What I want to ask you is...

Ryan put on a casual outfit, sweatpants and a white shirt, nothing too different from his usual style. He walked to the door, saying in a relaxed tone: "I'll be back soon, Yuki!"

As soon as he turned around, he was met by Yuki, who was dressed casually but with a lot of charm. Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail, with a white bow that highlighted the shine of her long, dark locks.

She wore a light gray jacket with the zipper open, revealing a tight black tank top with a subtle white detail in the center. The contrast of the tank top accentuated her fair skin tone, and the lightness of the jacket gave her a relaxed vibe.

Her light-wash denim shorts with frayed hems showed off her legs, completing the laid-back and perfect look for the hot weather. On her feet, she wore black strap sandals, matching the simplicity of the outfit but maintaining a natural and approachable charm.

Yuki had a slight smirk, her hands behind her back, as she asked: "Onii-chan... Aren't you forgetting something?"

Ryan tilted his head, patting his pants pockets. "Hmmm..." He felt a mental snap and exclaimed: "Oh! I almost forgot my phone!" He ran to the couch, grabbed the device, and thanked her: "Thanks, sis!"

Yuki looked at him with a deadpan expression, arms crossed. "You're not forgetting anything else, are you?"

Ryan scratched his head, thoughtful. "Huh... I don't think so?"

Yuki sighed but then placed her hand on her stomach, making circular motions while smiling smugly.

Ryan raised an eyebrow, confused. "Are you hungry? But we just ate."

Yuki felt her eyebrow twitch in irritation. "No, Onii-chan, that's not it." She kept her hand on her stomach, waiting for him to understand.

Ryan punched the air as if he had an idea. "damn! You have a stomachache, don't you?"

Yuki stomped her foot lightly, approaching him with a disapproving look. "Of course not, Onii!"

She sighed, adopting a passive-aggressive expression with a mischievous smile. "It's something we did last night, and if you forget, you'll remember in a few months." She spoke while placing her hand on her stomach again, hinting.

Ryan raised an eyebrow, finally understanding. "I know, I was just testing your patience. How could I forget that you asked for a creampie on the first time?" He spoke with an extremely calm face, as if it were the most normal thing in the world.

Yuki turned red but still responded with a playful smile: "Look... You saying it like that makes me rethink my actions..."

Ryan touched her cheek, teasingly. "What, you regret it?"

Yuki grabbed his hand, dragging him to the door. "Of course not..." She turned around with a smug smile, adding: "I'd do worse..."

Ryan felt a shiver run down his spine as he thought: "Oh God…"

Yuki accompanied him to the pharmacy near Ryan's house. She picked up the box of birth control pills and stared at it for a few seconds with a dark smile. "To think I'd need to take one of these..."

Meanwhile, Ryan was behind her, reflecting: "To think my sister would have to take one of these... And because of me…"

They both headed to the checkout, where a kind-looking elderly lady waited to assist them. Yuki, maintaining a carefree posture, placed some headache medicine, stomach medicine, and a few chocolate bars on the conveyor belt. It was evident that this was a cover for the morning-after pill she was actually buying.

Ryan, however, didn't miss an extra detail on the shopping list. With a sharp look, as if he had discovered a secret, he thought, raising his eyebrows: "You little trickster! You're buying condoms too, huh?"

The cashier, an elderly lady, scanned the items while observing Ryan and Yuki holding hands. Her face lit up with a warm smile, and she commented: "You two make such a beautiful couple! Ah, this reminds me of my teenage years..." She then looked at Yuki, who maintained a discreet smile, and added: "You two match so well... If it weren't for the purchases, I'd say you're siblings!"

Yuki held back a small smirk and responded politely: "Thank you, ma'am..."

Ryan, keeping a social smile, added: "Yeah, everyone says that, I don't know why..." Yuki squeezed his hand discreetly, as if saying: "No jokes now!"

Since the pharmacy was close to Ryan's house, Yuki said goodbye to him in a cute way, holding the shopping bag. "I'll head back to our house, Oni—" She stopped abruptly, looked around, and with a mischievous smile, whispered softly, covering her mouth with her hand: "Onii-chan!"

Ryan crossed his arms and asked: "Are you staying the night?"

