Very Cute

“O-ha-yo-u O-nii-chan!”

The next day, Emma-chan came to visit my room early in the morning.

He had promised to go with me today, and it seemed that he could not wait to meet me.

I was a little worried when I heard that she was sulking and asleep last night, but judging from her behavior, my fears were unfounded.

Little kids change their minds quickly, so maybe they just go to bed and forget about it.

“O-ha-yo-u”

I greeted her slowly, just like Emma-chan did.

Then she smiled at me, looking very happy.

“Ngh..”

As I was calmed down by Emma-chan's sweet smile, she opened her hands and looked at me.

This is Emma-chan's signal for me to hug her.

I've learned to do this ever since she asked me to hug her every time we met.

I wrapped my hand around Emma-chan's little body and lifted her up tightly, making sure not to drop her.

“Ehehe~, Onii-chan~!”

I hugged her as she asked, and she gave me a sweet little peck on the cheek.

This girl really likes to be hugged, doesn't she?

She was always in a good mood every time I hugged her, so I guess she liked being pampered like this.

Well, I'm happy, so no problem at all.

More importantly, what happened to Charlotte-san?

Looks like she wasn't there when Emma-chan came here…

“Hei, Emma-chan. What happened to Charlotte-san?”

I wondered why her older sister, who usually follows her younger sister, wasn't here, so I asked Emma-chan, who was still rubbing her cheeks at me.

"Hmm…? Lottie, you know, she's staring into the mirror.”

"Look in the mirror?"

What's up with that?

Charlotte-san, what are you doing yourself…?

"Yes! That's why Emma's alone!”

Emma-chan said proudly, as if praising and praising her.

I think he wants me to praise him for coming here alone.

His pride is funny, but honestly I couldn't praise him more for his safety any time soon.

“Emma-chan is still very young, so don't go out by yourself huh? There's a lot of dangerous stuff outside, you know.”

Emma-chan is too young to go alone, so I warned her not to do it again.

This girl was a stranger, young, and very cute.

If he walked alone, he would become an easy target for strangers.

If she disappeared, Charlotte-san would definitely become depressed.

Above all, I myself would be very surprised.

I don't want it to happen by chance.

"Not good…?"

Maybe Emma-chan was surprised because I had warned her, but she looked at me with teary eyes and looked at me.

Ugh.. This makes me feel so guilty…

It was as if I was oppressing the weak.

But I can't let this look rule me.

I can't let Emma-chan be in danger.

“Yes can't, it's dangerous. If you want to go out, you should go with Charlotte-san or your parents, okay?”

“Mouu~... okay..”.

Emma-chan nods her head, even though she seems unhappy.

She's a good girl, she listens well despite her young age.

“Well, now, Emma-chan is a good girl.”

“Ehehe~”

As I gently patted her on the head and praised her, the teary-eyed expression of Emma-chan turned into a smile.

He must be a child in this aspect.

*ding dong.

When I pat Emma on the head, the intercom rings.

It was probably Charlotte-san's arrival.

“Ah, I know it...!”

I went out with Emma-chan in my arms, and as expected, Charlotte-san was at the door.

Her cheeks are puffy and she looks angry, probably because Emma-chan came to my house alone.

It's only natural that you find yourself without your little sister at home.

But more than that― Charlotte-san is very cute…

She wore black clothes on the top and a pink skirt on the bottom.

Despite the fact that both are simple―or rather, due to their simplicity, their charm increases.

The black dress in particular made Charlotte-san's beautiful silver hair look even more attractive.

I was surprised to see her wearing black-based clothes, but it was a perfect fit for her and she looked so cute.

She also looks more mature than usual due to wearing black tights and thin makeup on her face.

I finally understood what Emma-chan meant by “ gazing at mirror”.

Charlotte-san has dressed up to go out with me today.

She may have just dressed up to go out with her friends, but I'm still happy for her.

“Mou~, it's not good! Why do you go alone!"

Charlotte-san pouted at Emma-chan, who was in my arms.

Emma-chan, on the other hand, turns her face away from me.

"It's not my fault Lottie's late!"

“Sorry I kept you waiting, but you can't go alone! We still have an hour before the appointed time!”

“I want to see Onii-chan faster! Emma wants to play with her sister as soon as possible!”

“That's no good, you're going to bother Aoyagi-kun! And you haven't even changed your clothes yet.!”.

The Bennett sisters started arguing with each other, not caring about me.

Well, there is a saying that the more you fight, the better you get along, and with this sister, it is unlikely to turn into a serious quarrel.

I'm sure they'll make up in the end, so I'll let them do what they want here.

As I stared at the two sisters who were still arguing, I thought of my plans for the day with them.

By the way, after this, Emma-chan will be taken home by Charlotte-san and then come out in very cute clothes.
