This chapter has Zombina, Doppel and Tio's dates. Enjoy the chapter everyone.
" I'm so sorry for what Lala did!" Aiden apologizes to the female MONs team members. He had decided to apologize to the female members first. He gives Lala a stern look when she doesn't apologize. The dullahan felt bad that the MON members were being punished because of her actions. But she doesn't regret her decision. " I'll do anything you guys want!" Aiden shouts.
" Sweetie. Nobody is in trouble for what happened. The little girl's parents are happy that their daughter is still alive." Tio told him. Aiden looks surprise to hear that. " That's right. We are not under house arrest. This is our vacation." Doppel say. " That's right. So you-" Manako partly said before Zambian stops her from finishing her sentence." If you still want to make up for what happened! You can takes out on dates!" Zombina grins. " I can do that." Aiden agrees.
" Why did Zombina wanted me to wait for her at the docks?" Aiden asks himself. There was no one else at the docks with Aiden. It made him shiver. He looks around and sees a red envelope on the ground. Aiden is puzzled to see it and he picks it up. He opens it up with a shudder. He always taught Serenity not to open things that belongs to someone else. Now he was doing the exact same thing he told his sister not to do.
" Hmm. There's money, a wedding certificate, a picture of a girl and a lock of hair in the envelope. Who would put these things into an envelope?" Aiden asks himself. He looks at his watch. Zombina is already late for the date. So he has enough time to drop off the envelope at the police station.
" You found my envelope." A squeaky and cute, yet serious and defined female voice asks. Aiden turns around to see a girl. " I'm terribly sorry that I open your envelope." Aiden apologizes while rubbing the back of his neck. " No worries. You can keep the money and marry me." The girl says. " Huh?" Aiden stares at the girl.
Before he could react. The girl leaps towards him, but she falls back as a gunshot rang out. " Stay away from my date, Cici!" Zombina shouts as she walks up to Aiden. Cici laughs and sprang to her feet. " Cici made you jealous, huh? Than Cici shall take him and make him my husband." The girl giggles. " Still trying to be a pain in my side, huh?" Zombina grumbles.
Aiden now realizes that the girl is a jiangshi. " Sorry that I'm late Babe. I forgot to stretch before bed." Zombina apologizes. " You should do tai chi in the morning like Cici." Cici suggests to the zombie. Zombina thinks about that. " Wait a minute. Do you two know each other?" Widen asks.
" Yes. Cici has been sneaking into Japan illegally for a while. I'm the one who usually apprehend her, because we are zombies." Zombina grumbles. " Oh! So you two are friends." Aiden says in an upstanding tone. Zombina grimaces while Cici laughs. " You are funny, husband! Cici really likes you!" The jiangshi laughs.
Zombina shoots at Cici again. The jiangshi easily dodges and smirks. " Unlike the last few times. Cici came prepared." Sharp blades suddenly appear from the girl baggy sleeves! Before Zombina could react, Cici had already partly dismembered her. A gunshot rang out and Cici fell over again. " You forgot to cut off my other arm." Zombina smirks.
Aiden goes over to Cici and takes away her blades before she could stop him. " What are you doing, Babe?" Zombina asks with a confused look. Even Cici was confused by the man's actions. " I can stand the thought of doing nothing when people are getting hurt. I don't want to be a bystander, but I know that can't be Superman." Aiden says as he goes over to Zombina. He gets out a small sewing kit from his pocket.
He starts sewing up Zombie's limbs back on as the two stare at him. Cici and Zombina were impressed by the man's bravery and selflessness. " By the way. What is this convention that you wanted to go to Zombina?" Aiden asks. " I forgot about the convention!" The two zombies shout. Cici rushes over to the two and helps show up Zombina limbs.
Aiden raises an eyebrow at the two zombies behavior. They must really love this convention.
" Come on, Slowpoke! We're missing a good day to prank people!" Doppel mischievously chuckles. " Don't call me a pokémon." Aiden groans. Mara and Serenity would be happy that Aiden knows about Pokémon. " You're in a bad mood today. Did you get nightmares from attending that Yaoi convention?" Doppel asks with a smirk.
Aiden grumbles at that. He never wanted to be reminded of that convention again. " Here's our first victim." Doppel points at a police officer who was talking to a boy. " We can't prank a police officer!" Aiden exclaims. " I'm not talking about the police officer. I'm talking about the little trouble maker." Doppel sighs.
Right on cue, the boy steals the police officer's wallet when the man turned around. The doppelganger stomps up to the boy. " What are you doing?! I told you to prank and steal from people who deserve it, Sora!" Doppel shouts at the boy while snatching the wallet. Sora pouts as Doppel gives the wallet back to the police officer.
" He rudely bumped into Lillian earlier, Big Sis Doppel! So he deserved to his wallet stolen!" Sora protest as the officer left. " That isn't a good enough excuse." Doppel scolds the boy. Aiden is surprise at seeing Doppel act like an older sister to Sora. " Bae. This is Sora Shiunin. He's an imp." Doppel introduce the boy.
Aden remembers reading that imp look like a regular human, because they can make their tails and the small bat wings on their back to disappear. He also knew that imps are notorious pranksters. " Is he your protégé?" Aiden asks Doppel. " Yeah." Doppel says while looking away from Aiden.
