Chapter 419: Elder Sister (2/2)

”Yip! Yip!”

Leonel wasn't certain if the little mink understood what he was saying or not, but it excitedly hopped up and down. It seemed to at least understand that a birthday was a nice thing.

Now that Leonel thought about it, his last two birthdays had been quite depressing. One was spent within the Mayan Tomb and the next was spent training in Brave City.

Usually, during that time of year his father would give him a gift. Funny enough, usually that gift ended up being more of a present for his dad than himself. Most of the time it was some vintage DVD with some anime from hundreds of years ago.

Thinking of this, Leonel couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

”What do you want to do for your birthday?”

Aina seemed stunned by the question. Celebrate a birthday? Now? Was he crazy?

In the end, without an answer to give, she ended up glaring at Leonel. Why was he always so immature?

Even seeing this, Leonel's smile didn't fade.

”Fine, since you don't have an answer, I'll surprise you.”

”You…”

Looking at Leonel's grin, it seemed like he had no intention of listening to her words. In fact, her glare, which was usually quite effective, seemed to have hit a brick wall this time.

”Huh…?”

Leonel wanted to tease Aina some more, but his gaze locked onto a bird in the sky. The beast quickly descended, approaching the pair with a blazing speed.

Leonel almost attacked it initially, but after a while, he became fairly certain that it had no ill intentions.

'This message method… Camelot?'

Leonel couldn't be 100% certain, but this mode of communication shouldn't exist on Earth. But, regardless of where the message itself came from, Leonel had no idea who would be contacting him at all.

The bird descended, landing in Leonel's palm.

”Hello handsome little boy. I placed a small tracking spell on your necklace treasure, I hope you don't mind. I know you have a kind heart, so I thought I would reach out to you now. My Demon Empire needs some help, we're currently being attacked by those we assume are your people. I hope you can help us communicate with them. In return, Big Sis has plenty of rewards for you~.”

Leonel coughed violently hearing this message, his head slowly turning in Aina's direction. But, all he found were blinking, curious eyes and a light smile.

Leonel easily recognized that this message was from Mordred, but he couldn't help but lament her timing. Why now? Couldn't she had picked a better moment?

Smiling an ugly smile, Leonel squeezed out a dry laugh.

”I didn't know you had an elder sister.” Aina said, her smile never fading.

Leonel had no idea why, but these words felt like a fatal blow. Legends say one could hear the whimpers of a young man that day beneath the heavily falling snow.
