I Joined the Sentai Heroes Who Were Beautiful Girls Other Than Me but the Heroines Were All Yanderangers

26: Philance Blue is an Older Brother 3

“Well, I…”

My greatest wish is for Himawari to not hurt anyone and to be healthy. But there’s no way that Himawari would understand that if I said it to her now. I can’t say it directly, but I want to say something that will help her avoid the results of her visions as much as possible. But if it’s something too easy or abstract, it will just make her anxious again, so it has to be something with a result that is clear, healthy, and good for Himawari’s emotional education.

It’s a pretty strict set of requirements, but I can think of one safe answer.

“I would be happy if Himawari could save as many people as possible.”

“Save people?”

“Yeah, I’m a guy, so I find cool, heroic justice really appealing. That’s why if Himawari could be active as Philance Yellow and save the lives of lots of people, that would make me happy too. I told you, right ? Love is doing what the other person wants you to do. My wish is for Himawari to become a healthy and standing hero.”

I think that was a pretty good answer for something I came up with on the spot. The Himawari who can see the future has been thinking too much about me and ignoring everything else. If she knows that helping ordinary people will make me happy, maybe she’ll be less likely to try to kill unrelated people.

“A Lipai hero, huh… If I could become the strongest hero, like Philance Red, would big brother be happy? Would you be proud of me as your little sister?”

“Of course!”

Maybe if she gets a lot of gratitude from people, Himawari’s self-esteem will improve a little.

“Oh, but, but. Himawari being safe is the most important thing!”

“…Is it?”

“Of course it is. I think of Himawari as my, well, really important little sister. I’d be worried if you got hurt, right? Don’t overdo it, and just do your best as much as you can.”

It’s not just her indifference to others; her values, which don’t include cherishing herself, are something I want to do something about. Uguisu too, but maybe yandere tend types to have low self-esteem. Momo is the complete opposite, though .

“I see, important little sister, hehehehe.”

That’s good, Himawari’s face has relaxed into a satisfied smile. It’s always embarrassing to play big brother with a girl I just met, but the doctor told me not to “deny it,” so I guess I’ll just be a kind older brother for now.

“If Himawari works hard and becomes a hero of justice who is thanked by lots of people, then I’ll listen to what you want me to do. Is that okay?”

“Wh-What!? M-Me?”

“You don’t have to be so surprised. It’s easier to work hard if you have a reward to look forward to, right?”

“Y-Yeah, II’m sorry. It’s just that, I’m happiest being big brother’s little sister, so I don’t really understand things like rewards.”

Come to think of it, she was really passive when we went to eat parfait together. I get the feeling that Himawari grew up in a really strict household, and she’s not used to being selfish.

“Is there anything you want?”

The heroes get paid themselves pretty well, so I don’t think there’s anything I could get for Himawari that she couldn’t buy after being Philance Yellow for a year.

“What I want is… big brother.”

“Big brother!?”

I didn’t expect to be nominated at all. I’m not in the mood to “give myself as a present”. Or is it something like wanting to meet my real brother? According to the doctor, Himawari seemed to have accepted her family’s death when they met, but maybe deep down the wounds are still unhealed. I’ll ask about Himawari’s family if I get the chance.

“W-well, I can’t think of anything else.”

“Then let’s think about it slowly.”

“U-un… I understand.”

At this rate, it seems like I’ll be asked for a very cute reward.

“Also, if you’re feeling uneasy, you can come to me anytime. No matter how hard it is, I won’t strangle you, okay?”

“I w-won’t. My body belongs to my brother, so I can’t hurt myself.”

I let my guard down a little and another dangerous and heavy word came flying at me, but I have to go to another place today, so I’ll stop correcting her. At least she won’t do anything unreasonable for now as long as she thinks that way. There are no immediate problems, except that if she says the same line in front of someone else, it will be socially over for me.

“Anyway, you can do your best, but don’t push yourself. I like the hero Himawari, but I like the cheerful Himawari even more. Never forget that.”

“Un! I’ll prioritize my energy and help as many citizens as I can. Yeah. I got it.”

She gave me a bright smile that was appropriate for her age, and I was finally relieved. I had put down the ballpoint pen that I had been holding in my hand on the floor. I think I was able to avoid a lot of future problems .

“Well, I have to go now, so eat properly and get a good night’s sleep, okay?”

I think I’m being a bit too motherly, but I have to say this or she might give up on living like a normal human being.

“Yes! I’ll be careful not to worry the doctor either. Bye-bye, brother. Come visit me again, okay?”

And so, the third visit to the Philance Yellow residence came to an end.

I was quite nervous just removing the belt from her neck and getting her to let go of the ballpoint pen, but I think things went well. At first, I felt awkward and regretted it, but I’m glad I saw the future. By considering the contents of the prophecy and clearly conveying my intentions now so that I won’t go there, I should be able to avoid the terrible future.
