"...."
"I-I faa..ha..iiinn" Eli tried to speak up and tried to lift his body but,
'tear'
'tttrrrr'
His Body muscles are fully torn but he still maintained his consciousness; he bite his lips so that he would not scream but his lips trembled so that anyone could guess what he was trying.
Seeing this for the first time Adriana felt pain in her heart and Zera really pitied him, 'He shouldn't have used that technique'.
"Big 'sob' Brother 'sob'" Mia felt her heart torn apart.
"Y-You bastard" suddenly someone shouted.
Everyone turned to look at Scylla who walking near Eli.
"Don't go..." Adriana tried to stop her but,
"You said you won't leave me unless I want..." Scylla shouted.
"..."
"Please..." Scylla wanted to see his warm and gentle smile.
Scylla lifted his hands and drew some magic circles,
/"Negative Flow"/
Her dull eyes shined a little as the magic circle activated, 'come on please work, please work...' Scylla rumbled inwardly.
Very slowly Eli's blood and wounds started to heal or more like returned to his previous state.
Red marks or pimples started to appear on Scylla's body at a rapid rate and soon blood flowed from her nose but she only focus on Eli, 'Just a little more, little more, little more...'.
Soon enough Eli's body returned to its previous state.
~pant~
~pant~
Scylla breathed heavily and fall onto her knees.
Adriana and Mia went towards Eli and checked his body. Sighed in relief, everything is fine he just lost consciousness.
Then Adriana picked him up like a princess-style style and walked towards his tent. Mia also followed her.
Zera tried to help Scylla but Scylla shrugged it off.
Zera frowned soon she shrugged off and went walked inside the tent; Scylla followed her afterwards.
"How he is now?" Mia asked worriedly as looked at Eli who was lying on the mat.
"He is fine, just needs some rest" Adriana said while rubbing his chin.
"Maybe...he needs a Healing potion," Mia said as she took the Healing potion but,
"No...His body is fully healed. He needs mental rest" Adriana stopped Mia.
"..." Mia frowned a little but she trusted her master.
Soon Zera and Scylla walked into the tent.
"Who are you?" Adriana asked indifferently at Scylla.
"..."
"You won't speak?" Adriana turned to look at Scylla who was simply started at Eli.
"..."
"Hey, I am asking you" Adriana released her killing intent.
"..."
Soon Scylla fall onto her knees as she started sweating but still, she only looked at Eli.
"..."
Scylla's nose started to bleed again, seeing this Adriana sighed, 'Why is everyone around him like this?...'.
"Ok, you two can go out and hunt 9-Star Monsters" Adriana ordered Mia and Zera.
"B-But.."
"I will take care of him" Adriana said softly to Mia.
and some persuasion from Zera, Mia reluctantly left Eli's side.
*****
During hunting,
"Do you angry at me, Mia?" Zera asked with anxiety.
"..."
Mia then looked at Zera for a few seconds then,
"No, I am not" Mia said smiling but it was sad.
"..."
"Do you love him that much?" Zera questioned her.
"Yes, I love him so much that if he wants my life I gladly give it to him" Mia said solemnly with...heart broken.
"...I see, But I don't think he will.."
"I lost my father...
I don't know what My Big Brother suffered for so many years but I do know that My Big Brother is avoiding me for certain reasons....
but I don't care that much, all I wanted was to be with him, even if he has someone he likes" Mia said lonesome and inwardly, 'All I want is his happy, bright smile, that is enough for me..'.
"..."
"Well, let's finish it faster" Mia said as started to hunt.
*****
After Mia and Zera were left, only Adriana and Scylla were inside the tent.
"What exactly happened between you two?" Adriana asked while holding Eli's Left hand.
"..." Scylla simply stared at Eli while she held the other hand.
"So, you won't speak to anyone?" Adriana frowned.
"..."
"You.think.I.won't.Kill?" Adriana suddenly grabbed Scylla's throat and she lifted Scylla.
"..." Scylla now looked at Adriana but soon she lowered her eyes.
"Tsk" Adriana released her grip and went to Eli's side.
'Tsk, Her mind is totally blank as if she doesn't care about anything' Adriana thought as glanced at Scylla.
Adriana and then glared at Eli, 'So, she is the next one?'.
*****
Soon night-time came and Everyone sat around Eli.
"It's almost half a day..." Mia asked worriedly as she held his hand.
"..."
"..."
"..."
Everyone was silent.
['Mom, I...'] Zera.
['It's Okay, My baby didn't do anything wrong'] Adriana gently patted Zera's back.
"Urhh"
"Big Brother?" Mia was the first one to react.
Eli opened his groggy eyes half and looked at Mia's happy and teary eyes. Without knowing he smiled warmly and gently touched her face as he said,
"Little Mia, you have grown into a fine woman"
Mia suddenly froze as her eyes widened before she could say anything she was pulled into Eli's embrace.
"Huh?" Mia's mind cannot keep up with reality.
"I am not giving you to anyone"
'~chu~'
Eli said as he hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead.
"HUH...?" Mia's face fully flushed looks like smoke coming from her head.
"...wa...wa....wa...wa..." Mia's mind totally messed up but she hugged tightly and tears started to leak out, 'What is happening here? What should I do? Does he remember everything?...' she rumbled inwardly.
Eli then slowly closed his eyes but,
'cough'
Someone coughed.
Eli then with half-open eyes looked at Mia's beet-red face.
"O, My Little Mia is sick...." Eli said something.
Mia was the one who understood what it means and finished his sentence, "....One kiss from big brother will make it go away".
Mia puckered her lips and closed her eyes.
"Oh, Now she wants on the lips" Eli said half conciously.
Mia's face turned bright red and Eli also slowly moved towards her.
'Ba-dump'
'Ba-dump'
'Ba-dump'
Feeling his breath near her face, Mia's heart beats very fast that it may burst out.
'~chu~'
