I Was Reincarnated As The Older Brother Of A Villainess Destined to Die, So I Want To Change The Future By Raising My Younger Sister With My Own Hands. I Am The Strongest In The World, But My Little Sister Must Be The Cutest In The World - Volume 3 Chapter 6.8

Time flies quickly, and six years have passed since Foranada took center stage. We are now sixteen years old, the age to enter the academy. As the start of the game scenario approaches, I naturally feel the pressure, but I believe I have prepared everything I can in advance. All that’s left is to adapt on the fly.

By the way, our conflict with the royal palace is currently at a stalemate. It feels like both sides are upholding a non-aggression pact. Well, things got pretty heated when I volunteered to be the guardian of the First Prince, but we resolved it quickly, so let’s consider it a success.

Now, back to the present.

At sixteen, according to the growth rate of people in this world, our bodies are already adult-like. My white hair and light purple eyes remain the same, but my height has grown to 183 centimeters. I hate to say it myself, but I think my facial features have become more handsome and refreshing. Well, self-praise feels awkward, but I should note that people around me have a positive opinion of me.

However, there is one point of dissatisfaction. Despite having well-developed muscles, this body has a slim appearance. It seems to have a tendency to look slender, which is a drawback.

“Hmm, with the white hair, it really gives off a cosplay vibe,” I mused in front of the mirror in my private room. Today, I heard that the academy’s uniform had been completed, so I decided to try it on.

The result was indescribable. The uniform itself had a design of a black base with gold lines, resembling a casual military outfit. It reminded me of characters from manga or anime, and it felt quite out of place. Well, considering that this world itself is similar to the game, I can’t help but feel this kind of chuunibyou vibe, which makes me restless.

I pondered in front of the mirror for a while, making a few grunts. Then, I heard a knocking sound at the door.

With my constant detection ability, I was aware of the presence approaching my room. It turned out to be Caron, Orca, Nina, and Minerva standing in front of the door.

It’s not unnatural for all four of them to be together. We all get along well, after all.

Ah, Minerva’s tsundere tendencies were something I had come to understand about everyone. After spending six years together, you start to grasp each other’s natures.

But I digress.

Timing-wise, they must have come to show me their uniform outfits. The suggestion came from Caron and Orca, with Minerva pretending to be reluctantly enthusiastic, and Nina just going with the flow. I can easily imagine the interactions between the four of them.

I motion for them to come in and step away from the mirror. It’s somewhat embarrassing to be caught scrutinizing my own uniform appearance.

“We’re intruding, Zecks-nii!”

Orca takes the lead. Unfortunately, his growth over these six years seems to be limited to an increase in height. I think he was around 155 centimeters. He hasn’t become more manly at all; he still has his baby face, and his short chestnut hair is silky smooth.

The girls’ uniform has been modified to feature a black-themed pleated skirt instead of the men’s slacks, and he wears it flawlessly. Unlike me, he looks incredibly adorable, with a charming appeal. Especially the tail peeking out from the skirt, swaying playfully. It was incredibly cute.

Wait a minute. Why is Orca wearing the girls’ uniform? I overlooked it because it suited him so well, but it’s too unnatural.

“Why are you wearing the girls’ uniform?”

“Someone told me that Zecks-nii would be happy about it.”

“Who was it!?!”

I can’t say it’s a complete lie, but I’m frustrated that I’m giving him such poor advice. I genuinely care for Orca as my little brother.

As I hold my head in frustration, Orca responds with a puzzled expression.

“It was Galna-san, the newcomer caretaker.”

That guy!

I had hired someone a year ago to take care of Caron and Orca in preparation for their enrollment at the academy. And it seems that person is the mastermind behind this.

“We should have a serious talk with them.”

I knew they had a cheerful personality, but their perception of me is off. To prevent any further troublesome incidents, it’s necessary to firmly address the issue.

Having made up my mind, Orca suddenly lowers his head unexpectedly.

“W-What’s wrong?”

I hurriedly ask, concerned about Orca, who is rapidly shrinking.

Then he raises his face slightly and says, “…Doesn’t it suit me?”

Problem. When asked by a tearful, beautiful step-sis… brother with upturned eyes if the current outfit suits them, how should one respond?

“It suits you perfectly!”

Answer. Respond enthusiastically with “It suits you” without hesitation.

Thanks to my swift response, Orca visibly relaxes with a relieved expression.

No, no. If I were to suggest changing into the boys’ uniform after seeing that sad face, it would be out of the question. They willingly changed into it with good intentions. The school rules state that both boys and girls can wear either uniform, so I won’t say anything more tactless. Yeah, I’ve given up.

“By the way, why only Orca?”

After a brief pause, I inquire about the reason why the other members are still waiting by the entrance.

Orca suddenly exclaims, “Oh, I forgot. We decided to have each person go in one by one for Zex-nii to see. The rule is that the person who went in before calls the next person.”

“Oh, I see.”

It seems like they made that arrangement among themselves. It’s not entirely clear, but it’s probably best not to interfere unnecessarily.

Orca calls out, “Next person, please!” and the door opens immediately.

Nina enters the room.

Unlike Orca, she has undergone significant growth over the past six years. Although her hairstyle remains a single braid, everything else has changed dramatically.

Firstly, her height has reached 177 centimeters. With her dignified facial features, calm demeanor, and excellent posture, she has become a stunning beauty whom the term “handsome” accurately describes.

The uniform she wears is also impeccably fitting, giving her a knightly aura.

