Summary 3:[1]
"Well, that might take years, if we consider that option" Yuta asked
"I have never heard of a pregnancy that took years my dear, and in your case I sense by the amount of cursed energy that this little creature has, you still got 8 months ahead of you my dearest Maki" she added gently smiling while everybody was just too stunned to speak up, except for Mei Mei who was very amused by the situation.
"Finally, something interesting between you too" she shared
"Well don't be that surprised, things like those happens" Maki said just completely unphased, even though deep down she was somehow shaking.
Embarrassed the grandmother excused herself saying that she had no idea that they were not aware of it.
"Don't be ma'am, it is okay, you even made things easier to me by telling him yourself", Maki responded even though her real thoughts were very different from her words.
"Alright then, there is only one solution to it. We'll have to get rid of that curse and to get back" Yuta claimed
"My dear, I think that you need to discuss it with someone else before taking any kind of reckless action. Well, we'll leave you two to discuss about it"
It might not be the best timing to ask you this, but what kind of tea did we just drink? I feel like it is a mix of green and something floral?"
Ena chuckles softly "You have a sharp tongue. It's genmaicha with a hint of Sakura petals—a blend my late husband adored. The roasted rice softens the bitterness of the green tea, and the cherry blossoms... well, they remind me that even bitter things can have beauty.
This description fitted perfectly the taste that a tall blond hair man in his early thirties had in his mouth, while reading his journal.
"This tea is perfect Yor" he said surprised by his wife's skills when it came to making a tea of this caliber.
"I am glade that you enjoy it. It is the least I could do after letting you cook dinner. Thanks again Loid, I was quite busy today at work, so I didn't have the chance to come back home early." the black-haired woman responded as she was thinking of her last-minute mission as an assassin.
"Don't think about it twice Yor" The white-haired man smirked, thinking that it was a blessing for him to come back earlier than his pretended wife to cook every single meal that they eat.
"At least let me help you with the dishes" she said cleaning her teacup before calling someone's name to warn her that dinner is almost ready
"Anya, dinner is almost ready" she said
"Roger that" a cute little voice replied
"Seriously I would love her to focus more on her studies than on that stupid show" Loid said sighing out of desperation
"Don't think about it too much, she is just a kid and like any other kid she just wants to have fun, I am sure that little by little she'll grow onto becoming more and more studious" Yor affirmed
"I doubt it" added Loid
Even though Yor was aware of Loid's motive for Anya to become an imperial stellar student, she couldn't shake off that feeling that something about it was off, I mean at the end of the day all that should matter is that your child is in perfectly good health and have enough food on his table for him not to starve, she thought thinking back about the state of distress that she was in, while learning about her parent's death and thinking of how to raise Yuri all by herself.
The warmth and smell of Loid's cooking could be felt all over the apartment; it even caught the attention of a young little pinky headed girl with a small strand of ahoge at the top of her head and two horns at the edges of it. She didn't need to be called twice after smelling such a pleasant scent, from the carpet of her room, she stood up and went straight to the dining room where she found her father dressing the table, he was in the middle of disposing the plates. As Anya was walking toward him multiple thoughts barged into his mind.
"Honestly this is the hardest mission that has ever been given to me, but..." "I am not near exited for it to end; I mean what about this fam…" his mind went blank as he was about to let go of that last silver plate. Whenever the boundary between his identity as twilight and his fake one as Loid would be breached, a harsh cold critic would pop into his mind "You are starting to lose it twilight". "This family" he thought as he was picturing their usual family dinner, gathered around that same table "Is nothing more but a scheme for the sake of world's peace, after that…" he kept thinking; thoughts that little Anya tried to suppress for as long as she could, she pushed them away with all her strength, but it appears that her so called strength was obviously not enough in front of twilight's determination to put an end to this so called scheme. To prevent those thoughts from becoming a part of her reality, her thin little body's reaction was to run back into her room as fast as she could but Loid's mind was faster, "The forgers will no longer be" the effect of such affirmations froze her little legs and made her drop her stuffed animal "cheetah", the only thing that remained by her side all of those past 6 years, suddenly and out of nowhere a familiar feeling of unease rushed back into her veins, in an instinctual reaction, Anya began sprinting back to her room, hastily shutting the door behind her. The sudden, resounding click of the door jolted her father's thoughts, snapping him back to reality. "Anya?" he called after finally letting go of that last plate. "I am sure that I have heard her coming" he thought before stepping on cheetah. "Anya" he called again as he was slightly opening the door, at his surprise he found her enrolled within her blue blanket. "Anya isn't feeling well, Anya's tummy hurts" she said with a frail voice. "Really? Then let me look at it." "It is okay" she shouted "Anya only needs to rest for a bit" she added in a calmer tone. "I have a bad feeling about this, but again if it was anything serious, she would have complained about it" he thought. "All right, have a good night then." "Hy" she replied trying to suffocate her quavering voice.
The moment Anya heard them pulling out their chair, her tears flowed so intensely that a section of her pillow became instantly damp.
"Anya…" she sniffed "don't want to be alone, if Anya ends up alone…" she said anxiously, "How is Anya going to survive? Who is going to protect Anya from him…?" she thought anxiously before hearing a deep breathy voice echoing within her two horns "I am waiting for you little one" the voice whispered, that voice alone made Anya's pupil dilate "Yada..." quickly a feeling of hopelessness started to invade every single inch of her bones, she felt like her leg's bones were being crushed by an agonizing sense of paralysis, as if someone was holding them tight within their hands, Anya's soft little legs became slowly numb from it.
Overwhelmed by the weight of distressing emotions, her eyes gradually dimmed, extinguishing the last flickers of hope that had blossomed within her soul after the forgers had seized her. The encroaching darkness made her increasingly dizzy, amplifying the despair that now enveloped her. Finally, her unanimated eyes ended up shutting by themselves because that light was no longer. 5 minutes have past, and Bond decided to enter the room and get near his mistress's bed to somehow reassure her , with the image of a bright near future that was made of Anya herself, Loid and Yor all gathered around a picnic at the near park, in the middle of that picnic she felt asleep and Yor decided to hold her tight with a warm blanket so that she won't get cold, while Loid was as usual walking Bond however, in the middle of that walk they met up with an unfamiliar face with an unusual style of hair, the color of it was the same as the color of what it looked like his dog, it was of a deep dark navy blue; she didn't know why but the air between the two of them seemed tense
Anya wasn't the only one to think of the hair cut as unusual, an old man would eventually point it out directly to the concerned one.
"What an unusual cut you have here young man" the cashier asked, "are you a foreigner or something" he added handing Fushiguro his change.
