"What do you mean, brother? A major event is about to happen soon?"

After being abruptly sent away by Tempus, I head straight to the inn to inform my anxiously waiting sister about the situation.

"It might sound strange coming from your inept brother... but you have to believe me. The Goddess of Time has forewarned of a disaster..."

I stress the urgency and seriousness of the situation with a solemn expression unlike any other time before.

"The Goddess of Time... the advisor you mentioned before?"

Yura, still not fully grasping the situation, looks puzzled but tries her best to adopt a serious demeanor.

"Yeah... she herself will be causing the trouble, and it's going to be big... So, we have to be vigilant in everything we do for a while..."

My words seem to awaken some understanding in her as she conjures a small fox flame in her hand, smiling.

"So... it means I have to protect you, right?!"

Despite the impending danger, her face is inexplicably lit up with a mischievous grin.

"The gods will be clashing, willing to kill each other... Depending on the situation, I might need your protection, but it's a bit different than that..."

"A world of the survival of the fittest? You just said that, didn't you? So, it means being strong is what counts, right?"

Honestly, I want to correct her somewhere, but she isn't exactly wrong, so I find myself at a loss for words.

"My experience might be limited... but I think I have an idea of what to do. I'm not sure how strong is strong enough in this world, but I'm quite powerful, aren't I?"

Yura possesses the magic of the Fox God, capable of harnessing the peak power of her kind. She may be different in origin, but as far as this world is concerned, she is certainly a divine entity.

"So, using my power to protect you is the plan, right?"

"Although I'd appreciate that... it also feels a bit wrong. Relying on my sister like this... makes me feel somewhat inadequate."

I half-jokingly throw out the comment, but her response is surprisingly earnest. "No...! You're not inadequate at all! There's no man as wonderful as you, brother!"

Yura reacts with a bit of indignation, negating my self-doubt.

"Uh... what?"

Her sudden change in demeanor catches me off guard, leaving me momentarily speechless.

"Think of it this way... when we were younger, I was always protected and dependent on you...! Consider this as me repaying your kindness!"

She grasps my hands with her own, her eyes softly pleading, which makes me feel slightly sad about my own self-deprecation.

"I'm just unique... you've never been inadequate, brother!"

I realized I shouldn't even joke about putting myself down in front of Yura...

"Okay, okay, calm down. I wasn't seriously wallowing in self-loathing or anything..."

It took some effort to reassure her, but fortunately, the gloomy atmosphere dissipates, and she manages to hold back her tears.

"That's good then! But if you really feel bad about being protected by me..."

She then leans into me slowly, making herself comfortable, though not too heavily, gradually increasing the weight I support.
