Naora chopped up tomatoes and Himeko helped by making eggs. They were making eggs sandwiches for lunch. The sounds of the cicadas, the ocean, and the wind chimes radiated throughout the kitchen along with the sounds of sizzling and the knife hitting against the cutting board as Naora cut the tomatoes.
"Everything has been calm since Apeiron's been defeated. Been about...maybe..two weeks since that's happened?" Himeko said.
"Yeah just about. Everything has been calm as of late and I really appreciate it. Feels like everyone can be calm and have fun now." Naora smiled and finished cutting the tomatoes. "Lunch is almost ready. Ochiyo, mind getting everyone to come downstairs?"
"Sure." Ochiyo said then stood up from the stool she was sitting on then walked out the kitchen and went towards the stairs.
"It's so hot.." Mae whined and leaned against me.
"You won't be cooling off that way." I said.
"How are you not hot? I mean you are hot but still." Mae asked and looked at me.
"I've lived in the country for most of my life so I'm used to the sun." I said then watched her take my arm and wrap it around her shoulder.
"Hey hands off!" Rimuri said then made me unwrap my arm from her shoulder.
"He's my boyfriend so he should be allowed to wrap his arm around me." Mae said then made me wrap my arm around her shoulder.
"That's not fair..! Yoshida told me he loved me first! Technically he's dating me!" Rimuri stomped her foot down.
"Spell dating." Mae said.
"D A T I N G. Dating now stop being an asshole and let me cuddle my boyfriend!" Rimuri said.
"Everyone! Lunch is ready!" Ochiyo said as she opened the door.
We all looked at her and we nodded in response.
...
"I was thinking about having Yoshida help me at the St. Hoya Academy for a bit. He does need a new battle suit and I can teach him to make his own." Himeko said.
"What do you think, Yoshida?" Naora asked.
"Mmm...I see nothing wrong with it, but I already have plans for the day. I did promise Tsuki and Exousia earlier today that I'd take them out today." I said.
"I made her this new jacket that is made from Cosmic Dark energy and it blocks the sun so well plus it makes her a bit stronger." Orimi smiled and finished her sandwich.
"How nice of you." Ochiyo smiled.
"Ehehe..~" Orimi blushed and giggled.
I finished my sandwich then stood up. "Thank you for the delicious lunch. We should be heading out now."
"Just leave your plate in the sink, I'll handle them." Naora said.
I nodded and took Tsuki's and Exousia's empty plates then walked to place our plates in the sink. I walked to the door, and Tsuki and Exousia got up to follow me. We left the house and made our way along a path that led to the city of Yahoma.
"So, do you two have inverses or alternates of yourself?" I asked.
"We are alternates of each other. We are a special case since we both have the same mother and father. We are commonly called the Duality Sisters." Exousia said.
"Mhm, we may not be exact twins since I was born a day after she was, but we were born just like our powers suggest. She was born in the day time and I was born at night. Sun and Moon." Tsuki said.
"I see. What about that Twilight Beast you spoke of two weeks ago?" I asked as I moved out of the way for a woman and her child.
Exousia looked at the sky and her tiny angel wings fluttered a bit. She crossed her arms then closed her eyes. Tsuki's demon tail swayed a bit.
"Hm?" I looked at the both of them.
"She's not a real beast, but she does possess the Twili Energy. She is called a beast because of her insane power. She is so strong that she broke the scale in the strength category. Not only that but she's sealed within us. Me and Tsuki are the only ones who can summon her, but the only way we can summon her is if we combine our Dark World and White World in equal terms." Exousia said.
"Combining our worlds will create the Twilight World where she is trapped. But it can only be summoned if our worlds are equal in strength and maintain that way for the duration of our visit." Tsuki said.
"I'd like to meet this Twilight Beast." I said.
"Ha. Good one, but you really don't want to meet her. She's not a good person." Exousia said.
"Neither were you." I said.
Exousia stopped walking and turned around to look at me. She pointed at me. "Yes but I turned around because you kissed me. She isn't as easily tamable and breedable as I am."
"B-Breedable?! God...where did you get that one from?" I asked then rubbed the back of my head, blushing.
"A-Ahh anyway! She's not exactly a calm person, but if you were to fight her I'm sure you would win." Exousia said.
