107 – Everyday life
“…Mmm.”
The day after escaping from the base of Dominating Hands and coming to Lumia’s house.
“…….”
When I open my eyes and wake up, an awkward landscape comes into my field of vision.
“…What is this place?”
Obviously, I would have fallen asleep with Pandora during the pre-show.
Why are you lying in bed?
“…Senior.”
I was staring blankly at the ceiling while thinking about that, but I heard a familiar voice from the side.
“Good morning.”
Involuntarily looking at the place where the voice came from, Rumia, who was lying next to me, whispered that with a bright smile.
“f*ck, I’m surprised.”
“…Ugh.”
In the moment of goosebumps, I unknowingly picked up the pillow she was holding on to and inserted it into her face.
“What, why are you here?”
“…….”
“No, why am I here?”
I hurriedly rolled to the side and got under the bed, only then did I realize that I was sleeping on the bed in Rumia’s room.
“Of course I brought the sleeping senior on my back.”
“…What?”
What are you talking about now?
So you’re saying that she brought me here while I was sleeping with Pandora in the living room?
“It’s really cold in the living room. I fell asleep there twice and caught a cold.”
“………”
“Actually, it’s cold in my room, too. So I was warming myself up next to you.”
“…You mean she held me next to me all the time I slept?”
“To be precise, it’s a back hug. Even while sleeping, they always guided me forward.”
When the haze of just waking up goes away, chills start to run down your spine. Is he talking sanely?
“Why are you making that face, senpai?”
“Because a boy who has been thinking of me as a man for years has come forward, and I have a physiological reluctance to do so.”
“…But a woman?”
“Hmm…”
Hearing her words, I opened my eyes and began to look at her sitting on her bed, but she doesn’t look like a woman at all.
Is it because I’ve known him as a man for a long time?
Even if you look at the past and personal feelings, it just looks like an unlucky parasitic brother.
“…It’s too much for a woman’s eyes, senpai.”
“I’m sure you’re misunderstanding, but I’m the one who took your whole life away from you?”
“That’s right. So please kill me right now.”
However, no matter how much I stared at the guy who kept begging me to kill him whenever I had a chance, I didn’t feel like killing myself.
“…I think that would be a bit difficult.”
“Why? If you kill me here, you can disguise yourself as a lonely death. Or if you put the corpse in a warehouse, you can use it as a base for the time being.”
“…….”
“Honestly, you want to kill me right away. I am the culprit who ruined your whole life. But why don’t you kill me?”
When I answered that way, she asked back with a frustrated expression.
“It’s not exactly you, but the personality inside you must be the culprit.”
“………”
“…Killing you doesn’t mean anything.”
I looked at her for a while and muttered that while quietly adjusting her clothes.
“But, if you kill me, that personality will die too.”
“The moment you die is not a guy.”
“…What does that matter?”
However, behind me as I was about to leave the room, a persistent voice resonated all the way.
“Maybe.”
“…….”
“Have you ever thought that I’m playing multiple personalities?”
I flinched for a moment at that creepy voice, then sighed and started to move on.
“…Huh, I guess you were suspicious?”
As he said, the reason I agreed to Rumia’s proposal and entered this place, which was no different from a tiger’s den, was to hide her body, of course, but also to get information about her.
It’s a relationship that has been confrontational with her for the past few years, but I don’t know too much about her.
I wonder if the attitude that guy is showing right now is acting or sincerity, whether his personality really split in two in the first place, and if so, at what point?
All of those factors will determine her treatment.
“Ah~ I want to die from being strangled by Kang Ha-neul~”

Now that there is only information that either personality has a certain taste, there will be no choice but to stay together and gradually increase the information even if it is uncomfortable.
And the moment the information becomes clear, I will make a decision.
Whether to remove only one personality, or both.
“Even if I am forcibly slaughtered, I can die happily~”
“…Well.”
After clearing my mind and ignoring the crazy sounds coming from behind, I step outside, and for some reason a salty scene comes into my eyes.
– Tumbling…
Left alone in the living room because Rumia bossed me around in the middle of the night, Pandora was sleeping soundly, hugging a cat cushion and shaking her body.
“Hey.”
She looked so pitiful that I approached her cautiously.
“……Hmm.”
