Yuki may help

'A while after'

Just wondering like this definitely won't bring an answer. Let's just suppose that sister is paranoic and she is keeping an eye on me. Even too much. Ok, if that's the case, I must absolutely discover how. I'm not a child so I want my freedom. It's a right given by the law! Yes! So, probably she hid a camera somewhere. Think, Kei, think. Where could it be?! "Kei, everybody is gone, we should go home, or maybe go for a walk""Ah, right, thanks Alex. I still have to finish my homework, so I'll be going home now. See you tomorrow""Ah, yeah". It seems I'm not the only one feeling weird. Alex seems kinda dejected and Shizu is looking down.

'I arrived home and did my homework absentmindedly. After that, I started thinking about what happened again.'

Now, Chiyo-nee won't answer me for sure, so with her it's better to pretend that I don't suspect her. She may be the best sister in the world, but I guess she may also have flaws? Ahh, if you're innocent, sorry! Ok, then the best help I can get now is from Yuki. But are we close enough? Ah, forget it, we are siblings, so we are still family. She'll probably listen.

'A little later, I knocked on Yuki's room's door.'

"Yuki, sorry to disturb you now, can I ask you for something?""Oh, come i~n! What's up? You need to talk about something?". Normally it would be weird to talk about something like this with a little sister, but I guess my family itself is just too weird. Mom and dad are too busy for these kinda things, I can't tell them. "Yeah. Actually, I think Chiyo has putted a camera somewhere to keep an eye on me. I might be becoming paranoid with all the things happening, but just to make sure... Anyway, do you have any idea?""Hmmm. If something like that has happened, then it must be on your bag. She gifted that to you, right?""How...?""Family album". She's right. How could I not think of that? "Ah" Does she have something else to say? "Sorry, for now it's better --------- about those thr----. But at least you'll be ready when -------". I hardly heard half of it. So she also knows something. Well I kinda expected it. Things are reveling themselves on their own, my will doesn't seem to matter. Ahhhhuu. If things keep going like this, I'll know about everything only when I won't be able to act. I can't let that happen! I'll get to know about it so that I won't end up involved in it. I wouldn't be able to do anything useful anyway. Now, I'm sure, now that Yuki has told me, the camera must be there!

'I took the bag and the camera was right there, attached to the backpack's straps.'

How could I not notice?!

Storyteller's POV

Meanwhile, in a dark room in the same house (By the way, if it's not clear, it's Chiyo Kishimoto's room. She isn't too fond of light colours or... light in general. Ah, but she isn't a vampire either) Chiyo was looking at the last registrations of the camera. "Oh~, Kei, aren't you being a bit too fast. I'm glad that your power is working, but please don't figure it out too soon. You might be my cute little brother, but if I can keep you all safe, then I don't care if I have to use these methods, so please, don't understand before the right moment. Hmmfh. I didn't expect the camera to change its place and shape. Now you must be thinking that you're stupid, unaware of everything. Truly, I must be extra careful, I can't let anything disrupt it all". Then she looked down. Like, really down. Was her gaze piercing the floor? I can't tell. But it's possible. "You know I can see you. Just because you say you're part of my family, doesn't mean that I trust you. That time I was young and naive, but now I won't let anything happen. So now I might be helping you, but not for you. And I know you can hear me, so in the future don't pretend that this hasn't happened. Ok, enough. I'll get to work now". She just said she was naive and young, but being 18 isn't being old. This girl really doesn't understand that youth isn't forever. She should enjoy herself more.
