Carla&Kazuha: . . .

Kino: Um, what’s going on?

Elle: Mystic’s gettin’ scolded.

Kino: What is it this time?

Elle: The kid got into a fight with a witch in the middle of a job and both Kazu-chan and Carla had to step in to keep the shit from hittin’ the fan.

Kino: Huh…

Mystic: [Arms crossed.] That bitch shouldn’t had said shit ‘bout aunty and Kaz, then.

Kazuha: It doesn’t matter, Mystic. The witches might resent my mother for leaving them for the Tsukinami and might abhor me for being the product of that elopement, but they’re still important allies.

Carla: . . .

Elle: . . .

Kino: Pff—

Carla: Anyways…

Kazuha is right. You should know better than to let some words get to you.

Mystic: [Trying to contain his laughter.] Ye—yes, sir.

DJ loves her two gremlins and just watches them cause chaos, secretly praying nothing too bad happens.

While Carla and Kazuha are just fucking tired of their wife/mom going feral every half-hour.

Elle: You what!?

Carla: Kazuha—

Kazuha: . . .

Taro: [Smiles.] There isn’t a day they aren’t asking about your well-being.

Mystic: Have you gone down to visit the florist at Crooked Street for me?

Taro: The one lady who helped you make a bouquet for your mother when you were younger? Why, of course I have. She also asks me about you every time I came by.

I’m glad I could visit you at the Banmaden this time around. Now I can actually give the others a proper answer.

Shin: . . .

Taro: DJ, dear. When will come back to the kingdom to visit? Everyone has been acting a bit agitated for a while.

DJ: [Smiles.] I’ll do my best to visit as often as I can.

Shin: . . .

Elle: [Smirks and whispers.] Well, someone’s drinkin’ vinegar…

Carla: Elle.

Elle: Fufufu.

Kazuha: [Sighs.] . . .

Mystic.

Mystic: Ah, yeah?

Kazuha: What were you telling me last night? About what you did last night?

Mystic: [Brightens up.] Ohh! Dad, dad, listen! You gotta know what happened—um, well—with dad!

Shin: [Perks up.]

Mystic: He showed me these amazing moves and sword techniques, and even helped me practice it.

Taro: Really now? I’m glad he could teach you things like that. I’m terrible with the sword.

Kino: You are?

Taro: Haha… yes. DJ was impressive at it, but I never got the hang of it.

Mystic: Dad is amazing at it! He spars with mom all the time and it’s just incredible!

Shin: [Grinning from ear to ear like an idiot.]

Elle: [To Kazuha.] Wow, you fixed the atmosphere.

Elle: [Gazing at Carla in awe.]

Mystic: . . . ?

[I glance between Uncle Carla and aunty. A mischievous grin slowly spreads on my face as I realize what’s going on.]

(Oh! Fufufu…)

Uncle Carla, aunty wants your attention!

[Aunty snaps out of it and turns around to look at me, blushing madly.]

Elle: You little shi—!

Carla: . . . ?

Elle: . . . !

Mystic: [Uncle Carla looks up from his paperwork and stares at her. She freezes and quickly drives her eyes away.]

Carla: Elle?

Elle: It’s nothin’!

[Whispering.] I’ll end your puny little life, ya fuckin’ brat!

Mystic: Heheh—!

Danny: Come on… it couldn’t have been that bad.

Carla: . . .

Shin: . . .

Elle: You see—

DJ: [Nervous laughter.]

Kazuha: . . . You better not.

Kino: I had lots of fun! I don’t know what everyone else is talking about.

Mystic: [Points at him.] Terrible! You’re truly terrible, sir!
