My Sister is Bronya

Mei's picnic blanket was quite large; even three people could lie on it without feeling crowded.

"…Never mind, I'm fine like this." Raiden Mei felt a pang of temptation but shook her head after a moment's hesitation.

She wasn't a child anymore, nor was she as carefree as Kiana. Lying down on a park lawn like this, what would people think if they saw her? It would be so embarrassing.

"Really not coming? Don't worry about what others think. As long as we're comfortable, isn't that enough?" Ishiu said casually.

"I really don't need to, but… as a substitute, can you promise me one thing?" Raiden Mei chuckled lightly.

"What is it? As long as I can help, I won't refuse," Ishiu asked curiously. Raiden Mei had taken care of him so much; he truly wanted to repay her.

"It's very simple." A faint blush appeared on Raiden Mei's cheeks. Then, she walked over to Ishiu, knelt down again, and carefully lifted Ishiu's head, placing it on her lap. "Just let me pat your head."

"…"

Ishiu didn't know what to say. Are you sure this is just to pat my head? Why does it feel like a legendary lap pillow? No, this IS a lap pillow!

Feeling the soft, springy touch against his cheek, and smelling the pleasant scent of green apples – Mei's scent – Ishiu's body stiffened.

Raiden Mei's face was flushed with an unusual redness. The corners of her lips turned up as her hand weaved through Ishiu's short hair, occasionally playfully touching his cheek with her fingers, like she was playing a prank.

Raiden Mei was completely satisfied.

"Ah! Mei, I want a lap pillow too!" Kiana, seeing this, exploded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

She rolled over and looked at Raiden Mei pitifully, wanting to taste the sea… no, the feeling of a lap pillow.

"Sorry, Kiana, there's no room for you here." Raiden Mei looked at Kiana apologetically, but her hands didn't stop. She even hooked Ishiu's chin, as if afraid he would escape.

Ishiu: "…"

"Boohoo, Mei, you're so biased! Do you like this brat that much?" Kiana puffed out her cheeks and glared at Ishiu indignantly.

"Kiana, don't talk nonsense…" Raiden Mei's face turned even redder, and her voice became softer.

She had originally just treated Ishiu like a younger brother and liked taking care of him. But hearing Kiana say that now, she inexplicably felt flustered.

Do I like Ishiu? I suppose I do, but it's the kind of liking one has for a younger brother. Yes, that's it.

"Mmm…"

Kiana sulked for a while, then a flash of inspiration struck her. She turned and lay down on Ishiu's lap.

"Hehe, Mei, you give this brat a lap pillow, and he gives me a lap pillow. If you round it up, it's like you're giving me a lap pillow."

Kiana started smiling again. She felt like a genius for coming up with such a brilliant idea. Let's see who dares call her stupid in the future!

"Kiana, did your brain get caught in the door?" Ishiu couldn't help but retort. "You can twist it like that?"

"Hehe, why not? I'm using you as a tool right now. Mei and I are cuddling, no problem!" Kiana comfortably rested her head on Ishiu's lap, feeling incredibly smug. Honestly, this guy's legs are quite comfortable.

"Ah, this…" Ishiu was speechless, but he didn't chase the silly girl away. It was just letting her rest her head for a bit; no big deal.

But seriously, Mei's legs were so soft and bouncy!

Ishiu was struggling to control himself, trying his best to suppress his desires and not rub against those soft, fragrant thighs, lest Mei see him as a pervert.

However, lying in one position for too long was uncomfortable. Ishiu flipped over, changing to lie on his back. But his field of vision was completely blocked by a dark cloud above him, because Mei was just too… large, completely obscuring his sight.

Chapter Sixty-Four: Ishiu: Mei's first time isn't yours, it's mine, Ishiu's!

"Ishiu, what's wrong?"

"Ah, no, nothing. Just changing positions." Ishiu suddenly felt his mouth go dry. He quickly closed his eyes, no longer looking at that "burial ground of heroes."

He was afraid that if he kept looking, his "sword" would be unsheathed. After all, he was a normal man.

(Filial son of a mother, invited himself in)

"Oh, then you can continue lying down. You can even take a nap," Raiden Mei said softly.

"No need, I'll get up after lying down for a bit," Ishiu quickly shook his head.

