Everyday, I Fight!

Chapter 3: Taming The Wild Child

So this was the next brat. Her name's Helen, my 3rd Elder sister.

Despite the small stature she had, her face of calmness only indicated the dangers ahead and with her personality, I turned out to be right after all! She IS here to bully me!!!

Well, even so, I guess she's not much of a threat per say... just a chess piece?

Ah~ah, why do I remember those pathetic events of my past life, now?! It's not like I even miss that damn place!

A place... so... useless to speak, clueless to struggle, and painless to breathe. For someone who only had one option in life, nothing accomplished whatsoever, I can't really brag about it. After all, a criminal, is who I am.

Reincarnated? Looks like a joke.

... No, a dream. When I wake up, everything will return to that nightmare. I can't help thinking how horrible I'll feel.

*CRE~AK*

Suddenly, my thoughts got jumbled as the door burst open and tore down like scraps of paper. I couldn't help thinking how awesome it was.

Like red lightning and the buzz sound that immediately followed, had instantly cracked the heavy wooden door... honestly, it was weird how a sudden chill had enveloped me while I impatiently stared at the haze that produced a grey silhouette in front of me.

"..."

Wait a minute. No way... no freaking way!

In front of me was that bi... I mean, brat. So this is what being a mage meant! So she's a fire mage...!

Books or not, this was the first time I'd seen magic... but then why was there no fire, but instead a red lightning? How interesting!

As I lifted my eyes at the deadly child-like figure that approached me, my body shook in horror and excitement.

Her eyes as sharp as bullets beamed at me like lasers. I could tell right away how much of a burden I seemed to her. This girl, with enough training, could kill a person with her eyes only.

Her thoughts, or so I guessed, seemed to be muddled. Guessing whether or not she would ki- no, teach me a lesson. Gosh, was I in trouble now.

Hmm... but now's not a good time... I'd not want her as an enemy and it's still too early to fight. Plus, her patience seems limited, she'll be troublesome as an ally too...! What to do?

Trotting beside her, the smaller figure I couldn't notice before, was lil' Carmine. Quiet, observant and afraid.

Looks like the one who had powers was the winner.

However, just as I came to the decision- "Looks like this Baby is my tool now."

Helen proclaimed. "She seems fun. But I hate burdens and garbage so... I'll get rid of IT if things get troublesome."

In all honesty, I was fazed by this, was she bluffing? No, there was no confusion. Hahaha... children here, they love talking like adults, don't they? How... amusing.

I smiled at her slyly.

This shook her up a bit clearly giving away the fact that, all that talk now, was just a show. Such a child! I scoffed and giggled, rolling to the other end of the cradle, standing up still on all four legs.

Trust me, this took all of my baby power. So tiring!

"N-no," a shaking protest came from the cute little Carmine who was standing beside her elder sister, shaking.

"W-What? You're defending this useless shit now?" Helen regained her lost composure.

"No!" Carmine shook her head violently, "You can't buuwi her! Only Cami can!"
