“Unbelievable. Impossible!” my father was exclaiming after I told them the most of my story. “That you are a yakuza and dealing drugs is more believable, but…”

“But the proof is in the scene before us.” uncle Junpei sighed. Flames were swirling above one of my palms, while I was keeping a handful of coins flying about with wind with my other. This was after I had already demonstrated my incredible strength, lifting up both uncle and father one-handed without any obvious signs of strain.

“I can do more. Want me to pick up and throw a car? I can manage that now, I reckon.” I smiled, relieved that my secret was out in the open.

“So, Shaeula, she’s not even a human? But she looks so much like a pretty girl.” Auntie focussed in on her own interests, which was her daughter's love rival.

“Well, I can say she’s totally and completely a girl when she wants to be, head to toes, a perfect reproduction. But in her Faerie form she isn’t.” I flushed as I realised I’d just implied something lewd in front of Eri’s mother.

“More importantly… this other world is dangerous, isn’t it?” uncle asked. “And my little girl is risking her life there?”

I winced. “Like I said, originally I planned to keep everyone else out of this, but Shaeula made the decision for me. I now think she was right though.” I shrugged. “Auntie, uncle. Just ask Eri about how much she’s grown. I was won over by Eri when she told me that even if I loved her I didn’t have a right to control her life. She wanted to stand by my side. And while the thought of her or my sister, or anyone I care about getting hurt terrifies me… I let Shaeula fight by my side, so to deny Eri… it wouldn’t be fair to her. I am making sure that Eri, Aiko and those others I’m in charge of have maximum safety margins and don’t take risks. I still feel very uncomfortable with it all, but… the world is a dangerous place. Having my family and friends strong enough to protect themselves makes the most sense. I can’t be everywhere at once.”

“I see. Well… Eri seems very happy. And I’m pleased to hear she is standing up for herself more.” uncle continued. “Even if I doubt some of her choices.”

“But still, if you can defeat mobs of yakuza and other assailants, how are these bodyguards going to protect us?” my father asked, and it was a good question.

“Luckily, it’s more a case of foreign agents who might target you. Normal people, if well-trained and armed. Fujiwara Security can handle that, I’ve been assured, or if not, they can buy you enough time to escape. When we are done here I’ll call Fujiwara-san’s secretary to patch me through to the leader of their Security Services, Ueno-san. He can get the security to introduce themselves to you all. When they don’t have to hide, they can do a better job.
