It was a Saturday morning, but it wasn't the usual morning where I would wake up late and have my breakfast when normal people were having their lunch.
With ssy hair, sticking out like a fluff ball, I rubbed my eyes, as I walked towards the bedroom door. I could hear Nee-chan and Lilith talking with each other. It sounded like they were laughing among themselves.
I casually walked into the kitchen and noticed Nee-chan preparing sothing delicious as the aroma of the food was great. Lilith was sitting on the chair, as she glanced towards and said, "You're finally awake?"
"Oh… the sleeping beauty is up?" Nee-chan turned her head towards and said sarcastically.
"Good Morning." I greeted her, took my seat next to Lilith. I also noticed that she was wearing her light blue t-shirt which she bought last month.
Turning her head completely towards , she rested her hands on her waist and with a roll of her eyes, she said, "Don't you feel any sha to greet people with a good morning in the afternoon?"
"Not at all." I said without any hesitation whatsoever.
Looking at the pressure cooker on the stove, I asked her, "What are you cooking?"
It's been a long ti since I've eaten sothing cooked by Nee-chan. I rember when we used to be kids, she was learning how to cook at that ti so she would always make new dishes and I would be her subject to try them out. Though she cooks really well.
"Breakfast." She said sarcastically, but I knew that she was actually cooking the lunch as I could see the rice cooker too.
"Haha, very funny!" I said mockingly as she just chuckled and got back to cooking. After observing her last day, I could tell that Lilith and Nee-chan were quite compatible with each other. Maybe that was because of the personality that Lilith was faking.
I glanced over to Lilith who was observing our conversation in silence as from Nee-chan's perspective she was just a neighbour so it wasn't her place to speak or make comnts.
If Nee-chan sees how and Lilith actually interact then I'm pretty sure she'll get the wrong idea and would easily look through our facade. Opening my mouth, a frown appeared on my face and I said, "Lilith-san, how long are you gonna stay here?"
"Wha…" Lilith looked at with a confused look, as Nee-chan instantly turned back and said with a sharp tone, "Sai! That's rude!"
Lilith chuckled as she lightly waved her left hand in front of her and said, "Oh no it's alright… I understand."
With an embarrassed smile on her face, Nee-chan glared at with her side glance as she said, "Don't get him wrong, he is just rude sotis."
"I can tell." Lilith gave her a small nod and glanced at for an instant.
Last night I had a conversation with Lilith. Of course, since she and Nee-chan slept in my bedroom, I slept on the couch and we communicated through our minds as usual.
As I heard from Lilith, she told Nee-chan a whole story about her being my neighbour and there being so electrical fault in her apartnt so she ca to stay with for so ti at first.
I asked her how she would explain about the clothes but actually handled that pretty well too. She told Nee-chan that she didn't have plans to stay for long but since the repair was taking a long ti, she took so of her clothes and ca over.
It was a legible story, but only if we go by her words. The way and Lilith were acting, it was pretty natural to consider us real neighbours.
There were monts when Nee-chan actually tried to make Lilith say sothing about but Lilith wasn't dumb, after all she is a devil. But the fact that Nee-chan is actually talking with a devil without being aware of it is a bit concerning for .
"Sai!" Hearing Nee-chan's voice, I glanced at her as she was holding a spoon in her hand and was walking towards .
"Hmm?"
"Tell how it is?" She said pointing towards the spoon from which hot steam was rising and a wonderful sll of oregano was radiating.
"It must be good since you made it." I said with a shrug as she held the spoon near my mouth and I took a sip of the soup, "Of course… still you have to taste it."
With the warm soup spreading across my taste buds, I looked at Nee-chan as she gave a bright smile. I showed her the thumbs up gesture and walked back with the spatula in her hand.
Lilith rested her chin on her hand and glanced at Nee-chan as she asked, "By the way, you're only over the weekend?"
Nee-chan looked up diagonally and then answered after so ti, "Yeah… sadly my classes will start from Monday so I can't stay for much."
Lilith chuckled as she raised her hands in the air and with an excited tone, she said, "Oh… lucky since I don't have classes next week…. Yayyy!!!"
Looking at Lilith's innocent delight, Nee-chan couldn't help but sigh as she reminisced about her school days too, "Man… I miss my high school days…"
Lilith tilted her head at Nee-chan's statent and asked curiously, "But isn't University more fun?"
Lilith was such a great actor that I was looking at her in shock. My mouth was wide open as I was gawking at her. She gave a sharp look in return and averted my eyes, gulping hard.
"It is… but it's also more responsibilities." Nee-chan said as she put the dish on simr and walked towards us.
"Well… can't argue since I don't know." Lilith shrugged with a little chuckle and her composure was so convincing that it really felt like she was a high school student.
Eating with Nee-chan on the sa table was sothing I don't get to experience anymore since I left my house and she moved over to the University dorm.
"By the way, Sakamaki-kun seems really… you know, distant…" Lilith suddenly asked Nee-chan as they were talking about sothing casual.
"Uhh… why did you think that?" Nee-chan was taken aback by her sudden question as she took a small pause and looked at Lilith in confusion.
Lilith glanced at as if her scarlet eyes were indeed looking through and said, "I don't know… he seems like he is a lot more than he shows, he has a lot in his mind then what he says, his eyes observe a lot more than it seems."
As Lilith finished saying that, Nee-chan looked at her hesitantly and with an awkward smile she said, "Well… it's actually our family matter…"
Lilith instantly bowed down and in a soft tone, she apologized, "Oh I'm really sorry… I shouldn't have…"
"No it's alright… you didn't know." Nee-chan just flicked her hand with a smile, and Lilith again bowed, "Sorry for my inconsideration."
Nee-chan opened her mouth to say sothing but then she stopped mid way as her hazel eyes shifted towards , and with a cheeky smirk she said, "Well… it's because… you can ask him… you know."
"Eh?" I looked at her in confusion, as she continued with a casual tone, "It's your problem… if you don't have a problem then you should share with her."
After thinking about it for so ti, and staying quiet, I took a deep sigh and said, "I don't actually have a problem but it's awkward… you know?"
Lilith leaned towards , and with a smug she asked, "Oho? What is it?"
"It's not sothing interesting you know." I said in a plain tone as and stretched my arms backwards.
Lilith's lips curved into a smile as her eyes narrowed at and she said, "Well by your reaction, it seems quite interesting."
Noticing Nee-chan glancing at us with a smile on her face, she looked at and said in a cheerful tone, "Yeah tell her, Sai!"
I looked at her for so ti, and narrowed my eyes at her before saying,"Nee-chan… tell sothing?"
"Hmm?"
"By so reason, I hope you aren't actually shipping us."
"Wha… pfftttt… not at all!" She instantly shook her hands, as I knew she was indeed doing that, as I said, "You definitely were."
Though one thing was weird that Nee-chan didn't ask about Lilith's unique appearance. Her silver hairs paired with her crimson eyes were indeed a rare combination, but didn't seem to faze Nee-chan.
Hearing those laughs, and sowhat it felt like Lilith was also enjoying talking with soone else besides . And sowhere in her eyes, it felt like she was really relieved and her smiles were quite genuine.
Also listening to their conversation it felt like Nee-chan would leave tomorrow morning. I ate lunch, I an my breakfast with them and we talked a lot. It was actually quite enjoyable in the least.
