-----------
Remaining in an awkward atmosphere to talk, something unusual, since Rinka was the one leading the way in lightening the mood.
—How was school for you?—
—Well, uh, done, friends, they give homework and the stupid classmates behave like children.
-But they are still children-.
Not being able to tell Rinka that it seemed to have something to do with her bad mood before she came to pick her up.
—Did they do something to you?—
—... aaaaah, you should look ahead when you're driving—.
—You are more important than safety—.
—I'm here too, you know.
—Don't notice the small details—.
Raising her eyebrow at this, Rinka grabs her suitcase and starts hitting Javier.
—Careful! Wait, it hurts, stop, Rinka-chan—.
—Hmph, that's what happened to you for trying to act cool in front of me... Well, a lot of things happened to me at school.
After venting to Javier, she began to tell.
—The idiot sempais from the karate club used us as their training bag, it makes me angry just thinking about it, not only did they settle for that, they forced us to clean the club and the tools, seriously the worst—.
—But that wasn't the only thing, otherwise you wouldn't have said your classmates were children.
—Listen! Those fucking brats played a practical joke on me while I was chatting about some nice clothes Ion-chan showed us. Those ruffians made me die a thousand years.
—...straight to your anus—.
—...—.
Knowing what that means, he nods.
—¡¡Ahahahahaha!!—.
—Don't laugh!—.
—Ahahaha ouch, ouch, I'm against domestic violence—.
Resuming the conversation after he punched Javier in the sides.
—In the end, what do you plan to do with her?—.
—I didn't tell you anything, I just plan to play with her body from time to time—.
"So why did you give her ten years? I don't understand your method beyond the fact that you want to make her addicted to you. But if you were going to do it anyway, why do it?"
"Sayaka used to be addicted to drugs because of her father. Her only relief was taking drugs and masturbating, repeating the cycle of addiction. How will our Sayakas end up now?"
"Considering that being with you is the best drug for women. If she left the house, it wouldn't take long for her to resort to irrational sex, along with drugs to give herself more pleasure, but since I've never done drugs, I can't say more."
With the same thoughts as Rinka, he nods.
—Why do they talk about me as if you knew everything?—.
Rinka turned to look at Sayaka, who was adjusting her skirt that was fluttering in the wind.
—A good party, right, Saya-chan—.
He greeted Rinka while looking at her.
—...Rinrin-chan, where are we?—.
Blushing, she looked away.
—Lost? We're almost home, Saya-chan.
Understanding, she looks at her legs, noticing that she was barefoot, she remembered the crazy thing she did, she covered her red face with her hands.
—I want to die—.
—Ehehehe, it's not that bad—.
—...—.
Raising his head, he remembers something much more important.
-It's all this guy's fault-.
—It's your fault! It's all your fault! I won't be able to go back to school, I won't even be able to go out after that, because of you!!—.
—Ahahaha—.
Javier laughed as if he didn't care that he was going to be hanged, they arrived at the mansion.
—Well down there—.
Javier seeing that Sayaka did not come down.
—Down, down, down, down, down, down, down…—.
Repeat tirelessly.
—Shut up! Are you a child or what?
Annoyed, she had to get out slamming the truck door, turning to look at Javier, and extending her hand.
—Do you want to give me your paw? How nice.
—No, you idiot! What you took from me.
Amused by Sayaka's expressions, Javier handed over the socks and shoes.
-Lack-.
—Mm? I don't think so, I already gave you everything—.
Looking at each other's faces, a soft breeze blows through the place.
—Mm—.
Escaping a soft moan that she suppresses, Sayaka covers her skirt that was lifted by the wind, shooting a fierce look at Javier.
—Okay, let's go in.
But I ignore her.
-Hey!-.
Sayaka screamed in frustration.
—Leave it, I don't think he'll give it back to you—.
Giving a little advice, Sayaka looks at her from beside her.
—I'll take something away from you too—.
