"Pfft... Leveo, are you trying to pull off a prank on again?"
Zoemi snickered shaking his head – this would not be the first ti when the older twin tried to give him a scare.
*click*
Therefore, without a bit of hesitation, the black-haired boy grabbed the handle of the door and opened it with a bright smile he intended to greet the two girls with...
"Ah...!"
"...wh-wha...?"
The single person on the inside flinched and cowered, seemingly in embarrassnt – although it wasn't that obvious.
After all...
The child on the inside, a girl around or slightly older than Zoemi, had pure-white skin without even the slightest bit of color, the sa with her hair and eyes. Because of her complexion, it was impossible for her to blush.
When Zoemi surprised her by opening the door so suddenly, she fidgetted and pulled down on a straw hat she was wearing as if she didn't want to reveal her face, and she shifted towards the window while her white one-piece dress rustled revealing even more pure-white skin.
"Big sister tavicero?!"
Roiso didn't even have to let out a shocked voice to reveal the other girl's identity.
There was literally no one else on the planet who could be mistaken for her after all.
"Umm... I... I'm sorry..."
avicero fidgetted and glanced at the stunned Zoemi and the surprised Roiso before lowering her head apologetically.
"Umm... I... You seem to know but... I do not recognize either of you..."
The white-as-snow little girl bowed her head even deeper while holding on to her straw hat.
"...Sorry for surprising you, Miss tavicero, but... could you tell us what are you doing here? Isn't this the carriage of lord Modari Tallaran...?"
Zoemi bowed back to the bowing girl and inquired, taking into consideration that by so wild coincidence so other person has the sa-looking carriage pulled by the sa-looking horses like the ones belonging to the man in charge of the territory he and his father were taking refuge in.
"N... no...? I ca here with my friend and her father... lord Kalleronette. I'm sorry"
tavicero shook her head lightly with the perfect mannerism and even apologized even though she wasn't at fault at all in the situation.
"Ugh..! I see... umm, sorry for the inconvenience there and..."
Zoemi let out a sound as if he received a ht and started backing off – it really seed like this it was his mistake but...
"Wait... Kallerontte...? Where did I hear that family na before...?"
"...?! I don't... I don't know..."
Suddenly the black-haired boy flinched and straightened his back, causing tavicero to cower even more while getting teary-eyed.
*click*
"No, no. It's nothing. My daughter didn't do it for money anyway."
As the three children were talking, the door to the sumr house opened and a blue-haired man exited the building while looking over his shoulder and shaking his head while refusing sothing.
"See? It's lord Kallerontte."
The white-as-snow girl perked up and pointed a the blue-haired man in a relieved and hopeful voice, happy that a distraction showed up.
"...no matter how I look at him, though, it's clearly lord Modari Tallaran..."
"...eh...?"
But then the stunned Zoemi who was the first to react to the sound of the door opening said and made tavicero gasp in confusion.
Still, tavicero in the Tallarans' carriage and father of Teofee and Leveo exiting the Tencellions' property weren't the ends of the surprises at all.
*thump*
"Thank you...! Thank you so much, young lady!"
The sound of soone going on his knees and thanking soone else still inside the house.
"Now, now. Sir Paluous. Go back in and join your wife and son in celebrating her recovery. Let's go back to the carriage, sweetie."
Modari turned around full and waved his hand dismissively with a laugh before reaching his hand back inside.
"My family will never forget this great debt...! My son, George, I will train him to the best of my abilities so he would one day beco the faithful servant of this noble young lady."
"That I will take your word for."
The sa voice called out and Modari's eyes shone with excitent as if that turn of events was exactly what he hoped for.
"Until next ti. I'll close the door, go to your wife."
The blue-haired man added before pulling his arm back and assuring the man inside.
"Huh...?!"
Zoemi could not keep his voice down and gasped when he saw who was holding lord Tallaran's hand.
It was...
"You did a good job there, sweetie. With your attributes, you will be more famous than kings and queens. We need to get you the best bodyguards before we reveal you to the world."
"I know. Thank you, papa~!"
Modari breathed out and smiled at the blue-eyed little girl at his side and she nodded with a proud expression and shook her head, making her lush blond hair sway in the breeze.
"Now then... I heard so gossip about a child from the Efemare family, apparently, it awakened to such a destructive attribute that its family hid it away. We should visit there too since it is close by, now, our coachman should be back any minute... ah...!"
The blue-haired man nodded with a smirk and looked towards his carriage and the words got stuck in his throat when he spotted the black-haired child standing in front of it.
"!!!"
Imdiately, his eyes darted to the side and once he spotted the light-blue-haired Mizoe glaring at him from outside the gate, his face beca ghastly pale just before turning greenish from the wave of nausea that hit him like a speeding truck.
"Papa...? Private visit."
The blond-haired girl looked up at her father's face and tilted her head before using one of her spells on him.
"...hmm... no signs of any actual sickness, but your symptoms are... EH?!"
She tilted her head and thought out loud before her eyes wandered off and randomly made contact with Zoemi's obsidian eyes, causing her to let out a shocked voice.
"Burushi?!"
Zoemi called out in disbelief.
"Wha...?! Wait! HOW CO YOU ARE EVEN ALIVE?!"
Burushi shouted back in utter disbelief.
