Kazuma P.O.V
"Hey Kazuto... I'm going to Megumin's place, wanna tag along?"
"Fisit Nee-san? Yay!"
Kazuto is 3 years old now, he's 7 years younger than me who's ten, so his vocabulary is still pretty bad.
Well, that's it for my little brother... So why I want to visit Megumin's home despite the pitiful status of her family? Quit simple actually, I promised to treat to her a meal per day and I'm helping her watch over her little sister since her mother got and urgent call to work she has to attend to. Oh and Megumin is now 8 years old.
We finally arrived at Megumin's house... or should I say shack?
"Err... Nii-san? Does Nee-san liv in dis sack?"
"Sack? I guess you could call it that there's not much of a difference really."
"Err... Poor Nee-san."
"Well that's reality for her... We're not related by blood but seeing her in this pitiful state makes me want to help her..."
I knocked on the door and suddenly it rushed open.
"Ka-Kazuma Onii-chan..."
What I saw really surprised me, Megumin who's all exhausted and nearly collapsed... No,wait... SHE REALLY IS COLLAPSING!!!
"WHAT'S HAPPENING MEGUMIN!?"
Luckily I was able to catch her before she fell to the floor.
Grooooowl*
"Hungry... Also feeling sick..."
"Nii-san, is Nee-san ok?"
"She just needs food and sleep, that's all... Hopefully."
I carried Megumin to her bedroom, why I know her room? She's pointing the way so all I'm actually doing is following her finger.
"Kazuto, why don't you play with that baby you saw in the living room earlier? I need to check on Megumin's health and I don't want you to get sick too because her."
"Hey!"
"Errr... Okay Nii-san."
He looked unwilling at first but eventually he left to the living room.
I opened Megumin's door and saw a plain simple room, a bed, rack of books despite the lack of content and a lamp. Very minimal. I put down Megumin on her bed and helped her sit down.
Groooowls*
Megumin's face is all red because her hunger got to her.
"Wait a moment..."
I searched for food in my bag.
"Ah, here... For you..."
I handed her a bento box, nothing special.
"I... Can't... Move..."
"Need me to feed you?"
She's being all shy and fidgety but still nodded which probably means yes. Eh? Why are you avoiding the spoon?
"Come on! Eat already!"
"I CAN'T HELP! IT'S EMBARRASS-"
I shoved some food into Megumin's mouth as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Hmk!!!"
Er… am I too forceful?
"You're such a brute, Onii-chan..."
Even though you say that with tears in your eyes why are you opening your mouth and moving your head closer to my hand?
Oh well, she's eating aggressively now so it's all good... Time for medicine... Medicine? Does this family even have an First Aid kit?
As expected they don't have one. Maybe I'll just ask her to sleep.
"Megumin, you might need to-"
"UEEEEEEEEEEE!!"
"Ah... Ah... What I need to do Nii-san?"
Suddenly Kazuto barged in the room with a baby who is most likely Megumin's sister, Komekko. While the latter is crying the former has no idea what to do and is panicking, isn't this totally different from taking care of Megumin?
"Ah, she might be hungry... Try giving her a bottle of milk..."
Megumin said as she tried sitting down in the bed.
Megumin P.O.V
Actually I'm still embarrassed about being fed by Kazuma, I'm fine being carried around but him feeding me makes me feel like a child... Ah, how pitiful just because of some sickness even just opening the door makes me feel very tired... I feel so bad.
"Megumin, why don't you sleep for a while?"
Kazuma who is sitting beside my bed and is holding a towel over my head said such things...
"Ka-Onii-chan, why aren't you adding -chan to my name when calling me?
Why did I notice such a little thing?
"You can just call me Kazuma if you feel uncomfortable calling me Onii-chan in that state."
"Then Kazuma, why are you watching over me instead of those two?"
I looked away from Kazuma because he feels very protective today and I feel shy for some reason.
"Because your my little sister... no, maybe something different.."
"What do you mean?"
I looked directly into Kazuma's eyes.
"When we first met you were just a random stranger I helped... But now in my eyes... You're... An important friend."
"Does't Kazuma have friends in school?"
"Well, I do... But finding a true friend is very rare... That Aqua is like a delinquent... Katsuragi is somewhat... Well let's just say creepy... Dust-senpai is just an acquaintance... Only person I value as a true friend is my childhood friend Rieri... And also you Megumin..."
W-what's this? I feel very happy and overwhelmed? Kazuma sees me as a true friend? Looking back I don't really have much friends... Well there's Yunyun claiming to be my rival... And I rarely talk to my classmates to save up energy so I don't suddenly collapse... In the end I'm a really passive person, mainly focusing on studying... Even with Kazuma now, I'm still used to that lifestyle... But now I have a friend... Huh? I usually don't think about these kind of stuff, is it because I'm sick?
"T-thank you for being my friend Kazuma"
"Hmmm, what did you say? I didn't hear you because of those two."
It seem our sibling gotten to fight? Eh? Why they're fighting?
"Nothing."
"Oh well, maybe I should separate those two before things escalate to a brawl."
I don't know what's gotten into me but I immediately grabbed Kazuma's hand. He looked at me, silently asking what's up?.
"Can we be together for a while?"
I don't really know why I'm doing this, but I hid my face with my hair.
"Sure, I don't mind being together with you."
Then he flashed me a brilliant smile.
