Chapter 21 - Good Night

In an instant, Mio's family members have increased. The figure of the little girl who joined us in the dining room is a spirit who was successfully summoned by Mio's mother spirit contract.

 This spirit figure is not much different from Mio's, short bright brown hair and a pair of bright brown eyes that shine brightly add to the cuteness of this little girl.

 What different about this little girl from ordinary little girls is the aura that surrounds her body. A calm and greenish aura flies around her body. When I observe her, she looks back at me and smiles as if greeting me.

 Mio and Mio mother sit beside her while holding back their unfinished sobs. It seems, they still have the deepest longing for the figure of Mio's little sister who has left.

 Mio's father wants to join them, it's just that... something happen about him.

 "Um? Can you move your sword blades away from my head?" said Mio father to Mio.

 Yes, Mio father is now trapped by Mio swords that limit his movement.

 "Nimi, try eating this.." Mio mother tries to feed the spirit figure who uses her child's form.

 For some emotional reason, this summoned spirit inherited the name of Mio's deceased younger sibling.

 "Nimiiii~" Mio tried to feed Nimi with a snack on her spoon while taking care her father with sword.

 This scene felt calming, but...

 Why does my chest hurt after seeing Mio like this?

 I know this is a natural relationship to release the deepest longing for a younger sibling.

 It's just..

 I feel uncomfortable with this situation.

 What has happened to me?

 I stood up from my chair and started to leave Mio's family dining room.

 I left Mio's house and walked along the city streets while enjoying the night breeze. Seeing the warmth of Mio's family and their small hearthwarming wounds that were slowly healing in their family reminded me of one thing.

 "Family, huh?" I muttered softly as if looking for an answer to my little question.

 "I also want to feel a family like that, but.."

 What did I just think?

 Getting the warmth of a family like that with my physical condition like this?

 That's impossible, right?

 Without realizing it, my feet stepped into a city park filled with violet flowers. This was the first time I had seen flowers that glowed violet at night. The gentle wind blew against my body and gave me a calming feeling of comfort.

 [ Are you okay, Lily-chan? ]

 Oh, this voice? Is there a goddess?

 [ Lily-chan is unusually upset like this, is there a big problem? ]

 I shook my head and sat on the park bench that had been provided.

 The warmth of Mio's family made me a little jealous of their treatment of fellow family members. Unlike my family who were too cold and silent without communication.

 [ Fufu .. so that's the problem? Lily-chan doesn't need to worry. Why don't you try communicating with your twin step sisters first? Lily-chan can use the contents of the magic book as a topic of conversation. ]

 Um .. will that be okay?

 [ Everything will be okay, Lily-chan. Communication is necessary to form a social relationship. Without communication, everything will be normal and bland. ]

 I-I understand.

 I-I will try to talk to my twins step little sisters.

 [ Kyuuu! I can't wait for the relationship of a twin step little sister who loves her older sister too much! Yuri is indeed good and Siscon is a refreshing addition. But, Siscon Yuri is the perfect main dish to enjoy! ]

 I don't understand what Goddess said next.

 But, as far as I understand she wants me to get close to my twin step-sisters, right?

 Talking to my little sisters feels very difficult and there's no harm in trying to talk to them, right?

 Hearing Goddess words that spoke to me tonight, my mood became relieved. Maybe there is one small chance that my step-family can become my new family completely. Even with long hard work and holding back unpleasant feelings.

 [ Fufu.. feel relieved already? ]

 "Um!" I nodded in response to Goddess words.

 [ It's time to go Mio home, Lily-chan. I'll take you in some special place. ]

 [ Ah! I'll take you to Mio's bathroom for small love event! ]

 Eh? Why the Mio's bathroom?

 Before I could get an answer from Goddess, the view in front of me suddenly changed and made my head dizzy. Suddenly, I felt nauseous and tried to hold it in.

 [ Oops! I forgot about this. ]

 [ This is Lily-chan's first time experiencing teleportation magic. So, Lily-chan feels a little nauseous with the sudden change of place. ]

 Luckily, this is the Mio family's bathroom. I looked for a suitable place to relieve myself.

 The more I held it in, I could feel the food in my stomach trying to rise to the surface.

 Ugh! This feels disgusting.

 [ S-Sorry Lily-chan. I'll give you a little recovery magic. ]

 Suddenly my body emitted a golden yellow light and the nausea I felt slowly disappeared.

 Isn't this useful magic?

 [ Phew..! That was close. Then, I'll excuse myself to enjoy the next scene. ]

 Huh? What does that mean?

 I immediately got out of Mio's family bathroom and met Mio who was about to enter the bathroom.

 "Lily-sama?"

 Seeing Mio's worried expression, it seemed like I had been gone too long.

 "Is Lily-sama okay? I heard a small voice inside."

 "Ah! T-That.." don't tell me Mio heard my voice while holding back my nausea.

 "Lily-sama, please rest in my room for now," Mio immediately grabbed my hand and led me to her room.

 For the third time, I was in Mio's room.

 It was getting late and the dim light of Mio's room made me want to fall asleep on Mio's bed.

 "Lily-sama.." Mio approached my body and took off the clothes I was wearing.

 "Eh? M-Mio?"

 "Maybe this isn't Marquess Rommel's residence. But, I'm still Lily-sama's maid."

 "Uh! Uhm.." I couldn't protest Mio's words.

 "Lily-sama, maybe this nightgown is too big and looks ordinary. But, it feels comfortable to sleep in," Mio immediately took off the clothes I was wearing and replaced them with the nightgown she had prepared.

 The nightgown Mio gave me was a little too big and felt loose.

 "Um! I didn't know it was this loose. But.. this is... LEWD!" said Mio holding back her saliva.

 What is this?

 I felt something strange about Mio's attitude.

 "Lily-sama.. come here!!" Mio was now lying on her bed and inviting me to lie down beside her.

 I started to move up to Mio's bed and lay down right next to Mio's body.

 Unexpectedly, Mio's hands began to hug my body. With this close distance, I could feel her breath blowing on my long hair.

 "Lily-sama.. thank you.." Mio said in a soft tone in my ear.

 "I-I'm very happy to be able to see the figure I've missed for a long time again. Once again, thank you very much, Lily-sama. This little happiness makes me-" I stopped Mio's words with a soft kiss on her lips.

 Without a word spoken, I understood Mio's feelings and Mio accepted my feelings.

 "Lily-sama.." Mio let go of my kiss and now her body position was above me.

 "This body already belongs to Lily-sama, right? Can Mio be a little greedy for tonight?"

 "Huh?" I wanted to answer Mio's question but our lips met again.

 On this silent night and the small light that illuminated Mio's room, we kissed until midnight and Mio fell asleep soundly after being satisfied kissing my lips.

 I didn't protest Mio's actions, because..

 I also enjoy this greedy side of Mio.
