Edited by: Arezz

(E/N: I apologize for the last few days, I had a lot of work and some projects that needed my supervision and I didn't have much free time to check the files that Solate send me. I have whit me around 5-6 chaps and I'll try to get them ready in the next 2 days, I hope you keep supporting us, love you all <3 )

Yukio and Kunou walked through the Yokai faction area, during their tour all the Yokais present bowed and paid their respects, the children greeted cheerfully and occasionally greeted Kunou, this was quite natural, after all, Kunou played with many children during her stay here, even Yukio used to spend time with some Yokai children when he was around the place

Kunou who was at Yukio's side had an inflated cheek, she was clearly pouting

Kunou: "Why not? I know you can train me and I'll become very strong ... Mama said it"

She kept insisting on being trained, she could not understand why Yukio had rejected her from the start

Yukio: "I don't understand, why do you want to be strong? You should spend your happy time and then I will gladly help you"

Kunou: "No" She sighed and said "I want to be strong now ... I want to help, you know?"

Yukio massaged his forehead and sighed, it was not that he did not want to help her, it is that he didn't see that it was necessary, Kunou was hardly a teenage girl and didn't want her to waste her "childhood" trying to become strong and fighting against others

But seeing Kunou's attitude, Yukio knew that if he kept rejecting her request she might end up getting mad at him

Yukio: "Can you tell me what are you thinking of helping whit?"

Kunou nodded and began to explain: "I want to be able to help my mother, I know she is strong, but I also want to be ... If I became as strong as her, it's obvious that the position of the faction would also rise as a consequence

She was going to keep talking, but Yukio stopped her. "And, if it's only to raise the level and power of the faction, isn't it better if I just say I'm part of it?"

It was the most rational way, it would avoid many problems and certainly, no one would dare to try something lightly against the Yokai faction, but Kunou shook her head in reproach "It may be true, but it is your strength and not ours ... Do you think we like always being protected? we want to fend for ourselves"

She didn't think that being protected by Yukio was bad, it's just that she wanted to show him that they can be strong by themselves

And ... To be able to live up to being close to Yukio

Her words contained a simple message "We want to have our own strength, we want to solve our own problems and not bother you unnecessarily"

Yukio was somewhat surprised at first but smiled when he saw the determined face of Kunou

This little girl was her 'stepdaughter', her interaction with her was small, but in her childhood, this girl used to be very attached to him, Yukio could not help but feel happy to see her act so mature and want to help her own faction in that way, It was something quite unfathomable, the growth of the children was so peculiar and this proved the eternal affection that Kunou felt for his own family

Yukio: "Well ... I accept, but you have to follow my rules" He would train her, but only under his rules

Kunou: "Yaay!!" She got excited and jumped happily hearing his answer

She knew it, her mother told her that ... Rias Gremory was trained by Yukio and got to where she is today due to his training

Although Kunou felt that she was far behind, she knew that if she trained at least a little she could be considered someone of high rank

Both continued chatting during their animated walk, Kunou asked about many things and what kind of workouts she would receive in the future

Yukio patiently explained some methods, he wouldn't do any training beyond Kunou's ability

While thinking about it, he decided it was a good idea to bring Asia to train as well

In one room there were currently three people sitting

Each one was sitting in an armchair while in front there were cups of tea and some snacks

There were three women who stood out in beauty, one had a smile between their lips

She was Yasaka who was currently reading some reports, while also attending to her guests

Irina had been very curious when she was brought to this place with Xenovia but after a day of chatting she was able to relax

Yasaka turned out to be quite nice and she was a very calm person, she treated them with affection, and she told them that a certain 'person', would come to visit them soon

Irina felt confused, but decided to wait patiently, she felt something ... A hunch maybe

Xenovia: "What's wrong?" She stopped eating and looked at her friend

Irina: "Oh ... Nothing, you should eat slowly" She just smiled and waved her hand

Yasaka who saw Irina's reaction laughed a little before continuing to look at the reports

Irina sighed and closed her eyes, she subconsciously touched a necklace that hung from her beautiful neck, it was the necklace she had received from her first love years ago ... Yukio, she didn't know anything about him for many years

She wanted to see him, though ... She knew that maybe Yukio had forgotten about her a long time ago

After all, she had been forbidden to go out into the world until now, and the high Church officials took upon themselves to eliminate any trace of her from society

'I'm just a ghost ...' She told herself in pain

Maybe her beloved one had forgotten about her completely

*Tock Tock*

Suddenly the sound of footsteps made sounds from outside, Xenovia and Irina felt curious about it

But they noticed a smile on Yasaka's lips, suddenly the door opened and a girl entered.

They knew her name was Kunou Doragon, Yasaka's daughter

But...

A man had also come, his presence was like air and he felt like a simple human

Of course, anyone would think he was a human if it were not for the unsettling feeling that everyone could feel to be in his presence

'This guy is dangerous!' were the thoughts of Irina and Xenovia

But ... Something else happened, Irina felt that this was a bad joke, her eyes were glued to the man's face, she didn't look away and she knew it

Irina: "Yukio ..."
