Chapter 8 (2/2)

“What are you saying? It was my fault! Because I asked such an unreasonable request of Keith!”

Looking at Keith next to me, he had his head down Keith talked in a voice like he was barely squeezing it out

“……Nee-san isn’t scared of me?”

“Scared?”

What on earth would thathimself in like this, it will be extremely scary if he falls in love with the heroine and raises a destruction flag……

Socame early!?

“……In ic And this ti, I can’t control it properly”

I held my breath at Keith’s words ……So, he probably hates ic…… Is the destruction co? How about it?

“……Because I can’t controlpeople ……Nee-san isn’t scared of me?”

“……Huh?”

Involuntarily, I let out a funny voice So

“……Oh, so it was so like this~~”

I was relieved, and let go of my breath, while Keith finally raised his face There were such beautiful blue irises in his eyes

“If you can’t control yourit now”

In fact, in the gaic Keith is only eight years old now From now on, if he trains properly, he will surely be able to control hisschool

“Since our ic together with me?”

Fully at ease now, I said to hi face Then, the silent Keith finally said so

“……Nee-san still wants to be with me?”

“Of course! I’ll always be with you, or else do you hate me?”

Keith shook his head vigorously Apparently, I don’t seelad

“As such, even if so, in the future don’t shut yourself in your roo?”

As I was looking at Keith with relief…… Tears were dripping from his such beautiful blue eyes

“Keith! What’s wrong? Does it hurt somewhere?”

Suddenly, I panicked as Keith started crying We were just talking norh I desperately rubbed his small back, his tears wouldn’t stop And so, Keith continued to cry, while I was lost not knohat to do

“……Katarina, what on earth, are you doing?”

From the room’s entrance, I heard a low bass voice that was so low as if it was crawling on the earth When I turned to look, I sawthere with the face of a demon

“Katarina, just the other day you had promised me to rest and behave until your injury healed…… What is this destruction to the door…… Moreover, your stepbrother is crying like this…… I wonder what on earth you are thinking”

“Uh, uhh mother…… This is, well……”

It was as if all the blood had been drawn froe with a lion

“Katarina For now, please come to my room”

“……Whimper”

“Keith, youto take this with ht”

While pullingonto entle eyes she had for Keith

“……Mo-, other, it’s not……”

Keith raised his face like he was going to say so, but he couldn’t speak too well because of all the crying

Without realizing it, a lot of servants had gathered in front of the roo father was not to be seen As such, I was forcibly taken away by my enemy to mother’s room

After that, I had to listen to ht

After being released frorasp, I returned exhaustedly to my room, where Anne met me with so that happened, words flowing from me like a river I drank the tea, and was finally able to rest a bit Co so much? I asked Anne whether Keith was okay

“After a while, he seems to have calmed down”

“Is that so, I’ like that, I wonder what it was?”

“……Ojou-sama, since Ojou-sama suddenly broke down the locked door, ill happen when you see so your room with an ax in her hand?”

“……Uh, well……”

“If it had happened towith fear”

“…… I will go apologize to Keith later”

“Yes indeed Well, it ain”

“………”

Anne’s logical analysisat it cal down the door with an ax was a bit overboard I was a bit too hasty after detecting a destruction flag First of all, it would have beenlike stick a wire in the keyhole

But, since I can’t take back soht have been rather frightened, I will try and recover my relationshi+p with him

However, betraying my expectations, Keith ca so Froht” is the absolutely cutest thing he could have done Moreover, he seems to have defended me in front of mother, and my punishment of no dinner was able to be rescinded My stepbrother is not only very cute but also so kind He really is the best brother ever

And as such, curtains were closed successfully on the “Keith became a hikikomori shut-in” incident From now on, to make sure Keith isn’t lonely, I’ll be sure to love him properly!

However, due to this incident, ain in the rules of etiquette

In this way, I avoided the destruction flag, but faced another trial in the form of my demon mother and her etiquette lessons
