Chapter 402
(402) Prologue
Translator: Tseirp
In the past, the cla.s.sic breakfast at home was toast and plain omelet . It was a daily routine for our mother to wake up an hour before us and take the eggs out of the refrigerator . Our mother always proudly claimed that letting the eggs return to room temperature was the trick to making plain omelet well .
When our mother pa.s.sed away, I took on the role to make breakfast .
Even when the first omelet I made couldn’t be called an omelet, Miri ate it and said it was delicious .
She was my salvation, my hope to live, and my joy .
Thinking back, perhaps I saved Haru and Carol because I wanted to fill the void from losing her – but if I said that, maybe I would be considered to have a sister complex .
Maybe my desire for approval was stronger than anyone else .
“Miri, help me carry this . ”
I opened the window in the log house constructed in My World and called loudly .
It was Haru that appeared instead of Miri . In fact, it felt like she ran over, just like a dog .
She would probably be angry if I told her that, as she was a White Wolf Race .
“Haru, where’s Miri?”
“Miri-sama is currently preoccupied so I came instead . ”
I wanted to tell her to not spoil Miri that much but that was impossible .
Miri’s previous life was Demon Lord Famiris‧Raritei and was Haru’s previous owner . Even now she still held her loyalty towards her .
“Master, we will help too . ”
“I will carry the milk . ”
The homunculi Pionia and Neete said as they offered to help . Pionia had an expressionless face as usual while Neete had an awkward expression .
The other day, they were influenced by Tet-sama that appeared here and they went on a rampage attacking us . After that, they lost consciousness but they finally work up .
Although they only vaguely remembered their rampage, they recalled attacking us and wished for their destruction .
Their magical and physical defense was the highest grade so they could not terminate themselves . Only my magic, Boost Ancient Nova or the Boost Big Bang that I used the other day, could kill them .
Naturally, I refused .
Nevertheless, they were still unconvinced but then Miri suggested to embed machinery in a part of their body, turning them into half-cyborg such that they can maintain their self-consciousness just like Sheena No . 3, so their problem was resolved for now .
“Hey, master . I believe for me to apologize to master for that incident, I have to allow master to play with my body . ”
“That doesn’t make any sense! Stop pushing your breast onto me . Hurry up and take the milk away . ”
“What milk? … Am I lactating?”
“Of course I’m referring to the Sugyu milk . There’s no way you would . ”
Even though I complained, I felt a little sorry for her as she took the Sugyu milk . She said those words not because she wanted to atone or was trying to seduce me . I could tell that she was forcing herself to behave as usual .
I carried omelets enough for several people with Haru and Pionia and arranged them on the yard table .
Only Miri was seated at the table . She was reading a book quietly but she noticed my approach and looked over .
“Miri, where’s Norn-san and Carol?”
“The two of them went to take a look at the chicks . Completely black chicks . ”
My World was experiencing its very first baby rush .
Calves and chicks were born .
Sugyu has particularly difficult deliveries and it would have been bad if Norn-san didn’t coincidentally join up with us that day .
She had a ranch owner acquaintance so she had helped deliver calves a couple of times .
“ … I see . ”
Because the homunculi were around, I didn’t talk much with Miri .
However, seated like this reminded me of the time we sat with just the two of us at a large dining table in a family-oriented condominium .
I didn’t want to go back now but for me at that time; it was a daily scene that I didn’t want to lose .
And speaking of things I didn’t want to lose, I didn’t want to lose my current daily life either .
Taking a step forward held the possibility of breaking this daily life .
Nevertheless, I felt that I had to move forward .
“Miri, tell me . About the Demon G.o.d . And – the way to save this world . ”
It was embarra.s.sing for a brother to have his younger sister teach him everything .
But still, I had to move forward .
