Chapter 1:
Spoiler: show
Month 6, Day 10, Year 2021:
First entry for this day, I might write some more later on if something good happens. I’m glad that the summer’s ending and those two will be going back to the academy. Today’s the 40th year anniversary of the signing of the Human/Monster Peace Treaty and the start of a new school year for Feena and Akira, and the first day of Athuric’s teaching job in San Atruscan Academy. Athuric tried to rope me into the teaching job, which I simply said 'no' to his attempt to get me to teach since I have a job already. Besides, he has his wife to accompany him in the academy since they applied for the academy. What's there to worry about if Athuric's with Anneli... and Farina, their supervisor.
Looks like me and Kaede will be the only ones who will be left here while those two go and have fun in school. Kaede’s being an adorable pest as always, trying to use her cuteness to stop me from dating my girlfriend or force me to take her to my job at the D.O.C.S. Embassy since she’s been dying to go back there ever since I took her with me. Right now, I’m on a leave since Dad and Mrs. Masaharu went on their very first honeymoon and no one might be able to take care of Kaede. All I could do for now is to wait for them to come back so that I could finally stop wasting my leaves and get back to work.
Mom, I wish that you're here to see how much we've built after losing so much after you died. I hope that you'll continue to watch over us from the afterlife.

A notebook was closed and put in a desktop's shelf next to a book with a D.O.C.S. Primer on its spine and picture frame of four people, one is an adult and three are children, wearing black dresses and suits, by a black haired man in his mid 20's and leaned on the swivel chair that he is sitting upon. The man scratched his light brown skin underneath his plain white tee shirt and looked up on the ceiling. He closed his dark brown eyes and drift into a short nap, knowing that today might be a lazy day for him.
Nothing to do for the entire morning other than laze about and take a nap. he yawned as he removes his hand underneath the shirt, Maybe I should teach Kaede how to cook. She's been pestering me for a while on teaching her on how to do that for a while. he yawned once more as his mind drifts.
All of the sudden, a loud banging from the door rattled the room’s silence and dispelled him from his drowsiness. He murmured an inaudible cuss before standing up from his chair and opens the door to see who disturbed his nap. When the door is opened, the man was suddenly tackled by a blonde, little girl in blue pajamas who has fox ears and a tail. The little girl snuggled on the man that she just tackled and greeted him.
“Good Morning, Grey-nii~.” she sweetly with a Japanese accent said as her tail waggles and her ears twitches while she cuddled with him.
“Good Morning, Kaede.” Grey said in a deadpan tone as he tries to put her aside so that he could stand, “Would you please move off from me?” he asked the fox girl.
“Oh!” Kaede realized that Grey was on the ground and she was on top of him, “Sorry about that.” she removed herself on top of him so that Grey could stand up.
“Haven’t we talked about this, Kaede?” he said as he slowly stood up and dusted himself while he looked at her seriously, “Tackling a person in the morning is a bad thing.”
“But...” Kaede flopped one of her ears and looked at him with a sad look in her eyes, “That’s my way of showing affection to you.” she pouted, “Is showing affection illegal as well in the Human Realm, Grey-nii?” she asked.
“Well, people might get hurt if you always do that, Kaede.” Grey ruffled her hair and bent his knees to match her height, “No one wants to get hurt in the morning. Well... At least those who are not some Dark Elf’s hubby wouldn’t want to get hurt in the morning.”
“I’m sorry if I hurt you, Grey-nii...” she apologized as her ears and tail dropped out of shame.
“No need to apologize.” he said as he stood up once more, “Anyway, I think we should prepare for this morning’s breakfast and wake those two bums up.”
“Okay~.” Kaede perked up her ears and her tail waggled once more and led the way outside as Grey closed the door, “Let’s make Feena-nee and Athu-nii’s breakfast taste great to start out their day, Grey-nii.”
“Right...” Grey’s now energetic tone is heard from the other side of the closed door along with the sounds of feet shuffling and alarm clocks ringing begins to fill the morning air.

