124 Episode 4: Retrieving the Skull Knuckles (1/2)
Since Yaya specifically mentioned the Fire Magic, that means whatever or whoever caused all of this, has a specific weakness against the element fire. After acquiring the inheritance of Suzaku, I am now able to conjure fire magic without the help of the Burning Gloves and I can release stronger magic than before, therefore, my ability will be really useful if they ever need it.
Yaya also mentioned that the items I left behind at school during the time I was sent with the others to the Phantasmal Reality to train were now sent to my house and currently, it was in the possession of Anya after she received it I was still in a coma. If that was the case, the skull knuckle that I have not used for how many months can be used again.
The tour around the new building is over before I knew it and I have nothing to do except to prepare for the mission with Yaya. Might as well retrieve the items in my bag from Anya and get the Skull Knuckle away from her. After all, it was kind of bizarre and I can't let her get tainted by the Skull Knuckle.
...
When I arrived in my room, I saw Anya currently watching television. Maple is no longer around which means she already went home. And from the looks of Anya right now, she is now able to cope up easily in this world. Maple must have thought her many things while I was still on a coma.
”Hey there Anya, I'm home, how are you doing in this world? Are you getting the hang of it compared to the Phantasmal Reality?”
Anya looked at me and she stood up from sitting on the floor.
”Welcome back, Stepfather, I am good and I am so grateful that I was allowed to live here with you. There are many things that I have not experienced back in the Phantasmal World. I prefer to live here where things are peaceful.”
”Eh, you can just call me brother instead of Stepfather. Even though I became your new parent after your father died, it's not really that good to be called as stepfather by you since I am not yet a dad. Also, since you are a dragon, you must be much older than- GUH!!” I was just talking when Anya kicked me on the balls and I saw stars swirling around my vision.
”I prefer that you don't call me old. Although I lived for long, I am still a child. So please be mindful of that, BROTHER~”
...
After recovering from the pain, I saw Anya already yawning. Looking at the time, it is almost nighttime which means she needs to rest.
”Go to bed now Anya, its getting late,” I pat her head and led her to her bedroom.
”Okay, brother. Good night.”
I tucked her into the bed in her room. Before she goes to sleep, I asked her for the whereabouts of my bag.
