"Which one is Little Sister's brother?" Dracula stared at the image on the "magic mirror," watching without blinking for a while until his eyes began to ache, still unable to find the person he was looking for. "I can't keep looking!" Dracula shifted his gaze elsewhere, purposely directing his eyes out the window to shake off the dizziness in his mind. It was futile. The images presented by the "magic mirror" were not static; instead, they changed rapidly and shook violently; if anyone stared at the mirror for a long time, the scenery in front would soon turn upside down. "My head feels so uncomfortable... Little Sister, who is your brother after all?" Dracula asked for the second time.
Objectively speaking, her observation skills were still good; even facing those with neutral appearances, she could instantly discern whether the other person was a man or a woman. This time was no exception. After staring for a long time, Dracula immediately came to a conclusion: all the people shown by the "magic mirror" were female, with no sign of a male. But that was very odd.
Dracula scratched his head and recalled what Wang Yafu had told her in the past, analyzing it repeatedly in his mind. Finally, he concluded that Wang Yafu was looking for a "brother," not a "sister" or "little sister." This conclusion was indisputable, and Dracula found it even more perplexing: if the "magic mirror" had indeed found Wang Yafu's brother, there was no way it could have made a mistake.
In that case, Dracula sincerely couldn't understand why, no matter how hard she looked, she couldn't find a male who could be called "brother" in terms of gender? Did it mean that in Little Sister's hometown, "brother" actually meant 'sister'? After a speculation surfaced in his mind, Dracula immediately shared it. If Wang Yafu nodded or said "yes," Dracula's doubts would be dispelled on the spot. But could she get what she wished for?
"What is 'sister' saying? In your eyes, do you all consider 'sister' as 'brother' and identify 'brother' as 'little sister'?" After the speculation was refuted, Dracula wasn't disappointed but found it harder to suppress her curiosity. Keeping such emotions bottled up wasn't good for her health. Thus, Dracula directly asked, "Little Sister, have you recognized your brother among the four young girls in the picture?" "I have," Wang Yafu replied, pointing to the black-haired girl in plain dress without hesitation, "He is my brother."
With Wang Yafu's pointing finger, Dracula felt like her eyes were useless; her long observation was no match for the casual glance of a little girl. At the same time, Dracula's opinion of Wang Yafu also underwent a change.
At first, Dracula believed the other party was just a cute "mascot," capable of improving luck and occasionally pleasing the eyes when kept at home. However, aside from that, this little girl had no other merits.
The catalyst that prompted Dracula to change his views was the moment of recognition by Wang Yafu just then. Dracula realized: this little girl might have exceptional talents, or perhaps a special ability to see through the essence of things; and this ability was something she herself didn't possess.
"Little sister, can you tell big sister: what is the secret to recognizing your brother?"
Ignorance needs to be questioned, and what you don't know requires seeking advice—this was Dracula's proud yet not arrogantly self-confident character.
"A secret?"
After being asked this question, Wang Yafu's thoughtful posture and particularly her vacant eyes made her look like a groundhog that had just emerged from its burrow.
"Big sister asked me about the secret... Actually, it's nothing. As a qualified little sister, it's necessary to recognize my brother at a glance!"
"In other words: because of the firm sibling affection, little sister suddenly gained the power to see everything?"
After understanding the meaning on his own, Dracula couldn't help but hold his chest tight the next moment, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: being strengthened by family ties... the human race, it's truly terrifying!
While Dracula's heart continued to experience intense emotions, at the same time, Wang Yafu was entangled in her own incomprehensible doubts.
Wang Yafu couldn't understand: her brother never had any romantic relationships at school; how could he be surrounded by three beautiful sisters after coming to a different world? It shouldn't be like this.
Wang Yafu's major reason for leaving her home and coming to an unfamiliar world was to save her brother from the dire situation he was in, with a 200% weighting on that.
In Wang Yafu's imagination: her brother, caught by evil forces, suffered humiliating abuse day and night; in the meantime, there were constantly minions of dark forces trying to coerce him into surrendering his soul; or perhaps, the dark minions were preparing to sacrifice him to an ancient demon;
In recent times, those guys were gradually preparing for the construction of an altar, just waiting to be finished to offer her brother to the demon. That should be the script!
