Kuro promised to stop attacking Illya. Illya can also stop worrying about an assassin on her tail.
Also, they got to know Kuro a little better.
She is Illyaâs other personality given form by the powers of the Archer Card.
Naturally, they still had questions for her.
Why was she there as an alternate personality to Illyaâs?
She also seemed to know a few individuals who decided her fate before she was born, suggesting she knew more than she let on.
She also told everyone about how she was sealed in Illya.
As Kuro didnât want to continue the conversation, they stopped questioning her.
Illyaâs background seemed to have more details that Kuro omitted from them. In any case, he is sure Illya isnât just a normal student.
Rin and Luvia said they would investigate. Meanwhile, Illya went home thinking about her circumstances and current outlook. Miyu also looked like she had some thoughts on the matter but she went home too.
Kuroâs appearance turned their lives upside down.
No, it isnât just them. Wu Yan is going to have a rough time too.
The reason?
WellâŠ
âI am sleeping with Onii-chan, just the two of us !â
She declared to Hinagiku, Mikoto, and Wu Yan who promptly turned to statues.
âSharing the same room?â
Mikoto chuckled awkwardly.
âIsnât that inappropriate?â
âYeahâŠâ
Hinagiku tried to advise Kuro against that idea.
âKuro. Youâre a girl, as an eleven-year-old girl, you should think twice about sleeping in the same room as a lolic-, I mean, a guyâŠâ
âYou were going to label me a lolicon, werenât you?â
Wu Yanâs lip twitched.
âOnee-chan⊠I have my reasons.â
Kuro-chan fidgeted despite Hinagiku and Mikotoâs kind-hearted advice.
âI need mana to live. I donât know when I might need to resupply. What will I do if I suddenly need mana resupply and Onii-chan isnât near me?â
Kuro-chan sighed, there was a hint of impish light in her eyes.
âOnee-chan, do you want to see me disappear?â
âNo, itâs not like thatâŠâ
Hinagiku and Mikoto couldnât laugh this off.
âYou said you needed to resupply, that meansâŠâ
âYes!â
Kuro touched her lips while blushing.
âI will need to get up close and friendlier with Onii-chanâŠâ
Wu Yan heard something break within him. He was trying to assimilate himself with the environment, he was so close to becoming one with nature too.
Hinagiku and Mikoto turned into statues again.
âTo liveâŠâ
Kuro explained.
âOr, are the two lovely ladies who are suspiciously close to their âOnii-chanâ afraid of little olâ me?â
What do you think?!
You were so aggressive when you slipped your tongue into our man. And, you look like youâre a minx too, who wouldnât be afraid of you?!
Hinagiku and Mikoto had to rein their righteous fury.
Kuro-chan had the logical high ground here. She might run out of mana at night. If no oneâs around then she might even fade from existence.
The two ladies didnât want to risk Kuroâs death because of their emotions.
But, they were still reluctant.
They were so hung up on the idea that they didnât even consider that Kuro could refill her mana first before sleeping. That would have minimized if not outright eliminate the risk of a mana exhaustion event during the night.
Wu Yanâs mana can give her enough power to stay in this plane of existence for weeks, much less a single night.
Plus, she could extract mana from other people too. Hinagiku and Mikoto could supply mana as well.
No, they were bamboozled by the fast-talking Chloe.
âAh, fine!â
Mikoto roared.
âSuit yourself!â
âYanâŠâ
Hinagiku turned toward him with a radiant, beautiful, but dangerous smile like that of a thorny rose.
âKeep your you-know-what in your pants, sheâs a kid , you hear me?â
âAhâŠâ
Wu Yan sighed.
âYou think I would put my hands on her?â
âYou better donâtâŠâ
Hinagiku and Mikoto left after cautioning him again.
âAra araâŠâ
Kuro enjoyed that very much. She was flailing her legs around on the sofa.
âThose two ladies were so jealousâŠâ
âWhose fault do you think it is?â
He asked begrudgingly.
âAnyway, how long does a typical mana recharge cycle last?â
âI donât knowâŠâ
Kuro shook her head.
âI took my magic circuits from Illya and I canât store much. I reckon the kiss just now can keep me going for weeks at a time. Other people canât do that though.â
âYou canât produce mana on your own, huh?â
He nodded.
âThen, you used the magic power you stole to fight?â
Kuro nodded.
âOkay, how long can you last without fighting?â
âI know where youâre going with thisâŠâ
Kuro explained.
âI expend mana just by being here. My mana will be sapped regardless of usage during fights.â
âRight now, you could call my existence a miracleâŠâ
The air turned still.
Wu Yan also gave her the time to collect her thoughts.
Then, she wrapped her arms around his neck before straddling him on the sofa.
âA normal resupply would give me a few days at most, assuming I donât fight. But, now, I just found the Holy GrailâŠâ
Kuro grinned while looking into his eyes. She was also blushing.
âYour magic power, the volume, the density, and your regen, I can live forever with you aroundâŠâ
âThatâs why, Onii-chanâŠâ
She pulled Wu Yanâs head closer.
âDonât leave me, okay?â
The sound of lips smacking formed a lewd cacophony against the backdrop of wet slurping sounds.
