As the morning sun rose up. Lucian was surprisingly already awake and driving to work. Takashi called him and asked him if he could open the shop. Lucian wanting to help, agreed to open the shop. " Now I can work on the donuts early." Lucian said to himself with an smile. The young man parked his truck and walked to the shop.

He was surprise to see an young girl his niece's age standing in front of the shop. " Hello. Do you need anything?" Lucian asks the girl. The girl immediately gasps in fright, before looking at him. She looked dainty and cute like an doll with long lavender color hair and periwinkle color eyes. She was wearing a magenta color dress with ruffles.

" Please don't hurt me! I just wanted to buy something!" The girl exclaimed in fright. " I'm not going to hurt you. What did you wanted to buy?" Lucian questions in a soothing tone. " I wanted to buy some donuts." The girl replied while calming down. Lucian unlocked the door and gestured for the young girl to go inside. " I got to make the donuts, before you buy them." Lucian told her.

The girl just nods and sits down on a chair. Lucian goes to the back and starts baking. After putting the donuts in the oven. Lucian goes back to the girl. "What's your name?" Lucian asks the girl. " Kanata." She introduced herself. " I'm Lucian." The young man introduced himself.

Kanata gave him a small smile before casually looking around. She suddenly had a scared expression on her face. Lucian then notice a man coming towards the shop. The man was bald, tall and had a lot of muscle. Kanata let out an shriek and tries to run to the back of the shop. The man walked in the moment she jumped out of her chair.

" There you are!" The man yelled angrily while harshly grabbing Kanata's hair! Kanata cried out in pain and fear. " Let her go!" Lucian bellowed in rage. He was ready to fight the taller man to save the girl. " This is my homestay. I can do what I like to do with the kid!" The man shouts at Lucian. The brown haired man let out an cry of rage and punched the bald man in his face!

Kanata ran towards the back as Lucian prepared to fight against the cruel man. " You'll be sorry for this!" The man yelled angrily while leaving. Lucian sigh in relief and notice Kanata staring at him. " He's going to come back and hurt you." She warned him. " Kanata. Are you an extra specie?" Lucian asks her while ignoring the warning. " Yes. I'm an Living Doll." She replied.

" I'm really worried about the others now. I promise them I would be back soon." Kanata added worriedly. " The others?" Lucian question in surprise. " Tenichi has other extra species beside me living with him. He only signed up to be an host just so he can get money." She told him.

" What has he done to you guys?" Lucian question while trying to keep his temper down. " He's mostly verbally abuses us, but he sells the small breed arachne webs. And Tenichi was planning to sell me to an rich couple as an toy for their children." Kanata revealed with tears in her eyes.

Lucian immediately called agent Williams and told him about Tenichi. " I knew that concern about extra species was fake!" Williams shouted angrily. " We need to save those homestays fast." The young man said with determination. "I'll have my MONs team at Tenichi's house soon." Williams told Lucian before hanging up.

The owner of the shop and another worker came into the shop then. Hearing about what happened. Lucian's boss sent the brown haired man home. Back at the Winters home. Mirai and Freya were having an fight. When Freya couldn't find Lucian after she woke up. She thought the lamia had hidden him.

Mirai was angry at the accusation and attacked the Valkyrie. Currently Freya is having the upper hand." Foul serpent! I shall smite you for harming Lucian!" Freya yells while pointing a sword at Mirai's throat. " If I'm going to die! I'm taking you with me!" Mirai announces while wrapping her tail around Freya's neck.

" STOP!" Lucian bellows the moment he stepped inside the house. Kanata was with him and staring at the damages. Vases were broken, picture frames were beyond repair and the two extra species women's clothing were torn. " Lucian! I thought Mirai had kidnapped you!" Freya shouts in surprise. "I was at work." Lucian told her.

" I told you that I didn't do anything to him!" Mirai exclaimed. At that moment, Alice peeked out from a closet. " Is it safe for me to come out?" Alice asks nervously. Both Mirai and Freya felt bad that they scared Alice. " I'm sorry that we scared you." Mirai apologized for her and Freya's actions. " It's okay." The twelve years old girl replied with a kind smile.

Lucian then explain about Kanata's situation. " Oh you poor girl!" The lamia exclaimed feeling bad for the girl. " Huh? I'm not a girl." Kanata told Mirai. " You're a boy!?" Lucian shouts in surprise. " I may dress like a girl. Because I like to look like a girl and it's easier to put a dress on." Kanata explained to everyone. At that moment, Lucian's cellphone starts ringing. "Hello?" Lucian questions. " It's me, agent Williams. I got good news and bad news. The good news is Tenichi's homestays are safe. The bad news is that Tenichi escaped." Williams told Lucian.

Lucian was happy that Kanata's friends were safe. But he was worried about Tenichi still being around. " Mr. Winters. You have to be careful. One of the extra species at Tenichi's home heard him say he is going to kill you." Williams warn the host. Lucian was disturbed to hear that. This means his niece and homestays are in danger.

" I'm not going to let this man hurt my family." He thought as he hung up his cellphone. Lucian then silently vows to stop Tenichi himself. Even if he died doing that. Lucian was unaware that Freya was watching him closely. She realized he was planning to fight against Tenichi. " I won't let you die, Lucian. Everyone here needs you." Freya thought.

" Hello!" A familiar voice called out. Everyone turned around to see Yuna. " Mai got mad at me and told me to leave the house for a little while." Yuna explains. Everyone sweat drops at hearing that. " Yuna. Can you take Kanata to the police station?" Lucian asks before telling her about Kanata's friends and former host. " Come on Kanata! I'll take you to see your friends!" Yuna told him in her usual cheerful way.

The male living doll looked confused at Yuna's behavior. But he still left with her to see his friends. " Is she always so cheerful?" Mirai asks. This was the first time she met Yuna. Lucian and Alice didn't answer her question. The uncle and niece were laughing. They were laughing because Yuna in her own way helped cheer them up.

Little did anyone know. Tenichi was watching the Winters home. He was waiting for Lucian to be alone. After all the young man humiliated him by punching him. " This is between you and me. I'm going to make sure you will never humiliate me again." Tenichi vowed.
