AUGUST 27TH

The sun enters softly through the curtains of the glass door that overlooks the patio of the house, the summer heat is quite high but there is a playful breeze that sneaks through the open window, the crickets sound loudly among the plants, creating an atmosphere of peace and serenity that I was enjoying, lying on the floor as a way to seek refreshment, a haven of serenity amidst the bustle of the outside world, with my eyes closed I can hear how the place is quite quiet, everyone is busy resting today.

But the knock of keys is made at the door, the lock moves, the door opens, even without seeing I can tell it's my mother just by the way she opens the door and walks, her footsteps suddenly started to sound double, each pair of feet traveling to different places, no doubt it was Lisa stepping out of my mother's shadow now that she had returned safely to the house. I hear the sound of the refrigerator door opening, surely she is looking for the bottle of cold tea, she will serve herself the drink and complain about the heat right after drinking it.

"Heck"

"I can't believe how hot it is today"

"The air conditioner on Xi'an's car broke down and had to take it to be repaired."

"But even though we were driving in the highway with the windows open it was so hot that we had to stop and go into an air-conditioned convenience store to rest."

"...."

"It's too hot, I feel like I'm going to get a headache just looking at the sun."

"I better take a pill before I get vertigo."

"....."

"????"

"What are you two doing on the floor?"

That question was probably directed at me, so I open my eyes to find my mother with a confused and exhausted face, it looks like the sun has taken its toll on her.

"The floor is cold, it's much more refreshing than lying on the couch."

"That's good, but why use Levia's tail as a pillow?"

"Because she was on the floor before me"

"Don't worry about me, I'm comfortable here too,"

"Besides, I think it's also nice to spend some time with my husband, right" said the mermaid, reassuring my mother that she didn't mind being used.

"It fine, I guess, if Levia agrees then so be it"

"...."

"By the way can I ask you something Elise?"

"Not to offend or anything, but if you're going to be naked, could you at least lie on your belly so that your tail covers the important parts?"

"Or at least be modest about showing everything."

"But I'm not naked!"

"You're not wearing pants or underwear!"

"And your underboob shirt barely covers the tips of your breasts, but it looks like they're going to pop out at any moment!"

"Why not just not wear clothes at all, I mean, at least this way you save yourself the trouble of pretending to wear clothes."

"I'm wearing clothes! I always wear clothes!"

"Long socks or that shirt cut down to just the sleeves don't count!"

"You're not even wearing any kind of underwear or bra!"

"It took me a while to notice but as time goes on you dress less and less."

"What's it like to be seen as a slut?"

"What will happen next month? Will you take the role of Momo?"

"She now dresses more than you do right now."

"What if we have an unexpected visitor, that person would walk in and find you naked lying on the floor sleeping?"

"Hey, first of all no one is going to come or open the door, this place is too weird."

"Second, it's getting too hot, the only clothes I can wear are big coats and modified handmade clothes and I don't plan to wear them on a hot day like today, I feel more comfortable like this, I like the comfort, do you have idea how difficult is to live with a big Fox tail full of fur on summer?"

"If it were winter of course the last thing I would do would be not to wear clothes."

"The truth is that the way I dress I look pretty, and I like to look like that, period."

"Besides I risk my life constantly for you, I have the right to do some things like not wearing anything if I want to or dress as slut as I want if that is the case"

"But you literally want to wear nothing or just as naughty as possible"

"Even Lisa at least covers the basics!"

"And don't use the risking your life thing!"

"You can't excuse yourself with being a warrior all the time!"

"Sure I can!"

"The last time I fought I managed to capture an aircraft carrier without anyone's help!"

"Aircraft carrier that by the way the Alliance is taking over to steal as much technology as possible using reverse engineering."

"Technology that you are using to negotiate with other governments."

"So if we look at it from the grand scheme of things, it's thanks to me you have material for your negotiations."

"...."

"Agh, okay I won't do this anymore bloody pervert"

"This is like talking to a wall and I don't want to leave any chance of getting vertigo."

"I'll stop bothering you about your nudism just because the gift carrier has been a real help to the Alliance and my work."

"But that hardly pays for this"

"Oh, before I forget, on the dining room table is the list of things to buy."

"I need more ammunition for my pistols, 9mm Luger."

"Also the Glock I stole in Vienna has a damaged firing pin."

"It can cause serious malfunctions, from not detonating to unintentional discharge."

"There is no solution except to replace the part, but even though it is a Glock and it is easy to get the parts, I have the idea for a small personal project."

"I want to repair the pistol that Rose gave me during the war against the dragons."

"But I need several parts to make it work again."

"So I was thinking of ordering another one to use it as spare parts."

"Beretta 92X Performance special pistol ?"

"I'm no gun expert but that doesn't sound like necessary or cheap."

"Full size pistol and features a steel frame."

"17-round magazine capacity and uses the 9x19mm Parabellum or 9mm Luger caliber, whatever you want to call it."

"4.9-inch barrel"

The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.

"a double-action action system and a manual decocking lever"

"Ambidextrous safety on the frame"

"Picatinny rail"

"Rose gave me this pistol as a gift during the war against the Dragoons, is a Limited Edition in black"

"It's had a lot of use and has at least 10 years collecting dust in storage."

"I have to replace several parts to get it working again, but being such a limited edition pistol it is not easy to get parts"

"And it's not like I have the registration on this one to order parts from the factory."

"But this year's 92X Performance special version has all the parts I need."

"But that's a competition and tournament sharpshooting variant, so it has some unnecessary things like an oversized magazine release and another oversized take-down lever."

"Besides being much less durable because it is designed to have less weight."

"Both are pistols that make bang, I do not understand the differences you are talking about or why I should buy a version 8 times more expensive than the military edition that is in the armory of the base."

