29 – Make friends

“… … both mothers. Aren’t you there?”

Inside the rattling wagon.

The dissimilar siblings stared at Siriel and opened their mouths.

“Yes.” “Right!”

Shiron answered first, followed by Lucia.

The two people, who did not look alike at all, were not only different in appearance, but even their facial expressions were different. The bored expression and the excited face seemed to show the difference in personality between the two.

“I-I…” … .”

Siriel pursed her lips and stuttered.

She didn’t know why the friends in front of her were giving her cold looks.

Siriel was about to say something but stopped.

I wanted to continue the conversation, but my mind was blank and I couldn’t think of anything to say. I was heartbroken because my body couldn’t move as I expected.

To begin with, Siriel is an ordinary nine-year-old child.

He was slow to figure out where his words offended them. Nevertheless, Siriel could vaguely sense that something was causing it.

“eww… … .”

Siriel, who had always lived with adults who were older and more experienced than her, had no tolerance for the unkind looks from children her own age.

The eyes of the two people staring intently at Siriel without saying a word was a very unfamiliar sight to Siriel, who grew up receiving love among adults.

The place, situation, friends, all of those elements were unfamiliar and unfamiliar, making Siriel sluggish.

“… … .”

Siriel pursed her lips and lowered her gaze.

As Siriel, with her head down, said nothing, the carriage was filled with rattling sounds.

Siriel finally realized that she had done a great disservice to them.

From noble mtl dot com

I feel sorry for my friends, I don’t have the courage to face them properly,

But Siriel could not escape. The carriage, a closed space with all sides blocked, drove the girl into a corner.

There wasn’t much a 9-year-old child could do in this situation. Cry. Stay still. Or be shameless.

Siriel was the first of them.

The girl smoothed her sunken breasts with her hands.

“… … Hi.”

Tears fell down the back of my cute hand.

“S-sorry… I’m sorry.”

The girl, who was only nine years old, lowered her head and said she was sorry over and over again.

“Sorry. “Really, hi… I’m sorry.”

“ah…?”

Siriel was not the only one left speechless. Lucia, who was watching Siriel squealing like a child, was taken aback as the situation took an unexpected turn.

She was nervous that Siron would be hurt, but now Siriel burst into tears.

Lucia waved her hands around, trying to calm Siriel down.

“Ooh, don’t cry!”

“I’m sorry, sorry.”

However, she did not know how to comfort a child. All she knows how to do is tell herself not to cry.

Even if I pat Siriel on the back, I see it. She tried stroking the top of her head, but despite her efforts, Siriel’s tears did not stop. Siriel cried and repeated that she was sorry.

‘What do we do?’

Lucia thought that the situation had become more serious because of her remarks.

The fact that he, as an adult, did not mediate the children’s argument, nor could he stop Siriel from running wild without permission, and instead made him cry, only increased his confusion.

‘Why, why are you crying?’

Lucia had no way of knowing why Siriel was crying so sadly. Even though it was Siriel who said something rude, I couldn’t understand why she was crying.

That was the moment when Lucia stamped her feet in embarrassment.

“Hey, get out of the way.”

Siron said, waving his bandaged hand at Lucia, who was fidgeting. Lucia took her gaze away from Siriel.

“… … huh?”

“Get out of there, because there’s something I want to try.”

“uh? Ah, yes…”

Lucia looked at Chiron in front of her and moved away.

When a seat was opened next to Lucia, Chiron sat down between Lucia and Siriel.

‘… … Are you going to comfort Siriel?’

Lucia, who had pushed Siriel forward, couldn’t come up with the right words to comfort her, so she decided to calmly watch the situation.

Chiron wrapped her arms around Siriel’s shoulder and pulled her towards her body. That’s how Siriel leaned on Shiron’s arms. Lucia’s eyes widened as she acted skillfully.

‘Something is strange.’

Even though they were only two years older, Shiron was still an older brother. Lucia began to anticipate what Chiron would say to comfort Siriel.

“Ciriel Prien.”

Siron made eye contact with Siriel, who lowered her head, and began to speak softly.

Siriel, who heard the voice ringing at her bedside, looked up at Siron while wiping away her tears.

“Sniff… Yes…”

“… … .”

“Why are you crying because you did a good job? “Aren’t I the one who should cry?”

however. What came out of Siron’s mouth was not comfort.

