Ok, here is extra chapter. There won't be anymore..gonna focus on the new FF
Thanks for reviews/comment/faves/follows!
Nine years later,
They've moved up a little further from the city, in one small house with big garden surrounding them. A little girl with violet hair and blue eyes running towards the kitchen,
"Mama!" she called her cheerfully.
"Hmm?" Nozomi turned her sight down with a soft smile on her face,
"Papa will come back home, right?" she asked with face full of expectation.
"Hmmm…. I don't know, did your papa promise you?" Nozomi asked as she return to cutting vegetables.
"Papa said, it's hard to predict that, but papa will try!" the little girl replied.
"Then I wouldn't know too… if Papa doesn't promise it then it might not be happen…" Nozomi said.
"Hmm….Ok! Then I'm going to play with doggy!" the little girl said playfully.
"Stop calling your brother 'doggy'…." Nozomi giggled,
And before the little girl running to the backyard, the front door knocked,
"Ahhh! Papa!" she ran backward along with a young white wolf— wearing clothes and trouser running behind her, barking playfully as he follow the girl.
Nozomi only could giggle to them.
Then after a while…
"Aaaa! It's Eve! Run! Run for the sake of your life!" the little girl run away to the backyard along with the small wolf.
"Hey you little goofball! Stop calling me with just name!" Eve yelled from outside.
Nozomi shook her head as she giggled softly.
Eve closed the door and she walks in,
"Coming in…" Eve said as she walks to the kitchen.
"Welcome…." Nozomi said as she keeps on working on her vegetables
"Are they getting along?" Eve asked.
Nozomi giggled,
"They're like a teammate…" Nozomi replied.
Eve smiled slightly,
"Have you thinks of how you will take care of your son? Knowing that his wild-side is still a little hard to control?" Eve asked.
"Hmm… well, as you can see, I let him do whatever he wants during his play time …" Nozomi replied.
Eve remained quiet to listen,
"At his age right now, I believe letting him do whatever he wants would be nice, as long as we keep an eye to what existed around him…" Nozomi added again.
"I see…. that's pretty impressive…" Eve said.
"I'm surprised you're asking about him…" Nozomi said as she continues with putting the vegetables on the pot.
"Well, I already know about how your girl will grow up like— knowing that she have a great mother like you…. but… for your son…. He doesn't have a father figure… right? It must be going to be hard to make him act manly later…" Eve said.
"Being manly isn't about being rude or harsh… if that's what you're talking about… but I can assure you Ericchi is playing that role nicely and she does teach him how to do the private man stuff as well…" Nozomi replied.
"True…and I suppose he will grow as gentle as her too…"
Nozomi giggled,
"He will do fine… we just need to make sure that he do what he wants— we're not raising him to be someone he doesn't want to be…" Nozomi replied.
"You know, I'm really worried if he ended up to be as gaudy as …. You know… George… he is very girly, you know… he don't even know how to man up…"
"Well… that still depend on his surroundings too, right? We're not going to force him… I know George become who he is because he only hangs out with you two… so that's why we let him join school so that he could see the other boys and decide how he wants to be like… Even though I already asked Ericchi to be his example… I still don't think it's going to be working as good as his own experience of browsing for personality…"
"Browsing for personality….? Hmm…" Eve began to think.
"Every creature is like that… they will always try to find their true self by mimicking others until they're comfortable with it. So even if our son is acting like a wolf pup right now, he will eventually try to adapt with us because that's what he sees every day. He already starts using spoon when eating… the next step is to try to make him sit on a chair…" Nozomi said.
"He still not?" Eve asked.
"Hmm…I tried, but he just somehow prefers eating on the ground— but I'm still working on it… everything always have to be done step by step…" Nozomi replied.
"How about restroom? He doesn't burrow his thing on the ground, right?" Eve asked.
"Ah—for that, like I said, Ericchi took care of it…. and… she is very strict about it so… he does it in restroom, like us…." Nozomi said.
"Oh, that's good…"
"When Ericchi is at home, everything just suddenly becomes very quiet and calm… it pains me sometime, but… I can't blame her. They both know about how strict Ericchi is… and they respect her as the owner of the territory…."
"I hope that it doesn't mean that they don't have respect on you…"
"Oh— they have, it just that they won't mind showing their playful side to me and I like it that way too… because after all, I want to provide them comfort as a mother… because the time will keep ticking and life will be a lot tougher… it's true that to be prepared like Ericchi is good, but everyone will always need a time for comfort at some points—and I want to be the one who they approach first when they need it… because I'm their mother…"
Eve smiled,
"I see…. thank you…" she said.
Nozomi giggled,
"How about Meg? I haven't heard about her lately.." Nozomi said.
"She is doing well— even though she is still annoyed, but she is doing a lot of good things after…. Hmm.. after…. your friends began to accept her for real… I'm really glad they don't discriminate her and insisted her to stay alive… For a moment there, I thought, ah, this is over… I know she will try hard to get what she want to get….but then Honoka and Umi twist her fate around, I really didn't expect that..."
"That's their power as Attorney and Prosecutor…" Nozomi said.
"Seriously though, I like the way they made her just getting fined highly and short years of being in jail for helping out Leon, while Leon is still charged as the mastermind of everything, working his ass off to pay his debt... all those chaos will not happen if he isn't greedy and prideful… and Meg will certainly never going to be able to suggest him those twisted things…"
"Like what Ericchi said, the secret of resisting one's charm is to not give in to their suggestion and think more carefully for the future. But in all honesty, Eve, it's God's will… perhaps this is his way to teach Leon a lesson about life… and perhaps this is also a way for God to make us improve ourselves… and also, maybe this is also his way to make every of us successful…" Nozomi said.
"True… you're all moving up so quick ever since those things… not to mention that you're all also embracing what given to you…" Eve said.
Nozomi giggled again,
"There. See? It's all on His will… take it positively…" Nozomi said.
