15. The Perfect Plan

15. The Perfect Plan

“Priscilla.”

“Yes!”

“Are you perhaps still in class or something?”

I had originally intended to peek into the classroom briefly and then bring her out, but due to a failure in controlling my strength, I ended up unintentionally kidnapping Priscilla.

If the class had already ended, it wouldn’t matter, but what if they were still in the middle of class? That would be the worst kind of nuisance.

“No. The class ended early. I was waiting for Skadi… The other students were lingering to chat with each other.”

“Is that so?”

That’s a relief, then.

As I reassured myself and started walking outside, Priscilla clung to my tail and asked. I wrapped my tail around her waist.

“Um, Skadi, may I ask why you came to pick me up?”

“To devise a plan regarding your sister.”

“My sister…?”

“Yes.”

The first reason is to protect Priscilla from the clutches of domestic violence, and the second reason is to find a way to improve the relationship between Priscilla and her sister.

… The third reason is simply to eat together.

“Do we really have to…? I mean, my sister isn’t that bad of a person…”

“Priscilla. I told you before. What a healthy sisterly relationship is like.”

“No, that…”

Priscilla still doesn’t seem to believe me. It’s a sad story. To not even know what’s right because of domestic violence.

I decided to give Priscilla another lecture on the proper relationship between sisters. While holding Priscilla tightly with my tail so she couldn’t distance herself, I said to Priscilla, who was leaning into my embrace.

It’s probably just my imagination that Priscilla’s face seems bright red.

“Priscilla.”

“Yes, yes….”

“Sisters should support and trust each other, and at the same time, rely on each other. As a family, they should be closer than anyone else in this world and love each other.”

“Ugh….”

“Of course, not all sisters in this world are close. Even if they are close, there aren’t many who are as particularly close as my sister and I. But that doesn’t mean you don’t need to get close to your sister, right?”

And it’s good to have big dreams when you’re going to do something. The goal for Priscilla’s sister relationship improvement project is the same level as the relationship between me and my sister.

Of course, since my sister and I are so close, it might be difficult for Priscilla to reach that level, but the goal should be set high.

I embraced Priscilla deeply in my chest, silencing her as she was about to speak, and preached the right things sisters should do for each other.

“S-Skadi… Ugh?!”

“When sisters meet, they should first greet each other warmly. Then, they should hug each other tightly with love. If they are beastmen, they might intertwine their tails, but since Priscilla is human, there’s no need for that.”

“Ugh… Oop…”

“And in everyday life, they should stick close to each other. When eating, when bathing, when changing clothes. They should smile and laugh softly when they see each other, stroke each other, brush each other’s hair, and hold hands.”

“Oop….”

“If their shoulders are stiff, they should massage each other’s chests, give goodnight kisses every night, give massages, and be as close to each other as possible. That’s the right sisterly relationship.”

As I got carried away and spoke enthusiastically without realizing it, I hugged Priscilla a bit too tightly. When I loosened the strength in my tail and arms that were holding her, Priscilla staggered and took a breath.

Priscilla’s face looked dazed, as if her mind was spinning.

I said to Priscilla again, her ears close to my lips.

“Priscilla, sisters should be very close to each other.”

“Close…?”

“Yes. It’s very normal for sisters to hug, kiss, and touch each other. Do you understand?”

“Hug… normal… thing…?”

“Yes, yes. My sister learns so quickly.”

This time, I carefully hugged Priscilla, being careful not to apply too much force. I gently stroked her head and spoke words of praise.

… Oh, right, Priscilla isn’t my sister. I unconsciously treated her like my sibling at home.

Priscilla, who was suddenly treated like a sibling, seemed still dazed and leaned into me, smiling blissfully.

“Ehehe… Sister… You smell nice…”

Hmm.

Well, it’s fortunate that she seems to have understood what I said.

I waited for Priscilla to regain her senses for a moment. Priscilla, who suddenly woke up in my arms, was startled and distanced herself from me.

“No, um, Skadi, I’m sorry…! I don’t know what came over me…”

“No, it’s okay.”

I didn’t feel bad either, as it felt like I had met my sister after a long time.

My sister used to cling to me like this too. Burying her face in my chest, blushing strangely…

Speaking of which, I wonder how my sister is doing.