The alarm on the study desk sets off in a book-filled room in the most obnoxious ways possible. The ring and the vibration of the alarm clock managed to topple down some of the few stacks of books that are positioned near the desk and sets off a chain reaction that turned the stacked books into the room’s floor carpet. The only place that was saved from the chain reaction was the bed that is with a large lump of blankets and sheets on top of it. The alarm’s ring may not have bulge the lump, or the chaos that happened in the room, but a leather bound book fell from the shelf on top of the bed to the centre of the lump managed to force movement on it.
“Ngruuuuuuh...” a groan is heard from a yellow green lump on a bed, “Ngoooooohhh...” as the blankets and sheets are removed to unravel a 19 year old young woman with an unkempt black hair and a loose shirt that covers her entire brown skinned body, “Stupid... alarm.” she grumbled as she threw a pillow on the obnoxious alarm clock, hitting the alarm and upsetting a few stacks of books near it, causing them to fall.
She then stood up and began to rearrange the books that are now on the floor and piled them all up in one corner to make her bedroom look clean. The multitude of books that are lying around were textbooks from her years in high school and elementary, novels of famous authors and philosophers of the 19th century, tourist’s guidebooks in different countries, and comic books that she got from a hobby convention that happened during summertime. The girl began to scratch the back of her head, and see if there’s anything missing after cleaning up the mess that happened in her room a while ago.
“Feena!” Grey’s shout was heard from the first floor, “Wake up! I don’t want to be blamed as the person who caused you to be tardy again.”
“I’m already awake, Kuya!” she shouted back as she puts her hand down and opened the closet, “And I don’t blame you for making me late all the time, you know! That only happened one time in high school!”
“Fine...” Grey shouted back from below as she hears the sound of food, frying in oil and pots boiling, “Just be sure to get ready for your first day, okay?”
“Okay!” Feena said as she took out a towel and a basket full of soaps and bottles of shampoo and conditioner and went out of her room.

The yellow floral pattern of the wallpaper was the first thing that Feena sees outside her room. She closed the door of her room and went to her right to the end of the hallway where a door with a hanging ‘Bathroom’ sign is hanging on the wall. When Feena made her way to the Bathroom’s door, she knocked the door first and waited for an answer for five seconds... there was none. She smiled and opened the door, thinking that she beaten her brother in using the Bathroom first. But then, Feena was surprised to see fox ears and three tails sticking out from the bathtub. She came inside and look inside the bathtub to see who is inside it.
"Good morning, Feena." a naked, three tailed, blonde fox girl who is at the same age as Feena is lying inside the bathtub that is beginning to fill up itself with water greeted her in a casual manner and with an accent, "I suppose that you wish to bathe, correct?"
"Well, I wouldn't be here if I didn't want to take a bath, Akira." Feena answered back in a sarcastic manner as she puts her bath products on the counter with a sink near the bathtub and the towel on the towel rack, "Also, nice rack you got there, as usual." she praised Akira's C-cup breasts as she took off her clothes and exposed her sleek waist, and B-cup chest.
"Same goes to you as well, Feena. Your figure's quite amazing for a girl who shuts herself inside a very dirty room." Akira teased as she sat up and leaned to turn off the faucet, "Have you been undergoing some sort of a secret training regiment while Grey-chan and Athu-kun aren't looking?" she added as she makes room for Feena, who is now entering the bathtub.
"Not really." the human smiled, "I've been taking up some of Kuya Athy's exercise programs." she said as she gets comfortable inside the bathtub, "And took advices on what to eat and what to avoid eating from Kuya Rod." she added.
"I see." the fox girl then leaned back, "And I thought that you have that figure due to your constant running around inside campus."
"Well, you could say that I also ran around inside and outside the campus." Feena admitted as she washes her hair, "The classes that I take are not held inside one department building, you know."
"Oh my~..." Akira said as she helped Feena scrub her head with shampoo, "How long have you been doing this, Feena?"
"Well..." she put her index finger on her chin as she thinks, "I think I've been doing this since my 2nd semester of my first year, Akira." she puts her finger down, "Ever since I get to pick and choose on my schedules."
"And you've kept this kind of arrangement until now?" Akira asked as she turns around to be tended by Feena.
"Yep." Feena answered as she applies shampoo on her hair and began to scrub her hair, "I really don't mind that kind of arrangement anyway, Akira."
