With the Hostess of Fertility still closed, everyone made their way into the main floor of the famous pub and Mama Mia served everyone drinks and food.
Because her instincts told her to, Mama Mia cooked up 5 whole fish meals for Myr and set them in front of her while Chloe had Myr on her lap.
With the star of the show, and more importantly her fiancé, sitting on her lap while being fed by her, Chloe couldn't have been happier. Day after day, night after night, she had to suffer through not knowing whether Myr was even alive anymore. Now that Myr was back, safe and in her arms, Chloe was the happiest cat girl in the room, only matched by Myr.
Once the place had quieted down a bit, Loki, more than a little drunk, blurted out a question. "Wait so Myr, what the hell even happened to you? Did ya' do anything fun?"
Hearing Loki's question, Myr spits out the bite of fish she had in her mouth and stared at Loki with a look of anguish and pain in her eyes.
Sensing the change in mood by Myr, Chloe slowly begins to rub Myr's stomach and pet her head to try and get her to relax.
Soaking up the attention, Myr calms down after a minute and slowly begins to explain to everyone present what exactly went on, from the time when her ears got severed from the formation, to the time when the 5 men tortured her.
It was at this moment that Myr started feeling sick, shaky, and began to go pale. Starting to tear up, Myr burrows her face into Chloe's chest and, after a couple of minutes, begins to tell everyone about the 5 men who tortured her, and eventually indirectly caused her to undergo a demonic transformation that threatened to destroy everything.
Everyone had a look on their face of sheer malice as they collectively pledged to try and kill these 5 men if they ever saw anyone like them.
Myr then calmed down after a bit and trudged on with what happened. "Although I don't remember much about my savior, or what happened afterwards. All I know is that right now, if Loki were to check my stats, they'd most likely show up as me being level 10 or level "EX", and I can also control how much power of my demonic transformation I can use at any given time. My limit is only 1 percent, and that's because I don't dare use more, lest I lose control of myself."
Looking at her with wry smiles, Myr's face turned red after everyone said at the same time "The Freak of Orario strikes again!"
Silently pouting, Myr nudges her head to face inwards towards Chloe, garnering a laugh from everyone present.
Quickly calming down, Myr then looks towards everyone and takes a deep breath. "Guys, I do want to tell you all something though, and it's more of a favor."
Gaining everyone's rapt attention, Myr continues. "I'm going to be giving you all a device that will help you in THE worst case scenario, that being the case where I lose control of myself and go berserk after my partial demon transformation."
Everyone present besides Myr looks shocked that the idea even came about that she'd possibly lose control.
Before anyone could question her concern, Myr continued on. "The needles, which I'm going to give each of you 5, are coated with a special poison. A poison that would never hurt you, but is the only thing that will be able to kill me as a berserk partial demon, as long as I'm under 600 years old. Seeing as how I'm 17, that gives both all of you and myself plenty of time to learn how to perfectly control my transformations. I won't just activate my transformation for every fight. It's meant to be my ultimate trump card, one that I'll only use if all other options available to me at the time fail. After 600 years I'll have found a way to perfectly control my transformation, regardless of how many times I've used it."
With grim expressions, everyone nodded their heads while thinking "I swear I won't let it ever come to that point."
After handing out the needles, which were more like ornate gold and silver nails foundation nails without the head on them, Myr smiles a smile that could cause countries to go to war. "I'm sure though, that as long as I have everyone here, I won't ever have to worry about losing control."
Chloe started scratching behind Myr's ears and was gently rubbing her belly while saying "Of course you don't have to worry, you have all of us here for you!~"
Everyone started chiming in and proclaimed their unending support for Myr. A few minutes later, everyone is back to drinking and partying.
Near the end of the celebration, Myr decided to walk out of the pub and went outside and leaned against the side of the building while looking at the starry sky.
'Yo, Systi.'
{What's up Myr?}
'Say, I was thinking. What happens if I turn out to have broken through the levels of the Falna? What then? Do I get ejected from this world and get assigned a new one? If that's the case then I think I'd rather die than be without the family I have now. It took me two lives, but I'm finally engaged. I have a beautiful soon-to-be wife and a loving family and friends all around. I don't believe my mental state would be able to handle the loss.'
Staying silent for a couple of minutes, Systi finally responds.
