Chapter 7:

Unusual Morning

Reincarnated And Became My Little Sister!?

Morning has come. I slept well because I'm too tired yesterday, but I was able to wake up as usual.

And something odd happened this morning.

"Onii-chan?"

I found Kazuto getting up earlier than usual. What dreams did he have to make him like this? I mean, he'll at least wake up when I go to wake him up.

"Good morning."

He replied casually like all of this was normal.

No, no. Don't say good morning like that. At least explain why you're up so early.

"What? I Can't get up at this hour and go jogging with my imouto (sister)?"

Seeing the confusion implied on my face he explained.

"That's not wrong either..."

I can't say much about what he can't do.

And I just realized that he's wearing training clothes to out.

"Okay, shall we run now?"

He asked with bright eyes.

He looked very excited to run with me.

"Are you stupid? We have to warm up before running."

I replied when I stretched my body and walked out of the house.

"Hahaha, that's right."

Kazuto giggled for a bit before following me outside to warm up.

I'm confused why he become like this, but it's a nice change. Having a running buddy isn't bad either.

After warming up for a while, we started jogging around the residential area.

"It's also fun to jog in the morning."

Said Kazuto while running beside me.

We were just running leisurely while enjoying the fresh air in the morning until we passed Himiko's grandmother's house.

As usual, She was sweeping his yard.

We ran to greet him.

"Good morning, Obaa-san."

"Ohh, who else if not Misaki. But it's surprising to see Kazuto too this time."

Said Himiko's grandmother in a friendly tone.

"My little sister this morning came to wake me up, then said "Onii-chan, please accompany me to run because I feel lonely every morning having to do it alone" with a pleading look, so I had to follow her plea as a good brother."

"Who said that, huh!"

I immediately hit his stomach lightly when I heard that. Stop making silly stories with me as the material.

"Hahaha, sorry, sorry."

"Fufufu, it's good to have youth."

Himiko's grandmother looked at us with warm eyes when we lightly quarreled with each other. Well, this is not a fight and it's normal.

"Then Obaa-san, we'll go first. Sorry for interrupting your activities."

Saying farewell, we immediately continued our jogging until we returned home, washed our bodies, and put on uniforms.

Now I just need to make breakfast and bento (box lunch). But... My hand still hurts. Even when exposed to water earlier it felt very sore. Really, it hurts.

"It's fine to push it a little I guess."

Said I while go headed for the kitchen.

But when I entered the door, I found Kazuto already standing inside while wearing an apron there.

"...Nii-chan, what are you doing here?"

I was a little surprised at his presence in the kitchen.

"What else? Of course helping you cook. Your hands still hurt aren't they?"

He said it like it was an obvious thing.

I've been in charge of cooking in the kitchen for years, ever since I was little. Kazuto does help me sometimes but not much. At the very least, he just helped me put in the ingredients after that watching on the other side, and that only happened during dinner. He never helps in the morning.

"Let me help you cut the vegetables."

He said while holding the knife.

But first, you have to wash the vegetables.

Since Kazuto seems really intent on helping me, then I gladly accept it. We divided the tasks, with Kazuto peeling and cutting while I was boiling and frying. And he's not very skilled so the cut isn't very smooth.

But indeed, my job becomes easier if he is helped like this.

That way, we had breakfast after that. Thanks to my injured right hand, I had a hard time using the chopsticks until Kazuto finally helped by feeding me. And after that, we were ready to go to school.

"? What's wrong Onii-chan?"

At the exit, Kazuto looked at me with sparkling eyes as like expecting something from me.

"Don't you remember what you said to me yesterday?"

he asked with a smirk on his face.

I had a bad feeling when I saw him like that.

"You said if I helped you in the morning you'd give me a kiss, didn't you?"

!! Why is your good memory being used in the wrong place!

Besides, I just said that spontaneously because I was annoyed!

And don't keep looking at me with that evil grin!

No wonder this morning I felt something unusual from him helping me, it turned out that he had such hidden intentions.

I can't run away from my own words, because I'm the one who holds his words.

"Ugh.. Alright. Bow down and close your eyes."
