由雪分飾二角的荒謬戀愛喜劇。
雙倍的雪。
/
艾兒，一名剛搬到此地的上班族。
廣告企劃。
鄰居的房子看起來簡雅，可能住的是很有氣質的人。
而鄰居。
雙胞胎的雪姊妹。
此刻正在房間裏面對面坐著，一言不發。
或者該說視線各對著彼此。
這是瞪眼遊戲嗎？
二人的中間還放著一本書。
『女孩子如何攻略女孩子🖤』

「深情的眼神，感覺到了嗎？小雪。」大雪率先開口。
「完全沒有，大雪。」小雪注視著她。
「我也完全沒有。」
「我們太熟了。」
小雪看向桌面上的書。
「只是練習是沒有進展的。」
大雪也看過去。
「妳上次說，喜歡女孩子的女孩子看到可能喜歡的對象會做什麼反應？小雪。」
「是驚慌，沒有理由的。大雪。」
「很好，我們出去找找看。」
「怎麼找？」
「偶遇，小雪。命中注定的遇見。」大雪。
「哦？」小雪。

Arte had only recently moved into the neighborhood.
An advertising planner by profession, she was accustomed to looking at things with a critical eye. First impressions mattered, whether she was evaluating a campaign or simply getting to know a new place.
And the house next door had certainly made a good first impression.
Its exterior was simple but elegant, with a quiet, understated charm. Nothing flashy, nothing excessive. Everything seemed tastefully arranged.
'Someone with refined taste must live there.'
Arte found herself rather curious about her new neighbors.
Little did she know.
Inside that very house, two women were sitting across from each other in a bedroom.
They were twins.
L.Icy and S.Icy.
Identical pale, frosty-white hair. Identical beautiful faces. Identical expressions of almost supernatural composure.
And at present, they were staring directly into each other's eyes.
Neither spoke.
Neither looked away.
Their faces remained perfectly serious.
Was this some kind of staring contest?
Perhaps.
Except there was a book lying open on the table between them.
Its title read:
"How to Win a Girl's Heart 🖤"
The twins had apparently reached the practical exercises.
"Can you feel the affection in my eyes, S.Icy?" L.Icy finally asked.
S.Icy continued looking directly at her.
"Not at all, L.Icy."
"I can't feel anything either."
"We know each other too well."
It was a perfectly reasonable conclusion, delivered with the solemnity of two researchers discovering a fundamental flaw in their experiment.
S.Icy lowered her gaze to the book.
"Practicing alone isn't getting us anywhere."
L.Icy followed her gaze.
Neither seemed particularly disappointed. They had simply encountered a limitation in their current methodology.
L.Icy considered the problem.
"What did you say happens when a girl who likes girls sees someone she might be attracted to, S.Icy?"
"She panics. For no apparent reason, L.Icy."
"Good. Let's go find out."
"How?"
"By chance, S.Icy. A fateful encounter."
"Oh?" S.Icy replied.

二人一出門，就撞見仍在搬家的艾兒，新鄰居。
/
異常的驚慌，彷彿做了什麼非常對不起的事情，頻頻鞠躬，閃避眼神。
大小雪互相看了一眼。
似乎取得某種默契。
/
翌日。
艾兒買了伴手禮，想要去和鄰居打聲正式的招呼。
甚至還在喃喃自語，那對雙胞胎很迷人。
一開門卻撞見其中一個就正站在自家門口。
『怎麼不按門鈴？！她剛剛應該沒有聽到我的喃喃自語吧？！』
那一個雪，不知道是哪一個。
目光直視艾兒。
「盯--------」
「妳、妳好。」
艾兒被盯得更加手足無措。
『她在看什麼？！』
/
另一個雪緩緩走過來了。
也加入注視自己的行列。
「.......」有點，奇怪了這樣子。
艾兒率先開口。
「這個，是要請妳們吃的點心，以後請多指教。」艾兒走上前，將伴手禮交給比較近距離的，後來的那個雪。
「謝謝。」她緩緩接過。
『...怎麼那麼可愛？』
事實上，這一個是小雪。
「那、那麼沒事的話，我先進去了。...」
「等等。」另一個先站在門口的，是大雪。
「晚場電影，一起。」她從襯衫的口袋掏出一張電影票遞給艾兒。
/
『？？？！』難道是約會的邀請？！
她看了看電影票。
週末夜，驚悚偵探片。
很好。
標準約會套路。

The twins had barely stepped outside when they encountered their new neighbor.
Arte was still in the middle of moving in, surrounded by boxes and various belongings that had yet to find their proper places.
She turned toward the sound of the neighboring door opening.
And froze.
Two beautiful women stood before her.
Identical frosty-white hair. Identical features. Identical expressions.
'Twins?!'
"Oh! H-Hello!"
Arte bowed.
Then bowed again.
For some inexplicable reason, she seemed extraordinarily nervous, behaving almost as though she had committed some terrible offense and was desperately seeking forgiveness.
She couldn't quite bring herself to maintain eye contact with either woman.
"Um, I'm your new neighbor! Sorry about all the boxes! I hope I haven't been making too much noise!"
Another little bow.
L.Icy glanced at S.Icy.
S.Icy glanced back.
Neither said anything.
Yet somehow, an understanding appeared to pass between them.
Apparently, they had found something interesting.
The following day.
Arte had purchased a small box of sweets as a housewarming gift. She thought it would be nice to introduce herself properly to the neighbors.
Especially those neighbors.
"Honestly, those twins were gorgeous..." she murmured to herself while preparing to leave.
She opened her front door.
And nearly jumped out of her skin.
One of the twins was standing directly outside.
'Why didn't she ring the doorbell?!'
'Wait. Did she hear what I was saying?!'
Arte stared at the woman.
The woman stared back.
Arte couldn't even tell which twin she was looking at.
The woman made no attempt to introduce herself.
She simply maintained eye contact.
Staaaaaaaaare.
"H-Hello."
Arte managed a nervous greeting.
The staring continued.
'What is she looking at?!'
The woman's face was beautiful, certainly. But that only made the situation worse.
Arte had absolutely no idea what she was supposed to do with such unwavering attention.
Then footsteps approached.
The other twin appeared, walking toward them at an unhurried pace.
She stopped nearby.
And joined her sister in staring at Arte.
"......"
Arte looked from one face to the other.
Both women were watching her.
Neither appeared remotely embarrassed.
'Okay. This is getting a little weird.'
Desperate to restore some semblance of normal social interaction, Arte remembered the gift in her hands.
"Oh! Right! I brought something for you!"
She stepped forward and offered the box of sweets to the second twin, who was now standing closer.
"Just a little something. Since we've only just become neighbors, I thought I'd introduce myself properly. I hope we'll get along!"
"Thank you."
The woman accepted the box with a slow, gentle movement.
Her expression barely changed.
'...Why is she so cute?'
Arte felt her composure slipping again.
Unbeknownst to her, the woman holding the sweets was S.Icy.
And the one who had been standing outside her door all along was L.Icy.
"Well, um... If there's nothing else, I should probably head back inside..."
Arte offered an awkward little smile and prepared to retreat.
"Wait."
The first twin spoke.
Arte stopped immediately.
L.Icy reached into the pocket of her shirt and produced a movie ticket.
"Evening movie. Together."
She held it out to Arte.
"......"
Arte stared at the ticket.
'?!?!'
'A movie?!'
'Is she asking me on a date?!'
Her thoughts were rapidly becoming difficult to organize.
She accepted the ticket and examined it.
Weekend evening.
A detective thriller.
Mystery. Suspense. Probably a few terrifying moments.
'Very good.'
'A perfectly standard date.'
'Everything is going according to the classic romantic playbook.'

週末夜。
艾兒像石塊一樣坐在電影院裡面，眼前的電影似乎對她完全不重要了。
『為什麼...是一起來？！』她本來以為是其中一位，看起來比較強勢、率性的那一個和自己的約會。
但是接下糖果的另一個也一起來了！
在過程中，她從二人的交談得知，較強勢的是大雪，眼神較為冷漠和酷意。
而較溫柔的是小雪，眼神帶著一絲慵懶和可愛。
原本遞給她電影票的顯然是大雪。
她正坐在雙胞胎中間。
大、小雪分坐她兩旁。
/
突然，電影上演一陣驚嚇橋段。
「呀。」小雪輕喊一聲，突然的把頭埋向艾兒的肩膀。躲在她的袖口旁邊。
艾兒幾乎凍住了，這是什麼典型的戀愛約會橋段？
/
而大雪似乎感覺到騷動，緩緩將目光投射過來。
然後微微睜大了眼。
「小雪。」
「讓開。」
她平靜的隔著艾兒使喚。
小雪似乎不甘心的離開了艾兒的肩膀。
/
「哼。」說著，大雪卻自己倒向艾兒另一側的肩上，故意把臉埋進去，像是害怕驚悚畫面。
「好怕。」
小雪盯著大雪。
艾兒屏息。
「大雪，妳才沒有怕。」
「別多話，小雪。」
『...這對雙胞胎是不是有點奇妙...？』艾兒遲疑。
她沒有推開大雪。

Saturday night.
Arte sat in the movie theater as stiff as a statue.
The film playing on the enormous screen had become almost completely irrelevant to her.
'Why... why are we all here together?!'
She had assumed the invitation was for a date with one of the twins.
Specifically, the more assertive, straightforward one who had handed her the ticket.
But the other twin—the adorable one who had accepted her box of sweets—had come along too!
And now Arte was beginning to understand just how different they were.
From their conversations earlier that evening, she had finally worked out which was which.
L.Icy was the more assertive sister. Her gaze was cool, almost intimidating, and there was something effortlessly commanding about the way she carried herself.
S.Icy, on the other hand, seemed gentler. Her eyes held a faintly sleepy softness that made even her expressionless face look strangely adorable.
The one who had invited her was definitely L.Icy.
That much was clear.
What was considerably less clear was why Arte was currently sitting between them.
L.Icy on one side.
S.Icy on the other.
'What kind of date is this supposed to be...?'
Suddenly, a terrifying scene erupted across the screen.
A sharp musical sting accompanied something dreadful appearing out of the darkness.
"Ah."
S.Icy gave a small cry.
Then, without warning, she leaned toward Arte and buried her face against her shoulder, hiding beside the sleeve of her blouse.
Arte nearly stopped breathing.
'W-Wait...!'
The soft weight against her shoulder was unmistakably real.
'Isn't this... one of those classic romantic movie-date moments?!'
A beautiful girl getting frightened during a horror movie and instinctively seeking comfort from the person beside her.
It was practically straight out of a romance novel.
Except Arte hadn't expected to become the romantic lead quite so suddenly.
Meanwhile, L.Icy noticed the movement.
She slowly turned her head.
Her gaze settled on S.Icy, who was still comfortably hiding against Arte.
Her eyes widened ever so slightly.
"S.Icy."
A pause.
"Move."
The command was delivered calmly, directly across Arte.
S.Icy lifted her head.
She looked distinctly reluctant, but eventually withdrew from Arte's shoulder.
Arte barely had time to process what had happened.
"Hmph."
L.Icy leaned over from the opposite side.
And promptly buried her own face against Arte's other shoulder.
As though she, too, had been terribly frightened by the movie.
"So scary."
Her voice was perfectly composed.
S.Icy stared at her.
Arte held her breath.
"L.Icy. You're not scared."
"Don't say any more, S.Icy."
"......"
Arte sat motionless between the two sisters.
The terrifying detective thriller continued playing in front of them.
Yet somehow, the situation unfolding in her own seat had become considerably more difficult to understand.
'...Aren't these twins a little strange...?'
She hesitated.
But she didn't push L.Icy away.

電影已經接近尾聲。
大雪始終沒有離開艾兒的肩膀，
而是直接睡著了。
『...』感覺有點強勢，但是睡著以後看起來還是那麼清冷、無辜。
艾兒的臉上微微泛紅，看著大雪。
回頭，注意到一旁的視線，
轉過去，小雪正直巴巴的盯著大雪。
「大雪，真狡猾。」她緩緩小聲說。
/
艾兒哭笑不得。
/
電影結束後，三人慢慢回到了家門附近。
/
艾兒正準備跟二人道別，大雪再次語出驚人。
「想上樓。」
『上樓？？？太快了吧？？不行，現在在整理，不能讓她們看到一團亂的樣子...』
為了形象，艾兒用還在整理的理由推辭。
「那去我家。走。」
大雪逕自就往隔壁棟走去。
「等、等等？」艾兒甚至還沒理解過來。
「走吧，別拒絕大雪。」小雪拉起艾兒的手臂，輕輕追上大雪的腳步。
「？？？？？！」艾兒的理解甚至都還被拋在兩人後面。

The movie was approaching its conclusion.
L.Icy still hadn't moved from Arte's shoulder.
In fact, she had fallen asleep.
'......'
Arte glanced down at the woman resting against her.
L.Icy had seemed rather assertive throughout the evening, almost casually taking control of every situation.
Yet now, asleep against her shoulder, she looked just as cool and beautiful as before, with an unexpectedly innocent softness to her features.
Arte felt a faint warmth spreading across her cheeks.
'...She's really pretty.'
She watched L.Icy for another moment before becoming aware of someone's gaze nearby.
Turning her head, she found S.Icy staring intently at her sleeping sister.
S.Icy's expression was almost perfectly blank.
"L.Icy. That's so unfair."
Her voice was quiet and unhurried.
Arte didn't know whether to laugh or sigh.
Somehow, even that sounded adorable.
The movie eventually ended, and the three women made their way home together at a leisurely pace.
By the time they reached their neighboring houses, Arte was beginning to feel that she had survived a rather unusual first date.
She turned toward the twins, preparing to say goodbye.
But L.Icy spoke first.
"Want to come upstairs."
'Upstairs?!'
Arte nearly lost her composure.
'Wait, isn't that a little too fast?!'
'No, no, absolutely not! I'm still unpacking! There are boxes everywhere! I can't let them see my apartment looking like that!'
Her imagination had already supplied several deeply embarrassing possibilities.
For the sake of maintaining a respectable first impression, she hurriedly searched for an excuse.
"Ah, well, I'd love to, but I'm still organizing everything! My place is a complete mess right now, so maybe another time..."
L.Icy considered this.
"Then my place. Let's go."
And with that, she turned around and headed straight toward the neighboring house.
"......"
"W-Wait?"
Arte stared after her.
She hadn't even finished processing what had just happened.
Apparently, L.Icy had interpreted her explanation as a simple logistical inconvenience.
And had immediately solved it.
"Come on. Don't turn L.Icy down."
S.Icy gently took Arte by the arm and began leading her after her sister.
"H-Hold on, wait a second...!"
The twins continued toward their house at an entirely comfortable pace.
Arte followed between bewilderment and helpless compliance.
'?!?!?!'
Her understanding of the situation had been left somewhere several steps behind them.

「茶或咖啡？」三個人在矮桌上坐下，小雪溫柔的問艾兒。
「茶、茶...謝謝。」
很典雅的房子，是日式的。
但是一旁的櫃子上擺著一本奇怪的書。
『女孩子如何攻略女孩子🖤』
還有一顆可疑的黑色愛心在書名後面。
小雪手上正拿著茶杯，注意到艾兒的視線。
順手走過去把書塞進抽屜。
「哦。」
就像是忘了什麼再普通不過的東西。
艾兒目擊這一幕，哭笑不得。
小雪把茶端過來。
而整個過程，大雪都盯著艾兒。
『她就沒有話可以說嗎？！』
「請問...」艾兒忍不住對大雪發言。
「感覺到了？深情的視線？」
「哈？」艾兒一愣，隨即笑了出來。
那是什麼意思？
她在做某種角色扮演或是虛構想像嗎？
「艾兒平常是做什麼呢？」小雪轉移話題。
或是想表現自己比大雪健談。

艾兒隨意的回答了一些關於廣告企劃的事情。

大雪的眼皮越來越重。
她甚至微微點頭盹了幾下。
似乎艾兒在的場合，
她就能總是這樣安心的入睡。

「不早了，我該回去了。」艾兒注意到大雪的反應，怕打擾她們休息。
/
「回去？」大雪像是猛地很清醒。
「睡這裡。」
「咦？」
「我去鋪床。」小雪起身。
「我去準備浴室。」大雪起身。
雙胞胎的行為極度連貫。
像是再自然不過的流程。
「咦咦？？？？？」艾兒甚至還沒反應過來。

"Tea or coffee?"
The three women had settled around a low table, and S.Icy was politely offering Arte something to drink.
"T-Tea, please. Thank you."
Arte glanced around the room.
The house was beautiful.
Its interior had a distinctly Japanese aesthetic, with simple wooden furnishings, clean lines, and an understated elegance that made the entire space feel peaceful.
It was exactly the sort of home she had imagined when she first saw the neighboring house.
'So my first impression wasn't wrong after all.'
Then something on a nearby cabinet caught her attention.
A book.
"How to Win a Girl's Heart 🖤"
'......'
Arte stared at the title.
There was even a suspicious little black heart at the end.
'What kind of book is that...?'
S.Icy, who was holding a teacup, noticed where Arte was looking.
"Oh."
She walked over to the cabinet, picked up the book, and casually slipped it into a drawer.
Her expression suggested nothing more significant than remembering to put away an ordinary household item.
Arte watched the entire process.
'...She actually put it away.'
She didn't know whether to laugh.
S.Icy returned and placed the tea in front of her.
Meanwhile, L.Icy had been staring at Arte throughout the entire exchange.
Without saying a word.
Without looking particularly interested in anything else.
Just staring.
'Doesn't she have anything to say?!'
Arte finally couldn't bear the silence any longer.
"Um, excuse me..."
"Can you feel it?"
"Hm?"
"The loving gaze."
"......Huh?"
Arte blinked.
Then she burst out laughing.
'What does that even mean?!'
Was L.Icy attempting some kind of roleplay?
Or perhaps imagining herself as a character in a romantic story?
Arte had absolutely no idea how she was supposed to respond to such a strangely serious question.
"What do you do for work, Arte?"
S.Icy gently changed the subject.
Perhaps she simply wanted to keep the conversation flowing.
Or perhaps she wanted to demonstrate that, unlike her sister, she was perfectly capable of holding a normal conversation.
"Oh, I work in advertising!"
Arte began explaining her job.
She talked casually about planning advertising campaigns, developing promotional concepts, coordinating ideas, and some of the everyday challenges involved in the work.
S.Icy listened.
L.Icy continued watching her.
But gradually, something changed.
Her eyelids grew heavier.
Her gaze became increasingly unfocused.
And eventually, her head dipped forward.
Once.
Then again.
She was nodding off.
For someone who had spent so much of the evening confidently taking the initiative, L.Icy seemed remarkably comfortable falling asleep whenever Arte was nearby.
Almost as though her presence alone made it easy to relax.
Arte noticed.
'...She's getting sleepy again.'
She glanced at the time.
"It's getting late. I should probably head home."
She didn't want to keep the sisters awake any longer.
"Going home?"
L.Icy suddenly looked completely alert.
"Sleep here."
"Eh?"
Arte froze.
"I'll prepare the bed."
S.Icy rose from her seat.
"I'll get the bathroom ready."
L.Icy stood up as well.
The twins moved with extraordinary coordination.
Neither hesitated.
Neither questioned the other.
There was no discussion, no awkward pause, and certainly no sign that they considered this arrangement unusual.
It was as though they were simply following the most natural household routine imaginable.
"Eh? Eh?!"
Arte looked from one sister to the other.
"Wait, what?!"
'?!?!?!'
Once again, the twins had somehow arrived at a conclusion while Arte was still trying to understand the question.

儘管對艾兒來說這發展有點快得驚人。
但她確實對雙胞胎有好感。
她們可愛、迷人、漂亮又精緻。
就是說話跟反應有點...
奇特？
但如果不說話，光是欣賞的話，
簡直是夢寐以求的女孩子。
艾兒甚至要煩惱如果兩個都開口告白，
她應該選哪一個更好？
大雪氣場驚人、迷人的個性，
容易睡著的可愛反差，
缺點大概是不擅長找話題？
小雪溫柔貼心、看起來一副惹人憐愛，
況且行為似乎也比大雪「合理」，
缺點大概是總是被姐姐支開？
都很好。
更好的是。
這下她睡在兩個人中間了。
再好不過了。
除了緊張的要命這點。
正如在電影院裡的樣子，
艾兒再次被二雪夾在中間。
她根本睡不著！

Admittedly, things had progressed at an astonishing speed.
At least, from Arte's perspective.
But there was one rather important detail she couldn't deny.
She genuinely liked the twins.
They were adorable, charming, beautiful, and almost impossibly elegant.
Their speech and reactions were just a little...
Unusual?
Yes. Unusual was probably the kindest way to describe it.
But if they weren't talking, and she could simply admire them?
They were practically her dream girls.
In fact, Arte had already begun worrying about an entirely hypothetical problem.
'What if they both confess to me?'
'Which one am I supposed to choose?!'
L.Icy had an incredible presence.
She was confident, assertive, and effortlessly captivating. There was something irresistible about her cool personality, especially when contrasted with how easily she fell asleep.
That sleepy side of her was ridiculously cute.
Her only apparent weakness?
'...Maybe she's just not very good at making conversation?'
Then there was S.Icy.
Gentle, considerate, and so endearingly soft in her mannerisms that Arte occasionally felt the urge to simply keep looking at her.
Her behavior also seemed considerably more... reasonable than her sister's.
Most of the time, anyway.
The only problem was that L.Icy had a tendency to push her aside whenever she pleased.
'Poor S.Icy...'
Arte considered both women.
Both were wonderful.
Both were attractive.
Both had their own peculiar charms.
'How am I supposed to choose?!'
Fortunately, this was still an entirely imaginary dilemma.
Unfortunately, her current predicament was very real.
Because somehow...
She was now sleeping between them.
Which was even better.
Wonderful, actually.
Practically a dream come true.
Except for one tiny problem.
She was nervous beyond belief.
Just like in the movie theater, Arte had once again found herself sandwiched between the two sisters.
L.Icy on one side.
S.Icy on the other.
Two beautiful women sharing the same bed with her.
'......'
'How did things end up like this?!'
She had imagined plenty of romantic possibilities since meeting her new neighbors.
But absolutely none of them had prepared her for this.
Her heart refused to settle down.
She couldn't stop thinking about the two women beside her.
And worst of all, she was painfully aware of just how close they were.
'...This is supposed to be a good thing, right?'
It was.
Definitely.
Probably.
Arte stared into the darkness.
She couldn't sleep at all!

更令艾兒難以入睡的是，
兩個雪都輕輕地、非常自然地將頭靠在自己的身邊。
轉向她。
屏息。
她看看左邊，大雪。

她們的睡龐都好迷人。
『怎麼選？不對，我為什麼在想這個？』
胡思亂想之下，她終於睡著了。

早晨醒來。
她睜開眼，大雪正直直盯著自己。
「...早。」
她轉過身。
小雪也直直盯著自己。
「...妳也早。」
尷尬。
兩個雙胞胎只要醒著，似乎就不打算正常。
「按照攻略，我現在應該要起來為妳做早餐。以增加印象好感。」小雪注視艾兒。
『攻略什麼的...可以不要直說嗎？？？』艾兒哭笑不得。
「可是我爬不起來。」小雪接著繼續說。
『那可還真是謝謝了呢？！』艾兒內心已經不知道該笑還是做何反應。
「小雪。」大雪的聲音從背後傳來。
「是的，大雪？」
「去做早餐。」
「.......好。」
小雪顯然的不情願的緩慢從被窩爬起來。
好強勢，艾兒心裡面對小雪有些抱歉。
但似乎這就是她們姐妹互動的方式。
自己突然插嘴的話，也很奇怪。

What made falling asleep even more difficult was the fact that both twins had naturally settled their heads close beside her.
As though it were the most ordinary thing in the world, they had turned toward Arte and fallen asleep.
She held her breath.
Slowly, she looked to her left.
L.Icy.
Then to her right.
S.Icy.
Both were sleeping peacefully, their beautiful faces softened by the absence of those strange, unwavering stares.
'...They're both so gorgeous.'
Arte could hardly believe her situation.
'How am I supposed to choose?'
'Wait, why am I even thinking about choosing?!'
Her imagination wandered helplessly between the two sisters, inventing romantic possibilities she had absolutely no reason to be considering yet.
Eventually, exhausted by her own thoughts, Arte finally drifted off to sleep.
Morning arrived.
Arte slowly opened her eyes.
And found L.Icy staring directly at her.
"......"
The woman's expression was perfectly composed.
Her gaze was steady.
Apparently, she had been awake for some time.
"...Morning."
Arte offered a sleepy greeting.
Then she turned toward her other side.
S.Icy was also staring directly at her.
"...Good morning to you too."
"......"
Awkward.
Very awkward.
Arte was beginning to suspect that whenever these twins were awake, behaving normally simply wasn't part of their plans.
"According to the guide, I should get up and make you breakfast now," S.Icy explained while gazing at Arte.
"It would improve your impression of me."
'...Could you please stop saying the part about the guide out loud?!'
Arte didn't know whether to laugh or bury her face in the pillow.
S.Icy continued looking at her.
"But I can't get out of bed."
"......"
'Well, thank you very much for that?!'
Arte was rapidly running out of appropriate reactions.
The twins had somehow managed to turn even a perfectly ordinary morning into something bewildering.
"S.Icy."
L.Icy's voice came from behind Arte.
"Yes, L.Icy?"
"Go make breakfast."
"......Okay."
S.Icy remained still for another moment.
Then, with obvious reluctance, she slowly began extracting herself from the warmth of the bedding.
Her movements suggested that leaving the bed was a deeply regrettable decision.
Arte watched her.
'...She's really going?'
L.Icy was certainly assertive.
Almost astonishingly so.
And Arte couldn't help feeling a little sorry for S.Icy.
Still, judging by everything she had witnessed so far, this seemed to be the sisters' usual way of interacting.
L.Icy gave instructions.
S.Icy complained, or occasionally resisted.
And somehow, things proceeded anyway.
Arte hesitated.
She was only their guest, after all.
Suddenly inserting herself into the twins' established way of doing things would feel rather strange.
Even if she couldn't help feeling a little guilty toward S.Icy.

就在小雪離開，陣陣香氣以及廚具的聲音微微從廚房傳來時。

「交往。」
艾兒差點沒被自己口水噎到。

艾兒只敢看著自己的早餐。
「大雪，太狡猾了。為什麼偷跑。」
『偷跑？我聽錯了嗎？』艾兒的注意力回到小雪身上。
「妳甚至沒做早餐，為什麼可以先？」
大雪甚至沒回話。
「小雪...那個是...」艾兒不知道該說什麼安慰她，確實大雪先告白了。
確實自己答應了。
應該不需要先問小雪的同意才對，
是這樣吧？
是這樣嗎？

「艾兒。」小雪轉頭過來看向她。
「是、是？！」她心裡竟然有種背叛了小雪的奇怪心情。
「也可以喜歡小雪嗎？」
『？？？？？？』艾兒腦袋一片空白。

真的，前後的。
儘管小雪只是說了喜歡，而不是交往。
「小雪。」大雪開口。
『糟糕，她會怎麼做？』艾兒擔心的看向大雪。
「去找下一個。」大雪。

『太尷尬了。...』艾兒甚至不知道怎麼安慰小雪。
但畢竟是大雪先...
即使她趁小雪去做早餐。
甚至眼前的早餐都是小雪做的。
「小雪...我...」艾兒試著安慰她。
「絕對會比艾兒更好。」小雪突然。
『咦？？？』怎麼那麼快就恢復了鎮定？
「小雪的女朋友。」她繼續說。
「會讓大雪吃醋到不行，絕對。」
艾兒對這個結論再次感到哭笑不得。
「很好。」大雪。
「這才是小雪。」
即使如此，小雪還是微微垂下臉。
看了艾兒一眼。
大家的早餐都已經空了。
「我來收盤子。」小雪起身，像是想轉換情緒，或是轉換話題。
「我也來幫忙吧。」艾兒跟著。
畢竟她還是感到一絲微妙的歉意。
即使好像並不需要。

