The Cursed Bloodline
Small Family

Mirai promises to take Yuhee out to enjoy the atmosphere of Sora Village. With great effort, as well as the assurance of listening to Hanna's nagging throughout the day, Mirai finally gets Permission to take Yuhee out.

"You ready, Yuhee? " Mirai approached Yuhee, with a gentle smile she welcomed the child's arrival.

" Yes, Brother Mirai. "

Mirai clasps Yuhee's hand, taking her out of the magnificent building of Sora Hospital. However, not yet they went far, someone greeted from behind.

"Yes! Mirai" a familiar voice greeting, Aora had apparently been waiting for Mirai in front of the hospital gate for a long time. Aora's gaze was fixed on Yuhee, she was a little surprised to see that the child had recovered so quickly

"Eh? Aren't you the little girl from Fuu village? " ask Aora while looking at Yuhee

" Mirai, who is this? " whispered Yuhee, looking suspiciously at her, she turned towards Aora. The gray-haired man looked confused. He turned his head in a direction, looking for someone called 'om' by the little girl in front of him. There was no one else but her, it meant that she was the one Yuhee called out to

" oops? " ask Aora while pointing at her disbelief.

Both Mirai and Yuhee had the exact same nature. With their cold and cuckold nature, people who do not know them must think they are cold-hearted. In reality they simply cannot socialize properly due to their past. Aora could only resign herself, facing the two girls in front of her.

"My name is Aora, little girl...... Not om..om"

......................

Aora decides to follow Mirai and Yuhee out, they pass through a small park on the edge of the Village. Many children of Yuhee's age were playing. Yuhee just looked at it from afar while paying attention to what the children were doing

"You don't want to play? " ask Aora

There was no reply from Yuhee, she only showed a face with a sad look.

Mirai understood what Yuhee was feeling, she then patted Yuhee's shoulder slowly. Feeling that things had turned grim, Aora started to do something.

" Oi! You're..... Aren't the students of Sora's academy? " cried Aora calling the children. The children knew Aora well, they immediately ran up to the man

" Aren't they Captain Aora? " say one of the children.

" What is the captain doing here? Do you want to show your skills and tactics again? " said an enthusiastic little girl

" No-no it's not that, I want you guys to play with Yuhee. She's so shy, would you ask her to play, if it's not your fault Suny's name? "say Aora to the girl.

" Heem.... Sure Captain..... Your name is Yuhee, right? I'm suny..... Will you come with us? " Suny said as she reached out to Yuhee.

Yuhee looked at Mirai, Mirai nodded and replied with a big smile Yuhee.

Yuhee started mingling with children her age, she started playing, laughing and having fun like a child her age. Mirai and Aora only watched from afar, while sitting on a chair on the edge of the Garden. Seeing the fun of the children playing, would be a consolation for Aora and Mirai

Mirai showed a smile on her face when she saw Yuhee. While Aora's eyes won't be separated from Mirai's smiling face

"You smile, Mirai." said Aora slowly, to her seeing Mirai's smile was much harder than upsetting the girl. This is a rare thing for Aora

" really? " said Mirai

" You know Aora, for Yuhee playing with friends her age might be the most memorable thing for her" Mirai said. Aora just chuckled, looking at Mirai's soft side.

"You look like happy mothers watching their children grow up with smiles" Aora joked

"really? Then..... Good, I'm so glad to hear it"

For the first time Mirai receives Aora's joke, making Aora feel the happiness on Mirai's face

Time goes on, the day starts late. The parents started picking up their children who were playing in the park. One by one the children left the park, leaving only Yuhee and Suny alone

"Oh! That's mommy! Yuhee likes to play with you, sometime let's play again, okay! I'll go first! " Suny says goodbye to Yuhee, she pins her head straight away and runs towards her mother.

Yuhee who had just put on a cheerful face full of smiles, now began to be sad. His smile disappeared as his new friend went. Without her noticing, Mirai called out her name while waving her hand towards Yuhee

"Yuhee! Let's Go Home" Mirai said from Away

Yuhee turned to face Mirai, her sad face now back in her smile. Finally, there was someone waving at him, Yuhee seemed to feel how to live with someone who was willing to pick him up for the first time. Something simple, but as Yuhee expected

"I'm coming, Mirai! " said Yuhee while running small

" Hm, hurry up"

Mirai understood, as a child growing up without parents. It also makes him feel jealous of other children who have parents and get their love. Things that Mirai or Yuhee felt all this time.

Mirai embraces Yuhee, with their happy smiles going hand in hand. Mirai, Aora and Yuhee, look like a happy little family.

......................

