"Isaac Adler is mine to handle."

Charlotte began to speak in a delicate voice breaking the silence that had been permeating the room till now.

"To be precise, so that you don't misunderstand, I mean I will be solely responsible for taking him down."

"Yes, and I'll just borrow him sometimes."

"I didn't know you were so stupid that you wouldn't understand the meaning of taking sole charge of someone."

"I'm beginning to wonder, Charlotte... What is the real problem here?"

Mycrony, for the first time ever, tilted her head with a smile toward her lovely younger sister.

"You know very well that I dislike intervening in anything and just enjoy observing, don't you?"

"Yes, I know."

"There will be no interferences from my side in your detective work. Unless you want me to, no matter what happens in the future, I won't interfere or give advice and I won't influence the outside world either."

Seeing Charlotte's eyebrows increasingly furrow, a quiet smile appeared on her lips.

"I just want to be bitten by a mosquito once a week."

"...Sis."

"You don't love him, you just see him as an enemy that needs to be taken down right?"

When Charlotte didn't respond, Mycrony quietly tilted her head to the other side.

"Shouldn't you be thanking me then?"

"What?"

"At this point, who else but I can provide him with the blood that he requires without any complications?"

"...I can do it too."

"Charlotte, if you periodically feed on the blood of someone who still has symptoms of mana poisoning, it might actually shorten their lifespan."

Mycrony shook her head vigorously and added her next set of words.

"You can't just attack anyone at night like in the old days. Since the foundation of the August Detective Academy, the quality of investigations has been constantly improving."

"..........."

"That's why, I am your nemesis' most stable blood bank, Charlotte."

"But..."

"I'm actually making it more convenient for him to confront you, but it seems our lovely little sister doesn't appreciate that very much."

Seeing a speechless Charlotte glaring at her with a chilling gaze, Mycrony slightly flinched with her eyes closed.

"...What are you doing?"

"I'm trying to recall the sensation from earlier."

Saying so, a faint blush appeared on her delicate face.

"...It doesn't really work out... as expected."

However, Mycrony, whose expression seemed a bit off, soon staggered and stood up from her spot.

"I'll borrow him a bit more for now."

"Wait a moment."

With that, Charlotte blocked Mycrony's path.

"I want to make something clear here."

Even though Mycrony's imposing breasts pressed down on her, Charlotte refused to be cowed and stood her ground.
