Volume 1: Chapter 1 - Part 8
Author: Geraint
When we arrived at the Hospital, we quickly ran out of the the car and rushed inside the building as the doctor spoke to the nurse lady working at the reception counter.
"Huh? Akitsuki-sensei?"
Seems like she recognize him since he is a doctor of a small clinic around here.
"Do you know where they brought a woman named Mia Laurier? She's with her daughter and two of them got into a car accident."
"Oh, you mean Miss Mia Laurier and her child actress daughter Miss Yuuka Laurier. They were just currently being treated at the emergency department. Miss Yuuka Laurier is fine but she suffered from deep cut around her left eye. Her mother is in critical condition and being monitored at the ICU."
"Okay, thank you!"
The doctor ran again and I followed after him to the emergency department when we stopped in front of the large door with red light above.
"Seir, you should go and check on Yuuka and see how she's doing. You can't go farther from here unless you're a doctor."
"Okay..."
He was breathing heavily and sweat are falling from his face in anxiousness.
"I'll tell you the news later. See ya." the doctor entered the emergency room.
I went back and asked a nurse walking along the hallway and she brought me to the room where Yuuka was being take cared.
"Let me go! I want to see my mommy right now!" we found her struggling with the two nurses. Half of her face was covered in bandages with a taint of blood soaked around her left eye. Her left arm was also covered in bandages with a support arm sling hanging around neck and shoulder with a strap. She was wailing until she fell on her knees on the floor when the nurses let go of her.
"Uuuuuuuu! What did my mommy do to deserve this?! She's been working hard everyday to support me even though she was being abused by my daddy! Uuuuugh... God, please... don't take my mommy away! Uuuuuuugh..."
While crying, she touched the covered part of her face and more tears fell down from eyes.
"It can't be-- No way... I can't become idol anymore! Waaaahh! I'm ugly!" the nurses felt pity on her as they brought her back to her room.
Several minutes later, after the nurses left, I came out from my hiding and entered inside the room when I found her sitting on the corner of her bed, looking depressed while hiding under her blanket. I just sat on the side of her bed while staring at her moping.
"Go away! Don't come near me." she gave me a sharp glare.
"We just came to visit you and your mother."
"If Mommy just stop chasing over that doctor, this wouldn't happen. I'm fine not having a dad as long as mommy and I are together... I will be happy but now, mommy is in critical condition and I may even lose my job as child actress with my face like this. My dream of becoming an idol adored by everyone is not possible anymore."
I didn't understand her dream and what is this idol job, but I understand what is she going through and she has my sympathy. Tears are dripping out of her right eye again and she started to cry again.
"Uuuuuu~ Mommy."
Speaking of mother, mine was a human hero who got captured by the current demon king and she turned into his plaything after losing against him which result of me getting born between them. After my birth, my mother just suddenly disappeared from the castle while I was left behind and demons took care of me as one of them. That's why, I grew up not knowing who's my mother but I didn't really care that much.
Seeing Yuuka's condition, I was thinking of healing her injuries with my magical power but I need to speak first to the doctor so I can make him more indebted to me. I also can't think of any benefits from helping them and I'll be just the one who will be in trouble later if I used my magic carelessly, especially when people of this world discovered my abilities. Things will ended up very bad for me since I still have no means to return to my home world right now. A lot of people will be looking for me to abuse my power for their own sake. If that really happens, I have no choice but destroy this country even things ended up in massacre. I already learned how greedy humans are, especially in my home world. They will do anything to attain wealth and power even blood of their own kind get splattered on the ground.
*Knock!* *Knock!* *Knock!*
Someone came knocking at the door and I stood up when I suddenly sensed bloodlust coming from the other side of the door. I sighed, rubbing the back of my head, realizing that I got involved to another troublesome situation.
"Well, well. Wherever world I go, humans will be always the same troublesome kind."
I jumped on the bed then I immediately grabbed Yuuka and carried her in my arms.
"Huh?... Kyah! What are you doing? Let me go!" she became agitated.
"Shut up your mouth if you want to remain alive!" she got frightened by my words.
The door opened with two tall men entering suddenly the room with their face covered with facemask. They took out their artifact weapons that looks like the thing that showed to me by Lilith several days ago.
"Assassins? Looks like it wasn't an accident."
They pointed their artifact weapons and I quickly jumped and kicked the window, shattering the glass as we escaped outside the building.
"Gyaaaaah!"
Yuuka saw that we are falling from the fourth floor and she screamed very loud. We landed down on the ground smoothly and safely which shocked her as we ran away forward.
"Huh? How did you do that? What really are you to survive that fall?"
"You are being targeted right now. What did you and your mother do that they go after your lives? Did you guys upset anyone?"
"We didn't do anything. We are just living a normal life."
"Really? Then who will benefit the most if you two died in that accident?"