—No… But if he has the same attitude that any man would have when he has something from a woman, he won't return it to you.
—Ahhh—.
She let out a long sigh, resigning herself to recovering the forcibly torn panties. As soon as she remembered the sensation of being raped in the middle of the street, which could only be described as powerlessness and pleasure in her womb, Sayaka, her cheeks flushed, wiggled her ass like a bitch in heat.
—Well, although I don't know what he did to you to make you give up 'your freedom', it seems you're not in a bad mood anymore.
Leaving the word, 'Freedom', in quotation marks, Sayaka looked away.
—You knew it, right?—
Wanting to confirm it.
Rinka, who had already crossed the door, turned around and confirmed it with a smile.
—And what else did you expect? People who go through our experience can't live like before.
—I knew it, Rinrin-chan you're a bitch—.
—Ehehe, you're right...—.
Tinting his eyes into a feelingless emptiness, he smiled widely at Sayaka.
—Saya-chan, it's better that you have Javier Onii-chan's forgiveness, now that you've finally reconsidered, I won't have to make you meet some 'very kind' Oji-san like I did to Otome-nee—.
Feeling a chill run through her body, Sayaka didn't doubt Rinka's words that she would dare to do it, just as she told her before.
-He's serious-.
—Ehehe—.
He smiled at Sayaka before walking in as if nothing had happened.
—She's crazy…—.
Feeling like a watery liquid running down her thigh, imagining the future things she would have to do to be forgiven by Javier, Sayaka took a deep breath and walked, ignoring the wind that was blowing her skirt, allowing her pale backside to show.
—... I'm here, Shio, what are you doing?—.
Entering the study room where Asahi was studying and Shio was playing with clay at another table.
—Welcome, Javier-kun, look, this is you, Ehehehe, just like you—.
He pointed to the little clay doll that, although it looked nothing like Javier, rubbed his head.
—Oh, amazing Shio, he looks so much like me. Who is this?—.
—Mami, Onii-chan, Rinka onee-chan, Saka onee-chan, Yami Onee-chan and this is me, we make a big family!—.
Happy to see the naivety in Shio's smile.
—Ehehe, shall we play, Javier-kun?—.
—What do you want to play?—.
—To the little house—.
Proposing the game, Javier looks at Asahi who was still studying.
—You don't play with Asahi—.
—I've already played with Onii-chan all day, now I want to play with Javier-kun—.
—It can't be helped if you want to play with me—.
Although he sounded reluctant, the silly father's smile gave him away as he sat down.
—We can play for a little while, lunch isn't long now and I want to go change.
—Okay… Here, dear, look after Tanya-chan while I go out to do the shopping.
—... You leave her in good hands, wife, may it go well for you—.
—Ehehehe, then I'll be right back—.
With the clay doll gone, Shio Kobe began gathering small pieces of clay before returning.
-Now that I realize it, Shio has nothing else to have fun with, no toys, no friends her age, isn't this bad?!-.
Thinking about the future, Javier stares lost at the clay doll that fit in one hand.
—Wh... O, wa...r, darling—.
—Ah, ah... sorry, I fell asleep—.
Still acting, Shio expressed concern as she stroked Javier's hair.
—You're tired, dear, it's long after coming home from work.
—There's nothing to worry about… and that's it—.
—The food—.
Quickly changing her expression, Shio begins to place the clay balls she collected on the table.
—Buy rice, oil, a can of mmm—.
-Corn-.
Javier whispered.
—Yes, corn, I also brought milk...—.
Continuing with the game, Yami enters.
(What do they do?)
—Playing house, right Shio—.
—Right, Yami Onee-chan, look, this is you—.
(nice)
Yami smiled.
—She says it's nice—.
Helped translate for Shio.
—Oh, Ehehehe—.
Pleased with the way she was being praised, Javier continued to think about various things.
(Javier, what is that you have in your hand?)
—Huh, this is my daughter Tanya-chan—.
