       “Hai, hai! It’s time to get up then, yeah?” Slapping his hands on his thighs, the older brunette grinned and started to stand, but scooped Kotori up into his strong arms where he then proceed to put her over his shoulder like a sack of rice. “Even little princesses have to eat~”

    “Haaaa? That’s no way to speak to your big brother, Kotori-chan!” He moved to sit on her legs, giving her an overdramatic pout. “Ma’ says it’s time to get up–you’ve already had five extra minutes of being a lazy bum! Now, I was going to be nice and carry you out to have breakfast, but since you’re being a jerk…” 

       His fingers began to dig into her sides then. If she was going to be mean and call him names, then he’d simply have to tickle her awake!

    “Ko-to-ri-chaaaaan!~” Each syllable of her name was enunciated as the brunette shuffled into her room, soon flopping across her stomach for no reason other than wanting to be a pain. “You’re sleeping way too much, Kotori-chan, it’s time ta wake up!”

“I feel no such thing. What do you want?”

“I am locked up. I am still in the underworld right? It’s like a giant prison. I was… locked up while being locked up. And I don’t care much about what that mon… what your father likes. I’d rather ask such a beautiful maiden as you what you like and dislike.”
