But that night, she received a large order, and the delivery address seemed strangely familiar to her.

…………

…………

"The pizza hasn't arrived yet? I'm so hungry~ My stomach is empty to begin with, and my asshole mom let me waste my energy on this kind of thing! What an asshole..."

Arisa, wearing a pure black bikini, was lying weakly in the cold water, with her head resting on the soft inflatable swimming pool, protesting against her mother who was forcing them to do hard labor.

As for Shimi, she was wearing the same swimsuit as Arisa, but the color had changed to pure white. She had gotten used to dressing like this in front of several people.

Anyway, he has already given up, so let them tease him if they want. He is not so easily defeated now. To be honest, after wearing this kind of dress for a long time, he vaguely feels a little addicted to it.

Although Xi Mio knew how serious the consequences would be if she really got used to it...

He just moved his little butt slightly. Although it was very comfortable to sit on Sister Fanxia's thighs, he felt a little cold for some reason. He obviously didn't feel that way before.

After hearing Arisa's complaint, Shimizu also echoed it.

"That's what I mean~ It was you who came up with the idea, Aunt Asi, why do you want us to do the work?"

"Just considering this pizza dinner, I paid for it, do you have any objection?"

Aunt Yashi got a popsicle from somewhere and ate it in small bites while sitting aside, and dealt with the two of them in a bad mood.

However, to be honest, she felt a little hungry, so she picked up the phone beside her and took a look at the delivery man's location. It seemed that he was almost there.

Although there is a 50% discount if the delivery time exceeds half an hour, which is very tempting for ordinary people, it is not a big deal for Yashi, who just wants to eat quickly.

At this moment, Ba Chu, who had returned to the room and changed into a swimsuit, walked out of the living room, stood on the wooden platform, and looked down at the three people lying in the inflatable swimming pool.

She seemed to be wondering if it would be too crowded if she went in to take a bath, but now it seemed that there were still many empty seats, so it didn't seem to be a big deal.

then.

Sister Bachu lifted her long white legs and stepped into the elastic inflatable swimming pool.

In an instant, the water level inside rose a lot. Xi Mio, who was originally sitting on Sister Fanxia's lap, ran to Sister Bachu and sat down.

Bachu didn't have any objection to this, but Sister Fanxia, ​​whose love was snatched away by someone else, was not happy about it. Her beautiful eyes looked at Ximiao, who had changed her mind at the last minute, with resentment.

Although she didn't say anything, Xi Mio still felt a little guilty. She turned her head to the side and tried not to look at Sister Fanxia.

I don’t know how long it had been, but the people who were killing time in the courtyard heard the sound of an electric car stopping at the door.

Immediately afterwards, someone rang the doorbell, and the people who had been whispering in the courtyard suddenly fell silent and stared at each other.

All I could hear was Xi Mio saying in the inflatable pool, "So, who's going to get the takeout?"

"..."

No one responded, fearing that they would have to go through the trouble of getting the takeaway. Even Sister Bachu, who was sitting behind Xi Mio, didn't say a word.

However, their gazes were surprisingly consistent, all staring at Xi Mio who kept looking around, as if they wanted him to get the takeaway.

Finally, under the pressure of everyone, Xi Mio had no choice but to slowly stand up. Under the expectant gazes of everyone, he raised his legs and walked out of the inflatable swimming pool, put on his slippers, and walked towards the door.

……

"Strange, how come no one has come to answer the door after so long? Is the doorbell broken?"

The delivery lady couldn't help but press the doorbell again impatiently. If the delivery was overdue, her wages would be deducted.

However, thanks to the time she spent waiting, the delivery girl discovered that this seemed to be the place where she came when she delivered the hamburger meal before.

If she guessed correctly, the next step would be...

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. As for the pizza, just give it to me."

The voice that she would never forget suddenly came from the side. The delivery girl turned around and saw the young man in a pure white swimsuit with crystal water droplets hanging on his body.

After seeing the style of the swimsuit he was wearing, her eyes widened, as if she was wondering if she was hallucinating...

