In front of the Ferris Wheel, Shito and Tenka stood holding their daughters in their arms. They were staring at the two girls that were standing in front of him, the two girls being Lilith and Lucia, the two girls that go to their school, and the two girls that were babysitting their daughters for them while they enjoyed their date together.
"I also want to thank you two for taking care of my children. Even though you didn't have to go out of your way to do it… you still did it and I appreciate that."
"..."
After hearing that, Tenka and his daughters were at a loss for words.
After a couple of seconds of processing his words, Tenka and his daughters looked up at Shito, they didn't expect him to thank anyone. Back at school when he was talking to his sister, no one heard him thank her because of how quiet he was talking. The truth was that he never really thanked anyone.
Lucia looked at Shito and happily smiled. "No problem! We are happy enough to watch the nieces of the strongest mage in the world… so please don't worry about it!"
"I agree with her, we are happy to be able to watch your daughters. In the short amount of time, we have been with your daughters we had a lot of fun. So, it was no hassle for us to do so." Lilith had built a bond with the two little girls, and she actually had fun watching them.
Looking in the air, Shito noticed that the sky was getting darker. That was a signal that it was getting late at night.
Shito looked at his rest and a small mana screen appeared on his wrist. The mana screen was shaped like a watch. It showed the exact time it was, but it was in digital form. The clock showed '7:00 pm'.
"It's time for everyone to start heading home. After all, we have school tomorrow and we are going to have to continue the duels for tomorrow."
"Uhhhh, I almost forgot about that. I want there to be more strong people in the duels, I hate always winning… but I don't think there is anyone stronger than me in the tournam—"
In an instant, Lucia closed her mouth and looked up at Shito, she remembered that he was the brother of the strongest mage in the world, so she thought he was bound to be strong. The students from the TAA class didn't watch the first battle since they were not required to, so they didn't see him use any kind of spell and everyone in the school didn't know he was the brother of the strongest mage.
Yeeaaaah! He is the brother of the strongest mage—so he should be strong enough for me to face. If I were to fight, we could cause a lot of destruction but nonetheless, I want to fight him badly because he… might be the only person that could beat me in this tournament. I don't know about the girl beside him but that's not who I want to fight.
With those thoughts, Lucia looked up at Shito and smiled. She was profoundly thinking about having a fight with the brother of the strongest mage, knowing full well that he could possibly be stronger than her but at that moment it didn't really matter to her.
Sticking her hand out, Lucia calmly looked into his eyes. There were no signs of wavering in her body language, she stood confidently.
"You have to make it to the finals… I'm going to be waiting to fight with you because you seem like a strong person and before you ask. Yes, I'm basing this off the possibility of you being the brother of the strongest mage, after all, she might have trained you before."
Shito looked at the hand that was in front of him and gently grabbed it. "Ok… I guess we can have a fight in the near future but until then make sure you survive in this tournament because we are going to fight each other in the finals."
As those words came out of his mouth, the wind started to blow heavily. The two stood in front of each other with their hair blowing in the wind.
Tenka and Lilith smiled, noticing that a rivalry was forming between them. Even though Shito was stronger than her, he started to like the feeling of having someone to look forward to fighting with. Nothing like strength mattered at that moment because he was going to hold back even if they fought and having a friendly rivalry with someone his age was going to be good for him to have.
"Come on, Shito. It's time for us to take our children home. I like that you two have a friendly rivalry going on, but we must go home now because our battle is tomorrow."
Even though it was a heartwarming scene, it had to be broken eventually, after all, they had to go home and put their children to bed.
Shito nodded his head. "Well, looks like it's time for me to go home now. We will see you tomorrow." He let go of Lucia's hand and walked over to Tenka, who was still holding Illya. Shito himself still had a tight grip on his daughter even though he was carrying her with one arm.
With that, Tenka and Shito started walking back to their dorms, they were ready to go home and put their daughter to bed. Their daughters were sleeping through all the time they had been talking. Illayaka and Illya fell asleep as soon as they jumped into their parents' arms. That was because their bodies were more comfortable than the beds they slept on. Even though Shito's muscles were toned in solid if one were to lay on him, they would feel like they were laying on a bed full of pillows, and Tenka's body felt the same.

In the middle of a leisure room, two figures stood looking at each other. They were holding two little girls tightly in their arms, but the touch was gentle enough to let the little girls sleep peacefully. One of the figures was, Shito Mahinu, A beautiful person with long light sandy-blond hair and beautiful caramel-brown eyes. His hair was not tied up and it flowed down his back. Hair that was well-groomed and lustrous. He was holding his daughter, Illayaka Mahinu. The other was Tenka Vermillion, she was a beautiful woman with long lustrous silver hair, and eyes that were chromic, leaning towards the pink and purple color, with a tint of blue in it. She was holding their other daughter, Illya Mahinu.
Shito and Tenka had just finished their date and decided to take their daughters home after having their conversation with Lilith and Lucia. They had enough time to get a friendly rival started.
Even though I have a rival my age. It's not even really a rival because she simply can't touch me if we fight. Unless I decided that she could hit me, after all, at my current strength I'm the second strongest in this world. My sister is the strongest as of right now but that's because of the seven seals I have placed on myself. Tenka is not that far from an s-rank adventure and my daughters are above s-rank adventures via skills that received from me and their mother.
Shito looked at Tenka, deeply sighing, "Well, it's time for us to put our daughters to bed. They have been since this morning, so the least we can do is tuck them in."
"You are right… but where are going to lay them down at...?"
"They can lay down in your bed. Where did you think, they were going to lay at?"
"Well… I wanted to lay down beside you tonight. We haven't lay down beside each other in a while and we can't lay with the children because our bed is too small, we are going to have to get a bigger bed."
Hearing that, he looked around the room and created a mana screen that appeared in front of his face. The screen showed the face of his sister on it, and there was a phone long on it. The mana screen was dialing his sister so he could have a conversation with her.
After a couple of minutes, his sister's face showed up on the screen and he looked up at her.
"What do you want to talk about, little brother?"
"Do you mind if I change the dorm room around a little bit? Even if you say no, I'm going to still do it, but I still have a little decency to ask you."
Sara looked at her little brother before turning away. "You can do whatever you want to your dorm room. I can fix it later." she adjusted her eyes to the papers that were in front of her. She was still in her office at the school, signing papers.
"Make sure you get some sleep sister." Shito said, "Even though you can go decades without sleeping because of the mana you possess, I still want you to take a break from work. Overworking yourself is a terrible thing you know."
"Awwww! Is my little brother worried about m—"
Shito instantly hung up the phone before she could finish talking, there was no need for him to hear what she was about to say. He heard her try to tease him a lot and he simply ignored her.
"Well with that being said… Let's get this thing started. I'm allowed to change the room the way I like, so I'm going to make the best use of it."
