Yurification Systems
Chapter 4 - Small Requests

“One more time, Please!” mio said, threatening our family doctor with a kitchen knife.

After that terrible incident, Mio slightly got out of control after seeing me standing in the middle of the pile of black wolf corpses and dragged our family Doctor out of her study to my room.

Yes, for the second time I received treatment from this Doctor.

Yulia, a female doctor who was given the task of overseeing the health condition of Marquess Rommel.

“Mio, calm down. I'm fine” I said to calm Mio from her panic.

“T-But.. but.. but...!!” Mio was still drowning in her anxiety.

How can I calm a panicked woman like this? it's not usually Mio like this.

Is this because he likes me too much?

I slightly shook my head because of Mio's behavior.

“Lily-sama!”

“Lily-sama!!”

Mio and Yulia shouted at the same time.

“Although Lily-sama's body looks healthy, but don't move it like that!” yulia said to commemorate me.

“It's okay, I didn't even get hurt at all” I even got off my bed and did a small gesture to show myself okay.

“Lily-sama!!” this time Mio hugged me and held my body back to the bed.

“Rest on the mattress until healed!” said Mio.

But.. how can I be healed if my body is not injured?

“Today full break until dinner!” continued Mio.

I can only accept his actions. Who would have thought he would be this strong when I got hurt. This is the first time I've seen this side of Mio.

It seems, he still has another side that I haven't found yet.

Unknowingly, I smiled and received Mio's order to rest in bed until dinner.

“Then, I will prepare the medicine for Lily-sama” Yulia to stand up and rush out of my room.

Now, it's just me and Mio. His sad and worried expression fused. Mio stroked my hair to give it a sense of security.

Mio.. How worried are you?

Unknowingly, my hand also stroked her hair.

“L-Lily-sama..” Mio suddenly cried.

An uncomfortable feeling appeared on my chest. It's so tight and it hurts. There's no way I got an internal wound, right? Even the physical injuries against the black wolf were healing quickly.

So. What pain is this?

Now, Mio stopped stroking my hair and started hugging me tightly. This hug feels very comfortable and soothing. To make the pain in my chest slowly disappear.

Uh, what disease is this?

“Lily-sama.. Uuu.” Mio held back her crying.

“I guess, Lily-sama will leave me. Just like the Marchioness before.”

I felt some water drenching my neck.

This was no ordinary water.This was a tear released by Mio.

What the hell did I just do?

I dared myself to stroke her hair, now the tears turned into small unstoppable sobs.

Mio without hesitation cried while hugging me tightly.

Just because of this kind of problem she was crying?

But it seems I was wrong too.

“Mio. sorry if I made you cry.”

Mio held back her sobs when she heard my words.

“T-No.. I-It's not Lily-sama's fault, it's my fault for letting Lily-sama experience such a bad incident.”

“Bad events?” I said accidentally.

“Now Lily-sama must be afraid to leave the room right?” reply Mio.

“I will be responsible for taking care of Lily-sama's needs to stay inside the room!” continued Mio excitedly.

Why is he so excited about this?

Why do I have to stay in my room?

“Etto.. Mio.. actually.. I want to ask for your help.”.

“Whatever it is! I'll try to make it happen!”

Hearing my request, Mio froze. His pupils suddenly tensed up and his facial expression was blank.

“Anu.. Mio?” I tried to wake Mio up to regain consciousness.

“L-Li-Lily-sama.. Lily-sama asked what was that?” said Mio stammered.

“Learning sword arts?” answer me.

“Hiks.. Marchioness.. Lily-sama has thrown away her life expectancy. I'm sorry.” replied Mio with a voice filled with sobs.

“Etto.. Mio?”

“Lily-sama.. survive!”

I don't know what's going on. It seems like this problem is going quite complicated.

All day long, my only activity was to stay in bed and wait for dinner. Mio was with me all day to make sure I had enough rest.

Great dedication, but I'm not hurt!

Ever since my desire to learn the art of swordsmanship and this little incident, Mio was a little sensitive and made enough physical contact to make me troubled.

Sometimes he hugged me, kissed my hair, sniffed my clothes.

I don't mind all that as long as Mio is happy, it's just that..

His attitude made him like wearing a mask, that is, a mask that was released when there were only two of us and a mask that was used when he was on duty as a Maid.

Throughout this day, I had to endure my embarrassment when Mio did such activities.

As dinner was about to arrive, a Maid knocked on my door. Mio who hugged me all day wore her mask and acted like a normal Maid.

“Lily-sama, Marquess Rommel awaits the presence of Lily-sama.”

“Why?” that's the only word that says. It's not usual for that person to invite me to dinner together after having a new family.

“...”

The maid did not answer my question.

Whatever it was, I could only sense that a problem was about to arise.

If you reject it. Other problems will increase. I ventured to fulfill that person's invitation.

Even though my body was very reluctant to fulfill his invitation.

Preparation for my dinner was a little late, it was because I had to make sure my heart condition was not hurt when I saw the harmony of the new family before my eyes.

About 3 seconds I was standing at the entrance of the dining room.

When I opened the door, my step-sister and step-mother were enjoying dinner.

And the person called Dad was staring intently at me.

“Looks like you're okay” said the man in a cold tone.

“I heard..You were attacked by a black wolf? But it turns out that it wasn't hurt in the least? It was very interesting -” the guy started to talk.

That person started asking nonstop, this is the first time he has spoken to me.

But, all I heard was a cold tone and a stupid question that made me daydream.

“Hei! Are you listening to me?” ask the guy.

The question managed to wake me up from the little daydream in my head.

Waitaminute!

Heye?

Did he forget the name of his own son?

Actually, am I his son or not?

“Sorry, I didn't hear what Marquess Rommel asked but. I'm glad it happened or. sorry if it doesn't go your way.”

Hearing the answer coming out of my mouth, he fell silent and walked towards me.

“What do you want?” he asked me.

“Eh?” i'm amazed.

“As I said, it's my fault for not regulating the wild animal population in that forest. So.. is there anything you want right to make amends for this stupid dad?”

“...”

“You can ask for anything, clothing, jewelry, toys, or other objects.”

“Carely?” tell me to make sure.

“Of course! Say what you want.”

“I want a sword!” reply without a doubt.

“Eh? What?” hearing my request, Marquess Rommel was shocked.
