Chapter 11 Talk over Breakfast

Narrator PoV:

A few minutes after dawn, Alice woke up with a tear on her face. She touched her face and looked at it before sighing in relief.

"It's a dream. I thought I went back."

Alice PoV:

I remember what that dream is about. It was when I started locking myself inside my room. Our family were crumbling slowly. Mom was getting the divorce papers ready and was planning to take us into custody but dad being an asshole wanted Cecil to come with him. I started locking myself in my room and only go out in midnight to take a shower and eat.

Before I transmigrated, mom and dad were arguing about who'll take Cecil with them. Mom threatened dad that she'll take that to court so fought. At that time, I was inside my room, trying to avoid our family problems.

I am quite fortunate to be transmigrated in an alternate world as myself... just as a girl... with my mom being a demoness. Here there's no family problem, if the rest of the clan being wiped out except the four of us didn't count.

Why am I even stressing about the past? I have a new life now. Even though I have only been here for two days, I am satisfied with my family's well being now. I ought to be testing my new avatar right now.

"Alice! Breakfast's ready, come here!"

"Just a sec. I'll be there!"

I walked out of my room after fixing my bed hair and walked in the living room. My breakfast is already at the coffee table. I saw my siblings eating their breakfast while sitting in the couch.

Mom was sitting in the sofa drinking her morning coffee. The moment she saw me, she looked at me with a terrifying smile on her face making me sweat profusely.

"Didn't I say to you that you need to let me know if you have your second avatar, little lady?"

I felt a chill down my spine at her question. Seeing her scary smile, I knew that I have to find a way out of this situation. Without thinking any further I fully activated my avatar [ Uriel ] and my whole body transformed. I now have an expressionless face making my emotions and thoughts harder to read.

"I didn't seek your permission because I know that I will be fine. I already analyzed that my soul can take the burden and will not suffer from soul erosion due to my soul being strengthened."

My mom was surprised at my sudden changed and she stared at me blankly shortly. When she heard my reason, she pouted cutely and complained at me with mock anger.

"Mou~ Alice-chan's cheating! Using your avatar to forcibly calm down, how will mom scold you now~?"

I ignored my mom's complaint and sat at a couch near the TV. Our living room had three couches and a sofa, with the sofa and a couch facing the TV while the other two couches were by the side.

We're having pancakes for breakfast today. My mom is a good cook and her food are delicious. It is the same case with the pancakes she made. They are fluffy and soft, and with maple syrup, they were even more delicious.

While I was eating my breakfast, I thought about something and glanced at my brother's direction. He's behaving unnaturally. He is eating his pancakes slowly and looks to be in deep thought.

My brother felt that someone was staring at him so he subconsciously looked up to see who it was. The moment he looked up, he met my eyes staring at him expressionlessly making him flinch slightly.

"Why are you staring at me?"

[ Jayce Tristisia --> Son of Fiore Tristisia and younger brother of Alice Tristisia... (more)

Jayce has been in an anxious mood since yesterday. He wants to ask his mom to lift the seal on him. It is because his bloodline magic awakened last night, but he wasn't sure if it really awakened or just his assumption... ]

"Mom, it seems like Jayce awakened his bloodline magic."

I used my eyes to see what was up with Jay, but I didn't expect that he'll awaken his this early. I cheated with my system so I can use mine without obstruction whatsoever. But Jay, he definitely is a genius.

"Oh! So that's why you're so anxious. You want me to remove the seal, right? Don't worry, leave it to mommy!"

Jay looked down in embarrassment at my mom's words. Meanwhile, Mom just took a small knife from who knows where and she made a small cut in her thumb. She then pressed her bloodied thumb to Jay's forehead, making him glow faintly for a few seconds.

"There! I removed it. If you want to use your magic, you still need to inform me and I'll teach you how to do it."

"But, Sis—"

"No buts! Your elder sister is an exception because she broke her seal on her own. Now go eat your breakfast!"

Jay didn't argue with mom any further and just returned to eat his food, but this time with more vigor. I looked at mom expressionlessly observing her. I am very curious as to what mom's avatars can do. My avatar's personality and thirst for knowledge is affecting me as I also activated it. If not, will my face still have this blank expression.

"Mom."

"What is it, little lady?"

"What can you do? I mean your avatar."

"Fufufu~ You already saw it. My ability in my human form is [ Etherseal ] that can seal even bloodlines. As for my other one..."

I stared at her intently with a curious gaze and a slight smile. The only situation when I show expression with my avatar is when I learn more. Alas, I will be disappointed.

"... that's a secret~"

>++++++++++++++++++++++++<

A/N: I am looking at my phone in a daze right now. It seems that my head injuries are catching up to me as I will go into a daze every now and then.

But fret not! As I am still writing this while bashing my head at my coffee table. After a few more hits I will be cured! So don't worry and... GIVE ME SOME POWER STONES!🔥🔥🔥
