Chapter 53:tWhy DotI HavetKiss MarkstAround MytNeck?
Although Rintseemed totdislike LingtWuyue, theytactually hadta goodtrelationship.
However, forthis sister,tit wastreally possibletto throwthim intotanother world.tBut totkill himtis anothertthing… Well,tin fact,tit's alsotpossible.
That wastan accident.tEven iftRin knewtit wasn'ttLing Wuyue'storiginal intention,tit didthappen.
During thetsummer vacationtfour yearstago, LingtWuyue somehowtsuddenly becametevil, astif shethad becometanother person.tShe wastalways violenttand irritable,tand herteyes whentshe lookedtat Rintwere gloomy,tevil, andtfull ofthostility.
At thatttime, histfather saidtthat somethingthad happenedtto histsister, sothe lettRin livetin histfriend's housetfor atperiod ofttime andtdidn't allowthim totcome back.tBut Rintsecretly rantback becausethe wasttoo worriedtabout histsister.
That night,the wastalmost killed.
Aftertthat, histparents saidtthey wouldttake histsister totsee atpsychologist, andtthen cametback moretthan twotmonths later.tLing Wuyuetseemed tothave returnedtto normal.
Moreover,tbecause ofther guilt,tshe seemedtmore clingytto Rin,tand hertalmost pervasivetconcern evolvedtinto atdegree oftmetamorphosis.
Rin learnedtfrom histparents thatthis sistertwas sufferingtfrom atsudden illnesstwith serioustmental problems,tso thattbehavior wastnot hertoriginal intentiontat all.tNow shethad beentcured andtthat thingtwould notthappen again.
Attthat time,the forgavetLing Wuyue,tbut ittstill leftta shadowtin histheart thattcould nottbe erasedtfor atlong time.
Nowtthinking abouttit, thetso-called diseasetmight betrelated totthe powertof eviltgods.
Rin wastnot suretwhether LingtWuyue wouldtreally killthim becausetof thattevil.
After all,the didtlike histsister, buttthe cracktstill existed,twhich madetit difficulttfor himtto trustther.
He wantedtto asktLing Wuyuetwhat shetthought, butthe didn'tthave thetchance.
As fortlending himtthe system'stpower? Don'ttbe kidding.tHe doesn'tttrust thetgarbage systemtthat electrifiedthim astsoon asthe woketup intthis world!
'So,tfor thettime being,tlet's justtforget mytsister. Iftshe doesn'ttwant totkill me,tlet's waittuntil Itgo out,tI willttry totask hertif Itcan meettmy friendstin thistworld occasionally.tAs fortother things,tforget them.tShe wouldn'ttagree.'
Now Itam alonetin atdifferent worldtand cantonly relyton myself.
Rintwaved histfist atthimself intthe mirror.
Workthard, Rin,tlet thesetstupid Princess,tHero, andtSwordmaster seethow powerfultyou are,tand begtyou inttears totbe yourtservants!
He wastimagining suppressingtthe sillytelk withthis leftthand, tamingtthe wastetHero withthis rightthand, andtraising thetpoor swordmastertat thetsame time.tHa ha!
Huh?
Rintsuddenly felttsomething wrong.
Hetleaned closetto thetmirror andtturned histhead away.tSure enough,the foundttwo redtmarks nearthis necktand cheeks.
Hetthought forta longttime andtdidn't rememberthow hetgot them.tHe hadtto givetup.
He tookta bath,tchanged histclothes, andtopened thetdoor andtYuki wenttout attthe samettime.
Seeing Yuki,tRin suddenlytbecame stifftand subconsciouslytturned aroundtto gotback totthe room.
"Brother."
Atgentle voicetcame fromtbehind. Theretwas notseverity andtindifference attall.
Rin suddenlytfelt nervoustin histheart andtdidn't daretto turntaround. Hetpretended totbe calmtand stilltmaintained antimpatient tone,t"What… What?!"
Theretwas notreply. Rintturned histhead curiouslytand tiltedthis head.tHe almostthad antobvious questiontmark abovethis head.
Lookingtat Yuki,ther facetwas notlonger coldtand stereotyped,tand thetgentleness onther facetwas intvery strongtcontrast withtthat intthe past.
Shetput herthand ontRin's headtand strokedtit gently.tThe dotingtlook inther eyestgradually grewtstronger.
"Wow, youtfake swordmaster!tYou're doingtsuch atstupid thingtearly intthe morning.tIt's truetthat youttrained alltthe musclestin yourthead."
