( Aiden's pov.) It's been four days since meeting Papi, Kagura, Haru and Gao. Apparently Haru grew up with Papi. So she considers herself as a older sister to Papi and apparently that mysterious building that I never checked out was a big shrine. Remembering that Kagura is a miko. I fixed the shrine up by myself. Serenity tried to help, but I got worried about her getting hurt.
Gao and I had a chat yesterday. I learned he had a older brother who died of a illness a few years before. I also learned that he has a younger sister who is eight years old and still to young for the program. And I forgot to ask him about what he was because Miia and Lucine wanted my attention.
Now I was leaving early in the morning before anybody got up. I had to buy food for everyone. Plus Serenity needed stuff for dinner tomorrow and the next day after. She likes to plan ahead when it comes to meals like our real mom. The good thing is that thanks to my sister who read somewhere that in a way the government pays us to buy food for the gang.
I might talk to Smith about bringing stuff we need to the house. I finally walked out of the house and over to my main car. Smith did give me a Suv which is good for the more human like extra species in the house. But my main car is the same brand and color like the one on the walking dead.
" Man, I love that show!" I thought with a smile as I started the car. As I drove to the store. I notice a sign that said " Warning purse snatchings in the area." I should tell Serenity to avoid this part until it was safe. She has a purse that our adopted mother gave her. Serenity always took it with her when she did the shopping. I shudder at the the thought that the purse she loves so much would make her a target. Pushing the thought away I park my car and got out. I had only gotten little ways from the car, when something nearly ran into me. I jump out of the way in time.
" It appears I have met someone." a female voice spoke with a English accent. I turned around to see a centaur woman with long blond hair that was tied in a ponytail. " I can't believe that I found you, my master! I am Centorea Shianus a member of the esteem centaur race!" Centorea proclaimed. I blinked at her announcement. " What is she talking about? I'm not anyone's master." I thought as hear someone approaching us.
" I see you have found our master Centorea." Another female voice spoke with a English accent also. I looked to see a centaur with long light blond slightly curly hair and armor on her human half and white horse half I realized she was a heavy weight centaur. I remember reading about both centaurs in the book Smith gave me. I'm glad now that Serenity made me read it. Before I could say anything the other centaur saluted me. I now notice that she was wearing brown gloves.
" I am Shaia a proud member of the centaur race I am glad to we found thee Milord . Shaia announced. " Uh, good to meet you guys. May I make a call will quick?" I question earning nods from the two. Walking to where they couldn't hear me. I called Smith. " Oh yeah, I told them about you Darling-kun. I was wanting to you to take care of them." Smith said casually. " You couldn't have called me first before sending them out!?" I shouted my frustrations at the agent. Why hasn't she been fired for her lazy attitude yet? " Sorry I forgot. I'll come over later Darling-kun." Smith yawned while ending the call.
I put my cellphone in my pocket with a sigh. " Well the good thing is, I have someone to guard Serenity when she's out shopping or visiting the kids at the hospital." I thought as I return to the centaurs. They both look like they have a question. Centorea spoke first. " Master what are you doing here? Are you on a quest?" she asked. I shook my head. " No. I'm shopping for groceries for my family." I told her. " Then can we help, Milord ?" Shaia asked. " I would love both of your help." I said touched.
Sure the others help out but only Serenity ask first. When the others help, they cause accidents while arguing about what I like or not. Vases, lamps and picture frames have been broken because of the arguments. But nobody has been hurt. Well, except for Gao when Miia accidentally dropped a vase on his head while she was arguing with Kagura. he was daze for awhile and after that incident Gao refuses to be around any of the girls when their arguing except for Serenity. It's a really good thing that Serenity never argues with anyone. Unless it was considered important.
We went inside the store and did the shopping with Centorea and Shaia's help with finding the stuff I needed, and getting the groceries in the car. I was done shopping faster then doing it by myself. " Thank you guys. You two sure me helped me that." I said in a warm voice. The centaurs blush at my praise.
Before anybody could say anything else. A guy on a fast pace scooter stole a woman's purse. " So he's the one snatching purses!" I thought as Centorea brought out a sword from nowhere. " How dare he steal from a maiden! Master quick get on my back!" she command. I was really wanting to get the guy. So I jumped on Centorea's horse part along with Shaia. We started pursuing the purse snatcher.
I caught sight of the thief almost immediately. " There he is! We have to stop him before he goes into a narrow alleyway!" I shout. Hearing this Centorea doubled her speed and we manage to catch up. " Halt thief! I won't allow you to escape!" Centorea shouts while swinging her sword at the scooter tires. I heard a satisfying pop as one tire started deflating. The scooter ended up hitting a tower of paint cans the thief with it. I was about to laugh, when I saw a paint can in front of us.
