Katsu and Shidou bought some breakfast to take home. When they returned, Kotori had already woken up and finished washing up.
When the three sat at the table, the atmosphere was very strange, Shidou was silent, Kotori was dodging, and Katsu was a little guilty.
"Well, I'm full." This was Kotori's speech. After speaking, she put down her chopsticks and got up, and went upstairs.
In the end, only Katsu and Shidou were left at the table, and the atmosphere continued as in the cafe. The two ate quietly. In the end, Shidou couldn't hold back and was the first to break the silence, "Katsu, you... and Kotori...".
The corners of Katsu's mouth twitched, although he had vaguely guessed a certain possibility before, when Shidou spoke, Katsu's head froze for a while, "Uh...this is a misunderstanding..."
Shidou frowned slightly. He nodded, then paused, "So, what do you think?"
Katsu smiled wryly, thinking, is it really not that easy to solve...
"I don't care what I think, the key is what Kotori thinks." Katsu decided to go for it.
Shidou nodded, and the atmosphere became dull again.
After eating, Katsu went back to his bedroom, lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling silently.
After a while, Katsu saw Shidou returning to his room through the window next to him. Because the windows of the two of them were less than two meters apart, the two often communicated across the room.
Only today, neither of them was in the mood to chat, and when Shidou returned to his room, he just lay quietly on the bed, not knowing what he was thinking.
Even Kotori is hiding on the bed now, and the whole person is covered under the quilt.
It was not until noon that Katsu was called by Shidou to have lunch.
Probably because after morning, it was enough for people to figure out a lot of things. The atmosphere between the three of Katsu was no longer as dull as in the morning.
"Well... Brother Katsu's cooking skills are really not as good as Brother Shidou ..." Kotori put a piece of shrimp in her small mouth, and then made such a comment.
"Uh...Is that so, I'm a little sad, but I don't object." Shidou scratched his hair and smiled.
Katsu turned his head and covered his face in a funny way, "Don't brag, don't brag, be shy, be shy."
Just like that, the usual happy atmosphere came up again.
As usual, Shidou started to clean up the dining table and kitchen after dinner, Katsu yawned and glanced at Kotori quietly, but Kotori was also looking at him.
Just when Katsu panicked and wanted to dodge his gaze, Kotori said, "Hey, Brother Katsu, let's play games with me for a while!"
Katsu was stunned for a moment, then seemed to understand (realize) something, and smiled lightly, " Okay."
In the afternoon, a phone call came from Katsu's part-time job shop, saying that he could work normally today, so at about 2:30, Katsu, Shidou, and Kotori said goodbye to the cafe.
After Katsu left, Shidou and Kotori sat side by side on the sofa in the living room.
"Hey, let me ask you, Kotori, what do you think of Katsu?" Shidou looked at Kotori with a smile, as if he asked casually.
She didn't seem to expect her brother to suddenly ask such a question. Kotori, who was still holding the handle in her hand, stiffened for a while, then turned to Shidou and smiled, "Brother, what are you talking about? What do I think of Brother Katsu, of course? I treat him like a big brother like you~"
Shidou who received the answer did not doubt it, but nodded with a smile as if satisfied with the answer, touched Kotori's hair, and breathed a sigh of relief.
...
When the brothers and sisters of the Shidou family were having a "friendly conversation", Katsu who was outside caressing a cat at the moment, was in crisis.
"Sorry, can I disturb you?" This is what a girl with devilish charm said to Katsu.
Katsu, who turned his back to the other side with a friendly smile, turned around and greeted, "What can I do for you..."
When Katsu saw the other side's face clearly, he was immediately stunned. on the spot.
"That, are you okay?" A magnetic, mysterious and seductive voice sounded in Katsu's ear. Restart his downed brain of him.
"Ah... I'm sorry for being distracted a little, then, is there anything I can do for you?" Katsu intends to pretend that he doesn't know the other person, although the other person's appearance is definitely the type that can be remembered for a lifetime at a glance.. "
Ahhhh~ have you forgotten me? Kat~su~kun~" The girl whispered in his ear.
Katsu's eyelids jumped ready to fight if necessary. Since the other party already knew his name, it meant that she must have investigated him. In other words, he had been completely targeted by this dangerous spirit.
Immediately, Katsu showed a rather kind smile to the spirit who was recognized as Nightmare...
