Sakura Mito, Celadon City.
Pink cherry blossoms drizzled through the air, a warm and serene atmosphere brought calmness and tranquillity to oneself.
There were cherry blossom trees everywhere one could see and below the trees was a carpet of green grass.
Lith was seated on a mat beneath one of the many cherry blossom trees present and was enjoying lunch along with his mother, Lilith.
Both were out of the bamboo forest and decided to go straight to the main tourist attraction in the Sakura Mito district, which were the year-round cherry blossoms.
Sunlight seeped through the pink leaves and shone upon Lilith, who was looking at Lith.
“You know…”
Lilith spoke and brought Lith’s attention onto herself.
She then smiled brightly and continued, “…mama is very happy today.”
Looking at her smile so brightly, coupled with the sunlight falling onto her and the whole serene atmosphere, Lith couldn’t help but think,
‘Ah… my heart. She looks so damn cute!’
Lilith’s smile made Lith smile as well and he replied, “I am glad.”
Lilith chuckled and moved closer towards Lith. Sitting beside him, she kissed his cheek and said,
“Thank you for this.”
Lith felt his heart melt with this gesture. He smiled and shook his head, saying,
“The pleasure is all mine, mom. You don’t have to be thankful about it as it is only natural that I do these things.”
Lilith smiled and didn’t reply to Lith. She picked up a piece of fried chicken with her chopsticks from one of the many bentos in front of her and moved it towards Lith’s face.
“Say aaa…”
Lith chuckled looking at this intimate gesture and opened his mouth.
Lilith fed Lith the fried chicken and smiled happily.
Such calm and peaceful moments with her children was all she wanted. This made her the happiest. But she knew that such a thing wasn’t possible everyday. Her children had their own lives to live and couldn’t just be around their mama forever.
This was sad to know but Lilith couldn’t do anything about it. She loved her children too much to place any restrictions on them to keep them with her.
Lilith just went with the flow and enjoyed herself everyday by watching what her kids did.
But today was different since she was on a date with Lith. A date meant getting to spend a lot of time with him and also being very intimate. What else could she ask for?
Of course, her previous grievances weren’t resolved but she put them on the back of her mind for a while to enjoy herself fully.
She continued to feed Lith with a smile on her face, which was so contagious that Lith had a smile on his face for all this while as well.
Lith fed his mother food too and they chatted for some time while having food.
Their bentos consisted of a lot of things such as fried squid, fried chicken, sushi, rice, etc, and they enjoyed it alongside a cup of tea.
Nobody was there to disturb them as Luna and the other maids were keeping a watch and diverting people from Lith’s spot.
The two continued to have their sweet time together and looking at this, far away from them…

In the Star Dragon City.
“That looks like a date!” Mayzin couldn’t help but say as she looked at the two. There was no one around and so she could express herself freely.
“But that aside, my nephew… he…”
Mayzin squinted her eyes as she gazed at Lith’s figure frivolously.
“Doesn’t he look too handsome and manly? What the hell happened in this little time that I wasn’t able to see him? What happened to the cute little boy?”
Mayzin had many questions. When she had a bet with Lilith, she watched Lith for a good while and he appeared like a cute little boy. But now, in just the blink of an eye, he seemed so grown.
To dragons, ten years worth of time was the same as the human’s lunch time. The concept of time was too different for them. Mayzin was this surprised to see Lith to have grown so much so suddenly.
Lith wasn’t a human but a vampire, shouldn’t he grow slowly? What magic occurred in these years? Such were the questions in her mind.
Mayzin then clicked her tongue as she looked at Lith and said, “I should’ve met him when he was in the academy. The little boy doesn’t seem so little now.”
“His height is almost the same as me and his stature is too manly.”
“What a pity…”
Just as Mayzin had this thought, someone’s face appeared in her mind and she frowned while also knitting her brows.
“My thoughts… they make me appear as if I am a shotacon. Damn it. It’s good that Lucifer is not here and she appeared just in my thoughts.”
That’s right, it was Lucifer’s silly face that appeared in Mayzin’s mind that was laughing and calling Mayzin a shotacon.
Knowing Lucifer, Mayzin sure knew that she would do this if she was here. Thankfully she isn’t here and those were just her thoughts.
Or she thought, until…
“I appear in your thoughts? Wow…”
Hearing that startled Mayzin and she immediately turned around to see if who this belonged to was the same person she was thinking of or not.
