All Yuki supporters were proud of her, Hisamoto side people were in awe when they saw the pills. They were glowing with small radiance but sadly not as much as Kanesuke's pills.
Yuki's supporters were proud because she tried her best even when she was exhausted, Hisamoto people were in awe to see such a little girl could make 50% quality pills in just one try. Beginners would fail a few times before they could make pills even after they know how to do it.
Soon everything that belonged to Hoshi and Kanakuba families was taken by the town lord, Kanesuke and Hisamoto. They checked every one to see if they took anything, except for the clothes and marriage rings of couples, everything was taken from them.
All the elders were taken by Fuminori under the name of Kanakuba family, he was discontent as he didn't get any wealth, he only got all the family elders of the Hoshi and Kanakuba families except for Gakuto, his 2 brothers, Akihiko and his brother.
Their family members' faces were in depression, contrary to that, Gakuto and Akihiko were in hope as they had a genius who opened 2 petals at 14 years old and also made 60% quality pills. They could rise again with her help.
That was the time when most people were in a deep respect for Yuki. Kanesuke was busy savoring Megumi, Hisamoto was busy counting how much wealth he got. Fumihiro was busy guarding Kanesuke's house so that when he comes out, he could ask whether he would forgive his daughter's insolence of supporting Yuki.
So Gakuto and others decided to leave the town as soon as possible before they change minds.
Gakuto was carrying Yuki on his back as she was unconscious due to excess use of spirit power.
Just 3 houses to leave the town, the families about to get relax as they were able to escape alive but suddenly Naoki Nakamura and 6 middle-aged men came from hiding.
They had been waiting there so that no one would witness the murder, Naoki was still in fear of Yuki's imaginary master, so he made sure to evacuate people.
The 2 families stopped in alert by looking at them. Akihiko glared into Naoki's eyes and asked, "What do you want?"
"Did you forget what she did to my son?" Naoki reminded him by pointing his sword at Yuki.
Akihiko was not in the mood to argue, besides, Yuki was very important to them now, "if we start a fight, I and my brother will first kill you even at the cost of our lives. We have nothing to lose anyway. Do you really want to risk your life?" He warned.
It hit Naoki in head, he knew he would just do it. "Akihiko, you still want to support that little bitch after all she has done to you? Leave her here and I won't harm your family."
"She is our family's hope now, as Hoshi family head, I will protect our hope with my life," Akihiko argued with determination.
"Stubborn fool," Naoki shouted in irritation, he decided to attack them. They got one extra elder on their side, so they would definitely win.
Then the elder next to him changed his mind, he came to his ear and whispered, "Family head, now they are in depression, so they will easily throw away their lives and it will bring us loss. He might kill you with all his ability as he said, it's better to kidnap her when she was alone. At that time even if they want to harm us they can't do anything."
Naoki had the fear but his pride was stopping him from leaving them but now he got an excuse, hecalmed himself and said, "Retreat." Everyone went away. After Fuminori explained that Yuki's master was just a bluff, Naoki believed it so he tried this little stunt and failed because he still couldn't take the possibility out completely.
Akihiko got confused. Gakuto saw Akihiko and said, "forget about them brother Akihiko, let's first find a place to hide before they change their minds."
There were 21 of them with 5 couples and their children. Except for Akihiko, his wife, Gakuto, his wife, Mira and Yuno- Yuki's little brother. The remaining members were dissatisfied with Yuki.

"It's my fault," Haruka blamed in panic, "how could I have been that stupid to scold him for low marks in the exam? I am a terrible mother."
"Blaming yourself is not the solution," Akito tried to comfort his wife while taking the keys that were hanging to a hook, "let's go and search for him, it's already night, he must be hungry."
They both went out, Akito took a cycle and Haruka ran as she was fit. They both were searching and asking people on the road that they believe their child knew, "Sir, did you see a 7 years old boy?" Akito asked a man walking with an office bag.
"No sir," he replied and walked away.
Haruka searched the usual places she would take her child to, "Aki, where are you?" she shouted at the entrance of a small park. There was no response so she continued her search. Even after 10 minutes, she didn't find him. She finished searching all the usual places.
