Sister, Don't Marry That Guy

Episode 4

If she called, how many times would he actually see her?

He was like an obsessive maniac in a romantic novel with a tenacious song. After 300 episodes have passed, his cruel gaze will return.

Wow, that was dangerous.

Laiya didn’t make a sound as she looked away.

Roy BlackWinter’s childhood had not been documented, so, it looks like I’ll have to bump into him more.

Laiya drew a deep breath.

It was time for her to think of how to begin her attack.

Swish. Swish.

The nearby grass shook.

The little girl turned her head to the refreshing sound, and there, her eyes met a small being.

A cat?

It was a cat. A cat with black fur.

It was not a very young kitten, but it was not big enough to that it still needed its mother’s care.

“Wow, the cat…”

Its eyes were a very pretty golden color.

The hair along its body was short, though strangely enough, only the tail was abundantly coated like a fluffy Persian bell.

You look really cute.

Laiya rose from her seat subconsciously.

“Meow, come here!”

[T/N: Meow – sound she made to get the cats attention.]

To her surprise, the kitten tried to sneak up on her.

It was vigilant, so it moved only just a little. The took a step again.

“Uh, are you coming?”

The moment she spoke again, Roy’s sword stopped.

Whoosh.

When the constant sound of the sword’s movements silenced, the only sound left was of the wind as it filled the space around them.

“You…”

Finally, the boy spoke.

Facing his sister, Roy gave her a bloody stare.

Ah, this angry face. Hiss.

Even if his hair was as dark as the other BlackWinter’s, he felt completely different from their father and Kyle.

There was a youthful brilliance in the red eyes that stared into the distance dazed. Of course, that wasn’t a positive sign for Laiya.

Because that meant that the clear and young intellect in his gaze turned hostile for a moment.

“Go away.”

Tap. Tap.

She was kicked out of their first meeting.

***

The following day, the little girl arrived at the same place, at the same time again.

Can I use it only once again?

She acted casual.

“Hi Oppa!”

This time, however, for a very, very short time, the speed of the swinging sword slowed down by a bit.

Of course, Laiya knew nothing about swords, so she had no way of knowing if it was real or her delusion.

But, how could that make her give up on her brother so easily?

She grinned at his back.

“It’s a good afternoon, right? It should get warmer in a little while, right Roy?”

If yesterday she had bumped into him unprepared, today she was fully equipped.

The parasol swung round and round in her hand.

She had brought it as she had previously felt sick and dizzy yesterday while under the sun for their duration together.

And a handkerchief to wipe off sweat, gloves that won’t let you sweat, and a light dress, etc.

Laiya had also, from noon, filled a basket full as she swiped the kitchen.

Yesterday, I was embarrassed by the brutality, so I didn’t get a chance to use it.

Remembering what she could not do the day before allowed her to strengthen her enthusiasm and determination.

Finally, the novel was on her side.

The little girl didn’t repeat her mistakes. Instead of sitting besides Roy BlackWinter as she did the day before, she shifted her seat.

A little walk away and she reached the place where the shadow of a small tree was cast.

Laiya took out a fabric from her basket and spread the mat out.

Then, she took out the tea, prepared it with her small hands, and drank her tea.

Well, this tea smells good.

After taking a sip, her brother’s sword froze as he looked at her.

Oh, sh*t.

It was cruel and disapproving gaze just like before.

“…”

If one looked closely, that blank face of his had a bit of embarrassment, am I not mistaken?

She wasn’t a bad guy.

It’s just, I was an orphan in my last life. I only ate pitiful meals.

Laiya took a sip, and then took another.

By then, her third brother had completely lowered his sword.

Well, I’m surprised, really. I thought you’d ignore me one more time.

The little girl thought of the various foods carried in her basket, and she thought of how to use them.

And… She would be like an improvised maracas with beans, it sound follows the karaoke tambourine.

Smile.

When you call for this younger sister, I will become like a servant and fly to you.

She was fully prepared to become Roy BlackWinter’s servant.

Roy came close to choosing whether he had any intension of ignoring her.

“…”

The boy’s shadow fell over her.

Facing him, though her face was shrouded in the shadow, she was shining.

Even the dust around them failed to hide her beauty.

Even from the illustrations, I always thought that it was alright for a villain to be that good-looking.  

Even if the 3D visuals were different, it’s not by much.

Unlike BlackWinter’s master, Titan BlackWinter, and the first born, Kyle BlackWinter, Laiya thought that it would pose much of a threat to her, so she was able to enjoy herself comfortably.

The thirteen-year-old boy frowned.

“…Yesterday too.”

He swallowed the rest of his words.

“Are you going to tell me to go away? Really?”

