28 Chapter 23 - Father? Brother?

[3rd Person View]

Everyone in the bunker is currently gathered at the first floor of the bunker, Scáthach was called by Zahard after Sans restrained both Androssi and Chara.

Currently, Chara and Androssi are tied up in a chair for extra precaution in the case of an XK-Class Scena- I mean in case both of them couldn't hold back themselves and clash with the other person. Chara would undoubtedly clash with Androssi as soon as the blue string around her hands and feet is untied.

"Calmed down yet? If not, both of you are going to stay restrained for quite some time unless one of you calms down, Specifically you Chara." Zahard said in an intimidating tone which caused Chara to calm down a bit.

"Good, Now both of you are going to stay restrained there until I finish cooking our lunch." Zahard said before going towards the kitchen to cook their lunch.

While Zahard was cooking lunch, Scáthach looked at Chara and Androssi in confusion, "Why are they both tied up?" asked Scáthach.

"I also have no idea, the only thing i saw was that girl with the small horn pinning down Zahard. To be honest, it seemed like the girl with the horn was going to sexually assault Zahard based on their position if other people have seen it, which explains why the human girl almost went berserk upon seeing them." Sans said while shrugging.

"I have a fucking name, trashbag!" Chara complained at Sans.

"No fucks given kid, heh..." Sans laughed.

"So that's what happened, I see... So I'm guessing that this girl with a short horn is who Zahard just summoned," Scáthach said.

Androssi who was calm the entire time, was suddenly filled with shock after she heard what Scáthach said.

"W-wait, What did you just say?" Androssi asked Scáthach.

"Hm? You were summoned by him," Scáthach said while pointing at Zahard who was peacefully cooking food for lunch.

"No, no, no. Although that did surprise me, I'm asking about the other thing," Androssi said while shaking her head.

"Huh? What other thing?" Scáthach was confused as to what she meant by 'the other thing'.

"I meant the name of the person who's cooking food right now!" Androssi couldn't help but raise the tone of her voice, which pissed off Scáthach a bit but she managed to calm herself down and answer.

"His name is Zahard, Although I don't know whether It's his first name or last name," Scáthach answered.

Scáthach looked at Androssi's expression curiously as she didn't know why her lover's name surprised Androssi.

"H-he's my Father?!" Androssi accidentally raised her voice because of the shock she received.

"""Wait what?!""" Chara, Scáthach, and Sans yelled out in surprise.

"W-wait... Hold on... What is your name again kid?" Sans asked Androssi while massaging the temples of his skull, it was quite a strange sight for a skeleton to massage their temple.

"My name is Androssi Zahard, one of the Zahard Princesses. Zahard is my adopted father." Androssi proudly said, although there was a tinge of loneliness in her eyes when she said it.

When Sans, Scáthach and Chara learned her name, they were dumbfounded. Zahard didn't tell them that he had an adopted daughter.

Sans still wanted to ask for confirmation so he said, "Hold on, I'll ask Zahard about this," and immediately went to Zahard.

"What is it Sans? Lunch is almost ready so you can untie both of the girls now," Zahard said upon seeing Sans walking towards him.

"O-okay, but before that, I have something that I want to ask," Sans asked Zahard.

"Oh? Ask ahead then," Zahard said, he was interested in Sans' question.

"Starting off, You only told us that your name is Zahard, but you never told us your full name, Or is just Zahard your full name?" Sans asked.

"Slow down Sans, My full name is Axion Zahard, Zahard is my last name and my first name is Axion. I thought you guys didn't care about my full name, hahahaha." Zahard answered and laughed.

'Well kid, We wouldn't really care about your full name if it weren't for the fact that you might have an adopted daughter here.' Sans thought to himself.

"Second, Do you have an adopted daughter?" Sans asked Zahard again.

"Hm? No, I don't have an adopted daughter, I didn't even have a lover till now so why would I adopt a kid? I'm also still young you know? I'm only 20 years old." Zahard answered.

"Okay, I'll be back, Stay put there," Sans immediately rushed back to Scáthach and the others.