"You're their sister, all right." Akira jeered and mischieviously smiled at her, "Say Feena, we should go out and play at the Arcades after our classes with Lethe and Ord." she said in an excited manner, "I've heard that there's a team of Werecats and Nekomatas taking names and kicking butts in Armored Revolution."
"Hmmmm..." Feena smiled in the same manner as Akira's as well, "Why are we taking Ord with us? He always fails at using Daedelus Type Art. Mk.2 and Dragon Barrel, right?"
"True." the fox girl wagged her two of her wet tails while Feena washes the other one, "But Lethe and me helped Ord use ground mechs. He won't be acting like a retard waiting for a shell to hit his face anymore." she said in an impish manner.
The two grew silent after Akira's last statement and continues to wash each other for five minutes. The silence seems to be enjoyable at first until the fox girl decided to break the silence by asking one question that made Feena cringe.
"How's your love life by the way, Feena?" Akira asked inquisitively.
"What?!" Feena blurted out of surprise, "Akira, you should know already that I'm not going to talk about my love life since I don't even have one. Why do you still keep on asking me that kind of question?"
"Because I'm worried about you dying alone and uncared for, Feena." the fox girl said in a sing song tone as she wrapped her arms on Feena neck and shoulder from behind, "Whoever heard of a twenty year old single anyway?"
"Your monster folk logic is at work again, Aki." Feena sighed, "I'm fine with my current disposition anyway.” she answered her before standing up, “I don’t need a boyfriend that would make me happy… nor do I need a cock to make me feel complete.” she muttered the last part.
“Your human logic is at work, Feena~.” Akira giggled and splashed water on her face.
"Heh." she smirked as Akira splashed her as she rinses herself with clean water.

"Athy..." a naked, black haired woman with wolf ears sticking out of her head prods a naked, young man with the same semblance like Grey with her black fur covered hands, "We need to get up now." she said, "We'll be having classes for today and we can't be late right in front of our students."
"Five more minutes, Nell." the man named Athy said as he covered himself with a blanket, "I need my sleep..."
"Come on, Athy." Nell continues to prod Athy, "We can't be late in our first day you know." she added, "Farina might get pissed off with us if we're both tardy."
"Farina can wait..." he ignores Nell's attempt to get him off of his bed, "I'm too tired after what you did to me, last night..." he groaned.
Nell blushed when Athy said the words 'last night'. She and Athy decided to have some fun after receiving something that the two of them have always wanted two weeks ago: the approval of Headmaster Polyursica to allow them to become professors in the Academy where they are alumni members. They are not the only ones who are a part of the school's alumni that will be teaching, there are seven more of them that will be joining in, four of them are monster folks and humans who studied with Athy and Nell while the rest from a different Academy. Nell knows that if Athy doesn't wake up, then the two of them will get into trouble with their superiors. She then decided to shout...
"Grey! Athy's not getting up again!" Nell shouted as she watch Athy sitting up all of the sudden.
"After I'm done cooking your breakfast, I'm going to come up to your room and beat the hell out of you if you're not out of that bed, Athuric!" Grey's loud and serious voice can be heard from downstairs.
Athy's eyes shot open and panic took over. He jumped out of the bed and went for the small pile of clothes that was at the foot of their bed. Nell is quite amused on how her husband strongly reacts to Grey whenever he sounds angry. Though Grey wouldn't actually do such a thing in the morning, Nell knows that Grey will be more than willing to punch his brother in the face if he acts irresponsible.
"Ohgodohgodohgodohgod-..." Athy chanted "oh god" repeatedly as he immediately search for any boxers.
"My, I never thought that you are still afraid of Grey, Athy~." Nell teased him as she finds some clothes to cover herself up.
"He's freakin' scary once he gets angry, Nell." Athy put on his boxers and looks for a shirt as well, "Remember the time when I nearly raped Merrill since she forgot to wear her Restrictor back in High School? Gigi suddenly went nuts and punched me so damn hard that I thought I was gonna die." he recalled as he finds a shirt that doesn't smell like sex.
"Well Grey has to do that since Merrill was in danger." Nell said as she puts on her underwear, "Though I wished he didn't stop you from raping Merrill though..." she muttered.
