Love Advice for First Heroine, Asuka

"Asuka-Chan... Do... Do you love your brother?" Saki asks as she sits on the desk, swinging her tiny legs below while looking at Asuka.

Meanwhile, Asuka sat straight in her seat and despite having repeatedly requested by Asuka to not sit on the desk, the young girl persists, seemingly oblivious to the suggestion.

But after a while, Asuka had grown accustomed to this behavior and while she occasionally reminds Saki not to sit there, it's not a priority at the moment.

It's been a year and a half since they became friends and their friendship has blossomed like a budding flower, and now, in their second year, the two of them are in the same class, spending more time together and solidifying their bond as best friends.

However, even though they've become best friends, Asuka never tells Saki that she loves her brother and always speaks about him in a bad way, so now the question is, how did Saki know?

"What ... what are you talking about? He is an idiot, and I don't like him," Asuka replies, her cheeks slightly flushed red as she tries to maintain a serious expression.

"But how is he an idiot? He always comes first in exams," Saki counters.

"No... He... He is only good at studying; otherwise, he is an idiot," Asuka retorts, her embarrassment growing with every counter question from Saki.

"How? He is the best in sports, he is cute, and lots of girls talk to him. How is he an idiot? I can't really understand this part of you," Saki says, shaking her head.

Asuka's face flushes even more, feeling embarrassed and exposed.

"You don't have to lie. Your eyes look the same as mine when I look at my brother," Saki expresses.

"Huh?" Asuka is taken aback by Saki's insight, finding it hard to believe, "But that's wrong," she protests.

"Well... Yes, that's wrong," Saki admits and falls silent.

"Saki," Asuka's face becomes sad knowing that what she was doing was also wrong.

"Saki... Can you help me with something?" Asuka implores.

"With what??

"Help me fall for another guy," Asuka requests, looking at Saki for support.

We're at the park, Saki and I. It's our first time since our first visit here. And as soon as we arrive, Saki rushes to the slide and kicks it.

After that, she looks at me sheepishly and says, "I'm sorry, I didn't know that on a slide we were supposed to slide and not run. Because of that, we fell down last time."

"I'm surprised you still remember," I remark with a chuckle.

"Of course, I'll never forget that as long as I live," she replies with flushed cheeks before noticing someone behind me and calls out, "Oh, Asuka-Chan, you're here!"

"Well, you are the one who invited me," a voice responds from behind my back and I turn around to find a cute girl dressed in a dark top and pants with red eyes with black hair loosely flowing around her.

I look around for the protagonist, but he is nowhere to be seen. Did Asuka come alone?

"Little brother... today I invited Asuka-Chan over. She wants to ask for some advice," Saki explains as she comes beside me.

I take a look at Saki and then at Asuka, whose face is flushed red and can't help but wonder what's going on with her.

Since the two are in the same class, they seem to get along well with each other and I also hope that it stays that way and that Asuka and Saki don't experience the same thing that happened in the game. I'll make sure that anything like that never happens. And as I recall the dream, a shiver runs down my spine; I don't want that to happen either.

"Urgh... it's... embarrassing," with her face still red, Asuka stammers as she struggles to speak, but after taking a deep breath she manages to say in one go, "I love my brother so much, even though he is my brother, I want him more than anyone. This feeling is just too weird, so... So I want you to help me... help me so I can fall for another guy." Asuka's face and ears turned dark red by the time she finished while she looked down with her eyes closed, clearly too embarrassed to even look at anything.

I am a bit taken aback. Although I knew that she loved her brother, but this early?

They are what? Six years? Do six-year-olds even understand love?

What the hell am I even thinking, has the TV and internet these days made them aware of love earlier or is it just this game designed this way?

In the game, Asuka doesn't doubt her feelings, despite knowing that it's weird, she doesn't dare to tell anyone. But outwardly, she acts like it doesn't matter.

One of her lines also became famous.

"Even if my brother falls in love, gets married, has children, and grows old without loving me, I'm okay. I will just love him and I can't imagine myself with anyone else. So I will carry this love in my heart till I die."

However, in reality, she's already having doubts and wants to move on to another boy. What should I do now?

After thinking momentarily, I offer, "You love your brother because he's the only guy you've spoken to, really know well, and trusted. But if you try to start talking to other guys, you'll realize that there are plenty of good people out there, and you might eventually find someone else." I hope this advice helps her.

The protagonist and I are best friends, and he wants his sister to live with the best person. He visits Asuka's class and chats with all the boys, but can't find anyone as good as me to be his brother-in-law.

Yes, he's scheming to match me with Asuka. At this stage in life, he isn't a siscon that only loves his sister. That's why I give Asuka this advice. I hope she interacts with others and realizes that there's no one as good as her brother, and she won't doubt her love for him.

Her brother excels in everything, be it studies or sports; he always comes first. He is also a good person albeit clueless and dense in some aspects. And once Asuka sees that other boys are nothing special, she might realize that her brother is the best, which might further strengthen her love for him.

"Thank you for this," Asuka says, and then Saki suggests that we all play a game together. The three of us play together in the park for a while and before we leave, Saki once again kicks the slide a few times, which makes the two of us laugh.
