Chapter 36

"Kiko."

As Bronya pushed Kiko into the living room... though calling it a living room was a stretch. It was really just a small room, since the break room itself was tiny. "Could you act a little more mature?"

"What's wrong with that? Big sis is childish only around you~" Kiko clung to Bronya, her words full of implication.

"..."

Bronya turned her head aside, her cheeks faintly flushed. She could handle all sorts of situations, but she simply could not deal with someone coming at her so directly.

"Dinner's ready." White Night leaned against the doorway and lightly knocked on the door, breaking the ambiguous atmosphere.

Then White Night returned to the kitchen. "Also, Kiko, it's about time you put some clothes on."

During the meal, White Night and Bronya chatted with Yakushi Kiriko about many things, except for that one matter.

Afterward, Yakushi Kiriko conducted follow-up examinations on some patients, and the day's work came to an end.

Because White Night and Bronya had come over, Yakushi Kiriko did not spend the night making do in the break room for once. Instead, she returned to her home... which she had bought right next to the hospital.

"Mmm~"

Amid the rising steam, Bronya's delicate jade-like feet slowly slipped into the water until she was submerged up to her shoulders.

She let out a long breath. Not thinking about anything else, her entire body gradually relaxed.

"A bath after work is simply perfect. Don't you think, Bronya?"

Yakushi Kiriko joined her from the side. Beneath the clear water, Kiko's curvaceous figure was fully visible. "Come to think of it, how long has it been since we last took a bath together...?"

"Kiko, Bronya has grown up already." There was a hint of helplessness in her voice.

"Yes..."

Yakushi Kiriko sighed, then shifted closer to Bronya beneath the water. "So there are some things you've started hiding from your big sis now~"

"...Kiko already knew?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

As she spoke, Kiko lifted one hand from the water and gently brushed aside Bronya's silver bangs. "After all, big sis loves you two the most."

—Yakushi Kiriko had been asking Shinguji Kuroko about White Night's recent circumstances, so she roughly knew some things. "The Dawn Academy incident, right? You've already met her."

"...Sorry, Kiko..."

"You don't need to apologize to big sis."

Kiko leaned closer until her forehead touched Bronya's, her voice as gentle as ever. "Xiao Bai has someone he likes. Of course big sis supports him."

"And Xiao Bai likes big sis too, doesn't he? Big sis noticed it long ago~"

After the bath, Bronya returned to her room to sleep, but this time Kiko did not come looking for her.

"Since I've made up my mind, there's no need to hesitate, right?"

Dressed in a thin silk nightgown, her lovely figure faintly visible beneath the gauzy fabric, Kiko encouraged herself. "Take him down in one go!"

Creak—

In the silent night, the sound of the door opening was especially clear. It woke White Night as well. "...Kiko?"

"Xiao Bai~"

Unlike her usual gentleness, Kiko's call was seductive to the bone.

Using all four limbs, she crawled onto the bed step by step. The pitch-black night did not hinder White Night's vision. Instead, beneath the veil of darkness... it gave her an added sense of mystery.

Her emerald eyes seemed ready to drip with water, filled with overwhelming affection. "Is it okay?"

Before White Night could say anything, Kiko added, "Big sis knows Xiao Bai is greedy, but big sis doesn't mind~"

"After all, in this world..."

As she spoke, Kiko pressed her entire body against him. White Night could even feel her warm breath. "Who ever just falls from the sky, anyway~"

"But none of that has anything to do with big sis. Big sis only knows that she really likes Xiao Bai. So, is it okay?"

"...Have you really decided, Kiko? I absolutely, absolutely won't let go!"

"That's exactly how it should be~"

One hand stroked White Night's cheek like a lover's, Kiko's eyes overflowing with affection. "Big sis knew all along that Xiao Bai would take responsibility."

"Xiao Bai, big sis loves you~"

"Mmm... What time is it?"

One hand reached out casually and picked up the student handbook from the bedside. White Night opened his eyes groggily and saw the time displayed on it. "It's already this late?"

The light was blocked by the curtains. In the dim bedroom, scattered clothes could vaguely be seen, while the air was filled with the scent of semen.

Even now, beneath the thin blanket, White Night could still feel that soft, fragrant, jade-like body against him.

What kind of angel in white was this? She was clearly a succubus! But no matter what kind of Kiko she was, White Night liked her.

"Mmm... n-no, no more..."

They had probably gone at it too late, leaving her consciousness muddled. Feeling White Night's movement, Kiko curled up slightly and murmured a few words in a voice like sleep talk.

Heh~

Warmth surged through his heart. White Night smiled unconsciously, then bent down and gently kissed Kiko's forehead. You worked hard, Kiko... no, Kiko.

For today, she should just rest properly~

White Night slipped out of bed, taking great care not to wake Kiko. After tucking the blanket around her, he turned into a streak of lightning and flashed out through the crack in the door. Everything was utterly silent.

"Huh, was that Bronya?"

A simple yet exquisite breakfast sat on the dining table, with a small note tucked beneath the plate:

—Bronya went to the hospital for consultations. Tell Kiko she has the day off today and should rest at home.

"So she took care of everything..."

