Chapter 50: The Mercenaries' Ball

In the silence, she gazes at the hand extended to her by her sister.

　Do I take this hand or not?

　This is no time to be thinking about such a choice.

The venue is quiet even though it is the Fairy Ball, and even Yuuki, Kouya and Mina, who came along with me, are all in a tizzy because of my sister's appearance.

　In addition, the fairies on my shoulders and head are all hiding behind my back.

　This is not good.

　The fairies are getting more and more scared of humans.

　I'm the only one who can do something about it.

......

　Ugh.

　I tried to admonish my sister, but due to nervousness, my tongue did not roll well and my words stuttered.

'Mi?'

　To me, my sister gently asked back.

　Her expression has changed from a few moments ago, and she is cheerful.

　I want to ask her where she has gone from the eerie Noh face she had a few moments ago. Anyway, encouraged by my sister's usual attitude, I ruminate in my heart what I want to say on this occasion.

　Okay, it's okay.

　All I have to do is tell her.

　I took a deep breath, looked at my sister and told her how I honestly felt.

'......, everyone get along!'

　At my loud voice, my sister's expression becomes a scowling one.

　The people around me were caught up, too.　A gasp and a groan.

'Sis ......, there's no need to be so intimidating to everyone.'

　In response to my belated tsk tsk, Kouya Kouya and Yuuki Yuuki glanced back at me and my sister alternately with just their eyes.

　The mercenaries around us were also looking at each other, saying things like, 'Eh ......' and 'Sister? ', 'You mean sister?' And then they freeze.

'No, but, Taro. Some of the guys here might try to take advantage of you Taro.'

　The sister, who is completely through with such surroundings, gives a plausible reason.

'Maybe so, but Yu and Ko are friends.

I touch Yuuki and Kouya , who are rigidly in charge.

　From the shadows of these two, Boku wa boku wa boku wa?　The first time I saw him, I thought he was a puppy," said Glen, with a kind of abandoned puppy dog look in his eyes, "but I don't have time to worry about you right now. Sorry.

'My little Taro is even cuter now. I can tolerate a wanker and Mina-chan, but to see a boy who deserves to be high school age or older getting close to a character like Taro ...... trust those who stand by him like that?"

　My sister's argument is met with a small murmur of agreement in places, such as 'Yeah, yeah...', 'Sure', and 'They're pedophiles'.

　I sigh at that.

'Sis, Yu and Ko know my real life.'

　At these words, my sister finally seems to have got the idea.

　That Chloe and Ko are my schoolmates.

'But you know, ...... it's safer for me to escort Taro than a couple like that.'

　Yes, yes, I'm glad you feel that way, and I'd love for you to do so, and if you're the leader of a strong mercenary clan, I'd even rather ask you to do it from here.
