My two-dimensional resident

"This is the power of money!"

Before Xiao Ke could speak, Lin Tian said quietly. Although he felt a little heartache that the money he had earned over the past few days was all spent in one go, Lin Tian did not regret it.

Money is just an external thing; anything that can be solved with money isn't a problem!

If the administrative hall hadn't been built as soon as possible, allowing Ace and Illya to return to their original world, Lin Tian wouldn't have been able to earn so much money in just three days.

Animal Crossing is a casual game, and even though the island in the game is somewhat different from the game, the core purpose remains the same: to let him live a happy and carefree life.

But for his partner's dream, he chose to work hard to earn money and reach milestones!

"Erza, this isn't magic, it's the rules. The rules of this adorable Rabbit Island!"

As the adorable head steward of Rabbit Island, Little K is extremely dedicated. No matter what questions the residents ask him, he will answer them truthfully.

"The rules? I don't understand..."

Erza poked her lower lip with her index finger, looking at Lin Tian with a puzzled expression. She trusted her brother to tell her the answer.

"Rules are the laws governing how things work. Something more mysterious and profound than magic. To give a simple example, the rising and setting of the sun is one of the most common rules in the world."

Seeing Erza's strong thirst for knowledge, Lin Tian became even more satisfied with his younger sister, and explained things to her in a way that Erza could understand.

"Oh, I see! I understand! Thank you, brother, thank you, Xiao Ke!"

During her time on the island, under Kikyo's tutelage, Erza has become increasingly well-mannered and refined, developing into a proper young lady.

Is the Fairy Queen transforming into a Fairy Goddess? Sounds good!

"Erza, your sister Ilya will be returning to her world in a week. During this week, be sure to ask her as many questions as possible about magic."

Although your worlds and magic differ, I believe that under Ilya's tutelage, you have grasped the true essence of magic, and that when you return, you will surely become a powerful mage.

Looking at the little "witch" Erza, Lin Tian found her even more adorable and couldn't help but stroke her crimson hair.

"Waaaah... Brother, are you abandoning me? You promised to always protect me? You lied!"

Lin Tian's words caused young Erza to misunderstand. A wave of sadness instantly rose from the depths of her heart, and tears the size of mung beans began to flow continuously from her eyes, dripping onto the plate in front of her.

"Wow!"

Recalling Lin Tian's previous promise to her, Erza felt betrayed once again and burst into tears. Before Lin Tian could explain, she stood up and fled the dining table, running into the woods.

"???"

Lin Tian didn't expect Erza to react so strongly, and for a moment he was stunned and sat there blankly.

The Fifty-Eighth Palm is a serious yet joyful family drama.

Kikyo, Ace, and Hercules, who were having lunch together, didn't pay much attention to Lin Tian and Erza's conversation. When they saw Erza crying and running away, the two of them were also full of question marks on their faces.

"Lin Tian, ​​why aren't you going after Erza?! She treats you like her own brother!"

The perceptive Kikyo was the first to react, and immediately urged Lin Tian to go and explain things to Erza. For the first time, the usually gentle and kind Kikyo spoke to Lin Tian in a stern and urgent tone.

"Damn it! I never thought my words could hurt Erza!"

Lin Tian was jolted awake by Kikyo's loud urging and realized where he had gone wrong. He quickly stood up and chased after Erza in the direction she had gone.

"Erza was betrayed by her comrades only four days ago. Although Erza has become more cheerful in the past few days, she cannot forget what happened at the Tower of Paradise so quickly."

The wounds inflicted on her heart cannot be healed in just three days simply because we are kind to her. She is happy to spend time with us every day because we are genuinely kind to her.

With her keen perception, she realized this and cherished this feeling deeply. That's why she seemed to have forgotten what happened at the Tower of Paradise.

She's like a happy little princess every day, she just doesn't want us to worry about her...

Damn it! How could I be so stupid?! I really don't know how to deal with kids; I can easily annoy them!

Taking out his phone, Lin Tian looked at Erza's little red dot on the map, still running through the woods. He could already imagine Erza crying even more bitterly right now.

He cursed himself for not caring enough about Erza's inner world, for ignoring her wounded heart, and for saying such things.

It's no wonder Erza misunderstood!

"Erza! Brother was wrong! Brother won't break his promise to you..."

Desperate to see Erza, Lin Tian quickened his pace! However, the island's will restricted the strength of everyone on the island, so no matter how hard he tried, his speed remained unchanged.

This time, Lin Tian desperately wanted the island's will to restrict everyone's strength; it was infuriating!

......

"Ugh... Why, why would my brother say such a thing? He's been so good to me! Why do he want me to go back? Why?"

Erza didn't know how long she had been running, but she felt a little tired. Looking around, she realized that this was the place where she and her brother had planted the money tree that morning.

The money tree had already sprouted seedlings, and the surrounding area was empty. The shrubs that had previously blocked the money tree had all been removed by Lin Tian, ​​who feared they would affect its growth.

Erza cried as she looked at the money tree sapling in front of her. Heartbroken and exhausted, she found a large tree not far away and sat down under it, leaning against the trunk.

