Chapter 20 A Year And half Later
Dimension Villa, Conference Room
The tranquil air of the Dimension Villa seemed to vibrate with energy as the conference began. Seated around the long table were the familiar faces of the Yuto family: Yuto himself, Jenny, Gaia, and Tenko, the once-feared Ten Tails now transformed into a gentle and affectionate girl. The bond between them had grown strong over the past year, each of them becoming closer than family.
Tenko's journey from the terrifying beast to their beloved sister had brought them together in ways none had expected.

One Year Ago
The Ten Tails had awakened, driven by her primal hunger for malice, her enormous power shaking the entire dimension. But what she found instead of fear and destruction was something entirely different: peace. It was Yuto, Jenny, and Gaia, sitting together, laughing as they shared a meal during a picnic. The scent of freshly cooked dishes lingered in the air, courtesy of Chef Yuto.
Drawn by curiosity and hunger, the Ten Tails approached silently, her massive presence impossible to ignore. As she hovered above them, the girls tensed, but Yuto stood up calmly, holding out a piece of mutton. He smiled, completely unfazed by the creature towering over him.
"Are you hungry?" he asked, his voice soft and kind, as if he were talking to an old friend rather than a world-ending beast.
The Ten Tails tilted her head in confusion. In all her existence, fear had been her weapon—an emotion she fed on. Yet, there was none here. Yuto didn't fear her. He didn't run. He didn't scream. Without fear, she couldn't devour him.
Hesitant at first, she took the mutton and ate it, but the hunger in her eyes remained. Sensing her need, Yuto called Chef Yuto over, and soon, an assortment of dishes was laid before her. The more she ate, the more her tension faded. Yuto, Jenny, and Gaia began to relax, their nervous smiles soon turning into laughter as they watched the enormous beast munch through the meal like an excited child.
Eventually, the Ten Tails paused, her hunger satisfied for the moment. But what she craved next wasn't food—it was companionship. She had watched Yuto and the girls laugh, play, and share intimate moments, and it stirred something within her ancient soul.
Through telepathy, she reached out for the first time in millennia. "Can you play with me? Like you play with them?" The voice in their minds was soft, almost vulnerable.
Yuto smiled warmly. "Of course. But first, let's make you more comfortable."

It wasn't long before the bond between the Ten Tails and Yuto grew. She wanted more than just food and survival—she wanted a life like Jenny and Gaia. She yearned for simple things: to kiss, to cuddle, to be cared for, and to care for others. She wanted to feel love and warmth, something she had never known in her existence as the Ten Tails.
Yuto consulted with the others. Gene Yuto proposed creating a human body for her, one that could contain her essence, giving her a chance to experience life as they did. The decision was unanimous. The Ten Tails, now emotionally attached to the group, agreed.
"What do you want your new body to look like?" Yuto asked her.
"I want to look like Sister Jenny and Sister Gaia," she said. The title of 'sister' caused both girls to melt with affection. Jenny reached out to touch her ethereal form, and Gaia, ever the motherly figure, smiled softly.
Gene Yuto, with his genius, used elements from all three—Jenny, Gaia, and Yuto himself—to create the perfect body. When the transformation was complete, Tenko was born. As soon as she awoke in her new form, she ran to Yuto and hugged him, tears in her eyes. Then, to everyone's surprise, she kissed him on the lips—a pure, innocent gesture of gratitude.
Jenny and Gaia couldn't help but giggle at the scene, but their bond with Tenko only grew stronger. From that day forward, she was no longer a beast, but their beloved little sister, Tenko.

Present Time
Now, as they sat in the conference room, the dynamic between them had completely changed. Tenko had grown close to Yuto, Jenny, and Gaia in ways that felt more like a family. Sitting on Chef Yuto's lap, she smiled with a bright, playful energy, her once terrifying power now focused on the warmth and joy she shared with her new family.
Jenny and Gaia, who had once been cautious around Tenko, now couldn't keep their hands off her. They doted on her constantly—Jenny braided her hair while Gaia taught her how to care for plants in the villa's garden. The three of them often slept together, Tenko nestled between her "sisters," finding comfort in the simple act of closeness.
And Yuto? He had become her guide, her protector. Tenko often followed him around, watching him with wide eyes as he trained or handled missions. Though she had unimaginable power within her, she now viewed Yuto as the one she could rely on, the one she could learn from.
In turn, Yuto treated Tenko with a gentle hand, helping her navigate her newfound humanity. He wasn't just her teacher; he became someone she trusted unconditionally.
As the meeting began, Yuto's voice broke the comfortable silence. "Let's start the meeting," he said, his voice commanding yet relaxed. Tenko, feeling playful, adjusted herself on Chef Yuto's lap, giggling softly. Jenny and Gaia watched with warm smiles, their bond with her deepening every day.
"What's our progress?" Yuto asked, looking toward CEO Yuto.