Centorea still running was watching the thief and she didn't notice the can until she stepped on it causing her to slide. I fell off her while Centorea kept sliding till she hit a wall. I saw Shaia finally catching up then. I looked back to Centorea and to my horror the thief had gotten up. He had grabbed the fallen sword and walked toward Centorea. Acting fast I ran to her side to protect her from the angry thief.
" You horse bitch! I'll show you not to mess with me!" the thief growls angrily while raising the weapon. I jump in front of Centorea just in time. It hurt getting slice but i had to protect both girls from the man who was ready to kill someone. So I landed a falcon punch in the thief's face knocking him out. " I'm going to die now, huh? Wait a minute, this wound isn't deep!" I thought in surprise.
The police arrived a few seconds later. The woman got her purse back while we went back to the car drove home with the centaur women following me. I got out of the car once I got home and I felt really sore.
Centorea and Shaia approached me. Centorea told me after the police showed up that her sword was fake she must be feeling guilty now. " Hey Centorea ." I said unsure what to do now. " Cerea that is what my friends call me and I want thee to call me by. Cerea spoke while blushing. " Milord that was most heroic thing I have never seen a human do." Shaia said in awe now taking my hands they put my hand on their breasts where their hearts are. " I Centorea/Shaia pledge to serve you as knights and protect you Master/Milord ." they spoke together.
I felt shy all of a sudden. I could hear the door opening. I looked to see Miia and Papi standing on the porch and the other girls were looking out the door. " What's going on?" Miia asks confused. " Is it dinner time." Papi ask. " Master this is most inappropriate explain!" Cerea demanded. " Yes explain Milord!" Shaia demanded angrily. I explained and as I was talking Serenity must have wonder what was going on, because she came outside with Gao. She took one look at me before she gasps in horror. " Big brother! what happened?! This is the second time you came home for dinner injured!" she wailed. I knew she was right. I hope this isn't becoming a habit.
" I went grocery shopping." I said trying to appease my worried sister. It did not work. " Gao get the first aid, Lucine and Shiana get the groceries inside everyone else go get ready for dinner!" Serenity ordered my sister maybe the kindest most gentle person in the world but she knows when to take charge.
After getting patched up Serenity made a salad for the new guests. I learned she made fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and crab to add on. If anyone wanted it with meat or just plain. " Listen here. Now that Shaia and I are here thing are going to be different. Master comes first." Cerea announced while pointing at the the other girls with her fork which had a piece of lettuce and a tomato on it.
" I always put darling first!" Miia protested while taking a bite of chicken. " Papi too." the blue winged harpy chimed. " I don't believe you understand what Cerea is say." Shaia said while cutting her salad. " She means the only ones who are servings Milord is Cerea and I. While you harlots are doing the housework." Shaia continued. Shiana glared at the centaur. " Who the heck died and made you two queens! Aiden is mine so I shall serve him!" The medusa hissed.
" Stay out of this you snake haired peasant! I'm the queen here!" Lucine growled. " I won't allow this! Danna-san belongs to me not you concubines!" Kagura shouts. Haru just stared while munching on noodles. Papi looked around confuse about what's going on. " Darling took me out on a date so I belong with him!" Miia exclaimed. Serenity just sighed looking like she had something to say. I knew she wanted to stop them but can't find the words. Poor Gao looked very uncomfortable. " Scary. Did this happen before I came here?" He mumbled as if afraid of the arguing girls. I was about to say something when. " Hello, where is everyone?" Smith called out. Thank you Smith. " We're in the dining room!" I called back a few seconds later, Smith came in the room with a boy yet again Serenity's age.
He had light aqua hair in a short style with bangs that covered his left eye, he was wearing a long sleeve light blue with some dark blue, shirt and pants combo I notice he had violet color eyes and rather pale skin tone or at least seems pale to me. " Everyone. This is Kiri Hyoryu, he shall be staying here." Smith announced. the boy gave us a little bow. "Hello, it's nice to meet you all. I hope i won't be a bother to everyone ." Kiri said in a shy tone. " Hi Kiri! You won't be a bother. we all help out around here." Serenity said in a soothing voice.
She is like mom, since mom had a way of making people comfortable. The girls all voice in their greetings, Gao gave Kiri a friendly grin. " It's a good thing you came here. It was getting scary with just two guys here." He said.
Smith gave me a teasing smile. " Having trouble, hmm! Maybe I should tell you what I'm planning next." She teased. " What do you have planned now, Smith!" I demanded. " Can't tell you, Darling-kun!" she sang, while leaving. I felt frustrated, but I still finish my meal. As everyone finish their meal, I showed the new guests to the guestroom until Hiro and his crew come over tomorrow.
It was roomy and it had two bed, a desk between the beds and a small shelf. "Kiri. Gao says that you can sleep in his room tonight." I told the younger male. " I'll go to his room now." He says while leaving the room. The two centaur women entered the guestroom and I politely left. I was really hoping that tomorrow is a lazy day.
I will start working on the next two chapters so please be patient everyone.
