"Onii-chan, come here!"

Misaki shouted cheerfully as she ran around the train station.

"Yeah, yeah. Wait a minute. It's strange to see you so excited to go out."

Kazuto said confusedly while chasing after her.

As promised, they will go for a walk in Tokyo and enter the aquarium park which was recently opened.

"Of course, because the station is quieter than I thought."

She said while laughing.

They had arrived in Tokyo using the subway. And when Misaki saw that there were fewer people than usual made her happy. She didn't have to cower behind Kazuto because of that.

"The reverse thing happens when you say it out loud, you know..."

Kazuto muttered.

Not hearing him muttering, Misaki continued to walk cheerfully so that Kazuto took several photos of her.

"Misaki, try to make a peaceful pose."

"Huh? Like this?"

Misaki followed his words with a confused face, but Kazuto took the opportunity and took another photo.

"Let's go. And put on your jacket because it might be cold when we enter the aquarium."

"Um!"

---

The distance between the aquarium they are going to and the train station is about 30 minutes if they walk.

Therefore they chose to walk while looking around.

But trouble come as Misaki walked closer to their destination which left her breathless.

"Hahh... Ha..hah.. Why is it so crowded here!!"

They were not far from where they were going, but there were so many people there by just looking at it made Misaki suffocate.

"Somehow I feel like I am looking for a holy book to the west as a mission from Buddha, and these people are blocking me...."

She complained.

"Welcome to Tokyo."

Kazuto replied who had guessed this situation.

"Want to go in, or should we head back home?"

he asked as he looked at Misaki. He didn't want to force his little sister to come in if she couldn't stand the crowd.

"No, since we're already here let's just go in. I didn't want to waste time coming here just to come back."

Misaki replied with determination on her face.

"Okay....."

Yes, I'm sure I can get past them!! Misaki shouted in her heart. She had to turn that fear into confidence in order to get in there, and then she would have fun after that.

Yeah, she had to do that in order to break through.

"Come on, Onii-chan! Forward! Shinzou wo sasageyo!!"

Shouted Misaki while holding Kazuto's arm and then running past the crowd with him. She thought with her determination she would be able to break through.

But unfortunately, her body was too small and couldn't pass through the crowd, she even started to be afraid to come into contact with them, and the gazes directed at her made her even more nervous, so she looked at Kazuto with half-crying eyes.

"...Lead the way..."

"Haa.... I thought you would said that."

Kazuto who saw her trying but failing couldn't help but sigh with a sour face as he patted her head.

There was no way she would be able to adapt quickly anyway. Kazuto thought.

He then took the initiative by carrying her behind his back.

"Onii-chan...?"

Confused by his actions, Misaki made a questioning face.

"I'll drop you off when we get there."

"........Thank you."

With that, They are walking down the street with kneels Kazuto gave her a piggyback ride.

Misaki could see Kazuto's back was so wide that she could feel safe on his back.

Was my back ever this wide before when I was his age? No, it feels wider. I was right? Misaki wondered as she subconsciously rubbed her palm on Kazuto's back which somehow made her feel comfortable.

Hmm, yes. It's definitely wider. That was the conclusion she reached.

"Misaki? What are you doing?"

Kazuto became confused by her actions so he asked.

"Has Onii-chan ever dated a girl before?"

"Yeah??"

He was even more confused when asked that.

"Just answer."

At Misaki's urging, he replied

"Nope, I never date a with girl before."

"...."

"So what?"

"No...it's just that I thought Onii-chan would at least do it once because you're popular."

Misaki replied. Somehow she felt a little uncomfortable discussing this.

"Ohh, come to think of it, I've actually dated someone a lot."

Hearing those words made Misaki's eyes sharpen.

"Who is that?"

Who, who dares to date Kazuto without getting my attention!? If she's not a nice person and only intends to flirt and have fun with him, then I'll kick that bitch right away and will never approve of her!

"Well, I wondering?"

Kazuto replied with a playful smile upon seeing Misaki's troubled looking face. It's so funny seeing him like that.

"Give me a clue about who she is."

"Sure. First, she's very close to me."

Very close? I've never seen him close enough with many girls so far other than Horimiya-san. Is it her? If that's true, then I can heave a sigh of relief because of her kind personality. But I was quite annoyed that I didn't notice it.

"Is that Horimiya-san??"

"Hori-san? No, not her."

