Chapter 7 - New Family

After the "revelation" I pulled myself away from the family. I understand that they wanted the best, even if I were in their place, I probably did the same, but Kisaragi Akira who lives in me says that this is inhuman, this is not normal, people and family should not do this.

I became a full-fledged hunter, so I could go hunting on my own, which was usually forbidden, unless you were accompanied by an adult.

Time passed measuredly, the mother's stomach swelled so that she could not move normally and remained in the tent all the time. After what happened to my brother, she did not want to have children anymore for fear that the event might repeat itself, but seeing how I was growing, apparently made her more calm and confident. As a result, she was pregnant, the old wound healed, leaving a trace that will remain with me, mother and father.

Father also said that we shared "that meat" with the Bruno family, as a result of which Emdeath went through a hunger period. I thought that I would distance myself from Aki and Emdeath, but they did not allow me to do this, sticking like a burdock.

Winter came. Because of the story I heard, I was stressed all the time. I hunted both day and night in order to prevent "those events" from happening again. The day the first snow fell, I became the happy older brother of two sisters, Mahiru and Lilim. Two twin girls.

While my mother was recovering from childbirth, and my father was lost on the hunt, I took care of these babies. Even when my mother was strong enough, I still stayed close, so I slowly began to reunite with my family, at some point I apologized to my father and mother for my behavior. As people, they may have done the wrong thing, but as parents, I think they did the right thing. Therefore, as people, I cannot treat them well, but they are my parents, they went through pain and horror to save me, themselves and later give life to my sisters, not to mention the fact that Emdeath could also die.

Emdeath and Aki began to visit our tent much more often. Was I paranoid or did they want to get closer to me through my sisters?

At ten years old, the question about the wedding was more and more often heard, my mother, at the first mention, immediately looked at me suspiciously, to which I was able to answer by raising my hands in a surrendering gesture.

"And who is the initiator?" Mom asked suspiciously.

Aki looked at me, I was embarrassed.

What does it mean? Like I should be the initiator ?!

"* Sigh * Mom, I'm sorry, but it's me ..." I said with some guilt.

My mother was surprised. Lilim and Mahiru were also surprised, wait, why the hell are you surprised ?!

"Brother, if you want a wife, then just wait until we grow up," Mahiru said with a barely concealed malicious smile.

In the past world, she would have been assigned a label, the Internet Troll. Oh, my God, she's only three, and she knows so many ways to mock her interlocutor that only me and Lilim's ears don't fade, and that is only because we are used to it. Especially for the father: "Oh, this muscular woman is our dad? Wow ... Can I have another? Even a hairy gorilla will be better than him. "

I rubbed the bridge of my nose. At such moments, when I become a victim of her mockery, Lilim came to my aid, but this time she is silent as a partisan.

"Ahem, Mahiru, my sun. Shut up please." I decided to use heavy artillery in the form of a calm voice and a radiant smile. It worked, Mahiru turned pale and shut up. In this whole house, she can only fear me, because I am the only one who will not disdain and beat her if necessary and will not lead to her "puppy eyes".

Aki smiled wryly and said:

"Since they will soon be eleven, Emdeath will have to finish her studies for the last year after which she, like baby Akira, will be independent. Therefore, I think it's better to have a feast on the day of the exam, in their new home. "

I just smiled wryly, Aki is already planning as if everyone agrees with everything and nothing will prevent this from happening.

"Hmm, we still have Caesar's tent, we can give it to Akira ..." said the father.

"I'm not going to live in this bastard's tent!" I myself did not expect to cry out.

While my sisters and Emdeath were looking at me blankly, Aki and my parents seemed to feel guilty.

"Akira, what happened? Who is Caesar? " asked Emdeath, looking from all the adults to me.

I had a wild temptation to tell, but what will she do when she finds out that she is alive only because her parents ate a member of my family, and not only them, but also my family. Girls shouldn't know about this.

"* Sigh * Just burn it, or better all things connected with it. I think there is plenty of time to build a new tent. " I somewhat calmed down looking at the worried expressions of the sisters and Emdeath.

"Ahah, don't worry, son! We are Partas and ... "I cut off my father's phrase with a frown glancing at him.

Partas? Caesar was also Parthas, but what? He ate his wife, participated in eating my brother. You call that Partas ?!

Anger burned through my chest. I wanted to hit this bastard who boasts that "We are Partas".

