Luna POV:

"ONEEEEEEEE-SAMA"

" Wha-What!?"

"PFFFFFFFT"

That's the act leading me to results. Hugging a girl smaller than me, while being watched by a boy whose face is wet from beer. This man-woman rudely spitted everything 'she' was drinking on the poor soul standing with them, right after my tackle hug.

Feeling yet again everyone's stare on me and the girl who isn't moving under me, thinking that as a good sign, went on with everything.

"Onee-sama, how have I missied you! Your imouto(little sis) was lonely, please hug me, don;t keep staring at me... go on... I might feel lonely yet again without a hug!" I kept talking, while hugging and rubbing myself on her.

"Evileye. Why didn't you tell us you had a sister, espescially a younger one?" The man-woman said to the girl in my embrace in a tone suggesting her disappointment. Propably thinking that she abandoned me, well might as well go with it.

"I was so scared. Waking up with noone in sight, hearing voices near me. They were robbers or slavers, beacuse they wanted to sell me to some nobles! Saying with like 'nobles might buy', 'it's exeptional'. I kept running and running, when finally arriving at this town, I found you, sitting here, talking!"

The atmosphere inside the inn became more solemn with each line leaving my lips. My story did have some truth to it and seeing that we are almost carbon copies of each other, everyone believed it. Of course not counting the part where this midget is the older sister.

Finally Evileye, as the woman called her, went out of her stupor and shooted with all her might and animosity in her voice she propably could muster, while still being hugged by yours truly.

"Who the heck are you calling your big sister, you crazy kid. I don't have any family, and stop hugging me! Stop with this rubbing on me.

*sniff* *sniff*

What the hell, I don't know you so got off me, you insane kid." Evileye kept yelling, while others looked at this scene with pity, hearing me sniff, propably imagining a crying face under the mask, thinking evileye left me to the wolves, rejecting me as her family.

"Evileye" Said Gagaran with a hard, disbeliving voice

"Evileye-sama" Murmured the blonde kid with sadness

"What!? I'm not related to her, who do you take me for!?" Screamed the girl, while looking at her companions for help, but seeing only contempt on their faces.

"Evileye, I thought, with the time we spent together I already knew most about you, but this?" Gagaran could not believe the situation she was in, as if a person she knew for a longe time became a stranger under a minute.

"I keep telling you, she is NOT my sister!"

"W-w-w-w-w" I started. This will end this, and if everything goes right, they will take me with them, or at least it will include me in their actions. This will allow me to get out of this situation, while still getting a chance to join them on something."

"Hmm? What is it little girl? Don't cry, I'm sure she doesn't mean anything she said" Gagaran went to us, and I felt a hand on my shoulder. Is she trying to comfort me?

"waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah" I wailed, and looked satisfied as most people inside turned away, being no longer able to keep looking at us.

"Hey, stop crying, I'm not your sister, your sister didn;t abandon you, you hear!?"

This scene kept going and slowly my cries got lower and lower. When everything was once again silent. Evileye got free as I stopped my ministrations, pretending to have fallen asleep.

"She was propably exhausted if she was running for a long time and searching for you Evileye-sama." This boy can also be usefull.

"I'm telling you, she's not my sister, goddamnit!"

"If she's not your sister, her reaction wouldn't be so dramatic, also you look almost the same in clothes and looks. You see that golden hair coming out of her hood? I can bet her eyes are same colour as yours too. Man-woman thing, I thank you for your supporting my cause.

"I don't care who she thinks I am, she is NOT my sister. This is the first time my eyes landed on her, and I won't forget a girl that went ballistic the moment she took notice of me. Ridiculous, sprinting and going for a tackle hug, on a complete stranger nonetheless. This day cannot be worse, than it already is. People will now think about me as someone abandoning her own family. What's with this crap!?

This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.

"Well, let's say that I believe you, what should we do with her in this case? She has fallen asleep and we cannot leave her here and now poor thing will go looking for you again. Leaving her here to the vultures is also out of question. Sister or not, she thinks of you as one so act like one and take care of her, at least until she collects herself or we explain this situation." Miss Gagaran, I'm sorry, for calling you a thing.

"Fine we will take her with us, but with us going on a mission, if she not awake by that time, we must leave her in our tent, where we have our base for this request. Is that clear?"

"Sure, sure. Who do you take me for? Taking a sleeping girl with us on a mission is out of question. In best case she will wake before we start, this way we can explain this case, and what to do with her. If she was only mistaken, and there is someone who looks like you...

