Chapter 4 (1/2)

“Oh, Hari! It’s so pretty!”

Mrs Ernst who looked at me in front of the mirror and liked it squaled like a girl. I even turned round and round in my seat in return for the enthusiastic cheers.

“Whoa! My daughter is pretty and lovely, no matter what she wears!”

Ehe, I’m a little… embarrased. When I was young, I was shorter than my peers, and I was too thin so.

You are so angelic that I cannot think you’re the mother of that ugly brother!

“I like everything, how about you, what are you going to do?”

The clothes I’m wearing right now were like princess dresses.

In a white dress with a lot of frills, the yellow ribbon tied behind his back was inflated to the fullest, showing off the cuteness.

Well. The clothes are fabolous, so it

certainly seems that I look a little cuter.

Now, I was making a impression that I wasn’t looking so good, but since I was older, I used to listen to compliment words. Ugh. Suddenly I’m a little sorry again.

How hard I’ve been managing my body shape and appearance! But now I’m

back as a little kid like this! Ugh, I want to go back!

“Yeah? you don’t like it?”

Ah. It wasn’t that, but I thought a little differently.

“No, I like it too.”

Today Mrs. Ernst was calling a dress maker into the mansion to buy me new clothes.

Looking at the clothes that filled the room, it seemed that all the children’s clothes were new, and mostly the old clothes were wiped out.

Thanks to that, I was playing a dolls, that I have to wore and took off dozens of clothes from lunch today to now.

“Then I’ll buy all of it!”

Ernst’s wife claimed and laughed wide. I wanted to say that I didn’t need so much clothes, but I just smiled at her bright face.

“Its been a while since I’m seeing Melissa smiling so brightly.”

Mrs. Ernst picked up my clothes and moved to the room next door with the dress maker. This time, she was to

choose the lining of the winter coat.

When I lifted my head, Duke Ernst came to my side. He was staring at the back of his wife, who was going out.

“Thank you. It’s thanks to you.”

It wasn’t until then the Ernst’s face brightened that I called her “Mom.” I stayed a bit, but I hid my mind and told Duke Ernst.

“If mom laughs, I’m happy too.”

“Hari.”

He said, the eyes of Duke Ernst quickly became murky. Oh, this uncle. I didn’t know when I was young, but he was very emotional.

He just tearing all of his tears out of this.

Besides, it’s because uncle’s age is similar to Eugene’s 20 years later, it seemed like a bit of goose bumps on my body to see him crying with a face that resembled Eugene, who didn’t seem to get a drop of blood even though he was stabbed.

“If you have anything you want, tell me everything. Dad will buy you everything.”

Mister. Thanks a lot, but it’s not good for kids, isn’t it?

“None is pretty!”

Just then, a sound that can stabbed a earmuffs came from the door. He’s finally here. He came and turned his head to me.

“It’s not pretty, not pretty! Nothing! Not pretty!”

It was the second brother, Cabel, who was shouting with a dignified position in front of the open door. He was clenching his fist

and staring at me.

“Do you know that you can’t become Arina even if you’re wearing that? Don’t be funny!”

“Cabel!”

Duke Ernst, who was next to me, shouted for the second. Cabel paused for a while, but soon began to stared again toward me who standing next to him.

I didn’t know how he will come to me in the presence of the Duke Ernst and behave badly, but in fact, this behavior of Cabel was within my prediction.

He would soon behaving like this though, because I called the Ernst couple in front of the three brothers as ‘Mom and Dad’ and stimulated them.

He opened hid mouth again with his face tight as if he couldn’t stand it, but it was faster for me to act.

“Dad.”

I whispered a little, pulling the cuffs of Duke Ernst with my hands.

“I’m fine.”

I didn’t forget to smile at him. In this case, this poor-looking appearance also helped me. Just by making a little bit of a

dead face, I was seem to be with mercy.

“Hari! What are you talking about, it’s not fine at all!”

As expected, Duke Ernst was startled and started to appease me. When I had a dark face, like I couldn’t seem to know what to do, his conscience was stabbed.

