Chapter 238

The Stanval Siblings 2

As soon as we arrived at the mine’s entrance, we went inside .

“Oniisama, are these the mines?”

“Yeah, that’s right . ”

“It’s pretty dark, isn’t it?”

“Are you scared?”

“… A little bit . ”

Rein apparently came here several times before, but it was Lily-chan’s first time and she seemed a bit scared .

“Light . ”

I illuminated the surroundings with magic right away .

“Oh my! It’s very bright now! There’s nothing I can complain about now . Thank you so much, Takumi-sama!”

Lily-chan was so grateful I couldn’t take it .

I mean, I didn’t do it especially for her as I do it every time~

Well, I won’t tell her that, though .

“Having Takumi with you is so convenient~”

“My, Oniisama! Saying it like that is rude to Takumi-sama!”

I got dragged into the conversation by Rein, but Lily-chan complained more than me and began rebuking her older brother, so I was more stunned than displeased .

“S, sorry, Lily . ”

“Geez, there’s no point apologizing to me!”

Lily-chan seemed angrier than I thought, her attitude was very threatening .

“S, sorry, Takumi . ”

“Well, taking Lily-chan into consideration, I will feign ignorance this time . However, I will stop being friends with you the next time . ”

“Ehh!?”

I tried joking a little with him in retaliation, but Rein’s expression got more shocked than I thought it would .

“Naturally . Takumi-sama, even if you cut ties with Oniisama, please stay being friends with me . Now, let’s leave Oniisama alone and go ahead . Allen-sama, Elena-sama too, come this way please . ”

“”Okay~””

Moreover, Lily-chan gave him a finishing blow and started walking away while pulling on my hand .

“Takumi-sama, when you want to stop interacting with my elder brother, you can do so without worrying . ”

“I didn’t mind it that much, so you don’t have to worry . ”

“If you say so, Takumi-sama…”

“Thank you, Lily-chan . ”

I heard Rein shouting “Wait for me~” from behind, but Lily-chan pretended to not hear and kept proceeding .

“By the way, Takumi-sama . ”

“What is it?”

“Could you maybe speak more casually with me? This is how I normally talk, but that’s not the case for you, no?”

“Ah~… correct . ”

“Oh, you did it again . ”

For some reason or another, I spoke in a polite tone, but Lily-chan wanted me to stop doing that .

Well, it’s easier for me to talk normally, so I would be more than happy to do so .

“Right . But… is that fine with you?”

“Yes, I don’t mind . It feels like we are much closer that way, which makes me happy! Of course, please drop the politeness with Oniisama too . Rather, I don’t mind if you treat him rudely . ”

When I changed my tone, Lily-chan smiled happily .

However, she remained cold to Rein .

“Then, I have a request too . It would be nice if possible, but could you stop addressing me with -sama?”

“Allen is Allen!”

“Elena is Elena!”

Following me, Allen and Elena also demanded to change the way she addressed them .

“Then… Allen-chan, Elena-chan . ”

“”Yeah!””

“Erm, umm, would you allow me to call you… Takumi Oniisama?”

Lily-chan called the children and I bashfully .
