Two hours later, when the real seafood risotto was finally served, Shiho, whose stomach was already growling with hunger, frowned as she stared at the red marks on her sister's neck: "Are there mosquitoes in the kitchen?"
"Much worse than mosquitoes." Mingmei muttered softly, rubbing her aching back, while glancing out of the corner of her eye at the "culprit" who was diligently feeding her younger sister.
Yuzuru was scooping up golden rice grains with a spoon, topped with plump shrimp and mussels.
"Come on, ah—" He held the spoon to Shiho's lips like he was coaxing a child, and the latter opened her mouth reflexively, completely unaware that this action had been repeated for quite a while.
In her younger sister's mind, she was eating gracefully on her own, but in reality, every bite was fed to her by Nanami Hanyu himself.
The maid already knows the truth.
Yuzuru canceled the hypnotic effect of the Mirror Flower Water Moon on her.
The illusion of a mirage can alter a person's perception. If Yuzuru doesn't actively cancel it, even if he takes off his glasses, the person whose perception has been altered will still not remember what actually happened.
Only visual memories from the time when cognition was modified will remain.
That's great.
It would be a godsend in hentai anime.
But as much as he joked around, Yuzuru would never alter his girls' perceptions or memories.
"Mmm, I'm so full."
After finishing the last bite of seafood risotto, Shiho Miyano looked suspiciously at her slightly protruding belly.
"That's strange..." she poked her stomach, "I only ate two bowls..."
"Cough cough cough!" Akemi almost choked.
Heaven knows my sister was just fed a seafood rice bowl that was enough for three people—Master Yuzuru even went to the kitchen twice to add more rice halfway through.
Yuzuru rested his chin on his hand, admiring Shiho's bewildered expression, and suddenly snapped his fingers crisply.
"Smack!"
The girl with tea-colored hair froze as she wiped her mouth.
Memories can be altered, but they do not disappear.
As cognition returned, the floodgates of memory burst open, and the vivid scenes from two hours earlier swept back like a tsunami: the sticky ketchup on the kitchen counter, my sister's long, white legs pinned against the refrigerator door, and my own damned words, "You guys continue, I'll close the door for you."
Shock, anger, shame, rage...
All sorts of emotions erupted in my mind.
"Thud," the napkin slipped from her fingers.
The images that flashed through her mind caused her icy blue eyes to contract sharply, and her fair cheeks flushed red at a visible speed, all the way to her ears.
"You...you guys..." Shiho's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, "...in the kitchen...and you actually..."
Akemi immediately covered her face: "Ai, let me explain..."
"Explain what? Explain how you... in front of me..." Shiho stammered, her whole body bristling like a cat with its short brown hair standing on end. "And you expect me to help you close the door?!"
She finally realized she'd been tricked again.
Moreover, he was humiliated to his face by his own dear older sister.
He even thoughtfully closed the door for him.
Upon hearing this, Yuzuru gave a harmless smile: "Shiho looks so cute when she closes the door."
"Bang!" Shiho slammed her fist on the table, making the cutlery clatter. "I'm angry! Be serious!"
“We’re very serious.” Akemi blinked her big eyes and lowered her voice. “Speaking of which…did Shiho say ‘Be careful’ when she closed the door?”
Shiho mechanically turned to look at Hanyu Nan: "You even incorporated such details into the hypnosis?"
“No, that’s not true.” Yuzuru raised his hands in surrender. “That was my dear Shiho’s heartfelt concern.”
"Sis! Sis!" Shiho gritted her teeth, enunciating each word clearly, "You actually helped him lie to me?"
Akemi's gaze drifted to the crystal chandelier: "Um... before the illusion dissipated, I also thought we were really cooking... and in the end, I was clearly the one yelling for help, but someone just closed the door..."
The air suddenly became quiet.
"Yu! Sheng! Nan!"
"Um, Shiho, let me explain... no, let me explain." Looking at the murderous-looking beautiful girl, Yuzuru Nanami decisively raised her hands in surrender, casually taking off her glasses: "I was just conducting an experiment, you know~"
"Doing experiments...hehe..."
The tea-haired girl chuckled coldly, her face expressionless.
Then, before anyone could react, it pounced, opened its blood-red maw, revealing its sharp teeth, and bit down without hesitation, refusing to let go once it had bitten.
She becomes the test subject every time a new prop is available.
They used some underhanded tricks, all on her.
“...Do experiments...I’m letting you do experiments…” Shiho clung to Hanyu like a koala, mumbling indistinctly, “If I don’t bite you to death today, I’m not Haibara.”
Akemi suddenly blinked her big eyes: "But aren't we surnamed Miyano? Could it be that Shiho can't wait to take her husband's surname?"
Nanami Hanyu raised her hand: "I agree! Shiho Hanyu's voice is amazing!"
Shiho Miyano: "..."
How come I never realized before that my older sister's mind could work so fast?
She paused for a moment while making a mouth movement, then pressed harder.
...
The sound of dishes being washed came from the kitchen.
After venting her anger, Shiho rubbed her aching cheek with her little hands, sat on the sofa sullenly, and turned her pretty face to the other side, refusing to look at the person who was trying to coax her.
Yuzuru rested his head on her shoulder, kissed her soft little hand, and explained with a smile, "I just made a new prop and wanted to test how it works, and it's just you and Akemi at home..."
