Cashier: That'll be 1,895¥ please.
Jin: Ah right. Here you go~ -Jin would place the money in a small tray as the cashier would grab the tray and give Jin back his change as Jin grabbed the plastic bag of groceries as he would then was about to walk out of the supermarket, as he was about to walk out, he stopped and saw a group of five girls hanging out together but there was one girl who seemed anxious to leave and looked extremely nervous as though she was afraid. Jin then noticed that the girl who seemed afraid was Kirika- Oh? Bullied in public, huh? Let's see what I can do then. -He said to himself as he smirked and walked out of the supermarket as he went to the back of the supermarket-
-In front one of the food stalls, there were a group of guys hanging out together and one of the guys was Haruka, he looked over to the side and saw Kirika with the other girls as the guys would then speak out to Haruka-
Guy 1: Yo Haru, isn't that your girlfriend?
Haruka: Ex.
Guy 2: Eh?! Y'all broke up? Why?! You two looked good together too!
Haruka: It just didn't work out.
Guy 1: Maybe I should ask her out~
Haruka: Don't bother.
Guy 1: Why?
Haruka: She already has someone else on her mind.
Guy 1: What?! Who?! And how did you know anyway?
Haruka: If you confess to her, she'll tell you that she loves someone else but won't say who it is.
Guy 3: Have you asked her?
Haruka: I didn't want to waste my time and energy with that question.
Guy 3: But how would you know that she loves someone else then?
Haruka: If you won't believe me then ask her yourself.
Guy 1: Maybe I should!
Haruka: Too late. He's already here.
Guy 1: Hmm? Wha-?! -The sight of the Black Lykan Hypersport drove past the group of guys-
Haruka: The man she loves is driving that car.
Guy 2: You must be kidding! There's no way!
Haruka: Watch then.
-As Kirika was being pushed to talk, Kirika simply faked a smile as she laughed nervously and held onto her school bag closely as she was eager to leave but the girls had their arms around Kirika's neck, making her unable to leave. As the four girls were laughing loudly and rowdily, the sound of a loud powerful car engine could be heard, which caused everyone in the area to stop moving and stop talking to find the source of the sound, it was then the sight of a Black Lykan Hypersport heading down the road could be seen, which caught everyone's attention with the expensive car, the Lykan would drove by the girls and stop in front of them at the side of the road as the window would slide down as it opened up as Jin looked out to see Kirika as he smiled at her-
Jin: Yo, Kiri-chan~
Kirika: J-Jin-Nii-chan?! What are you doing here desu? -She asked as she bent downward to the window to look at Jin closely as she blushed slightly and seemed happy and relieved to see him-
Jin: Grocery shopping, you heading back now?
Kirika: Well..I..
Girl 1: I-I'm sorry but do you know her?
Jin: I'm her older brother.
Girl 2: B-Brother! A-Akatsuki-san, you should go~
Kirika: Eh? C-Can I?
Girl 2: Of course you can~ G-Go! Go! -The girls would insistently push Kirika as Kirika would then nervously enter Jin's car as she sat at the passenger seat at the front as Jin would look back at the girls as he smiled at them-
Jin: Thanks for returning her to me~
Girl 1: Y-You're welcome.. -Jin would then drive off and as he did, he and Kirika were then alone in the car together-
-Back to Haruka's side-
Haruka: Told you.
Guy 1: There's no way I can beat a guy like that.
Haruka: Let's just go.
Guy 1: Fine fine! I'm sure there are a lot of other cuties out there too!
Haruka: Hmph. "You've grown weak, Kirika. Getting bullied in public, the Hell happened to you?" -Haruka thought to himself as he crumpled up the canned coffee he was drinking and toss it in the trash can that he walked by-
-In the car with Kirika and Jin-
Kirika: T-Thank you for helping me out desu..
Jin: Kiri-chan.
Kirika: DEAATTH! Y-Yes..?
Jin: Why didn't you tell me that you were still getting bullied in school?
Kirika: I-I'm a grown up too desu! I can handle a few bullies on my own!
