Chapter 436: Lycoris and Eclipsya

“…Mommy?” I look at Mommy Pandora who came to get me. She just finished talking with my master, and I think she’s going to take me back home, but for some reason she seems furious.

“Eclipsya, we’re going back home,” she says as she picks me up and lifts me. I look at my master, slightly disappointed that I already have to go. He was teaching me so many things.

“Master, as I mentioned before, I won’t have as much time to come chat with you or send letters, so you can come to my castle as much as you want to see Eclipsya,” my mother says to the master, who nods his head.

“Mommy, will the master also be able to come to the castle?” I ask, surprised.

“Yes, Eclipsya, he’ll be able to go, and that way you can learn more from him, since I can’t just leave you here…besides, dear, I came to get you so you can see your new little sister,” she says, and I feel a bit jealous.

’Another girl?…Better not try to get close to Azazel.’ Mommy notices my look and gives me a big smile.

“Don’t worry too much, I doubt she’ll want to steal Azazel from you…now, shall we go? I have something to finish, and I only came here to get you,” she says as she starts using magic.

“Okay!” I look at her, thinking of using magic to trap her…but I’m too weak for that, so the chances of failing are very high.

’I can’t trap Mommy…’ I wave goodbye to the master as he also waves, and soon we’re at the castle. I immediately feel the presence of my new sister.

If Azazel’s presence is chaotic and lively, this presence is destructive and explosive, but unlike Azazel, this same presence notices me and immediately threatens me.

“…”

“Daughter, is there a problem?” Mommy Pandora asks as I look around.

“No…”

’Is this her first reaction? Threatening me?’

“Mommy, your wife Zephyra is the mother of this new baby, right?” I ask, and Mommy Pandora nods with a big smile.

“Yes, and for now, I need to go take care of Zephyra. I just went to get you so we can stay close, and you can see your sister…”

“Mommy, what did you do with the evil humans? Will they stop attacking? Will you be able to stay with me? Will they stop hurting you?” I ask, and she seems to think before answering.

“Yes, I’ll be spending a good amount of time here at the castle with you. The humans no longer have the margin to attack me or be a threat to me, so I’ll be able to teach you and Lycoris as well.”

“And I can also invite Azazel, and the three of you will be together!” She says excitedly, and I also smile at the idea of having Azazel here.

“Now, daughter, go see your sister. You’ve probably already found her, right?” She says, and I nod in agreement.

“Yes, I’ll go.” I start running through the halls, waving to Mommy Pandora before turning the corner. I want to see my new sister, even if I’m not interested in her.

I briefly stop in the hallway and look at my mother. She’s vulnerable, so I think of using magic to lock her up. After months of training with my master, I’ve managed to create my own magic.

’Maybe…’ I see Mommy turning to enter a room. I point my hand at her, but soon receive a weak blow to the head, which is more of a warning.

“Ow…” I look up, seeing her.

“…”

“Daughter, you won’t be able to hit me with anything if you’re so bad at hiding. Although the fact that you didn’t have any malice really made me think you might try,” she says with a malicious smile. Quickly, I take off running as fast as my little legs can.

I spend a few minutes running until I stop in front of the room where I feel my sister’s presence. She also seems to sense me, and her aura becomes more threatening, as if she doesn’t want me near.

However, I still have to see her and judge everything about her, judge her strength, the beauty of her body, and everything else she has, as I don’t want any competition. Azazel is only mine, and I won’t share her with my sister.

’Mommy called her Lycoris…’ I open the door, ignoring the threat, and see her. She’s a cute girl, but I still think I’m more beautiful than her. She’s biting Aokitsu’s arm firmly, clinging to her while she’s arranging things in the room.

“Oh, Princess Eclipsya…what are you doing here?” Aokitsu asks me, while Lycoris’ eyes start observing me, and her eyebrows furrow as if it’s an annoyance.

“…I came to see my younger sister.” Lycoris releases the bite and comes running up to me, stopping in front of me. I’m taller than her because I’ve grown a bit, so she has to look up to meet my gaze when I look down.

“Baah!! Gahh!!” She looks at me dangerously, making sounds that sound like threats. Her tail whips the floor as she opens her wings, trying to look bigger and more intimidating.

’Is this it? This wild beast is my sister?’ I give an arrogant smile. It seems I worried for nothing. She’s not even real competition.

“…” I raise my hand in front of her eyes and gently wiggle my fingers, and that’s enough to distract her as she follows the movement. Just in that, I know her intellect is quite…wild.

