"That's good, I don't have any plans to make you quit your act. Act whatever you want to, but just remember my words to you." Yuki nodded when she saw that Yumie understood her words as she felt her mood only getting better as she did this. She then looked towards Katsumi and Aika who both have their heads lowered not daring to look Yuki in the eye, they knew that they made a mistake, and knowing their Mother's personality, they were nervous about the punishment. Their Mother always spoiled them and has a high tolerance for them, but that doesn't mean that they grew to be spoiled, they know that this kind of thing wouldn't last forever, and they were taught to not take anything for granted. They didn't let the rich life get to their head and act arrogant to everyone and all of it came from Yuki and Anna's teaching.
But when they have truly made a mistake, Yuki wouldn't just let them get away with it and would actually punish them for it. Though it wasn't severe, it was hard for them. No kid would want to train twice as hard as they already usually train, because their punishment was to join Yuki's routine all day. They would join her in her training, sparring, and even in her paperwork which for them was even harder than the other two. Though they are intelligent, smart, and have a good eye for discerning people in business, they would still make a mistake 6/10 times, though in reality, it was already good, but Yuki just has high standards. And sorting out hundreds of paperwork, they feel like their brain would explode if they have to read more, and just remembering those hard times makes them shiver again. Yumie was the only one who can handle Yuki's business properly and she even seems to have fun doing it, she was always calm, and because of this, they can't understand it, what was the fun of sorting papers, signing, etc?
"Why are you two so worked up? Are you afraid that you might dive into a whole bunch of work? I remember that all of the papers have already reached thousands because I wasn't there to work on it, Asuka can't handle it herself, I wonder if you two would be willing to help her?" Yuki asked with a smile on her face as she couldn't help to tease the two little girls in front of her. In reality, Asuka wasn't having any hard time taking care of all of the paperwork, especially now that Aira was helping her, with her experience working with Yuki for a few years already, their job was faster and smoother than before. There was also Asakura Sasaki who became her subordinate. And with those three who are very proficient in handling business, it was very smooth for them.
Yuki was merely teasing them when she said this, but she didn't think that they would actually believe her after hearing their answer.
"Mommy… If that is what Mommy wants us to do as punishment, then we will listen to her." Aika said while trembling out of fright, the thought of her handling hundreds of those works made her fearful. Just thinking about it makes her tremble and it was the same with Katsumi, she was quite nervous and scared for her life, she was afraid that she might really die because of this.
"Stop teasing them, Yuki~ Look at the two of them, they are scared because of what you said. Aika, Katsumi… don't listen to your Mother's words, she was just lying as you can see. She didn't really mean for you two to work on all of those paperwork, she was merely teasing you, so don't take it to heart." Fumiko let out a soft giggle as she directly slapped Yuki's arm for teasing her daughters, seeing how the kids reacted to their soon punishment did make her laugh but at the same time guilty. Because she was also like that, she had tons of work when she was the president of Japan.
"Hahaha… My bad, I didn't think that they would actually believe in my words." Yuki chuckled as she said sorry to her daughters, but when she saw the look of Anna and Fumiko who has the look that somehow made Yuki annoyed in her heart. They were looking at her with the look as if they were saying really?
"You don't believe me? Well, I'm sorry for tricking you two. Those kinds of paper are special and I won't let you handle those, at least not yet. Those are very important and need to be kept secret, plus they are even harder to understand than normal. Even your big sister hasn't seen one of those papers, that's why Asuka, Aira, and Asakura are the ones handling them. So, don't worry, I'm not going to make you work on those, plus I'm not going to scold you anyways, Yumie already did it." Yuki patted their head slowly as she apologized again after seeing the look of her two wives.
"Really? Mother is not lying to us, right?" Katsumi raised her little head as she asked hesitantly, but she can't hide the excitement in her eyes and body as her Dragon Tail behind her was already moving left and right after hearing what her Mother just said. It was a simple nightmare for her working on those, especially now that she knows that those are harder than the ones they are used to doing.
"Yes, Mother is not lying to you two." Yuki smiled as she assured them both once again and just as she was about to announce their departure to Nightingale, she heard Yumie say something.
"Mom, I heard you saying that this little bird still doesn't have a name. Can we name it then?" Yumie asked a question that made the other two sigh in shock as both of them then walked towards Yumie to take a closer look at the little bird, but this time they were careful so that it wouldn't be scared of them since it was the last thing they want to happen. This time around, they are much more gentle, they even provided space for the bird so that it knows that it was safe when he is around them.
"Well, yeah. It really doesn't have a name right now, when he was born I was outside and didn't really have time to think about it. And to answer your question, yes you can name it. But remember, even I don't know its gender since I didn't really look at it." Yuki answered the matter of leaving can be talked about later. She was not in a rush anyway, plus she still have like 4 years to get that inheritance which should be more than enough already.
"What? You don't know its gender? How is that possible, shouldn't you know it already as soon as it is born?" Anna asked in confusion as she looked straight at the bird who was perfectly nestled in Aika's arms.
"Is there a problem? I don't even know how to differentiate a male bird from a female one, how do you expect me to do the same to a Vampire Phoenix?" Yuki looked at Anna with confusion as she blurted out what kind of species the creature that Aika was holding. And hearing it, her hands suddenly felt like it was heavy, she didn't realize that what she was holding was a phoenix, one of the most majestic and legendary Beast that can contest with a Dragon.
"A Vampire Phoenix? How is that possible?" Anna asked as she was surprised since this was the first time she was hearing this. Being the Princess of the Vampire Race, she of course knows the in and outs of the Kindom, but there was not once any news that a Vampire and Phoenix having a baby.
"Well… this little guy is quite special actually, At first, this thing is a pure-blooded Vampire, but when it came into contact with my Phoenix Tear and poof. This guy came out. It suddenly became a Vampire Phoenix, I'm sure you can already tell that this thing has half Vampire blood running in its veins." Yuki explained she didn't say the full story since it was not time yet to reveal the existence of her System.
