Who was he?

�Why did a child like this become a servant under my family?�

�Seriously?! Shut up, you old hag!�

The emotional atmosphere of the room shattered, and Shirone and Reina turned their heads at the same time.

�If you�re here, just wash your feet and go to sleep! Or even play a nice lullaby to listen to! Why the heck are you being so hysterical!�

Frizzy hair, and half-closed eyes.

Rian, still half asleep, came into the room while scratching his washboard abs.

Then after he locked eyes with Shirone, he tilted his head.

�Huh? What are you doing here?�

�Uh, no. I was��

If it were to be revealed that Rian and Shirone were friends, it would create problems. But fortunately, Reina took the lead.

�So, do you guys know each other?�

�Shirone? Yeah, he�s my friend.�

�Rian! What are you saying?�

�Hahaha! It�s okay. Although she has a nasty temper, she doesn�t really care about things like this.�

Does she really?

He knew she was pretty open-minded, but there was a high barrier between the aristocrats and the commoners that should�ve been hard to ignore.

�So your name�s Shirone. Don�t worry about it. Any friend of Rian�s, is also my friend. Even though he�s a little pathetic, he still takes responsibility for what he says.�

Shirone wasn�t looking any less suspicious.

From the receiving end, that could have been perceived as rude, but Reina accepted it rather well.

Genuine trust is born from doubts and suspicions.

�But you are one of a kind. Really, how did you think to play like that?�

�What? Shirone was the one who did it? And here I was thinking it was your hysteria acting up again.�

Shirone frowned slightly.

He couldn�t understand how words such as �witch� and �hysterical� were used to call such a pretty and friendly sister.

�Rian, why did you lie to me? Your sister is a kind and nice person.�

�Shirone! Don�t be fooled! This woman is a witch! She might eat you one day!�

Rian�s expression looked really serious, so Shirone could not reply back.

Reina spoke.

�Hoho, I�m sorry. My little brother is extremely immature, but I�m relieved to see that he has a friend like you. Take good care of him for me.� JrNovels.com