Eve smiled slightly,
"You know, Nozomi… Meg mentioned this before… but, have you ever wish that you're born as one of us?" Eve asked.
"Hmm…. Have I ever…? Don't think so… I'm glad to be born as who I am…" Nozomi said.
"I see…." Eve looks somewhat a little disappointed.
Suddenly, someone knocked the door. Then the little girl and her brother ran out from the backyard,
"That must be papa!" she shouted. Her brother barks cheerfully.
Nozomi and Eve remained quiet as they look at her passing. Then after a moment,
"Not papa! Aaaaaaaaaa!" she ran back again to the backyard with her brother.
And the door knocked again.
"She didn't open the door?" Eve chuckled,
"That must be because the person is still a stranger for her…" Nozomi said as she turns off the stove and hurry up to meet up the visitor…
As Nozomi opened the door, there's Umi, Honoka, and Kotori standing in front of the door.
"Nozomi-chan!" Honoka and Kotori greeted happily.
"Nozomi, good morning…." Umi greeted her politely.
"That was your daughter, right?" Kotori said cheerfully.
"Yup…" Nozomi replied cheerfully.
"Where's your son?" Honoka asked.
"He was behind her…" Nozomi replied.
"Eh…but….he was—…"
And before Honoka finished, Umi quickly put her palm on her face,
"Ah! He is adorable!" Umi said quickly.
Nozomi giggled,
"That he is…" Nozomi replied.
"Ahh...I want to play with him— and your daughter!" Kotori said.
"Go on… they should be in the backyard…" Nozomi said.
"Yay! Coming in!" Kotori quickly ran in.
"Ah—uhm…excuse us…" Umi said as she gets inside with Honoka as well.
They all went to the kitchen after Nozomi closed the door.
"Ah, Eve…." Umi greeted.
"Hi-hi Eve!" Honoka greeted her cheerfully.
"It's been a long time…" Eve said calmly with a sweet smile.
"Yeah… I haven't get to see you in police station to look for Meg in a while now…" Umi said.
"I'm pretty busy with the clinic and I was also conducting a few experiments on my own… thanks for Meg's research that is really helpful for it….besides, I was only there to ask for a few advices … so…yeah… I'm not going to be there all the time…" Eve said.
"I see… but tell you what, Eve… Meg is still annoyed, she thought telling Honoka all the truth will make Honoka give her the death sentence. But Honoka twisted that around and make Meg sounds like only working as Leon's advisor and worker… now she just doesn't want to meet both of us…" Umi giggled,
"Just meet her, you'll find it fun to annoy her…" Eve said.
"Honoka have been visiting her, it's funny that Meg keep saying that she doesn't want to meet her yet she still ok to sit there for hours listening to Honoka's apology attempts…" Umi said.
"Eh…But Meg is ignoring me for those hours…" Honoka said.
"She is just shy about it— bring someone else with you and she would talk a lot…" Eve said.
"Huh?"
Eve chuckled,
"That's what she always do when she is too shy to talk with the person, she would talk with someone else and completely ignoring the person she really wants to tell to…" Eve said.
"Oh…I…I didn't know…" Honoka said.
"Then maybe next time we should bring Kotori…" Umi said.
"Yeah…" Honoka said.
"You haven't talk to me about your experiment, Eve… what is this experiment you're talking about…?" Nozomi asked.
"Ah, about that…. to be honest, it's just…hmm.. it just something that I've been thinking… I'm a little scared to introduce it to you but…uhn…." She began to get flustered,
"Hmm?" Nozomi tilts her head,
"Uhmm….J-just….. uh…. it just something that I…have been wanting…just…."
Eve struggled her words. She looks to her bag for a moment…
"Just…..AAAAH! JUST DRINK IT I DON'T CARE ABOUT HOW FAIL IT WILL BE!" Eve yelled as she quickly took out a small bottle of a red thick liquid…
Nozomi, Umi, and Honoka flustered…
"I…It's not like I…It's not like I want you to actually drink it or anything, it might be a failure! It might be a success… I don't know! I can't know before someone really tried it!" Eve said.
"Hnmmm…is this…. going to be dangerous?" Nozomi asked.
"Huh? No..no of course not… I've made it to lowest risk as possible… n…not like it's going to be actually like that…I…I know I'm such a weird! Don't look at me like that! It just something out of the box, yes… uh… why does sister can tell about something like this at ease… it's embarrassing…maybe you shouldn't drink it anyway, nothing might be happen and it's just going to taste terrible…" Eve said.
Nozomi, Honoka and Umi still flustered.
"I-I mean! Look! I've been spending my time for it? Why don't you drink it? It's not like I need you to drink it though, like, Nozomi! I think you're the only one who could do it, but… … maybe you don't need it… I…I just want something to happen! It's all sister's fault for suggesting me to try to do it…. eh— but she never mentions it even after she disappeared… it just my thoughts that she knew about….but…Aahhhh!" Eve is about to take the bottle again, Nozomi quickly grabs it.
"Eh?" Eve looks very surprised.
"I'll drink it…" Nozomi said.
"Ehhh?!"
Nozomi giggled and she picks up the bottle,
"N-Nozomi-chan? Are you sure…?" Honoka asked.
"She said she is the only one who can drink it…." Umi said.
"Yeah...but ….if anything happen to you..." Honoka said.
Nozomi giggled playfully before she open the bottle,
"Aahh!NO! NOZOMI!" Eve quickly attempted to catch it, but Nozomi quickly dodged her and turning away from her.
"No-no-no! What if it's actually dangerous? What if it's suddenly explode, don't—AHHHh!"
Nozomi already drink it as Eve trying to convince her.
"Nozomi! Nozomi! Please don't die..Please-please-please-please…stay alive! You have two children! I can't take care of them, no I doubt Eli will forgive me…please-please-please…be alive and well! I like you! You're like another sister to me!" Eve hugged Nozomi tight.