With S.Icy gone, the bedroom gradually filled with the faint sounds of cooking.
The gentle clatter of kitchen utensils drifted in from elsewhere in the house, accompanied by the increasingly pleasant aroma of breakfast.
Arte was still lying beside L.Icy when the latter finally spoke.
"We should make my sister even more jealous while we have the chance."
She was still staring directly at Arte.
"What?"
Arte turned her attention back to her.
"Let's date."
"......"
Arte nearly choked on her own saliva.
"Here?! Just like that?!"
'Was that a confession?!'
'That's it?!'
L.Icy moved a little closer.
"Well?"
"I... I?!"
Arte could hardly believe what she was hearing.
A little while later, S.Icy finished preparing breakfast.
"Breakfast is rea—"
She approached the bedroom doorway.
Then stopped.
Her voice trailed off.
"......"
S.Icy stood motionless.
"Oh."
Arte immediately, but gently, pushed L.Icy away.
"W-We were just...!"
Her cheeks flushed bright red.
L.Icy, meanwhile, looked entirely unconcerned.
She lifted her head and glanced toward her sister.
"Let's go. Breakfast."
As casually as if nothing unusual had happened.
At the breakfast table, the atmosphere was unbearable.
S.Icy kept staring at L.Icy with an expression of unmistakable resentment.
L.Icy appeared completely unaffected, her gaze moving leisurely between her breakfast and Arte.
Arte, on the other hand, could barely bring herself to look at anything except the food in front of her.
'L-Let's just eat...'
"L.Icy, that's so unfair."
S.Icy finally broke the silence.
"Why did you go ahead without me?"
'Go ahead...?'
Arte looked up.
'Did I hear that correctly?'
"You didn't even make breakfast. Why do you get to go first?"
L.Icy didn't bother answering.
"S.Icy, um, about that..."
Arte struggled to find something comforting to say.
Because, technically, S.Icy wasn't wrong.
L.Icy had confessed first.
And Arte had accepted.
Surely she didn't need to ask S.Icy's permission before agreeing to date L.Icy.
Right?
...Right?
"Arte."
S.Icy turned toward her.
"Y-Yes?!"
For some inexplicable reason, Arte felt as though she had betrayed S.Icy.
Which made absolutely no sense.
They weren't dating.
They had never been dating.
So why did she feel guilty?!
"Can you like S.Icy too?"
'?!?!?!'
Arte's mind went completely blank.
It had happened.
It had actually happened.
One after the other.
The very situation she had spent the previous night worrying about.
Although, technically, S.Icy had only asked to be liked.
She hadn't explicitly asked Arte to date her.
That was different.
Probably.
"S.Icy."
L.Icy spoke.
'Oh no.'
Arte turned toward her anxiously.
'What's she going to do?!'
"Go find someone else."
"......"
S.Icy's expression changed immediately.
It was unmistakable.
The look of someone who had just received a rejection letter.
"...Okay."
'This is so awkward...'
Arte had absolutely no idea how to comfort her.
But L.Icy had confessed first.
Even if she had deliberately waited until S.Icy was busy making breakfast.
Even if the breakfast sitting right in front of them had been prepared entirely by S.Icy.
'S.Icy...'
Arte felt increasingly sorry for her.
"S.Icy, I..."
"Definitely better than Arte."
"Eh?!"
Arte blinked.
'How did she recover so quickly?!'
"S.Icy's girlfriend," S.Icy continued.
"She'll make L.Icy incredibly jealous. Definitely."
"......"
Arte stared at her.
'So that's your conclusion?!'
She didn't know whether to laugh or sigh.
The younger twin had apparently decided that the best response to losing this particular romantic competition was to find an even better girlfriend and make her sister regret everything.
"Good."
L.Icy nodded.
"That's my S.Icy."
Despite her sudden declaration of determination, S.Icy lowered her face slightly.
Her expression still carried a trace of disappointment.
She glanced at Arte.
Arte noticed.
And somehow, that small glance made her feel guilty all over again.
By then, everyone had finished breakfast.
"I'll clear the dishes."
S.Icy stood up.
Perhaps she wanted to distract herself.
Or perhaps she simply wanted to move on from the conversation.
"I'll help you."
Arte rose as well.
After all, she still felt a faint, uncomfortable sense of apology toward S.Icy.
Even though, strictly speaking, there wasn't anything she needed to apologize for.
At least...
There probably wasn't.
