Fluffy pillows and soft blankets.

The bed was very comfortable, with the lavender scent from the diffuser that Amy prepared added.

The night deepens.

Both Shine and Amy are now in a deep sleep, breathing quietly.

I looked up at the ceiling with my eyes shining brightly.

I can’t sleep.

The thoughts that filled my head were disturbing my sleep.

What if Prin is from the lab?

What if only Shine and I know this?

Amy was beginning to have doubts, but what if she couldn’t find any evidence?

It was bad enough to suspect a little girl when there was only circumstantial evidence and no physical evidence, but what if she really was our enemy?

Prin.

She was a cute junior.

If Shine hadn’t told me, I would have become close with Prin along with Rain and probably leaked a lot of information without even knowing it.

But what if Shine got it wrong?

Although Prin did a good job of following my tonkatsu swordsmanship, I didn’t get to see her overall athletic ability.

The luminous glow is twinkling.

The new glow-in-the-dark dinosaur stickers I recently put up were shinier than the ones I put up before.

When I see the dinosaur, I am reminded of little Amy playing with the Lightning-Dinosaur series.

“Ugh!”

Thoughts that were flowing smoothly get sidetracked.

I let out a short scream as my consciousness flowed on its own, and immediately pulled the blanket up to my head.

Nothing got better if I thought about it alone.

First, Amy’s confirmation was needed.

I let out a small sigh, crawled under the covers, and hugged Shine’s arms.

***

The morning dawned.

I woke up as usual to the morning announcement, went straight to the bathroom, washed my face, and put my toothbrush in my mouth.

Today’s toothpaste is banana flavored.

I brush my teeth diligently, licking my tongue as the banana scent fills my mouth.

Now that I’m tall enough, I can use the sink without a step.

Isn’t that a huge advancement?

I glanced at the footrest resting in the corner and rinsed my mouth.

As I came out of the bathroom, Shine was walking into the bathroom, rubbing her eyes, as if she had just woken up.

She said, stepping aside slightly.

“Did you sleep well?”

“Yeah.”

“You slept quite late. What happened?”

“Just. I have a lot to think about.”

“Hmm… If you sleep late, you won’t grow taller.”

Shine nodded to my answer and gave me a small kiss on the cheek.

The place where her lips touched felt hot as if on fire.

As I was fidgeting with my fingers and caressing my cheek with a strange sense of tension, Shine whispered in a small voice.

“It’s normal for sisters to be like that.”

Of course, I knew that it was normal for sisters who were close to each other to kiss on the cheek.

Kissing is fine, but please refrain from sticking your tongue out and licking my cheek.

I nodded, rubbing the area where Shine’s saliva had gotten on it.

“I know.”

Shine smiled with satisfaction at my answer and went into the bathroom.

I went straight to the table in the living room and sat down.

Amy, who had already finished all the preparations, had prepared healthy drinks for Shine and me and placed them on the table.

What will it taste like today?

Now, you can expect flavor from the green juice that Amy makes.

Judging from the scent, it seemed like today’s drink was made with tomatoes.

The tomatoes were delicious to eat.

I smiled with satisfaction and immediately grabbed the cup and downed it in one shot.

Gulp, gulp, the cool tomato juice goes down my throat.

Amy smiled happily as she saw me like that.

It’s an ordinary daily life.

A daily life where you can’t find any sense of tension.

I don’t like this atmosphere.

That’s why I set the mood with a deep frown.

“Amy.”

“Huh?”

“You didn’t forget what I said yesterday, did you?”

“About the printer?”

“Yes.”

“I’ll never forget what Jeff told me.”

I feel better about Amy’s answer.

My short legs dangled from the chair and rock back and forth like a puppy wagging its tail.

“Oh, really?”

“Yeah.”

“He’s definitely a suspicious kid. You have to look for him.”

“It’s already like that.”

I leaned forward in my chair at Amy’s answer and looked in front of her.

She was doing something on her laptop.

The screen wasn’t visible, but from what Amy said, she was most likely looking for information about Prin.

“Did you find something?”

“Well, there are some suspicious points, but other than that, it’s really ordinary?”

“Do you think a normal girl could copy my moves?”

“So I’m looking into it.”

Judging from the fact that Amy didn’t say anything in particular, it seemed like she didn’t get any special information.

I quickly got down from the chair, went over to where Amy was sitting, and crawled onto her lap.

Amy naturally embraced my actions and allowed me to sit comfortably.

“Hmm…”

I sat on Amy’s lap, resting my chin on her laptop screen.

A small window appeared on the screen, showing information about the printer, which wasn’t much different from what Shine and I had found out.

“Is this the end?”

“Yeah. That’s it for now.”

As I was staring at my laptop screen in Amy’s arms, there was a knock on the closed front door.

