Minerva's pov

The trip to the Crocus Hotel would take a few hours by plane but Ms. Irene wanted the trip to be an adventure so she drove.

Erza tried to get me to talk to them but I was too busy looking out of the window. I overheard them talking about Erza's girlfriend who lived in Crocus and how we might see her on our free time.

'Seriously how could she have a girlfriend or even a lover with the job they had? Wouldn't that be a difficult thing to keep since we always put our lives at risk to help others.'

Just then Ms. Irene spoke.

"Alright, you two maybe sometime in the future it would be great if one of you would allow me to be a grandmother."

I just looked at her confused while Erza looked at her mother in embarrassment.

"Mom!"

Ms. Irene smiled.

"What? I'm not getting any younger."

Erza looked away.

"Don't you think you're going far ahead into the future? We're not even 22 yet."

I just looked at them not worried. I didn't see what the big deal was. Ms. Irene was a parent but at first glance I'm sure anyone would think that she and Erza were sisters. But still, why does she insist that I become her child as well? She's aware of how I am so why would she want a person like me to be her daughter? Well I do owe her my life, she saved me and trained me. I must repay her in what she wants, but how?

When we got to the hotel all three of us went to our rooms.

The suite we were in had three rooms so it was more like an apartment.

I looked at Ms. Irene who patted my head.

"You two have a look around but be back in the hotel by 7. We're going to be staying here for a week or so."

We nodded. Erza left the suite then I looked at Ms. Irene who went to take a seat in the common area of the suite and took out her laptop.

"Ms. Irene?"

No answer, I figured I was being quiet so I tried to get her attention again.

"Ms. Irene?"

Still nothing then I frowned.

"Mother?"

As if she heard me that time.

"Yes?"

"My people skills need help, what do I say?"

She nodded.

"True, but the girl you saved from the last train seemed to like you enough. If I'm not mistaken you have her number right?"

I nodded and took a seat across from her.

"I did but a couple of days after that I never messaged her. I just don't what to say and I feel like if I do say something to her she would relive everything that happened on that train."

"What makes you say that?"

I lowered my gaze.

"Because every time I go anywhere near train tracks I am reminded of my mothers and the accident. On top of that My father stills blames me for everything."

She nodded then smiled.

"Alright. Text her a 'Hello there, just checking on you. I'm out of the hospital.' That should be good enough for her."

I looked at her then Ms. Irene got her phone out.

"Here's to motivate you."

She showed me a video of me still passed out but next to me was Yuki. She was holding my hand whispering 'thank you' to me and then my eyes widened when the video showed her kissing my forehead.

After that I looked at Ms. Irene who smiled.

"You saved your damsel in distress."

I nodded then got my phone out and sent the text.

Me: Hey it's the girl you kissed in the hospital. I'm just checking to see how you're doing and I'm out of the hospital.

After that I left the hotel and went to the bar area when I got there I saw Erza at one of the tables

As I was in there I spotted Erza and I noticed that there were a lot of bars and clubs near the hotel but what really got my attention was how crowded they looked from the outside.

My concern grew when I thought of what would happen if a fire were to break out. Everything would be engulfed in flames.

Yukino's pov

I was at work for the night at the Crocus Hotel and while I was working Lucy stopped by.

"Hey Yukino, how was the trip?"

I looked at her.

"It was fun until the fire part."

She nodded.

"I heard, are you staying overnight?"

"Yep."

Lucy smirked.

"So did you meet anyone cute, up there?"

I blushed.

"Yep. the girl who saved everyone."

Lucy giggled.

"Come on, details."

I felt my phone vibrate and checked it only to be in surprise to see a text from the girl who saved me.

"She just texted me."

"Well text her back."

I blushed but did so.

Yuki: I'm okay. Thank you. I'm glad you're out of the hospital.

Lucy smiled.

"What does she look like?"

"She's beautiful, like exotic."

Lucy blinked.

"Like from another country?"

I nodded then my eyes saddened.

She only knew a part of my name but I don't what hers is.

Just then Lucy looked over her shoulder.

"Yukino, my girlfriend's here. Come with me so I can introduce you."

I nodded. The bar was currently empty so I could step away.

We both went to the table that Lucy's girlfriend was at. Her girlfriend was a little taller than Lucy and she had scarlet hair.

"Hey Erza."

Her girlfriend, Erza looked behind her and smiled.

They hugged then Erza looked at me.

"Oh, you work here. I'm glad you're okay. I'm Erza."

I smiled.

"I'm Yukino."

Erza nodded.

"Minerva's doing well."

"I'm glad."

All three of us sat down at the table and Lucy smiled.

"So Erza what brings you here?"

Erza smiled.

"I came with my mother and sudden adopted sister."

She blinked.

"Really? I can't wait to meet them."

"They're in our suite."

Lucy smiled.

"Really? What do they look like?"

I glanced over and blushed.

"Her mother looks just like her but with longer hair and the other one is the girl that saved me."

Erza nodded then glanced up, looking past us.

"Speaking of the sudden sister, here she is."

Lucy and I looked over our shoulders to see the girl that saved me coming our way. of the bar to see the girl I had bumped into and my eyes widened a bit.

Lucy smiled.

"So beautiful."

I nodded.

Minerva looked at us and I rose to my feet.

"Good to see you again."

She blinked the nodded.

"Y-yeah same to you."

Lucy and Erza both had a smug on their faces. I then looked looked at her.

"I'll get your drinks ready."

Minerva blushed.

"Um, you got any coconut flavored drinks."

I got out a notepad and began writing.

"We have a few but I'll make you a special one, okay."

Minerva blinked then nodded.

I turned to Lucy and Erza who ordered regular drinks then left.

While I was making the drinks I made a special crafted one for Minerva. I figured she wasn't one for drinking so I kept the alcohol on the low while I made the other drinks.

When I was done I went to the table only to see that they looked uneasy.

"Is something wrong?"

I set the drinks down and Lucy looked at me.

"Jenny is here."

I paused then nodded. I sat next to Lucy then Erza's sister looked at me.

"So um, Yuki?"

I looked at her.

"Yes?"

"What time are you off?"

"At 2 am."

"I'll walk you home."

I blushed.

"I'm staying in the hotel tonight."

"Then I'll walk you to your room."

She nodded.

After we chatted some more they left and I was back at work.

A few hours later my shift was over.

When I stepped into the Lobby I saw Minerva sitting down, waiting for me. I blushed then she came to me.

We both left to my suite.

"Are you sure you're okay. My suite is kind of far."

She frowned but not at me.

"Your friend Lucy told Erza and I about this Jenny person on how she would stalk after you in a bad way."

I nodded then we made it to my suite and I looked at her.

"Thank you."

She nodded.

"I feel awkward not learning your name on my own, so may we start our introductions over?"

I blushed but nodded.

"I'm Yukino."

"I'm Minerva."

"Goddess of war, wisdom and creativity."

She just looked at me and I looked away.

"Sorry, it's something I do whenever I hear rare and nice name."

"To be like snow."

I looked at her and her gaze softened.

"That is your name meaning."

I blushed then nodded.

"Minerva, do you like tigers?"

"Yes."

"Alright."

Minerva turned to leave.

"Sleep well, Yukino."

"You two."

With that I watched her walk away until she turned the corner and I went into my suite.
