Chapter 37 - A Call From My Sister
After that incident, I went back to my room and tried to sleep... But couldn’t. So I just began doing random things with my phone until I got a random phone call at 10 pm.
“Hm? My sister?”
Yup, it was my sister calling me. She did say that we should get in contact more often after her visit... But isn’t this too early? It hasn’t even been that long since she left.
I clicked the accept button while making sure I had my earphones on. And It was the correct decision that I made sure that I had them on, because...
“Yoho! Onii-chan, how’s your life doing?” Sayuri said in a loud voice.
“Ouch! You talk too loud. Dial it down a bit.”
“Ehehe, sorry about that. But you know, I only called you tonight for two things!”
“Hoh? And what are those?”
“Well, first! You hadn’t gotten in contact with me since I left! Not even in messages!”
“Oh, I suppose that’s true...”
“And second! I was wondering what happened with Fumiko-san...”
“Ah that, huh.”
I began explaining to her what had happened since she left.
“HA!? What!? You guys are now living together?!”
“Loud. And yeah, we kinda are I guess... Of course we have separate rooms, but I’m still worried about her, you know?”
“Uwa... this is making my head hurt...”
“You’re overthinking this.”
“I AM NOT! It’s inappropriate! A man and woman without a romantic relationship are living together! Anyone would be worried!”
“That’s what I thought too, so I tried giving Sakurai a lock to her room and pepper spray. I tried getting tazers too, but apparently it’s illegal here. For some reason, she rejected it though, while saying that she trusts me... While I am glad that she trusts me, isn’t it still too careless of her being that defenseless when she’s in a room close to mine?”

“Ah... now that I hear you say that, I got reminded why me worrying was just stupid... My onii-chan doesn’t have the gut to do anything like that after all~”
“Oi.”
“Well anyway, just contact me regularly via SNS now, okay? At least once a day. From now on, I need to monitor you two...”
“Isn’t that a bit too frequent? Fine though, I’ll try my best.”
“Thank you~ And oh yeah, does her parents even know about this?”
“Ah well... apparently she hasn’t told them yet.
“Uwa... whatever, I won’t intervene in your business about that, you guys should know how to handle it better than me. Well then, goodnight my beloved onii-chan~”
“Yeah yeah, goodnight to you too, my beloved little sister.”
“Somehow, it sounds disgusting when you say it...”
“Goodbye.”
“Ciao!”
Finally, I was able to hang up on that hellish phone call.
I felt exhausted enough and was able to sleep quickly afterwards.
Talking to my sister is the most tiring that happened today, even when comparing it to everything else, huh... Family sure is something else.
