By the way, um Anos Can I ask you something? Sasha asked timidly.

What is it? (Anos)

So, um Did I say anything weird? (Sasha)

Since I couldnt grasp the point of her question, she immediately explained.

S-So I was dreaming I was dreaming, but Right, it was a weird dream, so I was wondering if I hadnt said anything weird in the middle of it. (Sasha)

Well, you were indeed saying a lot of gibberish, then you grumbled about not waking up unless I held you. So this is how I woke you up. (Anos)

Sasha looked relieved, then she tilted her head.

Actually, what made you think that I wanted you to pick me up when I asked you to hold me? Im not a child (Sasha)

As soon as she blurted that out without thinking, Sashas mouth fell wide open, and made a face as if she had fallen into a crisis.

Like she had just dug her own grave.

I didnt think it was all sleep talk. I was so sure that this was how you wanted me to wake you up, but who wouldve thought this was all because of your dream. (Anos)

R-Right! Like you said! A dream! It was all because I was dreaming! Well, not that it was relevant in any way. None at all. By the way (Sasha)

What were you dreaming about? (Anos)

Sasha was at a loss for words.

Eh? Umm Well (Sasha)

It mustve been a really nice dream. You were making quite a happy face. (Sasha)

Sasha turned bright red and looked away.

Y-Yeah It was a nice dream (Sasha)

And you were calling my name. Was I in your dream too? (Anos)

Sasha clutched my sleeve.

You were (Sasha)

What was I doing in it? (Anos)

W-What?! Sasha shouted in surprise.

Whats wrong? (Anos)

Nothing (Sasha)

I stared at her and noticed her forlorn expression.

Hmm. It seems Ive asked too much. I guess there are some things youd rather not share. Then I wont ask any further. (Anos)

Ah (Sasha)

When I tried to put Sasha down, she clutched my sleeve, as if she didnt want me to put her down.

You were she muttered.

Hm? (Anos)

You were carrying me. Just like this. (Sasha)

When I heard that, I laughed aloud and ruffled her untied golden hair.

Thats what you were so stubbornly keeping to yourself? Youre still such a child. (Anos)

Sh-Shut up! Who cares, honestly! (Sasha)

Sasha clung to me tightly.

Misha giggled at the sight.

Jeez, what are you laughing at, Misha? (Sasha)

Im just glad to see you happy, Sasha. (Misha)

Sasha looked a bit awkward from hearing that.

Khahaha! I can never tell for sure which one of you is the older sister. (Anos)

Sasha is the older one. (Misha)

Then you should try to act a bit more like a younger sister, Misha. (Sasha)

Misha tilted her head.

How do I do that? (Misha)

However you can. Like by being lazier than me. (Sasha)

Misha froze on the spot, as if she didnt know how to respond.

But then she seemed to realize something, and spoke up.

Being born second already makes me lazy. (Misha)

Sure you dont mean sassy?! (Sasha)

That was a sharp retort.

Urgh, whatever. (Sasha)

Sasha was kicking the air, so I put her down on the floor.

Then she drew a magic circle at her feet.

When it went up over her head, her negligee turned into the black uniform of the Demon King Academy.

Sasha finished changing in an instant.

Thats a problem. Misha said while looking up at me.

Apparently, she was bothered by Sasha telling her that she didnt act much like a younger sister.

Well, I dont think this is anything to worry about. (Anos)

It still bothers me (Misha)

In that case, why not try to be a little selfish every now and then? (Anos)

Selfish? (Misha)

Maybe youll be more like a younger sister that way. (Anos)

Misha thought about it, then spoke to Sasha.

Im sad. (Misha)

Wh-Whats wrong, all of a sudden? (Sasha)

Sasha came closer to Misha, looking worried.

Im sad that Anos wont go to class anymore. (Misha)

Ah Sasha exclaimed, as if she had just caught on.

Right. He wont Thats a good point. But to begin with, now that the truth about him being the Demon KIng of Tyranny has reached all of Dilhade, there would be a huge commotion if he went to class. (Sasha)

Nh (Misha)

I also feel sad about it, but It cant be helped. Sasha said, casually taking Mishas hand.

I feel sad for Anos too. (Misha)

For Anos? (Sasha)

Sasha turned her curious gaze toward me.

But hes already proven that he was the Demon King of Tyranny, so he doesnt really have any reason to attend class anymore, right? Sasha asked.

Not necessarily. There was never much reason for me to attend school, but those boring classes werent so bad. And I got to take them with you guys. (Anos)

Sashas face broke into a happy smile.

I-Is that so? Then I guess being finally recognized as the Demon KIng of Tyranny also has its downsides, huh (Sasha)

Misha nodded a bit sadly to that.

Come on, dont be so downhearted. Ive been making all sorts of arrangements, which all came together today. (Anos)

Eh? Umm Wait a minute. What are you talking about? (Sasha)

The two of them gave me puzzled looks.

Im talking about me attending the Demon King Academy once again, of course. (Anos)

HUH?! Sasha shouted, as if I had said something absurd.