—I'm your mommy—.
Without noticing the slight drooping of Yami's left eyebrow, Javier and Shio continued playing house.
—The food is ready, Shio, wash your hands.
—Yessss... Javier-kun, do you want to be my daddy?—.
Fleeing after letting out his wish that he hesitated for a few seconds to say, Javier accidentally crushed the clay figure.
—Cough, cough, cough...—.
—E-Asahi water! Drink some water.
Choking on her own saliva, Yuuna, who heard him call for lunch, ran to get water, and Javier, who was stunned.
The only one who didn't seem surprised was Yami, who was the ringleader who encouraged her to see Javier as a father. Although it only made things worse.
—...—.
Not knowing how to proceed, Javier didn't even notice Yami looking at him for his answer.
—I-I'm going to wash my hands—.
He escaped.
—Y-Yami-san, help me set the table—.
Stiff as a door that needed its hinges greased, Yuuna returned to the dining room with Yami following her.
------
Everyone gathered at the table, Rinka and Sayaka, who knew what had happened in the study hall, noticed that everyone was acting strange.
Being a silent meal where only the chopsticks could be heard, occasionally touching the plate, Shio, restless, looked a few times at Javier who had not touched his food and then at Yami.
Nodding Yami signaling for her to continue, Shio asked in a low voice.
—Javier-kun… What did I say before?—.
Startled by Shio's murmur that echoed throughout the dining room, three pairs of eyes fell on Javier.
—Listen Shio—.
Javier said as he pushed his plate aside.
—Y-yes!—.
Nervous, I wait for the answer.
—I'm sorry, but I can't be your father.
Shio's little face clouded, faced with Javier's refusal, and she lowered her head, looking at the plate.
—Hey, hey, what's going on, I'm lost—.
—Silence Rinrin-chan—.
Shushing her, Sayaka looked at Shio who was trembling, tears falling onto her plate.
—My love, don't be sad, come, come, give me an arm…!—.
Wanting to hug Shio, Yuuna is rejected. Shocked, she tried to hug him, but each time Shio pushed her away with his arms.
—Shio, why do you want me to be your father? —
Drawing the attention of everyone at the table, Javier ignores them.
—She's just a kid, she doesn't know what she's saying, Javier.
—It's not you I asked, Asahi. Now tell me, why?—.
Although Asahi was annoyed by Javier's arrogant attitude towards him, he looked at Shio as well, so he would respond.
—... On television I saw... a father and daughter playing... he also carried her... and when they returned home, the mother welcomed them happily and scolded them for making a mess, the house was warm, they were happy... Shio wants Javier-kun to be Shio's daddy—.
To be clear, Javier, not knowing what to say, scratched the back of his neck.
—Why me? You have Yuuna and Asahi, they're family, they love you, there's no need for a father.
—He's different! Very different... Javier-kun is different! Shio doesn't have a daddy, but every time I ask Onii-chan and Mami, they make faces of pain and suffering.
—S-Shio that—.
Not knowing how to explain what happened to her father, Yuuna's face became distressed just by remembering the shadow of that man.
Asahi didn't have the best expression, his expression was one of anger and disgust. Javier had no intention of speaking up for the man either.
—Shio just wants a daddy, Javier-kun makes Shio feel protected. Shio wants Javier-kun to become her daddy, can't you?—.
With tears in his eyes, Javier couldn't tear his gaze away from Shio's clear, pure eyes.
-Ahh, this is hard to refuse-.
—I'm sorry, but you can't be my daughter—.
Hearing a resounding refusal, Shio's eyes blurred with tears that ran down her cheeks.
—Shio…Shio…Shio…I wanted…a daddy, uwa…—.
Bursting into tears, Javier stands up and disappears from the dining room. At the same time, Shio's crying stops, having disappeared from the dining room.
----------
[Temple of the Hentai God]
—Don't cry, Shio, you'll look ugly if you cry—.
