"Have you seen anything new?" Shai asked
"No. Not yet" Yuzu said
"Nothing has appeared yet..." Ortho said
"Should we take a break?" Shai asked
"Probably for the best. I mean it'll be okay to take a small break. If we overwork ourselves then we'll probably be tired the entire time" Yuzu said
"Right" Ortho said
"Maybe we should get something to eat" Shai said
"Our kids must be worried..." Yuzu said
"See ya around" Ortho said as he walked away
"Bye Ortho" Yuzu said
"Have a nice day" Shai said
"Well time to head back. We'll talk soon okay" Yuzu said
"Alright" Shai said and left. Yuzu only sighed before heading back to her Kingdom using her flames. She got to her Kingdom and soon entered inside
"Ah! Your highness you're back" The maid said
"Mom!" The girls exclaimed and soon Yuzu was tackled by her two girls
"Ah!" Yuzu exclaimed and fell to the ground
"Mom! Where were you?!" Yua exclaimed
"U-uhm girls wa-"
"I prepared my first breakfast, mom! And you weren't here to eat it!" Miyagi said
"G-girls...please calm down" Yuzu said
"Girls, get off of your mother please" Mei said as she stepped in
"Th-thanks Mei" Yuzu said nervously as the girls got off of her. Yuzu sighed and stood back up
"Mom!" Yua whined
"Relax Yua and Miyagi. Your mother needed to work hard" Mei said as she patted both the girls head
"Look I promise that I'll be here next time you two prepare something" Yuzu said
"You missed it mom" Miyagi said and pouted. Yuzu sighed softly and patted her head softly
"Would you like me to teach you spicy curry?" Yuzu asked
"Please" Miyagi said
"That's easy" Yua said
"Yua no" Mei said
"Sorry mom" Yua said as she smiled
"Anyways how about we play?" Yuzu asked as she smiled
"Yes!" Yua said as she smiled. Yuzu followed her daughters who took her to their room to spend time with her daughters. Mei followed them and arrived at the room where Yua had a castle
"Eh? You built this?" Yuzu asked
"Yeah! I built it! I've been thinking about a few changes in this castle" Yua said
"Unfortunately I'll be the next heir" Miyagi said
"You're just older than me by a few months" Yua said
"And? I'm still older" Miyagi said
"I deserve to be the next Queen" Yua said
"You're childish. You won't be able to help this Kingdom" Miyagi said
"I sure can! Better than you!" Yua said
"Girls please calm down. Listen both of you will get a chance to lead but first you need to grow up and learn about the responsibilities of the Kingdom. Just because you're a Queen doesn't mean you get to do whatever you want. You have to take the role and become a leader. You have to take care of everyone in the Kingdom including our allies" Mei said
"Uh...on second thought...Miyagi why not become the Queen?" Yua said as she smiled nervously
"Thought so...you can't do it" Miyagi said
"Miyagi, there is no need to be harsh towards your sister" Yuzu said as she used her stern tone
"Forgive me mother" Miyagi said
"You two are sisters and should love each other always no matter what" Mei said
"I love my sister so it's okay. I'm cool with her insults" Yua said
"Quiet please" Miyagi said
"You're right! I want to create a big dragon and attack the castle" Yua said
"Wait...why on earth would you attack your own castle?" Yuzu asked
"For fun and because Miyagi will be the one defending the Kingdom" Yua said as a couple of sparks appeared on her palms and soon a small dragon flew around
"Wow you're really improving your magic" Yuzu said
"I still have a lot left to learn. Grandma has been teaching me new things everyday and-ah! Where is grandma?" Yua asked
"Your grandma is pretty busy at the moment. She has been checking up on a few things around the castle" Yuzu said
"Can we help her?" Yua asked
"It's grown up stuff dear. You'll probably be bored" Yuzu said
"Yeah that sounds boring" Yua said
"Besides you can't handle one chore" Miaygi said. Yua only looked at her and pointed at the castle
"Attack!" Yua said and soon her flying dragon flew towards the castle as it started to throw flames
"My guards will protect them" Miyagi said as she snapped her fingers sending an army towards the dragon
"You girls seriously enjoy playing with your magic" Yuzu said
