A Promise of Sisterly Love
"Big brother, I'm hungry..." she whispered, her voice still trembling slightly.
Rose was well aware that she hadn't been kind to Rio in the past. She had even gone so far as to wish that he would be killed by a beast and captured by the Asuras, becoming trapped in the Asura's cage himself.
However, as she looked into his eyes, Rose couldn't help but feel a sense of embarrassment and guilt for her past actions. She wanted to make amends, and so she decided to adopt a more affectionate attitude toward him, emulating the role of a caring little sister that he had wanted her to be during their first meeting.
Seeing the vulnerability in Rose's eyes, Rio felt a sense of amusement at her change in behavior.
He gave her a faint smile and reached into his spatial storage, pulling out some orange, round fruits that were typically found in the wilderness.
"Here, eat these," he said gently.
