After Tetsuya able to calm down her mother who is crying, he then does all of his daily activities such as Spent time playing with Shirou, do all of his activities in the 'White Room', preparing dinner with his mother, and then sleep after brush his teeth.

After he wakes up in the morning, he then goes to the training room and practices the "Muramasa Sword Art Technique". After he finished doing all the practices, he then gets ready to go out to the Shrine to play with Akeno. But when he is about to head out suddenly his mother held his wrist.

"Where are you going?" Asked her mother while looking at her son with suspicious eyes.

"I Just about to go and play with Akeno in her house." Said Tetsuya while looking at her mother with a sweatdrop on his face.

"Wait I'm coming with you." Said her mother who is already on her casual clothes.

"Who is going to take care of Akina while you are gone then?" Asked Tetsuya while looking at her mother.

"Don't worry about that, I already asked your dad to take care of Akina while I'm gone." Said Anna with a smile on her face while looking at Tetsuya.

Tetsuya can only let his mother follow him since he knows her feelings the most after saw her crying yesterday.

After Tetsuya and Anna reach the shrine, They spotted Shuri sweeping around near the shrine. When Shuri saw me, she is about to greet me, but when she sees Anna who is beside me, Shuri froze on the spot, while looking at Anna with widen eyes.

"Is that you... An..."

Before Shuri finished her word, Anna runs toward Shuri with full speed and jumps at Shuri while hugging Shuri like Koala.

"WHY...WHY ARE YOU DISAPPEARING ALL OF A SUDDEN WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING TO MEE!!" Shout Anna while crying out loud while hugging Shuri.

Shuri who was hugged by Anna suddenly feels some tears flowing from her eyes.

"I... I don't want to make you worry..." Said Shuri while tears flow on her cheeks.

"IDIOT DO YOU THINK DISAPPEARING ALL OF THE SUDDEN, DOESN'T MAKE ME EVEN WORRY... IDIOT... YOU IDIOT!!" Said Anna while crying.

"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry." Said Shuri while crying.

Both of them cry while hugging each other, Tetsuya who saw this scene could only smile slightly. Soon they started to calm down.

"So that's mean Tetsuya is..."

Shuri who look at Tetsuya and is about to ask Anna about Tetsuya suddenly got a reply from Anna.

"Yes, Tetsuya is my son." Said Anna with a smile and closed eyes.

Shuri who heard Anna is shocked beyond belief since she didn't expect that her friend's son is Tetsuya that the one who meets her yesterday. Tetsuya who saw Shuri expression could only smile wryly.

After the three of them then enter the shrine, In the inside of the shrine, there is a girl who is playing with her toy.

{A/N: Not the whip one ok, since that toy has been confiscated by someone.}

When the girl sees Tetsuya, the girl then runs full speed toward Tetsuya and then hugs him and that causes Tetsuya to fall down to the tatami floor while the girl is hugging him. Yes, the girl identity is Akeno who already missed him from yesterday, and been bugging her mother about Tetsuya all day long from yesterday.

"You really come!! yay, let's play." Said Akeno while hugging Tetsuya with a happy expression.

Tetsuya who was hug by Akeno could only surrender to the warmth of Akeno hug that makes his face blush.

Both mothers who saw this could only smile when they saw this cute scene.

"Ara ara it's looks like someone so impatient." Said Shuri with a smile on her face while looking at Akeno who is hugging Tetsuya.

"Fu fu fu, so this is Akeno-chan the one who you told me, that you become friends with, It looks like that I will have a daughter-in-law in the future." Said Anna while chuckle.

Akeno who saw a person beside her mother then asks her mother a question.

"Mommy who is the person beside you?" Asked Akeno with a tilted head.

"Oh, she is Tetsuya Mother and also mommy's friend, why don't you introduce yourself." Said Shuri with a smile on her face.

Akeno then release her hug at Tetsuya and nodded at her mother, She then shyly come in front of Anna and introduce herself to her.

"M-My name is Ak-Akeno, Ni-nice to me-meet you." Said Akeno shyly while stuttered when she introduced herself.

"Kyaaaaa!! So cute!" Said Anna while shouting with a creepy face and closed eyes.

Tetsuya who saw this could only have a deadpan expression while looking at her mother's action, and Akeno who has been hug by Anna was blushing.

Shuri who saw Anna hugging Akeno like a predator who wants to capture their prey, put to stop by pulling Anna away.

"What are you doing Shuri!! don't disturb me while I was having fun!!" Said Anna who still hungry for more hugs.

"Akeno could you take Tetsuya to the backyard and play in there, I and Tetsuya mother want to talk with each other." Said Shuri with a wryly smile while looking at Akeno and Tetsuya.

