Little Florine's New Life

Florine wakes up from her sleep, but is shocked to find herself in a strange place.

"Mother? Where are you?" - Florine

"You're awake." - Flora

"Mother?" - Florine

Flora smiled wryly and approached Florine.

"You miss mom?" - Flora

Florine just nodded, her tears were already wet in her eyes and could fall at any time.

"For now, you will stay with me here." - Flora

"And mother? What about her? Does she live with us?" - Florine

"No." - Flora

"Why?" - Florine

"You'll find out, but not now." - Flora

"Then when?" - Florine

"By your 5th birthday, maybe only half, but you'll understand when you're older." - Flora

"Okay, I'll grow up soon." - Florine

"But to know that, you have to study, agree?" - Flora

"Florine agrees!" - Florine

"Good girl~ Alright, now let's go in and clean up. You should also shower and change clothes." - Flora

...****************...

"Um... I don't know your name yet. How can I call you?" - Florine

"My name is Flora." - Flora

"Anu... what should I call you? Sister or auntie?" - Florine

"That's up to you. But, how about we play your mother's game of hide and seek?" - Flora

"Ah, so I have to call you mom like in the game?" - Florine

"Correct." - Flora

"Okay, I'll call you mom." - Florine

"Thank you for your cooperation, but please don't talk to me formally, I'm just a servant doing my job." - Flora

"Then don't talk formally either, I'm still small." - Florine

"Okay, if that's what you want." - Flora

Enjoying talking, they unknowingly have formed a new bond. Closer than a friend, more loyal than a follower to his master.

The bond between mother and her child.

Even though Flora wasn't the one who gave birth to Florine, the two of them had a stronger bond over time. Just like now, the day Florine has been waiting for, her 5th birthday.

"Because you have studied diligently and now if you read even a little, I must keep my promise, here. Read carefully, I'm going to the kitchen." - Flora

Florine opened the letter, while Flora went to the kitchen, didn't want to disturb Florine who was reading her mother's letter.

*flashback*

"Flora, please give this to Florine, every time her birthday comes. Slowly but surely, she will definitely understand my situation. She was different from children her age, Florine, like her name. She continues to develop even before she reaches adulthood, therefore her nature is very mature compared to her age." - Ymir

*end of flashback*

"Krista, huh? Your name is very beautiful, but why did you change it? But... what you say is true. Even though she was still young, she quickly understood difficult things. I, who is older than her, am confused by all this, but look at her. Within three months, she could read and even understand a painting. That girl... is full of surprises." - Flora

"Mother..." - Florine

Flora didn't see Florine in the living room, she turned around and was surprised to see Florine beside her.

"What? When did she come here? And just now... she called me... mother?" - Flora

"Mother, it'll be lunch soon. Can I help prepare lunch?" - Florine

"Oh, how's the letter?" - Flora

"Good, I've kept it well too." - Florine

“Is that so? That's good. Maybe the contents of the letter were simple, that's why she acted normal. Okay, you said you wanted to help prepare lunch, right?" - Flora

"Yes." - Florine

"Okay." - Flora

Flora took a piece of paper from the kitchen drawer.

"I have several menu lists, choose what you like. We will prepare it together." - Flora

"Okay." - Florine

°Lunch Menu List°

°1. Omelette with boiled potatoes.°

°2. Pesto shrimp pasta.°

°3. Egg and vegetable sandwich.°

"I want bread filled with eggs and vegetables and an omelet with boiled potatoes." - Florine

"Okay, let's make it together." - Flora

"Let's make it!" - Florine

Flora prepared omelettes and boiled potatoes, while Florine prepared bread and chopping vegetables.

"At first I was hesitant about teaching him to use a knife. Even though his mind was mature, he was still a child. Sharp objects such as knives will be dangerous if you are not clever at using them. But it seems that, apart from being mature, Florine is also very careful. Ymir, if only you saw it, you would be as proud as I am." - Flora

"Mother, I have cut the vegetables." - Florine

"It's finished, arrange the bread on plates." - Flora

Florine prepared two plates and put one slice of bread on both plates, Florine put an omelet on both plates and arranged the vegetables on top then Florine covered it with another pair of bread.

"All the menus are ready, now for drinks, how about Eiskaffee?" - Flora

"What's that?" - Florine

"It's a famous German-style iced coffee that comes from combining cold brew coffee and ice cream. There are rumors that its creator was a wizard. He made a block that was cold as snow, he chopped it up and mixed it with coffee. He also makes ice cream. It is also already on the market. The price is quite fantastic, so I can't afford it. So, let's make it ourselves." - Flora

"But how do we cool it? We don't have that cold block." - Florine

"That's right, okay, for now just drink as usual. I'll make milk for you and coffee for me. While I make the drink, arrange the food on the dining table." - Flora

"Okay." - Florine

...****************...

*Evening*

"Florine is asleep, now I have to clean the house. Of course there are people who will take care of it, but they only come twice a day. So-" - Flora

A knock on the door distracted Flora.

"Who's coming at this hour? Wait, who even discovered this place?" - Flora

Flora looked from the window, and she saw a man standing in front of the door.

"Who's that?" - Flora

When the man took off his hood, revealing his silver hair. The man knocked on the door of the house once again, Flora, who was curious, opened the door.

"Finally opened."

"Sorry who are you? And looking for whom?" - Flora

"My name is Mikhail Rodigro, I am a Saint. I'm looking for a girl, she has silver hair and blue eyes." - Mikhail

"What a coincidence, her features are similar to Florine. But, how did he know there was a house here? Sorry, but no kids here." - Flora

"Is it true? But, the letter says I can find her here." - Mikhail

"Could you please show me the letter?" - Flora

"Of course." - Mikhail

Mikhail took out a letter from his bag and handed it to Flora.

"This... this is Ymir's handwriting. Wait, Krista? Is Krista Ymir's pseudonym or her real name? It seems she sent someone here as Krista, just like the one I saw on the wall at that time. Please come in, and explain everything inside." - Flora

"Okay." - Mikhail

...****************...

"So, what brings you here besides this letter?" - Flora

"That..." - Mikhail
