CHAPTER 9

"Was your dorm that far?"

"Sensei... I was only gone for a while." The door slammed behind Satoru's back, yet his teacher remained stitching his new doll.

"Yeah, about two hours. Seriously, you gotta work on that habit." He scolded. "Where's she?"

"Asleep."

Yaga smiled endearingly, thinking she must have been so tired that she knocked herself out. He's glad she had fun. Seriously, he'd have to mark this date as his first Saturday fun day with her.

Satoru plopped down in front of him, rubbing his eye from strain. His eyes are still recovering from the excessive use on their last mission.

"Tell me everything." Yaga placed down his cursed corpse, straying his attention from it to him. "From the start."

Sighing away, he realized that it will all come to this point... so might as well spill the tea—since there are no other options.

"I was 12 years old when she was born..." He trailed, pondering. "...but I'm well aware of how the hierarchies work. The higher ups despise modernity and they abhor those who try to ignore their orders. So the fact that my sister's presence contradicts a knowledge that goes way further than a century, they worry that their beliefs will be rattled." He grinned.

His memories drifted in front of his mind.

"Suzura. I'll become the best brother... because I'm the best out here."

"If you really wanna become that... then Satoru, you have to listen to me, okay?" His mother caresses his cheeks, then pats his hair down, letting all tangles unravel.

"Mhm..."

"Your sister is special, just like you. You're both similar, but also one of a kind. So listen to me, okay? First, take her away from the sorcery world as much as you can. Second, protect her at all costs, especially from her." She planted a kiss on the top of his head.

"Why? Are they going to hurt her?"

"Perhaps. Anyone driven by their own malicious intent can ultimately hurt anyone in their path. It doesn't matter if they share the same blood as you or they have the closest relationship with you." Fumiko reasoned. "I'm sorry that the responsibility has been laid in your hands, Toru... but I'm counting on you."
