Akuyaku Reijou ni Nanka Narimasen - Chapter 398.2 (Patreon)

Rinka’s dark history.
“Listen here, Niisan. If things could be solved with apology, we wouldn’t have the need for the police. Rinka hasn't cried this much since my sister-in-law passed away. Rinka was in that much pain.”

“Yes…”

“Umm, Rin Neechan…”

“Be quiet, Rinka.”

“Yes…”

For some reason, I sat upright next to Tousan, too. Somehow.

“Listen to me, okay? It is painful to live with strangers. Everything is fine for you, Niisan. You are with the woman you like. And you are only there at night. But Rinka is different. It might have been different if they had a relationship of some extent beforehand, but she has to adjust to a stranger who appeared out of nowhere. They are together 24/7, and on top of that, the other party has unreservedly trashed Rinka's territory. I rather admire her for not losing her temper until now.”

“...... Yes.”

Tousan hung his head down. I can't argue with that, either. We just didn't communicate well, and I mean it.

“That being the case, Rinka will live with me from now on.”

“”Huh?””

“I will have you submit a revised plan of your family’s relationship. I'm going to cut off any plan that is not concrete or not feasible. Then, I have no further use for you, so please go home."

“...... Rinka—”Go home.”

Tousan couldn’t beat Rin Neechan.

Tousan’s first proposal was flatly rejected.

“It’s not realistic, isn’t it?”

“Can you really do it?”

“No way in hell.”

“Niisan, are you stupid?”

“Rejected.

Rin Neechan’s refusals were getting more and more blunt.

But to be honest, living with Rin Neechan was fun, and I was happy.

It was a year later that Rin Neechan finally gave her approval for the plan. And then, Rin Neechan passed away.

“To think I would be living with Rosarin-chan over here, too.”

“... I see. I’m sure you didn’t want to talk about this, right? Why did you tell me?”

“Because you said I was beautiful… I guess? I have also hurt someone or made mistakes when things didn't go well. We're on different scales, but we're the same.”

“... Yeah.”

“In the end, I have not been able to completely reconcile with my parents. Rin Neechan's lawyer left me a will from her that gave me her apartment and all her property, and I continued to live at her house after that. We had a better relationship than at first... and we talked about it.”

“... I see. So you did your best.”

“I tried. I promised my sister Rin Neechan that I would do it. Rin Neechan said she will be on my side no matter what, and told me to make sure I have no regrets.”

Lavi-kun gently stroked my head. I'm so happy, I couldn’t help but smile. Really… I just realized I was unconsciously nervous because I didn't want to talk about it if possible.

“I wonder if I can do it, too?”

“You can. If you really want, I will be on your side!”

I did not as what. If he wants to move forward, I will be on his side. Just like Rin Neechan was on my side.

“... Thank you, Rinka.”

He pulled me into his arms and kissed my forehe……… eh?

He kissed my foreheeeeead!?

“Rinka!?”

I, Watase Rinka, had fainted. But I have no regrets in my rotten life!!

Lavi-kun had apparently carried me home, because when I woke up, I was in the Gopri room.

It wasn’t some kind of dream, was it!? Needless to say, I was worried.