Jin: -In a few minutes, he arrived back to the apartment's parking area as he parked the car and turned off the car and then looked at Kirika with a serious and frustrated look on his face- You may be one of the saviours of the world and that you are also physically stronger than them but you are no adult!
Kirika: Wha-?! Yes I am desu! I am an adult desu!
Jin: Kirika! -For once in a long time, Jin called her by "Kirika" instead of "Kiri-chan", Kirika was surprised by the way he called her as she then got a little scared and nervous as she kept quiet- You're not like Chris or Tsubasa! If they were to get bullied, they will either intimidate their bullies with words or beat them up to a pulp like everyone else! That is what being an adult is! Standing up for yourself without relying on anyone else!
Kirika:...Yet you always protect Shirabe whenever she needs help.. -She mumbled softly in the car, Jin heard what she said as Jin would then move close to Kirika as he pinned her down on the car, causing Kirika to lean back onto her car door as she nervously stared at Jin as he stared back at her-
Jin: Shirabe is still too pure and immature to be left alone in this world, she's also not ready to defend herself without her Symphogear. Inside that powerful Crimson armour of Shul Shagana is a small fragile little girl who knows nothing about the term of "Depression". -After saying that one word, Kirika's eyes widened in surprise-
Kirika: W-What do you mean that she doesn't know the word desu? She obviously knows what depression is, desu!
Jin: I'm not talking about just being sad, I'm talking about the emotion and need of suicide.
Kirika: Eh? W-What does being an adult have to do about suicide desu?
Jin: I knew a lot of people who got so depressed from being bullied that they would just end their lives to get rid of their misery! Those who protect themselves from bullies are the ones who are aware of suicide! Shirabe does not know that getting bullied could also mean death itself!
Kirika: Then she should learn on her own desu! She's grown up already!
Jin: She's a year younger than you!
Kirika: Eh?
Jin: Have you forgotten? She's younger than you by a year! Not by a few months, but a YEAR! You're 16 years old, you should be able to fend off on your own at least, I can't always be there for you when you need me, Kiri-chan. Serena and Maria also need help too, you know? Shirabe needs to have someone by her side at all times and I can't always protect you from those bullies.
Kirika: But I...It's scary desu..How am I supposed to defend myself desu?! What if I get expelled from school? What if their parents sue me for hurting their children..?
Jin: Then I'll make sure that they will sue me instead, because I am your guardian after all.
Kirika: If I get expelled?
Jin: Then I'll try to reason with the chairman of the school, if it doesn't work out then I'll help you out in finding another school for you.
Kirika: You just said that you can't help me desu...Yet you're saying all of these things to me, are you trying to lie to me, Jin-Nii-chan?
Jin: I only said that I can't protect you from the bullies, anything apart from that, I will do what I can, okay?
Kirika:..Then tell me, what do you think I should do just now? When I was with those girls desu..
Jin: Run or yell at them, reason with them and get out of there.
Kirika: If they won't let me go?
Jin: Fight.
Kirika: Eh? A-A girl shouldn't be fighting other girls desu!
Jin: Don't be hypocritical. You fought Shirabe in the past along with Carol and the Autoscorers, they were girls too.
Kirika: Those were meant to be used by my Symphogear desu!
Jin: Every fight means something, whether or not it is by a Symphogear or your very own bare hands. Besides, if a girl shouldn't be fighting other girls then maybe you should ask Chris, cus she seems to like beating the crap out of other girls who she thinks are "bitches".
Kirika: So...You just want me to defend myself desu?
Jin: Yes, please do. Starting tomorrow, if they start bullying you, whether you're in the middle of class, lunch or after school, prove to them that you are no pushover. -He would put a hand on Kirika's cheek and softly rub her cheek as Kirika blushed and stared into his eyes and saw his gentle smile as she moved her hand and put her hand on his hand that was on her cheek as she nodded slowly-
Kirika: I will do it desu.
Jin: Now that's the Kiri-chan I know~ Now let's go.
Kirika: D-Desu! -The two would then head to the lift as they went back up to the apartment together as Kirika held one side of the grocery bag as Jin held the other side- By the way, where's Shirabe? Left school earlier today desu.
