*NO TITLE*
(Author notes: In chap 35, I made some mistakes and put the wrong item in the gacha draw. Thank you, reader, for reminding me, and I'm sorry I was in too hurry to catch it. The chapter is only edited in that part, so recheck it.)
<MC POV>
All our family members are sitting together to watch mom's acting on the TV drama, and after patiently waiting for some time, we just got a glimpse of our mom, and that's all. Damn, I forgot that entertainment companies are too dark. It resolves my intention to create my own production company, but the problem is that I don't have any actors or anything. Only the face value of my Shadow Soldiers can be used as magazine models and other things, but for actors, I have only one choice, and that is either bribing or blackmailing.
First, I will try to bribe some actors, and if it doesn't work, I will blackmail them. And I will not treat any employees unfairly and will give them money according to their hard work.
The next issue is scripts and other stuff, which is the simplest thing ever. I just have to use some movie ideas from my past lives, and I can write scripts in my free time.

After a few days,
We are again on set, but this time Aqua will be acting. This director is more obsessed with Aqua; this director is too SUS. Anyway, now I have to babysit Ruby. Damn, why are you crying like a spoiled child? I raised my hand in a knife position.
*THUMP*
"Nee-San, you are bullying me."
"Don't say that in a weird way."
*THUP*
"HEY, THIS IS A PRO LINE OF WORK; IF YOU ARE HERE TO PLAY, GO HOME."
Aqua came at the right time.
"Umm?"
"I am Arima Kana; I am your partner today."
"Oh, wait, isn't she..."
"Uh, what's she called again..."
"A child genius who can lick a lying snitch"
"FLICK A CRYING SWITCH!"
"Pfft, that was a good joke. Oh, sorry about that. You can continue."
And she kept showing off like that, but the last sentence she said about Ai pissed me off.
"ONII-CHAN."
"I KNOW SHE IS A BRAT; I WOULDN'T KILL HER."
"Oi, your faces are telling otherwise, BUT SHE GOTTA PAY FOR IT."
Later on, I had to babysit Ruby while Aqua went for his role. On Aqua's return from set, I found Arima crying and Aqua giving a serious face. After asking Aqua about it, he told me everything.

After one year,
Ai is almost 20 years old, and we are 4 years old and have recently joined the preschool. And aside from Aqa asking about each other's life experiences, I told him some details about Hunter world building, which made them realise that I didn't come from any peaceful world and that fantasy worlds are not peaceful.
Besides, I found Ruby somewhat sad after the festival was declared in preschool. But it was later taken care of by Ai. Most likely, Ruby is aiming to be like Ai, but she still needs to understand society like Aqua.
Later that night, I found Ruby sneaking out of the room. I followed her, and she found herself trying to dance again and again while she moved more gracefully and perfectly. I noticed Aqua also came out and was stunned by Ruby's performance.
I was thinking Ruby's moves were a little bit familiar, but now seeing Aqua, I understand she is perfectly mastering the same moves as Ai. I think she has always dreamed of dancing freely like Ai in her previous life.

