Same Routine

Faced with that question by her older cousin, Eimi acted oblivious by simply relishing the feeling of my sturdy back, rubbing her cheeks on it.

Understanding that she wouldn’t get an answer from Eimi, Anzu’s questioning gaze focused on me.

However, her eyes darted around a second later, failing to maintain eye contact with me. I had no idea whether it was because of what happened earlier or what she saw inside Eimi’s room.

In any case, that’s advantageous for us.

Although it was easy to tell her that she had no right to question us, I opted for a peaceful resolution. Besides, she’s the one who didn’t know how to knock on the door before opening it. Sooner or later, she’d understand that point and drop it herself.

This was to prevent the two of them from getting awkward when I leave later.

With that, I quickly came up with a fairly believable excuse, “What are you talking about, onee-san? Eimi checked if I got bug bites from earlier.”