Not that I can insult her for it. She’s my sister, and Mommy is also quite wild, according to many things I’ve heard, so being wild is something that just arises. However, the fact that she’s like this reduces the competition.

“Gaah!!?” I stick my finger in her mouth, and she’s shocked. If she’s not even able to dodge this, then she’s very weak. In the end, she’s still a baby. It must take a week to a month before she has truly elevated intelligence.

“Listen, younger sister. I’m the older sister, so I’m in charge of you now…G-GYAA!!?” She bites my finger with great force, and I quickly pull it back, seeing the blood dripping from the extremely severe bite.

“…H-Hick…” I start to cry, looking at Aokitsu, who is just staring, unsure of what to do, and seems desperate, possibly fearing she’ll be blamed for this.

“…” I sit on the floor, crying and looking at my finger with a huge bite. This is the first time I’ve been hurt like this, and it hurts a lot.

I look at her, who has a huge smile, showing her fangs dirty with my blood. Her teeth are absurdly sharp, piercing my defense as if it were nothing.

For a newborn, her strength is tremendously overwhelming. The master was teaching me to create mana armor, and although I still don’t know how to do it perfectly, I already have a lightweight mana armor, and even so, she broke through my armor.

“…” My crying increases as I lean against a corner, looking at my finger. Unlike Azazel, I do have regeneration, but it’s not as high as theirs. My master even said I can regenerate lost limbs, but more slowly than my mother.

Lycoris looks at my crying face and makes an apologetic expression. She runs up to me and puts my hand in her mouth. I try to pull away, not wanting another bite, but I see that my finger is healed when I pull it out.

“H-Huh?” I look confused.

“Baahh!!” Lycoris points to her mouth, leaving me even more confused. Moments later, she runs out of the room, and Aokitsu goes after her. I stay here, staring at my finger, until a few minutes later, she returns with a maid.

“…”

“Baahh! Haa!” She bites the maid’s arm, who just lets her. The blood starts to flow, and soon Lycoris runs her hand over it, and the wound closes. She bites again and this time licks, showing me the maid’s wound closing.

Aokitsu looks surprised, realizing this, and the maid also looks surprised. Aokitsu takes a paper from her pocket and starts writing something, handing it to the maid and sending her to deliver it to Mommy.

I finally realize that this must be Lycoris’ ability. Azazel, for example, manipulates blood. I can move objects with the power of my mind, and Lycoris must have some strange healing power that I don’t understand.

’Why did she lick me if she could heal me with her hand?’ I decide not to think about it as I wipe the tears with my sleeve.

“I’ll never thank you for healing me. You hurt me first.” Now that the pain is gone, I’m back to acting as usual.

“Hmph, I’ve seen enough of you. I’m leaving.” I go to the door as my sister stares at me intently, but without any more threats this time.

’How humiliating…’ I can’t believe I cried and was comforted by a girl much younger than me. I’m almost 1 year old! I didn’t need to be comforted by someone who barely has a few days of age.

“…” I take one last look at her, and she gives me an unabashedly large smile, showing her sharp teeth. I blush with embarrassment and anger at this mockery. I slam the door shut as I start wandering the halls.

“That brat!! Better stay away from my Azazel! If I find out she’s hurt my Azazel, I’ll cut her wings off…” I mutter, full of rage at this humiliation.

’This won’t stand! I’ll become much stronger!’ I start running through the halls, looking for Mommy Tsukuyomi. I’ll ask her to train me.

I got so focused on creating a magic to trap Azazel that I forgot to become stronger, and now a stupid younger sister who can’t even talk properly has humiliated me!

I’ll become so skilled in magic and combat that she won’t even dream of biting me again! I’ll be adept at magic and fighting to prevent being humiliated like this! And I won’t cry anymore! That was…just a reflex…I didn’t cry because it hurt too much and I was shocked to be bitten…it was just my body acting on its own.

’Now I know she’s not so stupid…’ She really sought out a maid just to throw in my face that she has healing powers. I underestimated my wild sister too much, but I won’t do that anymore! She’s smart, and now I know that.

She was probably aggressive at first because she wanted to show that she’s not beneath me, and as soon as she made me cry, she stopped the aggression because it was clear she was strong enough.

And she even healed me, as if making it clear that even if I’m not a threat, it doesn’t matter if I’m healed. Although I see remorse in her eyes, I’m still full of rage.
