V2/Chapter 14: Sister
Prometheus's online slang once again confirmed Ai Yue's idea of restricting the other party's Internet surfing, but he did not deny Prometheus's evaluation.
But in this era, this kind of thing is actually very normal.
Sakura and Rin are both from Japan, a country that was basically destroyed in the third great eruption. The scale of that great eruption was so terrifying that it even affected Canghai City in neighboring Shenzhou. In the end, with the efforts of the Fire Moth and the United Nations, the truth of this huge disaster was distorted into a violent large-scale tsunami.
The two sisters escaped from this huge disaster with difficulty, which naturally made them cherish each other more. As for Sakura, although she was responsible for protecting her younger sister, she was actually a gentle and fragile person. In order to make herself strong, she attributed all her actions to "protecting Rin", and in the process gradually regarded Rin as her only spiritual support.
It is reasonable that such a person would make Prometheus feel heavy.
But if it weren't for this, Sakura's spirit would have collapsed long ago.
As soon as the two people went out, they saw a car slowly stop at the door. The window of the main driver's seat was lowered, revealing Hua's figure. She nodded at the two people and didn't say much.
Hua felt that she was almost getting used to this kind of driver's life.
After the two people got in the car, Ai Yue continued to ask: "Have you arranged everything for Rin?"
"Yeah." Sakura nodded, "We don't have much stuff, we can leave at any time."
After Sakura accepted Dr. Mei's conditions and officially joined the Fire Moth, Rin also settled down in the city next to the Fire Moth headquarters. However, the two sisters had been moving around before, so they developed the habit of not adding things casually to make it convenient to move at any time.
"That's convenient," Ai Yue smiled, "I haven't told you the specific plan yet, I plan to let Rin live on Twilight Street."
"Is it that sanatorium?" Sakura recalled the place where she first met Ai Yue and frowned slightly. "Dr. Ai Yue, I want to ask, who is in charge of this sanatorium now?"
Thinking back to Aponia's strange ability, she instinctively felt like running away.
As a person who relies on force to survive, being pinned to the spot and at the mercy of others with just a few words is truly a nightmare experience.
"Don't worry, Aponia is not in charge there." When Aponia was mentioned, Ai Yue's expression was a little subtle, but he soon returned to normal. "The current plan of Twilight Street is to establish a new branch. The main purpose is to build a shelter to take in and train orphans who are homeless due to various disasters. There will be people in the education field who will be responsible for it. Of course, there will be others to ensure safety. Guess who it is?"
"Is it a warrior of the Fire Moth?" Sakura thought for a moment, looked at Ai Yue's expression, and suddenly said, "Could it be Kalpas?"
Ai Yue looked at her in surprise: "Why do you think it's him?"
He knew that the two had a good relationship in the original plot, but at this time they should not have much interaction, right?
"It's a hunch. After all, Twilight Street is also his home," Sakura thought for a moment, "Besides, I feel like he's the type of person who really likes children. He'd be a good fit for this place."
"You guessed right. I plan to let Kalpas be in charge of the security of this branch. Of course, there will be ordinary soldiers stationed here." Ai Yue nodded, acknowledging Sakura's answer, "Do you need me to transfer you over as well? This way you can see Rin at any time."
"No need, as long as she is safe," Sakura was tempted at first, but finally shook her head, "Rin's matter has already troubled you a lot, I can't let you worry about my affairs anymore."
As an elder sister, she certainly hopes to see her sister all the time, but Sakura knows very well that she is now a fusion warrior and the most advantageous weapon for the Fire Moth to fight against the Honkai. For Rin and for the future of more children like Rin, she must be used in the most critical place.
Ai Yue looked at Sakura's expression, then smiled and said, "It seems that what Prometheus said is not entirely correct."
He could naturally see what Sakura was thinking, and therefore realized that his own view was still too one-sided - Sakura might indeed regard Rin as a spiritual pillar, but that didn't mean that she only had her sister in her heart.
Now it seems that life in the Fire Moth has obviously had an impact on her, giving her life some other meaning.
The three of them soon arrived at Rin's residence. As Sakura knocked on the door with a special rhythm, a girl's joyful voice came from inside: "Sister?"
"It's me, Rin." Sakura responded softly, "My colleagues and I are here to pick you up."
The door soon opened, and a pink-haired girl in a white dress threw herself into Sakura's arms, "Sister!"
"Rin," Sakura half-knelt on the ground to catch Rin, and then directly picked her up, "Let me introduce you, this is Dr. Ai Yue, this is Hua, they are both my colleagues."
Ai Yue smiled and waved at the girl with a ponytail. Hua also nodded to her. The girl seemed a little shy and turned her head away immediately: "Sister, put me down?"
After Sakura put the girl down, Rin pretended to clear her throat and bowed to Ai Yue and the others: "Hello, my name is Rin, Sakura's sister. Thank you for your help to my sister every day."
If Rin didn't look only fourteen or fifteen years old, her behavior would make her seem more like an older sister than Sakura.
"No way, your sister is a very capable person." Ai Yue responded, then looked inside the house, "Rin, have you packed all your things?"
Just like Sakura said, there really wasn't much furniture inside and it looked empty, giving people the feeling that the two sisters had just moved in not long ago.
"It's packed!" Rin responded, then turned and ran into the house. After a while, she came out dragging a suitcase, but she couldn't help but look back at the end, "Everything is here, shall we leave now?"
"Of course," Ai Yue saw a hint of reluctance in the girl's eyes, and then said, "Of course, if you want to stay a little longer, that's fine."
"Let's go now. We can't waste everyone's time." Rin finally shook her head, refused Hua's help, and walked away alone, dragging the box.
"She is really a sensible child." Ai Yue couldn't help but shake his head slightly, "Prometheus, you should learn from her."
Prometheus did not respond, but sent an eyes-rolling emoticon to Ai Yue's phone.
