Volume 1, Chapter 96 - Casual Stroll

Translator: Sigma

Dark red blood dripped from the katana,reflecting light from the flame.

Neither Akira nor the insufferably arrogant young thug from the Hojo Clan registered in Lily’s eyes, the only thing in her mind was Nanako.

Did Nanako get hurt? Was her wound severe? Although Lily had treated them as her slaves on the surface, in Lily’s heart, Nanako and Shiu were her family.

If she didn’t think that, Lily would feel so very isolated and alone in this otherworld!

“No one is allowed to harm my family! My sisters! If I had been stronger and become as powerful as I am today, then I might have been able to protect senior sister at that time!”

When she thought of senior sister Rinne, Lily suddenly had a distant and bitter feeling. Just why did her simple wish of awakening her beloved senior sister seemed so far away from her!

“Senior sister, at least for today, as your little sister... Ah no, what’s wrong with me, how could I address myself as her sister, I should be her junior instead... At least today I can protect the people at my side!”

Lily walked firmly, neither slow nor fast, as if she was just taking a casual stroll. However, her cold eyes were fixed on Akira and Motoshige. If they dared to make any irregular move, Lily was prepared to speed up and take action immediately. This was a gamble. The closer she managed to get to Nanako, the higher the chance of rescuing her.

Lily wasn’t afraid of Akira’s team. What she was worried about was that Nanako would get hurt while she was trying to rescue her!

“Ka- Kagami Lily!” Akira and Hojo turned and shouted, “Just what are you...”

Ignoring all else in her surroundings, Lily already arrived next to Nanako.

“Oh...”Regardless of how much they lose their head out of fear, the two could already guess Lily’s purpose.

In front of the gracefully slender Lily, Nanako’s eyes only reached up to her chest level.

Nanako still couldn’t believe what had just happened right before her eyes. She trembled and sobbed periodically as she looked at the great beauty in front of her.

Lily sheathed her katana and gently caressed Nanako’s face with her slender fingers. Lily had a pained expression as her hand stopped at the swelling spot.

She used her pure white sleeve to wipe the blood on the corner of Nanako’s mouth. Then, gently bending her body forward, she adjusted Nanako’s front piece which had been torn open.

“Did it hurt?” She parted red lips and asked, her calm voice contained hints of worries.

Transparent tears filled Nanako’s eyes. Regret and affection twisted in her heart. Witnessing Lily’s power with her own eyes and the moment Lily arrived at her side, her heart had already melted. She was totally enraptured by this big sister. If it was now, she was willing to do anything big sister asked of her.

However, out of the blue, Nanako turned her head away. She didn’t want Lily to see her tearful face. Trying to suppress her crying, she answered with a somewhat unnatural tone, “It doesn’t hurt!”
