Chapter 2

As for my mom and the very situation that kicked my motivation and now I want to urgently study spiritual power... Although, if you look at it that way, it was because of this event that I made progress in the study of my supernatural power

It turns out that besides me, my mother has another child. And it would be okay if it were an ordinary adult child, but no! It was a beast in the guise of a sweet girl who knows no fatigue or sleep! The only difference between her and me is that she can walk and talk, talk a lot. Other than that, she's a baby with a nuclear reactor in one place!

If children's energy could be converted into electricity, a couple of cities wouldn't need power plants. And then it will be energy from my sister alone... In general, it is clear what kind of creature it is.

Yes, as you can imagine, I have an "older" sister, and... She is a very energetic and cheerful person. I would even say too cheerful.

This cute ball of energy was so happy to see me that she chatted with me nonstop until I fell asleep, and for the first time I was glad that my stamina was so small. This egoza stretched my soft and tender cheeks so much and threw my mortal body into the air... That I wanted to grow up and do the same with her.

I remember that terribly happy day as if it were yesterday... Oh, it really was yesterday.

…

There was no sign of trouble, the birds were singing, the sun was shining and I was lying peacefully with my eyes closed next to my mother and dreaming, where with the usual wave of my hand I was destroying mountains and draining the seas, as... The door to our room swung open abruptly, and a white thing flew in with incredible speed. Naturally, from such a sharp loud sound, I opened my eyes, threw off sleep and saw something moving towards me at an incredible speed.

My first thought was that I had been attacked by some wild animal, but when I looked closer, I realized that I was mistaken. She was a sweet little girl, about six years old, with snow-white hair and scarlet eyes, like her mother's.

Today I was not lying on my mom as usual, but on the bed, but next to my mom. She was now reading a book, eating some fruit at the same time. This unexpected visit did not embarrass her in the slightest, she sighed imperceptibly, although I noticed it, and put the half-eaten fruit with the book on the bedside table, and then seemed to prepare herself for something...

Mom seems to be familiar with this creature. I turn my gaze to this object, and...

Our eyes met. Mine, incomprehensible and indignant, because someone dared to interrupt my and my mother's idyll and this girl, whose eyes began to burn with a fierce fire of interest, curiosity and mischief.

My sixth sense howled about the dangers to come. And with each passing second, it screams harder and harder...

In a few moments, she crossed the distance between us and sat on top of my mother.

During this time, I had more or less begun to understand the speech here. And it's just amazing! No, it's just mind-blowing! In short, it's just amazing!

In my previous life, I didn't know languages at all, well, no way. In this one, I just lay there and listened to my mother's voice, and over time, her words began to take on meaning. I just started to grasp the meaning behind them.

Either I'm smarter, which is unlikely, or my new brain works better than the old one and can distinguish all the slightest changes in my voice and read the meaning behind them subconsciously.

The girl who burst into my room without knocking now approached my mother, and from an overabundance of energy began to jump on the spot and ramble very quickly.

"Mom!" Mummy! Good morning! Are you awake yet?! It's been a month, so—" She quickly kissed my mother's cheek and began to tug at her hand, intending to ask for something. Wait, wait a minute... Mummy?!

"Can I support my brother in my arms?!" Mmm? Folding her thin snow-white eyebrows into a house and twisting a puppy's, this girl began to encroach on my personal space.

Those snow-white hair and scarlet eyes create such an incredible effect along with this puppy that I wouldn't hold back and agree to anything...

Shaking my head, I threw off the genjutsu... Erm, extraneous thoughts. Her cuteness is dangerous. Fight, Tai Lung, fight!

"May I?" Mummy! Mummy! Can? Can? Can?! Please! She tugged at my mother's arm even more violently. Her clothes almost slipped from these movements, giving me a view of the beautiful hills... I think if it wasn't for her energy, we would have gotten along great.

Closing my eyes, I began to digest the information. Sister... I have a sister!

Well, in fact, she is my older sister, but I cannot perceive her as an adult and older than me, because I am actually almost 18 years old spiritually, so let her be a younger sister.

But that's not what's important... I'm almost a month old, and I'm going to find out about another relative almost a month later?!

What the heck?

