“Oh, it’s you guys. Welcome.”

A young man wearing scarlet hakama and a dark red haori smiled at them in a carefree manner. Kyousuke immediately stiffened.

Eiri clicked her tongue. “…Tch. Are you still awake, big brother? You really ought to hurry up and get some sleep.”

“Believe me, I’d like to.” Basara shrugged. “But these little ones wouldn’t let me sleep—”

As Basara gestured at the twins, a white blade cut through the air just beside his tilted head. “My goodness. It’s hard being such a popular figure,” he boasted as he ducked and dodged the flashing weapons.

“…Is that so?” Eiri said. “Well, how about sleeping now? I’ll send you to an eternal rest.”

“Ah-ha-ha. To be honest, I keep dozing off. I’ve been awake all night, so I’m incredibly sleepy…though I might wake up if you dealt me some damage.” Covering his mouth with his right hand, Basara yawned, shifting slightly.

A black blade cut through the air where Basara’s wrist had been just a moment before. Almost simultaneously, the white blade swung downward in a follow-up attack that harmlessly sliced through Basara’s afterimage.

“U-ummm…”

“Now, now, you two. Your swords are slow! Why, you couldn’t cut a butterfly like that!”

“Shut up and die, big brother Basara!”

“Die die die die die die diiie, big brother Basara!”

“We’ve got you noooooooooooowwwwww!”

“……What the heck is that?”

Before Kyousuke’s bewildered eyes—right in the middle of the dojo floor, Basara stood looking bored while the twins Ryou and Ran furiously tried to cut him down. Black and white blades twirling in their hands, they came at him again and again, slicing in every direction without restraint or hesitation.

Their twin swords each looked like the disassembled pieces of their scissors, and as they leaped at Basara, they spun the blades wildly by their round handles, dizzyingly switching between over-and underhanded grips.

As twins, their coordination was uncanny. Sometimes together and sometimes separately, in sync or out, the brother-and-sister duo attacked again and again, skillfully catching their opponent unguarded—

“Hey, maybe you’d like to stop standing around and give me a hand over here?”

“…No thanks, big brother. I’ll try to contain myself.”

“Eh? You’re so cold, little sister!”

Basara continued to evade the twins’ attacks even as he and Eiri exchanged jabs.

With minimal footwork and only the slightest movement, he leisurely avoided their tempestuous assault. Their dancing blades never once even grazed his skin.

…It was an unbelievable sight.

Renko and Ayaka, who were also peeking into the dojo, were frozen in awe. Eiri alone wore a calm expression as she watched her two young siblings slash at her older brother.

“Hey, Eiri…what are they doing?”

“What do you mean? Isn’t it obvious?”

“It’s not obvious—that’s why I’m asking…”

“They’re playing.”

“……Eh?”

“It’s pretty common in our house. Since all their toys are real swords, they’re just using those to play. Neither Ryou nor Ran is actually trying to kill him. And even if they did go all out, they wouldn’t be able to, you know? The difference in strength is too great.”

“How insightful.” Basara grinned as he bent over, slipping through an opening in the twins’ consecutive attacks.
