She’s The Protagonist’s Sister - Chapter 1

0. Prologue

My oldest brother has gone missing. Even if he became a vegetative man, even if he became a notorious criminal, I just wished he would come back.

My second brother became a crack porter.

I prayed day and night that he could be awakened as I watched him enter a dangerous crack.

My youngest brother has not opened his eyes for a long time. I thought that if he just opened his eyes and regained consciousness, all my hard work would be forgotten and I would be happy.

My big brother is back. My second brother awakened. My youngest brother regained consciousness.

All wishes that seemed impossible came true. I thought there were only happy days left.

What is this.

“Oh, am I the first to come to our house? The youngest, the youngest, I want to buy this, it’s only 200,000* won.”

*T/N: About 126.17 GBP or 176.32 USD

That man pretending to be cute without changing his attitude for over a week. That bastard was the eldest brother that Lee Bobae wanted to come back.

“Bobae, I’m too lazy to cook today, so how about chicken?”

A low life that brazenly talks with dishes piled up on the table and sink. The second brother who awakened a few months ago.

It’s not over yet. There’s one person left.

“Where did third brother go?”

Lee Bobae laid her heavy body on the sofa and asked how the rest of the family was doing.

“You know, he went to volunteer. I heard he was cleaning the neighbourhood today.”

“Oh, cleaning.”

Lee Bobae looked around the house with fierce eyes. There were three unemployed people who played at home and ate, so it’s a mess inside the house.

A bastard without a conscience who left the house that was in desperate need of cleaning and went to clean the neighbourhood. That bastard was the youngest brother Lee Bobae used all her fortune up to save.

“Ah… life…”

Lee Bobae banged her face on the sofa, thinking she was about to collapse and die.

Lee Bobae was 24 years old. It was a modern era, so it wasn’t strange to be the head of a family. But she was the youngest in the Lee family.

It meant that she had three older brothers who were perfectly fine to do it.

However, she was the head of her family, the representative of her family, so it was her responsibility to take care of her older brothers.

‘This is really too much. It’s too much, too much.’

Why did this happen?

As she slammed her head on the sofa and struggled, she heard a lively voice.

“Youngest, please give me 200,000 won. I’ll just do it 10 times out of 11 times. It’s an SSS confirmed event this time, so one SSS is confirmed if you roll 11 consecutive times! Two if you’re lucky!”

“Bobae, I’ll order chicken. Will you eat it too? If we order seven, it will be enough for a family of four, right?”

Her third brother came home from work and collapsed on the sofa.

Those with a total age of 55-years who don’t worry and just say what they want to say.

Lee Bobae realized when she saw the too-old babies.

“Can I roll you? Can I? Press? Press, press, press?”

“Brother, forgiveness is easier than permission.”

“Yes, I’m pressing it! Come out, SSS!”

If you hear this conversation in front of you and don’t explode, you’re not human.

Lee Bobae jumped up and shouted.

“Aren’t you being too much? You get your allowance, and I pay for what you eat while you scream! You’ve been procrastinating with all the housework and eventually make me do them! Are you trying to break your sister’s spine?”

She screamed as hard as she could, gasping for breath, and then the oldest brother and youngest brother became quiet. Knowing their sins, they knelt down in front of the sofa.

“It’s not about kneeling.”

Then they both opened their mouths at the same time.

“Our youngest, I’m sorry, but I wanted to shout at the gacha. I’ll play for 10 years and let you walk on the diamond path*.”

*T/N: Similar to flowery path I think?

“I understand your anger. I’ll make up for your hard work and let you enjoy a little more peace.”

The first few times she fell for their coaxing. However, after cleaning the house roughly in the morning, when she got off work and returned, the mess inside of the house that was 5 minutes away proved that they were lies.

“Brothers, you don’t have to make money. I’m not doing this for the money. Clean up what you ate, put the laundry in the laundry basket, and if don’t want to mop up, at least give it a vacuum.”

No, let’s put aside household chores for now. Lee Bobae brought up a more important issue.

“Okay. You’re not busy doing housework. So what the hell are you doing at home all day? Go outside. It’s better to get some wind, get some sun, and if you don’t do housework, go out and volunteer like the youngest brother.”

Then the oldest brother made an openly pitiful expression on his face.

“I’m still a lamb that needs stability and rest. What if I get into trouble outside? If my glass mentality is broken, that’s the end of the world.”

“Even if you get into trouble in the black market, they’ll be kinder than the game chat room you spend your time in.”

“Cough! My heart breaks from the youngest’s fact attack. I’m losing my soft mentality! Black, black, black. The darkness that I have been suppressing awakens…! Argh! Destroy, slaughter, break…become!”

He always held his head like that when he heard nagging that he didn’t want to hear. The eldest brother, who was talking nonsense, ran away to his room.

‘Yeah, what did I expect from a big bastard.’

He was the oldest of the three brothers. Don’t expect anything.

Instead of giving up on the oldest brother, Lee Bobae looked at the youngest brother.

The youngest brother was the most reliable among the three older brothers in poor condition. He had the most common sense and was the smartest. Because the only person who could do the housework that had been put off was the youngest brother.

Most of all, he protected Lee Bobae the whole time. Lee Bobae was always sorry and thankful to her younger brother for that alone.

When she looked at him with anticipation in her heart, the youngest brother slowly turned his head.

Is this kid…?

“Ugh… Bobae. As you know, I haven’t rested for quite some time, you know? I worked really hard and lived without taking a break. It felt like I was barely allowed to rest after running a marathon with no goals in sight. So.”

“So?”

Her mother and father gave birth to a human, but she thought it was bullshit. Lee Bobae never gave up hope until the very end. Her gentle smile gave her third brother strength, so he carried on.

“Since you only said 10 years, I’ll play for 10 years.”

The eldest brother disappeared for six years, and returned home with chuunibyou disease.

The second brother claims that he regressed from the future.

The youngest brother, who has been out of service- it causes a headache just thinking about it, so let’s move on.

As they each claim, they are returnees and regressors. It is a remarkable story that is not lacking even if you are active as the main character in any novel right now.

In response, Lee Bobae roared as a younger sister and the head of the household.

“You good-for-nothing mealworms! Go out and work right now!”
