Myuu thought as her body shrunk more while thinking. As expected, am I left behind because I will be a pain? Are they mad because I took off this black cloth? Am I hated by Onii-chan and Onee-chan? She was very sad, and tears fell from her eyes. If I can meet them once again, I want to apologize for being a pain. I will return this black cloth, and this time... I want us to somehow stay together.
"Onii-chan... Onee-chan..." Myuu muttered when suddenly, the water tank let out a loud sound because of an impact.
"Eeek!," Myuu became frightened, looked at the surrounding, and she frowned. There was a masked-man in tuxedo nearby, and she noticed him shouting something as he repeatedly kicked the water tank. Apparently, he wanted to let the guests see her swim to further increase her price, and he kicked the water tank because he thought the unmoving Myuu was sleeping.
However, Myuu became even more frightened, further shrunk her body and didn't move at all. Shrinking her body while strongly clenching onto Hajime's eyepatch as she endured the impact sound and the shaking water tank.
The man who was the host of the underground auction and member of Flithof feared the unmoving Myuu was sick, which would drop her price, so he told a man to bring a rod. It was to be directly thrusted at her to forced her to move. He unintentionally cursed, and became impatient due to the noises made by the guests.
"Good grief, what an irritating brat. Don't you trouble a human like me. You dimwitted blockhead!" The host climbed the stepladder, and tried to thrust the rod at Myuu. Myuu shut her eyes tightly and prepared for the impact.
However, instead of the impact... what reached her was the voice of a person she wanted to hear the most.
"I will return those words back at you, okay? You shitty bastard."
In the next moment, a shadow fell, fluttered from the ceiling, and trampled the host's head who was crushed along with the stepladder when it fell because of the momentum. Splash! Blood splattered from the host as though he had exploded. He was literally crushed to death.
The shadow, Hajime, who appeared with such an impact, didn't even glance at the collapsed man, and hit the water tank with his artificial arm. Smash! The water tank was destroyed, accompanied with sound of something being crushed.
"Eeep!" Myuu was thrown outside along with the flowing water, and she screamed unintentionally.
Myuu was immediately caught by something warm, and she timidly opened her eyes. There was the person she wanted to meet, the one she helplessly expected to come when she heard his voice... He was certainly here. She was held by him. Myuu blinked and quietly watched Hajime just like the first time they met.
"Hey, Myuu. You, why are you always sopping wet when we meet?"
Hajime said jokingly, and quietly watched Myuu. She then asked him in a whisper.
"... Onii-chan?"
"I don't know who is this Onii-chan is, but Hajime-san whose hair you pulled, cheeks you scratched, and eyepatch you took is certainly me."
Hajime answered with a wry smile, and Myuu's round pupil moistened. Following that...
"Onii-chan!!!"
