Chapter 8

About two older sisters 008.

Actually, there is no such thing as an intrusion. Because the door wasn’t locked.

However, maids and butlers usually do not enter the room at this time unless they have business. That’s how he was educated, Eud told Joan.

If not a maid, who is it?

It’s not even Gareth or Alberto in terms of the energy of the presence.

At that moment, Eud-

Memories from Dreamland flashed through Wood.

([“Today’s arena is the ‘survival’ of the new Dreamland slaves!!”])

(“““——!!”””)

The gaze I felt recently. And the memory of when he was just dragged to Dreamland.

When he recalls them, he raises his senses and grasps the location of the intruder.

There is no grace. As soon as the grasp is finished, the action begins immediately.

He quickly grabbed the pen on the desk and jumped in.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!

“Ahhhhhhh!?”

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!

It didn’t take a few seconds to subdue the opponent.

Wood jumped in like a wild beast at once, and threw himself at the person who made the mark.

He brought the tip of the pen near the tip of the opponent’s neck.

I breathed heavily with vigilance and excitement.

Wood looked at the invading beings in his own space with a gleam of eyes.

“…….uh?”

“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah, what are you doing, you!!”

The person Wood had been sitting on hurriedly pushed Wood away.

Suddenly, the magic stone lamp in the room turns on. The shadows of Wood and his visitors were removed.

“What?! It really hurts! That’s right, I’ve been quiet for a while, but I’ve finally revealed my true nature!”

“Why, why, Tiana-sama……?”

Wood’s crush is Tiana Allite Phoenix.

Two weeks ago, it was a girl who became Wood’s little sister.

“I’m going to get to my dad!”

Wood then understood what he had done.

He couldn’t help but look up at the girl with the platinum-colored short hair.

When you’re in Dreamland, if someone enters your room during sleep time, it’s like a danger alert.

That means ‘I’m in a situation where I’m sure I’m going to die’.

Slaves who go out mainly for things like ‘survival’ are taken out first in the morning. It is said to be to inform the monsters of their smell.

It was intended to make the smell of slaves recognized as prey, and then to excite the monster intensely.

And in the nearly two years of Dreamland, none of the slaves taken out during the dawn have returned.

Except for Wood and ‘Some Girl’.

Memories of being alive and going back and forth on the tightrope of death.

Painful memories even though they survived.

It is still embedded in the depths of Wood.

It’s the same even though Wood’s power grew out of the norm in order to live alone.

I have been on a tightrope several times, so I still feel fear.

“I’m sorry…….”

But it is no longer Dreamland.

This is Phoenix’s mansion.

At least the current self is not Udeu Galea, but ‘Eud Hollight Phonics’.

With relief, Eud bowed and apologized to Tiana.

“What, what…”

She quickly bowed her head and saw her ‘brother’ who had become depressed, and Tiana stopped being angry.

“It hurts… you are really strong.”

“…….Sorry.”

“Maybe more than her sister.”

“…….Sorry.”

“Oh, okay! I won’t be angry anymore, so please stop apologizing!”

While saying that, Tiana got angry again, and Eud added another word, “I’m sorry…”.



A cute palm slammed against Eud’s head.

When the situation calmed down, the two were squatting on the floor of the room, facing each other.

For Tiana, it had to be really difficult.

She had just jumped at me in a terrifying way.

When the light came on, she was very startled, but this time she kept her head bowed.

Since Tiana was already 8 years old, she has been taught socializing and socializing in the Four Enix family.

She’s also ‘to see’ from her mother, Lorona, and she’s also learning a little bit.

So Tiana knew that Eud’s actions were not acting.

She was so gloomy that it felt like Tiana was at fault for her role.

No, she was clearly sleeping, but Tiana was the first to go wrong when she sneaked into her room.

For the past two weeks, Tiana has been keeping an eye on Eud.

Maybe it’s because she made a fuss on the first day. Joan has not taken classes with Eud since then.

At first, I thought it was fine.

After that, I realized that I had lost the opportunity to monitor the ‘boy from Dreamland’ in reverse.

I was outraged and missed something important.

She doesn’t know when she’ll reveal her true nature, but she won’t be able to watch it.

The only time we met was dinner with her family.

However, there’s no way you’ll be able to monitor it with only a little meal break. She was even scolded if she stared at Wood while eating.

However, it was a bit too late to ask me to take a class again.

It’s a strict rule. I’m sure they’ll ask for a proper explanation as to why they suddenly changed their words.

Besides, if you stare again, your cheeks will be pulled.

…… Tiana didn’t want her to be honest with her. She gets scolded a lot, but she doesn’t mean she wants to be scolded.

Eventually she went after Tiana to follow Wood and spy on her whenever she had time.

She even put off her favorite alchemy experiment for a while.

Along the way, she also asked her sister Selena for her cooperation, but-

(“…….pass.”)

Her own older sister, but that she really didn’t help, Tiana had yelled at Selena without hiding her.

Of course, Selena doesn’t respond at all. She’s just that she’s eating a cookie or a crunchy bite.

When she wields a sword, she is a very reliable older sister.

It’s just that she likes to eat when she’s in bed like this.

(“It’s frustrating! My sister’s frustration is frustrating!”)

(Pumpkin!)

(“Heyak!!”)

If you make fun of such a subject, she reacts right away.

Tiana was hit in the head with her wooden sword in her Selena’s room. She was so fast she didn’t even know she was holding her wooden sword.

She then added that Selena said, “I’ll think about it if it has anything to do with the sword,” she says, but she only replies that Tiana says, “Hey!”.