She buried her head and sobbed...

At this moment, her mind was filled with the scene of her first meeting with Lin Tian: a sunny and handsome older brother who exuded friendliness, and that warm apple.

"Brother... mmm... why? Why is he doing this to me? We had already made a promise, why does he want me to leave so soon?"

Ugh... Why did you lie to me? Why did you kick me out? Am I really that hateful to him? Ugh...

So I'm still that kind of person who's disliked?

Disliked by his mother, he was abandoned in Aunt Grina's pigsty...

Disliked by his companions, and burdened with the crime of betrayal, he was exiled from the Tower of Paradise...

It's all my fault, everything is my fault. My very existence in this world is a mistake...

But...

I'm really used to my older brother!

I love Kikyo, who always sings lullabies to lull me to sleep, and I love Ace, who makes funny faces to make me laugh from time to time!

I don't want to leave them!

But my brother... doesn't want me anymore!

"I'm ultimately a useless person who drags others down, despised by everyone..."

Erza was ultimately a kind girl. Even after being abandoned by her mother and betrayed by her companions, she didn't harbor any resentment towards them. She bore it all alone...

"I really love you all!"

"I've already considered you all my family, brother... please don't send me away..."

Erza, head bowed and weeping, didn't notice that the eyepatch covering her injured eye was soaked with her tears. A dead eye shouldn't shed tears anymore, but for some reason, the tear glands around the dead eye were secreting them.

"Brother... these three days with you have been the happiest three days of my life. Since you want me to go back, I will return to my own world in a week, just like Brother Ace and Sister Illya..."

Erza didn't hate Lin Tian. She took all the blame upon herself, believing that it must have been her fault that made Lin Tian want her to leave.

"But...I really...like you, and I want to be your...little sister..."

Every time Erza recalled the moments she spent with Lin Tian, ​​her heart grew more tormented. That feeling of happiness had now become a sharp blade piercing her heart.

"elder brother..."

suddenly!

Just as Erza curled up and murmured softly again, a pair of large, strong hands pulled her into an embrace. Feeling that familiar warmth, Erza shakily raised her head, her small, swollen eyes from crying wide open, staring incredulously at the person who had entered.

"Silly girl, how could your brother abandon you? We made a promise before. You're my sister, and that will never change!"

Gently patting Erza's back, Lin Tian used his other hand to softly wipe away the tears on her face. He looked at Erza and saw her eyes return to the despair and desolation she had shown when they first met.

Lin Tian's heart skipped a beat. He gently patted her back and pulled Erza into a tight embrace.

As an only child, Lin Tian had never experienced sibling relationships before, and this was the first time he had shown such familial affection.

Lin Tian, ​​who lives in the 21st century, spends his days either working or staying at home playing games and watching anime; his mental world has been filled with the internet.

But after he arrived on the island and became its owner, his loneliness became more apparent. It was the arrival of Kikyo and the others that made him realize he wasn't alone and that he had companions.

Erza's arrival awakened Lin Tian's longing for family. It made him realize how wonderful it was to have a younger sister...

"But brother, didn't you tell me to leave here?"

Erza rested her head on Lin Tian's left chest, listening to his pounding heartbeat and feeling the warmth emanating from him.

She didn't know what to do.

Sadness, grief, anger, love... all sorts of emotions swirled in her heart, and the pent-up resentment exploded in an instant.

She opened her mouth wide and bit Lin Tian's shoulder, venting her dissatisfaction.

Chapter 59 So, fellow residents, who among you would like to be my brother-in-law?

"I didn't... Ouch!"

Lin Tian was about to speak when the pain in his shoulder made him gasp. He instinctively wanted to push Erza away, but ultimately he gave up.

Erza needed to vent her pent-up emotions, and he felt it was worth it even if it meant letting her take a bite out of him.

If Erza hadn't come here and hadn't met Lin Tian and the others, she would still have gone to the Fairy Tail guild, just like in the original Fairy Tail timeline, and treated the guild members as her own family.

To protect her family, she hid her most vulnerable side deep inside and never shared these feelings with anyone.

She always presented herself as a strong, independent woman, managing the guild and protecting its members. Afterwards, she was hailed as the "Fairy Queen"!

No matter how strong she is, she is still a girl who has been "hurt" since childhood! She also needs someone to love and care for her.

"Erza...brother, I never thought of abandoning you. What I said at the dinner table just now wasn't meant to drive you away. I was just thinking that you should still have some unfulfilled wishes in your world."

"Once you become stronger here, you might be able to go back and fulfill your wish. That's why I said those things."

A few minutes later, Lin Tian felt the pain in his shoulder gradually subside. He knew that Erza's anger had subsided considerably. So he whispered something in her ear.

"Really?"

Erza stopped nestled against Lin Tian's chest and straightened up to look into his eyes. Her swollen eyes revealed her grievance and confusion.

"Really. If I didn't want you, I wouldn't have made you my sister in the first place. How could I have let you join this island?"

Erza, however, didn't believe her brother, because of a single sentence he said, she thought he didn't want her.
