No Sneaking Ahead!

(I have a feeling that Mei- neechan glanced at me?)

"Here's the thing... I want to know how to set up the unknowns and equations for this problem."

Mei politely handed over the paper and pen.

"By the way, did I disturb Bronya's sleep?"

"No, Bronya is not a child anymore, she won't get sleepy every ten o'clock."

"That's good... Thank you for your help, brother."

"Okay, let's start by analyzing the question itself..."

Ten minutes later, at 10:10

"So, did you understand?"

"Yes, I understand completely, thank you, brother."

Mei held up the exercise book and thanked them with a smile.

"I'm so sorry to trouble you so late, brother."

"It's nothing. You can come to me if you have any other questions."

Liu Bai didn't seem to care about this.

"But it's so late already, let's go to bed early. Don't you have to train with Reanna tomorrow?"

"Okay, goodnight, Alliance Leader brother~"

Mei waved her hand, closed the door, and went out.

"Call..."

Bronya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief as she watched Mei leave.

After all, what she's doing now is exactly what the book describes as "cheating".

Secretly having an affair behind her back with her little alliance members Mei and Seele... If they get caught, the consequences will be unimaginable...

"How are you doing, Mei? What are those two people doing inside?" Edison asked Mei from downstairs.

"It's nothing, Edison... cough, Sister Edison, you're overthinking it, aren't you? Bronya and Brother Alliance Leader are just siblings."

Mei said nonchalantly.

Bronya sneaking food behind their backs... such things should be judged by her and Seele.

Although I don't know why Aunt Edison is suddenly so sensitive to Bronya, it's best not to let Aunt Edison know about this.

After all, the three of them are in the same boat to some extent.

"Oh, so something's wrong?"

Edison acted as if he hadn't heard Mei's report.

"Really, although I'm reluctant to say it, don't forget, in terms of seniority, I'm of the same generation as your great-grandmother, Mei."

Edison was born in the 1930s, and Ryoma was born in the 1970s, so they are roughly Ryoma's grandmother and Mei's great-grandmother.

It looks pretty much the same.

"So who are you playing tricks on?"

Edison tapped Mei's head with a hint of displeasure.

"Should I talk to Ryoma about some things?"

"Hmm..."

Mei knew her father's personality very well.

However, seeing Mei like this, Edison's expression softened.

The opportunity has arrived.

"Mei, do you know that the two of us are allies?"

Edison said to Mei with a smile.

"Huh? Me, us?"

"That's right, haven't you realized that you, Bronya, and Seele are not on the same page at all..."

(Stop thinking about that rope.)

Dark Seele, unable to contain herself any longer, spoke to Seele was hiding under the covers reading a notebook by a small lamp.

(What you're doing is bad for your eyes and completely useless. If you're so capable, go over there, tie up your brother, and sit on his waist!)

"Waaah... That's why I want to watch it, because I'm too scared."

Seele weakly retorted.

"And it was me who was tied up..."

(I already told you not to think about those things! If you want your older brother to tie you up willingly, you might as well pack yourself up and send yourself over there!)

"A Christmas present?"

(... No, I was just saying, why do you seem to be saying this all along?)

Shocking Dark Seele

Dark Seele is increasingly unable to understand what the main personality is thinking when it comes to romance.

(I think you should really get rid of all the lewd stuff in your head. You're a walking, talking pile of lewd garbage right now! Do you even realize that, Seele?)

"Waaah..."

(Look at you! You're always either hungry or Seele you'll have?)

"Waaah..."

(Eating, sleeping, reading—could you be any more of a slacker?)

"Waaaaah... What... what should we do..."

(Take the initiative! We must take the initiative!)

Dark Seele said with disappointment.

(The squeaky wheel gets the grease! I need to win over the older brother's heart now! Then we can get married in two years!)

"Serve... serve the child?"

(I'm not talking about that kind of thing! You dirty scum!)

Chapter 164 Running Away Is Prohibited!

"Then let's continue the story."

After watching Mei leave, Liu Bai didn't forget his business. After searching for a while, he pulled a book from the bookshelf and opened it—

Knock knock knock

"... It's already past ten o'clock, why isn't anyone sleeping?"

Although not sleeping at night is not a big deal—well, after all, Liu Bai, who was a college student who just loafed around in his previous life, really has no right to criticize this aspect.

However, it's rare for someone to knock on your door at night.

After all, knocking on the door at this hour requires considering whether the person is asleep.

"Who is it? Come in."

"... Did I disturb you, brother?" Seele timidly peeked her little head out from behind the door.

"... Don't you know how to do your homework either?"

"?"

"No, it's nothing." Liu Bai coughed lightly. "So, is there something you need, Seele?"

"I'm having a little trouble sleeping..."

Seele scratched her cheek a little embarrassedly.

"Um... can I sleep with my brother tonight?"

Bronya: "???"

Wait a minute! Why would Seele bring this up so directly?!

Even she herself knew that she shouldn't be sleeping with her older brother at this age, right?

No, that's not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that you don't realize something is wrong for a moment.

It felt perfectly natural for Seele to say those words.

... How terrifying.

In some ways, she's even scarier than Mei.

"Oh... Well then, there's nothing I can do. I was just about to tell Bronya a story, so why don't you come along too?"

"Thank you, brother."

A look of joy appeared on Seele's face as she skillfully slipped into bed.

"It feels like it's been ages since I slept with Sister Bronya like this."

"... Yes, I haven't had that since I grew up."

Bronya felt as if she were being targeted by some unseen force.

I was worried about being discovered before, but now it's all good, both Mei and Seele have done it.

"Can you lie down here, brother? It feels like it's been so long since I've cuddled up to sleep with you."

"... I'm not HOMU doll anymore."

Isn't this a bit inappropriate now?

"It's okay, we like Sister Reanna very much too."

Seele seemed to have made up her mind to sleep with Liu Bai in her arms, and then looked at Bronya beside her.

"Is that what Sister Bronya thinks too?"

"Hmm..."

Looking at Seele's expression, Bronya felt conflicted. After all, she had just talked about growing up... But, if only she could sleep with her brother...

(It's okay... I'm only fourteen years old. Compared to Mei or my brother, I'm still just a kid.)

"Y-yes, it feels like it's been ages since I slept with my brother. Besides, we've never slept with a 'real brother,' have we?"

"... Although, I still feel a little... Okay, okay, I really can't do anything with you two."

Liu Bai sighed, defeated by the hopeful gazes of the two little ones.

"Make room for me in the middle."

The two little ones very considerately moved aside to make room for each other in the middle.

After Liu Bai got into bed, the two little ones quickly hugged Liu Bai's arms.

"... No, is it really necessary to stick so close?"

Bronya on the left was fine, but Liu Bai's right hand had been touched by another kind of warmth and softness.

"Because it's a bit crowded..."

Seele came up with a reason.

No, it's not entirely far-fetched, after all, orphanages aren't so busy as to provide every child with a double bed.

Previously, the two lolis were petite, and Liu Bai was possessing the HOMU doll, so a bed was enough for them.
