Chapter 69 - Sophia

(A/N Bonus chapter. I author of this fanfic has a dream, and it's to be in the top 10 at the end of a week. I know it's unreasonable but a man can dream. Give power stones by the way.)

(Ryoto's pov)

I finished eating my food and wiped my mouth with a napkin.

$&!#D¥¤: "Are you sure you are full? Should I make some additional dishes? I don't want to brag, but I'm pretty confident with my cooking skills."

Ryoto: "No need, but thanks for the offer, ..."

I realized that I didn't know her name. It was strange, though. I remember that I heard Karen calling her something, and it was something unrecognizable and not possible to say, but I couldn't remember anything about the sound of her name.

She probably realized her mistake and started introducing herself.

$&!#D¥¤: "It seems that I forgot to introduce myself. My name is $&!#D¥¤ but since you can't comprehend my name's sound or even the memory, you can call me Sophia. I am also <>~A@€!%'s older sister. You call her Karen if it's easier to understand. I also feel the need to apologize for my little sister's behavior."

She bowed deeply.

Is it really the sister that Karen talked about? I imagined something more... evil? Sinister? I'm not really sure, but not... that.

Karen: "Don't apologize for me, you cunt! I didn't do anything worth apologizing for!"

Sophia: "Really? Then I'm glad."

She believed her!?

Karen: "Grr, I hate you."

Sophia: "I love you too~."

She then turned to me and whispered.

Sophia: "That's her code for I love you because she is too embarrassed to say it out loud."

Karen: "Not true!!! Go drown in the river!!!"

Karen's behavior reminds me of how she behaved at the beginning. You really can hear a difference.

Karen: "What are you doing here anyway? I thought that you were working part-time in Truck-Kun's business."

Sophia: "I got some free time and planned to do some community service, but suddenly I got a call from Truck-San that you finally got your first job as a system guide, and she recommended visiting you. She was sure that the surprise would make you happy."

She seemed so proud of herself. Wait, did she say the first job?

Karen: "Of course, that rusting piece of junk would say that."

Sophia: "<>~A@€!%, watch your language! She is your friend."

Karen: "A friend that can't keep her nose out of her business and is sending my worst enemy right to where 'I' live. Yeah, people must be standing in line for a friend like her."

Sophia: "Don't be like that. When she ate your birthday cake by accident, she even bought a whole new one for you. She insisted on buying it by herself as it was her fault. Such a nice person she is."

Karen: "What!!? That was her!!?" She knew that I was allergic! That old bitch!!!"

Sophia: "Language, <>~A@€!%."

Karen: "I can say whatever I want and whenever I want. You are not my boss! Bitch, bitch, bitch!!!"

How old is she, five?

Sophia: "*Sigh* I'm really sorry. She is a good kid deep inside, so please don't give up on her."

Even if I wanted, I couldn't banish her from my mind.

Ryoto: "You don't need to worry about it. We may have had our differences, but I feel like we are starting to get each other a little better, even though her tongue is sharp like a chainsaw full of chainsaws, but she still helped me a lot."

She widened her eyes, obviously didn't expect that sort of answer, but after the initial shock, she smiled gently.

Sophia: "That's good then. <>~A@€!% is fortunate to find someone like you."

Ryoto: "Stop it, or I'll blush. By the way, you still didn't answer why did you come here."

She brought her hands together and smiled as she realized that she didn't explain anything yet. She seems like an airhead.

Sophia: "When I spoke with Truck-San, she mentioned that I can play the role of your big sister since it would be strange to live for a middle school student alone without any guardian. You can call me Sophia-nee or Onee-San if you want."

Ryoto: "No thanks."

Sophia: "Don't be like that. We'll be family for the next few months."

Ryoto: "I won't call you Onee-San."

Sophia: "How about One-sama?"

Ryoto: "No."

Sophia: "Aneki?"

Ryoto: "No."

Sophia: "Nee-chan?"

Ryoto: "Didn't you come here to check on your sister? You should talk with her and catch up a bit."

Karen: "Ryoto!!! I will rip out your testicles and feed them to you through the tube!!!"

Ryoto: "Don't be like that. I think spending time with your family is important."

Sophia: "I knew that you would understand!"

Sophia pulled me to her embrace and put my head on her chest. It was soft, but Lala was softer and bigger at that, but maybe I'm just biased.

Sophia suddenly started pouting.

Sophia: "Did you think something rude about me?"

Ryoto: "I would never, here, take a lollipop."

I presented her a lollipop, and her eyes shone brightly like a child's seeing its favorite snack.

Sophia: "Yay, a candy!"

She started locking it erotically at first. She even pulled her hair behind her ear in a seductive manner. The moment a lollipop entered her mouth, there was silence. Sophia didn't plan on saying anything as long as she had her candy. She looked around curiously, though. It was as if she reverted to a child-like state.

Ryoto: "Karen, what just happened?"

Karen: "I don't know, but it's fantastic. I don't remember the last time she was this quiet. I take everything bad I said about you, Ryoto. You are a god damn genius. Who knew lollipops worked on her like that. Hahaha hahaha!"

Ryoto: "Are you feeling alright, Karen?"

Karen: "Never better. I need to go for a moment to celebrate. I'll be back tomorrow. Woohoo!!!"

Karen hung up on the phone, and the moment she did, Sophia returned to her usual self.

Ryoto: "...Did... did you fake it?"

Sophia: "<>~A@€!% was always competitive and liked to have any possible advantages over me, so I just gave her one to make her happy. After all, that's what sisters are for, so don't tell her. It will be a secret between us."

She put a single finger on her mouth while leaning slightly.

What did I get myself into?
