"Hey, Niko-chan~"

"Hein? Rin, what happened to your face?"

"Pardon?"

"There is dirt. Let me clean it for you."

"Hehe! It tickles Niko-chan... Thank you!"

"Jeez! You're always too careless. I always have to keep a close eye on you or you might do something stupid again."

"*chuckles* Thank you, Niko-chan~ You really look like an older sister nya~ Niko-chan is cute and caring~"

"Of course I am! I'm the universe's number one idol after all!"

"*chuckles* Yes, yes~ Say, Niko-chan; can you play with Rin a little?"

"And why is that?"

"*pouts* Because Rin is bored. No one want to play with Rin..."

"*chuckles* Guess I have no other choice in that case..."

"Niko-chan~"

"Rin? What is it this time?"

"*pouts* Niko-chan is a meanie! Rin was just going to thank Niko-chan for the other day."

"R-really? I-I mean of course. The great Niko-Nii is used to act kind and get thanked up later."

"..."

"..."

"Niko-chan! *tackles Niko*"

"Whaaaa... Rin, what are you doing? You almost made the two of us fall."

"Hehe! Sorry, Niko-chan. Rin just wanted a hug~"

"Jeez! You really are helpless." Niko starts to play with Rin's hair.

"*purr* Rin's ear is very sensitive... but I like it~"

"*smile* You really are a spoiled child."

"?"

"No. I said nothing."

"Fine then~ *purr*"

A support

"Niko-chan!"

"Hey there, Rin! What brings you today?"

"I was wondering something, Niko-chan...".

"What is it? Don't be shy to ask."

"*blush* C-can you teach Rin what love is?"

"L-l-love...?"

Rin nods.

"W-why all of sudden?"

"Well... the other day, when Rin has saved that fortuneteller, she has told Rin that someone is actually in love with Rin so I want to know what love is so I can find who that person is."

"I-is that so...?"

Rin nods again.

"F-fine in that case. C-close your eyes and I will teach you."

"Okay!" Rin closes her eyes.

'That person who is in love with you is me, you idiot! Hurry up and realize my feelings fast, you idiot!'

"Niko-chan?"

"*sigh* There! You can open your eyes again."

Rin opens her eyes. "Hein? But I still don't get anything..."

"I did teach you but you were not open-minded enough to get what I meant. Now, if you'll excuse me; I have to go back to the frontline."

"Wha- Wait, Niko-chan!"

Niko leaves.

"*pouts* Jeez! Niko-chan is a meanie."

Ending
