“You, what are you?”

No matter how young and pretty Suho was, he was still only a hair behind those two… friends.

By the way, Yeon Soo-ho is 17 years old.

The kid in front was only in the 6th grade of elementary school, so there was quite an age difference.

Even though the kid himself probably knows that fact well… where did such courage come from?

Especially considering that boys at that age are more afraid of their older siblings than their parents, you can guess how much courage that friend had.

How do you not know that?

This is a fact that only I, a TS pretty girl, know.

Yeon Soo-ho looked at the little boy with a blank expression, unable to find the right words to express the hostility he felt from the very young (from his perspective) boy.

“… … ?”

“Why, why. Oh, heavens. Who is that person? Are you dating that person?”

At the appearance of a powerful and gigantic rival who was no match for him in terms of age, face, or anything else, the two…something looked at me with a blank expression as if they had lost everything in the world.

Above all, Yeon Soo-ho looked at me with cold eyes and asked a series of words that were hard to imagine coming out of a brat’s mouth, such as, “Are you dating that person?”

“Sister. What did you do to this brat?”

“Oh, no. I didn’t do anything. He just fell for my beauty!”

“Sister. Your personality is stranger than I thought… .”

“Hey… . Do you want to die?”

The age difference between you and that kid is bigger than the age difference between you and me?

You’re such a spoiled brat.

Meanwhile, the little boy who had been watching our conversation closely seemed to be very confused by the word “sister” that fell from Suho’s mouth.

No matter how I look at it, she looks like she’s my age, but I’m hearing her called older sister from a man who’s clearly older than me, so it’s understandable that I’d feel cognitive dissonance.

“Who, sister? What is this?”

“Yeah. That’s what happened. Actually, I didn’t mean to fool you, but you’re actually a lot older than you look, kid. So, it’s hard for you to fall for me.”

“That, that can’t be… .”

“Are you really curious about this older sister’s age? You’ll be shocked when you hear it? By the way, I heard she drank alcohol yesterday too?”

“Ma, don’t make any sense~!!!”

The two little ones disappeared into the distance with a sad scream of shock. I sighed in regret and reflected on myself as I took in the sight of them.

‘Oh my. Even if she’s too pretty, it’s still bad. Is this what they call a reverse harem?’

I was so narcissistic that I unconsciously made an arrogant expression on my face, when Suho started making a snickering noise next to me.

“Ugh. You have no conscience.”

“Hey. Yeon Soo-ho. What did you say?”

“Huh? I didn’t say anything.”

“This shameless guy!?”

“Go ahead, sister. That elder will be waiting.”

“Oh my. Look at how you’re beating around the bush. Yeon Soo-ho. Were you always like this?”

“Well… ?”

“Don’t laugh. It’s unlucky.”

“Hahaha.”

While bickering with Yeon Su-ho like that, we entered the office of the director of the daycare center where Ryu Se-hwa was living.

As I opened the door, I saw her face looking at her phone with a pleased expression.

At the sudden appearance of the intruder, she flinched in surprise and quickly placed her cell phone on the desk.

What’s wrong, why are you suddenly covering your phone? Are you perhaps enjoying happy hour alone?

If that’s the case, I feel a little sorry.

Immediately afterwards, she glared at me with very sharp eyes.

“Hey. Don’t you know how to knock? What if the door suddenly opens with a bang?”

“I’m sorry~ I was in a hurry so I did it without realizing it.”

“Be careful next time. But who’s that guy behind you? Your boyfriend? How dare you seduce me with that weak body?”

This woman. Her words are full of thorns.

Looks like you were really enjoying happy time.

But that’s that, why can’t you even recognize the being you made your subordinate?

“You’re the vampire I took as your servant. Why don’t you recognize me?”

“Of course I found out. Your name was Yeon Su-ho, right?”

“No. But why are you pretending not to know… .”

I tilted my head and looked at Ryu Se-hwa, not quite understanding her intentions.

She is still a woman whose thoughts are difficult to read.

She smiled and asked me another question.

“You asked me last time why I made Yeon Soo-ho my subordinate. I guess you really liked that kid.”

“Don’t worry about it… . Anyway, the reason I came with Suho is not because he’s my boyfriend, but because he wanted to come with me. ”

“Huh? You want to follow me? Do you want to see your master’s face?”

