Chapter 164 - I Think There Is A Situation Here

"Why? Big Brother is big brother and if you two are close to them isn't he also my big brother…?" Rika asked. 

"T-That-" He sneered at me but not for long since her little sister was looking at him. He can't let her sister see him at the moment. But I don't mind taking all sorts of frustrations I got from him. So don't mind me if I step out of my boundaries. 

"Yes, President… How come you are denying the fact that we are close? Your sister is my sister as well, right?" I bowed down and extended my palm to make a fist sort of thing. In response to it, Rika bumped her fist to mine and looked at her big brother. 

"See~! We are even closer… I don't get it. Why are you so against the idea? It seems fishy…?" With suspicious eyes, Rika looked at the President or more like her big brother. Although I am surprised by the fact that she is able to say all sorts of things so easily that if I were her age, I wouldn't even hold a candle to her. She talks so naturally as compared to children of her age… no wait, have I ever met any elementary school that I should be comparing to her? I suppose that's how elementary school's are these days. 

Anyway, let's talk about the topic at hand. 

"Rika that's true but-" He again looked at me but of course not with hostility but more like he wanted redemption. 

I suppose I really am doing a cruel thing to him since introducing your sister to the enemy and allowing him to be called a brother is truly frustrating since he can't find any logical inference to counter attack the proposal. But don't look at me with that worried look since I won't be going easy on you no matter what. Better be prepared for the consequences. 

"Rika, I think your brother doesn't like me… I suppose we can't talk anymore… Let's forget about each other… It's your brother's wish…" I said. I won't be describing how I talked right now but influencing a child's consciousness without her knowing is quite easy. 

I suppose paying attention in English classes did help me out in real life. It's been stated by an author that a child's mind isn't of it's own, he/she can be influenced quite easily. 

"No! Big Brother is that true that you don't want me to talk with- with-" She looked at me. 

"Allen." I replied. 

"Yes! Allen! Is that true Big Brother?" Rika seemed like she was about to cry. 

And of course the question in person wasn't at least a bit pleased. It appeared as if he would bash my head against the red light if I didn't shut up. But I wasn't finished yet. 

"Ju-Just give me a minute…!" the President Exclaimed. I repeat the President got shaken by her words. Succes! The trick was a success. What's better than trying to infiltrate the enemy grounds with the help of an insider? And if the insider holds much more authority than the leader then I don't even have to worry about getting caught. 

"See… I suppose this is goodbye, Rika…" I said and turned around. 

"Wait~! Big Brother I hate you~! I thought you would be happy that I made a brother just like you but you are bad…!" Now this is unexpected. 

My plan was just to make a long lasting impression on her and in case we met again I could trigger it and annoy the President again. ALways savor the moment. But it appears that I have to cancel that plan.

"Wh-wait Rika?!" 

Maybe this is also better. SInce the president is so distraught that I find it hilarious and pitiful at the same time. 

"I will go with this Big Brother. You hate me, don't you Big Brother Number-2~!" That was a deep damage. Calling her real brother number two and holding my hand is truly a beast move. Young lady you should really become my little sister. Cunning, smart and most of all cute. I would give you half my wealth if you officially become my sister. The pleasure of getting a sister and the pleasure of watching the President getting killed from inside would be worth it. 

"What?!" At that spot the pResident was on his knees heart broken but his sister didn't care to give him another look. 

I was supposed to be leading the way but she pulled me forward and walked ahead pouting and looking at her brother. 

"Are you sure you want to let him be like this…?" I asked. The reason being I wanted him to look more of his looks, it was the most thrilling thing of all time. Seeing the President kneel, I could even feel him getting inferior to me. Young lady destroyed him more before I destroyed him. 

"Yesh! oops-Yes~!" she replied. 

"Yesh? Is shat sho?" I asked. 

"Don't make fun of Rika!" Although she was against the idea of me making fun of her nevertheless she didn't let go of my arm. 

"Sorry, sorry. But Young Lady, where are you taking me? The road to School was right there." I said as I indicated my fingers to a small road two blocks behind. 

"MMMM~!" She got flustered. Maybe she doesn't know the route. 

"It's okay. Sometimes it happens to small kids." I said laughingly. 

"I am not a small kid. I was just testing you if you know the route or not! Yes, that's the reason!" she exclaimed. 

"Hmm?" She knows that I know it isn't true nevertheless she tried to put on a bluff. I wonder if that confidence comes in their genes or just in the siblings? Frst the never ending thirst to get me out of the school from her brother and for her… I don't mind it at all. 

"That's right…!" she said. 

"Then how about you follow me or more like you supervise me while I lead the way, that way you can see if I know the route or not, hm? How about this?" I asked. 

"Let's see… that does seem like a better option." She said, 

"Then shall we leave?" I asked. 

"Okay!" 

Watching her bright smile I also wonder if I also ever smiled like that when I was of similar age? I suppose I did, the only thing that disturbs or haunts me is those dreams and this situation. 

… 

The moment I entered the school I noticed gazes that I never felt till now. I looked around instead of averting their eyes. They seemed to be looking at me suspiciously as if I did some crime or something. While I replaced my shoes I noticed Iris standing in the middle of a mout hanging. What's the matter with her? Olivia who accompanies her usually seems to be chuckling, again why? And I noticed a familiar figure this time with Iris. The person who attacked me all of a sudden that day when Iris came in the class for the first time. And as usual he was looking at me with hostility. 

"Allen!" I heard Alex's voice. I turned around in response to the call but didn't tell him not to approach me in the school? 

"What is it, Alex?" 

How come his eyes are looking down instead of meeting my eye line? He usually talks to me that way but not today, and here comes another why? What's with the sudden weird gaze today? 

"Allen, did you happen to work in a shady company that lets you carry small girls around?" Alex asked. 

"Sarcasm?" I asked. 

"Yes… but with genuine concern." He seemed a bit shaken up. 

I looked down and noticed Rika clenching my pants from behind with a half hidden face. Wait, am I not supposed to bring her here? Now that I think of it, she must also be going to school, right? 

"Rika didn't you have to go to school today?" I asked as I bent down to meet her eye line unlike Alex. I sneered at Alex for looking at Rika since his looks were making her uncomfortable. Get a hint dude, she is just a small child not like a grenade that will blast any moment. 

"I… suppose I did…?" She herself was confused. 

"Now this is a weird situation. Then shouldn't you have said something when we left the President behind?" I asked. 

"..." she looked down. 

"Allen aren't you supposed to fill me up?" Alex asked with a complete idiotic face. Wait, it's his usual face. 

"I don't work in any shady company like that so don't worry about me getting arrested and secondly she is a child not some creature that spawned from a dark forest or something so can you at least try not look at her with those weird eyes? And also tell the others not to creep this girl out just because of me." I said as I tried to respond to those gazes. 

"Oh-Right. Sorry." He instantly bowed in apology.