“Cabel! Come on. You should apologize.”

So, if I could give him those burns in this dream, it would enough.

“Hey! It’s my dad! Don’t call him dad at your will!”

Well, it wasn’t that I wasn’t guessing the minds of the kids, but I wasn’t too sorry for that, because there was something I had done to you.

Eventually, the second brother wrangled by Duke Ernst and disappeared for

a deep conversation between the two. After that I left the room to return

to my room.

Duk!

But as soon as I stepped out of the hall, someone stepped on me. I just fell down on the floor without seeing it.

“You’re really irritable.”

This time it was the third brother. Erich was quietly expressing the anger he had in his heart, unlike the second Cabel, his blue eyes had sharp emotions in the eyes.

Don’t just standing there!

“Hmph”

I have a painful knee on the floor, so I grimace for a while.

“Even if you don’t do this and you do such childish things, it won’t change fact that we gonna live with each other.”

Pang!

The flames flashed between the third brother pupil and my eyes in the air. I’m not like I was!

“Say something again.”

Again, a fire broke out between Erich and me.

“What’s going on?”

Mrs. Ernst, who was in the next room, plung her head through the door. At that moment, Erich’s eyes were embarrassed.

I have no intention of making a lot of trouble, but should I be afraid because of something that was not my fault?

“Um”

“Hari fell down with her feet folded. You have to be careful.”

said Eugene, who appeared suddenly.

“Now, hold my hand and get up.”

I waited silently, looking at my hand in front of me. As Mrs. Ernst was watching, he was playing a good brother again, but unlike Eugene’s friendly voice, Eugene’s face back to Mrs. Ernst was cold.

I looked at his hand for a moment and then slowly extended my hand. Then I smiled and caught his hand.

“Thank you, brother.”

Do you think acting can only be done by you? Pretend to be in good term and pretend to be a good brother, I can do it too!

I close my eyes and maybe for the first time as a 7 year old Hari, I smile widely. But for some reason, at the very moment, Eugene hardened like a stone in his place.

What is this reaction again?

I was puzzled, but anyway, conscious of Mrs. Ernst behind Eugene, I hold his hand with a smile and raised my body.

But at that very moment, Eugene’s hand, which I grasped with strength, let go, and wasn’t it to soon to shake my hand with percussion?

No, what is this! What? is this bothering you? Did you do it on purpose now? Did you purposely let me fall? You were such a childish child!

“Oh, Hari!”

Mrs. Ernst, who saw me fall backwards, walked fast towards me. I shed the person in front of me with a booty on.

Oddly enough, Eugene finally looked at me and frustrated as if he had become sober, and then reached out to me again. What he said next was really ridiculous for me.

“You should have held my hand well. Mother, I’m going to tell the maid to

give Hari more rice for meal. Now I see it, she’s too weak.”

I stood up at once.

“That’s right. I’m worried that Hari is so fragile. Maybe I should give her medicine. It’s winter.”

“It will not be bad either.”

Of course, Eugene wouldn’t be agree to give me medicine for my sake.

It was clear that young children, usually about this age, hate taking medicine rather, so he do it on a whim to make me stout.

Evidence is that I and my brother, Erich, used up all the childish thing so I had to avoid cold medicine last time in the past, but I wasn’t really a 7-year-old child.

There is no way to avoid the medicine that the Ernst give. Should I use this to take

care of myself?

Even so, this body is so sluggish that the limbs are like branches. Yes, my condition would be a little better than now if I had a

bite of medicine.

Then I can fight those ugly guys more efficiently….

Ugh. Thinking of this, I think I’m really is a little sly. It was evidence when I using my head in this way.

“Then, let’s go out when the day is warmed up. The whole family!”

Oh. Oh. The cold aura that was pushed

toward me somewhere made me stiff.

Mrs. Ernst was scattering bright smiles like spring sunlight, but the two behind her weren’t.

Well, there. I think Eugene and Erich are staring at me horribly again.