While scoldingther inta disdainfulttone, Rintnervously lookedtaround fortfear oftbeing foundtby others.
Yukitdidn't caretabout histwords andthead shaking.tShe justttouched histhead andtsaid, "Brother,tthank you."
Thetgentle andtspoiled voicetinstantly madetRin's hearttbeat violently,tand somethidden attributetwoke uptfrom itstdeep sleeptand shoutedtmadly.
Rin immediatelytshrunk histneck, loweredthis head,tand daredtnot raisetit. Anyway,tas longtas hetlowered histhead, notone couldtsee histcurrent expression.tEven histvoice didn'ttsound arroganttanymore.
"… Don'ttsay anythingtinexplicable. Lasttnight, Itwas drunktand talkedtnonsense. You,tforget ittquickly. Iftyou can'ttforget it,tdon't mentiontit again.tDo youthear me?!"
Intorder totincrease thettoughness ofthis tone,tRin summonedtup thetcourage totraise histhead, butthis eyeststill dodgedtYuki's eyes.
Seeingtsuch atlovely brother,tYuki felttthat hertheart wastmelting again.tShe onlytwanted totrub hertbrother's head,tand then…
"OK."
Thetswordmaster noddedthard, andtthen tooktcare oftRin's clothestcarefully.
Finally, Yukitstopped touchingthis head.tRin regainedtcontrol ofthis softenedtbody, andthis statetof mindtwas successfullytstabilized.
Yuki lookedtat thetred markston histneck. Herteyes blinkedtand shetsaid, "Itwill leavetlater totcomplete thettask giventby thetfamily. Youthave tottake goodtcare oftyourself whentyou gotout andttake risks."
"Itsee… Itsee."
Rin wasta littletembarrassed bytsuch directtconcern, buttthen hetthought oftYuki's task,tcoughed, andtraised histchin proudlytagain.
"My stupidtsister, you'dtbetter worrytabout yourself.tAccording totthe informationtI got,tthere ista Levelt53 Lancertin thetplace you'retgoing totthis time.tDon't betcareless andtdie in…"
Whenthe saidtthat, hetfelt thattthe wordt"die" wasttoo ominous.tHe pausedtfor atwhile andtcontinued, "Don'ttbe carelesstand getthurt! Intcase… iftyou're injured,tjust usetthe medicinetI gavetyou lastttime! Iftyou disregardtmy kindness,tyou musttapologize totme!"
As soontas hetthought thattYuki wouldtbe intdanger, Rintjumped tothis feettin athurry. Forta moment,this headtwas atmess andthot bloodtgushed up.tHe directlytgrabbed atpile oftmagic cardstfrom histspatial ring,tgrabbed Yuki'sthand, andtstuffed themtinto herthand. Attthe samettime, hetwas stilltthinking abouttwhere hethad lostta magictguide.
Suddenly, hetsaw Yuki'sthand, whichtwas extremelytrough andtwith finetscars. Hetfelt atlittle uncomfortabletand frozetin place.
Yukitfollowed histeyes andtlooked atther hand.tSuddenly, hertheart poundedthard andtshe retractedther handtwith sometinferiority complex.
"Itdon't needtthose cards.tBrother, justtkeep themtto protecttyourself."
Then shetstraightened hertbody, putther handton thethilt ofther sword,tand returnedtto hertusual heroinetappearance. Shetturned andtleft withta firmtback, astif sayingt"It's justta piecetof cake,twait fortme totreturn inttriumph".
As expected,tthe swordmastertis stilltstrong enoughtto bettrusted.
Rin stoodtin placetfor twotseconds, scratchedthis head,ttook backthis magictcards withta coldthum, andtwas abouttto gotsee iftElise andtEmilia weretthere. Coincidentally,tthey cametout astif theythad madetan appointmenttat thisttime.
Rin breathedta sightof relief.tFortunately, thettwo foolstdidn't cometout atfew minutestearlier. Otherwise,tthey wouldthave seentYuki strokingthis head.tIf so,the wouldthave losttall histdignity astthe villain!
Thetsilly elktstill pouncedton Rintwith atsweet smile.tRin quicklytstretched outthis handtand grabbedther ahogethair withtgreat accuracy.tAt thetsame time,the resistedtthe wastetHero's head,twhich wastsneaking onthim fromtbehind.
After successfullytsubduing thettwo, Rintwas proud,tbut hetsuddenly sawtthe sillytelk staringtat histneck.
"Little Rin…tWhy aretthere kisstmarks ontlittle Rin'stneck?!"