"News flash, most of my wins were luck. It was even luck when I beat my mother. I wouldn't count those as skillful wins, but whatever. Let's just hope we don't have to fight her because I will 100% lose." I said.
"Eh? Why do you say that?" Tsuki asked.
"If the Twili Energy works the way I think it does, then I would lose because she can either nullify my power or smite me in an instant." I said.
"But you survived being smited. You survived a White World boosted Heavenly Judgement. No normal monster would do that, no normal hybrid would do that." Exousia said.
"Well things will be different in the Twilight World, but there holds one issue that Tsuki stated. We can't make the Twilight World because neither one of us are equal in power. I'm stronger than you. You're stronger than Tsuki even with her boosted Cosmic Dark Cloak. I can't make it because I don't know how to create a Dark or White World." I said.
"You could always boost my power using your Nega Energy." Tsuki said.
"That is true." I nodded.
"Before we get on with making the Twilight World, you must know these things first. In the Twilight World, time doesn't exist. She made it to where humans can't see her, but since you have Esoteric Time Manipulation you would be able to see her. She is a Nephalem, mainly because of our White World and Dark World. She gained control of both our angelic and demonic abilities. Long story short, before I joined the angels to become stronger...We accidentally created her when we first used our powers. Now she's stronger than us because...she's a Hybrid basically. She's so strong that even Bachiko fears her. Apeiron doesn't know about her though." Exousia warned me, looking at me with a serious expression.
"I'll keep all of that in mind." I nodded.
They got into position to create their respective worlds at the same time. The darkness and the light began to fill the area and the sky. The two worlds collided, but the White World began to slightly overpower the Dark World.
"I need a bit more power..!" Tsuki grunted.
I placed my hand on Tsuki's shoulder, boosting her power with my aura. Her Dark World began to fight back and become equal to Exousia's. The two worlds fused together then the sky became purple and time had stopped completely. The Sun and Moon fused together and turned black.
I looked around then noticed something fly past me. I looked around then was tackled and pinned against a tree.
"Yoshida!" Tsuki ran towards me followed by Exousia.
I looked at the woman as she pinned me against the tree. Her hair was purple and her left eye was a deep red and her right eye was a light blue. She had one angel wing on her left side and a demon wing on her right side. She wore a black and white dress with a white stocking on her right side and a black one on her left. She had a demon tail and a halo over her head.
"You can see me, human?" The woman asked.
"I do see you, only because I'm half monster." I said.
"Eh?" Her expression lit up. "You're a hybrid as well?"
She let me go and squealed happily. "I thought I was the only hybrid! I never met another hybrid before!"
"Eh..?" Tsuki and Exousia said confused with a dumbfounded expression.
I looked at the woman then scratched the side of my head. "Ahh...My name is Yoshida Asato."
"Asato? Oh! You're the son of Apeiron! I've heard a lot about you and how you're capable of being the Ultimate Being! My name is...hm...I don't have a name. I'm just known as the Twilight Beast."
"I could give you a name." I said.
"You would?!" She asked.
I nodded then thought about a name for her.
"I can't believe this is happening." Exousia said and crossed her arms. "Who would have thought she was this easy to tame."
"I mean...as long as she isn't going on a rampage.." Tsuki said and watched.
"Mmm...Bellatrix..? That's the best I could think of right now." I said.
"Bellatrix? That sounds really nice! Then my name should be Bellatrix!" She smiled and giggled. "Oh, do you have any good food on you? I'm tired of just eating grass and bark."
I looked at Exousia and Tsuki.
"Oh no! We are not releasing her from this world!" Exousia said.
"I'm with Exousia on this one. She's way too dangerous and a liability to be set loose. We can't risk it." Tsuki said.
"Come on, you see how calm she is right now with me." I said. "If you do it, I'll treat you all to some ice cream."
"Mmmm..." Exousia grumbled. "Fine!"
They both destroyed the Twilight World by making their aura vanish. Bellatrix noticed the world go back to normal and covered her eyes from the sun. She smiled happily seeing the Earth for the first time.
"So this is Earth? It's so beautiful! Where do we start? I wanna try so many different foods! I wanna see and do many things! Let's go, Yoshida!" Bellatrix took my arm and ran ahead.
"Eh?! Wait for us you...you witch!" Exousia ran after us.
"Don't leave me behind!" Tsuki ran after us as well.
