Do you want grandchildren?

after defeating the skeleton Hikaru asks Aki

" Now what, we managed to defeat the skeleton. I also fulfilled my part of the deal, but why are you still here? I thought you would disappear once I fulfilled your wish, but you are still floating in front of my eyes."

Aki smiles and sleeps in air while floating

"aaaa... finally i can rest , thank you Hiakru. For why I have not disappeared I don't know, will you have any problem with a soul that gets to live in a world in which it originally belonged. Don't be so harsh toward a poor soul"

Hikaru gets confused and asks " where did that cold and cool Aki go? were you trying to put a mask before us,you sound more energetic and talkative now”

Aki makes a pose like hanging hand from bed in air and says

" I need to put on a mask because I didn't know what type of person you were. I need to make you feel like i was a higher superior being or else you would have taken me lightly"

The old lady interrupts them and asks hikaru "was it really aki and sana who sent you?"

Hikaru answers " I know Aki and if it's the half beast you are talking about then yes."

The old lady smiles with tears in her eyes and says " i am glad they were able to do it"

Yuki and Hikaru both start to get curious with what happened with Aki and the half beast Sana.yuki holds the hand of the old lady while she was crying and says

"It's all right now, you can calm down."

After crying tears of relief the old lady calms down. Hikaru stands and asks the old lady to get under the tree shade. Hikaru carried his sister to the tree, and the old lady also followed them. They sit under the tree shade then Yuki asks

"Can you please fill in the details of what was happening, we still don't know anything like why was someone after you and for what reason aki and sana were sacrificed? Ah..... what's your name Grandma?

The old lady chuckles and says

"It's fine I don't mind if you call me Grandma rather it's pleasure my ears"

Yuki smiles and says "ok Grandma "

Then Grandma starts answering the other question while telling full story of what's happening from the start

"So to explain what's happening first let me tell you who I am to Aki and Sana and about this world which you are unfamiliar with.

As you have seen, this world is very different from your original world. There are half beasts, a different system by which a country is ruled, a different language from your world."

Hikru tries to ask another question which the Grandma knows what is it about and answers

"Yes. You are able to understand this language by the help of that summoning"

The Grandma continued

Aki and Sana were raised under her care so she has known them for a long time. One day some people came to their house and told them that the three of them were invited to live in a mansion by someone.

She became cautious of them and refused them. After a few days they came again with a letter, asking Her to come and live in a mansion to research new spells and mana behavior, mentioning at the end of note 'your name suggested by Gildius'.

Gilidius was a friend of that grandma. They studied in the same academy and also worked on the same projects. They both were interested in this world history, the animals and beast present here , the way someone can use and store mana that they always exchanged their thoughts and worked together.

so by seeing his name grandma put her guard down a little and trusted them. Grandma asked if Sara and Aki could also come and live with me in the mansion, they said that they were told to respect her requests and allowed them also.

They packed their stuff and went to the mansion with them. Grandma was introduced to Nefrim, the one who invited them. He told them what work the grandma has to do and in exchange he took proper arrangements for Aki and Sana studies and healthy upbringing.

The first few years things didn't seem any strange. Everyone there treated them well. She was in charge of finding an ancient spell that shows the future or more like a slight glimpse of it. When she managed to successfully find it, She told Nefrim about the conditions and effects of the spell.

To use the spell they would need a great amount of mana and that's when he started preparing for it, he built a whole village for its sake and sacrificed it. He was greedy but also smart and cautious so he used a small village, Sana and Aki found out about it so they informed the grandma.

They were also grown up by that time, so they also went with her to stop Nefrim, but he was prepared. He set his people to stop them.

while she was fighting with them, Sana and Aki ran past them and reached to the village, and tried to take them out of the village , but they were late He already started enchanting the spell , so Grandma used a another spell she found out about in a cave while searching ancient caves and that's how they ended up summoning Hikaru and Yuki in this world.

The grandma was on a run so that she couldn't be font out by Nefrim. She used up all of my mana and suffered from injuries while fighting his people, that's why He sent that skeleton to kill her. He thought it would be enough for me after all that damage but luckily she was saved.

Hikaru raises a questions

"So that means Sana and aki are not dead right? Grandma, did you see their dead bodies?"

Grandma replies " I didn't say they were dead."

Sana and Aki wide open their mouths and yells "what ?"

