"It's been almost an hour. Is Big Sister still not done washing?" Yori, who had finished watching an episode of a TV drama in the living room, muttered to herself in confusion.
Although girls usually take a long time to shower, her sister was clearly no ordinary girl.
In Yori's mind, her sister was the type who would just turn on the faucet, stand under the water for a quick rinse, and call it a day. Yet, so much time had passed, and her sister still hadn't come out of the bathroom.
This piqued Yori's curiosity. Could it be that her sister was actually a girl who knew how to enjoy herself?
With that thought, Yori tiptoed to the outside of the bathroom, intending to listen for any movement inside.
When she did, her eyes nearly popped out of her head. Why was there another girl's voice coming from the bathroom?!
And that voice sounded just like Quinn!
"Your hair is really well-maintained. I didn't expect you to have such leisurely interests." That's right, this voice—mischievous yet a little cute—belonged to Quinn.
"Don't touch me recklessly." Her sister's voice seemed to carry a hint of bashfulness, which greatly surprised Yori. Could her usually cold sister actually get shy?
"You said it yourself before—we're both girls, so it's fine. Besides, didn't you beg me to help you wash? What, are you regretting it now?"
"I didn't ask you to wash *there*."
"Fine, then do it yourself."
"...Turn your head away."
"Alright, alright, Miss York."
The conversation in the bathroom made Yori's face turn bright red. The not-so-innocent young girl's mind was already filled with countless erotic images.
She never expected Quinn and her sister to have this kind of relationship. She had thought they were enemies, but... as it turned out, they were like *this*?
Thinking of her sister's icy personality, Yori had already concocted a 52-episode romance drama in her head.
Could Quinn actually be her sister-in-law?!
Heavens, this news was too explosive.
Yori crouched by the bathroom door, carefully controlling herself not to make a sound. She wanted to know what else her sister and Quinn would say.
She listened for another half hour.
When Melanie walked out of the bathroom in a white nightgown, still damp with steam, she immediately saw her sister's flushed face.
Has Leticia been outside the bathroom this whole time?
Melanie's face also began to redden uncontrollably. She thought about her conversation with Leticia just now. It would have been fine if only the two of them heard it, but she never expected that walls have ears.
"Leticia... did you hear everything?"
"Mm-hmm." Yori nodded, covering her face.
"There's nothing between us. I just asked her for a little help," Melanie tried to explain.
But to Yori, her explanation sounded incredibly weak.
A little help?
Helping someone bathe isn't just "a little help"!
At the thought of her sister and Quinn being naked together in the bathroom, with Quinn teasingly touching her sister all over... Wow, Yori didn't even know who to be jealous of.
"Sister, I'm not a child anymore. I know everything." Yori took a deep breath and stood up from the floor. "Since this is your decision, I will definitely not oppose it."
"Quinn is a good person. If she becomes my sister-in-law, I can accept that."
A giant question mark popped up over Melanie's head. Sister-in-law? What on earth was inside Yori's head?
The relationship between her, Melanie, and Leticia might not be described as like fire and water, but it was certainly a life-and-death struggle.
Her seeking Leticia's help this time was nothing more than an attempt to maintain her lofty image in Yori's eyes, but it seemed to have backfired.
Her image in Yori's eyes seemed to be sprinting towards something strange.
"She and I... our relationship is very bad."
"You broke up before, right? I know. But Sister, you still have a chance to win Quinn back. You have to work hard and don't let any other flashy sluts snatch her away." Yori, trapped in her own logic, was completely deaf to Melanie's explanations.
In her eyes, all of her sister's explanations were just to hide her guilt.
Seriously, if her sister and Quinn weren't in a close relationship, how could her cold sister let Quinn help her bathe?
"Speaking of which, where's Quinn?" Yori poked her head into the bathroom but couldn't find the other protagonist.
"She already left." Melanie gave up arguing. If Yori wanted to think that way, let her. With her almost non-existent eloquence, it was basically impossible to set her sister's thoughts straight.
"Left... but I didn't see Quinn come out."
"She has some special abilities." Melanie was concise.
Nowadays, humans with various strange abilities were not few, so it wasn't something worth hiding.
"Superpowers?! Quinn is an Esper?!" Yori was shocked. That Quinn, who spent all day at home playing games, was actually an Esper!
Wait, then does that mean Big Sister... "Yes, I used to be one too." Melanie nodded. "But now, I'm just an ordinary person."
