The next morning, Yunyi got up very early and busied herself in the kitchen.
"Tap~ Tap~"
Hearing footsteps behind him, Yunyi paused slightly. He turned to look at the twins who were walking into the kitchen and said, "You didn't sleep in today, that's not like you two."
"Oh, brother, please don't make fun of us." Izumi Saegusa's face flushed slightly as she complained somewhat unhappily.
"Alright, alright, I won't laugh at you. Tell me, why are you up so early?" Yunyi asked again.
Kasumi Saegusa scratched her head sheepishly, "Brother, we're hungry."
Yunyi looked at the two of them, puzzled. " Mayumi not letting you eat dinner yesterday?"
"Those two were throwing a tantrum yesterday and wouldn't eat properly!" Yunyi's Kanon had barely finished when Mayumi Saegusa's voice came in.
Seeing her walk into the kitchen, Kasumi Saegusa and Izumi Saegusa involuntarily shrank back.
Yunyi looked at the two of them helplessly. "Tell me, what happened last night? Why were you throwing a tantrum?"
Izumi Saegusa looked at Yunyi, pursed her lips, and said nothing. Seeing this, Kasumi Saegusa stepped forward, pouting, and said, "Brother, why did you let that woman live in the house?"
"That woman? Oh, you mean Lina?" Yunyi asked back, "What, did you get into a conflict with her?"
The twins shook their heads. They hadn't actually clashed with Lina; they just didn't like her living in their house.
Seeing their expressions, Yunyi patted their heads in an annoyed tone. "You two, are you jealous of your sister, or do you have your own little schemes?"
Hearing him say that, Mayumi Saegusa, who was standing to the side, pinched him and then pushed him and his two younger sisters out of the kitchen. " Yunyi-kun, go and explain to them. I'll take care of breakfast."
Seeing this, Yunyi didn't say much. After leading the twins to sit down in the living room, he looked at the two of them and said, "Tell me, why are you so resistant to Lina?"
Kasumi Saegusa and Izumi Saegusa exchanged a glance, and finally Izumi Saegusa spoke up, "We don't want our brother to be taken away."
Upon hearing this answer, Yunyi was completely stunned.
"Wait, Little Izumi, do you know what you're saying?" Yunyi quickly stopped Izumi Saegusa, who was about to continue.
The twins looked at Yunyi with confusion, but they still nodded.
"We just don't want her to take our brother away, that's why we don't want her living in our house," said Kasumi Saegusa.
"What is all this nonsense?" Yunyi raised his hand to his forehead, almost speechless at the twins' answer.
"Saying I stole you is ridiculous. What kind of relationship do you think Lina and I have? We're just friends, nothing special," Yunyi said helplessly.
"Really?" Kasumi Saegusa didn't believe it, and Izumi Saegusa was also looking at Yunyi.
"Of course it's true!" Yunyi sighed. He really wanted to crack open the skulls of these two little girls to see if their internal structures were different from others.
"Oh, so you mean my brother won't leave with her?" Izumi Saegusa pressed.
"Leave? Me and Lina together? What on earth would you two have such a thought?" Yunyi was completely bewildered. He couldn't understand why these two girls had misunderstood him.
"But brother, weren't you supposed to meet with her superior? And you even talked about naturalization?" Izumi Saegusa asked cautiously.
"Well, so you two overheard that conversation the other day." Hearing Izumi Saegusa say this, Yunyi finally understood why the two of them had such a misunderstanding.
"Although Lina is a bit dim-witted, she's still my friend. I have to give her face since her superior wants to meet with me. Besides, I also want to make contact with the America military and find out some things. As for naturalization, that's impossible. I have my own ideas and will not naturalize for any country," Yunyi said.
"Hey, stop calling me stupid or dumb, okay? I always hear it!" Just as Yunyi finished Kanon, Lina's voice came from the direction of the stairs.
"I'm just stating the facts, are you going to disagree?" Yunyi turned to look at Lina and shrugged.
"You!" Lina was speechless. She was indeed very indignant, but what could she do? She couldn't beat them in a fight, and she couldn't win an argument with them. In the end, she was the only one left to suffer and be bullied.
"Speaking of which, how long do you plan to stay in Japan?" Yunyi asked a question that seemed to be of interest to her.
In the original story, Lina gained admission to First High School through a three-month exchange program with Shizuku Kitayama. Her main purpose in coming to Japan was to investigate the magician who used the Strategic-Class Magic " Material Burst " during the " Scorched Halloween "Japan incident. As for the mission to hunt " Parasite," it can be considered a coincidence.
But right now, her goal is to get close to him. Yunyi naturally knows why. But Lina should know very well that he is impossible to naturalize. Agreeing to meet with Virginia Barans is already the greatest achievement she can make.
"The military's orders were to arrange my return home after the ' Parasite ' hunting mission was completed. But my mission failed, and 'STARS' suffered heavy losses. There are no new orders yet, so I can only continue being a student at First High School for now." Lina's tone was filled with sadness and disappointment, along with a hint of ambiguous emotion.
"If you ask me, you should take this opportunity to fake your death in battle and retire directly. Someone like you will be ruined sooner or later if you stay in the army," Yunyi, pursing his lips.
"What do you mean 'you'll be ruined'?! Can't you say something nice?" Lina retorted angrily.
Yunyi shrugged again. If he didn't want to hear the truth, he might as well not say anything! Lina couldn't do anything about it. She snorted and turned her head to the side, ignoring Yunyi as well.
Kasumi Saegusa and Izumi Saegusa sat between the two, watching them banter with utter disbelief. They hadn't had time to think much about the military, orders, and "STARS" in their conversation.
Fortunately, Mayumi Saegusa came out of the kitchen at that moment. Seeing that Lina had also come downstairs, she greeted her with a light laugh, "Breakfast is ready. Kasumi and Izumi, come and help."
