After the party, which lasted until dinner time ...
Sarah, Sebastian and Atomsk dismissed Mathias, James and Jehko as they left the house and escorted them to the carriage, which would take them to the village.
Once the three eldery people left the mansion, they all went to their rooms to meditate, since it was quite late.
…
Atomsk in his room began to meditate, while Libera Me From Hell read again and again the books that Sarah had lent him about general world culture and cultivation theories.
This morning Atomsk had explained that while he meditated, Libera Me From Hell was able to read, so he would read as much as possible during those hours... So Sarah, quite happy about not having to give him history and general knowledge classes, delivered a large number of books from the library.
[It's lucky that she had so many books...😁
I was getting bored at night without Libera Me From Hell having anything to do😩
Although they will not last long either, with this eidetic memory I just need to turn the page to read it😋
After finishing all these books, what will I do?🤔
It's okay to massage myself, but ... I'm more than relaxed after so many hours😂
I would prefer to practice Blacksmithing, but that would wake up the people of the mansion...😑
It's a shame, I have so many ideas and plans for this profession ... I guess I'll have to wait ...😤
Being an elementary school boy again is a shit...😔
I want to stop acting like a child...😒
Now I understand how hard the life of Shinichi Kudo as Conan Edogawa was😅]
…
While Atomks was still focused on his thoughts and reading, someone knocked on the door
"Hello Atomsk, are you awake? I can pass?"
It was Sarah
"Yeah, wait a minute, let me get dressed" Said Atomsk while Releasing Me From Hell helped him get dressed
[Me and my new taste for nudism…😂
I do not know how I could live before without Libera Me From Hell, with him everything is easier🤣]
"Ok, now you can pass" Atomsk said as he approached the door.
Sarah entered the room, she was wearing a pretty white summer pajamas, but...
What drew attention to Atomsk was not his clothes but his expression.
Sarah had a very complicated facial expression, she was worried, restless and somewhat frightened…
"Atomsk I have something important to tell you ... I would like to know your opinion, but before you make a decision I would like you to listen to me until the end, please" Sarah said as she sat on the bed and pointed to Atomsk to sit down as well.
"Do you remember that I told you this morning, that we would continue doing this training routine for two and a half weeks?
I said that because in two and a half weeks it will be when I have to return to Frynoer with my family, since the new course starts at the Royal Academy ...
And I wanted to know ... if you would like to come with me ... as my little brother "Sarah said taking out all the courage she could.
Atomsk was about to answer her, but Sarah did not give him the chance.
"I have not finished yet... you must know that, if you agree to come with me as my little brother, you may have problems.
The situation in my family ... and especially my situation is ... quite complicated.
Joining or even marrying people who are not of the nobility is not well seen by a large majority of my family ... a powerful majority ... A difficult majority to ignore...
In addition, even if I'm the only daughter of the head of the family ... I cannot do what I please...
Therefore, adopting you as my little brother ... can cause you many problems because of these people...
If you want, you can come with me, but not like my little brother... but do not worry, I'll help you as much as I can, I'll find you a good family and I'll visit you whenever I can... That way it's likely that nobody bothers you and that I can see you without problems..." Sarah said trying not to make eye contact with Atomsk, for fear of his answer.
Atomsk began to understand the situation Sarah was in, so he left aside his childhood performance and spoke seriously for the first time since he met her...
Atomsk stopped playing the role of the adorable 9-year-old
Now he was being himself... that change of attitude disconcerted Sarah a bit…
"Sarah, before you asked me, I already had the answer to your question, and I will give it to you regardless of what you tell me next, but before I told you ... I would like you to answer some questions ..." Atomsk said seriously while looking at Sarah's eyes.
Sarah, who did not expect that reaction from Atomsk, said uneasily and without thinking too much "Yes, of course"
"The reason you have problems within your family is ... was it because of your mother?" Atomsk said as he watched the changes in Sarah's expression and listened to the beating of her heart ... which did not stop accelerating...
[It seems that I am right😔]
"How ... how did you know?" Sarah said, which was stunned by Atomsk's question.
"It is clear that Jehko and James, your maternal grandparents are not noble, so your mother would not be either... and I know that your mother... has died because of what you told me the first day when we arrived at the mansion" Currently only I use it as a holiday home
It is very strange for your mother someone who loved her town so much, where her parents also live... Don't use the mansion.
