Xena tightly held onto my hand, her other hand clutching Lily's. We were walking through Tokyo, showing her around.

"This is a corner-store." I stated. "They have multiple things that one might need. This is close to Lily and Erica's apartment building."

"Apartment building?" Xena asked curiously, looking at Lily.

"I live in an apartment building." Lily stated. "Unlike Ken who lives with Irene in her Mansion."

"Why?" Xena asked.

"Because..." Lily struggled to find an answer. "Because I haven't been invited...?"

"That's not fair!" Xena pouted.

"It's alright." I smiled. "We can always ask Irene, Iris, and Isabella later. I'm pretty sure they would be fine with it. Do you want to go see Lily's home?"

"Yeah!" Xena happily replied.

We walked over to the Ellie's apartment building which I used to live in with Erica and Lily. It had been a while since I had come here, actually.

We entered the apartment building. Immediately people started to look at us, gazing at the child inbetween us. Especially a group of older women, likely mothers.

"Look at that couple with their...child?" One pointed out.

"They seem really young, especially for a child that old..." One whispered. "But that is a Succubus..."

"Maybe they're her siblings?" One suggested.

"They don't look like siblings, and they are definitely too old. And only one is a Succubus." Another one stated. "I think adoption."

"Really? I wonder what happened?" One sighed.

One of them took a deep breath, before walking towards us. Lily seemed slightly surprised that one of them was approaching us while Xena looked at her curiously.

Lily took her own breath, preparing herself for whatever the mother was going to say. She probably thought the mother was going to belittle her, due to the child and her race as a Succubus.

"Hello." The woman greeted. "My name is Naomi Suzuki. I live in room 107, and if you ever need help with parenting you can come by. I'm a mother of four, so I can always give you tips."

"Oh, wow....thank you." Lily gasped, surprised.

"It's no problem." Naomi smiled. "You seem really young, so I thought that if I could possibly help I could relieve some worries."

"I...I really appreciate it." Lily nodded. "I'll definitely stop by."

"Good." She smiled, before looking towards me. "You better take responsibility."

So she thinks we're at that stage...

"Okay." I replied.

"Ken?!" Lily gasped, her face going red.

"Oh, how nice to see young people in love." She giggled, making Lily become even redder. "Good luck, you two."

"A-a-a-h..." Lily stuttered as Naomi walked away.

Xena pulled on my pants leg. "Are you two in love?" She asked, tilting her head.

"We are." I told her, making Lily's whole face go red like a tomato.

"But what about that elf woman?" She asked, confused.

"It's...complicated." I replied. "And not normal. I'll explain it later, okay?"

"Okay." She nodded.

We walked up the stairs, heading up to the floor where Lily and Erica's rooms sat. We walked over to Lily's room, entering the place.

"Is that...a picture of me on the wall?" I questioned.

"I-I don't know what you're talking about." Lily replied, pulling off the paper and stuffing it into a drawer.

I don't even remember letting someone that photo. How many of these does she have hidden around here?

Otherwise than the photo of me hung onto the wall, there wasn't anything to note of in Lily's room. It was fairly simple, a bed, a desk, and other normal things you would see in a room. Her room wasn't overly decorated. Actually, the only decoration was that photo of me if you count that as decoration.

Xena still found the room very interesting, walking around looking at everything. Lily shifted uncomfortably during Xena's look-around.

After Xena had her fill of looking around Lily's room, we walked out to become face-to-face with Ellie.

"Ken, it's been a while." She greeted, smiling at us. "How are you?"

"I'm good." I nodded. "You?"

"I've been good." She replied. Her eyes trailed down to the kid behind my legs, looking at her curiously.

Her mouth ran dry as whatever she was going to say next never came out. She looked up at Lily with wide eyes, before looking back at me.

"W-what did you do?" Ellie gasped. "You aren't even married!"

"She's too old. Check again." I deadpanned.

Ellie looked back at Xena, before realizing what I meant. "Oh, I see. Who is she, then?"

I whispered into Ellie's ear. "She was a victim of a forced awakening. I'm going to adopt her."

"That's horrible!" She gasped. "But...you're going to...?"

"Yeah." I nodded. "What do you think?"

"A little early." She stated. "But...I think you are doing a good thing."

"Thanks." I lightly smiled. "We'll see you later. We're going to tour Xena around the city."

"If you ever need help, let me know." Ellie stated.

"Okay." I nodded.

We started to walk back out of the apartment.

"What was that about?" Xena curiously asked.

"She's an old friend." I stated. "Just catching up."

We started to show Xena around the city, going from multiple places like the park and the WcDonalds. I noticed as we went through our area of Tokyo that many places were being rebuilt.

People were walking around outside now, having fun. After everything that happened on "Excalibur Day", people are getting back into things. It was kind of relieving to see.

We survived The Demon King. We did it.

Xena had a lot of questions, her mind absolutely bubbling with them. Lily and I answered them the best that we could. As we were walking my phone suddenly buzzed. I pulled it out, seeing a text from Irene.

Irene: The card is ready.

Irene: When you can, pick it up at the Guild. Let them know I sent you.

Me: Alright, thanks.

Me: How's the adoption thing going?

Irene: I'm ready. All we need is to fill out the papers.

Me: Okay. We'll ask Xena once we come back.

I pocketed my phone, turning to Lily.

"Her card is ready." I stated. "We should go grab it."

"Alright." Lily nodded. "Let's go to the Guild then."

"What are we doing?" Xena asked.

"We're going to get a card so we can find out your cool abilities." I smiled at her. "And also hopefully who you bonded with."

"Okay!" Xena happily replied.

We got onto one of the subway trains after buying tickets. Xena sat in my lap, clutching my shirt as she looked around at the train in curiosity. It looked like she had never been in one before.

She slightly jolted as the subway train started to move, but as I supported her back with my hand, she relaxed once more. Lily sat next to me, trying to discreetly scoot closer and failing at being secret. She can be so incredibly sneaky but at the same time so obvious.

The other people looked at the three of us with smiles. No, actually they were only looking at Xena and I. Glancing at Lily, I realized she had her Presence Concealment ability up as she laid her head on my shoulder.

It didn't work too well against me, I had gotten used to it. Xena also could easily see Lily. But to the others on the train, which most likely didn't have Arcana's, it basically made her invisible.

After riding on the subway train, we exited when we got to the stop in the middle of Tokyo. The Guild building was a large skyscraper set right in the middle, most busy area of Tokyo.

It was a huge skyscraper, and also the headquarters for the Council. It was called the Guild Hall. Despite basically walking into the mouth of the lion, I wasn't worried.

They couldn't risk taking me out now, not at this time of day with how busy it is. They'd then have to explain why they killed a seventeen-years old boy, one which was slightly known for being a freshman in the Tournament.

And while they could definitely do that, it would be a lot more work than waiting for when I was alone. And I doubted any sane assassin which took the mission would attack me in such a populated area.

I'll still keep a look out though. Like I said, any sane assassin wouldn't. And I'm sure there are plenty of not-so-sane assassins in this world.

The Guild Hall has multiple floors open to the public, which consist from bars for adventurers to hang out at, adventurer registering stations, a board of missions and open rifts, etc.

"Well, let's go in." I stated.