Yuuka froze when she thought of something.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"No way... Why would Daddy do that?" she held her head in shock.
"So, it was your father."
"Mommy already kicked him out of the mansion before they even got their divorce. With Grandma and Grandpa passing away, Daddy knows that Mommy will inherit all their wealth since she's the one who made the family businesses grow so big. I don't think father will able to steal those inheritance since the law won't allow that unless there's a relative of us working behind with his plans."
"Wow, you're actually smart to know those things."
"Mommy taught and remind me just in case. She has a lot of enemies within the family and relatives after all. There are already many attempts to her life but they just failed every time. This time, Mommy was so distracted of the doctor."
"Such a dangerous family. No wonder the doctor is scared of your mother."
I stopped and his behind the large tree with her.
"Mommy..."
Yuuka showed a sad expression again, remembering her mother.
"Seir!"
I saw the doctor running towards us.
"I want you to help me with something. Let's hurry!" he grabbed me in the wrist and pulled me but I refused and didn't budged.
"Huh? What are you doing? We don't have enough much time."
"We are being chased right now by assassins and they are after Yuuka's life."
"Assassins? Oh, those guys. Don't worry, I already took care of them. The police will arrest them later. They are currently tied in that room."
"Huh? You can do that? What really are you? I just thought of you as someone coward."
"Shut up! Just follow me!"
We went back inside the hospital then I left Yuuka to the nurses and I went with the doctor which he led to the ICU but we just walked pass the room and I noticed it was empty.
"Huh? Where are we going?"
The doctor was silent and he wasn't responding to me until we arrived to a room with several wards and we stopped to one of them.
"She's here."
"Here? All I smell is death--Wait! Don't tell me!"
We entered the ward and I saw the woman we've been looking for, lying on the bed with her face and body covered in white cloth.
"So, she's dead." I felt shock to what happened to her.
The doctor suddenly trembled while gripping hard his fist then he kneeled down in front of Mia's corpse as he held her hand.
"I'm sorry, Mia. I wasn't able to do anything. I failed as a doctor." he cried.
Since, I don't know how long she's been dead so I started to cast the revival spell. I can bring her back to life by making a binding contract with her soul and she will become my servant, slave or whatever I want once she agreed. If one of us breaks the contract, the revival will be dispelled and she will die and I'll never able to revive her again. Simple as that.
I touched the Mia's corpse with my right hand, started chanting the spell as the black aura in my hand emerged and entered her body. She will meet with my apparition in some kind of dream-like world or a boundary of between life and death, and it's up to her if she wants to agree with the binding contract and be brought back to life or cross the boundary to afterlife.
"--As our binding contract, Miss Mia Laurier, from here on, for the rest of your life, you will serve me as my--"
"Mommy!" Yuuka suddenly appeared and she screamed when she saw lifeless mother. I got annoyed when interrupted me with my chanting which caused me to lose my focus.
"Shut up! Mommy this, Mommy that! Can you let me at least finish my chant--Huh?"
The corpse glowed all of sudden which shows that the binding contract has been established.
The Mia's corpse move, taking off the white cloth on her face which shocked the doctor to see her alive.
"What?! Wait! How did..." The doctor glanced to me.
"Don't you remember? You asked me to revive her. Now, here she is. It was successful."
"Huh? You can do that? Wait! I didn't say anything about reviving her."
"You're the one who told me to revive her when you called me in hurry to see her."
"That's not what I'm implying. I just want to talk to you and help me explain to Yuuka later that her mother has already passed away."
"Eh?"
Seems like, there's has misunderstanding between the two of us.
"Why is everyone here? Did something happened! Where am I?" Mia was confused, looking around.
"Mommy!" Yuuka was surprised for a moment then she immediately ran and hugged her.
"Oh, Yuuka! I'm glad you were fine! But, your face..." she embraced her back.
"It's okay, Mommy. As long as your alive, I can get through this."
"I see, it wasn't a dream. I'm really brought back to life?." Mia smiled with tears until she saw the doctor holding her hand.
"Akitsuki-sensei, your hand." she became conscious of it and her face turned red.
"Oh, I'm sorry!" the doctor immediately pulled away his hand.
Mia was still processing of what happened until she glanced to me, staring for a moment.
"Oh, I remembered now. You're Seir, right? This might be kind of silly but I just saw you in my dream and you asked me to sign a binding contract with you. I was already passing a river in that dream when you suddenly appeared and stopped me."
"Ummm..."
"Hehehe... As for the binding contract between I don't really mind you calling me your Mommy. To be honest, I really like it since you're such a cute boy. Please call me Mommy from here on and I will adopt you as my son."
"What?!!"
Yuuka and the doctor was completely shock.
"That's..."
At this moment, I knew, I messed up pretty big time and I can't refuse it since it's in the binding contract.
"Hehehe..." she looks very happy about it.
