C135
At that time, he was too scared to intervene, but his heart was the same as Shirone's.
But when Shirone reached out to Amy, and when Amy answered the call, Jis awoke from his dream.
He could never be Shirone.
“Tsk, he pretends to be very cool even though he is a commoner.”
He would not have been jealous if he were just an ordinary person who had learned a little magic. When dealing with arrogant nobles, he sometimes thought that he was lucky to have been born as a commoner.
But Shirone was also a commoner. And he had the courage to give up something precious for a friend.
Jis remembered the sad smile Amy had on the carriage. Did Shirone know the meaning of that smile? No, he would never know. It was a hidden feeling revealed in front of him, who had no relationship with her.
Thinking of this, he felt a bitter feeling in his heart again.
"Damn! Why does he have to be a commoner? I can't make any excuse! What kind of guy is that!"
Jis, who vented his frustrations in front of his house, opened the door and entered. Seeing that a candle was lit in the depths of the house, it seemed that his sister had been waiting all this time.
"Brother, why are you so late? I thought something had happened and was worried."
"Yuna, why didn't you sleep? How are you going to work tomorrow?"
"Then should I sleep without brother coming home? What happened?"
"No. Nothing happened. I just got busy and time went by."
Jis knelt down in front of Yuna. Not because she was his sister, but because she was a person who wouldn't be ignored anywhere. Even without formal education, she was wise and kind-hearted.
Yuna was Jis’s pride. That's why she shouldn't live a miserable life like him. He didn't expect her to be successful, but she was a girl who could meet a good man and live a happy life.
"Why is your face so gloomy? Be honest. Even if you can fool everyone else, you can't fool me. Or. will you prefer I don’t make you breakfast tomorrow?”
"Hahaha! Oh dear, you're scary. I just had a few things that hurt my pride. But I'm fine now.”
“Phew, does that pride get hurt all the time? It can't even be eaten because it's rotten. Anyway, wash first. The smell of sweat from brother is no joke.”
Jis' eyes became warm. Seeing her put his mind at ease. So what if he’s not as great as others? If only Yuna was there, he would not be envious of anything in the world.
Jis hugged Yuna. The scent of a family member, with whom he shared the same smell, blew away the fatigue of a day spent trembling in fear.
"Ugh, the smell! What are you doing all of a sudden? Go wash up first!"
“Wait a minute, Yuna. Your brother will definitely become the ruler of the port.”
"Tsk! Are you still saying that? What ruler of the port? Even if you become one, no one will recognize it."
"Haha! That's true."
Yuna giggled and hugged Jis. The truth is she didn't hate the smell of sweat. Because every drop of sweat was not shed without purpose for her.
“I really hope that such a day will come. My brother will definitely be able to do it.”
"Yes......"
Jis looked at the moonlight pouring through the window. It was a perfect weather for night sightseeing.
Ancient Ruins (1)
Shirone and the others have been busy since dawn. The boy cleaned the house while the girl washed, and when the boy entered the bathhouse, the girl sat in front of mirrors to dry their hair and dressed up.
After finishing the bath, Shirone and Rian looked into the girl’s room and thought time had stopped. Amy and Tess were still in front of the mirror doing something.
The boys ended up having breakfast first. It was dawn by the time they a simple meal with the food they bought in the city last night.
Only then did the girls start choosing clothes, and every time they come and out of the door, their clothes changed drastically.
Rian thought Tess and Amy were testing him.
He passed it off as a girl thing to change into different clothes if they didn't like the outfit.
But what's with changing into something else because they didn't like it and then changing back into it again after a while? Are they really going to test the boys? Isn't this an obvious challenge to test the viewer's memory?
"Oh, just put on anything. Are we going to kill a dragon? Why care so much about a piece of cloth that doesn't even have defense power?"
Tess looked at Rian with shocked eyes.
"Oh, what a piece of shit! We dress up more because you guys don't pay attention to how you dress. Keep your mouth shut because everyone is saying good things to you.”
Amy came out wearing a light blue dress.
“Shirone, isn’t this strange?”
“No, it is pretty! Amy looks good no matter what she wears.”
"Really? Hmm."
