6 Chapter 6: My Mischievous Little Sister Unlocks the Mansion? (1/2)

Angered by this, Dylan scanned his surroundings trying to find the culprit of this prank. He saw a six year old girl standing on top of him. The scarlet hair of the girl was tied back on a ponytail. Her eyes shone like a ruby while her little porcelain face hung a mischievous smile. She wore a ragged brown dress but it gave people who saw her an impression of seeing a little fairy who was pretending to be a poor girl. One could predict that this girl would become a woman who could bring the downfall of cities or nations.

”Hehehe, how did my fart smell~ I mean how are you, big bro? Are you awake now?” the pretty little scarlet-haired girl chuckled as she saw that her brother`s eyelid opened. Then, she laughed heartily as though she did the right thing but her expression changed as she saw that 18-year old man`s grim look. She immediately got off the bed and fled for her life.

”You little... How dare you... Scarlet!”. When Dylan saw this little scarlet-haired girl, he immediately remembered who she was. Scarlet, the adopted little sister of his past self. Dylan immediate gave chase to Scarlet as he got out of his bed and intercepted Scarlet at the door who was running towards it. The terrified little girl was grabbed by his elder and was locked into one of his hand. The girl struggled as she was carried by her brother in a helpless manner.

Dylan rubbed his fist on the hair of the little girl.”Take this!”.

The little girl cried indignantly, ” I... Ay jas wanned to- to wayk ap, b-big brooow! Waaah”. As tears flowed down through her pretty little face and snot coming out profusely from her sculpture-like nose, she tried to say 'I just wanted to wake up, big bro'.

”Okay, okay. There, there. I'm sorry for hurting you, okay? I knew that you did but you did not have to go as far as farting at my face,right? You could just have shook me to wake me up.” Dylan apologized to his adorable little sister and lectured her about what she should have done instead of farting at him. Although he was angry, the loving memories of his past self overwhelmed him as he himself showed such a loving expression to a person's sibling.

”Ay deed. But- but,big brow did nat wayk up. I- I ownli did becows id's awready nine in da morning.” Little Scarlet defended herself while she tried her best to say 'I did. But, big bro did not wake up. I only did that because it was already nine in the morning.'. Then it hit him. The cause of the shaking was from Scarlet's gesture of trying to wake him up.

The reason why Scarlet reasoned that 'it was already nine in the morning' because 'Dylan' would usually wake up at dawn to open the shop and wake her up after he was done preparing breakfast. After which, they will eat together and Scarlet wouldwash the dishes. She was worried because something might have happened to her elder brother and besides, she was already so hungry so she did the sure way to wake her brother up but hesitated at first.

She knew that her brother would sometimes experience pain at night because her brother would let out miserable moan that would wake her up. This made her worry even more that was why she strengthened her resolve and farted at her brother's face to wake him up. Although the thought of it, made her want to laugh so badly because that was her nature. But, her concern for her brother overwhelmed that urge to laugh it out because she truly did want anything to happen to her brother for he is the only one who truly cared and loved her. Thus, she was afraid, no, terrified that if something bad were to happen to happen to her brother, then no one would care for her after.

Seeing the concerned expression of his little sister for him, he softened up while he thought ” That stare is got to be a cheat. There's no way a person could be this cute.”. He felt that his resistance was futile as he looked in Scarlet's watery scarlet eyes. Those eyes were like the eyes of a pleading cute dog to his owner to caress it's tummy. He then gave in to those eyes and that cute face, and offered to Scarlet, ” Okay. Let me make it up to you. I will cook you something good for today. What do you want?”

”What I want? Anything I want?” Scarlet pondered and smiled.

”What... You...” Dylan found it difficult to get angry because those cheating eyes are pleading in that cute manner again.

”Big Brother Dylan wants to make it up to me right? So Big Brother Dylan will cook me anything I want,, right?” The mischievous girl maintained her pleading look and paired it with a pleading cute voice. It was like an irresistible force coercing him to obey what this girl said.

”Ugh, okay, fine. You win. Anything you want.” How could Dylan resist such an irresistible doll like sister of his?

”Yeeey!” Scarlet celebrated

”Now what do my cute little sister want?” Dylan helplessly shook his head.

This was simply injustice. How could fight the charm of this adorable child? He felt as though he was being taken advantage of. Well, he exactly was being taken advantage of by his troublemaking sister.

The mischievous light immediately resurfaced as soon as Dylan agreed to her request.

” I want a seasoned chicken, pork ribs, cattle's milk...” the little girlspoke the list of what she wanted to eat in an exciting manner. She just can't help but be blissful thinking how she would eat all her favorite delicacies. She continued to order seven more and then finally stopped.

”Wha-what?” Dylan was stunned because his little sister knew exactly what type of food her elder brother had in storage in his storage room. He nearly spat off a mouthful of blood from regret. But then again, he could only do what was asked from him since he already had given his word so naturally he must comply.

Dylan went to the storage and fetched the ingredients for the food Scarlet wanted to eat. Then, he went to the kitchen. Preparing the cooking tools he needed, he also cleaned his ingredients. He knew how to cook well in both lives so the cooking experience of both merged together and made his culinary skills to improve greatly.

During cooking Dylan searched the memories the past him had on Scarlet. He found the child at the remains of a destroyed mountain range. While Dylan tried to search for an Alchemist that could refine a pill that would greatly benefit him to the extent of a full recovery four years ago. He saw a small two year old baby girl but there were no signs of someone in the vicinity. Feeling pity for the baby girl, he adopted her and called her Scarlet because of her beautiful scarlet face.

After two hours of cooking, he prepared the feast and invited Scarlet. Seeing such a feast, Scarlet's eyes could not help but water and her eyes emitted her hunger.

”Eat up, Scarlet” as he turned around and leave because he would open up the store even though it's already near noon.

”Brother, wait!” Scarlet stopped Dylan.

”What is it?”

”I don't want to be alone. I want you to eat with me. Please.”

”But I am just going to open the store. Although it's late, I can still open.”

”Can't it wait after you eat, Big bro?” Scarlet did her pleading cute look again.

”Uh... Okay”. Unable to retort, he could only give in.