—It doesn't matter, Shio doesn't have daddy!
—What a thing—.
Sitting on Javier's lap, Shio continued to hide her face with her arm.
Sitting on his stone seat, Javier takes Shio in his arms, standing up to head to the entrance of his temple.
—Look, Shio, outside—.
—Hug... !—.
Behaving rebelliously in not wanting anything, Shio lowered her arm to look.
Having no words to discern the sight, Shio's large blue eyes shone at the sight.
—Impressive right, this is my planet Dedaria—.
—...—.
—Hehehe, even if there are no flies, it's not good to have your mouth open, Shio—.
He gently lifted Shio's chin, who was speechless.
—I can't become your father, but you can become my stepdaughter—.
—... Stepdaughter? What is that? —.
Javier is happy to have your attention and explains.
—Stepdaughter means that I adopted you as my daughter verbally, of course.
Lowering her carefully, he knelt in front of her, taking her small hands.
—What are you saying, you'll turn this poor God into your stepfather—.
Javier smiled sadly, while the planet Dedaria illuminated Shio's back.
—Y-you'll become Shio's daddy—.
—Stepfather... yes—.
—Mm, mm, mm—.
Throwing herself into Javier's arms, she cries with joy.
—I told you not to cry, a pretty girl doesn't cry or she'll get ugly—.
—Mmm, I'm not crying... I'm not crying—.
Wiping away the tears that rolled down her cheeks with Javier's clothes, her small arms hugged Javier, smiling at him as she looked up.
Tiny!!

—Something's wrong, Daddy—.
—Uh, oh nothing, nothing's wrong…—.
-Damn, I didn't expect this to happen when I adopted Shio-.
He had no choice but to accept it when he saw that the one that worried him most was sealed.
—What do you think of my planet?—.
Sitting on the step, he sits Shio between his legs.
—It's beautiful… but it's a little sad—.
Shio swings her legs while leaning against Javier's stomach, saying those words while her blue eyes shined faintly.
—True, it's a shame I can't do much more, but the future will be different. My planet Dedaria will be beautiful, with lots of life.
—I want to see it too, Daddy, would you bring me?—.
-Clear-.
I declare, hugging Shio.
—Daddy… hey, daddy—.
-Tell me-.
-I'm hungry-.
He said, touching his belly.
Listening to her, he remembered that they were in the middle of eating.
—Me too, let's go back—.
Leaving the Hentai God temple, they appeared in the hall.
—Shio!—.
Hearing Yuuna's scream, Shio separates from Javier.
—Mommy—.
Javier runs into Yuuna's arms, standing up. He notices Yuuna's tears in her eyes from how worried she is.
—I'm sorry for carrying you like this—.
—Mmm, Yami already explained to me, you took her to your temple, right?
A little out of place, Javier had never told anyone about his temple, staring at Yami, he turned towards the table.
—Mommy, I'm hungry—.
—Then let's go—.
Holding Shio's hand, Javier sees Asahi walking with a sour face.
—You did something to him—.
Pla (hitting sound).
He received a finger poke on the forehead.
-Damned!-.
—Idiot, who would do anything to an 8-year-old girl, even if they're a Hentai God? I have principles, now let's eat.
Offended, Javier retreats to the dining room.
—...I think I said something wrong—.
Asahi whispered.
Scratching his head, Asahi looks at Javier who had already sat down to eat.
—Rinka-chan, Sayaka, I'm not going to school tomorrow—.
-Because?-.
Listening to Javier speak, Asahi sits in her seat and watches the interaction with Rinka and Sayaka.
—I'm planning to go out with Shio tomorrow.
—... Javier that—.
—Daddy, you'll be with Shio tomorrow!—.
Daddy!!! X 4
Startled by those words, little Shio was amazed by the news.
—What do you mean by going with Shio?!, Mr. Javier—.
Yuuna stood up on the defensive, her presence frightening Shio into remaining calm.
