After choosing to leave, they regretted it.

"How are you? Are you hurt anywhere?"

"Yes, thank you, big brother..."

After the little girl was pulled up from the ground by Aize, she brushed off the dust on her body and rubbed the part that was hurt by being scratched. She looked a little embarrassed and panicked.

"Um... I'm so grateful to have been saved by my big brother again!!"

"That's fine, but what are you doing here? And since you recognized me, why didn't you ask for help when you saw me just now?"

When she was caught, the little girl didn't scream or make a fuss, and even avoided her sight when she saw herself.

If she hadn't happened to be standing at the door and been more careful, she would be in danger now.

Faced with these two questions, the little girl looked a little embarrassed:

"Um...I came here to look for big brother."

"Find me?"

She nodded vigorously.

"Yes, I wanted to thank you in person for what happened earlier. Alas, not only did I not get to thank you, but I was saved by you again. I'm... so sorry!!"

"I didn't do anything—"

Aize scratched his face in some trouble, turned around, and found Villian leaning against the door frame and staring at him with a malicious smile on her face.

Looking around, there are huge houses everywhere, belonging to the rich and powerful. It would be too conspicuous to speak here.

"Anyway...why don't you come in and sit down for a while?"

Chapter 44: Let’s just be a girl fan

The little girl who entered the house sat down in her seat. She seemed to be very uncomfortable with the atmosphere of the noble mansion. She looked very frightened and a little curious.

He was fidgeting and looking around, while carefully touching this and that.

When Aize walked into the kitchen, Villian, who had a smirk on her face, pulled him into a corner and whispered to him, shoulder to shoulder:

"You just pissed off your fiancée and you're hooking up with a new girl right after. Aize, you're such a jerk~"

Aize looked disgusted.

"Don't joke like that, I'm going to throw up!"

"And forget about ordinary girls, but what is this? **? It should be **, right? What do you want to do by bringing such a little girl home? ** maniac?"

"I... forget it, I'll just be a ** control freak."

Aize, who was already exhausted to the extreme, didn't want to say anything more. Villian wouldn't take it seriously anyway.

He took some ready-made biscuits, made two cups of tea, returned to the living room, put down his things, and sat down opposite the little girl.

The little girl quickly sat up straight and placed her hands on her knees obediently.

"Big Brother, are you... a noble?"

"No, I'm not. I'm just staying in this house temporarily for some reason."

As he spoke, Aize picked up the teacup and took a sip.

The battle with Heidi just now made me so thirsty that I didn’t even have time to drink some water.

The little girl followed suit and took a sip of the tea, but perhaps because it was too hot or she was not used to the taste of tea, her facial features suddenly twisted into a knot.

But even so, she still said in a trembling voice:

"Good...delicious, thank you..."

He was quite polite, but too reserved to speak. Aize looked in the direction of the kitchen.

"Can you get some juice?"

"Drink this."

As soon as he finished speaking, a glass of orange juice was placed in front of the little girl. Villian, who brought it over, sat down and squeezed in with Aize.

"Thanks……"

Seeing Villian suddenly appear, the little girl was stunned. After blinking, she asked:

"Who is the elder sister? Is she the elder brother's wife?"

"Yes, I am Ain's wife~"

These words made Villian in a good mood. She smiled brightly in an instant, put her arms around Aize's neck and made a V sign.

"How is it? Are we a good match?"

Completely ignoring Ain's dark expression and reluctance.

The little girl nodded seriously.

"Well, of course, the older sister is very beautiful, and the older brother is also handsome and powerful--"

As soon as these words came out, Villian's mood became even better, and her eyes almost sparkled with stars:

"That's right, my Ain is both handsome and powerful! Not only that, he's a genius, and incredibly cute... Oh, by the way, his name is Ain, and mine is Vivian. What's yours?"

The little girl put down the cup and lowered her head slightly:

"My name is Anna."

It's a pretty casual name, and there's no surname.

But considering her mixed-race identity, it's not surprising. It's likely that someone else just came up with the name and it became her name.

Aize nodded slightly, and just as he was about to say something, he was pushed into the corner of the sofa by the crazy Villian again, and a lot of tea in the cup in his hand spilled.

"Oh my, what a cute name! Good boy, good boy! I say, are you interested in knowing more about Ain? Don't look at him like that, actually..."