Besides, in the case of her dad, Gareth,

(“Uh-huh, I’m fine.”)

. . . she said.

After all, she’s the dad to the older sister. It’s roughly the same.

In fact, Tiana has a bit of an ungrateful feeling about her own dad. It’s not that she doesn’t respect her, but I have to say that she still looks easy to deceive.

Maybe Gareth will laugh and cry when he hears it.

Anyway, the most important thing is when Alberto and Joan aren’t together.

She had no doubt that Tiana would then reveal her true nature if she went away.

Then she passed two weeks.

Nothing happened.

‘what. I don’t think he has any bad thoughts… No, you can’t be deceived yet!’

Of course, it is true that this should be looked at over a long period of time.

It’s too early to judge with only two weeks.

But… Surprisingly, Eud’s 2 weeks evaluation wasn’t bad.

That strict mother didn’t say anything.

The maids who come to the mansion for training are more fearful than Joan, because it is Tiana and Selena’s mother.

It has a good reputation, especially among users.

She approached the maids out of fear and asked if there was anything suspicious—

(“Ummm- probably not. I’ve seen it since day one, but I’m not the type of person to make up for bad things.”)

(“Do your homework hard.”)

(“Even when I was washing, I was very calm.”)

(“Were there surprisingly a lot of small muscles?”)

(“Whoops, it tasted good to the touch.”)

(“!?!?”)

…….I heard sexual harassment along the way, but the overall evaluation was good anyway.

Even after receiving the name of ‘Phoenix’, there are times when I help the maids.

I’ve seen Tiana a few times.

Still, don’t believe only what you see.

‘Don’t be fooled by appearances’ – This is a maxim that should be engraved in the heart of those who practice alchemy.

Because it is alchemy, there are cases of cheating and changing only the outside like plating, so it means to hold off your judgment until you see the inside.

But the more I looked at him, the more he looked like a piece of ironwork without even gilding.

It’s so clunky that I even want to plated it.

“Damn, were you surprised…?”

Although Tiana often tinks, she is a good child in the end.

Tiana wondered if it was her fault as she thought about it too, she asked Ewood a peek.

She’s the one she’s sleeping on herself, and when someone comes, she’ll be surprised.

“While you are sleeping… it is dangerous if someone approaches you. …Yes, I’m here.”

“Dangerous?”

However, to Tiana, Eud’s answer sounded more ‘alarmed’ than ‘surprised’.

“In Dreamland, if you are dragged at night, bad things happen.”

“What’s wrong with me?”

“I can’t come back. In any case.”

It must have been natural to know what the phrase “not coming back” meant.

It is only then that Tiana understands that she has committed something she is very sorry for.

She unintentionally frightened her away.



In fact, Tiana doesn’t know much about Dreamland.

She still knows how it works.

A place full of really scary, scary monsters.

Really, this boy can be one of those scary people too.

Nevertheless, it is true that this boy is still afraid of something.

“…….Sorry.”

With her hand that she had slapped on her earlier, Tiana stroked her sister’s head.

Eud accepted without resistance the stroke he had been receiving in a long time.

When he finally calms down, Eud asks a question that comes to mind.

“But what happened to Tiana-sama?”

“uh?! Ah……..”

Tiana’s trembling hand stopped.

Her lips are waving, expressing her annoyance. Is she worrying over and over again?(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Finally, with a sigh, he answered Eud’s question.

“Man, please come in early every day. …because of what you are decorating.”

Eud felt like he knew who the owner of the gaze he had felt there.

just don’t say shit

Tiana had already apologized several times, so she didn’t want Eud to push further.

“I’m not decorating, Tiana.”

“……huh.”

Eud raised his head and spoke with a bitter smile, and Tiana swung his head away.

“And there was no reason to go in quickly.”

“Then, what are you doing every day?”

“I have a lot of homework.”

“homework? Joan gives you?”

“Yeah.”

Eud got up and brought Joan’s homework from a few hours ago.

“What is this, why are there so many- …but why is it so easy?”

“Shh, is it easy?”

The part that Eud is working on seems to be at a fairly low level for Tiana.

It was a problem that Eud had struggled to solve before.

Tiana, who was watching Eud’s homework, said, “Huh? Is this wrong?” he said.

……… Even though it took a long time, she was confident in her correct answer rate. It was quite a shocking report for Eud.

With Tiana’s help, he solved the problem again.

“Ugh……”

Tiana changes her novelty and dissatisfaction with each other.

“Isn’t it too boring to go to bed right after homework? Before coming here, did you have any hobbies?”

“No.”

“None?”

“There was nothing I could do.”

“Ugh.”

Tiana often showed her movements close to her writhing in her sorrow that had continued from earlier in the day. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

No matter how absurd the story is, considering the boy’s origins, everything makes sense.

“She did her homework for two weeks and then repeated her sleep again. If it were me, I would have run away already. Okay, from now on, I’m looking for a hobby! She studies, does her homework, does her homework, and goes to sleep, so it’s too early for that desolate!”

Overwhelmed by the momentum, Eud unconsciously nodded her head to Tiana a couple of times.

Then he remembers what he had seen two weeks ago.

“So, Tiana-sama, is your hobby alchemy?”

At that moment, her Tiana’s eyes widened.

“Tiana?”

“… huh huh huh.”

meaningful laughter. Then her eyes twinkle and she brings them closer to Ewood.

It was a similar behavior to Gareth. For a moment, Eud thought, ‘You’re really my daughter’.

“That’s a very good question. Are you awake now?!”

Tiana grabbed Ewood’s hand and rose from her seat.
