When Evan came into the living hall, he found Lyra watching the TV. Sensing someone had come downstairs, she turned around and looked at Evan, but immediately turned her head away while blushing.
Evan didn't understand why she did that, so he went near her and said,
"What happened, Lyra? Are you getting scared of me?" He said jokingly.
She has always been a timid girl and doesn't talk much with anyone, except Evan.
And she is really close with him, every time they head to school, she clings to him, and goes together there. This was the first time she had ever turned her head away from Evan.
Evan went in front of her and squatted down, looking at her tenderly.
She again blushed turned her head sideways, and muttered softly, "Bad brother."
'How can he do that...?'
Evan, whose senses have been sharpened after getting his stats increased heard her clearly but couldn't understand why she said it.
[I might know, why she is doing this. I can tell you.]
'And why would you do that? Will you be asking for points again?'
Evan said it in a bit rude way.
[Are you angry with me? All right, I won't act like an annoying system from now on, okay? I was just trying to help you, not making fun of you. If you want I can even apologize.]
'You don't need to apologize, just act normally, I am not angry just not in a mood to talk with you. I will be fine after a while. Now tell me why is she acting like this.'
[Well... I apologize in advance, but it's not my fault, you weren't in your right mind at that time...]
'What is it, tell me?!' Evan said getting a little impatient.
[She saw you and Seraphina inside the room.]
'What?!'
As the system expected, it came as a shock to him. Even if it told him at that time Evan wouldn't have been able to do anything, or might even have pulled Lyra into it as well.
[It wasn't my fault... you weren't in your control right then.]
'Is that all, or anything else.'
The system was confused but it still replied,
[Yeah, nothing else happened, she saw you guys and ran straight to her room.]
'If that's all, then it's fine, she would have known it eventually, so it's better if it's early on.'
Evan thought it would have been a problem to hide the fact about Mother and him from everyone else, so it would have been better if they had known earlier. Though, he doesn't know how somebody else would have reacted to it, if it was Celestina or his sister Nova, it could have been a problem to explain everything, but not with Lyra.
She was still a little girl in his eyes.
So, he looked at Lyra lovingly while cupping her face, making her face him.
"Aren't you going to ask me how I became this tall?"
Lyra still didn't respond and pouted her chubby face, Evan could sense a little bit of anger in her eyes.
"Are you angry with me? Do you hate Big Brother now?"
Lyra immediately replied to him this time, saying, "No."
"Is that so?" He smiled and patted her head.
After that, he sat beside her on the sofa, and began to speak again,
"Yesterday, I awakened and my height increased because of that. I can now become a hunter and join Big Sis in the academy."
He said with a joyous smile on his face, he thought it could make her happy, but she sulked even more.
'Is he going to leave me?'
She was worried about him leaving rather than being happy for his awakening, but Evan was oblivious to this all.
He then looked at her face which was sulking and assumed that she was worried about feeling lonely after he left as well.
"You do not have to worry, I won't be leaving right away, the entrance for the academy is happening after a month from now."
He tried to console her, but it backfired instead as she was sulking even more.
"I hate you, just leave right away... bad brother..."
She finally cried out and again ran straight inside her room.
'I hate him... I hate them all...'
She thought inwardly while marching straight to her room.
Evan sat on the sofa dazed as to what happened.
[You are dense, host.]
'What am I dense about?'
[You only checked her potential, right?]
'Yeah... so what?'
[Sigh, check her feelings for you.]
'Her feelings...?' He was puzzled, but he checked it either way.
'She is a child and my sister, her feelings for me must be good right? Do I even have to check?'
He thought inwardly while using his ability, and his eyes almost popped out after what he saw.
[Name: Lyra Nightshade
Age: 15
Height: 5ft 5inch
Physical stats:
Strength: 23
Agility: 20
Stamina: 22
Endurance: 23
Ability: Force manipulation...
Feelings for host
Love: 99999+
Lust: 13
Hate: 22 (Temporary)
Temporary on the feelings means it's only for a while, and won't remain after 24 hours.]
'How is her stats that high? And her love... Is my family that crazy for me?'
[Yeah, they are. As for her stats, she is the daughter of a demon, her potential is like a Demi-god, she having that stat isn't something weird. Many children from strong races usually have more stats than normal humans or lower races.]
Evan nodded in understanding, but he asked something weird about Lyra.
'How does she already have an ability? And why isn't there the stat mana on her?'
[Well, that's because an ability is something that you have from birth, some might awaken it by themselves and some might not, system helps them to awaken their ability. As for her mana, it was like yours, you also didn't have it, because you are a demon, and mana is a form of heavenly energy. Lyra is a demon as well, so she can only have demonic energy which isn't available on Earth, well only a few places have them, mostly where crime takes place.]
'Umm... what's this smell?'
Evan was listening to the system explanation when he smelled something delicious. He got up from his seat and went towards the kitchen where he saw Seraphina cooking food while wearing a revealing apron.
