Just as Flandre expected, although Remilia had suffered social death, her resistance to it was surprisingly strong.
Maybe because Ren often recorded her embarrassing monts, Remilia had gotten used to it. Even letting others know her weird sides didn't faze her much anymore—she even felt like, oh, that's all?
So things really are terrifying once you get used to them.
Today, Ophis was working at the shop as usual. Natsuki had her own work, and Veldiana was thrown over to assist Ophis, helping handle the store's operations.
She always despised how Ren treated Ophis like a shop employee.
So now that she finally had soone to send over, she naturally chose Veldiana.
Veldiana didn't want to go, but Natsuki's one sentence shut her up completely.
'If you get along with her, you might gain huge benefits at the Blazing Banquet.'
This little girl is really that powerful?
She didn't think Natsuki was lying. Even she could tell the people around the Witch of the Void were all extraordinary… That vampire who hadn't even used her familiar was enough to terrify her.
Thus Veldiana ended up by Ophis' side.
As for whether Ophis would help her… at most, she'd probably just give her a few snakes to play with…
anwhile, Flandre had dragged Remilia outside, saying she wanted to take Avrora to buy clothes. But—
"Uuuh… Flandre, did you forget we're most afraid of sunlight?"
"If Big Brother were here, it definitely wouldn't be a problem…"
Remilia looked like she'd given up on life, while Flandre also looked miserable.
Neither had beco a primogenitor yet, so they had quite a grudge against the sun.
Though Remila could block it with red mist, she'd probably be hung upside down by Natsuki with the Leading afterward. Better not use that for a simple shopping trip.
Unlike the two vampires, Avrora—who was wearing tight clothing—looked around restlessly. Seeing the towering buildings and cars rushing by, she let out exclamations of awe.
She had awakened yesterday, but she hadn't had any chance to see Itogami Island.
She had stayed inside the shop the entire day.
"Seriously, is this scenery really worth that level of reaction?"
"Sister…"
"Um… well, it's nice. At least compared to Gensokyo."
Suddenly being stared at by Flandre, Remilia's cheeks turned red.
It was true—when she first saw the modern scenery of Itogami Island, she had been shocked too.
She just didn't show it because of the sunlight.
But at night, Remilia had been extrely excited. So was Flandre.
"Hehehe… just as Big Brother said, if you remove the tsun from tsundere, only dere is left. Flandre wants Sister to act spoiled too. That way, Flandre will feel like the older sister…"
Flandre muttered while eyeing Remilia.
She loved teasing her sister, but more than that, she didn't want Remi to keep acting tsundere. Ren had joked before that if a tsundere stops being contradictory, she's no longer tsundere.
But Flandre genuinely wanted her sister to be honest with herself.
Though to Ren, Flandre simply wanted to taste her sister's affectionate behavior.
"Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!"
Avrora's excited cry suddenly made both Remilia and Flandre look her way. She was staring at a glass display filled with colorful ice cream.
On an island with sumr-like weather year-round, ice cream was indispensable.
"Uu… Big Brother said we can't eat ice cream early in the morning…"
Flandre rushed forward with a serious expression.
But Remilia shrugged, bought several, and handed one to Flandre.
"Want one?"
"Flandre wants to eat!"
Remilia: "…"
Ren's warning? Did you throw it into so dust-covered corner already?
"M- too…"
Seeing Avrora's longing gaze, Remilia sighed and handed her one.
Avrora imdiately began eating. At the mont the flavor burst on her tongue, her already large sapphire eyes widened to their limits.
"It is like the fruit of paradise!"
"…What kind of comparison is that? Don't tell you've actually eaten—"
Remilia twitched her lips. Avrora's wording was always weird.
"No, but… as expected of my friend. I shall praise you."
Avrora nodded solemnly and held up a thumbs-up to Remilia.
"…I really don't want you praising over sothing like this."
Remilia held her forehead. Whether from embarrassnt or helplessness, her expression was complicated.
To her, taking Avrora out was basically like babysitting.
Honestly, she felt Avrora's ntal age wasn't much different from Flandre's.
"Wait… I think Ren said he wanted Flandre to go to school…"
Remilia suddenly rembered Ren bringing it up before.
By the way, Remilia's way of calling him was strange. She didn't deny the title master, but she wouldn't use it when she was upset—like now, right after suffering social death.
In that mont, Remilia seed to understand sothing, and she glanced at Avrora aningfully.
"So that man planned for Avrora to accompany Flandre to school from the start?"
He had even wanted Remilia to take Flandre to school, though she refused no matter what.
But Ren was clearly serious about Flandre attending school.
So he had already planned for Avrora to go together?
"That man… really thinks far ahead."
Looking at Flandre and Avrora happily playing, Remilia pouted.
So now she had no excuse to devour this woman's familiar?
