Volume 4 Chapter 38 Little Sister Awaits Her Brother's Return
While my brother was down in the depths, battling monsters...
We returned to the surface ahead of him.
"Are you sure Mr. Zeke'll be alright...?"
We were at the entrance of the cave.
Ms. Ena, the dwarf, looked worried.
...I understood how she felt.
The enemy we faced was incredibly strong.
Even with my brother there, I was frozen with fear.
But my brother, he's alright.
That man is the strongest Demon Lord.
He can't lose.
...Even so, I'm...
"Of course he'll be fine."
Chippy, the reptile, patted Ms. Ena on the head.
"Zeke is the invincible, ultimate Demon Lord. He'll crush any enemy."
"B-but...he's up against such a scary enemy..."
"Don't be silly. There's no way Zeke will lose. Right, Cino?"
Chippy looked at me.
Her eyes were slightly, subtly, clouded with anxiety.
But she spoke as though it was nothing.
It was probably to avoid worrying Ms. Ena and the other dwarves.
Unlike me, this girl is kind, considerate of those around her, I realized.
"Yes, that's right. Brother will definitely win and come back."
Chippy gave a grin... a genuine one.
She was probably trying to encourage me, too.
...Maybe she's not such a bad kid after all.
"Ah! He's coming! Zeke is!"
Whoosh...!
With teleportation magic, my brother moved in an instant.
"Yo."
"Brother!" "Zeke!"
Without thinking, I jumped into my brother's arms.
Chippy was also genuinely happy about his return.
...Thank goodness.
He's safe, really...
"Father!" "Ena!"
Behind my brother were the dwarves.
It seemed Ms. Ena's father was among them.
"Father! Father! Waaaaah!"
"Ena... I'm sorry for making you worry."
The two of them embrace, tears flowing.
The dwarves behind them are overjoyed at the reunion.
"Thank you, Sir Zeke!"
The dwarves bow deeply before my brother.
Their eyes reflect a deep respect for him.
"Our Savior!" "Thank you, Sir Zeke!"
I'm happy to see my brother is so well-regarded by everyone.
Chippy was smiling too.
"What?"
"No...you're happy too, aren't you?"
"Of course. When Zeke gets praised, I'm happy too, obviously."
I couldn't help but think how much this person and I are alike.