Wang Yafu never doubted: she was playing an undisputed hero role; her weak, pitiful, and helpless brother urgently needed his capable sister to save him; and after a successful rescue, her brother would surely realize that his sister was the most important person by his side, and he would rely on her even more...
"But does my brother really need me to rescue him now?"
As Wang Yafu raised this question to herself, Dracula, who was close by, began to carefully listen to the voices coming from the scene; those were the shouting of the girls arguing in the painting:
"With our beloved present today, let's make the final decision on the 'main wife'."
"Is there still a need for a decision on this matter? My master and I are legally married, we are the genuine couple, there's no need for the demon lord who intruded on the wedding halfway to dictate terms."
"I think it is necessary. Why not decided the 'main wife' of Lord Xiaole through voting? Okay, I vote for Lady Mother!"
"......"
Even though for quite a long time, Dracula couldn't say a word, he didn't forget to inquire:
"Younger sister, what's your brother's name again?"
"My brother's name is 'Wang Xiaole', why does big sister ask?"
For certain reasons, in front of Wang Yafu, Dracula couldn't say certain things, even when asked, could only remain silent.
However, though Dracula was reserved in his responses, his heart was clear as a mirror, thoroughly considering many things.
From the previous dispute, Dracula had ample reason to believe:
Wang Yafu's brother, given the current situation, indeed needed to be saved;
just that the kind of saving he needed was not on the level of life or physical body, but in the realm of emotions needing redemption.
"Is 'the backyard is on fire' such a situation? What a heavily sinful brother!"
Dracula's self-talk was fully heard by the sharp-eared Wang Yafu.
"Fire? Whose backyard is on fire, big sister's or that Duke's?"
Considering Wang Yafu's tender age of just ten, she couldn't comprehend the four words "the backyard is on fire," which was quite normal.
Looking at this harmless young girl, Dracula really didn't know how to comfort her and could only pat her little head later on.
"Young sister, you must be strong!"
Wang Yafu understood the meaning of the word "strong," as her teacher had taught it in class before.
Of course, it would take a few more years for Wang Yafu to understand that the two words "strong" had evolved into a special meaning in recent years...
After about five minutes, the "magic mirror" seemed like a phone with only one percent battery left, the screen suddenly dimmed, and the "screen (mirror)" blinked a few times.
Then with a "pop,” the "magic mirror" stopped working;
Whether it was due to a time limit or an issue with the distance relationship, in short, there were no subsequent images displayed.
"Big sister, where is this image from? Is there a way to know the exact address?"
In fact, there was no need for Wang Yafu to ask specifically, as Dracula would instantly investigate the origin of the image to satisfy his curiosity.
Dracula placed his unwashed hand on the mirror, infused a bit of magic into it, using the unique means of the vampire, to search for the brother's location.
After meticulous work for a while, Dracula eventually lifted his hand at a certain moment, wide-eyed, muttering to himself:
"Dibiles? So far away!"
Speaking of geographical location:
The vampire territory is located on the Western Continent, and Dibiles is also a true Western Continent country.
Even though they are both located to the west of the mainland, the range of the vampire's territory is still a considerable distance from the territory of Dibiles. Let's put it this way: one is situated to the southwest, the other to the northwest, a turn to the left out the door seems to be sufficient to arrive at both, but perhaps no one would believe it.
Dracula is somewhat of a "homebody," never having ventured far from home. His impression of the human kingdom of "Dibiles" is limited to what he has read in books and imagined in his mind.
For places one has never actually been to, there is always a sense of regret felt by those who have never been there, whether human or vampire.
Nevertheless, no matter how much regret he may feel, Dracula has mentally prepared himself not to set foot in that country for his entire lifetime.
Dracula's faith is unwavering, but Wang Yafu later exclaimed loudly:
"I'm going to Dibiles to find my brother!"
This declaration, made completely seriously, expresses all of Wang Yafu's current thoughts and intentions, what she is about to embark on.
