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 9

Published 2021.04.19

「You smell just like onii-chan」

When Shizuku said that word, my body stiffened as if I were tied up.

Smell……?!

How is that even possible….?!

When it came to cross-dressing, I was at such a high level that I even had Yoshizawa-san’s approval. But, as for the smell?

I had no idea what I smell like, but my body odor has hardly changed, except perhaps a faint scent of cosmetics.

Shizuku poked at that small opening, like a hole in a needle.

No, but that’s not normal…!

The distance between where Shizuku was standing and the long desk where I was sitting was more than two meters.

How was it even possible to discern a scent at such a long distance…?!

「Hey…. Why do I smell onii-chan on you? Answer me…」

Shizuku muttered, casting off the sharp highlights in her eyes.

Out of seemingly nowhere, she pulled out a high-revving hole saw. It squealed at a rate of 3000 revolutions per second, as if it needed to punch a hole somewhere just to make it feel better.

I don’t know if I can do this anymore.

Even though Shizuku’s sense of smell was unexpected, the only fact that I knew for sure was that my carefully prepared disguise as a woman could be easily detected by the mere act of sniffing.

It’s over…

My brain was filled with those two words.

Now that my true identity has been exposed, there’s no excuse.

I’ll have to live the rest of my life… being branded as a pervert who dresses up as a woman and performs at his own book signings….

As I was despairing over the hypnotic ordeal that was about to take place, Yoshizawa-san quietly opened her mouth.

「Are you, by any chance, Ichigaya-kun’s sister?」

「…That’s correct」

Shizuku glared at Yoshizawa-san.

A great battle begins between an editor who has no soul and a quick mouth to my works, and a pile-bunker type stepsister who tries to make her own brother fall for her through hypnosis.

To put it simply, I would like to evacuate right now.

「I didn’t know you were a fan of Kataimo. You never know, do you?」

「….I don’t care about that. Now explain to me why this female smells like onii-chan」

「Well, It can’t be helped now. Don’t be so hasty, I’ll explain exactly what’s going on」

Despite the fact that we had been hit with a fatal blow, Yoshizawa-san seemed confident.

…No way! Is there a chance that we can make a big comeback from here…!?

I choked up a cough and stared at my venomous editor, who’s incredibly talented at tricking and manipulating people into doing her bidding.

「Well… as you may have guessed. It’s no exaggeration to say that Ichino-sensei here has a very close relationship with your brother,  Ichigaya Aoto」

「Hey hold on, what are you talking about?」

「I knew it….」

「Eh… Ah… what…?」

I couldn’t help but jab my head at the editor for saying something crazy. However, Shziuku completely ignored me and affirmed Yoshizawa-san’s confessions without pause.

「So that’s why onii-chan wouldn’t let me see this woman…. That’s why this woman smells like onii-chan…. That’s what it as all about….」

Shizuku muttered to herself.

With that line, we’ve probably touched some of the misguided fantasies that were developing in her brain.

Shizuku probably thinks that I, dressed in women’s clothing, am my own girlfriend or something, not cross-dressing.

「The hypnosis I placed on onii-chan was the order that he would 『Love me more than anything else』… which means, he would die to hide anything that would make me hate him….Like cheating…. cheating… cheating… right?…hey..?」

My pile-bunker stepsister, who’s been tempered to the point of muttering about the hypnosis, something that must be kept absolutely secret, was now pushing her hole saw, rotating at high speed, against the long desk where I was sitting at, as if it were a chance to demonstrate her abilities.

「Hiya!!?!」

Giiiiiiiii!!!!! With a loud noise and scattering wood shavings around, she made a hole with a radius of about 1.5 cm.

The smell of the burnt wood from friction enveloped the autographing venue.

Yoshizawa-san stopped the staff rushing to the scene with one hand and opened her mouth. 

「….Hmm. You are mistaken about one thing Shizuku-san」

「Mistaken…?」

「Right. I don’t deny that Ichino-sensei and Ichigaya-kun have a strong relationship, but it doesn’t mean that they have  physical or romantic relationship」

Yoshizawa-san continued with any hesitation.

I’ve never seen anyone who could lie so effortlessly without changing their expression.

「Then… what the hell is the relationship between this woman and onii-chan….!?」

After taking a breath, the smug editor said, just like a scene from a crime drama.

「Shizuk-san’s onii-chan, Ichigaya Aoto, is….. The interviewee of Ichino-sensei, the author of Kataimo」

「「Huh…..??」」

Shizuku and I were both stunned.

「Isn’t that right, Ichino-sensei?」

「Eh…ah…Yes!?」

As I was stumbling around, still unaware of the intent of my previous line, I felt a sharp pain in my toe.

It was probably a heel or something that stepped on my toe as hard as it could.

When I looked at Yoshizawa-san’s face, she was staring at me with an angelic smile on her face.

Despite the fact that under the long desk, she’s stabbing my foot with enough force of being able to pierce through… this expression… is no less than those evil demons in hell. I really hope you go to hell…. No, I just want to go home.

