There's no point locking in this kind of problem. Roku got up, fixing himself, and fetching the two. Slowly opening the door and when his eyes can peek Roku glances for seconds and closes the door again.
They remain sleeping and the three fairies lay on Ilisha's belly, resting.
"Sleep well." Roku left quietly, going outside to start some warm-up.
Stretching arms as staring at the sky. A month living with Sayasha and Ilisha. Seeing their faces when it comes to training and scolding.
But this time, Roku found out another side of their hiding emotion, fear.
"Death, huh?" It draws into their faces the death.
Roku saw himself in them just differently they are afraid of death while he warmly accepts it. Thanks to Sayasha and Ilisha, he found another purpose in life, a reason to live. On the contrary, the two had hoped to live peacefully but the death kept following them.
"Roku! You are just overthinking!" Roku jumped multiple times, clearing his mind.
Jumping high at the speed of light, running around the house.
Releasing a deep breath and calming himself. After sweating Roku takes off his clothes, bathing in the flower shower.
Freezing water that makes Roku feel hot. He discovered the problem they facing is tough. Sayami had the power to destroy anything, the mystery about Sayami's obsession with Ilisha. The rules Sayasha broke. And she broke again.
Those words, rang in Roku's mind, creating a theory that Sayami might be the one who exiled Sayasha from her Palace.
Once again, Roku slaps his face strongly.
"I will."
Showering for minutes Roku went back to Sayasha's room, entered went straight to the wooden wardrobe, and grabbed the clothes.
As Roku wore his casual clothes, Sayasha began getting up, sitting her butt on the bed, staring at Roku's back. Seeing him as he is about to leave. Sayasha couldn't control herself, leaping with a tight embrace.
She knew Roku just changing clothes but in her mind, he was about to leave to face her older sister for her sake.
"R-Ro------"
A gentle caress Sayasha felt on her arms, making her grip loosen.
"Sayasha, lunch is ready, let's go."
"Y-Yeah..."
Roku just pretended nothing happened, erasing Sayasha's sadness. She got up with a smile, holding Roku's hands as they approached Ilisha.
"Ilisha."
"Whoa!"
"W-Wait!"
"Ilisha!"
Calling one time Ilisha's name she got up, causing the three fairies lying on her top to fall on the bed.
While Krinia quickly recovered and flew in front of Ilisha's face, almost crying just seeing her.
"Ilisha!" Krinia called her name again and this time, finally Ilisha smiled.
"Good morning, Krinia. Liz and Liria, let's play again."
"Ilisha, we will wait for you at the table, come after you wash your face."
Ilisha just responded with a cute faint smile and the two left her.
As Roku led the way, he could still see in Sayasha's face the fear, a grip that kept tightening every step.
"Sayasha, do you love me?"
Sayasha halts her walk making Roku stop, looking behind him.
"Ro-Roku..." Sayasha couldn't look straight into Roku's eyes, avoiding contact with him.
"We can finally see our tomorrow."
Sayasha slowly averted her eyes, focusing on Roku's face filled with happiness. The caress on her belly, the rub on her hand. Sayasha remembered the most important Roku wanted to see.
The future where they can live peacefully with their daughter and daughters. Recalling those promises, Sayasha fell in her tears, crying on Roku's shoulders.
This time, Sayasha confesses her feelings.
"Roku, take Ilisha with you. I will always -----" Sayasha stops on her words after Roku tightens her embrace as he tries to suffocate Sayasha.
She had power, and strength to break free from Roku's embrace however she couldn't find the strength.
"Don't say that, Sayasha. Don't say that like you are leaving Ilisha with me."
"B-Bu-----"
Roku felt multiple times Sayasha's lips but this time, this moment. He couldn't feel the love of Sayasha. She throws everything just to save Ilisha and him.
Feeling her cold lips, Sayasha stares behind Roku, on the small flower near the window.
"Since my parents died when I was a child, no one wanted me to stay by their side. I live alone, alone where there's no one supporting my back. And when I came here, I already accepted my death." Roku closes his face at Sayasha. "You show to me the real world."
"Roku..."
"Ilisha and I can't live without you. Let's face your problem together, support my back and I will support your back. If we couldn't escape let's rely upon Ilisha. The one who will support our back. So please, don't say that anymore. Promise to me don't leave Ilisha and I."
"I-I..."
"Sayasha!"
Sayasha didn't respond even though Roku shouted her name weakly but she remained zipping her mouth just glaring at Roku.
"Ma-----"
"Ilisha! Come here!"
"Little Ili"
"S-Sister Ilisha."
The little fairies pull Ilisha's hair as she tries to intervene with her parents. Fortunately, even though Ilisha had power she chose to go back into the room.
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the kitchen, Roku apologizes to Sayasha for raising his voice toward her.
"It's my fault too, Roku. I'm sorry for being weak."
"Then let's become stronger, stronger than your older sister. She might be stronger than you but she is alone. While you, you have me and Ilisha, the monsters living here are in your back, waiting orders to move. Sayasha, you are not aware of yourself but your power is overflowing. Stop drowning yourself."
"But..."
"I couldn't win against my daughter. She always beats me up every time I spar with her. Or try to scratch her skin but I failed. I utterly fail every time I fight here."
"....."
"But thanks to someone I can look forward to every hour staying with her. Sayasha, please believe in yourself and your husband, to our daughter. We can overcome this if we work together. I will be your shield, Ilisha will be our light and you are our sword. Anyone try to shatter our peaceful life let's show them what our capable of, so please don't leave."
"Roku."