Adding that to what you have told me now about those people in your family whom you seem to hate ... is the most logical conclusion I could find "Atomsk said, without pretending to ignore what was happening around him
Sarah was shocked by Atomsk's deductive ability ... a 9-year-old boy who barely knows anything about the world, but who was able to understand virtually every problem in his life with simple details like the ones he mentioned…
"That's right, my mother was a commoner, of which my father, the future head of the Vermillon family fell in love ... and she died when I was 10 years old" Sarah replied, because she did not see the reason or the possibility of lie to Atomsk.
Atomsk sighed as he grabbed Sarah's hand, which seemed to be suffering. "I understand...
Another one of my questions is ... Why do you want me so much to be your little brother?
It is evident that the fact that I become your little brother will give you and your father more problems than I could have...
Why do you worry so much about me? "Atomsk asked again ... This was the question that caused the most intrigue in Atomsk.
Sarah looked at Atomsk, who was still holding her hand with great affection.
Then, Sarah picked him up, and hugged him from behind, making him sit on her knees, and answered
"This question is likely… related to the previous one ...
My mother died giving birth to the one who was going to be my little brother ...
Since then the relationship between me and my father began to deteriorate a lot, and also increased pressures from the Elders ... practically Sebastían has been my only company this time ...
I have felt very lonely ... despite being surrounded by so many people.
A few days ago, I went down to the village to see my grandparents, and while I was taking a walk... I saw that the people of the town were very excited... they told me that there was a strange and at the same time adorable child, who seemed to have appeared from the forest, with torned clothes stained with blood ...
I looked for him, out of curiosity ... and when I found him, with clothes quite different from the ones that they described to me; three bullies were attacking him.
I helped him simply because it was what should be done in that situation ... and because they had insulted me badly ...
I only wanted find out a little about the origins of that boy, but…
That adorable creature hugged me and called me older sister...
I know it's absurd ... but ... I do not know what happened to me at the time, but ... I felt very happy and complete ... I had not felt that way ... from the day my mother, an little brother died...
Once that adorable child explained to me that he was alone in the world and that he did not even know where he was ... I could not contain myself and I decided to take him home with me.
He was a very funny, happy and adorable boy... who has always treated me with sweetness and made me feel good with myself and with my appearance... He liked to train with me, and be with me... He was like the little brother I always wanted...
I really wanted him to be my little brother, despite all the problems that could cause ... Although I knew it was impossible, my family would not accept it.
Luckily this adorable child turned out to be a genius, with an AVATAR never seen, with a new type of Avatar never seen ... he was also a fighting genius and, furthermore, also proved to be compatible with smithy and had spatial attributes ...
Thanks to his talent ... I recovered the hope of being able to adopt him as my brother ... since it was possible that my family could see the future benefits that it could bef I did it...
Then one night, I went to his room and asked him if he wanted to be my little brother, hoping that he would say yes, despite all the problems that could cause him.
And... I guess that's it all until now... " Sarah said, while her eyes got wet
"Sarah ..." Atomsk sighed, looking at Sarah with sorrow.
[Poor girl…😭
She is so broken inside..😢
Despite how strong she wants to appear to be😟]
"I know I'm being too emotional, childish, irrational and selfish, but ... I ..." Sarah said as she tried to endure the urge to cry ... without success.
However, at that moment Atomsk got up and while he wiped her tears with his hands, he said in a tender and protective tone "I still have one last question to ask you, but I think it would be better to give you my answer already ... older sister"
The moment Sarah heard "big sister" her heart started beating faster and tears began to fall harder ... making it useless for Atomsk to clean them. "So that means ...?" Sarah asked, wanting to confirm at all costs that what she had heard was true...
"That's right, as of today I am your little brother and you my older sister ... and all those who dare to mess with you, be they of the Vermillon family or not ... Me and Libera Me From Hell will send them to hell" Atomsk said while he hugged Sarah, and kissed her on the forehead ...
Sara with a heart full of joy and relief for the words of Atomsk, returned the hug and filled him with kisses, while she continued crying ... but this time, crying with joy...
Meanwhile Atomsk, liquid adrenaline was falling from his eyes... again...😢
