"Mbffhmph.... Mhbbwhh..... Mhnbbh!!"

With throbbing red ears, and a nose that looks like a clown. Endou was stuck in a seiza position. He tried to talk to Misaki, but his mouth was clamped so it only made a strange sound. But from his expression he was clearly apologizing.

It's been 30 minutes since Misaki punished Endou. As punishment for peeking her, she had pulled his ears until they were throbbing, then after that she pinched his nose until it was bright red, and now she was pinching his mouth because it was too loud.

"Dare to peek at me while taking a bath. Doesn't Endou-san have guts?"

In front of him, Misaki with a smile and a dark face looked very angry. Her empty eyes looked scary to Endou.

"Mfbhpff!!"

Endou tried to defend himself. Yet with his mouth clamped, he only made himself look ridiculous.

"Okay, explain yourself now."

Misaki finally let go of her grip and Endou's mouth was free. He felt a little sore there, but he didn't really mind it as he hastily apologized.

"I'm sorry Misaki! I really didn't mean to, I thought no one was in the bathroom!"

He said as he changed his position to dogeza and his forehead touched the floor. His legs had gone numb, so he purposely changed his position to dogeza. He felt a little free after doing that.

"Hmph. because of you I can barely get married, you know."

"At least don't think my eyes are so dirty like they can stain your body."

Endou complained as he peeked into Misaki's face, and saw if she was still angry or not. HHer face wasn't as cold as before, but it still looked scary so he hastily lowered his head again.

"So you understand how bad your eyes are, huh."

"I didn't mean what I said earlier, hey!"

He shouted as he stood up straight. He couldn't accept Misaki's words and wanted to defend himself, but his guts shrunk again when he looked into Misaki's cold eyes which canceled his intentions. In the end, he sat back down with his legs folded back (seiza).

"S-Sorry. B-But if you can't get married because of this, then I'll take responsible- -AHH! my eyes!!"

Before Endou had finished speaking, Misaki poked his eye.

"Say that in your dream."

Misaki said with a sullen tone. She was still angry at Endou.

But it seems that she also went a little too far by punishing him like this. Misaki also knew that he didn't mean to peeking, because if the bathroom downstairs hadn't been broken, Endou wouldn't have come up here. If only he knew that there was an unwritten rule here, where if the door was open it meant no one was there and if the door was closed it meant there were people, then he wouldn't have opened the door carelessly either. Misaki was also slightly wrong here for never explaining it to Endou, but didn't want to admit it.

I think it's time to forgive him.

"Okay, I'll forgive you. Next time don't do it again."

She said with a sigh as she softened her expression.

"R-Really?"

Endou was still wiping his watery eyes from being poked.

"Yeah. It's also Onii-chan's fault for not explaining anything to you."

She replied with a slight smile.

Misaki blamed Kazuto entirely.

"Does it hurt?"

"N-No, I was just almost blind earlier."

Seeing Misaki suddenly being nice made him doubt whether she really forgave him or not.

"Hmm, I think all seems well."

Misaki said while examining his face. She rubbed his nose and ears gently so that the pain would go away from her pulling and pinching him. She felt a little sorry for having to clean up the mess she made herself.

The gentle scent of tea after Misaki took a bath made Endou a little bewitched.

"Uhh, really. Can I take responsible and you be my bride?

At that question, Misaki flicked his forehead.

"Hmm, I'll think if you can be my ideal boyfriend."

At his words, Misaki grinned widely. Endou didn't know if she said it as a joke or not.

He didn't expect Misaki to answer him in that way.

"That's a joke, isn't it?"

"Ofcourse. What kind of question do you ask to a 12-year-old girl."

Misaki flicked his forehead again, and looked at him with knitted brows. For a question that is clearly very absurd. At least, someone would ask about dating first before that. She also has no interest in having that kind of relationship as an ex-boy.

"Ah, I see...."

Endou was a little disappointed as he rubbed his forehead, but he had guessed it.

"Anyway, don't tell Onii-chan about this incident. He might get mad at you if he finds out you peeked at me even if it just accident."

