"To You, My Beloved"

Koi: Five more minutes... until we’re supposed to meet up...!

Hah~, it’s been so long since I had a day off with Ai. And we’re buying stuff together!

It’s also been a while since we’ve arranged to see each other outside like this, so I feel a little nervous...

Wait... huh?

Ai: Ah!

Koi: AI~!

Ai: Onii-chan~!

Koi: Long time no see, Ai!

Ai: Mm...! Mmhmm! Long time no see, Onii-chan! Have you been well?

Koi: Super-good, like super-duper-good! And I’m even better now that I’ve gotten to meet you!

Ai: Fufu! You’re exaggerating~ But I’m also happy, now that I’ve gotten to meet you for the first time in a while.

I’m just so, so happy!

[They both laugh together.]

Koi: Hmm... Ai, did you get a little taller?

Ai: Um... Maybe? But if you’re going to bring that up, how about you, Onii-chan.

You’ve gotten even taller! You’re way bigger than I am now~!

Koi: Heheheh~ Haven’t I gotten cooler? ✨

My dream of becoming 180cm is no longer out of my reach!

Ai: Dream...? Being about as tall as Hajime-san and the like?

Koi: Yep. I guess I should call it a goal, not a dream. I want people to whisper about me in the background, like, “Oh, he’s so cool!” just by me walking around.

Ai: It’s... your goal to have people whisper about you...?

But even disregarding height, I think you’re always just so cool!

Koi: —Gah...

AIIIIII~!!! *He hugs her.*

Ai, you’re the only one... The only one who’d say something like that to me...!

Ai: E-Eh~? That’s not... something I hope is the case...

Koi: *sigh* I knew it. Ai, no matter how big you get, you’ll always be my adorable little sis—...

Ai: ? Onii-chan?

Koi: Hm. You... have gotten bigger, Ai. Er—No, I’m not going to say what, but... Mm.

It’s like, all sorts of stuff about you has gotten bigger. Packed full of dreams.

Your big brother is shocked.

Ai: Uh...? ......!

*gasps* Onii-chan, YOU PERVERT!!!

*She slaps him.*

[They’re walking through the city.]

Koi: Ai~... Ow, ow, ow... You didn’t have to hit me so hard...

Ai: Onii-chan.

Koi: I’m sorry. Sorry. So sorry! Please, I’m so sorry, Ai~!

The words were out of my mouth before I realized what was going on, so...!

Ai: You’re the one at fault for suddenly saying weird things. Reflect on your mistake.

Koi: Yes, ma’am... I am.

Ai: Sheesh... It’s been so long since we’ve seen each other, and I was out here thinking about how cool you’ve gotten~ How mature you’ve gotten~

I was this close to getting emotional, you know~?

Koi: Okay, but I feel the same way about you. You’ve gotten so mature, too.

And when you called out to me back there, in my mind, I was just so surprised.

Ai: Eh...? You really think so?

Koi: Of course I do! In the past, you were just thiiiiiiiis tiny~

Ai: Fufu! That’s way too tiny. And if I were that tiny, you must’ve been just as tiny, right?

Koi: Heh, true. A long time ago, we didn’t have that much of a height difference as we do now. Our faces were way more similar, too.

Since we’re twins.

Ai: Mmhmm!

Koi: We usually swapped places and played around, huh?

Ai: We sure did~

Onii-chan, you’d pretend to be me and go get another round of snacks after you’d just gotten them.

Koi: Ahh! I did do that!

And it came in a set with me getting found out, and them getting upset at me!

Ai: Yeah, that! Ah...!

Onii-chan, perfect timing! We’re talking about snacks right now, and~?

Look! There are so many candies here!

Koi: True... It’s almost Halloween, so maybe it’s for that?

Ah! Ai, look. Doesn’t this take you back? Chocolate in a glasses-shaped package!

Ta-dah~!

Ai: Fufufu! Onii-chan, you really did love that. And then I...

Ah! Found it! I loved this strawberry-flavored chocolate~

Koi: You did... You’d store it away specially because you loved it, and when it melted, you cried.

Ai: I-it’s just because I was a kid back then, okay?

Um, uh... Umm... Ah, this one! Onii-chan and I both loved this one!

Koi: The cookies! Even now, I still love these cookies.

Ai: So do I! I have them secretly stocked up in my room.

Koi: Ahaha! Looks like our preferences here haven’t changed.

Ai: Mmhmm!

Koi: Even though what we have internally is so identical, you’re a splendid lady now. I don’t suppose we could swap places anymore.

Ai: Mm... Yeah, that’s asking the impossible...

Koi: Yeah, right?

Ai: We’re twins. We were always with each other when we were little, and so many things about us resembled each other, preferences for snacks included.

But... now that we’ve become adults, I guess we’re getting more and more different from each other.

Koi: Ai...

Ai: It makes me feel... just a little lonely.

Koi: ...Yeah. But...

Ai: But...?

Koi: I think it’s sorta interesting that we’re changing.

Since it feels like, with Ai... I’m connected with you somewhere deeper, deep inside, right at our very roots.

So, I guess you could say... I’m not all that worried?

Ai: Onii-chan...

Koi: Even if surface-level stuff’s changed now that we’ve become adults, our feelings stay the same as they were, back when we were kids... I just get that vibe.

Mmhmm. Because I’m always with you, Ai.

Your big brother’s always cheering on his adorable little sister.

That’s why, even though we’re living apart from each other now... I hope you stay healthy as you do your best. Okay, Ai?

Ai: ...Sure... Me, too...

Koi: Huh?

Ai: I’m always with you, too, Onii-chan. I’m always by your side.

I’ll be cheering you on with all my might!

“Do your best! I love you, Onii-chan!” Like that!

If you’re aiming to become an idol who cheers on his fans, I’ll become your little sister who cheers you on while you’re doing that!

Koi: ......Gotcha!

Ai: Mmhmm.

Koi: Thanks. I love you, Ai.

Ai: Me too. I love you, Onii-chan.
