Chapter 13: Looming Shadows
What is this book? This can’t be the real story of the Hero, can it? This is just Mira propaganda! Such was my reaction when I finished the picture book Marina gave to me. Sure, it was just a book for kids, but the portrayal imbalance between the two heroines was so obvious that I couldn’t help but laugh at …
Chapter 12: At The End of Our Beautiful Summer
Marina Aah, to think that my summer break is almost over… I’m going to miss Hugo again for sure… I was now walking up to the hills where I usually trained his magic in. It was the last day before I had to return so I fully intended to make it a worthwhile session. Whoosh… “Ah…” I quickly put my …
Chapter 11: Meet The Fairy!
Sherry “Uuuhhh…” My eyes fluttered open. A familiar-looking white ceiling was above me. I was in my new bedroom. It seemed I had fallen asleep before I realized it. Suddenly, I felt it—a tickling sensation right on my most sensitive place. “A-ahn!” I couldn’t help it. A moan just came out from my mouth on its own. It was just …
Chapter 10: Sherry Goes On The Offense!
Sherry Urgh, stupid Hugo! Why must he be so whiny? Too hard, he says! Well, if you’re going to scrub something, you have to press the rug hard onto it! Tch, he should just shut up and let me do it! It’ll end faster that way! Grr, why am I doing this anyways? To be washing a boy’s back like …
Chapter 9: Our New Daily Life Pt. 2
When we returned, Sherry was still busy doing her sword training with Father. “Hyah! Hyah! Hyaaaah!” Kaboom! The dog-sized rock that was standing in front of her was split into two. And she didn’t even need to actually connect her sword to the rock. She did it by just swinging it in a powerful downward slice from a distance. Suddenly, …
Chapter 8: Our New Daily Life
Sherry What happened for the next few hours went by like a dream. One hour, I was an unloved orphan, worked to the bone by an old lady that never cared about me in the slightest. But the next, I was walking home with Hugo’s family. Yes, home. My new home. “From today onwards, you will be part of our …
Chapter 7: Alone No More
“And that’s why I’d like Father and Mother to take her in.” There. I finished my explanation. At this point, both Father and Mother had called down–both sitting back on their chairs upright. They were exchanging glances with each other. Like a good couple, they could communicate just by that. “So, let me get this straight, you want us to …
Chapter 6: Woes of The Demon Child
When we arrived at Old Woman Farla’s farm, we were immediately greeted by the sight of Sherry working hard on the fields. It seemed she was busy watering the crops, as she was carrying a large steel watering pail with her. And by large, I meant “half her height” kind of large. And yet, she could carry it with no …
Chapter 5: A Heart-to-Heart Talk Between Siblings
After dinner, I immediately returned back to my room to catch a good night sleep. I was still a six year old boy after all, so I still needed to sleep a lot, especially if I was going to grow tall like I certainly wanted. Yeah, being a short guy looked to be quite the depressing existence to me. The …
