Gimme Agree ch7-2

Agurii.
Aguriii.
She's acting like I'm the one who died.

Uuh.
Uuh.

...Nee-san's
gonna cry again.

The should be about the right size for a coffin.

A goldfish's corpse

should be left overnight.

I'm sure Nee-san
will miss you at first glance.

I got my fridge from my dead grandparents.

It broke ages ago, so it's nothing more than a cold box right now.

It'd be awkward if I used Nee-san's fridge.
In this case, it probably doesn't matter if it's cold or not.

If you want something to be cold, but it in the fridge.
Those prayers and actions are important.

This is a funeral that's waiting for Nee to take part in, after all.

Tomorrow, I'll apologise,
suggest we bury the goldfish together,
and then...

I can't stay calm.

...Come to think of it, it's been a while since I've had a night with no noise coming from the second floor.

Without me knowing, she quit her job,
changed her phone,
and started keeping goldfish.

The Nee-san I know was a crybaby.

What exactly do I want?

I'm home~

Ah...

Nee-san.
...Um...

I see.
...I'm sorry.

...Hey...
Erm...

Thanks for looking after them.

Nee-san.
About the goldfish...

What's wrong, Aguri?

There's no point in worrying about a dead goldfish.
It's fine.

I got those from a festival stand. These things happen.
Wait, are goldfish something you bury?
Or did you take care of it already?

...It's fine.
?

...
It's nothing.

I'll bury them myself.

...Flowers.
Oh, these?
I figured I'd change up the offering.

They're artificial, so they won't wilt.

p10

You can have the old ones.

I'm getting married, so have this in place of a bouquet.
I'll be leaving this house soon, so take care of things.

HUH~?

Sis didn't cry at all.
The fish I left overnight
became a little syrupy.

p11

Well, not that it matters.

Okay, I'll take the flourescent lamp.
There's nothing else I particularly want.
We're not holding a ceremony, so I probably won't see you for a while.

p12

You got enough clothes.
It's fine. They don't suit me anyway.
Don't you gotta wear apparel from your own place?

Didn't I tell you?
I quit that place three months ago.

...Same here.

I never mentioned this,
but when you flush the toilet on the 2nd floor,
it smells like shit downstairs every time.

Huh? I had no idea.
You only ever come downstairs to use the bath, after all.

p13

When I glanced at Nee-san's face,
it looked completely different from my memories,
like she was a total stranger.

And here I thought I was always looking at her.

It's still your turn to tidy the garden,
so do it when you get home next time.
Eh~

p14

Come to think of it,
this is my first time looking down like this.

p15

I skipped on tidying the garden again today.
The weeds have grown like a tree,
so the point where I can touch them from the 2nd floor.

p16

Kuguhara Aguri the Little Sis

Ah.

I need
to wash my hands.
The reddish purple juices of the American Pokeweed were hard to wash out.
