Chapter 261: Sisters
“Yes, princess, that’s a shower. If you turn the knob, water will fall from above.”
“E-ehh? R-Really?”
“Yes. Try it, princess!”
“How?”
“Here. Turn this knob.”
“O-okay...”
Fwosssshhh!
.....
“Wahh! I-It’s raining!”
“Hehe. No, princess. They come out from the sprinklers.”
“Eh? Sprinklers?”
“That one above us.”
Eman heard Eina’s curious questions. Sky, on the other hand, was enthusiastically answering her every question.
“Ooh~ what is this thing? How can it produce water in the house?”
“That’s a sanitary appliance. Its main purpose is for washing your body.”
“Sanitary appliance?”
“Yes. My lord created them from out of nowhere. He can do all things. He is the creator of all things!”
Oof! Eman almost slipped when he heard it. This Little Sky... What did she think of me? A god? Only the almighty one can be allowed to be called the creator of all things.
“Fufufu. My brother wasn’t like that. By the way, Little Sky, why are all of you calling my brother your lord?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Because he’s our creator.” Eina felt more confused. There’s no way her brother birthed them all, no? She wondered why her brother was respected by these people here. She needed to ask him about it later. She is also very curious about the relationship her brother has with Little Sky. Why did he have a house here? And why is he living with Sky? This is very suspicious.
“By the way, you shouldn’t call me a princess. I’m just an ordinary bystander. Princesses are those in the palace and those living well-off lives with their families. Although there are many reasons that a person can be called a princess, none of those reasons warrant me to be called a princess.”
“Eh? Then, shall I call you ‘Your Highness’, then?”
“No no no! I don’t mean anything like that. I mean, I am just a normal person. So instead of calling me a princess, why not call me Sister or Big sister instead?”
“But Princess Eina is a sister of our lord, a higher being who created us all, and all the things here. I have no right to call such a person my equal. That’s a big insult to you and our lord.”
“.....”
All about the lord and such... Eina wondered what her brother was teaching to Sky. She felt like she would faint from talking with her.
“Then, I give you the right to call me big sister:” Sky blinked her beautiful eyes twice as she looked at Eina. Eina could not help but melt deep inside as she looked at how adorable Sky was. She’s like a little angel, Eina thought.
“.....”
Sky fell silent. She looked like she was pondering.
“I-If that’s what the princess wants... then I guess I have no choice. Okay, Big sister...”
Eina clasped her face and blushed when she heard Sky calling her a big sister. She felt an indescribable feeling of warmth deep inside. She did not expect it was this good that someone called her big sister. It was like she suddenly had a younger sister.
“Mhm! That’s very good,” Eina smiled.
“Princess is so pretty...” Sky absent-mindedly muttered.
“Hey!” Eina yelled at her.
“Uh, I mean big sister!”
“Fufu.”
It seems the two managed to get along very well, Eman thought.
“What is this?”
“That’s a bathtub, Big sister Eina.”
“I see. So this is a bathtub? I heard that only wealthy families can afford to buy this.”
“Really?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm, so most people in the Empire are so poor?”
“Eh? What do you mean?”
“All houses here have this.”
“What? Are you sure?”
“Yes.”
“Even those wooden and bamboo houses?”
“Yes. All of them. They also have showers.”
“.....”
Eina fell silent as she could not believe this place. Just what kind of place is this? She asked in her mind.
“Come here, Little Sky. I’ll wash your hair.”
“Eh?” Little Sky looked embarrassed. But Eina insisted. So in the end, she still allowed her to wash her hair.
“Your hair is so pretty, Little Sky.”
“R-Really?”
“Yes.”
Their voices are loud so Eman heard them even if he was in the kitchen, preparing porridge for them.
He wondered what Eina’s reaction would be like if she also saw these appliances around, especially the laptop and TV. Also the refrigerator. Well, he would let Little Sky do the explanation.
For some reason, it felt like Sky was a child from earth because of her earthling knowledge. She would surely fit as a normal girl in that world. Just don’t include her superpower though.
While thinking about earth, he suddenly missed it. Even though he had many bad memories in that world, he also had a good number of good memories, especially his memories with Marie.
Although they didn’t have a good ending, he was still happy that he managed to save her and fulfil his role as he promised when they were still dating. A promise to protect her if something was to happen.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEman was unaware when his mouth curled into a smile. He wished a good life for Marie. As he was mulling about his life on earth, his nose suddenly smelled the yummy aroma.
“Oh, it’s cooked.”
After this, he would go visit the Elder Dark Priest in his Domain. He wanted to ask about the task he gave him before.
Regardless, he also wanted to identify those people who were tailing them. He was curious about their identity. But, that’s not important for now.
After about one and a half hour, Eina and Little Sky finally came out of the bathroom. Eman immediately noticed their closeness. The two of them acted like sisters.
As expected, Eina once again widened her eyes at all the things inside this wooden house. All of them were unfamiliar to her.
Especially those rotating things on the ceiling that produce wind. What is that?
“Brother... am I dreaming right now?”
Hearing that question from her sister Eman could not hide his smile.
“Of course not.”
“But... all these things around me, they are only possible in dreams, right?”
“No, Eina. These foreign things around you now are the products from a modern country. They are called technology.”
“T-Technology?”
“Yes, Big sister. My lord is right. By the way, Big sister, let’s watch anime together!”
“Anime?”
“Yes! Anime!”
“Before that, you must finish your porridge first,” Eman said to the two kids.
“Okay, bro.”
“Yes, my lord.”
.....
Eman smiled at them. He was relieved that Eina and Sky were treating each other like sisters.
However, he almost spat the porridge out from his mouth when Eina whispered something into his ear.
“Brother, is Little Sky your child?”
Pft!
Good thing he managed to cover his mouth right on time.