Is she crying because I’m not there? Is she having a hard time?

I should write a letter to my sister later. Although resolving Priscilla’s situation comes first.

“Then let’s go now.”

“Uh, where?”

“To eat.”

I’m hungry.

——

“Golden Sun?”

As usual, while eating with Priscilla, I felt someone approaching me and turned around to see a tanned blonde delinquent.

Golden Sun tilted her head.

“What’s a Golden Sun?”

“Uh… it’s a thing. It’s nothing special.”

“Well, if you say so.”

Golden Sun was a word that didn’t exist in this world. I always called her Golden Sun in my mind, so I accidentally blurted it out.

I need to be careful. From now on, I should call her by her name.

… But what was Golden Sun’s name again?

“Anyway, can I eat with you? Like last time.”

“Of course. Sit here.”

While I made some space and struggled to recall Golden Sun’s name, Priscilla, who had chewed and swallowed the meat I gave her, asked.

“Skadi? What do you mean ‘like last time’?”

“Ah, did I not tell you? Last time, the person I ate with was this Golden Sun… no, this person.”

Golden Sun waved her hand amicably at Priscilla.

“Hello? Nice to meet you. You’re the second daughter of the Louer family, right? I’ve heard the rumors. My name is Sorina von Ossen.”

“Ah, yes. Nice to meet you, Sorina. My name is Priscilla von Louer. But rumors… what kind?”

After exchanging names, Priscilla asked, and Golden Sun paused for a moment before speaking. Upon hearing her words, Priscilla’s face turned bright red.

“You know, pee-“

“Aaaahhh!! That’s enough!! You don’t have to say it!!”

Priscilla waved her hands around, trying to stop Golden Sun’s mouth. Golden Sun chuckled and removed her hand.

Looking at her like that, she really looks like a delinquent.

Then, Golden Sun elegantly cut her steak with a refined gesture, unlike her flashy appearance. She then raised a piece to eat it, but after seeming to ponder something for a moment, she suddenly brought the meat to my mouth.

Of course, feeding each other is common sense, so I naturally accepted the steak. It’s probably just my imagination that Golden Sun’s smile deepened.

Priscilla, who had been watching the scene intently, made a slightly displeased expression and cut a large piece of steak, offering it to me.

“Skadi, mine too!”

“Yes.”

As soon as I swallowed the steak, a piece of meat touched my mouth. Mmm, meat is good. I put the meat Priscilla shared into my mouth.

“Eat mine too.”

“Yes.”

Then, this time, meat was delivered from the opposite side. I swallowed the meat without hesitation. And then-

“P-Priscilla!”

Again.

I kept receiving meat as if I were a baby bird being fed by its mother. Eventually, when my mouth was full of meat, I had to stop the spoons coming towards my mouth.

“That’s enough now!”

If this continues, we’ll end up spending the entire lunch break just eating. I originally planned to devise a plan to bring Priscilla and her sister closer while eating.

Besides, I ate so much meat that I was full.

I lightly chided Priscilla, who was the starting point of this endless meat-giving ceremony.

“Priscilla. This is not the time. We need to prepare the plan.”

“Ah, yes….”

“The plan?”

Then, Golden Sun, who was listening nearby, tilted her head, and seeing that, I exclaimed, “Ah.”

Isn’t it true that the more heads you have to brainstorm together, the better!

As soon as I thought that, I decided to involve her in this plan. When I briefly explained the plan to her, Golden Sun summarized my words.

“So, you want to make Priscilla and her sister get along?”

“Yes. You understood well.”

“Oh… Wow, it’s a more wholesome plan than I thought.”

Golden Sun muttered, “I thought it would be a really weird plan.” Then she expressed her willingness to participate.

“It sounds fun. I’ll help too.”

This was the end of the preparation.

Now it was time to work out the detailed specifics. The three of us put our heads together and began to ponder how we could improve the relationship between the sisters.

However, no matter how much we thought, no useful answers came out.

Priscilla, being the person involved, couldn’t come up with good answers, and Golden Sun, perhaps because she’s an only child, suggested impractical solutions like ‘go talk openly with your sister’.

Finally, I opened my mouth, unable to listen any longer.

“Let’s make them kiss first.”

It was a perfect plan.
