Episode 208: The Boy’s Brain Destruction
The summer of sexual preference destruction is here!
“It’s a symbol of the season, isn’t it? ^^”
“Why would someone do such a terrible thing… Shouldn’t children be cherished treasures?”
Kame, I want that child to become stronger.
This is love.
It’s a different kind of love directed towards beautiful girls, almost a kind of affection.
“That… is this what love is? Human love is truly complicated.”
You’ll understand someday too.
When you feel like doing something for that child without any reason, that’s love.
That’s why, I want to completely break Sougo’s preferences, ^^.
I want to see the twisted and warped preferences that come after that.
“Is this really about unconditional love? To me, you just look like a sexual preference terrorist.”
It doesn’t matter how it looks from the side. Look at Sougo’s face. He’s glancing over here cutely, isn’t he?
I’m firmly holding Sougo’s hand so he doesn’t run away, but I can tell he’s sweating from nervousness.
How cute.
“If only they were Loli… ”
If that were the case, things would change.
With Loli, I’d play the role of the ideal older sister completely.
I wouldn’t destroy their preferences like this.
Like this, by destroying preferences…
“Hey, is Kei-niichan participating in the cultural festival?”
“No, I’m working behind the scenes. Our family doesn’t have the means to participate yet.”
If we did participate, Miuye would end up working super hard.
In fact, it would practically be Miuye’s presentation already.
That’s why, let’s work hard next year to participate. A lot of new students will come, right?
“The current online reputation of Factom General Academy is as an ultra-competitive school. I don’t think that many new students will come.”
Don’t worry.
We have Mizuki Senpai here!
Even Ryuuko has some effect on attracting people, so there’s no problem.
“Contrasting Mizuki treated like a prince with Solciera treated like a princess works well.”
Solciera as the princess role seems fun too.
Let’s try her out as a captured princess!
But currently, there’s no one who can capture me.
Sorry, I’m too strong.
And I can’t even imagine someone who could defeat whoever captures me.
Maybe Tourak from the later part of the original story?
“You’re still highly evaluating Tourak, aren’t you? His compatibility rate with Lutra is incredible, but I don’t think he gets that strong.”
You idiot!
Once Tourak obtains Star Slash, he becomes the strongest!
He’s the only one who can cut through Rokuhara’s invincibility!
Even Solciera’s interference can’t do it, but he can cut through it!
“Huh? I can do it if given enough time, right?”
I’m the one buying time.
I don’t have the confidence to survive against Rokuhara in his fast-moving invincible state.
“So, you’re working too…”
“Yeah, thank you. Have fun, Sougo.”
My words make Sougo nod while blushing.
Look, he’s completely infatuated.
Ah, I want to further destroy Sougo’s preferences in the countryside this summer.
“One summer memory with Solciera in her white dress!? It’s a bit too lewd!”
“? Isn’t it a pure memory with a carefree Lol Ciera around Sougo’s age? There’s nothing lewd about it.”
“Hey, stop fighting!”
It’s good that you’re trying to push through your own preferences whenever you get the chance.
However, fighting is not allowed.
Preferences are not something to impose on others.
They are something to mutually understand.
“A missionary of preferences?”
“Are these words coming from the person who destroyed Sougo’s preferences?”
I’m just giving awareness, ^^.
“By the way, where’s Onee-san today?”
“Uh… actually, I got separated.”
Haha, I see, she intentionally distanced herself to buy doujinshi.
I see right through it.
“In that case, I’ll contact her for you.”
“Eh?”
Sougo looks up at me sadly.
Fufufu, you must dislike it.
Ending this substantial date with me, the ideal older sister.
“Monster! Total bottom! You end up being reversed in the end!”
“This is too harsh, my lord. Even an angel wouldn’t go this far.”
To be criticized this much…
It’s a joke, a joke.
“Hey, didn’t you want to keep playing with me?”
“…Yes.”
“Haha, that’s right. Then, I should contact Onee-san even more.”
I crouch down to look at Sougo’s face.
“And after getting permission, let’s play to our heart’s content.”
“…! Yes!”
Sougo’s expression brightens up and he nods multiple times.
Children are easy to understand at moments like this.
Would a dog be wagging its tail right now?
“A concept of Solciera where all emotions are visible through the tail! Though verbally dismissive, the tail reveals everything clearly…!”
You’re really amazing.
No matter what I say, you connect it somehow.
“Praising won’t accomplish anything, ^^. At best, you release lewd Solciera illustrations onto the internet, ^^. ”
“Was that praise?”
This is how lewd Solciera illustrations reach us every day.
