Chapter 1 : Taken Away

I’m Shu Shikure. 17 years old Male and on top of that a virgin. It’s not like I’d feel bad telling everyone that I’m a virgin or anything. I’m not like those people who afraid to admit themselves as virgins. However, I’m quite proud of it. Being virgin is –

Ahem!

Sorry, I went overboard. So to continue, I’m a healthy young man. My build and height are average, and I like it that way too. My hair is black and cut short. I know that I’m not really handsome, but my sister always complain that I’m too normal. She said something about me having no characteristic just like background character.

*Sob*

It’s not like I’m sad or anything, ok? I know how I look and I’m not sad about it, ok? Hmph!

“Onii-chan~ dinner is ready. Hurry up and come down!”

Arh! Angel voice is calling me. I won’t be a man if I don’t answer her.

“Hai~!!! nii-chan is coming!!”

Immediately, I no longer see my own room which is on the third floor. With a single leap, I safely reached the ground-as if that’s true. I ran all my might and climbed down the stair tiredly.

*Huff* *Huff*

Why is the stair so high? I used to climb every day so I know, but I didn’t know running was this tiring. Let’s make it a ‘SHU RULE’. Ok! SHU RULE number 19: Never run on the stair in the house. It’s pretty neat. Let’s tell my sisters later and have them follow it.

I’m not a strict brother or something, but isn’t running on the stair dangerous? As a brother, I will never make them face such danger. Well, it’s true that I kind of wanna see them panting and covered in sweat as them came running to my room and then-

“Onii-chan, Amane is afraid. Can – we – sleep – together?”

KYAAA!!!! What am I thinking??!! Disappear this instant my pervert illusion!!! How could I think like that to my angels?!! Unforgivable. Worldly desire, Disperse!!

*Sigh*

Ok. I calm down now. That was dangerous. I can’t believe I almost fell for demon’s temptation. Don’t worry, my angels. Onii-chan will always stay pure!

“Shu-nii. What are you doing grinning on the stair way? Your perverted thought is leaking out.”

“Really?? Ahahaha- Wait no!! What are you talking about? Amano-chan! Your Onii-chan is pure. You know?”

“Please don’t talk to me like this. Shu-nii. You’re gross.”

“SHOCK!”

I almost fell to the ground due to the overwhelming shock, but she giggled in a soft voice. Arrhh~ this smile is soothing. This Onii-chan don’t need anything else. Your smile is enough~no! Your smile is justice! This Onii-chan will protect it!

Matured looking beauty, slim body with silky black hair and she is wearing glasses. This beauty is my sisters!! She has good grade and also good athletic senses. This angel is my sister!! Her cold eyes which seem to pierce even soul combined with her behavior. She is a perfect Kuudere and This Kuudere is my sister!!!

To everyone out there. This girl is my sister, don’t you dare lay your hand on my sister, you scum!!!!

Who was I talking to? I don’t know and I don’t care. Just remember this warning. Ufufufu~

“Shu-nii. You’re making weird face again. What kind of pervert thing are you thinking in the early morning?”

“Amano-chan. Onii-chan will protect your smile!”

“No! I don’t need it. What are you saying with that straight face? And don’t give me a thump up. Did you hit your head or something?”

“Amano-chan. Don’t underestimate Onii-chan. My SHU’s RULE number one: Promises with my sisters must be upheld no matter what. NO matter what you say, I already made my decision. It’s too late to change it now!”

“No, change it! What’s with SHU’s RULE number one? Don’t go making unnecessary rules!! And what’s with that ‘V’ pose? You good for nothing siscon!”

*Crumble*

Suddenly I was frozen and I heard something broke inside me. What did my sister say? I don’t remember and I didn’t hear it.

“Arara~ so it’s Amano-nee and Onii-chan. Amane~ wonder why it was so loud in the morning, but it was you two. Ehehe~”

This healing voice and the lovely laugh. It’s Amane-chan!!!

“Amane-chan!!! Help Onii-chan. Amano-chan is bullying me!”

*Sob*

“Muu~ Amano-nee. Why are you being so cruel to Onii-chan? Can’t you be a bit more nicer to him? Onii-chan need all the love we can give him”

“Hmph. Amane-chan is right. Onii-chan need the love he can get~”

I couldn’t control myself and jumped to embrace her. She patted me on my head and sooth me. Yep! Amane-chan is the best!!! Oh, if you’re wondering who she is?

She is my sister. Yeah, did you hear that? She is my sister. This soothing and beautiful girl is my sister. Her voice and laugh are both charming. She is a bit air-head, but this clumsiness of her only added to her perfection!! To the world, I’ll say, Onii-chan is the luckiest person alive!!!

Amane Shikure and Amano Shikure are my sisters, and they are twin. Just how lucky am I? Onii-chan is happy. Amane-chan is still patting my back and head. Her hand is so soft and her voice is amazing. Voice actress can’t even compare to her. My sister is comparable to god.

Arhh~ her fragrant is also smell good- Wait no. what am I talking about??!! It’s too dangerous. I have to get away.

