Most people believe twin daughters have the same thought patterns. However, Alice and Alyssa’s different personalities have dismissed that.

Alice prefers to be upfront to convey her feelings openly which makes her stubborn and has difficulty lying because of her face filled with expressive attitude.

But for Alyssa, she is like a calm flower floating on the water without causing waves that break the tranquility.

Her brown eyes look like a friendly woman who respects her twin sister who just came out of the library room with her respected Elder Sister. Together with Mio who was looking for her Master for dinner, Alyssa was surprised by the appearance of Alice who looked messy with heavy breathing as if she had kissed her respected Elder Sister until night came.

"Alice, what are you doing in the library room until night?" Alyssa observed Alice’s messy clothes, which had wrinkled fabrics, especially on the collar.

"Huum? Alyssa?" Alice looked like she was half-conscious after being exhausted from reading the handwriting of the magic book translated by Lily. Her wrinkled and sweaty-soaked clothes made Alyssa suspicious about the truth of what Alice said.

"Is that true, Lily-nee?" To confirm the truth of her twin sister, Alyssa looked at Lily with an innocent gaze and high curiosity eyes.

"That’s right, Alyssa. I was just helping Alice to reading the translation of the magic book that I had copied by hand. It made us concentrate for a long time until we were tired like this. We came out because we were hungry and realized that it was already dark without any proper lights inside," Lily replied in a flat tone without expression, even Alyssa’s sharp observation did not detect a lie because Lily did not show a single expression in her flat tone.

In Alyssa’s hesitation, she saw both Alice’s and Lily’s lips were wet with a little trace of saliva.

"What happened in the library room?" Alyssa muttered in a small tone to herself.

"Huh? Did you say something, Alyssa-sama?" asked Mio who was secretly paying attention to the small murmur that came from Alyssa’s mouth.

"It’s getting late, Papa and Mama have been waiting for us to have dinner together, isn’t that right, Mio?" with a sweet smile from the innocent little girl who looked cute, Alyssa tried to change the direction of the conversation to avoid further questions from Mio who looks like hearing her murmur.

"Huh?" Responding to her question that was suddenly interrupted by another topic of conversation, Mio could only remain silent without being able to fight back because her status was Lily’s personal Maid.

"Lily-sama, I have prepared warm water for a bath. But if you want to have dinner first, I can postpone your evening bath preparations to take a dinner first," ignoring Alyssa’s small mutter, Mio immediately returned to her work mode as Lily’s personal Maid and didn’t want to find out more about Alyssa’s mutter.

Behind the innocent smile on Alyssa’s face, the calm flower suddenly grew to bloom to steal the night’s attention to itself. The smooth movement tried as much as possible not to disturb the quiet water that didn’t cause any waves.

"Lily-nee, let’s have dinner together!" Alyssa pulled Lily’s arm which was covered in sweat.

"You look excited, Alyssa. Did something happen while Alice and I were locked up in the library?" Lily asked Alyssa who was holding her hand towards the dining room.

"Nothing, I was just lonely because I wasn’t with Lily-nee in afternoon tea party with Mama."

"Oh, I’m sorry, because I was helping Alice reading my handwriting that translated the magic book."

"I don’t mind it, because Alice has difficulty reading long handwriting. I also have to force myself to read slower to understand the long write Lily-nee’s handwriting."

"Uhm, my handwriting isn’t bad and hard to read, right?" With an awkward smile, Lily looked like an Elder Sister who was filled with guilt when it came to helping her twin sister related to translate the magic book through her handwriting.

On that short journey to dining room, Alyssa saw the anxious face that was visible in Lily’s small facial expression. Because the mansion’s hallways were rather dark and dimly lit, Alyssa smiled filled with cunning when she saw a golden opportunity in front of her eyes.

"Lily-nee’s handwriting is very beautiful and easy to read. Maybe Alice just feels too lazy to read it so Lily-nee has trouble accompanying her in the library," said Alyssa while attacking Alice’s head with an invisible arrow.

Stabb...

"Urk! Somehow my chest hurts when this is an undeniable fact," replied Alice who received an invisible attack from Alyssa. Her little heart was too fragile to receive a cunning attack along with Alyssa’s innocent face without any guilt.

"If only Alice had read Lily-nee’s handwriting correctly. We might not have fallen from a height after casting the teleportation magic spell," continued Alyssa who attacked Alice’s self-esteem and lacking magic skills because she didn’t read Lily’s handwriting about the teleportation magic carefully.

