Chapter 49: A Tail-Tugging Tussle and a Shampoo Scandal

“Ugh…”

Luo Su flailed symbolically, unable to break free, resignedly hugging her head. “H-hit me if you want… but no money if you do!”

The cash…

Already eaten up, no way she’d cough it up.

“Gulp…”

No guilt, though—her sister always had more allowance (tragic)…

So, this was her tiny revenge.

“…”

Luo Xi went quiet, staring at the cute creature in a defensive crouch, sinking into deep self-doubt…

Q: What do you do when your brother’s cuter than you?

But…

Blushing, she took a deep breath, hoisting Luo Su and shaking her. “Interrogation time! Bad brother gets no terms!”

“W-wah!”

Startled, Luo Su clung to her sister’s wrist. “S-stop shaking! What if my clothes tear!”

“I’ll pay,” Luo Xi said.

“E-eh?!”

Luo Su panicked, fumbling for her phone, teary. “I-I’ll pay you!” Her fridge of candies… fluttering away like butterflies.

“Interest?”

Luo Xi’s eyes curved into crescents. Bullying her brother was… fun!

(Never noticed before.)

This pliable look… so addictive! She couldn’t resist, rubbing Luo Su’s puffed cheeks.

“What?”

Luo Su’s eyes widened—interest?! Like a loan shark! Might as well sell her as a fried chicken ball… unpayable…

With that,

She gave up, drooping, eyes closed, playing dead.

“…”

Luo Xi faltered, seeing the miserable loli, realizing she’d gone too far…

“Fine, no money!”

“Really?!”

Luo Su sprang back, head up smugly. “I heard you—no lying!”

Luo Xi: “…”

Fists clenched again! She’d softened, but her brother, even as a loli, was still so punchable!

“Hmph… I’m telling Mom~”

“Ugh… you said no money, now snitching?” Luo Su pouted, “muttering” loudly, “Liars swallow a thousand silver needles!”

“What…”

Luo Xi was speechless. Did she seem that money-grubbing? Leaning close, wickedly, “I’m telling Mom—she’s got two daughters now!”

“???”

Luo Su panicked, pouncing to hug Luo Xi, teary. “W-wah, no, absolutely not!”

“How’re you at school?”

Luo Xi sighed, eyeing the wilted “bundle.” She couldn’t let her brother become a shut-in, right?

If she hadn’t come…

This idiot might’ve hidden it from the family, dropping out to be a delinquent girl! The thought made her temples throb.

“Ugh…”

Luo Su cradled her restless tail, eyes flickering. “I… can disguise as my old self, been going to school…”

“Show me!”

Luo Xi got excited—magic! Could she learn? She’s the sister!

“Uh…”

Luo Su turned awkwardly, shakily tugging her tail… transforming back to her old self.

“…”

Luo Xi glanced behind—no tail, no learning!

Sighing,

“Can’t you stay like that?”

Curious, but she knew it wasn’t possible—Luo Su’s stubbornness wouldn’t show her loli form otherwise.

(Not with his bullheaded temper…)

She could guess.

“Not enough magic…”

Luo Su sighed.

He wished for endless magic, but… it was never enough.

Super guiltily, she thought her light succubus body felt nice… but no way she’d admit it!

(So embarrassing.)

(A manly man, liking a loli body? Never saying it!)

“How’s magic…”

Luo Xi pressed, “Recharged?”

“S-sleeping…”

Luo Su mumbled, turning back to a loli, blushing. Guiltily, she thought of weird dream stuff…

“Hmph… come here.”

At “sleeping,” Luo Xi recalled the bathroom’s “shampoo.” Sloppy as a guy was bad enough—now a girl, using no-name junk!

“???”

“What?!” Luo Su didn’t stand before being lifted again, face burning. So humiliating…

In the bathroom,

Luo Xi pointed accusingly at the “8-in-1” shampoo. “What’s this?”

“Eh?”

Luo Su perked up.

Big eyes blinking, she puffed her chest proudly. “Super awesome all-in-one shampoo! Body wash, conditioner, shaving foam—”

(Counting to the eighth function)

She caught Luo Xi’s death stare, silencing instantly. Timidly, “You… don’t think it’s convenient?”

“Convenient my foot!”

Luo Xi fumed, eyeing Luo Su’s delicate skin. Eight functions together? Harmful!

“Use my shampoo now. Tomorrow, we’re buying supplies.” She huffed.

Mentally listing items, still baffled—how did this idiot survive…

So old!

Weren’t they from the same mom? How were their habits so different!

“Phew…”

Luo Xi rubbed her forehead, radiating mom vibes. “People’d think we abused a kid…”

By age,

Luo Su was older… but now? Anyone’d think she was the caretaker!

(But…)

(Not bad?)

Her eyes lit up, head smugly high—now she was the rightful big sister!

(Hmph~)

(Caring for a little sister? Totally justified!)
