I'm in Type-Moon, I have a Holy Evil Simulator

But Torachiyo is a straightforward person.

If Axue said that he didn't want to learn Buddhism, it would be easy and Torachiyo could just refuse the responsibility of educating him.

"Well... I'd be sad if I couldn't play with those older sisters..."

as predicted.

Axue's face suddenly became embarrassed and she resisted the suggestion of learning Buddhism.

Seeing his junior brother so worried, Tora Chiyo should have been extremely happy.

Because in this way, he can concentrate on studying Buddhist scriptures without having to contact the outside world.

But Hu Chiyo didn't expect that the three-year-old child in front of him really attached so much importance to the marriage with the female pilgrim.

He actually thought that Axue was afraid of becoming a monk, which would disfigure her. After all, Axue was such a handsome and romantic person.

This actually made the child prodigy feel a little embarrassed. He asked angrily, "What's wrong? Are you not happy being with me, your senior brother?"

"It's quite fun to be with my brother..."

Axue's expression rarely showed a hint of loneliness.

"But... those older sisters are like Xue's mother... Xue doesn't want to leave them..."

After hearing this, Hu Chiyo's face changed and he fell silent.

Axue's words undoubtedly resonated with the young man in an instant.

Torachiyo's thoughts drifted back to the time when she was still at Nagao's house——

"Ahahahaha! Brother, are you okay? I just hit you lightly, that's all."

"Father, Father! I've had enough! I will never be a match for Torachiyo again!!"

A year ago, in a family competition.

Nagao Torachiyo, who was only seven years old, beat his brother, who had already come of age, so badly that his body was covered with bruises.

On the one hand, Torachiyo herself is gifted.

On the other hand, my brother has been weak and sickly since childhood.

But no matter what, it was really too rebellious for Torachiyo, the second son, to injure the eldest son of the Nagao family into this state.

Even if this was just an ordinary family martial arts competition, in the eyes of his father Nagao Tamekage, what kind of purgatory would this scene be?

"Onii-sama! Please don't say that! Please train more with me, Torachiyo!!"

Torachiyo wanted to continue competing with his brother, but his father shouted at the side:

"That's enough! Everyone, get back off!"

Hearing his father's words of dissuasion, Torachiyo ran over with a smile and asked, "Father! What do you think of my strength, Torachiyo?"

Unexpectedly, the young man only heard his father Nagao Tamekage sigh deeply——

"...Hey! Get off right there, Torachiyo! Your father doesn't even want to see this face of yours!!"

Torachiyo blinked and froze in place.

And his father continues to output——

"Not only did he beat my brother to the point where he couldn't fight back! He even made fun of his opponent! How unruly!!"

At this time, Torachiyo's mother and sister argued with reason:

"Master Patriarch! This is really too much!"

"Yes! Torachiyo just obeyed father-sama's orders and competed with his brother!"

However, the two women who supported Torachiyo were only slapped by Nagao Tamekage!

"Shut up! Look at this guy's eyes! These are not human eyes at all!!"

His father pointed his calloused fingers, like a sword that could pierce armor, straight at Torachiyo's amber eyes.

"——These are the eyes of a [youkai]!!!"

Torachiyo rarely looked in the mirror.

But he had learned about monsters from books, and knew about the great monsters that had been active in the Heian period.

He knew that the monster definitely looked different from him.

So Torachiyo retorted—

"Father! Torachiyo isn't some kind of monster, is he?"

Perhaps realizing that his father was just joking to lighten the mood, Torachiyo was the first to burst into laughter.

"Ahahahaha!! Father!! Torachiyo is not a monster!! Ahahahahahahahahahaha!!!"

Who knew that his wild laughter would frighten Nagao Weijing, who kept backing away and screaming—

“Huh…?! That’s it! That’s the expression! This guy is a mysterious monster who only laughs no matter how hard I hit him!!”

My father then turned around and announced in a cold voice.

"That's enough! Get Torachiyo out of the house! Don't let him appear in front of me again!!"

However, Torachiyo could never understand what her father said.

He then asked his sister.

"Sister! What happened to Father? If Brother doesn't fight seriously, fighting won't be fun at all."

His sister was already in tears. She looked at Torachiyo with her beautiful eyes and spoke sadly to the family member who was about to leave her.

