After saying that, Suiren did not wait for the two of them to speak. She turned around and ran back toward her room first.
"Eh!", Seeing this, Aoi wanted to say something, but before she could, Suiren had already left.
Hikari and Aoi could only vaguely catch a glimpse of the fair skin behind Suiren's ear, pale yet tinged with red.
Several minutes passed before Suiren walked out of her room again.
However, her fair and tender face was still faintly flushed.
"Suiren-nee, are we still playing Ludo?", Aoi asked Suiren with a grin.
At this moment, she was clearly wearing nothing but her underwear, looking very cool and revealing, yet she showed not the slightest bit of embarrassment.
After all, one was her older sister, and the other was the one she loved, someone she had already been completely open with. Naturally, Aoi felt no mental burden at all.
Hearing Aoi's words, Suiren's pretty face flushed even more. She shook her head directly and said, "I am not playing anymore. This game is too childish. I don't feel like playing it."
Then, using the tone of an older sister, she said to Aoi, "Aoi, hurry up and put your clothes on too. Hikari-kun is still in the house. This is too rude."
"Alright then. So Suiren-nee thinks it's childish," Hearing this, Aoi smiled and shook her head.
Then she stood up and tossed the sailor uniform and JK skirt she was holding to Hikari.
"Hikari-kun, help me get dressed," Aoi walked up to Hikari with light, swaying steps.
"Okay," Since they had already been completely open with each other before, Hikari skillfully helped her put on the sailor uniform, tie the necktie, and slip on the light pink JK plaid skirt.
Seeing how familiar and intimate the two of them were, Suiren could not help but widen her eyes.
'How can they even practice this?'
'Do they already secretly help each other change clothes everytime?'
Ignoring Suiren's shocked expression, Aoi smiled and said, "Suiren-nee, since you don't want to play Ludo and think it's childish, then let's play something else together. It's still early before bedtime."
"Play what?", Suiren asked, puzzled.
"The three of us can watch a movie together, just like when we watched anime together when we were kids," Aoi suggested.
"Alright," Suiren thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
Then the two sisters turned their heads to look at Hikari. Hikari shrugged, "I don't mind."
The three of them immediately sat down together on the sofa. Hikari sat in the middle, with Aoi and Suiren sitting on his left and right, preparing to watch a movie together.
Hikari noticed that Aoi seemed to have prepared in advance. After standing up from the sofa, she went straight to the TV, squatted down, reached into the cabinet, pulled out a disc, and directly put it into the DVD player.
"Eh, Aoi, when did you rent a disc? What movie is it?", Suiren asked curiously.
"I rented it a few days ago," Aoi explained with a smile, "It's a really good movie. The kind that makes your blood boil, your heart race, and your hormones rise…"
"Eh… is it an action movie?", Suiren asked curiously.
"Mmh~ kind of?", Aoi said ambiguously.
Hikari immediately gave her a suspicious look. Could it be that the discs she took were those popular emotion-driven action films from Japan?
No way. Watching those with the two of them would already be one thing, but adding Suiren into the mix… wouldn't that be unbearably awkward?
Although it felt like something a normal person would never do, if it were Aoi, it didn't seem completely impossible.
The movie soon began playing, and the first scene showed a mother with her child.
Seeing this, Hikari let out a sigh of relief.
'Judging from the color tone and camera angles, it doesn't seem like that kind of action mini-movie.'
Meanwhile, Suiren didn't think much of it and was watching with great interest.
But after several dozen minutes, the atmosphere of the film gradually changed, becoming gloomy and terrifying.
A few minutes later, a horrifying silhouette suddenly appeared, startling Suiren.
"Ah!", Suiren, who wasn't very brave, let out a strange cry.
Seeing Hikari and Aoi look over at her, Suiren's pretty face flushed slightly.
But she immediately said to Aoi, "Aoi, the movie you put on isn't a horror movie, is it? I feel like the curtains just moved. Let's stop watching!"
