Meira had a thin smile on her face, and when Laziel turned around, her expression flipped so fast. She was frowning as if troubled. "Have you found who it might be, Azi?" Meira asked in a concerned tone. "The person might harm Nyra again, and... and I am also scared..." She hugged Laziel’s arm. Laziel’s face remained troubled. He still hadn’t recovered from the realization. Was it really Zerra? But... Zerra had changed over the past few months. She was more mature. As much as he hated to admit it, she was even more thoughtful than him sometimes. If it was really her... were all her actions until now an act? The sight of Zerra’s soft and smug appearance popped into his mind. His heart became more restless this time. He didn’t even want to believe that his guesses were correct. "Azi, have you thought of the culprit?" Meira shook his arm, her voice held a hint of urgency. However, Laziel didn’t notice it. "I... don’t know." Laziel swallowed, a little confused. "If you find the culprit, please catch the person. I am really scared they might hurt me..." Meira said tremblingly. "Alright." Laziel exhaled. He rubbed Meira’s shoulder in reassurance. "Continue your meal. I am going to find my sister." Once Laziel was out of the room, no one noticed the smirk on Meira’s face. She even let out a small snicker in mockery. She thought it was better to take down both sisters at once since the younger one had also begun to hinder her plan. Laziel went to find Zerra. When he knocked on her door, she hadn’t answered, so he thought she was sleeping. He shifted his focus to Nyra, whose door was still open at this time. "Munchkin, what are you doing here this late?" He sucked in a deep breath, a little anxious. It was unknown where the source of his anxiety was. Then, he saw it. Zerra was clutching Nyra’s arm, which was now bleeding. He didn’t know what came over him, but he pulled Zerra a little roughly, making her stand up. Zerra took a deep breath. A thin layer of tears gathered in her eyes from the pain. After she stood up, she pulled her hands out of his grasp roughly. Laziel finally came to his senses. Noticing the look of hurt in Zerra’s eyes, his heart was almost stopped breathing. "Zee, I didn’t mean to–" "Just say it quickly." She snapped at him. "Whatever she told you, say it." She hadn’t expected that Laziel would do such a thing to her. What a waste of her can of beef and snacks she had given to him! They were used to feeding the dog! "Zee..." his words were stuck in his throat. Nyra squinted her eyes at him. "Why did you suddenly pull your younger sister so roughly? She was treating me." Laziel paled a little. "I-I just..." He let out a breath and gritted his teeth. "Zee, do you know if there might be a resident from here who had locked elder sister?" "I don’t know any. Why? Looking for a thin girl with a black jacket like me?" Zerra rubbed her hands, a little sore from Laziel’s sudden pull. She wasn’t hurt much, but the shock was just too overwhelming for her to overcome. The conversation between Laziel and Meira from earlier too, she had heard of it. Laziel pursed his lips when he heard that, a little dazed. "So, you–" Before he could continue, Nyra hit his head. "It wasn’t her. I already said who the culprit was, and you still didn’t believe me." She spoke in a ruthless tone. "Or have you come here to decide now that you prefer her compared to your sisters?" Now, with the addition of Nyra, there was also Zerra. Laziel’s face grew a little pale, not expecting his impulsive action to have such consequences. "Older brother." Zerra tilted her head. "I know you want to say I did it. I locked our elder sister in that house." She said the words more bluntly. "I also have proof that it wasn’t me. I was with a few other ability users, trying to find more survivors." She paused. "Do you want me to call them?" It was past the middle of the night when Zerra’s teammates were woken up from their beautiful sleep. "Miss Zerra? What do you need?" They had unhappiness all over their faces, full of sleepiness. Zerra didn’t care. She was unhappy, so they better also be unhappy, she thought pettily. Well, that was for leaving her in the middle of the zombies and calling her out when she was enjoying the drama earlier! Without waiting for them to respond, she dragged the sleepy men to meet Laziel, who still hadn’t recovered from his chaotic emotions. He really didn’t know how he should feel now. "There, you can interrogate them." The men, who were yawning sleepily, instantly became wide awake. "Miss Zerra, what do you mean by interrogating? W-we didn’t do anything!" One man hastily explained. "I just want to ask a few questions." Laziel opened his mouth, drawing their attention away from Zerra. "Was my sister with you when the incident about the locked house happened?" A realization dawned on the men’s faces. "So, you are looking for the culprit?" One man clicked his tongue. "Don’t tell me you suspected your own sister?" Laziel’s face suddenly burned red, a little ashamed. "I-I just want to confirm it..." The men snorted. They glanced at Zerra teasingly, wanting to see her panicked expression because her own brother was accusing her. However, they were disappointed. Zerra had an impassive look; she was crossing her hands on her chest. Her usually soft appearance was replaced by a little fierceness. They even had the illusion that she might eat them. They swallowed and acted more honestly. "She was with us the entire time, fighting zombies. When that girl, Meira something, came to find us, she was still with us and hadn’t gone anywhere. You can even ask Mr. Valez to confirm it." Laziel turned to Zerra, realizing that his accusation must have hurt her this time. He called out weakly, "Zee, I am sorry." Zerra ignored him and left the room, followed by the two men, who nearly tripped on their way out. It didn’t take them long to realize that this soft-looking girl was actually this vengeful! She nearly tripped them with a carpet. The men weren’t annoyed for long. They even had the time to gloat over Laziel’s predicament. With such a pair of terrifying sisters, his future was... Meira was waiting excitedly for the result of her scheme. Would the pair of sister and brother’s relationship worsen after Laziel accused Zerra? After she finished her meal, she couldn’t sit still anymore. She stood up and went to find Laziel. On her way through the dimly lit hallway, she stumbled upon Zerra and Arnold’s men. Her heart shook slightly, but she forced herself to be calm. She nodded to them in greeting. However, they were ignoring her! ᴛhis chapter is ᴜpdated by novel~fire~net Annoyed, she took large steps and went to find Laziel. The man had a dazed look on his face, and his hand clenched. "Azi..." she called out softly. "Are you alright?" Laziel’s eyes shot to her, intense and seemed to be searching for something. "You have to give me a name. Who is the suspect in your mind?"