Turning around, Mayzin saw no one.
“Phew… must be my thoughts.” Just as she was rejoicing, she felt her vision darken and someone wrap their hands on her eyes.
“Guess who?” She heard a familiar voice.
This made Mayzin sigh and she could only curse herself for saying her thoughts out loud.
Why did such a situation occur? She kept thinking.
Of all people… why was there…
“Tsk. Mayzin-chan be a good sport. And why does it appear as if you don’t like me to be here?”
The hand from Mayzin’s face was gone and in front appeared a devilishly beautiful lady with red horns.
Who else could this playful person be other than Lucifer?
Mayzin looked at Lucifer and said while shaking her head, “speak of the devil and she appears…”
“Hey! I am not a devil. I am a demon.” Lucifer corrected Mayzin.
“Right. Right. So, why are you here, Lucifer?”
Lucifer blinked twice as she looked at Mayzin and asked, “Can I not be here?”
“Yes.”
Lucifer knitted her brows and was about to retort when Mayzin continued,
“…not in that appearance at the very least.”
“What appearance?” Lucifer asked, confused.
Mayzin took out a body mirror from out of nowhere and said, “look at yourself.”
Lucifer did as asked and she noticed that she was in a oversized black t-shirt and and gray sweatpants with her glossy black hair falling down on her back in a rough, unkempt manner.
“I don’t see anything wrong with myself. I have learnt from the past and whenever I visit any of my friends, I cover myself fully. Heck, even at home I am wearing something. I have changed!”
Lucifer said it in such a proud manner as if she had accomplished a very difficult task.
It was kind of difficult from her perspective since she was a demon who was free and could do anything she wanted. Having clothes on herself just came in her way and she didn’t like it much. Thus, she was always almost nude.
But things changed after her friends visited her a few times. Lilith was pretty chill with everything and Mayzin too was to some extent, but Agalea had lectured her a lot.
To not listen to her lectures, Lucifer started wearing clothes as Agalea mentioned that her entry being banned in the Vampire Continent was because one of the reasons were her appearance.
Lucifer took it seriously and started wearing clothes because she didn’t want to be distanced from her best friend Lilith.
Mayzin, noticing Lucifer still didn’t understand, sighed.
“You can do anything you want at your home, Lucifer. Nobody is stopping you from it. But make sure to check your appearance properly before visiting other people. It isn’t very lady-like to go out without dressing up.”
Mayzin wasn’t like Agalea. She didn’t lecture Lucifer on wearing clothes when she visited her as that was Lucifer’s home and she could do anything she wanted. She only lectured Lucifer when she visited Mayzin’s place. One such instance was right about now.
“Yeah, Mayzin, I don’t understand. What problem is there? I look completely fine and I also have no skin exposed.” Lucifer pointed at her full sleeves t-shirt and her pants.
Though she didn’t wear any bra or panties, she still had everything covered. Why does Mayzin still have a problem? Lucifer thought to herself.
Mayzin rolled her eyes and pointed her finger towards Lucifer’s secret garden.
“Look at that place. Everything seems to be leaking there. How come you have not noticed that? It’s literally so clearly visible.”
Lucifer wasn’t wearing any panties, Mayzin could tell, and her spot was wet over there. Not only that, there were many such wet spots over that area and it was evident what Lucifer had done before coming over.
Lucifer looked down and suddenly became surprised.
“Oh my… why are there wet spots?”
‘Why is she surprised!?’ Mayzin knitted her brows and thought to herself.
She then couldn’t help but say sarcastically, “you must’ve dropped some water on there probably.”
Lucifer, still gazing towards her bottom, said seriously, “No, I didn’t have any water before coming. It’s probably my cu–”
“Stop!”
Mayzin couldn’t help but say. She failed to understand Lucifer’s intelligence even till this day and didn’t know just what went into her head. She was a Supreme Rank, a being who ruled over so many races and such a big piece of land in this world. Yet, why was she like this?
Lucifer turned to look at Mayzin and didn’t know why she was stopping her. But whatever the case, it doesn’t matter. She didn’t want to get lectured by Mayzin for her appearance and so, she decided to change the topic.
“Right, Mayzin-chan, as soon as I arrived here, I heard you calling yourself a shotacon and my name. Why were you saying that?”
“Are you a perhaps shotacon, Mayzin-chan?”
