In A Parallel World With Random Skills, I Reluctantly Become A Mafia Boss?

Chapter 17: Insight

If you told me she was a foreigner's daughter, i would believe it. Sadly, this wasn't Earth. So I can conclude that she must have been the daughter of the one who found me.

I finally remembered that I had collapsed last night due to exerting too much effort, or maybe it was because I ran out of mana. After all, no matter how absurd my mana pool was, I didn't know how to use it that well.

"Huh, You're awake onii-san?"

C...cute..

When she tilted her head sideways, showing an innocent expression while asking me a question, I thought I might die of cuteness. Dangerous, dangerous..

Oh, I have to reply soon, don't I?

"...Ah, yes, I'm okay now. Thank you for saving me."

I hoped that I said it well, I doubt she carried me all the way here, but I think she was still the one who opened the windows and brought the bucket of water. So it was right to extend my gratitude to this little girl whom I don't know the name of.

"Really? You're welcome. You see, onii-san was sleeping in the forest, when mommy and me found you when we went to pick some herbs. I thought you were tired so I told mommy to let onii-san sleep in our house."

I stand corrected.

To think this little girl was capable of being so thoughtful to a random stranger. I misjudged you little girl, I hope you forgive me for thinking otherwise.

Okay, calling her 'little girl' all the time won't do..

"Is that so? Well I'm really grateful to you and your mommy. I was too tired so I slept by accident. My name is Kyouya. What's yours?"

"Un, so it's Kyouya-nii then! My name is Elle!"

Umu, it's official.

This girl, no, Elle-chan was too trusting of strangers. No, its not like I have a problem with that, since its because of that naivety that I slept on a bed last night.

But still, if she had this attitude back in Japan, someone would definitely take advantage of this little girl, most definitely. I can almost see it, the little Elle-chan being lured by a strangely kind old man into a van-

Wait, this is not the time for strange delusions! Now that I think about it, am I indirectly calling myself strange for thinking these things about my benefactor?

This is bad, my head is starting to hurt...

".....U,um...Kyouya-nii?"

".....Ah."

While I seemed to have my head going in weird places, Elle-chan suddenly called out to the daydreaming me. I am embarrassed, really I am, is there a hole somewhere?

"....What, what is it Elle-chan?"

With a monotone voice that was hiding my inner turmoil, I decide to move the topic away from my earlier thoughts by asking her what was the matter. Yes, let's just forget about all those altogether. Such a brilliant idea, if I do say so myself.

"Yes, I just wanted to tell you that mommy was just preparing breakfast, so would you like to come eat with us? You know, you must be hungry right Kyouya-nii?"

Your kindness is too blinding Elle-chan! I can't even look her in the eyes anymore after all that happened. If Elise-san was an angel, Elle-chan should be a saint.

Well, that's enough of my thoughts going wild. More importantly, as soon as I heard the topic of food, my stomach instantly reacted.

*Guuuuuuuuuuu*
