A week has passed since our sister and brother made a mistake.

Since that day, my body has shivered just by face-to-face with Richt. "I wonder if my brother will mausoleum me again," he thought, causing fear and intense disturbance.

But Richt didn't try to get his hands on me again just to hold me gently trembling like that.

I wonder what Nate is doing now. Second, such an idea crosses the back of my brain.

Richt just kept him away from me and shouldn't have done any direct harm. But... what if Nate notices' strange 'and asks Richt about it...?

Richter now would surely hurt him relentlessly.... Oh, no. There is chest noise.

That's how I was worried about it, and I heard a knock on the conn and the door.

"Ceres. Why don't we go out now?

Suddenly, that's what Richt, who came into the room, suggested.

It's a holiday, so Richter's in the mansion all day. Even though that's just depressing, I can't believe you two are going out together...

Nevertheless... the time is only before noon. How come it's so early today when it's usually around the evening to take a walk?

……

Licht sighs sadly when he sees me just trembling with nothing to answer. For a while, awkward silence ensued, but eventually Richt opened his mouth as he had decided to.

"Let's go"

!?

Richt said so and grabbed my wrist, forcing him out.

I was forced onto the train, and if I realized it, I'd come a long way.

If you're the usual Richter, you keep me locked in your room and out as long as you can unless there are special circumstances like this... I didn't think you'd be traveling by train this far.

Where the hell are you going to take me?

With that in mind, I stare at the beautiful side of Richt looking out the window with his elbow on the window frame.

When I heard the conductor's announcement, Richt, who noticed it, pulled my hand and rose out of his seat. Apparently, he's going down at the next station.

"It's been a long time since you've been here, hasn't it?

When I got off the train, Richt asked me that.

dome-like roofs, and platforms where colorful trains stop. Although it is a natural landscape in this world...... somehow, this place is reminiscent of the view of London that I saw when I went on a school trip in my previous life.

At that time, I had to act differently because my class was different from my hopes, but still my hopes acted with me and my classmates made fun of me for telling me that they were overprotective in Cisco. Thanks to this, this station is somewhat impressive.

Surely there's a magic lab near this station where we've been tested for magic. Does that mean that the last time I visited this place was almost another year ago?

Upon leaving the station, Richt told me to wait a moment and stopped at the crepe shop in front of the station. And so he bought two crepes and handed me one.

It's a crepe with my favorite clam on it. Even though he hasn't said anything, Richt is still going to pick something that I'm going to be happy with.

Seeing that really made me realize that he knows everything about me.

With that said, you're already around noon and you still haven't had lunch. Well, I don't really feel like eating because I don't have an appetite anyway...

Even in my previous life, this is how we used to buy and eat crepes on our way home from school.

I was tough on eating boulders every day, though he said his hopes for something sweet were "enough to never get tired of eating them every day". Nevertheless, I remember being fit for him even when I couldn't because I liked to see my brother's face eating happily that way.

Later, Richt took me to a store where clothes of my choice were sold, and bought me cute accessories.

It's kind of like a date when you're doing this. No way...... is this meant to be a sin while you keep all that terrible treatment?

"I want you to follow me because there's a place I want to go later," Richter said, peeking into my face as he leaned down, frustrated by his brother's attitude like that.

"This place..."

They brought me to an unexpected place, and I squealed so unexpectedly.

Where we are now is the little chapel we visited when our twins were five and ten years old. I brought back memories of my previous life here.

And it's also here that I replied irresponsibly before my memory came back that Richt told me to "marry" and say, "Yeah, let's marry" and so on. I regret that very much now.

"It's been six years since I've been here."

"... how did you get me here?

"You've finally got your mouth shut."

When I inquired, Richt continued his eye-opening conversation with a slight surprise.

"I want you to marry me."

"Huh...?

I overheard it. What the hell is he talking about...?

"Of course, it is well known that it is legally impossible. But I really want to have a wedding with you. Just the shape, will you be the bride?

When I heard about Richt, I got to the point. I see... so Richter told me to put on some white clothes before he went out?

But in my current state of mind, I can't seem to accept his favor. Ning Ro, I wonder "how selfish a man you are," and I get even more angry.

