Light's Happiness, 8-Years-Old, and Rain's Growth
Now, I am living happily every day.
In fact, right now, a beautiful maid puts me on her lap and strokes my head while bathing in the gentle sunlight.
And in front of me, my younger sister, who calls me [Onii-sama], is playing with Ginko with a big smile on her face.
Needless to say, the beautiful maid is Maria, and the one who calls me [Onii-sama] is Rain.
At first, they were distant, but when they started to get used to each other's lives, Rain started calling me [Onii-chan].
Even though we're the same age, why? When I asked her, she said, [It is because I admire you.] and I felt embarrassed.
Maria said, [I am a servant, so I need to use honorific titles].
I was glad to hear that this was their way of making a compromise with me.
Why is Rain calling me [Onii-sama] now and not [Onii-chan] like in the beginning?
It is because of the studies we gave her.
In the beginning, Rain was illiterate. So Sebas, Grandma Fel, and I sometimes taught her to study, and she learned it within a month.
The reason for this came to my mind immediately.
She is a [Hero]. Probably because of that skill, she learned quickly.
Of course, not only the skill but also her own motivation is involved.
She must have enjoyed learning so much that she became absorbed in her studies.
I can't count the number of times she came to my bedroom when I was about to go to bed and asked me to teach her.
Of course, I taught her, but Maria later found out and was angry.
That's why I suggested that women learn other things as well. I taught the manners and tastes of noble children...
She was hooked.
And she mastered it perfectly.
One day, everyone was stunned when she suddenly showed me her perfect curtsey, smiled a graceful smile, and called me [Onii-sama].
Rain began not only to study but also to train like me.
And she asked me to teach her combat techniques.
At first, I was reluctant, but I gave in to Rain's enthusiasm, saying, [I want to be strong so that I can always be by Onii-sama's side].
Unlike me, she can't copy skills, so I thought she would have a hard time acquiring them, but that was not the case.
Thanks to her [Hero] skill, the speed of acquiring skills was quite fast. And the skill level also rose quickly.
I even suspected that the [Hero] skill was more of a cheat than the [Demon King].
The treatment for Maria's mana deficiency is still going on after a year. Currently, her total mana is about half that of an adult.
Recently, she has been able to use [Life Magic] again, which she could not use before the treatment.
When she found out that she could use it again, she was happy with tears in her eyes.
However, I warned her not to overexert herself, as she would still get tired if she used it repeatedly.
The biggest change in Maria is her appearance.
The impression that she was old when I first met her has been transformed into a young woman.
She is so vibrant and beautiful that I think she might be younger than her actual age.
Her body, which used to look like bones, is now firm and she has enough physical strength to carry on with her daily life.
She jokingly says things like, [Have I gotten fatter than when I was younger?] but she's still quite slender and beautiful.
Yes. Whenever I see Maria, my vocabulary drops.
She no longer has the sadness she had when I first met her, and perhaps because she trusts me, she smiles a lot.
At a moment's notice, she suddenly smiles like a flower breaking open from her serious expression of mysterious beauty......
I don't know how to say it, it makes my heart feel hot...
Yep. No good. Try not to think too deeply about it.
At that time, a gentle voice spoke to me from above my head.
"Light-sama, it's almost time to head to the Adventurer's Guild."
Maria told me.
Too bad. My blissful time is not going to last much longer.
"If it pleases you so much, I will do it for you anytime you like."
Maria replied with a giggle.
Apparently, it was reflected in my expression.
I changed the subject to cover it up.
"A-are you two coming with me today?"
"Yes. We will accompany you."
Lately, Maria and Rain have been following me more often.
The first time I took them to the knight order or the adventurers' guild, I had a hard time.
I was teased and harassed a lot, probably because they were jealous of me.
I was embarrassed and got angry, but the knights and adventurers laughed at me, saying they were joking.
It was a real problem.
Both Maria and Rain smiled and said, [It seems like everyone loves you a lot]. But...
No, no matter how you look at it, it's just jealousy.
Thanks for the chapter
