As the days slowly passed, Kana no longer stayed in her disguise and was now walking around the house in her dragon form. For some reason, Nancy had taken to making sure to shine Kana's tail and horns every night and morning.

"Master, what plans do you have for the time being?" Nancy asked as she gently rubbed lotion on Kana's scales.

Kana, who was enjoying the tail massage, pondered for a moment before saying: "Well, this is supposed to be training for the academy I am at, so once the training is over, I will head back. Currently, I have a ton of money, so I can basically do as I please. I guess I should check on my kids and Handsome Husband."

Nancy's entire body froze. Her head turned slowly like a broken robot as she stared at Kana with watery eyes. "Hu-Hu-Hu-HUSBAND?"

"Hmmm? Yeah, didn't I tell you? I have a bunch of babies and a wonderful Handsome Husband. Look!" Kana waved her hand, and a bunch of water screens appeared, and in each one depicted a different person. Kana pointed towards the one in the middle with the handsome man who was currently fighting a large monster. "He's my husband. Although that monster…."

Kana pursed her lips as she inspected Creige's condition, and only when she saw that he was in good condition did she decide not to intervene. She also knew that if she did, he might not be too happy about it. It looked as if he was having fun after all.

"But I thought… I was going to take responsibility…." Nancy whispered to herself. A thought came to Nancy's mind when she realized that Kana might have wanted both a husband and wife! With this thought in mind, her mood became better. But she had to be sure not to lose out to some handsome man! Yes, Nancy was not affected at all by Creige's good looks. In fact, she was staring daggers at the screen as if she was looking at her worst enemy.

"Hmm? Did you say something?" Kana asked without turning back to look at Nancy.

"No. Just some internal monologue." Nancy replied. Kana shrugged and continued pointing out her kids. "That is Angelica, Rain, and Yana. Over here is….."

Listening to Kana's lively explanation of her daughters and sons, Nancy understood that Kana truly loved her children. Nancy's eyes softened when she saw how happy Kana was. She hoped one day she too could become someone that special to Kana.

Kana still had no idea that Nancy had really been taking things the wrong way. The girl did not even realize that her duties had not changed in the slightest. Nor had Kana tried to make any passes on her in that way. They say that those who are oblivious to the truth of things are truly a force to be reckoned with. And when you put two of them together who were oblivious to each other's true intentions, you are basically asking for trouble.

While Kana was watching her family, she noticed a scene happening right before her eyes. In a secluded section of the academy, Mei Ling was currently standing there staring at the boy in front of her who looked three times her age. "So as I was saying, please go out with me…."

"Sorry, can you repeat that? I did not hear you correctly again. I could swear you said something really ridiculous just now." Mei Ling was truly unsure if she was hearing this middle aged man correctly or not.

"I said, please go out with me! With the prospect of marriage!" The man replied, his face showing he was dead serious. He also did not seem to be bothered by the fact that Mei Ling had just asked him to repeat himself ten times now.

"Wait! Wait! Wait! Are you serious!? Look how old you look, and then look at me!" Mei Ling yelled out, but the man only shook his head.

"I know you look like this, but you are definitely not a young girl. I know you are well over a few hundred years of age! Otherwise, I would not be standing here now. I also realize that you will probably never have a different body, but I did not fall for you due to your looks but your mind! Your abilities with puppet magic are amazing. The way you carry yourself is also amazing. I just…. Guah!" As the man tried to explain himself, he was suddenly cut off when a foot suddenly kicked him in the side, sending him flying a few feet through the air before tumbling across the ground.

"How dare you hit on Mei Ling!" Bi Ling stood there, her face red with anger. This was her sister! No one could take her!

"Sister Bi…." Mei Ling smiled and shook her head. "You know I would have rejected him. There is no way I am going to date, anyone."

Dating was the last thing on her mind. Her mind was preoccupied with her puppet magic. She only wanted to work on that for now and nothing else. Plus, if she did start dating someone, she knew Bi Ling would be lonely, and she did not wish to leave Bi Ling's side yet. But she had to admit, Bi Ling really had good timing. She was about to summon her teddy to know the man out of the academy and into the endless sea of clouds below. She hated pushy people. He didn't even like her for her but because of her puppet magic. How stupid was that?

Who outright tells someone it was not because of them but their magic that they fell in love with? This irked Mei Ling a lot. Yes, she looked childish, and her mindset was still childish due to this, but she was still a grown woman! Well, sort of. She still would cry to her Mama if something bad happened. And she disliked being away from Bi Ling at night since she would get very lonely. And…. Mei Ling was realizing she was still just a little girl no matter how old she got. This thought along made her feel depressed.
