"I promise I won't get your room dirty."
"Pfft!"
Zhuzhu was both embarrassed and angry. She pinched Amamiya Natsuki hard at the waist with her little hand and snapped, "I meant you're covered in sweat! What are you thinking?"
Amamiya Natsuki looked innocent.
"It's so hot out. Isn't it normal to sweat?"
"Hmph~" Zhuzhu gave a quiet huff. Hearing the door open, she gritted her teeth, grabbed Amamiya Natsuki, and ran toward the bathroom. "Hide in the bathroom first."
Amamiya Natsuki didn't object. He obediently let Zhuzhu pull him inside.
"Stay hidden," Zhuzhu warned in a low voice. "Don't make a sound, and don't let Shinju find you."
She was just your little sister, so why did you have to sneak around like this?!
Amamiya Natsuki nodded and covered his mouth to show he understood.
Click.
As they spoke, the door soon opened.
The next moment, quick footsteps headed straight for the bathroom.
"Shinju, you're back?"
Zhuzhu called out from inside the bathroom.
"Eh, is Sister in the bathroom?"
A soft, timid voice soon came from outside. It sounded a little like Shoko's.
Amamiya Natsuki had never actually met Zhuzhu's little sister. He'd only seen a childhood group photo of Little Sister Beast in Zhuzhu's room, so he had no idea what she looked like now.
"Sister, when are you coming out?" Shinju asked timidly. "It's so hot outside, and I'm all sweaty. I want to take a bath."
"J-just a little longer..." Zhuzhu gritted her teeth, her mind racing. "I'm taking a bath too. Go have some ice cream first and wait for me."
"Okay." Shinju agreed, then asked in confusion, "Sister, why can't I hear any water?"
Stare—
Zhuzhu had no choice but to turn and look at Amamiya Natsuki.
"Got it."
Amamiya Natsuki gave a small nod
