179話 恥ずか死ぬ
信じられない。
兄さんの部屋にいた彼女が目に入った瞬間、ボクの心情はそんな気持ちでいっぱいになってしまう。
一瞬ゲームの中に入ってしまったのかと錯覚してしまう程、ボクは動転していた。
やかに輝く白銀の長髪は、ゲームで見るよりも絹のように滑らかで柔らかそう。
その銀髪に負けないぐらい、透き通った白い肌はもう眩しくて
彼女の瞳が、やっぱりゲームのキャラなんかよりも数段に綺麗だから。
宝石の王様、ダイヤモンド。その中でも更に希少とされる、
「あの、虫カゴ......落としたよ?」
夢にまで見た少女が。
ゲームの中にしかいないはずの存在が。
どうしてか目の前にいて、ボクの虫カゴを手渡そうとしている。
くんって、ほんとに、なにが起こってるの?
タロちゃんが、天使さまが現実にいるだけでも、もう何が何だかなのに。
「は、はいっ!」
脳の処理速度が追いつかないまま、ボクは反射的に彼女に返事をしながら、虫カゴを受け取る。
そこでボクは気付く。
兄さんが、ボクを事前に紹介してくれていた?
だから、純くんなんて呼び方をしたのかな?
あぁ、もうどうしよう。
よくわからないけど、すごく、すごく嬉しい。
恥ずかしい。恥ずかしいけれど、こんなチャンス、こんな偶然、めったにない事だから。普段のボクなら絶対にこんな大それた言葉を、女子に送ろうなんて思わないだろうけど。
「あ、の......お名前を聞いても、いいですか?」
彼女を目の前にしたら聞かずにはいられない。
ちょっとつっかえてしまったけど、しっかり言えたはず。
タロちゃんの本名を聞いた後に、ボクが実はクラン・クランで一緒に遊んでいるジュンヤだって事を明かしたら、どうなるのかな。タロちゃんは喜んでくれるだろうか。だったらいいな。
そんな淡い期待と幸せな未来を想像したのも束の間で......横から現れた女性に目を向けた瞬間、ボクの夢想は粉々に砕かれてしまった。
「ほぉーう、いい度胸だな。少年?」
まるで恐怖の女王さまだ。
とても綺麗なお姉さんだけど、その表情は般若で......口元は笑っているのに、目は笑ってない。
全ての幸福を狩り取る死の女神さまみたいで......その冷徹な瞳に睨まれてしまったボクは、恐怖のあまりに足をつっかえてしまう。そのままタロちゃんの前で、無様にも後ろへと転んでしまった。
「えっと、うちの姉がなんだか威圧してしまってゴメンね」
タロちゃんはお姉さんを押し退けて、尻持ちをついてしまったボクを気遣ってくれる。
「い、いえ。お姉さんでしたか」
タロちゃんにはお姉さんがいたんだ。って、本当の姉妹なのかな?
どう見てもタロちゃんって外人さんっぽいんだけど......お姉さんは日本人だし?
複雑な家庭環境なのかな。あんまりつっこんだ質問はしない方がいいかも?
というより、タロちゃんのお姉さんって凄く怖い。
うあぁ......今でもボクを射殺さんばかりの形相で睨みつけてきてるし。
あっ、タロちゃんが振り向くとにこやかなお姉さんになってる。あっ、タロちゃんが見てないと、ヒィィィッ。
無駄に器用な顔面変換を行う恐怖のお姉さんだ。
でも、これは
こんなに強そうなお姉さんがタロちゃんの傍にいるなら、変な男子は近寄り難いだろうし? ライバルも牽制できる......ってボクは何を考えてるんだ......。
「姉は純くんと会うの初めてだよね? って俺もこの姿では初めましてか......」
なんだろう?
よくわからないけれど、タロちゃんのそんな台詞で空気が重くなった気がする?
兄さんの方を見れば、ボクに苦笑いを向けている。
驚くな? だっけ。
ごめん兄さん、そんなの無理だったよ。だって相手がタロちゃんなんだもん。
でもあれ、こうして晃夜兄さんが自分の家に連れて来てるって事は......タロちゃんとは知り合いなのか。どうして兄さんとタロちゃんが現実で知り合いなのか不思議だ。
タロちゃんが桜色の唇をほんの少し噛む。
その仕草は何かを堪えるような、勇気を振り絞るような行いに見えて。
彼女のそんな動作一つが、純真無垢な天使さまのようで、ドキリと心臓が高鳴ってしまう。
「......俺は、
うん、タロちゃんの名前は仏訊太郎って言う、ん......だ?
ええと、うん?
フツ、ジンタロウ......?
仏くんの妹さんとか? でも兄妹で全く同じ名前なんてちょっと変じゃないかな?