Mrs. Ernst seems to feel happy so much, that she did not notice it as she laughs happily until the end and go back to her room to choose the cloth.

“Now I see you have some talent, too.”

Shortly thereafter, an eerie voice poked into my eardrum. The next moment, I faced a black eye stained with cold-forged anger.

From the beginning, Eugene was incredibly mature as a 12-year-old child, but now I’ve never seen that expression at that age.

He was expressing deep hatred that was not easy to overcome.

“Family?”

The sharp cynics sharpened the air.

“Never will be.”

Then Eugene went go down the stairs after passing through me like that, as he originally want to go down the stairs.

Ugh. I, who remained alone, stood there and sighed. It turns out that the kids are definitely kids.

I’m too old to be hurt by the bad news of children like that now, unfortunately or fortunately. Ugh, uh, wait…Rather, I think I’m actually hurting myself more now.

Ugh. Anyway, after hearing such direct criticism for so long, it was a little new, but that was it. That was the past I went through while I was living with Brothers.

As I got older, I became more and more

sophisticated. This is rather cute compared to bullying. Yes, it’s cute.

Okay. It’s pretty cute. I quietly headed to my room, sweeping the knee I had put on the floor when I fell earlier. Ah, I think this is going to bruise on my knees.

The third brother, the younger one is careless. You shouldn’t be vigilant wherever you go. Sweet.

With that thought in mind, I walked down the hall. Then, at the end, turn the visible doorknob and I open it. A pink-covered room appeared.

Ugh, I hate this childish pink!

I shook my head in the pinkish things that were full in the room, but of course I couldn’t tell the Ernst couple something like that I didn’t like the room.

It was because I remembered how hard they decorated this room for me. Besides, I really liked this room in those days when I was really 7 years old.

It was a big room I had for the first time in my life. It was full of colorful objects that I couldn’t even greed for when I was poor.

But now…You know my age. Ugh.

Naturally, the three brothers have been tormenting me for almost a month with the Ernst couple working on my room and redecorating it.

“Huft.”

I flew over the fluffy bed. God, that’s good. Twenty years later, my bed is soft and fluffy, but this bed is as good as that!

Rustle!

When I heard the sound, I turned my eyes out of the window, and I noticed that the dry branches were shaking in the winter wind.

The wind was so strong that the window whom locked tightly made a loud noise.

‘Family?’

Suddenly, the words that Eugene just shouted were lingering in my mind. And the cold faces of the two people I saw at that moment.

I’ve always had that idea during the 20 years I’ve been in this house. Arina Ernst, during your lifetime, you must have been loved by them a lot.

So somebody can’t stand your vacancy and put me up there instead, and someone else says they can never forgive me for taking your place, but I just do it.

It was okay. Unless I have to start this crazy thing from scratch like now! Uh huh!

“Haah…”

Again, tears covered my eyes, so I struggled for a while on the bed. If it’s a dream, wake up quickly, wake up quickly!

I’m just ready to open my eyes!

This is the best timing to wake up! And I am the happiest new bride in the world!

Now, one, two, three, I wake up now!

Rattle rattle!

Oh, oh, oh, but all I could hear was the noise of the wind.

Eventually I dropped my arms and legs over the bed. I muttered with my eyes wide open.

“There are no dreams or hopes in this world.”

I feel bitter and suffering. Everything’s

black. Huh oh.

As if they know my noisy heart, the winter breeze still blows outside the window seems crying.

“Penny. Chase her!”

Woof!

I stared at Erich with a narrow eyes. He was playing with a dog in the hallway on the second floor and was giving orders to me just after he found me.

The puppy with golden fur is Ernst’s pet dog, the Golden Rat River female, whose name is Penny.

“Woof!”

I remembered this puppy carefully. How can I forget? Erich’s command on the dog is the years when I was scared and trembled because I was afraid to die.

Honestly, there was a time when I wanted to beat this puppy as much as I can did, but in fact, that wasn’t this poor

animal fault who only listened to the orders of the owner.