"That must explain the small creatures in the basement" Mei said
"Sorry mama. Miyagi and I didn't quite cleaned up our mess when we started playing" Yua said
"Your dragon is down..." Yuzu said
"Eh?! Miyagi!" Yua said as she whined
"I'm just protecting my Kingdom" Miyagi said
"Mom, mind giving me a hand?" Yua asked
"That's not fair. Remember the rules of the game?" Miyagi asked
"Fuck the rules" Yua said
"Yua!" Mei said slightly raising her voice which startled Yua
"A-ah I meant...that the rules are nice and yes we should f-follow them" Yua said slightly nervous
"Your highness?" The maid asked as she knocked on the door. Yuzu looked up and stood up
"Yes?" Yuzu asked
"Your mother is looking for you" The maid said
"Huh? She is? Oh uhm...sorry girls. I'll be right back to watch your game and play. I'll be back Mei" Yuzu said as she kissed her and left heading out the room. Yuzu followed the maid and saw her mother
"Mom is everything okay?" Yuzu asked
"The areas have been checked and there is nothing wrong but uhm..." Ume paused and looked slightly nervous which scared Yuzu a bit
"Mom...what's wrong?" Yuzu asked. Ume remained silent for a few seconds and took a deep breath
"Listen Yuzu...after talking with Mizusawa uh...we found out about something else. Has Matsuri ever told you about...the first corrupted child?" Ume asked
"Huh? Are you talking about her grandmother's sister? Yes. Matsuri has told us about her and her story or...well the story her mother told her" Yuzu said
"About that...I'm afraid she will come back" Ume said
"H-huh? Wait...what are you saying?" Yuzu asked
"...I'm saying that...the corrupted child is coming back for her throne" Ume said

"Uh...Fuyuhime?" Shai asked
"Hm?" Fuyuhime asked
"Is this necessary?" Shai asked
"Yes" Fuyuhime said
"But why on earth did it have to be this?" Shai asked
"To make Sachie happy" Fuyuhime said
"Hm?" Himeko asked as she appeared by the door
"Hey mama" Fuyuhime said as she smiled
"Sweetie, what are you doing?" Himeko asked
"Making a gift for Sachie. She needs it to feel better" Fuyuhime said
"Uhm...but there is no need to create a sculpture" Shai said as she poked the heart
"It'll be a perfect! Also please don't touch it..." Fuyuhime said as she tried to protect her heart sculpture
"That's a nice gift sweetie" Himeko said as she stepped inside the room
"I have been working on it all week and it's finally done" Fuyuhime said. She jumped as Lady barked and ran up to Fuyuhime
"Ah! Lady don't!" Fuyuhime said as she grabbed her and pulled her away from the heart sculpture
"She wants to go outside" Shai said as she knelt down and petted the dog softly
"Is it okay to go outside?" Fuyuhime asked and stood up carrying Lady
"We can go outside together" Himeko said as she patted her head softly
"Okay but first I have to protect my sculpture. It is a work of art and Sachie's gift" Fuyuhime said
"Don't worry Fuyuhime. It'll be okay" Himeko said
"No one will break it?" Fuyuhime asked
"No worries. They won't" Shai said. Lady barked as she wagged her tail rapidly and licked Fuyuhime's cheek
"Okay okay. We're going to take you outside" Fuyuhime said as she petted her softly and put her down
"Wait Lady!" Fuyuhime said as she rushed out to chase right after her pet. Shai smiled and held Himeko's hand
"Let's go baby" Shai said as she leaned in and kissed her cheek. Himeko blushed and followed Shai heading out of the room then walked to the entrance of the castle
"Come on Lady" Fuyuhime said as she tried to put her leash on. Lady licked her hand and whined a bit
"Okay. We're heading out" Fuyuhime said
"Alright. Now let's head outside" Shai said as she held Himeko's hand before stepping out. Fuyuhime held onto the leash as she walked Lady around the village
"Mama! Can I get some sweets for Sachie?" Fuyuhime asked
"Later sweetie okay?" Himeko said
"Okay" Fuyuhime said and saw a young man in front of her
"Ah hey there little Momokino-san" Sen said
"...hi" Fuyuhime said and walked pass him
"Oh hey Sen. It's been a while" Himeko said
"Yeah these past few weeks have been hard to deal with..." Sen said as he chuckled softly. Shai only stared at him and kept smiling
'Should we end him?'
