Ash’s fingers hardened as he was passing the wine . But the drunk opponent didn’t notice and kept on talking .
“She may look sharp on the outside, but it’s a kind of hiccup charm that’s unexpectedly obnoxious to me . Oh, no, no, if I can tame her with that personality, hiccup . You’re going to pick the right place and hiccup sell her anyway . Give it to me instead . Since the hiccup, we were good friends anyway . ”
Friend, the word that the other person put in his mouth was not necessarily wrong as his tongue was twisted because of alcohol .
The partner whom he met at a meeting as a child and had known for nearly a decade was a partner and a sole acquaintance of him .
He was three years older than Ash, but neither of them cared about it . Ash was quite fond of him . More like, Ash thought he was quite useful .
Born to a noble father and a commoner mother, he expressed his inferiority complex about his birth as an illegitimate son by pressing down on his brother .
His efforts and perseverance were quite good, and he did not hesitate to make dirty tricks if necessary, and he could kill his temper and lie down in front of a stronger opponent than him .
Ash liked it . Since he was a useful resource in many ways .
However, the downside was that he was overly exposed and his hand habits against women were not good, but that was something that had nothing to do with Ash .
Until his opponent talks like that on the spot .
Ash put down the wine, which had not even a few sips . And he thought to himself, looking at his drunk opponent in a mess .
‘I have to kill him . ’
They’ve seen each other for a long time . Except for some of the family members, he would be the oldest person he hung out with .
He was also excellent as a partner . It would be hard to find a man who is as good at his job as he .
But all that didn’t matter at the moment .
He’ll just have to clean up that garbage right now .
Nothing else came to his mind except that .
“Let’s move and have another drink . How about we continue in my mansion?”
“Huh? Yes, good, good, then, let’s go!”
Ash killed his opponent that day .
There was also an appropriate justification . In the past, in the process of organizing a business, his opponent secretly deducted some of the money .
But Ash took it as an excuse to punish him .
He cut off the opponent’s limb, hoping that he would not do it again, and finally cut his neck .
He could have cut his throat from the start and finished neatly, but Ash didn’t do it on purpose .
After killing his business partner and longtime friend so badly that he couldn’t even understand it, Ash suddenly saw his sister again .
A rich, covetous red hair covering the back . Smooth skin, sparkling amber eyes . His sister remained the same, but somehow different .
He was not the only one who grew up over the years . His sister Lydia had become a woman .
The trash he had cut off his limbs and killed did not even know the subject and dared to covet . And at the moment of recognizing that natural fact, there was a certain disturbance in Ash’s mind .
Ash didn’t know exactly what it was . He couldn’t define it in words . But he knew something had changed . He could only guess that much .
Ash has suffered from occasional thirst since that day .
No, similar to thirst but not strictly thirst . No matter how much water he drinks, it hasn’t been resolved .
It was a strange sensation . He feels like he’s going to burn out, but he hasn’t got any better with water or other drinks .
What is this feeling?
“Ash, your bangs are quite grown . ”
“……”
“Well, it wouldn’t be bad to grow it out but I like it better now . ”
Feeling unable to move in a moment with only a slight touch of his bangs, Ash looked at his sister .
His sister was much smaller than Ash and is now nearing adulthood .
The round top of her head barely crossed his shoulder at best . When he was young, he was busy looking up at his sister, and from some point on, Lydia had to raise her head to make eye contact .
Her neck was slender as if it would break if it were held wrong, and the shoulders were tender enough to be careful to touch . Her eyelashes were long and voluminous . Her cheeks were lively, her lips were red and pretty in shape, and her forehead was white .
“Ash?”
“…… . ”
At one night when the moon rises .
Ash stopped taking his hand unconsciously from Lydia’s moonlit face .