(TLN: sorry i can’t really do this paragraph correctly, but I think it sounds ok)

「E-eh…. Eh.. Of course, that’s right… ehehe…」

I replied with a desperately fake smile on my face.

「Interviewee….? What the hell does that mean?」

「It’s exactly what it means. Ichino-sensei, the author of Kataimo, was interviewing Ichigaya-kun, who has a real life, super beautiful stepsister, for her own writing project. Shizuku-san, you’re famous, not only in your school but also in the city and the prefecture. When we heard through the rumours that you had a stepbrother, we thought that we could create a more realistic novel by interviewing Ichigaya-kun」

Shizuku listened to Yoshizawa-san’s cynical lines.

I mean, how can you come up with such a made-up story so fast?

「Well then… these holy script—…no, I mean… the story in Kataimo was modeled after onii-chan and I?」

「Yes, that is correct」

My hypnotic stepsister seemed almost completely convinced by the brief and elaborate setup.

「What percent of it….?」

「I’d say almost all of it」

「Then…then…!! When the brother in the story got so drunk after eating chocolate with alcohol in it, he then soaked his stepsister’s panties in fresh water, chugging it down, saying『Green striped panties and water… is this real green tea…』because he loved her so much…!!」

(TLN: wtf LOL)

「That was the description based on Ichigaya-kun’s experience」

「Fuahhh!??!」

A strange voice escaped me from the unexpected psychological attack.

Crap…! If I don’t do this, they’re going to assume that I was fantasizing about all the perverted descriptions in my work in real life….!

「No, Yoshizawa-san, that’s not quite right…..」

「……」

Yoshizawa-sna stared at me in silence.

「Are you sure?」

She replied with those few words.

I’m not so insensitive that I wouldn’t understand the meaning of those words. If I denied the setting of the interview here, I wouldn’t be able to fool Shizuku anymore. In other words, this is what Yoshizawa-san was trying to say: 『You can deny it all you want, but in the meantime, she’ll see through your cross-dressing and know that you aren’t hypnotized right now (*big smile*)』

「…Y-yes, that’s right. I interviewed Ichigaya-kun and used his experiences and fantasies to write Kataimo….」

I replied, hiding my crying face with my bangs.

Do whatever you want….!

I’d already given up on Yoshizawa-san’s usual psychological control, not letting me live or die.

「Also, the brother in the story who loves his stepsister so much that he wonders if he should put her used toothbrush in his mouth, and then proceeds to dip the toothbrush in tea and drink it…!!」

「That was Ichigaya-kun’s experience」

「Ggahhh!!!!!」

「And also the scene where the brother loves her stepsister so much that he tried to beat up the yankee who confessed to her and got beaten up instead….!!!!」

「That was Ichigaya-kun’s experience」

「Agahhh!!!!」

「The older brother who loves her stepsister so much that he crawls into her futon and smells her hair….!!!!」

「That was Ichigaya-kun’s experience」

「Hagghh!!!」

I was in a daze, fading in and out of consciousness due to the tremendous mental assault of the protagonist’s freakish behaviors as something I’d do in real life.

Please, just kill me already…..!!!!

I can’t take it anymore…..!!!

I looked at Yoshizawa-san with a pained face, and she was ministering to Shizuku’s words with the biggest smile on her face that I’d ever seen.

I can tell. This fucking editor, she’s enjoying herself deep down….!!!!

「So to sum it up, the reason you smelled Ichigaya-kun from Ichino-sensei was because we had a meeting about her new work just a while ago」

「Oh… so maybe that’s why onii-chan didn’t come out after saying he was going to the bathroom..」

「I don’t know what he’s going through right now, but I don’t think he could bring himself to say it because he probably thought you would hate him if you knew he was harboring an unusual level of love for his own stepsister as an older brother. Please forgive him」

Shizuku’s cheeks turned a bright shade of red as she casted her head down.

「S-so that’s why he resisted my hypnosis and insisted on not letting me go to the book signing…..Really…! You’re such a siscon onii-chan…!!!」

From the lines she whispered, it seems that the troubles of this double-booked autographing session will finally come to an end.

It has prevented me from being exposed, gives me another reason to resist her hypnosis, and not lower Shizuku’s impression of hypnotizing me.

 Except for the fact that my mental health has been severely damaged, it really has been an ideal development.

Yoshizawa-san, the devilish editor.

If that attack on my mental health has been part of your plan all along, it’s working better than I had expected. Seriously, hurry up and go back to hell.

「U-um…um… I’m sorry for making such a fuss… and um…. You are always free to use onii-chan for interviews if you’d like….」

Shizuku, now in a good mood, held out the book to me while squirming cutely.

「Yes…. Thank you very much…..」

With very mixed feelings, I quickly signed the book.

My stepsister, skipping lightly and in a good mood, left with a huge smile on her face, not noticing her brother was in women’s clothing the whole time at all.
