How could he gently confess to his family that he had a mental illness without frightening them? Waiting online for answers—Miyuki Shirogane was in a real hurry!
"Dad, if I said this was for Kei's self-defense, would you believe me?"
"For your sister's self-defense?" Miyuki's slightly tipsy father pressed the stun gun's switch. "Bzzzt, bzzzt..." After a burst of electrical crackling, Miyuki's father, who was holding the stun gun, electrocuted himself unconscious and collapsed to the floor.
Miyuki Shirogane: "..."
Why was the person holding the stun gun the one who got shocked unconscious?
Kei Shirogane: "..."
So this had been her brother's—no, this pervert's—goal all along? He wanted her to shock herself unconscious? This bro—this pervert had suddenly become terrifying.
Kei took several more steps back, putting nearly an entire room's worth of distance between them before she said coldly:
"This is the stun gun you said was for self-defense? If Dad hadn't happened to press the switch, what were you planning to do to your own little sister? Pervert!"
Cold sweat streamed down Miyuki's face. W-why had things turned out like this? Why was the one pressing the switch the one who got electrocuted? H-how was he supposed to explain this now?
"Kei, your brother says this was actually an accident. Do you believe me?" Miyuki tried to step forward.
"Stop..." Seeing Miyuki move, Kei hurriedly stopped him. "Until Dad wakes up, I think the two of us need to keep a certain distance apart. If you try to come closer, I can only leave the house first..."
"Kei, listen to me. This is all a misunderstanding. I absolutely never intended to electrocute you unconscious..."
"So you've finally admitted your goal? And that rope wasn't meant for tying yourself up either, was it?" Kei asked warily.
Miyuki Shirogane:
