Chapter 120
"Brother? What happened...?" As my vision cleared, I found myself in a dimly lit room with my sister Yura, looking slightly startled by my sudden appearance.
"Yura?" I was just as bewildered by the situation, a sense of irony hanging in the air.
"How did this happen? I was resting on the bed and suddenly you just appeared out of thin air..." Yura's account allowed me to piece together a plausible scenario. It seemed that Tempus had set the destination of my return to the inn where I had been staying. Her ability to transport people anywhere seemed almost too convenient. Could she be using some sort of magical teleportation?
"Explaining the situation might be complicated, but in simple terms for now... let's just say I was brought back here by something," I said, trying to simplify the complex events.
"Ah..." Yura seemed slightly suspicious but somewhat grasped the situation, giving me a somewhat vague nod.
"So, did you meet that girl Miru? You said she had something important for you," she asked.
How should I answer? Nodding felt uncomfortable given the shocking revelations, and shaking my head didn't seem right either. "Well... it seems like I did gain something," I responded ambiguously.
"That's a bit vague, isn't it?" Yura sensed something odd but didn't press further.
"Anyway, I'm glad you got something out of it," she said, wagging her tail slightly as her curiosity seemed to recede.
"Oh, and I've got something good for you again today!" Yura cheerfully presented me with some mysterious substance she had acquired from an unknown source."What..?" My heart skipped a beat, recalling Tempus's warning.
"Here, it's most effective if you take it before bed!" Tempus had advised me not to eat anything given by my sister, and although I didn't know the reason, I was warned not to consume whatever Yura offered me.
"Why aren't you drinking it?" She held out the bottle, and I stared at it blankly. Reluctantly, I remembered Tempus's words - a warning from someone who might become an enemy someday. I couldn't ignore it, despite my reluctance to trust her. Not long after Tempus' counsel, I found myself in a situation where I had to choose between trusting my future nemesis and my own sister. "Yura, just wait..." I tried to refuse the potion she offered, but she unexpectedly grabbed my hand, forcing the bottle to my lips.
"Drink it quickly!" Before I could resist, I involuntarily swallowed the contents of the bottle, and soon after, a desperate cough overtook me.

"Oops... Did I go too far? Sorry..." Her apology seemed futile; the damage was already done. Surprisingly, this was not the kind of behavior I was used to from Yura.
"Why did you do that, uh..." I couldn't really get angry at my sister. I was just left with a sense of dissatisfaction.
And then, an overwhelming wave of sleepiness hit me. My eyelids grew heavy, and a strong desire to sleep washed over me, obliterating any thoughts of scolding Yura.
"Just don't do this next time, okay?" I could only manage a brief warning as fatigue engulfed me.
"Got it, sorry, brother!" Accepting her apology, I felt an intense exhaustion and promptly collapsed onto the bed.
"Really, you're incorrigible... Good night, brother." Yura's smile seemed unusually joyful as I drifted closer to the edge of consciousness.
"Goodnight, see you tomorrow, brother!" Her voice echoed cheerily as I succumbed to the deep embrace of sleep.
Waking up to the pressure of sunlight on my eyelids, I felt drained, as if all my energy had been sapped. Despite taking Yura's supposedly beneficial potion, my body felt unusually weary and strained. Even with a larger bed, sleeping with two people might have contributed to my discomfort and lack of proper rest. Waking up, I noticed Yura seemed unusually cheery, her energy almost overflowing.
"Hey, brother!" Her playfulness, unusual for her, involved some affectionate gestures I wasn't accustomed to. It felt as though she had siphoned some of my energy, the disparity between us stark and unsettling.
"Seems like you took Yura's suggestion yesterday," Tempus noted when I visited her again. Her knowing smirk, as she sipped her tea, hinted at an understanding of my current predicament.
Though I tried to explain, her reaction was a mix of amusement and nonchalance. "Try this potion. It'll protect you from whatever she's giving you. Don't fall for it this time," Tempus advised, her intentions unclear.
"Can't you just tell me about Yura directly?" I pleaded, but she preferred to keep me guessing, insisting on her enigmatic approach.
"Discovering the truth for yourself is more valuable than being told," she said, her rules and games still a mystery to me.
That evening, Yura arrived with the same potion as yesterday. This time, I accepted and drank it willingly, knowing it was different from what I had resisted before.
Once again, sleep overpowered me quickly, following the same pattern as the previous night. But this time, something was different.
In the depths of sleep, my consciousness abruptly awoke, stirred by some external factor, becoming increasingly alert and aware. In a bewildering turn of events, I found myself waking up to a situation that was hard to believe. A voice, unmistakably Yura’s, yet carrying a tone so different, it made me question my ears. Her words, laden with an explicit affection, were shockingly out of character.
"Really love you... can't hold back every day." The shock of these words, accompanied by an increasingly erotically charged atmosphere, was unsettling.
"Sleeping like you don't know the ways of the world... so cute." The way she spoke, as if she owned me in my vulnerable state, was disturbing.
Suddenly, a rustling sound followed by the sensation of loosening pants snapped me back to a worrying reality. Was this really happening? Her next words, filled with an overcharged desire, left no room for doubt.
"Yura?!" Unable to keep up the act of being asleep, I opened my eyes in alarm.
Caught in the act, Yura’s expression transformed into one of utter shock and confusion, like a culprit caught red-handed. As my eyes adjusted to the darkness, the scene before me was as shocking as I had imagined: Yura holding onto my pants, her eyes wide with an unknown intent.
"What are you doing..." The situation was beyond belief, the only logical conclusion being the one I least wanted to accept.
"Brother, I..." Her clear panic and trembling, unable to handle the situation, didn't last long before she closed the gap between us.
Suddenly, I felt her lips against mine - Yura had initiated a deep kiss. "Sorry, brother... I'll explain later... for now, just let it happen..."
Despite being caught, she seemed to resolve to continue her actions, a mix of desperation and resignation in her behavior. "Yura, stop this! We're siblings, aren't we? This isn't right!!" I tried to reason with her, suspecting the influence of the fox spirit's magic might have twisted Yura's desires, but...
"No, this is right... because we're not actually blood-related." Yura's shocking revelation completely contradicted my memories.
"So, it's not wrong. This love I have for you... I've nurtured it for so long." Her words revealed a deeply rooted affection, one that seemed misplaced and bewildering.
But before I could further process this twist, Yura’s actions became more aggressive, her tongue skillfully intruding into my mouth, cutting off my train of thoughts.
"I'm sorry, brother..." She apologized, hinting at some hidden truths yet to be unveiled.
"And I love you so much♡" Her confession was followed by an even bolder move to explore me more intimately.
