"Asaka-nee, is something wrong?"
Looking at Asaka-nee who appeared outside the door, Hoshino Sora's expression was puzzled. Asaka-nee was wearing pink lace puff pajamas, holding a pillow in her hand, exuding a faint fragrance, and her demeanor was shy, as if she had something to say to him.
"Sora, can I come and sleep with you tonight? Mom told us to get along well, and I think sleeping together can deepen our feelings. Don't worry, I'm a very well-behaved sleeper!"
With a hint of shyness on her face, she still squeezed in despite his resistance, placing her pillow next to Hoshino Sora's, intending to deepen her bond with her younger brother through a late-night chat.
Her pure face, slightly flushed cheeks, skin as white as snow, eyes filled with shyness, and hair tied with a hair tie, possessed an indescribable charm that made Hoshino Sora a little flustered.
"This isn't really appropriate, is it? A single man and woman sharing a room, people will gossip if they find out, and we've only just met recently; before this, we were still strangers."
Hoshino Sora's words were a bit stammering. Although he had admired the relationship between Keita and his older sisters when he was young, when it came to him, it was still a bit awkward, especially since the two of them weren't familiar before.
"It's fine. It's normal for siblings to sleep in the same room, and we're not strangers. I was the former student council president of your junior high, so we must have met before, right?"
As she spoke, Ya Xiang untied her hair tie and placed it aside, then lifted the covers and directly got into bed, sticking out her head, overbearing ly not giving Hoshino Sora the right to choose.
"Asaka-nee!"
Hoshino Sora called out, but it had no effect. Hoshino Ya Xiang turned over as if she hadn't heard him.
"How cunning."
Another voice came from behind the slightly ajar door. The next moment, the door was pushed open again, and Rika's figure appeared in the bedroom, also holding a pillow.
Clearly, the two sisters had a strange telepathy.
"Rika-nee, you're not thinking of..."
Seeing this stance, although Hoshino Sora was asking, he already had the answer in his heart. The silly sisters wouldn't give him the right to choose. From the moment he moved in, he no longer belonged to himself.
"Can't I? Sora, do you dislike us two older sisters?"
She quickly approached, her gaze fixed on Hoshino Sora's face, and a hint of sadness suddenly appeared in her expression, as if she had been greatly hurt.
"How could I! I'm just... a little unaccustomed."
"Well, well, we're just staying together to chat, it's not like we're going to do anything. Don't worry, it's very normal for siblings to be like this."
Looking at the somewhat shy Hoshino Sora, Ya Xiang, who had originally turned her back on him, suddenly sat up and directly hugged him from behind, dragging him onto the bed.
Rika then closed the door and turned off the light, then placed her pillow on Hoshino Sora's other side, lifted the covers, and lay down. With Ya Xiang there, she had nothing to be reserved about.
"Eh?"
Turning to the left, he saw Ya Xiang's slightly flushed face. Turning to the right, he saw Rika's affectionate gaze. Damn it! They had only met a few times, how could these two be so familiar!
Their parents had met a year ago, and only six months ago did they bring their children to meet each other. They got their marriage certificate yesterday, so as of today, Hoshino Sora and Yaxiang Lixiang had only met twenty or thirty times.
Although their relationship had progressed from strangers to familiar, it hadn't reached the point where they could sleep in the same bed, and with two of them! How could a pure young man like him handle this?
Fortunately, the two girls were still very reserved and didn't touch him inappropriately. They truly just slept together as they had initially said, but because the bed was too crowded, there were some touches as they lay close to each other, which made Hoshino Sora's body stiff, and he didn't dare to move randomly.
"Sora, are you planning to go to a culinary school?"
As the atmosphere grew awkward, Ya Xiang's expression was conflicted. Then, as if she had made up her mind, she suddenly reached out and grabbed Hoshino Sora's arm, asking with curiosity when he looked at her.
"Huh? How did you know?"
His words were filled with doubt. He had only recently made this decision, and it wasn't even confirmed yet. Could Asaka-nee read minds?! Oh no, did she see all those restricted scenes in his mind just now?!
"I happened to hear it when I passed by Father's room earlier, so I've been wanting to ask you about your decision."
"I was thinking the same thing."
As she spoke, he felt fingers touching his back. Rika had also been outside at the time and had heard their father's words, so she came over that night to clarify the situation because she was a little reluctant to part with Hoshino Sora.
"I should go to a culinary academy. Although my academic performance is good, I don't particularly enjoy studying, so I chose to go to Far Moon Academy. When I come back, I'll make delicious food for you two."
Understanding what the two sisters meant, Hoshino Sora was no longer as resistant to them. He simply explained the reason for his choice.
"I also want to go to a culinary academy. How about we go together?"
"Oh, please. With your cooking skills, Rika, you'd be expelled in no time."
Hearing Rika's words, Ya Xiang couldn't help but complain from the side. Her sister, with her inability to even cut vegetables properly, wanted to go to a culinary academy? She'd probably be expelled on the second day.
"I'm the one who should accompany Sora. I've been good at cooking since I was little, and I've made most of the meals at home. Even if I go to a culinary academy now, I can adapt very quickly."
"Mmm~"
Her cheeks puffed out slightly, but she couldn't find a reason to retort. Rika could only make a sound of annoyance, her mouth pouting slightly, while her fingers circled Hoshino Sora's back more frequently.
"Well, I'll just go by myself. Asaka-nee and Rika-nee should just attend school normally."
Feeling his back being circled, he didn't make a sound. Hearing that Asaka-nee wanted to go to Far Moon with him, Hoshino Sora quickly tried to dissuade her. The reason was simple: Far Moon's waters were too deep, and Ya Xiang couldn't handle it.
"Why? Wouldn't it be better to have a companion?"
"That way, Rika-nee would be very lonely."
Hearing Hoshino Sora's words, Rika, who was behind him, was slightly moved, and a blush appeared on her face. Her hand movements also stopped.
"Rika, she..."
Hearing Hoshino Sora's words, Ya Xiang looked at Rika behind him. Thinking carefully, it was indeed true. If she went to Far Moon, Rika would have no companion.
"Exactly. So let me go by myself. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. If I get expelled miserably, you two might have to support me in the future."
Seeing that Ya Xiang was a bit swayed, Hoshino Sora immediately pressed his advantage. He didn't want the other party to go to Far Moon with him, after all, Far Moon itself wasn't a place for serious study.
A paradise for geniuses, a hell for the weak.
