Recovering (Family Outing) Part 9
As Yuki arrived back in their room, she found that there were three other people inside to which she suspected that it was both her Mothers and the last one either Mirel or Lian who went to visit them since she always visited them because that's the only one of the few things that she could do to make up her weakness when they were taken. So, when she opened the door, the people inside were the least she was expecting because it was Celeste who still had herself hidden away since she doesn't want anyone to know that she was there. But both her Mother and herself already know that she was there because she can somehow feel that there was something that connects both of them which is why she knew that she could see her, and knowing that Celeste didn't want to make herself known yet, she just acted as if she didn't see her.
She already knows why she is here, Celeste's only reason for coming down here is because of Aika, so even if she still doesn't trust her or even know her deeply, she won't be stupid and don't let her near her own child. Plus, it just might be Aika even more if she somehow got clues that her Fairy Mother was alive and she refused to let them meet, and meeting her now might even be good since it can ease the trauma that she might have built deep inside her.
"It's good that all of you here… I want to do something for all of you, I want us to have a little outing so that we can relax ourselves and even possibly heal the wounds we received from the previous War. I'm sure that everyone here must want a change of scenery, so that is why I planned for us to have a picnic in the Moon Rock Forest. The view there is quite beautiful, I'm sure that we will have a great time there, you can even call this a Family Outing because it's just going to be us, Family. What do you say, will all of you come with me?" Yuki was straightforward and directly asked everyone if they want to have a Family Outing, she deliberately called it an outing since they would be the only ones there, a whole Family. And when Yuki said this, she also looked at Celeste to let her know that she can come and that she has already planned to let her meet with Aika after such a long time to which she cried in happiness and out of reflex went forward and hugged Yuki.
Luckily, she was still concealed and other than Serene and Ayame who was taken aback but somehow managed to hide it even after seeing how the mysterious woman hugged Yuki. They didn't attack her the first time they saw her because she didn't have any bad intentions towards anyone and if ever did, she would have already attacked but she didn't which they concluded that she knows Yuki's wives or daughters, well at least one of them. They saw that she was only looking at Aika who was quietly laying in her bed sleeping and because she was wearing a mask that conceals her face, they didn't know that they were related.
"Let go of me first… I will let the two of you meet when we arrive at our destination, I promise you." Yuki whispered in a straight voice and even though she was being hugged by a beautiful woman who was technically her wife, she doesn't feel much, or at least it was not like when Fumiko or Kurokami hugged her when she felt peace and calmness. But being hugged by Celeste, she didn't feel any emotion at all, but what she doesn't know was that something was changing deep inside her because of Celeste's appearance.
"Oh, yes… I'm sorry, I let my emotions get ahead of me. But even so, I want to say thank you to you because you let me officially meet Aika, our daughter." Celeste answered and at the end of her sentence, she took off her Mask and lowered her head to kiss Yuki on the cheeks which showed some reaction. If the hug didn't do much to her, the kiss did as she was stunned and had to take a few steps back to look at Celeste who has a blushing face, but she didn't even have the chance to say anything as she already faded away.
"This woman…" Because Yuki was acting strange, the people inside couldn't help but question what was wrong with her since she suddenly backed away as if something just hit her. Which made all of them instantly worried, they thought that she was overexerting herself which was the last thing they want right now.
"Are you okay? You suddenly take a few steps backward while holding your face. Are you hurt by any chance?" Fumiko said in worry as she stood up and immediately went forward to Yuki to check her condition afraid that something is wrong with her.
"No, it's nothing. I just received news from Sunny that the place where we will have our meeting had some minor accidents. But don't worry, I will not let it affect our Trip." Yuki said with a smile as she casually hide her emotion and even acted irritated which made it even more believable to everyone, if Ayame and Serene didn't personally what happened, they might have just believed Yuki's acting and thought that an accident happen in the Moon Rock Forest.
"Oh, is that so? Then it's not a problem! I'm sure that everyone here can't wait to go to the Moon Rock Forest and have our picnic, plus I heard that Moon Rock Forest is your birthplace in the Immortal Realm. I want to see what kind of place you grew up even though you only stayed there for a few years." Fumiko answered with a sigh of relief knowing that Yuki is safe and that she wasn't feeling any pain. She then turns around and asked if everyone also wanted to go and it didn't even take them 5 seconds to say yes.
"I'm glad that all of you are coming with me, then shall we take our leave now?" Yuki flashed a smile as she casually threw a talisman in the air that acts as a life-saving treasure which it would teleport the user to wherever they desire, but it's only limited to the places that the user has already been to, meaning they wouldn't be able to teleport somewhere else other than the places they have already been. And within just a second, everyone in the room was teleported to the Moon Rock Forest, in the cave where Yuki and Yumie lived before they left to go to the City of Light.
"We are here… This is the place where me and Yumie previously lived. And if you are curious, yes me and Yumie both came from Moon Rock Forest. I found her when she was being bullied by some Lizards when I was relaxing on a nearby river." Yuki went on ahead and explained if they were ever curious.
