Today after school I had invited Weiss to my home. As we were talking, we arrived at the entrance to my house.
"Alright, go on in."
"Mmm."
We took off our shoes and went up into the house, when… right then, we happened to come across Naruko.
Having just gone into the house, Weiss' eyes met with Naruko's as Naruko came out of the living room. Both parties had their mouths opened blankly, and their eyes widened. Shit! I completely forgot! She was here! I immediately went pale.
A moment passed, and then…
Naruko's expression completely changed. Her eyes slanted upwards, and she glared sharply at me then to Weiss. It was also different from that time she found out I had been looking at porn-sites and transformed into a demon. She was looking at Weiss as if she was her arch-enemy. I heard her grind her teeth with a creak. In just a few moments, the atmosphere in the entranceway to my house had turned bizarrely awkward.
"… N-Naruko…?"
What the hell… what's with this unpleasant attitude…? Why did she seem so pissed from the moment Weiss appeared? In any case, this was bad… no matter how you looked at it, she didn't seem like she was in a mood to play nice… to think that I would come face to face in a situation like this…
What's going to happen…? I was scared at this sudden development… which honestly was largely my fault in the first place.
"Umm… you're Ruto's sister, right?"
"Ruto…?"
"Sorry, I mean Haruto. My name is Weiss Schnee, I'm your brother's classmate. Nice to meet you."
Breaking the silence, Weiss waved her hand and gave a friendly greeting.
"I do know exactly who you are, Schnee. You're that pianist girl who ran away with him last year, yeah?"
I could almost hear the sound of a sword slice as Naruko said that to Weiss. Dammit this was terrible. It was the worst way to treat a guest that her brother had brought home.
Weiss, who seemed to be feeling guilty, gave Naruko an apologetic smile.
"… I'm sorry for what happened back then. That was not Haruto's fault but mine, he just following me because he's worried about me. Please don't blame him for that."
"Is that so? What a troublesome girl you are." Naruko replied curtly.
This girl! Saying something a delinquent might say to bully someone like that… as her brother, I really should have a right to get angry at her attitude right now.
"Hey, Naruko… cut it the hell out! Don't talk like that to my friend!"
"Huh? Look who's talking." Naruko grabbed hold of my shirt. "Let me borrow you for a minute."
"H-hey!"
Being pulled by my sister, I was separated from Weiss. I was dragged right to the middle of the living room.
Bang! Naruko's hand slammed the living room door shut. Still pulling on my collar with all her might, Naruko gave fleeting glances to the entranceway where Weiss was still standing. Her face closed in on me from the side, and she whispered to me menacingly.
"W-what the hell is this?! W-why is that woman here!?"
"… Well… I invited her… over…"
"Haahh!? I never heard anything about this!"
"Well… I never said anything."
"Tch! Just stop it! Drive her out right now!"
"As if I could do that! Just calm down a bit."
Still grabbing onto my shirt, Naruko muttered grumpily. She was obviously hiding something, but I really didn't see any reason she should dislike Weiss, considering this was the first time they ever met.
"Tch," Naruko clicked her tongue, and glared at me even more strongly. "Anyways, I said I don't like this at all! You, why the hell did you bring a girl over specifically on a day our mother isn't home? I can't believe this… it's so gross!"
"It's not like I timed that on purpose!" Well, no, it was on purpose, but what I'm trying to say… it's absolutely not like that at all!
"Even if that were true, it has nothing to do with you, right? You call your friends over too. You have no right to complain."
When I made the natural counterargument, Naruko's face flushed even redder.
"Huh? So… so, if I brought a boyfriend home, and we did e-e-ecchi things in the living room, you saying you're fine with that!?"
"How the hell did it get to that!? We're not doing anything like that, so that example is completely inappropriate!" Also, you don't even have a boyfriend! Don't run your mouth off so much with weird things! Dammit, this is pissing me off! "In any case. There's no way I can kick her out at this point. I have no idea what you're getting all twisted up over, but if you don't want to see her then you get out yourself."
"W-why are you being so casual and trying to drive me out now!?"
"You've got it all wrong, dammit!"
What the hell has this girl been saying up until now…? Ugh, I'm so beat… also, it seemed that the sounds of our unsightly sibling argument had carried to the entranceway.
Click. The living room door slowly opened, and Weiss peeked in. She spoke in a worried tone. "Hey… Please don't fight over me."
Together, Naruko and I looked at Weiss… and together we turned our faces away.
"… Tch, so annoying." Naruko clicked her tongue once again. She seemed incredibly annoyed.
Seriously, cut it out. No, you know what? I'm just going to tell her that!
"Naruko—" But although I opened my mouth, Weiss cut me off. She faced Naruko and looked straight into her eyes.
"Hey, since I came here, you act nothing but hostile towards me, does my presence here bother you so much? If so then maybe I should just leave…"
"Y-you… !" Naruko glared brazenly at Weiss. "I don't like you… I really don't like you! Just looking at you is pissing me off… you're so annoying!"
Why the hell is she so angry about. It almost looked like she was trying to shoot Weiss to death with her glare alone.
"You just remember! I'll make you regret this!" Naruko spat out those resentful words at me, and left the living room. Thud thud thud thud thud thud! I heard her ascend the stairs in irritation.
"What's wrong with your sister, Ruto?"
"… I have nooo idea."
