Yesterday I just ate food with Aquarina and had a nice time with my parents, as well as her parents. I remembered very well that they spoke a lot about my hunt during that time. I'm pretty sure, Aquarina had been left with her mouth and eyes wide open in shock when my father showed her the big corpse I had brought back… I think he exaggerated a little bit there saying a lot of stuff about me, but oh well, it was still fun…
This morning I woke up with Aquarina cuddling beside me, not letting go of me all night… I was supposed to have a separate bed for this to not happen, but she always snuck into my bed in the middle of the night, sleeping by my side.
Then again, I can't help it. My little sister was the most adorable there was, so I was very weak to her… I can't really reprimand her when she's so clingy with me.
However, as I slept at her side, I suddenly felt her aura glow with a bright azure color, moving back and forth like a calm ocean… what's this?
As I became curious, I suddenly saw a faint glow within the depths of her soul through my Heavenly Sight ability. Surprisingly, something within her was slowly growing.
What's this? Was this her innate power? I wonder…
I quickly decided to infuse more of my near-endless mana into my power. Well, at some point it would put stress on my body and soul, but I've become better at being able to stop right where I could handle it properly.
My eyes suddenly flashed with bright light as I was able to see the deepest areas of her soul even better than before.
Her Soul Scape resembled a beautiful ocean with a big island in the middle of it. The island had a tropical jungle and a big lake in the middle, or I guess a beautiful spring would be a better term for it. Well, that's where her Water Spirit, Undine, was swimming around.
However, in the middle of this lake, there was an altar of some sort… covered in seashells and decorated with starfish around it. There were even algae growing around the altar. On top of that, there was a nest made of algae and seashells… atop it, there was a mystical glowing egg.
Indeed, there was a beautiful azure-colored egg in the nest. It was as if it were covered in many azure scales, glowing with a metallic luster. Undine swam around it, looking at the egg with curiosity.
The egg emanated a strong presence, faintly reminding me of Ignatius' egg form.
Who is this egg? Was this a new spirit she recruited without knowing? No… this is… is this Leviathan?
If Ignatius was able to be reborn in an egg after becoming very weak, maybe Leviathan can do the same? Then… that means he hasn't died yet!
Then again… it's strange, this egg doesn't emanate the same aura that Leviathan had, but it's certainly as strong and beautiful as his… is this actually not Leviathan but something like his own egg? Wait, was Leviathan a girl?!
I don't really know, and I wouldn't want to disturb Aquarina's Soul Scape anymore, so I quickly pulled out my vision from her soul. When I opened my eyes again, I saw her awake, looking at me with a sleepy face.
"Good morning," I said.
"Guu mornin'…" she replied while rubbing her face over my chest.
Aquarina's glistening blue eyes were like two beautiful sapphire jewels, bright and colorful to the point it left me speechless when she looked at me directly.
"Uwah, I have such a cute little sister… Aquarina-chan, let's sleep for a few more minutes…" I suggested.
"Hehe, okay…" she said, hugging me tightly. The two of us ended up sleeping for over two more hours… until our parents woke us up.
"Aquarina, did you sneak into Sylph's bed again? What did we talk about before?!"
The roar of Aquarina's mother woke me up. She was a strong and masculine woman sometimes, so she was easily able to scare us off with her voice when she got angry for real.
In an instant, Aquarina jumped out of my bed and went into her own. It seemed that she had been reprimanded by her parents for getting into my bed… I mean, it's not good that she does it all the time, but she's just a kid. I don't know what's so wrong with it.
"We got her a bed specifically so she could sleep on her own… Aquarina, apologize to Sylph. You shouldn't intrude into another person's bed like that," said Shade.
"S-Sorry, Sylphy-chan… Please forgive me…" Aquarina apologized with a light sigh.
"Huh? I-I don't think it's that bad… she's… my sister after all. I think it's not right to reprimand her for that… she can sleep by my side from time to time if she wants to!" I could not help but say.
Surprisingly, my mother and Nepheline sighed after hearing that.
"T-This is why we reprimand her. You're way too lax, Sylphy…" sighed Nepheline.
"If we weren't there, you'll let anyone sleep in your bed," sighed my mother soon after.
"Huh?! I-I wouldn't! Aquarina is special. She takes a big place in my heart, so of course I let her…" I said, trying to defend myself.
"Well, it's not like you don't enjoy cuddling with Sylphy sometimes, Faylen. I've noticed that you also sneak into her bed sometimes…" father could not help but add.
"Huh?! I… T-That's because she's my daughter!" mother replied, slightly blushing.
Ah… so that's why I wake up with mother by my side sometimes… I thought she only sat down near me to wake me up in her lap, but she was actually just sleeping by my side.
Well, that's still fine. She's my mommy after all. Plus, her body is so warm and fluffy, especially her chest. It's very soft, the perfect cushion, in fact!
"A-Anyways, I think we shouldn't continue this discussion any further. Aquarina, we've already told you before. Next time you do this, we'll give you a proper punishment," Shade said, wanting to end the conversation. Not long after, his eyes suddenly grew mildly cold. In fact, it sent shivers down my spine. I guess he could still use his intimidating factor as an assassin while being a father…
"O-Okay…" Aquarina could only acquiesce.
