Chapter 260: Eina and Little Sky
“Little Sky...?” Eina repeated those words after hearing them from the Village Chief.
“Uh, she’s the little goddess of this village, our Princess,” said the Chief.
So it’s the name of a person. Eina did not expect it.
Eman didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at that ‘Little Goddess’ title. But he could not argue against it as all the people inside this domain were blind fanatics of Little Sky.
While tapping her head, he said, “She’s a mischievous young girl. I will introduce her to you later.” Eina heard her brother say those words. She looked at her brother and returned her gaze to the village chief, who was nodding his head.
“Little goddess? Mischievous?” Eina tilted her head. She was more curious now about this person that her brother and village chief were talking about.
Based on their conversation, it seemed this person named Little Sky was very known in this village.
.....
Suddenly, Eina felt uncomfortable. She felt hot. She could feel sweats gushing out of her body. She looked around and noticed the white world of the winter season had disappeared like a puff of smoke.
“Regardless, brother... What kind of place is this? Why is this place not cold? It was as if it wasn’t in the winter season?” Eman noticed her sister looked around in confusion as she asked those questions.
“It was clearly the summer season here, seeing how dazzling the sun was,” she added. No wonder she felt hot because she was still wearing a thick fluffy coat for winter under such a hot weather.

“That’s because it is summer here,” he replied honestly and simply.
“W-what do you mean, bro? I’m sure it’s winter just now.”
Eman smiled faintly. “Don’t worry I will tell you everything. For now let’s change our clothes,” after saying that, Eman shifted his gaze at the village chief. “Chief, we’ll come back later, we’ll go to change our clothes first.”
“Okay, My Lord. I also have important things I wanted to report to you, My Lord. I hope, My Lord, will spend an ear to hear it,” said the village chief while bowing slightly.
“Of course, let’s hear it after a dinner celebration.”
“Thank you very much, My lord.”
After nodding, Eman and Eina left the clearing. They were heading towards his house. Arriving in front of a slightly bigger house, Eina looked at her brother and asked a question.
“Bro, whose house is this? It looks simple but beautifully made.”
Eina was actually very amused at the houses in this place, they were simply made of wood, bamboo, stone, and mortars, but they were well made. And their designs were very different from those of houses in the empire.
“This is our house.”
“Eh? Our?”
“Mhm,” he nodded. “Let’s go inside.” He wondered if Sky was inside. She was probably doing something that he, a used to be Shut-in like him, did before. That little fella had been addicted to watching anime recently.
Those Pest-Eaters... are probably one of her pesky imaginations.
Eina could still not believe what she heard. But anyway, she followed her brother as they climbed the bamboo ladder. Arriving at the top of it, her brother rotated the knob and opened the wooden door.
After pushing it, the door opened. However, after opening it, “My Loooorrrddd!” She heard a scream.
Suddenly, there was a pair of tiny arms hugging her brother’s waist.
“I miss you, My Lord! I miss you, My Lord!”
“Eh? W-who?” Eina muttered in astonishment.
Maybe hearing her, a head peeks out from the gap between her brother and the door.
She saw a cute face with a pair of blinking round eyes.
Eh? Who’s this adorable kid? Eina asked in her mind.
“P-Princess!?” The little girl looked shocked as she screamed those words.
Eh?? Eina blinked her eyes while question marks floated above her head.
“Hey, Sky, let us in first.” He heard her brother say that.
“Uh! S-Sorry, My Lord!” Sky quickly retreated to let them pass.

After going inside the house, “Eh? What?” Eina was glancing around in amazement. The inside was clean and beautiful. It wasn’t what she expected when she was looking at it from the outside. It was as if the interior of the house was a different dimension. The floor looked smooth as if it was tiled with expensive tiles. But she was sure the house was made of wood and bamboo. So how come it had smooth and shiny tiles with exquisite design?
Noticing his sister was staring at the floor with a gaping mouth, and amazed eyes, Eman opened his mouth. However, before he could tell her, “That’s a floor mat only, P-Princess,” Little Sky beat him in telling her about it.
Eina blinked her eyes twice at the adorable little girl. Nonetheless, “Eh? F-Floor mat only? Really?”
Suddenly, she knitted her brows. Maybe this little girl thought she wasn’t aware of what a floor mat is.
“I know what floor mat is, but those are very different from this one,” she said while slightly pouting. She probably thought that this little girl was fooling her. The floor mat she knew was made of beast hides. They were either fluffy or rough.
“Eh. They are made of rubber and plastic. That’s why they are smooth.” She heard the little girl sounded serious, so she probably was telling the truth and wasn’t fooling her. She looked at her brother and saw him nodding his head.
“They are made of rubber and plastic?”
“Yes,” her brother confirmed.
“How did they do that?”
“Well... there are some procedures for that. But you need an expert to make them.”
“I see. It looks like it was real marble tiles.”
“Regardless, Eina. As you may already know. This little girl is Sky.”
“S-she’s very adorable, brother.”
Eman smirked. Little Sky already knew about her sister. Sometimes he was asking her to monitor her when he wasn’t around. Eman then asked Sky to help her sister take a bath. But he secretly warned her not to teach her sister any weird ideas or inventions.
“Okay, My Lord!” She saluted.
Eina could not get enough of Sky’s cuteness. She was looking at her as if she was an adorable little animal. A bead of sweat then appeared on the face of Sky as she was urging Eina to come with her. Though, Eina was wondering what kind of relationship this kid had to his brother.
