108 Volume III - Chapter 29: The Choice of Virhen Family

"Bwother!"

I quickly turned toward the source of the sound, but unlike my turn, I started to run slowly toward the tree in the middle of the garden. While this was happening, a tiny figure passed by me as fast as it could and jumped into the tree I was running toward.

"I got here first! Me first!"

"Ah! You're pretty fast, huh, squirrel?"

I widened my smile, stopped being slow, and appeared next to him in an instant. My little brother puffed out his cheeks, his face suddenly pouting.

After saying goodbye to Aiden and Adrian, I left the academy and returned to my home, Virhen Manor. And now... it was up to me to take care of my little brother.

"I'm not a squirrel! I'm all grown up!"

I stroked his hair, messed it up, and laughed.

"Six years old is unfortunately old enough for you to be a squirrel."

"But I'm faster than you!"

I smiled again, then in one swift movement I grabbed my brother by the armpits and threw him into the air.
