When Zero and Albion reached their home, the house's mess could not be describe using words as the place looked like it had been abandoned for weeks even though the couple only left for about three hours.

"Zero… No… Akira Yano! Look at this mess!"

"I know! I know!"

Akira immediately picked up the clothes on the floor in a fast pace but something happened. He got tripped by the chair and fell down along with the piles of dirty clothes.

"You know that my mom is coming over tonight, right?"

"Yes. Yes."

Akira immediately got up from the mess and went straight to clean up the dishes first before taking out the trash.

Albion went to clean the dusts with the speed that was near the speed of sound. Even though their apartment was considered a luxurious one considering the fact that half of the planet got infected with the mutant beasts that was unleashed upon humanity.

Humanity was forced to live in the wall like caged animals when the invaders took their lands day by day and week by week. The paranormals were all in coma due to an unknown reason.

However, despite the hopeless condition of humanity there were still a few surviving veteran who escaped from the paranormal purge. The black and white couple was in fact the top paranormal that defended the city from those ugly creatures.

The identity of these couple in fact remained hidden not just from the public but also from the government as well. Albion after all a public idol and people would worshipped her.

Fortunately, her civilian identity was a secret or else those nasty elites would take advantage or blackmailed them to do their bidding.

Akira slipped out during the cleaning process to a abandoned factory within the city wall. The factory had an unstable structure due to the rusting. Normal human would be dead when the building collapse but to him, this was just a child play.

In fact, Akira had a secret that not even Albion knew about it, something big that would made even the ruling elites wanted him. The youth had undergo a series of hellish training, something that would make ordinary person fall unconscious just by hearing the training environment.

The mantle Zero was an inheritance, given to him by his master, the black figure who found him as a child when the SAD incident took place. His parents were among the victims that mutated and the mutation robbed them of their common sense, leaving only the animalistic instinct.

He remembered the moment when a black figure appeared before him. The darkness which surrounded the world and he was cornered in his own home by his mutant parents. He also got affected by the radiation at that time.

"Boy, do you despise the world that much?"

When that question emerged all the sudden, he only saw a pair of legs walking toward him in a very elegant manner. Not only that, the sight of the duo mutants fell dead was also caught his attention.

"Do you desperately desire such power?"

"Aaaahhh!"

"Power… to break… the shackles of the world!"

Hearing the child's answer, the figure chuckled for a few seconds before he shoved into the former's mouth his blood, forcing him to drink the bitter taste liquid. The blood did not cure him instead it made his body adaptable to the environment and the radiatian made his body evolved further than the rest of the paranormals.

"Welcome to the otherworld, my son."

He was still in his Zero outfit. He made sure that no human or any electronic device was present in the scene to prevent the possible leak of information.

He had a blue ring on his left finger which he used to transmitted information. After the transfering had been completed, he went back stealthly, trying to avoid from getting scold.

"Aki, where have you been?"

"Umm… getting fresh air?"

'There's no way, I'll tell her that I call someone important.'

When she tried to interrogate him, a doorbell rang, alarming the couple. She told Akira to get the door and that was when the mind blowing took place.

When Akira went to open the door, someone or rather a child was standing in front of him and she was about one-third of his height. Her appearance look exactly like his lover and people would definitely asked this question first.

"Emm… are you president's little sister?"

"It's been a while Aki-chan."

"You've grown since the last time I saw you."

When Akira saw her energetic behaviour, he just sighed in defeat. When the mini Albion entered the house, she brought a luggage which was nearly identical to her height.

'How do you even carry such thing?!'

Akira's mind was shouting like crazy. His jaws were wide opened due to the shock that he recieved from the president's 'little sister.'

Albion came to greet her guest and the very word that 'shut down' Akira's mind was this unexpected word.

"Mom, why didn't you call us?"

"You know we could've pick you up, right?"

"Sorry. Sorry."

Akira was speechless because he never met his mother in law but the fact that she not only looked like a child but also act like one was truly unbelievable.

'Mom… you said?'

'How the heck did she even give birth?!'

"It's just that I wanted to make a surprise for the newly married couple!"

Akira tried to maintain his calmness when his inner self was raging like a volcano eruption. His inner self was scratching his head like crazy trying to comprehend the current situation.

'What do you think this? Anime or what!'

The youth asked something to his mother in law. His poor common sense got smashed as time passed because he felt that reality was literally playing a cruel joke on him.

"Excuse me, ma'am-"

"Just call me mom, Aki-chan!"

"It's been a while since I last saw you when you're just a cute baby."

'Seriously!'
