The day began surprisingly normal despite what had happened yesterday. It seed that the kingdom did not want to show weakness before the demons, and, in a curious way, everyone, including the high-ranking nobles whose children studied here, agreed.
Well, except for those whose children died, but in the end, from stories we were all considered independent adults, who chose the path of the strong and should be prepared for things like this.
Although I must admit that I didn’t know any of them and I don’t take much notice, which maybe sounds cold, but I have never cared about the death of people who are not related to .
It’s sothing that has always been part of my nature, and in this world that hasn’t changed.
Here, indifference to death is commonplace, as this world is extrely dangerous.
If you get careless, you could be the next victim, and no one has ti to worry about strangers. I share that ntality completely.
..
.
Nothing unusual happened today. Even the instructors didn’t question us about recent events, unless you wanted to testify about achievents and recognitions, which suited just fine because I didn’t have to give excuses to anyone.
However, there was one thing that bothered , and that was the look on Eira’s face. It wasn’t unusual for her to look at like that, but after yesterday, I’m sure she interrogated Selene.
I wanted to know what she had told her, but I realized I didn’t even know where her rooms were, so I couldn’t sneak in and eavesdrop, not to ntion it was a bad ti to do suspicious things.
I just had to hope that Selene didn’t reveal any compromising secrets, at this point, and because of her personality q, I usually tell them a lot of things, I an she’s such a good listener that habeses I say things without aning to, it’s ok if it’s her but her sister is another matter.
Although one thing I’ve learned about her is that she guards secrets like a tomb, unless she’s being tricked, so I made sure to stress to her that everything about us had to be kept secret.
However, over lunch, I realized I had overlooked sothing.
"Like I said, break up with my sister and then go die in a corner, like the disgusting pervert you are."
’Great. I guess I got used to sothing I should never have gotten used to’
Eira’s insults. They seed so normal to now that I just didn’t react anymore, I didn’t feel like giving back.
’hahhh...well anything for Selene’, I thought, while keeping my cool. I had already promised Selene many tis that I would try to get along with her sister, so I usually ignore her insults and retreat in case of an impending fight.
Although yesterday, in the battle, I had let hot blood get the better of a bit, I was calm now.
"I don’t know what you an," I replied, trying to maintain a neutral expression. I knew Eira might be using this as a ploy to provoke .
"Don’t pretend insanity, you bastard. Yesterday she told you were her boyfriend...ugh...s"
’Did you just spit blood?’ I thought, as I watched a bit of blood co out of his mouth as he tried to say that.
Maybe I was overreacting, though. I’m not that bad, am I? His grudge was just a misunderstanding caused by miscommunication (or maybe it wasn’t).
In any case, I realized that I never explicitly asked Selene to keep our relationship a secret, I just asked her not to say anything about what we were doing or my abilities, since I was helping her get stronger, as well as the rest of my teammates.
Of course, we accidentally exchanged abilities; she got Doppelgänger and I got Resonance, so I had to explain to her a bit how to use them. I had exchanged information on how to use them so I knew how to use it.
now had to figure out how to proceed, and deal with this obnoxious, cliché demon with double pink pigtails and possible tsundere of William’s.
At that mont my "angel with beautiful pink pigtails", Selene, appeared, very different from the figure of Eira, who looked like a demon with anger issues and a drunken sailor’s mouth.
"Sister, stop it... I didn’t say you two should get along..."
"Of course. I just want to get to know my brother-in-law better," Eira replied sarcastically, as she spat more blood in disgust,
’hey that’s not convincing at all, does it really hurt you to say you’re related to , stop doing that you’re just worrying my little angel.’
I knew I had no choice but to deal with the situation, so I stepped in and went straight to the main point.
"Well, it looks like you already know. Now that you know, it’s ti to settle our differences."
"what do you an bastard....digo brother-in-law..ugh"
I decided to use this to end the tension. Honestly, I had had enough of Eira. If it wasn’t for Selene, I would have long ago reached the limit of my patience.
I was even thinking of using my spear and getting her abilities, of course with a different appearance, through William, That he is the only one I know who can stand her, so maybe her hatred will transfer to him, and he will stop harassing .
but now I thought it was a good situation, since it seed that Eira for so reason is not using force to separate us and even called brother-in-law, thanks to Selene’s words, although she obviously doesn’t want to, I don’t know what’s going on, but it ans that a reconciliation is finally possible.
