We enjoyed a huge dinner with everyone. Rita and Lily came to join after we arrived back home, and Anna's mother agreed on staying to eat before departing with her daughter back home. Steiner had no objections either as long as Elisa wanted to eat here. He was slowly trusting us more, it seemed.

Monica was opening up a bit more, eating and feeling much better. She even smiled a little bit, which warmed my heart. Seeing someone so unfortunate smile at long last is really a nice thing.

Come to think about it… It was thanks to the skeletons that I arrived there quickly, as they sent me a telepathic message. The charms I had set up worked but they were too faint and slow. Also, it seems they didn't worked detecting Monica's magic because… well, it was inside of her.

Now that I think about it, well, the school's half destroyed, the students will most likely move out to other schools, I should look up where to send my daughter now. There's a few more schools, but I can't remember any other all-girls schools that had enough quality.

It's going to be a bit hard to find something, and honestly I would prefer if she didn't wasted the year and ended up having to repeat it… I'll have to look this online.

If possible, we could arrange something with Anna's mother and Elisa so the girls can go to the same school as Elena, as they're good friends. Well, Monica as well, I hope she agrees.

And about the other topic. Elena knowing our identities shouldn't be that much of a problem, she took it surprisingly easy, though it will be hard to explain her about the connection between Arcadia and Earth.

Her friends don't remember anything unlike her, so there's no need to reveal them anything, Elena said she wouldn't tell anyone, so I hope she does as she said.

And about giving her magic powers… Ugh, I don't know if I should do it. She will be able to defend herself, yes, but that'll also give her problems too, because it might bring the attention of unwanted people, and even worse, of monsters!

But now that she was targeted by Thanatos, it can't be helped, things can't get worse than they had already become. Might as well awaken her magic circle and maybe a physique later if she trains well enough physically.

Come to think of it… I wonder if there's any school that can help someone develop their abilities? Well, hunters are quite new, so I doubt there's anything like that. Maybe something like that could pop up next year, for all I know.

Ugh, so many things to think about and consider now… Okay, let's just do things one step at a time. For now, what I must do is find a new school online, then once we got some time alone, explain my daughter things out, might end up getting a lot more support from her part in Arcadia too if I do that. Lastly, make her a magic circle.

And about Monica, I don't know. She doesn't know our true identities either, so for now, let's leave her on her own in the meaning of her abilities, though I'll inspect their development if there is any in the coming days.

If her abilities happen to be similar to Dorothea, and they're dangerous, I might have to seal them, but if she can control them, and they don't take over her or something, she might keep them. This is why keeping her in my house for now would also be a good way of monitoring her.

The night came and it got quite late. Anna and her mother set off back to their homes, I sent a few Spirits to monitor them and protect them from anything that might try to do something funny, the same was for Elisa and Steiner.

Monica at first felt too embarrassed to stay in here, but ultimately agreed after Elena showed her a bed she had prepared at the side of hers. The girl sighed but ended accepting the hospitality.

I told Morpheus to check on her while we were sleeping, he could become completely ethereal and invisible as a Spirit, so it wasn't hard.

Rita and Lily left quite late in the night, as we stayed drinking and talking with Mark up to like 3 AM. Once they were gone and the girls were sleeping, we had some fun in bed, to let out some steam.

Despite how tired we were, Mark was very intense tonight as well, he's getting the hang of it despite having lost his virginity a few days ago. I'm loving how he lovingly embraces me…

And after mating like rabbits, it was already 4 AM! We had to sleep.

"A lot happened yesterday and today… I'm so exhausted." I sighed.

"I guess we should log-in tomorrow, we are too tired." Mark yawned.

I cuddled with him, resting my head over his chest, and he hugged me back, his warmth made me feel at ease. We fell asleep right away, too tired to even talk anymore…

Meanwhile, inside the tallest skyscraper in the city, Rose and Albert gathered with a few other SWORD Agents inside the office of their boss, Reagan.

They had spent most of the day discussing what had transpired yesterday, and everyone had already come to the conclusion the "masked heroes" were Elayne and her friends.

Their voices, powers, and everything else matched way too perfectly.

"So it was really them, huh? They did quite a lot now, and we couldn't even get there in time." Reagan facepalmed. "If news about Canada's anti-supernatural government agencies being incompetent, we're going to get a lot of backlash."

"Well, we could always pretend they worked for us all along." Rose smiled.

"Would they be okay with that though?" Albert raised an eyebrow.

"Yeah, won't Miss Elayne get really pissed off? It would be better if we have a good relationship with them." Reagan said.

"Nah, she'll understand as long as we explain things to her, also, we can always offer something in return too." Rose seemed to have a plan. "Let's help her keep her identity a secret to the public masses."
