Chapter 4 : A New Family

A voice echoed in the house

" Iris-chan , Dinner is ready ! "  (Elsa)

I replied while exiting my bedroom in a hurry

" Yes,  I'm coming !! "

As i went down the stairs, i smelled a sweet aroma emanating from the food on the table . Swallowing my saliva, i sat down on the chair next to Mirza who was also  captivated by the smell and kept drooling on the table. Then Elsa came from the kitchen while carrying a large pot.

She then said with a bright smile on her face

" hehe.... it's ready, i hope that you will like this"

" Whaaaah!!! It smells gooood! " Mirza replied

" It's all thanks to Iris-chan recipe " Elsa laughed calmly

I sighed and said with a low voice

" No miss Els.. "

Then a chill ran through my body, miss Elsa was glaring at me furiously. Then i corrected myself quickly

"euh i mean Mom. Altough the recipe is good, you have a great talent at cooking. If not, then how was it possible to succeed after just one try !"

Facing my praise, she blushed and became embarassed, or was it me calling her "mom" ? Anyway, she then opened the pot, the steam disapered in the thin air.

It was a "chicken curry with vegetables" , the recipe wasn't hard to make since all the ingredients were available in itonia, the trick part was how to cook it since ovens , refrigerators, and electric equipments didn't exist. However, that was all resolved by the use of "magic".

Magic was used in their daily lives , it was divided into different categories: Fire/wind/water/earth/Light/Darkness/Forbidden magic.

Most of the races could use magic, even humans. But the affinity differs from a person to another.

Everyone could learn any type of magic as long as they have mana in their body, and if they learned the basic spells. However affinity does exist in this world, if a person has an affinity to wind element for example, it was much easier to learn this element than the others.

Elsa had an affinity to fire magic, so she was able to stabilise the temperature of the pot during the cooking process with her magic stones.

" Ah, it tastes good... "  Mirza said while gulping

" Well then, let's begin eating ! " (Elsa)

And then we began enjoying our dinner in silence ....

After the dinner, while i was lying on the couch, i was reminiscing about this past few days, when i was sleeping under their roof, eating with them, chatting, playing tag with Mirza (author's note: oh ? ), learning to do the chores and the laundry from Elsa. I was considering Mirza and Elsa like a family to me, a family i never had. I was thankful to God (no, not that fallen god) for letting me escape the destiny that i was faited to have on earth.

Tears began to fall from my eyes while my face kept smiling....

I really didn't regret the decision that i made that day...

And then i fell asleep

----------------------------------------

5 days ago:

When miss Elsa proposed to me to live with her and Mirza, i was at first reluctant to say yes.

After all i didn't really like to depend on others, also miss Elsa was the type of person who was kind and honest and considerably softhearted to her kid Mirza. But then after the first day living with  them , i got accustomed to their life style. I even proposed myself to help miss Elsa who did not refuse  and even taught me how to do laundry.

When i was an ojou-sama of a rich family, naturally the servants were the ones who were responsable for the chores. But right now, i'm just a normal person . I also need to do my best to help the people who are taking care of me!

The place where we were sleeping was a small house who was connected to the tavern from the backside, and wasn't really visible at first sight from the outside.

It was a small house with 2 floors, 2 rooms, a living room, a kitchen, a restroom.

Naturally my bed was in the same room as my cute little brother Mirza, on the 2 floor.

About Mirza, when his mother annonced to him that from now on, i will be living under their care. He was skeptical.

However after a few days with them, i got along with him, and we began chatting and playing together like brothers and sisters, needless to say that when he talked to me he was adressing me as "onee-san" , and i was really happy about this. As for Elsa, she wanted me to stop adressing her as "miss Elsa" and call her " Mom " like Mirza. The difference between miss Elsa and i isn't that great, i was 18 and she was 26. She insisted so that i call her "Mom"  from now on, but i'm still unable to get used to it...

I accompanied time to time miss Elsa "Mom" to the market place on her free days when the tavern was closed . We bought meat and vegetables, also some wine and some magic stones.

After that, i continued to ask her different questions to learn and to get accustomed to this world . But after sometime, she gave me a simple reply:

"Iris-chan , i don't think i can answer all your questions. Even i , am not knowledgeable about everything.

However, you should go search the answers yourself one day in the library , there you will understand more about this world"

i replied with a small disappointement in my face

"The library.... "

It's not that i never thought of that possibility, it's just that i don't know how to read and write, so i would need time to learn how to before going there.

After that, we got back to the house, i asked her to let me try cooking a recipe from my world. She was curious, so she accepted, however on one condition, that i will let her try cooking the recipe first.

And that led us to the situation right now...

----------------------------------------

" Onee chan .... onee chan ! "

Listening to this  sweet voice in my ears, i woke up immediately....

" .... eh... Mirza . What is it? "

 Mirza said with a serious tone and a worried expression on his face

" Onee chan, mom is ill !!  "

letting a surprised voice i replied

" Eeeh?!  "
