47 All Shall Be Forgiven... (1/2)
*Sob* *Sob*
The lesson of the day: Don't anger Charlotte.
That is what I have learnt after being beaten up by Charlotte completely. Her fists are hard, sure, but the scariest thing is that both Mio and my girlfriend won't even try to stop her even if she had beaten me to a near-death state. WHY DO I HAVE TO UNDERGO THIS TORTUROUS TREATMENT?!?!
After recovering a bit, I was forced (By Charlotte) to cook dinner. Since I want to calm Charlotte down, I decided to cook a western meal to suit her tastes. The meal that I decided to cook is...
”Wha~ It's Cordon Bleu! You're the best, Nii-sama!”
”Mm! It's a great decision to take you as my Onii-chan after all!”
It seems like Charlotte isn't the only one who is delighted by this meal. I smiled to myself and took note of the meal into the list of what Mio likes to eat. Today, Mio as wearing her yukata. Ever since we took her back from the Black Tiger Gang, she had a tendency of wearing a yukata at home more often. Ma~ At least she likes it. I thought of that as I began to sit down and eat. However, Mio suddenly froze and turned to face me.
”Nii-sama... What is this matter about Charlotte taking you as her 'Onii-chan'?”, she looked at me with cold eyes.
”W-Wait, Mio! I can explain!!!”, I desperately tried to beg for mercy.
”You got five minutes, spit it all out.”, She said that as she took out her Katana, which she stole from the Black Tiger Gang.
The more I told her about the matter, the more frightening she looks. Once I've finished the story, she turned towards Charlotte and asked her,
”Charlotte... Are you trying to take my Nii-sama away?”, Mio took a stance, ready to brandish her Katana at any time.
However, Charlotte seemed unfazed. She even kept drinking her tea comfortably.
”Mio... I have no intention of taking Yuuji Onii-chan away from you. Nor do I have the intention to take him as a love interest. All I want is to become the same family with him. Therefore, even if you took him as your husband, I won't interfere with your relationship at all.”, she said that calmly.
”Very well...”, Mio took her hand off the sword.
Feeling relieved, I sat back in my chair and continued to eat dinner. However,
”I shall only chop one of your fingers off as a punishment, Nii-sama.”, she turned towards me with a kitchen knife in her hand.
”Oi!!! Why is it that I must receive the punishment?!?!”
I mean, it's Charlotte that proposed the idea in the first place right, so why must I be the one to get punished?!?!
I couldn't say that out loud, of course, as it would only anger Charlotte, which will eventually result in my demise.
”Nii-sama, it seems that your loyalty towards me has weakened quite a bit, Nii-sama...”
”The heck?!?! I'm supposed to be the brother here, you know?!?!”
”Ever since the matter about Hanako-san, you've not reported to me about the decision you made, did you?”, she ignored me and continued on with her sentence.
”W-Wait, Mio!!!”, I scrambled away as she got closer to me.
The glistening cold in her eyes made her seem more frightening than before. This time, I knew it that she is not just joking like the previous times. She really does intend to chop my finger off.
”Come here, Nii-sama. Come to atone for your sins. All will be forgiven when blood is spilt. Come~”, she said that as she smiled in what seems like ecstasy.