{Well, if that's the case, then I won't eject you until after you set down a "Record Sealing Monolith"." What that does is completely freeze this record of Danmachi in place. Everything, from the rocks and the trees, wind, mana, time, basically existence itself is all frozen to a halt. All you need to do is take out the monolith, squeeze a drop of blood onto the crown of it 3 times. It'll shake and vibrate until it's finished absorbing your potent blood, and the process will be finished one it finally absorbs it, as the entire monolith will turn red in color. All you need to do then is crush it like a talisman and the effect will start. I'll even make sure that you can come back here again in the future, but my main goal as your system is to make sure you're well prepared for godhood, as it's no laughing matter. It'll be at that time that you get to decide whether to stick with your current system, or.. throw me away...}
The last part barely reached Myr's ears, but still reached regardless. Clenching her jaw, Myr quickly scolded Systi.
'Don't you ever even consider me tossing you aside. I will never do so, even upon the threat of death. Think of all the shit we've encountered and all of the stuff that you've helped me overcome. I can't exist without you Systi, you and I both know it. So stop worrying about an issue that's irrelevant to us. You help me, so I'll help you. You matter to me just as much as Chloe does. You're my friend, Systi, not just an expendable system, and I don't throw away friends.'
Chuckling, if Systi could crack a wry smile, she would've.
{Geez, now you're making me blush! Hehe, you're right Myr, we've been through too much to let go huh? Well, I'm with you forever, if you'll have me!~}
'Glad to have you back Systi.'
Myr, who heard quiet footsteps behind her, turned around and saw Chloe walking towards her at a moderate slow pace.
With a sly smile, Chloe walks up to Myr and embraces her. "I'm sorry Myr, I probably won't have a very good marriage gift compared to one of your standards, but if you'll let me-"
Interrupting Chloe, Myr gave Chloe a solid look in the eyed and said "Chloe, I don't care about any sort of gifts, all I care about is that you're happy and okay with our decision to get married, gifts be damned! If you still insist on getting me something, give me permission to always be by your side. I know it sounds cheesy, but those are my honest thoughts."
Chloe gave Myr a heartwarming smile, and they were about to kiss, when all of a sudden...
*Thud*
"OW, damn it!"
"Oh looky here, itsh za lovebirdsh!"
Turning to look at the cause of the disturbance, which turned out to be a very drunk Loki, both of the lovers let out a sigh, looked at eachother, grinned like fools, and had a long and passion filled kiss.
After about a minute or so, Myr and Chloe broke away from eachother's lips, and, while still flushed, Myr burrowed her face into Chloe's chest, as Chloe was gently rubbing right behind Myr's ears, listening to her fiancé's purring, making a decision that she knew Myr would agree with.
Holding Myr upright by her shoulders, Chloe looked at Myr in the eyes and with a gentle smile, asked "Myr, since we've had the whole marriage ceremony planned for quite some time, how about we get married in 2 days. I'll gather everyone to decide the details."
Looking back at Chloe with wide eyes, Myr breaks out into a smile so pure that the heavens themselves couldn't compare.
"I'll happily be wed to you in 2 days Chloe!"
Kissing eachother again, Myr and Chloe parted lips after a few seconds. Gazing into eachother's eyes, they embraced eachother for a couple of minutes in silence and then went back inside to mingle with everyone.
--------
{OI! Lazybones! Wake up! WAKE UP YOU LAZY CAT!}
Myr's wake up routine was, well, routine. Always starting off with Systi gently trying to get Myr awake, then with a raised voice, then shouting, and once everything else has failed, Systi then threatens to start singing, which according to Myr, "is worse than the sound of the sharp part of the nail being dragged along the surface of a blackboard".
Waking up, Myr gets dressed in a simple knee length sundress, her blindfold, a straw hat with earholes, and open faced sandals.
Walking down with a yawn, Myr holds up the "peace" sign. "Sorry I'm late guys, I was tired. I see everyone's here."
With chuckles all around, Myr takes her seat next to Chloe and leans in and rests her head on Chloe's shoulders.
Grinning at Myr's display, Loki claps her hands once to draw everyone's attention.
"Alrighty everyone, the plan for Chloe and Myr to get married is now underway! Myr, due to you being younger and more than 20cm shorter. we've all decided that you'll be the one who wears a dress! Don't go crying to Chloe either, she was the one who started the vote in the first place." (A/N: Chloe (in my fan-fic) is 174cm tall. Myr is 153cm tall. I envisioned her as the "yandere-ish big sister" type.)
Bolting out from Chloe's embrace, Myr stares in abject horror and betrayal. Chloe just pats her lap twice and, with a cheshire grin, looked at her with two crescent shaped eyes.
With a shiver going up her back, her tail twitches twice before she meekly gets back on Chloe's lap, looks at everyone quickly, then plants her head into the nape of Chloe's neck to hide her blushing face.
Feeling a little bit at a loss with how things were playing out, Loki hurriedly said "Wait wait wait, Myr, don't get your underwear in a knot. We got input from everyone here and even recommendations from gods and goddesses with divinities regarding fashion. We narrowed it down to 1 option, and we got you quite a bit of jewelry and a pair of shoes that fit the dress like a glove. We can't show you it near Chloe, but later today we'll show you everything we got."