Yuki put her hands behind her back, swaying her body adorably, and replied: "Well... I know it'll be hard to be without me after being hit by my love arrow..." She raised her little finger, as if making a warning. "But today I'll have to go back to the Suou mansion..."

Ryan tilted his head and responded: "Ah... So, see you later, Yuki."

Yuki pouted and complained: "Aww! You were supposed to beg me to stay, like: 'No, sis, don't leave me!'"

Ryan smiled and, in a comical tone, stretched his hands forward, exaggerating: "Don't go, Yuki-samaaa!"

Yuki laughed, satisfied, and tossed her hair to the side. "Ahhh, you'll have to deal with missing me, Onii-chan!"

The two laughed together for a moment, until Yuki took a step forward and surprised Ryan with a goodbye kiss. At the same time, she lightly brushed her hand over his chest and stepped back with a teasing smile. "I promise I won't take long, okay?" She winked, sticking out her tongue, and spun on her heels, starting to run.

Ryan stood still, watching Yuki walk away with a silly smile on his face. However, his moment of contemplation was interrupted by a message on his phone: "WHERE ARE YOU!? >////<" It was from Alya.

Ryan put his hand on his head and muttered: "Oh God, I forgot about the Russian girl!"

Without wasting any time, he started running, trying to get there as fast as possible so Alya wouldn't have to wait any longer. As he ran, a thought crossed his mind: "Wait... Did Yuki really accept the harem? AAAAH, I LOVE MY SISTER SO MUCH!"

Ryan finally arrived at a café near Alya's house. In the distance, he spotted her silver hair, sitting with her back to him. He took a deep breath, preparing to face another complicated situation.

He sighed, approaching Alya with a relaxed demeanor. "Well, here I am."

Alya turned around, her cheeks slightly puffed with mild irritation. "You took so long, Kuze-kun!"

Ryan raised his hands in a gesture of apology, glancing away for a moment. He knew he couldn't tell the real reason for the delay. "Sorry, I had to buy a few things before coming." He spoke with a carefree smile, trying to hide the truth.

As he sat down, Ryan observed Alya more closely, noticing the subtle elegance in her attire. Her silver hair fell in soft waves, with a red ribbon tied discreetly on one side, adding a charming touch to her ethereal appearance.

She wore a black blouse made of light, flowing fabric, with a design that left her shoulders exposed, while ruffles on the sleeves and arms brought a romantic air to the ensemble.

Her plaid skirt, in shades of white and light gray, contrasted in a balanced way with the darker blouse, highlighting her slender figure. The high waist of the skirt accentuated her silhouette gracefully, creating a feminine and refined look. Complementing the outfit, a small white leather crossbody bag with an adjustable strap and gold clasp rested on her shoulder, adding practicality without compromising style.

Ryan quickly thought: "Okay... I had forgotten how beautiful this girl is…"

Alya adjusted herself in her chair, her voice slightly low and shy. "Sit down. I need to tell you something important."

Ryan walked to the chair, sitting down with a playful air. "How strange... How come there's no guy hitting on you?"

Alya blushed slightly, picking up a cup of coffee as she responded: "Well, there were, but I started speaking in Russian, and they left."

Ryan laughed, feeling more at ease. "Ah... that makes sense. So, what's the problem, my dear ice princess?"

Alya blushed a little more, taking a sip of coffee before responding: "Why are you using that nickname?"

Ryan smiled, flipping through the menu. "Because it suits you... And it's cute, don't you think?"

Alya pouted, clearly trying to hide how much she liked the nickname. "I prefer affectionate nicknames like 'my dear' or 'my love'." Of course, she said this in Russian.

Ryan paused slightly, quickly thinking: "Damn, I forgot she's forward... If she hadn't said that in Russian, our relationship would have started right now!"

He smiled, pretending he hadn't understood. "Look, Alya, I don't understand when you speak in Russian... But it's cute, so don't stop."

She covered her face with the menu, clearly embarrassed. "I-I said you should order something soon, because I want to ask you something... important..."

Ryan became slightly more serious, noticing Alya's anxious and distressed expression. "Something important?" He looked directly into her eyes, trying to decipher what was behind that hesitation.

"Is it... Shit, does Alya have something to do with the supernatural stuff in this world? Damn, I didn't want to drag my Russian girl into this!" He thought, while Alya looked away, clearly nervous.

"Kuze-kun... What I want to ask you is..."
