\n\n\nChapter 40: Brother and sister\n \n \n◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ Luciel side ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆\n \n"Miss, do you hate me?"\n \nI asked her.\n \nIn the basement, where the medicinal herbs
filled the air, Miss Lilith clenched her fists in front of her chest.\n \nHer anxious blue eyes shake like the lake's
surface when the wind blows.\n \nIt is very quiet, perhaps because we are in the
basement.\n \nIt may sound a bit cliché, but it feels as if
only the two of us in this world.\n \n"............"\n \nMiss Lilith did not answer.\n \nI could see the efforts she made several times
to try. Because her mouth is moving like a baby trying desperately to speak.\n \nI hate to ask this question, but I don't think
there is any reason for the young lady to like me in the first place.\n \nA child who claims to have been living for 300
years is suddenly adopted by the Letivia family.\n \nI know that there are people who find this not
funny.\nBecause those kinds of people also exist in the
mansion where I lived before.\n \n"Why was such a sickly child born as the
son of the Sword Saint?"\n \nI am used to being hated by people.\n \nThose malicious eyes are also .......\n \nBut the Letivia family is different.\n \nThey look at me warmly, as a human being.\n \nWhen our eyes meet, they smile at me.\n \nThe same goes for Miss Lilith.\n \nShe never looks down on me. As a fellow child,
she doesn't have any hostility toward me.\n \nShe just turns away from me.\n \nAnd she looks down apologetically.\n \nI didn't understand it for a long time.\n \nThe meaning of her behavior...\n \nMaybe because it is my first time, so I am confused.\n \n...... More confused than the little girl in
front of me.\n \n"I am sorry."\n \nMiss Lilith just said a few words.\n \nShe did not only speak with a voice that sounded
like a tinkling bell.\n \nTears are also falling from her blue eyes.\n \nTears draw translucent lines on her white cheeks
illuminated by the torchlight.\n \nI hurriedly take out a handkerchief and gently
wipe Miss Lilith's tears.\n \n"I, I'm so sorry! No....I mean..........
I'm not saying that....... Miss, you're not bad...... I just wanted to know......."\n \nAah, what the hell am I doing?\n \nEven though I know that Miss Lilith is a very
sensitive person......\n \nI may have been too insensitive, but ----.\n \nI am panicking, then Miss Lilith shakes her head
violently.\n \n'It's not that. I've always, always wanted to....
apologize to you...."\n \n"Apologize.... To me.....?"\n \nMiss Lilith has nothing to apologize to me for.\n \nWhat the.....\n \n"I'm sorry."\n \n"What are you apologizing to me for?"\n \n"Because... Luciel-san has been suffering
for 300 years.... I couldn't help you for a long, long time. That's
why----."\n \nI am sorry...\n \n"Heh?"\n \nI couldn't help but make a weird sound.\n \nI couldn't help you for 300 years.\n \nI couldn't understand what this young lady was
talking about for a while.\n \nBut eventually, I understand what Miss Lilith is
trying to say.\n \nI have been in the mountains for 300 years, and
she couldn't do anything for me during those times.\n \nThat she has been living with her family
peacefully without reaching out her hand to help me.\n \nOrdinary people don't care about such things.\n \nBecause there is no way to reverse time.\n \nNo one can reverse it.\n \nEven if the Sword Sage (my father) is still
alive.\n \nHowever, Miss Lilith regrets her inability to
help me.\n \nClavis-san said.\n \nMiss Lilith is a very sensitive child.....\n \nNow I fully understand those words.\n \nAt the same time, I am warmed by the young
lady's kindness.\n \n'Miss Lilith, please allow me to touch your
hair.\n \n"Eh? Oh, yes. I don't mind.\n \n"Then...."\n \nI touch her hair.\n \n"Hafu...."\n \n"I, I'm sorry."\n \n"It's, it's okay. It's just.... Other than
my family, no one has ever..."\n \n"You don't like it?"\n \nThen Miss Lilith shakes her head wider than
before.\n \n"I don't mind.... Instead, I prefer you to
