54 CHAPTER XIV -- EACH BIGGER (2/2)
You're lying!
I'm not lying, I haven't seen my uncle in a long time, and he said Cliff was coming too.
Didn't your brother want to join the Special Forces because he wanted to be like you?
And, Cliff, are you ...... Cliff?
Who's Cliff? Your brother's girlfriend?
So, ...... your brother is an adult, so he's married to someone else.
'Oh, that's a shame!'
Not even close! We're usually best friends.
What a shame. I mean, does my brother have a girlfriend? You're coming of age tomorrow, okay?
Oh, shut up! I don't want it now.
I guess I can't marry you if you say so: ......
No, I don't!
Well, my brother's a popular guy and he'll be fine. Anyway, is it true that Mr. Cliff is coming tomorrow?
Huh? What kind of person is Cliff?
Are you the kind of person who would be surprised just to come to a duke's party?
Oh, I heard he's coming.
'Oh yeah, ...... are you okay with that?'
Hey, hey, hey. What's this Cliff guy like?
I'm very curious about this!
What, you don't know? Cliff is the prince of this country, remember?
'Oh, you're Shelly's brother! Come to think of it, you said you were coming to the Imperial City.
So that was to attend your brother's party.
I'm certainly surprised that the Prince would attend: .......
'So, what's Mr Cliff like?'
'What's Cliff like? Yes, ......, in one word, you're a good guy.
Is he a good guy?
How is that expression to the Prince?
'Mr. Cliff is a kind man, even if he's a bit feeble at times.
Yeah, he's a pussycat, but he's a good guy.
Huh? What a surprise, really: .......
My image was of a ruthless man who wanted to be king at all costs .
A nice guy: .......
.
Hey, Cliff is coming home today.
I heard that he's coming to celebrate Leo's brother's birthday.
I barely talk to my brother, ever.
And I barely know my brother because I was never allowed to talk about him in front of my mom and dad ever since I was little.
So even though we haven't seen each other in a while, it's like meeting for the first time.
Huh, I'm kind of scared to see him. .......
When I returned home from school, I was told that my brother was already home, so I was shown to my brother's room.
When I was shown to the room where my brother was staying, there was already a blond, thin man who looked like my mom, dad, and brother Cliff.
And a blonde-haired, scary-eyed stranger is standing next to Brother Cliff.
Huh? Who is this guy?
The woman noticed that I had come into the room.
'What? Not Shelia. I'll leave you to it then.
With that, the stranger got up and walked out of the room past me .
Who was that woman?
I looked at mom and dad.
I looked at ...... but neither Mom nor Dad was going to answer me, because they were so tired.
”Welcome home, Shelly. It's good to see you.
'What? Uh-huh. Long time.
I was so surprised when my brother talked to me.
And that was my mom. Maybe you don't remember Shelly because you only saw her when she was a newborn.
Oh, Melissa: ......
Melissa, I think it was Melissa.
I don't hear this name at all in our house, so I only remember it vaguely.
Yeah, you're right. You remember?
”Well, uh, ......, just the name .......
Yeah, I see. But Sherry's a big girl now.
Oh, yeah?
Yeah. The last time I saw Shelly, she was three years old, so it's pretty big.
That's right: ......
Huh? He's not what I thought he was.
For a long time, I thought he was scary because Mom and Dad hid it from me, but he speaks softly, he looks weak, and he's not scary at all?
...... What do you mean?
