A few hours later, Nemuri entered the gym wearing a simple white dress under a pink kitchen apron, which, along with her hair tied back in a ponytail and the warm smile on her lips, gave her a unique housewife charm.
Upon entering the gym, the first thing Nemuri noticed was a completely exhausted Kai lying on the floor with his limbs spread out, breathing heavily with a blank stare. She quickly approached him with some concern.
"Are you okay, Kai? Are you in pain?"
Hearing Nemuri's voice beside him, Kai turned to look at her and replied with a small smile.
"I'm fine, Onee-chan. You don't need to worry. I'm just resting."
"How can I not worry when the first thing I see is you lying on the floor in this state? What if you overexerted your body? I think we need to go to the hospital again." Nemuri replied in a serious tone, which made Kai quickly get up from the floor and speak hastily.
"No need, no need. I'm fine. I didn't overexert myself; I was just taking a small break. Look."
Nemuri scrutinized Kai as he jumped and threw several punches in the air, trying to show her he was fine. This caused a small sigh from the blue-eyed beauty, who commented thoughtfully.
"You know, Kai, thinking about it, it's not a very good idea for someone as young as you to be training without supervision. I think you should let…" As she spoke, Nemuri noticed Kai's furrowed brow, so she quickly corrected herself and continued, "...let your Onee-chan handle it. I'll find someone who can supervise you and maybe teach you martial arts."
With Nemuri's words, Kai fell into deep thought for a moment. He really did need someone to teach him how to fight, and he didn't know much about training beyond the basics. So he quickly nodded and agreed.
"That could work, Onee-chan. I really need someone to teach me how to fight and all that."
"Well, then it's decided. Leave it to your Onee-chan. I'll find someone suitable for the job, but for now, let's have breakfast."
"Okay."
Shortly after, Kai sat in the main dining room, where various dishes with all kinds of delicacies were already laid out. He began to eat with a voracious appetite while Nemuri watched him with a beautiful smile on her lips that conveyed tenderness and satisfaction.
"Thank you, Onee-chan. It was really delicious." After finishing eating, Kai thanked her sincerely, to which Nemuri responded with a warm smile.
"Fufu, you're welcome, Kai. Onee-chan is very happy that you like my cooking so much."
"It was really delicious."
"Fufu, I'm glad, but for now, it's time to bathe. We have visitors today." Nemuri commented cheerfully as she got up from her chair and picked up the little one, who could only ask in confusion.
"Visitors? Who's coming?"
"It's a surprise, fufu."
Resigned to his fate, Kai didn't even complain when Nemuri took him to the bathroom and bathed him, always with a big smile on her lips as if she genuinely enjoyed bathing him. She then dressed him in a comfortable black cotton T-shirt and gray shorts, along with gray sneakers.
After checking Kai's outfit, Nemuri nodded in satisfaction, then picked him up and carried him to the main living room, seating him on one of the comfortable and elegant sofas.
"Well, Kai, Onee-chan will wash the dishes and tidy up the kitchen. Wait here for a moment."
"Okay. By the way, Onee-chan, have you seen my computer?"
"Oh yes, give me a moment."
Shortly after, Nemuri handed Kai an elegant matte black laptop, evidently high-end, which had no brand or logo, just a sleek body made of what seemed to be some kind of metal.
As Nemuri gathered the dishes and took them to the kitchen, Kai powered on the laptop with familiar motions and attempted to connect to his work network, hoping it had a setup similar to the one he had at home.
"Well, it's no surprise it's on the default settings… okay, let's get to work."
After a light yawn and a stretch, Kai began organizing his network, setting up security protocols, changing passwords, and running tests on his private server clusters. But he quickly noticed that it was at least three times more powerful now.
"Wow, this damn server is a dream come true. How much did Mom and Dad spend on this? At least several million dollars, and Aunt Keiko probably helped, because I see several things that shouldn't even be on the market yet…"
With a melancholic smile on his face, Kai accessed the only external door his previous server had, then started a large-scale data migration, which he left running in the background while planning the development of a new project.
"Well, not using such computing power would be a sin… Sage, you son of a bitch, your time has come, hehehe."
With an 'evil' smile on his face, Kai opened a new design document where he started organizing his ideas, defining the technology to be used, learning algorithms, possible training datasets, and countless other variables that would affect the development.
"Well, the problem would be the training data. Although I could 'borrow' some from the internet, a good portion, especially high-quality data, is better bought, but they're very expensive… Well, I could also ask for help, but I don't really like the idea."
While Kai debated internally whether to ask a certain aunt with a lot of money and influence in the technology field for help, as the notion of asking for favors wasn't his style, he suddenly felt several presences approaching the property.
Curious, Kai set his laptop aside and looked out the window, quickly noticing the arrival of two elegant high-end black cars, from which two beautiful women with an almost aristocratic elegance and demeanor stepped out, followed closely by two beautiful little girls.