"What did you say, Nell?" Athy asked.
"Nothing." Nell answered quickly as she handed Athy a shirt, "Hmmm, Grey's cooking chicken soup..." she sniffed the air.
"Hah…” Athy snorted, “Shall we go downstairs, Nell?”
“Sounds like a plan, Athy, lets.” Nell stood up simultaneously with Athy. The two of them head towards the door and exited the room.

Kaede, now wearing a green apron and a hair cap, took a chair and used it as a leverage to reach the countertop and to help Grey, who is wearing a checkered apron, in the kitchen work by cooking the rice and stirs the chicken soup every minute or so. Grey took out the pancake mix that he prepared last night and another frying pan. He removed the other pan that contains adobong manok, put the contents of the pan in a bowl, and put the pan in the sink for cleaning later on.
“Kaede, that soup is already cooked.” Grey said to the young fox girl, “You better put the pan away from the stove or else the soup might burn or something.”
“Okay.” Kaede tries to put the pan aside but forgot to use a pot holder, causing her to back off from the stove, shake her hands to cool it off after getting singed by the hot handles, “Ow! Ow! Owowowowowow! Fucking pan! Fucking, fucking shit of a pan.”
“Oh dear…” he sighed when Kaede shot a string of expletives to the hot pan, “Looks like you’ll be cleaning the toilets later on as well, Kaede.”
“Wait, what?!” the fox girl’s mouth fell wide open when her stepbrother punished her.
“How many times did I tell you not to have your older sisters’ tongues?” he said in a strict tone as he put away the hot pan that is filled with soup.
“But Aki and Feena are doing it as well!” Kaede complained, “Why can’t I do it, Grey-nii?!” she asked Grey.
“Because boys don’t like girls that talk like a sailor.” a wolfish voice from an open door said that made Grey groan a bit.
Nell, now wearing a loose, long shirt without a bra underneath it, entered the kitchen along with Arty, who is wearing a white shirt and a pair of boxers. Kaede greeted the duo with a smile while Grey sighed at the sight of the two who are walking around in their underwear. Arty scratched the back of his head when he saw his twin brother’s reaction to their appearance while his wife giggled at him.
“You know, you should get used to this, Grey.” Nell said to him, “After all, your work forces you to arrest naked monster girls whenever a chance and a reason is given.” she added as she and Arty sat down at the dining table while Kaede brings them the food that she and Grey prepared.
“No.” was Grey’s answer when she tries to use the work-related reason on him, “Just because my work involves monster folks, doesn’t mean that I’ll get used to seeing them in their birthday suits all the time.”
“But you still need to get used to it, Kuya.” Arty backed Nell up, “They can smell your weakness and they like it better when the guy that they bump into is a guy that has a moral of a priest.”
“I have a friend who got himself pounced and raped by a Succubus when she knew that he’s acting like a chaste virgin.” the Werewolf recalled as she filled her plate with food, “The Succubus enjoyed raping him until you arrested her for not following the laws of Human Realm.”
“That Succubus acted like as if she was in Old Oerth, Anneli.” Grey said to Nell as he laid down a platter full of hot pancakes on the table and took a seat, “She must have forgotten about the fact that New Oerth is a Human Realm.”
“Feena and Akira, reporting for breakfast~!” Feena, now wearing a pink blouse and black lean jeans, said in a cheery tone as she entered the kitchen with Akira, wearing a sky blue long sleeved blouse and grey jeans, “Oh my, Kuya and Kaede did a great job, huh?”
“Well I’m not going to send you four off with an empty stomach, you know.” Grey said as he munched on a piece of adobong manok.
“Rica’s such a lucky lady…” Nell said before drinking water.
“Yeah, she got herself a boyfriend who knows a lot about housework.” Arty added, “Have you seen her cook and clean, Akira? It’s like a mess, man.”
“Yes… I still can’t believe that Grey said that her cooking… whatever that piece of carbon was supposed to be… tastes great.” Akira shivered, “How did you manage to eat all of it, Grey-chan?”
“I… have no idea how I managed to get them down to my stomach.” he answered quietly as he remembers the time he was coerced into eating one of Rica’s cooking.
