Chapter 469 (1/2)
<hr><hr>
Mana who is still busy catching up with s.h.i.+ori didn't know that Wu Yan had already planned out her future for her. She's still contemplating s.h.i.+ori's offer.
”Mana, since you live very far from here, why don't you stay here for the night?”
s.h.i.+ori lost her memories of Mana but since she's her sister, she has to catch up with her, getting to know what she's been up to these past few years. She had a ton of questions to ask Mana.
Mana wanted to stay but since she's still part of AST, she needs to report back to her base in time or there could be trouble. Just like the military, there are rules and orders to follow or the army is going to be disorganized. Mana has to reject s.h.i.+ori no matter how she feels.
But, Wu Yan interrupted Mana before she can say anything.
”s.h.i.+ori, you shouldn't trouble Mana like this, if she doesn't return by night, her family is going to be worried sick. She is still 14 need I remind you…”
”I see, I-it can't be helped then…”
s.h.i.+ori sighed.
”However, I insist that you stay for dinner, I think we have enough time for that right?”
”Okay, nee-san!”
Mana didn't turn her down this time. She knew her sister loved her dearly from how she tried to get her to stay no matter how. She also felt bad about not revealing much to her.
s.h.i.+ori nodded her head in satisfaction.
”I would recommend s.h.i.+do's cooking but I want to make dinner today, is that okay with you, s.h.i.+do?”
Wu Yan nodded. He is getting a free pa.s.s to laze off, of course he's not stupid enough to turn this offer down. But, there are people who cared very much who is the chef for dinner.
”Eh~~~”
Tohka and Kotori made long sounds of protest. Even Yos.h.i.+no looked a bit dejected. It's very clear that if they could choose, they would prefer Wu Yan's cooking over s.h.i.+ori's.
s.h.i.+ori grumbled with arms akimbo.
”What's this? You girls got something to say about my culinary skills?”
”It's not like that, Onee-chan can cook but…”
Kotori fidgeted while Tohka finished her sentence with moist eyes.
”s.h.i.+do can make better food…”
s.h.i.+ori rolled her eyes at the girls. She stomped towards the kitchen in a childish huff.
”Since you girls got a lot to say about my cooking I a.s.sume there won't be any problem if I only made food for Mana and s.h.i.+do.”
”Nooo!”
Tohka, Kotori, and Yos.h.i.+no cried out with puppy eyes. s.h.i.+ori rolled her eyes at her own inability to handle them.
Wu Yan called out to Mana after confirming that s.h.i.+ori is in the kitchen.
”Mana, I've got something to tell you.”
4 pair of eyes fell on Wu Yan the moment he said this. Their stares p.r.i.c.ked him.
”What are you doing…”
Kotori narrowed her eyes at him. Her doubt of his integrity is pretty apparent at this point.
”Hey hey hey, stop looking at me like that!”
Wu Yan protested.
”I just want to talk with Mana about some serious stuff. Stop looking at me like I am some lewd wolf.”
”Is that right?”
Wu Yan's words failed to persuade Kotori. It is unclear if she's pouting at Wu Yan or Mana or both of them.
Kotori's not treating Mana like the other spirits. She is probably feeling threatened that Mana might takeover her role as the dominant younger sister. As for Wu Yan, well, she's going to need a paper to write down all the inappropriate stuff he did to her. For a start, she can still the lingering pain from his mighty smack on her rump.
Wu Yan smacked the table.
”Do I look like someone who would lay a hand on a girl he just met?”
”Ahaha…”
Kotori sneered at him.
”I wonder who kissed his sister who he just met for a day?”
Wu Yan choked on his own words. She's got him on the ropes now.
”Please, I really am trying to talk about serious stuff…”
Wu Yan tapped out by raising his arms. His appeal only earned hima cold snort from Kotori.
”Erm…”
