The World in Alex’s Eyes [Part 2]

[Alex's POV]

"Big Sister Yue, are you looking for Master?" I asked. If I remembered correctly, Big Sister's position was the Dorm Head of this dormitory. Perhaps her visit was part of her role as this dormitory's leader?

"Master?" Yue Ying frowned. "Alex, are you still playing a role-playing game with Abbie?"

Role playing game? Ah! That was the excuse that Master used the other day so that Big Sister Yue wouldn't get suspicious of me.

A game, yes. Perhaps Master was really treating this whole thing like a game. I needed to explain to Master, at a later time, that the world of Edea was very real and not this so-called 'game' that Big Sister Alice kept telling her.

Wait, perhaps, Big Sister Alice had a reason for keeping everything a secret? I'd better confirm it with her later. I didn't want to keep any secrets from Master!

"Yes," I nodded my head. "Master, is Master."

"Mmm." Yue Ying pondered. "If I join your game, will you also call me Master?"

"Big Sister is Big Sister. I'd like Big Sister Yue to stay as my Big Sister Yue."

"I see…"

Um? Was it just my imagination or did I see a tinge of disappointment in Big Sister Yue's face? I didn't want to call others Master aside from Master. Even if it was Big Sister Yue asking me, I wouldn't make any compromises.

"Good. I'll be Alex's Big Sister."

"Un!"

Big Sister Yue sat on Master's bed and gestured for me to sit beside her. I sat obediently by her side and waited. It seems that she wanted to tell me somethi- oof!

Before I knew it, I found myself pulled inside Big Sister Yue's tight embrace. She gently held the back of my head and tried to pull me closer. My face rested on her chest and I could smell the fragrance of roses from her body.

It seems that she had just finished taking a bath before coming here. Her scent was very different from Master. Big Sister Yue's fragrance was like a "Rose", while Master smelled like "Gardenias".

"Good Boy," Big Sister whispered in my ears. "Let's stay like this for a little while longer, ok?"

"Un…"

We stayed like that for a few minutes until I heard the door knob of the bathroom door being opened. I gently moved away from Big Sister Yue's embrace and looked expectantly at the door. A few seconds later, Master came out fully dressed with a towel draped over her head.

"Dorm Head?" Abbie asked in surprise. "Is there something that I can do for you today?"

Big Sister Yue shook her head and lightly patted my head. "I just came to see Alex and ask if the two of you had any plans for today."

Master smiled awkwardly, but still nodded her head in affirmation. "We are going to my parent's house. I need to tell them that I'm taking care of Alex."

"I see," Yue Ying muttered. Her head was bent low and I was unable to see her expression.

However, from what I could see, Big Sister Yue seemed down. Maybe she hadn't eaten yet? Un, that might be the case. People needed to eat in order to be happy. I still remembered Mama Sophie's words back at the orphanage.

"Remember this Alex. One cannot think well, love well, and sleep well if one has not dined well. So, make sure to eat a lot and grow strong and healthy!"

That was Mama Sophie's philosophy in life. She has a similar build to Master. Both of them had very healthy bodies!

(A/N: Make sure to eat a balanced diet and avoid eating midnight snacks!)

"Big Sister, have you eaten yet?" I asked. I wanted Big Sister to always be smiling, so I needed to make sure that she was eating properly. "If not, why don't we have breakfast together?"

Big SIster Yue raised her head and looked at me expectantly. I knew it, it seemed that Big Sister hadn't eaten anything. That is troubling. I better tell her that she needed to eat properly everyday.

"Big Sister, you should eat properly," I said in a very serious manner. "Eating properly makes you feel good and look good. Just look at Master, she's very healthy because she eats properly."

"Alex is right, your Big Sister will listen to your advice."

"Un! Let's eat breakfast together!"

"Lets!"

I nodded my head in satisfaction. It was a good thing that Big Sister understood the importance of eating.

"I accidentally cooked more than I usually do for breakfast," Yue Ying said as she held my hand with sparkling eyes. "Why don't the two of you join me for breakfast?"

Big Sister's handmade food? I wanted to eat it, but Master might have other plans for breakfast. I didn't want to cause trouble for Master, so I decided to wait for her decision.

'Um? Why is Master's face turning pale? Is she sick?' I thought as I looked at my Master's face anxiously.

"A-Alex, do you want to have breakfast with Dorm Head?"

"Un!"

"Then go ahead and have breakfast with her," Master said with a cramped smile on her face. "I still have a few things I need to do. I'll pick you up in half an hour."

Master then faced the Dorm Head and told her to look after me while she was away. I could see the corner of Big Sister's Yue's lips twitch a bit. I think she was trying to stop herself from smiling. Big Sister should really learn how to smile around people. It would give them a better impression of her.

"Let's go Alex, I'll let you eat my cooking."

"I look forward to it, Big Sister Yue."

"Mmm."

I waved at Master before leaving the room. She mouthed a few words to me and all I could do was nod my head in confusion. I thought about the words that Master told me as we headed to Big Sister Yue's room

"Alex, please don't die."

That was what Master tried to tell me before I left. Master could be strange at times. How can I possibly die from eating food?

Big Sister Yue firmly held my hand. She was humming something as we walked towards the direction of her room. Her mood seemed to have greatly improved. I knew that Mama Sophie's words were right. Eating really makes people feel better.

I couldn't wait to eat Big Sister's delicious cooking. It was such a shame that my Master wouldn't be able to experience it. There was no other choice, I just had to eat her share as well.
