Vol. 1: Chapter 2 - Part 1
Author: Geraint
Few weeks later, I was sitting on the couch in the living room while reading medical books that I borrowed from the doctor's room. Lilith and Shiina are on their maid duty and they are cleaning a guest room upstairs while Yuuka is still resting in her room which is really strange since she already recovered from her injuries from the accident. I don't want to use my healing ability because it would be suspicious for other people of their full recovery without any scars that why I'm taking my time before I heal them so it wouldn't raised a suspicion.
These medical books gave me interest since my healing and revival abilities can't cure such conditions like natural diseases. Different kinds of those natural diseases are listed here on the books together with the symptoms and medication. The medical artifacts or technology in this world are very advance that it has all the informations about the infectious diseases that also happening in my home world. If I just had these information, a lot of demonfolks in our country will survive that That's why, I'm gathering informations as much as I can and bring them into my home world.
After I finished reading ten books in an few hours, Lilith was already standing on my side and she poured some tea in my teacup.
"Thanks."
I picked up the teacup and took a sip on it then I chose another medical book on the table and opened it up.
"We're back!"
The entrance door opened loudly and it was Mia-san yelling excitedly. She immediately went towards me when she found me and she's showing something in her hand.
"Hey! Listen to this, Yuki-kun! I have a good news!"
She was calling me a name which I don't know.
"Huh? Who's Yuki-kun?" I asked.
"Hehe... I'm glad that you asked."
She took out a folder from her bag and she gave it to me with proud look on her face.
I took the folder and opened it, seeing my picture in the certificate together with the informations about me. There's one thing that took my attention and it was registered full name.
"Akitsuki Yuki?"
"That's right. He was the one who took you as his child since he told them that you are his child with a foreign woman when he was still staying in other country."
"Wait! Aren't you supposed to be the one who will adopt me? It's dangerous if you break the binding contract!" I scolded her.
"Ufufu. Don't worry about that. I will still be your Mommy."
I noticed a gorgeous ring twinkling in her ring finger of her left hand.
"Wait! Don't tell me..."
"Akitsuki-sensei finally proposed to me and we're gonna get married soon! Kyaah!" she feels excited about it.
I was not surprised since they are already getting along pretty well after that accident.
Himiko-san came out from the kitchen then she bowed to Mia-san and greeted her.
"Welcome back home, Mia-ojousama."
Mia-san can't stop herself from smiling, seeing Himiko-san and she showed her the ring in the hand.
"Aha! What do you think, Himiko-san? I'm gonna get married soon to Akitsuki-sensei and he will become my husband. Doesn't this mean it's my victory?" she spoke to her with arrogant tone.
Himiko-san didn't show any reaction and just showed her left hand.
"What a coincidence. Shun gave me one too."
"Huh?" Mia-san's eyes widened in surprise when she saw that she also has a ring in her hand.
"Don't worry, it's nothing special like yours. This ring was supposed to be his marriage proposal to me but I betrayed him. There's no meaning anymore in this ring but only a promise that I would stay and serve the two of you from the rest of my life." Himiko-san has a sad smile on her face.
Mia-san sighed then she sat down on my side.
"You're not planning to look for another guy, right? Since, you still have feelings for him and you can't forget him."
"Yes..." Himiko-san responded honestly.
Mia-san furrowed her eyebrows to her and it seems like, she started to get mad at her again.
Noticing this, I stopped reading and closed the book loudly then I placed it back to the table after getting their attention.
"At this rate, you two will lose him again."
"What?!" The two of them surprised with my words.
"I heard directly from him that he likes the two of you. Why don't you two just share him with each other instead of fighting over him?"
"Huh?"
"You're telling us to let him two-time us?"
The two of them got angry to me.
"I can see that Akitsuki-sensei is not that devoted anymore because of his indecisiveness. If things continues, none of you will end up with him."
"But he already proposed to me!" Mia-san showed the ring in her hand again.
"He may only did that as a caution for you to not break your binding contract with me."
"..."
The two of them became speechless.
"When I said he's not that devoted anymore, if someday before his marriage, he found a new girl who is young and never been married or had a child before, he will surely choose her over the two of you. I suggest that you two should work together to avoid him from looking at another girl since the two of you are already reaching the expiration--"
Mia-san and Himiko-san suddenly grabbed both of my cheek and they have scary look on their face.
"Who are you calling us nearing the expiration date?"
"We are still both 34 years old!"
I never felt fear even in the face of the strongest Demon King, my own father but these two angry woman made my body shivered to my spine and I'm getting goosebumps. They pinched my cheek until they get satisfied.
"Himiko-san."
"Mia-san."
They nodded at each other then joined their hands.
Seems like, they have an agreement and they went upstairs to talk with each other.
"Seir-sama! Are you okay?" Lilith panicked.
"I'm fine. Now, it's up to Akitsuki-sensei if he can keep both of them with him."
"I think they will be fine since Mia-sama and Himiko-san used to be best friends when they were young. Himiko-san was the one who told me that."
"Then that's good."
I continued reading the books.
