My Little Sister Is Too Cute So I Have To Protect Her - Chapter 78 Where Have You Been Charlotte?

After knowing Hanako and Mio for so long, I must’ve known at least something about them, right?

Luckily, one of the things I knew from living with them for so long is their usual behaviours when they want to lecture me.

First, they would place me in the basement. Then, they will both leave to find tools to torture the sh*t out of me. They weren’t afraid of me escaping because they knew I wouldn’t dare to do so. Therefore, I decided to take advantage of this negligence of theirs and escaped.

“O-Onii-chan?!?!”

“Shh! Come with me!”

Seeing Charlotte sitting in the living room, I decided to drag her with me. I mean, I haven’t had the chance to be with her for the past few weeks, after all!

“W-Where are we going, Onii-chan?”

“I also have no idea.”

Not knowing where to go, my feet instinctively led me towards the park. I don’t know why my body seems so attached to this place, but I love going there to relax.

“Mou~ I guess I’ll accompany you, Onii-chan…”

Acting as if she wasn’t satisfied by what happened, she puffed out her cheeks cutely and held my hand tightly.

*Sniff* So this must be what having a normal ‘little sister’ feels like…

I had that thought in mind while running away with Charlotte.

Ah~ I haven’t had this feeling for a long time now. It feels so good…

************

Once we arrived at the park, I took Charlotte to the place where I once took Mio to before. Just like the last time, we could see the port vaguely from the place where we are currently standing.

“Onii-chan…”

Seeing that I had a blank look on my face, Charlotte called me out of worry. I looked at her with warm eyes and reached out my right hand to pat her head.

“Mou~ Onii-chan, I’m not a kid anymore, you know?”

Although she said that, she still didn’t make a dissatisfied face. In fact, she even seemed to be enjoying it.

“Nee, Charlotte.”

“What is it, Onii-chan?”

Then, I asked her the question I’ve always wanted to ask.

“Where have you been in the last few days?”

Bracing for an answer, I clenched the hand that was holding onto Charlotte’s tight.

“Eh? Mio didn’t tell you?”

She tilted her head slightly.

“I went back to finalize things regarding the adoption at England, you know?”

I was speechless for a while.

“Wait… it was that simple?”

“Uh… yeah?”

DAMN YOU, MIO! YOU MADE ME THINK CHARLOTTE WAS IN DANGER OR SOMETHING!!!