I was about to grab her by the shoulders and shake her to wake her up. Suddenly, out of curiosity, I poked her side with my finger.
It didn’t mean anything else, she just wondered if she didn’t voice the name Pandora even when she was attacked unexpectedly.
“….! ……!!!”
As my fingers pierced her soft side, she twitched all over her body as if she had been electrified, then lifted her feet and began to tremble.
– Farr Leur…
“…….?”
Then she finally opens her eyes and wakes up from her slumber, and she starts tilting her head, frozen as if her brain had a glitch.
– Cook…!
“……!?!?”
After watching her, Pandora poked her side with her finger again, and Pandora turned her body over again with her eyes wide open.
＞ What???????
＞ You want to fight???
Looking down at her like that, I raised her finger once again, and she hurriedly ran behind her sofa and hid, sending her voice message with her drone.
– Slap, slap…
The smaller drones that flew in from behind start punishing me with a torso slam.
“Poop.”
In such a situation, for some reason, laughter burst out.
“Puheh…”
＞ Funny??
＞ Are you waking yourself up and laughing, the key figure who will revive Dominating Hands? Now??
“Ha ha ha ha…”
I burst into laughter after a long time, and for some reason I headed for the kitchen feeling a bit unrefreshed.
– Knead…
Leaving the door slightly open in her own room, I tried to ignore Rumia, who was watching her situation with her cold eyes, while the bright smile she had shown me just before had disappeared.
“…Mmm.”
“I don’t know what you’re trying to build, but you’d better stop.”
Because the concept of death, waking up early and taking out all the ingredients in the refrigerator, had to stop him from tilting his head in the kitchen and chopping them all up with a knife.
“It’s delicious when it’s all minced, mixed, and baked.”
“…What have you been eating all this time?”
As she muttered that, as she pulled out the knife in her hand, Rumia’s voice, somehow darkened, came from behind her.
“I can serve the rice…”
“………”
“I had a small accident while cooking ramen yesterday, but if you want, I can take it.”
As soon as I heard those words, I looked around for an ominous energy, and when I looked up, I saw the charred ceiling above the gas burner.
“…A small accident?”
“It was just a simple gas explosion accident.”
“While making ramen.”
“………”
I think the time has come to show off my cooking skills after a long time.
.
.

.
.
“…Whoa.”
A few tens of minutes later.
＞ Are you good at cooking???
“…Oh.”
When Kang Ha-neul, wearing a tattered apron, brings a simple American breakfast with the ingredients brought out by the concept of death, the three girls sitting around the table open their eyes wide before they know it.
＞ But isn’t that too much for breakfast?
“…I need to eat a lot in the morning to gain strength.”
＞ Yes, but…
For your information, it was simply ‘the standard of the river sky’, so the food on the plate was piled up in layers.
“Senior, don’t we look like newlyweds?”
“………”
“Why don’t we get married at this point? I’ll earn the money…”
“…Shut up.”
“Yes.”
Rumia, who had been eating instant ramen and frozen food, murmured with an ecstatic expression on her face and listened to Kang Ha-neul’s voice and quietly opened her spoon.
“…So, what are you going to do now?”
“Don’t talk with food in your mouth.”
In the middle of that sound, Kang Ha-neul, who was pretending to be happy, frowned at Rumia’s question and said.
‘…I’ll have to stay here for a while and see how the hostile forces come out.’
Then, Kang Ha-neul quietly lowers his head and is deep in thought.
‘And since I have a new goal…’
Kang Ha-neul, who had been silently blinking his eyes in that state, spoke to Pandora, who was secretly picking out beans from the plate in front of him.
“Pandora.”
＞ mmm?
“Can you give me some information about the third granddaughter of Shinwa Group?”
However, when she heard that, instead of answering her, she opened her mouth wide with a startled look on her face.
“…Pandora?”
It was at that moment when Kang Ha-neul tilted her head with a puzzled expression on her reaction.
– Ikki…
The front door suddenly opened quietly, and someone stepped inside.
“…..Ah.”
Right away, Kang Ha-neul stood up with a serious expression on his face, and then quietly froze.
“………”
Ariel Everleigh, who had just entered the house and had been wearing a torn hero costume until then, was looking at him with an expressionless expression.
