How can I let go of the matter of saving my stepsister?

Author: Milk, I want Telunsu

Summary:

After waking up, Sato Yu traveled to Neon, a world where Neon ACG culture was not yet developed.

But if you look closely at his background, you will find that both his parents are dead, he has no car or house, and all he has is a step-sister who is a burden and has a terminal illness, and a cat-guest system that harms himself for the benefit of his step-sister.

[By making animations, you can accumulate fame points and heal your sister in stages]

"Huh? You want to trick me into working as a plantation slave in the animation industry? With the low level of entertainment in this world, if I had this much time I could just copy a few light novels from my past life and make a lot of money, and easily reach the pinnacle of life?"

She's just a stranger, a step-sister who isn't even related to me by blood, and you still want me to go to the trouble of trying to save her?"

Sato Yu scoffed at the impractical system.

But......

This stepsister would use her thin and pale hands to stir the wok and cook for him, would call him "Ouni-chan" in a soft and affectionate voice, and would warm his bed with her body in advance on cold winter nights.

Petite but reliable, weak but strong, so cute that people are willing to do anything for her.

After losing to this girl, Sato You smiled bitterly and opened the system again, but his eyes were firm.

"For my stepsister, I have no choice but to do it."

"Animation Master!"

Death from alcohol overdose.

hiccup~

Unable to control his abdominal gas, Sato You burped. The pungent smell of alcohol rose from his throat and seemed to condense into visible green smoke in the air, the stench of which made him frown.

He died and lived again.

After dying and coming back to life, the person is still there, but the soul has changed.

"Tokyo, Sato Yuu..."

"grass!"

Sato You chewed on the place names he had heard of but never set foot on, as well as the completely unfamiliar names and unfamiliar bodies, his hands ran down his forehead to his hair and grabbed it tightly, speaking angrily in both Chinese and Japanese.

He didn't know the reason for the time travel.

I just slept for a while, and when I woke up, I had become a different person in this world that was completely different from my previous life.

A different world. All his past relatives, friends, traces, and properties have all disappeared. Now he has no place to go. He is also a frustrated man who has drunk himself to death due to excessive drinking.

The memories have merged, and the memories of the 19-year-old boy named Sato Yu have flashed back in his mind, causing him to let out a long sigh.

Young people are not cowards, but they live cowardly lives.

Unlucky star? Holding his forehead which was still aching from the effects of alcohol, Sato Yuu gave himself an appropriate label.

When he was in elementary school, his parents were shot and killed in a bank robbery. He was taken in by his current adoptive parents and renamed Sato Yuu. He now has a stepsister who is seven years younger than him.

His adoptive parents treated him as their own son and took good care of him. His family also ran a small spare parts factory, so he lived a comfortable life for a few years. But then things suddenly took a turn for the worse.

When my stepsister was ten years old, she was diagnosed with degenerative astrocytoma, which is almost impossible to cure with the medical level in this world. But even so, her adoptive parents did not give up on their daughter and took out all their savings in order to prolong her life.

This behavior stopped a week ago and my stepsister was taken home from the hospital.

The reason is not that the adoptive parents have given up.

But they died.

She died in a car accident, and then the factory went bankrupt. The family's few remaining assets were all used to pay off debts. Sato Yu, who had just worked as an original artist in an animation company for a year, could not afford the high medical expenses of his sister-in-law, so he had to stop the treatment and move her into this shabby rental house of less than 40 square meters.

If he continues like this, his adopted sister, who has been depending on him for everything, will probably die soon, and he will be left alone in the end, becoming a loner in the true sense of the word.

So, drinking, alcoholism, and death from excessive consumption of cheap, low-quality alcohol are forgivable...right?

What a bitter life.

And now he is the one who should suffer.

"It's so unlucky that I can even kill myself..."

[Sato-kun, the deadline is over, Director Mochizuki has collapsed, and the team is very short of manpower. Please come back soon! ]

Still immersed in the unfortunate life of the past and sorting out memories, Sato Yuu complained at the same time when his cell phone screen lit up and displayed a text message.