Hearing this, Aoi smiled, "It's fine. I heard it's not scary. And it's not like there's no man in the house. Hikari-kun is right here. What are you afraid of? Since we're already watching, let's just finish it together!"
Pulled along by Aoi, Suiren finally sat back down on the sofa.
The movie continued, and less than ten minutes later, a terrifying ghostly face suddenly appeared, startling Suiren again.
"Ahhhh!", Frightened by the sudden horror shot, Suiren screamed loudly.
Hikari felt his arm being tightly hugged, pressed between something huge and soft.
Turning his head, he saw that it was indeed the frightened and nervous Suiren holding onto him. She was even burying her head into his chest in terror.
Hikari wasn't surprised that Suiren was clearly a bit timid.
What surprised him was that his other arm was also tightly hugged. It was Aoi clinging to him as well.
So the one who had taken the initiative to suggest watching a horror movie, Aoi, was also a scared rookie. Truly the type who's bad at it yet loves to play.
As for Hikari himself, he really wasn't afraid. After all, he had seen real ghosts before. The few in the movie were nothing to him.
Perhaps they were too scared. As they kept watching, Suiren and Aoi both stopped talking and just held tightly onto Hikari's arms without letting go.
The sisters sat on either side, tightly sandwiching Hikari in between.
After a long half hour passed, the film ended with a few more frightening shots before finally finishing.
"Hoo!"
Seeing that the movie was finally over, Suiren let out a long breath and lightly patted her full chest, which had been rising and falling due to fear.
On the other side, although Aoi handled it a bit better, her expression also looked more relaxed.
"It's finally over," Aoi let out a breath, seeming not to have expected the movie to be so scary.
"It really was kind of long. It's completely dark outside now," Hikari glanced out the window.
Aoi and Suiren also turned their heads together toward the window behind them.
Maybe it was just an illusion from having just watched the movie, but they seemed to see a streak of white in the darkness.
At the same time, a whistling sound of wind came from outside the window, sounding like evil spirits howling in the dark, scaring Suiren and Aoi into hugging Hikari's arms tightly again.
"Hikari-kun, stay here tonight!", Aoi said to Hikari.
"Yes! Hikari-kun, stay over at our place tonight!", The still-frightened Suiren quickly echoed Aoi's words.
"Alright," Hikari nodded.
"How about… the three of us lay out bedding in the living room and sleep together? I'm scared to be alone in my room," Aoi suggested again.
"Hm?", Hikari looked at her with some confusion, 'Is she really that scared?'
Suiren nodded repeatedly and agreed, "Yes, that's a great idea. Aoi is so smart! Tonight, the three of us will sleep together in the living room! That way no one is alone, and the ghosts won't come looking for us!"
"Hikari-kun, stay with us!"
"Alright," Seeing the hopeful look in Suiren's eyes, Hikari had no choice but to nod and agree.
"Then Hikari-kun, come with me to my room to get pillows and blankets. I have extra ones," Aoi said.
"Okay," Hikari nodded and followed behind Aoi as they went upstairs.
Watching the two of them leave, Suiren, left alone in the living room, felt a bit creeped out and immediately followed them quietly.
———
"Hikari-kun, that movie was so scary. Aoi is really scared. Hold me tight," As soon as Hikari followed Aoi into the room, she pounced into his arms.
"Really?", Seeing Aoi saying she was scared, yet her hands were still being naughty, Hikari felt doubtful.
"That's not important. What's important is that I really want to be close to you today, Hikari-kun. I've held back for so long. I really can't hold it anymore. Tonight, Hikari-kun, just come to me directly," Aoi said in a soft, coquettish tone.
"Suiren-nee is still in the house. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?", Seeing Aoi suddenly heat up even though they had come up to get pillows and blankets, Hikari felt helpless.
Aoi continued insistently, her voice a bit broken, "Our first time… it'll be more exciting this way… right…"
Suddenly, hurried breathing sounded in the hallway outside the door.