Jin: She went out with Chris and Kinji today, apparently Chris invited her out to hang out with them.
Kirika: Ah okay, but I'm surprised Chris-senpai would ask Shirabe.
Jin: Well, after what happened yesterday, I'm sure Chris would feel sentimental towards Shirabe so as her senior, I bet she's trying to do what she can to cheer her junior up.
Kirika: Such a nice Senpai desu~
Jin: Chris is sweet after all, just a little rough around the edges.
Kirika: Haha! I guess that's true desu!
-As the two got inside the apartment, Kirika headed to her bedroom to get changed while Jin was in the kitchen, keeping and storing the food he bought. Jin's phone would start vibrating as it was ringing, he would then reach over to his phone on the counter as he saw that the caller was Shirabe, he then answered to speak to Shirabe and as he did, Kirika walked out of the room after changing-
Kirika: Desu?
Jin: Oh. Tonight? For how long? Just for tonight then? Okay sure, do you have your clothes? Oh, so you bought some clothes then, all right, take care, have fun~ Bye bye~ -He then place the phone down after the call ended as he would then sigh softly as he turned and saw Kirika was looking at him- Hmm? What's wrong?
Kirika: Who was it?
Jin: Shirabe, she said she'll be staying over at Chris' place for the night.
Kirika: Oh, why?
Jin: She said that Chris asked for her help with a few things, I'm not sure what but I didn't want to pry so I let them do what they want.
Kirika: So she'll be back tomorrow desu?
Jin: I guess? So it'll just be the two of us for the day then.
Kirika: J-Just the two of us desu?! -She blushed as she asked nervously as she looked at Jin-
Jin: Y-Yeah..?
Kirika: O-Okay then desu! W-What should I do to help desu?
Jin: There's actually nothing much to do today, I planned to cook for tonight but I'm afraid that I may cook too much for the two of us, considering that Shirabe isn't here to eat with us. So I was thinking of ordering Pizza for delivery, what do you think?
Kirika: Pizza desu!
Jin: Heh, gotcha, but what do you want to do for now?
Kirika: T-Talk to me desu!
Jin: Talk to you about death?
Kirika: N-No! Just talk to me about stuff desu!
Jin: Well all right but what do you want to talk about?
Kirika: I want to talk about the other girls desu..
Jin: Such as?
Kirika: Maria and Serena.
Jin: Sure. -He would then walk to the couch as he had an orange in his hand as he was holding to mugs of soft drinks as he would then place the drinks on the coffee table as he sat on the couch and started to peel the orange- So what is it that you'd like to ask me about the two?
Kirika: What's your relationship with them desu?
Jin: My relationship with them? Isn't it simple? We're just friends. -After he finished peeling the orange, he took a piece out and fed Kirika one as she blushed and ate the piece-
Kirika: But weren't you in love with Maria?
Jin:...Well I was but after we broke up, a lot has changed.
Kirika: What about now?
Jin: What about now?
Kirika: Like, who do you love the most right now desu?
Jin: I love everyone but if I had to choose someone I'd want to spend my entire life with, I'd say: "Shirabe".
Kirika: You must really love her a lot..
Jin: I've been looking for her for far too long to not want to spend time with her.
Kirika: If she had a boyfriend before she met you, would you still love her the same way you do right now?
Jin: Perhaps..But I'll love her as a brother but I can't go beyond that now can I?
Kirika: Then would you go for Maria if Shirabe had a boyfriend desu?
Jin: Maybe?
Kirika: I-If it was me?
Jin: Oho~? Kiri-chan, you're so cheeky~
Kirika: Wha-?! I-I am not cheeky desu! I-I was just asking!
Jin: So you want me to pick you if Shirabe had a boyfriend in an alternate timeline?
Kirika: I-I don't know...M-Maybe?
Jin: Then what about Haruka?
Kirika: I..Don't care about him desu, he has nothing to do with my world desu.
Jin: Ouch, I can't help but feel bad for him now. You guys must've ended in bad terms for you to hate him that much.