Akeno who is still blushing could only nod and go towards the shrine backyard while pulling Tetsuya's hand. Tetsuya who is pulled by Akeno is curios at the conversation between Shuri and her Mother but decides to let it go since he didn't want to bother his mother while talking to Shuri and didn't want to invade her privacy since it was so rude to hear eavesdropping someone else, except if he really finds someone suspicious or someone interesting then he will go further beyond eavesdropping to learn what the person has to offer, but right now he didn't want to bother her mother talks since her mother hasn't meet Shuri for 6 years.

After both Tetsuya and Akeno go to the backyard, Anna and Shuri then sit near the table.

"Well, it has been a long time since we met." Said Shuri while looking at Anna with wryly smile.

"Well, who's fault is that?" Said Anna while folding her hands in front of her c.h.e.s.t with a sulking expression and a puff cheeks while looking away from Shuri.

"Well don't be mad ok, I didn't have much choice back then." Said Shuri with a tiring expression while sighing.

"What do you mean you don't have much choice?" Asked Anna while looking at Shuri with widening eyes.

"Well let me ask you if a friend of yours is exiled by their family, what will you do?" Asked Shuri while looking at Anna with a deadpan expression.

"Isn't it obvious, just destroy the whole family except for my friend." Said Anna while looking at Shuri with a smile on her face.

"See, that's why I don't want to tell you that I got exiled from my own family." Said Shuri while sighing.

"Wait you got Exiled from your own family?!" Asked Anna with a shock expression on her face.

"Didn't I just asked you a question related to exile, it's that hard for you to be able to guess that the exiled person is me?" Said Shuri while having a deadpan expression.

"Oh, so that is what the question was about." Said Anna who once again had a shocked expression on her face.

Shuri who heard then facepalm on her face.

"Well, it looks like there are so many people who will enter on my blacklist today, Shuri takes care of Tetsuya while I'm gone. I'm going to massacre some pigs in a cage so they can go to where they truly belong..." Said Anna while having an evil smile on her face.

"NO DON'T DO THAT ANNA!!" Shouted Shuri while having a panic.

Tetsuya and Akeno who is playing around the backyard heard a shouted from the shrine. When they see Shuri was holding Anna from being berserk. Tetsuya wondered what has caused her mother to go berserk, and he only got one explanation when he looked at Shuri's panic expression.

'It seems to be related to Shuri who is being exiled from the Himejima family' thinks Tetsuya while remembered some events that related to Shuri in High School DxD.

Akeno who is worried about what happened inside the shrine is about to go inside but was stopped by Tetsuya.

"Don't worry about it, they are probably joking around, let's continue playing." Said Tetsuya with a wryly smile while looking at Akeno.

Akeno who heard Tetsuya, still worried about the situation inside the shrine, but decided to trust Tetsuya's statement and continue playing with him.

After 5 minutes have passed, Anna decides to calm and that makes Shuri relief.

"Why do you still want to protect your family?" Asked Anna while pouting.

"I don't want you to massacre all of my family members, even though they are the one who exiled me, but they are still my family member." Said Shuri with a tired expression on her face.

"Oh, I forgot to ask the most important question, Why are you exiled?" Asked Anna while looking at Shuri.

"Oh that... well, because I got married to..."

Before Shuri is able to finish her sentence, Anna said something to Shuri.

"Let me guess, you got married to Baraqiel." Said Anna while chuckling.

Shuri who heard Anna go blushing then nodded.

"Well it's so obvious when We are still in Highschool you are always taking care of him when he gets injured, and by the time he gets well both of you already fell in love with each other." Said Anna while looking at Shuri with a deadpan expression.

But when Anna finishes her sentence, her expression turns darker, and continue her sentence.

"And that is why the Himejima family will cease to exist since they don't support your marriage." Said Anna with a dark smile on her face.

"Wait, wait, wait don't do that. Truly because of them I got exiled, but even so, I don't regret the fact that I got exiled and because of that I got to live peacefully in here with my husband and my daughter. And also there is someone that is also supported with my own decision and has a kind heart in the family like my Niece Suzaku." Said Shuri while looking at Anna.

{A/N: Himejima Suzaku slashdog.fandom.com/wiki/Suzaku_Himejima}

"Oh Suzaku, it has been a long time since I see her, how was she?" Asked Anna with a happy expression.

"She is doing great, and that is why you must stop with the massacre thing since I don't want my family to be the next victim of your massacre." Said Shuri with a tired expression while looking at Anna.

Anna who heard this could only smile wryly and feel guilty since she almost forgot that Suzaku is part of the Himejima family that she is going to slaughter.

To Anna, she considered Suzaku as a little sister who she felt close when she was still young.

When Anna and Shuri were about to continue their conversation, Suddenly the front door of the shrine was opened.
