The socially awkward villain's furry superpower

Sienna sincerely hoped that, whatever form her new sister took, she wouldn't be too concerned with formalities. Mainly because their so-called "preparations" were neither extravagant nor particularly impressive.

They cleared a space in the living room, creating a large, furniture-free circle. The moved furniture then became the place to place offerings.

On the plate were Winkey cupcakes, H-hos cakes, and Oulus cakes—Sienna hadn't known about them before. When Maple Leaf brought out her stash, she suspected it was a gift from her staff—along with a few cookies—which she recognized as her usual bribe snacks—and even some soda. Enough for a small party.

The TV was still on, tuned to a purely instrumental channel, and they had all put in a lot of effort cleaning the living room. They had even cleared out a bedroom. Having an unused room was so tempting that it had unwittingly become an extra storage room. Now the room was ready to welcome their new sisters.

“I guess… this is all we can do,” Sienna said. She deliberately ignored the fact that she was still wearing walrus-patterned pajamas, and that her sisters were all dressed in casual loungewear.

Sienna glanced at her skill list again, just to make sure everything was alright.

"Is everyone ready?" she asked, glancing back at the skill list. There were some skills on the list that she'd never actually used. But perhaps that was for the best.

“We’re ready,” Athena said. Maple Leaf, standing beside her, nodded, while Trinity gave three thumbs-up in affirmation.

“Let’s get started, boss,” Teddy said.

Sienna sighed. Then, with a thought, she spent the skill point.

New skill unlocked!

Five-fold vibration has been added to your ability skill!

Sienna gasped. This was the same skill pattern as the others that allowed her to summon her new sister. Now, all she had to do was utter those two magical words, and she was done.

[Fivefold Vibration]

Summon Sisters Level: Max Level [ ]

[This allows you to use the Create Sisters skill to summon a fifth sister. It can be used immediately.]

Activation method: Voice command

No cooldown time

[Maximum number of new sisters that can be summoned: 1]

The description was the same as before. "Another skill that summons sisters," she said. The sisters cheered, but Sienna wasn't sure if she was as excited as they were.

This not only means more responsibility, but it also complicates things considerably. She had already struggled to explain how she had brought four little girls with animalistic traits together. That was already unbelievable. And now, more than a month after "Energy Day," a fifth one has appeared? It's simply incredible.

This would be a nightmare in terms of planning. Another mouth to feed, another person to care for.

She shook her head. No, none of that matters. Having another sister to love her, having someone to spend time with—that's more important than anything else.

Her more pragmatic side reminded her that this meant adding more strength and having another "mask" in the team, which was valuable in itself.

"Is everyone ready?" she asked, even though she knew what answer she would get.

A chorus of affirmative answers filled the room, and Sienna took a deep breath. She hoped everything would go well.

“Creating sisters,” she said firmly, her confidence exceeding her actual feelings.

A whooshing sound and a pulling sensation came, and she felt she would never get used to this feeling. Then, with a "bang," a stranger appeared in the center of the living room, landing with only a slight sway.

Sienna's first notice was that her new sister... was very tall. Only slightly shorter than Sienna herself. She was a redhead, but her hair was a dark color, almost brown? Only in good light could you see it was orange, a rather pretty color.

Sienna blinked, then forced herself to meet her new sister's gaze. "Hi, hello," she said.

The girl smiled. Freckles were scattered across her nose and cheeks. "Hey," she said, her voice confident and cheerful.

Sienna took a moment to look her up and down. She looked… a little older. Not quite an adult yet, but definitely around fourteen or fifteen, while most of her other sisters looked like they were just entering puberty. She was wearing a red plaid shirt with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows, and blue jeans tucked into practical hiking boots.

She looked… Sienna paused, searching for the right word, and then it came to her. Very outdoor-savvy. She looked like the kind of person who knew how to start a fire, pitch a tent, and navigate the forest.

"Hmph." Teddy snorted and strode over to his new sister, stopping in front of her. "Alright. Let me explain the rules to you. Also, how come you're so tall?"

“Uh, I don’t know.” The new sister shrugged awkwardly. “I was born this way, I guess.”

"Ha. Okay, it doesn't matter how high you are, because the hierarchy is: the boss first, then me, then everyone else, then you, and if you perform well, the bottom ones are the subordinates."

“Teddy,” Sienna warned, “don’t start bullying people.”

“I’m not bullying anyone,” Teddy complained.

The new girl took a step forward, crouched down slightly, and looked Teddy in the eye. She grinned and held out a hand. "How about we be friends, hmm?"

Teddy looked at the hand suspiciously, then shook it. "You know, a friend can also be a subordinate!"

The new girl chuckled, but didn't seem bothered by Teddy's "Teddy-like behavior." Sienna breathed a sigh of relief. "We should introduce ourselves," she said. "That way everyone will understand. You've already met Teddy. In order... that's Athena, those three bodies are Trinity, and hiding behind Trinity is Maple Leaf. I'm Sienna."

"Hi!" The new girl waved casually. "I don't have a name yet. It's nice to meet you all!"

Teddy tilted his head. "What kind of animal are you?" she asked. "Your ears are pointy."

Sienna looked up and noticed that her new sister had two furry ears on either side of her head. The ears were quite small and the same color as her hair, so they weren't very noticeable. However, she couldn't guess what kind of animal had such ears.

The girl grinned. "I'm a cow," she said.

"Huh?" Sienna asked, puzzled.

“Female moose,” the girl explained. She laughed, clearly amused by Sienna’s suddenness. “Look, I also have antlers.” The girl frowned, focusing her attention, and a pair of huge, glowing antlers appeared on her head.

Antlers sprouted from the sides of her head, starting as small protrusions, but quickly growing upwards and outwards, branching out until a large set of antlers appeared above her head. The antlers emitted a ghostly white light.

"Are those force fields?" Maple Leaf asked.

“I guess so,” the new girl said. “I can use them to bump things. I think I can also double as a coat rack, hmm?”

“I don’t want my sister to end up as furniture,” Sienna said. “But… they’re quite pretty. Is this your power?”

“Yes!” She nodded. This nod was particularly noticeable because the antlers swayed up and down with it.

"Can we have snacks now?" Trinity asked.

Hearing this, all the sisters, including the newest sister, perked up, and Sienna sighed. "Okay, we can start eating snacks now, but! But! The newest sister goes first. After all, this is her welcome party."

"You're so kind!" the new sister said. "Don't worry, I'll control my food intake! I promise."

Sienna stared at her, her mind racing. Her ability didn't allow her to name her sisters, but she felt she'd done a decent job so far. However, this younger sister might be a bit harder to name. She couldn't always rely on puns. That… wasn't very mature. "So, you're a moose? I don't think a name like… Moosey would be quite right."

The girl chuckled softly. "I also hope it's not called that!"

“We’ll think about it,” Sienna promised. “Perhaps we could do some ability tests?”

"I want to fight you!" Teddy cheered.

“I can examine the principles behind her abilities,” Athena added.

“I’ll see if she can stop people from stealing,” Trinity continued.

“Ah, um, I could… maybe make something to test her force field?” Maple Leaf tentatively suggested.

Sienna sighed. "Please, let's not fight with our new sister, bully her, steal from her, or torture her, okay?"