Stabb...

"Cough! Enough Alyssa! Please don’t throw such painful facts at me," Alice received an invisible arrow stab that pierced her fragile little heart.

"Alice, you have to be more diligent in reading correctly so that such spell-casting mistakes don’t happen again. Oh! I almost forgot to tell you about this, maybe you should share the translation of Lily-nee’s handwriting with Mama."

"Uh, why is it like this all of a sudden? Does it have something to do with Mama?"

"Haven’t you heard from Mama? She said she wanted to study the magic book that Lily-nee had translated. If you don’t finish it quickly, you’ll be seven steps behind my magic skills," Alyssa said with an innocent smile.

When Alyssa smiled like that, Alice understood that it was a smile to mock her for not being able to keep up with her skills as a twin sister.

"A-Alyssa, can you keep Mom busy with our Onee-sama’s handwritten translation notes first?" she said with cold sweat pouring from her forehead, she imagined that her afternoon study with Lily would be disturbed by the presence of her Mom who wanted to join in studying the magic book.

"I could do that, Alice. It’s just that..." Alyssa began to make a cunning attack hidden behind her innocent smile that was able to manipulate the situation.

"Keeping Mom busy before you finish reading Lily-nee’s handwritten translation notes is not an easy matter," Alyssa began to make an offer that would bring her close to Lily at night.

"How about I sleep with Lily-nee so that you feel comfortable to continue reading at night in our bedroom? That will give me some extra time before Mama finishes reading my translated magic book notes," the smile filled with cunning made Mio, who realized Alyssa’s true intentions, tremble with alertness.

The body of the little girl who looked very innocent was able to manipulate a situation by taking advantage of hidden advantages. To make herself enjoy a warm night with Lily, Alyssa seemed to sacrifice the bedroom that she shared with Alice to give herself more space that would not interfere with her reading activities by sleeping with Lily.

"That’s a great idea!" Alice exclaimed, not thinking about her situation that was being exploited by Alyssa.

"That will give me plenty of time and space to read all of Onee-sama’s handwriting!" Alice’s eyes sparkled with the hope of finishing one magic book that Lily had translated.

Mio, who had been silent listening to the conversation between Alice and Alyssa, tried to calm herself down so as not to get involved in a situation that would be exploited by Alyssa.

"Lily-nee, you don’t mind me sleeping with you tonight, right?" Alyssa said with a sweet smile at Lily.

"I don’t mind, it’s just, do you mind if Alyssa sleeps together with us, Mio?" Without Lily realizing it, she dragged Mio into the blacklist that Alyssa would use to not disturb her free time with Lily.

"Lily-sama, you should sleep with Alyssa-sama tonight. We can sleep together another night," seeing Alyssa’s dark gaze who heard that the rivals for the special right to be alone with Lily had increased, Mio didn’t want to lose without a fight.

The short and clear spoke made a statement that Mio could sleep with Lily anytime.

"Lily-nee, this is the first time I’ve heard that Lily-nee often sleeps together with a personal Maid like Mio. Do Lily-nee and Mio always sleep together like that?" asked Alyssa who wanted to get additional information to fight back against Mio.

"Yes, we’ve slept together often. It might sound embarrassing if I still sleep with a Maid. I also feel a bit lonely sleeping alone…" Lily replied while glancing at Mio, her soft red gaze followed by a blush blooming on her cheeks.

"T-This… I didn’t expect there to be an enemy this strong…" Alyssa muttered through clenched teeth seeing her greatest enemy was Lily’s personal Maid.

"Onee-sama! If you feel lonely when sleeping alone, why don’t we sleep together every day? Me, Alyssa, and Mio will make you not lonely!" Right beside her, Alice gave a brilliant idea that accidentally triggered a big bomb that made Alyssa and Mio unite against her.

"That’s a bad idea, Alice!" Alyssa exclaimed with wide eyes.

"Alice-sama! That will disturb Lily-sama’s privacy and ruin Lily-sama’s good sleep quality!" Mio said in a polite tone without looking panicked like Alyssa.

Alyssa and Mio tried their best to make Alice’s statement sound bad by bringing up the issue of comfortable sleep to ruin Lily’s privacy.

The great pressure given by Alyssa and Mio at least made Alice silent during dinner because her brain was confused.