"Don't teach weird things to children!!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Aize stabbed Villian on the head. Villian, in pain, closed her mouth with tears in her eyes and stepped aside.

This guy is getting further and further away from the elegant image he had at the beginning.

Aize, who was becoming increasingly tired, sighed.

"Ahem, Anna, right? You said you came to Noble Street to see me?"

The little girl nodded seriously again.

"Yes! A few nights ago, I happened to see my older brother carrying my older sister on his back as they passed through the commercial street, so I followed them. However, as soon as we entered the noble district, we were stopped by the guards."

It was about the day when the two of them went on a "date".

At that time, my attention was only on Heidi, and I didn't expect that there was a little tail following her without me noticing.

I was indeed too lax at that time.

The little girl continued:

"These past few days, I've been waiting at the entrance to the noble district, hoping to see Big Brother, but unfortunately, I haven't been able to meet him."

"And then you snuck in here and got caught?"

The little girl - Anna nodded shyly.

Aize was secretly shocked.

This girl looks polite, well-behaved and sensible, but is she so bold?

"So, what do you want from me? Someone's causing trouble in your store again, and you want my help?"

Anna was stunned for a moment, then shook her head desperately:

"No, of course not! Ever since Big Brother taught the bad guys a lesson that day, no one has come to the store to cause trouble in the past few days!"

As she spoke, she took out a small bag from her somewhat worn clothes and handed it to Aize with both hands.

Aize took it curiously and weighed it.

It's heavier than it looks, and the feel and the clanking sound...

"money?"

"Yes! Our shop has been plagued by trouble, so we took the money and wanted to ask the Adventurer's Guild to send someone to stay in the shop permanently, but no one accepted the request..."

Of course no one would pick up the phone, because it was the guild that was behind this from the beginning.

The reason why it has quieted down now is because Aize’s previous actions have made the guild so overwhelmed that they have no time to take care of them anymore.

Anna didn't know this.

She looked into Aize's eyes and seemed a little nervous:

"But, Big Brother helped us! Big Brother was clearly injured so badly before, but he still helped us! So, Big Brother, please accept these!"

He spoke a sentence like reciting a text, with an extremely fast and somewhat discontinuous pace. Perhaps he had rehearsed it in his mind many times before finding himself.

Aize didn't rush to answer, but opened the package and looked at the contents inside.

About 30 silver coins are not a small amount of money. Even in a big city like Tafia, it is enough for an ordinary family's living expenses for several months.

For these mixed-race people whose lives are already difficult, this is an astronomical figure.

That day, when I was in extremely poor health, Anna, out of pure kindness, gave me some help within her ability.

When Aize took action at that time, he also meant to repay a favor.

Therefore, this thank-you gift cannot be accepted under any circumstances.

He tied up the purse again and put it back in front of Anna.

"It's just a small favor. No need to be so polite. I can't accept this money."

"But……"

"Your shop has no business, so it must be difficult to come up with such a large sum of money. I'm here... and I don't have to worry about food and clothing for the time being. You need it more than I do."

I added the word "temporarily" on purpose, otherwise it would seem like I'm planning to live off my wife for the rest of my life.

Villian understood what he meant and covered her mouth with her hands and laughed secretly, but Aize pretended not to see it.

Anna glanced at the purse on the table, stood up, picked it up with both hands, and handed it to Aize again.

"Big Brother, please accept this! You must repay a favor. That's what my sister has always taught me!"

Chapter 45 The Hybrid's Standpoint

Aize raised his eyebrows slightly:

"Sister? Yours?"

"Yes!"

"Sister?"

Anna shook her head.

"No, we live in the same village, but she watched me grow up, just like my own sister!"

The little girl looked very proud, her eyes twinkling, just like Villian just now.

"Big Brother, let me tell you, my sister is amazing! Not only does she work in the guild, but I heard she's also a top adventurer. Even the Duke would give her commissions~"

"Top adventurer?"

"Yes! My sister can easily defeat such a huge monster, let alone the bad guys. Even if dozens of people attack her together, they are no match for her!"

"Um……"

Aize nodded, but his stomach was grumbling.

The village Anna mentioned should be the settlement established by homeless mixed-race people near the city, which is quite common on the border.

99% of the people living in places like this are mixed-race, and that "sister" should be no exception.
