Volume 1: Chapter 2 - Part 2

Author: Geraint

After changing to my new clothes, I came out of my room when I heard a loud bang next door and I saw Shiina wearing a maid uniform while knocking on door in Yuuka's room.

"Yuuka-sama!"

I went towards her and asked:

"Shiina, what's wrong? Isn't it today that she was supposed to go to her acting job?"

"Umm... Seir--Yuki-sama, she..."

"Just call my name normally. I'm suppose to be your friend, not your master. You're just helping with your mom's job."

"Okay then... Yuki-kun. Shouldn't you already start calling me with my first name? Shiina is my family name, not my first name."

"Shiina?"

"I already told you, it's Ayaka! I want you to call me Ayaka! I know you're making fun of me!" she got mad and pouted to me.

"Let's make it a bit shorter. How about 'Aya'?"

"Huh?"

Shiina froze and her whole face turned red.

"Nah, let's me just call you 'Shiina'. It's easier to remember."

I walked pass her and went downstairs.

"Eh!"

Since Mia-san came out with her daughter, I went to visit in her room. After knocking at the door three times, she responded:

*Who's there?*

"It's me, Seir."

*Who?*

I know what she's trying to tell me and I have no choice but to comply with her wish.

"It's me, your son... Yuki." I'm embarrassed to say it.

*Yuki-kun? I won't let you inside until you call me 'Mommy'.*

"Hey!"

...

Her silence was telling me to do it or she won't talk to me.

"I just have something to ask, Mom!" I felt embarrassed again.

*I'm fine with that. From now on, you should call me your Mom or next time I won't respond to you.*

"Fine!"

*The door is unlocked. You can come inside.*

When I opened the door and look inside, I found Mia-san doing some work on her table. Several paperwork piled up high on her table and the floor that it covered over her completely.

"Do you need some help, Mom?"

"No, I'm fine. Most of them are finished already."

"Okay."

"What do you want to ask me?"

I found a chair and sat on it while while asking:

"It's about Yuuka. Did something happened to her work?"

Her hands halted from writing then she took off her glasses and she sighed, leaning her back on her chair.

"Unfortunately, she has been replaced and someone has already took over her role in every projects. She's not qualified anymore to the acting job and forced to retire. Well, with what happened to her in that accident, it's already in her expectations to happen but she still can't accept the truth."

I became silent with what happened to Yuuka.

"I'm such a horrible mother. I can't do anything about it and I even understand the situation of those agencies from business perspective."

"You don't have blame yourself about it, the accident wasn't your fault and you didn't want it to happen."

"What am I gonna do with Yuuka? She's been shutting herself in her room ever since we returned back from the hospital. This will cause her to become shut in or they called it here Japan 'Hikikomori'." Mia-san looks worried.

"Don't worry, Mom. Since doesn't need to show herself into the public, I can completely heal her injured left eye without raising a suspicion."

I stood up and was about to left the room.

"See you later, Mom."

"Wait!"

"Huh?" I halted and glanced back to her.

"Thank you for helping us, Yuki-kun. You already done a lot for us." she smiled.

"Don't feel indebted. I'll make sure that you and Yuuka will pay me back with my request in the future. I'm still a half-demon after all." I went out of the room and gently closed the door.

When I went upstairs, I saw Shiina still waiting in front of Yuuka's room and she looks very worried.

"Yuuka! Can you come out and talk with me?!" I yelled.

*Go away!* she responded.

"If you don't come out, I'm gonna bust this door open!"

*I'm gonna call the police and make them arrest you!* she warned.

"I don't care! Stay back, Shiina."

When Shiina moved away from me, I counted before kicking the door.

"Okay, one! two--"

*Wait!*

I halted then Yuuka opened the door quickly and she came out of her room while still wearing her dress. There were traces of tears in her face that she cried.

"What's is wrong with you?! Trying to destroy someone's door--"

I grabbed her wrist and pulled her.

"Let's talk downstairs!"

"Hey! Stop!" she struggled and refused to come with me. I didn't have any choice but carry her like a luggage in my shoulders.

"Kyah! Hey! Let me go! I'm gonna call my Mom if you don't put me down!"

"You mean, our Mom."

When we arrived in the arrived in the living room, I placed her down in the couch then I sat on her side. She got tired from yelling too much.

"Have you calm down now?"

"Hmph!" she acted coldly to me and didn't want to speak.

"Take off your eye-patch."

"Huh? Why would I do that?"

"Hurry up and take it off! Don't waste my time!" she got intimidated by my voice and became teary-eyed but in the end, she took off her eye-patch, showing me her vacant eye socket with a big scar from lacerations and stitches.

While staring at it, Tears are falling from her right eye and her body started to tremble.

"Are you happy now?"

"I'm not. Without the eye, I won't be able to heal it completely. It would still be a empty eye socket."

"So, it's impossible... even for someone like you."

Hearing her sad tone, I responded:

"I didn't say it's impossible. To return your eyesight, I just have to use a different method."

I opened a void in a empty space which is some kind of dimensional storage where I stored all my things for safe-keeping.

"It should be around here... Oh! I found it!"

I took out a small crystal ball with rainbow color.

Yuuka's right eye widened seeing the crystal ball.

"What is that thing? It looks beautiful."

"It may not look it but this is actually an eye. I'm gonna replace your left eye with this so don't move."

I touched Yuuka's left upper and lower eyelid and opened her eye socket, placing the small crystal ball inside and it lit up a blinding light. The scars around her left eye slowly healed and faded out until she became pretty again without those scars.

"Huh?"

When she slowly opened her left eye, the iris of new eye has a rainbow color and she's now have a heterochromia which has different eye colors.

"What do you think? Can you see with your left eye now?" I asked while smiling to her.

Tears slowly falls from her eyes as she glanced towards me.

"Why are you still crying? Aren't you glad that you got your vision back in your left eye?"

"Nope, I'm just happy and speechless..."

I took out a mirror from my dimensional storage and showed her face on it.

"Why don't you take a look?"

Her eyes widened seeing the scar on her left eye disappeared and her new left eye which became more colorful.

"My new eye... it's look so beautiful!"

She suddenly hopped on and embraced me tightly as she cried.

"Thank you... Seir--No. Onii-sama." she was trembling in happiness.

Being happy for her, I patted her in the head.
