�Oh, no. I don�t��

Reina�s eyes sparkled at the sight of Shirone, who lowered his head shyly.

Despite having an abundance of knowledge, Shirone was still an innocent child in regards to emotion. After all, he is still only sixteen years old.�

�You�re quite the cutie.�

Rian, who gulped down a cup of water from a table, said while pouring himself another glass.

�If he�s so cute, why don�t you just take him and live together. I would love to have Shirone be part of my family. Muhahaha!�

Shirone was even more embarrassed at Rian�s joke, but what he was feeling didn�t seem so bad either.

Reina realized something from her brother�s words.

�Oho, it looks like you�re close enough to even give your sister away.�

Rian retorted, looking flabbergasted.

�What are you talking about? Of course. Shirone is like a brother to me, but I don�t mind giving a witch like you to just about anyone. Rather, Shirone is worth too much. You�re not worthy of Shirone.�

�Oh, really?�

As soon as she finished talking, Reina jumped high enough to the point where it could easily exceed a person�s height.

While still frozen in surprise, she landed in front of Rian and pulled her brother�s ear.

�OWW! It hurts! It hurts!�

�I went easy on you because you were cute, but it seems like you are trying to walk all over me now.�

�It hurts! I said it hurts!!�

Although she was now a musician, Reina was once a talented swordsman equivalent to Rai.

The strength of her pinch was so great that Rian turned his head with watery eyes.

�Shirone! Run away while you still can! If you get caught by this witch, you�re done for!�

He couldn�t tell if he was joking or not, but one thing was sure, He couldn�t leave Rian like that.

�I�m sorry. I don�t think you meant any harm.�

Reina, who was staring at Shirone and Rian with a grim stare, pulled his ear roughly one last time and let go.

�Ouch!�

�Just know that your friend was the one who saved your life. Tsk tsk tsk, do everyone a favor and learn a thing or two from your friend. Such an immature kid.�

�Tsk, it was only because you held me in a sensitive spot.�

Rian grumbled while rubbing his ear. Then he looked back at Reina again.

�Why the hell did you come home? Weren�t you on vacation?�

�You haven�t heard? The news regarding Rai?�

�When did I ever care?� JrNovels.com
