CHAPTER 328: TWO SISTERS

"Mama Pandora, can I have this?" I ask as Mama Pandora carries me to where little sister Eclipsya is.

"Of course, dear, this is the ice cream I said I would serve you," she says with a smile as I see Mama Grimm accompanying us with a smile.

Mama Pandora crouches down while I take a bowl from the table with this thing called ice cream.

"It’s cold!" I feel how cold it is as I hold the bowl, quickly grabbing a spoon to try it while Mama Pandora starts walking again.

"Hmm, it’s good, it’s sweet!" I say excitedly as I try the flavor, it melts in my mouth so I don’t need to bite, I quickly shovel spoonfuls into my mouth and swallow, savoring the taste of each spoonful.

"Yes, dear, it’s good, just eat slowly or your brain will freeze," when she says that I freeze, looking at the ice cream in astonishment.

"I-Is it going to kill me?" I ask while Mama Pandora looks at me incredulously and sighs.

"Grimm, Azazel needs a tutor urgently to learn about the world, she’s smart enough to start studying...Azazel, you can eat peacefully, the ice cream won’t try to kill you, it just hurts your head if you eat it too fast," she says reassuring me while I continue eating.

Soon we’re near Eclipsya and I see her sucking on something, I don’t know what it is, it just catches my interest.

"What’s that!" I say pointing with doubt.

"It’s...hard to explain, it’s a baby toy...but your sister is using it the wrong way...well, she’s still young so she doesn’t understand, so in the future, Azazel, you’ll need to teach your little sisters what not to do since you’re the oldest," Mama Pandora says with a smile.

"Yes! I’ll get really smart and teach a bunch of things!" I agree as I hand the ice cream bowl back to Mama Pandora, she puts me on the floor and takes the bowl while I go to Eclipsya.

"Mamas, can I take my little sister to play? I’ll take servants!" I say as I extend my hands to the white-haired woman who is Eclypsia’s mother.

"Sure, but don’t go too far, while that happens I’ll talk to Grimm," Mama Pandora says as they hand Eclipsya to me, I try to hold her, but she’s bigger than me so she covers my vision.

"Hmm..."

"Daughter, how did you do that?" Mama Grimm asks when she sees I’ve created platforms to be a little taller than Eclipsya so I can carry her without problems.

"It’s blood! Hehehe I learned on my own," I say proudly while Mama Pandora looks interested.

"It’s a great ability, daughter, it’s with it that you got here, isn’t it?"

"Yes! I control blood!" I agree with her with a big smile as I take Eclipsya to a table with me, I see 7 servants following us, it seems Mama Pandora sent them to keep an eye on us.

Meanwhile, I put Eclipsya in a chair and look at her with interest, she’s very cute.

"Look, I have a toy the pretty lady gave me," I say, taking a red ball from my pocket, it’s good to squeeze and has a delicious taste.

"..." Eclipsya holds the ball I give her and starts squeezing it.

"Did you like it?" I ask as she looks at me, she doesn’t seem very interested in me.

"I-I have other toys...but Mama Pandora took my knives...I have this now," I take a colorful stick that changes color, it’s the last thing I have besides some blood vials I kept for myself.

This seems to catch Eclipsya’s attention, and she reaches out her little hands as I hand the colorful stick to her.

"Gahh," She shakes the stick, making the first sound since I met her a few hours ago, she seems to have liked the colorful stick.

Crack

"..." The stick breaks when she squeezes it while shaking it, she looks at me with tears in her eyes.

"D-Don’t cry, I have...I have..." I look around, I only have my blood vials and they’re not for her, they’re to give to Mama Pandora and Mama Grimm if they fight.

"S-Servant, come here!" I yell, and the servant quickly comes.

"What do you need, Azazel-sama?"

"I want to go to Mama Pandoru’s room! With my little sister!" I say urgently as I see Eclipsya’s tears, I think if we go to mom’s room, she’ll be happy.

"..." The servant looks at Mama Pandora, who just gives a small nod while starting a conversation with Grimm, they seem to be talking about something more serious, and I hear words like pension and signed papers.

’It seems Mama Pandora and Mama Grimm are talking about the special present I’ll be getting every month,’ That’s good, but I don’t have time now to think about it or find it cool.

I quickly follow the servant to Mama Pandora’s room, I see the pink-haired girl is coming too.

’If I remember correctly...it’s Zephyra?...’ I can’t say that name, as we move forward, Zephyra approaches me, and I decide to talk to her.