Hah!Revealing this towards me, Erich lifted his nose from behind the puppy. Huh. But do you know how it will be?

Hugh. I screamed out loud after a long breath.

“Penny, jump!”

Of course, I didn’t forget to throw the bait that I had prepared beforehand in front of the dog eyes. Take it Penny!

Penny plucked her ears and nose, and soon afterward, she chases the snack I threw and runs towards the end of the hall.

“Pe, Penny! Where are you going?”

Naturally, Erich was shockingly surprised that Penny’s betrayal couldn’t have been imagined by him. I crossed my arms and stared towards Erich.

Soon I wanted to show this in his eyes and convince him.

“Penny! Come here now!”

Penny was called by Erich. But she started to jump again after she snorted her snack and ate it all.

“Penny! Would you not listen to me? Who said to eat that thing? Then you know I’ll be angry!”

The kid didn’t have to be like this. What is wrong to penny in the first place?

“Penny. Good girl? Eat this.”

“Woof woof!”

“Good. Pretty.”

I gave the dog a snack for dog, and stroked her yellow hair. Contrary to what I had seen before, at Erich’s order, the penny of the present day shook his tail at

me and ate the snacks I gave.

“This, this is what.”

Erich waved his pupils as if he could not believe what he was seeing now.

“What did you do to Penny!”

“Don’t you see it? I gave her a snack.”

“Why do you give Penny a snack! What are you!”

I ignored the third brother and stroking Penny’s favorite place, and after doing this a few times, I’m used to it.

“Hey! Panting.”

Penny was now poised on me, turning over to my order. Seeing that, Erich opened his mouth.

“Kids, good girl.”

Heung.

Since this time, I’ve been searching all the things this puppy likes!

“Penny, hand!”

“Woof!”

“Penny, sit down!”

“Woof woof!”

“Penny, pretend to sleep.”

I took another snack out of my pocket and rocked it in front of her eyes.

“It doesn’t make sense!!”

No, it makes sense. It’s been almost two years since Penny became Ernst’s pet dog this year. Arina started raising this right after she died.

You know, you’re probably right. So, strictly speaking, it was about the time I spent observing Penny longer than the

time Erich took care of Penny at this point.

Of course, for the current penny, I’m probably the only person who has been face to face to her for about half a year, but I knew the insides of penny’s favorite snacks, favorite games, and where to feel good if I touched her.

And the reason I came to know this so well was the third brother, Erich, who threatened me with penny when he had a chance.

Huh, how much sweat I made to tame this puppy.

Even so, I finally reached the point where I shook him, and I remember that Erich at that time also been a huge trouble. If you look at it,

“Oh, oh, oh, my penny is pretty too.”

As I scratched the bottom of her neck,

Penny shook her tail, making a noise.

“Penny! What are you doing now?”

Erich seemed to feel betrayed by the rapid pace of Penny’s change of mind. When the eyes of Erich and my eyes met in the air, a sharp flame burst again like the last time.

“Erich! Trash! What are you two doing there?”

Oh, the sound of that crap. As I turned, I noticed the second brother coming down the stairs from the 3rd floor.

When I looked at him walking with his eyes open, looked back and forth between Erich and me, who were looking at each other, there was no enlightenment.

“Get your hand off Penny!”

Erich hit my hand, who was stroking Penny, and then he ran to the approaching older brother.

Erich is playing prank around and dragging me around. Even though I saw it, it sounded like this.

“Are you bored brother? Play with her.”

Cabel showed a welcome sign as he had

just forgotten that he had been scolded by the Duchess for a while.

Anyway, simple ignorant guy. So, after 20 years, you had a need from me.

“I was bored at home for a while too! Then let’s practice fencing with me from now on!”

Hey! What fencing practice with you and me is it?

“Okay, you’re my sword-fighting opponent from today!”

The second brother screamed out loud, as if he was giving me a great deal. Believe it or not, Cabel was a prominent swordsman in Arlanta.