Nozomi remained quiet.
"Nozomi-chan…?" Honoka called her,
"Nozomi… are you ok?" Umi asked.
Nozomi giggled,
"I thought there will be something…" Nozomi said.
"Eh? Nothing happen?" Honoka said.
"I don't think so… I don't feel anything different…." Nozomi said.
"Ah…is that so…." Eve said as she quickly makes a distance with Nozomi, her face is all red.
"Then ...I guess it's a failure…." Eve said shyly.
Nozomi smiled at her faintly,
"Don't worry about it… there always be next time…" Nozomi said.
"Uh…yeah..but…I'm out of ingredients, so…maybe not going to happen…" Eve said.
"Ah..uhm… what's the ingredients?" Honoka asked.
"Uh….well….it was…. sister's heart…. I'm trying to put a good use to it…since no one wants to use it…" Eve said.
"Oh…"
"It's still worth a try, though, don't you think?" Nozomi said.
"You're right… at least I tried…" Eve said.
"Hehe, don't worry, Eve! I'm often fails at many things but I'm still alive…" Honoka said.
"T-That's not the point!" Eve yelled.
"Just a wonder, can you still transform?" Umi asked.
Nozomi remained quiet for a moment before she tried to do it—she is still able to transform.
"Oh…she can…so it's really no effect…" Umi said.
"Yeah…." Honoka said.
"An epic failure…." Eve said with a wry smile.
Nozomi turned back to her human form.
"There..there… you can always try another thing later.." Nozomi said.
"Sorry for the trouble…" Eve said.
"Don't worry about it…." Nozomi giggled.
Suddenly, someone knock the door again.
"Aaaaa! Must be papa!" The little girl running out from backyard, her brother ran along with her, and Kotori also running behind her along with a few gray birds following her.
Eve, Nozomi, Umi, and Honoka looking at them.
"Looks like Kotori is able to get a grip to her new power as well…" Umi said.
"Thanks to Eve for trying to tune a blood for her…" Honoka said.
"That's nothing…besides, she was really insisting it…so I can't just abandon her hope…" Eve said.
"Still funny because she was not agreeing with turning into Chimeras before, but she insists it at later just because she heard Chimeras age slower…" Nozomi said.
"Kotori do cares a lot about her looks…" Umi said.
Then suddenly, they could hear the little girl shouted in excitement,
"Aaahh! Not papa! But it's Maki-san! Get the red dot!" She ran to the backyard along with her brother and Kotori.
"T-There! I'm not here to destroy everything!" Maki yelled from outside.
Then suddenly a red dot appearing on the floor, Maki quickly jumps to it.
"Then don't try catching it!" Niko yelled.
"A-Akkhh! T-turn it off you little brat!" Maki yelled, The red dot moving to the backyard, Maki keep running to chase it.
"E-Excuse me!" Maki said as she passed by.
"Maki-chan so cute-nya!" Rin said as she walks in.
"That she is…" Hanayo said.
"I'm gonna play with them too-nya!" Rin said.
Then as she pass by,
"Hello-nya! Excuse me-nya!" Rin said before she went to the backyard.
Umi, Nozomi, Honoka, and Eve smiled to her.
"Excuse us…." Hanayo said.
"Yeah, coming in…" Niko said as she enters the kitchen along with Hanayo.
"Looks like everyone is here…" Hanayo said.
"Yeah… should we just go now?" Niko asked.
Nozomi turned at the clock.
"Hmm…I suppose so…" Nozomi said with a faint smile.
"We can wait for Eli if you like…" Eve said.
"Ah, you don't need to. She might not be here anyway…." Nozomi said.
"She didn't promise?" Niko asked.
"No…." Nozomi said with a faint smile.
"I'll go on prepare… then we can just go… I don't want you all waiting for too long…" Nozomi said.
Everyone else just gives her a slight nod and smile.
"The soup is ready so you all can start eating it first…suit yourself…" Nozomi said before she went to her room.
"Ah, ok… thank you! I've been so hungry!" Honoka said before she quickly stand and get her own food.
"Ah, me too! The Rice must be waiting!" Hanayo said as she joins Honoka.
Umi sighed.
"Poor Nozomi, she must be very lonely…" Umi said.
"I can't blame her though, Eli is a Mistress so she have a lot of responsibility to do… especially after she skips like 3 years of work to be with Nozomi… and taking a month for break at every two years too after those 3 years. It's not easy to do that for a Mistress… especially because Nozomi is not available to work with her until their child can take care of their own. She really wants to give an example to our kind that children must be guided until they can help themselves." Eve said.
"Do they always leave them alone?" Umi asked.
"Sort of… parental knowledge in our kind was terrible…" Eve said.
"Then I guess they already did their best at this…." Niko sighed.
The Bedroom,
The room space is a lot larger than their previous bedroom, a giant mirror placed right on the wall behind the giant and fluffy bed.
Nozomi sat on the bed, taking a deep breath before she decided to knock on the mirror twice.
An image of a warm looking office appeared, the huge desk with stacks of books and documents above it, then a woman with blonde hair and a pair of big curved horns sitting behind it on a luxurious looking chair, she looks like she is currently reading some documents,
"Ericchi…" Nozomi greeted her.
"Ah, Honey…. It's been a while…" she replied.
Nozomi nodded sweetly,
"How's your work?" Nozomi asked.
"It's going fine… but I think I'll need to go to a few places later to investigate some cases…" Eli replied.
"I see…." Nozomi smiled faintly.
"How's life? Do you need extra cash?" Eli asked.
"Wealth is going fine, children aren't very attracted with luxurious stuff like their friends…but, Yuki did mention that he wanted to buy a bicycle with a passenger seat… I brought him to shop, but he hasn't makes up his mind about which one he wants so I told him to decide first then we will buy." Nozomi replied.
