(Tsuki POV)
I tried to kick at the dragon, only for it to dodge away from my strike at the very last second and letting me fly past it.
For some reason, I could tell that the dragon was quite surprised to see me there but that's not what I care about at the moment.
I summoned several spikes formed from darkness and fired them off at the dragon's head, only to see it disappear from existence the moment it got within a feet of it.
So it has some power huh? But if this stupid dragon thinks it can mess with Aniue while I'm not around, I'll show it what happens when--
"Oh… You're actually here… Sorry, I'll leave this universe to you then."
It took me a moment to realise the dragon had spoken to me and then another moment to realise the voice belonged to Aniue.
The Aniue-dragon flapped his wings before disappearing like a mirage, as though he had been an illusion all this while.
"What… What the hell is going on?" My Aniue of this Universe muttered.
Oh! I can understand him now! It seems like the stupid God did lift the curse, otherwise I would have went back to beat him up again.
"Aniueeeee!!" I squealed, leaping up to hug him.
Aniue turned just in time for me to reach him, allowing me to hug his chest.
Aww~ Look at you being all shy! Aniue's even stiffening up too! You're still cool even when you're shy!
"I… I'm sorry! I didn't know you wanted the dragon! I didn't know what to do!" He cried.
Oh? Aniue thought I left him there to distract the dragon? Ehehehe~ Aniue, you're so cute!
I pulled back, "Aniue~ I didn't need that! You don't need to worry! Are you ok? Are you hurt?"
He furrowed his brow, "How many times I need to tell you, woman?! I really don't under… Eh? Wait… I can understand you now?"
"That's right Aniue! I was cursed by a stupid God that prevented me from being understood by everyone in this world! I went to beat him up until he removed the curse so here I am!"
Aniue blinked a few times at me, "Umm… I… I see… Then… Could I ask what is 'an yu eh'?"
Oh right, Aniue didn't have his memories of his previous life before this. Ugh… How do I even start explaining this?
Not realising my internal struggles, Aniue continued, "Also… Why do you keep torturing me?"
I frowned at his words, "Torture you? How did I torture you, Aniue?"
"Umm… You know… Leaving me outside here tied up on that post so that you can lure dragons here… Repeatedly hitting me with that 'truck-kun' stick… Locking me up inside your cave… That kind of torture?"
"What?!" I shrieked. "I would never do that to you, Aniue! Oh wait… Different Universe… Ahem… I guess I should start from the very beginning. I am Tsuki, your little sister from another world! You are my coolest, most handsome, strongest and also coolest big brother!"
Yes, Aniue is so cool that I have to mention that he is cool twice!
Aniue blinked at me, "Umm… Ok… Is this a setup to another torture of yours? Because I would really rather you just get right to it instead of going through this in a roundabout way…"
This isn't good… I'm guessing that the me from this Universe actually did those things to Aniue for some reason… Maybe in this Universe, my relationship with Aniue is actually really horrible?
And maybe Aniue doesn't fight back because in this Universe, he is just a powerless mortal?
Ahhh… How cruel of this Universe!
But even then, you're still cool, Aniue! You even stood against that dragon fearlessly despite having no power!
I cleared my throat, "Ahem… I think I should also mention that I'm actually from an alternate Universe as well?"
Aniue gave me an incredulous look, "Yeah… Ok… Why not? I understand."
Obviously Aniue did not believe me one bit, but I don't know what I should do to convince Aniue either…
"What do I need to do to convince Aniue that I'm telling the truth? I really am your little sister from another Universe!"
"Let me go?"
"Go? Go where?"
"Do I need to spell it out? You've held me here against my will for so long already! Why are you even acting like this now? What more do you want from me?"
Ehhh… This Universe's version of me is such a bitch. Why would she even keep Aniue captive like that? If it was me, such a thing would never happen!
Hmm… But what can I do to gain Aniue's trust? It's obvious this Universe's version of me already lost all of Aniue's trust with how big of a bitch she was, but I'm too unfamiliar with this parallel Universe to know what remained the same…
Wait… Do I even need to do that?
Oh yeah! I should be able to just fix Aniue by showing him the memory that the insufferable fake little sister of Aniue's told us to show, right? As long as Aniue watches it, everything will be fixed anyway!
Yes! That's the perfect plan!
I turned back to look at Aniue's direction, "Alright! I'll let you go if you just let me show you this video! How about that?"
That was when I realised that Aniue had taken advantage of the fact that I was distracted to escape, already having ran a good distance away.
Ahhhh~ Aniue is so cool~
He could even run so fast without any powers aiding him!
Whoops, better not get distracted again! I need to get Aniue back to his normal self otherwise that stalker bitch might take him before I can help him!
I flew towards him and caught up to Aniue's fleeing figure in less than a second, allowing me to pick him up by carrying him in my arms to bring him back to where the wooden pole was.
In an instant, I had him chained up to the pole again faster than he realised what was going on.
"There! Now you can't escape Aniue! Let me show you the memory, now ok?"
"What are you doing, you crazy woman!! Let me go! I do not consent! I do not consent!" He screamed.
Ehehehe~ Aniue is so cute.
"I'll let you go once I show you something, ok?"
"No! You're going to do something to me aren't you?! I definitely do not consent! Let me out! I don't want to be hit by that stick again!"
I don't know what Aniue is talking about so just let me do a little bit of mind manipulation and… There!
Aniue's eyes glazed over and he went limp, his words of protest dying out.
A minute passed before Aniue woke up again, blinking his eyes a few times before turning to look at me.
We held each other's gaze for a moment and I was prepared to receive Aniue's words of affection since Aniue should have regained his memories by now.
Yet, what happened was Aniue opening his mouth and eyes wide and…
"AHHHHHH!!! Let me out of here!! I don't want to go through this again!!!"
…
Eh?
Why?! Aniue should be fixed now, shouldn't he?