The 9-year-old now, of course, is still immature, but still, his skills were far superior among his peers, so after a little older, he was able to win even within the knights’s squad and eventually serving as the knight division commander.

And I could be confident that I also helped to improve this guy’s skills, since this

rotten guy has been wielding a wooden sword against me for reasons of

swordsmanship since I was a kid, and he used to be a trouble every time!

“Come on, let’s go!”

But it all happened after the Ernst couple’s death, this time it’s still early. Is it because I stimulated them?

“Brother Cabel.” I said

I opened my mouth towards him.

“Brother, how old am I?”

“Uh? 7 years old.”

“Then am I a girl or a boy?”

“A girl…?”

The second brother responded to my question with a look like he has question mark floating above his head.

I’m right. This guy is the same person

who’s so clueless after 20 years. Of course, if you touch it wrong, he will

burst like a fire, causing you to devastate.

“Now look at my wrist, brother Cabel.”

I think I’ll break if you catch it with force. My arms and legs are the same. Anyway, what I want to say right now is this.

“How can a small, powerless girl like me be an opponent of a Cabel brother?”

The second brother stopped at that moment. Cabel was listening to me and making an expression saying ‘What?’

“I won’t fit in with you, of course as it’s

never going to be a good practice. Wouldn’t it be fun for you to do that

too?”

“Yeah, is that so?”

Yes! So, cancel it right away! Your swordsman opponent, I don’t need that shit!

“And Cabel’s brother isn’t such a cowardly man who enjoys fighting with a weak girl like me.”

“Yes?”

“That’s what some cowardly people do. No way! right?”

“Ha.. Ah..”

At the same time, Cabel was an easy opponent. He used to confuse his mind as soon as I put a little wind in the middle like this.

“…! I am not a cowardly man!”

I decided to nail the last nail to Cabel, who stuttered at my words and panicked. So I smiled at him and said to him.

“I know that too. How about Erich?”

“What?”

At that moment, Erich lifted his head as if he was stunned. He took Penny and listened to our conversation by the side, and then he looked like a stone.

“Even if I’m not suitable, Erich was missing his time playing with Cabel brother lately. How did you think about that?”

Oh, take that for granted! If you think you can compete with me, Erich! Of course you was wrong!

“Hey, what are you talking about now?”

“Because I’m a nice guy! So I don’t fight with weak kids. Now, Erich! Let’sgo!”

“Wait, brother!”

Erich insisted on his absurdity towards Cabel, but eventually he was caught and dragged behind before he could say anything else.

“I’ll stay with Penny. Have fun brother!”

After removing the two of them at once,

a smile of victory came to my mouth. Whoa. As planned!

“What’s up with you?”

Oh, I’m surprised! When I was intoxicated with the feeling of victory, I suddenly heard a voice from behind and called me.

As I looked back in amazement, Eugene, looking down on me with a cold face, caught my eye. Pretend to be mature this human! Ah!

No, there are three more pieces of shit after that, so if you send one, another one comes, right?

In the end, in this damn corner, why did I meet shit everywhere? Ouch, I’m annoyed!

“After the last accident, you has changed somehow. What’s the reason?”

Humph. Eugene’s keen question made me frightened. When I was young, I especially watched the ages of the people of the house, so I just acted like them.

Moreover, originally I thought I should not go against the three brothers to survive here.

In a way, it was good to say that they had been pressed by their flag since childhood. Just now that I’m determined to be crooked, would you believe that if I said so?

“What are you talking about? I was originally like this.”

“You said it was originally? Don’t be funny.”

Ugh! Let’s just go over it. In this

situation, the most popular answer is, ‘What was the originally?’ I said.

“How do I know if I’m different? Brother doesn’t know me at all.”

Did it work this time? When I looked at his face, Eugene was holding his mouth shut and sending a cold glance toward me, but the words he said in spite of my succession were a bit embarrassing for me.

“Yeah. So far, I don’t know you. You’ve been deceiving everyone and acted like a good child.”

“What?”

Oh no. What are you saying?

