Cherry Blossom Afternoon
Tokyo Haneda International Airport
Ge Hengyu and Ailiana exited the arrival hall and got into a car of the Copper Black Cross.
They were heading to the Kusanagi family in Bunkyo Ward.
Ge Hengyu had been on Sardinia for a while, and it was time to check in on the Kusanagi family.
After all, he had a younger sister in middle school at home alone, and he really couldn't feel at ease.
As for the other two who didn't come along,
it was because Erika had something to attend to and needed to return to the Copper Black Cross, saying she would bring back a talented individual for him.
Lucuria, on the other hand, had recently discovered an ancient ruin in Africa.
She needed to investigate the ruins as the top-ranking witch, which was commonly referred to as archaeology, a sort of hobby.
Generally, such archaeological endeavors, if luck is on their side, would yield good results.
For instance, the Prometheus Codex was something Lucuria obtained during her early archaeological pursuits.
So Ge Hengyu didn't stop her.
However, he did give Erika and Lucuria a task.
To help collect magical knowledge from Europe.
He remembered that in the setting of the Godslayer, Europe was the earliest origin of magic.
Thus, it had a very high level of magical research.
Erika's "Each His Own Word Spirit" was one of the highest masterpieces of magic.
It had the potential to harm gods and even slay them.
Even the magic immunity of the Godslayer could not resist it.
It's important to note that the nine layers of magic in the world cannot harm gods or break the Godslayer's magic immunity.
But "Each His Own Word Spirit" managed to do just that.
This shows the depth of that magic and the level of magical achievement in Europe.
As for why he wanted to collect magical knowledge,
it was because Ge Hengyu wanted to use the first effect of the power "God of War in Youth."
To learn a large amount of magical knowledge to enrich his own means.
……
Kusanagi Family.
A cute little girl with short black hair tied in two pink buns.
She was wearing a small apron, all alone in the kitchen at home, preparing dinner for herself.
That tender and adorable little face seemed to be feeling quite gloomy and unhappy after being alone for a week.
If it weren't for her brother calling her to chat these past few days,
she might have been unable to bear living alone and would have gone to live with her working mother.
“Damn brother, how could he leave his sister to play outside for so long.
He must be up to no good; when he comes back, I’ll have to teach him a lesson, this irresponsible brother.”
Kusanagi Shinka stirred the curry in the pot with a ladle, feeling the unusually quiet atmosphere at home.
She couldn't help but complain softly, her pink lips slightly pouting.
Crack!
Just then, the quiet room suddenly heard the sound of the door opening.
Kusanagi Shinka was startled, her delicate body trembling slightly, gripping the ladle tightly.
Feeling a bit scared, she peeked out from the kitchen to look at the entrance door.
The curry sauce on the ladle dripped onto the floor, but she didn't dare to pay it any mind.
She was afraid that a bad person might break into the house.
After all, she was just a 13-year-old middle school girl.
Being home alone made her feel very insecure.
As Kusanagi Shinka nervously watched, the entrance door pushed open.
Ge Hengyu, holding a gift bag, saw Kusanagi Shinka's tense little expression.
He smiled and waved the bag in his hand.
“Shinka, your brother is back.
Look, I brought you a gift from Italy!”
After taking off his shoes and placing them at the entrance, Ge Hengyu walked into the house.
Kusanagi Shinka snapped back to reality, her scared expression fading away.
With one hand on her little waist and the other waving the ladle, she glared at him with her little tiger teeth showing.
“Hmph, you finally know to come back.
What kind of brother leaves his sister at home for over a week without caring?
What if I got kidnapped?”
As she said this, there was a hint of unnoticeable grievance in Kusanagi Shinka's eyes.
Seeing this, Ge Hengyu smiled and ruffled his cute little sister's head.
“Alright, it’s my fault.
So in Italy, I specially brought back a lot of good things for my adorable sister.
Among them is the high-end truffle sauce you wanted the most.”
Feeling the large hand patting her head, Kusanagi Shinka inexplicably felt comforted.
Her little bit of gloom quickly dissipated.
“Hmph, I won’t be bought off by gifts.
And that high-end truffle sauce from Italy, it seems quite expensive, did you bring that much money?”
Seeing his cute little sister getting angry, Ge Hengyu waved his hand.
“Haha, your brother made a fortune on this trip.
Little truffle sauce, you can have as much as you want.”
Upon hearing this, Kusanagi Shinka looked at Ge Hengyu with suspicion.
But she didn’t take it seriously; after all, he was back, and that was what mattered.
“Alright, stop bragging.
Quickly go prepare the bowls and chopsticks; my dinner is almost ready.”
With that, she skipped back to the kitchen.
Seeing this, Ge Hengyu just smiled and didn’t rush to explain.
He turned around to prepare the bowls and chopsticks.
As for Ailiana, who came with the cherry blossoms, she didn’t return to the Kusanagi family with him.