" If I'm your protégé! Than why do you scold me for pranking people!" Sora demands. " Because you prank the wrong people." The doppelganger told him. Sora crosses his arms and looks away from Doppel. Aiden starts to wonder why the two act like they had a falling out. A scream alerts the three that someone is in trouble. " Lillian!" Sora shouts his host's name in concern.
Doppel's eyes widen and she rushes off towards the scream. Aden follows her at fast pace. He stops when he sees an Orc who was dragging a woman into an alleyway! The woman was struggling in the extra specie's grip. " You are a feisty one. I'm going to enjoy our fun time." The Orc said with a grin.
" Bae! Lillian! Close your eyes!" Doppel orders. Aiden and Lillian did what she told them to do. The orc let out a terrified scream and lets go of Lillian. " Okay. You guys can open your eyes." Doppel says. The two humans open their eyes to see that the Orc is gone. " Lillian!" Sora shouts as he hugs the woman.
" Sora! I thought you were still at the bookstore!" Lillian exclaimed in surprise. " You have a memory of an harpy!" Doppel complains. " Thank you!" Lillian smiles without realizing that Doppel just insulted her. Sora tugs at his host's sleeve. " We should go home now. The others are probably worried about us." He says. Lillian nods and they leave.
" I don't understand how Sora and Lillian's other homestay's handle her. She's sickly and she has a bad memory." Doppel says. Aiden is surprise to see an concern look on Doppel's face. " How bad is her health?" Aiden asks. " She has good days and bad days. The bad days are more frequent now." The doppelganger replies. " She's not dying if that's what you are thinking." She adds.
Now Aiden was understanding the reason for the tension between Doppel and Sora. It was a little obvious that the doppelganger didn't like the thought of Lillian having homestays for caregivers. She was acting like an concerned older sister than a prankster when she is around her protégé. Aiden was starting to respect Doppel more.
" Come on Bae! We still need to prank someone!" Doppel impatiently calls out as she walks away from him. Aiden sighs before he follows her.
" Oh Sweetie! I never knew that you enjoy picnics before!" Tio exclaimed as she sits on the picnic blanket. Aiden sets down the picnic basket with a chuckle. " One of my favorite memories involves a picnic." He told her. He then lays down on the blanket with a sigh. " Are you tired, Sweetie?" Tio asks. " Yeah. Miia, Dina, Shiana, Kagura and Lucine are really jealous and mad." Aiden replies with a groan.
The five had chased him for an hour earlier. He only manage to escape because Rachnera and Sabrina tied them up. " You can rest your head on my lap like a pillow."Tio suggests. Since Aiden was tired from the sudden exercise earlier. He puts his head on her lap. " She's so soft and she smells good." Aiden thought as he closes his eyes.
Aiden was asleep, when Tio leans over to get a snack. She was unaware that her breasts were smothering the man. " I need air!" Aiden thought frantically. Finally Tio notice the man struggling. She quickly leans back so Aiden can breathe " I'm so sorry, Sweetie!" She apologizes. " It's okay. I'm used to these things." Aiden reassures her.
" Did you almost die again, Mr. Valentine?" Kii asks as she appears from a bush. Aiden does a double take. He couldn't believe that Kii is there. She was supposed to be at the house. A familiar kobold appears next to Kii. " Hi guys! I brought Kii here for help!" Polt greets Tio and Aiden.
" Help for what?" Aiden asks Polt. " I need her to show me at great place to put a sauna in the forest." Polt replies. Kii looks very unhappy with the idea of something being built in the forest. Aiden was amazed that she agreed to help Polt. " Sweetie and I can help too!" Tio volunteers herself and Aiden. The man was about to protest, until he notice the happy smile on Polt's face.
He sighs and goes to look for a good spot for sauna with the girls. During the walk, he notices a particular pond that has a lot of steam and smells like sulphur. Aiden realizes that the pond is a natural hot spring. " Sweetie! We found a perfect spot for the sauna!" Tio calls out. " Okay! I just found an hot spring that Polt can use!" Aiden calls back. He barely finished his sentence when Polt runs up to the hot spring.
Her tail wags in excitement at the sight of the hot spring. " This is the greatest day ever!" Polt cheers. Aiden and Tio smile at her enthusiasm, while Kii rolls her eyes. " Why did I ever agree to let her use the forest for business?" She asks herself.
Aiden found himself laughing at Kii's question. The dryad complains about everyone, minus Papi and Suu. But she does care about everyone. This day was actually the best date with a female MONs member he had so far. He hopes that his date with Manako will be a nice and fun date.
" Eek!" Tio shrieks because she saw a bug. In her haste to get away, she accidentally knocks Aiden into the hot spring. " Ouch!" He cries out from the hot water. " Sorry Sweetie!" Tio calls out. Aiden waves at her, Polt and Kii to show that he was okay. He made a mental note to avoid hot springs. He likes hot water, but he doesn't like hot water that almost burns him.
Maybe this isn't the greatest date so far. But he still had a fun time.
I finished the chapter sooner than I thought. I decided not to do a poll for the side chapters. There are going to be for side chapters instead of three. One involves Aiden tellingly Serenity about their parents. The second one has Chione and Aiden investigating a mysterious visitor who only appears at night. Then there's a chapter involving an earthquake and Serenity gets a new bed in that chapter.
The final side chapter is going to be a funny one. Because Aiden has a dream where he's a woman. Aiden's reaction to the sudden gender change in the chapter will be funny. See you guys later.
