[Nekomiya Residence]

Nia ended up staying over at Nekomiya's residence. As for the change of clothes, Mikoto quickly adjusted her old clothes to fit Nia's body size.

Of course... adjusted to her personal taste.

"Nia-chan, you looked cute." Riku complimented.

"Hauuuu~ ////" Hearing Riku called her cute, Nia's face reddened.

In the side, Rimu stared at her brother with dead-fish eyes. How could he thoughtlessly say that kind of cheesy line in an instant? Once again, she was reminded that Riku had the talent to be a playboy.

Riku who sensed Rimu's stare: 'Did I say something wrong? Why are you glaring at me with that expression?'

He somehow felt wronged, but in order to change the awkward atmosphere, he decided to let it slide. He then said.

"Kuhum... By the way Nia-chan, you can use my bed tonight. I will sleep in the sofa downstairs." says Riku.

"Eh? Riku-kun's bed...?" Nia murmured. She couldn't help but daydream.

That's Riku's bed himself he is talking about.

This means, it was used to sleep by Riku everyday. Surely it's full of his scent and warmth. For her, this bed is equivalent to a gold-framed superior king-size imperial bed.

She was certain that if she sleeps on it, she could feel Riku's entire existence in her dreams. It will be the most relaxing sleep she can get.

Riku himself thinks this is a viable solution for the current problem. Currently, there are no guest room ready for Nia to sleep, all of it had been transformed into Seigo's small laboratory. But to use their parent's bedroom, it somehow doesn't feel right. However, his opinion denied by someone he didn't expect.

"What?! No, you can't!" Rimu protested.

"Huh? But there is no room left for Nia-chan to sleep. Or perhaps do you intend to let Nia sleep on the sofa?" Riku argued.

Rimu disagrees with his words was unforeseen for Riku.

Isn't Nia her best friend? She can't be that sinister to let her sleep in the sofa, can she?

If she really does, then that's quite problematic. This could be a source of discord in her friendship with Nia if handled poorly. It's been a while since he speaks in a harsh tone. But as her brother, he must fix her selfishness and set her to the right path!

"I didn't mean that... But did you forgot our unwritten rule?
If you sleep on the sofa, then I too will sleep there!" Rimu puffed her cheek.

Her words shocked Riku greatly. He didn't think Rimu would bring that up again, but not for her advantage. Up until now, she always one-sidedly take advantage of it for her maximum benefit.

If one side got something, other side must got the same thing (or same value).

This [something] is not limited to material things!

If one side is happy, then he or she obliged to share it with the other side. And sequentially, if one side suffer, share it too with the other side. Both happiness and suffering, we face it together!

Riku was silent for a moment, 'It seems I misunderstand her! To think she was so considerate with me... I'm sorry Rimu.'

Meanwhile in Rimu's mind, she actually didn't think that much. It's just that she thinks it was a perfect chance to raise Riku's favorability score towards her, so she can leech him off later on after he successfully became CEO!

Nia didn't know what the twins are talking about. She could only understand they were arguing which one would sleep on the sofa. Although sleeping in Riku's bed is really tempting for her, Rimu's bed is also not a bad choice...

'No No No! This is not the time to think about that, both of them are fighting!'

She panicked. Both of the twins are important to her, to see them fighting each other really pains her heart. This can't continue, she had to stop their fighting and make them reconcile!

"Yamete... Please stop fighting over me..." Nia screamed.

"Hah?" (x2)  Both Riku and Rimu dumbfounded.

"Eh? What?" Nia also dumbfounded.

The atmosphere become awkward.

♠♠♠

 

Nia uses her hand to hide her face. She couldn't help but wanted to dig a hole and bury herself. Her face must be red right now, she didn't even need to look into a mirror.

"Erm, I think you misunderstand something, Nia-chan... We didn't really fight." Riku consoles her.

"Puhahaha... [Please stop fighting over me], huh? I didn't think I would hear that words in the real life!" Rimu laughed.

STAB! -1000

"Rimu, that's rude, you know? To laugh over that... Pffftt..." Riku desperately hold his laughter back.

"But you also laugh too... Riku is also bad... hahaha..." Rimu still laughed.

STAB!! -1000

Mou, Yamete!! My LP is already zero!

These Nekomiya siblings is really terrible, especially Rimu. This loli continues to poking on her sore spot over and over. Nia wants to cry but unable to shed tears.

Rimu who had satisfied laughing, stabilizing her breath before walking towards their bed.

"Then, let's do this... Riku, can you undo that lock? I will undo this one." Rimu pointed at a certain part in the bunk bed.

"This one?" Riku walked towards the place Rimu pointed to.

"No, it's above that... Yes, that's it! Be careful with your hands." Rimu warned.

With the twins undoing the lock that binds the bunk bed structure frame, now the bed pillar started to bend. A few moments later, the top bed go down and become side by side in parallel with the bottom one.

It seems, the bunk bed originally were a single bed, but could be folded into 2 parts, top and bottom. Rimu removed the bed rails and now the bunk bed has transformed into one large bed.

This revelation surprises Riku. He didn't know their bed has such a function until now. How did Rimu figure it out?

"Now we can sleep together. How is it? Am I awesome?" Rimu smiled with a proud face.

"Yeah, yeah... You deserved a pat." Riku patted Rimu's head.

"Hehehe... Yes, praise me more!"

Nia recovered from self-loathing after looking at the bed. She quietly mumbled to herself, "...sleeping together..."

This development unexpectedly moved towards her favor. Now she didn't need to chose between two choices. Between Riku and Rimu, she can have both!

But firstly...

"Hehehe, Rimu-chan... You did kept making fun of me earlier, didn't you?" Nia secretly let out a creepy smile.

She decided to herself, as revenge she must cuddle her with all of her strength!
