CHAPTER XV. Shelf
"Scrange??" Brandi's mind went blank, and what was happening in front of him was probably a strange state of affairs that he had never seen before. Suddenly, a girl recklessly broke into her home with the help of her friend, and opened her mouth to say that it was her sister!
Not to mention that he racked his brains to review the bitter course of the past twelve years, and repeatedly confirmed that he was indeed a genuine only child, and he never had a strange girl in his family. Just Barton's surname and Scrange, that doesn't even match a syllable!
And the name ......
He looked hesitantly at the girl named Shelf in front of him, Shelf, Shelf (bookshelf)?
Seriously, aren't the parents who named her a bit too much of a scholar...... What a bookish life.
"Well, Miss Scrange......"
"Just call me Salph, my sister." Brandi's eyes lit up when she received Brandi's response.
"All right, Sylph." At this time, Brandi didn't have the energy to think about the discordant title. "You said you were my sister...... Could it be that you're making a mistake? I don't have a surname like Scrange, well, I mean, I never seem to have a sister in my memory. Are you really sure you're looking for the right place? Do you know me? Brandi Barton?? ”
Sharf blinked and nodded earnestly.
"She's telling the truth, Brandi." Luna sunk herself into the couch in the living room, fiddling with the TV remote on the coffee table. "When I got to your door, she was standing there, motionless."
Brandi scratched the green grass on his head, and accidentally pulled off a few leaves, which made him grin in pain.
He felt even more confused. This is really strange, am I losing my mind? Forgot about your sister? But that's not right, Sharf just looked like that was obviously the first time she had seen me.
"That's... How did you find this place? He said to Salph in as much of a softer tone as he could.
Salph was stunned for a moment.
"It's my father, and my father asked me to come to you."
When Chang~
The dried fish in Brandy's hand fell limply to the floor. Under Luna's surprised gaze, she slowly transformed back into a wand.
"Is this the magic we're going to learn in our first grade? Brandi, it looks so funny. ”
"Ah, yes......" Brandi replied casually in a trance, not even realizing that revealing his ability to magic in front of them was a risky act. At this moment, a monstrous wave is being set off in his heart now.
Shrimp? How dare your father do such a thing? Unknowingly, he brought back a sister to himself?
“…… Do you know what my parents' names are? He asked relentlessly.
"Kozmo and Shirley, sister."
The girl's neat answer shattered the last vestiges of his illusions. Weakly, he fell to his knees in a frustrated forward bent position. In a trance, a large number of various ups and downs and bizarre emotional dramas flashed through his mind, and he shivered fiercely.
What to do now...... If Mother Shirley had seen Sorph, Daddy would have died, and he would have been hung up and killed almost immediately! But drive her away?
Looking at Salph, who was dirty, emaciated, and seemed to have nothing, he was really ruthless. Brandi didn't ask where the girl's mother was, thinking that she couldn't even prepare her luggage, so she was forced to run to herself, and she was sure that the situation would not be very good—ahhhh How can you bear not to let people live in!
By the way, let's just say that it's because of family reasons, how about the classmates who live in their own homes temporarily? In this way, Dad will definitely not be so cheap as to come and dismantle his own platform... Fool Shirley's mother first... Let's find a chance to explain it to Daddy later, and see what he means.
…… The thought of being on such a sensitive issue and muddy made Brandi just feel mixed feelings.
"All right, Sylph." He got up from the ground without love, and looked into Selph's eyes, and the worried concern warmed his heart.
Maybe it's nice to have a younger sister?
"There's no way I'm going to let you out of here alone, anyway. If you don't dislike it, you can stay at home for a while...... Wait until Daddy...... When he comes back, we'll try to convince my mom. ”
Salph tilted her head in confusion. "Persuade?"
"Hey, you don't have to worry about that. But before you have a showdown with Shirley's mother, you have to promise me one thing. Brandi waved his hand irritably. You'll have to pretend to be my classmate, and I've invited you to stay in the house for a while. At least for the time being, I need to say this, otherwise I'm afraid Shirley won't be able to stand the stimulus. ”
"If I can stay next to you like that, that's fine." Self nodded timidly.
