"Where are you now, and when will you come?...
Are you doing something dangerous again?...
Then, why didn't you take me with you? Do you think I won't protect you like the last time? I am sorry; I won't do it again, so please take me with you....
Promise?....I love you too" Scylla, who initially had a crying look, suddenly blushed when she heard him saying lovely words, silently cursing him, 'Bastard'.
"Give it to me" Scarlett snatched the phone. Scylla shot a glare at Scarlett, who nonchalantly shrugged it off.
"Ashy? Are you in Phoenix territory?...
Why are you there?...
Work? What kind of work do you have there?...
Really???
Yes, I know more than the expression you're wearing right now....I love you" Scarlett frowned upon hearing his voice, detecting weariness and a hint of hesitation, 'Is my mother bitch fucked him..?' A dangerous glint passed through her eyes.
Mia who was currently attempting to help the dying cat, confidently declared that her big brother wouldn't throw her even if he got a dog...an assertion that certainly didn't offer much solace to poor kitty Anna.
"Brother!!" Hearing others were talking with Eli, Mia tossed Anna without a moment's hesitation and hurriedly went.
'Thud'
'Twitch, Twitch' Kitty Anna's body twitched.
Snatching the phone from her big sister, Mia enthusiastically chimed in,
"Big Brother? How are you?...
Should I come, brother? I can help you...
Hmm, no? Then when will you come back???
Tomorrow... ah? Did that woman try to make a move on you?
No, Big Brother, don't trust her She is just a horny bitch who only seduces others...!!!
She can't? How did you know??
Old Lady? Yes, she is just a sagging old hag. Her body was not worth it, brother... if you feel too much, you can ask Big sister to calm you down, and... Well, I-It's not like I am b-busy or anything..I-I will take care of y-ou... ahahaha...
You know.... hahaha....
I-I.... Lo...vv..ee..yy...ou" Mia, who was initially cursing her mother, suddenly turned red; her lips trembled as she realized the implications of those words. In a mosquito voice, she finished declaring her love.
"Hehehe..." Scarlett giggled upon seeing her sister boldly saying something naughty but stuttering when expressing those sweet words.
"..." Scylla shook her head in amusement, offering a warm smile when she observed Mia's head starting to smoke from embarrassment, adding a touch of humour to the situation.
"M-Masterrr..." Kitty Anna finally snapped out of the delusion of being thrown by Eli.
She clearly saw those haughty eyes of the delusionary dog that smirked with a victorious pose.
A shiver ran through her spine at the mere thought of the impending reality.
"MASTER!!" Kitty shouted as her eyes glowed.
'Thud'
'Thud'
no way, I hope' Alysia's face twisted with worry for unknown reasons as she slowly walked out, leaving them behind without saying a single word, her mind swirling with Mia's unsettling words.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Mia, Scarlett, and Scylla covered their faces in shame, realizing the awkward aftermath of the conversation.
"Well, I'm tired. Let's call it a day..." Scarlett suggested, signalling an end to the bizarre encounter as she walked upstairs.
"B-Big si--"
"No, Mia. Go to your dorm" Scarlett immediately rejected whatever Mia was about to say, maintaining authority.
"Hmph" Mia pouted, her cheeks swelling up in protest.
"Even if you do that, I won't allow you" Scarlett said sternly, emphasizing the need for Mia to leave.
Mia knew her big sister was stubborn, unlike her big brother who would always shower her with love, "Hmph, Hmph" with a loud humping sound and heavy steps, she walked out, leaving a tense atmosphere behind. She decided to visit her friend who holed up in the dorm not wanting to meet anyone.
After Mia left, Scylla suddenly asked, "What's your plan with 'That Girl,' Big sis?"
Scarlett halted her motion and started to say something seemingly unrelated, "You know....My little brother was a shy person, an introvert".
"Huh?" Scylla was shocked to hear that, her perception of Eli challenged, 'Shy? Him? That bastard? There is no way...' she screamed in her mind, reflecting on how she was slowly seduced by that bastard without even realizing it....even though she was the one who first initiated it.
Ignoring her shocked face, Scarlett continued, "When he was young, he wouldn't even look at other women, much less speak with them..." as she reminisced about her brother's timid attempts to express 'I Love You' to her.
"Heheh..." Chuckling, she turned serious, "I don't know what led him to become a 'Playboy' however, his core still remained the same... once his eyes set his target, he won't let them go... even after death...You.won't.escape.from.his.grasp" Scarlett shook her head with a dangerous smile, hinting at the intensity of Eli's commitment....maybe much more.
"Surely, you know that, right?"
"..." Scylla couldn't utter a single word.
"I don't know about that Queen of the Flora Continent, but Marie, that girl, no matter what... she will eventually come into his hands" Scarlett said with an air of certainty, unveiling her understanding of Eli's ways.
"..." Scylla stared at the woman who seemingly held all the cards when it came to Eli.
"I'm not showing off, but I truly know him more than anyone.... how twisted his love is" Scarlett uttered, her expression turning lifeless, revealing the 'toll' that understanding Eli had taken on her.
"In order to attain that twisted love... I, myself turned as twisted as possible" Scarlett's eyes showed a level of craziness beyond even Lilith's, conveying ready to do whatever was necessary for his twisted love.
"His love is not something everyone or anyone could accept....." with those parting words, Scarlett entered her room and closed the door, leaving Scylla in contemplation.
"..." Scylla stared at the closed door before walking into her room.
'Munch, Munch'
In the living room, a munching sound echoed.
"Hmm, where did everyone go?" A tiny voice echoed.
A tiny apple-green-haired fairy, now fully covered in cookie crumbles, looked around in disbelief.
"D-Did they forget about me?" Tiana muttered, feeling a pang of abandonment.
"A-Alysia too?" Tiana blankly stared at the place where Alysia sat before.
Her eyes turned teary as she was about to cry when her eyes landed on the kitchen.
'Gulp'
With a hungry smile, she flipped her wings and shot towards the kitchen, eager to find solace in some treats.