Kirika: Hmph! He's the last person I'd want to see desu!
Jin: I'm sorry for bringing him up.
Kirika: Ah! I-It's not your fault desu! I just...Don't like him...
Jin: So tell me, if I was your boyfriend, what would you do to me or what would you want me to do?
Kirika: I-I'll hold hands desu! Hug you, snuggle, cling onto you and everything desu!
Jin: And what would you want me to do?
Kirika: Love me.. -She said softly as she blushed madly and looked to the side, Jin would then move closer to Kirika as he'd then poke her cheek softly and move her head down, having her head lay on his lap- DEAAATTTHHH! W-What are you doing desu?!
Jin: Spoiling you.
Kirika: Eh?
Jin: Kiri-chan, despite everything, I can't betray Shirabe and I don't want to repeat the mistake I did in the past.
Kirika: I know desu..
Jin: You know?
Kirika: I knew that you cheated on Maria for Shirabe desu..
Jin: Who told you?
Kirika: Onii-chan..
Jin: Kinji, huh? Well, he has the right to tell, after all it was my sin but please make sure Shirabe doesn't know?
Kirika: I won't tell her, I don't want to ruin your relationship with her desu.
Jin: Thank you.
Kirika: But...Would you accept me now desu?
Jin: Kiri-chan, I like you, I really really do but unless Shirabe and I were to break up then perhaps I would consider being in a relationship with you but I need to be mentally prepared to be someone new after being hurt with the girl I once loved. So for now, I accept you but I cannot take you.
Kirika: I-I understand...-She teared up slightly as she rubbed her face on Jin's shirt as she laid on his lap-
Jin: Oh my.. There there, there's no need to cry.
Kirika: I-I'm not crying desu..
Jin: Although, I do have one question, Kiri-chan.
Kirika: Hmm? W-What is it desu?
Jin: Why me?
Kirika: I-I don't know desu...You're always so kind to me desu, you take care of me, teach me and watch over me desu..
Jin: But I do that with everyone...Right?
Kirika: Yes but...I don't know desu! At some point after breaking up with that jerk, I just sort of...Fell in love with you desu..
Jin: I...See...But what did you do when I got together with Shirabe?
Kirika: I just watched like everyone else did.
Jin: -He'd sigh softly as he rubbed Kirika's head as she looked up at him with her teary eyes as she sniffled slightly, Jin would then rub her tears away with his finger as he smiled at her warmly as he brushed her hair with his fingers softly- Sometimes I wonder why a sweet girl like you has to suffer so much for the sake of others.
Kirika: W-What do you mean?
Jin: Getting bullied, kidnapped when you were a baby, forced to be an experiment and nearly died in battle for your friends. I just...Hate seeing you do all of that..
Kirika: Jin-Nii-chan..
Jin: Kiri-chan, there's gonna be a time where I might not be here with you or anyone else or even Shirabe.
Kirika: Eh? W-What are you saying desu?
Jin: Please, when that time comes, please keep Shirabe safe, I don't want her to die anymore. I've lost her once and I do not want to lose her again. Please..
Kirika: I-I'll keep her safe desu, don't worry desu!
Jin: Thank you..
Kirika: Jin-Nii-chan..?
Jin: Yeah?
Kirika:...Do you want to play some Super Smash Brothers?
Jin:...Yeah sure!
-Within the passing hours after the had their fun of gaming and had finished their dinner together, the two would hang around the living room together as Kirika was watching "Dragon Ball Z" on the television while Jin was on his phone as it seems that he was messaging to Shirabe-
"So what are you doing now?" - Shirabe.
"Just keeping Kiri-chan company, she's watching TV right now." - Jin.
"I see. Have you eaten yet?" - Shirabe.
"Just had pizza not long ago. You?" - Jin.
"Lucky! I wanted pizza too and yeah, I just went out to eat dinner with Chris-senpai and Kinji-san, we had sushi~" - Shirabe.
"Now you're even more luckier than me, I wanted sushi." - Jin.
"Maybe when I come back we can have sushi together, just the two of us?" - Shirabe.