It's a little inexplicable, shouldn't she have come to find Daddy Kozmo? Why the hell are you staying next to me, do I look so good?
Brandi touched his nose in embarrassment, but he didn't think much of it and continued.
"Second, our situation may be something you've never encountered before...... You need to have a big heart that doesn't change at all – like a glowing stick, a broom and a mop that you clean up yourself, and you have to keep a fairly calm composure. ”
There was no way around it, since she chose to pretend to be her classmate, she shouldn't be surprised and scream at such a thing as magic. But this should be easier to do, as long as you use more magic in front of her while your parents haven't come back. As for the Ministry of Magic's request...... What are you kidding, my house is going to blow up, and you still care about the Ministry of Magic?
"Salph doesn't have to worry about that." Luna said in a singing tone, "She hasn't been laughed at yet." ”
"By whom, me?" Brandi doesn't seem to realize that he doesn't look like a normal person at all. He looked at Luna in confusion, who smiled softly and covered his face with a pillow. So he gave Luna a blank look and turned his head again.
"And one last one - never call me brother! You can't start now, in case you can't change your mouth when your parents come, then it's all exposed! ”
"Brother? Can't you call it that? ”
"Absolutely not!"
"Uh-huh!" The girl chick pecked at the rice and nodded. "I remember, my sister."
"Didn't you say you couldn't call it!"
"But I didn't call you brother?" Salph pursed her lips and looked at him innocently.
Brandi suddenly realized something, and he lowered his head to look at his chest, which was propped up by the northern and southern hemispheres...... Only then did he realize what Luna had just said. Turning her head, Luna's face on the couch was flushed.
"Sister can't do it either!!"
Half an hour later, Brandy's shouts of shame could be heard from the room.
………………
After reluctantly accepting that he has a sister who looks about the same age as himself, the rest of the matter is easier to solve. After Brandi quickly ducked back upstairs and scrambled to undo all the strange special effects on her, the first thing to do was to take Sharf to the bathroom with a tough attitude - she was so dirty that she couldn't be said to have rolled in the mud. This was a bit unbearable for Brandi, who loved cleanliness......
He filled the bathtub with hot water, ran upstairs to find some clothes he had worn before, and stuffed them into the arms of a bewildered Sharf...... After telling her for a long time, she closed the bathroom door stupidly.
Luna...... I'm curious how the hell did you two get into the house......"
Although it is not ruled out that Daddy has given Self the key, he did not hear the sound of unlocking just now, and the door seems to have been pushed open directly.
Luna was casually watching the interstitial commercials playing on the TV in front of her, and the TV didn't make a sound at all due to the casual press of a button. Hearing Brandi's question, she turned her head in a trance.
"Huh? What are you talking about, the door is not locked? I was going to knock on the door, but as soon as I pushed my hand, the door opened on its own......"
It's really strange that Brandi only double-checked that the door was locked before going to bed yesterday. He didn't go out today, how could the door open on its own?
After thinking about it, he didn't understand the problem.
Luna's purpose this time was to surprise Brandi, and she had come to invite him to her home a few days before school started. This made Brandi very happy, although the two had only known each other for a few days, but through Condy's incident, he had an inexplicable crush on Luna, this girl, who looked a little eccentric, was actually an extraordinarily kind and strong person...... He thought that he might have to go to Hogwarts to have a chance to meet him, but he didn't expect that what Luna said to him before leaving was true, and she actually came to see him.
But what made him feel a little guilty was ...... He already had an appointment at that time. Ron had invited himself and Harry to his house for the holidays at the end of the semester, and he couldn't let anyone else's pigeons go.
To his surprise, Luna's reaction seemed to be a little calmer.
"Weasley?" Luna pondered. "Is it the Weasleys...... Well, I'll pick you up then, Brandy. ”
She naturally stood up and walked out in a trance. Brandi was left alone in a stupid daze.
Eh, weird, did I just make any pact with her?