"No, there's no way I'm going to tell him this. If he finds out, then it won't end with him torturing me."

Just thinking about it already made Endou in a cold sweat. He didn't know how angry Kazuto would be if he found out about this.

"Stand up. I've stopped punishing you."

"Thank you."

Ahh, finally I can be free from hell. Endou thought with relief.

He stood wobbly as his legs were numb from sitting on the hard bare floor. But because he hastily stood up, his balance was broken and he fell forward.

“W-Wait! What the—”

Misaki who was standing in front of him never expected him to fall too, then fell with him backwards.

"Kya!"

"Ouch!"

With a 'bruk' sound, they fell together.

"Aw.... Are you okay Misaki?"

"No. I feel like I'm going to die because you're on top of me!"

Endou finally realized that they were in an awkward position where he was on top of Misaki, and froze at this.

Blush....*

Endou's face turned red because this position was quite embarrassing. Moreover, the smell of Misaki after bathing was very strong because she was too close to him.

(Damn, Endou really use all his luck here)

"Ano....can you get out of the way now?"

But Misaki seemed oblivious as she kept asking him to get out of the way.

"U-Um, I-I didn't mean to—"

"Hooh, so this is the reason you've been upstairs too long."

Just as he was about to make an excuse, a voice filled with killing intent came from the stairs and cut him off mid-sentence. At there, Kazuto stood staring at him with a smile that seemed to be filled with anger.

"What did you do to my sister?"

Kazuto asked as he clenched his fists. The creaking sound of bones came out from his fingers was enough to frighten him.

"K-Kazuto, I didn't mean to peek at your sister earlier! It's an accident!"

He said as he hurriedly stood up.

"Hoo, so not only did you intend to attack my sister, you also peeked at her, huh. Really you need to be properly punished."

Endou covered his exaggerated mouth. He was too panicked to explain and instead told things he shouldn't have done.

Ah, I'm dead. Endou thought, who saw Kazuto came slowly and created terror on him.

Misaki's punishment was only limited to the entrance area of hell, but if it was Kazuto, then he would be taken to the deepest part of hell itself.

"Really, I'm sorry Kazuto. I didn't do it on purpose!"

"The matter of forgiving you is God's business."

Kazuto said who had arrived in front of him.

Hearing those words gave Endou a glimmer of hope.

"Y-Yes, that's true. Then you must forgive me too, right?"

But that hope was dashed upon hearing the next sentence.

"Yeah, that's true. But taking you to God's side is my business."

Kazuto's clenched fists were ready to be launched, adding to Endou's sense of desperation.

Meanwhile, Misaki who was looking at the two of them from side to side couldn't help but sigh. Somehow she felt she had guessed this had already happened.

Endou looked at her with eyes asking for help. But Misaki could only whisper "Good luck" to him. She couldn't help it at the moment. On the other hand, it was his fault for having spoken it by himself. Your mouth, your Tiger.

Endou in the end could only give up.

"Goodbye world..."

He muttered as Kazuto's hand approached his face at the speed of light.

(Nah, as I said, he really use all his luck there)

---

"Sob..... Why am I so unlucky today..."

With a battered face and disheveled body, Endou complained to the world.

Starting from being humiliated by a cat, punished by Misaki, then being tortured by Kazuto. The weekend he thought would be fun turned into hell for him. Even though he came here with the intention of playing games and having fun. And now he has to help make dinner.

"Well, it's your own fault for saying that."

Beside him, Misaki was making short cuts at the bottom of the shrimp. She is in the process of making ebi furai for their dinner menu. As usual, she looked cute when she wore an apron and tied her hair in a ponytail.

"Your brother is so merciless. I feel almost killed by him every time, you know."

Endou complained to Misaki. Even so, his body was strong enough to become a bag of his fists.

Misaki couldn't help but laugh at Endou's misfortune.

"Then stop teasing him too much."

"No, being funny to you two is ingrained in me."

Endou firmly refused.

Hearing that made Misaki laugh once again.

"Ha ha ha..."

