Vol 5: Chapter 9: Supporter
Short
The Holy Knight's Peaceful and Twisted Life
Supporter
I was still wandering around the slums...
I'm completely lost. I've been in the royal capital longer than Chris and the others, yet I'm such an idiot that I don't even know the way...
Quite a bit of time has passed since then. Chris has probably passed away by now.
"Uuuuu...! Why am I always like this at crucial times? I can't even go and call for help for my sister."
I feel so pathetic I could cry. I was so lost that I left my sister to die when she came to help me. I was more than just stupid; I was a fool. Chris had come to save me, but I...
"In the end, I couldn't do anything. I'm sorry I'm such a useless older sister..."
Unable to save my sister, and having failed to even go and call for help, I was so foolish that all I could do was cry in the middle of the slums... Even if I tried to move, my body was too heavy and I couldn't move because I had used too much physical strengthening.
"Nee-san?"
For some reason, I even started to hear Chris's voice.
Could it be that the guilt of having let someone die is what make me hear this?
"Um, Nee-san... what are you doing in a place like this?"
I heard it again. Eh, this must be an auditory hallucination? I raised my face, wet with tears. In front of me was Chris, with a worried look on her face.
"Ah, ah, ah... aaaahhhh..."
"Nee-san? Are you okay―― Woah!"
When I realize it to, I was hugging Chris. I could touch her. This wasn't a dream, a lie, or a hallucination. She was definitely here.
I think Chris acted a bit uneasy when I suddenly burst into tears, crying loudly and hugging her in the middle of a slum. Of course. But after a while, she whispered to me in a soothing voice.
"You've been crying too much lately, haven't you?"
Then she smiles and gently strokes my head.
So I don't know which one of us is the older sister.
As she stroked my head, I gradually calmed down, and she continued to lead me by the hand as we headed towards the inn. Chris was definitely the more reliable one.
...I can safely leave Aleph in Chris's care.
A child who is so kind and considerate of others.
If so, what I need to do is...
Yes, I've decided! I've been stubborn for a long time, but now that I'm free from the pain, I can say it from the bottom of my heart. I'm going to support the relationship between Chris and Aleph! I love Aleph, but I also love Chris just as much.
So, I have to help these two people I love so that they can be united happily! There's only a little time left until the Demon King is defeated... but even if it's just for a short while, I want to support them so that they can spend as much sweet time as lovers as possible. This time, I've been doing unnecessary things, but this time...!
Don't worry, Chris! Big sister will do her best to support you!
The older sister bares her fangs at her younger sister.
