Chapter 87: 33

Akechi Hideyori is Relieved

“It’s, It’s not like we are on a bad term or anything you know?”

.

.

If I take out the effect of my Gift, my answer would be no, we are not on good terms.

I’ve been gradually removing the restrictions I placed on him with my Gift but I’m still too afraid to completely undo it.

.

.

[[You are going to turn over a new leaf and serve me. Just work hard for my sake. You are forbidden from using any money for your own pleasure. Of course, violence is banned, defiance too. The only reason you are alive is for my convenience.]]

I think back on the command that I used to bind my uncle.

I was too young back then….

.

Before I remembered my previous life.

Before my meeting with Emi.

Right after I lost her huh…….

.

I don’t think I can give such a strong order now.

In fact, I felt sorry for my uncle so I overwrote the part where he can not spend money for his own pleasure but I did not alter the original order beyond that.

.

Come to think of it, maybe that was the moment I and Akechi Hideyori split into two huh?

I do have some memories before I remembered my previous life though…..

.

The moment I recalled everything and remembered that I was Toyotomi Mitsuhide and completely became the current me.

The soul of Akechi Hideyori was overtaken by me, something like that?

.

.

“Is that so? I kind of get the feeling that Onii-chan’s attitude toward him is different from the one with your aunt though……?”

“You’re focusing on that?

“Why are you retorting me like you did Risa-senpai!? You can’t trick me you know!? Your attitude clearly changed when I mentioned him after all!”

.

.

It was all done subconsciously on my part but it seems Seiko did not miss any of that.

.

.

“You don’t have to worry about him, okay? Oji-san is–….”

“Then if our guardians were swapped, how would Onii-chan feel?”

“…………Ha?”

.

.

In an instant, my entire body was covered by goosebumps.

The shock was so much that if I got hit by Mishima’s [Energy Drain] right now, I would probably faint immediately.

.

.

.

Seiko could have gotten adopted by my uncle instead of me?

.

.

.

The moment that possibility came up, time stopped for me.

.

.

.

[[Why do I have to raise my damn brother’s kid!? Die you brat.]]

[[Don’t think even for a second that anyone would be able to love a brat like you. You will never be needed by anyone your entire life. And stop looking at me with those eyes, it’s annoying.]]

[[You only live according to my [Decree], you hear, Hideyori? Betrayal will not be tolerated. You’re only alive because I allow it.]]

[[Come on, Hideyori! Open up! Come on, Come on, Come on!!]]

.

.

.

.

[[Oba-san……, why won’t you help me……..? I……, am I going to get killed by Oji-san…….?]]

.

.

.

One after another, bad memories came back to me.

Seiko could have been the one who had to go through all that?

She might have turned out to be like that scumbag……..?

.

.

.

“……., Seiko!”

“Uwah!? O, Onii-chan…….?”

“…..I’m glad…… I’m so glad that you didn’t get taken in by the Akechis…….”

.

.

Before I knew it, I was already hugging the girl in front of me.

Seiko could have become the victim of my uncle.

The thought chills me to the bone.

“Onii-chan…….”

“I’m glad…… I’m glad you’re not an Akechi……. I’m glad you were not the one who had to suffer……..”

“I see…..”

.

.

Seiko raised her voice as if she understood.

She probably mostly gets why I don’t want to talk about my uncle now.

.

.

“You exaggerated so much, Onii-chan…..eh?”

“…………”

“Onii-chan, you’re crying!?”

“Eh?”

.

.

Hearing Seiko, I immediately touched my cheek. It was wet.

It’s true, I was crying.

.

.

.

.

Akechi Hideyori was the game character who I hated and despised.

Even though I knew that he was abused in the past, the crimes he committed with a smile on his face simply earned too much hate from the players.

When his backstory was told and the reaction from the players was [So that’s his backstory? No wonder he turned out like that.] However, some players start hating him more because it sounds like the devs were trying to justify what he did.

.

But his past was truly twisted.

I know all about it.

I have experienced it myself.

.

With the same face, the same name, and the same experiences, I have a strong feeling that I would become just like him.

If I didn’t recall my previous life, I would probably have.

I would have become that fiend called Akechi Hideyori……

.

When I think of it that way, even though I know that it’s impossible now, I still feel pity for the original Akechi Hideyori.

After all, his was my one and only path.

.

.

.

.

.

.

If I had lived my life according to the original story, my aunt and uncle would have been killed by me already.

I’d probably never meet Seiko.

After all, I never had any real interest in my real parents or family in general.

Even before I remembered my previous life, I never wanted to meet my real parents.

There was even a moment when I thought that my uncle’s older brother would be even worse and more violent than him.

If Master never mentioned Seiko, I’d have never talked to my aunt about her and wouldn’t even realized that I have a younger sister.

.

That way, if Seiko started working as StarChild……

Would she be able to have a normal happy life without knowing her brother?

There’s a possible future where Seiko and I never meet.

Thinking about that, fear overcame me.

.

.

.

.

.

“Hey, Seiko……? Do you think there’s a world where you and I never meet?”

“No! You’re right in front of me, Onii-chan! I can’t even imagine a world where I can’t get to know you! I’ve always been looking for you, you know!”

“……I see.”

.

.

I was so happy to hear Seiko’s answer that my heart grew bigger.

That’s right, it’s just impossible.

There’s no such world where I can not meet Seiko.

.

Even without my previous life memories, I should have been able to get to know my own sister.

I would shower her with love.

There’s no doubt about it.

Even the original Akechi Hideyori would adore her for how cute she is.

It just didn’t get portrayed in the game because he wasn’t the protagonist.

.

.

“I, I’m happy I met you, Onii-chan!”

.

.

She’s truly too good for me.

Author Note: It’s Hideyori’s back story! I will stop it at this here because I want to do it seriously in the future though.

TLN: Next up, some surprising realization……
