The cold air in her body began to escape.
Red flames surrounded them.
As she lost strength, her vision became blurred.
Eve tried again and again to fix her shaking legs.

Then, he let out a small laugh.

“It’s pretty pathetic of you to struggle to live, but it’s no use.”

“I, I…”

“I’m not merciful enough to listen to your last words.”

The flames around them intensified as if they didn’t need to listen anymore.
The snow in the forest, which had piled up for years, began to melt.

It's all because of this man.

Perhaps he was already convinced that Eve had kidnapped Rachel.

She wanted to complain about his injustice, but she had something to tell him first.

Eve exclaimed with all her might.

“Listen…”

“You shouldn't move…”

“Listen to me till the end…”

Eve grabbed the man's wrist.
Heat rushed into her body.
It was then, when she thought she might lose her mind.
The flames that surrounded them quickly diminished.

Noelier's red light went out, too.
As if someone had poured a lot of water.

He looked at Eve with astonishment.

“You…”

“Oh, crazy..….” Eve murmured curses.

She thought she wanted to hit her head with an apple, but she couldn't.
It was because she had used up all her energy.

​A blizzard that flew faintly.
A dark night.
A figure of a blurred man as if he was divided into several people.

Eve continued, stuttering.
“My brother, I, protect….”

“….What?”

“Even if you give billions of gold, it’s not enough….it’s bad…”

At the last of her words, Eve collapsed.

Noelier grabbed her quickly and looked down at her with confused eyes.

It was a fire that burned even his parents to death.
He thought he might even disappear in this fire later on.
It was so powerful that no one could stop it.

But with one touch from her, it disappeared.
How the hell?

It was then when he looked at her, who had fallen down, with confused eyes.

“…Sister!”

He heard a familiar voice from afar.

Noelier rose from his position with her in his arms.

It was his sister, Rachel, who he had been looking for so much.

“Don't bother my big sister, you jerk!”

But somehow, it seemed that the person he was desperately searching for had changed.

Noelier couldn't believe the situation and looked at her with a blank face.

Rachel, the root of all these incidents, did not yet seem to know that the man wearing the cloak was her brother.

There was no hesitation in rushing toward the two.
Rachel's face was wet with tears.

‘Still, it’s worth being like this.
Coming and saving me like this….’

Eve had such a fleeting thought in the midst of losing consciousness.

She could hear a voice shouting, but she gradually lost consciousness and she couldn’t hear it well.

“Sister!”

After Rachel's crying voice, Eve closed her eyes completely.

Read only at Scaredy Bunny Translations please.

I heard the sound of the window rattling.
I slowly opened my eyes to the familiar noise.
The familiar wooden ceiling indicated that this was home.

‘Is this a dream?’ I blinked blankly.

‘I’m sure I met a man and he attacked me….?’

The problem is that I can’t tell whether the situation was a dream or what I saw was a dream.

‘Ah! Come to think of it!’

A scene suddenly flashed through my head, like a detective kid with a small stature, but a genius brain.*

‘That crazy dragon!’

He didn’t do anything weird to the kids, did he?

At the same time as I thought of it, I jumped up.

“Sister!”

“Sister!”

“Ack!”

Instead of getting up, because of Zion and Rachel, who suddenly came into my arms, I almost went to the other world.

“Oh no, I’m sorry, sister.
Are you all right?”

“Are you okay, sister?”

“No, I’m all right.
Would you like to get up first?”

You've grown a lot, these rat drops*……

I tried to smile, but I struggled because of the pain.
The children, who quickly fell away from me, sat glued to the wooden bed and looked at me with tears threatening to spill from their eyes.

“How are you feeling?” Rachel asked with a worried face.

“Well, it's all right.
Thanks for your concern.”

“That’s a relief,” said Rachel.
Her face softened a little.

“Huk..” Zion’s tear glands seemed to have loosened along with the tension.
Tears began to well up in his big eyes.

“I, I thought my sister was going to die…”

As Zion cried, Rachel rolled her eyes.

“Fool, why are you crying? You woke up like this.”

“I was so scared.”

“Aren’t you the only one who’s scared?”

She was pretending to be brave, but Rachel was also whimpering.

“Um…”

“Ugh….”

The children, who glanced at each other's crying faces, began to cry as soon as their eyes met.

The hardest thing to do is stopping the cries.

“Don’t cry, huh? I’m fine.”

I hurriedly got out of bed and opened my arms wide toward the children.
Then the children hugged me as if they were waiting.

“My sister, I'm afraid you won't be able to open your eyes, and I'm afraid you’re….”

​ “If you go away before you even become my sister…”

“Don't go, sister.”

“Don't go, sister.”

“……”

‘Aren’t you letting me go too easily, guys?’*

​The children were busy rubbing their faces in my arms, uttering unknown words.
Seeing that their collars were wet, it seemed that the amount of tears they had endured was quite large.

I smiled and patted the children on the back.

How long has it been?

The children, who had calmed down a little, fell out of my arms.

It was time to pat their cheeks playfully because their puffy, swollen eyes were lovely.

Zion sniffed and said, “He went out for a while.
He said he’ll come back soon.”

“Brother?”

“Yes,” said Zion, pursing his lips.

Only then did I realize who “brother” was.

Little Red Riding Hood’s brother.

A dragon that could not withstand the power of his own overflowing fire, destroying himself.
The beginning of this impoverished novel!

I remembered the situation before I collapsed.

There must have been a tremendous fire surrounding me.
I tried telling him that I was protecting Rachel, but he didn’t want to listen and tried to kill me.

Those eerie red eyes…

The more I remembered, the more I got goosebumps.

‘He was about to kill me, so I grabbed him by the wrist, and then…….’

Yes.
I fainted.
In an instant.

‘It felt like he was absorbing the power of my body.'

​Come to think of it! I quickly examined my head.
And my buttocks.
Fortunately, nothing was there.
My ears and tail seemed to be well hidden.

‘I haven’t been caught yet?’

It seemed that the roasting time* could be delayed a little.

It was then when I breathed a sigh of relief.
The door opened with the sound of an old wooden door creaking.

“The door opens so easily…….”

A man with black hair and red eyes.

He came into the house, muttering faintly.
My eyes met with the man who had crumpled his forehead, shaking off a bunch of snow on his shoulder.

“….”

Oh, dear God.

“…You’re up.
I was worried about what would happen if you didn’t wake up,” the man with a crumpled face said to me.

“….”

However, I couldn’t open my mouth easily.

The moment I met those red eyes, I could only think of this word in my head.
That’s right.

‘Damn!’

It was a curse.

‘Aren’t I swearing too much?’

I thought about it, but I had no choice but to curse.

Of course, Rachel’s appearance was so perfect, so I had imagined that her brother must have also looked perfect.
But this was more than that.

‘You didn’t say you were this handsome, did you?’

I thought the appearance of the Northerners were praise-worthy in their own way, but it was an illusion created by my narrow view.

Is this why we need to experience a wider world?

I stared blankly at him, forgetting that I almost died by his hands.

soliven’s Notes:

Detective Conan reference, I think. I think I’ve mentioned it in the forum before.
The character used for rat drops roughly translates into cuties.
In the coming chapters, I’ll use cuties or babies instead. They’re thinking of her death too easily. Roasting time — I think this refers to her death in the OGnovel
