My Sister Is Bronya

"...Ishiu-gege?"

Seele's hand froze in midair. She had almost thought she missed Ishiu so much that she was hearing things.

But when she turned around and saw Ishiu's familiar handsome face, she realized she hadn't imagined it—Ishiu had really returned.

Seele first showed a delighted expression, but then she saw Ishiu silently turn around. She froze for a moment before remembering something and lowering her head to look at her current state.

"Ah!"

Seele's face instantly turned as red as a boiled crab. The enticing rosy flush even spread across her entire body, tinting her crystal-like skin with a faint peach-pink hue.

In a fluster, she hurriedly put on her pajamas. She did not even have time to refasten the undone clasps of her underwear. By the time she finally got dressed, her hair was already a complete mess.

"I-Ishiu-gege, I-I'm ready..." Seele lowered her head, not even daring to look at Ishiu. She had never expected that their reunion would happen under such an awkward circumstance.

"Ahem... Well, Seele, I'm sorry. I didn't realize you were changing..." Ishiu turned around and looked at Seele, whose little head was practically buried in her chest. He felt unbearably awkward as well and quickly began explaining himself.

He did not want his wise and heroic image to suffer in Seele's eyes. This really had been an accident. It was also his first time using this ability, and he had not expected something like this to happen.

All he could say was that his luck had been terrible.

"I-It's okay. Seele knows Ishiu-gege didn't do it on purpose, and if it's Ishiu-gege... Seele doesn't mind..." Seele kept rubbing her little hands together, her cheeks growing redder and redder. Her voice, meanwhile, became softer and softer until it was barely louder than a mosquito's buzz. If Ishiu's hearing had not been so sharp, he really would not have caught what she said.

Ishiu was instantly touched. Seele was just too sweet. If it had been Little Pudding, she would probably already be chasing him down ten streets with a gun.

"I'll be more careful in the future. This was actually my first time using this ability too, so I'm still not very proficient with it. I promise this won't happen again," Ishiu said.

"...Mm." Seele opened her mouth and hesitated, but in the end, she did not say what she wanted to say. She merely nodded.

Although something rather awkward had happened, Seele did not hold it against him, and the matter was soon put behind them. The two then sat on the bed and chatted.

Ishiu told Seele about what had happened at St. Freya Academy that day. For some reason, Seele's expression seemed a little strange. When Ishiu asked her about it, she would not say anything and only asked in return, "Ishiu-gege, there must be lots of pretty girls at St. Freya Academy, right?"

"Huh? I guess so. The girls I met today were all very pretty, each with her own charm." Ishiu recalled the enthusiastic girls he had seen when entering and nodded.

"Were there any Ishiu-gege liked?" Seele asked casually, but her heart had already risen to her throat, terrified that Ishiu would nod again.

"No." Ishiu honestly shook his head. He was not some scumbag who fell for every pretty girl he saw. There were plenty of pretty girls in the world—was he supposed to like all of them?

"Then... then what kind of girls does Ishiu-gege like?" Seele let out a slight sigh of relief before asking again.

"Why are you asking that?" Ishiu asked curiously.

"...Seele is worried that Ishiu-gege might bring home an unfamiliar sister-in-law someday, so of course Seele needs to learn about Ishiu-gege's preferences in advance." Seele's mind raced as she forced out an explanation.

"That's thoughtful of you, but I'm not really thinking about dating right now. Let's talk about it later." Ishiu thought for a moment. "But as for my type... honestly, if Bronya had a personality like yours, she'd probably be my type."

"Huh? I-Ishiu-gege likes Sister Bronya?" Seele's eyes widened in disbelief.

"Hey, hey, Seele, don't say things like that. Weren't we talking about types? I was just using Bronya as an example." Ishiu hurriedly explained. He did not want Little Pudding to hear about this, or she would laugh him to death.

"S-So that's how it is..." Seele's expression was somewhat complicated.

Thinking she was unhappy because he had used her as an example, Ishiu added, "Of course, I like girls like Seele too. After all, our Seele is the cutest girl in the world!"

"Ishiu-gege is making jokes like that again..." Seele covered her little face and shyly bumped her head against Ishiu's shoulder.

"I'm not joking. Heaven and earth bear witness—I never lie to you, Seele," Ishiu said with a sincere expression.

"Hmph, Seele doesn't believe you. Ishiu-gege is the best at lying." Seele pursed her lips in a smile, her eyes curving into crescents.

They chatted for another two or three hours. Only when Seele began to yawn did Ishiu end their late-night conversation and prepare to leave.

"Ishiu-gege..."

Just as he was about to use the coordinate mark left in the room to return, Seele grabbed his hand.

"What is it, Seele? Is there something else you want to say?" Ishiu asked in confusion.

Seele held his hand while placing her other hand over her chest. Her cheeks were slightly raised, and a faint blush colored her pretty face.

