It’s been a week since I started living with Amelia, not my mother.

As usual, I couldn’t wake up comfortably this morning feeling Amelia’s warmth in her embrace… because it wasn’t there.

Although I couldn’t feel Amelia’s warmth and my eyes hadn’t opened yet, I began to grope around and found neatly folded pajamas nearby.

“Today is the day to go to the main house.”

There was an unavoidable day when Amelia had to go to the main house. After all, the ingredients had to be brought from there.

Lily didn’t mind going to the main house as long as Amelia was there, but Amelia strongly opposed it.

In the end, Lily and Amelia reached an agreement. If there was a need to go to the main house, Lily would quickly go and return before Amelia woke up. But would that go as planned?

So they agreed that while Amelia slept, Lily would leave the pajamas she was wearing next to her.

“Are you okay with that, Amelia?” Lily asked, but it seemed more effective than expected.

Even though her body felt cold and her fingers were itching just because Amelia wasn’t there, the pajamas that still carried Amelia’s warmth and the scent of her sleep worked wonders.

Closing my eyes and covering myself with Amelia’s pajamas gave me the feeling as if Amelia was right beside me, and my body felt rejuvenated as if nothing was wrong.

“I should make a perfume with Amelia’s scent when I awaken my mana.”

Of course, it wouldn’t be a perfect replacement, nor could it perfectly capture Amelia’s scent, but it might temporarily alleviate the symptoms.

Amelia’s scent is not something that can be simply described as a smell.

I think it’s a combination of her appearance, personality, and warm heart that creates her unique scent, her essence.

Lost in these strange thoughts, Amelia arrived without me realizing.

-Kkiik.

The sound coming from the old door.

Lily, who was covering herself with Amelia’s pajamas, got up from bed, took the pajamas, and hurried downstairs at a speed unimaginable for an 8-year-old.

If Amelia saw her, she would surely scold, “You shouldn’t run, Lily!” But right now, Lily only had one thought – to meet Amelia as soon as possible.

While temporarily concealing herself with Amelia’s pajamas, Lily knew that ultimately, she needed Amelia.

Lily also knew that while her body had returned to health more than ever before, her mind had not.

Having forcibly sustained her deteriorating mind with drugs and various medications, Lily believed it was beyond repair.

But just being by Amelia’s side made everything disappear. As if nothing had happened.

Come to think of it, wasn’t this problem also caused by Amelia?

So, Amelia should take responsibility.

Leaving behind her own life and taking on the blame.

As Lily turned the corner of the stairs, she saw Amelia and joyfully shouted, “Amelia!”

“Lily? You’re not running again, are you?”

Amelia’s concern became a reality. Lily ran and jumped towards Amelia, even though there were still stairs left.

Lily floated in the air.

Amelia quickly dropped the ingredients she was holding in her hands and caught Lily, thanks to her large chest that once again served as a cushion today.

“Lily, you could get hurt like this.”

“It’s… fine. I’m not hurt.”

“Have you washed your face?”

“No. Amelia will do it.”

Lily never washes her face first after waking up. The reason is simple. If she washes her face, the scent of Amelia that she soaked up while sleeping will disappear completely.

Last time, even though she washed her face when she had her pajamas, it felt uncomfortable as if Amelia was disappearing.

So, she always went to wash her face with Amelia after she arrived.

After washing their faces together, it was time for breakfast.

Amelia, who was cooking diligently, sets the table so Lily can have breakfast.

Today is the day to eat meatballs that come once a week. Lily wants to eat them every day, but Amelia rejected the idea, emphasizing the importance of a balanced diet during Lily’s childhood.

After finishing cooking the meatballs and setting everything up, they started eating breakfast.

As usual, Amelia skillfully cuts the hot meatballs for easy consumption. Then she blows on them gently to cool them down.

She brings a piece of the cut meatball to her own lips.

Amelia’s mature and beautiful lips press against the meatball.

Somehow, the warmth and moisture of those lips seem to be felt by Lily as well.

Who uses their own lips to check the temperature of the food?

Lately, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to resist how unconsciously seductive she is.

“If I were that meatball…”

Amelia offers Lily a meatball, checking if it’s too hot. Lily takes the delicious meatball from Amelia and savors it.

While eating Amelia’s special meatballs, Lily gazes at Amelia.

Amelia, more alluring and beautiful than the girl once known as a saint.

Her blonde hair sways down to her waist in sync with Amelia’s gestures.

Is it just the hair moving? No, those huge breasts move along. How does she manage to carry them around like that? The sauce always drips onto her chest when eating meatballs.

Eventually, when Amelia stops feeding her meatballs directly to her lips, Lily expresses through gestures that she doesn’t want to eat anymore.

“It seems hot.”

“It’s cooled down now.”

-Swipe

Although Amelia tries to reassure Lily not to worry and trust herself, Lily refuses with a gesture.

“See? It’s not hot at all.”

In the end, Amelia feeds Lily a meatball again after offering it to her own lips. Only then does Lily enjoy the meatball that touched Amelia’s lips.

After finishing breakfast and washing up, it’s time to relax. When young, they played various games believing that playtime is essential.

They engaged in card games and board games they always played in the past. Since Lily had already played a lot with Amelia in the past, she had become a master at them.

Ultimately, Lily won every game, shocking Amelia, who had never lost to her before.

“I lost to an 8-year-old…?”

Especially when she lost at chess, how sad Amelia was. Ironically, she would suddenly exclaim, “Our child is a genius!” and show affection.

When lunchtime arrived, they made lunch and went to play in the forest behind the annex.

Health is important! They always packed lunch and went for a walk in the forest, observing various plants and small animals together, which made Lily very happy.

After spending about two hours in the forest, they returned home for a one-hour nap.

Amelia would say, “Children need plenty of sleep,” and try to put Lily to bed together, but she always fell asleep first.

This was the time Lily looked forward to the most.

She didn’t want to disturb Amelia when she fell asleep at night; she needed her rest.

But what harm could a little disturbance during nap time do? With that thought in mind, Lily got up from the bed and climbed onto Amelia’s sleeping body.

She explored Amelia’s body, gradually satisfying her desires.

After nap time, they lightly studied. Amelia patiently explained things, being kind to ensure Lily didn’t develop aversion to studying even if she forgot everything.

In reality, this was the most boring time for Lily. When you think about it, Lily now knows more than Amelia does.

However, Lily was just listening as Amelia passionately and diligently explained, finding her admirable.

But Amelia was very quick to notice this kind of thing.

“Lily, are you not having fun?”

“Oh, no. It’s just difficult, that’s all.”

“You promised me not to lie. Please don’t lie to me. If you lie to me, then Lily shouldn’t lie to me either.”

…”

She was right.

As Lily looked at Amelia’s disappointed face, just seeing it made her heart ache.

So she quickly racked her brain.

How should she explain this? If it had any connection to the past, Amelia would undoubtedly suffer, so she needed a suitable excuse…

An excuse…

In the end, it was a lie.

She had asked Amelia not to lie to her, yet here she was, living a life full of lies to Amelia.

Of course, she knew it was inevitable. But lying to the person she liked and loved the most was incredibly painful.

However, right now, she had to lie.

Mana awakening. If she only awakened her mana, she would quickly reach her original state.

Faster than before. Stronger. That’s how she would break free from this wretched constraint.

She would lay everything bare to Amelia. She wouldn’t lie to Amelia.

With that determination, I spoke to Amelia, filled with falsehoods.
