The next morning.
A gentle breeze lightly stirred the curtains, bringing waves of fresh air.
It had drizzled lightly all night.
By dawn, it had gradually stopped.
The sun slowly rose - this was very comfortable weather.
It should have been...
But in his half-asleep state, Kuzeha felt the bed had never been so crowded!
Whether on the left or right side, he was completely blocked in.
Two different fragrances surrounded him, mixing together yet each maintaining distinct characteristics.
Kuzeha could sense it.
One side was Suou Yuki, the other was Kasugano Sora!
Who else could it be but those two?
Sure enough.
What entered Kuzeha's field of vision was a scene where brown and silver hair each occupied half his view!
Each side was holding onto his arm.
"I didn't expect you two could get along so harmoniously..."
Seeing such a rare situation, even Kuzeha as their big brother couldn't help but be a bit surprised.
Because other little sisters were one thing.
But only Kasugano Sora and Suou Yuki both aimed to monopolize Kuzeha's doting love!
They desperately wanted to gain every advantage in the crystal palace wife competition.
However, Kuzeha was indeed overthinking it.
"Yu, what are you talking about?"
Kasugano Sora rubbed her sleepy eyes and slowly sat up.
Now not just her ahoge, but the edges of her entire head of silver hair stood up high, making her look like a cat with ruffled fur.
Hearing Kuzeha's mumbling, she suddenly jolted awake!
Looking to the other side, her pupils immediately trembled.
"Ah! Suou Yuki! When did you get here?"
After all, up until that moment she had been enjoying the warmth, completely unaware.
What she thought was her completely monopolized onii-chan last night, she discovered today was shared with another big brother!
Now she truly became a ragdoll cat with ruffled fur.
Suou Yuki stuck out her cute pink tongue at Kuzeha and also propped herself up.
"Didn't it rain last night?"
"I was suddenly scared by the thunder and really didn't dare sleep alone, so I came to find big brother!"
"What about you? You're not the same as me, are you?"
Suou Yuki presented her "legitimate" excuse.
Kasugano Sora's pink lips pouted, tears welling up in her eyes.
Because everything Suou Yuki said was her excuse... no, her reason!
But Yuki had beaten her to it.
Kuzeha felt helpless.
Never mind that there was no thunder at all last night.
Between these two little girls, Suou Yuki wasn't afraid at all!
But that these two could think alike was some degree of synchronicity...
"Kuze-nii, breakfast is ready!"
Sakura's cheerful voice came from the kitchen.
It was as if last night's events had never happened.
However, from her tone, it seemed like her stress had been released to some degree!
Although Suou Yuki and Kasugano Sora hadn't caught Sakura in the act, their instincts made them feel that something about Sakura was quietly changing.
Sobu High School.
Ellie had already arrived at the classroom early.
Class 2-A.
The girl was playing with her silver hair with complex thoughts, her beautiful eyes occasionally glancing out the window.
"Why hasn't Kuze-kun arrived yet..."
However, to avoid being overheard by others, she said this in Russian.
After being so cautious against Suou Yuki, she never expected to fail to guard against her own older sister!
Ellie now remembered something she had read in books.
It was said that there existed connections beyond ordinary people between siblings!
Even if they had never met.
They usually had similarities!
Like eating the same foods, liking similar colors and styles of clothing.
Even some physical movements or habitual phrases were similar.
They might even fall in love with the same person!
And wasn't the current situation a living example?
"Sister... she shouldn't... would she?"
Just as Ellie was restlessly pondering this matter, Kuzeha's figure finally appeared in her line of sight.
Ellie immediately perked up!
Kuzeha was walking into school together with Sakura.
"Kuze Sakura, she's a first-year underclassman."
"If they have the same surname, they should be real siblings, right?"
"This target is safe."
Ellie nodded, continuing to observe.
However, unfortunately, she would never think that the real sister was actually an adopted sister, while the adopted sister was actually the real sister!
"Kuze-nii, I'm going to the archery club first."
"Pay attention to balancing work and rest, don't push yourself too hard!"
After the kendo competition was the archery competition.
It was a fixed activity for each school club every year.
As the archery club's ace, Sakura had also been getting busy recently.
She had been training even harder these past few days!
Seeing Kuzeha and Sakura part ways, Ellie waited for him to reach the classroom.
Compared to her sister and Suou Yuki, Ellie believed she had the advantage of being a desk neighbor!
However, while Ellie was waiting for Kuzeha to arrive at the classroom, someone had already made their move.
"Kuze-kun!"
Nino Nakano immediately chased after him when she spotted Kuzeha from afar.
Her short hair flowing, wearing butterfly hair clips, her voice sweet.
Such a beautiful girl with an excellent figure and tall stature actively greeting him made Kuzeha attract quite a bit of attention.
"This is a bento I made, there's a portion for Kuze-kun too. Shall we eat together at lunch?"
