Chapter 11- Aria Silvereye (Part 3)

A few minutes later, the two met outside Rin's room. The awkward atmosphere between them eased a little bit and it made Rin even more relieved.

Getting called a pervert by his own sister is surely not the greatest first impression he could have.

'Don't fuck it up, Rin. She is kind enough to treat me like a real brother would. I must not ruin it!' He thought inwardly.

Aria looked at him silently before turning around and starting to walk downstairs. Rin hurriedly followed after her.

The two found Selina near one of the windows looking outside silently, most likely reminiscing about her heydays or merely wasting time by enjoying the view.

"We are going out for a run," Aria said.

"Oh! How rare for both of you to be together? Am I hallucinating? Fufufuf!" Selina laughed as she looked at her children with warm eyes.

"Take care of him, Aria."

"I will surely do."

The two exchanged looks as if they were trying to convey something to each other without Rin knowing.

'Why am I feeling as if something is going to happen? Is this some kind of language I'm too stupid to understand?'

"Ehem!" Aria coughed slightly.

'Bless you.'

The two then excused themselves and walked outside. The house was located on a hill surrounded by the city. The view from this place is mind-blowing, one could sit there and watch the horizon for hours and he will never feel bored.

Rin's eyes glow excitedly when he saw it. He never thought this world could look this beautiful. The blue sky, the clean and fresh air, and the calm atmosphere. He had already grown accustomed to the smell of blood, rotten corps, and pollution so breathing some fresh air made his lungs feel light.

'Seeing this world turn into reality is very amazing.'

"Are you ready, Rin?" Aria called for him from slightly far away.

"Yes. I'm coming."

The two then started jogging toward the city down there. They weren't intending to go deep into the streets but they were still going to check the place nevertheless. Aria wanted him to look around.

As they were running Aria suddenly asked him.

"Are you hiding something, Rin?" She asked.

He peeked at her from the side for a moment as if he tried to discern what was the real meaning of her question.

'So she's still suspicious. I guess the story of 'I lost my memory' is too flawed. Sigh, I'm sorry, sister. I can't tell you anything for now.'

"No, why do you ask?"

"It's just my own curiosity and also a small hunch. I want you to feel comfortable enough to speak with me about anything."

"Mmm, I know. I will come to you if I need some kind of help."

"Good… Good…"

The two then went silent for some time, they didn't know what to talk about. Rin was especially feeling really awkward because he basically knew nothing about to Aria for him to start some kind of conversation.

'Ah! Mother said that she studies at an academy. Maybe it's the same academy that the protagonist attends? I should ask her. Or maybe it's too rude to do so?'

"I attend Divine Sapphire Magic Institute or DSMI for short."

"Huh?" Rin tilted his head in clear confusion.

'Wait, how did she know what I was thinking of?!'

"I thought I should introduce myself to you."

'Fuh! I almost had a stroke from shock. Imagine if she could actually hear my thoughts lol. That would be a nightmare for me. There's no way that's possible.' He shook his childish thoughts away with a chuckle and continued his jog.

"Oh, I see. Hehehe, I was confused for a moment. Mmm, I don't know if it's rude to ask this… But… Are we related by blood?"

"Hmm, why are you interested?"

"No, because Your features and mine are completely different and your hair is also different from all of us." He asked.

'Her hair is the most beautiful I have ever seen. Why does red hair like that not exist in my old world?' He sighed under his breath.

Aria suddenly halted her steps and looked at Rin with a squint.

"Hmm? Is something wrong?"

"No… nothing at all…"

Aria then started running again as she added.

"Actually, you are right. We are not related by blood. Mother and father adopted me when I was young and since then you all became my dear family."

"I see…" Rin smiled at her. He didn't show any great reaction and kept his calm but his mind was definitely not calm at all.

'Oh, nice. The cliche of all cliches, stepsister. I can't even bother to think that it's something weird. This whole world is weird. But, this is reality, there is no way she will fall in love with me or something like that. That's too generic to be true. Yes, we are simply brother and sister and we should keep that familial love intact for the sake of it.'

"Stupid…" Aria murmured.

'Besides, Aria seems like a serious and disciplined person. Surely she won't look at me in such a way.'

pAn,D a-n0ve1,c-o-m "I do…" She murmured again.

'Why are you whispering gibberish, sister? Are you ok?'

The weirdest conversation was occurring between a beauty and the thoughts of an equally handsome man. It was most likely the only time such a thing will happen.

The city looked like it was pulled out of a fantasy novel. The buildings looked old-fashioned yet aesthetically beautiful and well-designed. The streets were clean and wide enough for many people to pass easily.

Finally, the people of this world, all looked fairly normal with fantasy clothes that he saw more times than he could count. Rin even saw a few wearing armor and holding swords.

'This is really a fantasy world. I never thought a day will come when I will roam the streets of such a world.'

It all looked so normal yet so foreign to Rin, however, one thing was for sure, he liked this place. It was something he, as an anime fan, dreamt of seeing at least once before but never really thought he could do so. Yet, here he is, running around the streets of a fantasy city with his sister.

"Do you like the place?" Aria asked.

"So much. It looks so mesmerizing." He answered honestly with a careless smile.

Aria also smiled at him warmly.

'Let's soo now how many miles I crossed. System?'

[40 miles, host.]

'Good. I didn't feel that tired from it.'

"Oh, no! Thief! A thief stole my money!! Please, catch him!!"

As they took their turn, the two heard a scream before a person passed beside them at the speed of the wind. People watched as the thief ran away quickly.

'A thief?'

Before he could even react properly to it, Aria had already vanished from his side and was running after the thief. Rin blinked a few times as he witnessed Aria's speed. She was able to cross 10 meters in a split second. Her body almost appeared like a blur to the eyes.

The thief kept running from one side to another of the same street to avoid any obstacles including other people trying to capture him.

In less than 4 seconds, Aria closed the distance between them enough for her to capture him. But, instead, she jumped in the air and swung her leg at the thief.

*Bang*

The poor man was sent flying toward the other side of the street before laying limp on the ground.

Aria approached him again and restrained him quickly before he could escape.

Many watched the show with an impressed look before they started clapping.

"Isn't that Lady Aria?"

"Oh! It is indeed!"

"As expected of Lady Aria! She's The Angel of Aiviresion after all !"

"Hey shut up! It's rude to talk about Lady Aria like that!"

Many surrounded her and started calling for her like some kind of fan. Aria simply smiled at everyone and said.

"Could anyone please call the guards here?"

Her perfect figure along with her kind smile shook the heart of everyone present. They were completely captivated by her charm and her kindness. This was not the first time she helped them even though she was the daughter of the duke and a high noble yet she was as humble and as kind as an angel.

That got her the nickname 'The Angel Aiviresion'. Such a grandiose name fit her character perfectly and became really popular.

Rin soon reached her and could only watch from the sidelines as his sister was showered with praises.

'Wow! Aria is really something else!' He praised her in his heart honestly.

Her appearance as she handled this attention from the crowd was something worthy of respect and admiration.

'She really looks like a noble now. Her aura is certainly different.'