"Well, that's what made me and Onii-chan friends with you."

Misaki said while reminiscing about the past.

Endou was his first friend. Since his appearance in her life, at least her daily life has become more colorful. He was an irreplaceable person and became one of the most precious people to her.

Well, sometimes the jokes are annoying. She thought as she recalled his jokes that were too flat or of no use at all.

"Thank you for always being with me...."

She muttered in a low voice.

"What? Can you say it again?"

"I said cut the vegetables over there, please. There's no need to wash them because I already did."

Ask Misaki to cover up her previous words.

"Well..."

Endou looked at her with a confused face as he felt she uttered a different sentence.

But that thought was immediately diverted when he picked up the kitchen knife with a doubtful look. He had never done anything like this before because it was his servants who made him dinner or breakfast.

"If you're not sure you can do it just leave it there. I'll do it myself later."

said Misaki who glanced at him.

The one who actually suggested to Kazuto to be punished helped her make dinner is her also, so that Endou could get free faster. Otherwise, maybe Endou was really in his coffin by now. But on second thought, it seemed like a bad idea to also ask him to help her with the kitchen since Endou had absolutely no experience here.

"No I will do my job, after all this is my punishment, right?"

Endou refused as he started to cut the Vegetables.

"But...."

Misaki was about to stop him because the way he cut seemed wrong, but he was a few milliseconds too late.

"Ugh... My finger.."

Endou accidentally sliced his finger with a kitchen knife while cutting vegetables. Now his finger is bleeding from the wound.

"Mou...I told you not to do it if you weren't sure, didn't I? Now look at you."

Misaki came up to him with a sullen face and held his arm to see the wound he had caused.

"Not very deep...."

Misaki heaved a sigh of relief seeing him.

"If you can't then don't push yourself. You can only make other people worry."

Misaki said with a sullen tone.

"Sorry for that. But at least there's a pretty princess who's worried about me."

Endou replied with a witty smile. But that expression changed instantly as Misaki pressed on the wound.

"O-Ouch! That hurts!"

"Still trying to make jokes again?"

Misaki asked with a straight face. She was actually worried but preferred to hide it. After all, Endou would continue to tease her if he knew that.

"No, no. I'm sorry."

Misaki took it off after that and helped Endou treat his wound.

"Next time don't be so careless."

Misaki said after she finished treating him.

"Understand."

The process of making dinner continued after that with Endou's help. But because he was even more reckless than Kazuto, his cooking speed decreased slightly. But they managed to make it right until dinner time.

---

They had dinner together afterwards at the dining table.

"Yum... Yum.. Yum.."

Of course with Natsu who also sat there with a higher chair.

Once again Endou felt strange about his existence as an animal. On the other hand, there was still a murderous aura around Kazuto who was staring at Endou intensely.

"Enough Onii-chan. I told you he didn't mean to, didn't I? Just leave it."

Kazuto's brows furrowed even more at his sister's forgiving words. But after thinking for a moment and then taking a deep breath, he finally agreed.

"Yeah. Alright. I've had enough of beating him anyway."

"Finally!"

Endou's face lit up after hearing that. He gave Misaki a thumbs up as a sign of good work, and Misaki who saw him replied with the same way while smiling slightly.

They had a better dinner after Kazuto stopped making killing looks at Endou.

"Oh, yeah. Misaki"

"Hmm? What???"

Misaki looked at Endou who looked like he wanted to ask a question.

"What type of ideal boyfriend do you want?"

Kazuto's ears trembled slightly at Endou's question. He seemed curious too.

"Oh my... That again? Didn't I say that as a joke?"

"I just want to know."

"Uhh... Let me think about it for a second."

Misaki actually didn't think much of it because she felt she wouldn't have a closer relationship other than as friends.

"I guess.... Kind and gentle person?"

"Isn't that too common?"

"I'm not done yet, there's more."

"Then what is it?"

"Not an idiot..."

Gahk!

The words just now pierced Endou for some reason.

"Not easily angered..."

Kahh!

Kazuto had the same expression as Endou as his head was slightly lowered.