Some days later,
<AI POV>
I only had one parent, but she was caught in theft and was later bailed, but she left me like that. I spent my life in an orphanage without being loved. But one day someone from the idol company came to recruit me and told me that lying is a skill in itself. So I kept lying to everyone so that one day my lie would become true.
And finally, I have my own cute family, but still, I cannot express my feelings to them because it feels like I dumped them like the rest of the world. But I will make sure that my children will never suffer from a lack of love.
One day, when my children were talking about who their father was, I was a little worried. But even so, for my children, I want to be a little selfish and call that man again. After calling him and informing him about it, I went towards my children to take care of them.
My children sure are geniuses; one can dance gracefully, one can become a child actor, and the last one, even if she is less active, takes care of both her siblings in my absence, but still, I should avoid her from becoming addicted to laptops. Wait, where did the laptop come from? Anyway, who cares? My children are just too sweet.
Ding Dong.
I think he has come.
(A/n: No, Yamete Kudasai.)
I opened the door to find a stranger in a black hoodie with a bouquet of White flowers.
"Ai, Congratulations on your performance at the Dome. How are the triplets?"
He took out a knife behind the boutique and went to stab me.
*TANG*
And a flying frying pan intercepted the stranger by hitting him on the head. Wait, was there another person here? I tilted my head out the door on the left and saw a dark purple-haired woman with purple eyes rushing towards us.
"Miss Hoshino, nice to meet you. I am Aya Tokoyogi. I am from the Gem Star Production Company. I came here to recruit you for our new movie, but it seems like I was here at the perfect time."
"Err, where did the pan come from?"
"Miss Hoshino, it is just self-defence protocol."
'Like hell, I would believe that, but still, I can survive to see my children grow.'
"Miss Hoshino, I have called the police and will be coming any minute. I suppose we will talk about our offer the next day. Just call this number. I will leave after the police reach here."
_______________________________________________________
<MC POV>
Just as I planned, when mom called our dad, I was too worried about it, so I kept tracking Ryosuke's number, finally got the information from the call, and prepared for it. And damn, that asshole got away again because he called from a public booth, and even after checking the call log in Ai phone, I got the number being deactivated. And even when I searched for the person the number is registered with, I found none.
I think our father is not that simple and might have some connection with the supernatural world, due to which he can erase every piece of evidence like Raynare did with Issei. Anyway, Mission Rescue Mom is successful, and I informed both Aqua and Ruby about it. And they were too energetic about killing that asshole. I suppose I should stop with this negative talk and talk about some positive things, and I don't want both of them to become revenge freaks like Sasuke.
Anyway, our Gem Star company became a little famous with Dramas, some anime movies with real adaptations, and other random stuff. Later on, it became famous because of the real-life adaptation series of Death Note, the Your Name movie, Godzilla, etc., and is at the top of the list in the entertainment world for its creativity.
And we are suspected by various production companies that we hold hidden technology because of our better quality and VFX. Anyway, Just know that the company has become famous enough due to its VFX and creativity.
And with Aya's help, Ai got recruited for the company with a contract stating that she would only be working for this company with enough salary to live her life smoothly, and she recruited Saitou as one of the employees. And it was too hard to recruit Saitou, but after promising many of his conditions, like handling all Ai schedules and others, he finally accepted.
Later on, I tried to get Taishi Gotando because I trusted Aqua with Gotando's skills. And somehow, Aya was able to convince him and form more connections with some better members through Gotando.
__________________________________________________________________
After three years,
Our daily lives have completely improved, and Ai has stopped her Idol job and is now working as an actress. She later spent time with us. Aqua is now interested in becoming an actor, and Ruby is cheerful as always.
Now, I am sitting in front of Aqua and Ruby with a spectacle.
"Today forward, your training will start."
"So are we going to learn magic or something?"
"Nah, first you will eat these two pills, first the black one, then the red one."
Both of these pills are body cleansing and mana vein opening pills, which I traded from the system for Ruby and Aqua. I don't need the second one because my void refining cultivation itself helps open my mana with stacking concentrated mana to forcefully open the mana vein, and I still remember how painful it was.
"Anyway, a warning: use the first one in the bathroom and the second one only in my presence because the second one will be too painful."
After they both used the body cleansing pill, I went for birth and used the same to clean all the dirt that came out of my body. And after it, Aqua and Ruby were stunned by the effect of the pill and started to believe in this thing called magic.
"Okay, let's start. I first wanted you to learn chakra, but it will be better to learn mana, so it can later help you. And the second pill is the mana vein opening pill, and the reason I said to eat in my presence is because when the pill forcefully opens your mana vein, you will feel like you are being teared with a knife through your vein, but the more time you remain conscious, the better the result will be."
"So, you will watch us suffer."
"Nah, I will cheat your pain, but when I think it is necessary, I will numb your nerves so that you will feel nothing for 2 hours."
"Can't you just do it?"
"I cannot because I want both of you to get used to pain because it will come more in the future. And in the future, you both will understand that."
Both of them were hesitating, but later on, with conviction, both of them ate the pill, and I made sure to stuff their mouths so that the sound didn't go outside.
After 30 minutes, both of them were panting on the ground, and they also surprised me by being conscious the whole time.
"See, that was easy; you know I used the mana gathering method and had to endure that pain for 1 year in my previous life. And it was too easy for you guys."
""Hey, it was not praise.""
"Then, *Ahem* You stupid mortals, you surprised me with your conviction; maybe in 10 years you can defeat one of my shadow soldiers." Was it okay?"
""That was a more demotivating speech.""
"Anyway, let's start with your mana reserve and your mana element. First Aqua, you have Ice, Wind and Dark element. And Ruby, you have Fire, lightning, and the dark element."
I raised my hand and said, "Come to me, Zaphkiel."
A huge clock formed behind me, and my right eye changed into a golden clock. I pointed the gun at 10 O'clock. "Zaphkiel, Yud."
I sat beside Ruby, put my head on her shoulder, and fired the Flintlock pistol.
"HEY, WHAT ARE YOU DOIN_____" *THOOK*
Aqua was too panicked and later realised nothing had happened to both of us.
"Aqua, just get the bullet; you will understand everything."
"The way you are saying it is kind of SUS."
"Wait, where did you learn that?"
"I heard it from you many times."
_____________________________
After a few minutes, Aqua also got shot, with me putting my head in the same position as I did with Ruby. And with Yud, I shared whole world buildings of DXD and stuff, and I even shared my own mana cultivation method to gather mana for both Ruby and Aqua.
Later on, every day, I made them do some basic exercise and a certain bald man workout routine in the morning, just as the sun rose. Ruby was punished by the karate chop, but later on, waking up too early became her habit.
After one more year, I made them learn chakra, which I practised secretly for 4 years. And even taught them how to walk on walls and water with chakra and some body reinforcement techniques with chakra. Both of them quickly learned to walk over a wall and later over water.
Finally, I taught them observational haki, for which both of them got beaten too much, but later on they caught on to the haki and learned to use haki on a small scale.
Now that I am nearly 11 years old, I think I have done everything I have done with my family, and it's time to go to Scotland.
