-Yuuki Family Household-

"What are you doing?" Nana asked while leaning against the door frame that acted as the entrance to Emiya’s bedroom she looked at her dear twin sister, who for some reason was currently on her knees as she rummaged for something beneath the bed in Emiya's room. 

The wardrobe, cupboard, and even the drawers had all been opened and emptied out, leaving the room a chaotic mess. 

"Oi, we already have enough trouble with that guy so don't go causing more issues with him and making things more difficult for our sister!"

The youngest’s tail twitched, Momo turned around and waved to her to walk inside. 

"Ah, there you are Nana. Come and help me, I want to find at least one of Emiya's secret stashes.” She said without missing a beat, getting a confused stare from Nana who was starting to wonder just what her twin was plotting this time. 

“Secret stashes?” 

“I learned from our sister's note that teenage boys tend to hide large stacks of perverted books hidden somewhere in their room. If we can get a hold of Emiya’s, then we'll have complete control over the owner of this house!" said Momo as she found something through touch and pulled a large cardboard box from under the bed. Expecting to be met with a wealth of adult-themed books, her expectations were shattered which forced a sigh of disappointment at what happened to be an assortment of metal scraps. "These aren't hentai mangas… just random pieces of junk, copper wiring, broken devices, batteries and even… cookbooks? Is this his room or our sister's!?"

Rummaging at the very bottom to try and find the object of her search, there were just more books on strange things like computers and even guns — something Momo knew she could have found in her eldest sister's room.

"Are you out of your mind!?" Nana on the other hand couldn't believe her ears, not only was Momo searching for trouble but also attempting to do something much worse. "You're trying to blackmail him into having us stay in the house? Nope, count me out of it. I don't want to be lectured by him just to get sent back home by Zastin or an angry Lala."

"I'm not trying to blackmail him, come on now, be serious, I'm only trying to get my hands on sensitive information he wouldn't want to be known by other people and to negotiate a possible better deal between us in exchange for keeping my mouth shut."

"That's literally the definition of blackmail!”

Observing her younger sister's flushed face and genuine panic, Momo couldn't help but chuckle. She stood up and placed her hands in the air before resting against the bed's frame, a gentle smile on her face that resembled that of a fox in Nana's eyes. "Alright, alright, calm down. I'm just messing with you," she said, a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. "Even if I did stumble upon some of his secret stash, I wouldn't stoop to such levels. We had a good conversation yesterday, and I wouldn't want it ruined by such a silly act — I'm not that dumb."

Leaning down, Momo continued her search beneath the beds, her hands sifting through various items scattered on the floor. "I just got bored and was looking through his stuff for anything that might pique my interest," she explained, her voice muffled as she peered under the bed skirts. "But seriously, I was surprised to find nothing perverted hidden beneath his bed. It's strange that a young guy like him doesn't have any secret magazines or anything. I mean, as the youngest sister it's my right to get to know what kind of person my future brother-in-law is, right? So given this is our last day here, I might as well look around a bit. Though the other sibling's place had quite a few when I was curiously looking around."
