Chapter 339 – It’s alright to stay

While Sophia was asleep, Steph used the chance to ask the others, primarily Maya, about how her sister really was doing in her new life. Obviously, the cat-girl used the opportunity to tell her all the embarrassing details and mess-ups the tiger had done so far. Still, she also told the shorter blonde all about just how popular and loved by everyone she was.

As it had gotten really late and everyone else was tired, as well, the group eventually called it a day. Maya and Chloe decided to leave the sisters alone and headed to bed while leaving the living room to them. There was no way Steph would be able to peel the tiger away from her, so she decided to sleep with her on the sofa instead.

“You’re still there!”

“So are you!” On the following day, once the sisters were awake, the living room immediately turned loud again. After their discovery, the two immediately hugged each other again.

“Ehehe~.”

"You two aren't going to do that every morning from now on, do you?"

“Come on, it’s cute.” At the perfect time, Maya and Chloe also had returned to the living room.

"For the next two weeks, at the very least!"

“Three, I say!” Sophia and Steph weren’t planning to stop their clinginess anytime soon.

“Well, that’s a lot shorter than I had expected, so I guess that’s fine.”

"We'll do it for longer, then!"

“Sure...” The cat-girl rolled her eyes in return. “Anyway, I finished making breakfast. Are you two hungry?”

“I helped!” The fox-girl smiled at them.

“Very hungry!” The tiger liked the sound of that.

“Oh, you can cook?” Steph seemed more interested in Chloe’s answer.

“N-Not really...” She awkwardly scratched her cheek. “I like to help and am half-decent at preparing things, tough...”

"That's a start, and it sounds like you want to learn! Perfectly fine! If you want to, I can show you a thing or two once everything settles down. I’m not the best cook you’ll find, but I’m relatively confident about my skills!” The shorter blonde gave her a thumbs up.

“That sounds fun!” The pink-haired girl seemed to be looking forward to it already.

“Hehe.” The shorter blonde had a similar expression.

Once the girls had breakfast together, they returned to the living room to chat as there were still many things that needed to be dealt with. This time, Maya snatched the spot next to Sophia again, and Steph had to make do with Chloe. Not that she looked overly disappointed about it. Far from it, actually, and once the fox-girl's tail got closer to her, she seemed to be even ever so slightly happier about the seating arrangement.

“Steph, are you really sure about your stay here?” Sophia stared at her sister. “It’s unbelievably amazing that you’re with me again, but the circumstances are extremely weird. You also have to hide your looks because looking like a human will cause many issues... Trust me..." She sounded pretty tired all of a sudden. “Meeting my other friends will also need some sort of planning because I’m not supposed to have a sister...”

“Don’t worry~.” The shorter blonde smiled at her. “Maya already gave me an overview on these kinds of things last night after you fell asleep. I have no plans to make your friends suspicious or spoil the life you got here. You won’t get rid of me ever again, though. It's not even been a day, and I have already met someone amazing! And I can't wait to go exploring! Also, I want to be fluffy now!”

“I see.” That was enough for the tiger. “I guess we should start getting you ready for this world, huh?”

“Magic?!” Steph’s eyes started sparkling. “I want it!”

“W-Wait... He looks somewhat similar to the statues... I-Is that the Canir?!” Everything was going a little too fast for Chloe.

“I sure am.” He smiled at her. “Nice to finally meet you in person, my dear fox.”

“L-Likewise... S-So, you actually do know about me...?”

“I know about every interesting being on this planet. You definitely are amongst the most interesting ones.”

"A-Am I?”

“You most certainly are.” Canir’s smile only got bigger. “That’s all I’ll say in your case, though~.”

“O-Okay...?”

“You are the one who saved my sister and brought her to this world...?” Steph was also staring at him.

“I did, yes.” He changed his attention to her. “At the point where I did save her, it had become impossible to let her return to her original place, if that is what you want to know. This world seemed to be great for her, so I let her continue her life here. I am sorry that she got taken from you.” When he wants to, he really has his act together.

“Could you stand up for a moment?” While saying so, she did the same and walked up to him.

“Sure.” After getting up, the shorter blonde immediately hugged him. “Oh?”

“Thank you so much for saving my sister and allowing her to have a new chance in this world!” Once she gave him another quick squeeze for it, Steph eventually let go of him again before going back to sitting next to Chloe on the sofa.

"I think I like the little sister better." Canir glanced at the tiger while sitting down again.

“Don’t worry, I like her better than you, too.” She wasn’t angry about his jab.

“By the way, sorry about the mess...” The overseer suddenly apologized to the older blonde. “You probably won’t believe me, but it was an honest mistake on my part because my concentration had suffered a little from our conversation.

“You better be! You will definitely pay for the emotional damage I sustained!”

“Ahh...”

“It’s not like I can be mad at you, though...” Sophia made a small break while she glanced at her sister. “Speaking of, how bad is it that Steph is here now...?”

“Mhmm...” He tilted his head in return. “It’s certainly not ideal because you brought her over rather than an official overseer, but... Well, we found it interesting, so it’s fine.”

“We...? Anyway, does that mean it’s alright for her to stay here...?”

“If that’s what you, and most importantly, she wants, I see very little issue with that.”

“I ABSOLUTELY want to!” Steph’s reply was instantaneous.

"Well then, have fun in this world, little sister." Canir wasn't going to stop her.

“Yay!”

Once this very important topic was taken care of, the sisters relaxed quite a bit again, and the tiger could start asking for Canir's help to get Steph ready for the world.