Xi Mio was very embarrassed about her outfit and her fair face turned red. She urged impatiently.

"Hey! What are you still standing there for? Give me the pizza!"

"Ah? Oh, ok, sorry~"

The delivery lady came to her senses and quickly handed the bag to Xi Mio. Then she hesitated as if she wanted to say something to him.

However, seeing Xi Mio's current state, he was in no mood to chat with the delivery lady in front of him, whom he had only met once.

Without waiting for the woman to call him, Xi Mio went back to the yard with their dinner in his hands without looking back.

Because she hadn't left yet, the delivery girl heard the laughter and joy coming from the couple, and she was very envious.

But unfortunately, life had to go on, and after delivering the pizza, she had no reason to stay here any longer.

However, before leaving, she did not forget to look back at the mansion that seemed a little gloomy as it moved away, and muttered to herself.

"I remember this seems to be... the famous haunted house in the town? Why would someone live in it? Exploring? I don't understand..."

After she whispered these words, a cold wind blew by. Although it was midsummer, she felt a chill on her back.

Without thinking too much, she just rode her electric scooter and left the street.

On the other side, Xi Mio returned to the courtyard carrying their dinner. The blush on her fair face took a long time to fade away.

"Ahhh~ Mio, why is your face so red? Did you forget that you're still wearing this cute swimsuit~"

After noticing that there was something wrong with Nozomi's expression, Arisa took the opportunity to tease her, completely not caring whether Nozomi would hold her accountable later.

Xi Mio put all the things in her hand on the table beside her, and said with a forced smile, resisting the urge to rush over and give Arisa a beating.

"Well, come over for dinner!"

"Hey, why are you ignoring me, Mio?"

Seeing that Xi Mio ignored what she had just said, Arisa walked up to him reluctantly, leaned close to Xi Mio's ear, and kept teasing him.

Xi Mio, who could no longer bear it, suddenly stretched out her hand and reached out without hesitation towards the soft part behind the girl who was showing off beside her.

Following a crisp sound, which was constantly echoed in the courtyard, the few people who were watching the show on the side suddenly showed a playful expression and looked at Xi Mio and Alisa sitting at the table.

It seems that I am looking forward to the next development...

However, it was a bit disappointing that after Xi Mio made this almost provocative action, Alisa did not react at all. She just opened the thermal bag and took out the pizza box in a very normal way.

Even through the carton, they could smell the aroma emanating from the steaming pizza.

Everyone, who were already starving, did not hesitate any more and hurried forward, taking their ordered food, and began to eat with relish in the courtyard.

I don’t know how long it took.

I saw Xi Mio still holding the cup of Coke with more than half of the drink left in her hand, sitting in the inflatable swimming pool, chatting with other people.

As for Sister Bachu, she seemed to be very hungry and was still eating pizza and snacks such as chicken wings.

"Um... Miss Bachu, I have something I want to ask you."

"Eh?"

Looking at Arisa who had come to his side at some point, after hearing what she said to him, Hachiman was stunned for a moment, then nodded, motioning her to continue.

Then, I heard Arisa lower her voice so that Nakami couldn't hear her, and asked Yachi in a low voice.

"You know, this thing about the haunted house?"

"Yes, but I didn't do this."

"Eh?"

Now, it was Alisa's turn to ask a question, and she looked at her curiously, wanting to get an answer.

However, Sister Ba, who was eating pizza, shrugged her shoulders and then spoke quietly.

"I've told you I don't know anything. I didn't do anything bad. For no reason, people in this town started to spread rumors that this place is a haunted house. And, this has nothing to do with Xi Mio's bastard family..."

Listening to Bachu's explanation, things suddenly became a little complicated.

Arisa couldn't understand why it was called a haunted house after they had lived here for such a long time and didn't notice anything wrong.

I don't understand.

Chapter 53: Sleepwalking

That night.

There was silence in the dim corridor. After eating and drinking, everyone took a shower and then went back to their rooms to rest.

