Chapter 48 Let's Go Shopping
"Want to visit your sister Erwin?"
"What?"
"Your sister stays in that red-haired girl's place doesn't she?"
Oh, it's been almost 2 weeks since I live in the capital with uncle Alto, it's been a while eh, I really miss Ilya-nee, what is she doing right now? she must be close with Elis-nee now, I think I will buy her souvenirs from here.
"Let's visit big sis uncle, let's do it"
I'm so excited to see big sis, I sometimes worried about her, did she able to get along with Elis-nee or not, since they are in the same age they would likely getting along just fine, but as a brother, being concern about it sometimes is fine right?
I finish washing the dishes, thanks to Aura-chan, she's a big help for me, but it still feels awkward sometimes to be around her, her anxiety towards men it seems to still remain there, wait she says she got a little phobia didn't she? well, let's not think about that, at least I need to make her feel comfortable around me and uncle Alto, so she won't feel awkward around us.
"Hey Aura-chan, you may better come with us"
"Ah..no.. I will watch the house…"
"Ehh… don't be like that Aura-chan, let's visit my big sister together, she must very happy to see you, Ilya-nee is so kind after all"
I make a big smile on my face, I try to convince Aura-chan to come with us, I want to introduce her to Ilya-nee, she would so happy to see me having a new friend.
"Alright, tomorrow let's visit your sister, Erwin"
"Hooray…."
I'm so excited and ended up hitting my pinky toe to the dinner table.
"Urrghh…."
I immediately feel something is stunk my pinky toe, I think I might break my pinky toe.
"What are you so excited like that about? oh God, that must be hurt"
"A-are you fine Erwin-san?"
Aura-chan quickly run to help me, but it seems that she can't approach me, so I tell her I'm fine and massage my pinky toe a little to wash away the pain, but she still concerned if it will turn bad, what a good girl she is, and uncle Alto!! can you please help me out here, it's so hurt, at least be more concerned.
"Are you sure you are fine Erwin-san?"
"I'm fine Aura-chan, look"
I try to stand and walk around so Aura-chan won't stay concerned, well it's still a bit hurt, but, I will endure it if it's only a little, I experienced something worse than this before, so I can't just whining with just this little pain.
"Don't push yourself, Erwin, here, apply this cream around your pinky toe"
Uncle Alto hand me a weird liquid that has a green color, and it stinks, it stinks a lot, just what with this cream? why the smell is so weird like this, it way more stinks than a fish carcass.
I look at Aura-chan and she already steps back a bit further from me and turn her face, I can see her nervous expression and her body even shivering right now.
"You will get used to it, don't worry"
Well, uncle Alto wants to help me here, I guess I will just apply it to my pinky toe.
"Ughh.. it feels gross"
I close the lid and give it back to uncle Alto.
"So, want to go shopping and give those girls some souvenirs?"
I just nod my head as a yes, I think I'm gonna held back not to get too excited and kick the table with my pinky toe again, not gonna lie, the pain is really bad, I feel like I almost lost my soul.
"Alright, go get ready you two, we are going to the shopping district"
"Roger!"
I salute to uncle Alto and run to my room to change, I want to give Ilya-nee the best present I can give.
"Umm… am I joining this?"
"Of course Aura-chan, we will buy you cute clothes and stuff, case closed, no refusal accepted"
"Uncle…. let's get going"
"Wait, how did you change so fast Erwin? come on, don't be too excited like that"
Of course, I would be excited, uncle Alto just laughs looking at my manner, I guess I won't change eh, still like a little kid who always got excited to do something if it's related to my sister, now I just need to put on my socks and I'm ready to leave.
"Wait, Erwin, you will wipe the cream if you put on socks, wait for a second"
Uncle Alto went to a look for something, I almost forgot about the cream though, I'm getting too excited I guess, hahaha.
"Here, put on this, at least the cream will be patched here if you put it on"
Uncle Alto give me something that looked like a band-aid, I quickly put it on my pinky toe and wear my socks and shoes, now let's buy souvenirs for Ilya-nee.
