14 Chapter14: Night At The Moonlight Inn

[ Here, open your mouth. ]

[ bu-but, it will not fit. ]

[ just go eat it. ]

[ bu-but... ]

[ no "buts", you need to eat it so you can grow too. ]

[ Nmuu!?... yesh... ] I shoved it inside her mouth forcefully.

[ ... ] I somehow felt two eyes staring at me intently, I looked around and see whose eyes they were.

[ wha-what...!? ] It was Marinda-san and Victor-san.

[ don't you think the way you two are doing this somehow looks really perverted? ] Victor-san said while Marinda-san knit her eyes at me.

[ huh? but I'm just feeding Alice normally. ]

[ haah... nevermind, just don't feed her so forcefully like that. ]

[ hey, I did that because she was resisting so much. ] it was with under good intention.

[ resisting...? even the way you use your words only raises our suspicions. ]

[ suspicions of what? ] what are they talking about?

[ suspicions that you're a pervert. ]

...

[ huh!? pervert!? I'm not a pervert, especially when it comes to lolis, that's like my one rule! ] I never had sexual feelings for little girls, no matter how beautiful or attractive they were.

[ did you know that the more you deny something, the more it is true? ]

[ who would believe such nonsense! ] I looked at Marinda-san who's still looking at me with eyes that could kill a person.

just what did I do to receive this kind of treatment?

[ well, let's just leave this talk aside and discuss it another time, it's already late at night so I should take Bretta to her bed. ] Marinda-san said as she removes her deadly gaze from me.

[ that's true... I guess I'm gonna sleep now too... I wish you could have all stayed with me in the night. ] Victor-san muttered, in a very quiet voice again.

[ do you even sleep Victor-san? ]

[ of course, at day... I mean night... ] he already spurted it out, but he still denied it.

I am pretty sure that he's a Vampire, I mean... no matter how you look at it...

[ well, we already finish eating so I guess we're gonna go upstairs now too. ]

[ is that so...? ] Marinda-san knitted her brows again as she looked both Alice and me.

[ well... just avoid getting too noisy inside your room. ]

[ as I said, I won't do anything you guys are thinking inside your dirty minds! ] I know that Marinda-san is only messing with me but it makes me really uncomfortable.

[ haah... anyways, let's go Alice. ]

[ yes. ]

(XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX)

[ so this is our room, it's really comfortable and spacious, so there's plenty of space for both of us. ] I said as I looked around the room.

the light inside is a little dim because the room only uses lamps that are powered by some kind of magic, you can actually turn it on and off so it's really useful.

[ wow! It's really big onii-san, I can't believe I'm actually gonna live here too! ]

Uwaa... she's really enthusiastic, maybe because she never experienced living in such a comfortable room before.

[ okay, sit here. ] I carried her small body and made her sit on the bed.

[ I have something to ask you. ] just like before, I knelt in from of her again and said with a serious face.

[ I know that asking this is something that is rude but, I just want to be sure. ]

[ what is it, onii-san? ]

[ okay, when we first met just this afternoon, when you suddenly asked me to take care of you, I want to know your reasons why me, from someone you just met, I want you to tell me all the reasons why you did so. ]

Maybe it was because of the kindness I showed her, maybe she thought that she can live a comfortable life if she goes with me, maybe she thinks she can run away from being a thief if she does.

[ well... I know onii-san that I was being selfish, in fact, I'm still thinking that maybe I shouldn't have asked you to take care of me, what if I only become an inconvenient hindrance to you, what if I only cause you trouble, I also considered those possibilities when I asked you... but... I still couldn't help myself but do so, ] well, I know she beat me with pressure and pity, but I didn't know that she was also having this kind of thoughts running inside her head that time.

[ when I was a kid, I was always beaten up by my Grandmother, she never gave me food, I only provided my own, I endured because she was the only family I had left, but in the long time I was with her, I never felt the warmth you gave me with only an hour of meeting with you onii-san. ] warmth?

[ you see onii-san, I thought that maybe... you're better than family, compared to my parents, to my grandma, you're better than them all, that's why I wanted to live with you, if I endured living with my grandmother... then how could I possibly not endure even if you treat me like a slave onii-san? but even though I'm ready to be treated as a slave by you, I can't imagine being treated badly, only that my life will be comfortable when I live with you, that's what I thought. ] there she goes again with being a slave.

[ is that all? are you being honest? ]

[ U-un... that is all... ]

[ well, that is all I needed to hear. ] I said as I patted her head.

[ onii-san...? ]

[ aren't you feeling tired now? wanna go to sleep? ]

[ U-un. ] she nodded.

I'm now fully decided to take care care of her, I don't have any uneasy feelings anymore, I know now that she just really trust me... and no one ever had trusted me so much like her before, all her answers satisfied me, I didn't even expect that it was really so deep.

[ let's go, I'm pretty tired now too so I want to sleep already. ]

[ ye-yes! me too i-in the be-bed right? ]

[ of course. ] I smiled as I patted her head again.

I jumped into the bed and laid my body on it, I then pulled Alice from the wrist and let her lay her small body just beside mine.

[ let's sleep like this. ]

I hugged her small body and closed my eyes.

[ ye-ye-yes. ] Alice replied embarrassingly.

I feel really in love with Alice right now.

I'm lucky Police and the FBI doesn't exist in this world.

I then finally sleep while having such thoughts.
