"Hey, girl, it's hot."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Are you okay, Me?　Here, I made you some porridge, so eat slowly."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's hot. I can't eat this!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, I'm sorry. Here, puff, puff. Yes, I think it's a little cold, so put it in your mouth slowly."

　More time has passed since we came to Barca village.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We met Master Alphonse in the fall and he brought us here, and now it's already the new year.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It all happened so fast.

　The studies are hard every day, but we don't fall down with hunger.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't shiver from cold.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder if there is such a thing as happiness.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But there is one thing that worries me a little.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It's about Mee.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Lately, my sister Mee has been getting sick a lot.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Today, she had a fever since this morning and did not wake up.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Dr. Ai has been telling her to rest until she gets well, so she is sleeping well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I'm also able to feed her porridge and take care of her, so I'm glad to be out of the favela.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I am worried.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I feel like Mee is getting feverish and falling asleep more and more often, like today.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It never used to be like that before.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We both used to be in good health.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Otherwise, we would never have survived in such a poor life.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Why do I get sick so often when I have a better life than that?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After finishing his porridge, he wakes up Mee's body and performs a life magic called [washing].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In an instant, her body is clean.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But once she is undressed, I wipe her with a cloth.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But once he is undressed, I wipe him down with a cloth, because as he said it was hot, his body was sweating.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This village, where the statue of the Sky King is located, does not feel too cold even at this time of year.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, I would get cold if I still had perspiration on my body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I carefully wipe the sweat off my body and put it back under the covers.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The body of Mee that I had seen earlier did not seem to be in any particular trouble.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She is more toned than when she was in the favela.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Her body, which used to be so heavy, is now firm and healthy looking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I wonder why he has been getting fever so often.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I'll ask Dr. Ai to check on me again later. I hope you get well soon, Mee.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He then places a wet cloth on his forehead, trying to save a strand of hair on his forehead.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's no use. You're not going to fix him with that kind of care.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Aah! You scared me. Norn-sama?　How long have you been there?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was looking at Mee's sleeping face when she suddenly called out to me from behind, startling me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was so surprised that I jumped up and down like a cat.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I held my beating heart from my chest and turned my head toward the back where I heard the voice, and there was Norn-sama.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The Norn you sometimes see in this village of Barca.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is walking in bright red armor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sometimes he is training with mercenaries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I still don't know what he is.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But he is clearly treated differently from ordinary mercenaries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I have seen him several times talking to Mr. Alphonse, Mr. Ian, and Mr. Ai as equals.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I think he must be one of the top members of this Barka Mercenaries.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But sometimes I don't see him at all, and moreover, I have never seen his face under the armor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We orphans are still not familiar with him because we don't know what he looks like and his voice echoes in his armor, making him a bit creepy.

"That's him, isn't it?　You're the daughter of a half-breed beastman, aren't you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Beastman?　Mixed blood?　Mee?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes. A cat-like creature that once existed on the demon continent. You're a descendant of them, aren't you?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"No, no. Mee is my sister. Our parents were normal humans.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Then I guess you must be a half-breed. I saw the cat's ears and tail growing out. That's a common trait among the ancestors."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Ancestry, sir?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Yes, ancestors. The half-breeds who once lived on the demon continent were born with this trait. And most of them died prematurely of fever like now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　...... dead?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What do you mean?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mee certainly began to undergo physical changes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Does this have something to do with her current poor health?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Now that you put it that way, I can't help but think of something.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mee has been in good health until now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was when she became able to change her body that she started to get sick.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Those adorable cat ears and cat tail.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since then, she has been practicing to put them out and retract them at her will.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Does that have something to do with it?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Really?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, Dr. Ai didn't say that. Is it true, Mr. Norn?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That doll doesn't know everything, does it?　He doesn't seem to know what this kid's symptoms are. But I've seen people like him before. I'm sure."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Such as .......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If there is a physical change in me, I can be of help to Master Alphonse.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I thought so, but how could it cause me to die prematurely?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hearing Norn's words, I look at Mee in a panic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He is sleeping peacefully now, but his face is sweating again.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I had just wiped it off.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Well, it's not like I can't help you.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, really?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yeah. Normally I wouldn't be able to, but now I'm here. But I can't do it alone. I need your blood. You're sisters with the kid."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Blood ......?　Okay. I'll do anything if my blood can save Mee. Please, Master Norn. Save me, save my sister.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I cling to Master Norn's legs and beg.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Feet of hard armor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I bow my head by his feet and beg him again and again to save me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And the Norn heard me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Laughing happily, he said, "Okay, I'll help you," and reached out his hand to me.
