Chapter 88 But it’s not cool

Bell is having trouble sleeping!

Even when he went to school at Hogwarts, Bell never suffered from insomnia. And just tonight, Bell suffered from insomnia for the first time!

He was thinking over and over in his mind, what if Shanna stopped paying attention to him from now on? If I had known earlier, I should have let the Sorcerer's Stone die. The Sorcerer's Stone is not as important as my sister!

However, no matter how much Bell regretted it, what had happened could not be changed.

After spending the second day in fear, on the morning of the third day, Bell stood outside the house with his suitcase and said goodbye to his teacher and his wife.

"Bell, be sure to come and see us more often when you have time!"

Mrs. Perenal looked at Bell reluctantly. Although Bell never played with her, she still liked Bell very much. After all, he was Nico's only disciple.

"I will. Teacher and Mistress must come to my home if they have time. My castle is very beautiful, and I am also planning to raise more magical creatures in the castle. I believe you will like it there."

"Okay, we will definitely go. Bell, how are you going to go back? Do you want us to see you off?"

"No, I will use Apparition."

After saying goodbye to the two of them, Teacher Nico sent Bell out of the protective barrier.

After coming out, Bell found himself by a small river, completely different from the forest where he came from.

For the sake of safety, Teacher Nico will only tell the other person the location of the entrance after an acquaintance asks to visit, and the location of the entrance will be different every time.

Now as long as Bell is willing, he can appear outside his castle in the next second. But at this moment, Bell felt very guilty. The unknown is the scariest thing. What will be waiting for him?

Nothing can be solved by hesitating! After cheering himself up for 10 minutes and feeling like he would explode if he continued fighting, Bell finally made up his mind: 'No matter what the way of death, he will accept it calmly! ’.

…

With a 'pop' sound, Bell appeared outside his castle.

Looking at the castle in the distance, Bell felt that the breath he had just pumped up was rapidly leaking out.

In order to ensure that he would not run away, and most importantly because he didn't know where to go even if he wanted to escape, Bell walked quickly towards the direction of the castle. He took a deep breath.

"I come back……"

‘Boom~~’

The castle gate came flying again. This time the door hit Bell straight in the face, knocking him far away.

(￣#)３￣)

A large pit appeared on the ground in the distance, and Bell was lying in the center of the pit.

Look at the mushroom cloud slowly rising into the sky.

"...Shan, Shanna's...magic power...is...increased...again."

Bell suddenly...

…

Ahem, just kidding.

In fact, Bell did not suffer any harm except being disgraced. This level of impact was not enough to injure him.

And he was able to block the door, but in order to calm his sister down, he was shot away on purpose.

Bell struggled to climb out of the pit and saw his sister running towards this side anxiously. He was about to admit his mistake and apologize, but the words were already on his lips, but he had no chance to say them.

"Brother, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hit you! I...I didn't know why, so I knocked the door open."

Shanna looked like she was about to cry and looked at Bell helplessly.

Bell was stunned for a moment.

‘This is wrong! The script shouldn't be like this! Shouldn't I be the one kneeling down to apologize and beg for forgiveness? How come Shanna is apologizing? Could it be that my way of apparating was wrong? ’

Seeing that Bell was silent and didn't speak, Shanna thought her brother was angry. Now the little girl was completely panicked, and the grievances she had accumulated for nearly two months burst out.

"R-I'm sorry——!"

o(╥﹏╥)o

Seeing his sister actually crying, Bell felt heartbroken. Let the script die. It’s important to comfort Shanna first.

"Sanna, don't cry, don't cry. My brother is not angry. Shanna doesn't need to apologize. If I want to apologize, it should be me. My brother shouldn't not go home during the summer vacation. I promise there won't be a next time, okay?" Shanna, please forgive her brother this time, okay? Stop crying, be good."

Bell tried to comfort him hurriedly, but the effect was basically ineffective.

In the end, Bell, who really didn't know what to say, could only hug Shanna gently and stay with her quietly.

"Cry if you want. It will make you feel better if you cry. Brother will always be with you."

"Whoa-! Ah-!"

I don't know how long it took, but Shanna's crying gradually became quieter. After a while, Bell looked down and found that Shanna had fallen asleep in his arms.

Bell picked up Zannah and walked towards the castle. Only then did he realize that William and Elena were standing at the gate of the castle looking at him and Shanna. They must have been standing like this for a long time.

"Bell!" Elena said sternly but quietly, "There won't be a next time!!!"

William, who had no say in the family, watched quietly and did not dare to speak.

What can he do? If he dared to speak nice words for Bell, he might not even be able to eat.

As for joining in and saying bad things about Bell?

snort! Don't look at the angry people, big and small, acting like every mistake is Bell's fault. But if he dared to say something bad about Bell to his face, the two men's guns would be aimed at him in the next second.

So it’s better to keep your mouth shut and minimize your presence. After all, strictly speaking, he is also an accomplice?

"Well, there won't be a next time!"

Just now, Bell didn't just hold Zanna and did nothing else. He was thinking, why?

He obviously vowed to protect Shanna forever, but why did he make his sister cry again and again? If the last time I went to Hogwarts was excusable, this time it couldn't be forgiven.

The answer is actually very simple. Just like Helena stole the crown in order to gain wisdom beyond her mother's, Belle ignores the feelings of her family in pursuit of magic. Compared with Shanna and family, is exploring the universe really that important?

After realizing this, Bell suddenly felt so stupid. He didn't expect that one day he would do something that would put others at the expense of others. Fortunately, Bell was lucky enough to realize this before things became irreversible.

…

After carrying Shanna back to the bedroom, Bell didn't go anywhere, just sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Shanna quietly.

As he watched, Bell suddenly wanted to laugh. Before coming back, he was so nervous and uneasy, and even mentally prepared to face any punishment. Unexpectedly, all the preparations were in vain. Not only was he not criticized harshly, but he became the one being apologized to.

‘Perhaps I should give more trust to Shanna and my family. ’ Bell thought.

After thinking about it, Bell, who had not had a good rest for two days, couldn't resist the sleepiness and fell asleep on the edge of the bed.

…

It was already noon when they woke up again. Bell and Shanna were called by their mother Elena.

"Get up and have lunch soon. I haven't eaten breakfast well, so I can't do without lunch. To celebrate your return, I asked the house elves to start preparing last night."

After Shanna got up, she looked at her brother sitting next to her, her cheeks feeling hot. The little girl didn't know how to face her brother.

Bell, who noticed Shanna's embarrassment, reached out and touched her head with a smile.

"I'm back, Zannah."

"...Welcome home, brother!"

Go home feeling good!
