Chapter 4

(Dante's pov)

Hours have passed and I start waking up when I start seeing a pair of arms wrapped around my neck. I opened my eyes wide and I see Yumi sleeping next to me in a bikini. Part of me says "Score!" While the other screaming like Jack Black shouting "What the fuck?!". I was kind of intimidated cause of her muscles on her body...let me give you a brief description on that. You know how in the magazines where they show a woman fit with a slim body but has nice abdominal muscles and muscles on the arms(not godly muscles like a amazons.)? Yeah...that's how built Yumi is. Damn...I envy the Hylotls for that...I don't even have the amount of muscles(average sadly.) as them.

I couldn't even budge cause of the strength she has. But as if she knew what's going on, she held me close as she whispered...

"Leaving, Dante-kun?"

I looked at her face and there's that feral grin she had...

"N-No. I'm surprised to see you sleeping with me." I said truthfully.

"Oh? Is that so?"

She gets on top of me as she pins me down to the floor with her strength...

"Then I should be sure that you stay where you are."

Oh no...

"Um...I get where this going but...um...can we take it slow?"

She grins more...

"What does it look like?"

To prove her point, she kisses me deeply in the mouth as her body presses on mine. Thankfully this was all we did all night and it was kissing and the occasional groping...when the sun was rising, she finally stops as she got off me as I look at her with a smile.

"That was...something."

"Heh...you don't say. But enough about that. My father is probably here and will no doubt would want to talk to you about the incident." She said as she got on her kimono.

"Right." I sighed.

When I got off the ground, the pain has finally subsided thanks to the stimpacks I got injected with(now I'm no doctor but I'm pretty sure it has minor side effects like headaches, drowsiness or dizziness from having too much injections of stimpacks.).

"Feeling better?" Yumi asks me.

"Yeah. Those stimpacks really did the trick." I chuckled.

"Good." She smiled.

We went out the room and...oh shit...

"Otōsan(Father). Welcome back." Yumi bows.

...

...

...

Sorry. I got intimidated from what I saw for a minute. Her father is as I feared. Shirtless, seriously built like a professional fighter or a wrestler, has his hakama pants, sandals, a huge katana behind him (it's a nodachi cause it is really long.) and has an impressive feudal era tattoo on his back that shows him cleaving a group of Florans with his katana with a look of determination on his face(Guess he holds a grudge on the Florans.). His demeanor says "Don't fuck with me or I'll put your ass to the ground." while his expression looks relived to see Yumi and Miyu.

He sees me and slowly nods.

"Dante...I thank you for protecting my daughters from danger." He said with a calm tone in his voice.

"It's what peacekeepers like myself are born to do, sir." I smiled.

He smirks a bit...

"Please...call me Keiji."

"Of course, si-I mean Keiji." I said as I sat down with Yumi as Miyu served us Miso soup.

A few minutes later, Keiji started getting real serious...and I mean a man who wants answer and wants them now.

"Now...Dante. tell me...what has happened in Earth that caused the planet to be destroyed."

"Let's see...where do I start...okay...it was the day of graduation where the peacekeepers such as myself were getting Manipulators as full fledged peacekeepers."

"You were students?" He asks me.

"Pretty much. I was the last to get my Manipulator...when it happened. Tentacles emerged from the ground grabbing anything alive and kill them in the process. Me, Yumi, Miyu and two of my friends managed to helped the survivors get to safety as much as we could...as of how I got banged up, it's quite simple. We were heading to our escape route when one of the tentacles grabbed Miyu. I took my sword and started attacking it with all my might but it grabbed and started slamming me around like a ragdoll. Yumi cut that thing in half with her katana, got me out of it's grip and we escaped." I sighed earning nods from Miyu and Yumi.

Keiji starts to ponder a bit...then he finally said something that got us interested as Miyu placed the bowls of miso soup on the table.

"Hmm...there is no doubt about it...this is the work of the ruin." Keiji said rather grim.

"The ruin?" I asked acting like I have never heard of it.

This got Yumi and Miyu curious the moment the ruin was mentioned.

