A little brother?!

"Humph."

Finally, I was done sorting his things. It is convenient in this world. Without magic maybe we could finish arranging his things tomorrow.

"Were done! Now put these things in your space." I then gestured to him.

"Master, don't you have any storage room in here?"

"Why would you need a storage room if you have space?"

"No. I will give these things to you." He innocently answered.

"I will not accept these because they are your collection."

"I thought that I already told master that I collected these things for you." He retorted.

"But these are so priceless!" I exclaimed.

"Yes! That's why I am giving these to you. It can help you when you start building your guild."

I was so surprised by his explanation. He was thinking far ahead of my future. I feel grateful for his gesture.

"But-" Before I even finish my sentence, Shemer interrupted me.

"No buts. Plus, we have already formed a bond. So my things are your things." He then shoved the books in my hand.

I started tearing up. I feel so blessed that I met him.

"M-master! Why are you crying? Did I do something wrong?"

"No. I was just glad that we met each other. Now I will acknowledge you as my little brother and not as a servant."

I shoved my fingers to his mouth before he could start to argue.

"Pssht. No more discussion. I have already decided."

"B-but-"

"Mmmh, mmh,mmh. I don't wanna hear regarding this." I vigorously shook my head.

"Master, can you let me speak. I was not trying to argue with your decision."

"Oh! So what do you want to say?"

"I think you messed up the order. I'm not a little brother but a big brother."

I immediately retorted, "No. If I say you're a little brother, you're a little brother. I thought you will follow all my commands. With this decision, I will use my authority as a master."

"But I thought you will not force me." He whispered gently.

"What did you say? I did not hear you?"

"Master, may I remind you that you have to use your authority to important commands."

"Your way too serious, Shemer. Plus, it is an important command that you became my little brother." I could see his cheeks blush.

"What did the two of you do? You look tired." I heard my mother's voice as soon as she entered the room.

"Mom."

I immediately run to her.

"Good morning, mother of my master." Shemer bowed.

Wow.

He called my mother differently.

Maybe it's my mother's aura.

"Good morning to you, sire." Mother then bowed to him in return.

"As you are my master's mother, I permit you to call me by my given name."

"What's with you? Why do you not permit the others then?" I shockingly ask.

"Nothing. I just don't like their guts. Master's mother has a gentle aura around her. That's why I feel comfortable with her."

"No, it's not their guts. You just have the same arrogance as them. That's why you don't like them. Heh!"

This guy just doesn't like to meet persons with the same personality as him. Does he think that he could fool me with his reason? Hahaha!

"I understand Shemer." Mother smiled at him.

"Mom, I acknowledge him as a little brother. You have to punish him when he makes a mistake." I proudly said.

My mom's eyes widen from the words I declared.

"Is that true, Shemer?" Mother turned to him and ask.

"Yes."

"Ok. As you permit me to call you your given name and Evangeline acknowledges you as a brother, from now on you can also call me mother."

Wow!

My mother has a different mindset. Hahaha!

"Are you sure? Will it be too awkward?" Shemer shyly said. I could see his ears turned red.

"There is no awkwardness in the family. And may I ask why is he a little brother Evangeline? He's way older than you and your brothers."

Busted!

Mother likes to do things according to her will.

"I want him to be a little brother, mom." I pouted.

"Do you want to be her little brother, Shemer? And don't look at him like that Evangeline."

I look at him, urging him to agree with me.

"It was my master's wish and I cannot disobey her." He said slowly while looking in my direction.

"No. I will not allow it. You will be their elder brother from now on." Mother firmly declared.

"Mom!"

"I don't want any more discussions, Evangeline. You have to respect his age." Mother said without any hint of mocking through her voice.

As soon as I heard my mother's explanation, I laugh out loud.

"Hahaha! So you mean his old mother?" I looked at Shemer's stunned expression.

"I am willing to be his little brother, Master's mother." He urgently said.

"Mother, you have to call me mother from now on Shemer. As a form of respect to your age and experiences, you have to be an elder brother to them."

Mom, I think Shemer will faint if you continue to rub his age. Hahaha! I remember he said that he's still a kid.

"I understand, m-m-mother."

"I will also inform your father and brothers. Baby, what would you ask mother regarding your brother's gathering?"

"Mom, can I ask permission if I could attend to brother's gathering later?"

"But you're still recovering."

"I feel fine now. Brother and I planned it yesterday before I fainted. Plus, big brother Duayne has something to give me. I also want to meet my brother's friends. We can let doctor Gale check my condition. Please, mom."

I clasp my hands and do an aegyo in front of mother. It is very effective if I use this. You could say that it's my ultimate weapon.

"Ok, I approve. But we still need to call doctor Gale to see your condition. And Shemer, I want you to be with her later."

"Thanks, mom." I then kissed her cheeks.

"Understood, mother," Shemer replied.

"I have no defense for your cute face baby."

Mother hug and kissed my cheeks.

"Hehehe!" I giggled.
