After a long and lasting kiss, Shina nodded in satisfaction and walked towards the refrigerator while shaking her h.i.p.s provocatively.
Theo shook his head and smiled. Although Shina was shy, she was always more daring when she and he were alone.
Picking up a large packet of meat, Shina turned and said, "Theo, you said before that you expanded Volts City, correct?"
"Yes, although not much." Theo nodded.
"Won't these women and children you took to live in the city cause problems?" Shina asked, "Because let's say, they are demons and have a tendency to be aggressive, true?"
Theo pondered and replied: "Not exactly, I realized that not all of them are like that. Although they do have a more aggressive instinct, it is not necessarily without reason. It just happened that this race of demons grew up in disorder and full of hatred, among other things, which made them act aggressively."
"So, are you saying that now that they have all their memories erased they will live differently?" Shina asked, finding it plausible.
"Exact." Theo said: "Many things can change the way we think depending on the way we live. As there are laws and rules that they must follow in our city, they lived in a prosperous and crime-free environment, which will not be a bad influence on their behavior."
"Well, it's not that I don't understand that." Shina sighed: "I hope everything goes well."
Theo approached her and hugged her from behind.
"Kya!"
"Silly girl." Theo kissed her face and smiled when he saw her look at him with a slight blush: "No need to worry, even if some of them get off the line, as long as it's not serious, they'll be penalized, well, although I hope not there is no case that leads to their death."
"Thus, I hope too." Shina turned and hugged him tightly, snuggling her head against Theo's broad, strong chest.
"Ok, I won't be disturbing you." Theo kissed her forehead and distanced himself.
"It wasn't disturbing me..." Shina murmured.
Theo pretended not to hear but smiled seeing that both Shina's neck and ears were pink.
Minutes later.
"Theo, I need to go to the bathroom, can you keep an eye on things here for me?" Shina asked.
"Yes, you can go." Theo nodded and smiled.
"Thanks!" Shina turned her heel and left the kitchen.
"Ahem!"
"Why are you standing there? Enter Mizuki." Theo turned and said.
"And I thought I was able to hide properly." Mizuki put his hand in front of her mouth and laughed as he approached.
"It wasn't bad." Theo said: "But it is still far from being able to hide from me."
"I can't deny that." She smiled.
"Tell me, what's the problem?" Theo asked.
"Why do you think you have a problem?" Mizuki frowned and stopped 2 meters away from him.
"There is not?" Theo asked.
"..." Mizuki sighed: "Yes, well. It's not really a problem, just... Mm, I wanted to talk to you alone for a while."
She walked to the table where Theo was before making the sweets, she took one and ate it. She turned to Theo again and said, "Mm, are you happy? I mean, about having a child with Yuki?"
"Yes, very happy." Theo responded immediately with a gentle smile on his face.
"I see..." Mizuki hesitated, looking hesitant to speak, she took a deep breath with her hand on her chest, she asked, "Can I ask you a question?"
"You're already doing one now." Theo laughed: "But tell me, what do you need to ask me?"
"Look..." She licked her fingers that she smeared with brigadier and asked: "Theo, you love my daughter, like your own daughter, right?"
"Yes, that's right." Although he didn't know what she was getting at, Theo replied.
"So... answer me sincerely." She asked seriously, "Is that going to change after your son with Yuki is born?"
"Of course not!" Theo replied firmly: "I will still continue to love her. I give my word!"
"I'm glad to hear this." Mizuki felt more relaxed, but still hasn't asked exactly what she wanted to ask: "But will it be always like this? I mean, are you always going to treat her like your daughter?"
"And could it be different?" Theo frowned: "Mizuki, you are asking this because you think I will want to make Little Yui my wife in the future?"
"I don't deny it, I got to thinking." Mizuki sighed: "Understand, I know you don't see Little Yui like that right now, but I still worry about how it will be in the future. So I wanted to ask since even though you treat her like your daughter, she is not yet of your blood. In addition, in many peoples, it is customary for a father to marry his daughter."
"Mizuki..." Theo replied sincerely: "I understand your point, but I don't see her like that, and I don't think I'll ever see her like that. For me, Little Yui is my daughter and always will be."
He sighed and continued: "But I cannot say with any certainty that it will continue like this. I cannot predict the future and if have a small chance of one day Little Yui came to develop feelings for me, not as a father, but as a man... I honestly cannot say what my reaction will be. Even because I never thought about it before."
"I understand, thank you for answering me so sincerely." She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't intend to interfere or anything. I was just worried about her future."
Theo created a clone with his illusion and left it to take care of the stove, and approached Mizuki, holding her two hands, looking into her green jade eyes, he said: "Mizuki, I promise I won't do anything that could hurt our daughter. I love her so much, and all I want is for her to be happy."
"I now know that. I believe in you." Mizuki's lips curved in a gentle and charming smile: "I'm glad you found my daughter... I mean, our daughter!"
"I'm glad you think so, Mizuki." Theo gave Mizuki a light kiss on the cheek and turned, heading towards the stove while making his illusion of himself disappear.
What he didn't see was that the moment he turned around, Mizuki froze in place and his cheeks, neck, ears were red. She felt her heartbeat increase wildly. For a moment, she was short of breath. Taking a deep breath, she wanted to get out of there as soon as possible.
"I returned." When Shina returned, Mizuki passed her like a rocket.
"Did I hinder anything? What happened to her?" Shina looked puzzled at the silhouette of Mizuki who passed her.
"I don't know." Theo said, "We were both talking, and she left as soon as you arrived. Maybe she wanted to go to the bathroom too~"
"Well..." Shina stopped looking at the kitchen door and looked at Theo and smiled: "Never mind then. Thank you for taking care of everything for me."
"It was not a big deal. I have to thank you for always making delicious food." Theo smiled and went about making more brigadier.
