(EP-160.2) Night #1

160 – Day and Night #1

Narmi continued to gossip about her sister for half an hour after that.

“What else? Ah! She uses too much toothpaste when brushing her teeth! And she also squeezes the toothpaste tube from the middle! I’ve been telling her many times to start from the bottom-up!”

“That must be tough.”

“Also, she’s been putting too much sugar in tea these days. I hate it because it makes my body feel heavy but she doesn’t listen!”

“Um-. Too much sugar is indeed bad for you.”

“Right? What else? Oh! I like peach-scented things, but my sister uses apple mint-scented shampoo. She even uses apple mint-scented perfume.”

So she didn’t like Mirna’s apple mint scent of choice.

In any case, the gossip was mostly trivial.

Alone, they look insignificant. But if stacked overtime, it could eventually cause a ripple in their relationship.

Given their unique situation of sharing one body, they needed stricter rules between themselves.

Mirna’s usual strict adherence to rules and norms might have been influenced by the devout upbringing of the Draco Family, in addition to the unique circumstances of their shared body.

“Getting that out felt good…”

Narmi, who had been gossiping about her sister for a while, seemed to have regained her calm.

Sometimes, just talking to someone could relieve the burden in one’s heart.

But Narmi, who was slowly regaining her composure, realized that she had ranted too much information.

“Theo, what I said today… You must not tell anyone, okay? Even my sister Mirna.”

“Of course, Miss Narmi and I alone will share these secrets.”

“Eungeung.”

Though, that made me wonder.

“But, can’t Lady Mirna hear us talking like this?”

“She can’t hear anything unless I face a mirror.”

‘I see.’

That also meant, conversely, the conversations between Mirna and I would not be heard by Narmi. I wondered if there was a limit.

“Then if Miss Narmi gets seriously injured, would Lady Mirna feel it too?”

“No, she can’t. That’s why we often fight over things like suddenly having a cut or bruise on our fingers or arms, pointing at each other on who caused it.”

That was fascinating.

However, I decided to stop prying further as Narmi might feel uncomfortable.

“Hu-. By the way, why is this room so hot?”

Chwareureuk. Narmi was fanning herself.

Her face was very red and beads of sweat clung to her skin. It seemed more like tension than heat.

“Shall I open the window?”

“No, it’s fine. I’m also about to leave. Oh, before I forget, have you noticed anything strange from my sister recently?”

“Strange?”

“No, this is…”

Narmi was about to say something but stopped.

I wondered if Mirna was overheated due to the bet with Elga, and kept it a secret from her sister.

Narmi seems to be unaware of it.

Thinking about this, it was a bit pitiful.

So, in an attempt to comfort Narmi and subtly strengthen my bond with the Draco Family twins, I asked.

“If your sister is hiding a lot of things and is acting selfish, shouldn’t Miss Narmi get her back by doing the same?

“The same?”

“Miss Narmi should also do things without your sister’s knowledge. The things you couldn’t do because of the rules.”

“Is it like secretly getting a tattoo?”

“… I mean, I guess you could see it that way. But isn’t a tattoo a bit too much….”

“Even when I’m working hard in taking care of our body, she’s just using it without care. Anyway, Theo, I think you’re right. I can’t just let myself be the only one suffering. As expected, it was good that I told you, Theo.”

It was nice to see Narmi cheering up. However, I was worried that if she did get a tattoo, her relationship with Mirna would be irreversibly broken.

Maybe I shouldn’t have said that…

Then, one thought popped into my mind.

“How about earrings?”

“Earrings?”

Narmi’s earlobes looked soft and smooth, without any signs of piercings.

“You can wear earrings secretly!”

“Earrings….”

“It could be a way for Miss Narmi to express her individuality, differentiating yourself from your sister?”

“Getting earrings….”

Earrings were better than tattoos. At least in my opinion. It seemed like an interesting idea for Narmi as well.

“Earrings, I think they do sound quite nice. Then Theo, would you like to go buy earrings with me right now?”

“Now? Is there a place open at this hour to buy earrings?”

It was already between 9 and 10 in the evening, a time when most of the shops in Ark closed up for the night.

That was why I couldn’t help but wonder about Narmi’s sudden desire to go out. However, Narmi just opened her narrow eyes and chuckled.

“Theo, it seems like you don’t know anything about the night.”

Hwik. Chak.

Then she grabbed my hand and started pulling me out of the room.

“Let’s go! I’ll show you how to spend the night…!”

Her assertive and proactive demeanor was something I had never seen in Mirna, which made my heart skip a beat.

Show me how to spend the night?

It sounded ambiguous…

But, of course, I know she didn’t mean it like that.
