Chapter 160 (2/2)

What do you even call someone who sleeps like this?

Thinking she was fast asleep, Hikaru carefully removed her blanket.

What the…

Caddie was wearing a pink, see-through nightgown. Hikaru could see her slim—no, incredibly thin body. It seemed as though an intense workout could break her arms with how thin she was.

What looked like an electric spark ran constantly inside the translucent, orange orb. A certified, unique item not even in Roland's memories.

It looks the same.

It looked awfully similar to the Holy Mana Ball they found in the underground dungeon. Unlike that square-shaped item, this one was an actual sphere.

I'll study it later.

Even with the blanket removed, Caddie remained still. As Hikaru climbed the bed, it creaked. His Stealth could block the sound, but not the shaking. Carefully, he inched closer to Caddie.

All he had to do was remove her delicate fingers from the staff, and he could easily take it. First, Hikaru touched her right hand. It felt as cold as ice. Gently, he removed it. He succeeded without a problem.

Phew.

Stealth could hide him from sight, but it would be useless once he touched the target. It was understandable, then, that he'd get nervous.

Next was her left hand, which was a bit difficult. Her index finger grasped at the staff, but he managed to pull it away. We're cool. All he had to do now was remove her left hand as well.

Someone grabbed his wrist, and Hikaru almost let out a sound. Caddie stared at him with eyes wide open.

「Big Brother, Big Brother, Big Brother, you've finally crept into my bed, you're here to eat me up unlike those s.l.u.ts I'm pure I reserved my virginity for you you can come anytime I don't mind as long as it's you Big Brother—」

Hikaru grabbed the staff, and shook free from Caddie's grasp. He quickly jumped down the bed.

「You're not… my brother.」

Caddie rose from her bed and gazed at the boy wearing a silver mask, his black hair clearly not from her brothers'. Her clear, blue eyes were beautiful. But it gradually turned red, and she screamed.

「Big Brotheeeeeeeeeeer! Big Brotheeeeeeeeeeeeeer!」

She howled like a wounded beast, tears flooding down her face.

What the h.e.l.l? What's wrong with her?

Hikaru was perplexed. Her loud cries would surely draw attention.

They're moving.

Igloo aside, Batros and Ryver woke up. The latter, in particular, was fast, running quickly.

I have to go.

Hikaru immediately made his decision and turned his heels. Then, his eyes met Caddie's gaze. Stealth didn't work on her as she was already aware of his presence. A chill ran down his spine. She was all skin and bones, but her eyes burned bright.

「You can run anywhere you want, but the Drakon Ball Staff will come back to me.」

Hikaru opened the door and stepped out of the bedroom, just as Ryver made it to the guest room. It was dark, and with Hikaru's Stealth on, the man didn't notice him.

Hikaru crossed the guest room, pa.s.sing by Ryver. After watching Ryver enter Caddie's room, he stepped out onto the hallway.

All he had to do now was escape. But the girl's words clawed at his mind. What did she mean by that?

Hikaru would soon find out.
