“Is that so?” While he knows that she has to be careful because of his mom, he doesn’t want to upset her since his mom would most likely find out. “Don’t you have your own responsibilities now that you live here in the villa? Perhaps you need to go get your own groceries right about now?”

“I didn’t think you would find here.” He had a straight face while answering her without emotion like usual.

(Here we go….) “Hello Skyler.”

(There goes my peace and quiet.)

He’s normally calm and collected most of the time but last night’s events have angered him. The blueprints gave him suspicions that Mana may have been experimented on and he didn’t know about Elaine’s side of Ritsu’s situation. Having Arilma confirm everything drove his patience away. >>

"You..!" Black energy would immediately cover the boy's body until he was fully encased in his black knight armor and points his blade at the fell god. "You will never take me."

"Stella, I hope you can find our brother."

SIGHS “The truth is coming out.”

“Important documents?” He had a quick flashback of when Sora presented the blueprints she stole to him during that one time. It looks like Arilma spilled the beans… “I see….”

“Dad just texted me that he wants to have a family meeting. I’m not sure what it’s for but it’s going to take a good amount of my time away.”

“I appreciate it mom.” While she can be really scary, he doesn’t know how powerful his mother truly is because at this point, he doesn’t know about her identity as Deus EX Machina - Shin. For now, he’ll just rely on his own strength to protect himself as his armor, Knight of the Black Skies- >>

It got to a point where Stella made a bet with Elaine to see if Mana will ever get mad at Yuto. So far, Elaine’s safe since Mana hasn’t gotten mad at her yet. “If you can text and send emojis, you’re decent with technology to have a good idea on how to use smartphones.” He then pauses as he- >>

He’s just really lucky that his mom loves him and can never get mad at him. The day she gets mad at him will be the day pigs fly. “With all the photos you took, perhaps you should create an album to make those memories even more special. I heard dad’s parents did that.” He then holds the- >>

He was definitely annoyed having to watch the other siblings as he prefers doing his vigilante acts to “cleanse” the wicked. As he sister went through the blue prints and papers she collected, he couldn’t help but eye certain drawings. “It makes sense. The abilities of my suit are vastly- >>

He’ll take love any day instead of an angry mom. “You can keep that photo in your library for as long as you’d like. I know you’ve been trying to collect photos to make memories after all.” Since he grew up fast in another dimension, Mana did miss his childhood after all.

He’s really lucky for being her favorite child. She’s never gotten mad at him before too! Even so, he is aware that she can be scary… “It’s perfect.” He replies, liking the new photo and giving his approval. While he’s not a fan of hugs, he’ll accept it because it’s from his mom.

Since Sora’s still technically grounded because of being forced to do community service, Yuto still has to cover for his sister’s duty of watching the other siblings, much to his annoyance. “I won’t do anything major with you so you don’t have to worry. I try to keep communication with you- >>

He then returns to usual expression before walking up to his mother to view the photo. "How is it?" He'll tolerate his mother's fake crying because it's not as annoying and he doesn't want to upset her.

He lets out a sigh as he senses his sister nearby. Chances are, she's going to ask him for something AGAIN. "Dear sister, what are you doing staring at me from over there?"

While he isn’t one to be spoiled, he is Mana’s favorite kid so he’ll always try to keep her happy even if he has to break his edgy character. “You can take the replacement photo now. Now I’m more photogenic.” He’s even striking a confident pose just for her.

“Eh? Wait mom, was that a picture you took of me? I was not prepared for that. May you delete that photo and retake it?” At least he’s asking very politely to not upset her in any way.

“Sure, anything for you. I love you mom.” He tries to smile for her and while it’s not a full smile, it’s one of his best attempts since he normally has a frown on his face 24/7.

And he will make sure to keep that a secret from his mom. He’s already annoyed that his blood siblings know of his identity after all. “I’m sorry mom. I always sound like this so don’t think that way.”

“Oh, hi mom.” He begrudgingly tries to not complain after hearing about what she did to Marduk and his own siblings despite not liking the attention.
