What We Do Now [Threequel to The Queen of Them]

5

(Y/n)'s POV

It took me about a day to heal fully from my wounds I suffered from Takizawa. I was able to actually keep down the skin given to me by Akria. Sighing softly, I had put on my given uniform used in being promoted. I looked at myself in the mirror and let my hair flow down.

Walking out the room, I had saw Haise - my current boyfriend - standing with Takara in her arms. I smiled softly at the two, walking towards them. Kissing Takara's head, I had rested my head on Haise's shoulder. Haise's hand was placed on my waist, holding me closely.

"We should leave. The ceremony is about to start soon." Haise pointed out, causing Takara to whine. "Now now, we'll be back. We have to be promoted, isn't that right (Y/n)-sama?"

I nodded, looking at my daughter. "Mama and Papa will be back within one hour." I stated, removing a piece of her hair out of her face. "Please be a good girl, Takara."

"Yes Mama."

Leaving Takara in the hands of some investigators, Haise and I walked towards the room everyone was supposed to be in, hand in hand. I couldn't help but blush a bit. We headed onto the stage, standing next to each other. The promotions of the lower graded investigators were first, before promoting myself to Special Class Investigator - no longer being an Associate Special Class Investigator. I couldn't help but feel eyes glued into my body as my name was called, causing me to feel nervous. But the moment the promotions were over, I felt a pair of hands find my own once more. I looked to my right and saw Haise there with a soft smile.

I'm one of the top dogs - just like Arima-san.. This is weird, considering that I'm a ghoul and all.. But still, it's a bit odd for the others to see me rise so quickly. I thought, having a drink in hand while watching the other investigators talking to one another. Sighing softly, I took a sip of my drink and looked down. Hinami-chan got captured.. It's all my fault.. I should've told her to fucking leave.. I could've handled it all in my own, but she stayed because of Haise-sama.. I seriously haven't changed, have I? "Damnit all.." I muttered under my voice. Looking at the clock on my phone, I sighed, seeing that it was close to Takara's nap time. "I should get going now."

I put the glass down and proceeded to leave the area I was in, walking out the door. "(L/n)-san!" Turning around, I was faced with someone I didn't know, only to see my daughter chasing the poor man with markers. "I'm sorry to interrupt you in the event, but your daughter has drawn on others!"

Holding in my chuckles, I picked up my child, swiftly removing the markers in her hands. "Mama, I was drawing a cat!"

"Takara, I've told you not to draw on people, only on paper. Please apologize to this man." I pointed out, seeing my daughter pout a bit.

"I'm sorry.."

I had bowed down slightly. "Please forgive my daughter for her rudeness. She's still a child and it seems like I spoil her." I apologized.

"No no, it's fine, (L/n)-san. She doesn't know any better, after all. Now, if you excuse me." The young investigator bowed, leaving the two alone.

"Mama, where's Papa?" Takara asked me.

"Papa is with your uncles and aunt. We'll meet them in the house okay? Now, it's time for your nap. Let's go home."

Yawning, Takara nodded, resting her head against my neck. I smiled gently and walked out headquarters. Now that this is over, I wonder what will happen..? I thought as I was walking towards the Quinxs' house.

"Takara, put your shoes on! We're going to leave now!"

"Okay, Mama!"