Thanks to Star Yomi.
“You two, don’t leave me behind. I can’t keep up with anything.”
Kame, you’re too slow!
Hurry up!
“That voice, isn’t that my daughter Solciera!?”
She caught up incredibly fast.
“Hahaha, you’ve sunburned so much. Make sure to wear a hat. Yeah, you’re as cute as ever. …Well, I’ll join you guys. What shall we do today?”
After catching up, she sped past us instantly.
Since touching her might pull me along too, I’ll leave her be…
“I’ll contact her then.”
“Yes.”
As I was about to operate the Dive Gear while patting Sougo’s smiling head, that moment came.
“―We’re the customers here!”
Even amidst the busy street, the angry shout was clear.
Just hearing that voice made me feel increasingly unpleasant, so I looked up.
A complainer in this city full of explorers?
Are they asking for death?
“Onee-san…”
Sougo grips my hand.
From the fact that he’s no longer calling me ‘Onii-chan’ due to his unease, it’s clear he’s not calm.
Who is scaring my precious, precious toy? ^^
“If only it were a beautiful girl, I’d make them behave nicely (deep meaning)… But otherwise, let’s hold a blood sacrifice. Let’s fire concentrated artillery attacks directly into their brain marrow, hmm?”
I didn’t say that far.
Anyway, let’s go sightseeing.
And if there’s something I can resolve, let’s resolve it while promoting Factom General Academy, hmm?
“Sure, ^^. ”
“Wait, wait. Hey, you’re going to catch them… hahaha, caught. Now it’s your turn to be the monster.”
Hey, quickly bring that trip marine creature back to their senses.
■
“Stay here, Sougo.”
Kei said calmly.
When Sougo peeked cautiously, her usually gentle expression had turned cold.
He immediately understood that this was the face she wore when working as Solciera.
“U, um”
Upon hearing Sougo’s response, Kei seemed to realize and hurriedly forced a smile.
Then, she patted Sougo’s head again.
“Don’t worry, leave it to your older brother. Despite appearances, I’m pretty strong.”
Saying this teasingly, Kei stood up and headed toward the source of the shouting.
Left alone, Sougo followed shortly after.
Purely because he was curious about how Kei would fight.
(Ah, there they are.)
Pushing through the crowd, he saw Kei.
She was standing protectively in front of a Chroma female student, facing off against several other students.
Judging by the Dive Gear on their arms, they seemed to be explorers.
“Hey, I have business with that woman! How dare you sell such small ice cream at that price!”
“But, the price is reasonable considering the materials…”
“Whaaat!? I’m in my growing years, give me more food!”
“Hiii!”
In front of the frightened female student, Kei stopped her hand and spoke calmly.
“Then, go somewhere that serves more. Like Gorgota Crepes.”
“We don’t need such excessive portions! There are limits, you know! I’ve had enough!”
The agitated explorer scratched their head.
Suddenly, one of their companions noticed something and exclaimed.
“Ah! This guy, remember him, Yuu? That man with Joka from before!”
“Eh?”
Yuu tilted their head.
Then, upon seeing Kei, they seemed to recall and shouted.
“You! You were that cocky guy from before! Because of you, we had a tough time afterward!”
“Huh?”
“Why the hell do you forget, bastard!”
Yuu stomped their feet
and immediately glared at Kei.
“Alright, I get it. First, I’ll crush you. I was pissed off, you know. I’ll kill you.”
“There’s a Rokuhara somewhere in this academy right now.”
“………I’ll take you out quickly then!”
There seemed to be considerable conflict, but Yuu repositioned themselves to fight.
Flames emerged from their hands, and they grinned mockingly at Kei.
“I’m not the same as back then. I’ve grown strong enough to take you down.”
“Is that so… Thanks for the help, but everyone, please leave this to me.”
Without meeting anyone’s gaze, Kei said this to the surrounding explorers.
Those who were ready to join in on any roughhousing stopped at his voice.
And simultaneously understood.
The caliber of this young man named Kei.
“Well, I also have someone waiting, so let’s finish this quickly.”
Saying this, Kei drew a short sword.
Seeing the plain, unadorned blade, Yuu snorted, and the companions laughed derisively.
But the wielder remained unfazed.
“You can have the first move.”
“Don’t act so smug. You only won last time because Joka and that girl were there…”
“Cut the excuses. What’s wrong, aren’t you coming? Is that pathetic flame just for show?”
“You bastard!”
Yuu’s face turned red with anger as flames enveloped their body.
Then, with tremendous acceleration, they charged at Kei.
