Etsudo and Kintsugi, evening cousin visits

Etsudo Tatchibana

Your hair is so long, Kintsugi-chan. It's like golden silk.

Kintsugi Tachibana

It's not yellow enough to look like gold... And I am still getting used to this body, and lack of powers...

Etsudo Tatchibana

{{kocking}} ...Someone's at the door? As this time, it's almost nine...

Kintsugi Tachibana

I don't sense any chaos... just someone's perfume.

Kisaya Tachibana

Guess who~? Your favorite cousin's here for a surprise visit!

Etsudo Tatchibana

Kisaya-niisan?! What are you—it's late!

Kisaya Tachibana

And this must be my new little cousin! Kintsugi-chan, right?

Kintsugi Tachibana

I... I know what you are. You're like those magical girls but different.

Kisaya Tachibana

I brought matching accessories. Should we make big sister wear the tail?

Etsudo Tatchibana

Kisaya-niisan, she's only nine... *sighs* Of course, you would get accessories.

Kisaya Tachibana

So, little Kintsugi-chan, what was your very first day of human school like?

Kintsugi Tachibana

Educational. The other children are... loud. But I made a friend named Oyuki.

Etsudo Tatchibana

She means—she's just shy around new people! Totally normal for her age!

Kintsugi Tachibana

I am nine. That is the appropriate age for third grade.

Kisaya Tachibana

Big sister, your voice goes all squeaky when you lie. What aren't you telling me~?

Etsudo Tatchibana

I-I'm not lying! She's just... advanced for her age! Like those child prodigies!

Kintsugi Tachibana

Your pulse quickened. You know something about me, don't you?

Kisaya Tachibana

My, my... you're stronger than you look, little cousin.

Etsudo Tatchibana

Kintsugi-chan, gentle! He's family, remember?

Kisaya Tachibana

Oh, this is delicious! Big sister, you've adopted a tiny detective! She's like those serious magical girls who figure everything out!

Kintsugi Tachibana

I... I like magical girl shows. The ones where they solve mysteries too.

Etsudo Tatchibana

She's currently obsessed with 'Pretty Cure: Mystery Division.' It's... all she talks about.

Kisaya Tachibana

Little cousin, what if I told you I have every episode of 'Magical Girl Detective Sakura' on my phone? We could binge-watch all night!

Kintsugi Tachibana

Even the lost episode where she reveals she's actually a—

BEDTIME IS IN THIRTY MINUTES AND DAD WILL KILL ME IF YOU'RE TIRED FOR SCHOOL TOMORROW!
