On the Lemore Academy school grounds, Shito and Tenka stood on the school grounds looking at the door that was in front of them. The door was the door of the school chairperson, Sara Mahinu the sister of Shito.
There was a girl that was sitting on Shito's shoulder, and it was his daughter, Illya Mahinu. She was waiting to meet the sister of her father. Illya was a little worried about meeting her because she thought she might hate her.
Walking into the chairman's office, Shito and Tenka walked inside the room and looked at the chairperson who was sitting in her chair doing paperwork.
"...I have come to meet with you sister."
The chairperson, Sara Mahinu did not even look up from her desk. The only thing that was really seen was the long brown hair that she had. Even though the two of them were siblings, Sara's hair color was darker than Shito's by a couple of shades.
"You dare to come here and ask something of me. When you hung the phone up on me." Sara said, writing down something on the paper she was looking at. "Especially when you were the one who called me."
Tenka looked over at Shito in shock, she did not even know that he called his sister let alone know that he hung up on her. Most people would be lucky enough to ever meet her in their lives.
But that was only because they were siblings that he did stuff like that. He might love his sister very much but talking to her all the time would get annoying since sometimes she gets annoyed when she starts acting like his mother and getting protective over him.
Their bond is deeper than one could imagine, and they care for each other. Since they did not have parents, they were alone together, protecting each other and surviving the cruel world.
"I know that you are mad about that but please get over it and… meet your niece," Shito said, taking Illya off his shoulders. "Come and meet her and welcome her into the family."
Sara suddenly froze in her tracks after hearing what her brother just said, there was no way that he would not tell her about a child that he had, they were too close for that. She was too scared to look up thinking her brother was joking with her but… after a while, she started to remember that her brother was not one to joke around.
Hesitantly looking up, Sara looked at the girl that was being held in her brother's hand and the first thing she noticed was the hair color she had.
The light sandy-blond colored hair he had was in a shade that was only unique to him, but that standard was shattering with the little girl that was standing before her.
She was happy deep down, knowing that she and her brother could add a new member to the family they had.
"...."
There were no words that could be said, the moment was a joyous one for her. The girl could be her family member, the daughter of her brother.
Sara looked at her brother and smiled. "What is the little girl's name?" she asked, looking at her brother that was standing in front of her.
Looking at his daughter, Shito leaned closer to her ear and started to whisper something in her ear.
"Tell her your name."
Those were the words that he whispered to her. There was no reason for him to tell her when Illya could do it herself. The woman was now her aunt, so it would only be right if she introduced herself to her aunt.
The girl looked at Sara and she smiled brightly; the smile was so bright it was like the sun was floating in front of her.
"My name is Illya… Illya Mahinu."
Sara got up out of her seat and started walking towards her brother. Sara looked at Illya and grabbed the girl out of his hands.
"Awwwww! Aren't you a cutie!"
"Mama says the same thing! You know Auntie you really act like my Mama…! I hope the two of you get along!"
Sara looked over at the girl who was standing beside Shito, not knowing who she was because of how much her appearance had changed.
The members of the Mahinu family were not dumb, so she instantly figured out that the girl was the mother of her niece, but she could not tell that the girl was Tenka Vermillion.
Sara tilted her head. "...Who are you exactly!?" she asked.
Tenka looked at Sara and smiled, bowing elegantly. "I am Tenka. Tenka Vermillion. The princess of the vermillion family and the mother to Illya Mahinu." She looked at the strongest mage in the world and there was no fear in her eyes. She had met her once before and there was no reason to fear her.
Sara looked at the Vermillion princess trying to figure out why she changed so much.
A split second later, Sara noticed that Tenka was radiating an unknown power, the power that only magic knights would have once they awaken the ability to use both ki and mana simultaneously.
"Ohhhh! I see! You unlocked the power to use both ki and mana simultaneously without dying… So that means you grasped the concept of the unknown power."
"What are you talking about!? I have not learned anything about this unknown power!"
"My brother hadn't told you about the details of the unknown power?" she asked looking over at Tenka. "He should have at least told you about some of the stuff about the unknown power."
"Well, let us start with the fact that anyone who achieves the unknown power is completely above fate, and the abilities they use do not have any cause or effect. The abilities that they have depending on the user are able to transcend space-time completely. While some may think that the abilities of a magic knight are no different from the combination of a mage and a knight... But that was completely wrong."
Saying those words, Sara looked back at her brother, remembering that he had come there to talk to her about something.
"I want to talk to you about allowing me to take my daughter to school with me." Shito instantly said, knowing exactly what his sister was thinking. "So, if you are willing to let me take her… I would gladly appreciate it."
Sara looked at her brother and noticed that he was completely serious, and she nodded her head. There was no reason she could not do what her brother asked her since it was not like anyone would care if he did it anyway.
"You two can go to class now, and little bro you are going to have to stay behind.
"Ok, sister."
Illya looked at her mother and walked toward her, grabbing her hand. "Ok, I will see you later Aunty," she said, walking out of the room, holding her mother's hand.
Sara smiled looking at her niece and walked out of the room.
After they were completely gone, she looked at her brother and smiled, walking back to the chair she sat in while she did her paperwork. Sara sat down with her legs perched on the seat and her arms crossed.
"How was that girl born exactly, one month is not going to be enough time to have a child… but I can tell from the hair and eye color that the two of you are really the child's parents, so what have you been doing out here."
"Firstly, the girl used to be an assassin, and I adopted her and changed her whole bloodline making her the child of me and Tenka and then we destroyed the assassin guild," Shito said, with no hesitation in his voice. The way that all the words came out of his mouth made it look like he did not care if the entire world found out about him being a part of the assassin guild's destruction.
"You know you cannot just go around destroying guilds. You are going to attract the attention of the government."
"Don't worry about it because if the government ever decides to get in my way, then they will die, and you of all people know that when I kill people that try to harm me or my family, they will not only die but their entire family tree is going to die with them."
Sara sighed, knowing everything that just came out of her brother's mouth was the truth. He would slaughter families if he felt that they were a threat to his loved ones and now that he has a daughter, she could only imagine how serious he was about knocking off an entire family.
"You dead ass serious right now, aren't you?"
"I am not the type of person to joke about this and you should know that. If a person were to do any harm to you, Tenka, and Illya then I would kill them. It is as simple as that."
"Just make sure to stay safe out there… you are the only family I have left so I don't want you dying."
"I got a daughter, so I am not the only family you have anymore.
Sara sighed, looking at her brother and smiling. "Let me clarify it. You are the only brother I have in this world, and I do not want you dying and leaving me here to take care of your child. While I might love your daughter as my niece, we both grew up without parents, so it would be best if you were alive to provide a stable house for her." she said looking back at the paperwork on her desk.
Walking toward the door, Shito turned around, looking at his sister. Sara was too busy to notice that her brother was looking at her.
"I am off… make sure to come to see us sometime and spend some quality time with your niece. That is something she might really like.
Shito walked out the door, heading to his homeroom class, his daughter was there, and he did not want to miss out on spending time with his daughter. Even though they were at school, he was going to spend time with his daughter.
