5, Risa Jumonji (Happy End)
“This place is good, right? Fighting at the riverbank, it’s so youthful.”
I came to the riverbank near my house.
In spring and summer, it’s usually crowded with campers, but now it’s the end of November.
No one uses the riverbank during such a cold period.
“Damn, what’s with you! We’re best friends, aren’t we!? Why would you do something to hurt Risa!?”
“Best friends? Oh, you’re funny…”
Takeru’s straightforwardness, unchanged since elementary school, became more fitting as he got older.
“Are you going to kill me with laughter!” and I let it slip out.
“It’s not like I’m going to hurt you, right? Because, after all, I and Reisa-chan are soulmates, aren’t we? And you’re my siscon older brother, aren’t you?”
“That’s right, big bro, you’re a nuisance.”
“What’s wrong, why?! Reisa?! We promised to think together as siblings, didn’t we?!”
“Ugh, die, big bro.”
“What…?!?”
According to Emi’s investigation, Takureru and Reisa confessed to each other about a week ago.
How disgusting is that?
What kind of siblings are we? It’s like a game, I’m laughing.
“Alright, Emi. Keep Takureru under wraps.”
“I understand.”
“Leave me alone, Sasaki?!?”
Emi, who had received my “Command Control”, hugged Takureru and pinned him down with her body.
Takureru’s just a simple guy who can’t even touch a girl.
“Reisa-chan, let’s show off our PDA in front of big bro.”
“That’s right.”
Reisa-chan kissed me first.
Yeah, taking our time is so elegant.
“Don’t touch me! Don’t touch me, you worthless guy! Pervert!”
“Shut up, then. I’ll lend you the girl who’s under my control. You can do whatever you want, kiss her or whatever.”
“Whoa, what are you doing?! You’re not going to do something to your own girlfriend, are you?! It’s not like Sasaki would do something like that!”
“I’ll do it, I have the gift of controlling people. If I give an order, even Emi and Reisa will move. You’ll see.”
“G-Gift…?! Is that really what’s going on?! Even Reisa is like that…?”
“That’s what it is.”
Too slow, isn’t it.
I’ve been using my gift for 10 years without noticing, and this incompetent guy is… .
That’s just a mouthful, isn’t it?
“Hey, Reisa. Lick my shoes.”
“Yes…”
Reisa crawled on her hands and knees, stretching her tongue to lick my shoes.
Even if you hate to admit it, you must have realized by now that I possess a Gift.
“Coward! What Gift? You’re trash!”
“Hey now… doesn’t that make you trash too? You have a Gift as well.”
“That’s true, but… I don’t understand my own Gift…”
“You have the power to nullify all Gifts. I call it ‘Anti-Gift.’ Unconsciously, you’ve been using your Gift too, idiot! Just stand there and watch the tragic end of the sister you cherished!”
But in the end, his Gift only works on this guy.
So, I just need to enslave everyone else around us with my Gift.
I haven’t forgotten what happened ten years ago when my pride was trampled into the dirt.
“Let go, Sasaki!?”
“…”
I lift Risa’s body up.
Slowly, I’ll completely shatter Takeru’s dignity.
“Risaahhh! Risaaahhh!!”
So annoying.
Maybe I should speed things up and finish this.
“Risaaahhh!! Risaaahhh!! I will never, ever submit to Hideyori!!”
“Anyone who touches my body seems to break free from your gift.”
What, that’s impossible, isn’t it?!
Has that ever happened before?!
“Emi!?”
“Eek! Who are you?!”
Emi shows a frightened demeanor.
No good, she’s completely released from her enslaved state.
This useless woman, aaah!!
“Emi!! Jump into the river and die!!”
“What!? Hideyori, you!?”
“No, I mean… why would you…?”
Emi’s body plunged into the river.
She remained face down in the water.
Struggling, struggling, struggling.
But her body doesn’t resurface.
“Damn, so touching me is the end of it. The gift doesn’t stop working, huh…”
He then flees with Risa.
“Like I’d let youuu!”
“Thud!?”
Takeru pounces on him from above.
His body becomes immobile.
“Risa!? Take out Takeru…”
“Die!”
“…!?”
Takeru’s violence repeatedly crashes into his face.
Over and over, over and over…
“He’s already dead, big brother…”
“Huff, huff, huff…”
Emi, and Hideyori, the root of all evil, died…
“Hey… we were best friends, weren’t we… why… why did it come to thisssssss?!”
The boy’s anger echoed throughout the riverbank.
The feelings of regret resonated, on and on and on…
—
*Sigh…*
Last night’s dream was about Risa’s happy ending in the original work.
It’s known as the forbidden love route.
Such a hopeless ending, it was distressing.
“Maybe it’s because I met the Jumonji siblings…”
If it’s a BAD END, after Emi’s death, Hideyori takes Risa and flees, and Takeru fails to catch them.
The next day, Risa is found dead.
Well, in the epilogue, Hideyori gets killed by Takeru too…
“But really, looking back at Hideyori’s character, he’s seriously messed up eeeeeek!!!! aaahhh!!!”
And Emi’s death is handled so crudely too.
I wish the branching would at least happen before Emi dies.
Having gotten involved with Emi, I found myself empathizing with her…
