(MC POV)
The two little brothers jumped at the sound of Elaria and Tsuki's angry voice and immediately ran to hide behind Brendan.
And of course, being the big brother that he was, Brendan had already stepped up to cover his little brothers from sight, especially when this was actually his first meeting with Elaria and Tsuki.
As a merchant, he knew about Elaria and Tsuki already but he has never met them in person before, so he most likely thinks they were completely hostile to everyone here.
The good thing was that only my little sisters were here and their usual lackeys were nowhere to be seen, so I'm guessing they either left them outside like usual or they came here on their own incognito.
Thinking that this was his fault, Brendan was already apologising to me while facing the two girls, "Master Lin, I apologise for bringing this problem to your store… If I had known that it would result in this, I would never--"
