Dual Souls, The Other Half is Bronya

"Sister Kiko."

Pushing Kiko into the living room... well, calling it a living room was generous, it was just a small room. The lounge wasn't that big, after all. "Can you act a little more mature?"

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

"..."

Bronya turned her head, her face flushing slightly. She could handle many situations, but directness was not one of them.

"Dinner's ready." Byakuya leaned against the doorframe, gently tapping it to break the ambiguous atmosphere.

Then, Byakuya walked back to the kitchen. "Also, Sister Kiko, it's about time you put some clothes on."

During the meal, Byakuya and Bronya chatted with Yakushi Kiriko about many things, but they deliberately avoided that one topic.

Afterward, Yakushi Kiriko re-examined some patients, and her work for the day was finished.

Thanks to Byakuya and Bronya's arrival, Yakushi Kiriko, for once, didn't spend the night in the lounge. Instead, she returned to her residence, which she had bought right next to the hospital.

"Mmm~"

A cloud of warm steam rose as Bronya's delicate feet slowly submerged into the water, reaching all the way up to her shoulders.

She let out a long sigh, not thinking about anything else, and gradually relaxed.

"A bath after a day's work is just perfect. Don't you think so, Bronya?"

Yakushi Kiriko joined her from the side. Beneath the clear water, Kiko's curvaceous figure was fully visible. "Speaking of which, how long has it been since we last bathed together..."

"Sister Kiko, Bronya has grown up." Her tone was tinged with a hint of helplessness.

"Yes..."

Yakushi Kiriko sighed, then shifted her body, leaning closer to Bronya from under the water. "So some things, you've already started hiding from your big sister, haven't you~"

"...You already know, Sister Kiko?"

"Isn't that obvious?"

As she spoke, Kiko lifted a hand from the water and gently brushed aside the silver strands of hair on Bronya's forehead. "After all, I, your big sister, love you both the most."

—Regarding Byakuya's recent situation, Yakushi Kiriko had inquired with Shinguji Kuroko and had a general idea. "The Dawn Academy incident, right? You've already met her."

"..., I'm sorry, Sister Kiko..."

"No need to apologize to your big sister."

Kiko leaned closer, her forehead touching Bronya's. Her tone remained as gentle as ever. "Little White has someone she likes, and of course, I support her."

"Besides, Little White likes you too, doesn't she? I saw it before~"

After the bath, Bronya returned to her room to sleep, but this time Kiko didn't follow her.

"Since you've decided, there's no need to hesitate, is there?"

Wearing a light silk nightgown, her beautiful figure subtly revealed beneath the sheer fabric, Kiko encouraged herself. "Let's go for it in one go!"

"Creaaak—"

In the quiet night, the sound of a door opening was incredibly clear, waking Byakuya. "...Sister Kiko?"

"Little White~"

Unlike her usual gentle demeanor, Kiko's call was almost dripping with seduction.

She used all four limbs to climb onto the bed, step by step. The darkness of the night couldn't obstruct Byakuya's vision; instead, it enhanced her mysterious aura...

Her emerald eyes seemed to be on the verge of tears, radiating an intense, deep affection. "Is it okay?"

Before Byakuya could say anything, Kiko added, "I know you're greedy, Little White, but I don't care~"

"After all, in this world..."

As she spoke, Kiko pressed herself fully against Byakuya, who could feel her warm breath. "...where does anyone just fall from the sky?"

"But that has nothing to do with me. I just know that I really like you, Little White. So, is it okay?"

"...Are you really sure about this, Sister Kiko? Because I absolutely, absolutely won't let go!"

"That's exactly how it should be~"

One hand caressed Byakuya's cheek like a lover's, Kiko's eyes filled with adoration. "I've known for a long time that you would definitely take responsibility."

"Little White, I love you~"

51. My Little White Deserves Anyone

Hmm... what time is it?

A hand casually reached out, picking up the student handbook from the bedside table... Byakuya's eyes fluttered open, and she saw the time displayed. Is it already this late?

The light was blocked by the curtains, and the slightly dim bedroom vaguely showed scattered clothing. The air was filled with the scent of shinan flowers.

Even now, beneath the thin duvet, Byakuya could still feel that soft, warm, jade-like touch.

This isn't some angel in white, it's a succubus! But no matter what kind of Kiko she was, Byakuya liked her.

"Mmm... No, no more..."

She had probably stayed up quite late, her consciousness a bit fuzzy. Feeling Byakuya's movements, Kiko curled up slightly, murmuring a few words like a sleepy ramble.

Heh~

A wave of warmth surged in his heart. Byakuya smiled unconsciously, then leaned down and gently kissed Kiko's forehead... You've worked hard, Kiko-neechan... No, Kiko.

For today, let's just get some good rest~

Byakuya withdrew from the bed, being careful not to disturb Kiko. After tucking the blanket around her, Byakuya turned into a flash of electricity, flickering out through the door gap, everything as quiet as could be.

"Eh, is that Bronya?"

A simple, exquisite breakfast was laid out on the dining table, with a small note tucked under the plate:

—Bronya is at the hospital for her clinic hours. Tell Kiko-neechan she has the day off and should rest well at home.

"Is everything handled..."