"Torachiyo...how could this happen...don't you understand what your father and brother are afraid of...?"

"Ahahahaha! Torachiyo, I don't understand at all. What is everyone so afraid of?"

The mother knelt beside him, kowtowed to the sky and repented.

"Lord Buddha! Why did you grant Torachiyo such power? Torachiyo, who possesses power comparable to that of gods and Buddhas, will never be able to understand the human heart..."

Looking at the expressions of her mother and sister, Torachiyo understood that they were sad expressions.

But why do they have sad expressions?

For whom are they making such sad expressions?

Torachiyo didn't understand.

So he laughed out loud and said—

"Ahahahaha! Onee-sama! Mother! Torachiyo, I don't understand! Torachiyo, I don't understand anything!!"

But Torachiyo, who couldn't stop laughing, was hugged tightly by her sister.

"Poor Tora Chiyo, to you, everyone else is just a piece of trash, weak and boring, right?"

She burst into tears.

"If you still intend to live in this world, at least you should respect the Buddha and cultivate the Five Constant Virtues. Even if you don't understand, it doesn't matter. You should know that people should live with these thoughts and thinking..."

Perhaps it was because the tight embrace was enough to make Torachiyo's young shoulders whine, so the boy agreed.

"I understand! Onee-sama! I, Torachiyo, will definitely accumulate the Five Constant Virtues! I will believe in the Buddha!"

Chapter 8: Violations of Buddhist Taboos

The memory stops here.

After a year of meditative Buddhist practice, Torachiyo finally understood that even for someone like herself with an inhuman personality, perhaps the bond of family could indeed restrain herself who did not understand human nature.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have suddenly fallen into memories when he heard Axue talking about her mother.

Axue is different from herself.

He is a complete orphan.

no father.

No mother.

No sister.

No brother.

So it seemed inevitable that the young boy would be fascinated by those female pilgrims and the family affection that he had never experienced before.

For a moment, Tora Chiyo didn't know how to comfort his lonely junior brother, so he had to imitate the way his sister treated him and hugged Axue.

"Don't worry, Xue."

He tried to slow his voice down and imitate his sister's gentle tone.

"Brother, I will take care of you. From now on, we two are a family."

Axue was hugged tightly by Torachiyo, and the strength made the child a little breathless.

He just felt that the smell of his senior brother was particularly sweet.

Even the rouge scent of the female donors who usually hugged him was far less attractive than the fragrance of his senior brother.

Although Axue had never seen Hu Chiyo's appearance in person, and did not even have much intimate physical contact with this fellow brother on weekdays, she only knew about such a fellow brother through word of mouth from other monks.

But at this moment, Axue's heart, which had never seen the light of day, suddenly skipped a beat.

Senior Brother...

It seems to be what the older sisters call the sun.

The child who was born blind finally saw. In the aimless and endless darkness before his eyes, a dazzling pure white light suddenly flashed up, almost burning through his retina.

Axue couldn't help but throw herself into her senior brother's arms, hugging his slender waist tightly, as if she wanted to integrate this warmth into her bones and blood.

"Brother...thank you...I'm so happy..."

This was the first time in Torachiyo's life that someone thanked her.

He lowered his eyes and looked at the silver-haired child in his arms who was wiping his tears and sobbing uncontrollably. His hand then stroked Axue's head like an older brother treating his younger brother.

Although Torachiyo is not short of family.

But he had never experienced what it was like to have a younger brother.

Now it seems......

Having a younger brother doesn’t seem so bad.

For Axue, this poor orphan, I am his only support in this world.

Even though until now, Torachiyo still didn't quite understand the bond between people, he still silently made up his mind -

I will take good care of Axue in this life and will not let him get hurt.

From now on, they will care for each other like family and spend the rest of their lives.

After all, this is Torachiyo’s first time being a brother!

Just when the black-haired boy had made up his mind, Axue rubbed his red eyes and raised his head, then said with joy -

"Then Senior Brother, I will call you Dad from now on!"

"......What?"

Torachiyo was stunned.

It seems that he and his newly recognized brother have completely different definitions of relatives.

"Huh...? Could it be Mom...?"

Noticing Tora Chiyo's surprise, Axue then spoke cautiously.
