Early the next morning......

The sound of the rain shows no signs of stopping, and of course, it is almost impossible to go out in such weather......

But at least it can also function as an alarm clock.

Especially for people like Yuna, who have difficulty getting out of bed and are lazy and have advanced cancer, they have tried and tested.

Today, however, seemed to be an exception, and the whole room seemed to be quiet, and there was no sign of anyone coming.

But he was really left late last night by his unprovoked temper tantrum.

But even so, Lemuel did not complain.

Because I don't want to be alone; I don't want to make the fact that "ah, my sister has left" more eye-catching; More realistic......

For this reason –

"Don't go!"

The ghost blurted it out like this.

Even she herself found it incredible.

And the reason why I say this is just to make myself less lonely-

"Sister......

Yuna staggered to the living room was still sleepy-eyed, and of course, she was only wearing a thin shirt and pajamas.

"It's cold!"

Suddenly realizing this, he quickly turned on the air conditioner, and gradually the whole room finally became less cold.

Then, when she bypassed the dining table to get something to eat in the refrigerator, she noticed a note pressed under the keychain—

"Breakfast is in the microwave, remember to pout before eating."

It says so.

It seems that the guy did a lot of superfluous things before leaving......

“...... A sucker. ”

Sure enough, I was scolded.

However, in the blink of an eye, Yuna couldn't help but laugh because ...... It's fun!

But there's still a line on that sticky note—

"I'll come over at noon if I have time, and don't go into the kitchen until then!"

These words made her frown......

"If you think I'm not good at cooking, just say it! Why be so secretive? ”

- Anyway, I can't compare to my sister anyway!

It's a big fire!

"I'm!"

Thinking like this, she took a big bite of butter bread, and her cheeks suddenly bulged like balloons!

This is clearly the expression that only comes when you are angry with someone.

But because it's a fact, there's no way to refute it.

Immediately after breakfast, she turned on the TV as if bored......

Because today is Saturday and school is closed. That's why it's so good.

But that guy seems to have mentioned it yesterday...... What test did he have today-

"Testing? Like a final test? ”

"Then the explanation is correct, but this test is more performance-oriented."

"In other words, if you don't pass, or swallow zero, it may affect graduation and so on."

"Performance-based testing? That's ——? ”

"Yes, I listened to your advice and changed majors. So you have to pass the test......"

At this point, she realized that the reason why Lemuel was so excited to accept her suggestion that day might not have been a whim.

Apparently he had thought it through before making the decision.

"Ah, is that so? Well...... Come on? ”

Yuna said it lightly, as if she didn't care. This made Lemuel instantly not know what kind of expression to show......

"Well, then, it's time for me to go."

So after washing the dishes and chopsticks, in order to avoid embarrassment, he could only say this, but what he didn't expect was-

"Don't ......"

"Huh? Why? ”

Before he could ask questions, the corners of his clothes were grabbed......

Now, he couldn't figure out what Yuna was up to at all-

"But it's late, huh? Are you afraid to be alone? ”

At this moment, she buried half of her head in the pillow and replied in a very small voice—

"That's it...... Isn't it possible? ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Lemuel sighed.

"Got it, then I'll wait until you're asleep before leaving. That's all right, right? ”

She didn't say anything, that is, she roughly agreed.

- "Sleep, asleep?!" ”

After a while, after Lemuel put the dishes and chopsticks in the cupboard and wiped the table by the way......

The moment he turned back, he was stunned by what he saw—

"It ...... so fast" and so on! What's going on with that sleeping appearance?!

- There has to be a limit to being defenseless, right?

"Besides, I'm a man too, right?"

However, in Yuna's eyes, maybe she is really "an object that doesn't need to be guarded against", right?

Or is she expecting Lemuel to see herself as a "woman" at this moment?

Which one is it? She didn't know why she was in such a mood.

But somewhere deep down...... Indeed looking forward to it.

But this is just wishful thinking to the extreme.

As a younger sister, I know better than anyone that my sister is the only one who will make Lemuel think this way.

- What a nasty thing! What is this inexplicable jealousy?

"Really, it's going to catch a cold if it goes on like this, wake up——!"

However, Yuna didn't react, even though her acting skills had already been seen through......

"Okay, okay, in that case, I can only carry you back to the room-"

As a result, just as imagined, this guy took the initiative to reach out and hook his neck in the process.

