Azil had come to return the book she borrowed " book return please."

" You're quick . Faster than big sis." Hizuya approached the desk.

Azil ; hizuya. You knew already. Athelian told you ?

Hizuya ; he did. Told me to keep it a secret. But I wanted you to know I knew. Hence the book.

Athelian spoke from above " Azil. That face is so fake. Hizuya bring her up for a cup of tea. I want to investigate that face"

________________________________

Hizuya ; I didn't think the book would be useful. Just wanted to tell her about you.

Athelian ; take off the face already.

So she does " there. "

Athelian ; you can talk at ease. No one would know.

Hizuya: you're unlike big sis. You use everything around you. Big sis takes what she needs.

She shrugged " all trade gods are different. "

Hizuya : But since Inna is already working under you, why still use this face?

Nanalise ; I don't want nazuya's business to drop. Also... I don't want people to know I'm semi alive. Trouble always finds me.

Hizuya : haha. True. Have you seen Azeya yet ?

Nanalise ; you've always been the detailed one. I have. With my real face.

Hizuya : wait... You stay with Azelin. So do you know about azeya's...

Nanalise ; I do. Don't worry. Hizuya. ... Sorry.

Hizuya: huh ?

Nanalise ; I was gone...

Athelian ; you could have been dead. No, you might as well have been declared dead.

Hizuya ; boss !!

Athelian ; what ? It's true. If it was, I could have a cool new recording.

Nanalise: what cool new recording? I could have died.

Hizuya ; he means a death of a trade god that revealed no omen.

Nanalise: oh. Sorry to disappoint you . *Rolls eyes*

Athelian ; talk to your mom. She's as annoying as I remember.

Hizuya : don't apologise. Boss is right. You could have been gone forever. At least the three of us had time with you. Azeya... She didn't. She sometimes ask me to bring books back from this library to read about you.

Nanalise: Azeya...

Hizuya ; we're all grown up and can do our own things. Azeya... She needs you. Also... I think she and papa has a gap. Papa rarely came to visit her at grandma's house.

Nanalise ; .... It's because of me... She reminded him of me... Right ?

Hizuya ; ... Um... She was born in that period... It reminded him of your death.

Nanalise ; I see... Athelian !

Athelian ; what ?!

Nanalise ; my papa's last words. You recorded them ?

Athelian: .... Hizuya.

Hizuya : how did you know papa would have last words for you ?

Nanalise: .... He only gave me one deal of his before he left. I feel like... There's something more he wants me to do...

Hizuya ; his last words are... Tell nanalise Endless Night abyss. I have done everything I can. Sorry this has to fall on you.

Nanalise: .... I don't understand what that means...

Hizuya: no one is allowed inside . Not even the army. They just fight at the borders.

Nanalise: got it.

Hizuya goes over and hugs her " you're back. If I ask you not to die again... Is that too unrealistic ? "

Nanalise: sorry... Hizuya.

Viera: oh. Little girl. You're here. Alive.

Kageya: don't worry . I'll make him divorce that demon.

Izuya : I already did

Kageya: hmph ! You... Doing ok ? Little girl.

Nanalise : I'm not a full me. Just 1/5 ... Survivable.

Viera : Azeya. I'll call Azeya.

Azeya had returned from school " grandmom ! Mama !! You came !! " She hugs her.

It was two little people hugging each other. Everyone laughed a little.

Azeya ; you won't leave ?

Nanalise : I'm here to see you

Viera ; wait. How come Azeya knows you're her mother ?

Azeya ; uncle Azelin brought me back to his home to do training. I saw mama there.

Kageya : so she's the first one to know you're alive. Other than Azelin.

Azeya ; mama wanted me to keep a secret. Oh no. Now everyone knows.

Izuya ; it's ok. We all know. Just maybe don't tell anyone yet. It's our family secret.

Azeya ; I see. Ssshhh ...

Nanalise: you want to come home with me ? Mama and papa.

Azeya looks to her grandparents. Viera nodded.

Azeya ; granddad will miss me ?

Kageya : just go. When you come back , just remember to come find me first.

" Ok !! " She held onto nanalise's hand and izuya's hand.

________________________________

Nanalise waited as the servants carried azeya's things into the carriage . Izuya and Azeya were already in the carriage waiting.

Viera : Azelin told you about azeya's situation yet ?

Nanalise ; um. Told me. She can use shadow flames. Like izuya. But not the way like how izuya uses it.

Viera ; when you hugged her just now...

Nanalise: you and Dad kageya have been monitoring izuya when he was a kid. You must have used the same technique to monitor Azeya.

Viera ; it's stable. She's a full demon. A huge skip gap inheritance from me. But ....izuya only have those flames when he's angry... I'm fire... Kageya is shadow... We don't understand how Azeya can...

Nanalise : she's a full demon like you said. Probably just inherited both from izuya like he did from both of you. But for her it's her own ability because it's not the same like izuya's.

Viera ; not the same ?