兄さんのお友達の妹さんだったり?」
「うーうん、違うんだ純くん。たまに、晃夜の家に遊びに来た時、一緒に遊んだりした仏訊太郎なんだ、俺」
何を言ってるのかな、この子は。
理解に苦しむ言動を聞いて、ボクは助けを求めて兄さんの方に顔を向ける。
すると兄さんは、眼鏡の位置をしきりになおし始めた。
数秒後、タロちゃんの顔色を
「えっ」
良く分からない事を言う兄さんに、『大丈夫、俺から言えるから』とタロちゃんが頷いて、ボクへと再びその美顔を向けてくる。
「困惑しちゃうよね......俺って性転化病っていう奇病にかかっちゃって。今はこんな姿になってしまって......それでも! 姿形は変わっても、キミのお兄さんの友達である仏訊太郎だから、よろしく!」
性転化病......?
たしかテレビのニュースで、日本国内で数名の学生達がかかったって、ちょっと前に話題になってたけど、え......!?
少し地味だけど、毎回うちに遊びに来るとボクの昆虫採集の話を真剣に聞いてくれた、あの気さくな
こんな美少女になっちゃったって事!?
最高か!
自分がもし突然、女子になんてなってしまったら......悩むどころの騒ぎじゃないや......。
それに、あれ? ってことは、ボクは仏くんの事が気になってるわけで......晃夜兄さんの友達、男の先輩を好いてるって事?
でも今は女子なわけだけど、元々は男の子で......。
あれ、なんか複雑?
ボクの気持ちは優しい男の先輩が好き? でも、異性としてもタロちゃ、仏くんの事を意識してて......?
「やっぱり、ビックリしちゃうよね。気味悪いって思うのも仕方ない事だけど、できたら今まで通り接してくれると嬉しい、かな」
「いえいえ、けっこん、けっこうビックリしてしまいましたけど!
何気なく口から出てしまった仏くんのキャラ名に、ご本人様が素早く反応してくれる。この流れは自然に言えると思い、ボクがゲーム内で一緒に遊んでいたジュンヤだと、伝えておく。
「おっ、なんだお前ら。クラン・クラン内で一緒に遊んでたのかよ」
「へぇー、そんな偶然ってあるものなんだねぇ。ちょっとビックリだよ」
晃夜兄さんや朝比奈くんが、ボクたちの偶然に感心してる中。
タロちゃんだけは、仏くんだけは石像のように硬直していた。
「あぁぁああぁッ、あう......ぁぁ」
その後、なぜだか奇声を発したタロちゃんは、あわあわと自分の両頬に手を添え、ふるふると全身が震え出した。
親友の弟にあんな事を連発し、あんな事を宣言しまくったなんて、とブツブツ言いだして頭を抱えるタロちゃ、
さらさらと清水のように流れる銀髪に、顔を隠すように俯いてしまう。
うーん、動揺っぷりが本当に天使です。
「恥ずか死ぬ」
そうして顔を真っ赤にしてうずくまってしまった、ボクの小さな先輩は......とっても可愛らしいです。
「おい、うちの太郎に何をしてくれたんだ? 詳しく聞こうか」
こっちのお姉さんは怖いです。
181 179 Stories, Shame Or Death.
I don't believe it.
The moment she was in my brother's room, my mood filled with those feelings.
I was so moved that I was under the illusion that I was in the game for a moment.
Brilliant, but silver-shiny long hair looks silky smoother and softer than you can see in the game.
To the extent that the silver hair is unbeatable, the clear white skin is already dazzled and the eyelids (eyelids) are about to close. But I can't help but notice as if I've been cursed. I don't know. I've decided that.
Because her eyes are a few steps prettier than the character of the game after all.
King of gems, diamonds. Even more rare of these, blue (blue) diamonds are said to cause disaster to their owners, and can be derived from the supreme stone of the curse. The color of her eyes is just as beautiful as such a blue (blue) diamond, and there's a curse that attracts her to its paleness, no matter what they say, I'm going to believe it.
"Um, bug basket... I dropped it, didn't I?
A girl I even dreamed of.
There's only one presence in the game that should be there.
Somehow he's right in front of me and he's trying to hand me my basket of bugs.
What's really going on?
Talo, even if the angel is just in reality, what is it now?
"Ha, ha!
Without keeping up with the processing speed of my brain, I receive a basket of insects as I respond to her reflexively.
That's where I realize.
Could you have introduced me in advance?
So, what did you call me, Jun-kun?
Oh, what am I gonna do now?
I don't know, but I'm so, so happy.
It's embarrassing. It's embarrassing, but it's such a chance, such a coincidence, so rarely. I wouldn't normally send such a big word to a girl.
"Oh, of... may I ask your name, please?
If I put her in front of me, I can't help but ask.
I got a little caught up, but I should have been able to say it firmly.
