Mimir also followed me to the military district.

Shed suffered a supposedly grievous injury during the battle against goblin shaman, thats why shes also heading to the military district.

It was a coincidence that we met up at Rafals grave earlier.

None of us expected to meet each other there.

[How often do you go to see Raine?]

[Now its once a week. How about Fate-sama?]

[Im twice a week.]

[But Raine-san said you rarely come to visit her. So I thought its once a month or something like that. Turns out its twice a week.]

[Un, in addition to that, the diagnosis time is strangely long.]

[I see. Fate-samas case is indeed more special than mine. Speaking of which, regarding the diagnosis, I hate when she uses a syringe to take a blood sample from me.]

[Ahahaha, me too.]

After talking about various topics along the way with Mimir, I felt that its easier to hold a conversation with her now.

When she was first brought to the mansion by Aaron, I couldnt even hold a short conversation due to a sense of distance between us.

After talking with her like this, I realized that Mimir wasnt a stuck up girl I thought she was. Perhaps its just something to do with education she received while still being part of Burix family.

Its been a while, but I suppose people still recognized Mimirs face.

I noticed that when the soldiers guarding the gate to the military district stopped us for inspection.

One of the soldiers attempted to grab her, but received a bag slap for his trouble. Apparently Mimir still hated being touched by a stranger.

[Im a servant of Barbatos family now. I dont think inspection was necessary, especially since we are walking together at the moment..]

Her tone was not that of a servant, but a holy knights.

That cold smile reminded me of the past, making me shed cold sweat. It was such a stark difference since shes usually calm and gentle back at the mansion.

Well, I suppose its fine considering shes now with Barbatos family and the situation at hand.

Its hard to be kind to everyone, and the soldier seemed to have no good intentions as well.

I went ahead to explain to the other soldiers.

[Mimir does dress like a servant. But shes still a woman adopted to Barbatos family. Ill take full responsibility if something does happen. No need to conduct physical inspection on her from now on.]

[But]

[Didnt you hear me? Barbatos family head, Fate Barbatos, will take responsibility. If you still have any complain, feel free to report it yourself to Her Majesty Eris Seyfert.]

[No need. Please proceed.]

I may have gone overboard a little there. I inwardly apologized to those gate guards before passing through the gate.

When we got to the distance where the soldiers wont hear us anymore, Mimir happily told me.

[I never imagined that you would do something like that for me.]

[Because Mimir is part of the family now. Like my own sister.]

[I see because Im your sister, you wont let a stranger touch me. Because its gross. I see, I see.]

She sounded and looked somewhat disappointed by my reply.

This sight is too painful to see

Kuuu!

Unable to stand it, I told Mimir.

[What the hell was that! Really now!]

[Fufufufu, Im just wondering why Roxy-sama really likes to do this kind of thing]

Mimir said proudly without stopping her pacing.

So you love seeing my troubled face!? Whats with that satisfied look on your face.

[I get it. Imagine in your head, what will happen if those soldiers do a physical inspection again without you around.]

[Fine, but]

I have no idea what will happen. As we proceed to the research facility, I couldnt help but to have my imagination running wild.

[What are you thinking at the moment?]

[Oh, No idea yet? Im still thinking.]

[Simple then. Just imagine if it happens to Roxy-sama instead of me.]

Just like that!? You want me to practice it like that!?

[Guha.]

It was such a great shock to me that I stopped on my track.

That struck me in the weak point. I never even consider that.

What with this dark emotion rising in my mind.

[Its something you never thought before, isnt it? Even, I never thought that itll go that far. What are you going to do with the soldier then?]

[Revenge!!]

[Thats just too much! Overboard!!]

I reversed direction, about to head back to the soldiers, but someone held my hand to halt me.

[Hold it right there, its just an example, why are you trying to put it into action right away!?]

Seeing Mimirs face, I knew I shouldnt keep the charade up anymore.

Its so funny, my stomach hurt.

[Ahahahahah]

[Ah!? Could it be that you tricked me!?]

Her mouth was wide open, perplexed. It appeared that she thought I was serious.

Ive been spending a lot more time with the likes of Greed, Myne, and Eris before. Compared to them, Mimir is like a naive child.

I couldnt help but to feel sorry for her, but

[Its 100 years too early for you to do that to me.]

[Gununu]

[But honestly, my sister is such a good girl.]

[Humph! Im not as good as Fate-sama thought.]

It seemed that Ive gone a bit too far. Mimir seemed annoyed.

But I suppose the distance between us had shrunk even more. I did it.

While I was thinking like that, Mimir dropped a bomb on me.

[Actuallythere was a time when I was sucking Fate-samas blood. Perhaps because I sucked too much or maybe Fate-sama was already exhausted beforehand, you ended up falling over me on the bed]

[And so?]

[No matter how hard I called out to you or poked you, you wouldnt wake up.]

[What happened then?]

