I"ll be uploading daily more often as I was quite haggard from work.

Ace looked at the tired 3 women who tried to still fight him. Unable to scratch him, he just snapped his finger and they were very much at 100% state.
"Like I said, I'm not here to harm you, lets talk."
They saw how he recovered them to their prime. The one leading them stepped forward still wary.
"Alright."

Showing their hideout, the leader spoke quite a lot about her brother. But she looked at him with more friendliness just like the others. He walked with them and learned of their names. Their stories, their life and how they come about to be here.
"Thank you for not killing us."
Aoba Wakura the leader of their little group thanked him. She stopped being wary because well he didn't seem normal. He was stronger than any men she seen and he had a special ability. Making her think like the others he was special in able to consume the peach fruit without side effects.
"It's simple that you defend yourself from the unknown."
He dismissed it as he looked around this huge cave. He heard all three stories Aoba ate a peach and had a side effect transforming into what she is now. Being half shuuki and half human she still retained her beauty. Same with the others especially Naon Yuno.
For Aoba she was kidnapped by a portal and wasn't able to return to the modern world. Leaving her precious little brother alone. It seemed to Ace that she was a bro-con. While Naon was a famous model who ate the peach suffering what she became now.
Only for the anti-demon corps and Onmyou agency to try to act friendly only for them to use her as an experiment. Just like the the short girl named Koko Zenibako. A cute petite woman, but unlike Naon she was similar to Aoba.
Trapped in this world unable to become human again but when she ate the peach. She was fighting from being consumed by rage and rampage like a true monster. Only to be saved by Aoba.
"How did you find us?"
As Aoba never saw him even though he was used as battle armor by Kyouka.
"Well, we may have met but not under such normal circumstances."
"What do you mean?"
Aoba was confused and the two women looked at her with curiosity.
"Not like it matters now, but hearing your stories what would do if you had that chance to turn back to normal?"
"Why are you asking that...?"
She raised an eyebrow, as she then felt suspicious to his words.
"Just saying who wouldn't like to turn back to normal, though you three are beautiful as the way you're....I don't see monsters in my eyes."
He genuinely complimented them, as a smile formed on his lips. All 3 even the bro-con was affected by his charm. Naon, Koko both were blushing as Aoba blushed slightly but coughed trying to regain her composure.
"Beautiful huh.....We're fine right now we have someone who can lift curses, but they're still not strong to do it."
She muttered the first words silently. It was different from asking and bothering her little brother to see if she looked good. Maybe she didn't really see other men as her eyes were on Yuki.
But he was handsome even though she isn't easily swooned he someone made her feel happy to be complimented.
'He just called me beautiful?....even in this monstrous form?'
Naon felt her heart quicken she never really looked forward for relationships. The men she dated were to shy, she somehow just wanted a man to be able to speak to her without stuttering more manly.
Koko being 5 feet tall thought that it was already hard for her to find a partner looking like a child sometimes, but his eyes told no lie. Aoba saw it too, a random man beat them and mean them no harm was saying some weird question.
"What if it's permenant?"
"Do you have a means t-."
*fwoosh*
He snapped his fingers and all 3 turned into their human forms. They were shocked by this as all 3 cried in excitement, happiness. Koko hugged Naon who jumped in joy seeing her normal self. When she was a beauty.
As she appreciated beautiful things and seeing that she was back it caused her heart to burst into tears.
Aoba trembled as she checked her body. She didn't turn back since another half Shuuki half monster they saved couldn't lift the curse fully.
But he changed them back without a problem. Soon they turned back as they thought it was just dream.
"With my power you can become human permanently and also transform in half Shuuki."
"A price."
Aoba already caught onto his meaning. She knew such thing didn't come free. She looked at him warily as she asked him what was on her mind.
"What is your price?"
"Be my maids."
Ace wanted maids now, he thought it would be nice to have some. Aoba blinked, Koko eyes widened as Naon hugged her body as they all looked at him like he was a pervert.
"I need some maids, I mean I won't do nothing to you three, just always wanted some maids."
Naon bit her lip she wanted to be normal again.
"I'll be your maid."'
She was someone who didn't lower herself to no one. Quite haughty but also gentle just knew what she was worth. Koko was surprised but she also wanted to be normal.
"Me too!"
Koko stepped forward. As Aoba was last, as she was fighting in her mind.
'I have my little brother waiting!....maid, I can't even do chores!'
She was having a turmoil as she was the type to leave Yuki to be the cleaner of the house. She didn't know how to cook. She knew how to clean and most of all fight.
"I'm not forcing you, but I'll take these two as maids."
He appeared before them. Ace touched their forehead and a mark was engraved on their back. Now showing they were his maids. No one can take them away from him.
Instantly, they turned back to normal.
Aoba clenched her fist and made a decision right there. Sometimes overthinking and indecisiveness doesn't cut out in life.
