Page | 11 Chapter 1: Coping with the Greyrat Sisters AFTER A LONG, grueling journey, my sisters Norn and Aisha had finally made it to my house in the city of Sharia. At the moment, they were sitting at the dining table, eating something I’d quickly tossed together. “Any good?” I asked cautiously. “Yeah!” called Aisha. “It’s great!” Norn stayed silent. She wasn’t eating as enthusiastically as her sister, but she hadn’t grimaced or complained, either. I was no match for Sylphie in the kitchen, but I’d at least managed to make something edible. Speaking of Sylphie—she’d left for work a little earlier. She’d wanted to stick around, but her responsibilities to Princess Ariel had to come first. I’d chosen to take the day off from school so I could talk things over with my sisters. Once they finished their meal, the three of us moved into the living room. Aisha and Norn sat next to each other on the couch, and I took the chair across from them. After serving them tea and letting them relax for a while, I finally decided to broach the main subject. “Well, I guess I should have said this earlier, but…it’s good to see you two. I’m really glad you made it here safely.” “Thank you, elder brother,” said Aisha with a demure smile. “It’s a pleasure to be here.” My younger sister was wearing a maid uniform, as usual. Her outfit had been a bit too big for her last time we met, but it fit perfectly now. In fact, judging from the small patches I saw here and there, it was probably the exact same outfit as before.
