Chapter 66 - Unexpected Visitors (1) (1/2)

"Wake up, brother! You have college in the afternoon!"

"Mmm…"

Stifling a yawn, Aleen struggled to wake up and stretched his body slowly.

He stood up and did a circulation with his mana to eliminate his sleepiness; he learned while training that circulating his mana not only helps to relieve fatigue, but also is good to increase his concentration and remove sleepiness.

Cleaning his mouth quickly, he wore a shirt and went down to the first floor. There, he found Claire lying on a sofa while playing with a bracelet on her wrist.

"I prepared breakfast." She said, without moving his gaze from the device Aleen bought her. Aleen shook his head when he saw it before smiling and going to the kitchen.

"How long have you been playing with it, Claire?"

"Uh? Oh… I think I did not sleep last night."

*Clang!*

"Mmm? Something happened, brother?"

"Nothing." Aleen sighed exasperatedly while picking up the spoon that fell to the floor. "Now, stop playing with that thing already!"

"Sorry sorry… It's just that it is very amazing. I cannot believe that something like this exists..."

"Yeah, but that is not a reason to not go to bed…"

With another tired sigh, he carried his breakfast to a table and sat to eat.

Claire obeyed Aleen and stopped playing with her bracelet. She then stood up from the sofa and walked towards the table where Aleen was seated before sitting down beside him.

Putting a serious expression, she asked.

"Are you going to tell me what happened in the game now?"

Aleen fell silent momentarily before nodding briefly. "Don't worry, I will tell you."

When Aleen returned yesterday, it had been eight hours from the moment when he left to the game. Aleen did not found it strange, because he felt that this game lasted longer than the first; Claire, however, entered on panic when six hours passed and her brother was not back yet, and thought that something happened to him.

So, when he finally returned, she found it hard to stop her tears from flowing while hugging him. Aleen simply hugged her back and patted her head softly to console her.

But when she asked him about the things that happened during the game, Aleen simply shook his head and told her that he was going to rest first.

He then slept deeply until ten o'clock in the morning when Claire woke him up.

Aleen could felt that his mind was much clearer after sleeping through the night. After all, despite being completely healed when the game finished, and being able to relive his fatigue through the circulation of mana, he couldn't do anything about his mental fatigue.

Now that he slept, he found easier to tell Claire about the things he went through this time.

Organizing his thoughts, he spoke to her about everything without hiding anything, only pausing to eat or remember some details. Claire did not interrupt him through the story, but the different expressions on her face gave away her thoughts.

When Aleen finished speaking, she could not find words to speak to him.

In the end, she simply stood up from her chair and walked towards Aleen before hugging him strongly.

"It must have been hard."

Aleen smiled wryly and patted her head. "Don't worry, Claire. I'm not so weak as to need the comfort of a little girl."

"I'm not little, stupid brother." With a small pout, she pinched Aleen's waist strongly and returned to her seat.

Aleen simply laughed to it; after all, his enhanced body could not feel pain before such 'low-level attack'.

Of course, Aleen did not say it to his sister; let she finds a more effective method to show her displeasure.
