Chapter 150: The "Hardworking" Sword Saint Grows Strawberries on the Mountain
Rin relaxed his whole body, lying flat with his chin resting on the pillow, enjoying Yuki's massage comfortably.
Suddenly, he shivered, his ears turning red, and he almost fell off the bed when he turned around.
Subconsciously covering his already sore ears, still feeling the fluctuation of the water element, he weakly pointed at Yuki and said, "Silly Sword Saint! What are you doing!"
Yuki's expression was also odd, her ruby-like eyes swirling with tiny stars and covered in a layer of mist, like a trembling starry sky in the dark night, obscured by dark clouds.
She now felt like a traveler exposed to the sun in the desert for days, experiencing a strong sensation of dehydration, accompanied by intense heart palpitations almost bursting out of her chest.
Finally... she took action against Little Rin!
Brother, Little Rin, is mine in this moment!
Her mind was already filled with thousands of brothers, unable to contain anything else.
Watching Rin with gnashing teeth, in his pajamas with a missing button revealing a glimpse of his collarbone, Yuki felt that her Valkyrie talent for calmness and composure had completely lost its effect.
She held Rin gently in her arms, calming him down as she stroked his fur. The tense little cat melted, giving up his guard and snuggling in her embrace.
"Little brother, you're all I have now, so... no matter what, I want to be closer to you."
Yuki's voice became warm and sincere, with a hint of pleading.
Even though they were not really related, just using the titles of brother and sister, when they met again, they felt a sudden warmth that swept them off their feet.
It was like a tiny spot of light suddenly appearing, growing larger until it enveloped her completely. It lifted her from the edge of a cliff, transforming the dark and decaying world into a vibrant one.
She didn't understand why her brother saved her, why he cared for her even though they were strangers. The drunken words from before puzzled her, but she decided those questions weren't important as long as things were like this.
No, it wasn't enough yet. She felt that something was still missing between her and her brother. She wanted to get even closer, until she could become a sword exclusively for her brother, always protecting and holding hands together, that's what she truly desired.
Rin's voice sounded drowsy, almost like he was in a dream, "To want to be close to you... I don't have to do strange things, strange."
"Can I kiss my little brother?" Yuki asked bluntly.
Rin still didn't understand, he tilted his head and asked, "What did you say?"
"It's for my little brother," he explained.
Unable to hold back any longer, Yuki leaned in closer.
...
After a while, Rin looked up dazedly at the peeling wall paint on the top of the wall, feeling like he was wandering in a dream.
His lips were reddened as if he had just eaten some ice cream, and his face had a rosy glow like a painting.
Suddenly realizing something was not right with his neck and shoulders, he woke up abruptly, feeling startled by the strange sensation. He shrunk his neck in fear, pushed Yuki away, and let out a fierce roar like a baby tiger.
"You foolish idiot Sword Saint! What are you even thinking with that head full of reeds! How dare you... be so audacious and reckless, going against... your superior! Silly sister, you deserve to starve!"
Yuki stepped back, looking frightened, "B... brother, I didn't mean to, I... I don't know why, I'm sorry."
"Stop saying useless things... Me..."
Rin said, feeling a bit frustrated, scratching his head, "I know I can't stay mad at you. Just a silly dog I raise, yet so cunning... Argh! Annoying! Get out of here!"
Hearing Rin's first words, Yuki's already content emotions overflowed once again. She couldn't hear anything else afterwards. Even if called a silly dog, she wanted to excitedly wag her tail in response.
However, Rin had reached his limit. Yuki, who loved her brother, naturally wouldn't provoke him further, and could only watch the pile of clothes on the side.
"Brother, what about these clothes..."
Rin impatiently waved his hand, "Take them all! As punishment for your defiance, wash them all three times. If I find you not washing them properly, I won't cook for you again at home!"
"Yes, brother, I will complete the task seriously!"
Yuki held back her happiness, put on a serious look, picked up a bunch of clothes, and walked out of the door with a very light and cheerful pace.
Of course, before leaving, she didn't forget to remind Rin to rest well.
When she left, Rin felt like a fish washed ashore, lying on the bed sideways... Then as the tide receded, he was stranded on the beach, motionless like a dead fish.
"That's too much, that's too much, just a kiss would have been enough, why go through all this unnecessary trouble, now I feel so uncomfortable, almost got caught in an embarrassing situation by that silly dog."
Being called Foolish sister and a fake Sword Saint, then a idiot fool, and finally a stupid dog, the names kept getting worse, showing Rin's current mood.
Turning around, Rin couldn't help but touch his neck, feeling like it had been bitten by insects. His chest heaved a few times, then he stood up, walked slowly to the mirror, and looked at the connected red marks.
Hmm, these marks are very similar to the ones that appeared mysteriously after getting drunk last time, almost identical, just this time there are several more.
So... could it be that the "strawberry" incident from last time...?
Rin dared not think further, just staring at his completely different face, touched his clothes, and jumped back into bed.
Curses, I will remember this grudge.
I'll make her pay sooner or later, hang her from a tree, give her a good punishment, teach her a lesson.
...
At that moment, Yuki quickly walked out of the door, her mind filled with thoughts of her brother, unable to think clearly about anything else.
This caused her to forget to throw Rin's dirty clothes into the space ring. She kept holding them in her hands and bumped into a naughty cat who kept trying to sneak in for a night snack. The clothes scattered all over the floor.
Emilia sat down on the ground and was about to say something with her head tilted, but then she saw Yuki in a trance-like state. Yuki apologized quickly, picked up her clothes in a hurry, and left.
Waste Hero stood up slowly and suddenly noticed a piece of clothing left on the ground. She picked it up and gazed at the pair of four-cornered pants, lost in thought.