Although they can't hear and see Sana, Yuki and Hikaru imagined her having the same expression as Aki.

Yuki asks "but Grandma you said 'sacrificed' right?"

Grandma laughs and says "what kind of mother kills their own child? There was no mention in the cave that the person it is being used on will be dead. I hide their bodies somewhere so they can't be seen by Nefrim and his followers. I am trying to find a way to get them back in their bodies back so tell them to be prepared to get scolded by me again"

Hikaru and Yuki looked towards Aki, his face had the biggest smile.

Hikaru: my image of him is starting to change, where did that handsome, cool and serious looking man go?

Yuki chuckles

Hikaru stands up, stretches under the shade of a tree and then says

"Then I think our task here is done, Grandma is going to find a way to get Sara and Aki back. Yuki and I should also start going now. Ah.... grandma can you make a wheel chair for Yuki form your magic please?"

Grandma nods then uses her hand to make a wheel chair from stones and metals and wood and bones of the defeated skeleton from surroundings.

"This wheel chair will also help in protecting yuki while she is sitting on it."

Hikaru help yuki sit on the wheel chair and says

"Well then good luck to you Grandma don't get back pain while working, see you later…. Wait............. We don't have a home to go back to."

Yuki knew it was coming and she laughed hard, so did Aki, Sana and Grandma.

Grandma says

"You should go in that direction "she points her finger in a direction

"There is a village there. I will give you some money to find a place to stay there. Sorry but I don't have any space where I am hiding now and it's better if you don't come with me while there are people searching for me with killing intent, you don't have to worry about me I can at least protect myself. "

Hikaru replies

" No need to be sorry. It was a great help that because of you I was able to cure my sister's disease even if it was by luck i found a way to help her because of your magic. So then let's meet again if we get chance to and don't hesitate to call me if you need any help Grandma "

He goes in the direction pointed by Grandma. Aki and Sana follow them in the air. Hikaru looks towards Aki and says "why are you coming with us?"

Aki replies " Me and Sana can't go too far away from you guys we need to stick with one of you"

Hikaru faces forward and says " it can't be helped then"

While they head towards the village Yuki raises a question "Aki do you know what he, Nefrim saw in the future?"

Aki replies"what made you curious? Well I wasn't able to see that nor did Sana"

Yuki replied "I was just thinking what made him want to look in the future? What will he get by doing it, was he trying to look at what he will become in future or was he trying to find out about something. Couldn't he just be satisfied with what he had and live like a normal person?"

Hikaru says to Yuki

"You still don't know how crazy a person can become to achieve something or to stand above everyone else in a society. Maybe he wanted something like a girl, money , respect, to control everyone or something like that. You also longed for being healthy right.We can't do anything about him. We are completely strangers in this new world. No one will listen to us even if we tell them about his evil works. Even if we spread words about that incident people who also want to see future will try to do the same by force or by fooling them, it will just fan the flames"

“ya.. I also understand that a desire can drive people crazy sometimes. But it's not necessary that all the people will want to sacrifice someone to see a future for a few seconds.

Hikaru laughs at his sister innocence and says

"Look like our mind also become 17 year old , you are talking like you used to.Its true that not all people will do something like that but you know the world we lived in and the world where are we now many people put on a mask, when people around them are laughing they put on laughing mask , when they are crying they put on crying masks, hiding their true selves

human or any other being with intelligence whether its alien or other creature will do the same thing. A world where everyone have a smiling face but we don't know what is in his hands in the back"

They reached the village.The village covered a somewhat large area but it was not heavily populated. Hikaru and yuki go through the villages, seeing all the people chatting with each other with a smile which was not like a forced one, the small boys playing with swords while the little girls picking flowers, while some people harvesting crops hikaru and yuki's heart felt warm.

Hikaru stops and then asks himself "Now whom should we ask for a house on rent or live with them?"

Yuki sees an old couple a little far walking on the path. Yuki asks hikaru to take her towards them. Hikaru without any questions does it.

When they were a little closer to them, Yuki heard them talking about how old age was affecting their daily life and how nice it would have been to have a son or grandson to rely on.

The old couple see them coming towards them, they smile and ask " I have never seen you around here, maybe you are from outside of the village.Do you want any help?"

Yuki smiles and asks

"Do you want grandchilds"
