After waking up from her sleep, Akura wondered how she returned to her home, but didn't ponder it.
She swiftly got dressed and left to explore more parts of the city.
However, before she managed to leave the house, Aki appeared behind her with a soft stoic smile.
"Mh? Big sis, you're coming with me?" Akura asked curiously.
Aki nodded as she was ordered to watch over Akura closely and stop anything before it went too far.
"Of course, Aku. I know some places you would enjoy," She hummed, easily making up a reason to go with her young mistress.
Akura's ears perk adorably and excitedly.
"Places? What kind of places?"
"Secret~" Aki squinted her eyes as she leaned back.
"Booo!" Akura protested for a moment before reaching her hand out, leading Aki to be confused.
"Aku... What are you doing?" She tilted her head at her young mistress.
"Aren't you going to hold my hand?"
[You have used "Puppy Eyes"]
Akura looked up at Aki with her big, wide purple doe eyes.
"Ugkh..." Aki took a step back from having her heart shot by Akura's adorableness.
"Y-Yes, Akura..." She takes Akura's hand before going down the path, her heart is beating like drums at the rock concert due to the effectiveness of Akura weaponized cuteness.
'Too dangerous...' Aki exhaled before calming herself as they walked down the path.
"Aku?"
"Yes?"
"Did you enjoy the lunch I made for you yesterday?"
"Mhm!" Akura nodded happily. "The food they give out at food stalls doesn't even compare to your lunch! Kuku!"
Aki's smile grew wider, and she now has an intense urge to spoil her 'little sister.'
"Glad to know Aku."
"Uminoo~ Uminoo~" Akura started singing the same melody from yesterday.
Aki noticed this and decided to join in.
"O'rrleaaa~ Home will always be here for her~"
Akura giggled as she heard Aki singing along with her.
"Kuku! Lour D'hvaglaa~"
"Uminoo~"
"The home of the universe is itself~"
"Yggdrasil may watch over the universe~"
"Oounnn Y'laanaaa~"
"We are their children~"
"We are their blessing~"
"The stars will forever be eternal partners to the moon~"
"Oounnn Y'laanaaa~"
"We are their children~"
"We are their blessing~"
"Oh Uminoo~ Uminoo~!"
"May she sleep peacefully in her home..."
"Lour D'hvaglaa~ Y'laanaa~!"
Both of them stopped and looked at each other, smiling widely.
"Kukukukuku." "Hehehehehe."
"We should do this more often, big sis!"
"Certainly, Aku, although let's sing other melodies too."
Akura nodded, her tail wagging happily and excitedly. Imagining the future where she is adventuring with Aki, singing and having fun as they travel all around.
She would meet new people, maybe they would join them. Sitting around a campfire, telling their stories and singing together. Eating together, bickering and having fun...
These thoughts of Akura further strengthened her desire to explore the world.
"You'll be with me forever... Right, Aki?"
Aki nodded as she continued walking down the path, holding Akura's hand.
"Forever and ever"
"Kukuku..."
Time flows by like the wind. Akura never noticed how fun it could be exploring the city until Aki joined her.
Being able to share opinions on the food they ate, where they want to go, and talking to each other. It is more fun than being alone, exploring the city.
...
..
.
"Akiii~!" Akura whined adorably as she repetitively tugged on Aki's sleeve.
"Aku, no. I am not going to bring you out of the city."
"Why not!"
"You're too young!"
Akura started 'fake' tearing up.
"You meanie!" Akura runs away. Aki isn't afraid of losing her because Akura's shadow guards are still following her, and they will give her the location of Akura.
"Ahh..." Aki shook her head before an idea popped into her head.
"Perhaps I can convince her to train her stats and skill..." She smiled widely.
"Gotta get M'lady's permission first." She hummed before going in the direction of Akura.
...
..
.
"Eh? Really? So I can only go out of the city if I train?"
"Mhm" Aki nodded, which proceeded to make Akura lose all motivation.
"I don't wanna~" She lets out a bratty whine, her tail thumping against the ground.
"..."
"I was born to laze around!" She howled.
"Yes Yes Yes and I was born to serve your family." Aki crossed her arms with a smug smile.
"I don't want to train!"
Then you will never leave the city." Aki sighed as she rested her palm on her cheek and let out a 'woeful' exhale.
"I guess you will grow old here without going outside."
º△º
"EH?!"
"Hehehe"
"Ah! You were lying!"
"Maybe or maybe not," Aki shrugged.
Akura whimpers before deflating onto the ground, which she was picked up by Aki, so she doesn't dirty her tail and clothes. Even though her kimono would never get dirty.
"Kuuuu..."
Aki pets Akura's head as she walks toward a restaurant.
"Let's go eat, Aku. This place serves the best pizzas"
"Pizza?" Her ears perk up excitedly.
"Indeed."
Akura tilted her head, wondering why there are so many different varieties of cuisine in this city. There are Korean foods, Italian foods, German foods, Japanese foods, etc!
