Joshua. You finally decided?

[ He stays offline for like five minutes before signing back on, kind of on the fence about this. ]

It would...make Rosette happy. But I understand if they don't want me to.

I've done a lot of damage here.

Maybe so, but Rosette would fight to make them accept you back. I did the same with my family when I brought Nii-san back.

I'm not interested in having her fight my battles for me. It's their right if they don't want to live with me.

Well, I am not one of "them". It's not my right to decide whether you stay or depart. Although, if this were the mansion, you'd be welcome to stay so long as you don't rouse trouble.

However, if you do stay, I request you don't harass my brother or our maid.

[apostleofhope]

...Why would I bother your brother or maid?

Opera;

[seeking_heat]

Well, maybe not my brother, but Hisui, contrary to her outward expression, is easily bothered whether one means it or not. Men especially. She has a phobia of male touch. Even taps on the shoulder are forbidden.

...Well, don't worry, I'm not big on touching people anyway. I'll avoid her if I see her...assuming she's dressed like Fiore a maid.

She is. It's the only thing she wears.

And if Nii-san tries bothering you, don't worry. For the next few days he has no choice but to do everything I say.

[ We'll just say this part's after his little run-in with Konata, so he's quiet for awhile before eventually muttering. ]

You never told me that your brother was Shiki.

.....

I assumed you wouldn't come back if you knew.

I highly doubt he'd hate you now that the horns are gone, but like I said, he got into some personal things of mine. So to take responsibility, he has to follow all my orders for 3 days.

Opera;

You don't understand. There was an instance...before... Aion had me fool them all into thinking I was cured. Chrono couldn't even sense that I still had the horns, and I really was...a good actor.

Shiki had no reason to doubt me, but he still did. He'll do the same thing this time. He won't let me stay when those three days are up.

I'm aware of what happened, and I can explain. Nii-san's not related to me, but was adopted. His original family, they were a clan that hunted down demon hybrids. These hybrids had all the appearance of humans, but they could tell their true nature right off. Nii-san sensed the horns on you, an reacted the way he did. Now that the horns are off, he has no reason to turn you away.

Besides, Nii-san may act obnoxious, but he's very forgiving.

Private//Cursed

He even forgave me when I hurt him that time.

Someone else said that, too, so I guess I'll have to repeat myself.

With the spell put on me, nobody should have been able to sense the horns or the demon in me. Those were specifically Chrono's horns, so if he couldn't sense them, then nobody else could.

He only judged me because he was suspicious, and he should have been. He still should be. I don't blame him if he doesn't want me there. I could have someone else's horns and be acting all over again for all any of you know.

Demon hybrids back home can hide their presence too, to the point where even their kind can't sense it. But he can. His whole family could sense things that even demons couldn't.

Talk to him yourself before you jump to conclusions.
