Chapter 46 "Staring in the mirror"

"Go,uu,d,mo,or,ni,ng"

The day after playing with Aki at the amusement park, Emma visited my room early in the morning.

Apparently she couldn't wait because I had promised to go out with her today.

I was a little worried when I heard that she fell asleep yesterday, but it seemed that I was worried over nothing.

Young children are quick to change their minds, so she may have forgotten and fallen asleep.

"Go,uu,d,mo,or,ni,ng"

I also greeted her slowly just as she did.

Then Emma smiled at me, looking very happy

"Hmm"

As I was being soothed by Emma's cute smile, she opened her arms and looked up at me.

This was Emma's signal, "Dako".

Every time I met her, I was asked to hold her up, so I already remembered it.

I put my arm around Emma's small body and held her up firmly, making sure not to drop her.

"Ehehe, Onii-chan"

When I hugged her as requested, she rubbed her cheeks on mine with a sweet voice.

( This kid really likes hugs.

Well, I'm happy, so there's no problem at all.

What happened to  Charlotte rather than that? )

She didn't seem to be there when Emma came to me ...

"Hey Emma-chan. What happened to Charlotte? "

Normally, she would definitely follow her sister, but she wasn't there, so I asked Emma, who was still giving me cheek-to-cheek.

"Yup……? Lotti has been staring at the mirror. "

"Staring at the mirror ?"

What is it?

Charlotte, what are you doing alone ...

"Yup! So Emma's all alone."

Emma proudly said, as if to praise herself.

Maybe she wanted me to praise her for coming alone.

The proud attitude was cute, but I can't praise her honestly when I thought about her future.

"Emma is still young, so you shouldn't go out alone. The outside is full of danger, you know.

Emma was still too young to be out on her own, so I warned her not to do it again.

She was  very cute and young on top of that she was a foreigner.

If she walked alone, she could be easily targeted by strange people.

If she were to disappear, Charlotte would become very depressed.

Above all, I myself would have been in shock.

I didn't want that to happen, by any chance.

"Is it no good……? 』\

Perhaps it was a shock to be scolded insted of getting praised, Emma looked at me with watery eyes .

Ugh ... I felt guilty.

It felt like I was bullying a weak person.

The upturned, teary eyed look the girl gives me is foul, I thought.

However, I couldn't afford to lose to her look.

I couldn't let Emma in danger.

"Yeah, it's dangerous, so If you want to go outside, you have to go with Charlotte or your parents, alright? "

"Muu … yes ..."

Although she seemed dissatisfied, Emma nodded properly.

She properly listened to everything I said.

"Good~ Good~, Emma is a good girl, afterall."

"Ehehe"

When I gently stroked her head and praised her, Emma's tearful expression turned into a smile.

--Ping pawn.

As I was stroking Emma's head, the interphone at home rang.

Perhaps Charlotte had come.

"Ah ... after all ...!"

When I went outside with Emma in my arms, Charlotte was in front of the door as expected.

Her cheeks were puffed up and she looked angry, probably because Emma had come to my house alone.

I guess that would be natural.

More than Charlotte, She was so cute ...

She was dressed in black on top and a pink skirt on the bottom.

Despite the fact that both are simple-no, it was because they were simple that made Charlotte's charm stand out.

The black clothes especially made Charlotte's beautiful silver hair look even more attractive.

She was wearing black tights and a thin layer of makeup on her face, which made her look more mature.

I understood the meaning of "staring in the mirror" that Emma said.

( Charlotte is dressed up to go out with me today.

Maybe she just dressed up to go out with her friends, but I'm still happy. )

"No more! Why did you go out alone! "

Charlotte was angry with Emma in my arms.

On the contrary, Emma turned away from her.

"Lottie is slow! "

"I think it was bad to keep you waiting, but you can't go alone! And there is still an hour before the promised time! "

"I don't care ! Emma wanted to play with brother as possible! "

"It's not good, it's a nuisance to Aoyagi! And you didn't even change your clothes ...!"

The Bennett sisters started arguing about me.

I was sure they would make up in the and so I didn't interrupt them.

Looking at the close sisters who were still arguing, I decided to think about today's schedule.

――By the way, after this, Emma was once taken back to Charlotte, and then came out wearing very cute clothes.
