My daily life with the Shiina sisters

"I see." Seeing that she was unwilling to say, Mahiru stopped asking.

However, when she subconsciously looked at a relatively barren part of the blonde girl's body, she became more convinced of Imagawa Kaede's strange hobby.

The next few people started chatting casually, and soon it was time for the dance.

Most of the waltzes are performed at these dances, such as "The Blue Danube", a masterpiece known as the king of waltzes.

It was probably Mahiru's first time dancing in front of so many people, so she was a little nervous, but the two of them still worked very well together.

What's more, few people pay attention to how the two dance. People are more concerned about the fact that Imagawa Kaede changed her dance partner.

Although everyone took a few glances at Mahiru when she first entered the room, since they knew too little about her, they were also wondering what was so special about her.

Now the two of them stepped out from the corner to the front of the stage, naturally attracting a lot of people's attention.

Although the two people on the dance floor were working together for the first time, they actually danced quite well. This kind of dance is not difficult and it serves more of a social purpose.

When the song ended, everyone began to applaud. The dance of the two was indeed average, but it was enough. Feeling Shiina Mahiru leaning on him and breathing slightly, Imagawa Kaede couldn't help but hug him a little tighter.

Eriri sat in the corner where the two of them had just been, looking at Imagawa Kaede holding Shiina Mahiru with a happy look on her face, she couldn't help but curl her lips and said:

"It looks like she danced pretty well. She didn't even step on his feet."

Soon after, the dinner ended and several people followed Imagawa Mikiko back to the Imagawa family. The two of them did not have to go back to the house in the port area tonight.

Mahiru was brought by Asai to the room where she had stayed several times before. Imagawa Kaede's room was next door. Looking at the bedroom which was much larger than before, Mahiru sat quietly on the bed after washing up. Somehow, she suddenly felt a little chilly.

Tonight here, she doesn't have to do laundry or cook, nor does she have to think about tomorrow's breakfast and lunch boxes, nor does she have to mop the floor or organize some storage, but she still feels a little empty.

Suddenly she wanted to know what would happen after Irie in the TV series and the heroine of the original book got married. Thinking of this, she took out her cell phone and sent a line to Imagawa Kaede.

【I can't sleep.】

Imagawa Kaede was still scrolling through Tik Tok when he suddenly saw a message on Line. He thought it was Eriri asking him to play games, because Imagawa Kaede had praised his Irelia to the extreme at the party before.

But after picking it up, he realized that it was given to him by Mahiru.

Just ask yourself, what does it mean when a girl sends you a message in the middle of the night saying that she can’t sleep?

Ahem, ahem, anyway, I don’t want to sing “Nocturne” with you.

【Are you familiar with your bed? 】

Seeing Imagawa Kaede's reply, Mahiru...

【no. 】

Looking at this short answer, Imagawa Kaede continued typing his reply.

[Then let me chat with you. I won’t sleep until the moon sleeps, and I won’t sleep until Mahiru sleeps. ]

After sending the message, Imagawa Kaede quietly slipped to her door and opened it, only to see Mito Kisaragi walking to the door with a cell phone in her hand.

She was also startled by Imagawa Kaede's sudden visit to the door, "Why are you not sleeping in the middle of the night?"

"Nothing, I'm a little thirsty and want to find something to drink."

Mito Kisaragi naturally wouldn't believe his nonsense: "Haha, children tend to wet the bed if they drink water before going to bed, go back to sleep."

"Uh uh uh, okay." After closing the door, Imagawa Kaede was still unwilling to give up.

[You should go to bed early. You have to do morning exercises tomorrow.] Looking at Mahiru's reply on the phone, he thought about it and decided to reply like this.

[I can't sleep either. It's all because of you, Mahiru. ]

[It has nothing to do with me.] Mahiru lay on the bed, and although she had some guesses in her mind about why he said that, she suddenly wanted to see what Imagawa Kaede would say in response.

[Because I was about to fall asleep, and you suddenly sent me a message, and now I can't fall asleep again. ]

Mahiru thought he would say something disgusting like "I miss you so much that I can't sleep." After all, he's a man who has to search online for what snacks girls like to eat, and even had to rely on the group of military advisors around him for advice when he was pursuing Kaguya Shinomiya. You can't expect him to give a good answer, right?

Of course, she still couldn't see the true nature of Imagawa Kaede.

Perhaps because Imagawa Kaede's answer was too unexpected, Mahiru stopped swinging her legs comfortably and was about to type "Good night. In that case, I'll go to sleep first. You should wait until the moon falls asleep before you go to sleep." on her phone.

Imagawa Kaede saw that the other party above was really typing, so he quickly typed and sent it.

[So Mahiru, you have to compensate me. I'm going to your place now, please chat with me.]

Seeing this, Mahiru deleted the words he had just typed and replied instead.

[Don't come over. I won't open the door for you.]

"It feels bitter." Mahiru lay on her back on the bed, her cell phone having been thrown aside.

When Imagawa Kaede saw the reply, he realized that it was indeed the case. In a situation like this, you can't ask. If you ask, they will definitely not let you in. You should just run over there.

Just imagine, if Mito Kisaragi hadn't stopped him, Mahiru would have most likely let the wolf in when Imagawa Kaede knocked on the door.

[Why?] Mahiru picked up her phone after hearing a buzzing sound.

[No reason. Anyway, don’t come over.]

-The annoying guy requested a video call with you-

Mahiru looked at the video call on her phone and subconsciously answered it.

After the call was connected, looking at Imagawa Kaede who was dressed rather neatly, I suddenly felt that Mahiru had actually grown up. Many nightgowns were very good. The main thing was that the fabrics of those pajamas were better and they were more comfortable to wear to sleep. Yes, that's it, nothing else to say.

"Since you won't let me go, how about not hanging up the phone tonight?"

"Okay, let's go to bed then."

After saying this, Shiina Mahiru lay down and went to sleep, but she still felt her heart beating a little fast.

"Wait a minute, stop, stop, Sidaopu..."

Hearing Imagawa Kaede's suddenly excited voice, she picked up the phone again.

"What's the matter?"

"Do you know why I made a video call instead of a voice call?" Imagawa Kaede said seriously as he looked at Mahiru who reappeared on the screen.

"Why?"

"Because I don't want to sleep looking at the ceiling on my side."

"What do you mean?"

“Someone might think my ceiling is ugly, so she shows me her ceiling.”

Although I felt a little sorry for placing the phone flat on the bed, I thought of Imagawa Kaede's disappointed expression.

Shiina Mahiru directly transferred the video call to voice.

"I understand. I understand that video calls waste some data. Since the ceiling is the same, you should just look at yours."

(Little easter egg: In addition to Chopin's "Nocturne" and Jay's "Nocturne", there is another "Nocturne" which is a hidden music in "Castlevania X: Symphony of the Night". The singer of this song is also named Shiina, called Shiina Biru, and in 1997 he became the first voice actor to set foot in the Nippon Budokan.)
