Daily Life With Dangerous Monster-Girls

Dora was uncharacteristically set on doing this. The letter in her hand was delivered earlier and she looked at it intensely for half an hour, and then she finally decided.

She ran to father's old office, opened the letter and placed the application in the desk while she grabbed a pen.

- Applicant Given Name: Dora

- Applicant Family Name: Takeda

She wrote quickly, trying to finish before she could think much about the matter, so she wouldn't have time to change her mind.

- Gender: Female

- Age: 20

- Relationship Status: Single

- Sexual Orientation: Pansexual

- I, Dora Takeda, hereby swear to abide by and uphold the Interspecies Protection Act, and I acknowledge that intimate relationships between extra-species homestays and humans are forbidden [except where exempted by the Kimihito Amendment in the case of approved marriage].

She dropped the pen, leaned in the desk, head down, closed eyes, breathing deep, trying not to think in the possible consequences of what she was about to do.

"It's usually Wolfgang putting himself in such risks" she thought, with a sarcastic grin. "Well, screw it, I'm going to do this".

She picked the piece of papper that would chance her life ever since from the desk, handling it like a bomb, or a dirty diaper.

"I'm going to do this and nothing is going to stop me!".

"You did WHAT?" Wolfgang yelled after she told him what she did.

"You heard me, I joined the Cultural Exchange Program" she repeated, not willing to back off.

"But why did you do this? You should be the smart one, sis, what if they find out about us?" he asked, in dispair.

"I don't know, I'm just sick of being alone here!" said Dora "You already risk us enough with your nocturnal routine, I'm sick of going from home to work and back without a break to have some fun for fear we get discovered!"

"That's one thing, but there's like a TON of things you could do to unwind and..." he started to talk his way, but she intervened.

"Stop right there, I'm not interested on your ideas of fun, I want more than to just unwind, I want someone who can comprehend me, someone that understand what it is to be a liminal among humans!" Wolfgang put a hand in her mouth, startled.

"Shut up! Do you want for the whole fucking block to find out who we are?" he asked, with urgency "Do you want for us to end up like mom? To leave father alone? Is that what you want?" she released herself from him.

"We're doppelgangers, Wolf, there's no running from it! They're gonna find out sooner or later" she said.

"Better later than sooner, Dora. We have a LIFE here, do you want to screw this? Don't you even get conserned for everything father went through to protect us from humans?" he argued.

"That's different, the humans know about us now" she pointed.

Wolfgang did not seemed convinced, shaking his head negatively.

He sighed. "Shit, I hope you know what you're doing, I just can't see this any differently than a huge tragedy in the making... But then again, you already sent the application and talked to the Cultural Exchange Coordinator..."

Dora sighed too.

"Do you already know when our new homestay will arrive and who will it be?" he asked.

"Should be in two days, that's what Agent Weaving said it would" she told her brother "As for a 'who', still don't have a clue, when he asked about a preference on the homestay species, I just said someone who could adpat well to urban spaces, since our house is big, but not as much as to be confortable for a free spirit like na harpy or a big species like an ogre".

Wolfgang nodded and sighed again. "Well, I gonna check up on father, see if he's awake or heard any of our discussion".

So Dora watched her brother walk upstairs, and dropped herself in the couch. "Shit, I must make right...".
