“Okay… All done. Oh, the spoons are already all set… ? All I have to do is eat.”

“What a strange person. On a day when you can do everything by yourself, you take care of me like this.”

“Would you believe me if I told you I wanted to do something like this?”

“What… How can I believe it or not? I like it because it’s comfortable. My mind isn’t at ease though.”

“Why? I’m feeling at ease. Is there really a need to go out today?”

“Ugh. Such unemployed thoughts.”

“Call me by my name… I don’t look like a freeloader… ”

“Jipsuni, Baeksu, Yuri. Aren’t they all referring to the same person?”

“Isn’t that a housekeeper? ”

“ It’s done. It’s already imprinted on my memory. Come on, eat. Are you going to blow up all the ramen?”

“Chii… ”

Yuri held the tongs and occasionally picked up noodles and brought them to her plate.

“But still… I go out a lot too… I go to a lot of meetings… ”

And then he added one more word as he left for me.

“Sasiil… Isn’t Bine more of a homebody than me…?”

To that I retorted by showing the necklace around my neck.

“No, I can’t even go out on my own without you.”

“… Aha. But even if only Hye-won or Yun-seul were there, I could still go out.”

“Isn’t it a nuisance to those people… I’d rather not move.”

“What the hell… The kids are waiting for you instead… ?”

“Yes… ? Oh, hot… !”

I was so flustered that I forgot that the ramen was hot and ended up burning my tongue.

“Phehehe… You still don’t know…? Why are the kids picking on me like this…?”

“What the… You’re saying that we’ll take turns playing with each other on a certain day. I think I heard from Blanc that you’re going to let me rest while you’re on vacation.”

“There… I wonder if the kids didn’t have even a single desire…?”

“What kind of desire are you talking about?”

“Even if you don’t have any sense, you still have no shame. Vinega is smart. Why is that?”

“I’m quicker on the uptake than you think… ”

“Hey… You’re lying. You don’t know anything. What the… I guess I should just go ahead and try it out… ”

“Hmm… Are you saying that people who should be strangely hostile are friendly to me?”

“Oh my… You don’t know? It’s okay, it’s okay. I like that kind of thing too.”

Seriously… You’re just saying things that I don’t understand.

…Why is the ramen so well-boiled?

“Hehehe… Seeing you eating so deliciously makes me feel relieved. Are you eating well, Binnie?”

“What about you, Sister? If you’re my sister, shouldn’t you be at least stronger than me?”

“Hey. Maybe I’m stronger than you now? You’re wearing a necklace, right?”

“Even with limited power, I think I have a better chance of winning a fight with you?”

“Vine… Aren’t you underestimating me more than I thought?”

“I’m speaking based on data from the last battle at Riverside Park.”

“Riverside Park… Oh, right. I didn’t go to Ragnarok, did I? Was that really the last time?”

“Yes. Based on that battle data, I also analyzed your post-Ragnarok battle data. While watching Arin’s training video.”

“Ahaha… You’ve already seen it all? You’re embarrassed.”

“… And, you have much more data than other magical girls.”

“Yes. It’s not a good idea to bring up things you don’t want to remember, right?”

“Well… That’s what I mean. Since I have a lot of information from ‘corrupting’, I have the upper hand in terms of information warfare.”

“Vine? Isn’t it bad to bring up your sister’s dark history?”

“Black history… Well, if you don’t want to hear it, I’ll keep quiet… Anyway, are you saying I’ll win?”

“Vine, really… It looks like you have no intention of giving up even one… ”

“I’ve already lost, so wouldn’t it be sad if I lost again? And if I lost to you, wouldn’t I have to call you Plum? My pride won’t allow that.”

“Hey, you said you’d help me train, right? Let’s have a match after vacation? Oh… That’s right… I’m exhausted… If I just take care of that, we’ll have a match right away. Can I really win? ”

“You win even if you don’t take off your necklace.”

… Of course, I don’t know if I can do that duel.

Because I won’t be with these people in a month.

Again, it’s back to its original position.

… I wonder if you can give me a chance to play a round.

The problem of running out of magic power will probably be solved when we return to the newly built Eden.

No, once you go back, you don’t have to worry about those restrictions, they’ll be resolved on their own.

We will be working to gather energy again in Eden.

Because nothing can drain as much energy as negative emotions.

If you keep gathering energy like that, you’ll have to meet again.

… If we met like that, what would we talk about?

Thinking about it now would be like gulping down a big bowl of kimchi stew.

“You’ll know when you go there, right?”

“Well, yes. You’ll know when you go. Anything.”

