Dad's divine wisdom:
And, I destroyed her. Like seriously, I crushed all her hopes, and I think she will think twice before challenging me ever again because my time was only 6min 2sec.
Now, it might sound simple because the difference is only a couple of minutes but don't be fooled by this small number. It took me countless hours of honing my gaming skills to reach this level. Rin was already good, so unless she becomes the goddess of games overnight, it was impossible for her to defeat me anytime soon.
Smiling evilly, I glanced at her. And Rin shuddered as I unknowingly revealed my real self. They say that children used to cry rivers when they saw my serious expression, I know it is exaggerated, but still I'm pretty scary when I'm serious.
The only person I haven't been able to use this ability on is Mai. Kai shifted his feet and stood before Rin. I smiled in my heart, well, no matter how much these siblings fight, it seems they aren't bad children.
Rin gritted her teeth and pushed Kai away. The poor boy fell on his butt but didn't complain seeing his sister's expression.
“Come, do whatever you want?” Rin shouted.
I laughed a little. Why did Rin assume that I will hit her? There are so many ways other ways to enjoy this. People also believed that all bullies are muscleheads because they can't use soft control to deal with others and thus resort to violence.
But, no. It is a misconception. Not all bullies are muscleheads. There are rare freaks like me. Although I bullied a lot of people, I rarely ever touched innocent bystanders, and it was even rarer for me to hit someone directly. I usually forced the other parties to compete in sports.
So I leaned a little closer and said, “I'm not going to hit you. Why would I waste such a golden opportunity?”
Rin shuddered because she didn't think I would use the wish for something else. “Then what do you want?” She asked me, a little afraid and confused.
I laughed and said, “I'll use it later on, there is no rule on time limit. Till then, you can challenge me again. Let's say, if you beat me next time, then I'll forget about this promise. However, if you lose, then I get one more wish. How's that?”
Rin clenched her fist and glared at me. To me, however, it looked as if she was a cute bunny shooting little missiles at me. I laughed at her, and this infuriated her further.
If you encounter this tale on Amazon, note that it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.
Snorting, she left the house. Kai apologized in her stead and hurriedly followed to appease her. He sure was a good brother. Rather than being the little brother, he acted more like a big brother while Rin acted like a spoilt sister.
Mai asked me what I'm going to order from Rin, but I told her that it was a secret. She didn't look too happy that I wasn't willing to share it, but she didn't force me further. I spent the rest of the evening playing snakes and ladders with Mai.
And when it was seven o'clock, I went back to my apartment to clean up and get ready for the dinner. Grandpa wore a white tee and a pair of shorts; my dad looked like an uncle with a formal shirt while my grandpa looked like he was getting younger.
Even my mom told grandpa that he was rocking his white tee. Dad looked gloomy and grumbled something about; he was already married, and unlike grandpa, he wasn't chasing skirts.
Mom glared at Dad, and the latter shut his mouth. Grandpa laughed and dragged me to Mai's house. Today, Mai was already waiting for us. Since it was just a small dinner, she wore a simple blue dress and her hair was tied into a ponytail.
My lower jaw almost hit the floor as I stared at her in a daze. Grandpa sighed and was about to comment but then Granny Rose came out in a green dress adorned with some ribbon. It was grandpa's turn to stare with an open mouth.
Mai looked at us and laughed. Granny smiled shyly but didn't comment. Finally, it was still grandpa who recovered first and dragged me out of the apartment. We went back to tell mom and dad that everyone was ready and together all of us went to the Blacks apartment.
Mr.Black received us with a warm smile. He shook hands with father and bowed a little while greeting grandpa and granny. Mrs.Black came out of the kitchen to receive mom and talked a little with granny. Both women then teased granny that she was only getting younger.
Grandpa, dad, and uncle Black went to talk in the study while the women went to the kitchen. And, us children were left in the living room. Rin was still angry, and she glared at me, but I acted as if I didn't see her glare.
Mai smiled warmly and dragged me towards them. Kai understood Mai's intentions and also pulled Rin towards us. I was happy to reconcile, but since she was younger than me, and I wasn't at fault, so I wasn't going to apologize first.
A long moment passed in silence and the awkwardness only increased in the room. Kai was at a loss, and even Mai didn't know why I was acting so difficult.
Finally, Rin sighed and said, “Fine, I accept your victory. But, you should tell me your wish now. Then, I'll forget about everything.”
I was a little angry. Her argument made no sense, but then I remembered dad's golden words which he said is the basis for any relationship between a man and a woman.
Never argue with a woman because their minds don't understand logic. Even if you win based on logic, it will only make matters worse.
According to his divine wisdom which he gained in the fifteen years of his married life, it was best to agree with a woman. Even if you don't agree with her; first kill the agreement by agreeing and then think of a way to convince her.
So I sighed and shook hands with Rin. Well, your son will follow your golden words dad.
