From where I stood, I had a good view of the kitchen and the living room. The morning sun cast a beam of light onto the floor, and in the middle of that spot, a black hill was forming.
It was a mass of furballs, the creatures my father called “Ke”.
These creatures had a habit of gathering in groups of the same colors.
The hill moved and one corner of it collapsed. I saw a small hand flapping through the gap.
With a sigh, I placed the knife on the table and approached the pile of furballs.
“Ran. Why do the ‘Ke’ like you so much…” I grabbed the flailing arm and pulled out my little brother.
Ran, who was born two years ago, was a pure white child.
He had loosely curled silver hair with light gray eyes and white skin. I thought his looks were similar to mine. In other words, he was like Father.
For some reason, ‘Ke’ often swarmed around this younger brother of mine.
Ran clung to my neck in silence after I rescued him.
Hmm, what should I do? If I left him like this, he would become the furball’s prey again. But I still had work to do.
“By the way, is Rin still sleeping?”
Ran was born as a twin.

As I approached them, Mel jumped from the top of my head onto the bed, and shoved herself into Mom’s hand, curling into a ball there. Her bushy tail was protruding.
Ah, cute.
Nevertheless, Mom didn’t show any sign of waking up even after we approached him.
Was he tired?
He probably was…
Dad was preparing crabs just now. Of course he would be tired.“Ray? Why’s everyone gathered here?”
“Father.” I looked back to see Father passing through the door of the room.
No good, I was zoning out just now. Since Ran was wriggling in my arms, I put him down at Mom’s feet. “The furballs were playing with Ran, so I brought him here for the time being.”
“I was wondering where he was. So it happened again, huh?” Father stroked Ran’s head with a wry smile, and Ran laughed up at him, full of joy.
It was really easy to tell who the twins preferred if they had to choose between Father and Mom.
Ran’s favorite was Father.
Rin’s favorite was Mom.
It was at that moment that the small shadow curled up by Mom’s side raised her face.
The shadow was Ran’s twin, my younger sister Rin.
She was a girl with white skin, straight black hair that hung down to her shoulders, and large black eyes. She didn’t look too much like her twin. Her eyes were kind, and she looked a little like Mom. In other words, she was very cute.
Those round eyes were tense as they stared at Father.
“Did we wake you up, Rin?”
“…!” When Father called her name, Rin clung onto Mom’s body even tighter.
What happened to her all of a sudden? It looked like she was scared of Father.
Surprised, I looked up at him, only to find that Father was baffled as well.
“…Nn, Rin?” Mom’s hoarse voice broke the awkward atmosphere. Biting back a yawn, he gently ran his hand over Rin’s black hair as she clung to his chest; he looked sleepy.
Then, Mom noticed us crowding around the bed.
“Everyone’s here… What happened?”
“Nothing, it’s just a coincidence.”
“What’s with that?” Mom took his time getting up, tousling Ran’s hair with a smile when the boy sidled up to him. I didn’t miss how my younger brother’s eyes were glittering.
Even though Ran was acting pampered and cheeky like this, he didn’t listen to Mom much. He was a cute, but also bratty little brother.
“Good morning, Sig.”
“Yeah, good morning.” Father gave Mom a gentle kiss.
Next was my turn.
“Mom, good morning.”
“Nn, morning, Ray. Did you take care of the chickens? Thank you.”
How did he know? Did I smell like chicken?
“Ah, I haven’t fed them yet.” I made a face as I remembered, and hurried out.
Disregarding the other chickens, it was scary to offend the rooster, Mustard.
When I left the room, I could hear Mom’s soft, confused voice from behind me.
“What’s the matter, Rin? Come on… Won’t you say good morning to Sig?”
Apparently, today wasn’t going to be “the usual scene”.
