00:00Ah
00:02Good
00:04Good morning, bro
00:06Good morning, my dear sister. My name is Kay Yamada a first-year university student
00:13This is my daily life
00:16Isn't your reaction a bit weak?
00:18When you greet mornings like this for many years people get used to it
00:24At first your reactions were better
00:27This girl is my sister Erica a high school third-year student even from a brother's perspective
00:33She's unbelievably beautiful
00:36She has a good figure a bright personality and she must be quite popular at school
00:42normally, there might be a flutter or two, but
00:45You know, we're step-siblings, right?
00:48Normally, it's such a cute girl like me hugs you. Shouldn't you react more?
00:54Even if it's just by law, we're still siblings, so I won't get excited
01:00As Erica says we became step-siblings ten years ago
01:05Back when we were still in elementary school Erica's parents passed away in an accident
01:10It happened right after her working parents had met up on their way home
01:15Due to this with no other relatives
01:18Erica became an orphan
01:20Since our parents were close friends with a long-standing relationship our family, of course attended the funeral
01:29Erica
01:37No, Erica, you're not alone
01:39I
01:48Hear let's be a family you and me
01:52Dad I want to be a family with Erica. I don't want to leave Erica alone. No matter what happens. I'll be on Erica's side
02:00I
02:03Too wanted to become a family if Erica was okay with it. We can't leave the legacy of our dear friends alone
02:10What do you think Erica?
02:15And so I and Erica became a family
02:19Since that day I've made an effort to behave as an exemplary older brother to Erica making sure she doesn't feel lonely
02:27From now on I'm your big brother. I'll protect you Erica
02:34And before we knew it time flew by Erica celebrated her 18th birthday
02:41we had a joyful birthday party as a family, but
02:44She asked me to come to her room formally. I wonder what she needs. I gave her the present properly
02:51So it can't be about that
02:55I
02:56was happy, but
02:58There's actually something I really want
03:01What is it?
03:03Could it be that what I researched and prepared isn't what she truly wanted?
03:07All right, tell me what you want and your big brother will get it for you

03:49What was that just now
03:51Wanting me or liking me liking that's like not love, right
03:58Why did she suddenly say something like that
04:02Well, more importantly, is it going to be okay with mom and dad not being here from tomorrow?
04:08They said something about a trip for their anniversary, but I'm worried. I
04:13Hope nothing happens

04:24Good morning. Are you awake?

