Mikaboshi called me to his house today, to celebrate Ai-chan's celebration.
So I went.
As soon as I entered his house, his eyes told me that it is time.
"I am ready."
"Hn."
He touched her forehead, and the slave seal disappeared. For the first time in her life, she felt free from the shackles of the clan. The clan which tortured her father for not saving a useless main family member. The clan which tortured her father into committing suicide, and called him a coward!
He snapped his fingers, and our fake bodies appeared on the table, which had numerous food items. Ai-chan came and hugged her tightly.
"Thanks for coming with us!"
"I should thank you to allow me to come. And removing my slave seal. I seriously can't thank you enough."
"Hehe~ It's no problem! Hold nii-san's hand! We will be going to our new home!"
She held Mikaboshi's hand, but for some weird reason, she felt her heartbeat getting faster.
What's happening!?
Hmm, must be due to the fact that she is going to desert the village. Yeah! That's it!
Ai held Mikaboshi's other hand, and they teleported.
The new scenery surprised me. A palace!? Made of gold!?
And why were people bowing to them!?
"Hikari-chan. Nii-san is a noble in the court of a Daimyo."
"Really?"
"Yeah! Come with me! I will show you around my lab."
And Hikari followed Ai after looking back at Mikaboshi for sometime, before she was surprised that he waved at her.
THE Mikaboshi waves at her!?
And why was Ai grinning?
Suddenly, Hikari felt like she had walked into the sibling's trap.
She didn't care though. Afterall, her slave seal was gone!
