"Actually… I do have one question that I hope Master can clarify… Am I able to tell others about her existence, or am I the only one who can know that she exists… I remember telling you that some people know who you are and your existence… But please don't worry, the people who know you are one of my closest friends, they won't tell anyone about your identity." Mio asked attentively to see if her Master was going to get offended by what she had asked, she just asked to make sure even though there wasn't a rule for her that she shouldn't tell anyone about Yuki's existence.
"It's fine… as long as those people you say can be trusted. I know what you are currently doing right now, you became a teacher at your own Academy out of boredom, but remember this… if anything happens to her, you know what is going to happen." Yuki gave her a slight warning, but still let her do what she wanted as long as it wasn't going to complicate things about her taking care of her daughter.
When Mio heard her Master's words, a sudden chill ran down her spine as she completely understood her words. It was not just her who was going to get punished, it was the whole Mortal Realm that was going to be in danger if something were to happen to Somi, they could only pray that Yuki would still give them mercy.
"Yes… I understand Master, but I trust them, and if my judgment were to be wrong, then you can punish me instead since I was the one who made a mistake by trusting them." Mio said seriously as she looked up for a few seconds to gaze at Yuki before bowing her head again.
"It's good that you understand. Also, let me give you some more details when you are going to take care of her. Never let her take off her blindfold because it's specially made by me, only this blindfold can suppress her powers so that there wouldn't be any accidents. Also… the room that you are going to set up for her shouldn't have any pictures of anyone or even animals because once she sets her eyes on those too, the same thing will happen. They will die. That is how powerful it is." Yuki said as she gave her more information that she should look up to.
For example, Yuki instructed her to always inform her if she is going inside her room so that she can have her blindfold on as Yuki said that she can let her take off her blindfold if it was getting irritating for her daughter. Finally, for the most important thing, if she was going to let her go outside, she should never let her get out of her sight.
"Yes… I understand Master, please don't worry. I will do everything that I can to take care of her, I will also help her gain some friends if possible so that she can be more happy." Mio said as she smiled towards her Master which she also smiled back towards her.
"Alright… then I'll expect a lot from you. I hope that my daughter can have a lot of fun while she stays with you."
"Now off you go… Somi, I know that it will be hard that we are not beside you, but remember that we are always watching by your side, we are always here when you need us. While we are separate, know that you can always call Mio here, she is someone who you can rely on, she can also be your friend you know?" Yuki said as she gently placed her forehead onto her daughter's head.
But she didn't get a response from her daughter, she just got a slight nod of approval which was already enough for her. She knows that her daughter has already built a trauma of being next to people she doesn't know because of what happened. But she wants her to know that even with her condition, she can still make a lot of friends.
"Master is right, young lady. I can be your friend, you can even call me by my name, Mio." Mio said as she then boldly approached Somi and just as she was about to touch her head, she stopped and opened her mouth to say something.
"Can… would you mind if I pat your head?" Mio asked just to be sure, as she knows that she would hate it if someone were just to touch her without her consent, she might even have killed that person if they were to touch her without any warning. That is the main reason why he asked her for permission as it was just rude for her to just suddenly touch her head, especially if she actually dislikes it.
But instead of answering her, Somi just shook her head, clearly rejecting the idea of Mio patting her head to which she didn't get mad. She just accepted it with a smile, even though she didn't know what kind of childhood Somi had, she could at least try to understand her. Being alone for most of your life is something very hard even for someone like her, it was going to be hard, she even thinks that she is going to go insane just by thinking about it. But when she was about to walk away slightly, she heard a meek little voice coming out of her.
"I'm sorry…"
"Oh no, don't be sorry. It's fine, it's not your fault that it happened, and I'm sure you wouldn't want something like that to happen." Mio smiled as she tried to lift Somi's mood.
"Mother? Can I ask a favor from you before we part?" Somi asked as she quietly looked up from her Mother's eyes to look at her straight in the eyes, just as Yuki explained a few minutes before. Somi can still see perfectly even with her blindfold on, it that she was limited to a normal human without any powers.
"Of course, anything for you." Yuki smiled as she simply would do anything just for her daughter to make her happy.
"Can I wear my old blindfold?" Somi asked with a little difficulty as she knew that she was making a tricky request for Yuki.
Yuki was shocked by this because she had actually replaced her blindfold with a new one which was the one she was wearing now, but her old one was different. If she wore that, it would completely wipe her vision, making her completely blind, but she looked at her for a few seconds just to see if she was serious or not, and when she saw that she was completely serious. She sighed before giving Somi her old blindfolds.
"Mio, she wants to change her blindfold, and with this blindfold, she will be now completely blind, so I hope you take care of her better," Yuki asked once more since something had changed now that her daughter wanted to use her old blindfold.
"It's not a problem Master, nothing will change, I will still take care of her," Mio responded.
"Alright, now Somi off you go. I'll give Mio your new blindfold in case you want to switch back to your new ones. I love you, always take care of yourself okay?" Yuki said as she gently placed Somi back on the ground before having her final hug and kiss on the forehead. She then watches how Somi trots over with a little difficulty toward where she feels Mio is.
"Yeah, goodbye Mom. I love you too…" Somi replied with a smile as she turned her back.
