24 Returning Home With A Girl

"Was there a sword hidden in those ruins?"

"A sword?... Why are you asking?"

"Back in my village, there is a legend that a powerful sword rests in those ruins. I actually went into the forest to find that sword. But at the moment I'm feeling quite weak so I need to rest first and try again next time."

"Kukuku, there's no need to go back next time."

"Huh, why?" I looked at the smiling Tsukiyomi in confusion.

"You already saw the sword, so there's no need to go back."

'Huh, when did I ever get to see a sword? Is my memory faulty because of the battle? That can't be it, can it?' "I don't remember seeing a sword, and how do you know if I saw it or not?"

"Cause the sword in the legend you're talking about should probably be me."

"Huh?"

"You know how legends like that change since it's pa.s.s around from person to person. The people sometimes change the story. I've been in those ruins for a long time, and there was never a sword there, only me."

"I see..."

"Kukuku, are you disappointed?" Tsukiyomi looked at me with a mischievous smile on her face. I shook my head as I answered.

"No, not really. It didn't really matter to me if you were a sword or not. I only came to the forest because of the powerful presence I felt when I was younger, and I wanted to see what it was. Seeing that presence came from a beauty instead of a sword, it's a win for me don't you think so?"

"Kukuku, you really know how to flatter a lady."

I successfully escaped the forest and was now in a heated interrogation from my parents. Seeing as I returned home exhausted, bruised, bleeding all over, and most importantly I even brought back a beautiful girl.

Of course, with such a situation my parents berated me and started asking a ton of questions. I answered them in detail. After a grievous Q and A, my parents finally understood the situation.

"So that means Tsukiyomi here is an Ethereal?" My mom asked Tsukiyomi while looking at her with a glare. Tsukiyomi unperturbed by my glaring mom nodded at my mom's question.

My mom then spoke with a little hostility and said. "So you formed a contract with Edge? So that means you did that! With my son!" I need not mention what that was, my mom was now emitting an aura full of hostility.

Before things escalate anymore I intervened. "Mom please don't do that, she is someone I'm indebted too. She is the one who saved me from a very dire situation." I said to mom with the utmost gentle tone I could muster, but it was ineffective.

My mom was now crying "My dear husband (hic)... Edge (hic) wuuu, Edge hates me now Waaaaahhhhh!" My mom started wailing.

My dad looked at me and then s.h.i.+fted his attention to Tsukiyomi. "Thank you for saving my son." My dad bowed deeply in front of Tsukiyomi. My mom looked at dad in surprise. Even I was surprised I thought surely my dad would also show some hostility.

"Think nothing of it." Tsukiyomi answered elegantly as if this was a talk between a merciful queen and her knight.

"Seri I know how you feel, but she did save our son's life. So I think it is best to offer her your grat.i.tude." My mom blinked at my dad and simply stared at him for a while when finally she nodded her head. She wiped the tears from her eyes and stood up. The same as dad she bowed deeply towards Tsukiyomi.

"Thank you for saving my son." Tsukiyomi nodded in acknowledgment. My dad then clapped his hands

"Then now that's over and done with..." My dad exhaled deeply then suddenly shouted.

"WHO THE h.e.l.l DO YOU THINK YOU ARE? BEWITCHING OUR PURE EDGE LIKE THAT! MAKING A CONTRACT. AND EVEN STEALING OUR BOY'S FIRST KISS! WHO THE h.e.l.l DO YOU THINK YOU ARE B*TCH!"

Everyone was stunned speechless. After that, my father sighed "Ok now that's out of my system. I can fully accept you. You can have the room in front of Edge's. I know what your contract entails. Also, it seems like my son has approved of you so I have no objections." My dad looked at mom. My mom nodded and added to dad's speech. "Well, then Tsukiyomi Welcome to the Regius household."

After the talk with my parents, my little sister was waiting for me outside the room. She then pounced on me and hugged me tightly. Seeing this scene Tsukiyomi asked, "Is this your little sister?"

"Yes, she is. Let me introduce you. Sarah this is Tsukiyomi, my partner. Tsukiyomi this is Sarah Regius, my beloved little sister."

Sarah looked at Tsukiyomi then hugged her as well. "Thank you Tsukiyomi-nee-sama for saving my Onii-chan." Tsukiyomi smiled and patted Sarah's head.

"My, my, my what an astonis.h.i.+ngly adorable child this is." After hugging Tsukiyomi, Sarah looked at me with tears in her eyes.

"Onii-chan isn't allowed to leave Sarah's side! Onii-chan isn't allowed to die." After hearing that, I hugged my little sister tightly. "All right then Onii-chan will promise Sarah he will never die and leave little Sarah's side."
