Irene, a little surprised at the beginning, calmly listened as Ina told her about herself.

From Ina's story, Irene realized that perhaps Ina and Idan have the same father, and they are siblings.

Irene also learned about the frequent moves that Ina's family made. It was only after the disaster and the death of his father that he and his mother settled in this city.

When Ina finished her story, she looked at Irene, waiting for her reaction. Irene was lost in thought.

"Miss Irene," — Ina addressed her.

"Irene, just call me Irene," Irene corrected her. "It's even better if you call me big sister."

"Really? Are you okay with that?" — Ina was pleasantly surprised.

"Yes, you can call me big sister," Irene confirmed.

"Big sister," — Ina repeated, and she liked it very much. "Big sister."

"Yes, that's better," Irene nodded, pleased, remembering for a moment how Arabel communicated with the Valkyries, calling them her sisters, and they responded by addressing Arabel as a younger sister.

"Big sister, do you have a boyfriend?" Ina asked a question that interested her very much. She wasn't really hoping for Irene's answer, but she decided to ask anyway.

"Yes, I have a boyfriend," to her surprise, Irene answered the question.

Ina couldn't believe her ears.

Instead of confirming, Irene just smiled at her.

"Who is this lucky guy?" Ina continued to ask, and, remembering the rumors, she added, "Handsome Arslan?"

Irene was pleasantly surprised to hear from Ina Arslan's nickname, "Handsome Arslan." She knew that on the Internet, women and young girls, schoolgirls like Ina, usually called him that.

Ina, of course, noticed her reaction. Her eyes shone, and she asked with a smile,

"Am I right? Is your boyfriend handsome Arslan?"

"Yes, you guessed it, it's Arslan," Irene gave up and confessed.

"Hehe," — Ina giggled. "Do you know how many of my girlfriends you've broken with your confession?"

"How many?" asked Irene, intrigued by the number.

"I can't say for sure, but almost half of all my friends," Ina laughed.

"Unlike them, I've always been on the side of those who fantasized and thought that you were a great couple and suited each other," she confessed, trying not to show her embarrassment.

"And you? Do you have anyone you like?" Irene asked a counter question, realizing that Ina's age was just right for the moment when girls and boys begin to show interest in the opposite sex.

"Of course, I like some guys from school, but I don't have anyone I can call my boyfriend," Ina confessed.

"Really?" — Irene did not believe.

"I'm telling the truth," Ina replied and added: "I... I'm not that pretty like the other girls."

Irene, having heard these words from Ina, looked at her carefully. Ina was slender, with long black hair and brown eyes like hers and Idan's. She hadn't finished growing yet, and her forms weren't fully formed, but Irene was confident that if she inherited her mother's genes, then everything would be fine.

There were a few freckles on her face, but that only made her unique. Compared to her brother Idan, as he was in his day, Ina looked much more attractive.

Remembering how handsome Idan became after he became an awakened one, Irene was convinced that if Ina also became a cultivator, then in the future she, like her brother, would turn from an "ugly duckling" into a real beauty.

"Don't worry so much. You're still growing up, and I assure you, when you grow up, you'll be a real beauty. Crowds of guys will run after your beauty," Irene urged.

"Do you think so?" — Ina asked, clearly not believing her words.

"Believe me, I'm telling the truth," Irene said with confidence that Idan would not leave his younger sister Ina, after he had already learned of her existence, and would help her on the path to cultivation.

At that moment, Irene noticed Idan's appearance. Before he could reveal himself to Otha, Irene asked Ina a question.

"Tell me, Ina, would you like to have an older brother or a younger one?" Irene asked.

"Of course I would like an older brother," Ina replied without hesitation.

"Oh, and why is that?" asked Irene about her choice.

"I have a few friends who have brothers, and I've seen how they interact, and I've realized that having an older brother is better than having a younger one," Ina said.

"My friends' older brothers always take care of their younger sisters, help them and are always ready to help. They pamper their younger sisters. But having younger brothers makes my friends constantly worry, swear, monitor them, help and solve their problems."

"Therefore, I would prefer to have a caring older brother who helped, supported and pampered me, rather than a troubled younger one," Ina summed up, and Irene, hearing this, laughed.

"It follows from your words that I was unlucky to have a younger brother," Irene said, laughing, to some extent agreeing with the Other. She remembered what Idan was like as a child.

"You have a brother," Ina recalled. "Hmm...Idan, that was his name, wasn't it?"

"Yes, that's my little brother's name," Irene nodded, while watching Idan's reaction, who was listening to their conversation.

"I saw a video where your brother proposed to Arslan's older sister," Ina suddenly said. "I can't understand how a beauty like Arabel could agree to the proposal of a guy like your brother Idan?"

"Ho, why is that?" asked Irene, showing interest.

"Well..." Ina hesitated slightly, not sure if she should speak. After all, Idan was Irene's younger brother, and it was a little awkward for her to express her thoughts.

"Don't worry, say whatever you think about my little brother, I won't say anything," Irene assured her with a smile.

"First of all, he's not that handsome to compare with Arabel," Ina said. "I read about him that he's a drunk and a loser who blames you, his older sister, for all his troubles. That he's an ungrateful and spoiled younger brother that no one would want to have or even wish on an enemy."

Idan was shocked, speechless. He stood aside, listening to how his new younger sister saw him.

While Irene couldn't help but laugh until she cried.