Because she was scared to stay alone in the living room, Suiren had followed them upstairs not long after Aoi and Hikari went up, planning to wait outside the door.
But as she waited, she noticed that the sounds inside were not quite right, and she immediately started eavesdropping.
She hadn't been listening for long before she heard Aoi say those words.
Thinking about their ages and guessing that Aoi and Hikari might be trying to secretly taste forbidden fruit, Suiren could no longer hold herself back.
She pushed the door open.
Seeing the two of them looking startled, Suiren put on a calm expression and said, "Eh, Hikari-kun, Aoi, haven't you gotten the pillows and blankets yet? I thought you were already done."
"Oh right, Hikari-kun, if the three of us are sleeping in the living room, we should lay out a mat. Otherwise it'll be easy to catch a chill."
"That mat is really heavy. Come help your Nee-san move it."
After saying that, Suiren didn't wait for Hikari or Aoi to respond. She walked in, grabbed Hikari, and pulled him out.
After following Suiren to her room, Hikari saw her close the door directly, then turn around and sternly warn him, "Hikari-kun, you're not allowed to agree to do those things you shouldn't do with Aoi!"
She hadn't fully heard what Aoi said in the room earlier.
But from what little she heard, Suiren had already decided what kind of "first time" Aoi was talking about.
Thinking that the two of them had already progressed to that point, possibly just one step away from crossing the line, Suiren's pretty face flushed red as she nervously looked at Hikari.
Hearing Suiren's words and seeing her reaction, Hikari immediately understood why Aoi had called him up to get pillows and blankets and then closed the door.
And those suggestive words too. So she had been deliberately hinting at Suiren, 'Did she know there were ears on the other side of the wall?'
Although he guessed it was all part of Aoi's scheming, seeing Suiren's current expression, Hikari also knew there was probably no way to explain it clearly to her.
After all, Suiren had already believed before that they might cross the line and do those things, and now she had heard Aoi say that.
Even if he tried to explain now, Suiren would probably just think he was lying.
So Hikari could only say, "I can promise you, Suiren-nee, but I can't control Aoi's side. If she really wants to come to me, it'll be hard for me to deal with."
Hearing this, Suiren's cheeks burned red. She lightly bit her lower lip and said, "Y-you just hold on a bit. Nee-san will… will make it up to you!"
"How will you make it up to me? Right now?", Hikari asked curiously.
"Right now… right now won't do! If we stay too long, Aoi will get suspicious."
"Let's… let's go back to the living room first."
"When we sleep later, move closer to me, and stay farther away from Aoi."
"Anyway… anyway, Nee-san will help you!", Suiren said, holding her heavy softness with both hands, lightly biting her red lips.
"Alright," Hearing Suiren, in her big-sister manner, say that she would help him, Hikari really had no objections left.
"I'll take the mat. You help carry the pillows," Suiren said as she bent down and hugged the soft mat on the floor.
Since it was going to be laid out in the living room for three people to sleep together, Suiren chose the largest mat in the house. It was very big and very heavy.
From Hikari's angle, he could see the round, perky curve of Suiren's hips beneath the hem of her skirt as she bent over.
No, what he could see was Suiren's long, jade-like legs trembling nonstop from the excessive weight and her forcing herself.
Seeing her struggling like this, Hikari immediately stepped forward and lifted the heavy mat up in one go.
"Eh?", Suddenly feeling the weight disappear from her hands, Suiren, who felt like she had been possessed by a British strongman, looked confused.
"I'll carry it, Suiren-nee. This mat is heavy," Hikari said, turning to her.
"Ah… okay! Hikari-kun has really grown up," Seeing Hikari's tall, sturdy build, easily lifting the mattress that she could only barely raise with all her strength, Suiren couldn't help but feel emotional.
Because she still remembered when they were young, Hikari was like a little brother, following behind her. Back then, since she was a bit older and developed earlier, she was a head taller than both Hikari and Aoi. Anything they couldn't reach up high, they had to ask this big sister for help.