"Reliable, able to solve any situation, not grumpy, not idiot, not tempered, and not idiot either."

Ting....

The two of them lowered their heads as the illusory spear had pierced their bodies.

"Do you have to sneer with words like that?"

asked Endou whose heart felt like it was being stabbed repeatedly.

Obviously the words she spoke were referring to them. Misaki did tease them for it and giggled.

"Am I that obvious? Well, you won't get a girlfriend anyway if the traits I mentioned can't be reduced. Even if you did, they would at least stop and turn away after they're fed up with your personalities."

"Especially for you Onii-chan. Don't be too easily tempted to get angry at Endou."

Misaki pointed at Kazuto and warned him.

Endou laughed at that because it was clear that Kazuto couldn't go against Misaki's words. His heart felt better.

Misaki herself looked directly at him and frowned.

"You too Endou, don't tease Onii-chan too much and take his temper, understand? He'll obviously get angry if he's constantly bullied."

"Sure...."

His expression wilted after the warning. He thought he was being defended by Misaki but she wasn't and got the same warning from her.

"But I only did it to Endou for fun."

Kazuto replied.

"Wait. So you're saying you're taking your anger out on me as a sign of pleasure? Man, I really want to hit you, may I do that?"

Endou asked with clenched fists.

At that provocation, Kazuto made a smirk.

"Do it if you can, I'll be looking forward to it."

"No thanks. I still love my life."

Endou immediately answered while giving up and lowered his arm. He felt that he was the one Kazuto would blow away if he tried to touch him.

"You guys......"

Misaki sighed at their behavior. She gave up because their attitude didn't change even after she warned them.

"And what the hell is that, Misaki. Able to solve any situation? Do you want to date a detective or something?"

Haa... Why is he so serious about what I said. Misaki thought to herself. Even though that just put out what her mind said.

But even though she said that, what she mentioned earlier actually took from the nature of a certain person she had known in the past.

Come to think of it, he's my age as Misaki, so in the future we'll definitely meet as classmates. She said to herself as she think about that person.

Even though he looks like a cold person, he is actually a kind and good person. He only has a dark past so he looks like that.

Come to think of it, what was my junior doing? Well, we'll only be able to meet 3 years later, so can only be friends with him at that point.

"Hey, Misaki. Answer my question. Hey."

Ignoring Endou who continues to be curious, Misaki still doesn't care about him and continues to remember the past.

The dinner continued with the noisy Endou. But, at least with that their house is busy again.

---

Wuuu...Wuuu....Wuuuuuu.....

The sound of police sirens echoed through the city on a silent night. The sound carries a certain meaning in people's lives. For example, to chase criminals, or to signal that a crime has occurred.

People who lived or to pass by were curious as to what was going on, and the police made a line so that civilians could not pass through. On one side, an ambulance came in and carried a stretcher to carry the wrapped corpse.

And in the middle of it all.

"Sigh....Too late."

A boy was standing there. From his height, he was clearly only 12 years old and was definitely striking for his age apart from his unusual white hair. His violet eyes looked the area around him, and for a moment they somehow turned into a ruby color. No one noticed it happened because it was too soon, but it was clearly very abnormal for someone to suddenly change the color of their eyes.

"The culprit isn't here..."

He muttered as he gazed at the crowd.

On the other hand, even though he was a child, he was strangely allowed to enter the boundary line. Even though there were policemen who saw him enter, they seemed unconcerned and seemed to have gotten used to his presence.

"Sigh, it's cold."

Even though it's summer, and the temperature at night is cooler than during the day, it's still hot because the usual average temperature at night is 24 degrees Celsius. The temperature is enough to make you not sleep well even wearing light clothes. Even so, he was strangely blowing cold dew from his mouth as like he lived in a snowy area.

"In the end, it's too hard to change the future, huh."

The boy's mumble was blown by the night breeze.

No one heard the words he spoke earlier. Only the noise and police sirens continued to echo there.

"But I will make sure to change the bad future as much as I can."

With that last sentence, the silent night in certain corners of the city continued.
