A family dinner (2)
The room was silent; the food was still, eyes were wide open and now, the only thing aside from the sound of my little sister Zoe's eating was Anna's giggles.
"Hehehe... why is everyone so surprised~? Big sister's name is de~finitely beautiful. Anna likes it too~!"
Anna's voice was like a start button that restarted all the processes in this room.
The open mouths closed, and the eyes returned to normal. They started eating, and Rein and I couldn't help but laugh internally with sweat visible on our heads.
Thanks to Anna, we dodged a bullet that might have started a wildfire of questions and maybe celebrations of joy.
And twelve was the legal age of engagement in this world, so... there was no saying what might happen to us little kids who had yet to see the world.
That aside, Rein just wanted to joke a little, and that was with Alf and Carla, who had no idea of what we adults were talking about.
