking these sudden questions. I had no idea how she could keep a straight face.

"I...guess so," Blushing, I buried my face into my arms, only my eyes looking up at her, "It's just...hot."
She watched me with an amused expression as our food arrived. Digging in, it wasn't anything fancy, but was still delicious. She had a way with being extremely blunt and direct. She never beat around the bush, and it was a bit disconcerting to me.
Yet, I appreciated it as well. It felt like I was getting to know her a lot better. She seemed to be calming down and being a bit more "normal", whatever that was lately, I had no idea. My "normal" wasn't exactly normal, and ever since I married Cecelia, my life has been anything but. So, who was I to say? Still, Yuriko was who she was. I didn't mind either way.
"I wonder what Celia will think when I tell her of your proclivities," Yuriko gave me a playful wink as we entered the hovercar to return home, "Getting turned on by her little sister...how naughty."
She teased me, pressing herself against me as her arms wrapped around mine. Her breasts felt soft as they pushed against my arm. Gulping, I did my best to ignore it as I shifted around. Looking out the window as we began to move, a silence settled between us.
"Could I...ask a favor?" Her soft voice broke the silence, suddenly bashful herself.
Looking up at me, her eyes were soft. Their amber color shimmering beautifully. My heart pounded in my chest as I agreed. It was the first time I ever saw her face become so somber. The slightest hint of a smile on her face as she took my hand and placed it on top of her head.
"Can you...pet me like before?" She asked sweetly, quietly.
It was such a pure, innocent request that I held no power to resist. Despite her just recently teasing me, I couldn't say no.
"Of course," I smiled warmly, beginning to pet the top of her head.
Closing her eyes, she rested against me. Her entire body seeming to relax. It was in that moment my heart gave way. Relaxing, I felt her soft hair beneath my hand. I didn't stop until we arrived home. By then, she had fallen asleep. It was strange, watching her.
In a moment that was in such contrast to how she normally is, she showed me vulnerability. If there was anything I could do for her, I would. I felt a connection to her, and perhaps it was my bleeding heart, but I wanted to protect her. To make sure that smile of hers never faded.
"Foolish," Cecelia told me as we arrived and I told her my thoughts, "Do you not know what you've done today?"
She smiled warmly as she lifted her sleeping sister in her arms. Carrying her inside, I followed.
"You say you wish for that, but..." Glancing at her sister, a certain calm across her face, "You did just that today."
"I did?" Confused, I tried to understand, "Was going out with her really that important?"
"...Yes," Cecelia answered me quietly, "Back then, she was never allowed out. As time went on, we were too busy to do so."
It began to dawn on me just what she meant.
"So...she was able to go out with someone," I muttered, finally understanding.
"Yes," Cecelia stopped before the door to Yuriko's room, "Neither Julius, or myself could go. She has very few friends, so you going with her most likely meant the world to her."
"...I see," I found myself smiling, my heart warming immensely, "Then...I'm glad."
I felt soft lips upon my forehead as Cecelia leaned down to kiss me.
"Thank you, my love," She told me, the door to Yuriko's room opening, "For indulging her. I hope you understand...You are able to do a lot more than you think. Just by existing. Just by being you."
With that, she left me in the hallway as she put her sister to bed. I waited for her after. I had a lot to think on, but today had been a lot better than I first thought.
