"Sister Mira, she…"
Lisanna stood frozen, eyes wide as she looked at the undeniable charm radiating from Mira.
And then...
Her brain finally clicked.
The two had clearly walked out of the same room, their hair was still damp from a recent shower, and… they had disappeared for an entire afternoon.
The realization hit like a bolt of lightning.
There was no way something didn't happen between them.
At this point, you'd have to be a complete idiot not to see it.
"…"
Even though she had mentally prepared herself for this day, Lisanna still felt a subtle bitterness rise in her heart.
She had always known Mira was ahead—stronger, more mature, more charming but now… now that Mira had already gone all the way…
She hadn't even had the chance to confess.
They were sisters, yes.
But this gap? It had never felt so wide.
"Mira…"
Lisanna's voice trembled slightly, but she quickly bit her lip and forced it down.
Mira, of course, wasn't oblivious. She could tell exactly what Lisanna was thinking just by looking into her eyes.
Her expression softened.
"Lisanna, we haven't had a proper heart-to-heart in a long time, have we?" Mira asked gently. "Come chat with me for a bit?"
Her tone was warm. Inviting. Sisterly.
Lisanna hesitated for a moment—then smiled faintly and nodded. "Okay, Sister Mira."
The moment Mira took her by the hand, she glanced back and gave Rain a look.
Take care of dinner yourself.
That look said it all.
"???"
Rain stood in the hallway, completely blanked out.
"…What just happened?"
One minute Mira had been sticking to him like glue. The next? Abandoned like a forgotten side character.
Left in the dust, Rain sighed and muttered to himself, "Guess I'm going out for food then."
As he grabbed his coat and headed for the door, he didn't seem particularly worried.
After all, if there was one thing he knew for certain…
It was how much Mira loved her little sister.
---
After leaving the house, Mira and Lisanna strolled quietly under the evening sky.
But the atmosphere was... unusually heavy.
Lisanna followed silently behind her sister, heart growing more restless with every step. The tension pressed down on her chest like a weight she couldn't shake.
Her thoughts spiraled.
If Sister Mira really asks me to give up…
Would I be able to do it?
She clenched her fists slightly.
Deep down, she knew the answer: No.
She didn't want to walk away. She didn't want to smile from the sidelines and pretend it didn't hurt.
She wanted to stay by Rain's side — to laugh with him, fight with him, fall asleep in the same house.
But she also didn't want to ruin her relationship with Mira.
That was the part tearing her apart.
Maybe… just being near Rain is enough, she thought to herself.
A smile… a shared meal… even if it's not romantic—if I can stay by his side, then maybe that's enough.
A quiet calm settled in her heart.
If this was a trial, she'd face it bravely. Even if it hurt.
…If only she knew what her sister was really thinking.
Meanwhile, in Mira's mind:
I need to find more demons.
That was her entire train of thought.
No— not to form some girl gang for Rain's pleasure.
Not to recruit beautiful demon women to his side.
No.
To become them.
That's right. I need to hunt down powerful, exotic demonesses... and absorb them into my Take Over magic.
The sexier and rarer, the better.
Mira's eyes glinted with resolve.
Wings, horns, tails, dark flames, silky skin, cursed eyes, sharp claws — the works.
She was already imagining it.
Transforming into all kinds of dangerous demon temptresses — succubus-type, dark elf queen, flame-winged vixens — and then casually walking past Rain like it was no big deal.
He would be all over me.
The thought alone made her cheeks pink and her heart race.
Her mission was clear:
Track them. Defeat them. Absorb them.
"If I can be every type of demon Rain secretly fantasizes about… how can I ever lose?"
So while Lisanna was nervously preparing for a heart-to-heart about love, Mira was planning a tactical transformation-based seduction campaign using demon Take Over magic.
In short:
Two sisters. Same man. Very different strategies.
Eventually, they arrived at a cozy restaurant and sat down.
The silence lingered between them.
After the waiter left, Mira looked across the table, her tone calm… but serious.
"Lisanna," she said softly, "you like Rain too, don't you?"
Lisanna's heart skipped.
But she didn't flinch.
She looked up, met her sister's gaze, and nodded.
"Yes, Sister Mira. I do."
Lisanna, who had already made up her mind, no longer carried any trace of hesitation or anxiety. Instead, her expression was calm. Composed.
Resolved.
"…Why?"
Mira blinked, staring at her sister's serene face.
Something about Lisanna's reaction threw her off.
There was no bitterness. No defiance.
Not even sadness.
Just calm, unwavering acceptance.
"…Don't worry, Sister Mira."
Lisanna spoke softly, her voice clear and steady.
"Although I like Brother Rain… I won't compete with you. I won't try to take him from you. I won't even show it."
She looked Mira in the eyes — no tears, just sincerity.
"I only hope you'll allow me… to stay by his side. That's all I ask. Please, just let me be near him. That's enough for me."
Her earlier indifference melted away into a quiet plea.
Her words weren't loud, but they carried the weight of a heart willing to love in silence.
"Lisanna…" Mira's chest tightened. She hadn't expected this.
Seeing her little sister — someone so gentle, so kind — lower her pride like this...
"…Is this really worth it?" she asked, a trace of heaviness clouding her tone.
Lisanna didn't answer directly.
Instead, she lowered her head slightly and asked again — this time more gently, more earnestly.
"…May I, Sister Mira?"
It wasn't about winning or losing to her.
It wasn't even about being chosen.
She just wanted Mira's permission.
Her recognition.
That was enough.
Mira let out a long breath. Her expression softened, eyes holding a trace of helplessness.
She knew Lisanna too well.
Her sister might look soft on the outside…
But once she made a decision?
She was stubborn to the core.
"…You don't have to beg like this, Lisanna."
Mira stepped forward and gently helped her up from her seat.
Looking at her, Mira felt a mix of frustration and affection. She raised a hand and ruffled Lisanna's hair with a sigh.
"Really now… what on earth did Rain do to make you fall for him this hard?"
Lisanna smiled faintly, her voice quiet.
"…No, Brother Rain didn't do anything."
She wanted to explain more — to say it was all her. That these feelings were born naturally, without Rain even realizing it.
But before she could speak—
"Enough," Mira interrupted, a small smile tugging at her lips.
"I get it."
She took a breath, then looked Lisanna straight in the eyes.
"Alright. I agree."
"…Eh?"
Lisanna blinked, startled.
"…Wait, really? I'm not imagining this, right?"
That was… way too smooth.