That said, this guy is undoubtedly pretending to be asleep.

"Alas......"

What's even more helpless is that at this moment, she is still asking dilemma questions with a drunken expression-

"Me sister or me, which one do you prefer?"

"Idiot, you! Of course it's your sister......"

"Don't, don't call me an idiot......!"

God knows if she's really awake or drunk......

As soon as the words fell, he noticed the empty can Yuna was holding in her right hand......

That's wine, no...... To be precise, it should be a drink with added alcohol.

"But the alcohol content is only 5%, can this be drunk like this?!"

At this moment, Lemuel suddenly felt a strong sense of powerlessness hit him unexpectedly.

Primarily, of course, it refers to the spiritual.

"I don't know how to drink in the first place, but what can I do...... What a hassle. ”

- Because there are some words that can only be said when you are drunk...... Say it without hesitation.

"Don't bother me! Anyway, you all treat me as a burden! Besides, I just don't want you to say that......"

"I said could you be quiet for a while?!"

That's enough to be full of alcohol! No, wait...... It seems like that's not all? Is this the smell of perfume?

"Hey, hey, is there any smell on me? It's not impossible to smell more, right? ”

Sure enough, this guy didn't fall asleep at all!

"Shut up, you're still far from seducing men!"

"Don't treat me like a child! Hey, hey, hey—"

However, judging from her coquettish tone, she is still a child at all!

Lemuel couldn't help but think so.

"So don't move, I'm working hard here, do you know......"

"Good!"

She promised very loudly, but at this moment, it will only make people feel unreliable!

Then, when I finally got to the bedroom and put her on the bed, Yuna was so cold that she said amazingly-

"Now, let's kiss?"

"Huh?! How could that be done? What do you think! ”

"Isn't it really okay? Sure enough, I can't compare to my sister? ”

"That's not the problem at all, is it?!"

As soon as Lemuel's words fell, a mobile phone rang in his trouser pocket, which startled him for a moment—

But even he knew why he had to be a thief to such an extent.

"Hey, ah...... Already asleep? ”

"No, he's taking care of some drunken guy."

"Something drunk? Is that...... Who? ”

"It's your sister, Miss......"

"Aha-haha-thank you!"

Sure enough, they were sisters, and even the usual trick of pretending to be stupid was exactly the same—Lemuel thought as if he couldn't help but laugh.

"But why did you suddenly remember to call me at this time?"

"Do you want to fight you? Why, can't it? ”

"No, no, I just wanted to say it's late, isn't it? Don't...... Can't sleep? ”

"That's right, so I'm here to talk to you!"

And this, for him, is also something that he can't ask for.

However, at this time, Yuna kept yelling next to her for a kiss-

"Na Na Na ...... Kissing, right? ”

"Na ——!"

I even used the way of biting my ears......

“？！”

Suddenly, he couldn't help but shudder.

"What the hell are you trying to do?"

"Isn't that obvious? Hehehehe...... Kiss? ”

"Why has it become a question now?!"

In short, at this moment, Lemuel is already about to be tortured and crazy......

"What's going on here? ...... Lemuel? ”

"Nothing! I could have sworn ......! ”

In an instant, even through the earpiece, you can feel the vinegar of Lila! That's right, she undoubtedly knocked over the vinegar jar.

"How suspicious?"

"No, nothing! I didn't do anything!? ”

He said; While trying to push Yuna, who was already drunk and didn't know what to do, off her body!

However, there is no doubt that it failed...... As a result, the two of them collapsed on the bed in the bedroom together......

And in fact, as Lemuel said, he really didn't do anything.

But even when this is explained, Leela is still skeptical......

"Even if it's Yuna!"

"What do you mean?"

Kissing, of course. Even if you don't talk about this, you know it to each other.

"Kissing, of course!"

"That kind of thing, if you really want to be dissatisfied, I'll make it satisfying until the next vacation!"

"So...... No is no good! Do you hear that?! Even my sister is forbidden!! ”

"Yes! Make sure I'm satisfied! ”

- It's a second answer, this guy is really not ambiguous at all in the honest place!

Is that the so-called integrity of the mouth? No, it doesn't seem to be so simple to generalize......

"So, don't get used to that guy...... Besides, kissing is such a thing, and the only person who can do it with you can be with me is ......"

- The second half of the sentence, if you can, really want to listen to it again......

"Well, can you repeat what you just said?"

