The cat's tail wiggled left and right watching its prey.

The mouse was scared and run away for its life.

That analogy would have perfectly fit me if not for the fact my body can't move.

"Alice!!!"

"So fwuffy!"

Right now, I'm practically a doll that was hugged around by my former little now big sister and I can't run away.

How did this happen?

Frankly, I have no idea. 

The last time I saw her was when she gave me the nekomimi hat and she looked pretty troubled so I just gave my little now big sister some words of encouragement.

Maybe I missed something?

Well, my memory is pretty bad now so I don't have any confidence, but let's try to remember what happened on that day.

"I" 

"lub" 

"you!"

Her shaking arm wrapped itself around me.

Her grip was not too strong yet it was very firm.

At that time I can feel water or more correctly tears on my back.

"I love you too!"

My arms wrapped themselves around Mizu without any direct command from my mind.

My body knows what I want to do before my mind.

"It's Ok"

"Awice..."

"Iz here..."

"For you"

My arms patted Mizu's soft hair. And at that moment I remember it was very warm.

"I..."

Mizu trembled for a moment before finally releasing the loudest cry she made in this second run of  a game called life.

We stayed like that for some minutes before Mizu fell asleep.

Her dreamy peaceful face was stained with tears and snots. 

I snuggled closer to her and also slept. 

When I woke up.

I saw Lori mama who was ruffling Mizu hair.

The air was warmth contrasting very greatly to her cold stoic face.

But for a reason, my mind kept telling me that she was the source of the warmth.

Funny how I woke up earlier than Mizu. 

Usually, it's the other way around. 

I saw something amazing.

Grandma Lotte was smiling before it was replaced by her seemingly permanent scowl as she watched Lori mama.

Looking back at it, Mizu was acting weird. She didn't even use baby speech either.

Maybe something happened?

Did someone hurt her!?

My ever cheerful and hopeful Mizu that only has her head filled with flowers was brought down to such a state.

Unforgivable!

I'll find out who did this to her even if it takes me years.

Just wait Mizu, they'll get their retribution.

Recalling that piece of memory didn't give any information why Mizu is clinging so hard to me but it gave me a personal vendetta alright...

A ding sound echoed in my head

Ah

Just in time. 

I think I figured out the culprit.

It's your fault, isn't it...

"The fault of who?"

'Einstein!'

My head rotated trying to find the source of the voice.

'Where?'

A pair of arms held my face

"I'm right here!!"

A small version of Shina was in front of my eyes. 

She now has the same height or maybe even smaller than Mizu.

'What happened to you?'

Shina gazed at me. 

Her starry eyes were sucking me into them

Sadly for me, Shina broke away the eye contact. 

A very bright red blush was painting her cheeks.

Her head is lowered. 

She pushes her lower jaw out and sucked in her upper lip.

"A cooking accident"

That revelation brought an unattainable piece of knowledge to the table.

'Angels cook?'

A smell of chocolate waved through my nose.

"Yes we do"

Shina pulled out a heart-shaped box from her comically large left-wing.

The box was decorated with blue ribbons. It also has some kind of lock on it.

With a blue-ish glow, Shina started chanting some kind of language that I never heard before.

"Bjainntsuklosvcyipwwhcyisbvruwonrhifibwlopsbduhvdijnbjoj-"

Seeing the opportunity I joined in too

'Oh, the particles of antimatter. Bless this humble lowly particle with your presence. For all eternity the forgotten have forsaken you. With the emperor on your heel and the crown of tears in your command, I order you! To make me chocolate!'

The chocolate smell intensified vary greatly for a moment.

Something weird also happened. The air became as sweet as chocolate.

It all went back to normal after Shina stopped chanting.

Shina was tilting her head forty-five degrees to the left with wide eyes.

"You're still as surprising as ever!"

"You figured out the chant the love gods use to make chocolate!"

Shina is talking about some nonsensical stuff. 

'There is no way!'

You know what, I am too young for this stuff, I'll wait until I can hold a small stick. Let's look at other things.

"Hey don't ignore me!"

She tapped her foot on the floor.

"Fine then!"

Then a stomp.

"I'll continue chanting by myself!"

And jumping.

"Hmmph!"

Her head turned away from me. The tip of her ear was red

"It's not like I want you to praise me or anything because I actually remembered the six hundred thirty-two pages long incantations for angels hmmph!"

Ignoring the small Shina is far harder than I thought. The urge to pat and feed her was just too strong. 

A distraction saved me and Shina from the seemingly inevitable blushing madness if I proceeded to do that action.

Mizu finally let me go from her hug and held up a cup of chocolate milk gazing at it with sparkly eyes. 

She gulped it all down leaving not a single drop of it behind.

Her face was plastered with a small smile and she yawned.

She slumped her body down with her arms open wide.

Open wide arms plus an Alice in your area we all know what the answer is.

As a result of that natural formula, I am now completely embraced by Mizu.

Shina continued chanting the weird language filled my ears. Strangely it was like a piece of cute music. 

A cute thing doing weird things will always result in it being very cute huh?

It was far too comfy and cute so I turned my head away and pouted.

'I hope Mizu will give the chocolate milk to me to repay for my services hmmph!'

Mizu's ahoge stood straight up.

My field of view becomes a little bit higher testament to the fact that my position is now higher than before.

Shina who was still mumbling that weird language also looked smaller and extremely cute.

The way she looked down at the heart-shaped box while mumbling accompanied by the stardust glittering in the air made her look divinely cute.

Her cheeks became redder than the first time I met her as Alice!

