"Lixue?" Shuji asked the bodyguard he met in the living room.
"Sir, she's in the underground." the bodyguard replied to Shuji.
Shuji sat on the sofa thinking about what he found out about Lixue's true personality. Shuji remembered that Lixue mentioned to him that his father knew the truth and he took the cellphone from his pocket and dialed his father's cellphone number.
Calling...
Papa (Raiden): You got called, son? How is your exercise with Leatrice?
Shuji: Watashi wa shinjitsu o shitte imasu, Papa, kanojo wa honmyo no reatorisude wa arimasendeshitashi, kanojo wa futsu no joseide wa arimasendeshita.
(I know the truth, Papa she was not Leatrice her real name and she was not an ordinary woman.)
Papa (Raiden): Did she confess to you?
Shuji: Yes, in the wrong circumstances, Papa.
Papa (Raiden): Doshite ko narimashita?!
(How did that happen?!)
Shuji: Watashitachiha shashin satsuei-chu ni kanojo no tsubasa ga dete kite odoroita nodesuga, karera wa rikusu ga mahoda to omottanode, watashi wa kanojo no ato o otte rizoto-nai ni modorimashitaga, kanojo no bodigado ga kanojo ga bichi ni iru to ii, kanojo ga tsubasa no ushiro ni kiete iku no o mimashita.
(We were in a photoshoot when her wings came out surprised but they thought Lixue was magic, I followed her back inside the resort but her bodyguard told me she was on the beach and I saw her disappear behind her back her wings.)
Papa (Raiden): Sonogo?
(And then?)
Shuji: Kanojo wa watashi ni uso o tsuite imasenshi, jibun no shotai o mitomemashitaga, darenimo iwanaide kudasai to ii, anata wa sore o shitte iru to iimashita.
(She is not lying to me and she admitted her true identity but she told me not to tell anyone and she said you know it.)
Papa (Raiden): Hai, watashi wa kanojo no hahaoya to imoto ga kako 10-nenkan akuma to tatakatta tame ni shinda koto o yoku shitte imasu.
(Yes, I know well that her mother and sister died because they fought the evil demons for the past decade.)
Shuji: Soshite, race of subete ga okottanode, kanojo wa kawarimashita ka?
(And everything happened to them, so did she change?)
Papa (Raiden): Yes, her heart has become hard and she doesn't trust immediately other than what she used to.
Shuji: She trusts me.
Papa (Raiden): Yes.
Shuji: Something told me that I don't know what it means.
Papa (Raiden): What did she tell you?
Shuji: Our father said that I was chosen to be chosen in the prophecy.
Dad (Raiden): ....
Shuji: Dad?
Papa (Raiden): She chose you but you will still decide your life, son, she means about your future, I just can't explain to you if your career is work or about love.
Shuji: ....
Papa (Raiden): Son, the trust she gave you for life, don't break it because if you break it, she'll be angry and everything has a price.
Shuji: Papa...
Papa (Raiden): She will help you to get away from your stalker Aiya not in exchange for us helping her now but she will do it for our family.
Shuji: She's been teaching me martial arts, it's hard at first because with her help I'm getting better.
Papa (Raiden): Because you trust her and know you're safe by her side.
Shuji: Just trust...not with my heart because I know I'll hurt someone if my heartbeat changes.
Shuji's father didn't answer he held her in his heart when his girlfriend came to mind. Shuji pressed the end call and got up to go to the kitchen. He mixes two cups of coffee that he puts in two cups with a spoon.
"Just a friend, don't let my feelings for her get bigger," Shuji whispered to himself and pressed a hallow block stuck to the wall and it opened into an elevator.
When Shuji got to the underground he found Lixue holding a sword.
Shuji just stared as he saw Lixue's face in seriousness. Shuji placed his tray on top of the drawer and saw various weapons in place as a drawer opened.
"L–ixue, good morning she told me you were here, I brought you something to drink." Shuji's approach to Lixue.
Lixue paused and lowered her sword. Shuji holds the sword and he sees the steel blade.
"You want to learn to use a sword other than a gun?" Lixue asked Shuji.
"Can it be both?" Shuji asked as he dropped the sword next to Lixue.
"I'll test you first in self-defense you'll fight me and one of us, you can beat that means you're on to the next level of practice," Lixue said she pressed a monitor and Shuji spoke quietly.
They went back to the first practice with Shuji imitating every move of Lixue who was exercising alone on the standing wooden dummy. Shuji even saw a man in the picture with a martial arts style.
"Who is he?" Shuji asked Lixue and pointed to a picture.
"Uncle Lei, dad's cousin and he is a pure angel, the two of them used to teach us together with your Papa," Lixue said when she looked at what Shuji taught.
"Your daddy's cousin? And he teaches you with Papa, how did the three of them meet?" Shuji asked Lixue.
"That's why I don't know how they became friends especially since dad and Uncle Lei are not human," Lixue replied to Shuji.
A bodyguard arrived and Shuji's practice began, he was fighting with the bodyguard.
"Don't think that your opponent is a woman, Shuji, think of them as your stalker's spy," Lixue said to Shuji.
Lixue smiles but she also feels worried about Shuji having a wound all over his body.
"Times up! Tomorrow again." Lixue said and blocked the two who were fighting.
Lixue's bodyguard nodded before turning to leave the room.
"Come! Let's go to your room and I'll treat your wound." Lixue approached and grabbed Shuji's hand who was speechless due to shock.
Shuji was shocked when Lixue interrupted to stop the fight. Shuji was also shocked when he held Lixue in his arms and felt electric as though he was holding his girlfriend's hand.
"T–this can't be–" Shuji shook his head as he let Lixue hold him by the hand.
When they got back upstairs they walked into Shuji's room. Shuji opened the door when Lixue looked at him. When the two of them entered the room, Shuji sat on the couch and winced as he felt pain all over his body.
"Take off what you're wearing, I'll just get a first aid kit from inside your bathroom," Lixue said, she immediately turned around and entered the bathroom.
Shuji kept quiet and slowly got up and reached for his bed blanket before he undid his shirt.
"If you are intimidated, don't look at me," Lixue said to Shuji staring at him.
Lixue took the cotton and put betadine on it. Before Lixue was stabbed in Shuji's wound and smeared.
"Ouch! That hurts..." Shuji said and closed his eyes at the pain he felt.
Lixue blew Shuji's wounds covered his wounds with his palm and wielded power.
Shuji was surprised when Lixue kissed him on the lips. He just stared wide-eyed at Lixue's eyes closed.
"Your wound has healed but I'll still put a bandage on it so they won't notice," Lixue said as she opened her eyes and walked away a little.
"W—you—kissed me? You know I have a girl–friend." Shuji stuttered as he suddenly recovered a little.
"Because–I have to heal immediately so that your wound can heal quickly," Lixue said as she bandaged Shuji's wound.
They both ate after Lixue stabbed Shuji's wound. Until Lixue introduced all the resort employees and managers to Shuji. Shuji is shy because, for the first time in his life, he was introduced to other people.
"When you pursue your law course I will recommend you to my dad," Lixue said to Shuji.
Shuji didn't answer because he didn't know what Lixue meant to him. Lixue left Shuji in the middle of the pool where many guests, and tourists were bathing. Shuji looked around before he returned to the resort and went to the restricted area where there was a path leading to the mansion.
Shuji didn't know how he would feel when Lixue kissed him and how his mind would react because he knew it was wrong.
