Last time, Mitsushige visited Gray and Maia. It's lunchtime. Maia replied. Mitsushige grabbed Maia's waist. Get off Mitsushige, I'm hungry. Maia replied. Your cooking? Mitsushige asked. Yes. What do you have in mind? Maia asked. Anything you make. It's good for me. Mitsushige replied. Flattering words. What do you want because I'm making Grilled Cheese with chicken? Maia replied. That sounds good. Mitsushige replied. I enjoy adding veggies to mine. Maia replied. Veggies are nasty. Mitsushige replied. You and Gray have the same hatred for veggies. Maia replied. Meat is essential. Mitsushige replied. I'll make yours with no veggies. Happy your highness? Maia asked. Very. Mitsushige replied. Maia takes the marinaded chicken out of the fridge. She cooks the chicken. Mitsushige wraps his arms around Maia. Why are you being so uneasy? Maia asked. What do you mean? Mitsushige asked. You can lie to others, but not to me. Maia replied. Kinuyo is my worry. She has been looking for you for all this time. If I get caught, you two could get killed. Mitsushige replied. We are not going anywhere, Mitsushige. You know this visit made him happy. Maia replied. I wish I could have visited more during his childhood. He is almost a man. Mitsushige replied. I know. Maia replied. The last time I touched him, he was when he was a baby. He wrapped his little hand around my finger. Mitsushige replied. He cries. Let's not get emotional over our lunch. Sit at the table. Maia replied. He walked to the table and sat in the chair. She walked with two sandwiches. They sat down and ate. Mitsushige looks. What are you looking at? Maia asked. That old couple. How long have they been living across from you? Mitsushige asked. If I think about it. Since I moved in after Gray was born. Maia replied. I want you to contact them. Mitsushige replied. They helped me move in. Maia replied. Those two are the empress's loyal servants. Wait, they are cahoots with her. Maia replied. Yes, I came here to confirm that. Mitsushige replied. Don't worry, I came to see you two as well. It pains me thinking. I made you a single mother. Mitsushige replied. Listen to me. I want you to explain things to Gray. Maia replied. I will be old enough to know. Mitsushige replied. That afternoon, Gray came back with several bags. Why did you buy this much? Maia replied. I did get the ingredients for dinner. I stopped to get some snacks for myself. Gray replied. Maia sighs. One of you get the olive oil, parsley, red pepper flakes from the shelf. Maia replied. Gray sighs. It sounds like someone doesn't want dinner. I can gladly give it to your father. You can make your own food. He gets it down. Mitsushige go into the refrigerator and take the plate with the bag of meat. Put it on counter. She being bossy. Mitsushige mumbled. Maia turned her around. What was that? It sounds like I will be eating all this by myself. Maia replied. No, no don't take it that way. Mitsushige replied. I'm going to sit down. Gray replied. Well I knew she will be in a mood. So I planned accordingly. Buying her favorite Butter Pecan ice cream brand in advance. Gray replied. Food is ready. Come and get it. Maia replied. It smells amazing. Mitsushige replied. The three ate many plates. I'm so stuffed. Gray replied. I never thought I would hear that from your lips. I will have to agree. Mitsushige replied. I made too much to give the rest to Kiyohide, Mitsushige. You heard me, right? Maia asked. Yeah yeah. Mitsushige replied. Good. I'm making a dozen Bear claws for Kiyohide. Maia replied. Making request getting more food than asked. Mitsushige replied. Stop pouting. You have something to tell Gray, right? Maia asked. Your right. Mitsushige replied. What do you have to tell me? Gray it's about my absence in your childhood. Mitsushige replied. Go to Gray's room. Maia replied. When they reached his room he sat Gray down. You probably heard the story of the Lunar Emperor and his human lover. Mitsushige replied. My mom has told me that story before. Gray replied. Well that story is about my relationship of your mom and I. Mitsushige replied. Wait, what? Gray asked. He is surprised. Yes, the reason why I was not present was to keep the empress from finding you two. Mitsushige replied. It sounds like you have no romantic feelings for her. Gray replied. That's because I do not. She persuaded my father, your grandfather a marriage to stop the rumors. Mitsushige replied. Dad, the story said you have sons with her. Gray replied. I do. You have three half-brothers. Mitsushige replied. The story said, the emperor had no desire giving them anything. His first born child will inherit his father's wealth. Gray replied. So I have a sole inheritance? Gray asked. To be more exact, I made an agreement with your mother. When you turn eighteen, you will inherit a portion of my wealth. Mitsushige replied. I turn eighteen in September. Gray replied. I might not have been physically present in your childhood. Gray, I used my magic to spend time with you in your dreams. Mitsushige replied. Wait your that man? Gray asked. I was present during your birth. Mitsushige replied. My mom said my name was supposed to be Superbian. It was supposed to be Haiiro. Mitsushige replied. My mom said my name is the translated. Gray replied. Haiiro means gray. I just didn't want you to have my last name. At least something from me. Mitsushige replied. Even though you may have your mother's attitude. Mitsushige replied. My mom says I have your looks and loyalty. Gray replied. Those looks will attract trouble. That's why I'm sending "her" here after I leave. Mitsushige replied. Who is "her"? Gray asked. Let just say, a loyal retainer of mine. She is an introvert. I want her to meet new people. When she comes, I will introduce her to you and your mother. Mitsushige replied. So you wanted to keep my mom and I safe. Instead of being physically around, you met me in my dreams. Gray replied. I always thought you would hate me. Mitsushige replied. I like to give people the benefit of the doubt. Gray replied. Your good person, Gray. Never change that quality. He pats his soon on the head. Gray beings to cry. Maia leans on Gray's wall. Now about that girl, is it Kiyohide's little sister? That one? Maia asked. Maybe? Mitsushige replied. I don't like that answer. Maia replied.
