Chapter 184 - Pistol part 1 (1/2)
[Rean point of view]
The mood is heavy, with neither of them saying a word. Only the sound of Charlotte's hiccup can be heard, most likely due to her crying rather excessively. Brother Ash didn't even have his dinner, and usually, he would go out at night with Elise, but not today. He seems to be in a bad mood.
Come morning, as usual, I can hear Brother Ash downstairs, making breakfast as well as having some sort of discussion with both Grandpa Claude and Sis Rafiah. Guess, everything turn out fine for today.
”Come! Let us say sorry to him!” [Zerolith]
”Yes!” [Boys]
They sure feel guilty right now. I couldn't imagine what will happen if Princess Diana decided to scold them after Brother Ash went to his room yesterday. I don't know what or how she will scold them but I do heard her soft voice, talking to herself
(Is this how an elder sister feels like? When their little siblings in trouble?) [Diana]
Well, the red hair saintess quickly cheer her up, and of course, all of us will be surprise by her presence. Even the princess herself found it unbelievable. Saintess Rumia wanted to meet Brother Ash yesterday, but seeing as what just happened, she decided not to, only giggling, as if she knew what is in Brother Ash mind.
”Morning, Brother Ash” [Zerolith]
”...” [Ash]
”Brother?” [Singa]
”...” [Ash]
The last among the boys to arrive downstairs, I can see that Brother Ash keeps on ignoring them, which make them even more desperate. Savel tackle Brother Ash left foot multiple times, only to be ignored
”Umm... morning?” [Rean]
”Ooh, good morning Rean, can you please take this white rice?” [Ash]
”!” [Boys]
”Umm... sure?” [Rean]
I think I get what Brother Ash trying to do, no wonder the saintess only giggle yesterday. Maybe she knew this would happen, but how? They never met before
”Morning!” [Charlotte]
”...” [Ash]
”Haa! Morning” [Farhah]
”...” [Ash]
Even Farhah usual energetic morning was ignored, and as expected
”Umm... do you want me to help with anything?” [Elise]
”Yeah, please take this juice. Claude, Rafiah and I can take care of the rest” [Ash]
”!” [Girls]
”Ri.. Right” [Elise]
I don't know which one of them is childish now. Elise, knowing what's Brother Ash is planning, look at me to confirm it. A slight nod is all she need as an answer.
(She looks like she wanted to play along...) [Rean]
I wanted to say no, don't do that, but
(If this help prevents them from misbehaving, then why not) [Rean]
Maybe not... I don't think I have what it needs to ignore them for an entire day.
During breakfast
”Ooh... I hate this spinach!” [Singa]
As usual, Singa complaint of not eating his portion of vegetables. The usual response is ”Eat it! Don't you want to be strong like me!” from Brother Ash, but this time
”...” [Ash]
Brother Ash keeps on eating his food without any concerns.
Then come Charlotte's turn. Usually, he will bring a piece of bread and ask Brother Ash to spread some honey or butter in it before asking him to feed her, and
”Please...” [Charlotte]
”...” [Ash]
I could have sworn Brother Ash almost reflexively trying to grab a butter knife. It's only a slight movement, so I don't think they would appreciate it, but nevertheless, it seems like this whole thing is even harder for Brother Ash.
”Please please please please” [Charlotte]
”...” [Ash]
”Charlotte, let me help you” [Rafiah]
”Don't want!” [Charlotte]
”Fine, I will ask Sis Elise!” [Charlotte]
She quickly went to Elise, but
”...” [Elise]
”Ehh!” [Charlotte]
It's just not your day today...
”Hey Ash, don't just ignore them!” [Calypso]
”...” [Ash]
”Hoo! So you're doing it to me as well, then take this...” [Calypso]
Brother Ash simply use gust toward Calypso, and there she goes, flying around haphazardly before landing gracefully in the floor, once again, due to the gust magic.
”I'll get you next time!” [Calypso]
”Meow!” [Behe]
”No, stop it Behe!” [Calypso]
Well, maybe you should defeat that arc nemesis of your first and foremost
After breakfast, Brother Ash will usually wait for all of us to finish our breakfast before heading out, but
”That was delicious. Claude, I'll wash this first” [Ash]
”Got it” [Claude]
He quickly stand and went to the kitchen, wash his plates and cups before once again, going back to his room
”This is... frustrating...” [Zerolith]
”But, it is our own fault...” [Kara]
””Right...”” [Lara, Nara]