My heart was pounding What did we do? Its alright, Mimir is a good girl. And Im a good boy.

But wait. Mimir had that little devil attitude in her as well.

I was asleep, so I might not notice it. She did suck on my blood several times to the point that I fell asleep.

Still, when I got up in the morning, Mimir was not on my side, and there was no sign of anything happening.

Its alright, its alright. While I was trying to convince myself, Mimir said with a grin.

[You didnt get up, so we ended up sleeping together.]

[Eeeeeeeee, for real!?]

[Yes, its true. But I woke up right before dawn. I still had my duties as a maid after all.]

[..]

[Its alright. We are brother and sister. Nothing is wrong with that. Un un]

After making such a huge reveal, it was Mimir herself who made up an excuse for that.

She then left me to my own thought, heading to the research facility.

[Wait a minute. You are just trying to get even with me, arent you?]

[Arara, what time is it? We should make haste, Fate-sama]

[Tell me about it once again in more detail. What happened oi, tell me!]

Mimir then stabbed me with an even more worrying statement.

[Rest assured. I will keep it a secret from Roxy-sama.]

[Ee, to Roxy!?]

[Yes, because itll be embarrassing if it becomes known that Barbatos family head had slept with his own sister, will it not? You mustve realized that as well!]

[Thats not the problem here!]

Nono if Roxy knows about this

There is also a possibility that Mimir was just trying to trick me.

Even so, I couldnt deny that as well.

Its as if I had no way to retreat.

Mimir put her hand on my shoulder, and gently said.

[I knew this already, that Fate-sama has very low resistance to woman. This side of you is sweet as well. Un un.]

[That side of me is sweet?]

Clearly there were very little amount of women I could consider as a good friend. At this point, I could hear Greed laughing at me.

Resistance!? There was no such thing!!

[Therefore, itll be best if I help you to practice more. It should be fine since Im your sister]

[Un un, my arse! Of course its problematic!]

[Isnt it better that way? Me being your sister? Otherwise, itll become a big deal. Youll have to be careful to not let Roxy-sama knows about it]

Her mentioning keeping a secret reminded me of the fact that I should be more honest to Roxy.

Fuuhn not half bad.

[Whats the matter? Why are you sweating so profusely?]

Arara, she produced a handkerchief and hurriedly wiped the sweat on my forehead.

Mimir herself was the culprit behind the sweat though.

At that point I sensed that Mimirs intensity becoming stronger. The strongest so far.

Our destination had already visible. I promptly made my escape to the research facility.

[Im going ahead]

[Eh, why are you doing that when we should go together!]

[Im sorry, because my sister is really scary at the moment!]

[Thats but a slight discouragement. First of all, how about we discuss it while having a seat around here?]

[No way!]

[Fate-sama! Please wait up!]

I dashed to the facility and immediately entered the elevator.

I pressed the button that will bring me to the floor where Raines office is,

Huwa~, this is relieving. This made a good temporary retreat from Mimir who gradually showed her true nature.

Just when I thought so, a hand got in the way right when the automatic door was about to close.

[Gyaaaa!]

[How dare you to leave me like that! Ill suck your blood out!]

[Hiiiii!]

[Blood Blood Im digging in!]

Mimirs eyes were stained in blood red.

This is when shes driven by the urge to drink blood the most.

She managed to squeeze herself into the elevator. The automatic door closed in short after. Which means, were stuck together here, on a closed room.

There was no escape. She pushed me to the wall.

[I guess, I cant endure it anymore]

[You must try to endure it. This isnt the place]

[Impossible for me. All of it. I terribly need Fate-sama]

The battle with Goblin Shaman had caused her a great deal of damage, which may have consumed a large amount of energy to recover from.

The sound of her harsh breathing near my ear was evidently the sign of her needing my blood.

Usually I wont allow her to suck on my blood on random places. But, she did save Roxy earlier today.

I guess I had no choice

I offered my neck willingly.

Taking that as a signal, Mimir promptly bit me. There was no pain.

If anything, it actually felt good. Thats the strange part. Such sensation would invade my senses when shes sucking my blood.

According to Raine, its an ability that belongs to the Nightwalker origin, so that he can feast on his preys blood without being resisted. Mimir seemed to have done similar things, since I felt no intention to fight her off.

While being sucked on, I turned my sight to the number representing the floor we are at.

When it displays the desired floor, the automatic door will open by itself.

What appeared on the other side was a sleepy looking woman in white lab coat. She regarded the both of us with a nonchalant tone.

[Cant you two do that while you are back at the mansion?]

[You got it all wrong, Raine! Mimir is in need of blood!]

[Hoo~]

Raine narrowed her eyes, and pressed the button to close the automatic door.

Its like shes saying that she doesnt care about my excuses.

[Im sorry for interrupting your funtime. Well then]

[Please hear me out!]

And the automatic door closed completely.

While sucking my blood, unbeknownst to me, Mimir was smiling. Her face was colored in satisfaction.
