I Became the Youngest Summoner in the Strongest Guild

84. Youngest, You’ve Been Fooled Again

84. Youngest, You've Been Fooled Again

Long-ago memories are best left as memories.

Why? Because they become idealized.

As time passes, you think "That's how it was back then" and laugh it off.

But if the situation you call a memory were to happen right now, you'd either love it or hate it, with a 50-50 chance.

And I fall into the latter category.

"Isn't it great to go camping with your sister!?"

"Not really..."

"You're saying it's too great!? Me too!"

My sister casually ignores what I say and hears only what she wants to hear.

As a result, I was kidnapped to a place with beautiful mountains and waters in the early morning.

And there's one more person. No, one more snake who's enjoying this.

"Kyuung!"

"Yong-yong is happy too, right!? The air is so fresh! The water here is amazing!"

"Kyuuung!"

Yong-yong, who used to dislike everyone except me, gets along so well with my family.

Anyone who sees this would think he's my sister's summon.

Why don't you just switch owners...?

When I glare at Yong-yong, he glances at me and seems to have enough sense to approach me.

"Kyuung."

"W-what...? You want me to spray water on you...?"

He had no sense after all.

No, more importantly, where did you get this camper van!? And since when did you have a driver's license!?

I thought she didn't have a license since she always walked everywhere, but apparently she does.

And she even has a camper van.

"Where did you get the camper van from?"

"I borrowed it from a friend who uses it for camping!"

She's making a V-sign with her fingers and grinning broadly, but even if it's a friend, who lends out their car!? What if there's an accident?

I'll have to give that friend a piece of my mind next time I see them.

"Come on, your sister packed all sorts of yummy things for you. Want to check it out?"

"How much could you have possibly packed."

She points to the refrigerator inside the camper van, but just how much did she prepare to be acting like this?

I go inside and open the fridge door, and I can't help but gape in amazement.

W-what is all this...

The fridge is packed full.

Even the freezer is crammed.

Are we two supposed to eat all this...?

"I bought a lot, right!? Your sister's wallet worked hard!"

"It worked a bit too hard..."

She grabs my hand telling me to come out quickly, and when we exit the camper van, she's already set up chairs and a fire pit in the meantime.

"Let's stare at the fire for a while, then play in the river and grill some meat!"

She's smiling saying she even put watermelon in the water to chill, but I have a feeling I'll be going home about 5kg heavier.

Sitting in the chair and comfortably staring at the fire is quite relaxing.

Maybe it's because I've been so busy lately - waking up, studying, logging into the game in the evening and waving flags.

This kind of healing isn't so bad.

Yong-yong, who was staring at the fire with me in my arms, starts pestering me to get some marshmallows, but you didn't used to eat this stuff!?

When I look at my sister, she hands me marshmallows as if she'd been waiting for this.

Anyone watching would think our Yong-yong could understand human speech.

"Your sister wanted marshmallows too, and my little sister wanted some too!?"

"Actually, it was our Yong-yong who..."

"Kyaa! Are you being shy!?"

She suddenly hugs me and starts poking my cheeks, and it's driving me crazy.

If other sisters did this kind of skinship, I could shout "Thank you!" and even bow, but my own sister is an exception.

No matter how pretty my own sister is, to my eyes she's just...

"Your eyes look strange. You're not thinking extremely rude thoughts right now, are you?"

"Th-there's no way that could be true, right?"

"Then why are you stuttering?"

She keeps poking me telling me to be honest, and only after I say I want to eat marshmallows does she finally let me go.

Ugh, my poor self.

To think that I, the leader of the Red Revolution Group and a repeat student, would face such trials.

Ah, being a repeat student isn't really a good thing.

I put marshmallows on skewers one by one and start roasting them, and our Yong-yong is staring while drooling.

I start filming Yong-yong's appearance with my other hand, and he gets angry.

"Hey now! There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world! If you want marshmallows, cooperate fully with the photo shoot!"

"Little sister. That's my money."

"What's yours is mine! What's mine is mine!"

"Come here."

"N-no violence!!!"

After playing around with Yong-yong by the water for a while, I approach my sister clutching my rumbling stomach, and she starts preparing the meal as if she'd been waiting.

