Let me check if you are injured

"Excuse me! Kei, I shouldn't have kept this a secret from you."

  To appease his little sister's emotions, Ryota doesn't hesitate to apologize:

  "I was wrong, please forgive me!"

  "You really know you're wrong?"

  "Of course!"

  The very formal and impressive apology took Kei a little by surprise.

  The feeling of being appreciated lightened her sad mood a bit. But her mouth was still unforgiving.

  "Really, you don't want to carry everything by yourself, am I so unworthy of your trust?"

  "Of course it's worth it! This is my fault. I shouldn't have lied to you. Sorry to make you feel guilty."

  Ryota adopts an "it's all my fault" mode of speaking.

  It must be said that the effect is quite good. Kei's mood immediately stabilized.

  "Hmph… good you know."

  Kei looked relieved, and her tone softened: "It will happen again in the future… No, it's best that something like this doesn't happen forever. Besides, Nii-san just doesn't want to lie to me anymore."

  "No, not again." Ryota reassured: "I hid it from you before because I was afraid that you would be anxious and worried, but if this kind of behavior makes you worry more, isn't it pointless?"

  "In that case, I will forgive you this time."

  Kei finally let go. After she calmed down, she wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes, blushing slightly.

  Losing her cool in front of Ryota. However, compared to the past, at least she wouldn't be embarrassed to run away now. Even if she looked like she was crying, she was just a little embarrassed.

  Kei adjusted her mentality, pulled Ryota into the living room, and asked:

  "Nii-san has eaten?"

  "Don't worry, I eat at 7 p.m."

  "You're not lying to me?"

  "...Kei, you are a bit suspicious. I will not lie to you every word. Don't say it's not necessary. It's really hard to do this kind of thing, right?"

  Ryota said helplessly: "And now it's already 11 p.m, even if I haven't eaten, it's not suitable for eating. In short, don't worry, I've already eaten."

  After he finished speaking, he covered his mouth with his hand and yawned slightly. It wasn't like he found his little sister's worries bothersome, so he pretended to be sleepy.

  He was really tired. Even though the previous battle didn't last long, he pushed himself too far, and was even walking on the brink of death. As soon as he relaxed, the accumulated mental fatigue quickly broke apart.

  "Nii-san is sleepy?"

  Kei realized his strangeness.

  "Yes."

  Ryota nodded. Of the promise he had just made, he said honestly: "Today's battle is too dangerous, life and death are at stake, and nerves are too tense. But don't worry, I will regain my energy after sleeping."

  "This is very dangerous..."

  "It's okay, it's over."

  Ryota smiled, and patted Kei's head lightly: "Trust your brother and my strength."

  "I've kept the temperature of your bath water constant, so just soak in it."

  After Kei finished speaking, she went to Ryota's bedroom on the second floor, and took pajamas and changed into underwear.

  "Since you are tired, change your clothes after soaking, and go to sleep quickly."

  "Kei..."

  Ryota looked at the clothes in his little sister's hands. Focusing on the underwear, he looked carefully and said:

  "This kind of thing… ahem, let me do it myself in the future."

  What happened to Kei today?

  When she entered the verandah just now, she helped his organize his shoes and took out his sandals.

  Now pajamas and underpants. Isn't this instantly being a good wife who does all the household chores?

  "Go, Nii-san."

  Kei pushed Ryota behind her. Under the girl's gentle strength, Ryota entered the bathroom.

  After washing his body, he lay down in the bath. However, just as he let out a pleasant groan after being warmed by the warm water, the bedroom door was suddenly pushed open.

  Kei stuck out her little head. The girl's cheeks turned red, but she still held back her embarrassment and looked at Ryota in the bath.

  Ryota: "..."

  Even though Kei couldn't see what she shouldn't see from this angle, Ryota subconsciously blocked himself with his hand.

  At the same time, as calm as possible, he asked: "Kei, what are you… doing there?"

  "Check if you're injured."

  Kei's tone was a little hesitant: "Just, you just put on clothes, I don't know, I'm afraid you will lie to me..."

  "How about now?" Ryota said speechlessly.

  "Confirmation complete, you are not lying."

  Kei swallowed hard.

  Ryota's figure is extraordinary. Although he is tall, he looks very well-proportioned. Abdominal muscles and muscle lines are perfect, giving him a sense of strength, and his chest is also very wide.

  So handsome with wet hair...

  Kei felt her cheeks heat up.

  "I'll be out first. After you are done soaking, go to bed early!"

  After screaming frantically, she pulled her head back very quickly and closed the bathroom door. Then she leaned her back against the frosted glass door, her heart pounding.

  The way Moeha said really worked. Pushing herself with valid reasons, she also dared to peek in the bathroom, and that small detail previously made Ryota care about her too.

  Sure enough, the routine still needs to be studied further.

  The other side.

  Ryota was lying in the bath, feeling his sleepiness relieved by Kei.

  Not good...

  Kei no longer minded showing her affection at home, and even dared to do some small acts.

  Not that Ryota hated her for doing this. On the other hand, the Shirogane family wasn't the only two of them living there!

  If something shameful had happened to Papa Shirogane and Miyuki, he didn't know how to explain it.

  (I have to find a chance to confront Kei's intentions.)

  Ryota made a decision in his heart.

  ...

  After taking a shower, Ryota came to the bedroom on the second floor.

  Opening the bedroom door, he was relieved to find that it was empty and no sign of Kei.

  If a girl suddenly appeared on the bed in his bedroom in cute pajamas and asked to sleep with him tonight, he wasn't sure if he would do something bloody.

  Luckily, Kei's guts had yet to evolve to that level.

  Thinking of this, Ryota suddenly froze.

  (Kei is only 14 years old and there are two other members of the Shirogane family not far away, what kind of perverted thing was I thinking...)

  Shaking his head slightly, after getting rid of the irrelevant thoughts, he lay down on the bed, and his fatigue suddenly set in.

He soon fell asleep. After a while, a red light flashed in the bedroom.

  Ming Hong appeared on time, she sat on Ryota's waist, stared blankly at his face for a while, then reached out to touch and squeeze his face.

  After doing this, she immediately climbed into bed. But this time, Ryota's sleeping position has undergone some changes.

  Maybe it was because he was "tongue-kissed" by Kurumi in the afternoon, and teased by Kei at night, which made him feel a little disorganized.

  After feeling a small warm object beside him, he hugged her, and clamped his legs, as if tightly hugging a pillow.

  Ming Hong naturally sensed Ryota's enthusiasm. But she didn't show the slightest embarrassed reaction, instead she naturally snuggled into Ryota's embrace, responded to his wish, and fell asleep sweetly.

  .....

  The next morning.

  When Kei comes to ask Ryota to get up for breakfast, she sees a sight that makes her blood pressure soar.
