The Time I Got Reincarnated As An Extra

Chapter 81: His Relief and Support [1]



****

Amon gulped.

'Why am I being cornered right now?' He questioned Zephyra in his mind.

[She's your sister, what did you expect? She must have found out.] The latter shrugged in his mind.

The black-haired boy's attention moved back to the present, finding his sister calmly seated in front of him.

"So? What's troubling you?" she asked.

After eating, they shopped some more before Elizabeth and Alice went their ways and he was forced to have one more cup of tea by her.

He forced a genuine smile.

"I don't understand sis. Everything is fine."

She narrowed her eyes.

"Are you sure?" she asked, her voice mellow.

He stifled a gulp and avoided giving any signs away.

"Yeah, I'm exactly fine, nothing to worry about."

Silence ensued between them for a few seconds.

"Hmmm.." Katherine crossed her hands while Amon kept up his smile.

"Then...." She rose a little from her seat, her arm reaching out towards his face.

Amon tried to lean back in his seat.

"S-sis, we are still at the mall..." He stutteringly excused.

He wanted to make some distance, but the back of the seat rooted him in his place.

"It doesn't matter," Katherine replied as her hand neared his face.

He closed his eyes for whatever she was about to do.

And in the next moment, he felt her smooth cold fingertips touch the skin under his eyes.

A soothing and refreshing coldness started to spread on that spot, making him open his eyes in shock.

Although his whole body was burning from what she had done just now, there was something more shocking at hand.

The spot where she had touched was where he was constantly manipulating blood to hide his bags.

And by spreading ice over it, she clotted his blood manipulation.

It felt a little numb and painful but....

'H-how did she find out?'

[Told you, she's your sister.] Zephyra shrugged.

"I knew it. You were manipulating the blood weren't you?" she asked him with a worried gaze.

He averted her gaze.

"Answer me, Amon." She demanded, a frown now marring her features.

He kept his gaze averted but gave into the pressure and scratched his neck.

"Yeah...." He mumbled.

"How long? How long has it been like this?" She asked.

".....1 Month." He softly replied, guilt evident in his tone.

"....why?" she asked, looking down and gripping the edges of the table.

The edges slowly started to cover in frost.

Lily, who was seated in Katherine's lap noticed and started to touch the ice, unknown to what was happening between the siblings.

Amon didn't say anything.

"....why did you never tell me about this?" She asked, her voice almost hushed.

"I....didn't want to worry you. You already have a lot of burden on you" He answered with hesitation.

The ice started to spread further but Amon quickly clasped her cold hand, feeling some people start to stare at them.

"Sister, we should discuss this at home...."

At his words, the ice started to recede and she gave a subtle nod, still not looking up at him.

Lifting Lily in one arm, Amon clasped her hand and led her out of the City Centre before taking a carriage towards home.

****

Entering his apartment, Amon put Lily on the ground where she started playing with her toys. Afterward, he carefully settled Katherine onto a sofa and retrieved a glass of water for her.

Handing her the glass, he sat down beside her.

"So...yeah, I'm sorry sis." He started the conversation.

Her grip sharpened around the glass, the water inside it starting to turn cold.

But before he could say anything further, she put the glass on the table in front of her and pulled him into a hug.

Surprised by her action, Amon was unsure what to do.

"You idiot......I'm your elder sister, who can you rely on except me?" she asked, her voice

trembling.

She pulled him more tightly, causing him to smile with guilt.

He reciprocated her age by wrapping his arms around her as well and starting to caress her

back.

They stayed like this in silence for 1 minute, before they mutually broke the hug.

But before he could lean, she pulled him forward again, making his eyes widen once more.

But this time, his body turned sideways in the middle, making his head land straight in her

lap.

Before he could say anything, her hand started to ruffle his hair.

"Eh?" He blurted, surprised by what had just happened.

"Now...." She started to massage his head.

"Tell me what happened...."

Amon resisted a sigh.

****

Amon didn't tell the true story. He never would.

It wasn't because he wanted his sister to not hate Lily.

Far from it.

In fact, he knew that even if he told her the truth she would never hate Lily in the slightest.

That's just how nice and kind-hearted she was.

It was because he was afraid of his deeds.

He didn't want her to know that he killed a sentient human. And not just one but an entire

massacre was carried out.

She would never blame or hate him for it, he knew that.

After spending a month with her, Amon knew that Katherine was the type of sister who would never blame or hate him even if he massacred the entire world.

As long as it was for a reason.

She would even stand by his side for that reason.

But he didn't want to tell her how much he got hurt and what lengths he went to, just to save

Lily.

So, he just told her about the nightmares and how many old-aged people appeared in his dreams and haunted him.

He told her that this was the reason that he was never able to sleep more than an hour for the

whole month.

He lied by lengthening the duration but it was necessary.

He also removed the part about him taking pills and medicine to calm himself down.

After hearing his whole story, Katherine smiled slightly, sadness welling in her eyes.

She pulled him into a hug once more before reminding him to always share his troubles with

her.

As his elder sister and the only family in this world, she would stand by and support him no

matter what.

He assured her that he would and then, she put him back in her lap and started to ruffle his

hair again.

Silence ensued for a minute before she finally started to speak on how to solve this issue.
