Yoritomo Minamoto
Put it on.
Shanao
What?
Yoritomo Minamoto
I'd like to wear it now, please put it on.
Shanao
You...you want it?
Yoritomo Minamoto
That's what I said. Now, hurry up and put it on.
Shanao
A-alright!
My brother bowed his head slightly toward me inviting me to put the necklace around him.
Shanao
Should I go around or...?
Shanao
(I was thinking of going behind him to put it on...)
Yoritomo Minamoto
...
Shanao
(He didn't answer... I guess I'll just put it on from the front...)
Shanao
Alright...
On my knees I moved towards my brother and spread the cord of the necklace from side to side and around his neck.
Shanao
(I can't quite tie the string...)
The more I thought I had to tie it quickly the more nervous I got, and the more nervous I got, the more my hands shook...
Shanao
(Almost...got it...)
I felt so embarrassed with my arms around my brother like that, it was like I was hugging him. My brother's face was very close to mine, and his flowing hair tickled my cheeks. I could feel my face turning bright red.
Shanao
(My heart's pounding! I'm sure even my brother can hear it!)
Shanao
(If I don't finish tying this necklace soon, I think my heart's going to explode and I'm going to die from embarrassment...)
We were so close that I could feel his breath as my brother spoke.
Yoritomo Minamoto
Now that I see you up close... You and I don't look at all alike.
Yoritomo Minamoto
You have a face like a woman.
Shanao
!
Shanao
W-what?! Really?! B-Brother, what a silly thing to say..
I managed to tie the cord and hurriedly removed myself from him
Shanao
Well, what do you think?
My brother looked down at the necklace.
Yoritomo Minamoto
Not bad.