She hit the nail on the head. One of the boy’s eyebrows rose.

[T/N: hit the nail on the head means her guess was spot on.]

She thought he would most likely at any moment say, “Oh, get out.”

But that was not the case with her little brother.

She relaxed.

“But I got permission, brother.”

“…”

Seeing his lips move soundlessly, Laiya spoke faster.

“This is brother’s space, but the owner of it is our father.”

Laiya prayed inwardly.

Even if she gets back luck and he chase her away, please not right now. There was no way she not going to stay by his side. Just watch her.

“To visit Roy, I got permission to come pass here too!”

She told Titan BlackWinter that she was just passing through the area where Roy was, actually. So, permission was granted.

“It’s passing… You said there was no problem. Lady, why are telling me about this permission?”

Roy tilted his head in thought.

I just said it to say that I’m not going to be training, just passing. But, so what?

When she had asked for permission to use the training arena, the doctor had come running while thinking that she wanted to learn how to use a sword. He was difficult, and Laiya didn’t like that doctor.

“You will die early.”

This person is always saying bad things.

Are you actually telling an eight-year-old child that she is going to die prematurely?

She shook her head to clear her thoughts.

Of course, she was sure that her third brother would not ask their father directly. ‘

Because you want to be recognized.

He wouldn’t be able to ask if their father had really allowed the useless youngest sibling to use his training arena.

Roy would think of himself as an idiot. He would think it was a luxury for him to ask.

He might even think that he won’t even get his parents attention.

Like I did.

Someday, when his skills improve, he will want to be able to talk properly.

The book never had much details about Roy BlackWinter’s childhood, but Laiya could guess some of it.

Because, she was well aware of the characteristics and behavior of people with a sense of inferiority.

It was due to the fact that she lived as such in her previous life.

For herself, she began to heal when she started volunteering for reading fairytales.

If it’s for the current Roy BlackWinter, I can help you before it gets worse.

And if her predictions were incorrect and her brother directly asked her father for confirmation, “Have you allowed it?”

“…”

“You mean it was a mistake?”

Well then, to be honest, in a few years, Laiya may die. So, it wasn’t a big deal.

Instead, if we get closer, I can definitely help Roy BlackWinter.

Laiya turned her face.

Towards the boy who still looked down at her.

So…

I’ll help you just once, and you repay the favor. Okay?

You live and I live.

She relaxed.

With that, she grinned at him as he turned away from her.

Her brother returned to his original position.

But if she was not mistake, it was subtle, but it appeared as if he was just a bit more closer to her than before.

Is it because it’s not so annoying anymore? Maybe it’s his pride that makes him pretend not to care?

Either way, at least you care a little more than before.

Roy BlackWinter began to wield his sword again.

And Laiya quietly opened the basket.

Her brother was a like a cat, well, feline to be exact.

You can’t show a feline excessive or deep interest from the get-go, or they will escape.

You need to naturally allow me by your side.

An aroma permeated. Naturally.

Hah, will it work in time?

Laiya had long fallen with that novel. She had read it, but it was always fun to read it again.

In her previous life, she had loved books.

So, when she had gotten the chance to, she started telling stories to children. ‘

Sometimes, through public groups, they even read to children in places like department stores.

Occasionally, it was conducted in daycare centers and shelters which had kids that were in situations like hers.

Maybe it was because Laiya had like fairytales so much, but over time, she had memorized them. She had memorized a lot.

Even now, if necessary, she was confident that she could recite The Little Mermaid to Roy BlackWinter in a wonderful way.

Though, these brothers wouldn’t want it at all.

She turned to look at the clock, two hours had passed.

It’s time.

Roy BlackWinter was, surprisingly, still swinging his sword without a single moment of distraction.

Honestly, that’s great.

Of course, the boy was only human, so, there was a lot of sweat gathering under his chin.

Laiya opened the basket brought with her.

Hu hu, it’s time for the reveal of my secret weapon, brat.

As soon as the basket was opened, the savory smell of meat spread.

It was a sandwich with freshly cooked meat.

The kitchen staff freaked out when I asked them to put the meat between the buns.

When she had the staff in the kitchen make it for her, it ended up looking like a hamburger, but Laiya was still satisfied.

It was quite some time past lunch time, and Laiya was hungry.

She took a quick bit and sighed. Her eyes opened wide.

“Hey, it’s absolutely delicious!”

Wow, I prepared it, so of course it’s absolutely delicious, isn’t it?

The basket was of the enchanted sort, so the contents hadn’t cooled down at all.

Laiya pretended to not notice as she shook her sandwich.

Spread, now spread.

The smell of cooked meat spread.

Twitch.

And her targeted fish took notice.