"Ah…"

Perhaps because Ishiu shook his head too vigorously, his hair brushed against Mei's smooth thigh. The ticklish, numb sensation made Raiden Mei involuntarily let out a soft moan. Even though she quickly covered her mouth, some sound still escaped.

"Mei, what's wrong? Are you tired?" Ishiu asked, confused, hearing the sound. However, due to the obstruction of his vision, he couldn't see the expression on Raiden Mei's face.

"N-nothing." Raiden Mei covered her mouth, forcibly suppressing the shame, but her pretty face became even more flushed.

Kiana, lying on Ishiu's lap, saw all of this. She suddenly felt a chill in her heart, and her head seemed to feel heavier.

Why does she feel like she's being cuckolded right in front of her?

Ishiu didn't know when he fell asleep. But when he woke up, the sky was already close to dusk. The sun that had been directly overhead had unknowingly drifted down, and the sunset's afterglow had dyed half the sky orange-red.

"Ishiu, are you awake?" Almost as soon as Ishiu opened his eyes, Mei's gentle voice sounded in his ear.

"Mmm… How long did I sleep?" Ishiu patted his head and sat up from Mei's lap.

"Mmm… About four hours, I think," Raiden Mei said after thinking for a moment.

"Uh… Mei, I'm really sorry for making you sit alone for so long." Ishiu looked at Kiana, who was still sleeping on his lap, and knew that Mei had been alone for the past four hours. He couldn't help but feel a bit guilty.

"It's fine. Actually, it's better this way," Raiden Mei said, a slight smile gracing her lips as she shook her head. A knowing smile played on her face.

Only she knew what had happened in the past four hours.

Ishiu scratched his head, a little confused. Seeing that Raiden Mei didn't seem to mind, he relaxed slightly. He then looked at Kiana, who was still lying on his lap with a silly grin on her face, and unhesitatingly reached out to tug on her ear.

"Kiana! You're drooling again!"

"Wha-Wha! Ow ow ow, you brat, let go of my ear!" Kiana was jolted awake by the pain. She gasped and quickly pulled her ear free from Ishiu's grasp.

"Kiana! When are you going to break the habit of drooling in your sleep?" Ishiu pointed at his now-damp pants, his face a mask of exasperation.

Thank goodness she wasn't sleeping on my crotch, that would have been too awkward.

Ishiu knew about Kiana's drooling habit. Once, when she forgot to change her pillow one night, he lay down and immediately felt something wet by his cheek. He looked over and saw that the pillow was covered in Kiana's drool!

"Umm... You can't blame me for this, can you? The roast chicken in my dream was just too delicious, and I couldn't help myself," Kiana said guiltily, averting her gaze.

"It's okay, Ishiu. Kiana didn't do it on purpose. You should wipe yourself off," Raiden Mei advised, handing Ishiu a tissue.

Ishiu took the tissue, wiped his pants, and then stood up from the ground.

Although his thigh had been Kiana's pillow for the entire afternoon, his physique was already beyond that of ordinary people, and his recovery speed was naturally extraordinary. He just stomped his feet a little, and the blood in his legs instantly started flowing again.

Just then, however, he heard Miss Mei's slightly embarrassed voice.

"I-Ishiu, could you give me a hand? My leg's gone numb..."

It turned out that Miss Mei was, after all, just a normal girl. She didn't have Ishiu's freakish recovery abilities. After being used as a pillow for an entire afternoon, her leg was so numb she could barely move it.

Ishiu took her hand and easily pulled Raiden Mei up. However, because Miss Mei's leg had no strength, her upper body leaned heavily against Ishiu.

Feeling the astonishing contact, four words suddenly popped into Ishiu's mind: warm fragrance and soft jade.

"I'm sorry to trouble you," Raiden Mei murmured softly, her face pressed against Ishiu's shoulder.

"It's fine. This is all because of me that you're like this. Rather, I should be apologizing to you," Ishiu said, shaking his head. "Kiana, you clean this up. I'll help Mei over to the chair to sit down for a bit."

"Hmph, why should I listen to you?" Kiana pouted. She wanted to help Raiden Mei, but she was a step too slow. Even though she said she wouldn't, her body honestly bent down to pack up the picnic blanket.

Ishiu helped Raiden Mei to a nearby bench. Just as he was about to have her sit down, Miss Mei blushed and shook her head, whispering, "Ishiu, um... I-I need to go to the restroom..."