"Zep...hy..ra...can we stay in Mama Pandoru’s room?" I ask, trying to pronounce her name, it’s as difficult as the name of my mom, but hers seems even more difficult.

"Of course, Pandora just told me to come along because there are dangerous things for children in the drawers, and Pandora said she’ll come play with you two soon, it’s just that she’s talking to your Mama Grimm about the pension."

"They’re both reaching an agreement that you’ll like," Zephyra says as we arrive at a door where the servant stops, holding Eclipsya.

"You can go, I’ll take care of the two of them until Pandora gets here," Zephyra says, taking Eclipsya in her arms.

"Zep..hy..ra, why doesn’t the mommy of the little sister come?" I ask with doubt.

"Tsukuyomi doesn’t come to take care of Eclipsya because she’s tired, she went through a birth...I mean, she had Eclipsya a few hours ago and reached her limit, so Pandora told her to go sleep in her room," Zephyra says with a smile as she opens the door.

"This is also my room, so there’s no problem with you asking me questions," Zephyra says as we enter the room, I feel the scent of Mama Pandora, along with the scent of blood and Zephyra’s scent.

Zephyra puts Eclipsya on the bed while grabbing a chair to sit and observe.

"You can play together, Pandora said she’ll bring toys when she comes here to play with all of us," Zephyra says while carefully observing our interaction, Eclipsya still has tears on her face.

"Can I touch that drawer?" I ask Zephyra.

"Not that one, but you can touch the ones on the bottom, but all that’s in them are clothes, there aren’t any toys here yet, there are toys, but they’re in other rooms because we weren’t really prepared for two children," Zephyra says.

"..." I think about what to do, Eclipsya doesn’t stop crying, though she doesn’t make a sound, she lost the little interest she had in me.

"C-Could you go get a colorful stick?" I say uncertainly, this girl belongs to mom, I feel she has a strong scent of mom, so I can’t just mess with her.

"Of course, you don’t have to be so restrained, Azazel," She says with a chuckle.

"It’s just that...you have a strong scent of mom...so you belong to mom."

"..." Zephyra seems uncertain of what to say.

"Well, you’re right, I belong to Pandora, do you want a sweet stick?"

"Sweet stick?"

"It’s a candy, but it’s in the shape of a colorful stick, it’s not a toy, but it’s edible and they have it in the kitchen," She says as I think.

"I want two! The little sister likes the colorful stick!" I say quickly, I need to make Eclipsya stop crying and be interested in me.

"I can go get them, but you have to promise not to touch anything and stay on the bed waiting with Eclipsya, a servant will stay outside and if you need anything, you should call her, you understand? Pandora’s shadows are also in the room, so there’s no danger."

"Shadows?" I ask, confused.

"It’s nothing, do you promise to behave?"

"Yes!" I say, climbing onto the bed to sit next to Eclipsya as the platforms that made me taller disappear.

"Great, I’ll be back in a few seconds," Zephyra says, leaving as I hear her footsteps quickly fading away.

I look at Eclipsya, who still seems discouraged, though she has stopped crying, she doesn’t seem interested in me anymore.

"L-Little sister, look, look!" I say, taking a blood vial.

"I can give you one...they’re from mom, but you can have one," I say, showing the vial, but she just stares at it coldly without any interest in me.

’W-What do I do?’ It’s not as easy as I thought, she doesn’t care about me, why doesn’t she care?

’Is it because she’s too young? Does she not understand that I’m her sister?’ I wonder, looking at her as she analyzes the room.

"Little sister..." I hold her face, making her look at me, she focuses her eyes on mine, still without interest.

"I’m your sister! Please look at me!" I say as she tries to turn her head without interest in me.

"..." This is starting to irritate me, why the hell doesn’t she look at me?

"I’M YOUR OLDER SISTER!! LOOK AT ME!" I say angrily, I just want to give her affection, why is she so cold?

Tears fall from my face as I let go of her, and she refuses to show any interest in me, just going back to looking around the room.

"H-Hick, bad little sister," I mumble, crying as I try to wipe the tears with my little hands unsuccessfully.

"P-Please look at me," I murmur tearfully as she finally looks at me and extends her little hands, this brings a huge smile to my face as I grab her hands.

"T-That’s it! We’re sisters, let’s play together!" I say with a huge smile on my face as she finally seems interested in me.

I hug her as she also hugs me, this immediately makes me happy, making me stop crying.
