«B-Big bro… wake up, big bro, or you'll be late for school!»
A lively yet incredibly sweet female voice rings in my ears.
«Y-Yeah, just give me a second…» I slur, still half-asleep.
But my eyes snap open the moment I remember… I'm an only child!
«Stop sleeping, lazybones, or we'll be late again!» she insists — a young girl in a school uniform. Her black hair with blue highlights is tied into a small ponytail, and her bright sky-blue eyes reflect the warm dawn light.
She's straddling me, shaking my shoulders hard as she bounces on my stomach.
And who the hell is this girl? She's really cute though… it's a good thing all these blankets are between us, otherwise… well, no need to explain those… uh… "morning reactions" guys get. And on top of that… this isn't even my room — I'm sure of it!
What the fuck is happening?!
But before I can even ask who she is, a series of digital text boxes materializes out of nowhere above her head.
Name: Yuzu Shionogi
Age: 13
Role: Little sister
Height: 150 cm
Weight: 45 kg
BWH: 74 / 55 / 78
Y-Yuzu Shionogi… wait… Shionogi is my surname! Does that mean she… she's really my little sister?! N-No way, this makes no sense… could this all be a dream? I fell asleep playing an eroge last night, so having dreams like this is totally normal… I think. Though I have to admit, they've never felt this real.
Right after those mysterious writings appeared, a storm of memories floods into my mind. Countless flashbacks of us as kids, of our parents, of summer vacations at our family's beach house… memories of a life I'm sure I never lived, yet they feel so vivid, so real…
And that thing floating over her head a moment ago — what looked exactly like Yuzu's character stats… could she really… be a character in an eroge?
Yes, I've played so many in my life I could never be wrong! Not to mention the classic "sexy little sister wakes you up" cliché — a must-have in any self-respecting eroge… Yes, there's no doubt — this is officially the greatest dream of all time!
«You have three seconds to wake up, otherwise… I swear I'll choke you with my bare hands!» Yuzu continues, pouting, adorably angry.
But before even a second passes, she yanks the pillow from under my head and drops right on top of me, pressing it against my face… and that's not all!
I-I can feel it — her small, slender body rolling over me as I try to wriggle free while she playfully wrestles me.
It's only a dream, but I feel everything way too clearly… damn it!
«B-Big bro…» she murmurs, slightly embarrassed, finally giving up her "murder attempt," yet still sitting firmly on my lap.
«…w-what's this hard thing I feel pressing under my skirt?»
S-Shit! This is so embarrassing! A screw-up like this would definitely tank her Love Points!
A-Although, now that I'm living it firsthand — and now that I've gained all the memories of our life together up to this moment — doing naughty things with my little sister isn't as tempting as you'd think from the outside…
Yuzu stretches her hand downward, heading straight for the source of that mysterious hardness pressing between her thighs.
And when she grabs it…
«Oh, my phone must have slipped out of my pocket — good thing I noticed,» she snickers, letting out a long sigh of relief.
Then she throws me a sly glance, a mischievous grin spreading across her face.
«B-Big bro Takuma, what's with that worried face? Were you afraid that… I was talking about something else hard?»
«O-Of course I thought that! You're always so ambiguous about the way you say things!» I snap, red as a tomato.
Wait a second… that "always so ambiguous" just slipped out without me thinking… does that mean Yuzu always acts like this with me???
I swallow nervously.
I-It's… definitely going to be a tough cohabitation…
For now though, I don't see anything strange — no weird writings or symbols suggesting Yuzu will be one of the targets in this eroge I'm apparently dreaming my way through.
She must be an important NPC then — maybe the key to progressing through the story?
Aaaah… this game isn't giving me any clues!
I have no other choice but to rely on my infallible intuition and my glorious experience accumulated in eroge over almost a decade of honorable career!
