{I miss this book, so I decided to write a bonus chapter!
Also, lol 69}
Maria was going home to her home in Azuchi Kingdom after a long day of work as a Colonel.
She sighs.
"Ah, what a day." She whispers to herself.
Meanwhile, Kiku and Kuro are hiding in a pillar, chuckling.
"We should make her happy." Kuro said.
"Hai, I know." The other twin replied.
"What is the prank, too?" Kuro asked Kiku.
He smirked.
"Water. We'll drop water at her." He said.
His red-eyed twin smirks.
"Nice plan, otōto." He complimented.
Luka, meanwhile, was in the house, tailoring her husband's kimono.
"My daughter!" She called out with a smile.
Maria walks to her home.
"Hello, mother." The colonel greets.
At his moment, Takadatsu walks in.
"Otōsan!" Maria exclaims and hugs him.
"How is my brave daughter?" He asked with a grin.
Kiku and Kuro flinched a little.
"..Shit." Kuro mentally cussed.
"Kiku, distract those three. I'm going to get water..." He said, sweating.
He walked out, and Kiku went in the house.
"Okaasan, otōsan, would you mind if you want you daughter some privacy?" Kiku said in a quiet tone.
The two nods and went to their garden.
Maria smiles.
"Nīsan, are you happy that Lieutenant Azayaka agreed to have good relations with us?!" Maria happily announces while jumping a little.
Kiku widens his eyes.
"Really?!"
"Yeah!"
Kuro, Luka and Takadatsu were on the rooftop.
"Be quiet, Kuro!" Takadatsu and Luka warns. The latter nods and holds a bucket of water.
"Prank time." Kuro whispers, and pours out the water from the hole he made, and the water outright splashes Maria!
Kuro jumps off the rooftop and he went inside.
"Whoops. I think there was a flood here." Kuro said, teasingly.
The three siblings burst with laughter.
"Nice one!" Maria said and gets a towel and wipes herself.
"But even if you're older than me, I shall punish you." Maria said, sternly.
Kuro smirks.
"Then what is it--"
Maria then punched her older brother at the stomach.
"OUCH!"
Maria giggles.
"I would take you out all day."
