Stuff is getting deep now. Knew there was something off with the mom and the older brother from earlier chapters.

Hey-yo, what's up! It's me! The TL person! Here with another plate of piping hot translator notes!
Next chapter should come out on April 1, 2023, and that's not an April Fools joke! That's it for now!
- (p. 3) I'm still unsure if this really is "sewing kit" or not.
- (p. 4) "Heck yeah!" was supposed to be some Gen-Z abomination like "poggers!" I destroyed that idea after cringing at it for a minute. It also probably didn't fit the supposed time period this takes place.
- (p. 4) "You're way too good" was supposed to be "You're too OP". It got the same treatment as the previous.
- (p. 6) This was dialogue from Ch. 5, p. 7, but modified. The power of retcon!
- (p. 7) Again, "Konatsu Yuuto" is family-name-first order, just like I established it back in Ch. 3.
- Not fun facts: around 19.7% of married men and 16.9% of married women in Japan are re-married. Unfortunately, much like in many cases of re-marriages, there are incidents of child abuse or neglect towards tsureko (連れ子; children from a past marriage). As it seems, Kai is a victim of such.
- There's a bit of a disconnect between the monologue and the way that I translated the monologue and child Kai's thoughts/speech. A goal I kept in mind was to preserve the much older talk for the monologue, as it's a recall of older Kai-nii, and have a more childlike speech for younger Kai. I also tried my best to make both parents speak like they're grown ups. If that came off as weird... whoops.

Damn, no wonder he is like that. 
Not seeing this getting fixed too unless he finally got tired of his lil bro and snapped.I feel like the next chapter gonna be a bit more recent backstory from the big bro, something with his girlfriend and stuff.

As a step child it's very relatable. I'm wondering if the mangaka and/or assistant was also a stepkid? I'm guessing this is setting up that FMC and older bro are similar? I was sort of kidding in some way when I said the older bro and FMC will end up together at the end but now? I'm not sure I can say that with any level of joking.
Also really this series should have been about the Older bro as the MC, he's a much more interesting character then the MC who's just in lust of a girl that wants nothing to do with him.

I think I have an idea on what may happen in the future chaps.
In some twisted way, yandere girl will end up seeing the lil bro as her ultimate rival to big bro's love.
I think this flashback will reveal why lil bro is so naive.
He was put on a pedestal by his family as some little miracle boy who can do no sin, which would explain why he is so out of touch with the real world and common sense.
Big bro also participated in this, since he sees lil bro as his savior.

One tiny problem with this idea. Little bro isn't naive. He knows he's being used based on his internal monologue. He knows FMC is worthless trash, again based on his internal monologue. The only thing he hasn't confirmed is whether or not he thinks he can change her mind. I think he knows, but won't admit it but that's not confirmed.
Either way, Lil bro knows FMC is useless. He just likes her pretty face. He admitted this already. It's not naivety that's driving him. It's worse. It's his oneitis and desire to have THIS girl over all of the better options.

Jeez. These parents are the worst. It's amazing Kai came out of this so well adjusted.

Dude is a brocon lmao
I wonder if Kai chooses his current girlfriend because she likes same anime as his brother? Like, Kai doesn't love her. He just wants to make Yuuto happy or confortable type of thing? Gosh I love this brocon trope already. It's interesting how every character have their own twisted side. Still waiting what kind of twisted person Kai's current girlfriend is. Well I hope she is anyway