When I opened my eyes again, I saw that the tornado was still rocking my mom back and forth. There's so much power and energy in this little body... I think I'm beginning to wonder why she wasn't allowed to get to know me for a month.

"Okay, Shirou, calm down!" "Mother remembered that she was not a doll, but quite a living person, but my sister did not disgrace the honor of the other children and did not listen to her, continuing to pull her sleeve and ask like a parrot to support me in her arms. It's cute that she wants to hold me in her arms so much, but it's a little scary that she's so determined...

"I said, calm down!" For a moment, a dark green energy erupted from my mother's body, giving my mother a sinister look. Her ears sharpened, her tail straightened, and her eyes lit up for a moment. And since her eyes were scarlet, it looked very cool, but also super scary!

If I hadn't gone to the bathroom at night, I'd be doing bad things right now in front of my little sister...

"Eeek!" Mummy! Stop doing that already! With a squeak, the little sister jumped away from her mother, but when she came to her senses, she puffed out her cheeks in resentment. Her hair stood on end, but she quickly straightened it.

And what I've noticed is that only mom and dad have cat ears and a tail, and my sister and I don't have these features. Do they appear with age? Thinking that these are just realistic toys, I immediately brushed it off, because I myself purr like a cat sometimes!

"If you'd listened to me more often, I wouldn't have done that. Mom said calmly, adjusting her clothes and glancing at me. Seeing that I didn't react in any way to this explosion of spiritual energy, she continued. Although it actually had a huge impact on me, my motivation soared to unprecedented heights and I was eager to learn how to do the same! No, it's even better!

"Especially since a month hasn't passed yet, your brother still has a whole week. So go study as we agreed. Mom waved at the door, showing that this conversation was over, and anyway, she was reading a book and eating fruit.

"Well, maaam..." Her sister tried to beg again, but her mother quickly cut it through.

"Shirou, have you forgotten our promise?" Shall I remind you, or shall we forget about him? Making a "stern" face, my mother began to talk to her sister in a serious tone.

Sniff, sniff, I can smell manipulation here. Such a strong smell. And it smells of my goddess dash mommy. For me, this game of hers is funny and comical, but for other children...

"No! I remember—" She was afraid that her mother would break their promise, and in an instant she became a quiet and modest girl.

I even wondered what this promise was. With my ears perked up, I listened attentively.

"Yes?" And I think you've forgotten, repeat what you promised me. "The world is on my side today, so I can find out what that promise is!"

And so, the veil of secrecy was opened to me and I found out about their agreement...

"I'll study hard and obey, and my mom will let me hold my brother in a month!" Her sister recounted the terms and reward of their little promise.

I stared blankly at my mother, she was trying to hide her smile, it wasn't working out well, but Shirou didn't notice. He looked at his sister, who tasted the bitterness of defeat and failure, looking sadly at the floor. He looked at his mother's victorious smile again and... I admired her.

All the pieces of the puzzle fell into place and I wanted to pat my mother for her resourcefulness and ingenuity.

My mother knew that my sister with her strength could harm me if she took me in her arms, but she also knew that I was developing quite quickly. I can already hold my head up and roll over onto my stomach. By the way, that's why my mother attached bars to the bed, which can be lowered and raised. That's right, just in case.

And one month would be enough for my weak body to be strong enough for Shirou's embrace. But how do you explain this to a little girl?

Therefore, my mother agreed with my sister in her childish language "you are for me this, I am for you this", that she would study and obey her, and in return she would allow me to take me in her arms in a month.

Mom killed not two birds with one stone, but three dragons with one shot.

First of all, my sister has started to study, and secondly, this egoza can now be controlled! And thirdly, I shouldn't be afraid that Shirou will pick me up and hurt me in the next month.

I just made a mental note of how to control my children in the future. And sooner or later they will. And when they appear, it will be sheer uncontrollable chaos, but now I know the method of how to control them...

To some extent, I understand my mother's strictness towards her, because if she is soft, this girl will sit on her neck, dangle her legs, pull out all the hair on her head and eat brains with a teaspoon, but sometimes you need to be softer.

"Well done for remembering that, and now go study, you'll have classes start soon." "Mom showed a little kindness, but not so much that Shirou exploded with joy and broke everything here.

