After fourth mother and Yue Bing's departure
Yue Yang looks at his retainer,Saeko who is smiling towards the carriage visible near the horizon.
"should we start?"
responding to him she smiles at him.
This time however it is not the sweet smile she used towards the two,it is a sadistic one
"yes, let's begin"
seeing her smile a chill runs down his spine
---time skip:1 year---
Like everyday, after waking up,Yue Yang picks his sword and heads towards the courtyard.
That is a place where the servants refuse to go to since a year ago.The cause of that is quite simple
"Aaaah!"
You see they don't wish to go there in order to not witness child abuse.In fact everyday it's possible to hear the shouts of a child throughout the residence.The servants have began to call their third young master a masochist because of the fact that he doesn't refuse the "training" which seems more like intense torture.
Every time he rushes at her she will push him back.During the last year the time he could stand against her increased exponentially to the point of not hearing a scream for at least half an hour
"it has almost been a year,hasn't it Saeko?"
"actually,I believe a little more than a year has passed,master"
"I see"
With that in mind they continued to train until the sun has set and the moon was visible in the sky.
Morning,a new day has began and just like always the light illuminates the room.Yue Yang slowly opens his eyes and stretches like a lazy cat.He then sits up and warms his sleepy body.
The sliding door is opened and Saeko enters the room.Saeko narrows her eyes, smiles and says:
"good morning, master,breakfast is ready"
"good morning Saeko"
Yue Yang stands up and walks towards the dining room with Saeko by his side.He cannot help but notice that since her summoning Saeko looks more beautiful and has grown closer to himself.
He doesn't really know why but he doesn't dislike it.
After eating,Yue Yang speaks
"Saeko,fourth mother should be coming back today,,right?"
"yes,master"
"Well I guess we should go to welcome them"
---Yue residence,third branch, entrance---
A familiar carriage is visible in the horizon
and it's coming towards the two.
When it's in front of them the door is opened and a figure walks out of it.The figure holds a child
"welcome back, fourth mother"
"yes,I am back san-er"
Then Yue Yang explains to her
"fourth mother,I used the money you lent me to buy a spitting thorny flower,was it alright?"
"yes, it's fine"
He then takes notice of the child in her arms
"mother,who is she?"
"she is Yue Shuang, your new little sister"
'As I thought,she really is Yue Shuang but she shouldn't be this old,I mean fourth mother was not pregnant when she departed so,is she adopted?she has not even a year'
'Whatever,I guess I will find out in due time'
