I just hope to live a leisurely life in the world of anime.

But raising a little girl is such a hassle...

He quickly took two steps forward, leaped forward, and finally tackled them. The three of them tumbled to the ground in a tangled mess.

"Eh... so Brother Anshu likes outdoor play and stuff?"

Not knowing how to roll over, Sima Weizhi arched her body and pressed down on An Shu. The two looked at each other face to face, and even though they were an old married couple, they still blushed.

Although we haven't even had sex yet... well! Never mind, let's not talk about that for now!

The atmosphere suddenly became ambiguous, and the girl mustered up her courage and kissed him.

"Wow... Miori-chan..." An Shu reached out and cupped her little face, gently touching it, as if she wanted to say something.

"Miori-neechan! Onii-chan! You two... you've really gone too far! I'm never talking to you again!"

The little girl, who had been accidentally thrown off during the tumbling, finally cried out and rubbed her head in grievance.

She hadn't been bandaged when she arrived, and as she spoke, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

"Hey! Are you alright, Hitomi-chan?" The two who were about to be all lovey-dovey finally snapped out of it, scrambled to their feet, and came to her side, each hugging her on one side!

The little girl just disappeared! I almost forgot about her!

"Something's wrong! I hate you two the most! Humph!" An Tong puffed out her cheeks, as if she was sulking.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! What can I do to make Hitomi forgive me and your sister Miori?" Anshu asked, nuzzling her cheek and trying to appease her.

"Unless...unless you and Sister Miori each kiss me! Humph!" The little girl puffed out her non-existent chest, looking completely self-righteous!

It's not like I'm the one who's at a disadvantage!

An Shu chuckled inwardly and hurriedly did as she was told, afraid that the girl might change her mind. She even tapped the grinning girl on the shoulder.

"Hmph! I forgive you this time! Hugs!"

"Hmm!" Before the little girl could react, An Shu hugged the loli and lifted her up. "Hitomi-chan is mine! Miori-chan, you're not allowed to hug her anymore! You just threw Hitomi-chan out!"

"Ugh... It's clearly Anshu-nii's fault! Hitomi-chan, how about I hug you, Miori-neechan? I promise I won't make the same mistake again!"

"Hmm, okay then... yeah!"

An Tong was about to agree when her brother pinched her bottom, making her blush and not finish her sentence. Then he turned and ran with her, saying on her behalf, "Tong-chan said no!"

"Nonsense! Tong-chan was about to agree, Brother Anshu, give Tong-chan back to me!"

"No way! Hitomi-chan wants me to hug her! Hahaha!"

"Come back here right now!"

……

###Chapter Sixty: A Night Without a Moon###

“Brother Anshu, it’s getting dark! What should we do?”

"Isn't it all your fault?" An Shu tapped Sima Weizhi's head irritably. After that, An Shu felt it wasn't enough, so she put the little girl down and rubbed her baby face. "You chased after me! You made me not notice that I went the wrong way!"

"Hehe!" The girl didn't mind. Seeing him let go, she grabbed the empty phone and pulled An Tong into her arms. "Tong-chan is mine now!"

An Shu was annoyed by her silly grin, so she patted the other's head and said helplessly, "Let's rest first, we should be there soon!"

"Oh! But why is there no moon at night? There are stars everywhere! And no clouds either!" Holding the little girl, Sima Weizhi looked up and peered at the sky through the gaps in the leaves, wondering if there was no moon in this other world.

"I don't know! Maybe it's just the weather?"

……

"How can there be no moon?"

On the other side, a man with clown makeup on his face also squinted and looked up at the sky, muttering to himself, "Why did the Gospels lead me here?"

Never mind... He shook his head, his thoughts returning to the man he had met today, who was unbelievably handsome!

"Spatial magic..." he murmured again, then quickened his pace.

……

In the forest, a village is brightly lit.

Inside a wooden house, two sisters snuggled together in bed.

"Sister, why isn't there a moon tonight?"

