Chapter 4 - My Little Sister's Painting Is Too Beautiful

"Nananananana..."

A pleasant tune sounded from Soyoka.

His first week in kindergarten was over, and every time she came home, she always sings back the songs she learned in kindergarten, so I'm really looking forward to hearing him every day.

Moreover, Soyoka's singing voice is like an angel's. In the future, maybe she will become a diva.

If I record his voice and send it to the record company, won't she be able to debut right away? Having a lot of talent is terrible.

His upperclassman's rendition of the song "New Student Welcoming Party" seems to be very impressive to him, so she kept repeating it at home. She couldn't remember the lyrics, so only part of the melody he repeated over and over again.

"You sing so well Soyoka!"

"Aitou!"

TL/N: Arigatou I mean.

"Your thanks are cute too, Soyoka!"

I feel both happy and lonely when I think that she will be able to say more and more vocabulary in the future. The time when he could speak fluently would not be long.

"Can Soyoka repeat the song again? Because I want to record it on video."

"Do not want "

"Come on, Soyoka! Ah, looks like I'll have to install surveillance cameras all over the house..."

Yes, I will record all Soyoka's growth at home. And I will also install it in kindergarten! Hehehe...

"Onii-chan is acting weird again."

Soyoka who looked at me disdainfully also looked cute!

When I'm doing homework, Soyoka usually watches TV or plays with her toys. I'm relieved that Soyoka is okay when I'm not watching her.

I glanced at the TV and saw that "Koisuru Minisuka-chan", an anime that Soyoka became addicted to, was being broadcast.

TL/N: Miniskirt-chan.

|| "Shirt-san, I saw you! I saw you with Jeans-san on the mannequin!"

|| "Are you trying to accuse me of having an affair, Miniskirt-chan?"

|| "Am I wrong?"

|| "What a hassle...I'll be home late again today. I don't need a great night from you."

|| "...Okay. I-I see."

As usual, what kind of anime is this...?! This is not a spectacle that a child should see. This is similar to a romance anime that airs during the day except for the characters who are everyday wear.

By the way, the boss is a male character while the subordinate is a female character.

"Poor thing, Minisuka-chan..."

Soyoka looked so emotional that she wiped her tears with her sleeve.

She's very sensitive. Can kindergarten children understand the story of this drama?

Minisuka-chan is said to be mysteriously popular because of her cute character and very solid storyline. This anime has a reputation that can be enjoyed by both adults and children

Some of the girls in my class are also following this anime, and sometimes their conversations enter my ears.

There are many characters in it, and the main character is Minisuka-chan, Shirt-san's wife, who has an affair with him.

|| "Shirt-san... I won't give up! I will definitely prove that I am the most suitable for you!"

The story ended when Minisuka-chan made up her mind. But, I don't understand this

"....I think it's time to prepare dinner."

"Yes!"

My mother worked late into the night too today.

My house is too big to live alone with Soyoka, so we only use the other floor.

Soyoka, who was sprinting from the living room, rushed to the fridge with a big smile on her face. It's because I just went shopping for groceries earlier.

Thanks to our parents who work without rest, so we don't have to worry about financial problems. But still, it's hard for us to stay alone. Luckily, I can do my best for Soyoka.

"I want eat steak!"

"No steak today. How about stir-fry meat and vegetables?"

"I don't want to eat it if Onii-chan puts green peppers in it..."

She looked at me as if she was watching every vegetable I picked up from the fridge.

Cabbage, carrots, onions… she was monitoring the vegetables lined up on the cutting board, and his facial expression turned to one of despair as the peppers appeared. His eyes opened wide and trembled.

"Cruel..."

"Where did you learn words like that?"

"If I eat green peppers, I'll turn green too!"

"Haha, how could that be..."

Well, it can't be helped. Let's make today's meal without using peppers.

When I put it back in the fridge, Soyoka's smile started to return. Her fickle expression is so cute that I can't help but tease her all the time.

Soyoka then hurriedly brought a stool and stood in front of the sink.

"Let me do it!"

Soyoka said so while raising both her hands. Then, I rolled up her sleeves while smiling at how cute she was. And finally, I washed my hands thoroughly and I told him to help me.

"Then maybe I'll have you wash the cabbage."

"Okay~"

I put the mouth-sized cabbage into the colander and handed it to Soyoka.

Lately, she's been helping me a lot. I love watching him start to grow up, both mentally and physically.

Because it's not safe to use a knife, so his role now is to wash the vegetables.

"Wouldn't she make a good wife in the future… wait, what?! I won't let her marry anyone."

"Onii-chan is talking to himself first."

I sauteed the meat and vegetables roughly and seasoned them with salt and pepper and consomme. This is a simple man-style dish.

I put all the side dishes on the wide table and sat side by side with Soyoka.

"Thank you for the food!"

Using a fork for the children, I feed him little by little.

"Delicious~

I don't think it was in vain that I made it, because he ate it voraciously.

"Is kindergarten fun?"

"Yes! Because I draw there!"

"Wait, where's your drawing? Quickly hand it over to me, because I'll scan it, laminate it and put it on permanent display!"

Soyoka's painting is a masterpiece!

"I threw it away."

I vomited blood when shee said that in a light tone.

Apparently, I had to infiltrate the kindergarten and rummage through the trash to secure the masterpiece. No, no. It would make me look like a real villain instead.

I finally decided to finish my dinner and clear the table. And after that, I handed Soyoka the paper and crayons.

"Does Soyoka want to draw at home too?"

"Eh?"

"I'll give you my pudding later."

"Oke!"

The deal is done. Soyoka threw herself on the carpet and held the black crayon while shaking her leg.

"Her hand doesn't waver. Is she a real genius...?"

I'm not sure what she's drawing. However, there is no doubt that epic masterpieces are being created.

Gradually, the shape began to show.

“Oh, that person… no way! Is this a picture Iku.”

Iku........

My hands were shaking from the severe shock. Since when did you two become so close?

Looking back, today it seemed that he was also playing with Iku when I picked him up...

Because Akiyama and I picked him up at almost the same time, so the two of them were put in the same daycare as well.

This is cheating! Even though I asked him to draw, but instead she was drawn. Iku Akiyama, I will not forgive you! You have made me your enemy now!

While I was burning in competition, Soyoka continued the drawing. Even though the picture isn't that great, but I can clearly see that she's enjoying playing with the equipment. Even the person she draw also looked happy. Ah, why wasn't I there...?

"It's finished!"

"As expected from Soyoka! Too genius! Even though I wanted to, but I was annoyed that Iku was the model… ah, Soyoka! Why don't you just draw your sister next time."

"Soka is tired. Soka wants to watch anime first."

Soyoka threw her crayon and went to the sofa.

Needless to say, I then asked him to draw me another painting.

Later, the illustration I had gotten on the condition that I would give him more pudding during the week, was framed and displayed in my room.