She had been using Ishiu as a pillow for four hours and hadn't gone to the bathroom once. Now, she felt like she was about to burst. In fact, even if Ishiu hadn't woken up, Raiden Mei would have had to ask him to wake her.

"Ah, this..."

Looking at Miss Mei, whose pretty face was flushed and who couldn't meet his eyes, and then at the restroom not far away, Ishiu fell into a dilemma.

Should he help her or not?

A few minutes later, Kiana helped Mei back from the restroom.

After resting for half an hour, the three of them began their journey home. After escorting Raiden Mei back to her house, Ishiu and Kiana headed in the direction of their own home.

"Whew~ I had so much fun today. I wish every day could be this happy," Kiana said, walking ahead with her hands behind her back, skipping along with cheerful laughter.

"It was alright."

"What do you mean 'alright'? You brat, was Mei's lap really that comfortable?" Kiana glared at Ishiu, her tone accusatory.

Ishiu looked at her, then suddenly raised his right hand, gave himself a thumbs-up, and said smugly, "It was indeed very comfortable. You haven't had the chance to rest your head on Mei's lap yet, have you? You haven't, right? Let me tell you, Mei's first time wasn't with you, Kiana! It was with me, Ishiu!"

"Ishiu!!!"

Chapter 65: Cocolia's Arrival

The two continued to bicker for a while longer. Kiana's hair became messy, and Ishiu's clothes were a bit disheveled, but neither of them cared. After their playful fight, they happily nudged and pushed each other on their way home.

They looked just like a pair of mischievous kids.

When they reached their doorstep, Kiana took out her key and was about to open the door, but Ishiu's expression changed, and he pulled her behind him.

"Ishiu?" Kiana looked at him, confused.

"There's someone in the room," Ishiu said gravely.

His senses were now extremely sharp. Just moments ago, he had noticed signs of the door being picked. Through his senses, he had also detected the presence of someone else inside his home.

A thief? This was Ishiu's first thought.

"Someone's inside?" Kiana blinked, and then anger flashed across her face. "Damn it! Someone actually dared to break into our house! I've got a temper! Ishiu, don't hold me back, I'll break that guy's legs!"

"Caution is always the best policy," Ishiu never neglected anything just because he had become stronger. On the contrary, it was precisely because he needed to be cautious that he had become strong.

He took out his key, opened the door, and stepped into the room before Kiana.

"Hmph! I'd like to see which little thief dares to steal from my house..." Kiana seemed to have no idea what the phrase "don't alert the enemy" meant. Ishiu's movements were light, but she, on the other hand, barged in shouting, her fists and palms rubbing together, ready to fight.

But as she walked into the living room, the harsh words she had been about to utter got stuck in her throat, and she couldn't finish them.

Because sitting on the sofa in the living room was an incredibly beautiful woman.

She was the most beautiful woman Kiana had ever seen, besides Mei.

Moreover, the mature allure she exuded was something even Raiden Mei, with her full-fledged wife material vibes, couldn't quite match.

The green military uniform she wore not only showcased a capable and dignified aura but also accentuated her exquisite body curves.

Then, she heard Ishiu beside her suddenly say, "...Mom?"

"Huh???"

Cocolia's heart was currently a whirlwind of excitement, nervousness, hesitation, and fear.

She had arrived in Changkong City ten minutes ago, intending to immediately seek out the boy who looked exactly like her precious son. However, her subordinates reported that they were already preparing to return home.

So, Cocolia thought for a moment and decided to wait at his home, using the time to compose herself.

What if the person who arrived wasn't him? As the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Cocolia didn't want to lose her composure, so she kept telling herself to stay calm, stay calm—

With trembling hands, she took out a cigarette case from her clothes. She had actually quit smoking because that child had told her smoking was bad for her health.

But after he left, she started smoking again.

Because every time she took out a cigarette, Cocolia felt a sense of anticipation. She hoped a hand would snatch the cigarette from her and say in that slightly helpless voice, 'Mom, don't smoke, it's bad for you.'

Actually, she hadn't smoked for a long time. The first time that child called her Mom, she quit.

Because she had found a way to relieve stress without smoking: she would deliberately take out a cigarette in front of that child and watch him take it away from her again and again, saying those words she never tired of hearing...

She was truly happy.
