Round 12.5: Demon!
With a dramatic swirl of shadows and sparkles, Mei-chan's wand exploded with crimson light.
"Sub-Round 12.5! DEMON FORM! For no reason other than to slay hearts!"
She struck a sassy pose, her magical girl costume now upgraded with glowy horns and glittering chains.

Yuki's Demon Form
Yuki stood in place, trembling again, as dark crimson smoke surrounded him. When it cleared—
He was dressed in a gothic-style demon prince outfit.
A black leather cropped jacket with red flame patterns hugged his upper body. It revealed just a bit of toned midriff, more than he ever wanted to show. Sharp crimson gloves, gold-edged black shorts with side slits that almost showed too much, and knee-high boots completed the look. His hair had been magically slicked back slightly, with tiny black horns and glowing red eyes giving him a dangerous, kinda hot vibe.
Yuki blinked in confusion.
"…This one's not that bad," he muttered.
Until he saw the back.
"A-Ah! T-this cape is split!? And my butt—!!"
He spun around, pulling it closed.
Still, the way he nervously walked toward Shin, trying to act cool, while his cheeks were red and pouting, was devastatingly cute.
Yuki raised one gloved hand, placed a finger under Shin's chin, and whispered in a low voice, "Obey me, human~ or I'll punish you."
His cheeks instantly exploded in red.
Shin blinked. "What… was that voice just now!?"
Shin turned his face away, trying not to giggle at the absurd contrast of cute and "bad-boy demon."

Aiko's Demon Form
The moment the smoke cleared, gasps echoed.
Aiko's demon form was pure deadly allure.
She wore a high-slit crimson robe with black flame patterns licking up from the hem. The robe clung to her curves, open at the front to reveal a black leather corset and lace. Her horns were long and twisted, her eyes glowing violet.
She walked with slow, confident steps toward Shin, hips swaying hypnotically.
Aiko placed a high heel right between Shin's knees, leaned down, and cupped his face.
"Bow to your queen, Taa-kun~ Or I'll chain you up in my dungeon."
A pause. Shin snorted. Then chuckled. Then cracked into full-on laughter.
"Y-you two… You're seriously enjoying this too much!!"

Round 14 – Make Shin Swoon!
The moment Mei-chan raised her baton and yelled, "Round 14: Make Shin Swoon!", no one expected the explosion of squeals that followed from the crowd.
A sudden blur cut through the masses—darting, weaving past students and security alike.
"Eh? What's—"
A sweet, high-pitched voice echoed through the cafeteria, filled with emotion and longing.
"Onii-chan!"
A blur of black hair and soft energy launched forward.
The crowd gasped as a junior high school girl, cute beyond measure, burst onto the stage. Her long black hair fluttered behind her like a ribbon of ink, eyes sparkling with delight as her lips stretched into a wide, beaming smile. She wore a pristine junior high school uniform—sailor-style blouse, pleated skirt that danced with each step, and knee-high socks. Her face bore a soft, adorable resemblance to Shin—clear skin, delicate nose, and eyes full of affection.
Without a second of hesitation, she jumped—arms wide open, heart overflowing.
"AI!" Shin stood up from his chair instinctively, arms already reaching out as if guided by muscle memory alone.
They met midair.
She slammed into him like a puppy reuniting with its favorite human, wrapping her arms around his neck and legs around his waist. Shin caught her perfectly, their momentum spinning slightly as he hugged her tight.
"I missed you soooo much!" she cried, burying her face into his chest. She planted a big kiss on his cheek, then another. "I saw everything, and I couldn't just stay away! Those girls are trying to seduce you!"
Shin chuckled, his face lighting up in ways neither Yuki had ever seen.
"Why aren't you at school?" he asked, though his tone wasn't scolding—it was full of joy, like he was secretly glad she skipped.
"I saw the livestream," she pouted, still clinging onto him. "They were saying flirty stuff! I just—I couldn't let them take you from me!"
Shin laughed and gently patted her head, pressing a fond kiss to her cheek. "Silly Ai… You're not even part of the match."
"I am now!" she declared, rubbing her face affectionately against his chest. "Because nobody makes Onii-chan swoon like me!"
Yuki's heart dropped.
Mei-chan's eyes sparkled with a mix of dread and awe as she adjusted her wand, her costume still clinging precariously to her generous curves. "W-We have a surprise challenger! A new force has arrived! And folks, it's a revolution… because no one affects Akashi-kun like Ai-chan does!"
Aiko leaned over to Yuki with a knowing grin. "That's his little sister. But from the looks of it… she might as well be his wife."
Yuki felt something inside him crack. "W-What the hell is this dynamic?!"
"She's a bro-con," Aiko whispered darkly. "You don't stand a chance."
Yuki's face went pale.
On stage, Ai continued her barrage of affection—cuddling Shin like she was molded to fit him. She sat on his lap now, arms loosely looped around his neck as she whispered sweet nothings.
"Onii-chan, your chest is so warm~ I sleep better when I'm snuggled here…"
Shin blushed faintly and tucked a stray lock of hair behind her ear. "You're getting heavier, Ai…"
"You're just getting weaker!" she teased, giggling. "Want me to write you a poem again tonight? I already finished the one titled 'Our Forever Snuggle.'"
The audience was dead silent… and then erupted into thunderous "KYAaaaaaaa!!"
Male students melted.
Some girls screamed "SHIP THEM!" while others yelled "LOCK HIM UP!"
One guy fainted.
Another whispered, "She's too powerful…"
Yuki, on the other hand, was trembling. Jealousy coiled like a vine around his chest. He's never held me like that…
He didn't even realize he was hugging his arms tightly around himself.
Mei-chan shook herself free from the chaos, lifting her voice. "Ahem! S-So! This is Round 14: Make Shin Swoon! Each contestant has five minutes to make Shin fall head over heels. But it looks like we already have a reigning champion just by default…"
Shin was busy booping Ai's nose.
"Boop~"
Ai giggled.

