"Mai-Fei, no!" Irvine said, running over to his daughter.
"Ugh... Damn... What is with you people calling me that name... And you, goddess... This is the punishment." Mai-Fei said. "You knew of this... Now I will take my role."
"You will not take my daughter." Irvine said, changing to Seraphim and enveloping the chamber in light.

"I knew this was the punishment, but I made a big mistake! I didn't know YOU would be involved in this, Necrophiliac!" Serenade cried out as she shifted her feet slightly while folding her arms. Before Mai-Fei knew it, she was wrapped in thousands of mana tendrils. They were soon accompanied by cables, courtesy of Ai. "Our daughter isn't ready to go yet so fuck off!"
Tsune quickly backed away, wondering if these people, Mai-Fei's family, would be able calm Mai-Fei down. Was it really Mai-Fei in the end? She didn't know. She just wanted to go home.

"Ugh... It has to involve me... I can't allow some irresponsible girl to ruin my works..." Mai-Fei said.
"The decision wasn't yours to make." Irvine said. "Mom, can you split off the invader?" He asked.

"Yes. By rule, the three gods? Well... two now... Either way, we have authority over ANYTHING, including you, Necrophiliac. This is my only way to repent for what I've done." Serenade then grabbed Mai-Fei and forced her energy inside to throw out the Necromancer.

"I... Why yo-" Suddenly, the spirit was ejected from Mai-Fei's body, the girl shivering and falling to the ground.
"Just stay in that stream where you belong, coward!" Irvine said, charging light mana in his palm.

"Why yo-"
"Bai!" Serenade cried as she suddenly blasted the Necromancer into oblivion. "Hahaha, that was too fun..." She mumbled before folding her arms. She then looked to her granddaughter, sighing. "Man... well, at least when she takes over the underworld... it'll not be the Necromancer himself doing it. I'm sure she can do a better job."
"Yeah, but for now..." Ai then ran over to Mai-Fei. Kneeling down to her, she took the girl into her arms and cradled. "Mai-Fei, are you going to be okay?" She asked. Tsune, on the other hand, stood onto her feet, and seeing that Mai-Fei's family was now for her, she then bolted toward the exit, very worried for her own life. The only thing that was engraved in her mind was the rune that now was plastered onto her chest. She wondered if it would just disappear, but it didn't seem to.

"Tsune..." Mai-Fei said softly before the young girl had the chance to flee entirely. Her eyes appeared to have returned to normal, as did her voice.
"Tsune..." Irvine mumbled, turning around. "Is that... That girl's name?" He asked.

"Tsune...?" Ai blinked as she turned her head to see the girl who attempted to flee. "Tsune! Come!" She barked, causing the girl to freeze in her tracks. Slowly she turned around and walked forward, encountering Ai with a frown.
"Serenade, please can you give her a shirt? This shirt is torn apart..." She asked as Serenade did just that, and fled the scene before anyone else could request anything from her.
"...Tsune... Irvine, don't you remember Mr. and Mrs. Tanikawa?" She asked her husband. "This is undoubtedly their child... Tsune, that's your name right? I'm Ai Inairi...er D'Carn." She chuckled. "I was supposed to be the next in line chief of the village... but your parents moved away before the disaster came, am I right?"
Tsune turned her head away. "Y-Yeah..."
"How have your parents been anyway? Did they seek the dream they set out to do?" Ai asked.
"..."

"..." Irvine closed his eyes. "I don't think this is the best place to be discussing this, do you?" He asked his wife. "I think we should all head home for now." He said, offering a hand to both his wife and Tsune.

"... Can you take me home?" Tsune suddenly asked Irvine, feeling very upset at the moment. Ai only raised her brows, unsure of what to say to the child as she held Mai-Fei and grasped Irvine's hand.

"I don't know where that is." Irvine sighed. "Look, if you can bear with us for just a bit... Mai-Fei was calling to you. Can you at least stay with us until she wakes up? It would mean a lot to her. I'll do my best to explain any questions you have, okay?"

"...Okay." The girl frowned as they were soon teleported back home. Ai prepared some drinks for everyone and Tsune just stood there, not knowing where to sit without agitating anyone.
However, she did bring up a simple question.
"What is up with Mai-Fei?" She asked in Mizuhoan, hoping Mai-Fei, if she could hear, wouldn't understand.

"Ah, that..." Irvine said, looking to his daughter and speaking the language in a slightly off accent. "If it not too much trouble, I believe it's time to bring that whole tale to light." He explained. "But for now, I can give you at least my word that the whole thing that just happened will never happen again."

"It is not too much trouble..." The woman replied as she frowned. "I was scared... yes, but I was also afraid for her. I didn't know what happened. And then she seemed like an entirely different person." She then pointed to her chest. "And then this happened... This... rune. It looks like the same thing that Mai-Fei has on her forehead. What's going to happen to me?"
"...Oh Yulia..." Ai sighed, unsure as to how to answer that. "Mai-Fei WAS an entirely different person." She chimed in, also in Mizuhoan, sans the accent. "She... is unfortunately the new Necromancer. Someday she will have to go down to the underworld and spend her eternity there. I just... don't know what will happen to you, Tsune."

"... But whatever it is, she probably needs your support now." Irvine said, closing his eyes. "So... Yeah... Hm?" He looked at his daughter, who was slowly starting to move.
"Tsune... Sorry..." She groaned, still half asleep.

Tsune crept over to the girl, her frown still apparent as she gripped Mai-Fei's hand while looking at both of her parents. She then looked to her friend and shook her head. "It's not your fault. Don't worry, I'm fine with it. Never better, in fact." She said with a wide smile.
Talk about jumping to support... geez, this girl is so unlike me at that age. Ai ran a hand through her hair. Now that I think about it, I wasn't really there for Irvy when I was that age. I just... was a puppy. She began to chuckle.

"Nngh..." Mai-Fei opened her eyes, seeing Tsune. "Huh?" She blinked. "What happened?" She asked, looking around. "Is this... Home?" She asked, before suddenly clinging to the other girl and sobbing. "I was so scared!"

Tsune froze for a moment at the clinging, but relaxed as she wrapped her arms around the girl. "It's going to be okay..." She muttered as she placed a hand on the girl's head. "I don't know what happened, but it's all over, alright? You're home, and your parents are here for you. They even said they'll take me home, so you don't have to worry about that."
"Aw, sisters!" Ai squealed for a moment before turning to Irvine. "I think Mai-Fei needed a sister..." She mentioned to him in a whisper. "Which gives me an idea... well, actually may be a bit late on that."

"I wouldn't worry about it being too late..." Irvine whispered. He then proceeded to explain the entire situation to his daughter about her history, John's killing of the necrobastard, and her fate. She continued to cry for quite a while.
Irvine, meanwhile sighed. "Well, would you like to stick around for dinner?" He asked Tsune.

Tsune, shocked, glanced up at Irvine and nodded slowly. "I would like to... My mother hasn't cared about me being gone for three weeks. What's one dinner with your family?" She asked as she continued to hold the girl tightly in her arms, trying to be there for her.
"Exactly. Besides, I have some bean cakes in the oven. Heh, it's Mai-Fei's favorite food! I bet she's happy to come home to some homemade cooking." Ai smiled as Tsune smiled as well. "I never really have had had homemade food."
"You haven't?"
"...No. Not really. I usually ate out with men or star-" Just then she shut up, not at all finishing, as she realized she may have slipped up.