—I understand that this situation bothers you. As Shio's mother, it's acceptable, but Yuuna. You've bought her clothes and a notebook to study for, but there aren't any girl toys.
-That...-.
Lowering the presence of a shy girl, Javier clinked his glass.
—You understand, tomorrow I'll spend time with Shio, show him the city and buy him toys and stuffed animals—.
—It's not your duty to do that, I can buy him off.
—I haven't paid you yet—.
—Woof—.
Letting out a loser's groan, Javier pulls a thick envelope out of his dimensional pocket.
—Yuuna tell me, how many days have you worked?—.
—... 9 days—.
He answered her after remembering.
—Yes, only 9 days, which means you shouldn't have your straw yet, but here's an advance of 200,000 yen.
—T-Two hundred thousand!!… but this is a lot—.
Stunned by the amount of money in her hands, Yuuna saw that money suddenly appear in a pile.
—It's not much, it's the right amount, you wash, iron, do the chores, the house isn't small, it's a big mansion, the children help too, but they wouldn't stay as clean and that's just part of it, I'm going to give you money every two weeks and at the end of the month, the amount is six hundred thousand yen—.
—S-s-six hundred thousand!!—.
Screaming at the absurd amount of money she would earn, Yuuna's eyes began to roll into yen shapes.
-Listen!-.
-Yeah!-.
—I'll manage your money from now on.
—Wait, we appreciate you giving us shelter and food, but my mommy's money is another matter.
—Asahi w-wait—.
—Have you never heard of the saying, {If you have too many hands, you want to go crazy}?
—What does that mean?—.
—It's easy, you saw Yuuna's reaction just now, for little money she didn't know what to do—.
—My mom isn't like that—.
—It isn't, but if she knows that's what she'll earn she'll want to give everything to you, you Asahi are already forming, your childhood has been hard, but you know that money drives people crazy, but Shio doesn't, she's small and intelligent, although they weren't raised in an extravagant way, Yuuna will want to give her everything she didn't have, there will be a problem, that's why you shouldn't give too much to the children—.
Under Javier's forceful words, neither Asahi nor Yuuna could refute any truth in his words.
—Well, Asahi, how have you been doing in the kitchen? You know how to cook something.
-That...-.
Turning her gaze to her mother, Yuuna smiles brightly.
—He's doing well, he helps me with lunch and sometimes with my snack.
Showing pride in her son's progress, Yuuna smiles at him. Asahi, blushing in shyness, scratches his cheek and looks away.
—Eheheh—.
—Well, if that's the case, by the way, girls, do you have any plans for Golden Week?—.
Javier is showing impatience, Rinka and Sayaka's eyes meet and one of them smiles at him.
—Sorry, Javier Onii-chan, but I have training at my club—.
—Hey, and you Sayaka—.
Putting hope in Sayaka he smiles at her.
—Sorry, but it's the same, I have a club—.
Dejected, Javier lowers his head.
As if enjoying Javier's disappointment, Sayaka laughed inwardly.
—And what did you need us for, Javier?
—Mmm. A hidden spot will open during Golden Week.—
—Hidden place!—. X2
-What's that?-.
Rinka's face showing excitement, Javier explains to them.
"There are places like that all over the world, either left behind by the ancient Gods or formed on their own. Their locations are dangerous for ordinary people. I thought I'd go and take you both, so you could experience that kind of world."
Stupefied, the two looked at each other, communicating with their eyes. Javier spoke first.
—But since you're busy, I'll go with Yami—.
Rinka and Sayaka were dejected, a smile formed on Javier's face.
-Heh, I'm not someone easy to approach-.
Whether or not she knew what Javier was thinking, Sayaka was defeated along with Rinka.
(I'm not going).
—Hey, because if we go together it will be fun.
(I don't like spending too much time away from home, so I don't go.)
—But it's only a few days—.
Under Yami's reluctant gaze, Javier fell defeated.
—Shio wants to accompany daddy—.