The sender was Miki Sugino, the producer of the animation Sphinx that Yu Sato had previously participated in... ahem, "I Like Little Sisters But Not Little Sisters". The content of the email was to ask him, the runaway original artist, to go back and paint as soon as possible.

After briefly reviewing his memory, Sato Yu understood the situation.

"I Like My Sister But She's Not My Sister", abbreviated as Sister Not My Sister, is an animation he previously participated in producing.

At the same time, it is also a hot topic work of this season that has only aired three episodes so far, but has already produced a five-minute animation breakdown compilation. It has supported many anime chat area uploaders, and it is the ultimate animation masterpiece that is taken out for appreciation almost every issue.

There is no way. The company is so extravagant and profligate. They have four animations in the first quarter, so they have to sacrifice one of them. Toilet paper novels like "Sister Not Sister" are the unlucky ones to be sacrificed.

The construction period was extremely short, and the main creative team was basically newcomers who had just been in the industry for one or two years. The supervisor was an unlucky person who had just been promoted from the first original artist and was the first to serve as a supervisor.

There are few original artists and an even smaller budget, so it is basically impossible to outsource the storyboards. The terrible reputation brought about by the poor painting in the first few episodes has made people in the industry avoid it as much as possible, and the lack of manpower and experience has become even more acute.

Word of mouth is no longer something that needs to be considered.

Working day and night as long as it can be done is the consensus of almost everyone in the production team.

In this situation, Sato Yuu, one of the backbones of animation production, became a deserter and fled from the battlefield...

Because of his shameful escape, the entire production team will suffer a devastating disaster. In the worst case, even broadcasting on time may be a luxury.

However, after turning off the screen and taking a sip of the hot water he had just poured, which had finally reached drinkable temperature, Sato Yu did not intend to reply to the message from the production team.

He was not an animator and had no intention of continuing to survive in the cruel industry of animation production, which desperately exploited original artists and whose work intensity and treatment were comparable to those of plantation slaves.

Moreover, even the original owner, the original Sato Yu, escaped.

The travel brochure had been soaked by the spilled alcohol. He covered his nose, picked it up by the corner, and threw it into the trash can with a look of disgust on his face.

After being taken home from the hospital, treatment was stopped. My stepsister’s death was almost foreseeable, and a countdown began.

When you are in love, drinking water can make you full, but when you are really short of money, you will know whether drinking water alone can fill you up.

As a useless brother, he has a lot of love but few money in his pocket, so he can't save his sister.

It is a cruel fact, and Sato Yu in the past knew this cruel fact very cruelly.

Therefore, he was not going to continue working as an original artist with little salary.

So he decided not to work anymore and just wanted to be with his stepsister during the last period of his life.

He spent the meager savings that were left in the family and took his stepsister, who had been locked in the hospital and longed for the outside world, on a final trip, even if it was just for a little while, to let her let loose and have some fun at the end of her life.

He gave up his job, his dream of becoming an original artist, and even his stepsister's life.

It’s so bitter. Life is so bitter.

What kind of painful psychological struggle did he go through to make this decision? Sato Yuu has that memory in his mind, but he cannot empathize with the pain.

But there are actions to prove it.

I bought large bottles of the lowest quality wine and flipped through the travel brochures with tears in my eyes. Sato You drank all night last night, and he was a different person this morning.

Fulfill the last wishes of the original owner of this body, act like a good brother, take your stepsister around, and start your new life after she dies and is buried.

Feeling somewhat sad, but not too sad, Sato Yu made a simple plan for what he would do in the future.

And at this time...

"Onii-chan, you drank so much! Aaaah!!!"

The door was pushed open, and a girl in her teens, wrapped in a thick coat and wearing a knitted hat, suddenly rushed into the house.

After she smelled alcohol in the room and saw her brother, who was dejected among the bottles cluttered in the room, like a middle-aged widower and unemployed man, her originally affectionate call turned into anxiety and sadness.

The girl ran quickly towards her brother, but she clumsily stepped on a wine bottle on the ground and fell accidentally.