"What about his growth?" Eli asked.
"I don't know how he will grow … you said the growth should be following the natural growth instead of the chemical one like me… but I hope you're right, I'm worried if he will grow thin since he is still too thin right now…"
"He is still seven, Nozomi…"
"True…"
"What about our daughter?"
"Hmm…she is growing well, but I think she is a little too hyper when you're not around…" Nozomi gives out a soft giggle.
"Ah— well… I wonder why she never get hyper when I'm around, am I too scary?" Eli asked.
"I doubt that's the case, she is born like you… she will grow horns and wings like you too one day… why would she be scared of you…" Nozomi said.
Eli giggled,
"Who knows? But… speaking of that, has she?" Eli wondered,
"No, she hasn't complained about headache or backache, not yet…"
"I see…should be around these years though… so you better prepare some kind of pain killer for it… Have you asked Eve to make it for her?"
"No, not yet… but I will since you said I should…"
"Harasho…" Eli smiled,
They're quiet for a moment, Eli returned to reading, though they keep themselves in contact.
"Ericchi…." Nozomi called softly.
"Hmm?" Eli replied gently.
Nozomi was about to say something, but Eli looks like she is very busy at the moment. With documents piling up on her table, she doesn't looks available to do something else…
"No…. Never mind…" Nozomi said.
"Do you want to dream?" Eli asked.
"No…I….I have to go with the others… we promise to go to vacation together this summer…" Nozomi replied.
"Ah, it's been a while to not hear from the others, have Niko finally be a full-fledged vampire?" Eli asked.
"Not yet, but she will in a few more years… I think she will be fine though, Maki and Rin keep her safe, Hanayo also keep checking on her from time to time… even though she is pretty busy with her own work in TV stations…"
"Honoka and the others?"
"They're doing fine too… They keep getting plenty of cases, but most are just dull and easy cases... then Kotori-chan, she got to improve her fashion center, now she has no worry about money and workers…and….got some extra spot for mascots too… she changed the mascot immediately into big gray fluffy and round bird instead of wolf…" Nozomi said.
Eli giggled,
"The wolf mascot is retiring…" Eli said playfully.
"That she is…" Nozomi giggled.
"Are they waiting you right now?" Eli asked.
Nozomi remained quiet for a moment…
"Yes…" she replied weakly.
"I hope you already refilled the car's fuel then…"
"I did…."
"Harasho…" Eli smiled gently.
Nozomi smiled back sweetly.
"I don't want to hold you back, just go on prepare…. I believe the kids will be eager to go too…" Eli said.
"Yes…right…" Nozomi said weakly.
They both quiet for a moment, Nozomi turn her sight elsewhere while Eli keep staring at her.
"….bye….darling…." Nozomi said weakly.
Eli didn't make a respond, she just keep staring at her.
Nozomi take a small peek, their eyes met each other in quietness.
Eli didn't say anything before she returned to her reading and the connection began to cut off and the mirror only show her reflection.
Nozomi sighed weakly.
"I wish I can be greedy and selfish like before…" she whispered to herself.
She turned her eyes to a portrait that she placed near the bed,
There's her, Eli, and two of their child together, embracing like a real family.
"But even though you're not here… I still can feel your love to me…to all of us…." she said to herself as she smiled. After a moment, she quickly picks up all the bags she already prepared and went out of the room and closed the door.
The image in the mirror shown again, Eli chuckled softly,
"I'm not dead….silly…." she whispered before the image fades.
At the car,
Nozomi on the driver seat, a big bag is on the other front seat, her children are on the back seat along with their belongings.
"Hmmnn…Papa isn't here…" the little said as she pouts.
"Papa is busy, we can't be selfish… after all, papa is working for you too…." Nozomi said.
The little girl pouts.
"There, sis, maybe Maki-san's vacation house is going to be fun to play at…" a handsome and gentle boy with short messy blonde hair, pale skin and turquoise eyes said as he pat his sister's back.
"Hmm…you're right…maybe there will be some kind of… swings?" the little girl said.
"There is beach across the road, we can play there…" Nozomi said.
"Ooo! Beach! What's a…. beach?" the little girl said.
"You'll see it later, but it's very fun to play around there…" Nozomi said.
"Ah, is it going to be bigger than our backyard?" The boy asked,
"It is…and you can play in the water too, but don't be too far, ok?" Nozomi said.
"Ok!" the children replied.
"Don't forget to wear sunblock, then for you Yu-chan, remember to be always polite…"
"Always polite, got it, mama!" the boy replied.
"What about me, mama? What I should remember?" the little girl asked.
"Hmm..for you…. remember to be nice with everyone…" Nozomi said.
"Can I add Eve as exception? I like Eve! I don't want to be nice to her!" she asked.
Nozomi giggled,
"As long you're not going too far, I think she'll be fine…" Nozomi said.
"What about Niko?" the little girl asked.
"Yes, as long it's not too far and you want to make up for the trouble…" Nozomi said.
"Ok! Then I'll mess around with Eve and Niko more!" the little girl said.
"Mama, who is the person with dark blue hair before? She looks tough…" Yuki asked.
"That's Sonoda Umi, she is good at fighting… you can try asking her for brawl if you like…"
"Sounds good…" he replied.
"Don't forget to introduce yourself though…" Nozomi said.
"Ok!"
"Then, what about the harpy-girl? Who's her name?" the little girl asked.
"That's Minami Kotori, she is the one who makes Mama's clothes…and Papa's too…" Nozomi said.
"Ooh….then she is…. fashion designer?"
"Yup, she is…smart girl…" Nozomi smiled.
The little girl quiet for a moment…
"Hmm..then-then, if I ask her to teach me how to make it… will she do that?"
"She have a school for it, do you want to try it out? I can put you there for trial run…"
"Ah..really?"
"Yup…"
"Ok! I'll make sure I'll be nice with Kotori-san so I can get good grades!"
Nozomi giggled,
"There, you still have to do your best on what you strive to learn, ok?"
"Yup! I'll do my best!"
Maki's vacation house;
"Ahh! It's been years!" Honoka said as she ran in to the vacation house.
"Yeah, feels very nostalgic… right?" Umi said.
"Yup! It's too bad that Eli-chan didn't make it here, would be nice if she is here…" Hanayo said.
"We have her boy and girl though-nya!" Rin said.
"Yup! Should we just go straight out?" Honoka asked.
"Yeah-nya! Let's go!" Rin said cheerfully before she and Honoka ran out along with Nozomi's children.
"H-hey! Honoka! Set up your—…."
And before Umi finished, Honoka is already outside.
"bah… she is out…" Umi said.
"Let's just set up her belongings, three of us are in the same room, right?" Kotori said.
Umi sighed,
"Fine…" she said.
"Say though, Nozomi, can your daughter sleep with us? I want to tell her bedtime story!" Kotori said.
"Sure…" Nozomi replied.
"Your son should be sleeping with you, right? Or not? If not, I still have one spare room ready…" Maki said.
"Hmm… if he can get his own room, sure… should be good to teach him that boys should keep a personal space with any girls…" Nozomi said.
"Ah, that Nozomi-chan surely really cares about his education…." Hanayo said.
"Of course, I might not be a worshiped example like how I am in the other world, but, educating my children to be good is one of my attempts to make this world a better place… and to make my children strong enough to live here…" Nozomi said.
"Hehe, yup, Eli-chan must be really proud to have a wife like you…" Kotori said.
Nozomi giggled,
"She should…"
"Anyway, Nozomi, are you sure you're fine to be sleeping alone?" Niko asked.
"You want to sleep with me Nikocchi?" Nozomi replied teasingly.
"Hell no. I rather go sleep with Maki…" Niko said.
"Heck no… why would I want to sleep with you…" Maki said.
"I'm saying that you're just the worst choice…" Niko said.
"Hmpmh! I'm sleeping with Rin and Hanayo anyway… you sleep on the sofa…" Maki said.
"H-heck?! You only give me a sofa?!" Niko yelled.
"I was about to put four of us in the same room since there's one big room with one giant bed that should be enough for four people, but you said you don't want so you sleep on the sofa!" Maki said.
"Fine! Then Nozomi, I'll sleep with you…" Niko said.
"Sorry Nikocchi, now I lost my appetite… you sleep on the sofa…" Nozomi said.
"Wh-what the hell?!" Niko yelled.
"Nozomi's room bed is pretty small too anyway, it should be enough if it's for Eli and Nozomi, but it won't be enough for you and Nozomi…" Maki said.
"Objection!" Umi shouted.
"Huh?" Everyone turned at her.
"I don't understand the logic, Niko is a lot smaller than Eli but then you said Niko is not enough?" Umi said.
"Umi-chan…if it's Eli-chan and Nozomi-chan… they can do spooning….Niko-can't…" Kotori said.
"Oh….." Umi blushed slightly.
"Except you want me to put her inside the pillow then yes… should be enough…" Nozomi said.
"The heck?!" Niko yelled.
"Why don't you sleep with me then, I just checked my room and it's a double bed…" Eve said as she approaches them.
"Eh? I was actually just teasing her, you know? I'm supposed to be the one who sleeps with you…" Maki said.
"Huh? Just teasing me? I thought you were seriously going to put me in the sofa…" Niko said teasingly.
"Then fine you're seriously on the sofa…" Maki said.
"Heck? I'll go with Rin and Hanayo!" Niko said.
"No-no, I'm going to move Honoka with them since Kotori and Umi will sleep with Nozomi's daughter…" Maki said.
"What the hell?" Niko yelled.
"So yes, you're on the sofa…" Maki said.
Nozomi giggled,
"Hey, this is just suggestion, why don't you, Nikocchi, and Eve sleep together? That would be a very fun night…" Nozomi said.
"Huh? The heck? I said I don't want to sleep with her!" Niko and Maki pointed at each other.
"Ah, but I agreed, I think it's going to be an interesting night…" Hanayo said.
"No! damn it!" Niko yelled.
"Why you don't want to sleep with each other anyway, did any of you doing weird things when sleeping?" Eve asked.
"Niko is wearing a scary mask when sleeping and it smells like a rotten cucumber…" Maki said.
"The heck?! It doesn't even smells! Your nose sucks!" Niko yelled.
Maki and Niko began to argue.
Eve sighed,
"Well, now I lost my appetite, I think I'll just sleep alone, you can have the room, Nozomi…I'll sleep at yours…" Eve said.
"Sure?" Nozomi wondered.
"Sure, I don't think I'll want to sleep with troublesome clowns like them anyway…" Eve said.
"What did you say?!" Maki and Niko yelled.
"I said, you're all troublesome clowns!" Eve yelled back.
"Said the stubborn ass!" Niko said.
"Huh?! Stubborn ass?!" Eve yelled
"Yeah! I said Stubborn ass!" Niko yelled.
Maki, Niko, and Eve began to argue with each other.
"See? Interesting aren't they?" Nozomi giggled.
"Yeah…" Umi sighed.
At the beach,
Honoka, Rin, and Nozomi's children already start playing around— they began with playing sands. The little girl and her brother building a sandcastle while Honoka and Rin….
"Uhn…Honoka-chan… what are you building-nya?" Rin asked.
"Sandman!" Honoka said.
"Eehhh?! Sandman-nya?!" Rin said.
"Yup! Sandman!" Honoka said, she is building a snowman-shaped sand.
The little girl turned around and sees it.
"What about you?" Honoka asked.
"Uhnn…. I'm building a sand-cat-nya!" Rin said, she is making a cat head on the sand.
"That's cute…!" Honoka said.
