I waited for almost an hour for her to be ready, during that time I tried to take a closer look at what I know about Mukuro's Qlipha.
I came to the conclusion that I can't separate her from him, apparently my reversal is still in her body, so now it's impossible to stop or use it again since she has fused with him.
I see her coming down the stairs, she's wearing a white blouse and a black skirt, her hairstyle reminds me of what she wore in the anime, except for the moon ornament on her head.
"You look beautiful, sister," I compliment her appearance, which makes her visibly happy.
"Thank you, brother, you look handsome too." Mukuro's gaze is somewhat disturbing, her eyes are practically empty, very difficult to read any emotion. She's the second person I've had the most trouble reading.
Her eyes never leave me, it's almost like a predator looking at a prey it doesn't want to let escape.
"Shall we go?" I say, extending my hand to her. She accepts and comes with me.
We start walking down the street, our destination is the Shopping Mall. During this time, we have some conversations, but what I notice the most is how she practically doesn't take her eyes off me, at most she looks away to look at where we're going.
"Sister, don't you mind that it's crowded with people here?" I wonder how different her expression would be if she were here alone, close to all these humans.
"...They are nothing compared to the shine of my brother, why would I care?" So if I weren't here, she would be completely different... I wonder how different.
We arrive at the Shopping Mall, and the first place I take her is a restaurant with various types of dishes, I want to see what her choice will be.
"You can choose whatever you want, sister," I say to her with a charming smile, to which she reacts by blushing.
"Y-Yes, brother," she begins to look at the menu. After a few moments, she chooses a dish called "Fugu," which is some kind of pufferfish dish, I choose the same to try.
After ordering a few more dishes to accompany, we start eating.
"Do you like this dish, sister?" I begin to ask about her choice.
"Yes, brother, it's delicious and has the meaning of 'Flower of Death,' which I find somewhat romantic for a date, don't you think?"
'I don't think something that symbolizes death is the best choice for a date.'
"Well... it's interesting, and the flavor is really delicious," she gets a bit more excited as we continue our meal, after that we go to the cinema, I let her choose the movie she wants.
I don't know much about her tastes, so I'm pretty much letting her lead the date. She chooses a horror movie with a very heavy rating.
'...Does she have a preference for darker things?' Mukuro doesn't give the image of an excited girl, if I had to say the overall vision about her, she would be a mature girl with a slightly serious air.
And with just that, I can't say what her tastes are. The movie is good, but none of us gets scared by anything, considering that we are spirits, it doesn't make sense to be scared by the movie's content.
It even seems like she chose this type of movie just to see people dying in it.
'It wasn't for that reason... right?' I'm in doubt, Mukuro is kind of mysterious to me, she's someone I didn't know much about, and now that she's reversed, it's even harder to know about her.
After the movie ends, we leave the cinema.
"The movie was great, don't you think, brother?"
"Yes, it was fun," it also gave me some interesting ideas to test.
"What was your favorite part, sister?" I ask, curious about which scene she liked the most.
"Without a doubt the scene where the protagonist is killed in the end, it was incredible."
"..." I don't know how to say that the most brutal death scene in the movie is "Incredible," I have no idea what's going on in her head, it kind of irritates me a little, usually I can read people like open books, but people like the current Mukuro are too difficult to read anything from, it's like an encrypted book.
"Of course, that was an interesting scene."
"And you, brother, which scene did you like?"
"...I think the scene... of the protagonist's girlfriend's death..."
'I guess I'm not so different from Mukuro after all...' I thought about how I didn't understand Mukuro for choosing the most brutal death scene in the movie when I chose the second most brutal scene in the movie.
"That one was great too," she agrees.
"Shall we go to an ice cream parlor?" I invite her to have a snack with me.
"Yes, I know a great one in this Mall," she responds excitedly.
"I see, then let's go there," I let her lead the way.
We arrive at the ice cream parlor, although its design is beautiful and it has a graceful air, there aren't many people, so we sit at a table to place an order.
