You have a choice {247}

Time skip.

The next day, as the sun made its way through the tall arched windows, it cast a warm glow over the large room.

The seal that Keitaro had placed in the room, feeding the two kids full of natural energy to strengthen theirbody.

As Maki stirred awake, strangely she felt, full of life and full of energy, she didn't know where the energy came from, she just felt like her sense were more in tune than they were usually.

Though even so full of energy, she refuse to leave the bed, it was so warm and cozy, she would rather stay there, the bed needed her, yeah that.

She turned around to look at her twin sister.

Mai was knocked out, and cold.

Hugging a teddy bear as she slept in a pajamas.

Maki groans internally. It has only been a few hours, and yet Mai has already let her guard down.

She sighed a bit.

She then got out of bed and stretched her body a bit just in case she got sore.

She did like 3 jumping jacks, yup, she felt full of energy, the air felt different, her scent felt different, from the corner of her eyes, she felt like she could see more.

Her step had more bounce to it, her skin felt clearer.

Well, that was enough self-glazing.

She walked to where her sister was sleeping slightly before the edge of the bed.

"Hey, Wake up,"

"Mmmph... five more minutes," Mai mumbled into her pillow.

Yeah, she was not getting her five minutes.

She started shaking her sister awake.

"Get up, get up"

"I am awake," Mai said her eyes still close.

"Yeah sure"

"Yes."

This little back and forward went on for a while, and eventually, Mai fully woke up.

Maki meanwhile was pondering on what she had heard from the Kitsune.

"Another strong sorcerer."

"If you don't get up, I am pouring cold water on you" Immediately Mai got up, just the slight chance it may happen got her acting like this

However if what she felt today was just a taste of the kind of power she can gain access to.

A smile appeared on Maki's face, maybe having a teacher wasn't such a bad idea, she would get plenty strong.

She clenched her fist, now this was strength.

Pov change

Keitaro could be seen cooking in the kitchen, he was making something good if the wonderful smell of something sizzling in the air was anything to go by.

Just smelling the food had Mai's Stomach rumbling...loudly.

Maki however said nothing acting as if she was unimpressed.

As they entered the open Kitchen, they saw Keitaro by the stove, he was flipping what seemed to be an omelet with practiced ease, at the same time he was also making some bacon, and at the same time, he was making toast.

He was like a blur, they could see 3 Keitaro in the kitchen all three being real in a sense, they were all Keitaro, not clones, just his afterimage.

He was already dressed casually—black shirt, loose gray pants—giving him a surprisingly laid-back demeanor. Plates were already set on the long dining table, filled with an assortment of food: scrambled eggs, grilled fish, steamed rice, and even some fresh fruit on the side.

"Good morning," he greeted them with a smile, his tone was light but very cheerful. "Hope you two slept well, Sorry if the room was a bit small"

....

Did...he...just say....the room was small.

Upon seeing the look on their face he opened his mouth and said.

"Well you see I didn't really think I would have guessed over so soon, so the room was kind of used beforehand as like my office, had to set it up quickly"

"You were with us the whole time, when did you get time to do this?" Maki suddenly asked, she was sure, Keitaro was with them the whole time.

"Oh, I did it while Akane was leading you to the room," He said with a smile.

...

...

...

How fast was this man?

"Though I didn't know what color you two liked so I kept the room blank"

....

Note to self, their new caretaker was fast, way too fast.

"What's with all this?" she asked suspiciously.

Upon seeing how she looked at the food, he looked amused.

"It's called breakfast. You do eat, right?" He said in a rather joyful voice.

"I meant all the food," Maki muttered, though she reluctantly sat down next to Mai.

Keitaro turned off the stove and brought over the last plate, sliding it in front of them with a smile. "Training starts today, so you'll need to eat something nutritious. You won't get stronger if you're running on empty."

Mai blinked at him. "Training? Already?"

"I am not forcing you to do anything really, it's your choice really, you can either choose to do it or not"

"And if we don't we will have the entire Zenin house breathing down her neck" Maki added sarcastically.

"For that to happen, both I and Gojo would need to die, and that is very unlikely, so unless the Zenin clan wants to be a part of the distant past, no, there is no pressure"

Shoko could be seen rushing slightly, she took a toast and some bacon, and rapidly ate it before taking a scroll with her name on it.

"Almost overslept," She said in a slightly hurry voice.

As She walked by Keitaro she gave him a kiss before saying.

"See ya later"

Keitaro had that love-stricken look on his face....man looked like she had place a spell on him.

Well, Mai may have found her tickets to getting stuff, he wouldn't say no to his fiance unless it was something he was firmly against, actual school, here we go.
