I stood there shaking Ace's hand. We were both using a lot of force as we stood there gazing at one another. Kurumi gripped my hand tightly along with hers.

"Grandpa!" I heard Midori say gaining his attention. She had her hands outstretched towards him. He looks at her and gives a convincing smile. I gripped his hand with more force to intimidate him.

"Oh I'm sorry I have to speak with the head master... Pyrrha I look forward to your match and... Boy." He said looking at me, "Don't hurt my daughter."

"I'll care for her to the best of my abilities." I said as we stared at one another before he finally left towards the school.

"He's a little strict but I'm sure he'll warm up to you." Pyrrha said as I stood there clenching and unclenching my hand.

"Yeah I'm sure we will... I have to do somethings... Midori stay with Pyrrha and behave." I said patting her head through her hat, "Now there is something I need to tell Kurumi so you girls go ahead and she'll catch up later." I said.

"Kay!" Midori yelled, "Let's go Mama!" The four girls leave me and Kurumi alone as I turn to her. She was still shaken at our encounter with Ace.

"Kurumi..." I said grabbing her shoulders.

"B-big... Big bro..." She said still struck by fear.

"Kurumi listen." I said. She looks at me fear in her eyes, "He isn't going to hurt anyone. Not if he wants his daughter to know who he is, but just in case You, Amber, or Jett are to be with Midori at all times when I'm not. That or let Pyrrha watch her, understand?" I said looking at her.

"Y-yes... I understand..."

"You okay?" I asked her.

"Y-yes... I'm fine..." She said but I knew she wasn't. I took this moment to hug her to hopefully calm her down, "Big... Bro?" She questioned.

"If you are ever in danger call me. I will find and protect you just like I did years ago." I said to her.

"Yes. You're right." She said hugging me, "I should go catch up with them." She said as she looked at me, "You rarely hug my, but when you do they are always warm." She said before she ran off where Midori and the others went.

"Okay now..." I pulled out my scroll, "I should finish this first."

I made my way to team CFVY's room. I approached the door and sighed, "Man this is surprisingly hard."

"Oh? Darling is nervous? How unique."

"Ishtar..."

"Can't wait for you to do that to me." I just sighed as I knocked on the door.

"Please keep quiet. This is hard enough to do." I said waiting for the door to open, "Hopefully this eases my mind from my earlier encounter." The door opens and I see Coco looking at me.

"You're here." She said, "Come in." I enter and see Velvet sitting at her bed.

"So what did you wanted to talk about?" She asked me.

"Well... Umm... Boy this is actually harder than the first go..."

"What is?" Coco asked. I look at the two and sigh. If Neo is four months pregnant these two are three, "I'm sure you two are aware I'm not the most... Emotion savy person on Remnant."