Hnnngggg!

While I was busy fawning over how cute Shina is.

Mizu's rough breathing reached my ears.

Shina stopped chanting and looked at Mizu.

My attention was also shifted from Shina to Mizu.

Her fast and rough breathings echoed in this silent room.

I became extremely worried as I saw how red her face is.

Oh no is she sick!

Let this professional big brother slash doctor help you!

I put my forehead on hers

I felt a flick on my forehead separating me from Mizu.

"Ouch"

Shina pointed her fingers at me

"Were you trying to turn your sister into a tomato?"

'Where the hell did that come from!'

Shina's left hand rested on her chubby left cheek.

Right now she looked like a chibi version of herself.

"But I swear you were trying to do it?"

'Where the hell did that come from?!'

She pointed at Mizu

"Just look. Your big sister is already a tomato"

Shina's blush grew brighter that even the densest isekai protagonist will notice it.

"And you already turned me into a tomato...'

She mumbles something while looking down. 

Curses!

Why can't my hearing be good at this time!

Because I can't hear what Shina said plus I was confused and worried I gazed at Mizu.

Her face is even redder than before!

This is seriously giving me flashbacks to my first meeting with Shina as Alice.

At that time both of us reached an inhumane level of blushing and Shina just recently surpassed it.

Now, it looks like Mizu is going to reach that level too.

Steam has even come out from her head.

"Very wonderful!"

'Wonderful my a##!'

The bell tolled.

Huh...

Wait a minute!

Shina is not time stopping!

"You just realized?"

With a clink, the lock on the box opened.

'What was the point of the chanting if it will just open by itself?'

Shina put her index finger in front of her lips and winked.

"That's~ a~ secret~"

Her response made me want to bury myself in Mizu's arm. 

Dealing with an angry or annoyed Mizu is far better than dealing with this angel.

She stomped her foot and pouted. 

"How mean!"

'I am just stating the truth'

The wind blew as her silver hair fluttered.

An intense smell of chocolate assaulted my nose.

'What's up with chocolate?'

'Why is it in the air today?'

At some point, I swear I can even taste the sweetness just from my nose.

Shina sidled¹walk in a furtive, unobtrusive, or timid manner, especially sideways or obliquely. up to me with her ahoge going left and right

She patted Mizu's left shoulder. 

Blue stardust went inside Mizu.

Mizu started falling towars the bed.

Shina guided Mizu's fall.

Thanks to her I can stay being hugged by Mizu while she's asleep.

I looked up.

Mizu sleeping face was the same when she had just cried her heart out.

'How peaceful~'

Shina the weird angel was doing something weird while I was looking at Mizu.

I can see her wings in the periphery of my vision going in and out and moving in circles?

She brought out a guitar and started playing. 

Glittering stardust rose from the ground and the objects around her.

If I was her I would call this Blooming Stardust Rose, because the shape of the stardust when they stabilized looked like a blooming rose.

Then Shina took her sweet time circling me before whispering in my ear.

"Do you like it? My calming down technique?"

I just nod, definitely not because I'm sulking or anything because I don't have an ahoge or these two not giving me chocolate or she has such a cool power hmmph!

"Aww~ look at you go! You're already number one on the ranking of cutest being in this universe, sadly for you, chocolate is not recommended for humans below two years old and you're not getting an ahoge and you're power is pretty cool!"

That last part made me sulk even more and I refused to look at her.

'Lies!'

'There's no way the almighty chocolate is bad for humans!'

That's one of the reasons but the other one is something my pride won't allow to be insulted.

Does Shina think I'm stupid?

There's still a lot of cuter things than me like Mizu, Mom, Lori Mama-

Some hours later has passed after listings all the names of the people I know in this life.

"You done yet?"

'I'm not!'

I start listings all the anime waifu that has come out or will come out in the future based on my memories as Hayle. 

All of those waifus. 

I had a crush on every single one of them.

Surmise to say, Shina was not amused.

"Very bold of you to say that you like somebody else when you're in front of your lover"

This angel is screwed up in the head!

'But you're not... My lover?'

Shina stood still.

'Shina?'

I pinched her cheek.

'Hello, are you still there?'

In a move that I had not expected.

Shina started licking the chocolate me starting from the legs.

Her tongue licked every part of it until it melted in her mouth.

'Umm... Shina?'

Her eyes were cloudy. 

She bites off the head of the chocolate me.

She grinned from ear to ear looking like she is on cloud nine.

'Shina... You're scaring me'

I don't like this. 

Why is Shina being weird? 

I closed my eyes.

Tears ran through my face with some getting into my mouth.

My tears tasted delicious, to say the least. It also helped to alleviate my worries.

As my tongue tried to find more of my tears.

The door creaked

"That's enough"

A loud whack echoed throughout the room.

"Ahh!"

I opened my eyes to find something weird.

Shina was tied up in a rope, her mouth plastered with a tape and her eyes wrapped in a blindfold.

'Huh, how did that happen?'

A finger wiped the last tear that came out from my eyes.

A normal-sized Shina was here.

'Huh?'

Shina hugged me.

"Thank god, you're okay I thought the brat was gonna do some of my most depraved fantas- I mean did something weird to you"

A bright flash blinded my eyes.

"Pretty rude to call your daughter a brat"

"But you are!"

Daughter?

When I regained my vision, the little Shina was already doing a perfect bow towards me.

"This is the first time we meet"

"Nice to meet you, I'm Alina."

She flashed me a smile befitting of an angel.

"My~ cute~ mama!"

'Mama?!'