“Well, I’m done eating already.” Athy picked up his plate as he stood up, “And I think I need a bath.”
“Me too.” Nell also followed suit, “Let’s take a bath together, Athy~.”
“Sure." Athy said as he took Nell's plate and put it in the sink along with his.
"So Grey, any news about mom and dad?" Akira asked Grey, who is watching his twin brother and his Werewolf wife leave the room.
"Well Mrs. Masaharu and Dad are having fun in touring the African Union with Kashim and Fiora as their guide." Grey answers Akira while cutting his pancake into pieces, "I still can't believe that Dad was the person that Mrs. Masaharu was dating back then." he said while scratching his head.
"Mom said that you were one of her top students, Grey-nii!" Kaede piped into the conversation, "She always uses you as her example whenever Akira-nee is lazing around."
"Oh my..." Grey blurted out of surprise and blushed out of embarassment.
"Well thank you for keeping that one a secret, you dum dum." the older fox sibling sarcastically told her younger sibling while giving her a dirty look, "Mom always say that you always act so serious back then." she added while hiding her embarrassment, "And you were always angry whenever your friends or Athu-san goof around."
"They tend to get into trouble back then." Grey scratched the back of his head, "Me and Farina tend to cover up for their mess back then, Akira." he smiled as he remembers the old days, "Man, those were fun times back when we were all together... Now." he sighed while taking a bite on a pancake, "Kashim and Fiora moved out from here to the African Union to start a family, Lei went back to Old Oerth to help out in running Carnia, Manfred's with his harem in Canada, Amarita and Jasmina are travelling around the world, and Neuman is studying with Katarina and gang in Old Oerth. It's just me, Athuric, Rica, Anelli, Farina, and Rod who are still together."
"My, you sure made a lot of friends back then." Akira grinned.
"It's kinda sad to see them all go and strive on their own, you know." Grey sighed once more when he finished eating, "Then again, we all have dreams to follow." he stood up and took his plate with him, "Better hurry, you two. Tardiness on your first day in classes doesn't garner the professor's good side."
Akira and Feena's eyes widened when Grey reminded the two of them that they might get late. Wasting no time, they both started to shovel the food that remained on their plate as fast as possible. Kaede, now finished eating, went to her stepbrother's side and helped him wash the dishes. When the two finished eating, they went to the second sink and brushed their teeth as fast as possible. Nell, entering the kitchen wearing a blue and white tracksuit, opened the fridge and took three Bodigizer X bottles and put them inside her satchel.
"Nell, did you get the bottles?" Athy's voice can be heard from outside the kitchen along with the sounds of motocycle engines starting up.
“Got them, Athy.” Nell said as she puts them inside the satchel, “We might have a long day ahead of us. So I think I’m gonna get an extra energy drink.” she took another bottle of Bodigizer X.
“Welp… There goes my stack of Bodigizer X.” Grey muttered as he washed the dishes.
“You could buy another stash, Grey-nii.” Kaede whispered to him as she brought the remaining plates that need washing.
“I’ll treat you with a dozen of these once we come back from work, Grey.” Nell smiled and winked at him as she exits the room, “Anyway, see you later, guys.”
Grey silently cursed himself as he forgot the fact that the Werewolf has a better hearing perception and that she can hear his whispers like as if they were said in a normal volume. He then shrugged it off and decided to continue washing the dishes and see Feena and Akira, who went upstairs to get the things that they need, off before he could laze about.
Well, at least Kaede and I will be having this house for ourselves for today. Grey thought while he does his morning chores, Maybe I should invite Rica to stop by…
First entry for this day, I might write some more later on if something good happens. I’m glad that the summer’s ending and those two will be going back to the academy. Today’s the 40th year anniversary of the signing of the Human/Monster Peace Treaty and the start of a new school year for Feena and Akira, and the first day of Athuric’s teaching job in San Atruscan Academy. Athuric tried to rope me into the teaching job, which I simply said 'no' to his attempt to get me to teach since I have a job already. Besides, he has his wife to accompany him in the academy since they applied for the academy. What's there to worry about if Athuric's with Anneli... and Farina, their supervisor.