"I don't care if they say that..."

Though I replied so, I was pushed by Richt's temper to stare at this one with a serious eye, and I reluctantly decided to swallow his demands.

"... ok"

"Thanks. That's why I rented out this place today. And... I've got this too."

When he said that and turned his gaze down, Richt's palm had two rings on it. Soon, I even had a ring ready...

Then we exchanged each other's rings, as Richter said, and exchanged words of vow - and our sister and brother did the wedding imitation.

Now I have all kinds of negative feelings about Richt, like anger, sadness and fear...... anyway.

I used to blame myself for "it's my fault my brother has changed so far," and now I'm more than willing to resent him.

This is how I follow Richt, because I'm afraid of him. I wonder if Richt is really satisfied with forcing me into such a state of affairs for the wedding...

"Yes, I pledge to love the groom, whenever, whenever"

Speaking the words of the oath in an unchallenged voice, Richt turned his hand around my hips and softly lay his lips on top of mine.

"... tell me, Ceres. If I wasn't your blood-connected brother, would you have liked me? Has our relationship changed?

Richt, slowly releasing his lips, asked that with a lonely look.

Because you weren't my brother...? I don't know that.

Because we've been together ever since we were born, both in previous life and in this world, and it's always natural to be next door.

But in my previous life, I had feelings similar to love for you when I was a child. So, if I hadn't been born as a sister and brother, I probably would have fallen in love with you as it was.

But... it's just a hypothetical story. Besides, even if I really wanted to 'marry my brother' when I was a kid, I think it's something that most of the time would make me feel faint if I grew up. The same was true in my case.

So the emotions I had as a kid shouldn't be that uncommon.

……

Richt sighed unfortunately small as he remained silent wondering how to answer.

"I don't even want to answer, do I? As always, you don't see me as a man, and instead of liking me, you hate me day after day.... but ironically it just seems to go well with my body"

……

That's what they say at close range, and I shy away from too much of Richt in shame.

However, contrary to expectations, Richter is aware of my rejection. Apparently, he doesn't even think of it all as convenient for him because he overlapped his body once.

"I can satisfy you in a physical sense. But I can't fill your heart with my love. Because of that, I don't think I beat him at all, even though this is how I monopolize you every day."

When I heard that word, I had a bad feeling about it for some reason. When I saw the fearful Richter's face, I noticed it and he raised his mouth angle nicely.

"Maybe you did something to Nate!? Hey, Richt! Answer me!

As he shouted and shook Richt's shoulder, he stared at me with vain eyes and opened his mouth.

"I didn't do anything. But if he comes into contact again... I won't forgive him then"

"Become..."

To observe from Richt's mouth...... perhaps Nate made a move when he realized something was wrong. It's all about him for worrying about me, so I'm sure he can't back off at once.

"Please, Richt! Don't just hurt him! Even Richt wouldn't really want to hurt a friend who was so close in his previous life!? Instead, because I would take any punishment...... so......!

"I knew you still had untrained.... How come you always are? If we talk about him like that... let alone shelter him, you know I'm in a bad mood, right?

Shit, I thought. Because of what pissed Richt off, his intention to protect Nate turned out to be an extra danger to him.

"... the punishment."

That's what Richt said, hounding me to the wall. And as I wrapped my skirt up with my right hand, I stroked my thigh and put my hand on my underwear.

He has been relatively calm since this morning, but he has hit and changed from earlier to an aggressive attitude.

Oh, how could I have said that... Especially now, I should have known I shouldn't have said words that would stimulate emotionally unstable Richter.

!?

"You're going to take any punishment, aren't you? For example, what if I put in an exchange for" I'm going to offend you every day instead of hurting Nate "?

"Oh, that's..."

"You're gonna accept that, aren't you?

……

"... that's enough. If you shelter him that far, I'll hold him to such an extent that I can't think of anything about him. I don't care if they reject me anymore. I don't care what happened."

"... hey, don't... don't..."

To me begging, Richt returns a cold grin. At the same time both my wrists were grabbed by him and pressed against the wall with strong force.
