"I heard Alice's cousin has returned. She wants to go to Yars to celebrate his fifteenth birthday. Since you are also almost ten, I have already spoken with your parents. Your father is too busy with the frequent monster appearances recently to come over. So, I'm thinking of bringing you back to Buena Village for your tenth birthday. It just so happens that Alice is going to Yars. You should go back for your birthday during this time!"
"Okay, are you all going to Yars?"
"No, I don't like Yars. There are people there I dislike. So, my father, Shaulus Boreas Grelat, will take Alice to Yars, and Ghislaine will also be there to guard them."
"Understood. Then please arrange a carriage for me. If Miss Alice returns, please notify me."
"No problem, I'll have someone pick you up then."
Oh wow, I can go home and see my Sylph! How much has she grown in three years? Has she become a great beauty? Has she grown her hair long? Will she feel strange seeing me? Ah, this is giving me a headache.
Just like that, I returned to Buena Village, back to my family. I spent a happy birthday there. My two younger sisters had grown up and kept calling me 'Big Brother.' Aisha and Norn were both beautiful prospects; seeing them made me feel so relieved. Hopefully, there won't be any incestuous developments in the future. I felt a little excited in my heart.
Sylph also came to my birthday party. She had grown up too. She must be ten this year as well. She is too beautiful; I love my pretty childhood friend so much! I must maintain this close relationship with her.
After dinner, I took her hand and led her to a secluded spot, whispering to her, "Sylph, just wait two more years. In two years, we'll go to Ranoa Magic University together. We'll study magic together and improve together. In two years, we'll be together forever."
"Okay, Rudy, we'll be together forever."
It felt a bit ambiguous. I'm ten now, so it should be okay, right? I secretly kissed her. Wow, she didn't dodge; she just blushed. If she didn't dodge, it means it's okay, right! Just as I was preparing to take a step further...
From the dining table area, Mother's voice called out, "Rudy, Sylph, where are you? Sylph, your father is here to pick you up."
Damn it, another cliché scene.
Sylph whispered next to me, "Hehe, naughty Rudy. We'll continue in two years!"
Then she darted away.
The next day,
"Waaah, Mother, I want Aisha's candy."
"Norn, you've already eaten one. Why do you keep snatching mine?"
"Waaah, I just want to eat it! Mother, I want more!"
At that moment, Lilia walked over again, squatted down, and lectured Aisha, "Aisha, you need to let Young Miss Norn have some. You need to know your place and follow the rules, understand?"
To ease the awkwardness, as the older brother, I stepped forward, picked up Norn, and displayed Water Magic in front of her to stop her tears from falling.
Father Paul returned from outside.
"Hubby, you're back."
"Yes. The monsters have been appearing too frequently recently; this is definitely not normal."
"Hubby, look, what is that?"
Mother's words drew the attention of the entire family.
There was a red, glowing sphere in the sky. Its light was immense, and that location should be Roa. Was someone casting magic there?
It was visible from this far away; this must be King-level magic!
I watched as the sphere grew brighter and brighter. Norn, hugging me, held on tighter and tighter.
Suddenly, a beam of light shot out from that sphere. At a speed I couldn't possibly react to, it covered us. Instinctively, I gripped my magic wand with one hand and held Norn with the other.
Then, the world turned pure white.