—You can't, Mr. Javier said it was dangerous.
-But-.
-No-.
-Yeah-.
Under Yuuna's gaze, Shio sat quietly. Breathing out, Yuuna looked at Asahi beside her, who shook his head.
—Yami, silly, now I have to go alone—.
(You can take Polaris)
—Impossible, I'd better take the Empress with me.
While the discussion about who Javier would take continued, the plates were cleared away. Sensing someone was arriving, Javier disappeared from the room, and Yami followed him.
In front of the gate was a black trailer.
—Delivery to Valderrama—.
Signaling him to continue, Javier and Yami followed the man to the door of the container where he was already opening the seals and revealing the cargo.
Inside were three pillars, each 3 m in diameter by 8 m long, made of bone-white rock.
{Nerran Rock; imbued with energy, they are not rare, but they are expensive; as expected of the Ryuto clan, they are fast.}
—Here it is—.
The man came back from the cabin with a trunk.
Opening it, Javier finds packaged meats of different species.
—Oh, more than enough. You can go now.—
He said and suddenly the trailer had changed position, now with its head facing the road and the container near the gate.
Javier, who had already taken the three pillars and the trunk into his dimensional pocket, did not give any more importance to the man who was stunned.
—Well, well, well, this food will be enough for tomorrow's barbecue, and with the 'Nerran rock' I can create a road so it doesn't look like this.
(A good, is more than vast)
—... I'll keep that in mind.
Javier, who had not realized at some point, was influenced by Yami.
------------
—Give it to me, Yami—.
(No, take it)
—No, no, give it to me.
A few hours later, Javier, who had already changed and showered, began to argue with Yami.
—I'm going to take the Empress with me and sleep with her. Give her to me!—
(Take Polaris, get along with her better, then you can have the Empress)
Holding the Empress in his arms, Yami moves to the side and Javier appears with his arms outstretched.
—Give it to me—.
He warned Yami.
(No)
Unafraid of Javier, they both began moving at speeds faster than sound, causing the windows to shake. Their figures appeared on the ceiling, walls, and the table, always in a different position. Yami dodging, while Javier tried to catch her.
In each one, Yami always had the little Empress between her breasts, which she kneaded with her paws.
—Give it to me now, Yami—.
(It's not a no, you don't know how to obey).
—Shut up and give it to me—.
Leaving the dining room where they'd moved, they headed into the hallway. Javier followed her, while Yami backed away, unafraid of running into the wall.
Entering the kitchen, they both soon stop, having the presence of Yuuna and a half-finished glass of water in her hand.
—Mr. Javier! What are Yami-san doing?!—.
Neither of them responded, staring into each other's eyes, Javier moving his foot a few inches. Yami didn't move, not caring what he would do.
—Excuse me...—.
Unable to finish Yuuna, Javier took Yami's place, while she stood to the side, just inches away from their skin touching. Javier, performing an action that wouldn't normally be possible for a human, turned 80 degrees, disregarding the bones in his waist.
Yami, not seeming surprised by this, joins hands with Javier's, just like a couple's handshake.
(Stop at once)
—First, give it to me, today I want to sleep with the Empress—.
The look on Yami's face moves down to the breasts stretching the fabric, which the Empress was enjoying.
—Daddy, here you are!... Mmm, Yami Onee-chan, what are you doing?—.
—Stop, oh Shi—.
Again unable to finish, Yuuna saw Javier disappear now behind Shio.
"Shio! Yami is bullying me!"
—Ehhh—.
—hya—.
(...)
Not understanding what was happening with Javier, Shio and Yuuna stunned, Yami narrowed her eyes when she saw that something was wrong, but she kept watching.
—... Daddy, what's wrong? Because Yami Onee-chan would bully you.
Still not knowing what was going on, Shio played along.
—Yami doesn't want to give me to the Empress—.
—Yami Onee-chan..., that's true—.
