GL (GalaxyLight): I'm surprised many people want to read this story. Guess many people like these kind of romance stories, even with half-sibling romance. Well, since it has to be that way, I guess it can't be helped. But for now, let's start some average school related chapter for this one.

Elesis's PoV

We had a lot of homework to do before, the first school holidays are about to begin. We decided to study, but I never expected that I'd agree on studying at my house. After we agreed on that, I quickly tidied up my room, especially the pictures of my little Elsword. Letting them see all of this will surely shame me with embarrassment and humiliation. Although they looked like they're departing for a battlefield at my place, because they were ready to go there before I was.

The next day, Elsword and I only had a little time before they came. I already packed everything, even though it wasn't entirely necessary. We'll be studying at Elsword's room, but it is always great to be better safe than sorry. We cleaned his room and I always searched spick and span for some dirt to be wiped away. I was finally finished cleaning and was resting on his bed.

"I'll go and get some tea, you go and rest." Elsword said to me before he left. I wanted to stop him and get tea myself but I was exhausted and it was already too late.

I rose up and realised that I was alone in Elsword's room. 'I'm alone in Elsword's room now...'

Suddenly a devil version of me popped into my mind. "Fufufu... if you're going to search his room, now's your chance!" She winked at me.

It was tempting until an angel version of me popped into the opposite side of my mind. "You should not do things like that! Think of what your brother and everyone else would think if they saw you."

I was stuck between the two. Both of them were right, yet I can't choose any. "And don't poke around." I was startled when I heard Elsword warning me when he came back.

After he was gone, I spotted a target besides Elsword's bed. It was his black shirt. It was my chance to finally hang onto it. Although, part of me didn't want to take it, but I took it anyway... until I realised I just took it. 'W-Wait! What am I doing?!' I thought to myself. I pushed it away from me and turned away from it and fought the love in me, but it was too strong. My arms came closer to me as my head was slowly turning forward. 'What am I...' My heart was pounding so fast, I couldn't think straight. 'What...' I finally lost it when I cuddled Elsword's shirt to my chest and my nose and mouth. I began smelling it as I was hugging it. It smelled exactly like him, it was like heaven.

It took a while for me to snap out of it when I suddenly heard a certain elf's voice. "E-Elesis!?" I turned in shock to see Rena and Aisha already here in Elsword's room. "W-What are you..." Rena's face was very red and Aisha's face was red too but in disgust of what she saw.

I didn't say anything, nothing but anger and rage was filling in me. I slowly placed the shirt back down on Elsword's bed and raised my temper as I thought of a painful plan. "To erase memories, a heavy impact is required..." I made a strong punch with massive force in front of them. "...To the brain."

Rena's PoV

Aisha and I became frighten and pale. Elesis looked like she want to punch our lights out when we saw her sniffing on Elsword's shirt. What she was saying is that she was going to knock us out on the head to make us forget what we saw and remember. When she looked like she was ready to deliver us a full blow, I stopped her. "We won't tell Elsword. We swear at the bottom of our hearts." I said to her, but all she did was sulk in the corner.

"Elsword's shirt, huh...?" Aisha said as she notices Elsword's shirt and held it.

"What are you doing, Aisha?!" I cried out as I saw her.

"N-Nothing! It's not like I want to smell a guy's shirt or anything!" Aisha turned to them with a red face. She then began eyeing on the shirt as she helplessly cuddled it to her face.

"HEY!" Elesis and I sweatdropped.

"Amidst the smell of daily life, I can smell on aroma of Elsword... Wait..." Realising what she was doing, she instantly got it out of her face. "AGH! You take it, Rena!" She then tossed the shirt to me.

"Don't throw it at me!" I shouted as I caught the shirt. "Besides, I'm not going to smell it! That's too inappropriate!"

"Give me that!" Elesis shouted out as she was pulling Elsword's shirt. "You guys are going to mess up my brother's shirt!"

"Don't pull! You'll be the one who'll mess up his shirt if you do that!" I cried out.

"What are you two doing with my shirt?" Elesis and I flinched as we turned around to see a red-haired boy holding a tray with four cups of tea and some biscuits. The moment we turned to Elsword, all of us girls screamed in panic. "You guys..." Elsword just sweatdropped. He then sighed and swiped the shirt away from me. "I'll take that didn't just happen, so let's get working." The rest of us nodded as we all felt guilty and miserable.