After we finished eating, I decided to clean up.

This time, he didn’t give in. When I told him honestly that I would feel really bad if he didn’t do something he was insisting on doing, he finally gave up and collapsed on the sofa.

… I feel very uncomfortable when I think about what will happen in a month.

There wasn’t that much. I simply washed the dishes and cleaned up the table.

Ah. There is fruit.

Since Yuri likes sweet things, I should cut up a melon and take it with me.

Strangely, he didn’t eat anything new.

The peaches aren’t in season yet. I don’t have any at home.

I took out the melon and cut it in half.

Remove the seeds, leave only the flesh, and cut into bite-sized pieces.

To make the plating look pretty, I think it’s best to leave the peel underneath as a decoration and a stand.

It’s ready to eat.

He took the tray with the fork and went to Yuri on the sofa.

“Have some dessert. Are you really not planning on going out?”

“Umm… Should I just go to sleep and eat dinner?”

“You said you were going out at lunch time, you were going out after lunch. ”

“I’m getting annoyed. Hwaaam… Vine… Oh, you want to play with me? Have you ever seen Vine play a game? ”

“That’s because I don’t really enjoy games. What… Arin’s weird Roblis? What… I’m playing a game I’ve never heard of before. You said it was trendy. I don’t really play that kind of stuff. ”

“Hey… I wasted my life, Vinet? You don’t play games!”

“What… Before I became this body, I used to do it a lot with my friends. But now, I don’t really do it. Even if I do, it’s not that fun… That’s why.”

“But you’re saying you won’t do it now? This is totally disqualifying for a gamer. Okay, sit down here!”

And while doing so, he was tapping his knee.

… You’re not telling me to sit on your lap, are you?

“Haa. Okay. I don’t know what game you’re trying to play, but it’s bad to harass newbies. You know that, right?”

Yes, I sat down next to Yuri’s knees, which were pounding hard.

“I know, I know. But in the winery. Not there, but here.”

“Yes?”

“Up here.”

“… Am I heavy?”

“If you’re heavy, what about me? Come here. I’ll teach you the game. ”

“There… I think it’s a little… ”

“Come on. Don’t you hate saying the same thing over and over again, Sister?”

“What kind of nonsense is that… ”

“Today is a day when even such stubbornness is tolerated, right? That’s why here.”

“Haa. Are you serious?”

“Because I’m serious. Here.”

There was no choice.

How much more annoying would it be if the glass didn’t come up?

No, if you don’t sit on your lap in the first place, it seems like you’ll have to force yourself to sit on it.

There wasn’t really anything else to think about.

Still, with the last of his pride, he climbed onto Yuri’s lap and complained.

“Really. I say this every time, but I feel like I sigh more often as I spend time with you all. Haa… I don’t usually sigh… ”

“Hey. My sister is fluffy- warm- soft- so I bet you feel good too? Of course I will too… Hehe… ”

Yuri hugs me tightly while smiling sinisterly.

“Soft and fluffy~ As expected… Bine loves being hugged… Haa. I can’t stand this kind of thing… ?”

“Why are you hugging me? Do you know that you came to hug me like that back when I sealed my memories? No, you know, right?”

“Yeah, yeah, that story later. A little later. Okay? For now, all we have to do is be soft to each other, right? ”

“… No, wait. It’s not a soft problem. You said you were playing a game… !”

“Ah, right… Can’t we just stay like this a little longer…?”

“Ugh… ”

Yuri just kept touching it without paying attention to my reaction.

For several dozen minutes, Yuri hugged me and teased me, saying, “It’s soft and fluffy.”

I gave up and just laid back and let my body rest. Did he realize that he was too much? Or maybe he was just satisfied enough to finally feel like playing a game? He left me sitting next to him and went off to get the game pad.

“Hmm… Okay. Let’s play a racing game. It’s easy to control.”

“If it’s a racing game… is it the kart racing game I know?”

“Yeah. The kids that come out are cute too? Well… If you try it, you’ll see that the cute kids are really annoying. It’s a game that could turn your house into a mess if you play it with kids.”

… that game. I know it well.

Before I became this body, this was a game I used to play with my cousins when they came over to visit.

I’ve made kids cry before too.

“I’m confident about that too. Because I’ve played the game too.”

“Huh? Really? Then there’s no need to tell me how to operate it, right? Let’s do it together, sister?”

“Would you like to bet on that ridiculous title of sister? For today.”

“Wow… Are you confident?”

“Yes. Come in. I’ll break it down for you. I’ll definitely break down that so-called older sister.”