Byakuya put down the note in his hand. After a moment's thought, he found nothing that needed adding, so he picked up the tray and headed for the bedroom. "Wait, what about my portion?"

"Did she deliberately leave it out?"

Upon returning to the bedroom, Byakuya yanked open the curtains... White bedsheets fluttered in the yard. "So that's how it is. My emotions were too intense last night, did some of it transfer?"

The thought of Bronya performing Non-chanting Water Magic all by herself made Byakuya chuckle. "So that's why she left mine out? That's a pretty cute little revenge."

He tidied up the room and opened the window for ventilation. Then... he folded his arms, resting his upper body on the edge of the bed, quietly admiring Kiko's sleeping face.

Soft sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating Kiko, who slept peacefully with her fragrant shoulder half-exposed, adding a touch of gentle beauty to her demeanor.

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

With one hand, he gently brushed a strand of Kiko's emerald hair, a warm smile appearing on Byakuya's face.

Love and desire. When "desire" is temporarily satisfied, all that remains is the purest form of love. A beautiful scene slowly unfolded at this moment.

"Mmm..."

After a long while, Kiko, lying in bed, slowly woke up. The first thing she saw upon opening her eyes was Byakuya's handsome face.

Kiko smiled knowingly, then extended a pair of smooth arms from under the blanket. The blanket slipped down lightly, revealing large expanses of fair skin that couldn't be hidden, exposed to view.

But Kiko clearly didn't mind. She pouted at Byakuya, her voice incredibly soft and sweet, "Little White, hug~"

"What can I do with you..."

After a night of passion, what else was there for him not to have seen? Byakuya embraced her openly without pretense, "Good morning to you too, Kiko."

The suffix "neechan" was gone. Kiko didn't know why, but she felt a jolt of pleasure run through her, and couldn't help but continue to pout, "Little White, say it again, I want to hear it."

"Alright, Kiko."

Byakuya naturally fulfilled this small request. His voice filled with deep affection, he whispered into Kiko's ear, "My Kiko, it's time to get up."

"But I don't want to get up~"

As she spoke, a glow of Magic Power flickered. Kiko's fair arms suddenly exerted force, throwing Byakuya onto the bed. "Sister only wants Little White."

"Kiko, your body..."

Seeing Byakuya about to say more, Kiko raised an index finger to his lips, interrupting him. "Don't forget, I'm the doctor here."

Her warm breath stimulated Byakuya. And in the next moment, Kiko's gentle face leaned in...

A soft, sweet sensation.

At this, Byakuya responded in kind. After all, when the passion ran deep, why pretend to hold back?

What's going on?

At the hospital, Bronya suddenly felt a strange sensation, her smooth thighs unconsciously rubbing under the desk. "...Byakuya? That idiot..."

"Bronya is... still working..." A blush crept onto Bronya's delicate, expressionless face.

Forcing herself to finish the necessary tasks, Bronya hung up the "Away" sign and hurried to the break room.

"It's just for a little while, it should be fine, right? As long as it's not a particularly critical patient, I'll leave it to others."

As if convincing herself, Bronya's fair, slender hand slowly moved down...

"Mmm... Haa~ Unfair..."

Broken sounds emerged, Bronya's voice tinged with a hint of seductiveness. "Clearly... Byakuya isn't affected... Or is it... that Bronya is just too sensitive?"

"Or maybe...?"

At least at this moment, Bronya felt an urge—to reconnect the severed link between her two bodies!

It was akin to self-destruction.

After all... the sensation of being semi-severed was diminished; reconnecting it would surely make the feeling much more intense. Of course, after reconnecting, Bronya's side would also be affected.

"Mmm... Forget it, for... for Kiko-neechan's sake..." But she ultimately gave up.

Time continued until the afternoon. It was only because Kiko couldn't take it anymore that the "battle" finally came to an end.

"Little White, am I being too indulgent?"

Having recovered some strength, Kiko's warm, soft body pressed tightly against Byakuya, her rationality gradually taking over. "I didn't even go to the hospital today."

"Even though my main job is a doctor." As she spoke, Kiko leaned gently against Byakuya's firm chest, listening to his strong heartbeat.

"It's okay, Kiko."

Byakuya's strong arms wrapped around Kiko's jade-like body, as if silently giving her strength. "You've already done a great job, Kiko. It's rare for you to rest, so take it easy."

"As for the hospital, Bronya..."

Byakuya suddenly faltered. He seemed to have thought of something, his expression turning a little strange.

But he quickly pretended nothing was wrong and continued, "Bronya has already gone to see patients specifically. Don't worry, Kiko, don't you trust her skills?"

"Bronya..."

Kiko finally relaxed. Byakuya and Bronya had learned medicine from her, and although it wasn't obvious usually, they were already capable of handling things on their own.

"Speaking of which, are you going to see Edelweiss soon, Little White?" After winning the first round, she felt emboldened and secure.

"Uh, that..."

Caught off guard by the topic, Byakuya couldn't help but feel a bit awkward. After all, no matter how you looked at it, bringing up another woman in front of a girl... was practically asking for trouble!

"It's okay~"

Kiko turned slightly to face Byakuya, her gaze full of affection. She gently tidied the stray hairs on Byakuya's forehead. "After all, my Little White, he deserves anyone."
