Chapter 97: Sisters (Part I)
It was the first time that Melly had grown up like this, and she experienced what it was like to be hugged by a princess. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
However, the person holding her was not a prince, and she was not a princess.
As a result, she was now simply ashamed.
"That...... What's that, Miss Sakiya?" Melly blushed, her eyes glancing away, not daring to look directly at Sakiya's face, and her voice was as thin as a mosquito, "Can you...... It is...... That ......"
"Huh, what's wrong?"
Sakiya is still smiling, if she wears armor, then she will be a living prince.
"That said...... Can...... Put me down?"
The last sentence was squeezed out of her fingers by Melly holding her face with her hands.
"Ah, I'm sorry!"
Like a knight, Sakuya got down on one knee gracefully so that Merry could stand firmly on the ground.
"Is there anything wrong with your body, or is there any injury?" asked Sakiya after standing up straight, giving a generous bow.
"No, thank you!" Melly nodded, a brief thank-you. She would have liked to say more, but the quarrel between the Scarlett sisters over there overshadowed her voice.
"I don't care, it's my sister's fault!" Fran clenched her little fists and growled—a very standard child's temper tantrum stance.
"Fran!" Remilia clung her arms and said angrily, "Didn't I tell you, stay in your room and don't mess around at home!"
"That's not 'my room'!" Fran roared, "there's nothing there, I can't even find anyone to talk to, who wants to stay in that kind of place!"
"Sister, you put on a high-minded appearance all day long, you never play with me, I knew that I would leave with Brother Nalan and never come back!"
"Fran...... You ......" Remilia was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and she didn't know how to refute it.
It is true that ignoring her sister for a long time, and even treating her as a nuisance, locking her in the cellar for hundreds of years, is a dereliction of Remilia's duty as an older sister.
But what can she do? You know, Fran is ......
"Alright, don't say any more!" Remilia shouted, "Isn't it just to play with a little kid?
She said this sentence with a bit of anger. Flandroru treats Nalan Tsi's godbrother as her own brother, but does not come to kiss her sister, which makes Remilia a little unhappy.
However, then again, even Remilia herself is not Flandoralu's "pro" sister. If the so-called "sister" means "sister with direct blood relationship", then Remilia certainly cannot be regarded as Fran's sister.
For vampires, accepting someone's first embrace is equivalent to inheriting that person's bloodline, and if you interpret it in human terms, this is "gaining blood relations".
Therefore, Nalan Twilight can be regarded as Remilia's own brother, after all, Remilia became a vampire after drinking his blood. And Fran, before she turned into a vampire, she was Remilia's sister, and after the transformation, she was no more.
Because the person who turned her into a vampire was neither Nalan Twilight nor Remilia.
The relationship between these two people, in the eyes of outsiders, is the sister-sister-the big brother next door who plays with the sister, but in fact it is the little sister next door that the brother-sister-sister is unwilling to give up. Despite this, both Nalan and Remilia regard Fran as their real sister.
And now, Remilia's idea is to snatch her sister from Nalan Twilight, just as she took Fran back from the hands of those "demons" hundreds of years ago.
Well, in fact, it is different, now it is a competition for favor, and four hundred years ago, it was salvation.
"You mean, you're coming to play with me?"
As soon as she mentioned "playing", or anything related to her so-called "play", no matter how angry she was before, Fran could immediately contain her anger and be happy.
She was a natural "naughty child".
"Yes, that's right! From this day on, it's up to me, Remilia Scarlet, to be your playmate!" Remilia patted her chest, swearing.
Those who are not familiar with her will be moved, and those who are familiar with her will know that this vow only has a three-day shelf life.
"Yay, long live sister!" Fran jumped for joy, and the sisters' quarrel vanished like a mirage.
"Hmph, who was nice to you now that I think about it?"
"Well, my sister is the best......!
"Ah, let's start the 'game' after a long absence!"
Remilia's voice echoed through the hallways, but she herself was no longer there. Melly looked up and saw Remilia floating in the air with her batwings outstretched, her feet in the void, and a crimson spear of unknown origin in her hand.
No, maybe it came out of thin air and didn't need to "come from" anywhere at all.
The spear consisted of two intertwined pieces of metal, with a spiral handle and a head with two opposing tips forming a beautiful curved triangle. There is no joint between the head and the body of the spear, but it is one. The entire spear has a greasy metallic sheen on its surface, and if you look closely, you can see subtle ancient runes that are densely covered with the spear. I don't know where the craftsman was, what kind of materials were taken, and in what way he created such a murderous weapon like a work of art.
"Sharpshooter Gungnir!"
Remilia pronounced the name of the spear word by word.
"Great, sister!"
Opposite her, floated her sister Flandrelu Scarlett. Amazingly, Fran's two wings, which were as weak as dead branches, were able to support her body and carry her flying. Perhaps, it wasn't the wings that really got her out of gravity, but the magic crystals that hung on the wings, shining with colored light.
Like her sister, Flandrew pulled out a weapon commensurate with her. Unlike Remilia's beautiful spear, Fran's weapon was much simpler and more brutal, and in reality, it didn't even have a fixed form.
"Magic Sword Valettin!"
Flames erupted from Fran's palm and gradually elongated, forming a sword, or rather, a sword-like weapon. Fran wielded the flaming sword as if she were holding a toy, and the heat whipped the furniture and walls around her like a whip, stripping them of their pattern and color.
Even when she stood far away, Merry could feel the temperature of the flaming greatsword. Her eyes were burned by the hot wind and she had to squint. When the sisters' "game" begins, she can only see red flashes and orange flames jumping and colliding in front of her eyes, but she can't see the whole picture.
"Miss Sakiya, this ......" In the end, she really couldn't stand the heat, don't look around, and said to Sakiya, "Won't you stop them?"
Of course, the premise of this suggestion is that Sakiya alone can stop the Scarlett sisters. The truth is, Sakuya has no way and is not willing to pull this fight.
"There's no need for that. Sakuya looked at the pair of sisters who were fighting with great satisfaction, and her expression could not help but be overjoyed, "Being able to fight so fiercely is proof that their relationship is still as harmonious as ever." ”
"Yes...... Is that so?" Melly smiled wryly, and quickly glanced at the battle in the air, and just happened to see Remilia's spear piercing through Flandoralu's chest, she couldn't help but frown and shake her head.
Sometimes, quarrels between siblings, or even petty fights, can be considered a sign of intimacy, but such a fight to the death ...... Is it really not going to happen?
Melly really didn't understand the thoughts of these monsters, and she didn't know why Remilia had to play with Flandrew.
"It's been four hundred and ninety-five years, and it's time to 'communicate' properly......" Sakiya muttered as she looked at the flames of war from above. After that, she suddenly realized that she was not the only one watching the battle, so she turned to Melly and said with a smile:
"I'm sorry, Miss Hearn. If you continue to stay here, you may be affected, so I think it's time to get out of here. ”
"Hmm. Melly nodded.
An ordinary person like her, who has no long skills, once she is involved in the battle of the vampire sisters, even if it is just a little bit, there is a possibility of death. The fireworks and swords in the sky were indeed strangely beautiful, but they were not the scenery she could appreciate.
"Then, I'll take you to the lounge for tea, please!"
Led by Sakuya, Melly turned away from the place. Before leaving, she glanced back at her fratricidal sister one last time, burying the sight in her heart.
Behind her, blood-red bats swam in a sea of colorful bullets of light, skilfully dodging all obstacles like a fish.