"The Army Beretta M9 is not compatible with my weapon."

"The Beretta 92X Performance special is made to be disposable."

"And the Beretta 92 FS Fusion that I have in a super limited edition so it is difficult to find parts for it, but in exchange it is so robust and resistant that for instance this bad girl has never seen a single drop of gun oil and it still works"

"Of course, it's better to leave it as good as new, I don't want it to fail when I have a bad day."

"Still, it's not like it's cheap, we're talking about buying a limited edition just for spare parts."

"Wouldn't you be better off with any other pistol from the base armory instead?"

"There's more to my story!"

"This is an original handmade Beretta!"

"Yes, I imagine like the rest that they sell!"

"No, that's not the point!"

"Beretta is a firearms manufacturer with more than 500 years of history."

"It's something important, it's not a coincidence"

"Well, such a long time is certainly unprecedented, but why is it so important?"

"Well Beretta has been in the market for so long for more than just making firearms."

"They make guns for the Vatican church."

"For their hunters specifically"

"So their more limited guns are actually a way to disguise the guns created and shipped for the demon hunters."

"The Beretta 92 FS Fusion is one of these limited productions."

"So it's a gun that shoots silver bullets?"

"Well, to be honest, any gun can shoot that."

"This one is more of the style, it makes common bullets do +10 holy damage against supernatural things."

"Forged on the night of a full moon, under the guidance of ancient gregorian chants, metals taken from ancient reliquaries, symbols of protection and exorcism inside the frame and firing mechanism."

"Holy this, blessed that and more such weird stuff blah blah blah"

"The whole package and stuff"

"This gun was very useful for me to fight ghost dragons."

"You have a goddess as a wife by your side all the time, why would you want a holy weapon?"

"Can't she just bless you a common weapon you already have?"

"For the same reason that a goddess exists, it is also possible that a lord of hell could appear."

"It is better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it."

"Okay, I'll try to see what I can do."

"I'm sure Xi'an would know how to buy that."

"But don't expect anything"

"You still have another one, right?"

"...."

"What else is on the list?"

"An emotion detector set for dogs?"

"Who the fuck wants this? Why?"

"How does it even work?"

"Kasumi and Chalotte get along really badly with the dogs in the neighborhood."

"They tend to bark at the twins whenever they see them, so they are probably looking for something to get along better with them."

"Well, they can do it in the traditional way, it will help them to continue learning to be human."

"Request denied"

"For a start, where could they sell something like that?"

"...."

"What else is on the list?"

"Soap, bath salts, yeah that's easy."

"200 LITERS OF PIG'S BLOOD!!?"

"LISA!!!!"

"What the hell?"

"What crime do you have in mind to do this time?"

"No, no crime this time."

"I just wanted to take a bath, so I asked for blood to fill the bathtub."

"But don't worry, I know how hard it is to ask for human blood."

"So I asked for pig's, I'm sure it's much easier to get, isn't it?"

"Absolutely Denied."

"And bathe yourself right now!"

"...."

"Agh, ok, my fault for not remembering that Lisa is just straight up madness in girl form."

"I better get this over with quick"

"...."

"200 liters of windshield washer!?"

"And now who's the moron!"

"Ah that was me"

"Since Lisa was thinking about making a space bath for herself, I thought maybe I could have my own special bath too."

"And since the window soap works so well on the glass" said momo, who was sitting in the courtyard.

"Classic soap and water also works."

"Petition Denied"

"....."

"200 liters of bleach"

"....."

"....."

"And now who did it?"

"Well, I've heard how the other two want to make their weird baths."

"And since it's in the bathtub where I sleep, I should clean it thoroughly after they use it."

"Levia, you are a fish, the bleach could kill you."

"In fact, with so much chlorine you could kill us all."

"The bleach is something that is in short use."

"So no, I'm not going to buy chlorine on an industrial level."

"...."

"What's next, what's going to be next?"

"...."

"200 kilos of soil and compost"

"....."

"Who's planning to bury a body? Because that's how you bury a body."

"Oh well, since everyone was thinking of using so many weird things in the tub I thought it would be unusable."

"So I was thinking of turning it into a small vegetable garden to test a couple of new plants"

"Tifa, just look out the window, the yard has plenty of soil."

"What's wrong with all of you!?"

"Why the fuck are bullets and a gun the most normal thing on this list?"

"This house is becoming more and more like a madhouse with all of you."

"Why don't you behave like normal people for a while?"

"That the trans likes to be naked, the robots want to be veterinarians, that the crazy one thinks about bathing in blood, the angel thinks she's a window, the mermaid wants to kill herself with poison gas and the fairy tries to hide a murder,"

"The next one who even mentions the bathtub will be punished."

"Hey, I'm done bathing, I left the bathtub with the water full for the next one who wants to take a bath."

"MARIA, GO TO YOUR ROOM! YOU'RE PUNISHED!"

"WHAT!!! WHAT DID I DO?!?"

My poor mother, tired of so many things and the heat of the day, took it out on my sister who was completely innocent, both ended up fighting for the rest of the day, it seemed that this time we had finished with the patience of poor Adelis. Even so, for the rest of the afternoon nothing else happened apart from surviving the heat. It was still a couple of days before the meeting in South Korea but we are already preparing our things, also the back-to-school is getting closer and closer, and I will probably have to miss a couple of days because of that meeting. By the time the night fell, I could still feel the effect of the heat, it was so much that Lisa don't want to sleep in the closet and preferred to sleep in the living room, not even Tamamo, who also refused to use her fox form because in the middle of the night while I was going to the bathroom I found her sitting looking out the balcony window, She seemed surprised to see me, she thought it was another one of my bad nights, but after I told her that I was fine she was glad and we went to get some more cold tea to fight the heat before going back to sleep.
