While Sophia was asleep, Steph used the chance to ask the others, primarily Maya, about how her sister really was doing in her new life. Obviously, the cat-girl used the opportunity to tell her all the embarrassing details and mess-ups the tiger had done so far. Still, she also told the shorter blonde all about just how popular and loved by everyone she was.
As it had gotten really late and everyone else was tired, as well, the group eventually called it a day. Maya and Chloe decided to leave the sisters alone and headed to bed while leaving the living room to them. There was no way Steph would be able to peel the tiger away from her, so she decided to sleep with her on the sofa instead.
“You’re still there!”
“So are you!” On the following day, once the sisters were awake, the living room immediately turned loud again. After their discovery, the two immediately hugged each other again.
“Ehehe~.”
"You two aren't going to do that every morning from now on, do you?"
“Come on, it’s cute.” At the perfect time, Maya and Chloe also had returned to the living room.
"For the next two weeks, at the very least!"
“Three, I say!” Sophia and Steph weren’t planning to stop their clinginess anytime soon.
“Well, that’s a lot shorter than I had expected, so I guess that’s fine.”
"We'll do it for longer, then!"
“Sure…” The cat-girl rolled her eyes in return. “Anyway, I finished making breakfast. Are you two hungry?”
“I helped!” The fox-girl smiled at them.
“Very hungry!” The tiger liked the sound of that.
“Oh, you can cook?” Steph seemed more interested in Chloe’s answer.
“N-Not really…” She awkwardly scratched her cheek. “I like to help and am half-decent at preparing things, tough…”
"That's a start, and it sounds like you want to learn! Perfectly fine! If you want to, I can show you a thing or two once everything settles down. I’m not the best cook you’ll find, but I’m relatively confident about my skills!” The shorter blonde gave her a thumbs up.
“That sounds fun!” The pink-haired girl seemed to be looking forward to it already.
“Hehe.” The shorter blonde had a similar expression.
----------------
Once the girls had breakfast together, they returned to the living room to chat as there were still many things that needed to be dealt with. This time, Maya snatched the spot next to Sophia again, and Steph had to make do with Chloe. Not that she looked overly disappointed about it. Far from it, actually, and once the fox-girl's tail got closer to her, she seemed to be even ever so slightly happier about the seating arrangement.
“Steph, are you really sure about your stay here?” Sophia stared at her sister. “It’s unbelievably amazing that you’re with me again, but the circumstances are extremely weird. You also have to hide your looks because looking like a human will cause many issues… Trust me…" She sounded pretty tired all of a sudden. “Meeting my other friends will also need some sort of planning because I’m not supposed to have a sister…”
“Don’t worry~.” The shorter blonde smiled at her. “Maya already gave me an overview on these kinds of things last night after you fell asleep. I have no plans to make your friends suspicious or spoil the life you got here. You won’t get rid of me ever again, though. It's not even been a day, and I have already met someone amazing! And I can't wait to go exploring! Also, I want to be fluffy now!”
“I see.” That was enough for the tiger. “I guess we should start getting you ready for this world, huh?”
“Magic?!” Steph’s eyes started sparkling. “I want it!”
“Yeah, that, too… You also need to learn the language of this world, or you won’t be able to speak with anyone.”
“Eh?” She looked confused. “I can speak to everyone just fine, though?”
"Yeah, Maya, who learned our language as a gift from Canir, Chloe, who remembered her old language, and I, who… well, pretty obvious.
“Ah… Wait, this world actually uses a different language?!”
“Yup.”
“Right…” The cat-girl started nodding. “I completely forgot about that again because everything seemed normal after we returned.”
"I hadn't even realized that I'm bilingual." The fox-girl actually looked quite surprised. “I must’ve unconsciously swapped languages because everyone was using it right now."
“Wait!” Maya raised her voice. “Was that why I got confused with the two of you every now and then? Like the whole arctic thing and some other little words that I misunderstood when we first met? All three of us know the other language, so we might’ve unconsciously swapped to it when we were under us? I got the language hammered into my brain by Canir. He mentioned that I need to hear some words a couple of times before it clicks, so that might actually be what happened!”
