Adaption is Key (An Aza Chobei Fanfic)

Epilogue: A New Life

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While they were walking towards their mansion, Mizuho was telling her perspective on the journey with Chobei and Toma filling in some of the gaps. The sisters were amazed by their eldest sister's skills, but apologized for adding a lot of pressure on her. Although Mizuho also asking for forgiveness as well, she confessed that she's glad that she eventually became more confident in herself. As the Bandit King looked at the girls saying sorry to each other, he smirked at how the sisters were similar to one another until they finally arrived at their destination.

Throughout the months, the Aza brothers and Mizuho were trained the latter's sisters. The three had also trained themselves in using the local weapons, albeit more easily due to their previous experiences in combat. Although they struggled at first, they copied their eldest sister's dancing style with warfare and eventually got used to defending themselves, but using different weapons. The second-eldest Mairi and fifth-eldest Yotsuba specialized in jians. The third-eldest Fujiko and the fourth-eldest Amami trained themselves to use hook swords. The twins Tsumugi and Mukuro fought with yanmaodaos, while the third-youngest Barami preferred using firearms. The second-youngest Yaeko decided to use butterfly swords, as a result of her young age. For the youngest one, Toka used Mizuho's old fans, due to being "more cute" in the little girl's words. In addition to their physical training, all of them were able to get an education from Toma, Mizuho, and even Gui Fa. As a result, they also became Chobei's close advisors.

Asides from that, Chobei was asked by Gui Fa to potentially speed up the process of growing the other Tensen's ovules, due to sharing the Metal Tao. Tsumugi and Toka also had the same element, so all four of them huddled with each other, waiting for something to happen.

"This isn't working..." grumbled Chobei.

"Please be patient..." Gui Fa advised.

"But it's not working!" Toka complained, feeling disappointed in herself.

"It's alright, sis." Comforted Tsumugi. "Maybe it's because the two of us haven't trained enough yet."

Mizuho was behind them as she noticed her youngest sister frown.

"Hey hey..." she said, walking and crouching next to her, "you already did your best. We can try again next--"

Suddenly, one of the ovules started growing as a baby with pink-haired appeared. However, the infant's locks looked more humanoid than looking like petals.

"Mei..." muttered Chobei, Mizuho, and Gui Fa.

The girls were amazed that they get to see a Tensen born in front of them.

"So cute!!!" cheered Toka and Tsumugi. "Guys, come up here!!!"

Soon, everyone entered the room, surprised to see a baby in the room. The girls started adoring the child being held by Gui Fa as the three looked content.

"This is our family..." spoke Mizuho.

"Yes, and I love it." Chobei responded, pecking her on the cheek.

A year had passed since they moved to Hong Kong. Although the rest of the Tensen weren't able to be revived, Gui Fa noticed that they were slowly starting to sprout, but the osmanthus-haired immortal wanted to help their siblings for the future. In order to pass up the time, they decided to focus more on providing a more humane way to secure Tan instead of what Rien ordered them to do many centuries ago. As a result, they spent most of their days studying in their room, usually going out with bodyguards to borrow books for their research. Eventually, after many dates, Chobei and Mizuho got married and ruled the organization together. On the other side, Chobei's gang had entered the crossfires between the British, the underworld, and the secret agents of the Qing dynasty. Therefore, there were times when one of these enemies would invade the base.