“Don’t you be a bother.”

Eugene’s chin was tight. He stare at me with a furious eye. Ugh. I’m not going to win like this.

Of course, Eugene never hit me once in 20 years, but now the eyes he sends are making me so scared that I might consider it now.

“I can’t forgive.”

Surprisingly, what came to his eyes the next moment was some kind of pain, more than anger and contempt for me.

“If you cheated and approached my mother with ill intention from the beginning, I will never forgive you.”

I stopped breathing and looked at Eugene’s distorted face. He was scattering the thrilling as if I had touched his wound.

After doing so, Eugene turned his back on me. It seemed like the last thorn I saw,

and his sharp, cold eyes, seemed to stick to my heart.

As I looked at his distant back, I gradually felt my eyes start to shake. I want to hit

something, can I hit one? He keep saying this and that.

What should I say if you’re telling me that? Who is the one who cheated? If you think about it, It’s me whom being deceived!

You came to say that you give me home

and give me everything I want to, but all I have for 20 years is that all three big and beautiful pieces of shit!

Wow. wow. And Eugene, you were the long-awaited first shit that I’m gonna win over.

“Puppy!”

Right then, Penny, who I couldn’t hear because of Eugene’s momentum, barked at my feet. I looked at where he disappeared.

“Oh, oh, oh, so I see, Penny, you

were a good girl when you were young.”

“Eat this and you’re free from me.”

Hey! I just lost my words to Eugene, and I was absorbed in trying to win Penny again. Yeah. Next time I must hit him back.

Of course, until the day of fulfilling that wish came, it was a secret that I was aiming for Eugene’s pretty head.

Woof woof!

It was strange. I wasn’t originally such

a cunning child.

“Hari.”

A few days later, there was a big disturbance on Ernst house in the late evening. I vomit everything I had for dinner.

It was because I was suffering from high fever again. But I couldn’t figure

out why I was sick. The doctor who visited Ernst again shook his head.

“It seems that her body has been severely hurt by what she suffered a while ago. It would be good to take a medicine that stabilizes the body for a while and relaxed her mind.”

“Is there really no other abnormality?”

“There is no special abnormality. However, her body is weak, and suddenly the others factor that causes the disease is that the

environment has changed.”

Oh, now I was an underdeveloped premature child. Besides, it’s right that the external environment suddenly changed

from 20 years to 20 years ago.

Uh, but it’s too much! I can’t eat something delicious, but why I can’t make flesh and blood even if I eat what is good for my body!

But as the days go by, I feel more and

more sinister. This is not a dream…

I’ve been trying to get rid of the unfortunate thoughts that keep revolving around in me because I’m wondering if it will be real.

“The fever doesn’t sink easily.”

The Ernst couple seemed to be worried about. It was the first time that Hari was

so sick in a row, so it was worth it. I saw my new towel soaked in water.

They thought I was going to vomit agein, so I said.

“I’m not sick at all. Go to bed.”

“Would it be possible for my baby to stay asleep when I was next to her? I wasn’t comfortable in leaving her alone in the room.”

Mrs. Ernst said, as I uttered my word. It seems that I am still uncomfortable

with them.

Her request was so desperate that in the end I couldn’t say more of the rejection, I couldn’t do it.

“Please rest, Hari.”

Mr. Ernst wrapped his wife’s shoulder once and then left the room.

“Dad, is she sick?”

“Yeah. Hari needs to rest, so go out quietly.”

I can hear the voices of my brothers at the door for a while and then disappear.

“No. I’m okay.”

When he said that outside the quiet room, I replied almost reflexively. Then Mrs. Ernst stared at me for a while and then slowly reached out to me.

“Hari. When you’re sick, you can be a little more childish.”

Soft hands like a spring breeze sweep over my head.

“I’m your mother. That’s your father.”

The voice in both my ears was as gentle and tender as the hand.

“Until you die in the future, you are our daughter and we are always on the side of

Hari.”