After a moment of staring at their works, the little girl decided to make a new thing. Her brother keeps going on with the sandcastle.
Meanwhile,
Nozomi and the others finally set with the room, they decided to just set up futon in the hall like before except for Nozomi's son.
"Hmm… I wonder what your daughter likes?" Kotori asked as they walks to the beach to approach the others.
"I haven't figure out what she doesn't like, but I think she did said she doesn't really like mayonnaise, said it tasted weird in her mouth…" Nozomi said.
Eve took a notice to it.
"Mayonnaise…huh? It's rare to see anyone who doesn't like them…" Kotori said.
"Hehe, yup… there's at one point back then when she was still in kindergarten, the food that shared for lunch is a potato mayonnaise—already mixed. She actually doesn't eat it, but she brought them home and gave it to her brother… but she was making an excuse that she already ate some and it was delicious, so she wants to share it to her brother… the teacher was impressed…" Nozomi said.
"Ehhh…? She is already good at making lies…" Kotori said.
Nozomi giggled,
"I think she got my mischievous side…. But anyway, her brother is really happy too. He likes most of food, he eats a lot too… and moving a lot… the only food he doesn't like is caramel… said it's weird…. I think he got that from me…" Nozomi said.
"Hehe, yeah, I guess so!" Kotori replied.
"There's at one point when Ericchi brought home a set of chocolate. The two chow them down in instant. They always like everything that Ericchi brought or make— it's kind of sweet. But… they should've shared with me…" Nozomi said.
"You don't get anything special from her?" Kotori asked.
"After Ericchi knows the two always like that, she brought something special for me such as clothes, accessories, or just some food… or she just simply take me to a date while the two taking care of home…" Nozomi replied.
"They can do that?" Kotori asked as they all arrived at the beach.
"Yup, they can, they're pretty clever and capable of doing a lot of things together. Sometime I think, they don't need me to take care of them, but then I realize that's not the point of parenting. It's more like I should give them as much emotional support as I can until they decided with who they want to be and how they do it… it's going to be a long journey since Yuki is also growing slower— but I'm glad he doesn't looks like toddler at his age…" Nozomi said.
"He will look like a child until age 17, then you'll be very surprised at age 18 above… that if he will follow the natural growth…not-chemical chimeras…" Eve said.
"Oh?" Nozomi turned around at her.
"He is pretty tall and handsome though, for his age, so you shouldn't worry about his looks— maybe he won't be popular at age 13 until 17, but I'm sure he'll be a hot guy at his 21… especially if you encourage him to do body building…" Eve said.
"I see…." Nozomi smiled,
"His sister would rather be a little fast at growing up, make sure you're giving her a good supply of soul food….then you should make her go back to our world at age 19 to take the maturity test. After age 20, you can officially let her live alone… or with her brother." Eve said.
"I'm planning to leave for Ericchi when Yuki is 17, I already made her work alone for too long…" Nozomi said.
"That's fine… just make sure the soul food supply keep coming too, and make sure you do it after your daughter's maturity test. Then, it will be a little bloody for your daughter at age 9 until 11, she will grow her horns, claws and wings— she need to get used to them… and… learn how to fly as well. I think I can help you with that…" Eve said.
"Ah—that reminded me, Ericchi said I should get a pain killer…" Nozomi said.
"Yeah, I know…." Eve replied.
"Uhhnnn! I can help with flying too!" Kotori said— she is already tooks out her big gray wings, she also have a pair of wings on her ankle and wrist— not to forget near her ears too.
"Ah, you can, but your flying system will be a little different than ours. But I think you should be able to be a speed tester, because after all, harpy is made for it…" Eve said.
"Yay!" Kotori said cheerfully.
"I don't want to burden you though, I kind of feel bad for doing this to my friends…" Nozomi said.
"Worry not, you need society to make them learn, we will be the society they need…" Eve said.
"Yeah!" Kotori said cheerfully.
As they turn their sight to the beach, they could see the others already gathered in one area and playing sands with Honoka, Rin, and Nozomi's children.
They decided to approach them as well.
"….you're good…." Umi said to Yuki,
"Hehe, it wasn't me… sis is the one who made the details idea, I'm just copying her…" he said.
"I see… what about her then?" Umi asked.
They turned at the little girl, she is currently making something and it looks pretty big.
"She'll be focusing on that for a while…" he said.
Umi and the others keep staring at her and the unfinished sands-art.
"Anyway, should we start playing something as well?" Maki asked.
"Eh? That's surprising to hear that from you…" Hanayo said.
"Huh? It's not like that, it just that I need to keep moving or I'll be forced to transform..." Maki said.
"Oh…true.." Hanayo said.
"Then let's go play a little further from here, we don't want to destroy these arts…." Umi said.
"Ah, don't worry, I'll stand guard!" Yuki said.
"Yup, good boy…" Kotori appreciated.
Yuki giggled and smiled shyly at her. Eve keeps staring at the little girl.
As the others playing around with each other,
Eve keeping an eye on the two children, the little girl looks very focused, Yuki is rather easily distracted as he look into how Umi beat the balls very strongly and accurately— he seems to be very interested to learn from her.
Eve noticed it, though she remain quiet to it and return to watch the little girl working on her art until the little girl stopped at the moment and turn to Eve,
"Eve, you're not playing with everyone?" she asked.
"Nah, I'm not into sport…" Eve said.
"Oh…" the little girl said as she return to her work again.
Eve tried to look for something in her bag— she took out a mint candy and offered it to the little girl.
"What's this?" she asked.
"Try it…" Eve said.
The little girl is a little flustered, though she decided to try it anyway. Then right after she tried it….
"BWaaaargh! What on shattering earth is this terrible taste?!" the little girl said as she spit it out.
Eve laughed,
"Eve!" the little girl protested.
"I knew it….I knew that you will hate it a lot…." Eve said.
