"Hm? I'll be alright. Because, onii-chan will take me as your bride right?" She innocently asked, surprising her. The man only smiled at her and gently picked her up.

"You're right. We're already promised, right?" He gave her a gentle kiss on her cheek. "You and I will be together forever. Well, I still have to wait another five or six years for you to grow up. Until then... Protect your pure and innocence heart for me because... I will be the one taking all of that from you"
