âItâs strange that only Iroha-chan has mosquito bites!â
Ah-nee pointed out.
Ever since that Halloween, Angu Ogu has become a kissing demon⦠Oh no!
Thanks to Ah-nee suddenly coming to America, fresh kiss marks are still vividly visible.
Moreover, she said, âIâll make up for tomorrow by doing lots today!â and did even more than usual.
âT-t-t-thatâs not true, Anego!? B-b-because we have separate rooms!?â
âHuh? But you use the same bed when you sleep, right?â
ââGyaaaaa!?!?!?ââ
What!? How does she know that!?
We were supposed to keep that a secret from Ah-nee!
Angu Ogu, you fool!
If you had at least said, âIroha is going to school,â we might have had a chance to cover it up!
âBy the way, Ah-nee, how did you find out?â
Ah-nee is a real detective today. At the very least, we need to figure out the cause so that rumors donât spread and Mai doesnât find out.
âHuh? Because⦠if it were me, Iâd want to sleep together every day!â
âThatâs not a deduction; itâs just your opinion!â
âHmm? Well, but in reality, the two of you were sleeping together!â
âD-darn it!?â
Instead of filling the hole, we dug our own graves.
Angu Ogu protested with her eyes saying, âWhat are you doing!?â Sorry!
âPeek-a-boo~! Peek-a-boo~! I want to sleep with Iroha-chan every day too~!ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âStop it! That would kill Iroha!â
âEh~? Even Mai used to cling to me saying âOnee-chan, Onee-chan,â but now if I just get into bed, she gets angry and tries to kick me out of the room. Is this what puberty is like~? Onee-chan is so lonely.â
âItâs the way you sleep!â
âWell, anyway, because of that⦠strangely, Angu Ogu doesnât have mosquito bites like Iroha-chan. In other wordsââ
Angu Ogu and I swallowed nervously.
Finally, our secret might be discovered by Ah-neeâ¦!?
âIn other words! Iroha-chanâs blood is really tasty!â
We both staggered and almost fell over.
Thatâs right. Ah-nee is an idiot.
But is she entirely wrong? It seems vampires like my blood.
No way, she doesnât know it started on Halloween, right?
ãUh, can we resume now?ã
As the conversation wrapped up, the dance instructor called out.
After that, I managed to finish recording the collaboration song, barely aliveâ¦
***
âWeâre⦠homeâ¦â âWeâre home~â âHome~!â
By the time we returned home, it was already night.
I headed straight for the sofa and collapsed.
âI canât move another step.â
Then, Angu Ogu collapsed onto me as if it were the most natural thing.
A muffled sound escaped from my mouth.
âIâm tired too.â
âOogu, youâre heavy. And hot.â
âAah!? You two are cheating! I want in tooâ¦!â
âWait!? Idiot!?â
âDive!â
âGyaaaaaaa!?â "Gwaaah!?â
Ah-neeâs jumping body press!
The attack hit both of us! It was super effective!
âOw ow owâ¦â
âOuch⦠wait, what!? Iroha is squished!⦠Well, she was flat to begin with.â
âNo time for jokes⦠Ah-nee, get off.â
âHahaha! Alright. Recording was fun~. I wanted to dance more!â
We shot a horrified look at Ah-nee.
Is she a monster!?
Even though she was the one moving the most, where does all that energy come from?
âAh-nee? We ate dinner on the way back, so can we go to bed now? Iâm at my limitâ¦â
âI feel the same way.â
âWhat!? The night has just begun!â
âPlease, letâs do it tomorrow!? Look, you came a day early, so we have tomorrow free!â
âWell, okay then. Shall we sleep together, all three of us?â
âAh-nee, sleep alone!â âAnego, sleep alone!â
âEh~, donât say that~!⦠Fine. Then, at least let Iroha-chan sleep with me~?â
âEh?â
âNo? But you two always sleep together, right?â
âUgh!? Iâm weak to that argument.â
âBesides, are you going to leave your sister who came all the way to America alone? So lonely~â
âUgh!? Angu Ogu!â
I looked at Angu Ogu for help.
Usually, she would jump in and say, âI wonât give Iroha to you!â
However, Angu Ogu was silent and seemed conflicted. Huh? Angu Ogu?
Finally, she averted her eyes and said.
âItâs fine, isnât it? Iroha, Anego rarely visits, so you should indulge her.â
âWhat are you saying!?â
She betrayed me.
Thatâs different from what you usually say!
âCanât help it! Anego's argument makes sense.â
âThatâs true, butâ¦â
ââ¦And Iâm tired too (mumbling).â
âI heard that! Donât try to push Ah-nee onto me!â
âShut up! I donât want to get involved in Ah-neeâs sleeping habits!â
âYou said it! I donât want to either! I want to sleep peacefully tonight⦠eek!?â
While arguing with Angu Ogu, suddenly my body was lifted.
Before I knew it, Ah-nee was carrying me princess-style. Reflexively, I clung tightly.
âAlright, letâs go to Iroha-chanâs room!â
âWhat about my opinion!?â
âIroha, we wonât forget your sacrifice.â
âIâll never forgive you, Angu Ogu!â
With that, the door closed with a bang.
In the dark room, Ah-neeâs voice echoed, âIroha-chan⦠now itâs just the two of us.â
âGyaaaaaaa!?â
I screamed.
