That's What Best Sisters Are Like!

"They drank too much. The commotion on deck was caused by two people who were drunk."

Liu Bai began to explain, then glanced at Kitsune Saiguu with a playful expression.

Come on, you big fox La Signora takes care of your sisters, keep jumping!

Kitsune Saiguu pretended not to notice Liu Bai's gaze.

—What a joke!

Although Acheron seems indifferent to everything, perhaps this statement is his Achilles' heel?

Dragons have their own scales... Don't touch them if you don't know which one they are!

"Oh."

Acheron's expression remained unchanged, clearly showing that he was genuinely uninterested.

"I think Pellervy seems a little seasick. If you have nothing else to do, sir, you should go and check on her."

"Is she a little seasick... I see."

It's a bit surprising, but she's still a young girl, so it's understandable.

She's not a mature woman in the Main Quest storyline.

This trip with her "father" may be the first time she has ever traveled far from home.

Acheron finished explaining and left.

"Then I'll go see her. Kitsune Saiguu, I'll leave Eden to you."

Liu Bai found a bowl, poured two bowls of soup, gave some instructions to Kitsune Saiguu, and then picked up the soup pot and prepared to leave.

"Yes, yes, yes, my daughter is the most important." Kitsune Saiguu looked disappointed, but didn't stop them. "Come on, our drunken archangel, bring the fish soup—"

Kitsune Saiguu's hand hovered in mid-air.

Unbeknownst to her, Eden's golden eyes were now fixed on her with a vicious smile.

"Good day, Father."

Pellervy, lying on the bed, glanced at the person who came and gave a listless greeting.

This aristocratic greeting just sounds so unfamiliar.

Fortunately, Liu Bai didn't take it to heart.

It's not a wise thing to do to confront someone who's arrogant and aloof.

"Sorry, I didn't notice you were feeling unwell."

Liu Bai put the fish soup in the pan and took out the medicine from his clothes.

"I've taken some medicine from the pot, take a little."

"...Um."

Pellervy seemed to have lost even the will to argue with him.

While Liu Bai was looking for a bowl, Pellervy remained silent for a moment before speaking again, "... This has nothing to do with you. It was my first time at sea, and I never expected it to turn out like this."

Pellervy held her forehead, enduring the dizziness and discomfort.

... I'm just dragging everyone down like this.

... I have a slight sense of self-loathing.

"... I'm sorry to have worried you."

Is this the kind of dialogue between a 'daughter' and a 'father'?

Liu Bai even had the leisure to make a joke.

Pellervy silent.

"I think I'm still someone you can rely on, right?"

Liu Bai successfully found the bowl in the same location.

"Think about it carefully, Pellervy, this is your first time traveling so far, isn't it? Will you buy a train ticket? Will you buy a plane ticket? Will you book a hotel?"

"... I'm not a three-year-old child."

"I'm not trying to be sarcastic. What I mean is, it's not embarrassing to rely on someone a little."

"Your tone is so haughty... No, it's nothing."

Pellervy glanced at Liu Bai pouring the soup and rubbed her aching temples.

This guy... really, his behavior is reliable, but his words are completely untrustworthy.

"... I really can't understand why you are so calm."

"Slow down? No, it's more like realizing that some actions are meaningless."

Liu Bai answered while busy with his work.

"For example... one of the classic scenarios is that some children feel embarrassed about someone being 'kind' to them, so they deliberately act harshly towards them... well, generally speaking, I recommend connecting this kind of plot to a lifelong regret."

"..."

"But even among adults, it's the same when it comes to children. They don't dare to say these things because of certain factors and then regret it for the rest of their lives... It's a plot we're all tired of seeing."

Liu Bai sighed.

"Ah, in the end, there are many reasons why things are difficult to put into action, such as stance, interests, and morality, but giving up just because of a tiff-like reason like 'feeling shy' or 'feeling that you will be laughed at by the people around you' is not worthy of sympathy even if it means missing an opportunity."

"... Doesn't she deserve sympathy?"

Pellervy looked at the blanket, her head feeling a little dizzy.

"For example... certain relationships without blood ties?"

Chapter 366 This is what true sisters are like!

"..." Bai paused.