"Mom, can I at least hold my brother's hand!" I promise I'll go to school right after that! "My sister realized that she wouldn't get anywhere by whining, so she decided to act differently.

Like a mother, like a daughter... I feel that if an ordinary soul got into this body, i.e. without personality and memories from a past life, it would quickly be screwed by these two cute witches and molded into a boy's pie.

But I won't fall into their net, will I?

"Hmm... I think that—" Mom thought, looking at me and my sister. And only when she was about to say something, I suppose she resolutely refused, the little sister quickly added.

"And I promise I'll listen to my mother!" As if throwing all her favorite toys into the abyss, the little sister added with a face as if she had lost something important to herself.

And she has well-developed senses, she immediately understood that they would refuse and used heavy artillery.

— ... Three months. Mom asked, for her sister could obey once, and then start wreaking havoc again.

(Clap, clap, clap) I clapped in my mind, still lying quietly beside me, watching this interesting scene soaked in manipulation and strangeness.

"Two months—" Frowning and clenching her fists, her little sister tried to bargain for her freedom, but...

"The door is there. Taking the book in her hand, my mother waved her free hand towards the door, looking for the page on which she stopped.

I looked at my sister, wondering if she would agree.

To be honest, I like the way Shirou tries just to hold my hand.

Although he probably understands that he is holding back his strength a little badly, he still wants to do it. Isn't this the mythical true love of brother and sister that I've only seen in weird movies??!!

"Grr... Okay! I agree! I'm going to be a good girl for three months and I'm going to listen to my mother! Happy?! Hmph—" Shirou surrendered under her mother's pressure.

Well, if you look closely, my sister isn't that bad. Yes, she's like a nuclear reactor, able to stay awake for days and nights without getting tired and bored with her chatter, but she loves me, so it's probably forgivable for her.

"Alright, Tai Lung, come here. Putting the book down again, this time noting on which page I was reading, my mother took me in her arms.

"Meet your big sister, Shirou. Shirou, this is Tai Lung, your younger brother. "Mom started introducing us.

In general, I am still uncomfortable with the fact that we are introduced almost a month later, although I understand why.

If Shirou doesn't calculate her strength, and she's too small and can't control herself as well as her mother, I might be in for a comedy.

But now I understand why the servants don't look after me. I don't think I'd trust something so fragile that it could break at a touch like I did. And I love myself very much, and my mom loves me even more, and she also has physical needs.

Well, she won't take my mother with her to a dangerous bathhouse, will she? Or into a dangerous and harsh world...

"Ahh I saluted my little sister with my tiny hand, smiling my most dazzling smile I could muster.

"Oh... Whoa, brother, you're so cute! My little sister jumped on me, trying to hug me, I shuddered a little, but Mom's crack sent Shirou from heaven to earth.

Thank you Mommy, you saved my life. And I'm not kidding now, I really could have died in her arms.

Now I clearly understood that if we had met a month ago, she would have stupidly killed me with her embrace.

Brr...

- Pull yourself together or do you want to scare your brother? Do you want him to be afraid of you for the rest of his life? "And yet, I have to admit that a mother is just great at manipulating children.

"N-no! Okay, I'm sorry, brother. Let me introduce myself! She glanced at her mother and saw her nod

"My name is Shirou and I'm your big sister!" She received my simple aga in response, but even that made her happy.

I think after so many introductions, even I would remember her name, by the way, but what is my mother's name? Hmm

"Hehe, your hands are so small and soft..." My sister took my hand gently and carefully.

My heart skipped a beat and unexpectedly began to beat faster. I'm used to my mom and I don't react so violently anymore, but when I met my sister, I experienced that feeling again. Still, it was a little difficult for me to make acquaintances in my previous life, and now a girl, although small, meets me herself!

"Come on, say 'Shi-ro'" Gently approaching me, Shirou tried to teach me how to pronounce her name.

"Shirou, Tai Lung is still young and can't speak..." Mom reminded her sister that I was less than a month old and I couldn't talk stupidly, but she stammered...

I've decided to reward my sister, it's a small thing, but it's going to be a gift for Shirou.