Before demon’s temptation become irresistible, I got away from Amane-chan’s embrace. Arh-sorry Onii-chan got away so sudden. It’s not I hate you or something, ok? However, Onii-chan must stay pure.

As I backed away, she pouted and pulled back her hand. How cute!!! Did I make a wrong choice? Should I stay in her embrace?? No, this is correct. This is the right way. Onii-chan need to be pure. Worldly desire, disperse!

Amano apologize to me since she went overboard. And then we had dinner together. Amane-chan is an amazing cook. She’ll make a good wife someday, but I won’t let that happen any time in the near future. Onii-chan is worried. Onii-chan must protect you!! You’re still in high school, so wait until you finished master- NO, wait until Onii-chan said so!

“Onii-chan! Onii-chan~ What will you do tomorrow?”

While having dinner, Amane-chan calls out to me happily. ‘Thank you for the food’, I almost blurt that out. Ok, let’s be serious. My sister is asking me here.

“Hmph! Onii-chan Is free for tomorrow. So what’s wrong? Do you want to go for a date with Onii-chan?”

“No, actually~”

Amane-chan fidget for a bit and then she took out a paper out of her student’s bag. Bashfully she handed me the paper.

“Can you promise me that you’ll check out this place in this flier?”

“Ok, anything for my sister is fine! Even if it is hell, Onii-chan will go~”

Satisfied with the scene of her bashfulness, I agreed without looking at the flier.

/……Job Recruitment…../

Glancing at the first line, I almost fell to the ground. After reading the whole thing, my hand trembled.

“What’s the meaning of this? Amane-chan. Could that be you possibly tired of me now and tried to kick me out of house?”

“heh~? Of course not! What are you talking about, Onii-chan? How could I do that? Amane just want Onii-chan to check out that place, that’s all.”

“That’s a lie? Right? Amane-chan finally got tired of Onii-chan. What have Onii-chan been doing? What’s going to happen to my love? Is Onii-chan going to be kicked out for sure?”

“No! T-T-T-That’s not true! DIdn’t Amane said she just wanted Onii-chan to check out that place?”

“Onii-chan know. It’s alright. When Amane-chan lie, Amane-chan always stutter at her own word.”

“heh~? What should Amane do? Amano-nee help me~”

“Aham! Shu-nii. I also agreed with Amane-chan. You should check out that place.”

Amano said and then silent hit the room. I slowly raise my head and stand up.

“I’ll go and pack up my stuff and perhaps find a place to stay. My sisters really kicked me out.”

“Hah??!! Wait up! How did you get to that conclusion? Shu-nii! Will you calm down first and listen to me?”

“Don’t tell me you’re going to stomp on Onii-chan and mess with the thing that I packed and laugh happily while saying something ‘Serve you right’, right?”

“What kind of villain, am I? I’m not a sadist! And Shu-nii, what’s happen? You look like your soul is being drained away.”

“Amano-nee. Hurry up and save Onii-chan. D-D-Demon is going to take Onii-chan~”

“Tsk! There’s no choice. Amane, we have to do that move!”

“heh~? Oh! That move! Alright, Amane’s ready to go anytime”

Hmm? What are they doing? Suddenly, they came and cuddled one of my arm each. Then with sparkle eyes, they looked up to me at close counter.

“Onii-chan~ Go and check out that place, please?~”

CRITICAL DAMAGE!!!!

Close-up with up turned eyes. This is foul play. Who invent this fearsome technique? YOU HAVE MY THANK!! Arhh, no. I suddenly lost every energy in me. I’m becoming fluffy!

“Ehehe~ Ok. Onii-chan will go and check out that place tomorrow.”

““~YEAH~””

Amane and Amano claps their hand happily. It seems like they enjoy teasing their brother. Well, I can understand why they did this. I’m basically a NEET.

So it was understood that they wanted me to find job. Well, it wasn’t the first time too. They have been suggesting me a lot of place, but they all turn out to be bad so I didn’t choose them.

Oh by the way, I finished my PhD degree already, and I’m not employed. It’s kind of impossible for 17 years old kid to have PhD degree. However, I do have my PhD degree and I did have my proof. Some people say that I was some kind of genius or something, but I don’t think so. Since because during my study years, I don’t remember anything. I know my family and anyone I met before, but during the time I was studying, I didn’t remember any of it. I don’t even remember anyone from my academy.

However, that’s not important. The important stake at hand now is this problem.

“I know why you want me to find a job, but why here? If it was your school, I would be happy to work there.”

“No, Anywhere but there! Onii-chan shouldn’t come to our school at all.”

Amane protest loudly.

“Why? Why can’t I be with you guy? I can watch over you guy, work and watch over you guy at the same time!!”

“You just only want to watch over us, right? Shu-nii. You don’t care about teaching at all, do you?”

“No mean no! if Onii-chan go there then Onii-chan will become popular and then senpai and girls in my girl will crowd Onii-chan. And then, my position as Imouto will be gone.”

