Saved By Little Man

Sadie was at home, taking care of her chores. Losing herself in memories. Thinking back on the worst day of her life, and at the same time the beginning of my new life goes back over ten years ago. Memories of her adoptive parents. 

The heroine, who was called the Great Healer, hugged me tight as she said "I can’t leave this girl … at the institute. I’ll take her in!!"

I was still a young, fresh-thinking child, and I was terrified when the Demon King’s Army destroyed my village, my parents were killed in front of me, and that I would soon be dead. 

However, just as I was about to be killed, someone saved me at the last minute. One of the seven heroes. Akari the Healer.

The one who saved me, hugged me and cried saying, "Sorry, I’m sorry I didn’t make it sooner".

She’s not to blame for anything. She’s, my lifesaver. Rather, I should thank you. However, I couldn’t accept the death of my parents, who I loved, and I just kept crying. 

I was saved. But my family is no longer here. The moment I knew that I felt I was alone in this world, and I trembled at my solitude. 

At that time, she said, "Let’s stay together" without handing me over, where war orphans were originally left in the care of the Empire or some orphanage.

"I will be Sadie’s family. So, let’s stay together."

I shed tears then and jumped into her chest. I’m not alone. We were not related by blood, but this entity that seemed like an elder sister or a mother, saved me.

She didn’t let me go even after the war. She lived with me as if it was only natural to live together. 

Everyone wanted to marry Akari the Healer, and Heero the Great Hero.

They were still two teenagers, a young couple, but with no one opposed to their marriage, everyone approved at the time, yet Akari gave priority to me who was still young.

It made me glad, but I felt guilty, and I wanted her to be happy. I don’t want you to put your happiness on hold for my sake anymore.

With that in mind, and I consulted with Sir Heero, and as a result, it was decided that I would continue living with them as the adopted child of two married people. I was reluctant to live with two newlyweds who didn’t share blood.

"Huh? Don’t be silly! You’re our family! You live with me! That is the decision! Otherwise, I’ll drop the marriage!"

I shed tears again. That’s where our lives began. However, life with only three people ended unexpectedly early. 

"Hey, Sadie. You want to hold him? He’s our new family?"

A new budding life. Small, soft, delicate enough to break, but when you hold it up, it’s heavy, warm.

"Uh, he cried when I he was in my arms, but when Sadie held him, he stopped crying!"

That little life squeezed the fingers that I held out, squeaking ‘Egu, Ee Ni~" 

Sadiie shocked, "Huh!? "

The baby had a broad smile on its face and was laughing. I loved it unconditionally from the bottom of my heart.

I’ll protect this child. It’s mine. It’s my family. I’m not going to give it to anyone.

As a young child, I felt it was my mission to continue to protect this child for the rest of my life, not to give back. Ever since then, me and the baby were firmly attached.

"Hey~, Sadie~, let me hold Terran too~."

"No. Master Heero is clumsy. Sadie is best for the little man."

"Awww, just a bit, just a little, just a little bit~."

"No good. I’ll not hand over little man. Master will not be forgiven for making little man cry."

It was more a monopoly rather than attachment. 

"Gah, once you mess up with Sadie, it’s over. I’m also concerned about Terran's future. Terran seems to love Sadie, too."

"Little man~, nuzzle-nuzzle~"

"Kya, Kyao"

"See, Terran also loves Sadie."

"Mufufu~♪, Little man, that is my boob, naughty. Yes, you are~."

"Kya"

"Excuse me! You can’t just leave yet!"

I’m happy every day that I get to raise and love my little man. That thoughtful little man was so cute, and grew up with brim of vigor.

"Thaddith, you know, you know, i’ll be Thadie, Be Bride."

"Little man, you want me to be an honorable wife. It's so cute~."

"U~, na-na-, Thadie- is my bride~!"

"Oh, you’re a crybaby, aren’t you~? I don’t want to be a crybaby’s bride~"

Little man also really loves me. All the terrifying memories of my childhood disappeared. Memories of a later age flood her mind. 

"Sadie, you got into the academy"

"Yeah."

"Then? anymore, means you can’t play."

Little man seems lonely and a bit sour. So cute!

Another special day. On the day of my Academy Graduation Ceremony, he gave me a bouquet of flowers bought with his pocket money. He was only 11 years old.

"Sadie! Umm… Congratulations on your graduation from the Academy."

"Well, little man. Thank you very much. Nice bouquet. I’m so happy."

"Yeah"

"Oh, what’s going on? Why so down, are you feeling well?"

"Umm… Sadie graduated and became a warrior and became a grownup. Sadie, are you leaving?"

He had a lonely face as he asked about my circumstances.

Yes, until I’m a full-fledged adult. That’s how I thought my path would go. However, when I looked into little man’s teary eyes, I made up my mind.

"No, I’m not going anywhere, am I? I’ll always be with Lil’ Terran."

‘Really! All right!’

At that moment, I had a nosebleed. Yes, instead of becoming an Imperial Knight, I became little man’s full-time caretaker

Really, Little man back then…

"Sadie~, let’s pla… eh."

