Progress
Normally, when Felisiana says in a vacant gaze and emotionless voice that she will take someone’s life, one would feel fear. Yet Elizalina showed no such reaction at all and instead spoke in her usual tone while pretending to hide her body.
“Even if you are my real little sister, having you see me naked is just too embarrassing for your big sister~!”
“So, in other words, you wish for me to take your life right now… However, you must be prepared to suffer.”
When Felisiana declared this, Elizalina stopped her exaggerated attempts to hide her body, held a towel to cover only the bare minimum, and spoke.
“Oh, come on. There’s no way you could kill me, or even wound me, in a place like this, right? If I tell Lux I’ve finished changing, he’ll come out here.”
For several other reasons as well, she judged the possibility of such a thing happening here to be reduced to the extreme.
“If that is what you think, then I don’t mind.”
“…Well then, I’ll answer. You asked what I did with Lux in this bath, right?”
Restating Felisiana’s question, she then proceeded to answer it.
“There’s lots, but for example, I pressed my chest directly against Lux’s back and gently washed his front for him like that~”
Hearing this, Felisiana thrust her sword right next to Elizalina’s face.
Yet Elizalina, meeting Felisiana’s vacant eyes, let her own eyes become equally vacant as she spoke.
“Weren’t you supposed to be taking my life? You’re off track.”
“…”
If this had been a place convenient for Felisiana, perhaps she truly might have taken Elizalina’s life. But Elizalina, now certain that such a thing could not be done here, said so aloud.
Even if she would not actually kill her, the fact that she did not lower her sword was more than enough to convey her murderous intent.
Elizalina then dropped the vacant gaze and spoke brightly.
“I think you’ve misunderstood, but when I said his front, I didn’t mean down there. I only meant his torso and stomach, you know?”
“I see… but even so, it is still unforgivable enough.”
“But there’s nothing you can do about it here, right?”
At those words, Felisiana dropped the vacant gaze and asked.
“…So it really was only that much, Elizalina-nee-sama? You did not deceive Lux-kun and go any further than that?”
“Haa, of course not. Just so you know, I really do love Lux… so of course I do want to go further someday, but there’s no way even I could trick such a pure and dear Lux into something like that.”
“…Very well. For matters like that, it will be more reliable to see Lux-kun’s reactions than to ask you, Elizalina-nee-sama.”
Saying this, Felisiana lowered her sword.
It may indeed be true that Lux’s reactions would be more reliable, but if she had truly not trusted Elizalina’s words, she would not have lowered her sword here.
The fact that she did lower it meant that whether through insight, a sense shared only between sisters, or trust, for now she chose to believe Elizalina’s words.
“Ah~! To think my little sister would suddenly point a sword at me, that really gave me such a shock~! So scary!!”
“…If you have time to say such things, why don’t you hurry and put your clothes on.”
“Eeh~? But Felisiana, don’t you want to keep looking at my body a little longer too?”
“Why would I ever want to look at Elizalina-nee-sama’s body of all things.”
“Ah~! That reminds me, speaking of my body, when I pressed my chest directly against Lux, he made such an adorable reaction, you know?”
“Tch…!”
Hearing that, Felisiana’s eyes widened, but Elizalina, fully aware of it, continued.
“His face and ears turned all red, and he was clearly conscious of my chest, right? Even though normally he doesn’t seem interested in things like that, in moments like those he does pay attention, and that cute gap is just the best~!”
“Tch! I already know that without you telling me! And unlike you, Elizalina-nee-sama, I have hugged Lux-kun directly from the front without clothes on!”
“Eh, no way!?”
At such an utterly unexpected remark, Elizalina let out a cry of surprise.
In response, Felisiana added further explanation.
“It’s true… though right afterward Lux-kun immediately lost consciousness… Even so, my relationship with him has progressed further than yours!”
“If he lost consciousness right away, doesn’t that mean I’ve gone further?”
“No, if you look at the facts, I’ve gone further.”
“I’m the one who’s gone further!”
“That’s not true!”
“It is!”
After that, the two of them continued for a while, quarreling over which of them had progressed further with Lux.
From the shadows of the changing room where their quarrel was taking place, Violet watched over the two of them with a somewhat gentle expression.
