Satria stared sharply at his future self, and his future self returned the glare with equal intensity. The tension in the room grew until the sound of a door opening broke their standoff.

In walked four teenagers wearing school uniforms.

“Why are these two old men staring at each other like that?” asked a white-haired boy with an undercut hairstyle, his uniform worn haphazardly like a delinquent.

Before anyone could respond, two blue-haired twins darted forward with pleading eyes. “Ayah! Please give us money for snacks!” they said in unison, their puppy eyes directed at future versions of Satria.

“Don’t give these two any money, Otou-sama, until they finish their homework,” another teen interjected, dragging the twins by their collars. She bore an uncanny resemblance to Kiyohime, her strict demeanor matching her mother’s perfectly.

“Nooo! We don’t want to study! It’s boring!” the twins whined, flailing in her grasp. “Help us, Ayah! Bunda! Anyone!”

The blue-haired woman with twin tails pretended to dab her eyes dramatically. “My poor babies... forgive your Bunda for abandoning you both in your time of need!”

Kiyohime twitched. “This is all your fault for spoiling them,” she said, glaring at her future husband. “You’ve turned them into little slackers, just like you.”

The white-haired boy snickered at the chaos. ‘Idiots,’ he thought and turned into white slime, sneaking toward the door. ‘I’m getting out of here before I get dragged into their nonsense.’

“Stop.”

“Oh, crap.”

He froze, the menacing voice of his mother—her long, straight blue hair flowing like a predator ready to strike—cutting through his attempt at stealth.

“My dear son,” she said sweetly, her smile anything but kind. “Come here and sit down.”

He returned to his human form and tried to feign innocence, flashing her a puppy-eyed look. “Hehe… What do you need, Mommy?”

 “Hehe… What do you need, Mommy?”
