Time flew by in a blink of an eye . It is night already . Saya, Karen, and Lina laid their mattresses after finishing their bath and were preparing to sleep .

“Haa, dinner was delicious . ”

Having three warm mattresses laid before her, Saya, wearing her pajama, threw herself on top of them and relaxed . After going out shopping this morning, they spent the rest of the day playing at Lina’s house, or more accurately, testing the magic tools in Lina’s house . Because of that, Saya was able to feel more comfortable than usual while laying down .

“Yeah . ”

“It was good . I had lots of fun . ”

Lina and Karen, wearing their pajamas too, laid on their mattresses with exhausted expressions . Since Lina’s place is a high-class apartment, it was quite spacious even for the three of them together . Her room was rather normal for a girl her age . It had a slightly large bed, cute carpet, a bookshelf and a desk for studying . Enjoying the warm sensation coming from the mattresses, Saya raised her head, seeming to have recalled something .

“By the way . I was honestly surprised to know that both of you can cook well . ”

She said while making an amazed face . When they were about to prepare dinner, Saya was expecting that she will have to teach the both of them how to cook in the process . The shock she received, from realizing that Lina and Karen had equivalent culinary skills as her, was unforgettable .

“Knowing how to cook is indispensable for someone like me who lives alone . Besides, it was included in my training as a servant of Gods . ”

“I learned how to cook with my mom, somehow . ”

“Somehow... I see...”

Saya revealed an awkward and bitter smile to Karen’s casual response . It couldn’t be helped in Karen’s case as she was probably influenced by her mother Kamiya Shiori . Her mother whose job is strongly related to culinary researches is usually a gentle person, but she always sticks her nose once things get associated with food . Assisting such a person in cooking will undoubtedly raise one’s culinary skills . Karen must have gotten used to assisting her mom a long time ago .

“As expected from Yato-kun’s little sister . ”

Impressed by Karen’s ability to learn fast, Saya uttered with a low voice . The three of them played a little race of peeling vegetable skin back when they were preparing dinner . They all used normal knives to peel the vegetables; but if someone was to see them in the middle of the process, he would surely be astounded by their unhuman speed . Along with the continuous peeling sound, they peeled the vegetables faster than any peeling machines and without cutting the tiniest bit beyond the skin .

The only sound that reverberated inside the kitchen at that time was the sound of peeling . Yato had already seen Saya doing the same thing in her house, but the surreal feeling he would get from witnessing three people doing it will be probably much different . Karen is quite impressing to say that she got those skills just ‘somehow’ from her mother . Despite being unrelated by blood to Yato, their high-spec ability to learn fast was the same .

“No, that guy is a bit weird in many ways . ”

Apparently, Saya wasn’t very content to be compared to her brother and shook her head while making a perplexed face . She wasn’t wrong, since Yato was indeed weird a bit, or maybe not just a bit . Lina who felt the same thing from Saya’s remark, agreed with Karen’s reply while nodding deeply .

“I totally agree with you . I never met someone who holds the same abilities as him, except for Gods . ”

“Yato-kun; he’s amazing, after all . ”

Watching both of them agreeing with each other, Saya casually expressed her thoughts . Although she had no idea about how strong a God could be . But at that moment, a sudden wonder passed through her mind .

“I wonder how Yato-kun used to be before he got his abilities . ”

Saya didn’t know about Yato before he acquired his skills . But Karen, who’s living with him under the same roof, did and answered that question with a simple line .

“Not much different than now . ”

“Really?”

Saya revealed a surprised expression after hearing those words . She was waiting for something more than that . However, Karen affirmed her doubt with a nod and continued .

“Onii-chan is the type who only does things he feels like doing . As long as I remember, he always had that mature ambiance around him and only followed his own will . So he was the same as now . ”

He only does things he wants to . If he feels like punching someone, he will eventually find a way to do it, and if he wants to protect someone, he will do so with all his effort . It looks like that he maintained the same character until now . The only thing that changed in him was the acquisition of his new skills . He always seems bothered when helping out that detective in some cases, but if he really didn’t want to, he would never go out with him in the first place . Hearing Karen’s explanation, Saya uttered gently as she sounded somewhat relieved .

“Yato-kun is still the same, as always . ”

She already thought about the possibility that he could have changed by obtaining those abilities . Her feelings towards him wouldn’t have changed in either case, but if she were to choose between him changing or not changing, Saya will probably choose the latter . As Saya muttered in a low voice while reminiscing the time he saved her from the desperate and hopeless situations, Lina got curious about a certain something in Karen and asked her .

“By the way, Karen-dono . You sometimes refer to Kamiya Yato as onii-chan; why don’t you call him that way directly?”

“Impossible . ” (ED: Tsundere Mode activated . )

Karen immediately replied to Lina’s sudden question with a firm denial . Her unbelievably rapid reaction was quite suspicious, pushing Lina to investigate it further .

“W-Why not?”