"Uncle Josh fault, yesh" She accidentally bit her tongue at the end, blaming her godfather for everything that originated from Earth.
Aki's heart took another attack from Akura's accidental bite of tongue.
'Way too dangerous...'
...
..
.
All the customers inside the restaurant are currently peeking at a certain adorable white kitsune.
"Nwomm Nom Nmon Mnom... mhn... mn... Nom..." She quickly savours each slice with happy noises.
"Mngggghhh!" She let out a happy, soft, muffled squeal as she tasted pepperoni on the pizza; she had never had one before at the house.
"Hawt! Hawt!" She panted with her small tongue sticking out adorably, before she drank her cup of water. This action almost made all the customers, even the staff, unconsciously let out "Aww" at Akura.
Aki watches with an amused expression. Pepperoni may have spices in it, but it is too mild and insignificant, whereas for Akura, who hasn't eaten anything spicy at all. Might as well be burning hot.
"Nom Nwom Nwom..."
"Hehehe"
Aki giggles caught the attention of Akura, her ears perked at Aki's direction.
"Wyhart yur loaughing ouat." Akura pouted as she continued eating pizza, the cheesy gooiness combined with meats was so addicting for her 5-year-old taste buds.
"Nothing at all, Aku... Hehe"
"Nhmp! Nom Nwom Nmom..." She turned her head away and continued eating. Her tail is thumping subconsciously against her chair in happiness.
Akura doesn't even realise that she made most of the customers here have fainted from her cuteness, her ears twitching every time she fully savours each slice.
...
..
.
"Mh..." Akura is currently snoozing as Aki carries her.
"... Is this something you need?" Aki spoke as one of the shadow guards appeared behind her.
"3 malicious people stalking, keep moving forward. Retreat to the Ruo warding." After speaking, he disappeared, and immediately, Aki's expression turned cold.
Somebody hired them to stalk, possibly kill or kidnap her 'little sister.' Their audacity made Aki want to torture or kill them, but Akura is happily snoozing in her arms. She couldn't wake her up because she wanted to kill some bastards.
"Ahh.." She takes a deep breath before calmly walking toward the Ruo warding entrance. Remembering the melody that she and Akura sang together when they were leaving the warding centre.
She activated all of her sensing skills as she caressed her precious 'little sister’ hair. Nobody will touch a strand of Akura hair.
Nobody.
...
..
.
"Mh? Dinner?" Akura yawned adorably as she howled. She's sitting on her favourite cushion.
"Fufu, yes fluff-ball", Samiko smiled lovingly as Aki cooked in the kitchen. Masato is at his desk, doing paperwork. This was a strange situation for Akura.
"Mom? Why am I inside the office?" She spoke as she stretched out.
Akura never wakes up inside their office, always on her bed.
"Fufufu, some bed bugs snuck into your bed and ruined your bed. So you're staying here in the meantime."
Samiko's eyes glow subtly green.
"Kaaay~"
Akura's eyelids get heavier as she yawns again, slowly going back to sleep.
"Snuu. Snuu..."
"Fuuuh... I'm sorry, my adorable daughter..." She sighed as she snapped her finger; she had used her magic to make her daughter go to sleep. After snapping her finger, Masato disappeared like a mist; it was an illusion the entire time!
"Everything will go back to normal..."
She walks over and kisses her forehead.
"Sweet dream."
She walks away and locks the office, turning it into one of the safest places in the whole world.
Her expression turned cold as her head turned to the left.
"Did you figure out which bastard it was?"
Masato approaches with intense bloodlust, turning the surrounding crimson red.
"Bring out my bow, hun"
"... Someone that powerful then?"
"..."
Samiko pulls out an ancient-looking bow from her dimensional pocket.
Masato took it and left for the courtyard.
She shook her head.
"Can't believe some people are this stupid to target the only child of the two heroes..."
She started smiling 'gently', and she moved to the basement.
Meanwhile, Masato removed his left arm's sleeves and positioned himself at a certain angle.
"249 degrees... 582km... The wind is gentle..." He tugs the string and pulls it back, reaching to his cheekbone. Stretching his back muscle as he squinted his eyes.
An arrow started manifesting itself on the pulled string.
"[Cursed Arrow], set."
"Go"
He released the arrow, instantly disappeared as intense wind pressure poured out and shook the entire house, threatening it to crumble. Then 5 sonic booms are heard, shaking the ground. The arrows fwips through the air, set on one target.
He pulls back his bowstring again, ready to shoot another arrow at another target.
...
"Oh, dear... I haven't seen Masato that angry for a long time..." She puts on her black gloves as she turns back to the 3 spies who were stalking them.
"Now then," She smiled even more 'gently.'
"Don't mind me~"
...
Damn, quite the extreme parents that they are. But I get it, they saved the world, and some people are stupid enough to target them with their malice, even at their own daughter.
Anyways, I drew a sassy Akura. I might draw a sleepy Akura next.
