Fate Online: Shadow

Fifteen minutes later.

"Okay, we'll stop here," Viper said, as the three of them stopped on the roadside under a large oak tree, with black colored slimes crawling around them.

The place they are currently at is a huge forest mostly consisted of huge oak trees and some redwood trees.

"Alright, we'll meet back here after we're done with our matters," Michael said to Viper, as the latter quickly turned into motes of light and disappeared from their sights.

"What about you? Are you also leaving?" Michael said as he turned his attention to Solitary Tempest.

Solitary Tempest didn't answer him but instead just stared at Michael like she was deeply thinking of something, and the latter also stared back at her as he was confused about why she's just staring at him and not saying anything.

Shua!

"Seriously!? Not even a word? A goodbye wouldn't hurt!" Michael facepalmed at Solitary Tempest's behavior.

After that, Michael also quickly followed after the two and left the game.

Meanwhile.

Viper came out of his gaming capsule that's located in their bedroom with his girlfriend.

Yes, Viper and Olivia had already started living together the next day after the housewarming party at the mansion.

"Damn, it was seriously weird. I felt like that I know that Solitary Tempest from somewhere" Viper murmured as he had some doubts in his mind.

'It was a pity that half of her face was covered by her mask, but I'll probably know who she is if I somehow meet her outside of the game' Viper thought as he had already memorized Solitary Tempest's pair of eyes.

Viper then walked out of their bedroom and headed downstairs, and quickly went to the kitchen to start preparing breakfast for the kids. He wore an apron, took a couple of eggs from the fridge, fried them over the frying pan and toasted a couple of bread.

And just after he was done, two adorable and gorgeous little ladies came walking down the stairs. The tallest of the two girls are wearing navy blue jeans and a white blouse, while the little one is wearing a cute white dress.

They were precisely Olivia's two daughters, Cathy who is fourteen and the seven-year-old Summer.

Both Cathy and Summer inherited their mother's natural red hair and beautiful looks, and Cathy's hair is tied up into a ponytail while the Summer had her hair tied into twin ponytails and she has blue and green eyes that were large and bright, making her absolutely adorable.

Cathy, on the other hand, is also quite the beauty, and her being called the campus queen in their school wouldn't be an exaggeration.

"Goodmorning daddy!"

"Morning, old man"

"Hello, there little one, good morning to you too! Did you have a goodnight's sleep?" Viper smiled and picked up Summer from her feet and place her on her chair.

"I did, I had a dream that I met Santa Claus!" Summer has an elated smile on her face while adorably showing her cute dimples, and Viper can't help but pinch her cute little cheeks.

'She's so cute! That guy who left them must be seriously regretting it now! Hmmph!' Viper thought, while Cathy on the other hand, was already digging on her own breakfast that consisted of two sunny sides up and two toast of bread.

Viper turned his attention to Cathy and asked, "What about you, Thy? Did you have a goodnight's sleep?"

"Ughh! Don't call me Thy old man, that's so annoying!" Cathy groaned in displeasure, while Viper, on the other hand, frowned and thought, 'Don't tell me this girl is actually Michael's daughter? Damn, their personality is so similar that even the way that they call me "old man" is seriously annoying as hell!'

"Fine, I won't call you Thy, but if that bas- I mean that guy comes to your school and tries to talk to you again, make sure to give me a call alright?" Viper said because he knew that their real father had come running over after his failed marriage, and now he wanted to get back with Olivia and start over again, and he's shamelessly doing it through the kids, precisely Cathy.

Sadly for the dude, Cathy seriously hates him to the bones after he had left her and her pregnant mother back then to run away with a younger woman, who was her babysitter back then

.

Cathy's expression darkened and answered back, "I will, and I would seriously give him a punch in the face if he comes to me again"

While Summer on the other hand just continued eating her breakfast and curiously listened from the side as she can't really relate to what the two people are talking about.

And a couple of minutes later, Viper drove the kids towards their respective schools.

"Bye, daddy!" Summer waved goodbye towards Viper, as her teacher escorted her inside.

Viper waved back with a smile on his face before going back to the car, and this time, they are headed towards the direction of Cathy's school.

Just after they had arrived in front of Cathy's school, Viper quickly spotted a very familiar figure at the other side of the road, it was a man standing beside a black Camaro parked along the side of the road.

But Cathy, on the other hand, didn't quickly notice the man, and as just she had gotten down from the car. The man quickly noticed her and came running over towards her, and Viper didn't quickly get out of the car and just stayed inside and watched the man approach Cathy.

"Cathy!" the man called out to her, he was wearing a suit and looked professional and Viper even had to admit that the man looked really good on those clothes.

Cathy, who was now walking with her two friends who were waiting for her earlier suddenly halted in her tracks and frowned when she heard the familiar voice behind her, and her two friends who are also very attractive among their age group also saw the man, and they quickly recognized the person as the two of them quickly stood in between the two, showing how solid their friendship is.
