[•Lucine's POV•]
Hmm, Lunate's been really busy lately, not that it's the first, but this one is more suspicious than usual.

Leaving every night for some 'business meeting' he says, he has been since 3 years ago. What kind of shitty business meeting takes that long!? Its just ridiculous, utterly ridiculous!

Ah shit, did I just...?

Nevermind that, this year is the year the trios would be born. It's also already been three years since Yuugo and his friends have... Separated.

I really wish there was a way to give the poor guy some companion while he stays stuck there for the next decade, maybe I should leave a kid on the bunker entrance? Nah, too suspicious. A pet? Nah, its too convenient and suspicious that he'd suddenly find a dog or cat in the woods.

Hmmm...

While I was deep in thought, I haven't realized that I was teleported away from my office in the capital to the 7 walls.

"Daughter." I heard my Father's familiar voice call out, which made me snap out and look him in the eye.

"Oh! Hey Dad! What's up?" I asked.

"Why do I feel our blood and power in one of the experiments in Lambda?" He asked.

"Eh?" I blinked, tilting my head to the side in confusion.

"Experiment #20, female. She has our blood and power, do you know why?" He asked again, this time, more specific.

"...One moment please." I said as I went in my special place.

I opened my eyes and saw the familiar hill and tree, the field still green as ever with some colorful flowers throughout. I manipulated my mana to search my memories, going to a specific one I knew had to be the one.

I rewatched the scene where I put my genomes and mana in a small bottle that labeled Experiment #20.

"Ah, well shit." I muttered, going out of my special place and back to Dad.

When I came back, he was still sitting there crossed legged in his child form, his eye not straying away from me. Cuvi was beside him sleeping peacefully, unaware of might happen after I tell his master.

"(⌒‿⌒)"

"Um, good news: Yes, I do know why. Bad news: I was the one who put it there, so..." I informed with a sweatdrop.

Shit, why do I feel nervous? Its not like he can kill me. Well, he can, it just won't be permanent. Not to mention a bit painful.

"Ah, I see..." He mused, bringing us to a very thick silence that felt like I could suffocate if I exhale just once.

"This is great! Now you two will have a little sister to take care of!/(^ヮ^)\" He cheered with a clap of his hands.

"....."

Wut?

"I'm sorry, could you repeat that?" I said in utter bafflement.

"I still have another half of my power that could be of use to you two, I shall give it to your little sister once she is born!" He ignored my confusion and continued his happy rant.
