"That woman… Aloe Vida… she's quite impressive, is she not?"

I glanced in the direction of the one who spoke, and it was Libra. Her tone made it clear that she was quite enthralled with Aloe, and that made me slightly relieved.

"Yeah… true."

"I noticed that as well."

"I like her quite a bit too…"

Libra wasn't the only one who had that sentiment about Aloe, as nearly half of the Constellations all applauded her efforts.

'I've been figting for a while now, so I don't really know of the feats they're alluding to. Still…' I felt strangely satisfied that Aloe was getting so much traction from the Constellations.

It made me curious about the progress of the others.

"What of the one called Anabelle? How is she?" I blurted out, a smile etched on my face.

"Ahh… the dwarf? She has a lot of potential… " The moment I heard Cancer utter those words, I felt an instant surge of pity for Ana.

'She's a Loli, not a dwarf.' I cried internally.

Still, I had no intention of correcting Cancer. He knew more than me anyway, so I had to assume that Ana had some Dwarf blood running in her veins or something.

'Now that I think about it, Cancer's Representation would be perfect for Ana…' My thoughts trailed.

Hopefully, things turned out well.

"Haha… I see." I managed to laugh it off, thinking about who else to bring up.

"That Serah Crimson woman… I want her."

A very bold, imposing tone suddenly echoed throughout the entire Constellation Realm. The primal force from the voice sent jitters down my spine, causing me to instantly recognize the one who spoke.

It was Taurus.

"She has such fine qualities too… of destruction, of course… ahem…"

I didn't know if Taurus was interested in her because of her potential to be strong, or due to other reasons… but I could only leak out a short laugh in response.

"Haha… is that so?"

"H-hey, no fair, Taurus. I set my eyes on her first." This time, it was Scorpio who intervened. "I told you about her first, and then you—"

"Haha! You snooze, you lose."

"Y-you…"

It took some getting used to—seeing these boundless and powerful beings act like this—but I was pretty much desensitized to it at this point.

I didn't know the point at which it happened, but I just slowly began to be more understanding and comfortable around them.

… Almost as if they were family.

"You guys aren't the only one who have their sights set on Serah, but you sure are being little bitches about it."

Hearing Libra talk so crudely made me nearly bite my tongue. However, for some reason, her words seemed to work on the the two arguing Constellations.

Taurus and Scorpio stopped their quarrel, and I could sense satisfaction brimming from Libra. I gave her a secretive thumbs up, and she responded with three thumbs-ups.

Thankfully, I had gotten used to her form now.

Back to the matter at hand, though, there was one person I wanted to ask about most of all. It wasn't because she was my daughter, or anything.

I just… wanted to know who had set their eyes on her.

"What do you all think about Lemi?"

For a moment, there were echoes of silence permeating the hall, and it seemed like my question landed in an empty expanse.

'Perhaps they didn't hear me?' I thought to myself.

I decided to ask again.

"What do you think abou—"

"We heard you the first time, Jared. Take a hint, would you?" Taurus interjected, his deep voice once again pulling down the little shred of confidence I had managed to muster concerning my daughter's wellbeing.

"She's too flippant." One Constellation said.

My heart sank.

"Annoying…" Another one intoned.

It descended further.

"Distracted…"

It began to shatter now.

"Too unserious."

It felt like they were ripping my heart out with the way they were talking about Lemi, and in a way… I got a little upset.

'Why can't they see her brilliance, though? She's a genius, just like her father!'

Sure, she was a bit eccentric, but in the end… she was an amazing person! She even managed to duplicate my Spellcraft in her own way.

'Though, I guess all of these feats do not really matter where Constellations are concerned.'

It was a shame that they didn't look favorably upon her. I really didn't want her to be the one left out.

"Hahaha! You boomers are too stiff." A voice akin to a child echoed throughout the vast expanse of the realm.

"I think that Lemi girl is pretty fun. She's interesting too…"

My eyes glittered as I turned in the direction of my now-favorite Constellation, who could see beyond what the others couldn't.

The twin-Constellation Gemini!

"Really? I knew you could see her potential." I beamed at them.

"Well, yeah. She's going to be fun. I can see her causing a lot of trouble… hehehe."

"Rather, she would also be difficult to train. I welcome the challenge…"

My heart reached the depths of the abyss once I heard the words that the two offered me as their rationale for supporting my daughter.

The two faces of Gemini had distinct personalities, but it seemed they both agreed that my daughter was a handful.

I had to clutch my chest a little as I considered what kind of impression she must have made to cause the Constellations to think of her in such a light.

"I do not see a cause for your intrigue or interest in any of these mortals…" A smooth, watery voice suddenly surged forth from behind me, emanating from Aquarius.

Her tone felt disconcerted, and her words oozed with disinterest.

Thus far, she hadn't contributed to the conversation, but it wasn't for a positive reason.

No, it was quite the opposite.

"None of these candidates are impressive in the slightest."

Thank you all for reading!

You can all probably guess what kind of Constellation this Aquarius is.
