Chapter 182: Have you gotten used to it?

Rainy night.

Yukina held an umbrella, walking along a quiet street where a light drizzle fell, occasionally punctuated by a black luxury sedan speeding past.

Yukina sighed, complaining absent-mindedly.

“Honestly, where did that brother go now? It’s so late, why isn’t she back yet?”

Just then, a loud bang, like an explosion, suddenly came from a nearby alley, making Yukina jump.

“Eek! What was that?”

Ever since her brother returned to this world as a tiny witch with endless magic, Yukina felt that reality had become much less peaceful.

Although startled, she mustered her courage and cautiously walked into the alley.

After walking for a short distance, she saw a soaking wet figure at the end of the alley, with her back to Yukina. Judging by the slender figure, it was a girl about the same size as herself.

The girl had shoulder-length red hair, but soaked by the rain or some other liquid, it looked messy, like a mop.

“Um… are you alright?”

Yukina cautiously asked the girl. The girl did not respond but stiffly turned her head, staring intently at Yukina with eyes like a blood moon.

At the same time, she whispered something softly.

“Finally, I’ve found you!”

The gaze she projected pierced Yukina like a swift arrow.

Yukina felt her body convulse and immediately awoke from the nightmare.

****

Seeing the familiar ceiling, Yukina’s rapid breathing gradually calmed down.

“So it was a dream? That scared me to death! I really thought some enemy was coming after me!”

Yukina tried to wipe the cold sweat from her forehead, but to her surprise, her left hand felt pinned down, unable to lift itself.

Yukina turned her head and found a small, adorable figure with beautiful, clean, long silver hair sleeping in her arms.

Seeing the silver-haired cutie sleeping soundly in her arms, Yukina frowned slightly.

Without a doubt, this cutie was her brother, Charlotte.

Last night, after dinner, she had made a bed for Lillian on the floor of her room.

After all, she wasn’t so heartless as to make Lillian sleep on the hard sofa after making such a delicious dinner.

Although the floor bed wasn’t as soft as the real bed.

She had also suggested letting Lillian sleep on the bed while she slept on the floor bed, but Lillian refused this kindness.

Lillian stated that she was Charlotte’s exclusive maid. As Charlotte’s sister, Yukina should enjoy the same privileges as Charlotte. It wouldn’t be right for the master to sleep on the floor while the maid slept on the bed.

Even if she did arrange it that way, Lillian wouldn’t be able to sleep peacefully.

If Yukina’s small bed weren’t large enough for two ambitious girls, Yukina would have forcefully dragged the cute maid onto the bed.

Just as they were settled and ready for bed, Charlotte burst in, pillow in hand, without knocking.

“How dare you two sleep in the same room without me? You’re deliberately trying to isolate me, aren’t you! No way, I’m sleeping with you too!”

Under Charlotte’s unreasonable demands, the situation evolved into three people squeezed into Yukina’s small bedroom.

Although Yukina’s bed couldn’t comfortably fit both herself and Lillian, it could fit Charlotte.

All Yukina had to do was hold Charlotte’s small body like a body pillow in her arms.

While Yukina initially resisted this sleeping posture, drowsiness soon overcame her, and she stopped caring about propriety. She threw her arms around Charlotte’s small body, holding her tight, and clamped her legs around her, as if to prevent Charlotte from escaping.

And so, she woke up in this state.

Yukina stared at Charlotte sleeping soundly in her arms, looking thoroughly displeased.

‘This girl really sleeps without a care in the world! Does she truly see herself as a cute little sister?’

She was about to deliver a ruthless hand chop to wake up this freeloader when she was suddenly touched by Charlotte’s cute sleeping face. Her hand hesitated before striking.

Yukina couldn’t bring herself to ruin Charlotte’s world-class adorable sleeping face with her savagery.

After all, putting Charlotte’s identity aside, such a cute little sister was rare. Yukina, who had never experienced life with a sister, naturally longed for this kind of interaction.

‘Forget it, this brother of mine has actually put in a lot of effort already. I’ll just let her get a good night’s sleep in my arms.’

A hint of doting affection surfaced in Yukina’s eyes. She didn’t notice that her feelings toward Charlotte had undergone a profound, subtle transformation.

Suddenly, a small hand reached out. Charlotte, kneading Yukina’s chest, opened her mouth wide.

“Wow! Soft and sweet pineapple buns! Don’t mind if I do!”

Yukina delivered a hand chop to Charlotte’s head, instantly making her head smoke.

“Brother, hurry up and clean this room!”

Just like telling her severely beaten, eye-rolling friend to clean up after forcing a home run in class, Yukina pushed all the chores onto Charlotte before leaving for the living room.

At this time, Lillian had already finished preparing breakfast and was serving it on the dining table.

Seeing Yukina come out of the room, Lillian greeted her.

“Good morning, Lady Yukina!”

“Oh, good morning, Lillian! By the way, how are you up so early? You’ve already made breakfast!”

“No, this isn’t particularly early for me. I usually wake up at this time to make breakfast. It’s just that the kitchen equipment in this world is much more convenient than ours; breakfast that usually takes an hour to make only takes twenty minutes here.”

“Hehe, our world here is very convenient, isn’t it, Lillian? Do you want to stay here forever!”

“Lady Yukina, I am Lady Charlotte’s exclusive maid. I follow her wherever she goes. If she intends to stay here forever, I will naturally stay here too.”

“That’s great then! I definitely won’t let her leave me; I’ll make her stay with me until I die!”
