...How do I do this again..

Cough

HELLO READEEERSS! I'M BACK!
...Or not.

I seriously forgot how to do the opening on the author's note. rofl.

Real life's stuffs have gotten complicated, so I can't do much to keep updating. One of them is, that I still haven't become a college student. Entrance exams sure are hard, eh?

That's why I made myself stuck with the books and pencil.

Basically, I still can't fully fulfill my responsibility as an author. HA! Even before this issue I still couldn't updates my stories...

Short update still acceptable, right? Whatever the answer is, please enjoy yourself.

Disclaimer: I don't own Love Live!

Ever since that day, my life has changed.

Ever since mom got remarried and brought another children with her.

"EEH?! FOR REAL?" Honoka's voice echoed through my ears. The volume was a bit high and it was unneeded. I nodded, holding my ears due to the shock.

"But that's surprising. To think that the headmistress is..." Umi said halfway. Her face is a bit red while saying it.

"Into women?" I added, and she flinched hearing the words I just said. "Y-Yes.."

I didn't know why was she nervous at that time. But she was being cute so I could only giggle.

"Well, I don't against it though."

"B-But, aren't you surprised? I mean, it was sudden, don't you think so? Not to mention she didn't ask for your permission-"

"Now, now Umi-chan, calm down. Kotori-chan said that she was okay, didn't she? Right, Kotori-chan?" Honoka who stopped Umi's babble asked.

"Yep! Mom seems happy about it, so things are fine. Although it is true that she didn't mention about this beforehand." I answered. It was a honest answer. I was fine with all of it. But only one thing which bothered me so much.

"I.. I see." Umi said, finally calmed down. I let an 'Uhm' while nodding to convince her that I was really fine. It was quiet weird, since the one who gave an exaggerating response at first was Honoka. But Umi seemed more concerned and serious about this. And soon after that, I noticed that's just them being theirselves.

"By the way, Kotori-chan!" Honoka beamed. Again with the unnecessary loud voice. But I couldn't deny the fact that I've gotten used to it.

"Yes?"

"Does she have a child with her?"

Understanding what Honoka meant, I only nodded quietly. By she, she meant mom's wife. Or husband? But they're both woman so I guess wife. But then who is the husband?

"She does?! Is it a boy or a girl?!" Honoka's cheerful voice snapped me out from my unimportant thoughts. But it was regarding my family's position so it was kinda important. Still, I couldn't find the answer.

"A girl." I said.

"How old is she?" It was Umi's turn to ask.

"I guess around 5?"

"What's her name?"

"It's Maki."

"How does she look like~?"

"Well, small and cute? Also, she seems fluffy if I hug her." I pointed out. Noticing that I couldn't even give a proper description about her, I felt bad about it. It just made me look like I am a bad older sister.

..I guess I really am.

"Are you two not close?" Honoka asked. And I flinched upon hearing it.

Bulls eye.

"W-Why'd you think like that?" I asked. The question itself was surprising, but it was Honoka who launched it. The dense girl who can't read atmosphere around her.

By that time, I acknowledge that Honoka could also be sharp.

"Well, you can hug the alpacas freely,"

..Or not.

"and we three also do a lot of huggings-"

"Wh-What?!" Umi responded quickly to the word hugging, and her face was already reddened. While stealing glances to me, Umi tried to explain something. "T-That's because you always cling-"

But cut off.

"-so, it's just normal for you to hug her easily. I also do that a lot with Yukiho-chan!" She exclaimed.

Hearing her explanations, which somehow sounded logic, I doubt myself I will be able to do that even if we passed many times together.

Since I didn't know how to act when I was around her.

And that's what had been bothering me.

"About that..." I said, both were already paying attention to me. "I think I have some problems regarding Maki."

..Another multi-chapter story? For real?

...Yes.

Give me critiques, anything, I need those so badly. So that I know whether this story worth to be continue or not.

And...

I want to say that actually, I only study recently. Before? I had been playing DOTA 2 for like 1 month straight. And a little advice. 4k scrubs on SEA's server can't be trusted. But please do your best to gain their trust.

Or else, stuck on 4k forever.

Not important eh? hehe.

Bye readers!