Looks like me and Kaede will be the only ones who will be left here while those two go and have fun in school. Kaede’s being an adorable pest as always, trying to use her cuteness to stop me from dating my girlfriend or force me to take her to my job at the D.O.C.S. Embassy since she’s been dying to go back there ever since I took her with me. Right now, I’m on a leave since Dad and Mrs. Masaharu went on their very first honeymoon and no one might be able to take care of Kaede. All I could do for now is to wait for them to come back so that I could finally stop wasting my leaves and get back to work.
Mom, I wish that you're here to see how much we've built after losing so much after you died. I hope that you'll continue to watch over us from the afterlife.

Akira jeered and mischieviously smiled at her, "Say Feena, we should go out and play at the Arcades after our classes with Lethe and Ord." she said in an excited manner, "I've heard that there's a team of Werecats and Nekomatas taking names and kicking butts in Armored Revolution."
"Hmmmm..." Feena smiled in the same manner as Akira's as well, "Why are we taking Ord with us? He always fails at using Daedelus Type Art. Mk.2 and Dragon Barrel, right?"
"True." the fox girl wagged her two of her wet tails while Feena washes the other one, "But Lethe and me helped Ord use ground mechs. He won't be acting like a retard waiting for a shell to hit his face anymore." she said in an impish manner.
The two grew silent after Akira's last statement and continues to wash each other for five minutes. The silence seems to be enjoyable at first until the fox girl decided to break the silence by asking one question that made Feena cringe.
"How's your love life by the way, Feena?" Akira asked inquisitively.
"What?!" Feena blurted out of surprise, "Akira, you should know already that I'm not going to talk about my love life since I don't even have one. Why do you still keep on asking me that kind of question?"
"Because I'm worried about you dying alone and uncared for, Feena." the fox girl said in a sing song tone as she wrapped her arms on Feena neck and shoulder from behind, "Whoever heard of a twenty year old single anyway?"
"Your monster folk logic is at work again, Aki." Feena sighed, "I'm fine with my current disposition anyway.” she answered her before standing up, “I don’t need a boyfriend that would make me happy… nor do I need a cock to make me feel complete.” she muttered the last part.
“Your human logic is at work, Feena~.” Akira giggled and splashed water on her face.
"Heh." she smirked as Akira splashed her as she rinses herself with clean water.

"Athy..." a naked, black haired woman with wolf ears sticking out of her head prods a naked, young man with the same semblance like Grey with her black fur covered hands, "We need to get up now." she said, "We'll be having classes for today and we can't be late right in front of our students."
"Five more minutes, Nell." the man named Athy said as he covered himself with a blanket, "I need my sleep..."
"Come on, Athy." Nell continues to prod Athy, "We can't be late in our first day you know." she added, "Farina might get pissed off with us if we're both tardy."
"Farina can wait..." he ignores Nell's attempt to get him off of his bed, "I'm too tired after what you did to me, last night..." he groaned.
Nell blushed when Athy said the words 'last night'. She and Athy decided to have some fun after receiving something that the two of them have always wanted two weeks ago: the approval of Headmaster Polyursica to allow them to become professors in the Academy where they are alumni members. They are not the only ones who are a part of the school's alumni that will be teaching, there are seven more of them that will be joining in, four of them are monster folks and humans who studied with Athy and Nell while the rest from a different Academy. Nell knows that if Athy doesn't wake up, then the two of them will get into trouble with their superiors. She then decided to shout...
"Grey! Athy's not getting up again!" Nell shouted as she watch Athy sitting up all of the sudden.
"After I'm done cooking your breakfast, I'm going to come up to your room and beat the hell out of you if you're not out of that bed, Athuric!" Grey's loud and serious voice can be heard from downstairs.
Athy's eyes shot open and panic took over. He jumped out of the bed and went for the small pile of clothes that was at the foot of their bed. Nell is quite amused on how her husband strongly reacts to Grey whenever he sounds angry. Though Grey wouldn't actually do such a thing in the morning, Nell knows that Grey will be more than willing to punch his brother in the face if he acts irresponsible.
"Ohgodohgodohgodohgod-..." Athy chanted "oh god" repeatedly as he immediately search for any boxers.
"My, I never thought that you are still afraid of Grey, Athy~." Nell teased him as she finds some clothes to cover herself up.
