Troublesome Big Sister

Yuuki felt very tired since he had to lecture both Kuina and Makoto but both of them didn't even reflect on their actions and smiled happily on the way. He sighed and thought he should go back soon since he had a mandrake in his hand.

Yuuki didn't really want anyone to see that he brought something like this around. He kept it on his pocket dimension secretly.

Kuina went back to Hitotose Dorm while running happily with a bag of cakes on her hands.

Makoto and Yuuki continued to walk back home.

"I am home," Yuuki and Makoto said at the same time.

"Welcome home!" They said at the same time.

"Hmm, it is very rare for you two to go home together," Yukana asked.

"Well, I met Makoto on the way and she gave me quite a surprising gift," Yuuki said mysteriously. He wanted to see the reaction of everyone when they saw Mandrake.

"Gift?" They looked at Makoto at the same time.

Makoto smiled and said, "Yes, it is a rare plant and good for medicines."

Yuuki took a mandrake from his pocket dimension.

Yukana, Utaha, and Ranko moved back when they saw this plant. Shouko was standing still and too afraid to move. They had never seen such a creepy plant in their life before.

"T - this is Mandrake!!" Rossweisse was surprised to see this plant.

"Here, for you," Yuuki gave it to her.

Rossweisse accepted it, "Is this okay? This is very expensive, you know." She remembered this thing was priceless since it could be used for anything.

"Yes, I don't know how to handle this plant," Yuuki said.

Rossweisse nodded and accepted it, "Then I will make the medicine of it." She was very knowledgeable about magic and alchemy. To handle this plant was an easy task for her.

"Well, Makoto can we talk for a bit?" Yuuki asked.

"Sure," Makoto nodded.

"Can you tell me, how many people know you're a witch?" Yuuki asked.

"Hmm, only everyone is in here," Makoto said.

Yuuki felt relieved when he heard her answer, "Thank god, you don't flaunt that you're a witch, right?"

Makoto shook her head, "No, my big sister told me not to show my magic to a stranger."

"Good, don't do it okay," Yuuki said. He didn't want troublesome things to happen around his life. He had enough of Khaos Brigade, The Black Organization, and Conan. He didn't want another troublesome thing to happen again.

"Okay!! Don't worry, I know how to handle a secret!!" Makoto said with a smile.

Yuuki didn't really mind for everyone in Hitotose Group to know since now or later they would know about it. They would have a lot of contact with him and it was inevitable for them to know about it. He thought for a while and asked, "You have a big sister?"

"Of course, my big sister is a very powerful witch, she is also one of the leaders of the Witch Association!" Makoto started to tell him about how powerful her big sister was.

Rossweisse was also interested in this conversation, "Who is your big sister?" She was still holding a Mandrake in her hands.

Utaha, Ranko, Yukana, and Shouko also started to calm down and observed the Mandrake from a close distance. They would have never thought such a strange plant would have such an incredible benefit for everyone. But they decided not to consume it when they looked at the strange shape of this plant. They felt like they would be cursed when they consumed it.

"Her name is Akane Kowata," Makoto said.

Rossweisse was stunned when she heard the name of her big sister and she shouted, "AKENE KOWATA!!!!"

Everyone looked at her with a confused expression. They had never seen Rossweisse with this kind of expression before.

"What's wrong, Rossweisse? Do you have a grudge with her or something?" Yuuki asked. He didn't really know the personality of Makoto's big sister but he was sure her big sister must be very bad since she could even make Rossweisse became angry.

"What's wrong, Rossweisse?" Makoto was also startled.

"Ughh... Sorry, I just remembered something bad about it in the past," Rossweisse said.

"Do you know her or something?" Utaha asked.

"Well, she was an exchange student before in my magician academy, she was also my roommate," Rossweisse said.

"Then aren't you a friend?" Ranko asked.

"Well, she always makes a bizarre magic and makes me become her geniue pig! Every time, I told her to stop, she still did it whenever I slept and made a mess everywhere, she had even changed me into an animal before, Ugh... Remembering it gave me a headache," Rossweisse said while holding her head with both of her hands.

"I am sorry about my big sister," Makoto said. She knew her big sister personality well and her hobby was to make bizarre and strange magic. She didn't expect to meet the victim of her big sister and that person was the one who had lived with her for a few days.

"Don't worry about it," Rossweisse said with a tired expression. She was still a gloomy expression until someone pressed a can of beer on her cheek.

"Here is a beer, let me accompany you today, let's have fun tonight," Yuuki said with a gentle smile.

Rossweisse started to sob and took the can of beer from his hand. She opened the can and drank it one gulp. Her cheek started to redden and she took another can of beer, "Let me tell you my story in magician academy...."

Yuuki listened to her story and complained while drinking with her. He felt that Makoto's big sister was very troublesome and he didn't really want her to stay in his home.

Cocoa plantation in Ghana, there was a woman who took a cocoa fruit from the tree.

"Hmm, I am sure this will become a good souvenir," the woman looked at the sky and said, "Makoto, I will visit you!"