touch----."\n \nAfter saying that much, the young lady blushed.\n \nShe cries, she blushes .......\n \nThe young lady is a very restless person.\n \n"Pfft......"\n \nIt is funny, and I couldn't help but burst out.\n \n"Then, this time."\n \n"Yes...."\n \nI touch the young lady's hair once more.\n \nIt is shiny and smooth.\n \nIt is slightly moist but smooth and silky, like
white sand.\n \nWhile touching Lilith's hair, I pat her head.\n \n"Thank you"\n \n"Eh?"\n \n"Young lady cried for me. That feeling is
enough."\n \n"That----."\n \n"Would you please show me a smile instead
of apologizing from now on?"\n \n"Smile, but... oh..."\n \n"I'm not asking you to push yourself to
smile. But I've never seen Miss Lilith's smile."\n \nIt has always been that way.\n \nMiss Lilith always looks sad when she is in
front of me.\n \nEven if I knew the reason, I couldn't bear to
see such an expression on her face every day.\n \nEven though we live together under the same
roof.\n \nIf possible, I would like to see her smile.\n \nAm I being selfish? \n \nMiss Lilith is walking away from me.\n \nI thought she hated me, but that's not the
reason.\n \nShe reflects her face on the water that flows in
the basement. It is dark, but she still can see her face.\n \nI wondered what she would do, but the young lady
put her fingers on the ends of her mouth and pulled them to both sides.\n \nShe tries to force herself to smile, but it
still looks awkward.\n \nLady Lilith put her hand on her chest.\n \nShe takes one big breath, and she begins to
sing.\n \nIn the dark basement.\n \nThe girl's voice echoes as the fire of the torch
sparkles and the fire dust scatter like stars.\n \n"――――!"\n \nI was surprised when I heard the song.\n \nNot only because of the young lady's beautiful
voice but also because I recognized the song.\n \nIt was a cheerful festival song.\n \nI used to hear it once a year in the town where
I lived.\n \nI accidentally heard it while practicing my
sword skill.\n \nFor 300 years, I thought I had lost everything.\n \nBut I was wrong. I realized that there were
things that still remained, like this song.\n \nThanks to Miss Lilith.\n \n"―――――♪."\n \nI found myself singing with the lady.\n \nI let my voice echo through the basement.\n \nMiss Lilith seems very surprised to hear me
singing, but she smiles softly and continues to sing.\n \nYes, she smiled.\n \nShe finally smiles naturally in front of me.\n \nIt was beautiful and the best smile I have ever
seen.\n \nLooking at it makes my heart warm......\n \nIt was such a beautiful smile.\n \nI am glad I got to see it.....\n \nIf I couldn't see this smile for the rest of my
life, I would definitely regret it......\n \n“----… ♪”\n \nThe song ends.\n \nBefore I knew it, Miss Lilith and I were singing
so loudly that we were out of breath.\n \nWe naturally look at each other.\n \nShe doesn't look sad, but she seems very happy.\n \n"Finally...... I can see you in the
eyes."\n \nThe young lady understood what that meant and
immediately turned her head down.\n \n"Sorry----."\n \nI stopped her with my finger when she was about
to apologize again.\n \n"That word is no longer allowed in front of
me. Is that okay?"\n \n"...... Fufu.
You sound like my caretaker."\n \n"I'm sorry."\n \nAnd I naturally apologized too.\n \n"So you like singing?"\n \n"Yes, I love singing as much as I love
growing plants."\n \nThe young lady laughed again.\n \nI see. Maybe the Lurara plant has
blossomed.......\n \n"Luciel......."\n \n"Eh? Yes!"\n \nWhen I realized it, Miss Lilith stretched her
neck like a cat to approach me.\n \nShe smiles charmingly.\n \nAnd at that moment, I realized that Miss Lilith
addressed me without honorifics.\n \n"May I also make one forbidden request of
you?"\n \n"Ye, yes. What is it?"\n \n"Will you stop calling me 'Miss'?"\n \n"Eh? But
I am ----."\n \n"It's not official yet, but we're going to
be siblings sooner or later. Then I think it would be good to get used to each
other."\n \n"You mean......"\n \n"That's why let's call each other without
honorifics. I'll call you Luciel and......"\n \n"Then, I......"\n \nIt's kind of embarrassing when things change.\n \n"Lilith......"\n \n"Yes. Please take care of me, Luciel."\n \n"Please take care of me too."\n \nI feel relieved.\n \nAt that moment, I realize that I am now a member
of Clavis-san's family. Lilith and I are brother and sister.\n \n