Perking up near the end, Myr slowly sits upright and looks at Loki. "Alright, then as long as you got input from Chloe and everyone else then I guess that's fine. I have a list of gods, goddesses, and their respective Familia's that I don't want invited at all, some where I just don't want to see them, and some where I will kill if I so much as see them take a step in this direction."
Towards the end of her statement, Myr's voice had a chilling tone to it, where everyone immediately knew that Myr wasn't bluffing one bit about killing.
Myr continued. "I mainly don't want any god or goddesses and their Familias related to EvilUs to come. How I know about them is of no concern, all that matters is that you are well aware of the fact that I will butcher anyone related to that organization. Another god and his Familia that I'm going to kill if they come here is Apollo and his Familia. Ishtar can fuck off, I just get bad vibes even thinking about her. I guess anyone else you think I might clash with."
Everyone besides Myr and Chloe had mixed expressions, and the air was silent until Chloe slightly tightened her grip around Myr's waist and started right along her collarbone, "Now now Myr, don't go killing anyone on our wedding, let the others take care of that. I'm sure they'd be willing to help keep the peace, Right?"
Looking at everyone with crescent eyes, everyone felt like they had freezing cold water dumped on their heads and spines, everything in their very being screaming at them that if they knew what was good for them, they'd accept.
Naturally, everyone was quick to nod their heads and most couldn't help but gulp. Even the stoic Ais had a little bit of sweat dotting the sides of her head and a slightly strained expression.
Seeing everyone readily agree, Myr blushes and with a smile that could melt the ice caps, thanks everyone.
All of a sudden, Loki grabs the sides of her head with her hands and yells "Shit! I forgot to update Myr's status board! Myr, to your room!"
Practically dragging Myr along, Loki points towards her top then to Myr's, which Myr quickly complied with.
Half an hour later, Loki, with a shaky hand, writes down Myr's "status sheet", which did nothing short of fry Loki's already stressed brain.
[Name: Myr Aeternum
-Level: (Limit Surpassed)
-Soul Tier: 3
-Power: (Limit Surpassed)
-Endurance: (Limit Surpassed)
-Dexterity: (Limit Surpassed)
-Agility: (Limit Surpassed)
-Magic: (Limit Surpassed)
Skills: (Limit Surpassed(
Magic: (Limit Surpassed)
Loki, after getting over her shock, practically sprinted out towards the others. Myr just chuckles as she casually puts her top back on and walks out to find everyone staring at her with gobsmacked expressions, except of course Chloe, who was giving Myr a warm and proud smile.
Seeing everyone's expressions, Myr giggles and smiles at everyone and asks "So, do I get a statue of me built somewhere now?" to which everyone smirks and shakes their head at.
Loki takes a deep breathe and sighs. She grumbled in a low tone "The old fart in Babel will get really irritating now."
No one heard her except Myr, who to Loki's amusement turned towards her and said "Even though Ouranos might be one of if not THE most powerful god around, I'll find a way to permanently castrate him both here and in heaven, and where ever else he might have a spare body if he causes any trouble or involved in any sort of activity where whatsoever."
After she was done cackling, Loki looked towards Myr and sported a devilish grin. "I'll leave you to it then." Myr nodded and was about to reply when Chloe picked Myr up by her waist and sat Myr down on her lap.
Leaning back to rest against Chloe, everyone present silently made a note to themselves to bring Chloe to Myr if Myr got out of control.
After about a minute of Chloe assaulting Myr with a swarm of headpats, ear scratches, and tummy rubs, Myr suddenly sat and stood up and turned to face towards Chloe. Pulling out the gift box Myr had fashioned together with the help of Systi, she presented it to Chloe with a blush on her face.
Taking a deep breath, Myr smiled at Chloe as Chloe wore a cheshire grin with crescent eyes. "Is this the dowry you're providing Myr? It looks exquisite."
Nodding her head, Myr begins to explain what exactly was in the box, from the twin daggers to the plethora of talismans, everyone's eyes widened and bulged when they heard about Myr's dowry to Chloe.
Even Chloe wasn't spared the shock as she looked at Myr and asked "Myr, this box contains items that are probably worth billions of Valis, are you sure you want to give this to me?"
Chloe instantly regretted asking that as she saw Myr look hurt at her question. Quickly regaining herself, Myr chuckled at Chloe's question. "Chloe my love, I don't care how much they're worth, all I care about is how happy you are. Besides, with these, you can grow even stronger!"
Everyone grinned at this and thought, 'I'm glad to see she's back.'
