Life with my Little Sister

Episode 397: Coming Back

Oh - my leg hurts.

The ones I'm unfamiliar with were weird brothers and sisters.

When the two of them came into Mogumi, where Aina and I were, everyone but us bothered.

My brother and sister have good faces, so I'm sure there was something I thought.

But the first thought I had was, "I don't care."

'Cause, right?

They looked so happy.

I was wearing beautiful clothes.

I'm sure I've lived a privileged life without any difficulty.

Oh, yeah.

This is just jealousy.

But.

But I do.

That's all I envy about being satisfied with five bodies.

I was quick.

I was most confident in this nursery if I were to limit myself to running, and even to the guy who actually was a health idiot Brev, I only lost once in a while.

When I grew up, it was my goal to be in the competition.

But that has become an unfulfilled dream.

More so because I suffered from a rare illness like this.

Since then, I've been unable to run.

Because if you jump or jump, your legs hurt badly.

Moreover, the injuries have gradually increased and these days I have started to feel painful just walking.

Wouldn't I be able to even walk one day?

It's not just that I can't do my favorite kick.

Getting around becomes impossible in itself.

It was a terrible fear.

But I can't speak weak.

Because my sister Aina, it was harder.

Aina's eyes, suffering from the same illness as mine, gradually became invisible with pain.

"Ouch......! It hurts, brother..."

There's no way I can put my fear in my mouth when I see my sister crying like that.

But there's nothing more I can do for you.

There was no word I could call him.

The doctor told me that there was no way to cure her sooner, and she also told me to give up.

"Aina's eyes...... You're not healing anymore?

You can't be looking up at me like I'm about to cry and saying, "Yes."

So I lied.

"... Kamisama?

"Oh, God! If you pray to God, he will surely help Eina! I'm sure you'll cure Eina!

"Really...!? Really, Eina's eyes, heal...!?"

"Oh, absolutely!

I knew how cruel I was.

I also have the feeling that it's a stupid statement.

Because I know best myself that God won't do anything for me.

Because I knew with my own hands that praying was futile.

Every day, every day, I keep praying that my legs are healed, and the only result I have left is' worse '.

Cry many times when you're alone, resent God.

I'm trying to make my sister taste it, too.

- Then, Aina started praying every day.

"Kamisama. Please heal your brother and Aina."

Give me my name...!

Aina was trying to cure my legs as well as herself.

My sister kept praying hard every day because she didn't know it was a distressing lie.

But like I didn't get paid at all.

Eina's right eye followed the path of deterioration.

"It hurts...! It hurts... Huh! Why is it so painful? Eina's prayer, it's not enough yet...!?"

I couldn't do anything to my sister, distorted by fear and pain.

"Keep it up, Rack will need a cane next month, and Aina's eyes..."

Word clouding doctor's words are a lot heavier than God's.

The only thing that we don't have a future for is that I know it well in my child's heart.

Oh - and my leg hurts.

My brother-in-law, who was supposed to be thriving with everyone in his class, came here for some reason.

Those eyes are straight at us.

Is there anything I can do for you?

"Hey."

For the sake of the child, the boy with a strangely tedious atmosphere laughed softly.

Kind of feels like I'm so used to laughing.

- It's frigid.

That's all I got against this brother.

"... what can I do for you?"

"Yeah. I was wondering if we could play together."

"... I'm not willing to play. Get over there."

"You're stuck.... How are you?

Without worrying about my rejection, I'm tired, man. - Did you say alto or something? - stared at Eina in the middle hips.

"Ugh..."

Aina, who originally has eyes on top of the drawn-in idea, steps back and leans down.

"Hey! Don't scare my sister!

"I want to get along with this girl, and I'm not going to scare you at all. - Hello, Aina."

What a fat guy.

Alto speaks to Aina, still smiling.

"... oh, hello..."

Aina, a good person, has replied to a guy like this in fright.

But my sister immediately distorted her face.

I guess this guy didn't do something, his right eye hurt.

"... eh. Ouch, ouch..."

"Are you okay?"

Alto touched Eina safely.

My sister accidentally touched me and I was cut, but my leg that I tried to step out hurt and I couldn't pull it off.

"Damn...!

"That way, too, okay?

"Ugh, shut up......! Get away from Aina......!

