Ah, life in a nursing home alone must be so lonely...

Will anyone come to pay their respects after I die...?

No one knew that I, a primary school student at the time, was thinking about such reckless things.

However... fate did not unfold as I had anticipated.

When I was twelve years old, my teacher suddenly told me some important news.

Chapter 372, Section 354: Little Senior Sister's Confession 1 (Part 2)

The teacher told me that she would be taking on a student.

I will have a junior brother.

Inoue Shuya.

That's his name.

I am familiar with this person.

For an autistic child like me, watching TV is one of the few interesting forms of entertainment.

So I do remember him.

When I actually met him, I found him to be even more adorable than he appeared on television.

He had soft hair, bright eyes, a beautiful nose, and vibrant lips.

Her skin was also very fair and delicate.

Her facial features combined make her as cute as a doll.

However, upon closer inspection, one can sense that he does indeed possess a boyish air of heroism.

His mixed charm was so captivating that I dared not look him in the eye.

Wait a minute.

---Seriously, would I dare look into anyone's eyes?

Yeah, I'm feeling withdrawn.

"Senior Sister Seisen, you're so beautiful!"

This was the first thing my junior brother said to me.

To be honest, I was terrified at the time.

Many adults have said this to me.

I basically don't talk to people my own age, let alone those younger than me.

So I have absolutely no experience of being praised by young people.

Not to brag, but I've been very sensitive to other people's thoughts since I was a child.

It's easy to deduce someone's mood from their subtle facial expressions.

This trait, combined with my own excessively delicate nature, makes me feel like I'm lacking in physical attributes.

Having a fragile heart and often overinterpreting things, she has always found it difficult to get along with others.

But the junior apprentice was different from the others.

He has a natural affinity for people, and his emotions are very pure.

I could clearly feel his kindness and sincerity. (Although as I've grown older, I've come to realize that my junior brother is very kind to pretty girls, hmm...)

I quickly established a good relationship with my junior brother.

... No, I should say, it was my junior brother who took the initiative to build a good relationship with me.

To paraphrase my junior brother, if we use the terms "top" and "bottom" to describe the relationship, I am definitely the "bottom."

I think I understand a little better now.

But isn't the opposite of "attack" "defense"?

What is "receive"?

I asked my junior brother, but he wouldn't tell me either.

My junior brother is good in every way, except that he often says things I can't understand, and sometimes he's quite malicious.

But I've always found my mischievous junior brother to be very lively, and I don't dislike him for it; on the contrary, it makes me love him even more.

After getting to know my junior brother, I feel happier every day.

My life, which I thought would remain unchanged, has undergone tremendous changes.

Simply put, my social circle has expanded, and I've made more friends.

And the junior brother is getting more and more girls around him...

I'm really worried about my junior brother's future.

But he should be able to handle everything.

Because he has always been very smart.

My teacher often says I'm a genius, but I think my junior classmate is more capable than me.

He learns music very quickly and has a great understanding of it.

What shocked me most was that my junior brother had a lot of genius-like inspiration.

But... maybe he's worried about my feelings? That's why he often asks me to create together.

My junior brother is so kind to me.

I still remember the song "Small Love Song" that I co-wrote with my junior brother, which received a huge response.

That was the first time I felt that the name my parents gave me hadn't been wasted.

Gen-sen.

However, unease lingered within the joy.

Will I still be able to bring joy to others in the future?

That would be great if we could do it.

However, as long as my junior brother is with me, I'm sure I can do it.

Time flies when I'm studying with my junior brother.

My junior brother has become busy again, and we see each other less and less often.

He has always been a capable person.

Being a voice actor, an actor, shooting commercials, TV dramas, and movies, while still maintaining good grades in school.

I heard that he later even took up martial arts, which is truly admirable.

What I admire most about him is undoubtedly his skill in navigating relationships with numerous girls.

How exactly can one learn to develop that kind of communication skill...?

Lost in practicing music, I found myself spending less and less time with my junior apprentice.

He went to work at Great Hua, which is far away, and it's rare to see him.

... It's so lonely.

If it were the old me, I probably wouldn't have thought that way.

Only those who have experienced happiness can truly understand the pain of being alone.

But I'm not bragging, I'm a seasoned veteran in the field of autism. As long as I immerse myself in music, I can forget everything.

Besides, it's not like I don't have friends. Mai- chan and I get along really well! (Proudly)

Ah... I forgot she's busy too. (crying)

He became withdrawn.

During my high school years, I participated in numerous music competitions and won many awards.

Ms. Ayako Ishikawa, my parents, my school teachers, and the principal often praise me, which makes me quite happy.

But I didn't participate in the competition to be praised, so I didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Focusing on music inevitably reduces other time, so I don't think it's my fault for not having friends at school; it's because I worked too hard. (Fragmented speech)

My junior colleague has been in Great Hua for several years and is finally planning to live here permanently.

It was one day during his first year of high school when he suddenly returned.

They helped me a lot as soon as they got back.

Being confessed to by boys starts as early as the third year of junior high school, and it happens even more often in high school.

It's really bothering me.

We've never even spoken a word to each other, I don't even know their names, yet they can openly say they like me and love me?

What do they know about me?

No, they know nothing.

I'm absolutely certain of this because I had no friends at school and never talked to anyone, so they wouldn't have any way to find out.

This is the composure of an old recluse. (Hands on hips)

Faced with this situation, my junior brother told me very accurately that they were in heat.

While I think this statement is a bit extreme, it undoubtedly hits the nail on the head.

So... it really is the youngest junior brother who's the cutest.

He not only accepted my weaknesses, but also tried his best to help me change.

Junior brother, I know him well.

Introducing Mai- chan Haruno -chan to me was meant to help me become a better person.

He has always been very considerate of me.

But if I thank him in person, my junior brother will definitely deny it awkwardly, or even lie to me with malicious intent.

Little Senior Sister, the observational skills I've cultivated through years of seclusion are no joke.

After my junior brother returned, he invited me to collaborate on composing music for the new anime, Sakura.

I have no reason to refuse.

I feel very happy to be able to create with my junior colleague.

We composed many pieces after that, but that's not important.

The important thing is that the junior apprentice's emotions have become very strange.

Especially during summer vacation, after he returned from a trip, his mood would be strangely depressed.
