The next day, Raiden dreaded meeting Morgana again. Even he knew the excuse he made to run away last night was pathetic. But when he greeted her in the morning, she acted like nothing had happened, acting nonchalant.

"Morning, what’s for breakfast today??" Seeing her greet him so nonchalantly, Raiden started to feel awkward.

"Hey, listen... About last night..."

"Hmm? Did something happen last night?? I don’t remember anything, do you??" Morgana fixed a stare on Raiden, making him unable to meet her eyes in guilt.

"That’s what I thought. Now breakfast. Hurry up." Morgana had thought it through. She was done taking the initiative. Now it was up to him to do something about it.

And if he didn’t do anything?? Then she guessed it wasn’t meant to be. She couldn’t have been more obvious.

Raiden didn’t say anything and just went to the kitchen to make breakfast. After that, both of them spent the entire morning without speaking to each other, eating their breakfast in awkward silence.

"Morning, brother!! Morning, sister-in-law!!" Sylvia bounced in at the precise moment, radiating cheerfulness.

As soon as she entered the room, she noticed the atmosphere was a bit wrong.

"...Did something happen??" She asked with a hesitant expression.

"Ask your brother that~ Anyways, I am done eating. I will be outside feeding the sheep. See ya."

Morgana finished her breakfast with impeccable manners before standing up and leaving the room to both siblings, who looked at each other.

"Hey, smelly brother, did something bad happen?? You didn’t anger her, did you?? I am telling you, Raiden, better latch onto her thigh. Otherwise, with your looks and personality, tch tch..." Sylvia clicked her tongue as she looked at him with scorn.

"Stop interfering in adult affairs, brat, and eat breakfast quietly!! What do you mean, latch onto her thigh?? Do you think I can’t find any other girl, huh??" Raiden snapped.

"Of course you can’t. I mean, you look passable, but that personality of yours... only a blind girl like Morgana will like it. I still think she has lost her mind or something. Or maybe you fed her some love potion. Better make her yours before she comes to her senses. Otherwise, you’ll regret it."

Raiden was left speechless, hearing his little sister’s analysis. It would be a lie to say that he didn’t regret his actions from last night a little, but he was sure there was no room for romance in his life right now. He couldn’t hold her back, not when there were so many mysterious circumstances surrounding him, his sister and his parents’ deaths. And this was not counting the people who wanted to kill him.

"Anyways, eat your breakfast quietly!! I will need to go check on others and do some work. Don’t disturb me." Raiden waved his hands before walking out. It was almost time.

As soon as he got out, he made a beeline for the chaos trio, who didn’t come home last night and slept in the wild with other Terra Beasts on the farm. They just dropped in the morning to mooch off food, before running away immediately.

It took him half an hour of exploring the jungle before he found them facing off against something.

"Sha Sha!!" Go, big brother!! You are the strongest!!

✧(≧▽≦)✧

Boom!!

Woolie clashed against his opponent, skidding back a great distance after it. He had been fighting against it all morning.

"Moo!!" The opponent, a golden bull, roared before the earth itself started trembling.

Crack. Crack.

In front of Raiden’s wide eyes, massive chunks of earth, each larger than 10 meters, began floating around the bull before accelerating towards Woolie.

"Woolie!!" Take me seriously, you big cow!!

Woolie replied with arrogance in his voice as he stomped hard with both his hooves.

A second later, a storm of violet coloured lightning erupted from his feet, obliterating every boulder before they could reached him.

Raiden: (⁠☉⁠｡⁠☉⁠)⁠!

What had happened to his Woolie? When did he get so strong?!

Woolie glanced at Raiden and his two little sisters in the audience, thinking it was time to wrap it all up.

"Woolie!!" Emperor Woolie will finish it with one move!!

"Mooo!!!!"

The golden bull felt angry for being so underestimated. Since when did a Golden Tier Terra Beast like him have to endure the scorn of someone in a Silver Tier?!

"Woolie!!"

CRACK-BANG!!

Woolie’s whole body started radiating with power as violent thunder erupted from his body, destroying everything around him in a five-meter radius.

He braced his hooves and burst into motion towards the golden bull.

Boom!!

A gigantic 20-meter earth dragon burst out of the ground, directly advancing towards Woolie.

Seeing this, Woolie moved even faster, directly colliding with the dragon.

Bang!!

The Earth dragon didn’t stand a chance against him at all, crumbling directly.

Woolie advanced unimpeded, directly striking against the opponent, throwing him so far backwards that his head disappeared over the horizon.

Seeing the massive Golden Terra Beast turn into a small dot, Raiden didn’t know what to say.

"Sha Sha!!" Big Brother is the strongest~!

"Chirrp~!" Cinder looked at Woolie with a complicated expression.

Just yesterday, she had been competing with him on an equal stage, but today, he had already left her far behind in the dust.

"Alright, come on, guys, it’s time to go back now. We have something important to do." Raiden called out as he picked up Cinder in his arms, walking back to the farm.

Neva, seeing this, hopped directly on his head, making her home in his hair.

"Shaaaa~" (⁠◕⁠ω⁠◕⁠✿⁠)

"Woolie?" Is it already time to eat, human??

"Eat, eat, eat!! Is eating food all you know?! Just follow me, quietly!!" Raiden snapped.

He had much more important things to do.
