Volume 1 Chapter 37 Big Sis Will Do Her Best
I'm Alice Sanroze.
The 4th child and eldest daughter of the Sanroze family.
My mother was Linore Sanroze.
She was such a kind mother.
But she went to heaven when I was 6.
At that time, I received the [Physical Enhancement] [skill] from her.
I still can't forget her last words,
'My precious, sweet Alice. Thank you for being born as my daughter. Be happy, okay? Protect Cain for me'.
Yes, I will protect Cain.
Because I'm Cain's big sister.
But when Cain was 5, we were playing on the bed together and he accidentally fell off.
And then, he didn't move for a while.
At that moment, I blamed myself, thinking he was dead.
I went to get Mother Lydia, but when she came back he still wasn't moving, and I almost despaired.
But Cain came back to me.
Until Cain got better, I held back on sweets and prayed to the gods every day, 'Please let Cain get well.'
The gods heard her wish, and Cain got better.
But after he got better, he didn't cling to me as much.
It's a little lonely.
After Cain got better, he went to the "ceremony of baptism" and was granted the [Earth magic] [skill].
It seems he was granted other things too, but I don't remember.
I'll ask him about it later.
And then, Cain started running in the garden early in the morning.
I, who is not good at getting up early, always wakes up a little late, and Cain greets me with a shining smile, a little sweat on his brow, saying, 'Good morning, Sister.'
That really makes my sleepiness disappear.
Cain was injured again.
This time, it seems he tried to use [magic].
Father was very angry.
But I was a little happy.
Because of the injury, I could take care of Cain and spend more time with him.
Cain is really cute.
When Elder Brother Ben returns, the time I spend playing with Cain decreases again.
Cain was learning "Mana Control" from Elder Brother Ben.
I had been watching from afar, hidden in the shadows.
It looked incredibly difficult, but Cain seemed to be enjoying himself.
A little frustrated, I had also asked Elder Brother Ben to teach me "Mana Control".
But I could only manage "Circulation".
Six months passed, and I still couldn't do "Release".
But I wouldn't give up.
Recently, I had started studying with Miss Sophia.
She was a very kind teacher, but the studies were incredibly hard.
I was working hard to get into the "Knight Academy" when I turned ten.
I was trying my best, but I just couldn't do arithmetic.
I always made mistakes when it came to addition with carrying.
Seeing Cain playing outside made me inexplicably irritated, and I complained to Father, 'Why doesn't Cain study?'
Sorry, Cain.
Apparently, Cain had made something called an "abacus".
Father and Mother Lydia were very happy.
I felt a little irritated again.
"Elder Sister Alice～"
Cain came running with a beaming smile.
The moment I saw that smile, it vanished.
"What's wrong, Cain?"
A smile naturally bloomed on my face.
"I made this for you, Elder Sister Alice."
As he said that, he gave me a bluish-white "abacus".
Cain had made an "abacus" just for me.
I was truly happy.
I would do my best with the "abacus" to overcome my weakness in arithmetic.
I wanted to protect Cain soon.
"I'll do my best, okay?"
I embraced Cain and steeled my resolve.
