"So as to not bring shame to their family my father's family decided to accept my mother into the family yet they treated her as nothing more than a mistress..."
" When I was born things only got worse, Because I was a bastard child and a daughter at that, Though I was the first born, My mother's burden only got worse....., On my 12th birthday she finally couldn't hold on anymore and under my father's family's cruel attacks my mother became bed ridden...."
" She died just a few weeks after my birthday....., I couldn't do anything but stand their as she died right before my very eye's" Megami gnashed her teeth in frustration but Yūrei was quick enough to console her, he patted her back gently and like earlier she felt her negative emotions slowly vanishing.
She was left stunned again but with nothing stopping her she decided to continue on.
" After my mother's death my father was the only one who took care of me within the family but as the next successor the way he once treated me declined day by day, Now that my mom was gone their was no one left for him, I his daughter just served as a painful reminder as to what he had lost..." At this point streams of tears started falling from Megami's cheek's, Just remembering the way her own father started treating her at this point was to much for her.
It looked like the memories were even more painful for her nevertheless she decided to continue.
" You could easily guess what happened next, I was treated badly, Each day of my life felt like hell and the only way I could escape from it was by going to school..." She said while sniffling, her tear stained face matched with her sniffling nose further diminished her once noble appearance.
" With each day being as terrible as the last there was a point where i even thought of commiting suicide but I was fortunate enough to stop thanks to an incident I encountered" She said with a smile.
" And what might this incident be?" Yūrei asked with a curious look, Though he didn't want to admit it, Megami's story had him hooked.
He felt like he had to know what happened next.
" That's a secret for another day.." Megami replied it looked like she wasn't willing to delve into this story for today, She quickly used her hand to clean up her face so as to appear more presentable, Yūrei just sat silently by her side, he decided he might as well give her some time to calm down a bit.
" First we have to find a way out of this accursed manor don't you think?" Megami suddenly said after she was done wiping away her tears.
" Fine...I guess your right, but you'll tell me afterwards right?" Yūrei sighed before asking with a pleading gaze, he still hadn't given up on hearing that story.
Megami felt like his current demeanor was no different than an adorable puppy, she covered her mouth with her right hand while giggling mischievously.
" That would depend on whether your able to get me out of here or not" She held his checks with both hands while standing on her toes before giving him a light kiss on the forehead.
" And that's for listening to me" She teased, her lips arched into a light smile.
' Did she just‽'
Yūrei was caught off guard, his face turned a light shade of red though he didn't let it show much on his face, inside he was left stunned, never before would he have expected the once cold and distant ice queen to do such a thing.
Yūrei knew that thinking about it too much would only make him even more confused so he decided against it.
He tried masking his nervousness by yawning casually while stretching.
" That's at least good enough " he replied back.
" Well since where gonna be struck here for awhile, we might as well take a look around, Who knows we might find something useful in this dusty dumb" Yūrei looked around the room before heading to a random space to begin his search.
He thought with a calm expression that the faster they found something helpful, the faster they would be able to leave this strange manor.
" Yes!, Now where talking, I thought we were never gonna do anything fun on this trip " Megami said with excitement, She had been dying to do something interesting since they started this trip, Their earlier search was a complete bore to her which made her far more expectant for this one.
The duo looked around a bit, The more they looked the quicker their clothes were covered with dust and dirtied yet they persisted on, Eventually one of them found something intriguing after a while.
" Hey come take a look at this" Yūrei called out to Megami, He crouched down while his hand retrieved something from underneath the bed.
Megami quickly made her way over, her eye's shinning with excitement and anticipation.
When she finally made her way beside him, She was able to see the thing in Yūrei's hands.
It was somewhat average in size, Moreover It was covered in a lot of dust and cobweb's.
Yūrei took a deep breath before blowing strongly on the object.
_Cough-!_
_Cough-!_
They both started coughing when the dust got all over the place.
" Huh?, it's just a book?" Yūrei frowned when he got a clear view of what was in his hands, Though withered by time, After blowing away the thick cover of dust and cobweb's he was able to make out the book.
" Hey don't get depressed so quickly, look closer " Megami gave a light smile, She jabbed him lightly on his side.
It looked like she may have seen something he didn't.
