Sibling Talk

While talking with Tohka, Shido, on the other hand, is cooking food for everybody.

Well, he has been doing this for a long time so even if someone merges with him, it doesn't mean that he will stop being himself.

Within minutes, his food is ready.

…

Right after Tohka's arrival with him in this house, he put a command around his house to make her always remember his words and thought about her actions.

She can go out but he decided to delay it and make her little sister talks with him.

Until then, Tohka couldn't get out.

As her brother, Shido needs to follow his alibi when Kotori talks seriously with him.

-"She is my friend. Earlier, the space quake destroys her house so she will stay here for a while."

That is his alibi to let Tohka temporarily live with them.

Although he knows that she knows who Tohka is, he decided to play dumb.

…

Today he decided to be absent from school.

In front of him are his sister and a woman.

The siblings are now trying to open a conversation about her secrets.

At first, she thought to force him to accept this without giving any reason but for some reason, she couldn't do it.

She felt that the brother in front of her is kinda different from the other day.

So right now, their conversation is very serious.

First, she introduced her companion.

"This is Reine Murasame."

They exchange some words and continue the main point of their conversation.

She said about the Ratatoskr, the goal of their organization, Tohka's existence, their enemy, and other basic stuff he need to know.

She also said many things that he needed to know but surprisingly, she couldn't see any change of expression on his face.

The reason is simple after all, right?

However, she didn't expect him to not show any expression so she doesn't what to do.

Anyway, after the conversation, Reine left them.

Kotori wants to grab her when suddenly she thought to bare it.

After all, this is sibling talk.

It's very silent.

The living room is very silent.

By the way, Tohka is in his room, playing on his computer.

Surprisingly, she was able to learn to use the computer for a short time but it only revolves around games so she doesn't any idea about social media or how to exit or change her game.

Kotori was about to talk when suddenly he talks first.

"So what do you want me to do?"

She showed a confused expression on her face, not knowing why he asked her like that.

"You said many secrets so it means that you wanted me to do something, right?"

"It seems that my brother got mature huh?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Well, after all, you are a timid and incompetent person but the "you" right now gives a vibe to someone I can rely on something."

Hearing her words, veins appear on his head but he didn't take that to his heart, instead, he inwardly mock himself that he was that kind of person.

After that, she said what she needed.

"I want you to seal all the spirits before the enemies. And to do that, you need to make them fall in love."

"Sure. No problem."

She felt weird and a bit worry about the changes in her brother but for the sake of her goal, she decided to accept her new brother.

The night ended but Kotori couldn't get away from the feeling that something is wrong with their conversation.

Like she forgot something, something… something…

And even the next day, she couldn't take off this feeling.

However, she doesn't why she feels this so instead of taking the linger, she decided to move on.
