“Thank you so, so much!”
“Big Sis is amazing! She took that monster down in an instant!”
“I-it’s nothing.”
I smiled at the little girl and boy in front of me.
They’d thanked me more than ten times on the way here. It was starting to get embarrassing.
The thing was, I’d noticed where the monster was a long time ago.
I’d just been worried I might not be able to take it.
I’d planned to go out, punch it once, and run away with the two kids.
I didn’t expect to kill it with a single punch. This body is seriously overpowered...
“Big Sis, why are you all alone in this forest? The deeper parts are really dangerous, you know.”
The little girl suddenly seemed to remember something. She pointed at me and scolded me, frowning.
“Well... that’s a long story.”
She was probably worried about me. Kids really are kind.
I gently patted her head and wondered: in my old world, would I have been able to talk to people normally?
“Hehe, Big Sis’s hands are so soft!”
The little girl happily rubbed her cheek against my hand.
This Big Sis looked like the aloof, untouchable type, but she was surprisingly gentle.
“Mm! I want one too! Me too!”
The little brother watched his sister getting all the affection and pouted, calling out in his little-boy voice.
If I were a guy, would you two still act like this...?
I looked at the two kids calling me Big Sis over and over, at a complete loss for tears.
I couldn’t help missing my little guy. He used to be pretty impressive, too.
But that was all in the past. And now I’m an A-cup girl. Yeah, I mean me.
Losing my manhood... lost my manhood... manhood... my...
The thought sent my mood plummeting.
Was I really going to have to live the rest of my life in a woman’s body?
And then get married? Have kids? Sleep with a man...?
“Aaaah!! This is the end of me!!”
I clutched my head in despair and kept banging it against the trees by the road.
The girl watched me suddenly freak out, the corner of her mouth twitching awkwardly.
Is this beautiful Big Sis... not quite right in the head...?
After making up all sorts of things in her head,
the girl decided that I was a pretty Big Sis with no home who sometimes went a little crazy.
She thought to herself that, no matter what, she had to make sure this Big Sis felt loved.
“Mm... Sis... I can’t walk anymore.”
The little boy sat down on the ground with a huff, panting.
Well, they were just kids.
Walking such a long distance was too much for them.
They’d probably stopped to rest a few times on the way here.
How had I not noticed? Man, I still had a lot to learn.
I turned to look at the little girl.
She hadn’t said she needed a break,
but her trembling legs made it clear she was at her limit too.
Chiding myself, I crouched down
and called to the siblings.
“I’m really sorry. Big Bro—Big Sis didn’t realize you were tired. I’ll carry you back.”
“Ah, no, no! You’ll get tired, Big Sis! You can’t carry us!”
“Yeah, Big Sis. I just need to rest for a bit.”
The siblings hurriedly refused. They didn’t want to be a bother.
And they especially didn’t want to trouble the person who’d saved them.
Besides, they were dirty and worried they’d get the pretty Big Sis dirty.
“Don’t underestimate me! Big Bro’s really strong!”
I proudly showed off my biceps, though you couldn’t see any muscles at all.
“Huh? Big Bro?”
The little girl looked at me in confusion, sizing me up from head to toe before fixing her gaze on my chest.
She nodded as if she understood, looked at me with pity, then gave me a thumbs-up.
“......”
I knew she meant well, but why was I so annoyed?
I silently looked at her chest, then at my own.
Sorry. Never mind.
“Big Sis, you shouldn’t say you’re a man just because your chest is small. I’m a boy, but I still know girls care a lot about their chests! Sigh...”
The little boy came over and patted my head.
It was like he was comforting me. Then he shook his head with a solemn air...
