Akino Kazuko’s Self-Account
I am Akino Kazuko, the busybody system Akino Kazuko who worries every day about her brainless host Liang Sheng.
Kazuko, Kazuko! What was our Law One again?
“See for yourself.”
“Kazuko, Kazuko! Do you think Su Ze wants to kill me right now?”
……I’m not Su Ze!
“Kazuko, Kazuko! Do you think Senior Sister Gu Yuqi is better, or Little Flower Hana~?”
“This… as long as you’re happy.”
“Kazuko! Kazuko! Who should we target next?”
“How about…” (Interrupted)
Kazuko, Kazuko! Have you seen where I put our TV remote?
“Y-You… why do you have to ask me about something like this?!”
Yes, apart from being a bit more reliable and having slightly higher emotional intelligence in emergencies, she has no other redeeming qualities left. Everything still has to rely on the ever-reliable me—the Favorability System Akino Kazuko.
That day, Liang Sheng gossiped about my business, asking if I’d ever liked someone. I froze, the images of 108 miss sisters flashing through my mind, and finally shook my head.
As a result, this guy…
“Eh~ So you don’t like me~?”
This guy actually leaned in so close! Right up to my face! I can even feel his breath.
“Get lost!” I gave her a big slap.
“Really, it was just a joke—why’d you get so mad?” That guy clutched his face, mumbling under his breath like he’d suffered some huge injustice.
I’m super pissed too, um, yeah, I blushed—it’s from being angry! Suddenly leaning in that close, of course it’d… make anyone really shy, okay! And besides… Liang Sheng this girl’s looks totally hit my XP spot-on, okay!
Take a deep breath, then slowly exhale.
Of course, that’s not the only reason.
After all, when Liang Sheng suddenly drew close just now, in the haze, I seemed to see… my sister.
My sister, she too has those big, big eyes—watery and sparkling, with curly lashes. Every time she blinks, my heart skips a beat.
“Sister…”
I miss my sisters.
My big sister Akino Haruko is the gentlest, always gently draping a coat over me when I’m asleep—even though we systems don’t catch colds, she says this sense of ritual is still necessary.
Second Sister Akino Hoshiko has a very lively personality. She often stayed with me and took me to see many mountains and seas. Before our last parting, she even pinky promised me, saying she would definitely take me to see the sunset again in the future.
My third sister, Akino Mitsuko, doesn’t like to talk much and is very quiet. Even when I’m making a racket next to her, she never complains about the noise. She just sits quietly beside me reading her book, occasionally lifting her head to glance at me before lowering it to continue. But when I get up and walk away, she’ll close her book and follow right after, just like a knight guarding me.
My fourth sister, Akino Wakako, often ignores me, but when I’m crying secretly, she’ll hand me a tissue and then scold me with, “No crying, you look ugly when you do.”
My fifth sister, Akino Reiko, is a total scatterbrain, but she remembers every single thing I entrust her with, as well as my birthday, crystal clear.
My sisters took such good care of me, although… sometimes they were a bit strange.
Big Sis often crawls under the covers after tucking me in, hugs my waist, and sleeps with me.
Second Sis frequently kisses my cheek, saying it’s a “promise kiss” and totally normal between sisters.
When Third Sis gets tired from reading, she likes to rest her head on my shoulder or lie across my lap for a long time.
Fourth Sis always gives me a displeased look when I’m playing around with the other sisters, and sometimes she’ll drag me aside and call me childish.
Fifth Sis takes the cake for weird—she gave me… um, this thing… y’know… on one of my birthdays. This thing… can we even mention this on air? We can’t talk about stuff like this…
“Your face was so red just now. Were you embarrassed?” Liang Sheng’s words snapped me back to reality.
“Go away!”
I was just thinking about my sisters.
Sister Hoshiko…
She looks the most like Sister Mitsuko, even though their personalities are polar opposites, and even though they sometimes butt heads.
But Sister Mitsuko… I’ll never see her again.
Liang Sheng’s eyes look just like Sister Mitsuko’s too.
Before Sister Mitsuko disappeared, she cupped my face and left a gentle kiss on my lips.
Perhaps…
Perhaps.
I don’t have to call her “sister” either.
Now that she’s gone, I can’t let Sister Hoshiko disappear too.
I love my sisters so much. I want to be with them forever. Although… three of my sisters are already gone. I’ll do everything to protect the remaining two, even if it costs my own life.