“This time, I’ll roast you completely!”
“Go Yuu!”
“Fight hard, Yuu!”
Encouraged by their companions, Yuu rushed at Kei.
However, Kei merely sighed upon seeing this.
“I’m disappointed.”
Kei easily evaded the charging Yuu and delivered a single slash as they passed each other.
Yuu merely cried out “Ii!?” and fell forward due to their momentum.
The result of this overly simplistic battle left no room to call it combat; the flames disappeared, and Yuu lay sprawled out embarrassingly, having landed face-first.
“Compared to Mizuki Senpai, this is disrespectful.”
“Sh-shivering…”
While paralyzed by the nerve toxin, Yuu writhed as Kei looked down at them with disdain.
Then, Kei suddenly raised his short sword and slashed at something.
Looking over, there was the figure of a companion with a gun drawn.
“What did you do to Yuu!”
“What kind of loyalty is that…”
Kei muttered in exasperation while walking with his short sword in hand, as if casually taking a stroll.
“Oi, mocking me, huh!”
Seeing his posture, the companion gave in to anger and pulled the trigger.
However, Kei didn’t flinch in the slightest.
“Baka, who’s the fool here?”
Kei kept walking.
Behind him lay numerous bullets cleanly bisected.
Realizing at such close range that all the bullets were cut, the companion finally understood they had challenged a monster.
“H, hiieee!? Don’t come near me!”
“Sounds like you’re making yourself out to be the victim here.”
Kei sighed while raising his short sword and slashed at the companion.
Turning around, he also slashed the other companion who was trembling in fear and couldn’t react.
“…Weak.”
The two collapsed to the ground.
Kei looked at them and murmured with a hint of disappointment.
“You, I’ll definitely kill you!”
“You’re still able to talk like that?”
Seeing Yuu yelling defiantly despite being paralyzed, Kei seemed somewhat impressed.
Then, as he moved toward Yuu, something happened.
“―Oi, who’s making noise during the daytime?”
It was an intimidating voice.
Instantly, the students began to stir.
There was no one who didn’t recognize that voice.
The enforcers permitted independent action regardless of district.
Among them, the S-Rank known as the strongest―
“Oh, it’s Rokuhara.”
“Tch, it’s you…”
Through the parted crowd, Rokuhara appeared on the scene.
At the sight of him, the companions fainted, and Yuu started tearing up.
Even the watching students felt tense from the oppressive aura.
Yet, they couldn’t leave.
It felt like moving might mean death.
The only ones unperturbed in this situation were two people.
Kei, and Eina, Rokuhara’s partner.
“Oi~! Leader’s coming through! Hehe, leader, it feels great to have everyone make way, doesn’t it? Should we make them all bow too?”
“What nonsense. Shut up.”
Rokuhara glanced between Kei and the fallen Yuu, sighing as if understanding the situation.
“Getting involved in trouble again, huh? You’re always such a softie.”
“Same goes for you, Rokuhara, coming here after hearing the commotion. Thanks for the effort.”
“It’s work. Can’t be helped.”
Seeing Rokuhara and Kei conversing familiarly, the students were surprised.
The youth named Kei who could speak on equal terms with the S-Rank.
Soon, someone noticed and let out a gasp.
“That uniform, is it from Factom General Academy…!?”
The surprise spread.
Seeing the disturbed Kei, Rokuhara decided to wrap things up quickly.
“Anyway, we’ll take care of these three idiots. So scram already.”
“Appreciate it, thanks.”
Upon thanking Kei, Rokuhara seemed to notice something and approached.
Then, he placed his hand on Kei’s tilted head.
A different kind of surprise spread, especially among the older sisters.
“There’s soot on you. With your hair color, you stand out, you know. Check it in a mirror later.”
“Ah, yeah. Thanks. See ya.”
“Grr… Leader! Is there soot on my head too!?”
“Nah. Why would you think that?”
Having quickly wiped off the soot, Rokuhara turned his back to Kei and headed toward Yuu.
Seeing this, Kei smiled faintly and started walking.
Then, spotting Sougo looking this way through the crowd, he approached with his usual smile.
“Sorry, kept you waiting. Did I scare you?”
“Eh, yeah.”
Seeing Sougo’s unusually subdued response, Kei tilted his head.
“What’s wrong? ^^”
“N, nothing. Let’s go.”
Saying this, Sougo forcefully grabbed Kei’s hand and ran away from the scene.
“Why are you holding my hand so tightly? ^^”
“…”
Kei being pulled by a little boy.
People could only stare at their retreating backs.