When she was about to give up and give a police complaint she noticed the mountain which was covered with trees. It was situated at the edge of the town.
She took her child hiking every weekend into forests and mountains, so she thought her child might be there.
She searched around in the mountain forest while going to the top, while she was near the top she heard some unnatural sounds, she stopped breathing to listen to what it was.
It was a crying of a boy, she recognized the voice and ran there in fear of animals. As she reached there, she noticed Akira crying on the tree as he couldn't get down from the tree.
She was frozen stiff totally dumb folded and got relaxed while relaxing her breathing, Akira saw her and got entreated, "mom, save me."
She guffawed for the actual reason why he didn't come home as she thought he was angry with her before. Akira's face became red and turned away his head.
She went near the tree and raised her arms by looking at him, "jump," she said with the warmest smile a woman could give in her life.
Without hesitation Akira jumped from the branch as if they did it many times, she caught him in a hug and hugged him tightly, "silly man, you know you can't climb down the tree right? It seems my adventurous spirit corrupted your spirit too, hmhmhm." The trust between this mother and child was simply great.
*growl* Akira's stomach roared, both of them looked at his stomach. Akira's cheeks became red.
"Your tummy is roaring for not eating in time," Haruka said by bending down, she signaled him to get on to piggyback, he hugged her from the back, she caught his thighs and lifted him up, "there you go, up into the sky," she lifted him up joyfully, Akira also felt joy in riding her.
While going down the mountain, Haruka said, "Mother is a bad girl isn't she Kira? She easily got corrupted by society's schemes," she changed her persona.
"Yes," he agreed.
"Oww! That hurts," she acted as if her heart ached, "you should say no in this kind of situation, Ruka is your best friend right?" She used Kira to refer to Akira and Ruka to refer to herself who was Kira's best friend in their fantasy.
"Then why did she scold me? She has never been angry at Kira," argued Akira.
"It's hard for her too, she always needs to fight against the evil schemes of society, Kira should understand her right?" He didn't respond, she asked, "how long can she hold either? She is already felt very badly about that, she even asked for forgiveness. Just forgive her; we shouldn't owe anything to people."
Akira felt reluctant but he forced himself, "ok but this is the last time."
"Ho yeah! Mission accomplished," shouted Haruka in joy, "Here's some advice for Akira, never allow someone to tell you what the best experience is for you. Today's society is getting manipulated by rich people by saying that only raiding a car or bike is a life. Having a big house and lots of money is the only way one can be happy.
No! None of them will give you true happiness; find your own way of happiness. You shouldn't change your target of happiness just to become the first customer then a victim of rich people. So tell me, is doing yoga gives you happiness?"
"Yes," answered Akira in a cheerful way.
"Is playing games on mobile giving you happiness?"
"No, no," replied Akira strictly.
"Will kissing Ruka and Haruka gives you happiness?"
He turned her face and kissed her on the cheek, with a big smile he said, "Lot, a lot."

Yuki slowly got her consciousness back and she woke up on Gakuto's back, 'I forgot about that but it got engraved in my heart but that heart stopped a few days ago, thank you system for engraving it in this little heart.'
'I didn't do it,' the system denied, 'it just slipped out of the system.'
'Yeah right!' Yuki sarcastically remarked in a good mood.
When she was happily remembering a good memory with her mother she heard, "I should have been drinking tea in the garden at this time," Chisato poked her words while they were walking in the woods, "this waste brought us to the road. I told you many times to put your own business," to her husband who was Gakuto's 1st younger brother Katsunari.
"Stop speaking," Katsunari nervously whispered to Chisato as Gakuto was already in a bad mood.
That gave chuckle to Yuki inside, 'hmhm, exactly how mother describes a victim of society.'
"Why are you stopping her brother-in-law? What she said is right," Fuyumi-wife of Gakuto's 2nd younger brother Katsuo supported Chisato.
"Now we don't even have money to feed our children," cried Chisato, "I am worried about their future, how they are going to live?"
Yuki thought, 'that is exactly why kids in the modern world got destroyed, showing useless love. Parents should show the world to kids and leave them in the world once they grow up. Your children are above 18 and this is a non-corrupted world where the whole world is not under the control of people yet, there are many possibilities here, let them grow freely.'