You are a horrible person...
'I am you dumbass. So you're a horrible person too...'
"So how has your day been? Anything new lately?" Sen asked
"No. Nothing at all" Himeko said
"You wanted some fresh air right?" Sen asked
"Hehe yeah. I've been stuck in the castle for a while now. It's time for me to step outside for a bit. Besides Fuyuhime needed to take Lady for a walk" Himeko said
"Heh I remember you kept whining to your parents for a puppy" Sen said as he laughed softly
"I'm not a kid anymore" Himeko said as she looked aaay
"Hehe yep" Sen said. Shai only watched them before walking away and went to Fuyuhime who was petting Lady
"Mom, I need treats for Lady" Fuyuhime said
"Sure sweetie but...does she even eat?" Shai asked
"Yes" Fuyuhime said and held her mother's hand
"We'll be off to the markets" Shai said
"Ah okay" Himeko said and Shai walked away with Fuyuhime
"Mom is jealous" Fuyuhime giggled
"Eh? Wait what?" Shai asked
"Mom it's okay to admit jealousy. You don't like it when mama is with that guy' Fuyuhime said
"Th-that's not true" Shai said and trembled a bit
"Mom...I can tell your other you wants to kill him" Fuyuhime said
"L-let's just get Lady her treats and don't say that out loud. You'll scare people..." Shai said
"But these hoes are all over you. They know you're somewhat of a killer but they still like you...and it's gross" Fuyuhime said
"Uh...let's just stop talking about this" Shai said. Lady barked and kept walking as she sniffed a few things around the market. Shai and her daughter got to a market to buy Lady's treats
"Alright Lady calm down. You must sit and behave properly" Fuyuhime said as she held the bag
"I don't think you'll be able to train her everything in one day" Shai said
"Just watch me and you'll see how good I am" Fuyuhime said as she held out a treat but Lady ate it instantly
"Ah! Lady sit!" Fuyuhime said and Lady only wagged her tail rapidly
"Aww she just wants to have fun" Shai said as she knelt down and played with her fur. Lady only panted softly and barked softly
"She won't listen" Fuyuhime said
"Oh relax. It'll take some time...either way Lady is uh...you know she isn't any ordinary dog" Shai said
"That's why I want her to behave. So everyone can get jealous and see that even I can tame a magical creature" Fuyuhime giggled
"Like mother like daughter..." Shai mumbled
"Huh?" Fuyuhime asked
"Nothing sweetie. Let's try and teach Lady a few small tricks" Shai said
"Yay!" Fuyuhime said and Lady jumped up as well
"Shaiii!" She heard someone call. Shai groaned and jumped as she felt someone hug her from behind
"Ahhh! No! Let go!" Shai said and Diane laughed softly
"Your reactions are funny. Hi there Fuyuhime" Diane said
"Mm...hello" Fuyuhime said coldly not even making eye contact with her
"Eh? Why is she so cold? Do they hate me that much?" Diane asked as she pouted
"Yes" Himeko said as she appeared out of nowhere startling Shai
"Ah! H-hey Diane. That's not true. Th-they just uh...well they are just uh...okay fine they do hate you" Shai said
"I understand why she hates me but why your daughter?" Diane asked
"Genetics" Shai said and Himeko kicked her leg
"Mm! H-hey..." Shai said and Himeko grabbed her ear
"Wah! If you're that jealous then just say so but stop hurting me!" Shai whimpered
"If you're still onto that then I apologise for trying to kiss your wife. I was drunk remember?" Diane said
"You get out of here before I chop your head off" Himeko said sternly
"Oh fuck...see ya Shai!" Diane said before running away
"Can I chop heads off?" Fuyuhime asked
"No until your Queen" Himeko said
"You guys are scary..." Shai said as she rubbed her ear
Why did I fall for her again?
'I have no clue at all...you big dumbass'
