Shura looked askance whenever he could at the imminent change of life that also didn't hesitate to cross the eyes with him. That girl with crystalline eyes gave off a palpable force in the atmosphere, he knew it and the rest of the members of the meeting too. His heart was pounding at the coming one hundred and eighty degree change, Shura had rejected his position as Saint of Capricorn just a few weeks after coming back to life, like Aioros or Shaka, but he accepted the obligation of being the future master of the next Gold Saint to precede him when it was necessary.
Three months.
That was the time he had enjoyed outside the Sanctuary. He couldn't believe it. It had been too easy to get used to life in Rodorio, to live at side to Aioros and the other comrades who, due to having inherited their golden armor, could be free… Now it was his turn to come back and the reason, was Sira:
"You can decide where to live with her, Shura." Saori said suddenly.
He took a deep breath, he wanted between zero and nothing to return to the Sanctuary but in his new home there was no room for a girl with a restless ass:
"It will better we stay in the Sanctuary."
"But she has to go the school" Elyn intervened "and living in Rodorio will be more comfortable for everyone."
"She will not enter school until next year." Shion added "The most ideal would be that during this time Sira learned the essentials about her future responsibility with Athena, the control of the cosmos and discover the potential of her abilities. The school can wait for now."
"Wouldn't it be better if Elyn trained her until then?" Shura found in the words of the ex- Pope a way out, at least in the short term.
"Oh no, my friend; don't look at me with this eyes...That girl is now your responsi..."
"ME RUGE LA PANZA!"
Everyone turned to look at Sira, the girl had shouted something that only one of those present hardly understood:
"Is she... spanish?"
"Surprise! Yep... what did he say?" Elyn asked.
"She's hungry... I think."
"How ugly your native language sounds, Shura..." Elyn moved to the girl and through gestures, she managed to confirm that Sira wanted to eat "I'll better take her to eat something, so when I come back I hope that you have found a solution."
Saori and the others said goodbye to the future Saint of Capricorn, discovering that the girl was an energy bomb. Saga looked at Shura and stifled his laughter, he could see his comrade-in-arms extremely concerned about the situation and it was no wonder, Shura had never been a Master nor had he had any interest in being one. The change would be hard for everyone but above all, for him.

However, it didn't take long for the spaniard to get used to Sira's rhythm. Finally, it was decided that during the first week of adaptation, while the Capricorn Temple was accommodated again for its future owners, Sira would live in Rodorio in the house of Shura and Aioros. As already happened with the arrival of Bafi and Helena, Capricorn received a credit card to pay for everything that the little girl needed... discovering on her first walk through the town on the slopes of the Sanctuary, that the girl had somewhat peculiar tastes. Cheeseburgers, while Sira had a fence, she seemed to be an angel fallen from the sky; so together, and even with the little girl holding his hand on occasion, they entered many shops where Sira chose her own clothes, pajamas and even a flower-shaped sponge. However, not everything for the girl was fun: Saori had entrusted the future Capricorn Saint with the arduous task of learning Greek as soon as possible and thus communicating with the rest of the people in the Sanctuary without depending on Shura. Therefore, whenever Shura deemed it convenient, he forced to the girl was memorizing basic phrases such as greetings, goodbyes or asking for things by please:
"Do I have to memorize at home too?"
"You need to learn as soon as possible, Sira... I will not force you but it would be good if you continued memorizing" Shura smiled at her "We don't live alone and you will have to talk with the other person."
"Pues vaya churro..." (how annoying is that...)
Capricorn didn't stop smiling her, he had inadvertently grown fond of that crystalline-eyed little girl who had reminded him of the richness of the language of his native country, with those expressions of difficult translation that were actually good enough to describe any situation.
As expected, Aioros was at home when Shura and Sira entered. His eyes fixed first on the girl, then on the bags that Capricorn was carrying and finally... he looked at his spanish boyfriend somewhat terrified. Sira took a few steps forward, urged by her caretaker to put into practice what she had learned on her walk around Rodorio; she presented herself with some slowness, somewhat afraid of not doing well and that the man who looked at her didn't understand her... because she didn't know that while she babbled greek, Shura summed up the situation to Aioros via cosmos:
"Oh... nice to meet you, Sira, I am Aioros."
"Aioros?" She repeated, making sure she understood the name.
Upon receiving a affirmation from Sagittarius, the girl turned to look at Shura excited that she had been able to speak to someone even if it was to say her name. Just then, Shura showed her the apartment in which he lived whose indications in spanish, Aioros hardly understood. Aioros understood certain things because in his childhood, he had had to study it for to go in search of Capricorn but his knowledge was rusty so he gave them he left a little intimacy until, after a while, Shura appeared alone in the living room and to fell in the sofa:
"By all the gods of Olympus... I'm exhausted." Shura confessed.
"So... Now we have a new pet? This is your karma for not letting me have a cat."
"She's not a pet... it's worse so you can search one to keep you company... I have to move to the Sanctuary in a week and live there until Sira can manage alone." Shura snorted, assimilating that he didn't like the change of his life despite liking the girl "And considering her age... I will never back here."
"You're so dramatic... You talk as if you were going to live to the moon." Sagittarius laughed "You are one step from home, we can continue to see us and on weekends, you and Sira will have a place here, darling, but I'll take your words about the cat."
They both laughed knowing that despite the joke, there would soon be a new inhabitant in the house.