"Oh, just a minute, little man. I’m changing right now"

One day, he happened to see me changing clothes.

I’m in my underwear and I’m blushing; he’s awkwardly looking as I flutter. That’s right, the moment of sexual awakening for little man! 

"Ah…. Sadie, sorry."

‘No. Rather, if you’re apologizing, don’t look at me, okay? This topic is still too early for little man.’

Little man. My cute boy.

Since then, I’ve found that the little man gradually became interested in things like that and became a man.

I’m tactless. I occasionally think I’m just a troublesome woman that the boy will get tired of me. I don’t know how to respond to the cute, loving little boy’s feelings towards me. That’s why, I play moderately mean tricks on him.

For example…

"Kya, pervy breeze-, my~ skirt~ will get turned up~ Little man"

"Heh, Sadie!"

"Ufu♡ Ufufufufufufu, aw~, that was dangerous. Under the skirt, if wore panties instead of these shorts, you could have seen them. It was in full view."

"~eh"

"Ooh? Hey, hey, heeey~! What’s wrong~ Little man~? Was that arousing? Hey, hey, hey. I must report this to the Madam. Naughty~ Little man~♡"

"Damnit, Sadie you dummy!"

A sullen face. A tearful face. No matter what your emotions, they will hit me with the true feelings of the boy. Every time I feel glee. Oh, I’m special to him. I have to be here.

"Fufufu, sorry, Little man♪."

I am a happy person. Immediately after I realized, I certainly was unhappy. I lost my beloved parents in front of me. But I’ve already forgotten that tragic past—–

——-Continental Collapse Magic is it. The absurdity of the magical city to envision the fall of the demon world with such excessive force.

“Heh!?”

——-The work you reside over can no longer be pardoned… As such, I shall destroy you myself.

Ah, what did I looked too far back into the past. I want to seal it deep in my memory. Until the past I want to erase it.

The only worry is that, when you reminisce on your happy days, you may also bring back the trauma of the past, which is naturally bitter and painful.

—Great Demon Spiral. Devil Spiral Break–

Memories of my childhood. Suddenly, a huge tornado-like swirl hit my hometown as the Demon Army invaded. 

Most humans were engulfed in the swirl, their whole bodies were cut into pieces, and thousands of pieces of human flesh and blood rain fell across the country.

I remember. Dad. Mom. The moment when they were hoisted and torn apart in the sky is still vivid!!

Terran called out, “I’m home.”

Awoken from her nightmare, “Heh!? Little man?" 

Terran seeing Sadie distraught, “Hmm? What’s up, Sadie. With a scary face”

Sadie shook it off mentally and said, “Oh, no. It’s nothing.”

I still have a long way to go. I didn’t even realize that little man was back. And I was saved.

Just remembering that day darkens my mind and makes me feel overwhelming fear.

The doctor said that it was post-traumatic stress disorder, but I haven’t yet been able to overcome it after more than a decade.

Sadie observed what Terran was up to, said “Even so, little man. You bought a lot of books. Even if it’s a camouflage to hide an ero-book”

Terran replied, “Don’t mess around”

Sadie notice something on Terran's face, “Oh my, hmmm?”

Terran confused, asked “What is it?”

At that time, I felt something strange in Little Man’s eyes when he came back, like the eyes were sharp or his eyes are tired or twitchy. He may have come back from reading a novel somewhere, but it's weird that his eyes getting tired from only reading a book.

It was then. A sudden wind blew without any warning.

It had the exquisite force to sweep up the dust and fallen leaves that were being cleaned, and to fly my scarf which had loosened its knot but is not harmful to the human body, and to roll up the skirt.

Girls called this wind, the so-called pervy breeze. At this exact the time. Don’t! I’m also washing my clothes, so today I’m only wearing cheap, childish kitty panties.

I panic “Yah!”

The content of my skirt that has turned up is out in the open. There is no way that little man could not immediately see them. However, that little man jumped and caught my scarf that was about to be blown away by the wind.

Terran said, “Here, Sadie.”

Sadie blushed, and said, “Ah, umm, th-thank you very much.”

And, Little man hands the scarf to me with a proud face. I was puzzled by that face.

Even if they were childish cheap panties, did little man not notice? In the past, he would have ignored anything else around me and stared at the panties.

Terran decided to enter the house, said, “Well, I’ll be reading a book in my room before dinner.”

Sadie replied, “Y-yes. I understand.”

Saying so, little man returned to his room. For a moment I felt the true gentleman from Terran. Since he started declaring victory in the Graduation Commemorative Match, something seems difference with little man.

Little man has been talking to himself a bit more often, talking about his new ability. “The results of Magical Speed Reading. It was brief, but it’s scary. I also got a sudden photo opportunity. The amount of dust and leaves scattered. Also putting the scarf that flew into perspective. Permanently stored in the brain! The navel, the legs, those, and a slightly embarrassed face all at once. I will never forget it for the rest of my life.”
