Volume 1 Chapter 17 My Cool Little Sister Suddenly Became Sweet
One day.
While I was taking care of the wyverns at the dragon barn, Mintha rushed in looking worried.
"Sir Zeke, it's bad! A [witch] appeared in the border town and demands to see you!"
I didn't understand well, but I hopped on a wyvern with Mintha and headed to the border town, Satsuk.
"How are the appearances of the witch?"
"The messenger said she has beautiful blue-silver hair and uses very strong ice magic."
"Ah... maybe it's Cino."
"Cino?"
"She is my little sister. But I wonder what she wants...?"
The wyvern flew very quickly towards the border.
"What kind of person is Lady Cino?"
"Well, she's really cool and always sharp with me."
"So you two don't get along well?"
"Yeah. She used to be a sweet little girl who was always close to me, but then she became so cold."
While talking with Mintha like this, I rushed to the town of Satsuk...
"T-The forest is frozen too!?"
The Great Forest, which stretches out at the entrance to the beastman country, was frozen over as far as the eye could see.
A small girl stands at the border, frowning in a sulky mood.
A cold wind was emanating from her.
"Cino! What are you doing?"
"Brother!"
I get off the wyvern and head to my sister.
"Brother! Brother!"
Cino came running up to me and hugged me around the waist.
What?!
"I'm glad you're safe...!"
My sister is crying.
What does that mean?
She was always so calm and collected, but now her face was all crumpled and she was crying like a baby.
"I heard that my brother was deported... and kidnapped to the beastman's country, so I just couldn't sit still."
I seem to have made her worried.
"I wasn't kidnapped, I was scouted. I'm a beast veterinarian here."
"...Really?"
"Yeah!"
"...Did you leave home because I was too cold to you?"
"What? I would never do that. You're my only little sister!"
"It's okay," I said as I patted Cino's head.
She had tears in her eyes and snuggled against me.
"...I'm sorry, big brother. I was cold to hide my shyness. I really love you!"
"I-I see..."
There was also a time she used ice magic when she was shy...
"When I thought you were kidnapped and might die, I realized I had to be honest with my feelings, or we would be misunderstood forever and never see each other again."
Cino said with teary eyes.
"Big brother... I'm sorry for saying terrible things. I love you deeply, both now and in the past."
So it was hiding her shyness, huh?
She can be cute too.
"I've always liked you too!"
"R-Really? Yes! We're in love with each other!"
Cino smiled really big, and I was surprised.
Was she always this cheerful...?
"Anyway, I'm really glad you're safe. Let's go home!"
"Oh, no, I'm working here right now"
"I see. Then I'll work here for you from today."
...yes?
