Therefore, he saw the benefit of his sisters engaging with a broader network of individuals, providing them with opportunities for personal growth within a supportive community.

"We will accept the offer," Jori readily said.

It seemed as if they had been eagerly anticipating the invitation, but Rain didn't allow that to trouble him. He was confident in his culinary skills, after all.

Following the meal, at least Jori and Reca lent Rain a hand with the post-dinner cleaning. In contrast, the others continued to engage with his sisters, forging connections and building rapport.

"Dana is ten years old, right?" Jori asked. "So, she is going to enter the academy? I suppose you have noble blood, but they truly look like noble kids."

"I guess you don't see many jacked nobles nowadays," Rain said.

"They can use magic already; what is the point of them going there?" Reca asked.

"Interacting with other kids of their age will be good for them," Rain replied. "We were part of a militaristic family once, but we don't have to be anymore, so they can do whatever they want, and going to the academy will help them with that."

"Being able to use magic at their age… You must be quite the good teacher," Rose said.

"I could be better, but I am not good at understanding kids," Rain said.

Jori and Reca exchanged frowns, a subtle acknowledgment that it was difficult to perceive Rain as a child, even though he was of that age.

As the conversation continued, they gradually came to realize that Rain was quite peculiar. His sisters, despite being his contemporaries, appeared much younger.

Initially, they assumed Rain was being humble in his abilities as a teacher. Still, they soon grasped that his assessment was genuine. After all, the levels of his path spoke for themselves, leaving no room for doubt about his expertise.

Once they finished the cleanup, they found the girls in the garden, still hugging Rain's sisters. Rain could understand Liss doing that, but Asche and Terra were weird since they looked after the kids in the orphanage. In any case, Dana, Kei, and Gila didn't look that bothered anymore.

"We will come again," Jori said when the group left the house.

Rain couldn't shake the peculiar feeling that their recent conversation had conspicuously omitted any mention of their next job. Despite their talk of taking a week off, he couldn't help but sense something suspicious lingering in the air.

Driven by curiosity, Rain couldn't avoid wondering if Jori and the others had also received an assignment from Branden. It had been weeks since he had been entrusted with any significant missions, and while the break was a welcomed relief, it also raised doubts.

Despite these lingering uncertainties, Rain chose not to dwell on them too heavily. However, his musings were abruptly interrupted the following day when a servant from Branden's household arrived. The servant presented Dana with a meticulously tailored uniform that belonged to a female student attending a magic academy.

The female uniform for the magic academy was a finely crafted attire. It consisted of a knee-length pleated skirt in a rich navy blue adorned with intricate silver embroidery along the hem. Completing the upper portion of the outfit was a navy blazer featuring lapels trimmed with silver, which added a touch of sophistication.

Beneath the blazer, a crisp white blouse was meticulously tucked into the skirt, creating a striking visual contrast. The blouse boasted a high collar and was fastened with silver buttons, lending an aura of formality. A slim, well-knotted silver tie adorned the neckline, contributing an element of grace.

Designed with both style and practicality in mind, the ensemble was complemented by comfortable, low-heeled navy blue shoes. It was a uniform that seamlessly melded tradition with contemporary elegance, suitable attire for any student of a prestigious magic academy.

"You are going to start going to the academy the day after tomorrow; what did Mom and Dad tell you?" Branden asked while Dana was dancing around after she wore her uniform.

"Some kids might try to pick on me because I am not from an unknown family, but I shouldn't fight them," Dana said.

"That is right, fighting is no good," Rain said and then showed a smile. "That is why it is fine to mess with them without fighting. Drench the soles of their boots with water magic and make them slip. That should be enough. If they insist on bothering you, I will teach you some other tricks."

"Okay," Dana said while smiling as well since she was a bit mischievous.

While Rain couldn't directly intervene if his younger sisters faced bullying, he found solace in knowing he was doing the minimum by teaching them how to defend themselves.

As he mulled over this, Rain's thoughts shifted to the future and the potential challenge of dealing with prospective boyfriends. He pondered how he could employ similar tactics to deter unwelcome suitors. Eventually, he concluded that he might have to take matters into his own hands. He firmly believed that only someone as strong as himself would be deserving of dating his adorable younger sisters.

That was the duty of the older brother, to protect the younger siblings from all kinds of insects.
