#Little Sister
.
Kazuma P.O.V
Today is a weekend. I'm in the city park with Megumin, my non blood related little sister. After buying ice cream we sat down on an empty bench and started eating. Megumin is 7 years old now, two years younger than me who's 9.
"Thanks for the ice cream, Onii-chan."
"You're welcome... You've been acting strange lately, did something happen?"
"Err..."
"What's wrong?"
I was waiting for Megumin's answer while eating my own ice cream.
"I have a new little sister..."
"Cough! Cough!"
I cough my ice cream because of Megumin's declaration that's so suddenly... Oh my God, I now have two little sisters.
"You can be her big brother if you want..."
Great I guess? But you alone is taking up a lot of my allowance.
"Ok, so… what do you want by telling me about it?"
"W-well... You see, I wanted some advice on how to take care of little siblings."
"So... You want my advice?"
Megumin nodded her head.
"Yeah, you handle these kinds of situation really well... I wanted to ask how to become a good big sister."
How to be a good sibling huh...
"Your little sister's still a newborn right?"
"Yeah, she was born yesterday."
A newborn huh... Hmm, I can't really think of anything though.
"Still, I don't really know what to tell you."
"Well, you see... My family lives in poverty..."
"So? What's the point?"
"I just hope she doesn't grow up like me... This dark world is very bound by a scary item called 'money', you can have everything if you have it but you'll suffer if you have none."
"Eh? What's with that rambling on end of your sentences?"
Megumin just shrug her shoulder, as if she didn't really care what she's already saying.
"Anyways, I think you know that our family is... Well, pretty poor and I don't want her experiencing the same thing like me."
"True, but as a kid you can't really do much you know? At least until we grow up and become real adult that is…"
"I know that, but I just don't want her eating rice gruel as her daily diet, heck we probably can't even afford milk. I think my little sister deserves much better than that and I want to know if there's a way to provide her that. I want her to enjoy life and not be worried about money, I want her to be free."
Actually, my family can help that but I think Megumin don't want put more trouble to me or even my family.
Okay... Let's think hard for my little sister's sake.
"I don't know if this will help but how about acting as a strong Onee-chan?"
"Strong? Are you suggesting I build up some muscles?"
"Eh? No, no, what I mean is you must appear and act strong... With your past you must have suffered a lot, you look fine on the outside but inside you must be suffering, And yet you were able to overcome them despite difficulty it has..."
I should leave her be with that for now, I mean she looks really cute when she's seriously thinking about something coupled with licking ice cream it's a divine combination. I wonder how her little sister will compare to Megumin.
Megumin P.O.V
Kazuma's advice is still ringing in my head. He suggested me acting as a strong character... But what exactly does being strong character mean? I was thinking all of this while walking with Kazuma.
"Eh? Where are we?"
Err... This is a lot of people here, where are we exactly? I tugged at Kazuma's sleeve fearing that he might disappear anytime soon.
"Oh, this is the anime festival."
"Anime Festival?"
"Yeah, Anime Festival, we're gonna have lots of fun here."
"But play with Onii-chan is fun too…"
"I just got bored, Megumin-chan… bored…"
So I strolled around this 'Anime Festival' with Kazuma.
"Even if you drain all of my magic power, I'll never give up!"
"Say whatever you want Arch Wizard! I already drained all of your magic power!"
"HAH! That's what you think! I still have something up my sleeve!"
I stopped for a moment to watch the anime displayed in one of their TVs, and the main character looks something like a mage... Wait, she looks like she has a strong personality... It suits well with what Kazuma said... Maybe if I copy her I'll be a strong person? Well, I should give it a try.
"Megumin-Chan?"
I looked at Kazuma, asking silently what's up?
"Can I visit your little sister? I want to see what she looks like..."
To Kazuma's questiong, I answered with a smile.
"You're more than welcome, Onii-chan."

Fuh, cooperate with a proof reader takes a long time… so, result is like this… I still a bit overwhelmed by it. See you in next chapter!
