Chapter 788
I felt jealous that they had someone they could openly express their feelings to
“It’s a good thing to get into such fights while you are still young. As long as no one is injured. Hearing the other person’s honest feelings could help them.”
“At the orphanage, children often became closer the day after they fought.”
“If you two think so… Well, I suppose it does seem like they are unleashing things that they have been keeping in.”
“Exactly.”
After hearing Sebastian and Ms. Lyra, I started to think that it would help the sisters get along better.
And so I nodded to them and decided to just watch things as they played out.
Though, Leo and Rahle were still uncomfortable.
It was amusing, since they were both such strong monsters.
“…I’m starting to feel a little jealous of them.”I muttered.
I didn’t have any siblings. I did have cousins, but we were never close.
After all, they had already left home when my uncle took me in.
Though, they did give me gifts when we met, and they were nice… Perhaps they also were not sure how to act around me.
“Would you like to fight with me then?”
“What are you talking about… Besides, I don’t think I could win against you, Sebastian.”
“Is that so? But you’ve been taught how to fight with a sword.”
“You can’t use a sword… Oh, you’re just making fun of me now.”
“Hohoho. It’s just that watching them has brought back some old memories.”
Apparently, Sebastian was originally from the slums.

“Hmph! I don’t care what you say!”
“Hey! Wait, Tilura! We’re not finished…!”
“Wou!?”
“Kii!?”
As Tilura had stormed off, the argument suddenly came to an end.
Claire tried to stop her, but Tilura ignored her and ran into the mansion.
“Oh! How could she run off in the middle of the conversation…!”
“Ah… Well, neither wanted to back down. But I don’t think someone so young can argue for so long.”
“Ah…Mr. Takumi. Sorry that you had to see that.”
“Not at all. It was a different side of you. Though, it was a little surprising for us at first.”
“Wou…”
Ms. Claire finally realized that we had been watching, and so she apologized frantically. Her cheeks were also flushed.
Leo was sighing with relief that it was all over, and Ms. Lyra was petting her.
“Mr. Takumi… I am sorry, good Leo. And you too, Rahle. And Liza… You don’t have to look so scared, alright?”
“Wou.”
“…It’s over then…?”
Liza had been burying her face in Leo’s fur as if to hide. And it was only after Claire apologized that she finally raised her head again…
