Sword Art Online Vol. 15 – Alicization Invading Chapter 15 - In Northern Lands 38 | P a g e She found out from the village that situations like this would be where an elder sister, older by many years, should give her little sister some spending money, but unfortunately, she did not have even a single copper coin in her pockets. Losing even a mere shear would be horrible in her current financial situation, so she carries around money only when out to shop. To make up for that, she brushed Selka’s bright brown hair. Her little sister smiled with her breathing calmed down, but Alice noticed faint gloom on her expression and tilted her head. “What is it, Selka? Is something bothering you?” She asked while holding the wheelchair’s grips and Selka opened her mouth after brief hesitation. “…Erm… there’s another request to deal with the trees at the cleared land from uncle Barbossa for you, big sister…” “What, is that all? There is nothing for you to worry about, thank you for delivering the message.” Alice replied with a smile, but her sister’s crestfallen expression lifted with a discontented pout. “But… those people care only for themselves. Don’t you think so too, Kirito?” She questioned Kirito, sitting on the wheelchair, but the youth looking downwards gave no response, naturally. Still, Selka’s tone turned increasingly intense as though he was in agreement. “Neither Barbossa-san nor Redack-san bother trying to let you stay in the village, so how could they still get you to help out when they’re in trouble? I know I am the one delivering the message, but you don’t have to accept it if you don’t want to, big sister. I will be sure to bring food from home for you.” After letting a giggle escape from those words, Alice pacified her sulking little sister.
