The Extra's Indifference

(2 months time skip)

I lifted the cross in my hand to see more clearly. The Cross was made from dark blue crystal, the cross was hung with golden chains and the golden chain's other end was tied to the small blue sapphire.

======

Name: Sapphire Cross

Rank: [B]

Telepathy: [B]

Obscurity: [B+]

Bloody Healing: [C–]

======

I worked on this artifact for 2 months to give to Lucy on her birthday and i managed to finish it on her birthday.

Obscurity is a passive enchantment that hides the artifact's magical nature which made cross looks like an ordinary earring.

I added Bloody Healing because it is more effective than normal healing magics.

Every element has similarities. For example i can heal myself even with ice magic but it wouldn't have any visible effect but with blood magic, i can even heal my crushed limbs with the same effort.

Anyway, i took out a cross that was the same as the one that i finished but this one was made from purple crystal and only have Telepathy, nothing else.

I didn't have an earring hole, so i strengthened the earring's needle with mana and pierced my earlobe. My skin was transformed, so it was hard to pierce with mundane needles.

I wore the purple cross earring and wrapped the blue one with Silent Scream.

After wrapping the Sapphire Cross, i called Aria.

"Aria buy a cake with a flavour that Lucy likes. We have a birthday to celebrate." i said and Aria went to buy a cake.

I went to Lucy's room and knocked on the door.

"Lucy can i come in?" i asked.

We separated rooms fully after a few weeks because Lucy said that she felt weird when she is sleeping with me. Lucy finally hit the puberty fully.

"Come in!" i heard Lucy's shout and entered.

Lucy's room wasn't decorated or something like that because we would go back to Ceurie's house.

Lucy was reading a book which she made it habit for herself after a few days of forcing herself.

"I am going out to stroll around. Do you want to come?" i asked.

Lucy quickly lifted her face towards me and said happily.

"Sure let's go!"

Lucy ran to my side and hugged my arm. I said to her let go of my arm or else we would fall but she didn't listen just happily hugged.

'Well i spoiled her too much than i intended for and this made her hard to deal with. Though the fault is on me.' that was my conclusion of Lucy's spoiled behaviour.

"What do you want to do Lucy?" i asked Lucy. Because i thought that it would be more effective than strolling around randomly.

"Why are you asking me, brother? you are the one that wanted to stroll around." Lucy asked me back.

'Did this girl forget her own birthday?'

"Silly girl did you forget that today is your birthday, so we have to do what you want. Ask anything that i am capable of it, so that i would do it" I said 'anything' because i knew that Lucy wouldn't ask me something impossible or immoral.

"Anything?" Lucy asked.

"Not anything my dear, only if it's within my reach." i answered.

When Lucy heard my answer, she became excited after that started to fidget around.

"uhmm Brother?" Lucy caller me hesitantly. Well i could guess what she was thinking right now.

"Hmmm?" i mumbled and looked at her blankly.

"Can we have a date?" Lucy murmured. Her voice was too low that i didn't hear her completely.

"Ha?" i pretended that i didn't hear her.

"I said can we have a date!?" Lucy shouted in embarrassment and buried her face in her hands.

"If it's just a date, i can do it for my Lucy." i answered like it was a normal thing to do.

Well, i expected her wish would be a date or something like that because she can't want anything more than that, we are siblings after all.

******

I didn't cast my usual illusion magics because Lucy didn't want and went to sell 10 [C] rank beast mana cores and got 15 gold.

15 golds were more than enough for Lucy.

Afterwards, we went to a clothing store because Lucy's clothes became small to her.

Lucy tried too many clothes and i complimented her.

After buying clothes for Lucy, we strolled around the streets, ate some street food and went back home.

It was a boring day but if i endure a little more, i will be free for months. That is what i did, endured.

Though there were too many attempts to kidnap us but they were just low ranked fighters. So i scared them with my aura or killed them stealthily, like materialising ice needle in their heart or something like that.

******

I sat down and Lucy laid down on my lap, so i started caress her hair.

"Where did you get this earring brother?" Lucy asked and pointed to my earring.