07:53I have a reason to keep my brother healthy
07:57What reason is that?
07:59If you're going to marry me, I want you to live a long life
08:03What's the real reason?
08:05To burn every inch of my brother's body into my memory and wash it thoroughly if I get lucky
08:12Goodbye
08:15And
08:17Thus the intense affection from Erica continues no matter how much she approaches
08:22I can only see Erica as my little sister
08:25It's true that it makes my heart race, but surely this is a misunderstanding
08:30We are family and so before I knew it the day when our parents would return had arrived
08:37That Erica she's too enthusiastic just because mom and dad are coming back tonight
08:42Maybe it's because she stayed up late thinking about the menu that she's still not up by the afternoon
08:48Erica are you awake? Come on? It's about time to get up
08:53Uh-huh
08:54Well, I can't help it. It's awkward, but I'll go into her room and wake her up
09:00Erica are you up?
09:02What's this the recipe for today?
09:06Thinking about dad and mom's health using seasonal ingredients for Japanese cuisine, huh?
09:11She really worked hard thinking about this
09:14Erica is truly diligent. I respect
09:18Huh?
09:19What's this a brochure
09:22There are brochures from various schools
09:25Right. She's already a third-year student
09:28Considering the future there are various choices
09:32Huh?
09:33study abroad a
09:35long-term study abroad in France
09:38Top performing students at admission are given priority for a one-year study abroad
09:43That Erica she was thinking about studying abroad if she decides to take the entrance exam here
09:51Being a part for a whole year
09:53Huh? Why am I feeling so shocked if my sister can study abroad?
09:58That should be something to be happy about is it because being apart is lonely
10:04But for the sake of her dreams, shouldn't I be encouraging her? Why am I even thinking about wanting her to not go?
10:11What's with these feelings this isn't like me as her brother no, I need to cool my head for now
10:19On that night after our parents returned we enjoyed Erica's home-cooked meal and once again, I was called to Erica's room
10:28What is she going to talk about?
10:30Could it be about consulting me on studying abroad if that's the case. I need to give her solid support
10:36um
10:37Erica about what you wanted to talk
10:41Hey, you know, I really do. Love you. I
10:47Tried my best to appeal to you seriously, so I
10:51Don't want to be just a stepsister. I want to be your bride Kay
10:56Erica, I'm serious
10:59It's not a joke
11:02Okay, please understand my feelings
11:05Honestly, I'm really happy about Erica's feelings
11:09surely the pounding in my chest is the same feeling as Erica's but
11:14That's still not possible
11:17Why?
11:19Didn't my sincerity come through during this past week?
11:22I turned 18 and I tried my best to be seen as an adult or maybe
11:28Am I still not good enough?
11:30It's not that you're not good enough. I
11:33Want to watch over you as your brother Erica
11:36Why
11:38Why are you so stubborn about being a brother?
11:41It's because you were crying Erica
11:45Huh?
11:46What do you mean on the day of the funeral? You said I don't want to be alone without a family and you were crying
11:55So no matter what happens. I want to be a family that never separates. I know it's my ego, but I made a promise
12:02I will never leave your side. We'll stay as a family
12:07Okay
12:08I'm really happy about how you feel. I understand that you're thinking and acting for my sake
12:15Hey, okay
12:17Don't you remember that thing that thing?
12:21I see. I guess only I remember it
12:25Erica I knew it
12:28Somehow you don't remember it Erica. What are you talking about? If I've forgotten something tell me properly
12:37Whatever. I don't need you. Wait, Erica
12:41What is that thing? You're talking about? I really can't remember. Is there something that could be a hint? Ah
12:50That's a photo taken with Erica's parents and everyone that's so nostalgic
12:54We used to play a lot on this hill when we were small didn't we there are so many memories on this hill memories
13:06What's wrong
13:13Thank you, I love you too Erica
13:17Will you stay with me forever
13:20Will you marry me?
13:22Of course
13:28Promise if we get married we'll always be together
13:33Yeah, always together
13:36And you know two people who love each other will never be apart
13:41Never apart in that case. We're family, right?
13:47That's right. We're a family
13:49Ah
13:52Yes, I remembered I made a promise to marry Erica
13:56But it was something from the past and I completely forgot until now
14:00Even so I kept saying things like because I'm your brother or because you're my sister
14:06If Erica remembered that promise, what kind of feelings has she been harboring until now?
14:11And I actually love Erica, but I I've been too fixated on being family
14:18What have I been doing? Sorry Erica, I'm coming now
14:24Erica
14:27Why are you here I
14:29Remembered the place where we promised to get married right here. We promised to be a family forever. Didn't we you remembered?
14:38but
14:39It's too late
14:41Because you only think of me as your little sister, right in that case a promise of marriage means nothing
14:49Even if I make wishes
14:51It's meaningless
14:53What am I doing?
14:55Erica, where are you going?
14:57Just leave me alone
14:59Don't make me more miserable
15:02please
15:04Just leave me alone. I can't do that
15:08You
15:10Are really kind, huh?
15:13You can't do that
15:15Because I'm your sister. That's right because you're my precious sister and the person I love the person you love as
15:23a sister
15:24Right as a sister and as a woman. I love you
15:30Huh?
15:31What does that mean? I kept telling myself that you're my little sister
15:37Because becoming a family that's not allowed right? I pledged to always be by your side
15:42I thought falling in love wasn't allowed. So I desperately averted my eyes
15:48But I realized it was cowardly not to face you head-on
15:51Hey
15:53I'm sorry, Erica for everything until now. I also love you as a woman not just as my sister
16:02Wait
16:03What's wrong? I?
16:05Do want to be your boyfriend right away, but I assume you're thinking about studying abroad, right?
16:11So I want to wait until you come back from studying abroad to become a couple
16:16I don't want to be a burden or a hindrance to you Erica. I'll also work hard while you're abroad
16:22Becoming the man you deserve
16:24so
16:26Hey stop
16:28What's wrong?
16:30Listen, what are you misunderstanding?
16:32I'm not going to study abroad
16:36Wait a moment. You're not going huh?
16:39Yeah, I'm not going
16:42But there's a brochure for studying in France on the desk. I
16:46Was just collecting information from various schools
16:50Isn't it better to have many options?
16:53Besides my desired field of study is Japanese cuisine
16:57You know, I'm studying Japanese cuisine, right?
17:01Yeah, that's true
17:03So you're really not going to study abroad that's right
17:07Thank goodness
17:09Did you think I was going to study abroad?
17:12well
17:15You're surprisingly clumsy it's because it's about you I wasn't paying attention to my surroundings
17:22hmm, and then I'm not studying abroad, but
17:28When will we become a couple?
17:30Can we tell to mom and dad first?
17:34All right, let's go and tell them now my dear brother
17:39And so Erica and I became a couple with the same courage
17:44I used to confess we properly reported it to mom and dad
17:48They accepted us saying there was no problem as long as we were happy
17:52In fact, they even said we thought you two were already dating. It seems Erica's affection was quite obvious to them
18:00After that Erica successfully entered the culinary school
18:03She wanted to attend I on the other hand got a job at a company that develops cooking utensils after graduating from college
18:11I wanted to support Erica from a different place
18:15And a few years later
18:20You use it like this
18:23Look
18:26You did it well great job as expected it's a cooking utensil made by you
18:32I'm happy to be praised by a professional chef like you
18:43Yes, let's make delicious food for daddy
18:52Watching my channel, I'm super happy if you watch the next and other videos, too