Instead, she was preparing accommodations outside.
When Erika and Lucuria finished their tasks and came over, there would be a place to stay.
Because the Kusanagi family was ultimately too small.
……
Before long, the siblings finished dinner.
Ge Hengyu pulled Kusanagi Shinka to the sofa and prepared to confess some things.
Seeing her brother's serious expression, Kusanagi Shinka curiously asked,
“What’s wrong, big brother?
Is there something you want to tell me?”
Ge Hengyu nodded, a strange smile on his face.
“I do need to tell you something.
Because your brother has become successful and is now a world-class big shot.
You can have whatever you want; you can be a little princess now.”
Upon hearing this, Kusanagi Shinka raised her little hand and touched her brother's forehead, puzzled.
“Huh, you’re not running a fever.
How come your head is so muddled?
Did you catch a case of second childhood syndrome?
How pitiful.
Don’t worry, Shinka won’t abandon you.”
Kusanagi Shinka, stroking Ge Hengyu's head, looked at him with all her affection.
It was as if she could already foresee how her brother would be despised by others for having a second childhood syndrome.
Only she, this cute little sister, could give her poor brother love.
Ge Hengyu watched Kusanagi Shinka's series of expression changes with a speechless look.
Indeed, if he didn’t show anything, Kusanagi Shinka wouldn’t believe it.
He removed her little hand from his head and flicked her forehead.
“I knew you wouldn’t believe me; let me show you something impressive.”
He took Kusanagi Shinka to the balcony, and under her curious gaze, he picked her up in a princess carry.
Before his little sister could express her confusion, the spell power spread out to protect the petite girl.
The wings of time and space behind him suddenly stretched out, carrying them straight into the night sky.
“Ahhhhhhh…”
The sudden high-speed takeoff brought a sensation of weightlessness.
Kusanagi Shinka was so scared that she screamed, her tender little face turning pale.
She could only cling tightly to Ge Hengyu's neck, eyes shut tight, afraid of falling.
Even after the sensation of weightlessness disappeared, Kusanagi Shinka still didn’t dare to open her eyes.
Ge Hengyu, who was already hovering in the high sky,
looked at his sister, who was trembling in fear in his arms, and gently patted her back to comfort her.
“Shinka, don’t be afraid; with your brother here, there’s no danger. Open your eyes and take a look.”
Reassured, Kusanagi Shinka was still scared, but out of trust in her brother,
she quietly opened one eye to observe her surroundings.
However, the scene that entered her eyes made Kusanagi Shinka widen her eyes in astonishment.
Because at that moment, the two of them had already arrived above the clouds.
The thick clouds were spread out beneath their feet like the earth.
The night sky above, unobstructed,
was filled with countless stars and a bright moon, shining so brightly, as if the Milky Way was hanging high in the sky, embellishing the world.
“Wow, so beautiful.
This is the kind of starry night view you can only see in the countryside.”
Attracted by the beauty of the night sky, Kusanagi Shinka momentarily forgot her fear of being high up, exclaiming in awe.
But soon she came back to her senses, looking at her brother in amazement, his handsome face with a beauty mark illuminated by the starlight.
“Are you really my brother?
How come you can suddenly fly?
And what you said about being a world-class big shot, could it not be bragging?”
Now, Kusanagi Shinka was both surprised and curious about Ge Hengyu.
She couldn’t understand how her brother had changed so much after a trip to Italy.
“Hehe, of course, I’m your brother.”
But not by blood, of course.
The last sentence, Ge Hengyu didn’t say out loud.
After all, saying it wouldn’t explain anything.
Because he had replaced Kusanagi Houtou, taking the place of all existence.
From then on, no one remembered Kusanagi Houtou.
Everyone would only remember him, and even the personality and behavior patterns were based on him.
Thus, it was impossible to explain.
“But brother suddenly being able to fly is so strange; Shinka can hardly believe it.”
Leaning in his embrace, Kusanagi Shinka reached out her little hand to touch the wings of time and space behind her brother.
Feeling the delicate texture of the feathers, she looked at it with curiosity.
How could an ordinary person suddenly grow wings and fly up to the sky?
It was truly unscientific.
Holding Kusanagi Shinka's little bottom, Ge Hengyu patted her head.
“Don’t worry; I’ll explain the reason for my changes to you.
Also, do you want to play in the sky for a while, or should we go down now?”
Upon hearing the suggestion, Kusanagi Shinka's eyes lit up.
“Yes, yes! I want to try flying in the sky.”
To this, Ge Hengyu didn’t refuse; he just smiled indulgently and placed Kusanagi Shinka on his back.
Then they began to play in the sky.
Having lived two lives, Hengyu had never experienced the feeling of having a little sister, so he naturally spoiled Shinka.
This kind of behavior is generally referred to as being a sister complex.
