(MC POV)
"Onii-samaaaaa!"
"Aniueeeee!"
""That fake little sister is bullying meeeee!""
I sighed and patted their heads, "Ok, ok. Your hot chocolate is getting cold so drink up before it chills, ok?"
Both of them quietened down and drank their hot chocolate, though they still glared at each other over the rims of their cups.
I realised that their problem was not even remotely similar to the original World's, at least in terms of scale.
Since this World's version of me had settled himself quietly here without meeting either of them, the two of them went to do their own things without someone to check on them.
And by a twist of fate, Tsuki stayed in the Earthen Plane instead of leaving for the 'higher' Planes.
Of course, when I say 'twist of fate', I really meant me doing some reality manipulation at the start when creating this World.
The result was the two of them finding out about each other and deciding to create groups to suppress the other little sister while trying to search for me.
The two of them then instilled their groups with their own ideals which made the two groups hostile to each other.
Elaria and Tsuki had fully intended to start a gang war to eliminate each other until they found me here.
The me of this World still did not have his memories returned so he only knew about Elaria but had no idea who Tsuki was. But he figured out that pissing off the leader of the largest Yakuza syndicate was a bad idea so he just played along and accepted her as his 'little sister'.
Because of that, the shop became known as the place that the two heads of the most infamous gangs would gather from time to time. Which is also why we would have no customers at this time of the night either.
It wasn't really that big of a problem since the two of them would also give generous tips like Brendan would as a way to compete for the position of the better little sister.
But if I had to say what their problem in this World was, it would definitely be the fact that they had to put on airs in front of their men.
Elaria had made herself appear as the tough and rough sort of girl who would prefer pants to skirts while Tsuki was the prim and proper lady that would always take small steps wherever she walked.
I don't know about you, but having to pretend to be someone else constantly to keep up appearances definitely sounds extremely exhausting. Neither of them could even relax at home since their men would also live with them as their bodyguards too.
Thus, aside from their own private rooms, my shop has also become a place where they could let loose and let their true selves show. That's why I had spare sets of their gothic lolita clothes stored here.
Elaria let out a long sigh, "Nngg… I don't wanna be a Mafia King anymore…"
Tsuki scowled at her, "You really are ridiculous. Who would have thought that you would take over all the other gangs and create that embarrassing title for yourself? I pity your successors who would have to live with that shame."
"Hey! It's a cool title, ok?! Onii-sama thinks so, right?!"
"It's pretty unique I guess," I half lied, still a little distracted by Lian Li who was enjoying being headpatted by me while she cuddled my chest.
Tsuki rolled her eyes but did not comment anymore, opting to let out a sigh of her own as well, "Ugghh… I too, wish to be relinquish my position as a Yakuza Empress…"
Elaria snorted, "You call yourself that and you still dare comment about my naming sense?"
"Oh please, you don't know the first thing about being classy."
"Oh sure, and your people are full of class, aren't they? They're all just a bunch of rude gorillas."
"Hmph! And your people are all just pretentious assholes who behave like they have sticks stuffed up their behinds!"
"Why don't the two of you just choose to step down and retire at the same time?" I asked, interrupting them.
Tsuki shook her head, "As much as I want to… I don't have a good successor that I can pass my position down to who could control the clan as well as I do… The moment I step down, they would definitely wage war against her gang."
Elaria nodded in agreement, "The same goes for me… I've taught them to hate her so well that anyone who I might choose would definitely try to attack them…"
Yep… That's the other problem…
Because of these two, they were always on the verge of a gang war where both sides were willing to kill each other at a moment's notice.
Elaria and Tsuki knew that I would not appreciate such a thing happening since it would be terrible for business. Thus, by using me as an excuse, they managed to convince their own people to accept an uneasy truce with each other for now.
It's obvious that the members themselves were not that happy with the decision but they were all holding themselves back simply because it was Elaria and Tsuki giving the orders.
But if either of them were to step down, even if they were to appoint someone who does not wish for war in their place, they would be forced to do it anyway or risk losing their men's respect and their own position too.
Thus, my little sisters have now found themselves trapped in this position where they were unable to leave while also forced to be someone who they were not.
The good thing was that they were now attempting to fix this by using this neutral ground to get both groups together in one place, which would hopefully let their animosity towards each other decrease over time.
The only issue was that this would definitely take a really long time and there was no guarantee that it would even work either. For all we know, they might even still hate each other when Elaria and Tsuki retire.
Not that this was really a problem since a little bit of reality manipulation would do the trick but I think that would defeat the purpose of this World.
At least… That's the feeling I'm getting from Lian Li anyway…
What should I do…
