38 Chapter 37.

"Little brother, really though, who is this beauty? You can't expect me to believe my virgin little brother landed such a hottie, can you?"

"It's really true big sister! Why don't you believe your little brother?"

My sister looked back towards my wife with a questioning look.

My lovely little wife finally came to my rescue and silently nodded her head to affirm my declaration.

"Really? Are you serious?"

My big sister walked over to my wife and extended her hand and placed it on her forehead.

"Are you feeling well? Do you know what condition it is? How long do you have left to live?"

Why are you suddenly showing such a look of concern towards a woman you have never met before?! What is with this difference in treatment and what do you mean how long does she have left to live?! Do you think your brother can only land a terminally ill patient in a hospital?

Those novels I've read are all just scams! Sexy big sister seducing her little brother? Hah! Don't make me laugh, keep dreaming you foolish little tools! This is the cold harsh reality of siblings related by blood!

My sister is one reason why I didn't ever mention bringing my wife to meet my family. In the end she always treats me like this.

"Little brother, now that I think about it, why were you knocking to get in? Where are you keys?"

It was finally time for the excuse I had thought of earlier. I brilliantly proclaimed with absolute conviction and a smug, proud, complacent, satisfied smile on my face like there could be no other answer, "I lost them."

"Oh I see."

Ha! I am a genius! If this was a novel I would have definitely said, "I died, tehe." But I'm not so naive to go and say something completely moronic like that.

"Couldn't you have at least come up with a more interesting reason? Like you got mugged or shot and died but came back to life with a new body and just realized you no longer have your keys because you died?"

"..."

Big sister, are you a wizard? A prophet? An omnipotent god? What the hell? Why? No, really! Just, why?

"What's with your look? Why are you taking it so seriously, it was a joke. Did you really die and lose your sense of humor?"

"Yeah, I did."

"Big sister, have you been reading too many stories lately?"

"I have, those stories under your bed and in that folder on your computer were pretty interesting. What were they called again? Oh right, mmph."

No no no no no. Don't you dare, not in front of my wife! I quickly ran over to my big sister and covered her mouth with my hands before looking over to my wife and saying, "little wife, I have some things I must discuss with my big sister. Please excuse me for a moment."

I suddenly felt a pleasant chill run down my back and I hurriedly looked back towards my big sister. Did you just lick my palm? Big sister please don't mess around in front of my wife. Do you even know how scary she can be?

Ah, I get it now. She wants to make things difficult for me. A single, jealous woman is a scary thing! I know you're frustrated that your little brother came back with a wife and married ahead of you, but please don't try to give my wife the wrong idea!

What's with your eyes that look like you're declaring war against the entire world. Why do I feel a strange sense of overflowing conviction radiating from your body? Why do those eyes feel like they scream the urge to fight to the death until you breathe your very last breath?

Shouldn't it be my male friends who sabotage my relationship? Why is my big sister acting like a jealous dude with nothing better to do with her time? Did you suddenly decide to undergo surgery?

"Beautiful big sister, my wife has always mentioned to me that if she ever met you, she would like to introduce you to her attractive male friends."

Yes, those eyes brightening gave me all the confidence I needed. That was of course until my wife decided to correct me.

"Husband, did I say that? I don't even have any male friends. However, if it's a girlfriend I do have one in particular that I could introduce."

My sister really tries her best to act nonchalant, indifferent, and uncaring; but there are certain things that she can never hide. Her eyes truly gave away everything; others may not be able to read her expressions, but I definitely could.

Those eyes glaring at me were definitely saying, "little boy, you are dead to me. Dead!"

I should feel scared when being looked at by such eyes, strangely enough, rather than scared I felt more excited than anything. Just to reiterate this, I am not a pervert. I am a suave gentleman who gets excited trying to think of ways to quell a girl's anger. Yes, that must be it.

After I reaffirmed the self denial further within my heart, I thought of a way to redeem myself. Thinking back now, wasn't there an arrogant prince charming that came to this world with us? What if I tied the knot between these two who like to look down on others? Wouldn't they be a match made in heaven?

Ah, being such a benevolent master in the way of love really is difficult. So many things to do. So many things to do.

In case the heavens above are listening into my thoughts, repeating myself was for emphasis in case you didn't realize the brilliance of how my inner mind works.

Crash.

Looking up at the sky for a moment to check, the sky was completely clear. Not a cloud in sight.

Hmmp! It looks like my little buddy heavens up above really is listening in. If you are there crash once for yes and twice for no.

Are you listening in on my thoughts little buddy up above the world so high?

Crash.

Holy mother Jocasta! I didn't think it was for real, I wonder if I could use this. I couldn't stop the evil smile that contained multiple different meanings from appearing on my face. What the smile on my face at this moment meant would only be revealed in the future.

"Little wife, don't you remember that prince, Ten Jo? He would definitely be a match made in heaven for my beautiful big sister. Don't you think so?"

"Ah, now that you mention it, he is here too."

When my big sister heard the word prince, her ears perked up slightly to listen in carefully. She was definitely after the money to live an easy life. I know you too well big sister. We are one in the same after all; supreme slackers who want to be carried through life.

"Well big sister? Are you interested now?"

"Ehem. Whatever are you talking about my wonderful little brother, come in, come in. We should go meet mother. Father is still working but he should be done soon."

You could really put more emotion on your face and into that tone of yours. That flat tone and uncaring face, if I wasn't your brother I would never see through the sparkles hidden deep within your eyes.

My sister grabbed both my wife's and my hand then dragged us into the house. When I suddenly appeared in front of my mother who was listening to music on her phone while cooking, she dropped the ladle she held and gasped in fright like she had seen a ghost. She tends to get scared easily from the dumbest things. It's really so strange how she almost gets a heart attack if people just suddenly pop up around the corner without her hearing them.

Who am I kidding? I do it purposely every time.

"Idiot son! Scaring the living daylights out of your mother!"

When my mother composed herself after she was scared senseless, she picked up the ladle and tried to give me a good whack on the head.

Seeing as this wasn't some sort of gag manga, I naturally dodged like a speed god with my superior reflexes. That's what I'd like to say, but I just tripped on the side of the carpet on the ground, fell backwards and hit my head on the edge of the table behind me like an idiot in my attempt to look cool while dodging in front of my wife.

Damn, how lame. Having thick skin naturally had its benefits though. I stood back up like nothing happened while my mother had a good laugh seeing my failure.

"Ehem, mother, I have brought your daughter in law to pay a visit."

"Who's?"

"Yours."

What's with that look of incomprehension and lack of understanding on your face like you can't understand how those words could possibly be put into the same sentence when coming from your son's mouth?

My confidence took another great blow on this day. I'm really taking way too many heavy blows today. I couldn't help but wonder if I stepped on some cursed, supreme grade dragon shit when I came back to my realm.
