The store's pretty busy today, some traders and travelers are coming quite alot today, they wanted to visit the rumored bread store in the countryside.

Yuika is also helping in the store, she was visiting the store to meet Erwin again until the store become quite busy, she helps Ilya and Erwin to pack up breads and cookies for customers.

"Pretty busy today eh?"

The door bell's ringing and a middle aged man showed up in the store, he brought a sack of flours and some stuff in his box.

"Yeah, i can't believe it either Alto-san, people keep coming, Yuikchan and Erwin even helped out the store though" ( San is a honorific to address people who is older / to respect them)

The man just walked to the kitchen and pit down the flour he brought and the box that maybe contain some stuff like sugars and egg and stuff to use to make the breads.

"Oh boy, you help out your big sister eh, as always you sure are a good kid don't you"

Alto-san praises Erwin and pat his head, Erwin seems to enjoy it.

Alto-san is a trader and also a supplier for Ilya's store, he helped the store for so long, even before when Ilya's mother still around.

"How old are you already Erwin?"

Alto-san is so friendly with everyone in this little city, he always stopped by when he has to go to the other kingdoms.

"Six"

Erwin answers excitedly with a big smile in his face.

"Ah Alto-san, Erwin says he wanted to learn magic some days ago, he really excited about it, so i think i will close the store early today since there was so many customers today"

Ilya took off her ap.r.o.n and pick up a broom to start clean up the store a bit.

"Ohh.. Erwin boy, you want to learn magic eh, show me what you got boy"

Alto-san seems to be excited when he hear about Erwin wanted to learn about magic, he knew not all people can use magic, they have to be accepted by the mana itself, it requires someone to have a strong soul power.

"Maybe i have some books Erwin can use to learn about it more, he already learn how to read right?"

"I teach him before a bit, he keep bugging me to teach him though he learn so fast"

Ilya just sigh and smile, she put the broom in the corner of the room and walk back to the storefront.

The first time Ilya teach Erwin how to read was when he's almost 4 years old, Ilya teach Erwin how to read and she surprised by his ability, he learned it so fast.

One day Erwin says he wanted to try to learn how to write on his own, he showed it to Ilya and Ilya can't do anything but surprised at first, she can't believe 4 years old kid can really learn how to write on his first try.

"He really surprised me though.. I can't believe my eyes at first, i didn't even blink because of it"

Ilya and Alto-san just laugh together inside the store because of Ilya's story and they looked at Erwin after that.

Erwin was drawing with Yuika all this time when both Ilya and Alto-san busy with Ilya's story, Yuika seems to just look at Erwin, her face is a bit red, she seems to enjoy watching Erwin drawing, she just smile all time watching everything Erwin does.

"Well that kid is quite something though, i have an acquaintance who give me some books, i think a book or two about magic should be there, i'll look for it in my carriage"

Alto-san went out the store to find the book he mentioned, Ilya approach the kids to see what they're doing.

Erwin's showing his drawing when he notices his sister's coming towards them.

"Big sis, look...look.."

Erwin's so excited he shows his sister the drawing.

"Woahh.. what is this? isn't this too good? she's so beautiful"

The drawing Erwin shows to his sister was Yuika, he drew her.

A beautiful fave with yellow hair, she can feel the drawing is alive even though the drawing isn't even colored.

Yuika in the back just blushed a little, it seems that she's embarra.s.sed because Ilya says that the drawing was beautiful.

Erwin still able to make such happy face, he didn't sven notice Yuika feels so embarra.s.sed when he drew her.

-Why is my little brother so dense

Ilya feel so stupid thinking about her little brother.