"Hmm... so should I say I'm shocked now?"

"... Did I just say something?"

"This tactic is outdated, well, but I can still understand it."

Liu Bai placed the bowl of soup in front of Pellervy.

"After all, I'm absolutely irresistible when it comes to charm, right?"

For Illusion Moon in his mind didn't criticize Liu Bai on this point—after all, a man who could win over the Nihility Emissary really had the right to say such a thing.

"... And also, you're not that much older than me, are you?"

Pellervy's weak eyes turned fierce.

How can there be an 18-year-old daughter and a 23 or 24-year-old father?

If Liu Bai were fifty-three or fifty-four years old, she would never have thought of anything inappropriate; she would absolutely treat him with the utmost respect as her own father.

Even if she did have some ideas in this situation, it would just be a matter of taking them to her grave if she acted rashly.

But now...

Is there a six-year age difference?

If you leave her at school, she can sweetly call Liu Bai" senior" without any problem!

Is she supposed to just endure it?

She may not have had any feelings for Liu Bai at first, but now she's been trying very hard to escape reality!

And now you're telling me there's no need to run away at all?!

... Well, Pellervy admits that she is not angry about this.

... There was nothing to be happy about.

—After all, I was seasick.

In some matters, they are willing but powerless.

... unless Liu Bai takes the initiative to help.

"Um... it's not that much bigger." Liu Bai readily admitted this, "But this issue of how I address you doesn't stem from any particular fetish of mine."

"But that's the particular hobby of the Herrscher of Dominion."

Pellervy snorted twice; she hadn't forgotten who had made the suggestion.

"If there were no Herrscher of Herrscher of Dominion..."

... Without a Herrscher of Dominion, I might be calling Liu Bai "Dean" right now?

No, it's even more likely that Liu Bai won't nominally take over the orphanage at all.

I might still be at the Northernmost Branch, and I'll be calling "La Signora" my mother.

... Should I thank that Herrscher of Dominion?

Pellervy's slow-moving brain came to a conclusion that made her somewhat angry.

"Forget it, let's not talk about her anymore."

After realizing that she might actually need to thank the Herrscher of Dominion, Pellervy immediately changed her tune and slowly took a sip of soup.

"... It's obviously not something you did."

After finishing her drink, Pellervy listlessly stared at the white soup in her bowl.

She still held onto some hope.

... Although rationally I knew that Liu Bai couldn't possibly react that quickly.

"It's true that I didn't make it, but my cooking skills aren't bad, are they?"

"You cooked this for Sister Makoto?" Pellervy had just lowered her head to take another sip, looked up at these words and said with a hint of sarcasm, "The cooking skills were taught by Sister Acheron."

"..."

The jealousy in those words was so strong that Liu Bai was completely speechless.

Fortunately, Pellervy wasn't saying that to make things difficult for Liu Bai.

"I want to drink yours next time."

Perhaps because of her recent instruction, Pellervy now surprisingly candid.

"Okay, I'll make it for you when we get to the island tonight."

"Go to the island..." Pellervy paused for a moment, too lazy to think about what kind of island it was, and slowly nodded.

"Tsk tsk tsk, Eden is still a bit short of rebelling against her older sister."

In Eden's room, Eden, who had just revealed his fangs, was pinned down on the bed by Kitsune Saiguu.

Well, although the female leopard is fierce, it can't withstand the fact that Kitsune Saiguu is a thousand-year-old fox.

"Little Eden, you're being naughty too, using such a shameless method to seduce your husband~"

Kitsune Saiguu admitted that he was initially startled by the sudden opening of his eyes, but then he thought about it—

I didn't care about my reputation when Liu Bai was around, but now that you've opened your eyes, I have to care about my reputation.

What a load of rubbish!

I can't ride on the head of the Acheron, but riding on the head of your Eden is a piece of cake.

It's only now that you've opened your eyes. If you had opened your eyes when Liu Bai was here, I would have slapped you unconscious and then done all sorts of things to you.

"Let me go!"

Eden struggled, but Kitsune Saiguu remained as steady as a rock—though from a certain perspective, this statement is not wrong.

"Come on, call me 'big sister,' and Yinpa will show you how to have fun."