Scáthach saw Sans coming back and asked, "So what did he say?"

"Well, I asked the kid whether he has an adopted daughter and he said no," Sans answered.

"I see... Hey, Androssi was it? What was your father's name?" Scáthach turned to Androssi and asked.

"Zahard, just Zahard." Androssi answered.

"I also asked the kid for his full name, and he said that his full name was, Axion Zahard."

"Eh? I don't remember having a brother nor was there a Zahard prince..." Androssi said while trying to remember if she had any brother back in the tower.

"I'll ask the kid if he has a sister or not,"Sans said, before going back to Zahard who was still standing in the kitchen waiting for Sans to come back.

"Hey, welcome back, do you have any questions left?" Zahard asked Sans.

"Yeah, Do you have a sister?" Sans asked.

"Well... I had a sister... But she died along with my parents in a train accident..." Zahard became sad upon mentioning his dead relatives, he loved his family but a train accident had to take them away from him on a special day meant for Zahard and his family to celebrate and be happy.

"Oh... I'm sorry to hear that kid," Sans said and went back to Scáthach and the others.

"Okay, So I've got a good news and a bad news, I'll start with the good news." Sans said.

"""Okay then.""" Scáthach, Chara and Androssi said.

"Good news is, The kid had a sister,"Sans said.

"Wait... Had?" Chara asked.

"That's where the bad news comes in kid, Zahard's sister died along with his parents on an accident." Sans told them.

"That's...." Scáthach didn't continue what she was going to say and decided to just keep quiet.

Meanwhile, Zahard is currently initiating a special gacha roll, although he mostly got food, a Relatives detector which he didn't know the purpose of, and an anti-matter container filled with anti-matter. He didn't complain though, who wouldn't like free food? Plus an anti-matter container, He still didn't know how to use the Relatives detector.

The Relatives detector could be used to detect any Relatives you have in the world but the only problem was that, he didn't think that he'd have any relatives alive at all.

So he decided to keep it just in case he needs it in a special situation.

Back to Sans and the others, Sans just untied both Chara and Androssi to eat lunch, Chara already calmed down but she will never get along with Androssi, not that she was getting along with anyone except Zahard.

Sans and the others went to the kitchen to eat lunch, only to find a spaced out Zahard seemingly contemplating the secrets of life itself.

Zahard immediately snapped out of it and immediately placed the food into the table.

After all of them finished eating, Sans went back to his room and sleep, Scáthach went back to the third floor, and Chara went back to Zahard's room and continue playing.

Androssi on the other hand, didn't move but just looked at Zahard which made him shudder.

(A/N: Yes, I'm still calling him Zahard, You can forget his First name now.)

"Are you really not a Relative of mine?" Androssi asked, not taking her eyes off of him.

"Nope, Although we have the same surname, It's just a pure coincidence and not because we are related, and I think I'm not even worthy to be called a Zahard in your place when I'm this weak," Zahard said with a wry smile.

"That is true, It's not that anyone can beat me," Androssi smirked.

"Heh, I can't beat you, but that doesn't mean my lover can't," Zahard also gave her a smirk.

"Is that so? If your lover was that creepy girl then I hate to break it to you, she can't beat me at all," Androssi said while giving Zahard a mocking gaze.

"Chara? Oh no, She's not my lover," Zahard said.

'Atleast not yet,' Zahard thought to himself.

"You have seen the purple haired girl right? Her name is Scáthach, and she's my lover." Zahard proudly said, It's not everytime you can get a chance to show off your lover to anyone right?

"We'll see, I'll challenge her tomorrow so you can see that I'm truly undefeatable." Androssi said before standing up.

"Oh yeah, The Skeleton can also beat you." Zahard said with a smirk.

"Tsk, You are underestimating me too much for thinking that a skeleton could defeat me." Androssi got pissed off as she thought that Zahard was looking down on her.

"Well, I wasn't lying though, Don't say I didn't warn you, Princess." Zahard told Androssi before dozing off at the couch.

"Whatever," Androssi then went towards her room to take a rest.