Mukuro chooses a strawberry ice cream of some kind with a few toppings, while I choose the same, thinking that if I try exactly what she chooses, I can get a better idea of her mentality.
"It's good..." the ice cream is better than I expected.
"Yes, I know, although it's not very crowded, the ice cream from this place is wonderful," she agrees as she continues eating.
Looking at her like this, she even seems like a normal girl, if it weren't for the fact that she's sitting next to me instead of the chair in front of me or the fact that she practically doesn't take her eyes off me, at least during the movie she only looked at the screen.
I see that she has slightly smeared some ice cream on her cheek.
"..."
'I think...'
I bring my face close to her cheek and lick the ice cream to clean it, when she realizes what I've done, she freezes, a few moments later she blushes deeply and averts her gaze.
"B-Brother, t-that..."
"Hahaha, don't be shy, sister, there's no one here to watch," I continue my ice cream while observing her reactions, the most obvious pattern is that she acts like a normal girl when I'm involved, but acts normally when the act has nothing to do with me.
'Does she fear showing her true personality to me? Or is it just her way of acting? She doesn't seem to be hiding it on purpose... I think it's more of a natural reaction.' Although Mukuro sometimes tries to hide some of her actions, she clearly isn't very good at it, so when she seems like a normal girl, that's who she really is.
"Mukuro, shall we go to the observatory?" if there's one thing I know, it's that she likes space.
"Yes, let's go," she gives an excited smile as she agrees, we pay for the ice creams and leave, to go to the big observatory. After a long walk, we arrive just in time as it has just gotten dark, and I notice that we've been on this date all day.
'I ended up losing track of time...'
We enter the observatory and she runs to one of the telescopes.
She doesn't say anything, but it's obvious that she wants to use that one. I walk up to her.
"Mukuro," I call her by name to ask a serious question.
"Yes... brother, is there a problem?" she seems a bit nervous since I called her by name instead of sister.
"I will ask 2 serious questions." These questions will give me a certain margin of maneuver about her, depending on the answer. She nods her head and gets ready for the questions.
"First... what does space and the universe symbolize to you?" this question may seem simple, but for all people, the place they define as special has a deep meaning with the emotions and memories of the people.
"..." she thinks for a moment.
"Freedom and vastness, that's what the universe and space represent to me," she responds with composure.
Her answer basically defines something that contrasts with her life experience. This interest also reflects her search for a place where she can belong and feel at peace. So with that, my second question will be even more important.
"Second question... what am I to you?"
"Everything, my brother is everything to me, my life, my world, my peace, you are the one who saved me, you are the only one who understood my pain and saved me from that miserable life," she responds without hesitation.
Her answer helps me understand a little better the vision she has of me, which is also linked to the first question, basically I am the place where she can belong and feel at peace.
"I see," I say, hugging her.
"Thank you for seeing me this way, I also think you are very important to me, you are special and I wouldn't trade you for anything in this vast universe," I give her a kiss after saying these words, she reciprocates. Although it's difficult to read her emotions, I can notice how happy she is with these words.
After a moment we separate our lips, she's a little embarrassed but happy. After that, we go back to observing the stars through the telescope for a while.
After that, we go home, this date lasted all day, so it's time to end it, after walking home, she's going to take a bath to sleep. I'm waiting in the living room.
"Ara Ara, Aurélio-san is so popular with the girls, but are you already cheating on Shiori?" Kurumi appears in front of me, coming out of the shadows.
"...She's my sister," Kurumi seems a bit surprised and a slight look of disgust passes for a moment.
'So she observed all the moments of the date.'
"Hahaha, you weren't able to hide that very well, you think this 'Incestuous' relationship is disgusting."
Although we may not be blood siblings in this world, siblings, even if not by blood, cannot have a relationship. Basically, it's something cultural, so even though Mukuro and I are not blood siblings in the view of the people of this world, it's still a disgusting relationship.
"W-Well..." she can't find the words to answer, clearly she thought this relationship was wrong.
