>>5754525When the song ends, she looks just as tired and sweaty as Hikari, but your sister still manages to crawl over the short girl to reach your side. Her face de ella is red as a tomato and she can't help but gasp, but that doesn't stop her from grinning from ear to ear. "H-how was t-that, O-onii-sama?"
You can't help but stroke her head, laughing. "Beautiful, Suzu-chan. You were beautiful."
Your sister seems pleased with your answer, before dropping her head into your lap, worn out.
Masuyo lets out a laugh when she sees her friend faint. On the other hand, Rei seems touched by the scene, unable to contain an "Awww".
As Suzuko and Hikari try to recover, you hear someone knocking on the door.
When Masuyo gets up to open it, it is revealed that is one of the attendants, carrying a tray with a bottle of water, a bottle of juice, and some sweets.
The girl in pink happily accepts the food, leaving it on the table while you try to wake up Hikari and Suzuko.
The two girls are soon sitting side by side drinking glasses of juice like two babies sucking feeding bottle, both with vacant stares and peaceful expressions on their faces.
While the girls drink, you try to make conversation with Rei and Masuyo.
"I have to thank you again for taking care of my sister. She never told me anything about her life at school." You thank them again.
Masuyo and Rei nod, with the latter avoiding your gaze. "You don't have to, she's our friend. We were surprised when she told us that you would come with us, she doesn't talk much about her life at home neither." Masuyo respond.
"It's good to know that she has such kind classmates." You declare, before turning your attention to Rei, who is trying to shrink down from where she is sitting. "I don't bother you, do I?"
"O-oh no no! It's n-not that, it's just…" The tall girl seems to be struggling to find the right words.
"She's not good at talking to boys." Masuyo explains, eating cookies while she passes another to Rei.
The girl nods, accepting the food. "Y-yeah, that."
You nod, understanding the dilemma. Some people just can't talk to strangers, they need time and safety to open up. That doesn't stop you from trying, however. "Then don't think about me like a boy, think I'm an older siblings, like you."
That seems to work to your surprise, when Rei brushes her hair aside and looks into your eyes. "May I ask... What was Suzuko-san like when she was younger?" The question seems to gain Masuyo's interest as well.
You smile at the naked interest on the girls' faces. "She was much more shy, she was always studying at home, reading o waching TV, she didn't go out much, but when we have to go out to buy food or something, she would make a list with everything we were going to do and would start to get dressed and organize her things as if we were we were going on a trip for days."