“...... Why? ”

"Because I want to hear it again?"

Lemuel blurted out honestly......

"No! I won't say any more. ”

Just listening to the evil thief's laughter, Leela had already guessed what he was thinking at the moment.

"Huh? All right. ”

"Hey, what did you think about being so disappointed?"

As soon as the words fell, even she couldn't help laughing.

"Anyway, there's been a gas leak in the news lately, right?"

It's really an abrupt topic-

But for me at this moment, it doesn't matter as long as I can continue to talk.

"I haven't watched the news during this time?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a special report on the accident on online TV.

"Huh? It's airing now, what's wrong? ”

"No, nothing...... It's just that tomorrow's mission has a little to do with this event. ”

However, her slurring tone made Lemuel care more. In the end, under his questioning, Lila had no choice but to explain all the content of the task.

"But shouldn't this be the jurisdiction of the police?"

"yes, that's what I thought at the time, but Levi...... Including the top management seems to have a different idea than me. ”

Of course, she felt that Levi was too allergic - even if it was arson, it would only be counted as an ordinary accident at best.

And I told him this idea at the time, but the answer I got was-

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Because the site investigators found unusual DNA residues during the inspection and analysis of the site......"

"Do you think it's beast DNA?"

"I don't know, we'll have to go to the scene tomorrow to find out."

After some conversation, Lila also had to admit that his suspicions were indeed not nervous.

"Hmm...... That is, if it goes well, I will see you again? ”

"Maybe? But I can't guarantee that I'll see you, so don't look forward to it? ”

"But even if you say that......"

It's impossible not to look forward to it, right? And the scope of the investigation is so close......

"I know what you're trying to say, but I'll try to make time if I can, okay?"

"In other words, if it goes well, can I look forward to the next date?"

“......”

As a result, I didn't get a response for a long time-

"Lela, are you still listening?"

"Hmm."

"So, is that okay? ...... you just said? ”

Answer, waiting a little too much for people to be a little impatient, but in the end, it didn't make people look forward to it in vain-

"It's really okay with you...... So be it. ”

Since she has already talked to this point, it doesn't matter if she is a little happy on her side, right?

But, despite the fact that this is a matter of course, Lemuel intends to get down to business......

"That, put this aside for now...... I just decided to volunteer—"

"Huh? Why did you suddenly ......?"

However, after listening to his reasoning, Leela accepted it as a matter of course.

"Do you know what this decision means?"

The answer, of course, is yes, and she knows a little better than anyone -

Although Lemuel sometimes said something very willful in front of him, he would never joke about it.

But even then, isn't it too cunning to use the reason "I want to spend more time together"?

- Although I can understand his feelings, and I feel the same way......

However, if you can...... Sure enough, I still don't want him to set foot in this kind of place......

"What else can I say if you've said that? Honestly, I'm glad you can say that—"

"Uh-huh! Have fun, right? ”

I always feel that even through the earpiece, I can imagine his smug expression.

"So, can you come to the closing ceremony in three months?"

"Do you want me to come?"

In the blink of an eye, the two unconsciously began to test each other. I even think it's fun to play like this—

"If you wish, I won't be able to spare time, right?"

- Knowing his own answer, but still pretending to be stupid and asking knowingly, Lela's point is really unstoppable......

"If you have time, I want you to come. What do you think? ”

"Huh? Do you want to say yes? ”

As soon as the words fell, both of them couldn't help laughing.

At this time, Yuna finally fell asleep in a daze-

"I'll leave that guy's business to you?"

As her undisguised snoring was clearly heard by her sister on the other end of the earpiece, Lila couldn't help but laugh and repeat it.

At this time, it seems that even Lemuel was infected with a little sleepiness -

"Sleepy? So, hang up the phone? ”

"No, I want to talk a little longer."

See, he's like a kid at times like these. It's so cute......

"But won't you be able to get up tomorrow? Good ......"

However, at such times, the person who doesn't want to hang up the phone more than him is actually himself.

But this is something that must never be spoken......

"Well, to be honest, I'm a little sleepy—"

So, the two of them hung up the phone. However, even then, Lemuel could not rest. You'll also have to prepare breakfast for Yuna......

Then, as the night wore on, and it was about to fade completely, he left the place......

Of course, all these things, Yuna can't know-

Because, at that time, she was completely captured by the dreamland that couldn't help but linger.
