Memory loss .


Some called it amnesia, but this wasn’t a complex word, so there was no need for further explanations .


This was a common setup in many games, stories, movies, and so on .


Even Seiji recalled a story or two from his past life about an amnesiac girl descending from the sky; it was a classic scenario . However, he never expected to meet this development in real life .


Shika Kagura had lost her memory .


"Brother~ Hehe…"


Currently, he was sitting on the bed, and the girl beside him clung onto him tightly .


"Kagura…"


She puffed out her cheeks .


"Shika-chan…" Seiji relented .


She smiled again .


"What is it, Brother?"


Seiji’s right cheek twitched violently .


‘What is it, you say? There’s so much I want to comment on!’


But he knew that it wasn’t an appropriate time to blurt out his true thoughts to Shika, who was currently behaving like a little child .


He could only sigh inwardly .


"You… really don’t remember who I am?"


He might as well confirm it one more time to absolutely make sure .


"Brother… you’re my older brother!" Shika blinked her eyes innocently .


Then, her pure and beautiful face flushed slightly red .


"My… brother that I love the most . "


*Boom!*


Seiji suffered from a mental blow… no, a heavy cannon-hit of cuteness! His face began burning up as well .


This was too cute! It was breaking the rules!!


She was clearly the ice-cold archetype a few days before . It was too much of a contrast for her to suddenly transform into a cute character like a sister with a brother complex! Seiji felt like his entire world was turning upside-down!!


He kept up his stream of inner comments in an effort to keep calm, but he felt himself wavering as he looked at Shika’s beautiful face, colored with a mixture of embarrassment and shyness .


Luckily for him, there were bystanders . Without this, he would have trouble retaining his reason .


Natsuya and Hitaka silently watched this situation play out .


The president’s expression seemed calm, but her eyes revealed a hint of iciness .


Natsuya felt slightly annoyed as she watched Shika hug Seiji Haruta tightly with puppy-eyes which begged to be spoiled .


She personally believed that this was due to the unexpectedness of the situation, in addition to… the disgust she felt at how perverted all boys were .


She didn’t detect—or perhaps she didn’t want to think about—the true reason behind her annoyance .


As for Hitaka, she was simply watching this scene calmly .


"Shika-chan, what I mean is… do you remember my name?" Seiji continued questioning her gently .


"Name? Brother is just called Brother~"


‘Fine then; it seems like she’s forgotten me . ’


"Then do you know who they are?" Seiji pointed at the two girls who were watching them silently .


Shika glanced at Natsuya and Hitaka .


"These big sisters are so beautiful! Are they your girlfriends, Brother?"


*Boom!*


Seiji felt like he had received an actual punch… that was how sudden this impact was for him .


Seiji felt like he had received an actual punch… that was how sudden this impact was for him .


Luckily, he had already finished his tea, otherwise he surely would have spat it all over the place .


Natsuya failed to come up with a response to this .


However, she didn’t notice her icy gaze softening upon hearing this question .


"They’re not my girlfriends… Just why would you suddenly say that?"


"Brother, you taught me~"


"Have I really taught you that?"


"Of course, Brother, you’re so forgetful~"


‘I don’t want you of all people to call me forgetful!’ Seiji shouted inside his heart while mentally clutching at his head .


Seiji sighed inwardly, feeling his energy being drained away from his body .


‘Can’t I take a little break from this?’


He used a slight amount of force in an attempt to peel off the girl who was hugging him so tightly, but… he was unable to budge her .


Shika was holding on to him that tightly .


It was as if she was afraid that if she let go, he… or her "older brother" would end up disappearing .


Seiji felt helpless about it, but more than that, he felt pity for her .


"Brother, pat me on the head~" She made another request . "I haven’t seen Brother in so long… I really missed you…"


Seiji’s expression froze over slightly .


Natsuya blinked in anticipation, her eyes fixed firmly on Seiji .


Everyone was silent in the room .


"Brother?" Shika tilted her head questioningly .


Seiji had no choice but to reach out his hand and place it on her head .


"Mmm…"


Shika had a blissful cat-like expression, and she purred softly in satisfaction .


Shika had a blissful cat-like expression, and she purred softly in satisfaction .


A complex helpless yet relieved smile slowly suffused across Seiji’s face when he saw Shika’s content expression .


Natsuya looked deeply at his expression, forcing down her indescribable emotions . She had come to a decision .


"Haruta-kun, I’m going out with Hitaka . You might as well accompany her for a while . "


"President…"


"I’m leaving her to you . I trust that you know what to do… and know what you shouldn’t do . "


Seiji was speechless at the implications behind her words .


Natsuya turned around and exited the room . Hitaka followed right behind her .


And so, they left as they closed the door behind him .


Seiji and Shika were the only ones remaining in this room .


"Brother…"


"Kagura… er, Shika-chan…"


Seiji smiled gently at the girl .


"You told me that you haven’t seen me for so long… Now, I’m right here, and I won’t be going anywhere . "


"Let’s… have a really good chat . "



After Seiji finally managed to extract himself from Shika’s room, he returned to the main hall .


He saw the president standing in his previous position, sipping tea while gazing out the window .


"How is she?" Natsuya asked when she heard his footsteps, turning around to look at him .


‘A 180-degree turn of character… Prez, is this intentional on your part?’


Seiji tugged at his lips .


"She fell asleep . " He walked over to the table and poured himself a cup of tea from the kettle . "I asked her what I could and confirmed that she can’t remember anything .


"All she knew was that—or I should say what she believed—is that she had always been waiting in her home near a snowy mountain, waiting in isolation for her ‘older brother’ to come back . She waited for a long, long time . "


"She fell asleep . " He walked over to the table and poured himself a cup of tea from the kettle . "I asked her what I could and confirmed that she can’t remember anything .


"All she knew was that—or I should say what she believed—is that she had always been waiting in her home near a snowy mountain, waiting in isolation for her ‘older brother’ to come back . She waited for a long, long time . "


Seiji sipped some tea .


"Other than that, there were some personal stories about her family time with her ‘older brother…’ They were just some normal family memories . "


Those were far-off, warm, and blessed memories .


"I suspect… it isn’t purely a case of amnesia . Rather, her true personality which she has been suppressing for so long has finally reappeared . "


Seiji walked besides Natsuya and also gazed outside the window .


"Before, Shika Kagura definitely didn’t seem normal… She always seemed unnaturally calm… almost as if she were devoid of emotions like a normal human .


"But in truth, she was always suppressing herself from a very early age . The current her is what she has always been suppressing… her innermost personality buried deep within her heart . "


The lonely little sister who had always been waiting for her older brother to come back home .


Under that cold and calm outer shell of hers, this was the true personality of the girl named Shika Kagura


Natsuya remained silent for a few moments .


Finally, she ended up sighing .


"I sympathize with her plight . However, there’s a practical problem facing us…"


No memories meant that she would be unable to supply them any information .


No information meant the situation was still a terrible one!


Seiji obviously understood this .


"We’ll have to… find some method to make her return to normal . "


Make that girl return to how she was .


Seiji had complex feelings about this .


But even he could see that it wasn’t good to leave her in her current state . They should do something about her .


"I can investigate it… then try something . " Natsuya’s eyes flashed with light as she looked at the boy beside her . "It’s just that… she might end up getting hurt . "
