My stepsister who says go die go die to me every day, tries to hypnotize me to fall for her while I was sleeping…! Chapter 2 Episode 8

Published 2021.04.19

「Thank you very much~」

While expressing my gratitude in a high-pitched voice, I saw off the fan who had arrived at the signing table.

It had been quite a while since the signing session started but Shizuku still hadn’t shown up.

「Is she really coming…?」

With a dubious look on her face, Yoshizawa-san glanced sideways at me.

If you think about it honestly, a beautiful stepsister who tries to hypnotize a plain high school boy like me into falling in love with her is kind of a arare heroine that even in the realm of creative writing, would be too convenient to be avoided.

The fans who were showing up to the autographing session were leaving one after another, looking satisfied, and Yoshizawa-san must’ve felt pretty uneasy seeing the situation where the next one arriving would probably be the last one.

Honestly, I’m wondering if such a sultry hypnotic heroine could ever actually.. exist

「Don’t worry, she’ll come」

I’m afraid to say, it’s really, really, unfortunate that it… actually exists.

「The next person, will be the last one」

The staff member said through the gap of the dividers.

Shizuku, my stepsister, will 100% never fail to disappoint my expectations (the bad ones)…!

I faced my head down, hiding my face with my bangs again, and stared upwards at the end of the dividers.

She’ll be here!

I heard a familiar sound of heels: clack, clack, clack

「……っ」

Yoshizawa-san rolled her eyes and gulped

I suppose I can’t blame you for that reaction.

My stepsister, who is arguably the most beautiful girl of the century, appeared from beyond the dividers.

She has lustrous black hair, a beautiful face, and everything is perfect from her style to her sense of fashion. Almost too beautiful, and well organized that she even looks a bit formidable/fierce.

「Yoshizawa-san, she’s my stepsister」

I whispered as I poked Yoshizawa-san’s thin legs with my knee.

「Stop being delusional」

Yoshizawa-san cut my words in half without hesitation. Well, it is usually pretty hard to believe….

「No, I’m telling the truth」

Shizuku came to the separated area where I was, walking gracefully like a model.

My heart was racing. Even without putting my hand towards it, I could hear the sound of it beating.

「……っ」

If I feel vulnerable, my usual habitual gestures will come out. If there’s even a small opening, Shizuku will find it and figure out who I am.

It was easy to imagine the hellish torments that awaited me if I got seen through.

Right now, I’m a beautiful female light novel author.

I told my brain that, and sharpened my nerves from the tip of my wig to my toes.

All my romantic comedy heroines that I’ve written so far… manifest in my body….!

「H-hello there~! Thank you for coming to my autographing session today!~」

I greeted her with my alternative voice, and paid close attention.

A soft smile, a lovely tone of voice, and not forgetting the adorable little tilt of my head.

It was perfect to say the least.

I was now, for all intents and purposes, a beautiful female author.

「…………」

Shizuku silently stared at me, mirroring my perfection.

　……I couldn’t at all predict how she was going to react.

But, no matter how she behaved, I had to avoid losing my expression.

I made myself smile, ever more determined.

「U-um.. I’ll sign your book」

I reached out to take the book that Shizuku held so dearly to her chest.

However, Shizuku continued to stare at me with her jewel-like eyes rolled up.

My stepsister then suddenly opened her mouth and started spouting off some obscure lines.

「This smell」

「……huh?」

「I can smell it」

「……」

Smell? What do you mean?

The room, which has been divided into separate sections doesn’t really have any particular special smell, except the smell of new books.

「Ummm… What do you mean?」

It’s a bit risky to ask questions and extend the conversation here, but it can’t be helped.

If I tried to take her book and sign it quickly, sending her home early, she would get suspicious.

The only move I have to make right now is to play the role of a perfect female romance writer.

All I have to do is behave normally, and act naturally.

While Shizuku listened to my question, which was as deep as the Mariana Trench, she walked up to me with a tsk tsk, without saying a word.

(TLN: no so sure bout that chief)

The next thing I knew, she grabbed me by the collar of my dress and put her nose to my neck.

「Ehh…! Wait..!」

「Do not move」

Tension raced through my body.

The movement was so sudden that even Yoshizawa-san next to me was taken aback.

Shizuku made a sniff sniff sound.

And then.

「You… smell just like onii-chan…」

Her eyes darkened as she muttered a line that sent chills down my spine.