"Yeah...my father has told me a tale that goes something like this...many years ago, the ruin appeared seeking destruction and killing all that's life...when suddenly...a guardian sealed the ruin away using the powers of the six race artifacts...when the ruin was sealed...the guardian was no where to be seen...whether the guardian died or mysterious vanished remains a mystery...at least that's how he told me." Keiji said as I frowned a bit.

"So whoever released that thing either is a lunatic or a fucking moron thinking that things will go their way."

Miyu and Yumi looked at me with shock to hear me swear like that while Keiji kept that serious look on his face...

"...Sorry...I'm still mad that I lost my home to something that came from the ground." I sighed deeply as I closed my eyes for a bit.

"My condolences...but perhaps you are correct...perhaps someone was foolish enough to release the ruin from the seal for foolish purposes...but enough about the ruin...for now...let us relax and be at peace." Keiji said rather calm.

I nod slightly...about 30 minutes later...I decided to talk about the tattoo on Keiji's back...he smirked with cockyness...

"What you see of the tattoo actually happened. See...it was during the time Yumi and Miyu were just little kids...they were playing outside of the house when a small Floran hunting party decided to hunt in this planet. They saw my kids as easy prey but they weren't expected me to kill them with ease."

"Father always watched us so that nothing would happen to them. Always carried his blade whenever danger would come." Yumi adds.

Now that's what I call a protective father...

"Floran hunting parties still come here?" I asked them with worry.

"Nah...I'm pretty sure their leader got the message not to mess with me or my family. Haven't encountered them for a very long time." His smirk widens.

Huh...that's...something...

"...Kind of explains why Miyu and Yumi were paranoid with the civilized Florans." I said as I was eating a bit of the miso soup.

Keiji looked at me shocked when I said that.

"Did I hear that correctly? Civilized Florans?" Keiji asked with disbelief.

"Yup. Met them myself. They weren't a bunch of savages during my time at the academy. Sure some of them talk like the Florans from their tribes but they aren't savages nor are they a bunch of murderers. They were pretty much well behaved when I met them."

"Huh...that's...something." Keiji said trying to put two and two together.

He pauses for a minute changing the subject...when we finished eating our miso soup when Keiji asked me...

"What will you do now?"

"Don't know. My ship is destroyed so I guess I'm stuck with Yumi and Miyu for the time being." I sighed.

He nods slightly.

"I understand...make yourself at home...and stay out of trouble."

"Of course, Keiji...and thank you." I nod slowly.

"...No...I should be thanking you. If my lovely daughters didn't survived, I would end my own life..."

"Father...don't say such things." Miyu looked at Keiji with a neutral tone.

"I know...it's that you two are precious to me...I can't bear to lose you two." He sighs deeply.

"We understand but ending your own life is something we wouldn't want you to do." Yumi frowns a bit.

Keiji didn't say a word for a while...when he finished his miso soup, he starts finishing his green tea and gets up saying...

"I best be off. And Dante? Be sure my little girls are safe." Keiji tells me with a serious tone as he picks up his blade while earning slight eye rolls from Yumi and Miyu.

"Don't worry, Keiji. I didn't sign up as peacekeeper to play victim. I signed up to protect people." I said with a serious tone while earning a nod from Keiji.

"Good."

"Say to hi to Okaa-san (mother) for us." Miyu smiled.

"Of course." Keiji chuckled.

He leaves as I finished my miso soup when Yumi sighs and finishing her tea...but maybe ten minutes Miyu asked Yumi this...

"Sis...what were you doing in Dante's room?"

I can see why she asked later cause if Keiji heard that, he would lose his shit.

"I...um...I..." Yumi stammers.

It suddenly clicked in Miyu's mind...

"You didn't..." Miyu said with her eyes a bit wide.

"Whoa there. We only...kissed. that's it. I'm not one to rush a relationship to the next level unless we were ready. Yumi knows that." I blushed.

Miyu looked at me...then at Yumi earning a slight nod from Yumi...

"Was that really necessary, sis?" Miyu crosses her arms.

"I thought he needed some company...so I...decided to...keep him company."

"In a bikini!" I faked cough to the left.

Now that got Miyu flustered...but she said something I didn't expect.

"You could've waited so I could get involved."

...What? ...WHHHAAAAT?!

"Heh...next time, sis." Yumi smirked.

Thanks alot, Yumi. You just motivated Miyu to get involve of a threesome...