For the first time, her eyes, which had not shown much interest in Yeon Soo-ho, began to change.

“Oh, no… . My older sister is sick. But my older sister said she would help me. As a younger sister, I couldn’t just sit still… .”

“Hmm. Aha… . When I asked you on the phone earlier if there was a way to cure the child with pancreatic cancer, you were talking about this child’s older sister? ”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“But all I can teach you is blood magic. I don’t know how to cure her sister.”

I already know that fact.

I checked over the phone. However, it seems that Suho had high expectations when he came here.

When I told him that I didn’t know how to treat Soojin, his expression became noticeably worse.

“I know. I will research on my own how to treat Soojin.”

“Okay. It’s a done deal. Of course, there’s a price to pay.”

“Do you need the price first?”

“Yeah, I hope so.”

“What is it? What should I do?”

I’m not asking for money, am I… .

To begin with, I think she probably has dozens of times more money than I do.

First of all, the vampires’ blood magic and money. The exchange rate is just not right.

Perhaps you are thinking of trying to extract some difficult mystery?

Because both she and I belong to the other world.

I knew very well what was more precious and valuable than money.

Identity as a monster, and research materials needed to further advance technology.

They were truly precious things that money couldn’t buy.

“My blood magic has been stagnant lately. But, I found a monster that could help me.”

“Can I subdue it and extract the mystery?”

“Yeah. You understand quickly. As expected, you are my sister.”

“Okay. Tell me where it is.”

“Hmm~. This sounds good. Since you brought your boyfriend along too.”

“He’s not my boyfriend. There’s a few years difference between us.”

“How old are you?”

Why are you looking at me and Yeon Soo-ho with such excitement, like an auntie watching a morning drama?

Seriously… isn’t this person an old lady?

The vampires look incredibly young for their age.

Me too, and Suho too.

This person will definitely be like that too… .

“What are you going to do about it!”

“Why? I’m teaching you blood magic, but you can’t answer that one question?”

“No. I’m not telling you for free! What do you care!”

“Oh my. Even so, it doesn’t matter if I’m a losing business~ I can do mystery extraction too, right?”

“Ugh… .”

There is no rebuttal.

Since the first time I met her, Ryu Se-hwa has always been strangely kind to me.

Elder, who inherited the same bloodline. So, if we borrow her words, it’s because we’re sisters.

I sighed and satisfied her curiosity.

“I’m five years old. I’m twenty-three and Suho is seventeen.”

“If they’re five years apart, isn’t it worth meeting them? Speaking of which, don’t you just take any kid into your group? Do you only take the ones with good looks into your group?”

“… … .”

Why did you suddenly become a matchmaker?

I raised my voice and cut it off at this point before the atmosphere could turn any stranger.

“Okay! Tell me where to go quickly!”

“This guy. He just has a bad personality.”

“That’s not for you to say… ?”

“Yeah, yeah~ It’s all my fault. Our youngest sister.”

As she said this, she rummaged through her desk drawer, took out a paper envelope, and handed it to me.

Perhaps this envelope contains information about the monster she analyzed.

“Please process this as quickly as possible.”

“Okay.”

That was the end of the conversation.

Suho and I left the daycare director’s office and glared at her, who was still smiling mischievously.

“Really, she’s a strange woman. Isn’t she? Suho?”

“… … .”

Why isn’t he answering again?

I poked the guy’s waist with my elbow.

“Hey. Hey.”

“Yes, yes!?”

“What are you thinking about? Hey. Are you sick? Why is your face so red.”

“Ah… . Uh, I have a little cold… .”

I lifted my crow’s foot and touched Suho’s forehead.

It didn’t feel like it was boiling over, but… I was still worried because he said he was sick.

“No way. I’ll take care of this, so you go back and get some rest.”

“Oh, no. It’s okay. Really.”

“Really? You can’t lie to your sister. If you get hurt, you won’t be able to face Soojin.”

“Really! We have to save my sister quickly. I’ll help you too.”

“What… If you say so. Okay. Isn’t it too much?”

“Yes, Sister.”

Oh my… Look at her smiling.

Why are you so handsome?

My heart is pounding.