Seeing Javier about to cry, Shio saw Yami holding the Empress in his arms.
(He doesn't want to have Polaris, that's why I don't give him the Empress)... (Yuuna help me tell that to Shio)
Behaving like a spoiled brat, he refused to translate. Yami, having no one else to do it, asked Yuuna to do it.
—I- I understand, daddy, you shouldn't bully Polaris—.
—But… I understand, I won't do it again, but I will sleep with the Empress and Polaris—.
Unable to refuse under Shio's gaze, Javier accepted, but Yami did not return the Empress, but left the kitchen.
—Mr. Javier, you are fine, you are just behaving strangely.
Showing her concern, Yuuna approaches Javier who was standing behind Shio.
—... Yes, I'm sorry if I showed you a pathetic side... Did you need me for something, Shio?—.
Standing up while rubbing her forehead, Yuuna, still worried, remained silent. Shio turned around and with a radiant smile looked up.
—Daddy, read me a story—.
—A story, mmm...—.
Thoughtful about something, Javier rubbed Shio's little head.
—What story would you like to hear?—.
—Anyone Daddy wants to tell me—.
—Ehehe, then let's go to the classroom... but we can't forget about the lessons, after that, I'll tell you the story—.
—Hurry up, daddy!—.
Dragged by Shio who was pulling him, Javier with a smile took Shio in his arms and ran.
Between the footsteps and Shio's laughter, Yuuna was left alone in the kitchen again.
"I'm happy, but I feel like Shio is being taken away from me. No, no, don't think about that. I'm worried about Mr. Javier right now; it's not normal for his mood to change so quickly."
Leaving the kitchen, Yuuna went to look for Yami.
Finding Yami thanks to the map Javier gave her so she always knew where and who was inside the mansion. Yuuna entering the room next to Javier's, with shelves that reached the double-height ceiling.
—Yami-san can I talk to you?—
(What do you want to talk about?)
—Yes, about the change Mr. Javier has had now… it may sound nosy for sticking my nose where it doesn't belong, but I'm worried about this change in personality.
(Are you worried?)
—For better or worse, my daughter has shown an interest in Mr. Javier… Shio has never had a father figure and so far I'm glad she hasn't gotten involved with that man… I know I haven't been the best of mothers, spending half the day at work or searching while leaving her locked in the room… That's why I want you to help me. Mr. Javier listens to you, or rather, you're the one he trusts the most, although we've only been here a few days, I've seen your interaction… It's selfish of me, but I don't want Shio to suffer, she's a sensitive girl, that's why—.
—I heard you—.
—!—.
The soft voice resonates in Yuuna's brain that paralyzes, not from fear but from an illegible charm that drags you.
Those heterochromatic eyes, black and another cyan, were once happy and showed naivety, now they showed tranquility, but what could be seen beneath that false tranquility was cunning and unbridled.
Standing tall, her already tall stature of 1.80 cm, combined with her presence alone that exuded authority, made her look like a sturdy obelisk that would never crack, capable of withstanding the heavens.
Yuuna, who didn't know what was happening, but without hearing the footsteps she was moving silently, which were always heard when she walked, without realizing it. She held her chin, looking into her eyes.
—Uh, ah…—.
—From now on, you don't have to worry. Javier will be Shio's father. There will be difficult situations, but nothing that escapes Javier's control. As for his health, there won't be any problems either. Unless he's stubborn enough, I'll have no choice but to keep him in chains.
—You may speak—.
—Ehehe, why couldn't I?—.
—...—.
Not knowing how to respond to Yami's bewitching smile, Yuuna could briefly see stars that were impossible to count being drawn in and others rejoicing.
-I'll be one of those stars too-.

—Keep it a secret, just between the two of us—.
—Y-yes—.
—Good girl—.
He said, gently touching her cheek, as if she were a beloved daughter.
As Yami left, Yuuna was stunned, not knowing what had happened, she touched her cheek, still feeling the warmth and sensation.
