Haruto covered his forehead, "Come here."
The ghost girl immediately floated over, eyes full of hope.
Haruto sighed, turning around, "Don't squat outside."
As time passes and oddities attack, the world reacts in various ways.
At this point, top Onmyoji would have definitely noticed something.
And that's the problem. No one is sure when someone might suddenly see ghosts. This wasn't mentioned on the news yesterday.
It's just that the public doesn't believe it.
Because some vital information and evidence would be blocked.
Haruto didn't care since he had already foreseen the future.
But others were different.
They were clueless.
They were the same as always.
So, what if someone suddenly saw the ghost girl crouching in the corner and got scared half to death?
At that point, there would be a lot of trouble!
"Oh."
The ghost girl clasped her hands in front of her chest and looked at Haruto pitifully, like a stray pet waiting for its owner to take her home.
Haruto sighed, turning around, "Come inside."
"Yay, thank you, Onii-chan."
The ghost girl looked surprised, quickly thanked him, and then happily floated into the room.
At this moment, Nanako suddenly grabbed Haruto and whispered, "Onii-chan, this isn't good, there's a thief in the house."
"?"
Haruto reacted quickly, walking into the bedroom to check.
In the bedroom, he saw a silver-haired girl lying on her back, breathing steadily, sound asleep.
Nanako peeked out from behind Haruto, eyes wide, "Eh? It's actually Sora-Nee?"
The girl soundly asleep in the bedroom was none other than his other younger sister!
If she had just informed them beforehand, Nanako wouldn't have almost called the police!
"What a pretty girl. Is she Onii-chan's girlfriend?"
The ghost girl floated into the bedroom, bent over, eyes wide open, staring unblinkingly at Sora.
This scene alone was creepy enough!
Luckily, Sora couldn't see ghosts, or she might have been frightened and caused a fuss seeing this!
"Don't run around!"
"Oh~"
The ghost girl blinked and obediently stood aside.
Haruto took a deep breath, entered the bedroom, then pulled up the blanket.
Wait...
Haruto's eyes landed on the neatly folded dress beside the bed. The corner of his mouth twitched, and with a look of disgust, he withdrew his hand.
"Forget it, just yell."
He rubbed his brow, feeling a headache, and said, "Sora, wake up."
"Hmm~"
Sora slowly opened her drowsy eyes, glanced at him, and then turned over.
"I'm hungry, let's cook."
"..."
'Ah, the first thing you say is you're hungry when you wake up… Did I owe you something in a past life?'
Haruto straightened up and looked at the ghost girl, "Go outside."
"Eh?"
The ghost girl tilted her head, gently touching her fingertips, and whispered, "Onii-chan, hitting people is wrong."
It was just to wake her up. If he couldn't do it, he'd have to hit her.
A brother's duty is to correct his naughty sister!
Haruto thought for a moment, then walked out of the room without further action. Honestly, it was difficult to wake Sora since you can't wake someone pretending to sleep.
So, wasn't there an expert tool outside?
It was Nanako!
He looked at Nanako, who was happily playing games, her butt in the air, and said, "Nanako, wake Sora up. It's not good to nap for too long during lunchtime."
"No way."
Nanako refused, but Haruto wasn't in a hurry, because he already had Nanako's Noble Phantasm in his hands.
"Five hundred yen."
Nanako immediately beamed with joy, stood up quickly, patted her chest, and promised, "Onii-chan, leave it to Nanako!"
"Nanako promises to complete the mission!"
"And, Onii-chan, no cheating!"
"..."
Haruto kept a straight face, refusing to reveal his thoughts, and headed to the kitchen with the ingredients.
"So her name is Sora? She's also Onii-chan's sister."
Hearing the ghost girl's voice, Haruto said, "Go out and sit down and watch Nanako play games."
"But I don't understand the expressions on her face..."
Haruto raised an eyebrow, "You've never played Mario?"
"Eh? The weird old man who lost his hat is called Mario?"
The ghost girl put her finger to her mouth, looked up, and murmured, "I feel like I have an impression. I must have played something similar, but different."
The Mario series has a lot of games. As time has passed, Mario still holds a place in the gaming industry.
But she only feels familiar?
Is she an antique ghost?
Haruto shifted his gaze and said, "What do you want from me?"
The ghost girl clasped her hands behind her back, raised her face, and showed a sweet smile, "Because I have a wish, but I can't remember it. Isn't that strange?"
"Eh—? Onii-chan, are you making curry?"
The ghost girl's eyes sparkled, staring wide-eyed, full of hope and desire.
Haruto: "😐"
'I've been generous enough to let you in, but now you still want to take advantage of me?'
After driving the ghost girl named Ruka away, Haruto pondered for a moment and muttered, "Do you want it?"
Ruka shook her head and focused on the ingredients.
If her wish wasn't too difficult, it would be better to grant it and get rid of her. Otherwise, Haruto couldn't raise her, right?
It's absolutely impossible!
After dealing with the ingredients, Haruto walked out of the kitchen. It was still early, so there was no need to rush cooking.
Sora rubbed her eyes and walked out of the bedroom, yawning as she sat on the couch, "Haruto, my body hurts. Please give me a massage."
"That's because you slept too long."
*JIII*
Her long silver hair draped down, Sora tilted her head slightly, staring at him without blinking.
Haruto was unmoved, "Get up and move around."
Sora pouted, unhappy, "You used to help me every night before."
Nanako widened her eyes, curiously staring at Sora.
Sora's voice paused for a moment, then continued, "You used to give me massages before."
"Before is before, and now is now."
Massaging her was impossible. What if Nanako overheard and reported it in exchange for pocket money?
Sora puffed her cheeks slightly, but she also knew Nanako couldn't keep secrets and was a little spy.
"By the way, who's that girl?"
Sora suddenly glanced at the ghost girl sitting next to Nanako, then looked at Haruto with strange eyes.
Haruto raised an eyebrow slightly, a look of surprise on his face.
"You can see her?"
"Hm?"
Sora furrowed her brows, reached out to pinch him, "I'm not blind, idiot!"
