I've Been Found Out (2)

I explained the whole story to my sister after she had dropped Selena off. Thankfully she neither dumped the tea she'd brewed over my head nor grabbed me by the hair.

She simply glared at me with a cold, expressionless face.

"Haaah."

"Sorry, Noona. For breaking the rules."

"It's fine. You're an adult now."

"Since I'm the one at fault, don't come down too hard on Selena."

"Whatever. So if I sum up what you just said, the two of you fell for each other at first sight?"

"If we're being completely honest."

Yuhwa-noona is not an Ability User. She is simply that intelligent, on the level of one. Our parents always said her Super Intelligence had manifested, but knowing this is a game world, I can state it with certainty.

Yuhwa-noona is an NPC from the weekday dungeons. Not a playable character. The reason is mentioned only briefly in the story: as a non-Ability User she cannot be dispatched on missions.

But her talent as a mechanic is extraordinary, so she entered Celestia Academy through a special admission track.

If Chairman Metis's Super Intelligence specializes in calculation, then my sister Yuhwa's Super Intelligence specializes in analysis. Lying to her or concealing the truth was therefore next to impossible.

She had probably already noticed that my behavior was suspicious. Her powers of deduction were easily on par with Sherlock Holmes.

"Your favorite character?"

"Yeah."

I explained why I had aimed for Celestia Academy. That my favorite character was there, and that I had wanted to save her.

At first she wore an expression that said she could not understand. Because I had devoted myself entirely to studying so I could become a teacher, she had never seen me cheer for any active student.

But that was not the part Noona latched onto.

"Save her, huh. Now it finally makes sense."

"What does?"

"Huuu. You... you're not from this world after all, are you?"

Looking into those detached eyes, I thought my heart would stop.

"Judging by your reaction, that seems to be the correct answer."

"No, that's—"

"The year you turned five. May 16th, 4:13:57 in the afternoon. You began displaying abnormal behavior different from usual."

"Ah."

A moment I barely remember now. The moment I possessed this body and regressed into this world, wasn't it?

"You were my little brother, yet you stopped being my little brother. You were possessed, right?"

"That's—"

"There's more than enough evidence that you're a being from another world. You sometimes use words that don't even exist in this one."

"How do you know that?"

"Wiretapping."

"Wiretapping!?"

Yuhwa-noona calmly stood, went into her room, and returned with something. A tablet PC she used for work.

"Here. Look."

"What's this?"

"A system that reports your physical condition to me in real time."

"Is that why you came home?"

"Yes."

Her expression and emotions still showed not the slightest ripple. With elegant flicks of her fingers she switched the screen and showed me several photos from when we were small.

Me as a baby sitting blankly while Noona hugged me tightly. The two of us riding a swing together, looking close. Me hanging onto Noona's leg with a grumpy face.

And me receiving an injection from ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠Noona.

"Ah!"

That was the reason I had grown afraid of her, and also the baseline from which she could read every single one of my actions so uncannily.

"I injected nano-robots into your body."

"For real?"

"I never lie to you."

"This is suddenly making me feel weird."

"I made them for you. When you were twelve. Praise me."

"Uh? Uh. Amazing."

She suddenly grinned—like someone who had finally gotten the chance to kill her parents' enemy.

"The reason I developed them was to expose your true identity."

"Expose? Why?"

"Because you might have been a bad alien who kidnapped my precious little brother."

"Ah~ so that's why you used to pull my cheeks? Thinking it was fake skin?"

"No. That was just because you were cute."

"What."

She moved naturally and sat right beside me. She had always kept a careful distance as if suspicious; this was the first time she had pressed this close since we were children.

Even though she was my sister, she smelled good, and her incredibly soft flesh brushed lightly against my body.

"To cut to the conclusion. You were not my little brother, and at the same time you were my little brother. Still the most precious thing in the world. My little brother."

"Yes."

"It's certain the old little brother disappeared. But you stayed as my little brother. And I thought of that you as my little brother too."

"Thanks, Noona. For always treating me so well."

"Well, because I love you."

"Ah, right."

Noona suddenly shoved me. I toppled onto the sofa and she ended up on top of me.

"The fact that you're not my real little brother was actually convenient. Mentally, we're complete strangers, aren't we?"

"Now that you mention it..."

"If we prove that, Mom and Dad will give us permission."

"Huh? For what?"

"Marriage."

"Eeeeh?"

"Step by step. I was building a future with you."

She licked her lips seductively and undid the buttons of her white shirt one by one. Fair skin and black underwear that radiated mature allure came into view.

"Selena. That thieving cat."

"Thieving cat?"

"She ruined our plans."

With a grumpy face she puffed out both cheeks. I had never seen her look like this before.