Aisha's PoV

With that behind us... it was time for some homework. We started with maths. Apparently, the chapter we're on is quite difficult, so we kept asking questions to one another, mostly Elesis because she was the smartest out of all of us. "Um... Elsword?" I spoke up as Elsword lifted his head up to me. "Would you be able to help me with this question?" I lend him my textbook.

"Sure." He replied. He began looking at the question I showed him. "Ah, this part."

"As expected from the Vice President of the El Search Party Club." Rena smiled.

"For this problem, you do this. Understand?" He said after scribbling something on the book. Although he only gave me the answer. He didn't even give out a formula. I looked at my textbook while sweatdropping.

"Um... Elsword. She won't get it if you just solve it for her." Elesis explained to him after getting the answer written on my book.

'Though I do appreciate giving the answer out.' I thought to myself.

"She won't?! Sorry about that." He apologized gloomily.

"...Shall I teach you, instead?" Elesis offered me.

"Fine by me..."

Elsword's PoV

I felt so embarrassed and ashamed to what happened there. I knew the answer to it but I didn't know I was suppose to write the formula in order to understand it.

"Elsword, you don't have to be so disappointed." Rena told me.

"I'm not that disappointed." I lied.

"You just need to take it slow and write what is necessary first. It's what Elesis is doing, right?" We looked at Elesis trying to explain the question to Aisha. Somehow, I feel more down than usual. "Don't worry, you'll catch up with her. I know it." She patted me on the head.

"Can you not pat me on the head like you're treating me like a child?" I asked angrily.

"Ah! Sorry!" Rena stuttered as she pulled her hand away from me.

Elesis's PoV

We began to continue our homework, this time Elsword was struggling. "I don't get it..." I heard him mutter.

I knew that this was my chance to get closer to Elsword. I tried to offer him for help. The problem was that I was stammering too much. "I-I'll hwel-hwelp yo..." I felt like if I was going to say it incorrectly, I'd die from embarrassment. But I won't let it win against me. I stopped and began to shake my head and cough a few times to clean my voice and tried again. "I'll help you with that." I offered cleanly.

"Uh, sure." Elsword sweatdropped as well as the others did.

"She did a retake?" Aisha and Rena said together in sync.

After a while of homeworking, we have finally finished. Elsword lied on the bed with a huge sigh of relief. "Now we should be able to rest for a while." He said.

"I can see that." Rena smiled. "So what do you suppose we'd do now we're here together?"

"Good question..." Aisha spoke. We all began to think of something until someone's stomach was growling. It was coming from the left side of the room which I was near it.

"S-Sorry..." I apologised as I was blushing deep red.

"I-It's alright! It happens all the time." Rena tried to make me feel better.

"I wanna eat some hot pot." I mumbled.

"What's the occasion?" Aisha asked.

"Well... The weather's warming up, so I thought I'd have some while it's still cold out." I explained.

"Hot pot's really good when it's all cold out." Rena agreed.

"Then why don't we have a hot pot party?" Elsword suggested. "We have a pot and good amount of food in the kitchen, so we should do it now while we still have time left."

"That's a good idea." Rena agreed. "In fact, I brought some food of my own."

"Let me guess, vegetables?" I guessed. Rena just nodded.

"What do you wanna eat, Aisha?" Elsword asked.

"How about... just fish if you have any..." She answered slowly.

"Why the big pause?" Aisha just turned away. Elsword tried to change the subject. "What about you, sis?"

"Hmm... I'll bring anything what you want in the pot, so what would you like?" I smiled.

"...Maybe just some meat, if that's okay with everyone else." I stared at Rena and Aisha and they just nodded.

"Alright! I'll get the pot and ingredients. You guys go set up a square table." I told them as I headed for the kitchen.

I got back to the table with the pot and the ingredients and it would seem like the three has already got the table prepared.

"Is everything ready?" Elsword asked.

"Yes!" I placed everything down on the table. "Except for one thing..." We all heard a ding from the kitchen. "Hot water is ready!"

"Talk about well-prepared..." I heard the three say before I got back to the kitchen to get the water.

After I poured the hot water into the pot, we were ready to place the ingredients in. "Well, let's get to it!" I stated. "I already cut everything up."

"Ah! I didn't cut any of mine!" Rena cried out.

"I'll take care of that, in a second. Give it here." I spoke as I got Rena's vegetables. Then I headed to the kitchen and then came back with a pair of knifes.

