Yawning from sleepiness, I was walking with Yunyun and we are going to visit the book store again. Getting hurt during the quest is normal for adventurers so, we need something to heal of wounds and injuries. We need a healing potion which is normally exist in games but no one has made one yet. They use herbs to tend their wounds or hire a healer in their party. From my last quest, I ran out of mana which took me few days before I was able teleport back to the village. Manatite can be used to retain my Mana but it was quite very expensive. To solve my problems, I will make Healing and Mana potion myself. For this, I have to do some research on how to make potion first. That's why, I decided to go to the bookstore and look for a book about magic item crafting.
Glancing to my side, Yunyun looks happy while walking by side and holding my hand. Suddenly, my phone vibrates then I took it out from my pocket and there was a message from my little sister on another world.
[White Queen: Good morning, Onii-sama<3]
[Haru: Good morning too. Sounds like you have nothing to do.]
[Haru: Wait! Why is your name 'White Queen'?]
[White Queen: Same thing I want to ask Onii-sama. Why is your name different?]
[White Queen: Did you reincarnated as someone else too?]
[Haru: Nope, I'm just hiding my real identity.]
[Haru: When you just said, you reincarnated as someone else so, did you became White Queen?]
[White Queen: Yeah, seems like it. I'm currently hiding myself in the Neighboring World.]
[Haru: Where you able to use your Spirit abilities?]
[White Queen: I can. I have all the memories of the real White Queen after all. She wants to destroy everything but all I care is about Onii-sama now. Begone, Real White Queen! This new body is mine and I will offer it to Onii-sama!]
[Haru: Lolisa...]
[White Queen: I'll send you my selfie. What do you think, Onii-sama?]
[Haru: No matter how you look, you will be always cute to me. You're my little sister after all.]
[White Queen: CuteLittleSister.jpg]
It was a picture of my little sister in her and she looks beautiful in her new body. Her appearance is exactly like Tokisaki Kurumi because she's her inverse form.
[Haru: Niiice!]
[White Queen: Do you like me now?]
[Haru: Of course, I love you! You're my little sister after all.]
[White Queen: No, I mean as a girl.]
[Haru: Nope, only as a family.]
[White Queen: Onii-sama, I have a different body now so, that means, we're not blood related anymore.]
[Haru: Nope. You're always be my little sister.]
[Haru: Okay, I have something important to do. I'll talk to you later.]
[White Queen: I'll be waiting, Onii-sama<3]
I closed my phone and hid it inside my pocket.
I sighed, thinking about my little sister from the past. She used be more cute when her complex struck her. I think it's all my fault because she only have me when things always get rough on her. She has a disease in the heart and I'm the one who did everything for her sake to get her cured. She didn't trust anyone aside from me and her big sister because of her condition and she doesn't have any friends from her school before she dropped out.
"Is something wrong, Haru-kun?" Yunyun asked in worry.
"Nothing, I'm just thinking on something."
Arriving in front of the bookstore, we entered together inside when I noticed someone following us from behind from the bushes.
"Tch!"
I pulled Yunyun with me and hid to the side, waiting for the person who was stalking us.
"Haru-kun?"
"Sssh! Be quiet."
She turned red when I moved her close to me.
When someone entered after us, it was the little girl wearing a witch costume with flat chest.
"Huh?"
Looking around when she lost us then she found us staring at her side and she was caught surprise we found her out.
"Waaah!?" she became flustered.
"Megumin? What are you doing here?" Yunyun asked within this awkward atmosphere.
"Is not like I'm following you! It's just coincidence that I also came here to get some book!"
Knowing that she's obviously lying, I went to ask her some questions.
"What kind of book you're looking for?"
"Huh? Why would I tell you? It's none of your business!"
"If you're looking for a book about making your breast bigger, it's not available here."
Megumin intensely glared at me and she became very furious.
"What did you just say?! Damn you--"
Yunyun quickly grabbed her to stop her from attacking me.
"Haru-kun, please stop provoking her!"
"Come and fight me, you blonde bastard!"
"Yunyun, did you know this little girl has been following us since we left the inn. Didn't she think that I won't noticed?"
"Eh? Is that true, Megumin?" Yunyun looks surprised.
"Stop calling me little girl! I'm not tailing you two!" she looks embarrassed while trying to lie on us.
"Let's go, Yunyun. Let's just leave her alone and ignore her."
I sighed, grabbing Yunyun's hand then I pulled her with me.
"Wait, Haru-kun!"
Megumin was seething at me as we walks away from her.
While looking together at the shelves, I took all the books related about magic items then we carried it to the counter.
"That's a lot of books, Haru-kun."
"I like reading but some of the books here are just references."
The books are packed on the counter then I payed with a small bag full of coins. The bookstore owner lend us their small cart and I pulled things I brought with us.
"Thanks you for buying!"
We went out of the store, going to the direction of our inn when I saw the Loli witch following us from behind without buying anything from bookstore.
I'm kind of disappointed in her when she was trying to lie on us and didn't tell her real motive. Seeing her, I just turned my eyes away from her and continued walking forward with Yunyun.
"Haru-kun, can you get along with her? Megumin is not a bad person. She has a bad temper and quickly gets angry when provoked, she's like a friend to me." Yunyun spoke with a sad tone, trying to convince me.
"I know. She's your best friend, right?"
"Best friend?"
Yunyun's eyes widened hearing the word.
"It's higher form of friendship. It is a person who's closest and dearest to you. She's always there when you're in distress."
"But Megumin keeps telling me that she's not my friend?"
"She just won't admit it and not being honest with you. In other words, she's a pain in the ass. You already known her for a long time, right?"
"Yes, we known each other from the academy."
"When she found out that you're with a guy like me, she immediately came and follow us out of worry."
Glancing behind together,
"Look, she didn't bought anything from the bookstore. Her eyes are glued at me the whole time--"
"Megumin!!"
Yunyun quickly became excited and rushed towards Megumin, and she hugged her. She looks really happy that she became teary-eyed.
"Megumin! Megumin! Megumin! I never thought you think of me like that! You're really are my best friend!!"
"Huh? What are you talking about?" Megumin looks confused.
"Haru-kun said that you're worry about me and you came to follow us!"
"What?!! I'm not worried about you!"
"Hehehe... Just be honest, Megumin. You think of me as your best friend too, right?"
"Stop hugging me!"
Megumin became very embarrassed.
Seeing me, grinning at her, she became more furious.
"This is all your doings, you bastard! What are you planting in her mind!"
I turned back in front and walked forward as I ignored the two of them.
"My best friend, Megumin!"
"Stop it! We're not!"
