"You need to marry a person from the 12 family, after that you can divorce her and you can finally marry Himari~~!" Arima said with happiness but his face tells the opposite. The look in his face looks like a face of pity, pity for him which makes his blood boil and telling by his face there's more to it than what he had said.

"And...?"

"Oh! Of course you'll catch up Tenma-chan! The thing is I want you to-"

"I want you to bore my child!" Tenma said seriousness lace in his voice

"W-what?!" Mayura ask fluster. Did she hear it right? Tenma is asking her to give birth to his child? Why?

"Give me a heir and everything will be back to normal..." She heard him right. But thinking about it Mayura doesn't want that to happen, imagining what her future family looks like is very different from what Tenma proposing to her. The only father of her child that she can imagine is Shimon, she can't imagine herself being the mother of Tenma's child at all

"What does it have to do with you being with Hikari?!"

"Everything..." Tenma soflty said, love and sadness can be seen through his eyes as the memories came back"

The girl that you're going to marry must give birth a heir for your family. Not just a child, a son! A male baby! Someone who will carry your bloodline and your name!"

"What are you talking about?! Only Himari will be the mother of my children!" Tenma said seething with rage, this is so much why does the price so high?

"You don't have a choice Tenma-chan, this is the only way you can afford" Arima said calmly but deep down inside him, he feel pity on the boy, not being able to marry someone you love just because of a law is really something hard to accept. Tenma sigh accepting his fate that there is no other way than this

"So all I need to do is marry a girl from the 12 family and have her give birth to a heir that's all?" Tenma ask hope rising to his body, maybe he can finally marry Himari after all this mess

"No, that's not all~~! After all this is a very sensitive matter!"

"Once she gave birth a heir for you, you must wait at least 2-3 years before divorcing her. And once you divorce her, you must win the custody of your child! Once you lost the custody, no heir means you can't marry Himari but once you got the custody you can marry Himari! Sounds difficult right? So just forget her already Tenma-chan~~" Arima said smiling. Tenma clench his fist, the price for marrying Himari is high but he really wanted to marry her so there's nothing for him to do but to take this option.

At that day Tenma swear to himself to find someone suitable for his plan and he found her, Amawaka Mayura. Amawaka Seigen's only child and daughter. She's from the 12 family so she can do the part of his plan, so slowly step by step he enacted his plan. He began by greeting her when he "accidentally" bump into her and giving her mitarashi dango if she's around him while eating it. And once he found out that Seigen will finally show Mayura in public as the next head of the Amawaka, he start to pursue her. The only thing he did not expected is when Shimon and Himari enter the picture. He did not see it coming when Shimon and Mayura slowly fall in love to each other and later on, fall into a secret relationship. Tenma know Shimon, he know that he already ask her to be his bride but he still haven't announce it yet so he can void it. But over all Himari is really someone who he did not expect to see, why did she suddenly came back? When he see her with Shimon laughing and Shimon blushing, there's this urge inside him wanting to beat him to death. But he know to himself that he shouldn't do that because Himari will found out about it. Nevertheless he decided to continue his plan but what surprise him more is when the engagement of Himari with the Ame's is announced. And with Ame Yuki of all people, the person he rival with before and now he no longer knew if he shall still continue this or not.

"But I think this is enough... I'm tired already..." He said closing his eyes frustration running through his body. He felt bad now taking Mayura through this mess

"I'm sorry..." He said standing up taking a mitarashi dango in his hand. Mayura eyes wide hearing him apologize, is this true or her ears only playing tricks with her

"W-what?"

"You heard me, I won't say it twice Neko-chan~~" Mayura stand up confusion clearly written in her face as Tenma give her a mitarashi dango and starts to walk away. Startle Mayura hold the sweet, confusion still in her face as she follow Tenma

"Let's go Neko-chan, we'll do something about that freedom of yours. I think this is enough already!"

"What do you mean?" Mayura ask once again the confusion on her face still not leaving as Tenma smirk at her

"Shimon!"

"Rokuro? Why is something the matter?"

"How's Hikari?"

"That girl..." Shimon said with annoyance as Rokuro look at him confuse

"I did not expected her to do this, no wonder why Tenma fall in love with her because they think alike!"

"What exactly happen with Himari, Ikaruga-san?" Benio ask curiosity crept up onto her as she accidentally hear the conversation of the two

"Yeah, what happened Shimon?"

"She... She's pregnant... With Yuki Ame's child..."
