"What? Then, is Aika alright?" Lian asked, her body started to tremble in fear, she has been quite close to Aika ever since, and she loves her just like a true little sister.
And knowing that Aika is currently using her Life force to make those seeds that make them feel better hurts her heart. Lian then began to remember how she asked Aika to make her some in the past few days. This makes her feel incredibly guilty about it.
"Don't blame yourself, even though I didn't know it myself, I thought it was because she is a Fairy that she was able to make them, but now that I know, I will not let her make them any longer," Yuki said, she then looked up at the sky above her with a deep gaze.
"Then, is there any way for her to use Qi? So that she wouldn't need to use her own life to make them." Anna asked, and she was also very worried about Aika. She is such a bright girl, she shouldn't experience something like that.
"Yes, but the process is going to be extremely painful. I will need to rebirth her whole body." Yuki explained.
"Now I understand why you are like this. You don't want Aika to feel any more pain." Anna sighed, she then came close to Yuki and hugged her from behind the chair, even though it was only a simple hug, it made Yuki feel at ease for a moment. It made her heart calm down a bit.
"This is only a suggestion. But, I think you should do it, Yuki. I know that this would make Aika feel better, even though the process would be painful. She needs to do it, or else." Lian said to Yuki.
"I know. I'm going to make her do it, but only if she agrees to it. I would not force her if she doesn't want to." Yuki finally made her decision, about awakening Aika's real power.
"I know it's going to be hard, but please don't forget that we are here," Anna said to Yuki, she then walked away from Yuki and silently dropped to her chair, that she did take a lot of strength from her. The scene of her kissing Yuki was still vivid in her mind.
"Alright, we should go now. It's already quite late, you also should go to sleep now Yuki. Aika also might be looking for you now." Lian stood up, she then bid her goodbye to the rest of them and entered her room, she was currently residing in Yuki's home.
"She's right, you two should also sleep now. If I find you two lurking out again, and taking Quest in the Guild. I will double your weights." Yuki warned the two.
"How- how did you know that?" Yumie and Katsumi looked extremely shocked while looking at Yuki.
"Alright, go to sleep all of you now. I'll stay here for a few more minutes." Yuki said to the three of them.
"Yes, Mother." The two entered their room at the same time, and as for Anna, she stayed for a few seconds before leaving. She took a glance at Yuki and finally left.
A few minutes of silence passed, and Yuki finally left the balcony and entered her room to sleep in. But, before she slept, she looked at Aika's room to take a peek. After seeing that she was still fast asleep, Yuki sighed in relief and left the room.
The morning came, and Yuki felt a massive headache. She drank too much last night, it was at least about 4 bottles of wine, and the wines that are in this world are much stronger.
Yuki took a warm bath to make her sore body relax, and after changing into some comfortable clothes, she then walked back to Aika's room to only find her awake. She then smiled after seeing her, and Yuki went close to Aika.
"Are you hungry?" Yuki asked as she sat down beside her.
"Yes! I'm super hungry !" Aika said, she then sat on Yuki's lap.
"Is that so? Then shall we go eat now?" Yuki then lifted her, and both of them walked towards the mansion's dining room where they saw Katsumi and Yumie who were already eating.
"Good morning, Mother, Aika!" Both of them came down from their chair and surrounded Yuki and Aika.
"Big sister!" Aika then came down from Yuki's hands and went over to hug her two sisters, Yumie then led Aika to sit on the chair and started to feed her slowly
All of them were trying their best to make Aika in the best shape possible before they will do the process of awakening Aika's power, Yuki has already told them that they would do it next week. So all of them partnered up to make Aika feel better and healthy in the time they have left.
And, finally, a week has passed. Aika is back from her usual self, being lively and happy. For the first day, and second. Aika was a bit scared to go out, as she got trauma from it, so she used most of her time inside the house and just played around. Sometimes she would also go out to the garden and bathe in the sun.
"Aika, I already told you right? If you ever feel any pain, just let Mommy know then we will cancel the awakening, okay?" Yuki patted her head, they had already informed Aika about what would be doing so that Aika could at least prepare herself when the time came.
And to Yuki's astonishment, Aika said that she is ready already. She also said that she could take the pain, as she wants to be like her Mommy. To grow stronger and protect Yuki, and her sisters.
This made Yuki proud of her, but she refused to do it and did the awakening when one week had passed.
"Yes, I understand Mommy!" Aika then sat in a flower position and closed her eyes for a moment, and when she opened them. Yuki could see the determination in them.
"Good girl." Yuki complimented her.
"Hehehe. Then we should start now Mommy!"
"Yeah." Yuki made a sharp Ice Knife, she then took a deep breath before cutting the palm of her hand, and Yuki then made Aika open her mouth.
She then placed her hand on top of Aika's mouth, and when a drip of blood dripped into Aika's mouth. Aika's body started glowing red, and soon it began emitting another color.
"Is this all of her Elements?" Yuki said, and those who were watching away were astonished to see Aika's all elements.
"It is ten! Amazing!" Lian said excitedly, all of them watched as Aika's body got covered in all kinds of elements.
"Wait, no. It's only 9. Did Yuki lie to us?" Lian muttered, and all of the rest also agreed, all of them could only see 9. But, that is because they couldn't see the Time Element, as it doesn't have a physical look.
"No, it's ten. You don't see the last one because it's not visible." Yuki appeared beside everyone which made Lian scream in shock.
"You scared me! Don't do that!" Lian smacked Yuki on the shoulder out of fright.
"Here you go, Miss Yuki." Miku suddenly appeared beside Yuki and gave her a towel to stop the bleeding.
"Thanks." Yuki took the towel and began to wipe her hand from the blood. Yuki has already hired Miku as a maid, but she is the maid for Yumie and Katsumi. She started working 3 days ago, but she only works for 7 hours a day as she doesn't want to stress and make her tired.
"What do you mean by that Yuki? I can only see 9 there. Blood being Red, Light is Gold, Dark is Black, Wind is Silver, Fire is Orange, Earth is Brown, Water is Blue, Nature is Emerald, Lightning is Purple." Lian began to count and list the Elements that she could see that were floating around Aika's body.
"As I said, it's ten. Throw a rock directly at her, you would see. Throw it as fast as possible." Yuki said to Lian.
Lian was confused at first, but she decided to trust Yuki and picked up a rock before throwing it as fast as possible. But suddenly, when it came close to Aika in about 5 meters. It suddenly slowed down, and as it slowed down, it finally stopped right in the air.
"See? Her last Element is Time Manipulation."
