Truth or Dare?

"Ah... I can't complain..."

Ryan walked leisurely through the streets, his eyes wandering across the scenery as he pondered. The problem was simple: he didn't have a photo of Alya's house, and Yuno had never been there before to help him with a teleport. This meant he would have to reach his destination the old-fashioned way - following the path he remembered.

"Not long now... And the prize upon arrival is worth it."

He could already see Alya's building in the distance. Climbing the stairs with carefree steps, he reached the apartment and knocked on the door, his voice coming out in a calm and casual tone:

"Alya! I don't know if you forgot, but we arranged for me to come here!"

What he didn't expect, however, was to hear a different voice answering from the other side.

"Ara? Let me open it!"

Light footsteps echoed across the floor, quickly approaching the door. In the background, Alya exclaimed in a panic:

"W-Wait a minute!"

But the warning was completely ignored. The door opened, revealing an unexpected sight.

Before him stood Masha, her light brown hair falling in soft waves to her shoulders. A small red flower adorned the side of her head, holding back a rebellious strand that insisted on escaping.

"Araa! Feel free to come in, Kuze-kun!" - she smiled adorably, her golden eyes shining with an almost hypnotic tranquility.

Her fair skin had a delicate appearance, and the serene aura she exuded seemed to belong to someone who lived eternally in a dream. The loose pink sweatshirt covered her body snugly, the long sleeves almost hiding her hands. Underneath, a short white pair of shorts revealed her slender legs.

It was at this moment that Ryan had a sudden realization.

"CRAP! I FORGOT ALYA LIVES WITH HER SISTER!"

Before he could react, Masha put a hand to her chest and smiled politely.

"Ara! Now that I realize it, despite having already kind of met, I never formally introduced myself."

She tilted her head slightly, maintaining that angelic smile.

"I'm Mariya Mikhailovna Kujou, Alya-chan's older sister and student council secretary."

She closed her eyes with such serenity that Ryan felt his heart waver for a moment.

"Nice to meet you!"

And then, his thoughts took on a life of their own.

"Okay, I want fuck both sisters..."

Masha blinked, confused, as if she had felt something strange in the air. But before she could question him -

"Nice to meet you, Kujou-senpai!"

Ryan went back in time.

Masha, unaware of the brief alternate reality he had erased, held his hands with a sweet expression.

"Just call me Masha! Any friend of Alya-chan is my friend too!"

Her sweetness was almost overwhelming. Ryan, once again, failed to keep his thoughts under control.

"I want to be the lover of both..."

Masha blinked, tilting her head with a curious expression.

"Ara? Lover?"

Ryan smiled wryly, approaching slightly.

"Yes. You're so pure that it makes me want to corrupt you."

Her golden eyes widened slightly.

"W-What!? That's so inde—"

"If that's the case, I'll call you Masha-senpai."

Ryan replied with a light and carefree look, because, in the end... he had already gone back in time.

And what never happened will never be remembered.

Masha looked directly into Ryan's eyes, her smile carrying an innocent and mischievous touch at the same time.

"Uwu, uwu, it's a pleasure to meet yo—"

She stopped suddenly. Her golden eyes sparkled as if a distant memory had just awakened. Her hand, still holding his, tightened slightly, but not uncomfortably—the touch was warm, welcoming.

Ryan tilted his head, curious.

"Masha-senpai?"

She remained silent for a brief moment, her lips moving slowly before her voice came out finer, velvety, laden with something different.

"Kuze-kun..." Her intonation was sweet, almost hypnotic. "What's your first name?"

Ryan blinked, a little surprised by the sudden change in tone.

"Hm... it's Masachika..." He replied, hesitant.

Masha's eyes shone even brighter, as if that information were much more important than he imagined. Her grip on his hand became a little firmer, but not in an uncomfortable way—it was a touch laden with something that Ryan couldn't immediately name.

"Masa...chika?" She murmured softly, as if savoring the name.

Before she could say anything more, Alya's voice echoed down the hall:

"Mashaaa! I told you to wait! I was going to open the door!"

Ryan quickly glanced over Masha—which wasn't even that difficult, considering she was only 5'2" or 1.60m.