“I-I’m sorry… Hi.”

“What are you sorry for?”

‘Crazy guy…!’

Lucia was startled and woke up in the shaking carriage. I looked at the two with a devastated expression. However, Siron did not give Lucia a single glance, and only smiled a friendly smile.

“I, I, I talked about my brother and Lucia’s situation without knowing… without knowing.”

“what? “I can’t hear you clearly because it’s drowned out by the sound of screaming.”

‘S-Stop it!’

Lucia’s lips tremble.

Siron was not an ordinary child; no, not even a child, he was trash itself. I felt like a fool for feeling sympathy for Shiron even for a moment. Lucia thought about punching Siron, but…

‘No, if you hit Siron here, Siriel might be afraid of me in the future.’

Lucia relaxed her clenched fists. Instead, I cried out with strength in my chin, which could hardly stop trembling.

“Shiron! stop!”

“Oh, please be quiet. “Siriel was upset because of you.”

However, despite her dissuasion, Siron blamed Lucia. The red-haired girl had blood rushing to her head at his shamelessness.

“What, what, what are you talking about! you!”

Lucia was dumbfounded. It wasn’t anyone’s fault that Siriel was crying right now, but wasn’t it Siron who was pouring oil on a burning house?

“I, I just.”

But even in that hectic situation, Siriel held on tightly to the hem of her clothes in order to comply with Siron’s request.

“… … Poetry, I was excited to be with my peers. You were so happy to have friends for the first time in your life. Now, I was very excited because I felt like I was going on an adventure that seemed to come out of the story.”

It stuttered a little, but it was better than before. Tears flowed, but Siriel tried to speak properly.

“So, I got excited and talked about other people’s family matters without permission. There was no consideration… Kheung.”

“Yeah, that’s right. It’s amazing, you know how to admit your mistakes.”

Chiron took a handkerchief from his pocket and began wiping Siriel’s tears.

“… … .”

However, Lucia did not smile at all at that heartbreaking sight.

It was none other than the fact that Shiron was making a really unpleasant smile.

However, whether this should be considered fortunate, Siriel, who buried her head in Siron’s shirt, could not see the expression.

Siron began to pat Siriel on the shoulder.

“I guess Siriel is excited because she has a lot of friends?”

“… … huh.”

“But I never said I would be your friend?”

“… … I’m sorry. “I just made a mistake.”

“It’s so absurd. How can you be friends with an older brother who is two years older than you? huh?”

“I’m sorry… oppa…”

“Oh my, be kind. It’s nice that you’re quick-witted. Okay, boom! let’s do it. joy!”

“joy!”

Siriel blew her nose following Chiron’s chuimsae.

‘What is that…’

Lucia couldn’t take her eyes off the sight.

Because it was Lucia who had only seen Siriel, who was smart and brilliant,

Siriel’s childlike appearance and Shiron’s handling of the child were quite shocking.

Chiron wiped Siriel’s face for a while before throwing the saliva-stained handkerchief out the window.

“I was going to scold you because you said something mean.”

Chiron reached into his pocket and pulled out a pile of candy.

It was a Chiron that had been like a wet mouse for a long time, but for some reason, the candy wasn’t stuck to it, and it was as smooth as new.

Chiron picked a yellow one from the candy pile and picked it up.

“I’ll give you a prize because you’re a good ‘little sister’.”

“Oh, thank you. brother.”

Siriel opened her mouth without Chiron saying anything. Chiron put the candy in there. Putting the candy in her mouth, Siriel rolled the candy in her mouth a few times and started smirking.

“Is it delicious?”

“Ugh, lemon flavor, I’m proud of you.”

“I like the lemon flavor too. Do we like the same thing?”

“… … !”

“I’ll give you some lemonade when I get to the mansion later.”

“Yeah, thank you brother.”

Siriel smiled brightly with red eyes, and then leaned against Chiron’s side.

“Hey, do you want some candy too?”

“… … no.”

Lucia rejected Siron’s offer and looked at Siriel who was sleeping in Siron’s arms.

Before I knew it, Siriel was fast asleep. I can’t believe you made such a fuss and then fell asleep like that. Lucia narrowed her eyes and looked at Siron.

‘It’s suspicious.’

“Don’t hate it.”

Siron put the red candy in his mouth and chewed it.
