“Onee-chan? Why do you look so angry?”
“Angry? Fufufu... What are you talking about, Irana? I’m not angry at all.”
Lies. Onee-chan’s aura was clearly menacing. Even Viola, who rarely gets scared, was trembling.
“But, but...”
“Just answer me, Irana... What did you say earlier?”
“I said it’s already getting dark... and... and it’s dangerous for a girl to go out alone.”
She moved closer with an even stronger intimidating aura. Was this really her power? Did she know about her abilities now?
“A-Aria, don’t do this!! Irana is your little sister!! Have mercy on her!!” Viola shouted.
Viola… run! Save yourself! Don’t get involved because of me!! I wanted to scream, but my voice wouldn’t come out.
“Viola, it seems you’re misunderstanding me,” Onee-chan said calmly, brushing past her.
With a mischievous smile, she approached me. I couldn’t help but tremble, but instead of the scolding or punishment I feared, she hugged me tightly and kissed my cheeks repeatedly.
“Ah, you’re the best little sister ever!!”
“...Onee-chan?” I muttered in shock.
The warmth of her hug was overwhelming. Despite everything, it felt soothing, comforting even.
After a few moments, she pulled away and apologized.
“Sorry, Irana... I hugged you so suddenly.”
“...No... Onee-chan doesn’t need to apologize. Instead, I... um... could you... uh... please... do that... again?”
Ahhh! Why did I say that out loud?!
“What did you say, Irana?” she asked, tilting her head.
“Nothing... I was just talking to myself,” I quickly replied, trying to hide my embarrassment.
“Well... I think that’s enough for now. I’m going out now.”
As she left the dorm room, I heard Viola mutter softly, “Me too... hug me and kiss me too.”
Oh no. Viola just realized Onee-chan is a girl, didn’t she? She always thought Onee-chan was a boy, and now she’s clearly flustered.
“Hoo hoo... Looks like Viola’s starting to bend. You’re turning into a lily,” I teased.
“...No, you’re wrong!! Ugh... Stupid siscon!!” she retorted.
“Just admit it... stupid bookworm! And don’t call me a siscon!!”
“Hmph!!...”
Wait!! Don’t teleport away just because you’re embarrassed!!
