Chapter 340: Bite Your Tongue (2/2)

“Just wanted to show you how close we are, that’s all. At this rate, we’d slip past an R rating and go straight for the X rated section, so I guess we’d best leave it here for now.”

“Actually, I’m cool with seeing it go down here.”

Akiha remarked from the side. He wasn’t sure if she was serious or joking. But it sure was good timing. Yuri was unable to say anything, mouth opening and closing in surprise.

“No, I definitely won’t do that here. And why do all of you enjoy that sort of thing?”

“That sort of thing?”

“How come you always want to show people every little thing?”

“That’s some obvious stuff, man.”

Akiha winked.

“Cause it’s fantastic!”

“No, I’m pretty sure you’re the only one who thinks that.”

“I guess it’s cause I personally flaunt everything.”

“Well, that in itself is worrying…”

“How so?”

“I mean that I am questioning your strange desire to show off personal things to people.”

“Just think of it as boasting! You know, like ‘I bet y’all want some of THIS, but you can never get close to it, losers!’ or something like that.”

“I’d never go thaaat far.”

“But it’s fantastic, y’know?”

And that was how their little banter went. During that time, Yuri was constantly shaking.

“Ruri!”

“—-gh!”

Just by having her name called, Shirokiyami’s body stiffened, almost like she was a small child. Taiyou lightly patted her head, focusing his feelings toward her.

“Are you going to seriously listen to that guy?”

“I…”

“Like I said…”

Taiyou butted in. He saw no further point in letting her bear the full brunt of the attack.

“She can’t move because I am hugging her. I am more powerful.”

“Uuu!”

Yuri moaned like a child throwing a tantrum.

“Ruri!”

“As I said—-”

Taiyou said in a slightly exasperated tone. No matter how many times she tried to order her younger sister around, it would not work. He was stronger, after all, so why didn’t she get that?

However, Yuri’s next order was absolutely unexpected.

“Why don’t you just die! Bite your tongue and die!”

“…Mhm.”

Shirokiyami made a small nod, opening her mouth. Taiyou wasn’t able to react immediately, confused by the sudden turn of events. By the time he had realized what was going on, it was too late. The girl in his arms stiffened up again, but this time, it was as if…as if she were saying ‘I’m sorry’.

“Wai—-”

He tried to stop her, but it didn’t go well, as he had not reacted quickly enough. The next moment, he could feel Shirokiyami’s jaw movement.

Red, fresh blood flowed out of the corner of her mouth, dripping onto the ground. Taiyou was utterly dumbfounded at what had just transpired.

“Owowow.”

As if she had anticipated this happening, Akiha had swiftly hrust her hand between Shirokiyami’s lips.
