A.N: I don't really have any plan on resurrecting Amane Celeste (Fairy Saintess), as for the reason I did this part, it is all for Aika's character development. I think there are no merits in reviving her anyways.

"You left me with no choice then! I will destroy this Ice Chamber and let your daughter see what kind of a person you truly are!." Alisha said in a tone full of warning and in a split second, the Ice that was surrounding them all cracked under her pressure and without even wasting any more time, she flew where "Amane" was because it was already guaranteed that she was with her precious daughter and this would be the perfect time to reveal what kind of Mommy she truly was.
When she then turned around she only found Yuki staring at the Flute without even caring even after she got away which disturbed her, but that didn't let her hinder her plan as she continued her way, and when she finally arrived she was glad to see that there was no suspicion by all of them. And just as she approached Aika, the little girl became wary of her and started to put a little bit of distance between them.
"Who- who are you Big Sister?" Aika hid behind Amane who was clearly shocked after seeing her Mother appear in front of her suddenly and she was sweating all over, it was clear that she was nervous and fearful about something. But no matter how Alisha thinks of something, she can't exactly know why she was acting like that, but nonetheless, she chose to ignore it for now and begins to slowly comfort her daughter who was shaking behind her.
"Oh, you don't have to be scared of me. I'm not a bad person, right Amane?" Alisha flashed a gentle smile which slowly eased the tense heart of Aika and seeing that the person in front of her doesn't mean any harm, she came out from hiding behind Amane's back to stare at Alisha who somehow looked familiar. And when she saw that she somehow had the same features as she, she stared at her Mother before switching back to Alisha, and it didn't long for her to conclude that the woman in front of her is definitely a part of their family.
"Are you my Mother's sister, big sister? The two of you look so much the same!" The previous scared and nervous Aika was gone and was now replaced with a happy and excited one she even begins to circle around Alisha to take a closer look at her and the more she looks at her the more she found the similarities between the three of them which made her even happy because it seems like she had even more family members.
"Fufufu… You're right about one thing, little Aika. I am a part of your Family, but I'm not your Mother's sister. I'm her Mother. Meaning… I am your Grandmother!" Alisha chuckled and asked if she could carry Aika to which she immediately said yes after learning that she was her Grandmother knowing it, she was so happy and crossed her arms around Alisha's neck before resting her head on her chest and found the comfort that she had lost.
"Such a spoiled child… Aika, do you want to hear a story from your Grandmother?" Alisha whispered the first sentence to her mind before she finally started to execute her plans to reveal everything to Aika so that she can break the bond between mother and daughter and when she is at her weakest, she was going to use that to revive her daughter. She had a hunch that Yuki couldn't destroy the Flute since it was something precious to the both of them so she gathered her courage and asked Aika if she wants to hear a story.
"Ummm! Yes, I love stories! Mommy would sometimes read me bedtime stories to let me fall asleep and I miss them sometimes. But she is busy, so she doesn't have time to read me stories again." Aika said in an expectant voice, anyone could tell that she was excited to hear a story from her Grandmother which made everyone chuckle in response because of her cuteness.
"Good, don't worry, Grandmother will definitely tell you a story. In fact, it's a story about your Mother. Yuki is…." Just like that, Alisha begins to tell everyone a story about Yuki that had an underlying meaning that she wanted to kill Amane and she didn't need to clarify anything because she was already confident that all of them can understand the true meaning of her words since they are all geniuses above everyone in their generation.
"What, are you saying that Yuki is evil because she wants to do something to Amane? Do you have any proof to back your claim?" Kurokami asked coldly as she already understood what Alisha was trying to do, she then stood in front of her without any fear in her and begins to ask for evidence of her claim. How can she stand there and just watch how her Wife was being slandered by her own grandmother-in-law? Plus she felt like it was something more than just upright slandering her, Kurokami feels that it is something even deeper than that.
"Well, it looks like you're quite smart Vampire Lady. Of course, I would just come here to slander that woman if I don't have any evidence. And if you want one, here you go. This is the Flute where Amane Soul resides and as you can see it already has cracks in them. Also, if you are questioning if the Amane here is fake, you're wrong. She is still the same Amane, it's just that more than half of her Soul is in here, and destroying it can lead to her death. So now, do you believe me?" Alisha showed a sad smile as if she was depressed that Yuki could be plotting so evil and showed all of them the Flute that originally belongs to Yuki, and just as she describes, it was full of cracks and was already on the brink of breaking.
"What the… how is that possible. You must be lying, how can Yuki possibly do that, she loves her daughter, and destroying that Flute would only lead to the death of Amane. There is no way she will do that!" Fumiko yells in denial as she refused to believe the words that were coming out of Alisha's mind even though the evidence is already in front of them. She was just like everyone, refusing to believe her words but they can't deny it because they have no power to do so. The moment they saw the Flute, they already knew that it was real because of the red spider lily seal that was on it.
"You can choose to believe me or not, but I choose to trust what I saw and hear. Yuki wants to kill my daughter and that is why I am here. I am here to take both of them away from that monster." Alisha said before taking a deep breath and taking a look at Aika who was silent this whole time, but she can feel that her whole body was trembling.
"Aika, will you go with your Mother back to our home so that I can keep you safe? Letting you stay here with that woman is dangerous and I don't know what she might do to you behind our backs." Alisha placed her hand on Aika's head and waited for an answer, but in her heart, she was very nervous. She was afraid that Aika would be too blinded by her love for Yuki and still stay with her after telling a lie.