Like Cheese acting spoiled, she flopped straight onto my chest. She carefully tickled my sides and arms with her fingers.

Her sharp jawline poked into my chest. The gaze that stared straight into me made my breath catch in my throat.

Just like Puss in Boots.

"I liked you first."

"Wait—when you said you love me, you meant it like that??"

"Yes. You love me too, don't you?"

"Well, as family."

Her gloomy eyes instantly turned sharp.

While I was frozen in shock, Noona took a ballpoint pen from her bosom. Click. She pressed the button.

I glanced blankly at her. As if asking whether I had not heard, she pressed the button again.

"You too."

Click. Click. Click. Click. Click.

"You like me."

"This is... just kids who didn't know any better."

"Then how are you going to take responsibility for this heart?"

"Huh?"

"You made me like this."

She shifted so that my nose was buried in her cleavage. A sweet scent of skin and piercingly soft flesh enveloped my face.

"Um. Please calm down for a moment."

"Listen carefully. When I'm with you—"

I suddenly understood.

Why she had rented this villa. Why she didn't simply live somewhere closer to the research institute.

Every time I asked, Noona had only said she liked it here.

The moment I became a teacher she had been the first to call and suggest we live together. I had just been looking for a place near the Academy, so I had run over like a dog.

Don't tell me this was—

"My heart pounds this much♡"

"Mmph? Mmmph?"

"I like you. I like you. I like you. Sion♡"

"Mmph!?"

"It's a little earlier than planned, but let's do it right now♡ If we have a child, Mom and Dad won't be able to object."

Bzzz— Bzzz—

"Hello?"

I picked up the phone from the table. The woman's voice that came through faintly was quite urgent.

Noona's expression visibly stiffened. She answered, "Yeah, I'll be there," then rose to her feet.

The cold gaze looking down at me. I had always thought I could never understand what went on inside Noona's head.

But the fact that she had always looked at me with those eyes—

"Noona's going to work."

"Yeah."

"We'll continue after I get back."

"No no no. We're siblings!"

"So what? Mentally we're strangers anyway."

"Even so."

"Don't worry, Sion. Noona will take responsibility♡"

Why does she smile so naturally at times like this?

She's ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠beautiful to begin with, but that fatal smile froze my body in surprise. She is truly pretty when she smiles.

The problem is she rarely shows that smile to anyone. Even as her little brother, today made it only the third? Fourth? time.

Yuhwa-noona fixed her clothes and left with a light, swaying walk.

"This is incest!!!!"

I could only scream after she was gone. Looks like I'll be sleeping in the office for a while.

My head hurts. The reason she had been so affectionate was because she liked me as a man.

The image I had of Noona completely shattered. Come to think of it, there were things that suddenly made sense.

Things only a little-brother complex could make possible. Why hadn't I noticed?

Knock knock.

"Yes, come in."

I quickly fixed my posture and glanced toward the doorway. The person who arrived first thing Monday morning was Selena.

I had been curious what I could do with it, but seeing Selena awkwardly bow her head made me understand with absolute clarity.

What had previously shown only the Affection System now displayed level, grade, stats, and more. Seeing her full skill set as well left me momentarily stunned.

Especially the phrase that promotion was possible caught my eye. As I blankly stared at the sparkling light above her head, Selena hesitantly spoke up.

"Is there something on my face?"

"Huh!? No. Nothing."

"Ahem... I came to apologize."

"Apologize? I'm the one who should be doing that. I was rough with your body."

"Yes. I was so exhausted I slept the entire day yesterday."

"Really??"

"But... it felt good. And I was able to sleep soundly."

Her face flushed crimson as she swayed her hips lightly. The ample flesh of her thighs rubbing together drew the eye in a strangely compelling way.

"Ahem. Still, from now on I'll be careful not to lose my reason."

Looking at this walking piece of erotic material, could I really hold back? Selena was a character I had often relied on when I was lonely in my previous life. And I had done everything I ever wanted to do to that Selena.

I was so glad she hadn't been disappointed or reported me.

She smiled shyly and brushed her hair back. She seemed to have something she wanted to say.

"Did I... satisfy Teacher Sion?"

"Huh??"

"Please be honest with me."

"I think it was good."

I quietly turned my body away. I didn't want to see Selena's reaction. This made me feel like a terrible person who had cunningly seduced her just to go after her body.

"When you're pent up... please contact me. Like... as if I'm consulting with Teacher Sion."

"I can't do that."

"I... didn't ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠dislike it either. This morning too, I masturbated while thinking about Teacher Sion's cock♡"

"What."

"I've warmed up Teacher Sion's personal cock-sleeve♡ How do you like it?"
