Shi ni Modori, Subete wo Sukuu Tame ni Saikyou He to Itaru

- Tina side -

The clearest thing I remember when I was little was when I first met a boy.

One day, your father took me to the house next door. They were greeting you around that day the day you moved in. When I was a little girl, I don't really remember why.

When I went to the next house, a gentle looking woman greeted me, and then there was a man who was afraid of his face when he went inside the house.

I remember being scared and hiding behind your father.

And while your fathers were talking, the baby that was in that room went into his eyes and approached him.

I remember hearing about the baby later and realizing it was a boy, but the first time I saw it I mistakenly thought it was a girl.

She had a pretty face and her neat eyes looked straight at me.

I hugged her because she was so cute, but now I think she looked pathetic because she hugged that little baby so hard?

Since I met the boy, I went to the house next door to see the boy almost every day.

I wasn't aware of it then, but from the boy, I felt 'something' that I didn't think was a baby or a child.

When I was playing in the garden and I fell flashy and rubbed my knees and cried, it was the boy who came to me the earliest.

The boy had just turned two, but he washed my knees off with water.

I saw the water coming out of my hands at that time and told me it was magic when I stopped crying and then asked the boy about it.

Mahoura, what?

How can you do that?

When I asked the boy a question, he answered it all.

Three years younger than me, I was wondering why you knew so much about things.

Even then, I played with a lot of boys and heard and learned a lot.

One time I heard the mothers say we were like sisters and brothers, and then I asked what it meant because there was only a boy father nearby......

"Be the woman you depend on," he said.

That's when I realized I always relied on boys the other way around, and now I want boys to rely on me as your sister.

The boy was always running, so I followed him along, and I tried to do the sword, but that was stopped by the mothers.

Instead, the boy taught me magic and trained with me.

I couldn't do it well at first, but it was getting more and more fun to find out it was magic right after a day.

The boy said we were doing magic training together, and he was looking at me with a kind of complicated face but I didn't know why.

The boy's father does the work of one of the few hunters in our village.

I don't know much about it, but they're knocking down dangerous demons and animals and stuff in the woods.

The father of the boy is trusted by everyone in the village because the demons and animal meat that he defeats are distributed evenly to everyone in the village.

To that job, it was becoming more and more common for a boy to follow and for me to wait at home alone.

When I was ten, I was able to follow the job for the first time.

I enjoyed going to the woods with the boy in confidence to your father and mother, and I was walking in the woods in a skipping mood, but I also followed quietly because the boy and uncle had a serious vibe.

Suddenly my uncle and the boy stopped, wondering and looking in the direction they were looking, there was a big demon.

It seems to be a demon named Red Bear, a dangerous demon even in this forest.

I made a noise and they almost noticed me, but I wasn't lucky enough to notice.

The consultation resulted in the operation that my uncle would hold off after me and the boy unleashed magic and made a pre-emptive attack.

For the first time I was anxious about the act of killing a creature or what I would do if it didn't work out, but when I saw me like that, a boy shook my hand.

You've held hands from me before, but this was the first time you've held hands from a boy.

I was surprised but until then my anxiety disappeared like a lie and I was trembling without realizing it but it also stopped and I was able to turn firmly towards the demon and activate the magic.

The result was firm. My magic had torn off my parents' red bear, and the boy's magic had been fatally wounded before my uncle had finished it.

Then my uncle, who saw my magic, invited me to be a hunter... but I also said no because he said before that the boy would not be a hunter either.

When I went back to the village, your father and mother got a little mad at me. Don't worry about it.

I apologized because I also went to the woods in silence.

But what I noticed when I went to the woods was that the boys were still incredibly dependable.

He called and held my hand to put away what I was trembling.

Such a dependable boy...... I knew I wanted to be relied upon.

That's why I don't give up being your sister.

- Years have passed since the day I first went to the woods, and I am eighteen.

And it's a boy, my brother - Eric's birthday.

"Congratulations, Eric!

The little baby I first met turned sixteen, and her pretty face is now a little manly.

He was a lot less tall than me, but now he's a little bigger than me. I think Eric will be bigger too, given his uncle's height.

"Thank you, Sister Tina"

Eric thanked me with a smile that was no different from when I was little, even if he was taller than me.

Seeing that smile makes me laugh even deeper, too.

I hope this happiness lasts forever......

I was celebrating Eric's birthday with that in mind.

... I wonder why it's so exciting to see my brother getting cooler lately?

Why don't you talk to your mother?
