"Little Auntie, do you want to come over? Meet them and make friends?" Kars knew Flandre couldn't do much inside the Scarlet Devil Mansion. If she could get to know Cirno and the others, it would surely bring some fun into her life, and meeting more people might bring about some change for her.
So, Kars decided to take an umbrella and bring Flandre over to meet them.
"Okay." Flandre didn't refuse. After Kars opened the umbrella, she took his hand, and they walked to the seating area. Kars then introduced Flandre to the others.
"My Little Auntie hasn't had much contact with others. If you could, please come and play with her sometimes."
"But I still mostly want to be with Kars." Flandre voiced her thoughts. She felt being with Kars was more meaningful than being with them.
"But Little Auntie, meeting more people can be beneficial sometimes. You want lots of people to play with you, right?" Kars wasn't surprised by Flandre's thought process. He figured it was because Flandre was used to being with him and preferred him over others.
Rumia, who was eating, suddenly felt Flandre's gaze and looked at her, seemingly confused about why Flandre was staring. Flandre then also started picking up the desserts from the plate and eating them. While eating, she seemed intentionally to get crumbs and remnants all over her face and mouth.
Kars was a bit confused by this. Flandre usually didn't make a mess when eating, as Remilia had properly instructed her on table manners.
"Little Auntie, if Little Auntie Remilia sees you like this, you'll definitely get a lecture."
"Sister is still asleep; she won't know." Flandre replied carelessly. She made no move to wipe her face clean. Seeing this, Kars had to step in and help, which made Flandre smile.
"I feel like Kars is more like a brother looking after his little sister." Daiyousei watched Kars's actions and felt Flandre was more like the younger sister who needed looking after.
"Is that so? Sometimes it does feel like that. And only Little Auntie Flandre is like this. Little Auntie Remilia wouldn't be; she doesn't need me to do things like this for her." More often than not, it was Remilia who would do similar things for him, and he was willing to accept it.
Kars realized his Little Auntie didn't seem interested in interacting with the others, which was contrary to what he had hoped. But he didn't know how to address it. However, the observant Daiyousei noticed this and proactively started a conversation with Flandre.
"Um, Flandre, what kind of things do you like to do? Or what do you like to play?"
"The thing I like to do is be with Kars. Flandre loves everything we play together, and recently, I like kissing Kars."
Kars: ⊙_⊙
Daiyousei, Wriggle, Mystia: (๑ʘ̅ д ʘ̅๑)!!!
Did they just hear something they shouldn't have? Kars was confused: When did Little Auntie kiss me recently? Why don't I know about it?
Rumia just continued to eat, showing no interest in the topic.
"Is kissing that much fun?" Cirno heard the topic shifted back to kissing and, especially after hearing Flandre's description, it sounded very interesting. "Then can I play the kissing game with you too, Kars?"
Before Kars could answer, Flandre directly refused for him. "No! Only Flandre can play that with Kars!" Hearing Cirno wanted to kiss Kars, Flandre's emotions became slightly agitated. Cirno also looked displeased by Flandre's emerging hostility.
"Why can't I play with Kars? Given the relationship between the great Lady Cirno and Kars, why can't we play this game?"
"Cirno-chan, that's really not a game you can play!" Daiyousei tried to persuade her. This was really unexpected, but considering Flandre was a Youkai from elsewhere, maybe this was normal for her.
"Why?"
"Because that's something only people who are mutually in love can do."
"In love? I quite like Kars. Doesn't that mean we can play?" Cirno didn't dislike Kars, so she considered herself to like him. And she certainly liked playing games with him, so she thought she could play the kissing game with Kars.
"That feeling again!" Wriggle felt that sense of danger again. This time, the situation made her realize the source was Flandre.
"Little Auntie, don't get too excited!" Kars knew what happened when Flandre got agitated, so he quickly tried to calm her down to prevent anything from happening. If he were the one who got hit, it would be fine since he couldn't die, but if it were anyone else, it would be terrible. If the situation continued, Cirno would definitely be the target.
"Kars can't play with her anymore!" Flandre told Kars, who was holding her back. Cirno's comments were a direct provocation and an attempt to steal him. Since she couldn't deal with the person she disliked, she would just make Kars stop playing with her.
"Little Auntie, you don't need to be so stressed. She genuinely doesn't understand any of this." Kars told Flandre she didn't need to be so tense, sighing at how a perfectly good situation had devolved into this.
"Yeah, Cirno is an idiot. She doesn't know what she's saying." Wriggle quickly chimed in. She realized that while Flandre was Kars's Little Auntie, her personality was similar to an easily emotional child's.
In the end, Kars had to temporarily take Flandre back to her room before returning to the group.
"I'm sorry. I wanted my Little Auntie to make friends with you all, but it turned out like this."
"It's okay. We don't mind, actually." The understanding Daiyousei said she didn't mind.
"This is really all because Cirno is an idiot and doesn't know how to talk. It's not entirely your fault." Wriggle immediately placed the blame on Cirno, not seeing it as Kars's mistake.
"Why is it all my fault! It's her who didn't want me to play with Kars!" Cirno complained, feeling the matter had nothing to do with her. It was just a game, what was the big deal?