"I made it. It looks good doesn't it?" i said.

"Its shape is unusual but it looks good on brother." Lucy agreed.

"I made this earring with amethyst and a purple crystal that reminded me, my Lucy's beautiful eyes." I said with a gentle smile.

I started to show how much of a sis-con i am to Lucy. Though it was just me spouting bullshit.

"But brother's eyes are more beautiful than mine." Lucy said with confusion on her face. Well, she was right, my eyes were more beautiful than her mundane eyes.

"Well i see them every day, so they look boring to me now. But Lucy's eyes are the most beautiful when she looks at me, i can feel your love for me from your eyes and this makes me infinitely happy." I said and a loving smile appeared on my face.

I would have died from embarrassment normally because of the sentences i said, if it's not my curse.

"Brother! what are you saying?" Lucy shouted and hid her face.

"What? Doesn't my dear Lucy love me?" i asked with a sad expression.

"No! I didn't mean that way, your phrasing was embarrassing."

"Thank goodness i was scared for a moment." i released a sigh of relief.

Sigh!

"So if i say that i made this earring originally a matching one, would you like it?" I said and took out the Silent Scream which was box right now. I transformed back to ring and Sapphire Cross dropped on my palm.

Lucy who saw the earring excited and threw her arms around my neck.

"Brother this is too beautiful. Is it okay for me to take this?" Lucy asked.

"I made this especially for you, if you won't take it i would be sad." I answered with a smile.

I took the earring and put them on Lucy.

"Ah!" Lucy groaned in pain.

Well, i forgot that this would make normal people feel pain.

"Oh, i am sorry Lucy, are you alright?" I asked in a concerned tone.

"Yes brother, it just shocked me a second." Lucy said.

'Well, she just lied to me because she thought that i would feel sad because of it, what an idiot.'

"Okay. These earrings are special ones Lucy do you know why?" i asked.

"Because brother made it?" Lucy answered.

"Well no. This earring is [B] rank artifact that i carved myself. It is enchantments are Telepathy, Obscurity and Bloody Healing."

"Obscurity makes this artifact looks like that of a mundane accessory but high rank personels can distinguish it.

With telepathy enchantment you can talk to me via my earring in long distances."i said and pointed at my earring.

"With bloody healing you can heal yourself via blood of someone alive." i said and bit off my finger skin and drew blood.

"Activate it and your pain will reduce."

"If i activate it, would that hurt brother?"

"You have only small injury, so no."

Lucy activated the enchantment.

I felt something minuscule taken from me and Lucy healed her ear.

"Do you like my gift?" i activated the telepathy and spoke to Lucy.

Lucy was scared for a moment because suddenly she heard my voice in her head.

"I like it brother thank you! I love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you i love you..." she replied telepathically and repeated the last sentence so many more times.

'Well, it seems she forgot to deactivate telepathy enchantment.'

"I love you too my dear sister but why are you saying the same thing over and over again." i emphasized the 'sister' word and wore a confused expression.

Lucy heard my words and noticed that she didn't deactivate the enchantment, became beet red and buried her face in my chest.

"You don't have to be embarrassed about that my dear, i too love my sister so much you know." i said.

Lucy nodded but didn't lift her head.

"We didn't eat any cake today and on birthdays cakes are a must right?" i asked.

"Aria bring the cake!" i called Aria.

Aria brought the cake and we ate like new couples.

Lucy wanted to feed me herself, so i did the same thing.

After that it was time to rest for the night, so i went to my room and got in bed. But after a few minutes, the door knocked and Lucy came in.

"Why did you come to my room Lucy?" i asked.

"I wanted to sleep with brother." She said slowly.

"It is okay because today is your birthday. But this is a one-time thing okay?" i agreed.

"Yes!" Lucy nodded and got in bed. Lucy hugged me tightly and pressed her undeveloped breast to me.

'is she doing this on purpose?' was my thought on this matter but i threw the idea off my head.

'Lucy is a shy girl and it is impossible for her  to do this thing on purpose.' was my conclusion.
