Beast Mutation - 23 Ch. 21 Lily
After a while, his mother’s lecture finally stopped. “Now, promise me you will never risk your life.” Karen said, directly looking into his eyes. “Okay, mom, I will never do it.” Karol said in a small voice.
“Okay, that’s good.” Karen said while nodding her head in satisfaction. “Mom, where is aunty Joana.” Karol asked. “Kiddo, she also has a family to take care of, so of course she will be there.” Karen said with a smile.
“It was a great idea that I did that.” Karol thought out aloud. “Huh, what great idea did you do now.” Karen asked while thinking about what trouble did he do now.
“You can come in now.” Karol shouted. After a while, the gate of the room opened, and the girl entered the room. “Who is this…” Just as Karen asked that question, she saw a slave collar on the Girl’s neck and looked at her with a strange emotion.
When she finally entered the room, Karen said, looking at her, “Kid, you should sit down.” and then look at Karol with an angry eye and said, “Now, about you kiddo!.”
Karol realized that something was, so he started to crawl out of the room slowly. “Stop right there, kiddo!.” Karen said with daggers in her eyes. Hearing that, Karol just froze on that spot.
“Don’t you remember what I had told you at that time.” Karen said with a sharp voice. Hearing that, Karol started to think about what she had told him, and he suddenly remembers it.
“Mom, sorry, but I got to do that as you will be alone in this house if I work outside.” Karol said in a small voice, trying to reason with her as he still remembers that she hates those people who buy or sell slaves.
Hearing their conversation, the girl suddenly started to laugh. “Why are you laughing?” Karen asked in a soft voice. Hearing her voice, she suddenly froze as she was not familiar with the woman in front of her.
Looking at her reaction, she realized that she is probably scared of her as she still doesn’t know her. “Don’t need to get scared as you have done nothing wrong.” She said in a soft voice. Hearing her voice, she looked at the woman.
“I am n-not s-s-scared but h-h-happy as someone s-spoke to me with a soft tone.” She said with a smile. Hearing her, Karen suddenly remembers something but ignored it. “From now on, you do not need to worry as you will be staying with us.”
“Then, mom, have I done a great job, right?” Karol asked in a small voice. “Well, kiddo, I am still angry, but I decided to forgive you as this was your first time but never do it again.” Karen said, looking straight into his eyes. “Okay, mom.” He said with relief.
“And, yeah, another thing, from now on, she will be not our slave…” Karen said, looking at the girl. Hearing her words, the girl suddenly froze, thinking that she will be discarded. “But my daughter and your little sister from now on.” Karen said with a warm smile.
Hearing her words, the girl suddenly started to cry as even though she has lost her memories, she still knows how slaves are treated in this world, and she didn’t expect this thing to happen.
After a while, the girl stopped crying. “Say, what’s your name is?” Karen asked, looking at the girl. Hearing that, the girl just puts her head down. Looking at the situation, Karol said, “She doesn’t have any name.”
Karen looked at the girl with a surprised expression and asked, “What do you mean by that?”. Hearing that, Karol started to narrate the story of the Girl’s past to his mother. After hearing the story of her past, Karen looked at the girl with a sad expression.
“We will give you a new name for the occasion of the start of your new life.” Karen said with a warm smile. Hearing that, the girl looks at Karen with expectation for her new, and Karol also looked at the situation with interest.
“Karol, you should name her as you have brought her here.” Karen said that looking at Karol. Karol was surprised to hear that but nodded his head. Karol started to think about what name he should give her.
Then he suddenly remembered something and said, “Lily!”. Hearing that name, Karen remembered something and smiled that Karol has accepted Lily as her younger sister.
“So, how do you like your name.” Karol asked, looking at Lily. “Lily, like her name very much.” Lily said with a smile as she liked her name very much. Suddenly, Karol started patting her head, but Lily didn’t say anything as she loves this action
“Kiddo, you should now remove the slave collar from her.” Karen said, looking at the siblings. Hearing that Karol nodded his head and tried to remove the collar using his brute strength, but was unable to do anything.
“Absorb mana from that stone, then remove the collar.” Karen said, sighing. Hearing that, Karol said, “You should have said that first.”. Hearing that Karen looked at Karol with a sharp gaze and said, “What did you say?”.
“Nothing at all.” Karol said in a small voice. He then started to absorb the mana of the stone after absorbing the mana; the stone turned transparent once again. Now, he tried to remove the collar and was quickly able to do that.
“Now, that has been done; you should go shopping with Lily to buy her some clothes.” Karen said, looking at the rag Lily was wearing. Karol nodded his head as he also doesn’t like his sister to be on this rag.
“Let’s go, Lily, for shopping for your new clothes.” Karol said, looking at Lily. “Clothes for Lily.” Lily asked in a surprised tone. Looking and her reaction, both of them laughed and said, “Yes, for you.”
“Lily is very happy.” Lily said in a bright tone. Looking at her emotion Karon and Karen warmly smiled at her.
