"Anya-san. May I know why would you be out in the streets alone in the dark?" Xyrus was curious so he asks.
Anya seems to hesitate at first, but she still told him about what happened earlier.
"I see. Then where are you going now? Now that you run away you must have no home to go to right?" Xyrus asks her.
"Un." Bowing her head in sadness, Anya knew her situation now.
'System, can I bring her back to my world?' Xyrus wanted to bring the cute little thing back into his world.
Maybe he could adopt her and be her father, after all, Xyrus hasn't experienced being a parent even after living for so many years.
[No. Sensei will need to buy a ticket from the shop that could bring someone to your world.]
Not liking what he heard, Xyrus instead offered her something, "How about I help you? I could create a Homunculus who could serve as your guardian temporarily."
"Homunculus?" Tilting her head, Anya was confused at the word.
"Hmmm, well Homunculus is exactly like a human but at the same time not since they have no soul, or emotions and only follow instructions and commands."
"???" A bunch of question marks kept appearing on top of her head.
"Anyway, you could treat it as your bodyguard or something." Since she can't understand the gist of it, he just told her the basics.
"Bodyguard?!" Director Chimera who had been just silent all this time, felt as if something just threatens his position, and hearing the word bodyguard, Director panicked and immediately tried to refuse.
"Wait wait! I'm Anya-sama's bodyguard! You can't just replace me with someone Anya-sama didn't know? And besides, I'm definitely much cuter than that homunculus, right Anya-sama?!" Director panicky said before posing in a cute pose in front of Anya.
Unfortunately for him, Anya was too busy imagining her walking in the middle with sunglasses while 2 of her bodyguards with huge builds were walking side by side her, protecting her from harm, while everyone was stepping aside, giving her and her bodyguards a pathway. She feels like she is safe from any danger.
"Hehehe...." Anya drools at the thought of it.
"A-Anya-sama?" Seeing that Anya wasn't paying attention to him, Director tried to call her a few more times but to no avail, Anya was too busy in her own fantasy.
At this time, Xyrus was already creating 2 Homunculus that will protect Anya and find some work to earn money for their expenses.
And since they're Homunculus, they don't need to eat, piss, sleep, or anything that normal humans do.
However, the only problem is their identity, since this world is close to a modern world, then the Homunculus would need an identity to avoid the Government and unnecessary troubles.
An Idea formed in Xyrus's mind, so without hesitation, he planted a magic skill on each of the homunculi.
Since he could only stay here for an hour, then he could only give both of the Homunculus a magic skill that could change their appearance using magic.
And since mana doesn't exist here, they could only replenish their mana through sunlight energy which then will filter the energy into mana using their body.
With that, they don't need to hide since they could just copy someone's face.
Not only that, he could give both of them a bunch of martial arts techniques and such.
So having solved that, he only has half an hour left, so he engraved the commands and instructions towards the homunculi and finally gave them clothes to wear.
And by the way, both of the homunculi are male and female respectively, the same goes for whatever appearance they will copy, it will only be on what their gender is.
And before he forgot, he also gave the male some knowledge about engineering and such while giving the female knowledge about cooking and embroidery.
Of course, he did all of this inside a mirror dimension, he doesn't want to expose magic in this world.
Once he was done, he finally turns around and saw Kanae and Director looking at him with their shiny eyes that resemble a star.
"C-cool." Director unknowingly said.
"From now on, both of them will be your bodyguards and will be the ones who will take care of your needs from now on."
"Waaahh." Anya with her mouth open was excited when she heard him, she then continued with a...
"Waku Waku!"
Seeing Anya's excited expression, Xyrus can't help but marvel at her cuteness and felt a sense of pride and achievement in his heart.
He also felt something as if he wanted to protect this cute angel or something.
"Anyways, you could name them if you want." Having said that, he stepped aside and let Anya see the homunculi in their full glory.
Now, It was time to name them. So pointing her finger towards the male, she named, "Lala!"
Then turns her finger towards the female and also named her, "Nana!".
Both homunculus just nodded their heads. While Xyrus wasn't weirded out by her naming sense, after all, he has experience every weird things around the universe.
Nodding his head, Xyrus knew that it was finally time for him to go back, but before that.
Taking out a diamond necklace, he gave it to Anya.
Seeing the diamond necklace, Anya's face lit up and immediately grabbed the necklace from Xyrus's hand.
"It is an artifact that I created with the sole purpose of protecting its wearer." Xyrus said to her before continuing.
"Anyway, it is time for me to go." After saying his goodbye, Xyrus was about to go back when he felt someone tugging the sleeves of his cloth.
Looking back, he saw Anya looking at him with teary eyes, "Won't you stay with Anya? Did Anya do something bad?"
Crouching in front of her, Xyrus patted her head and said, "Don't worry, I'll only be gone for a few days, then I'll come back and pick you up, okay?"
"Then, you'll play with Anya right?" Anya recovered her cheery attitude and excitedly said.
Nodding his head, Xyrus said yes and finally stood but not before giving Anya one last look before the countdown finally reach 00:00 and he disappeared in blue lights, leaving Anya with her bodyguard's.
Meanwhile, Director Chimera doesn't know about Xyrus's promise to Anya, since he was too focused on glaring at the two homunculus who just stole his position.
Though he still has a position as someone Anya will cuddle in her bed.
