"Hello? grandfather? Is there a problem?"
"Alice is back"
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Erina has complicated feelings about Alice, her cousin.
On the one hand, she didn't like the other person very much in the past, but on the other hand, it was the other person's efforts to help the family bring back her bastard mother, which made her very touched and very grateful.
"She came back to take someone with her. Hisako is good and meets the requirements. You can bring her here."
Senzaemon didn't say that he asked Erina to consider whether to follow Alice, but let her think about it on her own.
If Erina offered to follow Alice, Senzaemon would not stop her.
After all, Dimension The prospects for the Village are indeed very good, and at worst, we will shift our focus there in the future.
Or, build another Nakiri family in the Great Tree Village.
If Erina is not willing, then let everything continue as usual, and it will save him the trouble.
"Okay, I know."
Erina responded and hung up the phone.
After a while, before the other current candidates arrived, Erina returned home with Arato Hisako
"Grandpa, and .... "
Erina bowed to Senzaemon and then looked at Alice
"Hello, Erina, long time no see." Alice took the lead in greeting her cordially.
Erina nodded, took a deep breath, and then responded with a smile, "Long time no see, Sister Alice."
"! ! !"
"Erina, what did you just call me?"
When Alice heard this, her eyes widened instantly and she looked at Erina in disbelief.
She really didn't expect that one day she would hear the word 'Sister' from Erina's mouth.
You know, the two of them have been together since childhood. They just don't obey anyone. They have never called each other sisters, and they always call each other by their first names.
And now, Erina actually calls her sister?!
Senzaemon and Hisako also looked at Erina in surprise.
"Forget it if you didn't hear it, hum!"
Erina and the other three stared at each other very uncomfortably, but couldn't help but look away arrogantly.
"Alas! No, I heard it. I heard it, so that's okay."
Alice came to her senses and responded quickly.
But she couldn't help but moved forward and teased Erina, "Erina-chan has admitted that I am your sister. Come on, call her sister again to hear it. Erina's sister"
"Huh~ ! "
Erina shuddered suddenly and quickly took two steps back.
"Can you please stop calling me that? It's a bit disgusting. Besides, you deserve a beating, you know?"
She said, rubbed the goose bumps that had just appeared on her arms.
"If you deserve a beating, then you deserve a beating. Anyway, you can't beat me now."
Alice not only did not restrain herself, but instead proudly said with her hands on her hips.
