The afternoon was like any other in the Saiki neighborhood. The sky was clear, and the breeze that passed through the trees carried the muffled sounds of boxes being unloaded at the house next door. A new family had moved in—something Saiki Kusuo had noticed briefly during the day. For him, this wasn’t worth any interest. On the contrary, the less social interaction, the better.

Saiki sat on the couch, trying to enjoy a moment of peace while watching a cooking show with his usual apathetic expression. He already knew the little boy he helped the day before lived next door—loud Yuuta, who, to make matters worse, knew about his powers. While the boy treated it all as a big joke, Saiki preferred to avoid any interaction.

But then, something unusual happened. The sound of soft footsteps approached the door of the Saiki household, followed by three quick knocks. Before his mother could even get up to answer, Saiki already knew who it was thanks to his telepathy.

A girl his age? Holding a bag of coffee jelly? The confusion made him glance toward the door with a bit more interest. He hadn’t noticed Yuuta had an older sister until now.

His mother opened the door with a warm smile. "Hello! Oh, you must be from the new family, right?"
