Chapter 34: Stressful Morning
On the way to school, Shido walked alongside Tohka and Kotori. The morning air was brisk, but their cheerful chatter warmed the atmosphere.
Soon, they arrived at an intersection, where Kotori had to part ways as her school was in the other direction.
"Well then, Onii-chan, Tohka, I'll see you later!" Kotori waved cheerfully, preparing to leave.
"Bye-bye, Kotori!" Tohka exclaimed, happily waving back.
Kotori, however, lingered. She stepped closer to Shido as her expression changed.
Without warning, she grabbed his necktie forcefully, tugging him down so close that their faces were mere inches apart.
Seeing that she pulled his face too close, Kotori couldn't help but remember what happened before when her perverted brother wanted to take her chaste lips.
A faint pinkness appeared on her cheeks but she didn't let go of his necktie as she whispered to Shido with a hint of hatred.
"Onii-chan..."
Her tone tinged with mock sweetness, though her eyes hinted at mischief and unresolved frustration. "I still haven't forgiven you for what you did during breakfast. So be prepared for payback."
She released his tie abruptly and skipped away, waving back with a beaming smile, as though her earlier display was an illusion.
