The Failure Alchemist of the Royal Capital ~My Job Is a Failure So, I’ll Manage My Store Carefreely.~
112. Fall Baptism Meeting ③
The day came when your father decided to have the Knight Commander come to our house.
Today is the Sabbath, and oniisama was called back from the dorm because she had to make important decisions for our family. Of course, I also have my sister.
Oniisama and onee-sama are sympathetic to Lily, saying, "Even so, some parents are terrible."
Dalia Onee-sama, who is still living at home before school, has gotten along with Lily in the past few days and is delighted to show off her "Colorful Handball with Magic Balls".
Everything seems to be an application of parallel activation (parallel thinking), and it seems to be controlling multiple magic balls of different attributes. It seems to be a play that can also be used to practice magic control.
... I don't think I usually play like that. No, I'm sure I can't.
The Knight Commander came to our house as he was doing that and squandering his time until the promised time.
"This time, my stupid brother really bothered me! I'm so sorry!
The captain immediately lowered his head deeply as everyone sat on the sofa. Apparently, Lily's father was the knight of the Knight Commander's brother.
"... uncle, sir?
Lily leaned her neck and asked if she recognized her.
"Oh, yeah. My father said something terrible. I'm sorry I didn't notice you so soon."
That said, the Knight Commander raised his hips from the opposite sofa and reached out to touch Lily's cheeks with one hand on the table, but Lily hugged me next to her and hid her face.
Well, that's a natural response.
With a bitter smile, the Knight Commander lowered his hips.
"Are you okay, Lily?"
Asked Lily, who had hidden his face in my arm, the Knight Commander shook his head because he remembered his father who had abandoned him.
"... that's what my stupid brother did. I thought it was my adopted daughter who is my main house....."
Listening to Lily's disgusting reasons, the Knight Commander looked in trouble.
"But if looking at me and remembering my father is a burden on this child's heart.... And you may think it's your own personal wish, but if you accept this child, you want to give him the best educational environment for his future. That way, only Miss Daisy can think of her as her mentor."
That said, I was a little surprised when the Knight Commander stared at me.
... I'm still a 10-year-old.
Well, if you're the best alchemist in the country right now, it's Daisy's master or Daisy.
Onee-sama said such a thing.
"Oh, wait a minute. I'm still a 10-year-old, right?
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
"Miss Daria is right. And because you protected me, Lily forgives you, Miss Daisy."
"Um, Captain Knight. But if Lily were to become an adopted daughter of the Knight Commander, as an apprentice, she would have trained Daisy in excellent alchemy....."
"... you're gonna tell me to give it back."
Oniisama's words make the Knight Commander look bitter.
"No, I don't want the child as a convenient tool, so give it back, it's terrible."
Mother also looked down on the assumption.
"Mm-hmm. That's what close relatives say."
When your father murmured, he put his chin on his hands and shut up to patrol for a while.
After a while, he raised his face like he had decided to, turned his body around and talked to Lily.
"Hey, Lily, can you listen to me?
My father, who was sitting next to Lily on the other side of me, called out to Lily, who was clinging to me.
"... yes"
Relax your grip on me, raise your face, and face your father.
"Does Lily hate me being your father, her mother, and Daria, Ramses, and Daisy becoming her own brother and sister?
"... eh?
"That's what happens when you're adopted. I'm going to be cut off from my original home...."
Again, I'm trying to make difficult decisions for my children.
While telling Lily, Henry smiled bitterly.
"... I was told by my congratulations, 'Yakutazu', 'Hajisashi' and 'I don't need it'."
Remembering that time, Lily spoke with tears, and the women held their eyes with a handkerchief. I hugged Lily too.
"But Daisy, don't tell me you don't want it, 'Clean Kinjutsushi' made me feel good."
Lily tries hard to convey her thoughts as she squeaks.
"I want to be such a daisy lady. I want to be the kind of person in this house."
I loosened Lily's arms and turned around, gently pushing Lily's back toward her father.
Your father hugged Lily with a big arm.
"... well, let's be a family."
"... Kaguku. But do you mind if I don't...?
"Daisy said that, right? You're not useless. [M] And I want to be Lily and my family. Doesn't Lily like me being your father?
"... no, no, no, no, no, no, no, please.... um, um... oh, sir."
Lily also slightly turned her small, thin arm around her father's back to respond to the gentle hug.
"Everybody, okay?
"" "Of course." "
I no longer had any objections to my family.
"Lily, welcome. Please come to your mother."
Your mother opens her arms. Then your father released Lily, and Lily moved to where her mother was sitting and put her in her arms.
"... oh, dear?
"Yes, Lily. All our girls are named after flowers. Lily is Lily. It seemed like you were destined to be my child."
That's how I hug and cheek. Lily turned her arm around her mother's back and smiled.
And watching it, the Knight Commander lowered his head deep and deep.
As my country's system, there is no family register managed by the country. The family register of nobles is determined by the family tree of each house. Therefore, there may be trouble such as removing them voluntarily or returning them after they have gone for adoption.
Therefore, in order to avert the grief of patronage, when making a memorial about making Lily the adoptive daughter of the Presullian family, your father, the captain of the Knights, and the brother of the captain of the Knights signed the consent, and the King also signed it as a precaution. The Knight Commander tried to give money to his father in the name of alimony, but he refused.
I contacted the sister of the church involved in this incident, and she was relieved and very pleased to hear the end of the incident.
So Lily became Lily von Presleria and my sister.
But the place of her life, which is still young, is basically the House of the Vicomte de Presleria. As a nobleman who is still familiar with his family, reading and writing calculations, etiquette, and behavior of staying at home, and in order to ensure that he learned the necessary knowledge to become an alchemist, he was taught and studied as a tutor. Yeah, that's right. You should let onee-sama, who is still at home, teach you how to control magic. I have to tell her.
And the maid seems to have Kate with her.
The female floor is buried on the residence floor of my atelier. Lily and Kate decided to build more floors while Lily was at home, just as they would if they moved in. Since she is my sister, I will make her the same size as my room.
