"They are treated abnormally… oh, you're right. I didn't even think of that, I'm actually hurting Aika instead of helping her." Amane said with a clear dejected tone as she looked over at Aika with clear guilt in her face, but she managed to hide it before her daughter could smile at her, and when they looked at each other, she just gave her a smile to which Aika returned.
"I'm sure you also didn't reveal that you are her Mother, so of course it is just a natural reaction to the kids when they see a mixed race. Especially those who are very arrogant and like to keep their bloodline pure, then again there is nothing wrong with that mindset where you want to keep your bloodline pure. But the thing that I hate is how your people see mixed race, so for the sake of Aika. Just don't let her play with anyone, let her be alone, I'm sure she can handle it." Yuki stops for a moment to look at her daughters before continuing.
"Yeah, I think that might be the best course of action. Let her be alone and open up to others, even if her friends consist of only the servants, it is better than nothing. One day, if she makes a name for herself in your world, everything will come naturally, by that you can announce that she is your daughter, and the rest is up to you." Yuki suggested this since she thought that this might be the best way.
If the other children and people can't accept her, she just needs to prove herself from that, and the choice would be up to her if she would be able to accept them even though in the past they couldn't do it themselves. But she had already considered Aika's personality and being as kind and gentle as she was like her Mother, she was sure that she would still be fine with all of it, even though she didn't really like that idea.
However it was fine since it was like hitting two birds with one stone as Aika would learn even more how to be independent of herself since she knows that she can't ask for help from the servants, and since she is lonely she would develop better. That was her aim from the start since she decided that they should separate.
Aika's loneliness makes her stronger not just physically but also mentally since she develops the mindset that since no one is around to help her, she will need to do everything herself. Yuki also knows that this kind of mindset is not something she desires to have, but she is gambling that it would be in a controlled state where Aika knows her limitations and would ask for help if she needs it.
"I will say it again, I don't like for any of my children to follow in my footsteps. Being alone and doing basically everything yourself and even if I have staff under me, it's still different. I like them to follow whatever their heart and mind want, so I want you to be there for her, you can do that, right?" Yuki simply asked as she puff out the last bit of smoke before freezing the cigarette butt and shattering it into a thousand pieces.
"Of course, but do you want me to enroll her in an Academy? I can just fabricate her identity so that she can go inside and that Academy is something you will actually like since it is the most famous and prestigious School in all of Celestial Star Heaven. As you know we live in the Celestial Star Heaven and everyone knows that I have already been resurrected, but I have hidden the fact that I have a child." Amane stops for a second to catch her breath before continuing.
"The reason that you will like it is that Family Background doesn't matter inside, only your power and mind matter. You can't even use your real name inside and instead every student inside uses an alias, so how about it? Should I enroll her there, I can let her easily." Amane asked Yuki if she wanted Aika to go into an Academy.
After hearing Amane's suggestion, Yuki begins to think about whether it is a good idea or not because in her mind it sounds too good to be true. If it was true, she wouldn't even think twice about enrolling Aika there since in that place she would be able to show off her full potential without anyone holding her back. But she felt that it was a bit sketchy, so she then asked Amane for the name of the Academy to conduct her own research on it.
At this moment, she was rather glad that she had already touched every Heaven because of her business catching the eyes of the Gods from the higher heaven which made her job easier. This was also the reason why she was able to make the gift that she gave to her Mother even though the materials came from the Celestial Star Heaven.
"Let me think about it for now… I'll give you my answer after 1 month. Also… how about your promise to me, did you manage to keep it?" Yuki's tone then became serious as she asked if Amane managed to keep her promise to her.
When Amane heard it, she was stunned for a few seconds before answering Yuki's question.
"Yes… Don't worry, I never let my parents near Aika. I even asked my servants to hide this fact and because my parents know that they can't force my servants for anything, they cannot do anything. However that doesn't mean that I can't stop Aika from seeing them, she has already seen them by the broadcast as when I came back, I was with my Mother and Father, so she saw us. But she still doesn't know that they are her grandparents, would that suffice?" Amane explained before asking her if that was fine to which Yuki just said yes.
"I see… then that is it. Since we already covered everything, I'll drop this call now, you can go back to whatever you were doing, and now I would like to" Before Yuki could finish her sentence, she was stopped by Amane who suddenly spoke.
"Can I ask a favor from you, before you go?" Amane spoke in a nervous tone and when Yuki heard it, she was confused because the loudmouth woman wasn't the type to be like that, but she still decided to hear what she wanted.
"Give me some money, it seems that all of my Gold has already been put to charity since I died. So right now, I'm broke. But don't worry, I only need 500 Billion Purple Gold, it's not too much, right?" Amane asked, but all of their nervousness was suddenly replaced with cheekiness which made Yuki's nerves bulge.
"Give you? I worked hard on my money and you think that I will just give you it just because you asked me, in your dreams." Yuki chuckled and before she could continue, Amane had already spoken before her.
"Come on, I'm raising our daughter all by myself. Do you think I can support both of us? I don't even have a job right now, just think of our poor daughter, she would be hungry."
When Yuki heard those exact words, she almost crushed her phone due to how thick Amane's skin was to even use Aika to win against her, she felt that she was even more shameless than her at that moment.
"You are fucking shameless. Who the fuck needs 500 Billion for basic necessities? If you are even going to start by saying that it is the debt that you owe to your servants, I already did the math. You only need to pay 20 Billion to them for cleaning and taking care of it and don't even start, I know the wage rate of servants who are working for people like you. Now, let's say that for the next 10 years, you will need approximately 500 Million, but let's just say that you want some luxury necessities, that will put you to probably around 100 Billion. So tell me then, where is the 380 Billion going to go?"
