Chapter 315 Tea Party (2)
And though I had woken up because of Celes\'s loud, cheerful voices in my head, the way this big tiger cheerfully jumped on us had caused quite the commotion.
The loud voices were enough to wake everyone up and even Rein, whose lap I was sleeping on, was surprised by this wonderful big cat\'s behavior.
The wooden bench we were sitting on had fallen back and we were on the ground just after we woke up and... well, that was quite something.
But right now, that same big kitten had turned small, drinking fresh milk while wearing a pink skirt and a flower princess crown on her head.
And that one, that special tiara that this ferocious purple rank creature was wearing had pink heart-like flowers on it, making this kitten look soooooo lovely that my dear mom who set just beside her couldn\'t help but gently caress her body to express her boundless love.
Zoe sat beside me in just the same spectacular bright orange dress as her hair which seemed like the fire itself, adored with golden embroidery which was actually done with pure gold threads, was covered with the red flame diamonds.
Mom specially brought these jewels that were hard to get in this whole empire, just for this marvelous daughter of hers.
Mom loved Zoe, as much as Anna and me.
Not just because she was the daughter of the person that I called grandma and master but also because she was a lovely kid one can\'t help but adore.
Zoe was just that charming. And aside from the fact that she has a great affinity with fire, there was nothing much special about her. At least no one can sense anything more than that from her. And actually, she was so normal to the ordinary senses that she seemed just like Anna. A normal young child.
Which... was the best thing for the people in this house~.
She was just like Anna to them ever since she had arrived here.
They adored her, and as cheerful and lovely as she was, no one could help but cherish her.
She wasn\'t a battle maniac like the usual children of this house. And she didn\'t have any interest in the weapon or magic like us. Or was she much interested in books and studying that she would forget the world.
Well, she was so talented that if she wanted, she can cast any spell she wanted or perform any complex fighting technique just after seeing it once.
But, this sister of mine loved spending time with other people in this house.
She loved watching people do their work, talking with them if she was interested in their small work, and helping them whenever she can.
She helped all the people in this house. Anyone who just needed even a slight bit of help.
And even though she was shy at our first meeting, when we came here, she had changed completely in just a single day.
She was cheerful, talkative, lovely, and someone who just loved watching every new and fascinating thing.
Just like a child seeing the world for the first time.
She was adorable... and they all loved her just like Anna now.
Zoe was with my aunts most of the time and she was now part of their small gang.
I did spend a lot of time with them but, I had many things that I had to do and because of it, Zoe was with them far longer than me.
And they were overjoyed to have not only me but also her now.
Zoe and Anna were naturally best friends now. And also almost inseparable.
They were so close now that I sometimes thought they were even closer to each other than they were to me.
And even though it hurts to know that... well, I was happy.
If my two darling sisters were happy, then I am happy too.
Zoe was now everyone\'s favorite and her dress was also a great piece of art~.
All three of these adult ladies had poured their hearts to dress this young sister of mine this spectacularly.
Anna was on my right side, Zoe on my left. Besides Anna who served her great guest\'s warm tea was the happily milk-drinking cat or little tiger.
Then there was my dear mom, happily playing with Taiga the little tiger, and Clover the spirit cat who loved being patted by my mom and Anna.
Beside mom was Mr. Rice, a teddy bear who was happily drinking water... actually drinking, even though he looked just like a normal doll.
Well, everyone knew that I gave this one to her so, they wouldn\'t even feel strange if this little teddy could use magic or other weapons.
It definitely could, no doubt about that. It could even turn into a weapon of the highest normal grade.
It resulted from a high phoenix\'s lifelong research so, this teddy bear was naturally that amazing.
And it can drink water, its secondary energy source.
It looked happy, and it was lovely seeing a cute little teddy bear drink simple mineral water with that adorable delighted face.
I was counting counterclockwise so after him was my first aunt and beside her was my second aunt, and after her was the last person who I couldn\'t take my eyes away from even after trying with my whole heart.
But this heart bastard was insisting on keep looking at her.
Just one more glance, for just a moment, minute, maybe hours... and continue looking at her breathtaking beauty.
Cloths sure had a grand impact on one\'s perception of other people and the girl, the dear friend that I always saw in a normal atter all the time, with no makeup whatsoever, with just a simple appearance suited for training or hunting, looked so… breathtaking right now that I could not look away from her.
I don\'t want to even if I can.
She looked just that spectacular…
