=== Cynthia ===

We went away from this snowy continent, and head to the east...

In the sky...

"Brother"

"Hm?" Brother

"Can we... can we just take a walk before reaching that place?"

Actually... being held by him too much giving me strange sensation... feeling it too much would make me love him as a girl... not as a sister... and this will trouble him later...

"Sure? But why?" Brother

"Em..."

Great... how do I say that to him... I'd better find another excuse...

"Em... I want to move my body... being held by you like this... I'm afraid that I'll even forgot how to walk later"

"*Laugh* alright... that's a funny excuse... but sure... it's good for our health btw" Brother

Great, he agreed...

We are taking a shortcut to the raging sea's shore... so we will walk across some grassland and forest... it's better than walk across the shore...

In the way...

He do the hunt and cook... I didn't even do anything... this won't do...

"Brother..."

"Yes, Cynthia?" Brother

"Can you... teach me... how to fight?"

=== Shio ===

"Eh? But why?"

"I... I don't want to be a burden... and... if something like when we were in that lake happened again... I can try to protect myself" Cynthia

Huh? First she wanted to take a walk, and now she want to know how to fight?

[Why not give a check to her?] Reina

[A check?]

[Just like what you did to your other Brother and Sister] Reina

[It's not like that I'm not willing to check it... but why? Did she afraid that I'll leave her?]

[No, you are wrong] Reina

[Then?]

[Huh... you sure didn't understand how a girl's feeling] Reina

Eh?

"Could you?" Cynthia

"Em... I could... but... I'd never think you as a burden... and I can protect you... why do you want to know how to fight?"

"..." Cynthia looks sad

"Tia?"

"I... I want to be useful... always being protected like this... can't do anything... I feel so useless... I feel like a weigh that hold you down..." Cynthia

"Uh..."

How do I reply to this...

"I want to fight along with you..." Cynthia

"You know it's dangerous to fight together with me... you might be hurt"

Hearing me say that, she stopped walking...

"You... You afraid that I'll be hurt?" Cynthia

I look to her

"Yes..."

"Then... DON'T YOU THINK I'LL ALSO AFRAID THAT YOU'LL GET HURT!?" Cynthia started to cry

"..."

"*Cover her face* *sob sob* you always protects me... you take all the responsibilities... *sob sob*... IT'S NOT YOURS! It's not yours.... *sob sob* that responsibility isn't yours... it's not yours to handle alone..." Cynthia
