Chapter 9: Letting It All Out

Four days have passed since the last day I had lunch with my little sister; during that time, I continued to play with her. Due to my constant efforts, I have managed to raise her affection towards me quite a lot. [ Name: Elda Lionheart Age: 6 Talent:9/10 Title: None power: Null Love: 89%(sibling love) Description: wants to get close to her big brother, bdoesn'tent know how.Looks a bit down on you due to your wimpy side. >desires to play with her big brother DifficultShe+ (she is a child if you play your cards right, she's yours..) ] During this time, a rumor started to spread that I had begun to change from my wimpy side. After it spread, my mother visited me, and I gave her an Oscar-winning performance. Teary-eyed and indignant, I screamed.. "Moth, er, don't worry about me, I am worried more about you. You haven't slept in a long time, and I know that stress is piling on you." You don't have to worry about me, mother, I have decided to change for the better, I don't want to burden you." I will do my best so that I can help you." I tried my best to play the character of an innocent boy who had begun to change, and immaturely, he dreams of helping his mother. I must have done well, because the result I got was a teary-eyed mother who hugged me like I was the most precious thing in the world. Right now, I am sitting in the library, reading through different books while planning how to conquer my big sister. Unlike Elda, I can't just spoon-feed her and expect her to start gloating all over me—if she lets me spoon-feed her, that is. She already has a mild dislike for me, so erasing that and starting anew isn’t easy. Sighing and rubbing my head, I start to drink the tea Mia had brought me. "Sigh, if only I could have some support. Well, she’s a kid after all; she might throw tantrums." But then again, maybe that’s the key. If I can find a way to connect with her on her level, I could turn those tantrums into laughter. I needed to be strategic, to show her that I wasn’t just her big brother, but someone she could rely on. With a plan forming in my mind, I took another sip of tea, feeling a newfound determination. This was going to be a challenge, but I was ready to take it on. It was only then I realised something, ' of course she's a kid!!' Right now, I am planning on how I can conquer the mature Nora, not the kid Nora. I'm acting like an idiot. In the game, the story only officially starts in the school, where she was 20 years. Why is she 20 and still in school, you ask?? That's because, unlike the normal school, the school she attends is attended by nobles from around the world, and the graduation age is 24 years. The Babylon imperial school was created by all the races and was located in the city, which was the most popular and greatest city in the world. It is a floating city located between Silvyia and Silvie realm, a city comprising the world's greatest school and the head offices of many important establishments. The school normal starts for 14-year-old kids and lasts for 9 years. Leaving aside all that, I think I might have an idea for making that big sister of mine fall. "Young master, eldest miss Nora requests your presence." Speak of the devil and the devil shall come, smirkin. I asked Mia to lead the way. Walking towards my elder sister's location, I started revising some of my earlier made plans. 'Looks like I need to push things up a bit.' Musing to myself, I was led to the area where my sister was located. Entering the room, I was greeted with the sight of my sister enjoying her tea while the sunlight surrounding her made her look mystifying. While entering, she looked towards me.. The normal Austin might have flinched and looked away, but I looked directly into her eyes and confidently strolled into the room. My demeanor surprised her a bit; she had heard about the things I had done these few days and wanted to see for herself if I had changed. 'Looks like the rumors are true after all' While my big sis was musing to herself, I sat next to her and started drinking my tea. For a moment, a strange silence lingered between us, as the tension had started to make the maids uncomfortable, and my sister made her move. "How's your body?, Are you alright now?" "It's fine, I have mostly recovered, and I am doing well now." "I see, that's good." Again, silence prevailed over us as the tension threatened to rise once more. I suggested, "Why don't we play some chess?" The offer hung in the air, a potential bridge between us. She glanced at the board in the corner, her expression softening slightly. "Chess, huh? Are you sure you can handle losing to me again?" I chuckled, feeling the tension ease just a bit. "I might surprise you this time. Besides, it’s not about winning; it’s about enjoying the game together." With a reluctant smile, she nodded. "Alright, let’s see what you’ve got." As we set up the pieces, I felt a glimmer of hope that maybe this simple game could help mend the rift between us. My suggestion surprised him, but after thinking about it, she nodded. " Sure, I have some time before my next class." After some time, the maids had arranged everything, and we had begun our game. Not to brag, but as a straight A student and a rank holder in universities, I am quite good at chess. Ass our game began, I started my plan. "Big sis, I know that you think that I am responsible for Father's death and that you dislike me for it." I made the first move along with my words, and she flinched when she heard my words, and her piece almost fell.. "You don't have to deny it, it's, true but that doesn't mean you have the right to accuse me of anything, you weren't there, you didn',,t see nor did you experience what I did, and don't worr,y I don't blame you." THUD I placed my next move. "After my father's idea, I ran away and hid like a coward, and I wasn't there to support you; it's my fault. I realised that late, but from now on I will change" THUD She made her move, her expression crumbling. "Big sister, I know father's death hit you very badly, I know you hid the pain behind that external appearance of yours." THUD I made my move, my sister was trying her best to maintain her expression. So let me in, Sis, I promise you to stand together with you, to be your support, you can cry, sis, you can be yourself when you are with me." THUD She made a move; this time, her hands were trembling. "I am the younger brother and I know that you think it's your responsibility to stay strong,g, but let it go for now, I want to see my real sis, the one who, despite being in pain, still hides it. THUD I made my move, a my sister's body was trembling. "Let it all out, sis, don't hide it, everyone is there with you, we all love, I love you." THUD She made her move I place the final piece. "Placing the final piece, I stood up and walked towards my seated sister, who now had tears flowing down her face. I walked close to her and pulled her into my embrace." Though I am shorter than her, due to her being seated, when I hugged her, her face came upon my chest, and immediately, like a broken dam, tears flowed. She clutched my shirt and started brawling out in an intense cry, her body shivering, a nd she let out all the grievances she faced all this time. Her pain Her suffering Her anger Her unwillingness Everything was let out today in her tears. I stood supporting her, waiting for her to finish, when a notification hit me. +30,000 affection
