A sense of fear developed inside as I took steps toward Ainge and Ron's room. Normally she was the type you can call a kind and caring mom but when she's angry about sothing then she's scarier than a demon.
I walked alone in the hallway as the sounds of my footsteps echoed through the area. A while later I reached my destination. I prepared myself for an hour-long lecture as I stood in front of the room's door.
But then when I was about to knock on the door and call for her I heard sothing.
I heard so yelping and moaning voices. Where are they coming from? Of course, it was from Ainge and Ron's room which was right in front of .
They were...well, *busy working*.
I turned around and saw the sun has set, it was almost night ti so it makes sense I guess.
'I heard sothing I shouldn't have,' I said to myself inwardly and walked away from there.
I wonder if I would be getting a little brother or sister soon.

The next day at breakfast we all were sitting at the dining table eating our al.
Maybe Ainge forgot about yesterday since she was not saying anything to . But this 'not saying' just made it worse by keeping in suspense.
There was an awkward silence so I decided to start the conversation myself. I wanted to et this guy who is causing this whole marriage problem and I don't think I would be able to do that by myself.
"Zero, where were you yesterday? You ca ho late," said Ainge.
Okay, she said it herself.
"Oh that, I was a little busy with sothing. Though I also have sothing to ask you, why didn't you tell about Anya's marriage situation?" I appealed, looking at Ainge and Ron.
Noticing the way I said that Ainge must have understood I already know everything, she glanced at Anya for a second before looking back at again.
"This was not a thing you should be involved with," she denied.
I don't want to create an argunt here so I won't be questioning this statent. My motive right now is sothing else.
"Yes I know, but I do have the right to know who's going to be my sister's husband right? Or I can't even have that much?" I asked; this ti I specifically looked at Ron while saying so.
Anya must have been confused over what I said just now because she stared at so hard that it was like she wanted to kill . That's understandable because right now I must be sounding like I have no problem with this marriage.
But well, that's how I want to sound here.
"If you already know everything then there's no aning to hide it now, yes Anya is getting married," Ainge announced.
"And can I et that person?" I asked, raising my brow.
She didn't say anything for a mont and kept eating her breakfast. After a while, she took a sip of tea before saying, "It seems like you are in luck, that person is coming to et us today, along with his parents."
"Hey but that's not right! Zero, if you know everything then you should also know that your sister doesn't want to do this marriage right? Why aren't you saying anything?" Ron shouted while he stood up and smacked the table.
"I know, but there's nothing we can do right? I an if there was sothing then we won't be having this conversation right now," I said, quietly while I ate my al.
"That's…" Ron tried to argue but he couldn't find the words to deny my statent.
"Calm down honey, what he's saying is right. You also know that," said Ainge as she put her hand on Ron's back.
"I know, I know that's he's but…I can't let him marry my daughter like this! You know very well what will happen to her if that happens," Ron blustered.
I can console Ron right now but that'll decrease my chances of winning. It would be better if the tension and ntal pressure he has is real instead of acting that way.
I don't want any fluctuations, after all. Though the thing I wanted was sure now, if that man is coming here by himself then it just saves the trouble.
I want to see his prideful and arrogant nature so I would feel even better after seeing his confused, broken, and defeated face. Just thinking about it makes grin internally.
"It's okay father, there's nothing you could have done. The ones in the wrong are those people, it's not your fault," I said, giving so kind words to Ron.
After that, we finished breakfast and went to our rooms. Ron had so work to do so he went outside; those people were coming to visit us formally so he must have gone to make so preparations or sothing.
About Anya, she had sowhat cald down and gone back to her normal self after I told her that I will be helping behind the scenes. But for that mont I told her to keep acting depressed and troubled so no one can notice these changes and raise suspicion.

I had so free ti in hand so I ca into the backyard to practice magic. I was practicing daily to level up and increase my stats but after reaching B rank it beca harder.
I jumped from C to B in a year and maxed out my other attributes to C in two years. But after that it just beca hard, I was stuck with a B rank and C attributes for almost 2 and a half years.
This was one of the reasons I wanted to join the magic academy if possible. Training alone was not enough if I wanted to increase my rank to S or sothing elite.
But for this mont, I was here to do a little experint.
I sat on my knees and prepared myself to use magic. I was only able to use elental magic by learning alone and with elental magic, I can control the elents of fire, water, and earth.
I concentrated my thoughts and started to control the earth elent. By doing so I gathered the dust particles present in the air into one place and created a brick with it.
After that, I placed the brick on the ground and touched it with my right hand. Then I used the fire elent and started heating the brick, slowly, its temperature started increasing.
I heated it to around 2000 degrees Celsius and then when the brick was starting to glow in a red-hot color I instantly switched from fire to water elent.
At the sa ti, I converted water to sub-elent ice and cooled down the brick lowering its temperature in an instant.
A big cloud of steam covered the brick as I did that and when it disappeared the brick crumbled into powder form.
This experint was successful.

It was the ti when those people will co to et us. I, Anya, Ainge, and Ron were dressed in formal clothing and waiting for them in the guest room.
No one wanted to do that and it was clearly showing on our faces, still, we didn't have any other choice.
Though it seems like I was the only one who was a little curious about this eting, I an I can't help it. This was the first ti I was eting him. Yes, I do have imagined an arrogant young master who uses a ridiculous speech pattern but seeing the real thing has its own fun.
'Wait for a second, why does it feel like I'm going to a zoo to see an animal or sothing?'
Well, whatever.
We were in the guest room, Anya and Ainge were sitting on a large red-colored sofa while I was standing behind them. Ron was waiting outside for them so he wasn't there.
I was dressed in a grey colored suit and a white shirt. This type of clothing was not of my liking, I preferred more loose clothes like a hoodie but this was a formal eting so I have to adjust.
Anya was wearing a long black colored gown and long gloves; her dress was similar to the one I saw in light novel illustrations. Maybe Ainge choose this dress for her because it was perfect, her blonde hair and green eyes were matching with the black color.
If she had asked then I would have suggested wearing sothing that will make her look worse, you know why.
All of a sudden the tension in the atmosphere increased as Ron entered the room with three more people; a male, a female, and an old fart.
It didn't take long to recognize my sister's 'supposed-to-be-husband'. Among the three he was the one in the middle, his age was probably the sa as mine.
Just like Anya had told he had blonde hair and brown eyes. He wore a dark green-colored suit which looked a lot more formal than mine.
Along with the clothes he also wore a disgusting grin on his face, that *thing* appeared on his face when he saw Anya who had her gaze down.
This specific thing made my blood boil and I wanted to burn him off with fire magic but I soon cald myself.
That isn't the best way to make him suffer, he sure will feel pain but it will be over after his death. I want to defeat him in a way that will make him regret his choice to cause trouble for my sister.
So, with a fake smile on my face, I welcod him.
