Older sister and younger brother

Thor looks at Monet, who is in front of him.

They had moved on from the fierce battle, and now they kept their distance as they looked at each other.

“I’m sure you’re disgusted with me.”

At Monet’s words, Thor shook his head from side to side.

“Why ……?”

Thor had a lot of questions he wanted to ask Monet.

‘I also knew that when I met Monet, I was going to let my emotions out.

But now that I actually saw her, I don’t know what to ask.’

Ever since that day when Monet suddenly disappeared, Thor has always thought about his sister.

When he was told that Monet was from a regression group, he didn’t believe it.

He wanted to think that his bright, kind sister couldn’t possibly be a terrorist.

He didn’t want to know anything.

“I don’t want to, I don’t want to …… know anything, I don’t want that, tell me, what happened, how did this …… happen?’

His emotions were complex and his mind was not right..

“I can’t tell you.”

After Monet told him that, she took a big step forward and delivered a seiken-tsuki from her left arm.

Thor caught Monet’s attack with his right elbow – immediately after, Monet swung her leg out.

“……. …….”

Thor turns his body upside down, and Monet’s feet pass in front of him.

Monet then follows up with a flowing series of moves.

She leaps up, twisting and turning in the air, kicking off with her heels.

Thor flew backwards, dodging the attack.

While Thor is out of range, Monet approaches Thor as he lands and dives in.

From there, the two exchanged moves with blinding speed.

From the opponent’s breathing or slightest movement, they predict the next move and counter it.

The attack and defense are like a performance, made possible by the fact that they know each other’s moves well.

They had corrected the differences between their imaginations and the actual movements of their opponents, which came from their past combat experience, during the fight.

The battle rages on.

Monet was trying hard to control her emotions so that she wouldn’t smile through her ruthless expression.

Despite being at odds with her brother, Monet was happy to see him grow up and was enjoying herself.

In response to Monet, Thor has a stern expression on his face the whole time.

The resentment and sadness in Thor’s heart grows.

Both him and Monet pause and he let out a ragged breath.

Sweat falls to the floor in puddles.

Thor can’t control his emotions and starts screaming.

“Why don’t you tell me? Because I’m unreliable?”

Thor was a child and Monet was a grown up.

She felt ashamed of herself and could not forgive herself for disappearing without saying a word.

“I wanted Thor to stay intact.”

Monet’s words, which she spat out as she squeezed them out, contained bravado as his sister.

“Don’t be selfish, I wanted to suffer with you. ……”

Thor has very few memories of his childhood.

When he came to, his parents were not there, only his sister.

To Thor, Monet was his sister and his parent.

It means that Thor was dependent on Monet, just as a young child is dependent on his parents.

In the end, she thought, the problem was that Thor’s spirit was too young and unworthy.

“I’m the only one who has to suffer.”

Monet said slowly, hiding her distress.

Then the battle begins again.

The fight seemed to be evenly matched, but Thor was getting the better of it.

The cause is the difference in body size.

If their physical enhancements and fighting skills are at the same level, Thor, who is taller than Monet, will have an advantage.

Monet has to get in close to Thor to compensate for the height difference.

Her strength is drained and Monet’s movements begin to lack finesse.

And that’s when Monet felt she was trapped.

Swept off her feet by Thor, she floats, instantly, into the air.

Thor didn’t miss the slight opening that occurred and put his fist in Monet’s back.

“It’s ……. ……”

Hitting the ground from behind, Monet is unable to breathe for a moment.

“I’m sure you’ll be able to understand what I mean.”

No matter how many times he tried, he could not beat Monet, and Thor felt miserable each time.

Today is his first win.

He should be happy …… and Thor bit his lip and looked at Monet.

“I win.”

Monet, with a melancholy expression, muttered, “Well, ……

“So …… what are you going to do, grab me and hand me over to the mages or something?”

‘I can’t do that.’

Thor says with his eyes down, and Monet, seeing this, says.

“You’re sweet ……. You’re really sweet …… you and Owen both ……”

What Monet has done so far is unacceptable in a magical society.

“So you’ll kill me here? I’d prefer if my brother killed me, then I could die comfortably.”

At the moment Monet said that, there was a thud and the sound of the floor shattering.

With the opposite arm from the one holding Monet, Thor punched the ground.

“You can’t just say you’re going to die on your own, you’re going to die and end everything, you’re going to die to atone for your sins? Then what am I supposed to do with what’s left of me? I’m not going to die ……, but don’t say that.”

The look on Thor’s face was uncanny.

“Don’t …… say that when I can’t …… kill you.”

Monet regrets her own inadvertent remark.

Monet is free to die, but it would be cruel to leave it to her brother.

Monet turned her head away and looked away from Thor.

And that’s when.

Suddenly, the ground shook with a roar.

“I’m not sure what to say, but I’m going to say it.”

In the next moment, Monet saw a part of the ceiling collapse in his vision.

Thinking it was bad ……, Monet kicked Thor away.

Immediately afterwards, a huge rock fell towards Monet.

“Oh, ……, …….”

Monet, who was trapped under a rock, began to bleed profusely from her stomach.

Thor is speechless at the sight of Monet.

And shortly after, he realizes that he has been saved by Monet.

“Why?……”

He wobbled closer to Monet, letting out a weak cry.

And when he got to her side, he broke his knees and muttered.

“Why did you …… cover for me?”

Monet could have taken Thor’s place.

And yet, she chose to get herself hurt.

Monet looks at Thor with her woozy, open eyes.

“…… because you’re my brother.”

“Haha ……, I don’t get it, why are you fighting to protect me ……, I really don’t get it.”

“Yeah, I know. …… I don’t know what …… that means either.”

The blood flowing from Monet’s body soaks the floor red.

“I’m sorry.”

“Why are you apologizing ……?”

“I didn’t notice anything.”

It was all thanks to Monet that Thor was able to live without any inconvenience.

Now that I think about it, there was something unnatural about it, but I didn’t notice.

I had some vague fears, but I pretended not to notice them.

No matter what inconvenient truths were hidden, Thor had to know.

Thor gave Monet a hug.

“I’ll protect you from now on.”

“What are you talking about, …… I can’t ……”

Monet has done things for which there is no excuse.

There is already no place for Monet in this society.

“Let’s run away …… somewhere far away, don’t worry, we can handle it.”

Thor tightened his hold on Monet.

“You’re an idiot. ……”

Monet mutters with tears in her eyes.

And I feel safe in the warmth of Thor’s arms and his growing body.

She didn’t think she was a good person to be saved, but she still couldn’t push Thor away.
