Chapter 21

"A... Auntie?"

"Hah... I guess I really am getting old."

Himeko saw that Klee called Xing and March Seventh "big sisters," but called her "auntie," and immediately forced a wry smile.

"I think the reason this little girl calls you 'auntie' isn't because of how you look."

"It's a difference in temperament."

"Little March and Xing are full of youthful energy, like children."

"But your temperament is far too dignified and steady, which is why children end up calling you 'auntie.'"

Welt analyzed in all seriousness.

"Uncle Yang makes a very good point, Sister Himeko, you're not old at all."

"March is right!"

Xing and March Seventh chimed in together.

"Is that so? Then should I try to be a little more lively from now on?"

"Heh, forget it, that wouldn't really suit me. Being an auntie is pretty nice too."

Himeko pondered for a moment, then finally smiled and shook her head.