His heart throbbed .
A sudden thirst came in . The wild thirst of unknown reasons ran impatiently as if to burn his heart to the ground .
Ash raised his hand in the air that day . Then he squeezed his fist to avoid Lydia’s eyes .
‘Really, what the hell is this?’
In front of a question that he did not know the answer, Ash waited .
If he waits and sees, he’ll always get the answer .
But over time, the identity of the thirst was never revealed . The thirst grew more and more frequent as the days went by without a clear answer .
“That’s……of course I’m worried . We’re family . ”
Then one day when his sister said that she was a family .
At that time, in addition to thirst, there was also a cramping pain that seemed to block the inside of him .
The thirst that did not improve caused frustration .
Ash had been deliberately overworked and abused his body for it . Of course, it didn’t work at all .
Later on, this period was entirely in touch with patience . To endure, suppress, swallow, and constantly toil something .
It was a time when he repeated it countless times . Even though he didn’t realize it . It was after some time that Ash realized his patience .
The occasion was sudden . A monster raid occurred in the south, leading the subjugation team to the south .
Ash couldn’t believe the news was delivered with a note of urgency by a member of his dark organization, who even violated his orders .
His sister disappeared .
More precisely, she left the mansion and disappeared .
At the moment, his mind seemed to be emptied without leaving anything behind . The accident came to a shortstop and then turned around again .
Why?
While the body was moving first and turning the horse on the spot, the head continued to raise only one question .
Why?

His sister has left . Missing . Or fled .
At the end of the sentence, there was a question that could not be answered “why . ”
Ash had never imagined . It was not allowed even as a passing assumption .
He, without his sister .
It was something he’d never drawn before in his life . Because it didn’t mean anything . Those moments could not exist, and will never exist .
“……noonim . ”
Ash couldn’t even remember how he was able to get here .
He ran the horse nonstop, and when he arrived at the village, he forced him to find a wizard and use a mobile magic trick .
He repeated it and it took him more than a day to get to the system . It was only around that time that a piece of news arrived that they had found their sister in the northern forest .
Ash headed straight for the northern forest . Until then he had no memory of taking a break or falling asleep for a moment, but he did not care for such a trivial .
Entering the forest, he threw away the exhausted sorcerer from using his mana and cut down a monster that blocked the way .
Then he saw his sister .
The face that was messed up and stared at him as if looking at an illusion .
“Why…”
As soon as Ash saw her, he wanted to ask . There was a constant stream of questions on the way here .
‘Why you tried to leave . ’
Why?
His sister, who he found in the forest, looked like a person who would go a long way and would never come back .
The clothes she’s wearing, the bags she’s holding in her arms .
After confirming with his eyes that the report was not his illusion, he felt like he was going to laugh in vain .
Ash couldn’t complete the question and moved on .
He couldn’t complete it .
The reason doesn’t matter . The reason why she tried to leave him, it didn’t matter .

Because the answer is no . He couldn’t let go of his sister . It was impossible .
Whatever his sister wants and does, that doesn’t matter . It doesn’t matter what she wants .
But all that had to be done by his side .
No matter what happens .
“Noonim, can you stand up?”
Ash tried to take Lydia back to her mansion .
He was going to go back and treat her ankle first, which seemed to be hurt . It was then that Ash’s movements were suddenly bound .
“Oh, don’t worry about someone who’s not your sister, and help me!”
“…that’s right, Ash . It’s true . I was adopted by my family when I was young . Very… very young, yes, even before you were born . ”
Ash began to wipe a blurry mirror, listening to her pitifully precarious trembling voice . The mirror was illuminating the memory . The memory was a wonderful old one, but it was clear as a lie when the dust was wiped away .
“…… I’m sorry . ”
Ash did not move for a moment, facing a memory that was so intact and clear that he could not believe when he heard it .
Then he acted . He cut down everything he had to cut and lifted Lydia, who couldn’t stand up because of her injured ankle .
“Eh, Ash . I . I’m not your sister . ”
In a confused voice, Ash answered silently .
“Yes . ”
“Really . Not a drop of blood mixed up . Not a half-sister, completely, a complete stranger . ”
“I know . ”
Then he whispered sweetly to Lydia in his arms .
“You’re tired, aren’t you? Take a rest . ”
The tired body quickly fell asleep . Ash swept Lydia’s hair off the carriage without a word .
Then he kissed the white forehead that was revealed soon .
Like magic, his thirst was gone . Like a rain fell on the dry ground and was refreshed as if the lock had been released .
