Chapter 4 - It's going to be okay, Pammi, get ready for school.

(Arc 2)

April 1st, 2206. It's a bright morning in Paraná, Brazil.

Flary's just waking up while Soundnia is sound asleep. He gets out of bed slowly, not to disturb his lovely wife's beauty sleep. He goes to the bathroom but trips on his tail, luckily, his divine abilities make him float just off the ground to keep quiet, after all, he's a 227-pound man. He hovers his way into the bathroom and takes a shower.

Upon waking up, Mrs. Welsh notices that Flary isn't in bed and goes to the bathroom.

Noticing the door closed, she knocks and asks with sarcasm, "Flary, are you in there?" The sound of running water fills the air, and while Flary remains silent, he knows he's been caught; the assertive and intelligent Kokuen demigod can't resist his clever wife. After a moment, Flary chuckles and reveals his presence, finishing up before using his tail to open the door. "C'mon, babe, you wouldn't want the water to get cold," he says with a smirk, showcasing his cunning nature.

As Soundnia steps inside, she slips on the wet floor created by Flary's tail. In a swift motion, Flary draws upon the divinity of his tail pendants, stopping Soundnia mid-fall and gently hovering her into the shower. "Sorry, honey, I didn't realize I made such a mess," he grins, his playful demeanor intact. Soundnia brushes off the incident, remarking that it's one of the worst pranks he's pulled in a while. Flary lets out a playful whine in response.

The delightful aroma of pão de queijo (cheese bread) and fresh passion fruit juice fills the air whilst Pammi awakens from her slumber. She jumps out of bed, energized by the familiar scents that promise a lovely breakfast. After taking a moment to attend to her hygiene, she quickly gets dressed, filled with excitement about bread and juice. Rushing into the dining room, she can't help but leap into her dad's arms, wrapping him in a warm hug, "Good morning, papa! How are you?"

Responding gently, "Hey there, my little leopard! I'm doing well! You won't believe what we have for you," Soundnia walks in with a warm plate of hams, pão de queijo, and eggs, along with a refreshing pint of passion juice. "Com fome? É hora de comer, minha família! (Hungry? It's time to eat, my family!" Pammi's face lights up with excitement as she exclaims a big "whoa" and jumps for joy. Flary carefully holds her in place to keep things calm. "It looks like our little one is bursting with energy today, huh?"

Pammi nods, Soundnia sets the plate of food on the table, Flary and Pammi both grab their plate excitedly, as if they're the same person. Soundnia sits with her family, also grabbing a plate. They all eat together, a lot less wildly than you'd think.

When it comes to family eating, Flary can be quite sophisticated, Pammi tries to mimic her father, surprisingly, Soundnia is the most aggressive eater, creating messy combos with the ham and eggs, and tearing up the cheese bread. It's a wonderful morning, and Flary helps his daughter get ready for school.

—We cut to Daorey getting a microSD chip on his doorstep, with a note saying "message from Botain". Daorey picks it up without a second thought, although it did seem unusual. When Daorey plugs the SD card into his computer, a notepad opens, reading, "Kaimon has been defeated by supernatural circumstances. I received a telepathic message from a man named 'A.A.S' saying that Kaimon has been dealt with. Make sure to relay this across the military, guards, and Grimsol. The war is officially over."

As Daorey sat in silence, the weight of Botain's message settling over him, the world outside Poland was already moving forward. Daorey swallows his saliva, standing up from his desk to take his mind off the situation. Far from the echoes of panic and divine battles, life in Brazil carried a gentler rhythm.

Pammi, Flary's young daughter, stirred awake to loving parents and tasty food, her morning filled not with news of cosmic entities confirming the defeat of a nation criminal, but with the simple joys of family and school.

While generals and nobles spoke of victory and supernatural forces, Pammi's own battles were significantly smaller yet no less important, getting ready for school and facing potential bullies for being different.

—Back in Brazil, Flary walks out Pammi, placing his hand on her shoulder and chants, " شكّلوا حلقات الضوء وبعثروا الإحداثيات. تزامَنوا وانتقلوا إلى هنا! (Form the rings of light and scatter the coordinates. Synchronize and transport, here!" Pink and white rings of light form around Flary and his daughter, rapidly spinning and transporting them to America at the speed of light.

The elementary school that Pammi goes to is located in North Carolina, one of the best states for child education. This isn't an ordinary school either. This is the Akademia Minos Power (Minos Power Academy). An academy full of extraordinary students, as well as a school for students with cosmic pendents, similar to the tail pendents Flary or Pammi have.

Once they arrive, a huge beam of radiant light scorches the area and dissipates. The ring of scorched ground looks nearly melted due to the equivalent of the sun hitting an area of concrete. To outsiders, it might look terrifying, but here it was simply routine; to the children in line, it was only another morning. The concrete repairs itself, making the ground look good as new, showcasing one of the more unique things about this school. With the other kids in line turning back to the school like nothing ever happened, Flary hugs his daughter and kisses her on the cheek.

And with that, Flary says some words of encouragement before leaving, "My daughter, my little leopard, promise me you won't do anything bad at school, okay? Mommy is gonna have a good meal for us when you get home, so behave." He says, smiling, putting full trust in his daughter. Flary steps away at a safe distance before waving, "We'll see you later, Pammi!" Pammi waves back happily, and Flary teleports back to Brazil.

Pammi felt the morning warmth fading as the school gates loomed ahead. Her day was just beginning.
