Life as Proto Merlin

Chapter-4

'My hand is still tingling...'

Clenching my fist, I thought to myself.

'Not to mention the veins.'

They truly were giving the feeling of burning. It was like that one vein sting you feel but magnified.

Merlin's left hand still hadn't recovered from the stunt she did early.

The reason she was mainly using her right hand to eat was that very same problem.

"Sis, does your left hand hurt?"

Ann titled her head slightly while stuffing her mouth with french fries and barbecue sauce.

I nodded, not aware of the line that would come out next.

"Don't just use your left hand. Use your right as well."

Again, my innocent self nodded, seemingly not understanding what she implemented, until-

'Wait. What does she mean by that-'

It was at that moment that it hit me like a log, I tore my gaze off from my left hand and towards my sister, who was smiling her signature smile.

"Why would you think that!?"

I pushed back strands of white hair that stuck around my forehead while asking that question with a questioning look.

She just smiled silly and went,

"Ehe~!"

The blonde kept muching on her extra large spicy fries, thinking about what to do next. Merlin sighed, drained enough to not ask her little sister anything about the previous question anymore.

She looked at the chicken and fries on her side of the table and released a deep breath.

'I prefer well-made delicacies more.'

Yet here she was, scarfing down fries like it was her favourite dish.

'But I must say, these chips are delicious- Wait a minute.'

Her inner Britannian self was showing itself.

That was how the trip to KFC went for the duo.

.....

"Her left hand seems to be suffering from a backlash." The man from the previous encounter held his chin as he thought about it for a moment.

"It seems her mana circuits haven't experienced an awakening yet. Perhaps she tried to channel her mana through the unawakened circuits..."

Uttering his hypothesis to himself while covering his mouth, the unknown man narrowed his eyes.

What he wasn't aware of was that many other people in the street were looking at him weirdly, some even thinking about calling the police.

"I should report this finding to the Association."

He turned away, not knowing that he just saved himself from trouble with the local police,

"Yet, to think that a girl with such potential went right under our nose."

He sniffled a laugh, walking away like the magus he is.

Still completely unaware that he saved himself from unnecessary trouble.

....

"Oh! This summer dress looks beautiful on you too!"

Ann clapped her hands together, seemingly more than happy to make her elder sister a dress-up doll, " Don't you think so too, Sis!?"

Sigh