"Mamoru, please come out," Mom turned to her father, a confusion displayed on his face, but he nodded and left.

I sat. I didn't understand what was happening, but the anger did not go anywhere. I don't blame them for what happened, it's not their fault, but what the father says. This awakens a burning hatred in me, I want to beat him no matter what he says "We are Partas" anymore, I don't want to be of the same blood with that bastard who takes the lives of his family to satisfy his hunger, I don't want to think that such " events "is the norm for the Partas clan.

"Shhhh ..." my mother's voice reached my consciousness, at some point she began to press me to her chest stroking my head, but I, in turn, cried or just shed tears in silence, without screaming and screaming, "I know what you feel ... Do not think that it is hard for you alone, I had no easier and be sure that I also cannot stand his words. "

Hearing my mother's words, I felt better. At least she is not an insensitive person and for sure that decision was not easy for her, and I behave as a child as if only I feel bad from what happened to my brother.

"Quite selfish, huh?" I asked in a half whisper.

"Nothing, I grieved for a long time and blamed your father. If not for you, I would have laid hands on myself. "The warm hands of the mother and her words, they washed away the remnants of anger and feelings of loss.

Right.

I looked at mother, Mahiru, Lilim, Aki and .. Emdeath. They are all my family, I have to take care of them. And if the personality of Kisaragi Akira, which speaks of how important every human life is, is a hindrance, then I must give it up and live like Akira from the Partas clan. Partas, huh? "We are Partas"

I pulled away from my mother and smiled at the others.

"Excuse me, probably made you worry?"

"Since you're feeling better, I'll go find your father and bring him back here. Wait, please. "As she said this, Mom looked somehow even more cheerful than before.

The further conversation went more or less calmly, well, in the sense that I almost did not participate. It was mainly my mom and Aki who spoke, sometimes Emdeath. The conversation lasted a very long time until I noticed that somehow I fell asleep, but I woke up from the fact that I felt that someone had buried their hands in my hair, and I was also sleeping on something warm.

I opened my eyes and saw Emdeath, as well as the fact that I was sleeping in her lap.

"Conveniently?" stole Emdeath the question I wanted to ask her.

"More pleasant than convenient, what about you?" she smiled affectionately at my question.

"More pleasant than comfortable, mind." Emdeath continued her pleasant mockery of my hair until I finally noticed something.

"Where is everyone?" I tried to find with my eyes at least someone, but there were only the two of us in the tent.

"They went to my father to tell the decision about us, as well as decide the issue of a new tent." sadness flashed across Emdeath's face, "Akira, what happened and why did you react like that to Caesar's name? Is it related to how you have changed in recent years? "

"Emdeath, if I don't tell you what will you do?" I looked closely into her eyes.

"I will humble myself," Emdeath responded with a faint smile.

"I'll just ask: If only… .Although no, we will not talk about it" I cut short my idea of ​​"retelling as an example" about what happened, "Emdeath, my wife. Believe in me, I'll tell you later. I promise "

Her sweet smile returned to Emdeath's face:

"Good"

***

Another year passed. Emdeath did an excellent job with her "exam", thanks to the fact that Aki took on her training even more closely and taught her to use stilettos. Slowly Emdeath is turning into a second Aki, is that bad? Well, with her body, I can tell it's not bad.

"Let me congratulate Akira and my little girl Emdeath on becoming a spouse! Hurrah!" with a voice of complete dignity, said the leader Bruno.

We are now celebrating inside our (Mine and Emdeath) new home. No one is usually invited to such events, except for the family of both spouses, no best men or bridesmaids. Cheap and cheerful.

"Akira bastard fight me!" cried Escanor, whose pride was hurt for he also wanted to repeat my feat with the "early graduation", but he was able to pass the eleventh year exam only at nine.

Of course Emdeath could have finished her studies earlier too, but I asked her not to. Emdeath only smiled wryly at the provocations of her older brother and wondered why she was so lucky with such a brother.

Every time Escanor demanded a duel, I always dodged the challenge, at first I used caring for my mother as a reason, then taking care of my sisters, and as a result ... Comrade Escanor "got baked" in expectations, he even intimidated poor Goon with his frequent duels.

"Escanor, be quiet ..." Aki turned to her son with a sweet smile and rubbing her hand over his neck.

"Y-yes! Yes sir! I listen! "
