"Melissa!"
"O-Oppa?!"
In a fit of rage and panic, Zen immediately rushed back to the home he had arranged for Melissa.
Ever since the incident years ago, Melissa had somehow managed to acclimate to society with surprisingly little change.
Though the seal remained within her, she still lived relatively normally, learning magic at her own pace while trying to enjoy the life of an ordinary young woman.
The moment Zen arrived, he immediately grabbed both of her shoulders.
"Was it you?!" he demanded. "Those Demons… were you responsible for them?!"
"W-What?!"
However, contrary to his expectations, Melissa looked utterly baffled, confused, terrified, and offended all at once.
At that moment, Zen immediately retracted and mentally berated himself for even suspecting his own little sister in the first place.
"I…"
For a moment, words failed him.
Melissa stared at him in disbelief, still trying to process why her brother had suddenly barged in and accused her like that.