Wow, that’s some interesting imagination, you have there, Amane. However, that make me happy. Onii-chan is so happy he can fly! And imagine Amane-chan being jealous of me is also good~.

“it’s h-h-h-hurt!”

“Baka Shu-nii. What are you grinning about?? I don’t care if you come to my school or not! hmph”

Amano pinched me and pouted. Arrhh, that reaction just now- Is Amano capable to open the new path of tsundere? Kuudere at front and hidden tsundere, what’s with this godly combination?

“Come to think of it, Amane-chan. Didn’t you say that you need help with your study?”

“Ara~ Onii-chan remembered! Hai- Amane need help with math. Sensei will get angry at Amane, if Amane don’t improve! And you know what, Onii-chan? Amano-nee never help me with my study.”

“Oh no, don’t you blame me. Amane-chan. You should know that it is your responsibility to do your own homework. And you shouldn’t copy from me at all. Do it yourself and feel the greatness of study!”

“Muu~ Amane’s not like Amano-nee. Amane’s not good with study and you know that. Amane’s only good in taking care of Onii-chan.”

“That’s absolutely right! Amane-chan’s only good in taking care of Onii-chan”

I followed up Amane-chan who declared that loudly.

“Don’t follow up her! And what’s with that mutual understanding atmosphere?! Shu-nii. You can’t be too soft. You have to be serious with Amane-chan. Her grade has been dropping slightly. Teachers are talking about it now, you know?”

“Emm, Now that’s a bit problematic.“

“I think it is best to confiscate all her games.”

“heh??~~ You can’t do that to Amane. Onii-chan help me~”

I turned to look at Amane who was sobbing. Arh! She is just like a wounded rabbit. I want to cuddle her!! How could a Amane-rabbit be so cute?!!

However, let’s focus here. She faces problem and she need me to decide it. As a brother, I can’t let this pass. She has problem with study then I’ll help her. There is no need to think, the answer is obvious.

“Amano-chan is right. However, there is no need to confiscate her games. I’ll help Amane-chan with her study and the game can only be played when I allow to. Is that ok?”

“YEAH, Onii-chan is the best!!”

“Well, if Shu-nii said so. hmph”

Unlike Amano-chan who is good in study, Amane-chan is a bit slow. Compare to other, she would be considered below average. However, what kind of brother am I to call her below average? No matter what happen to her, she is still my sister. And I’ll always support my sister to the bitter end. That is also SHU RULE.

And then, we finished the dinner. I helped Amane-chan washing the dishes, and then I also help cleaning the kitchen and dining room with Amano-chan. Later on, we watched some comedy show on the TV while I take out the cake I bought yesterday for surprise.

Amane-chan is jumping around happily. Arh~ that child is so cute. I can’t get enough of it. Amano-chan has her poker face on, but she enjoyed eating the cake. Why? Because I bought her favorite and I also observe her face all the time. She is clearly happy and she couldn’t stop eating the cake. Don’t underestimate Onii-chan, you know? Onii-chan know everything about you.

Since it was getting late, I urged them to go to bed. I clean up what’s left and then I went to the ancestor’s shrine and pay respect to my parent. Amano and Amane has already paid their respect. So it was my turn to make a daily report of my sisters.

I wish that everyday could be like this, and I can watch over my sisters growing up into fine ladies. I felt weird making a wish like that since it was as if I pulled a death flag. However, that doesn’t matter. I said what I think and it is good enough.

However, what I didn’t know was my normal daily life was about to be broken.

“KYYAAAA!!!!”

Suddenly I heard Amane-chan’s scream. I rushed to the second floor to their room without caring of anything.

“Amane-chan!! Amano-chan!”

I kicked open the door and then I saw some kind of formation drawing on the ground in the middle of the room. It was glowing in bright light while Amane-chan and Amano-chan was standing in its parameter. It was glowing brighter and I really have a bad feeling about it.

“Onii-chan!!!”

Amane-chan called out to me. Damn, what am I doing? What if something happen to my sister? How will I face myself?? Move it! Save them!

I then run into the formation and pushed them away.

“Onii-chan!!!!”

That was the last thing I remembered as I lost my consciousness when the light engulfed me. I was right about the light. I make the correct choice pushing them away. If they had been caught up in it, they would have died. Thank god, I made it in time.

…

Wait, didn’t I die? But how am I still be able to think like this? Something is wrong here! Somehow I had a bad feeling about this. My gut will tell me that in the next moment somebody will say something like –

“HEROES OF THE DIFFERENT WORLD, WE WELCOME TO YOU TO ATHENA’S KINGDOM. PLEASE HELP US DEFEAT THE DEMON RACE-”

There it is!!!! The worst and most clichéd outcome really happened. I opened my eyes and I saw that I was inside the formation with many people looking stupefied just like me and surrounded by people wearing robe and holding staff.

I’m not dumb, I read many light novel and I know something this. And of course, I didn’t expect it at all. To think that it was real hahahaha. Yeah, to make it short. I was taken away- in another word, I was summoned to a different world.