Kazuto replied with a smile.

At that answer, Misaki frowned.

"Then why don't you call her by honorifics? That must be her, right?"

Misaki asked in such a sullen tone that Kazuto couldn't help but laugh.

"No, I've only met her once and it's been a long time, she also allowed me to call her that. Is that wrong? Wait, could it be that you're……jealous"

"N-No, it's not wrong for everyone. And who's jealous!!"

Misaki had no right to forbid Kazuto's freedom unless it was illegal. So she could only keep quiet for this. But somehow she was quite annoyed.

On the one hand, Kazuto continued to laugh at her, and it was clear that it annoyed Misaki even more. She doesn't like to be played.

"Let's leave it as it is then. Well, we've arrived."

Without being left to think any further, they finally arrived at the entrance to the inside.

Kazuto then lowered Misaki from his back slowly.

"You have not answer my question."

Misaki said with a sullen tone.

"Uwaah, my sister looks scary when she's upset. But as for the answer, let's save it for later because now we have to have some fun."

Misaki continued to stare at him with a frown before finally relenting.

"Hmph, I'll leave it for now. Once this is done I'll ask about it in detail later."

But come to think of it, why am I so angry about this? Wouldn't it be great if Kazuto could finally have a girlfriend as I hoped, wouldn't it?

Misaki became confused with her own feelings.

"Hahaha, alright, alright. Now let's get in."

They finally bought tickets and went inside.

The cold feeling from the indoor air conditioner immediately made Misaki's neck turn colder. Even though it was very hot outside, once inside, the temperature became colder which made Misaki feel uncomfortable due to the rapid change.

On the one hand, she was starting to think that the clothes she was wearing today were strange.

Why am I wearing an office shirt cosplay here? I feel regret for following Kazuto's orders because he taking care of me when I was sick as he was had the same condition or more bad than me. She thought with a sigh.

Luckily it wasn't visible because he was wearing a jacket, and a backpack. Otherwise, he might start to feel embarrassed.

But ignoring that, they were finally able to go inside, and Misaki's eyes lit up when she saw what greeted her in front of her.

"Wow..."

"Well, it's not meaningless that we come here."

All the mental fatigue and attempt that Misaki felt disappeared after seeing the scene in front of her.

"The aquarium is really big, and very beautiful..."

Misaki muttered in amazement.

A transparent glass wall 10 meters high and very long greeted them, which was filled with various colorful fish, and beautiful marine plants.

Not only that, there are many other aquarium tubes that contain fish of the same type, and so on.

Besides, it was quieter inside than Misaki thought even though there were still a lot of people.

"Let's go."

Kazuto extended his arm to her.

"Um!"

Misaki accepted his offer, and they left holding hands.

She had unconsciously been excited to go around.

On the other hand, not far after Misaki and Kazuto entered.

"Look! Look, Onii-chan! There are a lot of fish here!"

"Mmm, wonderful is it? And be careful Hikari, if you walk too fast you'll get lost."

A child with white hair and blue eyes, accompanied by his younger sister and his parents, they are just entered.

"Mom, father, look! There are many beautiful fish!"

"Fufu, they're really pretty, aren't they?"

"Look over there, there's also a big stingray."

"Umm!"

This is an ordinary of a family that goes for fun over the weekend. Nothing strange at all with them.

However, the boy looked a little different from the rest of the them as he was the only one with white hair out of all.

"I think a vacation after blowing out a few candles is the right choice."

Muttered the boy as he smiled happily. He felt a little nostalgic when he came here even though it was his first time.

Thinking of the many good memories he had with his family made him feel happy, but he also felt bitter inside when he could only stand alone without them after that day.

The grief he felt at the time, the pain in his heart that couldn't disappear even after years of the incident, as well as the revenge he had, he couldn't forget all of that.

"I won't let that happen again......"

He muttered in a low voice.

"Onii-chan?"

He was immediately distracted when his sister's voice called out to him.

"Yeah, what's wrong Hikari?"

she asked as she formed a gentle smile.

"You're too behind, Onii-chan will miss and get lost if you still stay."

"Haha, sorry. I pondered a bit for a while. Come, let's see the other fish."

"Umm!"

With a cheerful reply from his sister, they then walked again and chased their parents in front.

"Let's throw the troubled things behind, and have fun for now."

Leaving those words behind, the place he stood also created a new imprint for his past.