I would definitely want to meet them at least once! Gahahaha" Laughed Gagaran imagining 2 'shorties' standing side by side

"Urk, just imagining, there might be someone identical to me... No, just no."

"Okay we have wasted enough time as it is, sorry cherry boy looks like we ahve to cut it short. Let's get going, Evileye take her with you, she thinks of you as her sister so least you can do is take care of her, for now anyway.

"Of course. Gagaran-san, Evileye-sama." The boy whose name I still don't know did something, propably bowed and left.

"Grrr, why the hell its I that has to carry her!?"

"As I said, she thinks of you as family, go with it for now. Later we will explain it slowly between ourselves, with he whole party present. First our quest, family trouble later.

"fine, fine, just stop with this already." I felt myself being lifted by this girl, surprisingly she is quite strong for a mage, but there is this feeling. There is something more to her. I cannot do anything now, ebacuse that would give me away, but later on, investigating it can bring some good results. If she is as mysterious as me, then surely she has something juicy hidden underneath that mask. Nevermind, let's wait for their mission, forcing myself on helping them, by awakening at last second is fine with me. Helping them might even give me some bonus points later on.

Leaving the inn, they kept going with me in Evileye's hands. Where? How should I know!?

----------------------------------------

Time skip: Evening

"What do you mean telling me Evileye has a sister!?" A woman with young voice shouted

"Don't you see the girl in her arms? She literally throw herself on shorty, the moment her eyes landed on our group in a tackle hug, with quite the speed I might also say. Then kept saying how evileye left her to the wolves, all alone, how she kept running and searching for her, then when she was rejected, she cried herself to sleep. So what do you think leader?" Gagaran explained shortly what happened in the inn.

"Are you kidding me?" The woman said, then approached 'shorty' with me still in her embrace, and I must say that it is quite comfy here. I don't know why, but i like it, being here is... nice. I... haven't felt something like this... like ever. This is new, but maybe I can be here a little longer, nobody has ever hold me as such like she is now, like something precious. She's quite cold outside, but inside she is gentle, if what I assume is right, then she was hurt by something in the past... Like me, she lost something or, rather never experienced it. Who would have known? There's someone other than me, longing for something that is beyond it's reach. We know it, and dont go looking for it, but that doesn't dull the pain.

Maybe keeping her company longer than planned can bring a change, something that is precious in my long life.

Feeling another hand on me, I moved closer to evileye, feeling a hand reaching for my mask, I buried myself in my victims breasts.

"Wha-What" Evileye, not expecting my reaction shouted

"Shhh. She likes you Evileye, also subconciously doesn't allow anybody near her mask. Maybe there's something to her story. lest respect her reaction and don't look, or maybe you try looking. If she's the same as you then maybe allowing only you to see her face is fine. The girl doesn't shy of your touch so try it. Proposed said leader

What to do? Do I allow her to see what's under my mask?

...

One person cannot do much, plus we are the same. Moving a bit as to allow her to see but not others, based from where all voices come from, feeling a hand on my mask that is slowly moving it aside in a way, allowing only her to see inside. A gasp that's all, then the wask was on my face again.

*Gasp*

"Wow. She's beautifull, so beautifull. No wonder she has a mask on all times and shies of any touch with intent of removing it" Evileye with a voice full of understanding explained them.

"She really looks like me under it, almost identical, and something, something I cannot explain happened when my eyes laned on her. But it's not something bad, qutie the opposite. I dont know what it is, but I want to feel it more."

"Dont tell me, you have fallen for her now, Evileye, hahaha" Laguhed Gagaran seeing her not everyday reaction

"We will contiune later with her awake if possible. We have a mission to complete." Their leader ended the conversation, and everyone left me with Evileye alone.

"What to do with you, with such face a hard life is guaranteed, your sister left you and in search for her you found me. Quite a story. First let's find you some place in my tent and with you awake, maybe we can work something out." Quitely talking to herself, and taking me somwhere, she laid me on a bed or at least something soft, with me hearing her leaving, but not without a comment that only thanks to my super-hearing I noticed.

"I dont know why, but it felt nice, did I really fall in love with her at first sight? Maybe these bards stories had some truth in them, with the only difference of a knight being a monster in reality."

----------------------------------------

Time skip: Night

WIth everything going as planned, well almost everything, my awakening can begin. The only problem is this princess ordered quest. That's fine, I cannot join them so let's leave after them. Gagaran can be my target first, if everything they said in my presence goes as planned, while secretly prefering to side with Evileye,my body started to move. First looking if someone is nearby and sleepily stretching at it.

Seeing nobody inside, I got up and left the tent. Outside my eyes caught the sight of ...
