A year after Ryūji and Rose took down Onyx, they were eating breakfast with Eriko when a knock came from the door.

"Coming," said Ryūji as he walked up to the door. When he opened it, he found a man and woman standing there.

"Hello, is Rose here?" asked the man who had blond hair and green eyes, same with the woman.

"Yes she is," said Ryūji as he moved to allow them in.

"Mom, dad!" said Rose as she ran up to them, giving the two a big hug.

"It's been too long, Rose," said the woman.

"Wait, you're Rose's parents?" asked Eriko as she stood up.

"Yes, my name is Chisiki (Knowledge)," said the woman as she gave a slight bow to them.

"And I'm Gakushū (Learning), and I thank you for looking after my little girl, she was taken from us when we were out hunting long before you rescued her," said the man.

"I'm sorry, but did you come here to take Rose home?" asked Ryūji with a worried expression.

"No, I don't want to leave!" said Rose as she ran over to hug him.

"Oh heavens no, that's not why we're here in the least," said Chisiki.

"You aren't?" asked Eriko.

"That's correct, we are only here to be with our daughter and her fiance," said Gakushū as he motioned to Ryūji.

"I'm not Rose's fiance, I'm just her boyfriend," said Ryūji who was blushing.

"But you did the Ritual of Adulthood and can engage with her," said Chisiki.

"How do you even know that?" asked Ryūji. However, before anyone could say a word, he noticed that the clock on the kitchen wall said eight.

"Oh man, we're late for school," said Ryūji as he grabbed their bags before the two ran off.

"Our Rose goes to school with humans?" asked a surprised Chisiki.

"Yes, we enrolled her because she hates not being near Ryūji," said Eriko.

"Can you please tell us more about the time she has spent here with you?" asked Gakushū.

"Of course I can, would you like some breakfast?" said Eriko with a smile as she motioned for them to sit down at the table.
