1 Prologue

My name is Saito Takahashi i am your average high schooler with a bit of a twist in my life. our parents died at car accident 10 years prior when I'm still 6, my sister Suzuki was still 5 at the time. because we don't have any relatives i am the only one she can rely upon.

i grip my chest with my right hand. As i was on the verge on despair a man approached toward us. This man is my teacher Tanaka after he approached us he said.

"Tell me, do you wish to protect your sister and take care of her?"

After he said those words my sister tugged my shirt from behind as i look behind me my sister is crying and having hiccups while trying to speak straight

"Onii-chan *hic* what's going to *hic* happen to us now."

Something inside me snap. (If i let her cry like this my parents won't rest in peace. As her brother i must protect her at all cost!). as i turn around to face her, i kneeled down towards her then i put my hands to her shoulders.

"Suzuki"

I smiled as i wipe her tears off her eyes.

"You don't need to worry, your Onii-chan will take care of everything."

Suzuki's face softened then she hugged me tightly.

*gak!*

"Suzuki....i.... can't breathe."

I tapped her shoulder

"Sorry"

letting go of her hands from me, i then stand back up turning around so i can face my teacher. My teacher smirked "So is it a yes or a no?"

i looked at him and said. "i will protect her and care for as her as his brother."

he grinned. "looks like you mean those words, but." he pointed his finger at me "who will take care of you?"

I flinched "i-" before i could finish speaking the man suddenly walks towards me. He then put his right hand to my left shoulder

"it's ok to take care of everything yourself, BUT." he then put his finger towards my forehead flicking it "oww" i cried "the burden is not for yourself alone" he smiled.

After the funeral our Teacher became our guardian. he will take care of us in place of our parents. Teacher Tanaka is a good man he always cooked delicious food for us and teaches us how to take care of ourselves.

One time while he's teaching me how to wash the dishes i complained to him that the dishes are way too many.

"if you can't do some dishes how can you take care of your sister?!" he crossed his arms. "i can st-" before i can finish speaking he flicked my forehead.

"oww" i looked at him "why do you always have to that!" he then close in on me that i can see his entire face.

"idiot, all the things that i'm teaching you can help you take care of yourself and your sister" he then distanced his face away frome me. "now be obedient." ever since that time i earnestly listen to all the things that he teaches.

After 10 years my teacher told us he is going to leave and he told us something. "I can no longer take care both of you, you're old enough to take care of yourself" he smiled.

"teach-"

he flicked his finger before i could finish my sentence.

"Ow!"

"you really like cutting my sentence with a flick of a finger teacher"

Me and Suzuki looked at each other and nodded.

"thank you so much teacher!"

"that's more like it, here catch"

Tanaka throwed something to me.

"woah." i frantically catched it "that is your money use it wisely ok" He said with a smug attitude.

"i will"

After we saw him off me and Suzuki plan to take a bus towards tokyo. While riding the bus Suzuki sat on my right and asked me.

"why are we going in tokyo?"

i put up 3 fingers "there's 3 things why i choose to go to tokyo" she nodded "ok, and what are those things?" she tilted her head.

"First, School. the school in tokyo is arguably better than the countryside right?" she nodded. "Second Jobs in tokyo, there's bound to be alot of part time jobs i can apply because it's an urban city" her eye's sparkled.

"wow, i didn't know you thinked that far onii-chan"

i laughed "you don't need to be that impressed, anyway the third reason is because of opportunities" she tilted her head "opportunities?" i pointed my finger to the side of the window "yes, opportunities" i smiled. The finger which I'm pointing at is the tokyo city. "wow" Suzuki blurted while looking through the window like a child. "opportunities" Suzuki muttered.