I felt a little stuffy inside, and I felt like I was tickling somewhere with an unknown feeling. I looked at Mrs. Ernst’s face in

silence.

She gently stroked my head as if I was a child and smiled gently. The silence inside the room suddenly felt peaceful. It turns out I don’t know how long it feels to be protected.

“Don’t worry about it. Sleep well. When you wake up, everything will be all right.”

Even though it couldn’t have been, oddly enough, while listening to her whisper, everything seemed to be all right like that.

I eventually tickled my forehead. Slowly fell asleep feeling a warm touch.

*******

“Hari, eat a lot.”

“Uncle should eat it too.”

“If you call me “Dad,” I’ll eat.”

Creepy!

“Ah, Dad….”

I uttered to the tomato salad in front of me, muttering the sound that wasn’t completely attached to my mouth.

The duke of Ernst who started to eat broccoli, laughing. It’s okay. I’m going to

eat another and you can eat it instead.

I may have picked in uncle a lot, but anyway, I was grateful that he eat this green shit instead, so I smiled at him while looking up at Duke Ernst.

“Hari, you have to eat it evenly.”

But suddenly the fork came from the opposite side, and the green shit I had just removed to uncle’s stomach sat down on my plate.

“It’s not good for Hari if you eat it, dad. She often get sick, I think it’s good for

her nutrition.”

“Huft. Then, you should eat evenly.”

“Okay. That’s right. Now, eat it

Hari.”

Oh. I looked at the fork pushed in front of me and turned my face down. Eugene, you! You know I hate broccoli and you’re doing this on purpose!

“Here, Hari. Eatwell.”I

looked at Eugene and chewed a green chunk of shit. Damn, I don’t get this crap!

“Me, I also eat it as well!”

“Yes, Cabel is also good.”

From now on, I decided cabel as a target for eating broccoli instead of me every time, and secretly starting plan on my head.

********

“Ah~Eh~Uh~Ee~Oh~”

When the meal time ended and I was alone in the room, I started to queer hard by myself. Even if I don’t want to, but it’s lisp everytime I speak.

Sometime I’m very surprised. It’s so hard in this age.

“Hari. I need you to take the medicine.”

I had to repair this weak body quickly, so I drunk the last drop of medicine quickly.

But for some reason, Mrs. Ernst looked at me with such a vague glance and smiled, then put something in my hand.

“I bought it when I went out. I’ll give you one for each medicine, so eat it.”

When I opened my hand, the yellow candy

wrapped in a thin translucent paper came out. Oh, I didn’t even say thank you, but she’s already out.

I grabbed it in my hand instead of eating the candy. It seemed to me that the sound of rustling in my hands was louder than the sound of the wind clapping outside the window. Why?

It’s kind of a waste to eat candy right now… At that time, a knock was heard

outside the door. Did Mrs Ernst return again?

“Yes.”

I told to someone outside the door.

I allowed that person to come in. Then, after confirming who the person appeared through the doorway, I immediately regretted the fact.

“What’s this, is it the expression of someone who hasn’t been well at all?”

So what, do you think I’m glad to see you? What’s more, I didn’t expect the visit. I just saw your face when we were eating!

“Why did you come?”

“It’s not like I came because I wanted to see your face.”

It’s not what I want either.

“I’ll just stay in 30 minutes and then I’ll go

out.”

Eugene said, who told me he was going to spend some time in my room and settled in a chair in the middle of the room.

“Did aunty ask you stay with me?”

“Look like you are not a fool.”

“Just go out now and tell them I already asleep.”

“Mother just walked out, do think anyone

would believe it?”

It was like that again. Eugene didn’t turn his head once, as if he didn’t want to be with me. But I didn’t care anyway because

I was comfortable.

You’re not fidgeting, right! You’re Eugene, who has no blood or tears. The room quickly became quiet as Eugene turned his head to the other side, silently, with his chin on the armrest.

I was so glad that I didn’t bother fighting with the other two.

I glanced out of the window, and then I still touched my hand. The candy. But at the very moment, Eugene eyes who dazzling like a fire and turned to me.