"He's freakin' scary once he gets angry, Nell." Athy put on his boxers and looks for a shirt as well, "Remember the time when I nearly raped Merrill since she forgot to wear her Restrictor back in High School? Gigi suddenly went nuts and punched me so damn hard that I thought I was gonna die." he recalled as he finds a shirt that doesn't smell like sex.
"Well Grey has to do that since Merrill was in danger." Nell said as she puts on her underwear, "Though I wished he didn't stop you from raping Merrill though..." she muttered.
"What did you say, Nell?" Athy asked.
"Nothing." Nell answered quickly as she handed Athy a shirt, "Hmmm, Grey's cooking chicken soup..." she sniffed the air.
"Hah…” Athy snorted, “Shall we go downstairs, Nell?”
“Sounds like a plan, Athy, lets.” Nell stood up simultaneously with Athy. The two of them head towards the door and exited the room.

Kaede, now wearing a green apron and a hair cap, took a chair and used it as a leverage to reach the countertop and to help Grey, who is wearing a checkered apron, in the kitchen work by cooking the rice and stirs the chicken soup every minute or so. Grey took out the pancake mix that he prepared last night and another frying pan. He removed the other pan that contains adobong manok, put the contents of the pan in a bowl, and put the pan in the sink for cleaning later on.
“Kaede, that soup is already cooked.” Grey said to the young fox girl, “You better put the pan away from the stove or else the soup might burn or something.”
“Okay.” Kaede tries to put the pan aside but forgot to use a pot holder, causing her to back off from the stove, shake her hands to cool it off after getting singed by the hot handles, “Ow! Ow! Owowowowowow! Fucking pan! Fucking, fucking shit of a pan.”
“Oh dear…” he sighed when Kaede shot a string of expletives to the hot pan, “Looks like you’ll be cleaning the toilets later on as well, Kaede.”
“Wait, what?!” the fox girl’s mouth fell wide open when her stepbrother punished her.
“How many times did I tell you not to have your older sisters’ tongues?” he said in a strict tone as he put away the hot pan that is filled with soup.
“But Aki and Feena are doing it as well!” Kaede complained, “Why can’t I do it, Grey-nii?!” she asked Grey.
“Because boys don’t like girls that talk like a sailor.” a wolfish voice from an open door said that made Grey groan a bit.
Nell, now wearing a loose, long shirt without a bra underneath it, entered the kitchen along with Arty, who is wearing a white shirt and a pair of boxers. Kaede greeted the duo with a smile while Grey sighed at the sight of the two who are walking around in their underwear. Arty scratched the back of his head when he saw his twin brother’s reaction to their appearance while his wife giggled at him.
“You know, you should get used to this, Grey.” Nell said to him, “After all, your work forces you to arrest naked monster girls whenever a chance and a reason is given.” she added as she and Arty sat down at the dining table while Kaede brings them the food that she and Grey prepared.
“No.” was Grey’s answer when she tries to use the work-related reason on him, “Just because my work involves monster folks, doesn’t mean that I’ll get used to seeing them in their birthday suits all the time.”
“But you still need to get used to it, Kuya.” Arty backed Nell up, “They can smell your weakness and they like it better when the guy that they bump into is a guy that has a moral of a priest.”
“I have a friend who got himself pounced and raped by a Succubus when she knew that he’s acting like a chaste virgin.” the Werewolf recalled as she filled her plate with food, “The Succubus enjoyed raping him until you arrested her for not following the laws of Human Realm.”
“That Succubus acted like as if she was in Old Oerth, Anneli.” Grey said to Nell as he laid down a platter full of hot pancakes on the table and took a seat, “She must have forgotten about the fact that New Oerth is a Human Realm.”
“Feena and Akira, reporting for breakfast~!” Feena, now wearing a pink blouse and black lean jeans, said in a cheery tone as she entered the kitchen with Akira, wearing a sky blue long sleeved blouse and grey jeans, “Oh my, Kuya and Kaede did a great job, huh?”
“Well I’m not going to send you four off with an empty stomach, you know.” Grey said as he munched on a piece of adobong manok.
“Rica’s such a lucky lady…” Nell said before drinking water.