However, contrary to her appearance, her body has developed in a feminine way. She possesses a well-proportioned figure with pronounced curves and just the right amount of muscle, combining functional and artistic beauty.

While she retains the title of a beauty, she might end up being called a “warrior goddess” or something similar at the academy. And it seems her popularity among girls is likely to soar.

By the way, her twin sister, the heroine, may not be considered loli, but she didn’t develop as much. Well, considering the environment she grew up in, it’s understandable.

“What do you think?”

Nina calmly asks.

She’s still a reserved child who doesn’t show much emotion. However, having spent many years together, my skills have sharpened to the point where I don’t miss even the slightest change. It’s evident that she’s undoubtedly waiting for my opinion.

I am not one to disappoint such expectations.

“You look really great. Handsome and cool. And I think the ribbon you’re using for your braid is cute too.”

“Thank you.”

Nina faintly smiles.

It seems I was able to give the right feedback. Through my application of “anticipation,” I noticed that she was using a different ribbon to tie her hair. It was probably something she acquired for this occasion. I’m glad I was able to compliment her properly.

“Next, please.”

Nina nods satisfactorily and promptly calls the next person. She then moves to a corner of the room. It seems she wants to bask in the afterglow.

Was she really that happy? I thought I was giving her compliments as usual, but maybe I should increase the frequency?

However, I can’t keep paying attention to Nina forever. I respond to the call, and the third person enters.

“Heheh. Feast your eyes on my beauty!”

Appearing with an arrogant and disdainful attitude is my fiancée, Minerva. She sways her trademark twintails and proudly averts her flat chest with a smug expression.

Minerva has always had confidence in her appearance, so her reaction is as expected. However, it’s a cruel fact that she, like Orca, hasn’t grown much. Her lovely pouting face, eyes resembling shiny black onyx, and mostly straight figure have hardly changed since six years ago. Although her height has increased, it’s just barely around 140 centimeters.

To give Minerva some credit, she has grown more compared to the original game. In her past life’s profile, her measurements were AAA. Yet, in reality, she’s an A cup. I think that’s quite a difference.

“Your beauty is so enchanting that you could be mistaken for a fairy. I think you really bring out the allure of black in Minerva’s uniform, emphasizing the black of her hair and eyes, and making her fair skin even more… beautifully radiant.”

“Of course, I do!”

Her tsundere attitude is in full swing today. She turns her head away with a huff in response to my words. But it’s clear as day that she’s delighted.

As I smile at my adorable fiancée, Minerva also raises her voice and says, “Next, please!”

It seems it’s finally time for the last member to enter.

“Pardon me, Onii-sama.”

With a polite greeting, a beautiful woman with distinctive golden hair tied in a ponytail enters the room. Her golden hair, resembling ears of rice, and her porcelain-like white skin shimmer brilliantly. Every feature on her face is of exquisite beauty.

Her beauty is not the only impressive thing. With her height of 166 centimeters, her figure is outstanding and would captivate anyone who sees her. No, her proportions are truly remarkable.

Needless to say, this golden-haired beauty is none other than my beloved sister, Caron. She has grown into a peerless beauty from her previously adorable self. It’s truly something to be proud of.

However, the question remains as to why she has grown so much compared to her game counterpart. It’s as if she’s in the wrong genre of the game. Her body has significant curves and irregularities. I wonder what she did to grow to this extent. When I indirectly asked her, she only responded with, “It’s the power of love.”

Well, let’s set that question aside for now.

Her polished ruby-like eyes—slightly slanted, perhaps due to her role as a villainess—are now fixed on me.

Sensing her emotions, I quickly speak up.

“Caron, you’re beautiful too. The combination of black and gold enhances each other, highlighting your beauty.”

“Thank you, Onii-sama!”

The moment she hears my compliment, Caron blossoms into a radiant smile. Just from that expression, one could feel satisfied enough to have multiple servings of food.

In this way, all four of them have grown into beautiful and adorable individuals. I believe I’ve also made some progress, but to keep up with these girls, I can’t afford to be complacent. I must continue to put in effort.

Satisfied with receiving my compliment, the girls start chattering excitedly. They all wear smiles, clearly enjoying the present moment.

As I silently observe this scene, I suddenly hear a voice from beside me.

“You look great too, Zex. Handsome.”

“Thank you, but Shion compliments me no matter what I wear, right?”

“I mean it.”

“That’s why I’m returning the favor, isn’t it?”

“Huh? When did this happen?”

Caron and the others, who just noticed Shion’s presence, look at us with surprised expressions. It seems they weren’t aware of Shion’s presence.

Shion calmly responds.

“I entered the room together with Lady Caroline and her companions. I was immediately captured by Zex-sama’s attention, though.”

“Of course.”

I shrug my shoulders at her slightly disappointed expression.

I was aware that Shion had entered the room unnoticed from behind Caron and the others. I trusted her, so I let it go, but I wonder what she really wanted to accomplish.

However, thanks to her, it became clear that Caron and the others lack sufficient perception abilities. Even though Shion is the strongest among the girls, she shouldn’t be disregarded. I’ll think about adding some additional training for them later.

“The expression on Onii-sama’s face…”

“What did you do, Shion-ne?”

“I wonder if I can escape?”

“Resignation is crucial.”

The four of them are making a fuss, but I don’t pay it any mind. As Nina said, there’s no way they can escape from me.

Another lively day passes by.

Soon, our eventful school life will begin. We’ll experience enjoyable events along with challenging developments.

I strongly feel that I want to overcome all of them and continue to laugh together like this. I want to put even more effort into it, all for the sake of a happy future.