The cramped room turned out to be a blessing. The reason for the small space was that she fell on Sato Yu. Her petite and thin body was buried in his body, trembling slightly.

I hope you're not hurt.

After all, she has taken over the boy's body, and the girl's life experience is really pitiful. Even if she has no feelings, she can't remain indifferent. Sato Yu helped her up and wanted to ask her, but before that, the girl's concerned voice rang in his ears.

"Brother, do you have a headache? I'll make you some hangover soup."

She raised her face from his arms, the frail girl's youthful, pretty but pale face revealed clear concern, and her thin and hoarse voice was so gentle and heartwarming.

Being stared at so softly, Sato Yuu subconsciously blinked and turned his head away.

It was early morning, and light shone in from the open door, reflecting on his moved face.

It also penetrated into his heart through every pore.

"The hangover soup is here!"

It was just a few wine bottles and a slightly messy room. Sato Yu cleaned it up in a short while. At this time, his sister-in-law had already prepared the sobering soup and pushed the door open.

The milk and rice soup has a strong milky flavor and two spoons of sugar are added.

"tasty?"

Too sweet.

Boys in the past liked sweets, but this sweetness is too much for Sato Yu today.

I'm afraid I'll have to live with this little girl for a long time until she dies, so if I don't like it, it's better to say it now.

However, the eyes of the girl who asked this question were so bright, twinkling with an irresistible longing...

It's only for a while anyway.

"tastes good."

Finally, after swallowing the cloyingly sweet rice and milk soup, he tried to adapt to the sweetness instead of expressing his dissatisfaction.

Huhu~, the moment she heard these words, the girl let out a satisfied hum, which unexpectedly brightened Sato Yu's mood.

The spoon scooped up another spoonful and put it into his mouth. He raised his eyes more and looked at the girl in front of him more boldly.

She was very cute, with delicate and coordinated facial features that showed the foundation of a beauty. As she was laughing softly, her cheeks had shallow dimples that made people want to take a bite of them. Her eyes were not very big but they were lively and gentle. She lay on the table and looked up at him. The tenderness in her eyes and her beautiful attachment to her brother made Sato You's heart tremble.

Knowing that he was not that good a brother to him, Sato You turned away embarrassedly and looked back after a moment.

So fragile...

He was only twelve years old, but his body was as skinny as a ten-year-old child who had not been fed for years. The knuckles of his hands were distinct from those of his old cotton-padded jacket, and his bones were covered with skin without much extra flesh. A light blue color covered the back of his hands, and his cheeks were pale, almost bloodless.

Looking more closely, Sato Yu discovered that the girl's eye sockets seemed a little sunken, showing a fatigue that was not normal for a girl of her age.

A beautiful, lovely, yet overly fragile and pitiful girl who is tortured by illness.

Sato Yuu already knew that she was this kind of girl, and now he knows it even more.

As for the name, Kyon, Sato Kyon.

In other words, sister Qiong.

The corners of Sato Yu's mouth twitched slightly.

Qiong and You are both nice names when taken individually, but when they are brother and sister together, it becomes a little interesting. It reminds people of orthopedics and that kind of illicit love.

However, this is just Sato Yu's inner monologue. There is no work called "Yosu no Sora" in this world.

Not only "Yuno Sora", many other works have not appeared, and the entertainment environment is still in a relatively ignorant state.

"Brother, aren't you going to work today?"

Qiong's question interrupted Sato Yu's wandering thoughts.

The girl pursed her lips, her bright eyes flickering, and she timidly peered at his expression from below as she spoke these words, her hands slightly clenched, very cautiously.

In the past, this girl was innocent and lively, with a bit of arrogance in her personality. However, since she was diagnosed with a terminal illness and was admitted to the hospital, which continued to consume the family's money and the energy of her relatives, she has become sensitive and has acquired a maturity that a girl of this age should not have, which is regrettable and sad.

Even though "I Like My Sister But She's Not My Sister" is a terrible, toilet paper-thin adaptation that is bad enough to be nailed to the pillar of shame, it is still an animation project with an extremely tight schedule and no slackness is allowed for a moment.