Alya appeared at the end of the hall, still drying her long silver hair with a towel. Her rebellious spiral curl on top of her head was slightly messy, and a red ribbon adorned one side, delicately holding back a strand of hair. The detail gave a youthful touch to her look.

She sighed, tossing her hair back.

"Moo~ I was still drying my hair..."

Ryan noticed that she was wearing a loose white t-shirt, with a subtle pink detail on the side. The casual cut of the garment contrasted with the high-waisted denim shorts, fastened by a golden button. The folded hems of the shorts left her slender, fair legs in evidence.

Alya noticed his gaze and blushed slightly.

"I'm sorry, Kuze-kun... I'll go change quickly, okay..."

Ryan smiled casually.

"Relax, Alya, you look beautiful like that."

The effect was immediate. The blush intensified, and Alya looked away, trying to maintain her composure.

"O-Okay... Masha, invite him in..."

Despite her slightly slurred voice, her posture remained firm.

Ryan blinked, surprised by her reaction as he thought.

"Wow... I thought about going back in time after saying that, but that reaction was too good..."

He suppressed a satisfied smile, continuing his thoughts.

"Is this like a visual novel where I can always go back to the save point?"

Masha let go of his hand and resumed her usual cheerful tone, her angelic smile returning.

"Uwu! How careless of me, right? Come on in!"

Ryan chuckled softly before taking off his shoes and entering.

At the end of the hall, Alya was still trying to hide her embarrassment, adjusting her hair unnecessarily.

Masha accompanied him to the living room, her lively tone filling the room.

"When Alya-chan told me that a friend was coming, I ran to buy some things for us to eat together!"

She gestured with her fingers, her eyes shining with enthusiasm.

Alya, who was following closely behind, cleared her throat before adding, with a slightly hesitant tone:

"A-And since I know you like sweets... I asked her to buy some desserts."

Ryan looked at her, blinking in surprise.

"Aaah... You're so cute, Alyaa! Sweets are really my weakness!"

He laughed mentally, almost feeling melted inside.

"You didn't need to worry about that. In fact, I was the one who slacked off for not bringing anything on the way here..."

Alya, however, suddenly held his hand, gently pulling him to the sofa.

"No, you didn't need to bring anything."

She smiled slightly.

"After all, you're our guest tonight."

Alya carefully placed Ryan on the sofa, as if he were a fragile work of art. Without wasting time, she ran to the kitchen, her feet barely touching the floor, and returned carrying a small treasure: the sweets that Masha had bought and some more treats that she herself kept for special occasions.

Upon seeing the delicacies, Ryan couldn't help but give a genuine smile, which lit up his face like a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day.

As Ryan admired the treats with shining eyes, Masha, on the other side of the room, let out a light and mischievous giggle, yet still adorably cute.

"But... I also have some ideas to make everything more fun!" she said, her melodious voice echoing like a wind chime.

Ryan and Alya turned at the same time, curious, to find Masha holding a deck of Uno cards in her hands, a mischievous grin plastered on her face.

"Let's play a little before we eat, what do you think?" she proposed, shaking the deck as if it were a magic wand about to cast a spell.

Ryan smiled, his eyes twinkling with a mixture of fun and challenge. "Hmm, so you want to play some games? How about a truth or dare? Only a little different...", he began, his voice full of enthusiasm.

"In this case, whoever loses the game has to answer the winner's question, and second place decides whether they want a truth or a dare!"

Alya tilted her head to the side, her hair swaying gently, while an expression of mild concern crossed her face.

"Why am I afraid to participate in this...", she murmured, her voice almost a whisper, as if trying to convince herself that everything was just an innocent joke.

Ryan looked at her, a relaxed smile on his lips. "Huh? It's just a game of Uno, Alya."

Alya replied in a soft voice, almost as if she were sharing a dangerous secret. "Yeah... only Masha... is really good at Uno..."

Ryan then turned his gaze back to Masha, who was now sporting a gentle, almost angelic smile. But there was something in that smile that made Ryan feel a slight shiver run down his spine.

He thought to himself, as a shadow of doubt crossed his mind: "Well... I'm going to abuse my power now...