Because of the exercise before the meal, Sister Fanxia and Alisa didn't have the energy to do anything anymore and they were very quiet.

Thanks to this, Xi Mio was able to have a good night's sleep and rest in the bedroom.

After an unknown amount of time, perhaps because she drank too much at dinner, Xi Mio reluctantly got up from her soft bed and walked towards the door.

As the door creaked open, the dim corridor became quiet. Only a ray of light from Xi Mio's room shone on the wooden floor of the corridor.

A cold wind blew from nowhere, causing Xi Mio to shiver and become a little more awake.

"Strange... Is the air conditioner I turned on so cold? Could it be that Sister Fanxia secretly lowered the temperature again?"

He subconsciously rubbed his arms, trying to warm his body.

After her eyes adjusted to the dim light in the corridor outside, Xi Mio walked towards the restroom, yawning and complaining that she should have given the unfinished drink to Alisa.

However, what he did not see was that just behind him at the stairs, a tall figure was standing quietly in the corridor, looking at the slender figure not far away.

……

"I'm alive. Fortunately, it's not winter now. If it were winter, my hands and feet would have become cold in just a short while. It would have been very uncomfortable to curl up in the bed later."

I saw Xi Mio sitting on the toilet leisurely, because sleepiness kept attacking his head, making him yawn repeatedly, with a few tears in the corners of his eyes.

Just when he was about to finish, he suddenly heard a faint but rhythmic knock on the toilet door.

"Eh? Who is it? There's someone in the bathroom~"

Although I don't know who else needs to get up to go to the bathroom, unfortunately, he has already taken the spot, even though he is almost done.

but……

After Xi Mio said these words, there was no response from outside, which was a bit confusing.

But because he did not forget to lock the toilet door this time, people outside could not come in directly like last time. They could only keep knocking on the door tirelessly.

But this makes Xi Mio feel a little bit horrified... Even though she knows that there are several ghosts living in her house, and some of them are even big sisters, this does not prevent Xi Mio from having the feeling that she is the protagonist in a horror movie.

I only heard him tentatively ask outside the toilet door again, "Who is it? Speak!"

As Xi Mio finished speaking, what surprised him a little was that the continuous knocking on the door suddenly stopped.

However, Xi Mio was still a little worried, so he sat in the toilet and waited for a long time. Then he pulled up his pants, unlocked the door again, and stuck his head out.

After confirming that the corridor was empty, he breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked out of the bathroom.

"Strange... who was playing a prank just now?"

Xi Mio, who didn't understand what had just happened, scratched her messy light golden hair, suppressed her doubts, and walked back to her bedroom.

Although the bright lights in the room were a bit dazzling, they gave Xi Mio a sense of security. At least it was not as terrifying as being trapped in the toilet just now.

He couldn't help but think so.

However, just after Xi Mio closed the door and carefully locked it, his heart, which had been hanging in the air since just now, finally slowly let go.

After turning off the lights in the room, he wanted to turn around and throw himself onto his soft bed.

As Xi Mio pushed his legs forward, a familiar smell came to his face. It was completely different from the touch of the soft bed he had imagined. It was as if he had fallen into another soft place.

In just a few breaths, Xi Mio realized that there was an unusually high voice between herself and the soft bed.

He raised his head tremblingly, but in the darkness, he could only barely see the figure, who was also looking down at him.

This unusually tall figure, the familiar smell and the smooth feel of the nightgown in his hand made Xi Mio ask a little puzzled.

"Sister Bachu?"

There was still no response, and Xi Mio lost her balance due to the previous action and fell onto the tatami.

Even though he wanted to struggle to stand up, an invisible force made his legs seem to have lost consciousness and he could not move.

As he felt something wrapped around his limbs and waist, his whole body slowly floated up until his eyes were level with the figure in front of him.

As time went by, he barely adapted to the dim light in the room, and with the help of the moonlight coming in through the window, he was able to see clearly the condition of Eighth Sister.