“When I call him that way he gets too high of himself and asks me to say it again... I don’t like that . ”

Karen answered timidly while averting her eyes . It was obvious that she was trying to hide the true reason by giving an appropriate answer . Believing in her intuition, Lina looked for another way to make Karen speak out that reason, however, her plans came to be unnecessary once Saya divulged everything .

“She is just embarrassed to call him onii-chan . ”

“S-Saya-chan!?”

Karen flustered from having her little secret divulged by Saya who added: “this is my payback for that time on the beach” while revealing a mischievous smile . Hearing the word “payback” Karen could only groan in return .

“Why would you feel embarrassed? If I were you, I’d call him onii-chan whenever I feel like doing so . ”

“That’s literally impossible!”

It was matter beyond the knowledge of people who don’t have siblings . All that Karen could do at that time is to deny Lina’s nonchalant suggestion in a way to end the conversation . She also kept glaring at Lina with a threatening attitude, totally different from her usual cold expression . Lina who lost her words by receiving that glare tranquilized the mood with an ambiguous assent .

“I-I see...”

This time, Karen threw a question at Lina as a revenge for making her go through an embarrassing moment .

“Well then, why do you add ‘dono’ when you call me and Saya-chan?”

(ED: Normally ‘dono’ is used for someone that you respect and is a higher rank than you . It is similar to that of ‘sama’ . )

Hearing that question, Saya expressed her curiosity about the topic too and urged Lina for an answer . Lina got a bit confused at first, but she eventually answered after thinking about it for a few seconds .

“W-Well they say that good manners are even required between friends...”

“Even though you call Yato-kun and Sara-san normally?”

“Sara is more like my coworker and Kamiya Yato is my observation target . Both of them are a little bit different to be called as friends . ”

Saya doubted the fact that Yato was simply a target for Lina, but she decided to keep that doubt for now .

“Then just call us normally too from now on . Right Karen-chan?”

“Why not?”

She then made a proposal to her while smiling cheerfully . Karen agreed with Saya too when she was asked . The only thing was that Lina didn’t seem into calling the both of them without honorifics .

“Well, I don’t think...”

She probably felt somewhat awkward from changing the way she used to call them this late in the game . As she kept making a reluctant face, Saya encouraged her with a little request .

“We want to get along with you even more, Lina-chan . So please . ”

Getting along even more . It was no longer possible for Lina to refuse such a request . Both her heart and her serious personality didn’t allow her to say no .

“I get it . I will call the both of you as Saya and Karen . ”

“Okay!”

“Sure . ”

Hearing their names pronounced normally by Lina, Saya and Karen responded happily . Sensing that they have gotten a bit closer to each other with this step, the three girls giggled ‘fufufu” for a while before a sudden guest barged inside the apartment .

“Good evening, everyone, Desu!”

Suddenly, a high pitched voice sounded from Saya’s phone; a voice belonging to a little girl . Shifting her eyes to the phone, she found Meru who was supposed to have spent her day with Yato standing there with a bright smile .

“Meru-chan? How was your day?”

“It went great, Desu! I was able to witness the astounded face of master!”

Maru replied to Saya’s question with a thrilled voice . In the night when her plan of going out with Yato was decided, Meru came and secretly asked them for their advice . The girls were confused to see her appearing inside their usual chat application at first, but they helped her out by giving her advice right away . Tonight, the four of them rejoiced about the success of their plan .

“I’m glad everything went alright . ”

“With this, he should start paying attention to what he says in the future . ”

“Serves him right . ”

The other day, Yato led Meru to misunderstand his feelings in the worse possible shape . The day these girls knew about it, they decided to make him feel guilty for what he did by preparing a plan . They were slightly surprised to have coincided with the both of them today, but things seemed to have gone alright .

“Hey, Meru-chan . Care to have a pleasant chat with us tonight?”

“Chat, Desu?”

“Yes, like discussing why Karen-chan doesn’t call Yato-kun as onii-chan . ”

“You’re bringing back that topic again?!”

Seeing Karen’s unusual reaction, Meru became interested and accepted Saya’s invitation .

“This appears to be interesting, Desu! Please let me participate, Desu!”

“Okay! Let’s have fun . ”

“Saya-chan, you’re looking pretty scary right now...”

“That’s also included in her revenge for the other day, give it up . ”

While Meru and Saya were getting excited about the night, Karen felt dejected and Lina comforted her . The saying of ‘a girl’s grudge is frightening’ is true, after all . Even Yato must be thinking the same thing by now . Yato and Karen; both of these siblings were reflecting on the same thing tonight .

“I shouldn’t have done that . ”

“Alright then, let’s ask her . ”

“Yes, Desu!”

Saya and Meru were getting over-excited about this topic . No one could tell when they will calm down . The night for Saya, Lina, Karen, and Meru was still long .

Bonus

Airhead .

“I shouldn’t have said that...”

“What’s wrong, chief?”

“Rouga, do you think I’m an airhead?”

“Yes, I do~ what are you saying this late~?”

“You should have denied it here...”