“Yeah, she got herself a boyfriend who knows a lot about housework.” Arty added, “Have you seen her cook and clean, Akira? It’s like a mess, man.”
“Yes… I still can’t believe that Grey said that her cooking… whatever that piece of carbon was supposed to be… tastes great.” Akira shivered, “How did you manage to eat all of it, Grey-chan?”
“I… have no idea how I managed to get them down to my stomach.” he answered quietly as he remembers the time he was coerced into eating one of Rica’s cooking.
“Well, I’m done eating already.” Athy picked up his plate as he stood up, “And I think I need a bath.”
“Me too.” Nell also followed suit, “Let’s take a bath together, Athy~.”
“Sure." Athy said as he took Nell's plate and put it in the sink along with his.
"So Grey, any news about mom and dad?" Akira asked Grey, who is watching his twin brother and his Werewolf wife leave the room.
"Well Mrs. Masaharu and Dad are having fun in touring the African Union with Kashim and Fiora as their guide." Grey answers Akira while cutting his pancake into pieces, "I still can't believe that Dad was the person that Mrs. Masaharu was dating back then." he said while scratching his head.
"Mom said that you were one of her top students, Grey-nii!" Kaede piped into the conversation, "She always uses you as her example whenever Akira-nee is lazing around."
"Oh my..." Grey blurted out of surprise and blushed out of embarassment.
"Well thank you for keeping that one a secret, you dum dum." the older fox sibling sarcastically told her younger sibling while giving her a dirty look, "Mom always say that you always act so serious back then." she added while hiding her embarrassment, "And you were always angry whenever your friends or Athu-san goof around."
"They tend to get into trouble back then." Grey scratched the back of his head, "Me and Farina tend to cover up for their mess back then, Akira." he smiled as he remembers the old days, "Man, those were fun times back when we were all together... Now." he sighed while taking a bite on a pancake, "Kashim and Fiora moved out from here to the African Union to start a family, Lei went back to Old Oerth to help out in running Carnia, Manfred's with his harem in Canada, Amarita and Jasmina are travelling around the world, and Neuman is studying with Katarina and gang in Old Oerth. It's just me, Athuric, Rica, Anelli, Farina, and Rod who are still together."
"My, you sure made a lot of friends back then." Akira grinned.
"It's kinda sad to see them all go and strive on their own, you know." Grey sighed once more when he finished eating, "Then again, we all have dreams to follow." he stood up and took his plate with him, "Better hurry, you two. Tardiness on your first day in classes doesn't garner the professor's good side."
Akira and Feena's eyes widened when Grey reminded the two of them that they might get late. Wasting no time, they both started to shovel the food that remained on their plate as fast as possible. Kaede, now finished eating, went to her stepbrother's side and helped him wash the dishes. When the two finished eating, they went to the second sink and brushed their teeth as fast as possible. Nell, entering the kitchen wearing a blue and white tracksuit, opened the fridge and took three Bodigizer X bottles and put them inside her satchel.
"Nell, did you get the bottles?" Athy's voice can be heard from outside the kitchen along with the sounds of motocycle engines starting up.
“Got them, Athy.” Nell said as she puts them inside the satchel, “We might have a long day ahead of us. So I think I’m gonna get an extra energy drink.” she took another bottle of Bodigizer X.
“Welp… There goes my stack of Bodigizer X.” Grey muttered as he washed the dishes.
“You could buy another stash, Grey-nii.” Kaede whispered to him as she brought the remaining plates that need washing.
“I’ll treat you with a dozen of these once we come back from work, Grey.” Nell smiled and winked at him as she exits the room, “Anyway, see you later, guys.”
Grey silently cursed himself as he forgot the fact that the Werewolf has a better hearing perception and that she can hear his whispers like as if they were said in a normal volume. He then shrugged it off and decided to continue washing the dishes and see Feena and Akira, who went upstairs to get the things that they need, off before he could laze about.
Well, at least Kaede and I will be having this house for ourselves for today. Grey thought while he does his morning chores, Maybe I should invite Rica to stop by…
). Great setting you are crafting here, man. It seems that Deruella is going to be a real pain in the ass in the hear future.