As the cars arrived, Nemuri came out of the kitchen drying her hands and quickly reached Kai, speaking to him with a small smile.
"Let's go greet our guests."
"Okay."
Nemuri and Kai went down to the entrance, where the little girls, upon seeing the blue-eyed boy, ran to him with all their might and hugged him tightly, burying their faces in his body.
"Kai-chan…"
"Kai-kun…"
With a nostalgic and somewhat complicated smile, Kai began to gently stroke the girls' heads, one with beautiful light blue hair and the other with black hair, more similar to his own.
"Kai-chan… I know you're very sad, but you can trust Onee-chan. I'll always be with you." The beautiful light blue-haired girl lifted her head and spoke in a trembling voice while looking into Kai's eyes, to which he simply responded with a warm smile.
"Thank you, Nejire Onee-chan."
"Kai… I love you so much, don't ever leave…" The little black-haired girl could only cling to Kai while weakly crying, so Kai couldn't help but hug her a bit tighter.
"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere, and I love you too, Momo."
"You promise?" The girl asked through her tears.
"I promise."
"I believe you, Kai-kun…"
"That's good."
While the children spoke, the adults in the scene couldn't hold back their tears, but they quickly wiped them away, and Yumiko softly commented,
"Why don't we talk inside?"
"Let's go in."
With the girls in his arms, Kai entered the beautiful mansion, closely followed by the elegant women who were filled with a myriad of emotions. Determined not to sadden the little ones further, they tried their hardest to contain themselves.
"Kai, Nejire, Momo, why don't you play in the garden while we adults have a chat?" Nemuri asked with a warm smile on her face. Kai nodded and led the little ones to the garden.
The three women sat around a beautiful table with a perfect view of the garden, where Nemuri soon brought tea and cookies.
"Nemuri, how has Kai been these days?" Keiko asked in a serious tone, her eyes practically screaming concern. Nemuri responded with a complicated expression.
"The truth is, much better. He's much more upbeat and calm, although as you could see, Kai's change in attitude seems irreversible…"
"…"
"…"
Keiko and Yumiko sighed deeply as they sipped their tea, watching the children talking in the garden. After a while, Yumiko spoke in a serious tone.
"And what do you plan to do about security, Nemuri? The news has leaked to the media, and now it's a disaster. All the news outlets are talking about it, and they even got pictures of Kai-chan at the hospital…"
"Is it that bad? I haven't had time to connect, and since the incident with his favorite show, Kai hasn't watched TV, so I'm a bit out of touch," Nemuri commented, a bit worried. Keiko responded in a cold tone that revealed traces of contained anger.
"Bad? Those bastards found out that Kai ran out of his room and are making a scandal about how the great hero's son is mentally unstable and a bunch of other garbage. There's even an idiot on the internet gathering signatures to reveal Kai's location and put him under surveillance because of a stupid conspiracy theory he came up with…"
Yumiko and Nemuri's expressions turned dangerous. Yumiko picked up her phone to confirm the information, and Nemuri ran to her room to get her phone to do the same.
"That son of a bitch…"
Seeing the video of a handsome young man with short light orange hair and hazel eyes, Nemuri couldn't help but curse angrily as she walked back to the table, eyes glued to her phone, gripping it so tightly it seemed it might explode at any moment.
The bastard in the video was speaking seriously while distorting the facts, inventing an absurd story in which he claimed, based on 'reliable sources,' that the real killer was little Kai, who, due to government experiments to enhance his quirk, lost control and ended up killing his parents.
"Who is this piece of trash?"
Yumiko, equally indignant, couldn't help but grit her teeth as she spoke. The most offensive thing wasn't the video itself but the millions of views and supportive comments it had. Keiko responded coldly.
"He's a useless parasite who lived off his parents his whole life and didn't even finish high school. A few years ago, he started making videos on the internet spouting all sorts of nonsense and conspiracy theories, but somehow he managed to gain millions of followers who blindly believe everything he says."
"This son of a bitch has to pay…" Nemuri exclaimed with a look full of hatred. Keiko responded in a cold, dry tone that seemed loaded with murderous intent.
"Don't worry, that son of a bitch will be paying for his stupidity for years to come. I've already got the biggest law firm in the country investigating him thoroughly, going all the way back to his birth, and soon that idiot will find out he messed with the wrong person."
"I'll contact a few acquaintances to help," Nemuri, equally determined to destroy the bastard who dared target her precious baby, commented with a vicious look on her beautiful face.
"I'll also talk to my contacts in the media and entertainment industry. I'm going to tear him apart." The usually calm and elegant expression on Yumiko's face was replaced by one distorted by rage and indignation.
Meanwhile, in the garden with Nejire and Momo, Kai started to sweat cold when he happened to glance at the women drinking tea with terrifying expressions, looking like wounded tigresses plotting their revenge, or even worse, a coven of witches planning a torturous curse.