Under the lamplight, her cherry-colored lips glistened with a faint moist sheen. They parted softly, releasing wisps of a maiden's sweet fragrance.

"Can you... stay tonight?"

(PS: It's the start of the month today, so I'm begging for some monthly votes! There'll be another chapter later.)

Now It's Kiana Time!

The next day, Ishiu woke up in Seele's bed. He carefully pulled his arm out of Seele's embrace, got out of bed, and tucked the blanket properly around her.

What? You're asking what happened last night? What else could have happened? They just held each other and slept, that's all. (Smirk.)

After getting dressed, Ishiu looked once more at Seele, who was still fast asleep in bed. There was still a smile on her face; perhaps she was having a sweet dream.

"Seele, sweet dreams. I'll come see you again tonight."

After leaving those words behind, Ishiu activated Coordinate Movement without caring whether Seele had heard him. In the blink of an eye, he returned to St. Freya Academy.

Perhaps it was just his imagination, but Ishiu felt that what he was doing was a lot like finding a mistress outside, sleeping with her, and then returning home. It was quite a strange feeling.

After returning to his home at St. Freya Academy, Ishiu checked the time. It was exactly seven in the morning, so he went to the bathroom to freshen up. Then, just as he was about to open the refrigerator and see whether there was anything to eat, the doorbell rang.

"Who is it?"

Ishiu was rather curious. Who had come looking for him so early in the morning? Could it be Teacher Yang from next door?

But when he opened the door, he discovered that it was Miss Mei looking for him.

"Mei? What are you doing here?"

"I came to wake you up, but it looks like that won't be necessary." Raiden Mei smiled. "I thought you'd sleep in."

"How could I? I'm not Kiana. Why would I sleep in?" Ishiu said speechlessly.

"Hehe, true. Ishiu is the most obedient." Raiden Mei's eyes curved into crescents as she casually ruffled Ishiu's hair.

"..."

Fine. Since it was Mei, he wouldn't complain.

"Come on, follow me. You just moved in, so you probably haven't had breakfast yet, right?" Raiden Mei grabbed Ishiu's hand without waiting for an answer and dragged him outside.

"Hey, hey, Mei, slow down! Let me close the door first!"

After following Mei back to Teacher Himeko's house, only Himeko was there, lounging on the sofa and leisurely drinking beer. Kiana and Bronya were nowhere to be seen.

"Teacher Himeko, why are you drinking again so early in the morning? It's bad for your health." Raiden Mei said helplessly when she saw Himeko pull out another can of beer.

Ever since arriving here, she had somehow become the household caretaker. She cleaned the house, cooked the meals, washed the clothes, and even took care of everyone's daily needs. How had things ended up like this?

"It's fine, it's fine. I know my own body." Himeko waved her hand dismissively and continued drinking.

"Ah..." Raiden Mei sighed, then said to Ishiu, "Ishiu, could you please wake Kiana and Bronya? I'll go prepare breakfast."

"Okay." Ishiu nodded. Of course he would listen to Miss Mei, especially when it was such a small request.

Ishiu then turned and headed toward the bedrooms.

Since he had already been here yesterday, Ishiu remembered clearly: Bronya's room was the second door on the left, while Kiana's was the third.

After thinking it over, he decided to wake Kiana first.

Without knocking, Ishiu simply turned the doorknob and entered Kiana's room. Back when they had lived together, they had shared a bedroom anyway, so neither of them cared much about privacy anymore. As long as they didn't barge in while the other was changing, it was fine.

The moment he entered Kiana's room, Ishiu saw the mess all over the floor. Half-eaten snacks had been tossed onto the bedside table, clothes and skirts were strewn carelessly across the floor, and he even spotted a pair of white panties.

Damn it, this girl was still as lazy as ever.

Looking at the bed, perhaps because the weather was getting colder, the girl had wrapped herself into a cocoon, not even leaving her head exposed. If she farted in there...

Ishiu couldn't help having that malicious thought.

But thoughts aside, he hadn't forgotten why he was here.

"Kiana, time to get up. Stop sleeping." Ishiu walked over to the bed and patted the blanket wrapped around her like a maggot.

Yet there was no movement from beneath the blanket.

"Hey! Kiana, wake up, wake up!"

Seeing that the girl was sleeping like a dead pig, Ishiu bent down, pulled up a corner of the blanket, and shouted inside.

"Woohoo~!"

Ishiu suddenly heard a strange cry. Then, the tightly rolled spring roll abruptly unfurled, like a giant beast opening its jaws and swallowing Ishiu whole.

Ishiu didn't react in time. He had never been on guard around Kiana, and in that brief moment of hesitation, a warm, soft body pounced on him and knocked him onto the bed.

"Kiana?" Ishiu said in surprise, unsure what kind of craziness had possessed her this time.

"Hehe, I don't want to get up yet. To stop you from pulling off my blanket again, you can sleep with me!" Kiana's voice was laced with smugness, as though she were immensely proud of the clever plan she had just come up with.

