145 My Little Sibling Is Not A Vampire!

We sat down around the table as the meat was served. There were also a lot of boiled potatoes, rice, and vegetable salads, alongside all sorts of sauces. My family enjoyed their sauces. In fact, mayonnaise was my favorite to go with freshly boiled potatoes, pouring the creamy sauce over them was always nice, and then eating the potato with the meat… mmm~
However, meat and potatoes were very dry, so I had to accompany it with mother’s delicious Eden Apple juice. She said she made it by boiling the fruit and then cooling down the juice that came out of the fruit while it was being boiled.
There were also the fruit pieces, which she put inside bottles with water with sugar, saving them as snacks for later, or to add into apple pie or even in cake, just like the one we were having today.
There was also the big cake, of course. It was covered in white cream and was decorated with a beautiful crown of colorful fruits over it. Mother had also mixed fruits in between the layers with the white whipped cream.
Everything looked so tasty, so I stuffed myself eating! Using the Metabolism Acceleration spell, I was able to digest food faster, so my stomach was able to store more food, allowing me to continue eating for a while.
At the end, most of the meat was gone. In fact, my parents used similar magical methods to eat a lot of it. Because of that, the delicious wyvern had almost completely disappeared!
As of now, we were all enjoying slices of cake with tea. Though, the night had already come, so we were close to going to sleep.
“Yawn… I think I’m sleepy…” I muttered.
…..
“Well, this has been a long day, so you should really go to bed now, Sylphy,” mother said in response.
“Yeah…” I nodded.
“Let’s go, I’ll bring you to bed,” father said as he stood up from his seat.
After getting in bed, my parents gave me a hug and then left me on bed.
Phew, I’m really tired.
It was definitely a long day…
For now, I just closed my eyes and decided to sleep.
…
While I slept, I woke up within my Soul Scape. Like usual, I come here while I sleep to train my magic, techniques, and also spend time with my familiars.
It was quite obvious, but if I didn’t spend time with my familiars, they’ll grow detached from me and their trust in me would decrease. I don’t know exactly when they spend time with their familiars, but I would guess that my parents also do it when they go to sleep.
“Sylphy, congratulations on your little sibling!” said Furoh as I appeared.
“Ah! Furoh, so you heard about it? I’m also excited to see it!” I said with a smile.
“Yeah! I’ve never had siblings before, so I wonder how it’ll feel…” wondered Furoh.
“I’m sure you’ll be able to meet it when it’s born. After all, you’re also part of the family,” I replied.
“M-Me? But I’m a demon…” he said.
“But you’re my familiar now! Haven’t we spent time together since the contract? That’s more than enough for me to count it,” I told him.
“Haha… you’re too humble sometimes…” He chuckled.
“Foooohhh! Foaaa!”
Naturia flew around me before resting over my head. I think this means she missed me a lot.
“Naturia, will you give your blessings to the little baby?” I asked.
“Foo! Fooo!” repliedNaturia.
I heard that True Spirits were capable of blessing people to give them good fortune, but that would usually be very strong ones. So, I guess Naturia wouldn’t be able to… yet.
However, she seemed very enthusiastic about it, so I guess she really wants to help in that regard. It makes me happy to have such a cute little spirit with me.
“So, you’re having a sibling… but wait, didn’t you see it with your eyes? What gender is it?” Ignatius asked.
“We couldn’t discern it yet, Ignatius. A one-week fetus has yet to develop a gender…” replied Alice, or well, the System, who emerged in her usual form as a sphere of bright white light.
“Oh, I didn’t know that… well, I don’t know if dragons are the same. Never had the chance to just sit and watch an egg,” replied Ignatius.
“They should also be like that… anyways, that baby still had interesting things… the soul it had… it possessed quite dark affinities,” Alice said soon after.
“Oh yeah. I also saw them… what’s up with that? Will your sibling be able to wield Blood Magic? Wait, did your mother have an affair with a Vampire?” Furoh asked with curiosity.
“Vampire? What’s that even? And no, she didn’t have any affair with any Vampire!” I replied.
“Furoh, don’t mess around with things like those. Also, explain what’s a Vampire,” Alice said in response to his words.
“A Vampire is… erm, well, a group of arrogant demons that are partially undead, and are highly proficient in both magic and physical strength… they drink blood and are good at Blood Magic, or something… I think they can’t walk on the day or they get burned by the sunlight,” answered Furoh not long after.
“What? They get burned by sunlight? Well, that sucks,” I sighed.
“It really does suck! But in exchange, they get to be highly prestigious in the Demon Continent. Also, I think they even have influence around humans… they’re really cunning,” he added.
“Huh… well, my mother is very loyal to my father, so I doubt she’ll ever have an affair. People are just born with different affinities. There’s nothing wrong with my sibling’s affinity for Blood. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a Vampire,” I said after his explanation.
“I-I know! Sorry, I was just joking around. I was trying to lighten the mood…” Furoh said, apologizing soon after.
“Well, at least I got to learn about these Vampires or something… I wonder if there are more weird and quirky demon races out there… no offense,” I said to Furoh.
“No problem, we demons are very diverse…” replied Furoh.
And so, we continued chatting through the night after that. In any case, it seemed hat everyone was happy over my new sibling.