After hearing Taro's real name, I wonder what will happen if he reveals that I'm actually Junya playing with Clan Clan. Will Taro be happy? I hope so.
It was also between bundles that I imagined such a pale expectation and a happy future... the moment I turned my eyes to the woman who emerged from the side, my dreams were shattered.
"Ho ho, you have good guts. Boy?"
You're like the Queen of Fears.
She's a very beautiful sister, but her expression is generous... her mouth is laughing, but her eyes are not.
I'm like a goddess of death hunting all happiness... I'm stuck in those cold eyes, and I catch too much of my feet of fear. As it was in front of Taro, she unnecessarily fell backwards.
"Uh, I'm sorry my sister got kind of intimidated."
Taro pushes her sister away and cares about me for holding her ass.
"Yes, no. Was it your sister?"
Taro had a sister. Is that a true sister?
Whatever you think, Taro sounds like an outsider... and your sister is Japanese?
I wonder if it's a complex home environment. Maybe I shouldn't ask too many stuck questions?
Rather than that, Talo's sister is terribly scared.
Ugh... he's still staring at me in the shape of a bunch of shooters.
Oh, Taro turns around and she's a snobby sister. Oh, if Taro hasn't seen it, hippie.
She is a sister of fear who performs dexterous facial transformations in vain.
But maybe this is a survival.
Weird boys would be hard to get close to if you had such a strong looking sister beside you, Taro? What am I thinking about being able to restrain my rivals...
"My sister's never met Jun-kun, has she? Haven't I seen you like this before..."
What is it?
I'm not sure, but I think Talo's such dialogue has made the air heavier?
If you look at your brother, he's smiling at me.
Don't be surprised?
I'm sorry, brother, I couldn't do that. Because the other guy is Talo.
But that means that this is how Mr. Shaky Night is bringing him to his house... do you know Taro? Wonder how your brother and Taro know each other in real life.
Taro bites her cherry blossom lips just a little.
The trick seemed like a courageous act to indulge in.
One of her movements is like an innocent, innocent angel, with a beating heart.
"... I am Shintaro, the Buddha."
Yeah, Taro says his name is Taro Buddha, huh...?
Uh, yeah?
Futs, gintalou......?
Like Buddha's sister? But isn't it a little weird that you're brothers and sisters with the exact same name?
"Uh, Buddha Shintaro? Is that your brother's friend's sister?
"Uh-huh, no, Jun-kun. Occasionally, when I came to visit you at the shaky night house, I played with you, Taro Buddha, me."
I wonder what you're talking about, this kid.
Listening to words and deeds that suffer from understanding, I turn to my brother for help.
Then his brother began to reposition his glasses firmly.
A few seconds later, he tried to look at Taro's complexion and explained it to me.
"Eh."
Talo nodded to his brother, "It's okay, because you can tell from me," and he turned his beautiful face to me again.
"You're confused... I suffer from a strange disease called sexually transmitted diseases. This is what I look like now...... still! Even if you change your appearance, it's Taro Buddha, your brother's friend, so say hello!
Sexually Transmitted Disease......?
But on TV news, we talked about a few students in Japan a while back, but, uh...!?
It's a little plain, but every time you come to visit us, you listen seriously to me about my insect collection, that casual Buddha (two)? He asked me if I was proud of the specimen, that kind Buddha!?
You mean you've become such a beautiful girl!?
That's great!
If I suddenly become a girl... it's not the noise that bothers me...
And that? So I'm worried about Buddha... and he likes his friends and his senior men?
But now I'm a girl, but I was originally a boy...
Is that complicated?
Do I feel like a gentle man's senior? But even as a heterosexual, Taro, be aware of Buddha...?
"I knew you'd be surprised. I can't help but think it's creepy, but I'm glad you're treating me the way you've always been, if you can."
"No, Cool, I'm so surprised! Was Taro (...) a Buddha (two)! Nice to meet you!"
The person responds quickly to the character name of Buddha, who casually came out of his mouth. I think this flow can be said naturally, and I'll tell him that it was Junya I was playing with in the game.
"Whoa, what are you guys. We were playing together in the Clan Clan."
"Heh, there's such a coincidence. I'm a little surprised."
While my brothers and Asahi Binakun are impressed by our coincidence.
Only Taro, only Buddha was as rigid as a stone statue.
"Ahhh, ahh... ahh"
Then, for some reason, Taro exclaimed strangely, putting her hands on both her awesomeness and her own cheeks, her whole body trembling as she sifted.
I can't believe I kept saying that to my best friend's brother and proclaimed that all the time. Talo with his head, Buddha.
I lean down to hide my face in silver hair that flows like saggy fresh water.
Um, upset is really the angel.
"Shame or death"
That's how I turned my face bright red and nodded, my little senior...... very cute.
"Hey, what have you done to our Taro? Shall I hear more?"
My sister over here is scared.
