The Heir's Naughty Twins
20. Foreign Men

"Your voice sounds broken. Does your throat hurt?"

Yuveria directly held her neck and coughed forcefully. "No, Yuje-nii."

"Try to repeat."

His sister again tried the lyrics of a high-pitched song, but again it sounded not as comfortable as usual. He tried repeatedly, frustrated at not being able to until he flopped down on top of the yard and pouted.

"What are you thinking?" Yujerian came to bring warm tea for his sister.

Help her drink because she is too irritated to not want to hold a glass.

"Did you think of Chichi-ue again?"

Yuveria looked down listlessly. "Indeed Yuje-nii wasn't thinking about Chichi-ue? Haha-ue suddenly offended him. Isn't that our chance to ask?"

"Yuve, being curious about Chichi-ue and being curious is different from injuring Haha-ue."

"I want to know."

"I promise I'll find out what I can."

His sister is still lethargic. "If Chichi-ue is really a bad person, I'll beat him to death."

"I'll teach you how so just calm down now."

Yuveria drowned herself in Yujerian's arms. The older sister patted her sister on the back, kissing Yuveria's temple before taking her to her feet.

Rather than her pensive and moody so, it was better for Yujerian to take her for a walk.

Since he pocketed a lot of money from the results of yesterday's chess match, Yujerian invited him to go to the store to buy snacks.

His sister was still trying to hum along the way. Although there was an annoyance there, he created a light chant that was comfortable to hear.

Occasionally tucked in the lyrics he hates Dad but he misses, so if he shows up then Yuveria will strangle his neck.

Yujerian only laughed when he heard the younger brother comfort himself.

"Yuje-nii, I want a big squid-flavored snack! I want to eat everything myself!"

"Both, how?"

"alright. Both."

Yujerian bought a jar of savory squid-flavored snacks, then sat in front of the store enjoying it both.

They were just eating camilam when they suddenly saw Hinatsuru with Gamabunta—the call of a fat boy who started from Yuveria—'s mouth seemed to be walking with a foreign man.

"Yuje-nii."

Yujerian closed their snack jar. Hand it over to Yuveria before pulling the girl along with her.

The face of the man who came was foreign. Both of them know very well that there are rarely foreigners coming to this island, especially without prior notice.

Followed by the stranger, who seemed too familiar with Hinatsuru and Gamabunta.

"Yuje-nii, isn't Hinatsuru's house leading there?" Yuveria pointed at a direction that was indeed the house of Hinatsuru as well as the house of the village chief, Kitamura. "Why are they heading there?"

That is .. direction of their home.

"Come on." Yujerian pulled his sister's hand in the other direction, a shortcut to their home.

While the two of them were each hiding behind a fence, they heard what the man said.

"Is this really his house?"

"Yes, Uncle. Hesti-obachan lives here."

"They live with little kids, right?"

"Yes, Uncle. Yuuki and Yuui."

".... Then it's good." I heard the man's voice smiling. "See you later. Keep this a secret from anyone, okay?"

"Good!"

The sound of the two was already far away a sign of them running.

When feeling someone approaching the fence of her house, Yuveria quickly lunged.

Yujerian did not even have time to say carefully when his sister had jumped until the man fell down. With a plastic jar filled with their snacks, he hit the man's head hard.

"Yuve!"

His sister blinked innocently. "Shimatta," he said. [Gudge.]

Then grin without guilt. "My body moves on its own, Nii."