“Oh, that might be true!” Sophia could get behind the reasoning. "It's either that or you neglected your ear hygiene."
“My ears are always clean!” The cat-girl got even louder.
“Ehehe.”
“I-I have to learn a whole new language…?”
"As Maya just said, she has gotten our language from Canir. I also got this world’s language as a gift from him back when I ended up here. No actual learning it by hand was involved. I’m sure I can talk him into doing the same for you. I might even be able to get some magic out of him for you. If not, I will share a good portion of mine with you. No problem there, but getting some from him obviously would be better."
“I see… I don’t really get it, but I see!” Steph looked a little bit confused and slightly bewildered.
“Don’t worry, it will be fine~.”
“O-Okay!”
“How are you even able to meet Canir, though?” Chloe looked pretty interested. “Sure, last time, he got you, but this time…"
"Hmm, I usually go and... but…" Sophia paused for a moment and then looked towards the living room's ceiling. "Oi, Canir, get your butt down here! I know you're listening!" She didn't want to go and visit a shrine right now.
“Eh?!” The fox-girl hadn’t seen that one coming. "A-As if it’s that ea-.”
“How about a please, my dear?” A moment later, another voice interrupted Chloe and entered the conversation.
“E-Eh?!” The fox-girl got even louder when she noticed a man suddenly sitting on the third sofa that was empty until now.
“It seemed like it worked without the please, though.”
"I would've greatly appreciated it, though!”
“And I would’ve appreciated not being sent back to my old world without any prior warning!”
“…” He went silent.
“W-Wait… He looks somewhat similar to the statues… I-Is that the Canir?!” Everything was going a little too fast for Chloe.
“I sure am.” He smiled at her. “Nice to finally meet you in person, my dear fox.”
“L-Likewise… S-So, you actually do know about me…?”
“I know about every interesting being on this planet. You definitely are amongst the most interesting ones.”
"A-Am I?”
“You most certainly are.” Canir’s smile only got bigger. “That’s all I’ll say in your case, though~.”
“O-Okay…?”
“You are the one who saved my sister and brought her to this world…?” Steph was also staring at him.
“I did, yes.” He changed his attention to her. “At the point where I did save her, it had become impossible to let her return to her original place, if that is what you want to know. This world seemed to be great for her, so I let her continue her life here. I am sorry that she got taken from you.” When he wants to, he really has his act together.
“Could you stand up for a moment?” While saying so, she did the same and walked up to him.
“Sure.” After getting up, the shorter blonde immediately hugged him. “Oh?”
“Thank you so much for saving my sister and allowing her to have a new chance in this world!” Once she gave him another quick squeeze for it, Steph eventually let go of him again before going back to sitting next to Chloe on the sofa.
"I think I like the little sister better." Canir glanced at the tiger while sitting down again.
“Don’t worry, I like her better than you, too.” She wasn’t angry about his jab.
“By the way, sorry about the mess...” The overseer suddenly apologized to the older blonde. “You probably won’t believe me, but it was an honest mistake on my part because my concentration had suffered a little from our conversation.
“You better be! You will definitely pay for the emotional damage I sustained!”
“Ahh...”
“It’s not like I can be mad at you, though...” Sophia made a small break while she glanced at her sister. “Speaking of, how bad is it that Steph is here now...?”
“Mhmm...” He tilted his head in return. “It’s certainly not ideal because you brought her over rather than an official overseer, but... Well, we found it interesting, so it’s fine.”
“We...? Anyway, does that mean it’s alright for her to stay here...?”
“If that’s what you, and most importantly, she wants, I see very little issue with that.”
“I ABSOLUTELY want to!” Steph’s reply was instantaneous.
"Well then, have fun in this world, little sister." Canir wasn't going to stop her.
“Yay!”
Once this very important topic was taken care of, the sisters relaxed quite a bit again, and the tiger could start asking for Canir's help to get Steph ready for the world.