“Why is that….”

His eyes are nailed to the candy in my hand and his voice is digging into my ear was almost the same cold as the weather.

“Why do you have it?”

Have you taken interest in my candy? I replied bluntly while crumpling it.

“It just given it to me?”

Rattled!

But at that very moment, Eugene woke up from his seat and started to approach me.

Eh. I startled without knowing the words of his sudden act, but Eugene continued to

walk, and the heat of my body began to burst from the inside.

“Come on. Give it to me. That’s what Arina was eating.”

Oh, so now this candy is what Arina loved before, so you can’t tolerate I’m holding it now. Well, what is this? There was no day I wasn’t told that I’m not Arina.

It was said she died due to a chronic illness. So perhaps this candy was what

Mrs Ernst gave to her daughter everyday. I recalled her sad eyes I had just seen.

“Give it to me.”

“No, this is mine.”

Eugene said to me again, but I firmly refused. This is the candy Mrs. Ernst just gave me, why should I give you this? Moreover, the reason is because of Arina.

I harden the candy in my hand and grasped it tightly. The rustling sound

once again deafened. Was it because my head was gradually heating up?

I saw an irritated light on Eugene’s face.

“You can’t eat it. It’s different right now.”

“No, it’s mine.”

“Don’t be stubborn!”

I’m finally silent. I saw Eugene biting his mouth as if he had decided to go.

“What, why?”

Eugene reached out to my hand, which kept clenching my fists, but I quickly averted it.

“You’re gonna really be like this? You shouldn’t have it.”

“Why did your mother give me that?”

Eugene said nothing again. So, you don’t have anything to say even if you think about it? Oh my gosh. This is your sister’s favorite candy, so I shouldn’t eat it.

This kind of childish idea. What are you again? Pretend to be an adult but you’re

really 12 years old!

“Give me that!”

Eugene tried to force the candy out of my hand to see if it was going to work, but I moved my body and avoided his hand.

Haha.Do you think I’m such an easy woman? Since then, my nickname was Mellington’s flying squirrel!

“Brother Eugene, it’s so fun to see you now. You can’t have this? Can’t you? Yes, yes? Yes?”

Eugene’s forehead, who had been struggling and twistedseveral times

in his act, finally stood still.

Eugene seemed to be getting the nerves right when I waved my hand and even fluttered.

Soon he threw away all the face-to-face verts he ever had and blew himself into my bed.

“Watch what you say!”

It was true that we both forgot, but I was still sick. The moment I woke up to Eugene, a strong dizziness hit me.

“What, who is slow?”

Eventually, I was caught by Eugene and laid back in bed. Soon a heavy weight was carried over me.

“Look at this. I won….”

Eugene smiled, looking down at me, looking at me, but only one moment he was able to do the momentum. He and my eyes met in the air.

As soon as our concious returned, both of us were awake and frozen. I know I don’t have to say anything.

Even if I didn’t open my mouth, I could see that Eugene is like me now. What the hell am I doing in this age and what did you do with this now?

We met each other’s eyes, causing our pupil to shake.

We had just been impulsively fall together, and we both had serious mental blows blocked. Wait, what kind of situation is this!

“I just heard a loud noise, what’s going on?”

Just then, Duke Ernst, unfortunate or fortunate, came in and opened the door. Only then Eugene and I was able to get loose from the state.

“I don’t think you two was playing.”

“Brother Eugene took the candy mother gave me.”

“Candy?”

Eugene look embarrassed, as if he didn’t know I was going to tell this to Ernst. I

secretly teased Eugene while Duke Ernst turned his heas to his son.

I sticking out my tongue to him.

“Why did you do that? Give it back to Hari.”

“Eugene.”

“I eat it. It’s not in my hand right now.”

It was a candy that easy to have, but I wasn’t willing to give what Ernest gave me to Eugene.

So I was going to tell him again with the intention of telling Duke Ernst the truth. But in conclusion I couldn’t say anything.
