Adopted Soldier

It was in the middle of the night. Emily who was typing away in her keyboard, noticed something happening in one of her personal security cameras, that she placed outside the mansion. There was a flickering light from the house nearest the mansion. It was Morse code, telling her to go to that house. The Morse code used was even the special kind that only she and one other could decipher.

Emily who saw this Morse code smiled as she ran out of her room.

...

Kyle Hunt who was as ordered keeping tabs on Lilitth was given the house near the mansion. Right now he was on the roof of the house looking at the starry sky, beside him was his trusty rifle. While he was admiring the night sky, someone climbed up from the window below.

"Leaving your door open, what if some maniac enters?" Hearing that familiar voice, Kyle smiled.

"No one that I don't allow can enter anyway. The moment he or she tries opening the door their head would have blown off."

"It's been awhile aniki, I hope you've been doing well." Emily sat beside her brother as both the siblings look at the starry sky.

"Of course I have. I don't want my crybaby of a little sister worrying about me now do I?" Kyle chuckled.

"Hmph, who are you calling a crybaby? Aren't you talking about yourself? Aniki is the one who was a crybaby." Emily who was usual so scheming, and almost aloof was actually pouting and this time it wasn't an act at all. If Alex could see her now, he would be confused if whether she was acting or not, and shocked to know that she wasn't.

"Well I guess you could call us the crybaby siblings." The two of them started to laugh. After laughing for awhile Emily spoke.

"So Aniki what are you doing here? I'm sure you didn't come simply to say hello to this awesomely cute little sister of yours."

"Cute? You? Well whatever... Actually I'm here to look after another person's cute little sister. Not that I think she needs someone looking after her, seeing that she has that overpowered brother of hers." Emily who heard Kyle said cute with a question mark questioned her brother.

"Why did you say it like that? Don't you think I'm cute aniki? Are you saying this little sister of yours, who is practically the most awesome little sister in the world, is not cute?" Emily discarded the announcement that Kyle was here to look after Lilitth, and was instead showing dissatisfaction that her brother dismissed her as not cute.

"Well first off, calling yourself cute isn't cute. Second you just dismissed my shocking announcement. Finally do I look like the kind of big brother that openly admits his little sister is cute?

"Counterargument, calling myself cute is just me referring to a fact. Second your news isn't really shocking, the master who is an extreme doting parent, wouldn't leave his precious daughter alone." Emily quickly shot down two of her brothers statements.

"Finally you're saying that your not openly admitting it I'm cute. So that means deep inside yourself you are admitting it?... Wow so you're the one being cute aniki. Well your personality is cute, but not your looks. I mean seriously, why don't you shave that beard of yours? Do you think it's cool or something? FYI it's not cool it just makes you look older. What would people think if we walk side by side? Instead of being your sister, they might actually think I'm your daughter. You know, this is why you can't get a girlfriend no matter how hard you try."

"Look who's talking, how about you? I'm pretty sure your single as well."

"Well unlike you I have a lot of suitors. Also how can I get a boyfriend, if my aniki who is older than me by ten years hasn't even gain one girlfriend."

"Many suitors is it? I wonder who among them is a prospective future boyfriend?"

"Avoiding the topic are we?... Hey, aniki, you know I can take care of myself now. So there is no need for aniki to be worried about me. How about settling down and finding not just a girlfriend but a wife instead. Don't you have enough money, to live a life of comfort? So why not settle down?" Emily suddenly turned serious as she spoke.

""This topic again... The reason I don't have a girlfriend is not entirely because of you. It's simply because I don't want to settle down yet. I have been a merc since I was seventeen, and I know nothing else. I even just recently gained the S rank a few years ago. If I settle down now, wont life get a bit boring?"

"You can only say that, because you haven't been in love yet. I'm sure if you fall in love and start having your very own family, you will find that it wasn't so boring after all."

"How come I find that hard to believe. Oh that's right, it's because a sixteen year old girl that hasn't fallen in love is the one telling me this. How can you say that, if you haven't experience it yet. Where do you get the confidence to make such a statement?"

"Umm, you know I read it in a bunch of manga and light novels. I also watched it in a lot of anime and T.V dramas." Emily blushed a bit when she said this.

"So you're telling me to believe in manga and anime?"

"..." Emily had nothing to respond to that.

"Got nothing else to say?... Well in any case, no need to worry about me finding a wife. I will settle down, when I meet the right person. You tell me not to worry about you. But you are my one and only little sister, of course I will worry about you. Even if I settle down and gain wife and kids, I will still worry about you. I am after all your big brother."

The two siblings didn't say anything anymore, and looked at the starry sky in silence.