In a Tonkatsu restaurant in the middle of Sora village center. Mirai, Aora and Yuhee are waiting for their food order to be delivered. Aora was busy preparing the cutlery as well as pouring water in every glass on the table. Semenyara Yuhee and Mirai were busy chatting with each other. Now the little girl's gaze was fixed on the man she thought was strange.

"Uncle what is your job? " ask Yuhee.

" Stop calling me uncle, I'm not that old! I'm the captain of the Sora Village Military"

"really? Judging from your appearance, it is quite dubious! And why are you wearing a mask? Is your face ugly? " said Yuhee to the point of her innocent face

" Yuhee, you don't have to throw away your efforts asking Aora about it, I don't know what's hidden, I think Aora's face is ugly" Mirai said, chuckling. A suspicious look he looked towards Aora

Aora could only sigh, it was enough that she faced Mirai's attitude, now it only increased with Yuhee's attitude of 11 12.

"I told you being Mysterious was my attraction. And for the two of you, if I show my face, you will accept the consequences, especially you Mirai! " said Aora with a look of Horror.

"Who's curious too" Mirai said with a pang

"The gray-haired uncle started to get angry," led Yuhee, hearing that Aora did not accept and started a small debate between Yuhee and Aora

"What'd you say?! This hair of mine has been a gift from heaven since I was born, you know! "Aora is getting upset

"You people!! Stopit! " Mirai kicked down the table, he was already within the limits of patiently hearing the insignificant quarrel of the two people in front of him

Silent. Even all the attention of the customers was on those three very noisy people. Yuhee started to duck, she could no longer stem her tears

" K-Why Yuhee? I know you're shocked at Mirai's violence. But you don't have to worry, she's a good person" Aora said, starting to panic at the look on Yuhee's face that suddenly turned sad

"Yuhee why are you? " said Mirai. Yuhee shook her head and began to express her current feelings.

" Thank you Aora and Mirai, today for the first time I feel like playing with my friend.

For the first time too, someone who can comfort me and worry about my condition. As well as the first time someone wanted to eat with me, I was so grateful to meet you both" Yuhee said sobbing, she could no longer hide her happy feelings

"It's Yuhee, you don't have to thank me anymore. I told you, I'll be an adult for you" Mirai said as she patted Yuhee gently on the shoulder "You'll never be alone again"

Mirai then holds Yuhee's hand, Mirai is seen looking at Yuhee's palm. He looked surprised, the girl in front of him turned out to be a descendant of Military magic controller

"Oh! You're also Yuhee's military man? You have the Gyoku Seal in your hand " Mirai said in shock. Yuhee started to stop crying, she then looked at her own palm

" Oh This! this seal sometimes appears in my hands, which I know, my mother was a Military man from Hoshi Country. Because of a war, he was wounded and found by my father who was a commoner.

They finally got married and owned me. But the villagers did not accept my mother, because she came from the land of the Enemy. My mother was then returned to Hoshi while my father was suffering from an illness and died after my mother's death" Yuhee told her story, holding her palm. He realized that this was the only legacy his mother had on him

"Therefore I only lived with my nene, and the people of the village hated me and excommunicated us. Maybe because I inherited the blood of the enemy who destroyed our village" Yuhee ririh said

Aora, who heard Yuhee's story, felt a bit of pity on the child, "I'm sorry for us, it must remind you of your parents"

"It's okay. I feel relieved to tell my story to good people like you, as much as I don't feel alone in this world" Yuhee finally smiled back. Mirai stroked Yuhee's head, Aora asked a question.

"Can you use your gyokumu? "

" no. I've never used magic before"

"It seems that the gyokunya seal started to activate due to your kenkou in the last operation" Aora told Mirai. There is indeed a case of a gyoku seal not being able to just activate on someone. Maybe because their magic power was blocked or also they came from mixed descendants. Just like Yuhee's case, with Mirai's magic as a trigger he could awaken the magic in his body. It was marked by the appearance of a black diamond-shaped symbol on his hand. That's good news for Mirai

"You're right, maybe he can become my student one day" Mirai smiled

"I may not be able to give her parental affection, because I never felt it either.

But, I can be Yuhee's friend and teacher, because I learned what your friend Aora means" Mirai said as she stared at Aora

Their order finally came, with Aora swiftly preparing dishes for Yuhee and Mirai. Even the maid there called Aora a sweet young papa for her little family.

Aora and Mirai: do we look old to have a 10-year-old?

Aora, Mirai and Yuhee seemed to be enjoying the journey today.

The night is getting late, Aora walks along with Mirai while Yuhee is asleep in Aora's sling. They look happy with each other. It looks like a warm little family.