They are clearly twins, but for some reason the blue-haired girl is the younger sister.

"I don't know, Rem, go to sleep. We'll go mushroom picking together in the back mountains tomorrow."

Perhaps red-haired girls are better at taking care of people?

"But sister...didn't you promise the clan leader you'd practice magic tomorrow?"

"Who cares!"

"Whoa—whoa—" A short but sharp sound rang out, interrupting what the younger sister was about to say.

"Enemy attack!" A furious roar rang out from an unknown direction, followed by a massive explosion!

……

At the entrance of the village.

"What a beautiful day! The witch is blessing us!"

All that could be heard was a woman's voice, hidden beneath a black robe. Her face was obscured, with only the slightly upturned corners of her lips visible.

Nodding to the believers who had returned from scouting, she waved her hand, "Charge! Charge!"

……

"Ram, Rem, you two stay home! Find a place to hide and don't move around. Mom and I are going out to help!" A deep baritone voice instructed the two girls from outside the wooden door.

"Ram, take good care of Rem!"

A female voice then rang out, followed by a series of departing footsteps before they could even respond.

"Sister..." The blue-haired younger sister was a little scared, curled up, and gently tugged at her older sister's clothes.

"It's alright..." She patted her younger sister's back and gently comforted her.

……

"It's the Witch Cult!" The aura emanating from them had already alerted Roswaal, who was hiding in the shadows, to their identities.

"Those are the Oni race? Did the Oni race offend the Witch Cult?" He narrowed his eyes again. He was no stranger to the demi-humans who fought against the Witch Cult.

After all, not everyone can have those two horns on their forehead!

……

Damn it! The sound is getting closer!

Inside the room, the red-haired older sister frowned, and for some reason, she had a bad feeling.

"Rem, come here!" He pulled his younger sister over and shoved her under the bed. "Rem, be good, stay here and don't come out. I'll be right back!"

"Sister...I'm scared..."

"Good girl..." She forcibly turned her head away, ignoring her sister who was about to cry.

If they don't go out and lure the enemy away, they might be fine if they are discovered, but Rem might be in grave danger.

Although I possess considerable magical power, I don't yet know how to use it skillfully. What if I fail to protect my sister...?

"Rem, don't come out! I'm just going to check! Wait for me to come back!" She forced a smile, trying to encourage her sister who was lying under the bed.

"Hmm... Sister, come back soon..." The younger sister mustered her courage and kept telling herself to be strong!

"Ok!"

……

"Quick! A fight has broken out up ahead!"

There shouldn't be any human villages in this primeval forest, so it must be the territory of the Oni tribe. Judging from the scale of the battle, this one is quite large.

Was it really an attack by the Witch Cult?

"Ahead?" The girl didn't ask any more questions, but she could hear the urgency in An Shu's tone.

She may be mischievous at times, but she will never be willful when it matters!

"Tong-chan, hold me tight!" An Shu said, nuzzling the little girl's head in her arms.

"Ok!"

……

"Um……"

Should we make a move?

Roswaal was very confused, not knowing what the Gospels really meant. Couldn't the instructions be made more straightforward?

"never mind……"

The person from noon should still be in this forest, right? Judging from his tone, he seems to know that genius girl from the demon clan. With his strength, he shouldn't be unaware of the fighting here. Let's just wait and see.

At noon, if it weren't for the Gospels urging me on, I would have liked to chat with him a little longer.

……

"elder sister……"

Under the bed, the blue-haired little girl clutched the hem of her clothes tightly, revealing her inner unease.

She wiped away her sweat; the room seemed to be getting hotter and hotter.

Could something have happened to my sister?

Perhaps one can disregard the parents who wanted to burn them alive when they were born, but one absolutely cannot ignore the only sister who loves one so much.

"Should we go out and take a look?"

"But my sister told me to stay here."

She muttered to herself softly, the sounds of battle, flames, and the screams of her people outside disturbing her anxious mind.
