In the previous second, she was still arrogantly calling him "trash fish onii-chan," and in the next second, she immediately shifted on rails at light speed, there wasn't even a need for a transition.
Kaito looked at the heroic cucumber Mortis in front of him, the corner of his mouth imperceptibly hooked up, "I still prefer the rebellious look you had just now. Can you go back to that?"
"No way~",.The green-haired girl flatteringly leaned forward to massage his shoulders, all the while pledging loyalty with utmost sincerity, "There is no second sun in the sky; in my heart, there is forever only one sun, Onii-chan!"
Ten jade-like slender, nimble fingers kneaded his shoulders back and forth, soft and gentle, unfortunately the strength was too little. It felt more like she was just scratching an itch.
"That's enough," Kaito didn't allow her to continue touching him. After briefly experiencing the massage service from his little sister, he slapped her hands away, "I've been outside for a while today. I'm a bit tired. I'll go take a bath first."
'There's a benefit like that?'
Mortis's golden eyes spun around, then she raised her hand seriously, "Just so happens, I also exercised all day and sweated a lot. Let's bathe together! I can also help you scrub your back!"
"You're too noisy, no," Kaito ruthlessly rejected her suggestion. For him, taking a bath was a way to mentally relax. But if he added a restless Mortis into the mix, it would become torture. If it were the quieter Mutsumi, it might barely be acceptable.
'How hateful!'
"In what way am I noisy?", Mortis puffed up angrily at him. When this girl got angry, she looked like a puffed-up pufferfish, her fair little face puffed like a bun, making people really want to reach out and poke it.
One could only say that Mutsumi's body appearance was really top-model level. Even the little Mortis who shared that face was extremely cute. Kaito couldn't resist rubbing her little cheeks and subconsciously used the same petting-cat technique he used on Kirara.
"Then let me put it another way, you're too lively."
Mortis was originally quite unhappy. If the one standing here had been Soyo and she had made the same suggestion to bathe together, she definitely wouldn't have been rejected by Onii-chan. The scariest thing is comparison, both had two arms and two legs. If Soyo could do it, why couldn't she? Where exactly was she inferior to Soyo?
'Stupid onii-chan even guards against his little sister! Truly outrageous! Obviously the brother-sister pairing is the best one to ship. People who don't read siscon doujins when reading doujins, and don't pick the little sister route when playing galgames, are like people who read the Harry Potter but skip Goblet of Fire, they forget the beginning, forget the middle, forget the end, and are destined to live a failed life.
But…
All of the girl's grumbling resentment disappeared entirely under her brother's skilled petting technique. Feeling the warmth on her cheeks, Mortis's little face uncontrollably turned red. Her heart thumped wildly, but she still tried to maintain her aura and keep herself from melting into this warmth.
"E-even if you say that, I'm still very angry!", She bit her lip, trying to show an expression of cold rejection, but her body honestly didn't move at all, allowing a certain someone's large hand to wreak havoc.
"Unless onii-chan…", The girl's face flushed redder. She reached out and touched her cheek, whispering, "Ki-ss me… again…"
The knife is already drawn, shouldn't there at least be a map first?
Who brings the knife right up to the face without warning?
However, seeing the girl's expectant and nervous, deer-like moist gaze, Kaito thought for a moment and didn't refuse.
Anyway, it wasn't the first time.
Besides… he had already done things much worse with Anon before. Compared to that, his little sister asking for a ki-ss on the cheek didn't seem like much?
Thinking this, he leaned over and pecked lightly on little Mortis's cheek.
But just as he straightened up, someone tugged on his sleeve.
Turning around, he met Mutsumi's expectant gaze.
Although she didn't speak, her eyes clearly expressed her wish, "Me too."
As a proper older brother, of course he couldn't show favoritism.
Kaito helplessly shook his head and had no choice but to turn and ki-ss her cheek too.
After finishing all this, in order to avoid the two girls making more requests, he didn't stay long. Using the bath as an excuse, he left the living room space to the little sisters.
Watching her brother's back disappear around the corner, Mortis, still immersed in the ki-ss just now, finally came back to her senses.
Glancing at Mutsumi beside her, she felt something was a bit off in her heart.
Clearly, she was always the one putting in all the effort. Why did Mutsumi always manage to get the same rewards as her in the end?
It gave her the strange illusion that she had become Mutsumi's worker.
'Fine.'
Considering they came from the same source, as long as Mutsumi admitted in the future that she was the younger sister, even if she got to drink the soup after Mortis ate the meat, it wouldn't be unacceptable.
After all, she was just that generous.

[The Next Day, Saturday]
[A High-End Apartment Building]
Morning light gently filtered in, landing on the girl's snow-like face, adding a soft halo to her already beautiful features.
Yukinoshita Yukino wore a cute cat-themed apron. Her long black hair was tied up in a neat high ponytail, and she was seriously making a dessert called "Mount Fuji Snow Milk Jelly."
Ever since Kaito asked her to use a dessert as a thank-you gift, the second lady would often browse dessert videos online and try recreating them.
The ingredients for Mount Fuji Snow Milk Jelly mainly included milk, butterfly pea flower powder, and light cream. It got its name from resembling Mount Fuji in shape. With a delicate and cool texture, it's perfect as a summer dessert.
Today was Saturday, also the day she had agreed to visit Kaito to pet cats.
Going empty-handed would be too impolite, and it didn't match her personality. But bringing an expensive gift would feel overly formal.
By contrast, a dessert made by her own hands wasn't particularly pricey but carried heartfelt sincerity, making it the perfect choice.
She poured white milk over the ice-blue jelly and sprinkled some butterfly pea flower powder for decoration. The "Mount Fuji Snow Milk Jelly" was finally complete.
Looking at the dessert in front of her, exquisite like a work of art, the girl let out a breath of relief.
Although it was her first attempt, she had a solid foundation in cooking. From the looks of it, the replication was fairly accurate.
She just didn't know if it suited Kaito's taste?
Even if it didn't, that was fine, she could gradually adjust it until she fully understood his preferences.
After all… that too was a form of repaying kindness.
She would repay Kaito's life-saving grace, for both herself and her sister.
Looking at the time again, it was already 9 a.m.
Yukino stopped thinking further. She untied her apron, carefully packed her finished dessert, left home, and boarded a train bound for Ikebukuro.
———
She had been here before and was once splashed with food by the mischievous Kirara, dirtying her clothes. In the end, she had to borrow the bathroom to clean herself, and a very awkward incident happened.
Recalling that scene, a light blush crept over the girl's porcelain-white cheeks.
That had been her first time having such close contact with the opposite sex, where she had revealed everything without holding back.
She brushed aside the stray hair by her ear, shook off those messy thoughts, took a light breath, and rang the doorbell.
Along with a burst of light footsteps, the door quickly opened, and a little green head popped out.
"Hello, who are you looking for?", Seeing the unfamiliar green-haired girl in front of her, Yukino froze for a moment and instinctively glanced at the house number beside the door.
'Did I… knock on the wrong door?'