Knock-knock-knock-

[Jeff~Shine~Amy~]

A familiar voice.

It was rain.

She knocked on the door as if asking me to open it quickly and desperately looked for me and Shine.

After checking my watch, I immediately got out of Amy’s arms and started changing into my school uniform.

It was time to go to school.

***

8 o’clock in the morning.

The time when students normally go to school.

White breath flowed out over the students crossing the playground.

“Jeff. Shine, why are you out in the cold?”

I put my finger to my lips to tell Lane to be quiet in response to his question.

Rain, who was quite perceptive, looked at me and covered his mouth with both hands.

The reason we arrived at school via the portal and went out to the playground instead of going to the classroom was to check on Prin and Fran as they usually were.

I was curious how the two of them behaved when we weren’t around.

To be honest, I wasn’t really interested in the franc, but for accurate information, I had to check it out too.

I sat down on the floor, sniffling, with my notebook in my hand.

The cold marble floor made my buttocks tingle, but I had to keep a low posture to avoid other people’s gaze.

After a while of looking at the playground, the twins we had been waiting for appeared.

Shiny black hair that can be seen from afar.

Jewel-like eyes reminiscent of rubies.

Next to that Prince, there was a boy with an unfamiliar vibe.

Prin and Fran. The two crossed the playground at an ordinary pace.

When other people’s eyes were on me, I seemed to be pretending to be normal.

After writing the information down in my notebook, I immediately stood up from my seat.

“Move!”

Shine and Rain started moving quickly at my words.

The place we were headed to was the hallway used by first-year students.

When we arrived at the hallway on the second floor, we immediately hid in a corner.

Prin and Fran were also walking down the hallway toward their classroom.

“Are you following Prince and Fran?”

I put my finger to my lips again in response to Rain’s question.

Rain was startled by my appearance and covered my mouth with both hands.

The moment Prince and Fran entered the classroom, I deployed an electric field and started checking the situation inside the classroom.

Students gathered in groups of three or five and talking.

Fran and Prin, who were placed between them, were not much different from the students around them.

However, it seemed that Prin’s words about not having any friends were true, as no other students approached the two of them.

“I guess you’re not thinking of coming out.”

I nodded to Shine’s words.

The two people who entered the classroom sat in their seats and did not move.

In the end, it seemed like this was the end of information gathering this morning.

As I sighed as I came out of the corner, Rain, who had been observing me, took his hand off his mouth and asked me.

“Jeff!”

“Yeah.”

“Are Prince and Fran suspicious?”

“Yeah.”

“I knew it. I was suspicious of those two too.”

Rain nodded at my answer and said.

I was surprised by her words and asked back.

“You were thinking it was suspicious?”

“Yeah.”

“What was suspicious?”

“First of all, you were too kind.”

“Is it suspicious that you’re kind?”

“Most students who enter here are arrogant. It’s very rare to find a child who can humble himself.”

I blinked at Rain’s words.

Because I didn’t expect her to be judging the situation so coolly.

Rain said, raising his finger as if there was more.

“The second is the center of gravity of the prin.”

“Center of gravity?”

“Yeah. If you’re a normal student, the center of gravity on the left and right sides of your body won’t match. That’s normal for normal people. There’s bound to be a place where the weight is more concentrated on one side.”

“How was the print?”

“It was perfect. It was like he had been training for a very long time. Even his gait was normal.”

It seemed like Rain had something to offer in her own way.

Since I usually only showed my blind side, I assumed that Rain wouldn’t know, so I hugged her and apologized.

I had a very low opinion of her because of her appearance and her usual behavior.

In short, it meant that it was my mistake.

“Sorry Rain!”

“Hey, Jeff?”

Rain twisted her body in embarrassment, but I hugged her tighter.

As expected, Rain was an adult.

The way he usually acted was like a perfect child, to the point where even I, who was on the same team, was fooled.

But all of this was just Rain’s strategy to make others let their guard down.

Rain was not someone I, a child, could possibly judge.

As expected, my teacher.

That’s cool.

“Rain. You’re so cool. I knew it.”

“Heh.. hehe…”

After seeing Rain’s wonderful appearance for the first time in a while, I caressed her roughly, and Rain let out a hehe with a relaxed face.

This is also an act to deceive other people’s eyes.

As expected, Rain was amazing.

“That’s what Rain said. Prin and Fran were suspicious and were gathering information.”

“I see. I’m not sure about that yet. I haven’t told anyone else.”

I nodded to Rain’s words.

This is Rain who taught me.

She was so much better at moving her body than I was, it was absurd that she didn’t notice Prin.

We went straight back to the classroom.

As long as Prin and Fran didn’t come out of the classroom, no further information could be gathered, so this morning’s information gathering had to be satisfied with this.
