After we finished our mission, we returned back to my home world with our new little companion which is the little version of Enterprise. Long white hair and purple eyes, she exactly look like Shizu-nee. Despite her adorable appearance, she acts distant with us and won't even answer any of our questions.

"I feel sticky. I'll go take a bath first." Shizu-nee spoke with tired tone and Lolisa followed after her.

"I'll wash your back, Onee-sama!"

Both of them went ahead and entered the house.

I turned towards the child on my side who's been quiet and depressed the whole time. Remembering the past life she had, I felt bad and tried to talk to her since it's just the two of us.

"Hello, your real name is Shizuka, right?"

She was surprised and slowly backed away from me while giving me threatening look with tears in her eyes. I understand her reaction since those scientist gave her the name of her own mother. The problem was she won't even talk to me or hear her voice.

"Then what should I call you?"

She looked away from me, trying to be distant from me.

"You're looking for your mother, right? I saw your memories from your past life."

Her eyes widened as she glanced at me while being cautious.

"I'm not one of those scientist. They tried to deceive you by telling that your mother is still alive to make you follow their instructions but the truth is, she was already dead and you're actually just a clone made from her DNA. I don't know what's going on inside their head for them to do horrible things with a corpse."

Tears fell from the little girls eyes and she started to cry while she trembled.

It's possible that those scientist extracted an egg cells from Shizu-nee's body after her death and they used Assisted Reproductive Technique or Test-tube baby to create a child of her. Shizu-nee had a child without her knowing.

I kneeled in front of her then patted her in the head.

"I know you had it hard from your past life but unfortunately, I was also already dead at that time. My real name is Arata Shouta. I'm Dr. Arata Shizuka, your mother's little brother."

Her cries halted as she looked at me in surprise.

"It's already too late for me to tell you but your mother was the one who was carrying you just now."

"Mama?" she finally spoke.

"That's right, Shizu-nee is your real mother. She reincarnated just like you. You're so lucky for you able to find her in the afterlife."

"Mama!"

The little girl ran excitedly inside the house.

"I can't wait to see her reaction." I grinned.

"GYAAAAH!!"

Hearing them screaming loudly, I can't stop myself from giggling.

"Wait! I'm not your mother! I don't remember having relationship with any guy!"

I entered inside the house to see the development happens.

Shizu-nee is having a hard time trying to convince the little version her who was holding on her leg while crying. Lolisa was pulling away the child to let of her big sister.

"Mama!"

"Hey! I told you, I'm not!"

When Shizu-nee noticed me, she looks desperate to ask for my help and she was also about to cry.

"Haru-kun, please do something!"

"Sorry, but I can't." I refused.

"Huh?" she was surprised when I didn't help her including Lolisa.

I told her about the memories I saw from the little girls past life and how was she created by scientist in their lab to make a clone of her.

Shizu-nee was terribly shock to learn how those scientist played with her corpse.

"In other words, she's your genuine child made from your DNA in your past life." I revealed.

"Those despicable guys! How dare they do that to me! I'll kill them all!"

I immediately pulled the little girl from her before she loses control of herself from anger.

"Just imagining them inserting their own sperm cells to my extracted egg cells, it's extremely disgusting!"

Hearing that, the little girl got upset and cried which made me confirmed that she understood her words and showed genius intellect at a very young age.

"Disgusting? Even though, she looks this adorable." I lifted the little girl towards her.

"Mama..." the little girl who has messed up face from tears and snot called for her.

"Still..." Shizu-nee refused to be affectionate with her own child.

"Fine then, if you don't want her? I'll take her. She still my niece after all." I took the little girl into my arms and embraced her.

"Hey! Are you okay with that? She is also the child of those scientist, Haru-kun." she reminded me while Lolisa is nodding with her.

"Nah, it's fine. It's not her fault from being born from a dead clumsy mother... and unknown mad scientist father."

"Ugh!" Shizu-nee has taken a critical hit from my words.

"Shizu-nee has both; a peerless beauty and extraordinary intellect. But due to her lack of experience and insight, she always ended up meeting weird guys and attracting them."

"Why? Why is it always my fault?"

I ignored Shizu-nee who was complaining to me and changed the topic of conversation.

"Anyway, Shizu-nee."

"Hey!"

"Anyway, those scientist gave her your name. Both of you are Arata Shizuka but she doesn't like it since it's supposed to be her mother's name which is yours. I want you give her a different name."

"Huh? Why me? I don't even have a naming sense." Shizu-nee refused, shaking her hands and head.

"Just give her one! You are her biological mother! If it's me, she won't accept it!" I scolded my big sister.

"Alright, alright! I'll do it! Please don't get angry. I felt like a bad person here."

"Just be responsible. I'm the one who will provide the child support anyway."

"Uuuu... Why would I always getting in trouble without me knowing and I ended up relying on Haru-kun again. My debt to him keep piling up even in after life."

Shizu-nee stared at the little girl in my arms, same as Enterprise and little Enterprise looking at each other.

"How about Akemi?"

"That's the name of the woman who cheated on his husband in the neighborhood."

"You still remember that!" Shizu-nee yelled in shock.

"Give her a decent name."

"Umm... Airi?"

"Already taken. That's the name of our cousin in the past life."

"Keiko?"

"That's the name of our Aunt."

"Ami?"

"She's your first child!"

"Aiko?"

"Have you visited a Cabaret Club?"

"Hanako then."

"She's not a ghost."

"Kaori? Ruka? Eimi? Aimi? Aika? Saeko?"

"Most of those names are pornstars."

"You're watching them!" Shizu-nee screamed then she breathed heavily from exhaustion.

"Then I'll just name her 'Fuyumi' or Fuyu-chan."

"So, in the end, you're the one who named her." Shizu-nee got irritated of me.

"Are you okay with that, Fuyumi?" I asked the little girl for confirmation.

"Mhm..." the little girl silently nods.

"Okay then, you can call me Onii-san, Mama for Shizu-nee and Obaa-san on Lolisa."

"Hey!" Shizu-nee and Lolisa objected.

"Unlike you two, I'm a legitimate adolescent, right? Fuyumi-chan?"

The little girl's face turned red when she took a glance on me and she immediately turned away, hiding her face.

"Seriously?"

Like mother like daughter. Based on what I saw in her memories, she was 8-10 years old based on her appearance when she discovered the truth about her mother. Soon enough, I will find out about the cause of her death and her real age when she crossed the afterlife after she's ready to tell us.