"Sayasha."
It gradually faded Sayasha's doubt in her heart. She finally understood there was someone on her side supporting her even if it cost his life. And daughter to see her smile again.
"Thank you, Roku."
"You might goddess but you are just my wife. Wife that scolding your husband and daughter."
Minutes of easing Sayasha's fear, Ilisha appeared behind her, giving a hug.
"Mama, Papa, I love you two."
"Ilisha."
"Ilisha, my daughter."
Meanwhile, inside Sayasha's room, the little fairies couldn't stop crying. Seeing Ilisha and Sayasha they understood how special they were. The Goddess they respect is much more fragile than they thought.
"Sayasha, Ilisha." One more embrace they went into the kitchen to eat lunch together. Roku invites the three fairies, turning their back to him.
They don't want to show to Roku the face of them.
"W-We will..."
"Mr. Roku, you can go first."
"H-Hu... Mr. Roku."
Roku just left them but by the time he walked the three fairies were just behind him.
Thanks to the three fairies the sadness while eating couldn't see, laughing and chatting, teasing Ilisha, and funny story about Krinia.
"Thanks for the food."
"I-I can't believe th-this bread is sweet."
"Liz, you love sweet."
"Hmph! It's average taste, Goddess Sayasha's cooking is much more tastier than this."
"I will...."
"No Mama, stay with Papa here. I'm the one who will wash the dishes, Liria and the others will help me."
Ilisha quickly gathered the dishes halting Sayasha to move. And Roku takes this time, holding her hands and bringing her outside.
"R-Roku... what are you doing..."
"Just stay Sayasha, I will show you something."
Sayasha just let Roku princess carry her, entering the forest. After half an hour of walking, Roku reached the cliff where half of the Senisha forest could be seen.
"It was Krinia who led me to this place. At first, I thought I was just losing but I was wrong. Look at that tallest tree, on that open area. There where I first met with you. At first, I thought you were mocking me."
"R-Roku bring me down."
"And that river. I thought I could soak there freely but I didn't know monsters were living there. It's also Krinia's fault. Sayasha."
Roku sat his butt on the rock, and Sayasha just sit on his lap, watching together the beautiful scenery.
"And because of Krinia I almost explore this entire forest. Just like you said, I couldn't survive here in just a day. And even ants can kill me instantly. How I can win against that ant that is the size of a dragon, and their butt is creating a strong explosion when it dies."
Roku stretches his legs and Sayasha too, leaning on Roku's chest. Hands that held together. "I just fantasize about this kind of place where my special someone leaning against me. But right now it's not just some kind of dream but reality, Sayasha, you..."
"After listening to your excited voice it made me realize who I am. Roku, thanks for coming with me."
"I should be the one who said that. But it felt deja vu."
"Yeah, we already said this."
The two spend time watching the captivating scenery, a silent breeze yet cold, birds singing, and a shiny day.
Sayasha and Roku recall their days since he came here. Laugh, only laugh they hear and some exciting.
"Ilisha began sleeping with us at night."
"And she always embracing you. I'm jealous of you"
"But she ended up on your time when morning came."
"You are right..."
Hours passed they still in their position, forgetting the time until the night came.
"We have three moons right now but there are no single stars even the sky is clear."
"Moonlife, when the three moons appeared the three goddesses watching us over this night."
"It's my first time hearing that."
"Then I will tell you a short ancient story about the Moonlife. In the early age of our world, there were three lost goddesses lost in their way ended up in our world. But at that time, demons, wild beasts roaming evilness wrapped the entire world. The three goddesses decide to eradicate the wickedness, years and years they kept killing demons and friendly creatures existed. Humans, and animals, live under the three goddesses' care. But the demon lord was fed up, waging a war on every territory of the three goddesses. A powerless human died brutally because of that. After finding out the chaos the three goddesses went on a journey to end the powerful enemy, the demon lord and they managed to kill him. Wickedness vanishes and life becomes easy. However the three goddesses couldn't come back and that night too, the three moons appeared."
"So they are the three goddesses?"
"Yeah, they are, the biggest one is Goddess Miara, the second is Goddess Amisha, and the last one is Kazamiya."
"K-Kazamiya?"
"It's not my mother. The name Kazamiya used for a long time. And that name is based on Goddess Kazamiya. Now that the three Goddesses appeared this night, the moonlife means they are still alive somewhere and watching over us. And rumor said that moon we saw they are there, living with life."
Sayasha admires the smallest moon, the Kazamiya moon. She remembers her mother. Roku caressed Sayasha's hand when he saw her smile.
'No one can beat the mother's love, huh? But I'm confused. Sayasha denied Kazamiya but Liria said their mother is Kazamiya. Seems there's a mixture in the story' Roku said to himself. It's his first time seeing Sayasha's smile as her mother reminds her, scolding her.
"And I notice, only the biggest one at night appearing."
"Goddess Miara, the one who can revive the dead. Roku, did you know Goddess Kazamiya and Goddess Amisha died multiple times? Because of Goddess Miara, they remain alive. And because of her power, the two gain immortality."
They just watch the three moons as they stare, and Sayasha asks why there are no stars when the moonlight appears.
"We believe that the stars we see at night are the goddesses who died for a long time. For their respect to the three goddesses they hide letting them enjoy the world they protect."
And Roku added that Goddess can die. Sayasha explains carefully to Roku they can, but only the Goddess or someone superior to them manages to end their life. And not all of the Goddesses are immortal"
"So Sayami is immo-----."
"Roku, I despise my sister, she kills Ilisha's father."