"Hmm..."

"Hey, do what...!?"

Alto has touched me as well as Aina.

Even though there is no reluctance, such a touch, like a light stroke, like dealing with a broken object.

"Oh, yeah. You're really just a chunk. I don't know what this will do."

"What are you talking about?"

It was strange.

Until then, I felt the pain in my leg suddenly eased.

"Oh, that...? Aina's eyes, it doesn't hurt......?

That seemed to be the same for my sister.

The distressed look from earlier seems to be a lie.

"Aina...... eh"

I stepped out to stop by my sister,

"... Gu!

Again, I warped my face in pain.

Was it my fault that I felt the pain pulled off?

Alto is speaking to Aina.

"Aina, do your eyes hurt?

"Ugh, yeah...... Aina, my eyes are hurting and I'm getting blind... He said that if I stay like this, I won't be able to see him completely... That's why I pray to you every day, Aina. May your brother's legs and Eina's eyes be better."

"Right...... You're great. Plus, strong and gentle. I even care about your brother's legs."

"'Cause, brother, you're gonna be nice to Aina too... I love Kako...... I want you to be able to run again..."

That's right.

Aina is such a good girl.

So God, please just heal my sister's eyes.

I don't care if I can't walk anymore.

Alto looked at us like that and laughed nicely.

"What's wrong?"

"No, what. I thought God would do me a favor if we were so sympathetic brothers and sisters."

What are you talking about, this guy?

That's not true.

If a miracle were to happen, it would be strange if I hadn't healed Eina!

Alto then pointed to a point.

"Cyril would have Cyril's patron saint, wouldn't he?

"Am I? - What, ahhh!? When did that thing show up...!?"

There, a strange statue was placed.

I know what you are.

No, anyone who lives in this city.

That was God who saved Cyril a year ago.

A weird-faced god, like Mejed.

(Speaking of which, let's say that statue came out of nowhere last year...!?)

At that time, everyone was making a scene that it was a miracle.

And on the night of the star festival, I actually saved everyone.

(No way, do miracles really happen...!?)

I should have known God wouldn't do anything for me.

I was overwhelmed by a stunning statue that seemed to move.

(Unlike the gods that churches and temples worship, those mejeds and all that weird stuff have 'achievements'... Maybe, maybe -)

While I was hesitant, Aina was moving in front of a weird statue.

And I put my fingers together and prayed.

"Kamisa, please heal your brother...! And I'd love to see Eina healed too."

Like responding to that word.

The statue of Mejed emitted a strange light.

"Huh...!? What... Huh!?"

In the bright light, everyone in "Mogumi" looks back.

The light of Mejed reached us in that.

"Isn't this a miracle for Master Mejed?

Alto Crainput slapped us with a pong as he uttered some bar-reading words.

That, moment.

"Huh -!?"

Starred light falls out of our bodies.

At the same time, from the legs that were supporting the body.

From my painful feet just standing.

The pain had disappeared even more.

"Oh, brother......! Aina......! Aina's eyes, it doesn't hurt...... Huh! Aina's eyes, I can see...... ugh!

My sister's right eye, which should have stared dark, sparkled like before.

"Ho, a miracle really happened -!?"

"Rack-kun!? Eina!?"

A teacher who knows about our illness rushes over.

This man should also know the changes in his sister's eyes visibly.

"Ah! The light of Kami...!

Aina points.

As if, 'The role is over', the statue of Mejed disappeared.

As if ascending into heaven, the remnants of light disappear into the sky.

I don't know if this was really a miracle or not.

Maybe someone is fooling me.

But it's true that the pain disappeared from my leg.

And it's also true that the light returned to Aina's eyes.

"Brother......!

"Aina...... ugh!

We had a hug.

Indeed, only the reality of 'cured' was there.

"Brother, Aina's eyes, I can see......!

"Oh, me too, look......!

Step on your feet with Dundan.

It doesn't hurt. It doesn't hurt.

I can run with this. I can move this.

"Brother! My brother. Oh, my God!

Aina was crying.

And maybe me, too.

Hard to believe, but I just have to admit it.

Surely there was a god here.

He heard my sister's hard wishes.

From that day on, I clearly gained a god to believe in.

My legs are no longer - they don't hurt.
