Yuki made his way to the junior high section and found Kotori's classroom.
Inside Kotori's classroom, besides his adorable younger sister, Yuki also spotted two familiar figures.
He walked in slowly, heading straight towards Kotori.
Kotori, who was chatting with the two girls, noticed Yuki, and her face immediately lit up with joy.
"Onii-chan! Over here, over here!"
Under her white ribbon, Kotori excitedly waved at Yuki.
At Kotori's call, the two girls she was chatting with also turned around.
When they noticed Yuki walking slowly towards them, the brown eyes of the two girls instantly glazed over.
So handsome!
Is this Kotori-chan's brother?!
Such thoughts simultaneously popped into the minds of the two girls in an instant.
Their hearts trembled slightly, and their heartbeats quickened.
Yuki observed the two girls who looked quite similar, with their brown long hair and cute faces.
Standing together, no matter the angle, they looked as if they were cast from the same mold, with very little difference.
In fact, the two girls' relationship was indeed special.
They were twin sisters, one named Azusagawa Kaede and the other named Azusagawa Fuu.
Yes, this pair of twins was precisely from the work Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai; they were the younger sisters of the male protagonist, Azusagawa Sakuta.
However, in this world, after merging with the Date A Live world and others, instead of giving birth to the original male protagonist Azusagawa Sakuta, the Azusagawa family had Azusagawa Kaede and Azusagawa Fuu.
The personality of Azusagawa Fuu, which in the original story emerged due to cyberbullying, was separated here and manifested as a twin.
Although Yuki already knew this, seeing the two of them standing alive in front of him still felt somewhat strange and wonderful.
"Kotori, I'm here to pick you up!"
"Are these two your friends?"
"Hello, I'm Yuki, Kotori's brother."
Yuki smiled and greeted Azusagawa Kaede and Azusagawa Fuu.
When the two saw Yuki's gentle smile, they felt as if their hearts had been directly struck.
"So handsome! So dazzling! It's like he's shining!"
Azusagawa Fuu's eyes gradually became infatuated, and she unconsciously spoke her mind aloud.
Seeing the state of the Azusagawa sisters, Kotori immediately became alert.
She quickly ran in front of Yuki, positioning herself between him and the sisters.
"Onii-chan, I told you! You don't need to come to the classroom to pick me up.Just wait for me at the school gate."
Kotori held Yuki's hand, looking at him with a pitiful, delicate gaze, speaking in an extremely cute manner.
"Hehe, Kotori is so cute. I'm not at ease with you being alone, so of course I have to come to the classroom personally to pick you up!"
Yuki smiled and rubbed Kotori's head.
"Muu~ Onii-chan~~~"
Hearing this, Kotori instantly melted, shyly lowering her head slightly.
Meanwhile, the Azusagawa sisters finally snapped out of their daze.
Especially Azusagawa Fuu—realizing she had spoken her thoughts out loud—felt completely mortified.
"Ah!Yaba, I actually said it out loud!"
Azusagawa Fuu scratched her head, her cheeks slightly blushing.
Azusagawa Kaede beside her gave a helpless smile.
Although the sisters were twins, their personalities were somewhat different.
Azusagawa Kaede's personality was a bit more serious, while Azusagawa Fuu was slightly more carefree and impulsive.
However, they shared a common trait: they were both introverted and a bit shy around strangers.
So they didn't have many friends at school; Kotori was one of their few close ones.
"Hehe, it's nothing.You two are also very cute."
Yuki smiled slightly and complimented them.
"Muu!To be praised... so embarrassing!"
"Kotori's brother, I'm Azusagawa Fuu, and this one here is Azusagawa Kaede."
Beside her, Azusagawa Kaede, with slightly blushing cheeks, gave a slow, slight bow to Yuki.
"We are twin sisters."
"I see, no wonder you both look so adorable."
"Yada! Kotori's brother is too good at giving compliments! It's really embarrassing!"
Azusagawa Fuu covered her face, feeling quite bashful.
Azusagawa Kaede was the same, slowly lowering her head, not daring to meet his gaze.
A faint smile hung on Yuki's lips as he proactively exchanged a few more pleasantries with them.
Seeing this, Kotori on the side immediately grew anxious.
"Alright, Onii-chan, since you're here to pick me up, let's go back!"
Kotori let go of Yuki, quickly packed her things from the desk, then took his hand and walked outside.
"Azusagawa Kaede, Azusagawa Fuu, I'm heading back first! Bye!"
"Uh... oh!"
"Goodbye, Kotori, goodbye, Yuki-onii-san!"
Azusagawa Fuu waved goodbye to Yuki and Kotori.
Azusagawa Kaede also waved, but she froze for a moment upon hearing Azusagawa Fuu call Yuki "onii-san."
It wasn't until the two had walked away that she turned back and asked:
"Yuki-onii-san?"
"What's the problem? Kotori's brother is Yuki-onii-san, right?" Azusagawa Fuu said, spreading her hands.
"And don't you think Yuki-onii-san is quite strange and wonderful?"
"Strange and wonderful?"
Hearing Azusagawa Fuu's words, a look of confusion appeared on Azusagawa Kaede's face.
"Yeah, don't you feel that when facing Yuki-onii-san, we don't have that sense of rejection or fear we usually feel around strangers? Even though it's our first time meeting, it doesn't feel like meeting a stranger at all..."
As Azusagawa Fuu spoke, she lowered her head and slowly placed a hand over her chest.
Actually, she hadn't finished. What she left unsaid was: It gave me a feeling of heart palpitations for the first time.
Azusagawa Kaede thought about it carefully and found it was true.
If they were facing any other outsider, they would have long since hidden away.
They wouldn't dare chat with them for so long.
"And don't you think sometimes having an older brother feels pretty good, little sister?"
Azusagawa Fuu smiled teasingly at Azusagawa Kaede.
Hearing this, Azusagawa Kaede's expression froze.
"You're the younger sister, I'm the older sister."
"Hehe, whatever! Anyway, I'm the older sister, you're the younger sister."
Azusagawa Fuu made a funny face, then picked up her things and ran outside.
Seeing this, Azusagawa Kaede quickly chased after her.
"Don't run! Fuu! We have to settle who's the older sister and who's the younger sister today!"
"No need to settle it! Fuu is the older sister, Kaede is the younger sister!"
"Ahhh! Damn Fuu! Don't run!"
And so, the two sisters played and frolicked all the way, arguing over the topic of who was the older sister and who was the younger sister.
Of course, they had been arguing about this since birth without ever reaching a conclusion.
Neither would yield to the other; both wanted to be the older sister.
So, this argument was, without a doubt, another inconclusive one.
As for Yuki, after leaving the school with Kotori, the two headed towards home.
However, following closely behind them all the way was a little tail.
Both Yuki and Kotori had noticed this.
Because the other party didn't employ any sophisticated tracking techniques at all—it was very simple and unrefined, matching Yuki's pace exactly:you stop, I stop; you walk, I walk.