White Night put down the note in his hand. After thinking it over, he found nothing else that needed to be added, so he picked up the plate and headed toward the bedroom. "Wait, where's my portion?"

"Did she deliberately leave me out?"

Only after returning to the bedroom did White Night pull open the curtains... White sheets fluttered in the yard. "So that's it. Were some of last night's intense emotions transmitted over?"

At the thought of Bronya performing Non-chanting Water Magic by herself, White Night could not stop himself from laughing. "So that's why she left out my share? What a cute little act of revenge."

After tidying up the room, White Night opened the window to air it out. Then... he folded his arms on the bedside and quietly admired Kiko's sleeping face.

Soft sunlight spilled through the window. Kiko slept peacefully with one fragrant shoulder half exposed, making her seem even more gentle and beautiful.

"You're so beautiful, Kiko..."

One hand lightly brushed through Kiko's emerald hair, and White Night's face also showed a warm smile.

Love and desire—when desire was temporarily satisfied, all that remained was the purest affection. A beautiful picture slowly unfolded at that moment.

"Mmm..."

After a long while, Kiko, who lay on the bed, slowly woke up. The first thing she saw upon opening her eyes was White Night's handsome face.

Kiko revealed a knowing smile, then stretched out a pair of smooth arms from beneath the blanket. The blanket slid down lightly, unable to conceal the large expanse of pale skin now exposed before his eyes.

But Kiko clearly did not care. She acted coquettishly toward White Night, her voice unbearably soft. "Xiao Bai, hug~"

"I really can't do anything with you..."

After a night of passion, what had he not seen? White Night was not affected in the slightest and openly embraced her. "Good morning, Kiko. A new day has begun."

He had dropped the "big sis" suffix. Kiko did not know why, but her heart tingled, and she could not help acting even more spoiled. "Xiao Bai, say it again for big sis."

"Sure, Kiko."

White Night naturally granted such a small request. His voice was filled with affection as he softly called beside Kiko's ear, "My Kiko, it's time to get up."

"But big sis doesn't want to get up~"

As she spoke, a glow of Magic Power flashed. Kiko's pale arms suddenly exerted force, twisting White Night down onto the bed. "Big sis only wants Xiao Bai."

"Kiko, your body..."

Seeing White Night about to say something else, Kiko raised one finger to his lips and cut him off. "Don't forget, big sis is the doctor."

Her warm breath stimulated White Night. The very next moment, Kiko's gentle face moved close...

A soft, sweet sensation.

White Night responded as well. When feelings had reached this point, what was the point of pretending to restrain himself?

What was going on?

At the hospital, Bronya suddenly felt something strange. Her smooth legs beneath the desk rubbed together unconsciously. "...White Night? That idiot..."

"Bronya is... still working..." A blush stained Bronya's delicate expressionless face.

After forcing herself to finish handling the necessary matters, Bronya hung up a "Temporarily Away" sign and hurried to the break room.

"It should be fine for just a little while, right? As long as there aren't any particularly critical patients, the others can handle them."

As if convincing herself, Bronya's pale, slender hand slowly moved downward...

"Mmm... haaah~ Not fair..."

Amid intermittent sounds, Bronya's voice carried traces of seduction. "Clearly... White Night isn't affected at all, mmm... Or is it... that Bronya is too sensitive?"

"What if...?"

At least at that moment, Bronya had the impulse to reconnect the half-severed link between their two bodies!

It was practically self-destruction.

After all... the sensations were weakened while the connection was only half active. Once it was restored, the feeling would definitely be much stronger. Of course, after reconnecting it, Bronya's sensations would also be transmitted over.

"Mmm... Forget it, for... for Kiko's sake..." In the end, she still gave up.

It continued until the afternoon. Even then, it was only because Kiko could no longer endure it first that the "battle" finally came to an end.

"Xiao Bai, has big sis been too indulgent?"

After recovering some strength, Kiko's soft, fragrant body pressed tightly against White Night's. Reason gradually took the upper hand. "Big sis didn't even go to the hospital today."

"Even though big sis is supposed to be a doctor." As she spoke, Kiko gently leaned against White Night's muscular chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat.

"It's okay, Kiko."

White Night's strong arms wrapped around Kiko's jade-like body, as if silently giving her strength. "Kiko has already done very well. You should rest once in a while too."

"As for the hospital, Bronya..."

He suddenly trailed off. White Night seemed to have remembered something, and his expression became slightly strange.

But he quickly pretended nothing had happened and continued, "Bronya went there specifically to handle consultations. Don't worry, Kiko. Don't you trust her ability?"

"Bronya..."

Only then did Kiko feel at ease. White Night and Bronya had both learned medicine from her. Though it was not obvious normally, they had long since become capable of standing on their own.

"Come to think of it, Xiao Bai will be going to see Edelweiss later, right?" After being the first to taste the soup, she was naturally confident and secure.

"Uh, well..."

The sudden topic made White Night feel awkward. No matter what, bringing up another girl in front of one girl... was simply courting death!

"It's okay~"

Kiko shifted slightly and looked at White Night face-to-face, her gaze brimming with love. Little by little, she tidied the stray hair over White Night's forehead. "After all, my Xiao Bai deserves anyone."
