After the coronation ceremony and it's after party, Alicia was finally alone with just her mom, Tang An. "Mother, can I ask why you sent to a whole different universe?"
Tang An froze The way Alicia addressed Tang An as 'Mother' instead of 'mom'already made Tang An know that Alicia knew she was in a different universe altogether and that she could say anything against this fact. "It's a long story and I need to pack, so can we talk about this later?"
By later, she ant after she toured all the planets. Hoping in a few tens of years Alicia would forget the whole thing. But unfortunately her brush off was not going to work on Alicia. "Oh? I guess I need to have your visa flagged upon entry to send you back to Phantasia, since you plan to run away."
"Akari! That is an abuse of power!" Tang An couldn't believe Alicia would go that far just to hear the truth!
"So be it! I will abuse my power until you tell . Now co on, spill it." Seeing how she could not escape her daughter's interrogation, she had no choice but to sit and spill the beans.
"What I am about to say, will not make you happy In truth The baby Ming and I had never made it. At that ti we were still in the other universe and on the run. I was hit by an attack that caused to lose my child. Soti later, we ca across a mysterious person cloaked in white, who held a baby in his arms. He seed almost spectral with his body that looked as if it was on fire. He asked us if we could raise you as our own. If we accepted that task he would send us to a safe place to live out our days.
"We agreed and he sent us to Earth, in a different universe. He gave us new nas and a place to live so we could live out our days there. It did not take long to figure out that we were not in the sa universe. It took a long ti but I was finally able to push my projection into the other universe when I saw signs of you having issues with your magic power. But the only way to do it was to let it eat at my life force. That was how I set up everything so that once your soul was released from your body I could send it to the other universe. The rest you already know.
" Akari, It's all a confusing ss but it is the truth. I never wanted to tell you all this because to you are my flesh and blood and always will be." Tang An felt nervous with Alicia being so quiet. She hoped her daughter did not hate her now.
"Maybe that would explain a few things..." Alicia muttered. She wondered if the things she was seeing, dreaming about, and her unexplained obsession with the girl nad Ah Chun, had sothing to do with her actual origins.
"Akari?" Tang An called out again.
Shaking her head Alicia smiled and hugged tang An tightly. "Mom will always be mom. You raised , protected , and loved . You and dad are my parents and nothing will ever change between us!"
Tang An began to tear up as she hugged Alicia tightly. She felt a surge of relief after telling Alicia everything. She had always worried that Alicia would suddenly say, 'you are not my mom', even if she knew Alicia was nothing like that. After leaving Alicia and heading to her room still slightly red in the eyes from crying, she walked in to find Tang Ming sitting there watching magi vision. "Ming, she knows everything now."
"You told her? How did she react." Tang Ming turned the magi vision off and turned to look at Tang An, concern and worry written all over his face.
"She said, mom will always be mom but dad sucks and I hate him now." Tang An, teased which caused Tang Ming to furrow his brow. But Tang An continued "Joking aside, she said nothing would ever change between us. She wasn't mad at all for holding back such an important thing."
"That's good..." Tang Ming let out a long sigh. "We never did et that person ever again."
Tang An, had a feeling that that person was much closer than they would ever think.

Sitting in his backyard on an old swing, rocking back and forth, Grandpa Matsumoto, who had a crossword puzzle in his hand looked up at the sky with a smile. "So she finally knows I wonder where this will lead. I had ant for her to stay on this world until she was much older but never did I expect her magic power to begin consuming her. Luckily I was able to help that little lady out when she was trying to prepare things to send the lass's soul to another universe. Although she would never realize this herself But the ti of the eting between those three girls is close at hand. What happens from there is all in fate's hands. "
Next door, loud music began to play as a man laying in a kiddie pool with a wide brim hat, heart shaped sunglasses, wearing bathing shorts, sipped on a tall glass of ice tea through a straw. Grandpa Matsumoto frowned and got up from his swing and walked over towards the fence. "Will you shut the hell up before I blow up your damn house up!"
"You old bastard I would like to see you try!"
