"Query. Where did Kaguya and Kyoya just go?"

A dozen minutes later, Yuzuru noticed Kaguya clinging to my arm, feeling inexplicably irritated.

Kaguya looked at Yuzuru with a smug expression. "Yuzuru, I'm definitely winning this time. Just wait for your surrender!"

As she spoke, she didn't forget to glance at me, her eyes filled with affection, her expression gradually softening.

"Refutation. The one who will win will be Yuzuru!" After a long silence, Yuzuru finally spoke again.

Then, Yuzuru glanced at me, walked over, and hugged his other arm. "Request. Kyoya, I have something I want to talk to you about."

"Mm."

After exchanging a smile with Kaguya, I followed Yuzuru to the beach again.

Along the way, Yuzuru remained silent.

It wasn't until they reached the beach, stepping onto the soft sand soaked by the seawater, that Yuzuru finally stopped.

"Question. Did Kaguya do something to Kyoya just now?"

"Uh... Probably not??" I stroked my chin and replied uncertainly after thinking for a moment.

'Besides hugging and kissing Kaguya, there shouldn't have been anything else, right?'

Probably...

Hearing my answer, Yuzuru shook her head and sighed with some helplessness. "Disappointment~ If Kaguya had gone all out to seduce Kyoya, Kyoya would have turned into a monkey in heat and would have been easily seduced."

"..."

'Girl, Is that the image you have of me in your heart? Although I do like Kaguya, I'm not that desperate, am I??'

————

While Yuzuru's words were strange, I could still sense a trace of something unusual in her tone.

Suddenly, Yuzuru released my arm, brought her face close to mine, and stared intently at me. The air suddenly grew quiet. The two of them maintained that posture in silence.

A few seconds later, Yuzuru asked with a calm expression, "Question. Kyoya... do you like Kaguya?"

When she saw Kaguya return, clinging to my arm, the expression, the heartfelt smile, and the occasional affectionate glance she sent my way—

Yuzuru and Kaguya were twin sisters, and they had always been together. How could she not know?

At this point, her heart was filled with complex emotions. She felt both sad and a sense of relieved joy.

So, Yuzuru decided to lay her cards on the table, to voluntarily disappear, so that Kaguya could live happily and contentedly.

"I like her."

"That's great!" Yuzuru revealed a strained smile, looking up at him, trying hard to hold back the tears in her beautiful eyes.

"Kaguya is very beautiful and charming. She is the one qualified to inherit the Yamai Spirit. So please, Kyoya, choose her~"

After a moment of silence, I calmly refused. "I won't choose her."

"Eh!?" Yuzuru was bewildered by my answer. She stared at him blankly, frozen on the spot.

Then I gently pulled her into my embrace, my tone gentle yet filled with a certain heartache. "Did you know? Even though you were smiling just now, it looked more like you were crying, Silly Yuzuru."

Leaning against my chest, Yuzuru's heart was in turmoil. Her nose stung, and she suddenly felt the urge to cry. From the very beginning, she didn't want to disappear, but she wanted Kaguya to disappear even less!

From the moment they were born together, Yuzuru and Kaguya knew that only one of them could survive. For this reason, they began their endless battles. To this day, they still hadn't determined a winner.

But now, Kaguya, that idiot, could finally win and become the true Yamai.

Yuzuru held back the tears in her eyes, refusing to cry. Because she couldn't cry.

She was just one step away from success. She couldn't let it all go to waste. Everything was for Kaguya.

She looked up at me, her beautiful eyes shimmering with a strange light, her small lips pursed. "Refutation. Kyoya is mistaken. And... Yuzuru is very happy. So, please, Kyoya, choose Kaguya, okay?"

"That won't do!" Hearing the repeated rejection, Yuzuru's pretty face showed a hint of urgency, her tone even becoming nervous. "Why?? Didn't you say you like Kaguya? Why won't you choose her..."

I wiped away the tears from the corner of Yuzuru's eyes. Yuzuru's delicate body trembled, her fair cheeks turning red. She blinked her mercury-like eyes, staring at him with confusion.

"Why do you insist that I choose Kaguya, and not you, Yuzuru? You should know, Yuzuru has a better figure and a gentler personality. Maybe I'll choose you!"

Hearing me praise her figure, Yuzuru's face showed a hint of shyness, her voice soft. "But... Kaguya is more lively, cuter, and more charming than Yuzuru. You..."

Kyoya: "But Yuzuru's figure is better, and she's very cute too!"

'Mmph~ Why is it this sentence again?' Although Yuzuru was happy in her heart, she felt somewhat troubled. Because she really didn't know what to do??

He said he likes Kaguya, but why won't he choose her? Yuzuru noticed my subtle movements and her face quickly flushed. A shy thought suddenly came to her mind.

'Could it be... he likes me??' Thinking of this, the blush on Yuzuru's face deepened. 'Actually, he prefers girls with good figures?'

'No! Absolutely not!!'

This match should be Kaguya's win!

Yuzuru pouted, staring at him resentfully. "Objection. H Kyoya, big pervert. Yuzuru hates you..."

As soon as she said it, Yuzuru felt a little regretful. She looked at me pitifully, as if she both wanted me to hate her and was afraid I would really start to dislike her.

To this, I twitched my lips and teased, "Is it wrong for a boy to like girls with good figures? So... why can't I choose the one with the better figure, Yuzuru!"

"..."

Yuzuru's mouth opened, staring at him blankly, for a moment, she didn't know what to say. Originally, hearing me say I liked Kaguya, everything was going according to her plan. But who knew...

Now Yuzuru's mind was a blank slate. She had no idea how to persuade me.

Looking at the bewildered and somewhat dazed Yuzuru, I couldn't help but pinch her tender little cheek.

And this also made Yuzuru come back to her senses. As if having made some kind of decision, she wrapped her arms around his waist in return.

Then, Yuzuru looked at me affectionately. "If Kyoya chooses Kaguya, you can do anything you want to me. I won't object~"

Damn! This again??

'You really are twin sisters. Even your methods of seducing me are the same.'
