After Reading Minds and Discovering My Brother Wants to Kill Me

Sigma × Nikolai's younger sister

Iliya grew up an orphan in a military-minded nation and dreamed of having a real family.

Good news: She found her long-lost older brother.

Bad news: Her ability lets her read minds.

Her brother, fervently: "Little sister, I've missed you so much!"

(Thoughts: Would killing my sister prove absolute freedom better than killing my dearest friend?)

Her brother's boss, smiling: "Welcome aboard."

(Thoughts: One more pawn. I can dispose of her whenever I like.)

Her brother's coworker, blushing: "Hello, I'm Sigma."

(Thoughts: She's so cute, she's so cute, she's so cute! She's looking at me!)

Iliya: "...?"

Got it. My brother wants to kill me, his boss wants to use me, and only this split-flavor ice cream wants to be my family.

Fine. Since nobody's acting like a decent person, none of you are going to have an easy time.

So she started pretending to be a terrible student, deliberately mispronouncing "moon" (tsuki) as "like" (suki) and driving her Japanese teacher crazy.

The rice-ball fanatic is pretending to be a spirit medium? Then she'll use garlic and wasabi to exorcise him.

She even infiltrated the Decay of the Angel, then completely wrecked their plans.

A few months later, in Yokohama.

The gravity manipulator was ready to play the hero and save a damsel in distress, only to watch a seemingly delicate foreign girl clear the place out with a few punches and kicks. She dusted off her hands and said, "Suka-blyat."

Chuuya was silent for three seconds, then turned to his subordinate. "...Are those the guys we've been chasing lately?"

The subordinate nodded frantically.

Chuuya pinched out his cigarette. "...Fine by me. Saves us the trouble."

The suicide enthusiast had put a noose around his neck. She calmly cut it down. "This is more efficient."

Dazai: "...What are you doing?"

Iliya: "Weren't you going to jump? I'm helping you pass on the physical way."

Then she got a free parfait out of him and strolled off.

The weretiger, wanted by three different factions, was being used as a mount by two little girls.

Iliya walked by and pulled out her phone. "Click. Posting this."

Nakajima Atsushi: "Iliya-san!!!"

Yokohama's big shots: Who is that?

The Decay of the Angel, wiping sweat away: ...She's one of ours.

[Reading guide]

1. Female lead: If she can solve it with her fists, she won't waste words. She's soft-hearted and fiercely protective of her own, but also a clear-eyed little devil.

2. Male lead: A pure-hearted fool who always gives the female lead the strongest emotional support (and triangular rice balls).

3. Early on, watch the female lead wreak havoc. Later, watch her brother and the old fox suffer one defeat after another.

4. Important: Sigma is an angel! The male lead will never be put through angst!