Ishiu had often used the trick of pulling away her blanket to force her out of bed before. But if she held him while sleeping, then he couldn't pull her blanket off, could he?

As expected of me, I'm so smart!

Kiana gave herself a mental thumbs-up for her intelligence.

"Uh..." Ishiu was completely speechless. He really wanted to pry open Kiana's head and see just how brilliant her little brain was to reach such a conclusion.

"Kiana, is there something wrong with your head? Didn't you consider how inappropriate it is for a girl to be holding a boy while she sleeps?"

"Come on, it's fine, it's fine. You're not just anyone, Brat. You're special. I only give this treatment to you, because we're best friends, best sisters!" Kiana said with a giggle. In the pitch-black space beneath the blanket, Ishiu couldn't see her smile, but he could feel the warmth of her body and the exquisite softness pressed against him.

Damn! She was obviously an idiot, so why was her figure so good? This felt even better than holding Seele!

"Who's your best sister?! Idiot Kiana, let me go already!" Ishiu tried to break free from Kiana's restraint, but she was holding him far too tightly. Her whole body clung to him like an octopus, giving him no chance to escape.

"Mmm... stop making noise. I want to sleep." Kiana yawned, simply covered Ishiu's mouth with her hand, rested her head against his chest, closed her eyes, and went back to sleep.

"Fuck..." Ishiu was truly speechless. It wasn't as if he had no way to break free, but Kiana was holding him so tightly that if he used the methods from the Seven Nights Assassination Technique, he would definitely hurt her.

With no other choice, Ishiu reached his hand downward.

"Ah! Brat! You touched my butt? You dared take advantage of me? You're dead!" Her sensitive spot attacked, Kiana instantly woke up. She hadn't expected Ishiu to suddenly touch her butt, and in embarrassment and anger, she immediately bit down on his neck.

"Fuck! That hurts, hurts, hurts! Kiana, stop biting me! I didn't mean to touch your butt—I touched the wrong place!" Ishiu felt incredibly wronged. He truly hadn't intended to take advantage of Kiana. Even rabbits didn't eat the grass near their burrows; how could he possibly try to take advantage of her? The space was simply too cramped, and his movements were restricted, so he had accidentally touched the wrong place.

"I don't believe you, you brat, you little pervert! I'm definitely teaching you a lesson today, or you'll surely try taking advantage of Mei next time!" Kiana ignored Ishiu's explanation. Like a husky, she kept biting his neck and shoulders.

She didn't draw blood, but she bit down hard enough that several deep teeth marks soon appeared on Ishiu's body.

"Damn it! You forced me to do this!" Ishiu had been pushed to his limit. He lifted his hands from Kiana's butt to her waist, then launched a frenzied tickling attack.

Kiana was very ticklish—something Ishiu had discovered when they used to fool around. Her waist, the soles of her feet, and her armpits were all sensitive spots. A light touch was enough to make her whole body go weak and leave her without the slightest strength to resist.

Sure enough, the moment Ishiu's hand touched Kiana's ticklish spot, her body immediately started trembling nonstop as if she were having a seizure.

"HAHAHA!!! B-Brat! D-Don't, don't tickle me!... Hahahaha!!!"

Kiana abruptly sat up from on top of Ishiu, sending the blanket covering them flying away. Ishiu instantly saw the light again.

Seizing the chance, Ishiu tossed Kiana aside and hurriedly rolled off the bed.

Seriously, if anyone saw this scene, he wouldn't be able to clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

"Ugh... Brat, I told you not to tickle me, and you still did it! Damn it! Today, I'm going to settle this with you once and for all!" Kiana shouted fiercely, looking ready to pounce on Ishiu at any moment. He hurriedly waved his hands and even dragged Mei into it.

"Hey, hey, calm down first. Mei asked me to wake you up. Are you sure you want to keep wasting time here with me? If Mei doesn't see either of us for too long, do you think she might come over to check what's going on?"

Kiana frowned at that. Whenever it involved her beloved Mei, Kiana became exceptionally well-behaved.

"O-Okay, then I'll let you off this time. We'll continue when we get back tonight." As Kiana spoke, she began taking off her pajamas to get changed.

Ishiu breathed a sigh of relief. He simply ignored Kiana's declaration of a "rematch." That girl's memory was terrible to begin with—there was no way she'd still remember by tonight.

He did not linger any longer. Seeing Kiana start to undress, he left behind a "Hurry up" before exiting the room, intending to head to Bronya's room and wake her up too.

This shouldn't count as showing anything, right? .jpg

(P.S. Since I posted three updates, please give me some votes! If there are enough, I'll be doing mass updates more often in the future!)

Pushing open Bronya's door, he found that she too was still sleeping in bed, hugging a life-sized HOMU plush.

To be honest, seeing that HOMU plush held in Bronya's arms, her cheek pressed tightly against it, made Ishiu a little jealous.
