Chapter 218: Complaints

“So you prefer the elf who wasn’t in your previous life to me, who’s related by blood. Do you like unusual things? Or do you like that tsundere kind of thing? Should I be a tsundere too?”

Sophie became very sulky. Even including her past life, the number of times she sulked like this can only fit in the number fingers on one hand. This was about as sulky as she’d been in her previous life when I’d won by a huge margin in a game of “Wah-wah-panic.

“So, Sophie…”

“What’s wrong, tsundere elf-loving brother?”

“………”

When I talk to her like this, she doesn’t take me seriously. But it’s a lot easier than when I was being gunned down during her rebellious period.

“We’re going to be a little late, but I can’t help it…Raiden Triple Half Enchantment.”

“Eh…”

I took Sophie in my arms and started running. Then we went out of the city. I didn’t go through the gate and went out through the wall without permission, but it was probably okay. I dropped Sophie off at a place a little far from the town.

“Sophie, tell me all about what you’re dissatisfied with.”

It is usually counterproductive to say such a thing to someone who’s sulking. It might just make them sulk even more. But that’s only if we were really 13 years old. But we lived to be about 18 in a previous life. Then, even if we were sulking, we should be able to talk things out.

Then Sophie looked down a little and turned her head, but slowly began to speak.

“I didn’t like the fact that you promised to go out with the elf alone without my permission. I also hated the fact that I wanted to be with you as much as possible, but you didn’t mind being away from me for two days in a week. I was in close contact with you for six hours and I was nervous the whole time. I’m still nervous about it. And yet, I hated the fact that you seemed to be okay with it…. I hate more than anything that you only see me as your little sister!”

“……… I see.”

As I thought, Sophie seems to be a hoarder. I also think that somewhere in my heart I still didn’t believe that Sophie liked me.

“I’ll only hunt monsters with Elira in the morning or afternoon. Then it won’t be a problem if you come. Also, the reason I wasn’t nervous during the forging was because I had a lot on my mind.”

If it’s just the morning or the afternoon, it’ll be fine without both me and Sophie.

And also, when we were in close proximity, I was desperately thinking about how to keep the God thunderbolt hidden from Sophie, so I didn’t have time to be nervous.

“I’m going to look at you not only as a sister but also as a member of the opposite sex.”

Sophie said she would try to show me herself not only as my sister after our sibling quarrel. But I guess she realized that even a little while later I was still only looking at her as a sister. They say that women are sensitive to the way we look at them in our previous lives. Maybe Sophie had been worried about that for a long time. Up until now, I have only said vague things about trying to see Sophie as my sister. So from now on, I’m going to see Sophie as something other than a sister.

“Picorn! 』

The title of “The one who has surpassed the sister complex” has been acquired.

“I understand. I can feel your sincerity. So I’ll stop sulking.”

“I’m glad if that’s the case.”

The strange timing of the report of the acquisition of the title made me a little pensive.  Well, I’m glad that my feelings were conveyed to Sophie.

“So let’s get going.”

We hadn’t decided on a meeting time, but it was getting late because we had made a little detour. It would be better to go early.

“Yes!”

“What?”

Sophie opened her arms as she approached me. I could only look at her, not knowing what she wanted.

“Please carry me in your arms again.”

“Huh…I’m going to keep seeing you as my sister if you do that kind of thing…..”

“I want to be with you as your sister. It’s not that I don’t want to be your sister. If I hadn’t been your sister in my previous life, I wouldn’t have had such feelings for you. It’s because I was the sister who was able to see my brother closer than anyone else that I fell in love with him so much.”

“…Shut up, let’s get going.”

I took Sophie in my arms a little roughly and started to run.

“Zero-niisama, you’re all red up to your ears. You’re embarrassed.”

“If you know that, don’t say it.”

“You’re so cute in that way, I like it.”

“Shut up and let me princess carry you.”

“Yes.”

From there, we continued to run in silence. That did not mean that the atmosphere was bad. Rather, there was a sense of comfort, as if the two of us were communicating with each other.

By the way, when we arrived at Gladden’s place, he got angry at us for being late. Sophie and I looked at each other and laughed, then we both apologized. And from there, the sword-making process began immediately.