Mei-chan twirled her baton, her ultra-revealing magical girl costume bouncing with every move—deep cleavage, high-cut skirt, sparkling ribbons and shimmering effects still dazzling the crowd. "Ahem—our contestants now face their hardest challenge yet… Shin's number one weakness has arrived in the flesh! Will they be able to compete with the 'Little Sister of Mass Destruction'?!'"
Ai blinked. "Eh? Did you just call me a weapon?"
Shin chuckled, resting his hand gently on Ai's head, his thumb brushing along her bangs. "I think she's just scared you'll win by default."
"I'm not even trying though…" Ai pouted cutely, puffing her cheeks as she leaned into him.
The camera zoomed in on their snuggles. The audience collectively melted.
Mei-chan's voice cut through the chaos. "Okay! First up for this round… Yuki!"
Yuki took the stage with stiff legs and a trembling expression. His eyes kept drifting to Ai, curled up perfectly in Shin's lap like she belonged there. Every little cheek kiss… every head pat… it chipped away at his soul.
He cleared his throat and approached the chair beside Shin, who was still gently swaying with Ai in his arms.
"I-I'll… make you swoon," Yuki said, trying to sound bold but his voice cracked halfway through.
Shin looked up at him, smiling. "I'm ready."
Ai gave Yuki a soft, sly smile as if saying, go on then, try your best.
Yuki breathed in.
Then he crouched down in front of Shin, gently placing his hands on Shin's knees and looking up into his eyes. "Um… Shin… d-do you remember the day we met? You teased me, called me cute… and I said I wasn't a girl, but…"
Shin blinked. His eyes softened a bit.
"I… I think about it. A lot," Yuki whispered, cheeks turning red. "So I thought—what if one day… you called me cute again. But instead of teasing… it was real."
Shin's heart gave a sharp jolt.
"Like this," Yuki murmured. He leaned closer, hands sliding slowly up to Shin's thighs. "You'd call me cute… while stroking my hair. And maybe… kiss my forehead…"
"O-Oi—" Shin stammered.
Yuki, flustered but determined, reached up and gently rested his cheek on Shin's knee. "Wouldn't that… make your heart skip?"
Shin covered his mouth and turned red.
Ai tilted her head with mock curiosity. "Ara… is Yuki-kun trying to steal my position?"
Shin was flustered, swooning even. His hand found Ai's waist again out of instinct.
Time up.
Mei-chan lifted her baton. "Yuki-kun… impressive! The blush meter hit 100!swooning!"
Yuki staggered away, breathless and hot-faced. That was all I had…
"Next up! Aiko-chan!"
Aiko strutted confidently across the stage, shooting a playful wink at the audience. Her long hair flowed behind her, and with one hand she flicked it back over her shoulder, flashing her confident smile.
"Hey, Taa-Kun," she purred, leaning in with her hands behind her back, her posture bent just enough to let her skirt lift slightly. "You know… we've been friends a long time, yeah?"
Shin nodded, still holding Ai gently in his lap.
"So, tell me…" Aiko dropped to her knees in front of him, placing her hands on either side of his legs. "When are you gonna stop looking at me like a childhood friend and start looking at me… like a woman?"
Gasps from the audience.
Shin coughed into his hand, eyes darting away. "W-What the hell, Haa-Chan…"
Aiko leaned even closer, her lips nearly brushing his ear. "Want me to whisper something naughty? Or maybe… I should just bite your ear like this—"
"NO!" Ai exclaimed, suddenly turning and shielding Shin's head. "You are NOT allowed to do that to Onii-chan!"
The crowd exploded with laughter.
She swooned
Aiko's face lit up in triumph. "YES! I got a swoon!"
Mei-chan raised her baton. "We have a point for Aiko-chan! Second swoon of the round!"
Yuki froze in shock. "H-How…?!"
Ai grumbled and buried her face into Shin's neck, "Onii-chan's mine…"
Shin kissed the top of her head. "Calm down, Ai…"
But his smile lingered.
And so did hers.
Mei-chan dramatically raised her baton again, twirling it with flair. "And so concludes the chaos that is Round 14: Make Shin Swoon! The round goes to both! — But let's be real… if this were a sibling competition… Ai-chan wins by an infinite score!"
Shin chuckled and snuggled Ai a little closer.
Ai hummed happily, her cheek smooshed against his shoulder. "I didn't even have to try…"
Yuki was shaking.
He whispered, "I'm gonna need therapy."
