Lena had previously felt offended by this thought, but today…
From both appearance and surname, Renji didn’t show any connection to Miyuki, so Lena could almost determine that this pair of siblings was most likely only “nominal” and had no actual blood relationship.
Then… Lena didn’t dare to imagine further.
Even if, even if she was indeed overthinking, Miyuki’s cherishing of her younger brother was real. What she was about to do now was equivalent to snatching away Miyuki’s most beloved younger brother from her hands. Just thinking about such a thing…
Lena felt that she was doing Miyuki a great disservice.
Miyuki might also be unable to accept it. Although Miyuki appeared gentle and kind on the surface, Lena knew that if there was something that Miyuki absolutely could not tolerate, it was undoubtedly her younger brother.
But…
Could she give up?
As Lena ran away, she did indeed have the thought of giving up. After all, Miyuki was the first person she met in this city and the person closest to her. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Miyuki was like family to her.
But I…
The pink-haired girl clutched her phone tightly once again.
From the moment she decided to call Miyuki and ask her to come down, Lena had already made up her mind.
I… don’t want to give up!
For the first time, I had someone I liked, someone with whom I could go shopping, take photos, and play games… I don’t want to let him go!
I just simply love Renji!
I just want to spend the rest of my life with him!
For this, I am willing to pay any price and overcome any obstacle!
Even if it was Miyuki… I will not give up!
As this belief rose in her heart, Lena suddenly felt as if a great weight had been lifted off her shoulders. She even felt that certain seals in her mind were loosening, and some blurry memory images began to flash rapidly before her eyes.
It was like the world of “Fallen Chronicles II” that she was currently developing, and she seemed to have truly become a character in it, a succubus princess, while Renji had become a human emperor, the savior of the world. They had experienced many things together, they…
When Lena tried to grasp onto something more, a sharp pain emanated from the depths of her mind, preventing her from further exploration. It seemed that it wasn’t enough; she was still missing something…
It was in this daze that footsteps sounded behind Lena, followed by a familiar gentle voice.
“Lena, what’s wrong? Are you feeling dizzy?”
“No, I’m fine…”
Miyuki seemed to have a kind of magic that could make people relax instantly. It had always been like this.
Lena shook her head at the blonde girl who was concerned about her. The severe headache receded like the tide with Miyuki’s arrival.
As for those memories and influences, Lena dismissed them as wild thoughts produced by her excessive nervousness.
“Miyuki, the reason I called you down is actually to tell you something.”
“Hmm? What is it that you have to say outside?” The blonde girl tilted her head curiously.
“Just now, your younger brother… he came home, right?”
“Huh!? Lena, how did you… Wait a minute, don’t tell me…”
Seeing the blonde girl seemingly realizing something and covering her mouth, Lena nodded.
“I only found out today when I drove him home that… that the person I told you about yesterday, the one I like, is actually… is actually…”
“Is your younger brother.”
Lena had thrown caution to the wind. After saying it, she even closed her eyes as if awaiting judgment.
She was prepared for Miyuki’s attitude towards her to take a sharp turn, becoming cold and even hostile.
But…
“Is that so?”
“Phew! That’s great! I’m relieved then~!”
Miyuki’s voice, sounding very happy and even a bit pleasantly surprised, rang in Lena’s ears.
This caused the pink-haired girl to immediately open her eyes with a verry strange and confused expression.
“What’s with that expression, don’t tell me you thought I would… be against you because of this?”
“I… I…”
Having been seen through by Miyuki, Lena lowered her head in embarrassment.
Now it was the blonde girl’s turn to puff up her cheeks in annoyance.
“Lena, what exactly am I in your eyes? A super brocon? Mmm…~ Alright, I admit that I do love my brother very much, but it’s precisely because of this that I hope even more for Renji to find happiness and a great partner!”
“A while ago, he came home and told me that he had someone he liked. Although I supported him, I was still a bit worried. What if he was tricked by some bad woman out there? After all, Renji is so innocent. But now it’s all good!”
“If the person Renji likes is you, then I can put my mind completely at ease!”
Miyuki said while holding Lena’s hand. Her emerald-green eyes were filled with sincerity and joy.
“Really? You really don’t mind!?”
“Although the thought of my dear brother being taken away by another woman is indeed a bit annoying… Of course, I don’t mind at all. After all, I’ve always considered you as my little sister. In fact, hehe, this means we’re truly becoming a family now!”
Seeing Miyuki envisioning a beautiful face, Lena felt it was unbelievable. Everything seemed like a dream.
She had thought this would be the most difficult and arduous hurdle, but…
it was this simple?
“Alright, seeing your expression, if you’re still not at ease, how about we pinky swear? Whoever lies will be a puppy!”
Miyuki took the initiative and extended her pinky finger towards the pink-haired girl.
“Okay, whoever lies is a puppy!”
“A puppy indeed~!”
After making the “puppy promise,” Lena finally felt completely at ease. After all, she knew Miyuki well. As the founder of Forest Alliance, she was a woman with a strong sense of pride. Breaking a promise and acting like a puppy might seem like a joke, but for a strong woman like Miyuki, it was more effective than anything else.
Even if Miyuki truly regretted it later, driven by her pride, she would definitely hide it in order to avoid becoming a “puppy”…at least not showing it on the surface.
No, that’s not what I mean!
What is wrong with me?
Miyuki had already said many times that she didn’t mind and even blessed me, yet I still keep treating her as an imaginary enemy!
Don’t tell me that I can’t even trust Miyuki?
“Then, let’s leave it at that for today. I’ll head back first. I still have some company work waiting for me to handle.” Lena felt a bit ashamed of her own dark thoughts and wanted to go back to calm down.
Miyuki nodded understandingly.
“Mm-hmm, you’ve worked hard, Lena. And oh, don’t forget what we talked about yesterday.”
“What we talked about yesterday?”
“Yes, didn’t I say that I would fully support your relationship, Lena? Now it’s even better. Since it’s our family’s young brother, it’ll be easier for me to help you~!”
“Then, I’ll be counting on you.!”
“Hehe, leave it to me!~”