"Shhh Shi-ro, Shirou! "On the second try, I was able to more or less pronounce my sister's name. Still, it is easier to pronounce a name with four letters than with five... Chm...

Thanks to my training, when I called my mother, I practiced to start talking as soon as possible, of course, so that my mother would not understand that there was at least some sense in my "auuaao", because her hearing was whoa. I think it paid off, but even this action gave me a sore throat. I don't think I can do it again.

My sister almost peed with happiness, it's good that she let go of my hand before that, otherwise it would have hurt me, Shirou just began to glow with happiness, mom...

I look up at my mom and... Oh, hmm, it was awkward.

Her red eyes grew dim. The ears that had been standing merrily drooped sadly down and pressed against his head. The tail that happily wagged there seems to be pressed against the bed now. Is it just me that mom is getting moisture in the corners of her eyes?

Something in me began to slowly wake up, and it's...

My conscience was awakened from a long sleep. From tiny, ridiculous, and tiny size, it began to grow larger and larger, to the point where it equaled greed, greed, sloth, lust, gluttony, and other sins, but it continued to grow and grow.

The shackles called the Seven Deadly Sins (I have more) that had held her back all this time, like chains broken, and then finally shattered into small pieces under the awakened power of conscience.

That throbbing in my chest, the sucking feeling in my stomach, the heaviness on my shoulders, the bitterness in my mouth, the lump in my throat, without a doubt, it's... My conscience.

It's been a long time since I've felt these feelings. You're not dead, dear, it's been a long time since we've seen each other. Welcome back. You're the one who will save me at this moment!

Following the feelings that gave me a revived and long-forgotten feeling, I began to create.

My will, which had become stronger than iron, grasped the small ball of energy inside me in my abdomen with a steel grip.

I began to forcibly draw the energy I wanted from there. I remember the benefits it provides. With it, I will definitely be able to do what I have in mind!

And, finally, I managed to draw out a crumb of energy.

(Badum)

The power that had been dormant in me was reawakened by a stronger and more powerful energy, a concentrated conscience.

From the abdomen, thanks to my actions, the desired energy began to be intensively produced. It began to flow throughout my body, nourishing, strengthening, strengthening, and repairing it.

Controlling it with my hardened will, I let it go in the direction of my throat, right up!

I could feel the last drops of my energy dissolving in my throat area, and it stopped hurting.

Well, I'm as good as new again, it's time to get started!

It was as if my consciousness had sped up and it took just a few seconds of real time, but for me they were the most important and variable seconds of my life.

I collect air in my lungs and...

— Mom! — I'm going to say one word!

And the effect was not long in coming.

A single word from mine had as much effect on my mother as a necromancer's spell. Even better.

The cat's ears rose happily to the sky again, the tail straightened sharply and began to swing wildly back and forth, and the fire of life returned to the eyes and flared up more and more!

My conscience calmed down and lost its grip, it was not lost sight of my many sins and began to quickly recover from the dust.

Dust, and these were my ruined sins, gathered into pebbles, pebbles into cobblestones, cobblestones into hills, hills into mountains, and finally my sins took their original form!

They lashed out at his conscience and violently tore it to pieces, holding it back, braiding, destroying it, and sealing it up again.

They sealed my conscience again.

See you sometime in the future, my old friend.

Looking at my happy mother, and my sister, who did not miss my mother's state and began to let go of her hands, she kneaded my cheeks, I decided to give myself completely to the kingdom of morpheus and stupidly fell asleep...

No, this is not a cowardly escape, but a rescue and restorative sleep, for I have spent all my strength on these two words!

…

I remembered the events of yesterday.

I thought it was all a scary, but kind of cute, dream. But when I woke up and saw my mother's face in front of my eyes, which radiated a bright desire to talk to me, I realized that it was real.

Well, you can look for advantages everywhere, for example, I have learned to control my spiritual energy again and now I will be able to make my mother read me simple books by repeating one powerful word "Mom, read" two powerful words. And she will also talk to me more from now on.

Yes, there are only advantages everywhere, but... There's one fly in the ointment in this barrel of honey, and that's...

This is the cute creature who pretends to be my sweet sister and now keeps up with me asking for her name.

Still, what's my mother's name?

To be continued….
