*Knock!* *Knock!* *Knock!*
I gently knock on the door of Lilith’s apartnt.
*Click*
So monts later, I hear a clicking sound, and the figure of a frail-looking, red haired girl appears before my eyes.
“Uwaah!! Big brother is here!” Lilith suddenly shouts and jumps on in excitent, while I also hold onto her and let her wrap herself around .
After hugging to her satisfaction, she then cos down and starts dragging into her house.
“Big brother, co inside….my mom also wants to see you!” She says, pulling inside and imdiately closing the door from behind.
Suddenly, she pauses her movent as she turns back and looks at with a bleak expression.
“Big brother, you’ll have to sit on the floor, we don’t have any chairs in our house. All our belongings have been confiscated by my mom’s creditors,” She tells dejectedly.
Hearing her words, I look around carefully, and realize that what she’s saying is actually true. The living room is empty, there is no single chair, and neither are there gadgets that were forrly here before. It’s as if there is literally no one living here.-ɴ(0ᴠᴇ)ʟ.
“It’s fine, Lilith,” I say, and in the next mont, I sit down in a semi-lotus position in a corner of the living room.
“Hehe, thank you, big brother!” She tells with excitent on her face when she sees that I didn’t mind the condition of their living room, nor did I berate her.
“I’ll go and call my mom!” She announces and dashes off to the kitchen.
Soti later, Lilith’s mom erges from the kitchen with a large tray containing three plates of food in her hands.
“Mrs. Krer….” I mutter and greet her in a low voice the mont I see her.
“Good evening, Jake… Please don’t mind the condition of our living room, thanks for bearing with us. Here, I made you so blood steak…” Mrs. Krar tells with a beautiful smile on her face as she bends down to give a plate of blood steak, and also gives one to Lilith who promptly sits down beside .
Damn, I guess their dining room is also empty which is why she didn’t bother inviting to eat there. Just what the fuck happened to Mrs. Krer and her child, their house wasn’t like this before.
Well, how should I describe Mrs. Krar… She’s an average-height, slim woman, with long red hair that is freely flowing behind her back. She also has small little horns on her head, and pouted, plump red lips that perfectly fit her oval-shaped face. To cut things short, Mrs. Krer is just like the mature version of Lilith.
Right now, a baffled expression is still on my face since I am wondering about what happened to Mrs. Krer.
paɴᴅᴀ-,cm “Jake, Lilith told about how you helped her retrieve her bag from the hands of a thief, and you also gave her so money. I-I don’t know how to repay this favor, I am very grateful for your kindness. And If you want to do anything for you please do tell .” Mrs. Krer says in a low voice.
“It’s okay, Mrs. Krer, I didn’t do it because of anything, I did it because Lilith was always like my little sister when we were younger, I’ll take care of her from now on,” I reply and pat Lilith, who is enjoying her blood steak, on her head.
“T-Thank you J-Jake…” Mrs. Krer mutters and a single tear trails down her face. Currently, she’s sitting down opposite , wearing a white skimpy nightgown and also eating so blood steak.
I have so many questions to ask her, but I decide to ask after the al.
After eating, Mrs. Krer carries all the plates to the kitchen, while Lilith sits close to and puts her head on my shoulder.
“Big brother, my results are finally out and I passed in flying colors…hehe. I am going to be promoted to the 12th grade and beco an adult as well next year!” Lilith tells with excitent.
“Good job, Lilith… I’ll surely reward you.” I say, as I pat her on her head and caress her horns, while Lilith has an expression of ecstasy on her face as if she’s enjoying it.
Abruptly, Mrs. Krer cos back from the kitchen and sits down opposite and Lilith.
Uh, why is she blushing or am I imagining things?
“Ahem… Jake, do you have anything to say to ?” Mrs. Krer suddenly asks with a beautiful smile.
Eh, was she expecting to ask her sothing? Well, that makes sense, after all, I ca to see her…
“Well, I have sothing to ask Mrs. Krer. I don’t want it to seem like I’m prying into your personal life, but I just feel so sympathy towards you, because Lilith is like a sister to . So, I would like to know the reason why your financial condition is like this now. You weren’t like this before Mrs Krer, I’d like to know what happened…” I ask with curiosity on my face.
“Oh, you ca to ask about that? Sigh…”
“Why do you say that Mrs. Krer?”
“Actually, it’s nothing, I thought you ca here for other things, Jake.”
“What do you an, I don’t get it.” I ask, looking confused.
“I thought you ca here for that.” Mrs. Krer says and points towards my hand which is currently caressing Lilith’s head.
“Oh, what does that an?”
“We Eatris are a subclass of vampires, but we also have our own culture. I-If a man touches a female Eatris’s horn several tis, it ans that he is seeking the Eatris’ hand in marriage. And s-since you have been touching Lilith’s own ever since both of you were young, I-I thought you liked her and want to marry her.” Mrs. Krer speaks and her face flushes red.
“…..”
[….]
“Uwaaa!! If you like just tell my mom, big brother! Stop acting shy, I also like you, and I want you to marry ! Please, save from that dirty pig!” Lilith also tells and buries her face in my lap in embarrassnt…
“I-I didn’t know about that culture, and w-what did Lilith an by ‘dirty pig’? Is soone disturbing her?” I ask with a stutter and my face also turns red for so reason.
This situation caught off guard and my brain can’t seem to process it. I didn’t know that such a culture existed among the Eatris. I just enjoy playing with her horns, since I noticed that she always enjoyed it any ti I did that, since when we were kids.
“B-Big brother, I…I have always hidden from you because I was always embarrassed and turned red anyti you grabbed my horns, b-but now, a dirty pig has been disturbing and has made my life miserable. I…I thought you liked …Uwaaa!” Lilith cries out with tears streaming down her beautiful face, before dashing towards her room.
SIGH!
No wonder I rarely see her outside anymore nor does she follow to school. We were close back when we were still in middle school. Lilith secluded herself just because of this reason?! But, who is the person disturbing her to the extent that she even said he is making her life miserable?
In a flash, I raise my head and shoot a fierce glance at Lilith’s mom whose body jerks in surprise.
“Do you mind explaining what happened Mrs. Krer?” I ask with an audible voice.
“Sigh… it all started after the death of my husband. Suddenly, a friend of his ca out of nowhere and insisted that my deceased husband owed him a very large amount of money by showing so agreent docunts. Devastated, I had to sell our house and move to a rented apartnt. Then, I used the money to pay part of the debt, but it wasn’t enough, so I started working and paying off the debt little by little while Lilith was still young.
“Everything was fine until recently. Last year, the first child of the man got interested in Lilith, and forcibly grabbed her horns. Then they ca and requested that Lilith and their son should get engaged. However, I refused, since Lilith doesn’t like the boy, but these people kept bothering and even told that they’ll forget about the debt if I allowed the two of them to marry. But I refused these people and they left angrily.
“Shortly after, I got sacked from my job, then I found another job, but I was sacked after a week again. Thereafter, I got sacked from every single place that I worked at and it was all the doing of these people. Because of this, I wasn’t able to pay off the debt when it was due every month. So, I sold my car and all my jewelry to pay the debt. But after that, I couldn’t get any job, and the interest in the debt kept rising. But these people don’t want to listen to my pleas, they ca to my house and packed every single thing we own…. A-And they are still threatening to make our lives more miserable if I don’t allow Lilith to marry their son…” Mrs. Krer explains everything to and breaks down in tears.
“Who did it?!”
I ask in only three words, while a red aura starts dancing around my body violently, and the killing intent that I am emitting is ready to wipe everything in its path.