"Oh I like that idea~ But what about Kiri-chan?" - Jin.
"Oh yeah..I guess we can bring her along too I guess.." - Shirabe.
"You don't seem too happy about bringing her with us, why is that?" - Jin.
"Well I'm sorry but I just wanted to spend some alone time with you and we don't get to spend time together all that often too.." - Shirabe.
"But we're always together though, except for today." - Jin.
"Yeah but I mean when we're alone! I'm okay with Kiri-chan joining us but I just want to be with you and I don't want anyone else to get in the way of that.." - Shirabe.
"Well, what time do you think you'll be done by tomorrow?" - Jin.
"Well tomorrow's the weekend so I'll be coming back home in the morning, why?" - Shirabe.
"I'll go over and pick you up in the morning and we can go on an early morning date after I pick you up, how does that sound?" - Jin.
"Yes please." - Shirabe.
"Haha! Sure thing, but what are you doing right now?" - Jin.
"I'm just sitting on the couch here in the living room while Chris-senpai and Kinji-san are going through some paperwork together. They look like office workers right now too.." - Shirabe.
"Haha, well the two are meant for each other after all, oh and also, one more thing." - Jin.
"Hmm? What is it, Nii-san?" - Shirabe.
-A voice message was then sent to Shirabe from Jin. Shirabe was caught by surprise as she would then quickly look Chris and Kinji who were both extremely busy with their work as she would then get up from the couch and head to the guest room that was she was using, she quickly locked the door and turned the volume on her phone down to listen what Jin said as Shirabe's heart began to race as she was getting excited from the voice message that was sent-
"I really miss you, I want to see you right now, Shirabe." -The voice message said in Jin's voice. Shirabe's eyes widened as she skipped multiple heartbeats after hearing that message, she would then run and jump to her bed as she hugged the pillow and screamed and squealed into the pillow loudly as she rolled around her bed and kept repeating the voice message-
Shirabe: Ahhhhhhhh! -She screamed loudly which alerted the couple that was in the living room-
Chris: Oi! Shirabe! What's wrong! -Chris ran to the guest room door as she tried to open the door but it was lock, Chris would then try to knock it down with her arm but was too weak to do so- Hey! Shirabe! What's going on?!
Kinji: Move out, move out! -Chris would then move aside as Kinji stood in front of the door as he took out a gun from his pocket and shot the doorknob and then pushed the door open- Shirabe-chan?! -As the entered the room, they saw the sight of Shirabe sitting up straight on her bed as she was looking at the two normally-
Shirabe: What's wrong?
Chris: The Hell?! You were screaming!
Shirabe: No I wasn't.
Chris: I swear I did! You screamed!
Shirabe: No I didn't.
Chris: Yes you did! D-Did she..? -She then turned to Kinji as he looked at her and tilted his head-
Kinji: I don't know, it could be the neighbours watching a horror move with their volume really high.
Chris: Wha-?! No way!
Kinji: Who knows?
Chris: Well that is just bullshit! -The two would then return back to the living room as they closed Shirabe's door. Shirabe would then blush madly as she hugged her pillow tightly once more and smiled happily-
"I really miss you, I want to see you right now, Shirabe." -Shirabe continuously repeated the voice message as she listened to it as she would then quickly reply to Jin-
"Nii-san! You nearly got me into trouble!" - Shirabe.
"Eh?! What happened?!" - JIn.
"You made me scream after hearing your message..And it scared both Kinji-san and Chris-senpai." - Shirabe.
"Hahahaha!" - Jin.
"But...It made me REALLY REALLY HAPPY to hear your voice, Nii-san. I want to see you right now.." - Shirabe.
"Facecam would cause a bit of a problem here for me if Kiri-chan finds out.." - Jin.
"I know but I can't wait to see you tomorrow!" - Shirabe.
"Me too, I want to see you as soon as possible," - Jin.
"It's getting late right now so I should be going to sleep, Good night, Nii-san." - Shirabe.
"Good night~" - Jin.
. . .
"I love you!" - Shirabe.
"I love you too~." - Jin.
-THE END-
