23 Your Name Shall Be Lily (2/2)

***

I was floating… spinning slowly, yet out of control. A hazy white light was radiating my darkened face. Amidst the hazy white light, I see a white shadow of a figure.

The hazy figure had the physic of a little girl that makes me feels I had forgotten something. I tried to stick out my hand but to no avail as the calm of the light suddenly changed into darkness.

'I was falling!' that was what I feel when I see the hazy light became farther and farther and the light completely gone from my innermost vision.

I sat up in bed, panting hard and looking around my room frantically to make sure it had just been a dream.

'Where am I? The last thing I remember was getting encircled by a countless of hideous plant monster.' I thought as I gaze at the place around me.

Seeing that I was awake, the pure girl eyes seem to brighten and she seems to say something,

”#######”

”Ah fuck! This language barrier…” I cursed as an 'Assistance Drone Robot' came and start to translate it.

”I'm glad that you are okay…” She wasn't wary of me anymore unlike the first time I met her at the Biological Chamber.

”Did you save me?” I asked as I remember the strange light that appears right before I lost consciousness.

As to answer my question, she vaguely nods then shake her head before saying,

”I don't know.” She tilts her head innocently and cutely.

Seeing it, I want to rub her head but then hold myself as that wasn't appropriate. Her pureness and innocents make me think of something.

”You said that you don't remember anything of your past, even a name or identity?” Hearing what I asked, she nods her head in confirmation.

”Then, I will give you a name. Is it fine for you?”

”Yes!!” She smiled cheerfully in agreement.

”Your name shall be Lily then; it means purity and innocent as well as beauty,” I told her name after confirming the most fit name for her.

She then happily accepts the name I give and said,

”From now on my name shall be Lily! I will stay with you forever!”

I nod in confirmation while ignoring half of the sentence she just said.

”Good.” After I said that, I became curious about her mystical power and decided to ask Vonix about it.

”Vonix, could you scan her and determine the reason for the abrupt teleportation?”

[”I will try, Scanning Initiate…. Scanning Completed…. From the data gathered, it was indicated that she wasn't completely human. Insufficient Data… Error… The lack of knowledge couldn't determine what she is. As for the teleportation problem, it might be caused by her left eye and her unstable emotion… Need further information for confirmation.] Vonix replied confusedly in a reporting man voice.

”Hmm??? Even the knowledge that we got from the gloomy Magus Apprentice before seems to not have any clue? I guess we need to increase the database by the notes and book from the Ancient Magus Tower that we got from the expedition, it might have something to do with her… no, it must! Vonix, translate all of it and add it to the database!” I commanded as I was quite surprised by the insufficient knowledge.

”Also prepare the foreign language of her and Ancient Language to be transferred to me from the simulation pod at the Mind Chamber… using translation is a bother…” I added.

[”Affirmative!”]

Just then, I asked Lily whether she want to learn Common Language with me or not. She agreed innocently with a beaming smile.

'rumble..' A sound of stomach rumbling suddenly heard from Lily's stomach. She blushes red when I noticed that.

Although she had been given a liquid food before to repair her stomach so that it could function as normal and digest hard food, liquid food wasn't effective to satiate hunger in the long run.

”Ahh… You haven't properly eaten yet, let's eat first before going.” Then I bring her to the dining hall at the base and let a robot to serve us some food.

The cooking at the base was much better than the one at the mansion. It was made by a robot hand automatically so it almost didn't have any flaw when cooking.

As the ingredients were still limited, I decided to had the robot make a cheesy chicken steak with eggs and an exquisite bread which was better than even the white bread. As for the drink, I decided to have some strawberry juice for her and tea for me. Sadly, there is no lemon in the surrounding territory, I really miss lemon tea.

In here, I realize that she was a glutton. She ate all of the food swiftly before I even finished a quarter of mine. Seeing that, I could only make out a wry smile and give her a second portion.

Only by her fifth portion does she finally stop eating with a satisfied expression. Her pure and innocent aura with her glutton was for some reason resemble a gap moe.

'Well, it was after all her first meal after more than a millennium…'

After finished eating, I go to the Mind Chamber with Lily to get the various languages imported to us.
