Chapter 1069: A New Family Member



Arthur woke up, his eyes shining brightly with many colors. It seemed they were... working properly.

Naturally, I was really shocked to see my brother awake.

I was panicking right now!

I was going completely batshit insane.

"A-Arthur?!"

At the same time as I screamed, Arthur started crying, still shocked to see me.

"ARTHURRR!"

I jumped over him and hugged him tightly, feeling the warmth of his body over my own cold body.

"Big sis... You're really here, you're alive..." Arthur continued crying, speaking for the first time. "I'm so happy, I'm so happy you're here... Big sis... Big sis..."

It was really his voice, it was him, he even recognized me after all I've changed!

"Do you recognize your big sis?!" I cried tears of happiness. "Even with this hair and my eyes looking red?!"

"Of course I would!" He kept crying. "You're my big sis!"

He hugged me tightly. I couldn't resist anymore, as I kissed his forehead and cheeks. Feeling the little brother I saw grow up since he was a literal baby fine and dandy in front of me made me go euphoric.

"I'm so sorry for taking so long to get to you..." I kept crying. "So much happened, but I finally am here, and I won't let you go ever again... I will protect you. I will do what a big sister must have done from the very beginning..."

As I said that, Arthur accepted my hugs and kisses, as he laughed a bit after all the love I was giving to him.

"Y-You don't need to push yourself so far, big sis. It's fine..." Arthur sighed, as I cleansed his face with a handkerchief. "A lot has happened, so much... B-But once I heard you were a ghost fighting against those people, I never lost hope! I'm so happy... you're back."

"Yeah, I became a ghost..." I sighed. "I-Is that bad for you?"

"Well you're already hugging and kissing me, so it's not like I can say anything against it anymore..." Arthur sighed. "A-Also, I don't think I am myself anymore... Ugh, my head hurts though."

"Y-You shouldn't be standing up yet though! Rest for now, okay? Your body and soul are still attuning." I told him.

I gently placed him back into bed and covered him with blankets.

"But... I want to be with big sis..." He sighed, looking sleepy.

"Okay, gotcha." Partner nodded.

"Hm, is there something I can help with?" Lucifer asked.

"I'll need fresh water to wash him whenever he's awake. He probably won't be able to move

his body properly." I explained.

"Alright." Lucifer nodded.

"What about the other people you saved too?" Wondered Emeraldine.

"They were already teleported back to our village. My Undead will take care of them, mostly the skeletons." I explained. "I sent Phantom Clones with them to take care of things

properly."

"Oh, that's nice and considerate of you." Emeraldine smiled. "Then let me stay with you and assist you in anything you need, dear."

"Aw, thank you my love." As she sat down next to me, I gave her a little kiss.

"What do I do? What do I do!" Nyx was asking while jumping.

"Err, well, maybe you can just stay here." I said. "No, actually go help your auntie Partner

with making some soup."

"Oh... Okay!" Nyx nodded happily.

After that, everyone dispersed.

We spent the next three days like that, nursing my brother while waiting for his slow recovery.

Emeraldine could have tried using her healing magic, but the exhaustion he had was beyond just the body, it was also within his soul and the "attuning" that needed to be done.

So we only could wait.

Eventually, at the four monotonous and boring days, my brother finally woke up the next morning all energized, without any more headaches too.

At this point, he had already been introduced to everyone in between his meals and whenever

I had to wash him.

"T-Thank you for taking care of me so far, I don't know how I could ever repay you all..."
