BXBX NOVEL Chapter 187 Reunion (2)
It has been a while since we were hugging each other and though I knew these two had lost all sense of time; I did not.
The emotional moment was eternal for us but, it had to end at some point and I knew these two wouldn\'t let go if I didn\'t say anything.
I was back, and I had no plan of going away anytime soon.
Not that I believed they would let me, but, for now, I had to end this.
"Mom... dad... I am here now. So, don\'t worry. Let\'s go now, everyone is waiting..."
My voice was filled with happiness and certainty, and they could feel it.
Mom was hesitant at first but, she made up her mind and with shaking hands, letting me go, she backed away a little.
Dad was better than her, so he also understood that I was fine.
Anna didn\'t back off and just hugged me all by herself and I hugged her back.
This was her first time seeing me in person, and even though I had forgotten to take off this disguise of black hair and black eyes, they recognized me instantly.
They were amazing and right now, aside from the two looking at me with tears and love-filled eyes and Anna hugging me like this, I could see everyone smiling at us.
I also smiled while looking at everyone and waved my hand at the two cousins of mine.
They were happy and fired up, and… why were these two so dead set on just fighting me?
Well, that aside, we weren\'t in our own house and even then, anyone didn\'t show any form of hesitation or uncomfortable behavior.
As if this was a place everyone was familiar with, they just acted like everything was fine and they believed all these people enough to freely break down in tears in their presence.
The two families might actually be closer to what I know, but that was unnecessary.
Looking at my two poor parents, I smiled and caressed Anna\'s head.
"Haaa... I\'m fine so, let\'s go, everyone. I don\'t think this isn\'t much good place to talk or anything." I said and nodded at mom and dad with a smile and they understood everything will be fine now.
Mom and dad nodded with a relieved smile while... Anna was still stuck to me for some reason.
Mom and dad just smiled helplessly at her unique behavior and I most probably knew the reason.
"Anna, don\'t worry. I\'m better than I look so, it\'s ok. And you are more adorable than I thought, dear sister."
I admired her with genuine praise that came from the bottom of my heart, and her charms were truly unparalleled.
I kissed her forehead lovingly, knowing she was acting like this because she could feel \'it\' better than anyone else.
Anna was a special child, normal but not normal in a way at the same time.
She was ordinary, but the most amazing in this entire room at the same time.
She possessed [Jewel eyes] something few in this world possessed.
And everyone who had these eyes also possessed special powers or... gifts.
\'Three eyes.\'
[[ *The skill, [Three Eyes] has clashed with a divine protection.
Attempting to understand the barrier...* ]]
I knew there would be something like this, just like most of the cases recorded throughout ancient times.
Even though I had Lucy, I didn\'t believe I could break or understand the barrier she had, even if I used all my energy.
And Lucy surprisingly didn\'t oppose this use, proving she was smart in the genuine sense.
Anna looked at me while the process was still ongoing with her marvelous eyes after my kiss and... she kissed me on my tear-wetted cheeks.
And this kiss... this was her gift.
[[ *Your little sister is truly adorable, Eon. And caring. Oh, creator... even I love this cute little angel.
She is smart too, understanding things just by her feelings.
Marvelous~.* ]]
Not only was this little angel special, but she was also understanding, smart, and an amazing little one.
Her hair, the same ones as our dad\'s that shined like the clear night sky and in this lowly lit room, looked more beautiful than normal, was long and soft.
Her eyes were something many in this world would greed after, but... she was safe with us.
This amazing little girl didn\'t know much about other stuff but, she could feel the emotions others don\'t show.
Like right now, she just kept hugging me after feeling the sorrow and loneliness I had from being apart from them all this time.
She even kissed me for the first time to calm all these emotions and gave me permission to look at her status window after sensing I wanted to take a look myself.
My little sister... she was amazing and Zoe was practically jumping in excitement to meet this little girl.
Rein was barely containing her eagerness to just run forward and take her up and just hug her for eternity.
Her eyes were enough to say that.
Well, who would blame these two? If even a goddess fell for her charms, what would a young witch and newborn divine beast do?

--->She gave you permission to look at her special status window so be thankful to this splendid lady.
---> Having a blessing is no small thing and even on that, having true protection from one of the prominent goddesses of healing is miraculous in itself.
---> Just having three unique skills of that high level is shocking but, even more, all of them are passive ones and she can use them with no conditions at all aside from having good enough mental health to sustain the skills.
---> The skills themselves use natural powers so she doesn\'t have to use any of her energy in the process.
---> She is a special one and her charm is something unreal in itself.
---> And she is also understanding and smart, unlike a certain someone.
---> This little girl is adorable and just having a sister like her is a blessing to a \'someone\' like you.
---> Cherish her with all your being.
============
"Thanks, Anna. You are awesome, you know?" I asked while kissing her small, fluffy cheeks.
Now that she had calmed down, she looked better than ever and when she smiled at me... I became speechless.
I just ignored the language my dear skill used to address me because what it said was more than true.
She was amazing, cute, smart and someone you can\'t help but adore.
Receiving protection from a god was a naturally good thing, and she even received one from someone similarly strong as the one who blessed our grandmother.
And as I knew, she had a charm like no other.
Well, she was someone everyone would naturally adore.
And I also wanted to adore or even worship this little sister of mine.
We can do that. We had time on our side this time.
I can do everything I wanted now that I was back with them.
Play, eat, cook, practice, fight, spoil them like a \'good\' brother... I can do everything now.
And to start that, I had someone I will have to introduce to them myself.
"Anna, mom, dad... this is Zoe. I promised my master I would take care of her like my little sister.
I know everyone will like her, especially Anna and my dear aunts~." I said while asking her to come here as I stood up with Anna in my arms.
Everyone already knew this, so there was nothing to worry about and everyone was happy to see such an adorable girl.
And because I said my aunties, they understood she was different from us three troublemakers and more playful like Anna.
Everyone waved at her to say hello but, just like last time, she just hid behind me, only seeing Anna.
Maybe Anna had forgotten to notice her but when Zoe looked at her, Anna also looked at her just like she was.
And both of them had sparkles in their eyes that found other prettiest ones in the world.
Zoe saw the world differently from others and in her eyes, as she described a moment ago in my mind, Anna was a precious pink heart-shaped jewel.
A pink of love, unlike my fiery Aura or Rein\'s deep eyes.
This was the lightest pink of love and it was so pure Zoe just couldn\'t help but look at my other little sister.
And I knew Anna could \'feel\' others and to her, this newborn phoenix, who was the symbol of purity, afterlife, and power, would be the most beautiful thing she had felt.
Zoe was just like that.
Pure, innocent but at the same time, a strong one with unreal talent and potential.
My two sisters, one peeking at behind from my shoulders, and the other looking in front from behind me, these two were just... delightful right now.
"Prettty..." Zoe said while looking at Anna with a smile.
"Prettttttty..."
And at the same time, Anna exclaimed with admiration-filled eyes.
I knew just from this... these two are going to become best friends.
