Coming out from the bath with Belfast, I teleported to my room and change into my casual clothes which consist of navy shirt and black shorts. The image of Belfast bathing me in the hot spring was still vivid on my mind and it would be hard for me to forget, seeing how beautiful she was while smiling to me.(Img<<<)
I went to the kitchen to make dinner when I found Belfast making already the preparations. The vegetable ingredients are alive in this world and they jumping nonstop inside their container. She was having a hard time catching the potato which escaped from her hand and the usual calm and elegant demeanor of her turned into frustration as she swung the knife around at the potato.
"Stop moving around!"
Unable to stop myself from giggling while watching her suffer in annoyance, I went to offer her some help.
"Need my help? Pffft~"
"Haru-sama, it's not funny! What is wrong with these weird vegetables?! Its hard to prepare them up!" she adorably complained while being embarrassed.
"Okay, okay. Let me show you how it is done properly."
I took off my blindfold, showing my glowing six eyes which she was amaze when she saw it close. At a simple hand-sign in my right arm, all the jumping vegetables in the bucket and trays got peeled and thinly sliced in an instant which surprised Belfast.
"Dismantle."
She was speechless seeing the ingredients prepared quickly using my cursed technique then she pouted and pinched me in my cheek.
"I thought you will teach me how to do it properly! You're such a cheater, Haru-sama!"
"Belfast, don't say it out loud. Everyone might misunderstood me." I tried to calm her down.
After leaving the cooking procedure to her, I went out of the house to visit the Crimson Demon Village. I was about to cast a long distance teleportation when Yunyun and Megumin came running to me.
"What are you girls doing? It's cold outside!" I scolded them.
"I would like to ask where are you going at this hour?!" Megumin looks like she was suspecting with something and I didn't want to know.
I just smiled and responded,
"It's the usual."
"Huh?" Megumin was confused while Yunyun was happy.
"I see... she will be more happy when Megumin is here."
"What do you mean by that, Yunyun?" Megumin shook her.
"You'll find out later when he comes back."
Yunyun came back inside the house and Megumin followed her but still looks doubtful of me.
I quickly teleported to Crimson Demon Village and I arrived in front of Megumin's house.
"What else would it be?"
I slid the entrance door and entered inside the house. In the living room, I found Komekko lying down on the tatami floor while dazing at the ceiling of the room.
"Komekko, what are you doing? Has your parents returned?"
"..."
She wasn't responding to me.
"Hello, Komekko?"
"..."
Suddenly, her stomach growled out of hunger.
"I see..."
Her parents didn't return since they haven't sold anything yet from their shop.
"Those adults... they are so irresponsible." I sighed.
"Komekko! Do you want to eat dinner at my house? Your big sister is staying there tonight."
"Dinner!" she woke up and turned towards me.
"Yes... go eat at much as you want. You can stay there tonight if you want and play with your troublesome big sister!"
"Onee-chan!"
"That's right, Komekko! I also brought some new toys!"
"Yay! Let's go, Onii-chan!"
I turned around and she jumped on my back, carrying her with me as I teleported back at home.
Arriving back home, Komekko entered with a loud bang from the entrance door and Megumin was surprised to see her little sister.
"I came to visit!"
"Eh? Komekko?"
Komekko ran and hugged her big sister.
"Onee-chan!"
"You see, Haru-kun often brought Komekko here to eat when your parents aren't home." Yunyun explained.
"Eh! Doesn't that sounds like kidnapping?"
"Worry not, I already reminded your parents in advance and they totally agreed since they rarely feed her anything nutritious." I just walked passed them and went straight to the kitchen.
After the preparations was completed, we served all the cooked food in the table and I called everyone to the kitchen to eat their dinner. When they finished eating the main dish, I served them some desserts which is a pudding in a glass cup with caramel. Everyone was blissfully eating it.

It was midnight and I was still awake in my room, reading a book. Suddenly, someone knocked on my door and it was my little sister Lolisa when I heard her voice.
"Onii-sama?"
I opened the door and she was hugging a pillow. Her sleeping dress was white gown with a skirt that barely covers her thigh and her long, silvery white hair was untied.
"What wrong, Lolisa? Unable to sleep?"
"Hm..." she shyly nodded to me.
I let her inside my room and she sits at the side of my bed.
"Did you have a bad dream?" I sat back on my chair and continued reading the book.
"Yes..."
She's reincarnated into White Queen now and isn't afraid to fight anyone unless her nightmare must be something about her past life which she is completely helpless.
"What kind of dream was it? Oh-- Now that I remember, you haven't told me how you died. You said you were just run over by a truck in an accident just like me."
Lolisa embraced herself tightly as she trembled. As if she was afraid of something from her past life.
"I was being chase... A lot of people angry because of our father's horrible deeds. They want me to take the blame and vent their anger. I was taken to a very scary place and they did a lot of horrible things to me."
My eyes widened in surprise as she continues and she started crying.
"They rip me out of my clothes... mess with my body... they turned me into their plaything. No matter-- *Sniff.* No matter how much I said 'I'm sorry', 'Please forgive me.', they just laugh and never stop... Even though they saw the scar on my chest and they cursed and told me that I deserved it! No matter how much I struggle and ask for forgiveness, I... I... uuuuuu~"
I went and sit on her side then embraced her tightly. No matter how much angry I become, it cant bear any fruit since it's all in the past life. I can't go back there and turn them into mince meat.
"You were able to escape, right?"
"Yes... I jumped out from the second floor of the building when the police raided the place but I got sweep off by a truck while running on the road."
She calmed down a little and told me about her end.
I lied down together with her in the bed while holding both of her hands.
"You have to rest now, Lolisa... Tomorrow, we'll go on a shopping together with everyone."
"Yes, Onii-sama!" she closed her eyes which still has leftover tears while smiling to me.
"Onii-sama."
"What is it?"
"I'm not dirty, right? I'm still a virgin."
I pulled her closer to me and I leaned her head onto my shoulder while I brushing her head with my hand.
"What are you talking about? We already reincarnated into new body. Forget the bad things from our past life and face this new chaotic life. No one will able to hurt you now since I am here to protect you."
Before I noticed, she was already comfortably sleeping on my side with a smile on her face. I snapped my fingers and the light on my room turned off.

A day later in Date A Live World,
While ordering on a crepe stall, a beautiful girl in highschool uniform approached and spoke with me while trying to act cute. She has long blue hair and brown eyes and she's wearing a four leaf clover hairpin on her bangs.(Img<<<)
"Hello, my name is Itsuka Shi...Shiori. Nice to meet you."
She even did a sparkling pose.
Her acting was a little stiff but I can see that she is trying her best because I know who really he is.
"What are you doing, Bro? Cosplay?"
"Ugh..."
He froze in shock.
From this moment, our date has started.
