Chapter 112: The Princess and the Pink Beast

“I won’t do it!” Yuhima’s voice had cracked with emotion in the flashback. “If you try to pressure me into this marriage, I will leave this house and never look back. Besides, no one even knows the Head of the Ryuzaki Clan has a daughter. You kept me hidden for ‘safety,’ right? Well, now use that secrecy to let me live my own life!”

Her father had stood there, his face like stone. “I did it to protect you, Yuhima. And you aren’t leaving this house.”

The memory faded as Yuhima looked at Xyron, who was sitting just a few feet away, completely oblivious. ‘I fought my parents for you, Xyron…’ she thought, a pang of sadness hitting her heart. ‘But would it even matter to you if I married someone else? Do you even have a heart for anyone?’

“Xyron,” Yuhima said, breaking the silence. “What happened? You’ve been quiet.”

“Nothing. Just thinking,” Xyron replied.

“So… do you like anyone? I mean, Maki’s friends were pretty intense. What do you think of them?”

Xyron scoffed, leaning back. “Absolutely not. They’re kids, and Maki is just being her usual crazy self for suggesting it. I have enough problems without adding a girlfriend to the list.”

[Scene Shift: The Main Hall]

Downstairs, the atmosphere was chaotic. Maki’s friends had finally left, leaving a mountain of wrapping paper behind. Kim, looking a bit nervous, pulled an official-looking file from his pocket.

“Maki, I wanted to give you something… meaningful,” Kim said, handing her the papers. “I bought a commercial building in the city center. It’s in your name. You can use it for whatever you want.”

Maki stared at the file as if it were a poisonous snake. “A building? Kim, why would I want a building? I’m a student! I’m not taking this.”

“But Maki, it’s a prime investment—”

“I said NO!” Maki shouted, making Kim jump.

From the top of the stairs, Xyron and Yuhima were leaning over the railing, muffled laughter escaping their lips. Maki looked up, her face turning red with embarrassment and rage. “What are you two laughing at?! Xyron, come down here right now, I’m going to teach you a lesson!”

“Whoa, look!” Xyron pointed toward the driveway, trying to distract her. “Kim brought something else!”

Maki turned around, ready to scream again, but the words died in her throat. Parked right outside was a sleek, aggressive Supercar—painted in the most vibrant, glossy Neon Pink she had ever seen.

“A… pink car?” Maki’s eyes widened. The “No” she was about to scream turned into a high-pitched “Woooo!” in a split second. She bolted out the door and jumped into the driver’s seat, gripping the steering wheel. “I want this! This is definitely mine!”

Yuhima watched from the balcony, shaking her head. “She doesn’t act like the Head of a Clan at all. She’s like a little kid.”

Xyron smiled, but it was a sad, nostalgic smile. “Don’t let the excitement fool you. When she gets truly angry… she hits just as hard as our dad used to. She’s a Gozzaki, through and through.”

As Xyron watched his sister celebrate, Yuhima caught the look in his eyes. He looked happy, but his hand was still subtly clutching his side—a reminder that the “Soul Disease” was still ticking like a time bomb inside him.

Editor’s Comment:

The juxtaposition of the Ryuzaki-Gozzaki rivalry against this lighthearted birthday scene is brilliant. Xyron thinks he is protecting Maki by giving her the Clan, while Yuhima is protecting Xyron by defying her father. But the most dangerous element is Kim—he is literally trying to ‘buy’ a place in the family. With Xyron losing his powers, this pink supercar might be the last piece of ‘normalcy’ they ever get.