I couldn’t miss this unique opportunity, I was already tired and afraid of going bald because of her piercing gaze, all day long.
"Haaaa... well, Eira, I’m sorry." I apologized sincerely, in a way I started this so I had to put an end to it, and if letting myself be defeated wasn’t the solution, this should be the answer. "What happened in that alley was my fault. I hope you can forgive ." I held out my hand and already declared my total surrender.
"...."
Eira looked at silently as Selene watched her with concern, about her sister’s reaction.
"Damn it, do you think I want a fucking apology? Why is this happening... It’s my fault, isn’t it, it’s my fault! That my sister ended up like this, now I have to buaahha, with a fucker like you buaaaaaa...snif"
When he started to speak I thought it hadn’t worked, but little by little his voice started to crack and at the end he started to cry.
I stood frozen, hand outstretched, not knowing what to do as Selene hugged her and comforted her.
..
.
After a while, Eira finally stopped crying and, wiping her tears, looked at with a mixture of hatred and resignation.
"Haaa... it’s okay. I don’t ddle in your business, it’s ti to accept that Selene is a grown woman and she already made her choice, I shouldn’t get between you, I should be a good big sister, urrghh.... you know what! no matter what mama said!!, fuck everything!!!. I don’t accept this shit,!! , you tricked my sister with your trickery, I’ll kill you and then I’ll kill myself, you fucking pervert, Grrrrrr r "
After that she pounced on and tried to strangle , catching off guard, I thought I had finally co to terms with the situation, but I underestimated this bitch, and now I realize that she has a serious siscon problem, which makes think that my relationship with Selene will not be so smooth.
..
.
"Well, for now, it’s a probation period. Nothing will happen until I pass it, understood?".
"Yes, ma’am."
Finally, after reacting and controlling the situation, I managed to get her off my back easily.
’It wasn’t her best idea to physically attack without resonating with her sister.’
After so back and forth and a lot of negotiating, she finally cald down and we ca to an agreent: she would allow to date her sister, under the condition that it would not go beyond our current relationship.
Although I internally disagreed, I realized that Selene would also not allow anything important to happen without her sister’s or her mother’s approval. So, in the end, nothing changed from how we started, which didn’t affect much.
On the other hand, I briefly explained to her what had happened between Selene and , so that Eira would understand a little better how we got to this point and stop saying that I cheated on her or sothing...well yes I did.
But I couldn’t lie to my little angel for long, so I confessed my sins and she accepted anyway, I even ntioned a little bit about Elena and the rest, to finish my confession, and she still agreed.
Which made my wrinkled family jewels I had out at the ti relax when he gave a positive response.
Back to Eira I ntioned to her that Selene summoned , we negotiated, and started spending ti together, though I left out certain details, of course, this one.
I told her that, in addition to spending ti together, I was teaching her runes, as well as my other friends.
To be honest, Selene turned out to be surprisingly good at runes, even better than William and Lys, which surprised quite a bit. Since she’s usually half asleep or even asleep during my lessons
’Maybe she’s a misunderstood genius, or sothing like that who knows.’
Eira, however, was still not entirely convinced. Although I knew I couldn’t interfere beyond this point, in the end she insisted that she would also join our rune classes.
I wanted to refuse, but I had no choice. At least the positive point is that I wouldn’t have to deal with her as much anymore.
She accepted my apology for the above events, albeit a bit reluctantly.
Luckily, she was so busy as an assistant that she couldn’t interfere with our sessions, which I obviously skipped when I explained my history with Selene just now. So my ti with Selene was still more or less intact.
As for my assistant work, Astrid did most of it. Although I offered to help her, she insisted that it was a way to release energy, which, she said, she seed to accumulate in our sessions.
I replied that, if she had that much energy, we could do more rounds, but she wittily replied that overtaxing her would only make her pass out. I couldn’t argue with that logic.
In the end, it took so work off my hands and gave more ti with Selene, so I didn’t complain. Although Astrid has gained more stamina lately due to her increased stats, it wasn’t enough to go beyond the third round without fainting...
