“So you did help your new friends, by the way. How are they?” Erick asked with a wide smile, impressed by Aashi’s commitment to helping her friends.

Aashi’s face lit up as she began to speak, her voice laced with enthusiasm. “Kristine-san is her usual self, constantly complaining about the workload at her pharmaceutical company. Aisa-san has been busy managing her growing hotel chain, while Hana-san has been designing new and unique fashion concepts using materials sourced from nature’s beasts.”

…..

As she recounted her friends’ successes, Aashi couldn’t help but smile with pride. “I offered them a helping hand at first, but after seeing their remarkable progress, I suggested investing in their businesses for future growth, which they readily accepted.”

Erick nodded in approval. “That’s great news for them. I’ve been thinking about visiting them myself.”

Aashi let out a playful laugh, her eyes sparkling mischievously. “Oh, are you missing your lovely onee-sans?”

Erick couldn’t help but grin, his mind drifting back to their passionate night together. “No, I just thought it was time for a visit. Besides, didn’t I show you last night who I missed so much?”

Aashi’s cheeks flushed pink as she playfully pouted at him. “Moe!”

Curious, Erick noticed a file in Aashi’s hands and asked her about it. “By the way, what file are you holding in your hands?”

Aashi’s expression turned serious as she held up the file for him to see. “This contains information about a group of people who have been trying to get in our way. I had to take matters into my own hands and destroy them. Later on, I found out that these same people were responsible for harassing the Fantasia Islanders. We decided to cooperate and discovered a major crisis related to them.”

Erick took the file from her and began to read through it. The more he read, the angrier he became. “You mean to tell me that these guys aren’t just causing trouble here, but they’ve also managed to cross over into another world and are causing chaos there too?”

Aashi nodded grimly. “We haven’t been able to pinpoint exactly which world they’ve invaded, but we did manage to obtain the coordinates with the help of Willow. She was the one who alerted me to the situation in the first place. Even though I destroyed their channel, many of them had already escaped by the time I arrived. I fear they may still have the means to open the channel again.”

Erick’s mind raced as he flipped through the file’s pages. The images were blurry, but he could make out enough to understand the gravity of the situation. The information contained in the file was disturbing, mentioning the use of human blood and flesh to open the channel. He felt a surge of anger towards the perpetrators and felt like bashing those bastard up until they are able to repent for whatever sin they had committed up till now.

“It looks like I’ll have to pay this place a visit. My second destination is now set,” Erick said with a fierce determination in his voice. He knew what he had to do – he had to put an end to this madness once and for all.

Aashi’s expression was one of incredulity as she gazed at Erick, her shock clearly etched on her face. “What…You are going again, No way, you just came back!” she exclaimed, her voice carrying a hint of disbelief.

Erick’s expression remained serious as he replied, “Well, I do have to go and clear these bastards. After I have seen these things I won’t be able to sleep peacefully knowing I could have done something but still ignored it!” His tone conveyed a sense of conviction that left no room for argument.

But Aashi wasn’t one to back down easily, and she quickly made her own decision. “Fine then,” she said with a sigh, “this time I will be accompanying you on your journey!” She moved behind him and hugged his neck, a smile spreading across her face.

As she held him, Aashi’s body language conveyed both determination and love. She was resolved to help Erick put an end to the evil that had been uncovered, but at the same time, she also wanted to be there for him, to support him and stand by his side no matter what challenges they might face.

Aashi’s confidence in Kazue Kazahito and Risa Yamana was evident as she spoke about them to Erick. Her words were filled with pride and assurance as she explained how she had trained them to manage the business empire in her absence. Erick nodded in agreement, knowing that both Kazue and Risa possessed extraordinary abilities that could help them succeed in their endeavors.

He couldn’t help but feel a sense of admiration for Aashi, as she had not only built this successful enterprise but had also taken the time to train her successors. It was a testament to her leadership skills and dedication to the people she cared about.

“I see,” Erick said, a small smile forming on his lips. “Well, in that case, I’m glad you have everything under control. But are you sure you want to come with me? It won’t be an easy journey.”

Aashi simply shrugged and tightened her grip around his neck. “I can handle it,” she said confidently. “Besides, I want to make sure you don’t do anything reckless.”

Erick couldn’t help but chuckle at her words. “Alright then, we will leave after two days from now,” he said, taking her hand in his and leading her towards the exit of their office.

…..

Erick thought that he should meet with his three lovely onee-sans first and then inform both Kazue Kazahito and Risa Yamana that Aashi was going to be traveling with him, so they could take care of the business instead of her.

“So, who should we visit first?” Erick asked, looking at Aashi while sitting in their sports car after exiting their office parking lot.

“Alright, let’s go and meet Kristine-san first. She should be at her office by now,” Aashi replied and fastened her seatbelt.

“Vroom!” “Vrooom…!!”

With the roaring sound of the engine, Erick started the car and sped towards Camilo Pharmaceuticals.
