"Um…", Miyu's face turned bright red, frantically waving both hands, "No need! Really no need! I can do it myself."
"Nope, what this Onee-san gives, little sister must obediently eat it all."
"I… that…", The enemy's offensive was too strong, and Miyu sent out a distress signal.
In the kitchen, Shirou gave her a look, 'Since it's your big sister's goodwill, you have to accept it seriously.'
That was roughly the meaning.
Even Shirou was acting like this, so Miyu gave up resisting.
"Aahm!", Like giving up, she took big bites of the chocolate stick. And it was, surprisingly, really delicious. Suddenly she bit into something soft and fragrant.
"EEEK! Miyu, you bit Illya's hand!", Illya cried out.
"Mm! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!", Miyu nearly fell from her seat.
Illya laughed, "It's okay, Miyu, I don't mind. Actually… I'm kind of happy."
She winked at Miyu.
At that moment, Miyu felt like she was pierced by Cupid's arrow.
'Not good, too kawaii!'
'Why is Illya so cute!'
———
One hour later, Shirou finished cooking.
"Time to eat, ladies," Since it was getting late, Shirou had already informed Taiga earlier not to come over. So now it was just the three of them dining together.
Also, as always, he asked the system anytime, anywhere, 'Caretaker-san, do you know how to make glowing food?'
["Shirou-kun, please don't think I'm omnipotent."]
'Such a useless thing!', Shirou felt refreshed. Whether it was drowsy black tea or glowing food, it was all no problem.
———
After eating, Miyu insisted on doing the dishes. Shirou set up the movie they were going to watch and waited for Miyu to finish so they could watch it together.
'Right, let's make some dessert. The two of them should like that.'
'Let's go with pudding,' Shirou quickly decided on what to make. He remembered seeing Illya eat pudding several times before.
"Shirou, what are you making?", Illya curiously looked at him.
He prepared milk, granulated sugar, gelatin sheets, and fruit.
Shirou said, "I want to make pudding… Illya, what fruit do you like?"
Actually, there were only two fruit choices left. Strawberries and blueberries that hadn't been finished earlier.
"Blueberries," Illya replied. She had just eaten strawberries, so now she wanted blueberries.
"And you, Miyu?", Shirou turned and asked Miyu, who was wiping her hands.
"I... anything Onii-chan makes, I like," Miyu's smile always made Shirou feel healed.
"Then same as me, strawberries."
"Mm," Miyu obediently nodded, her joy nearly overflowing.
Her sleeve was tugged. Illya was unhappy, "Shirou, I want strawberries too."
"Is that so? But there aren't enough strawberries…", Shirou thought for a moment, "Then let's swap later while eating. That way Illya can have both blueberries and strawberries."
"That works, Illya likes that," Illya genuinely smiled for the first time.
"Hmph!", Miyu pouted, tugging Shirou's shirt, "Onii-chan, I want strawberries and blueberries too."
"Eh?", Shirou was troubled.
"Then Onii-chan will eat blueberries, and you two can share the strawberries."
"No way!" ×2
Illya and Miyu replied in unison, then looked at each other, and turned away again.
Miyu felt like things like this were meaningless if she couldn't share them with big brother.
Illya wasn't the same. She just… wanted to hold onto that sudden happiness. Ever since Kiritsugu and Irisviel went far away, she hadn't had that kind of emotion in a long time.
"It's okay," Shirou comforted them, "If I eat blueberries, then both of you can eat my pudding."
"T-then that's… not unacceptable," Miyu said in a small voice.
"Illya has no objection either," She leaned on the table with her small hands supporting her chin. The busy figure in the kitchen constantly drew Illya's eyes. It felt different from when she cooked with Sella.
Speaking of Sella, Illya raised her hand like a student in class, "Shirou, can Illya discuss something with you?"
"What is it?", Shirou poured milk into the pot, added the granulated sugar, and heated it with low flame.
"Actually, when Illya came, she brought two very important people with her. They're here to take care of Illya. Can they stay here too?"
'Two?', Shirou searched his memory, 'Can't really remember. Seems like their names were Leysritt(Liz) and Sella.'
"It's fine, but Illya needs to ask Miyu too."
"Right," Illya grabbed Miyu's hand, "Is that okay, Miyu? They're really important to Illya."
Being grabbed by Illya's hand and being so sincerely asked, Miyu felt very troubled.
"If Onii-chan said so, Miyu naturally won't refuse."
"That's great," Illya cheered, "Then tomorrow I'll let Liz and Sella come over."
Pouring the pudding into molds, putting them in the fridge. Now they just needed to wait two hours for the pudding to fully set.
Clapping his hands, Shirou walked over to Miyu, "Alright, let's watch the movie."
"What movie is it, Onii-chan?"
"Superior Ultraman 8 Brothers," Shirou's eyes sparkled. [T/N: The Best Ultraman Movie]
Miyu: "?"
Illya: "?"
"What's that?", Illya asked curiously.
"Never heard of the name. Is it a very profound movie?", Miyu pondered seriously.
"You'll know once you watch it," Shirou was full of confidence, "Absolutely exciting beyond belief!"
"Mm." ×2
The two held high expectations.
.

[One Hour Later]
"Isn't it over yet, Onii-chan?", Miyu yawned.
"Almost," Shirou answered seriously.
.
.
.
[Two Hours Later]
"Shirou, Illya needs to go to the bathroom."
Illya tried to sneakily escape the living room.
Her shoulder was pressed down, it was Shirou's gentle smile.
"Just wait a bit more, Illya. Once we finish this Ultraman Saga episode, it's done."
"Miyu, do you want to sleep?"
Miyu, who was nodding off with her head on the floor, jolted awake.
"No, Miyu just wants to, based on how light is produced, how light is transmitted, its reflection and refraction principles, and wave-particle duality… as well as the interaction between light and matter, to conclude that it's absolutely unimaginable how humans could possibly become light."
From her expression, you could tell, she wanted to say, 'This isn't scientific.'
"Miyu," Shirou's tone was gentle.
"Onii-chan," Miyu's eyes were watery.
"Don't underestimate the mission of the Ultra warriors! I'm deducting your pudding today."
"Eh? Eh!!"
"Noooo, Onii-chan, Miyu loves Ultra warriors the most!", Eyes brimming with tears.
"Illya!"
"Eek?", Illya, who tried to sneak away, was caught by fate's grip on her neck.
Forced to watch another hour, the time approached nearly ten o'clock. The two girls barely held up their heavy eyelids.
"Miyu, Illya."
"Yes! We've been watching the movie seriously!"
Their backs straightened instantly.
Shirou smiled brightly, "I meant, you can eat pudding now."
"Really!"
"Of course."
The sound of opening the fridge came, they were unable to wait. M
"By the way, quick question: what was the name of that Ultraman just now?"
"Uh…", The two beautiful girls' bodies froze.
"Hahaha…", Shirou burst out laughing.
[T/N: I changed 'Nii-chan' to 'Onii-chan' because it SOUNDS better.]