"It's horrible! It's worse than mayonnaise!" she said.
"It's mint candy… I really love them, but you really hate it…." Eve said.
"Eww! Eve has horrible sense of taste!" she said.
Eve chuckled, she tried to look for something again.
"Here… try this one…" Eve said as she offered her a caramel candy.
"What's this?" she asked.
"Try it, I promise it will taste good…" Eve replied.
The little girl squint her eyes, yet she still decides to take it and eat it.
"Hmmm…..this….. this is actually good! This is…caramel! I love caramel!" the little girl said.
"Told you…" Eve smiled.
"I never know there's caramel candies too… Mama dislikes them so much…" the little girl said.
"I'll bring you the chewy one next time, I bet you will really love it…." Eve said with a smile.
"Ok!" the little girl said as she continues with her artwork cheerfully.
Eve keeps smiling at her as she watches over her.
Night time,
Even though they're actually not quiet tired yet, they still decided to sleep a few hours after dinner just so that they can be an example that people goes to sleep at night time.
Nozomi's eyes still wide open, she turned around and she could see that Honoka and Maki trying their best to sleep—or act like sleeping. She could see Maki already grew tail and ears as she stops moving—but she really is trying her best.
Nozomi smiled at her, then she turned to Umi— apparently she looks very calm and quiet, like meditating in sleeping position. Then Honoka, she keeps moving around but she tried to act like sleeping. Kotori seems like having no trouble with sleeping, and she still love to sleep with her beloved pillow. The rest are able to sleep normally, and her daughter seems to be sleeping quietly too.
After a few hours of the night passed, Nozomi decided to wake up and go to the bathroom—looking at the mirror. She decided to knock it twice and an image of the warm office appears again, but…
"Ah….Arisa?" Nozomi said.
"Nozomi-nee-san, evening…it's been a while." Arisa said.
"Where's Ericchi?" Nozomi asked.
"She is away at the moment, I'm not sure when she will return…she didn't say anything to me…"Arisa said.
Nozomi remained quiet for a moment, she remember she did mention she had to go somewhere before.
"I see…. it must be very busy there… right?" Nozomi said a little sadly.
"Honestly, yes, it's very busy…Even after we divide everything with everyone else, it's still a lot of work. Onee-san is a perfectionist so it's very difficult to reach her standard…" Arisa said.
"I'm sorry…. I could've helped you all…" Nozomi said.
"No, it's fine, really… even though it would be nice if you're here…but we understand… Onee-san wants you to spend all of your time to raise them… but maybe if you like, you can start getting a small part of work when the school started again for them…" Arisa said.
"Would be great…" Nozomi said.
"Yup, but you have to keep up with our newspaper— it's still badly written since most of locals here are just started to learn journalistic… but should be enough to keep you updated with recent news…" Arisa said.
"I understand… please send me the recent one later…" Nozomi said.
"Got it…" Arisa said.
"Thanks Arisa, I don't want to bother you…" Nozomi said.
"Ah, Nozomi-nee-san…." called Arisa.
"Hmm?"
"You're in Maki-nee-san vacation house… right?" Arisa said.
"Yes…."
"I sent you a fax… you should check it…" Arisa said.
Nozomi smiled slightly,
"Sheesh, Arisa, you should stop hacking our high school's fax…" Nozomi said.
"Hehe, it's the easiest access and safe. People would wonder who sends fax from school…" Arisa giggled.
Nozomi giggled.
"Alright… I'll go check it out…" Nozomi said.
"Yup, bye…" Arisa said before the connection cut off and the mirror shows her reflection again.
Nozomi decided to go to the fax machine and turn it on to accept the fax,
She waited for a moment until it gets fully printed out— it just a picture of smiling face. Nozomi began to wonder what that means until she could hear a very familiar motorbike machine which somehow sounds like it stops near their vacation house…
Then one gentle foot step…
Nozomi widen her eyes— she quickly ran out from the vacation house, waking up Maki and Honoka from their place,
"Nozomi?" Maki wondered.
"Did someone come?" Honoka said.
Outside the vacation house,
A woman with black leather jacket, black jeans and white shirt stepping down from her ice blue and black sport bike, she took off her black helm and let her blonde hair down.
She turned up to look at the vacation house— she realizes it's slightly upgraded from many years ago. Just right after she took off her from her motorbike, a woman running out of the house with full of excitement…
Eli—in her human form smiled and she opens her arms wide to accept the woman in her embrace,
"Ericchi…." she called her out softly.
"Sorry, Nozomi, am I too late already?" Eli asked gently.
"You missed one day of fun, but we still have a week to stay here…" Nozomi replied softly as she snuggled.
"Harasho… what did I miss?" Eli asked.
"Plenty of things, but the thing that you shouldn't is…. Lily built a statue of you from sand… it was highly detailed…I really didn't expect that from 8 years old girl like her…."
"She inherits my awesome wit…" Eli said as she chuckled.
"Sheesh… you're not that smart…" Nozomi replied with a soft and sweet smile as her face placed on her lover's shoulder.
Eli smiled at her softly before she kissed her on her forehead.
"I know, it won't be that good if the mama isn't you…" Eli said.
"You're turning it into a flirt now? Sheesh… where's the apology for being late?"
"I did!"
"That's not enough…"
Eli smiled before she kissed her lover on her lips.
"There…"
"No-no, still not enough…"
Eli giggled and she began to kiss her everywhere. Nozomi giggled as she could feel all the ticklish kisses.
"Ok, ok, that's enough…" Nozomi said between her giggles.
Eli giggled at her and once again kissing her on her lips.
"Ericchi! There!" Nozomi shoved her slightly.
"I just want to feel my wife, it's been a very tough work you know…" Eli said playfully.
"I know! Sheesh… but let's do that later, ok? There's a lot of people here…and our kids!"
