"…Foolish Rocco. Don't throw around promises like 'I'll do anything' so carelessly," Sylas scolded him sharply.
Rocco was used to being called a fool by Sylas on a daily basis, so the insult didn't spark his usual reactions of "Fool?!" or "What did you just say?!"
Instead, he simply blinked his eyes in confusion, his inner thoughts contradicting Sylas's words.
What nonsense is he spouting?
I'm not a fool—I'm a super-cool and awesome big brother.
After a brief moment of blinking, Rocco gave Sylas a carefree smile.
He didn't entirely understand the meaning behind Sylas's words, but one thing was clear: it was time to sell Sylas some flattery.
This was the perfect opportunity!
"But! I really mean it! If it's for you, Brother, I can do anything!"
"Wha—?"
"For my brother's sake, I'd do anything—this and that too! No problem!"