Today's lunch is barbecue, she says to look forward to it, and just imagining it makes my mouth water.

I want to eat quickly.

Since it will take some time for the meat to grill, I go to get the watermelon we put in the river water to chill for dessert in the meantime.

At that moment.

Suddenly feeling mischievous, I hide it on one side and urgently call my sister.

"Sis, it's not here?"

"N-no way!?"

With a scream, my sister comes running and checks where the watermelon was, then looks devastated.

I comfort her saying it seems to have floated away in the river, and tears well up in her eyes.

This wasn't in the scenario.

"I was looking forward to it..."

"Um, well..."

I take out the watermelon I had hidden in the corner and hand it to her, and she looks back and forth between the watermelon and me before a fierce expression flashes across her face.

"You dare to tease your sister!?"

"I-I didn't think you'd react this strongly!!"

"Come here!!"

Our Yong-yong watches me getting scolded with a disdainful look.

His eyes seem to say "Why did you do such a useless thing?", but it was fun!

This is Yong-yong's fault too.

"Yong-yong is an accomplice too!"

"Kyuung!?"

"Oh? Is that so."

After fooling around like that for a while, I start to feel like I've forgotten something when a burning smell comes from somewhere.

"Ahhh! The barbecue!!"

My sister runs off with those words.

She looks devastated at the sight of what seems to have turned into charcoal rather than barbecue,

I say this is all part of the memories too and get a knock on the head.

Hiing. So mean.

Somehow we finish the meal and devour the watermelon thoroughly, then sit in the chairs blankly staring at the fire when a thought crosses my mind.

After spending such a peaceful everyday life, I should wave the flag of revolution again, right?

I'll plant a flag right in the imperial palace of the Avalon Empire.

You dare put a bounty on me? Just you wait, old man.

My sister, who was using her phone next to me, calls me over asking what's going on, then asks if this is me,

I go closer to check her phone and see a picture of me waving the flag of revolution.

Being called a 21st century revolutionary.

The day has finally come. The day my sister found out.

I knew this day would come someday, but I hoped it wouldn't.

And on a day when we came camping, just the two of us.

An evil smile spreads across her lips.

An evil smile like she's caught her prey.

"Heh, so my little sister has been doing this kind of thing in the game?"

"W-well... It's just a hobby..."

"A hobby..."

Before I know it, she's hugging me and rubbing her face against my cheek telling me to explain in detail.

No, we may be sisters but isn't this too much skinship?

When I look at other families, they can't wait to tear each other apart!

We weren't like this when we were brother and sister!

I want to say this, but if our mom and dad find out about this, they'll faint for sure.

If they find out that one of their only two daughters is going around waving flags.

It's not coming out, and it's not rooming out, so should I call it revming out?

In the sense that I got caught revoluting.

"You'll keep this a secret from Mom and Dad, right?"

"Well. That depends on what my little sister does."

"P-please."

"Informal speech?"

"Please."

"There's no sincerity!"

"I sincerely beg you, sister."

"Louder!"

"Ah, I won't! I don't know! Tell them!"

I struggle and puff out my cheeks, protesting that I'm sulking and to let me go, and she marvels that it's not my first time doing this.

"As expected, this isn't your first time protesting."

She threatens to bite me and only then do I finally get released, but she says with a smile that she'll keep it a secret.

"Really?"

"Really."

She says we can pinky promise if I want, and holds out her hand to me,
but just as I'm about to take it, she grabs my hand and starts fiddling with it saying how small it is.

Why are you really like this!?

After finishing the eventful camping trip like that, on the way home.

While I'm blankly staring out the window because I'm nervous about my sister's driving skills, I hear a quiet voice.

"How is it? You've seemed troubled lately. Are you okay now?"

"......"

So she prepared all this on purpose because of me.

Feeling slightly touched, I say thank you and my sister smiles broadly.

When we arrive home and I'm about to hug Mom and Dad who welcome us, I get hit on the back of the head.

"Mom! Dad! Look at this! Can you believe what your one and only little sister has been doing outside? She's been protesting!"

"Sis!?"
