317 – The Twins Are Destined Rivals #3

“Look at this! There’s a bunch of strange mushrooms growing here!”

Narmi found mushrooms sprouting in a corner. They were big, with thick caps and stems.

“They’re so colorful and shiny!”

Just as Narmi said, their vibrant colors and shimmering appearance were quite striking. It seemed that their glow had caught the curious eye of Narmi, but as for me...

I didn’t know much about mushrooms, but vibrant colors were often nature’s defenses. In other words, they would probably be poisonous.

“Should I pick one? It might be an extraordinary mushroom. Since I discovered it first, I’ll name it the Narmi Mushroom!”

As Narmi eagerly rubbed her hands together, Mirna, who had her arms crossed nearby, frowned deeply.

“Narmi. How many times do I have to tell you not to touch everything recklessly? We don’t even know where we are. There could be traps. We’re not here for a picnic, so stop being so careless!”

It was a fairly strict remark.

But given the situation, it was also a reasonable one.

Of course, Narmi puckered her lips and mockingly repeated Mirna’s words, “Stop being so careless.” She clearly wasn’t pleased with her sister constantly interfering with everything she wanted to do.

Then, Narmi suddenly dashed over to me.

“Theo, Unnie is being so mean to me. Say something...!”

“... Narmi! Don’t be rude to Sir Theo! Let go of him right now!”

At last, Narmi and Mirna each grabbed one of my arms and started pulling me toward their respective sides. Being tugged back and forth between two women like this—

When was the last time I’d experienced something like this? Oh, right, my little sisters at the orphanage would do this. But back then, it was cute—this, however, wasn’t.

Tududuk-.

Narmi and Mirna’s strength was a little stronger than that of an ordinary person, so it felt like my arms were being yanked out of their sockets.

“Hieek...! My arms are stretching...!”

An involuntary scream escaped my lips.

The scream of a fairy was said to have a significant effect, often evoking sympathy from those who heard it.

I figured my cry would make the twin sisters stop fighting and let go of my arms. And indeed, it seemed to have some effect.

“Narmi, Sir Theo is in pain! Let go of his arm!”

Guuuk.

Mirna tugged me even harder toward her side. Not to be outdone, Narmi tightened her grip and yanked me toward her.

“You let go, Unnie! I grabbed Theo’s arm first! You’re always acting superior just because you were born a few minutes earlier!”

It seemed the rift between these twins ran deep.

I thought things had been peaceful between them since the whole earring incident with Narmi, but it looked like they hadn’t truly reconciled after all.

Perhaps it was only natural for siblings, especially twins, to constantly compete and keep each other in check from birth to the end. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

I didn’t have blood-related siblings, but I did grow up with plenty of brothers, sisters, and younger siblings. Scenes like this, while chaotic, were familiar and comforting.

“Let go already!”

“You let go first!”

Duduk.

“Guaahhh...!”

“Ahhh! T-Theo!”

A pain I’d never felt before surged through my shoulder—a sensation of something being pulled out. Before I could even process the unfamiliar feeling, a wave of shock followed. One of my shoulders had been dislocated.
