Novel Full Chapter 263 - Hospital Visit
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Emilia had no idea that her words only alarmed Penny further. 'Princess is so beautiful and adorable, she's definitely fit to be the best little sister material! Her silky thighs are so delicious and comfortable, and her panties are so adorable! Even I can't resist the urge—! No, that perverted bastard definitely wouldn't be able to resist!'
Obviously, as a single child, Penny didn't have any siblings to compare with or know such a thing from experience. But she assumed that sis-cons must be high-level perverts, and such a person would definitely salivate at the sight of her princess!
Since she had already been instructed to hold back, though, Penny could only keep such thoughts in her heart for now and have a warning delivered to the boy later. 'Hmph. Perverts who don't know their place!'

As Theo's mom was quite busy managing the family business alongside her husband, she wasn't able to accompany him in the hospital for long.
Given that Emilia hadn't informed them of her visit, the woman had simply left her daughter in charge of taking care of Theo. Though she did give her a taser and pepper spray, just in case.
"Remember, if you think he's going to say something pervy, don't hesitate to spray it on his face!"
"Okay!"
Theo almost cried. "Mom! Is that any way to treat a patient?!"
His mother scoffed. "Shut up! Only your legs are broken, and that thick face of yours is perfectly intact. Hmph, who told you to go around taking part in races?!"
Hearing the woman mumble something along the lines of 'I wish they could fix his brain as well', Theo didn't dare to say anything and just prayed his mother left quickly.
Thankfully, once she was gone, the spectacled boy was able to happily chat with his precious little sister. The atmosphere soon brightened as the girl listened to his heroic tale with rapt attention.
"And of course, then I adjusted my own center of gravity to dampen the momentum of our crash, and shielded the girl from the impact!"
His little sister's eyes shone in admiration. "Wow, big bro… I hate to say it, but awesome! That must have been so cool, I wish I was there to see!"
Theo felt like his heart had been completely refreshed by the look of amazement on his little sister's face. It was like all the demotivation that had been slowly seeping in from her recent cold behavior was gone in an instant!
How long had it been since his little sister had looked at him with anything but scorn?
Thinking of how he feared letting the little girl even know of his hobbies before, Theo couldn't help but shake his head. He was disappointed in himself for his lack of trust.
If Thea, his little sister, knew that she had unknowingly undone all the painstaking progress she'd been making in 'curing' her brother of his perversions, she would probably throw up blood and need to be hospitalized herself.
A knock on the door interrupted their conversation, and when Thea went to check who it was, her expression immediately turned slack.
Emilia smiled. "Hi, this is Theo's room, right? Can we come in?"
Thea felt a jolt of terror run up her spine as she immediately dashed away to hide behind Theo's hospital bed. "Big bro, save me! I definitely didn't provoke her on purpose! It was that idiot Randy, not me!"
Not to mention Theo, even Emilia was left dumbfounded by her reaction.
Crystal rubbed her nose in embarrassment as she whispered something into Emilia's ear, and she finally realized what could be going on.
Thea's terror only intensified as she saw Penny among the group of girls who had 'barged in' to beat her up. "I-I'm warning you, my big bro may not look strong, but he'll definitely not let you touch a hair on my head as long as he's alive!"
For a moment, Theo wondered if his little sister was cursing him to die, but shook his head in denial. It can't be, right? Anyway, he had a feeling she was horribly misunderstanding the situation.
He coughed, but before he could explain anything. Thea cried. "AHH! My big bro is dying! How tragic, he can't take shock well, after all! S-So you guys better stay away!"
Emilia gave Crystal a teasing look, causing the heroine to blush furiously and go over to smack the overreacting girl up her head. "No one's here to beat you up, calm down!"
"Y-You hit me just now, though?!"
Crystal coughed. "A-Anyway, forget about what happened that day. Don't you know Emilia is the little sister of the girl your brother helped?"
Thea blinked, then blinked again before her face turned red in embarrassment, and she meekly slinked off to a chair in the corner. "D-Don't mind me."
Emilia shook her head with a smile as she took the chair next to Theo's bed. "I kind of regret not befriending your sister before, even though we were in the same class. She's funny."
Theo rubbed his cheek in embarrassment. "Of course my little Thea is the most adorable in the world. Every move from her brings a smile of joy to everyone's face!"
His sister cringed in her corner, internally crying in regret for coming to check on Theo. Facing the intermittent glares from Penny, she knew her peaceful life at school might be over.
Wouldn't it have been wonderful if she just accepted that karaoke invitation instead?
Thankfully for Thea, Emilia didn't plan to accompany the boy for too long, and after inquiring about his situation for a while, she gave him a nod and stood up to leave. "Oh right, before I go…"
Taking a pen from Koko's backpack, Emilia jotted down her number on a piece of paper and placed it on Theo's bed. "I owe you a favor for saving my sister, so don't hesitate to call me if you're ever in trouble. If I can, I'll definitely lend a hand."
Theo felt a chill run up his spine at the glare he got from the girls behind the redhead, but he didn't dare to let it show on his face. "I-I understand, I'll definitely keep it in mind if I need it. B-But it was no big deal, really! You don't have to feel burdened!"
Emilia blinked in surprise at his rejection. She had already had Noelle look into his profile a little, and from what she knew, Theo may seem like an idiot, but he was definitely more business savvy than he seemed.
It was impossible for him not to know how much a single word from her could affect their situation, right? Maybe he was just being polite now and would cash in on that favor later?
At least, she certainly hoped that was the case. After all, Emilia didn't like owing people favors.
Theo breathed a huge sigh of relief once the red-haired girl left with a nod, along with her entourage. "Phew, I almost died there."
Unfortunately, before he could lie back down with a smile, his previously despondent little sister immediately started bouncing with a grin, looking like a completely different person than she had been under Penny's glare.
"Big bro, you turned out to be a lot less lame than I thought!"