'Funny... I'm disgusting for having a relationship with Mukuro, but the Protagonist Shido isn't disgusting for having a relationship with Kotori.' Although nothing ever happened between them in the anime, it's clear that Kotori sees Shido as a man and they are non-blood siblings.
"HAHAHA, don't worry too much about that, you know very well that I don't have a shred of morality," which is true, Kurumi knows very well that she can't expect morality from me.
"Of course... So you want something from me, you had a message..."
"Of course I want... and I'm willing to pay a lot for it," I say to her with a smile.
"And what do you want..." she asks calmly.
"I want you to send me back in time, along with Shiori, Origami and Mukuro." I've thought a lot about this, I deduce that Shiori and Mukuro must remember the old world, I don't want to risk my plans failing simply because I didn't do something in the new world.
"W-WHAT, THAT'S RIDICULOUS" she yells in surprise.
"I-I mean, that's a lot of people..." I know she has a limit, but I can solve this.
"Don't worry, I'll supply the time you need with my own." Because of the reversal, I have infinite life, so there's no problem supplying her time with mine.
"Aurélio-san, that's not..." I interrupt her speaking.
"Don't worry, I have my own method, so you'll be able to get the time you need without any problems."
"Ok... if you say so, I can help with that... what will you give me?" she already started the bargain, she's quick.
"Rasiel"
"...Rasiel? I don't understand..." she's confused about why I just said a word.
"I'll give you the Sephira that contains Rasiel when we find Nia Honjo." I decided on this, although I was tempted to destroy Rasiel, I don't know if I can destroy a Sephira, so it's better to give it to Kurumi, I can also simply betray Kurumi and take it back if necessary.
At least if it's with her, I know no one will be able to steal it, and there's also something I can do, with the analysis of Mukuro's attack on Origami, I discovered that she can make Destruction work as poison.
As a countermeasure, I'll tell Mukuro to put Destruction in the crystal and then we'll deactivate it and leave that attack there, so if I decide to betray Kurumi, we can make Mukuro's attack kill Kurumi.
She won't be able to simply shoot and rewind time because I'll use the reversal on the Sephira, so every time she tries to remove the effect with a time bullet, it will come back.
'If Kurumi uses Rasiel on herself, I'll be able to kill her whenever I want.' Kurumi is someone difficult to kill, but Kotori almost killed her, so I can do the same if I use the right tactics.
"You'll give me the Angel that collects information? You're joking?" she asks with curiosity.
"It's not a joke, I believe it has more utility with you, so do you accept this reward for my time travel request?"
"..." she thinks for a while.
"...Yes... I accept, so when will you make the time travel?"
"I'll tell you later, I need to take care of some things first, now you can go, I don't want Mukuro to see you."
"Ara ara, Aurélio-san is such a sinner, I'll see you in hell someday," she says, disappearing into the shadows.
'Don't worry, Kurumi, that would never happen anyway.'
I start waiting for Mukuro to come out of the bathroom. After a while, she comes out and comes to the living room.
"Brother, the bathroom is... free," when she comes to the living room, she stops for a moment.
"Bitch," she whispers something, thinking I didn't hear.
"Sister?... who did you curse?"
'Who is she talking about?'
"T-That... brother... it's... there's a girl who's always invading this house... she has black hair and wears a Gothic Lolita dress... she was here."
"!!!"
'How does she know?'
"How do you know that?"
"When I was awakening my demon king, I could see everything in an area of one block from this house, and I also feel the scent of that girl in this room..."
'Good thing I don't talk to myself... Mukuro is some kind of dog? How does she manage to identify the scent of a person who wasn't even here for 5 minutes?'
I feel a slight tremor, I judge that Mukuro's ability to identify scents must be one of her Yandere powers, like when the Yandere knows you're cheating on her even if she hasn't seen or found anything.
"W-Well, I'm going to take a bath, sister, are you going to sleep already?"
"Yes, brother, have a good night."
"Good night to you too, sister," I say, entering the bathroom to take a bath and end this day.
