Chapter 39: Dream?

I don’t know why, but I’m now in a dark, eerie environment, my body bound by ropes, unable to move.

The surroundings are pitch black, without a single sound, eerily silent.

Suddenly, a sharp creak of a door broke the silence.

A young girl in the prime of her youth walked in.

As she approached, I could barely make out her face—it was my younger sister, Guiyue.

“Guiyue? What’s going on? Why am I here? Can you untie the ropes first?”

For some reason, Guiyue looked at me with a smile, but that smile carried an inexplicable, sickly aura.

I didn’t understand why she was smiling like that, but I had no choice but to ask her for help.

“Sure thing~ I’ll untie the ropes on you, big sister. After all, you can’t resist anyway, and the ropes are kind of in the way, aren’t they?”

The way Guiyue spoke felt unfamiliar, completely different from the sister I remembered, making me question whether the person in front of me was truly the Guiyue I knew.

For some reason, as she untied the ropes, Guiyue kept brushing against my private areas.

Was this supposed to be normal contact between girls?

Soon, the ropes were undone, but I didn’t feel free.

For some reason, Guiyue now exuded a strong, ominous aura, and the inexplicable pressure made it hard for me to even breathe.

“Y-you… do you know how to get out of here?”

Something was very wrong with Guiyue.

I don’t know why, but I could sense a dangerous vibe emanating from her.

Though I didn’t understand why she had become like this, I felt the most important thing right now was to escape this creepy, ominous place.

The girl didn’t respond and silently approached, wrapping her arms around me.

“Um, Guiyue, do you know how to leave this place?”

Looking at the silent Guiyue, I repeated my question and tentatively glanced up at her.

But I found her staring at me, her eyes filled with a sick, fanatical intensity, scaring me into quickly lowering my head.

W-why did things turn out like this?!

“I know how to get out of here~ But if you want to leave, big sister…”

The girl paused mid-sentence, her hands beginning to slide under my skirt, her fingertips lightly teasing that spot.

She leaned close to my ear, whispering each word slowly:

“You have to offer your most precious thing to the sister who loves you the most~ You have to love me forever~”

Offer my most precious thing to my sister?!

“I-I’ve always loved you, haven’t I? Isn’t that enough? So please, let me go.”

“No~”

Guiyue gently pressed her finger against my lips, shaking her head lightly.

“The love you have for me now is just as a sister. But you know, if things go on like this, sooner or later, someone will take you away from me~”

As she spoke, her fingers, which had been teasing that spot, began moving toward an even stranger place.

I tried to stop her hand, but the difference in strength made it futile.

An itchy sensation spread across my skin, slowly draining the little strength I had left.

Unable to stop her directly, I suppressed my fear, trying my best to keep my body from trembling, and made another attempt to persuade her.

“No, this isn’t okay! We can’t do this!”

“Not okay? But your body’s already reacting, big sister. My hand’s all wet now.”

Her fingers parted that place, delving deeper, about to touch that thin, fragile barrier—the most precious thing I had as a girl.

I started to regret it.

I shouldn’t have come with that stupid loli in the first place.

It was her messing around abroad that led to Mom’s remarriage proposal, and now I’m getting dragged into this mess too?

“No… please don’t. It really isn’t okay. If you do this, I’ll hate you forever!”

With no other options, I could only threaten Guiyue, hoping she’d let me go.

At my words, Guiyue paused her movements.

Did it work?

But to my surprise, after a brief pause, she resumed her actions.

“Hate me forever then. You wouldn’t love me anyway. As long as I can keep you by my side, nothing else matters.”

With that, she sped up, the intense sensation reducing me to a limp puddle in her arms.

“No… please stop, I’m begging you~”

With no options left, I began to cry, sobbing and pleading with the Guiyue holding me.

“Here it comes~ This way, your first time will be taken by me.”

Her hand pressed harder, aiming for that thin barrier.

“No… don’t… aaahhh…”

My vision… began to fade to black.

…

“Big sister?”

In the darkness, a familiar girl’s voice called out.

I slowly opened my eyes, and a blinding light greeted me.

There was my sister Guiyue, looking at me with concern.

“Did I fall asleep just now?”

After waking up, I found myself lying on Guiyue’s lap.

The surroundings were no longer that terrifying, eerie place but a gazebo.

The only difference was that it was now noon, and the sun was blazing brightly.

“Did you have a nightmare, big sister?”

Guiyue still looked at me with worry, taking a tissue from her pocket to gently wipe the sweat from my face.

I was still a bit dazed, recalling the nightmare I’d just had.

What a strange dream.

Why would I dream of Guiyue acting like that?

“Where are they?”

“Mom and Dad finished their remarriage and went back. I stayed here waiting for you to wake up.”

“Are you going back alone now?”

“Go back? Wouldn’t I just be a third wheel? They haven’t seen each other in so long, they’re definitely going to want some alone time. So, can I stay at your place tonight?”

Though that white-haired loli had said my first time was almost taken by Guiyue, I didn’t sense anything unusual from her.

That loli was probably lying.

“Not okay? Then I’ll just find a hotel to stay at.”

“It’s… it’s fine. My place is small, though, so don’t complain.”

After spending time with her, I saw no trace of the sickly behavior from the dream or the coldness from before my rebirth.

So, what’s the harm in letting her stay for a night?

Still, why did that dream feel so real?