"Oh—true…"
Nozomi sighed weakly,
"Now you should just go set up your belongings in the hall then go sleep next to Lily, she'll be very surprised and happy…." Nozomi said.
"Hmmm…. Ok? But I hope my wife isn't jealous?" Eli said with a playful smile.
"Of course not, sheesh… she is our daughter…"
"But, she might be another girl that I treasure…"
"You should treasure her, silly!"
"What if my treasure box is only enough for my wife?"
"Then you should get the bigger one, come on!" Nozomi started to pull her to the house.
"Yes, honey…." Eli giggled.
As they reached the door,
"Be quiet, ok? They should be sleeping by now…." Nozomi said.
"Alright…" Eli whispered.
Nozomi giggled before she opens the door. She thought it will be dark, but….
It's bright and everyone is awake.
"Ahh! Nozomi-chan! Eli-chan! Good timing!" Honoka said.
"What's wrong?" Nozomi asked.
"Uhnn… Lily-chan said she is having a very painful headache, Eve and Maki are currently looking for pain killer right now…" Kotori said.
Lily the little girl remained quiet, her face looks really pale.
Eli smiled before she approach her and placed her hand on her shoulder, Lily turned around to her and blushed very red.
"P….Papa….." she said softly.
Eli smiled at her,
"Do your best, Ayase Lily…" Eli said.
Lily smiled sweetly despite her painful headache,
"I will, papa…." She replied.
"What kind of sickness is it though?" Niko asked.
"It's not sickness, she is just growing her horns…" Eli said.
"Oh… that would be very painful then…?" Honoka asked.
"Yes, and it will be like that for around 2 years… it's troublesome, but it will be very worth it.." Eli said before she transformed to her true form, Lily keep staring at her in awe, her face is still all red,
"It will be a little bloody when those impaled through your head skin, but once it grows as big as this— you will always be proud of it…" Eli continued as she placed Lily's hand on her horn. It feels very powerful and hard.
"I'm glad mine isn't painful, it just grow…" Umi said.
"That's because it's chemical transformation—and it actually not something natural like this…" Eli said.
"Guess so…" Umi said.
And suddenly, someone walks very quickly out from the kitchen…
"Sorry-sorry, it's hard to find the right one but—…." Eve paused,
"Nozomi….?" Eve said.
Everyone quickly turn around to Nozomi, Nozomi is leaning against a wall, grabbing her own head and blood running greatly through her forehand.
"Nozomi!" Eli quickly run to he and held her.
"Mama…" Lily said softly,
"Ahh! Don't look!" Kotori quickly grabs her and cover her eyes.
Eve began to worry. She gets all stiff and scared.
"Nozomi, what's wrong?" Eli asked.
"Ericchi…" Nozomi said softly.
"Nozomi…. hang in there…" Eli said in panic.
"Ericchi…. my back hurts…" Nozomi said,
Eli quickly look at her back— there's two bumps that looks like going to tear her skin off from inside. Eli couldn't say a word about it.
"It works…." Eve whispered.
"Huh? What are you saying?" Maki asked.
"My experiment works…" Eve said,
"W-what?! What do you mean?!" Maki looks very surprised.
Eli frowned,
"Eve? What are you talking about?! Why are you experimenting on my wife?!" Eli said.
"O-Objection! Sh-she already told her to not to drink but it was Nozomi who decides to drink…" Honoka said in a little panic. Everyone in the room began to shiver from looking at how Nozomi struggled and how the blood keep running out from her head.
"It's a result of combination between three researches, undead, chimeras, and medicine…." Eve said with a faint smile.
"M-make it simple!" Eli said angrily.
"…basically…." Eve said,
A pair of big horns quickly grows out from Nozomi's head, everyone's eyes widen,
"….I've made the impossible…." Eve continued,
Nozomi's nails turns into claws,
"…Welcome to our kind, My Queen…" Eve said with a sweet smile,
And the bumps on her back slit open her skin, letting her giant wings to grow and spread out. Eli is speechless about this.
"H…how…how does it even happen…? For someone to change that way…" Maki said in awe.
Eve smiled.
"Because….Creativity is coming from and to them who are brave to be different… despite any difference they have… it's going to be always impossible when we never tried, and it's going to be difficult if we never want to understand…. And I have reached that point…." Eve said.
The room becomes very quiet,
Nozomi is trying to catch her breath.
"Nozomi…..?" Eli called her gently.
Nozomi turned to her lover,
"Ericchi….." she called her back softly.
And Eli quickly hugged her lover passionately— right in front of everyone's eyes.
"You're one of us now… finally…." Eli whispered.
Nozomi smiled as she keeps on hugging her. She noticed that her daughter staring at her also in awe as she peek through Kotori's fingers that partially cover her eyes.
"Lily, I've made it…. now it's your turn…" Nozomi said playfully.
"Yes…Mama…" Lily smiled,
"It's not done yet, Nozomi…" Eli said.
"Eh? There's more to grow?" Nozomi asked.
"No… but you should learn how to fly… and maybe magic too?" Eli said.
"Ah, no, she can't use magic or body transformation— but she still can transform to her werewolf form… I just be able to copy body system… I don't know how to give her magic…" Eve said.
"Then she isn't a perfect demon? What a fail experiment…" Eli said.
"T-There! You ass! At least now she can extend life span like our aging system! Be glad damn it!" Eve said.
"But it won't feel like a demon if you can't use magic…. Come on, make it true…" Eli said teasingly.
"I..I HATE YOU PERFECTIONIST ASSHOLE!" Eve yelled.
"And meanwhile, can you do that to our son too? It would be sad if he is the only one who can't fly…" Eli said.
"NO, YOU JERK! NOT DOING YOUR ORDER!"
And everyone burst into laughter.
Lily keep staring at her mother and father,
"Mama…Papa…. I'll grow up as great as you, promise!" she whispered to herself as she clenched her fist.