"Thank you. Wait. 'in a second'? What are you going to do?" Rena asked nervously.

"Just watch." I tossed Rena's ingredients in the air, grabbed the knifes on each hand, jumped towards the ingredients and sliced and diced the whole thing in an instant. "We're good." I smiled as I caught the ingredients with a basket.

"HUUUUUUUUH!?" The three shouted in shock.

Forgetting about what happened there, we waited for the water to be hot enough to boil after I added stock and seasoning in the pot. "Well, think it's about time we put the food in?" I asked them.

"What about the flavouring?" Elsword asked.

"No need, the stock and seasoning are all in so we're good." Rena explained.

Elsword agreed as he started placing the meat in, then the vegetables and the fish. And then began waiting until it was ready. "Considering the time of the year... this might've been nice to do this under the blossoms..." I suggested,

"Yeah..." Elsword agreed.

"Like this?" Rena showed us what's in her hand.

"That's a daisy, not a blossom." I told her.

"It is a flower, isn't it?"

"Yellow and pink are not even closely related."

"We're talking about colours now?" Elsword piped up.

"... You know what, forget it..." I sighed. I looked at the hot pot and it was letting out a lot of steam. "It's done." I opened the pot and saw the great colours of the food.

"Now's the best time to strike!" Rena cried out excitingly.

"Well... Yes... You sure are excited" I sweatdropped.

"It's delicious when they're nice and hot, you know."

"Then let's dig in!" We all shouted. We all dip in the soup and selected our food. I got some meat, Elsword got meat as well, Aisha got fish and Rena got some lettuce. We were excited as we popped the food into our mouths.

We all felt relaxed and warm as we felt the deliciousness and tastiness of the food. "IT'S GREAT!" Elsword was the first one to shout before anyone else were going to say the same.

While we were eating, Rena had something to say. "Oh right, Elsword, Elesis, didn't you two get scolded by the teacher at school?" She asked us.

We looked at each other and then nodded to her. "Did something happen?" Aisha asked us.

"We took a shortcut to the school store battlefield." I told them.

"It takes a while to get there from our classroom, after all." Elsword continued.

"What?" Aisha and Rena said confused.

Flashback

Elsword and I ran in the hallways as we headed to the store. "Barbeque Bear Sandwiches are only 50 ED! They're half off!" He shouted out.

"That's why we're running." I finished.

We were almost at the end to the staircase until we saw the teacher who saw us running in the hallways. "You two! No running in the hallwa-" She couldn't finish because we leaped out of the window, even though this is the second storey. "No jumping in the hallway!" Never heard that one before.

Thanks to our agile training, we landed to the ground without any pain on our legs. We heard the teacher screaming at us as we were running. And I think I heard Rena say; "That's a new one."

Flashback End

"And so we got yelled at." Elsword finished. "But hey, we won the sandwich battle."

"Don't try this at home, kids..." I said as I heard something breaking but ignored it.

"You should follow your own example..." Aisha sighed.

We continued eating as I had a chance to feed Elsword. "Elsword. Say 'aah'." I smiled. Elsword was confused but played along, which makes me happy. I decided to play with him a little more by swaying my spoon left and right and he tries to get his mouth to the spoon. I giggled as I continued, but that only lasted until he realised what was going on and clonked me on the head. "OW!"

It was almost sunset as we finished our dinner party. "Maybe we should invite Raven to go flower viewing or something..." Rena suggested.

The rest of us weren't sure with that idea. "I'm sure he'd be too busy with something like that." I told her.

"I'll go and ask him if he's free."

"Good luck with that..."

"Don't worry, it's just flower viewing we're talking about here, so I'm totally okay with bringing some spirit!" She cried while shaking her hands while blushing madly.

"THAT'S ALCOHOL! You should be worried! Hesitate a little bit, please!" I shouted back angrily.

"See you tomorrow!" Rena waved goodbye as she and Aisha were heading home.

"Don't be late!" Aisha reminded us.

"See ya!" Elsword and I waved back goodbye. It was now quiet in the house. It was almost time for bed, but I just had one thing to do. "Elsword?" I said to him.

"Yeah? What is it?"

"...Do you think I can have your shirt?"

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!?" Oh well, I tried.

GL: Lol, lol and double lol! Can't really get it through you thick skull, can you, Elesis? Oh well. I guess that was pretty fun. I wonder what I'm going to do in the next chapter... who knows?
