"Kaiser?...is that you?..."
When I opened my eyes, the first thing I saw was a face that was very similar to mine. The man in question kept staring at me before he smiled, causing me to feel relieved and at ease all at the same time.
The man gently stroked my head with his warm hand and asked, "Did you fall asleep again?"
When I looked around, I suddenly recalled that woman had instructed me to sit on this chair moments earlier. Shortly after that, my vision began to blur, and I eventually fell asleep on my own.
*thud
Because only this part of the room was very bright, the surroundings, especially in the corner, were extremely dim, and when the woman walked closer, it seemed as if she had just stepped out of the darkness into the light.
"how, does she look more adorable?"
"I think so, but I'm more curious about the progress," replied the man, and the sight of the two of them chatting intimately made me feel happy, especially when they talked about me specifically.
"Mom, can you tell me what Kaiser is doing over here?"
Yes, I referred to that woman as my mother after spending much time with her and discovering many new things about myself. In addition, Kaiser also referred to that woman as his mother.
Kaiser answered my question directly when he suddenly became serious: "I already knew from mother that you got stronger, so I want to give you a gift."
Actually, the presence of this man in my life is quite strange. This is because ever since the first time I met him, I have had the impression that we already have a solid connection, which allows me to feel comfortable in his presence. I even ask her if I can go out and meet him, but she always says no until I am older and gets stronger.
"Gift? Does that mean I'm allowed to go outside and play?
Ever since the first time I woke up, I've always been in this room, accompanied by that woman, and even though I initially felt a little bored, his presence made me even more curious about all the things he had taught me about the outside world.
"Come, prepare yourself because the outside world is full of interesting things."
"Hey, Kaiser! Keep in mind that she has a lot more to learn, so avoid doing anything that could put her in harm's way.
I was holding hands beside him as we started to walk away from the room. I was scared when we walked down the dark corridor, especially with strange big tubes filled with scary things lined up along the way.
But what I found behind this darkness was another room that I hadn't expected to find, and I now believe that my mother was telling the truth when she said that I had been living in the basement of her house all this time.
"Are you hungry? I'll go get something to eat for you."
Although I wasn't hungry, I found myself spontaneously nodding my head, and Kaiser took me into the kitchen before taking something out of the refrigerator. It looked like he had some bread and jam in his hand, but I couldn't tell if it was edible.
I don't know if I did it right, but Kaiser just kept looking at me amusedly while I chewed on the food he had given me. We decided to sit at the dining table for a while because the atmosphere in this house is peaceful, which makes me feel slightly relieved.

"As I've already said, this is the forest that surrounds our house. what do you think of it?" that's what he said when we walked on the lush grass and the sea of shady trees.
"Where's everyone else? I heard, the outside world is very crowded," I asked, and got a gentle pat on the head in response. Kaiser then said:
"I'll take you to a place where there are more people, but before that I want to ask you to help me with something."
I was not in a hurry to ask what he wanted from me because my attention was diverted by the lovely flowers I encountered along the way, and especially as we walked further away from where we had started, I also saw some animals I had never seen before.
I continued walking to follow in his footsteps, and despite the treacherous terrain of the forest that we had to travel through, we eventually arrived at a cave with a door at the entrance. The room inside the cave reminded me of our mother's room.
"I'll be right back, and in the meantime, you wait here."
I just nodded and waited there like he said, but not long after he left, I met someone quite interesting because, besides her peculiar appearance, what she said made me wonder about things I had never considered before.
"Are you Kaiser's little sister?... I just heard him, right? Did you come with him?"
Without pausing to think about it, I immediately nodded and replied, "Yeah, and who are you? Your look is quite different."
The woman descended the stairs while flapping the transparent wings attached to her back, and then she stood directly in front of me. From her furrowed brows, it seems she doesn't like what I just said, but we both keep staring at each other.
While taking a deep breath, the woman then said, "my name is Mosquito Girl, you can say that me and Kaiser are very close, and yes I know what's on your mind, I'm not human."
After hearing that, I had doubt in my mind because I didn't know if I was a human myself, but I didn't have much time to think about it because Kaiser coming back soon.
"Hey, I didn't know you had younger sister... your faces look very similar to one another too."
Kaiser simply smiled at me and nodded in agreement, but then, acting as if he was in a rush, he again took me to accompany him somewhere, and I went along with him gladly. Meanwhile, Mosquito Girl looked confused by what had just happened, but as soon as she heard what Kaiser said next, she became excited.
"If you'd like, you can come along with us."
