Chapter 161 - Earth Field Trip: Departure

Draxus finally managed to get his scheduled 2 weeks off. He already had various preparations done to bring his fiancés to Earth as they were filled with excitement. Wendy helped them in terms of the dress code since they had no plans to stand out. With their appearances, it may look like that Wendy is simply giving a tour to various foreigner friends, but nobody would know that all six girls are engaged to the same man. Draxus didn't interrupt them in their preparation as it could cause him to get slapped when entering a room where ladies are changing. Thus, he went off to check on the things that he will be bringing.

"I'm pretty sure I got enough money to rent out hotel rooms... But as expected... Olivia and Gwen are like, sixteen... If they're seen going into a hotel with me then it's game over when authorities start to question me." Draxus pondered for a while as he started to think about what to do for the time being. It was then he remembered that Serkyrio had bought an entire villa for the group, erasing his worry of getting questioned by police from his appearance. "I'm already somewhat well known on Earth so a news about the mysterious returnee having various girls of different ages, three of them are underaged... Yeah, it's definitely bad." Draxus prepared more items that may be needed for the trip.

"Alright, this should be everything. Wendy should be able to handle the extra clothes for them. But if we're lacking stuff, we could just go buy some more back on Earth." As Draxus continued monologuing to himself, he heard a knock on his door. "Come in." A figure that he knew all to well came into the room with a presence that's ultimately thin that it's impossible to notice. "Drax, I heard from Serkyrio that you're taking your two week off now. So he wanted me to hand this over to you." Jaquinn handed over a small tube that contained something that Draxus didn't know. "I don't remember asking Serkyrio anything but thanks anyway, what's in this thing?" Jaquinn showed a sinister smile as the container was being opened. "Contraceptives." In that instant, Draxus dropped the tube out of shock and embarrassment. "W-What do you mean!? You meant that right?! What the hell man! This is your prank isn't it?!" Seeing Draxus panic greatly got Jaquinn to laugh as he stated the actual reason why the tube is given to him. "I'm kidding man! Actually, this tube basically creates a barrier similar to those from the Council, but the flaw in the Council's barrier is that they're detectable by magic. This one isn't. There are members of the Council wandering about in Earth after Serkyrio's announcement before, this should make you guys undetectable by the council. You can resupply the mana and divinity by opening the tube and inserting this." Jaquinn gave a few smaller tubes that are covered in some sort of membrane, and a transparent glass. The contents of the smaller tube contained a powerful energy that Draxus felt slightly pressured on. "So this is divine essence?" Jaquinn nodded as he handed over multiple tubes to Draxus. "Yeah, their principle is similar to lifeforce, but they're much harder to use without proper regulation. We could only get this resource from Arlesk for the time being. Remuel and Serkyrio could make them but they both said that it's too unstable when the two of them expended divine essence." Draxus pondered for a bit slightly and thought about what to do with the tubes given to him. "For now I'll keep it in storage. This trip doesn't involve combat so I'm going to be the only one on guard for it." After the two continued to discuss things, the two spent some time talking about the games they played together while waiting for Draxus's girls to finish. "Been a while since we played five versus five. Once things have calmed down how about all of us play a bit?" Draxus laughed lightly as he brought up that topic of a five versus five. "Having Serkyrio, Arlesk, and Remuel with you guys feels pretty unfair to be honest." Jaquinn simply shrugged off Draxus's words. "What do you mean unfair? You and Harold have greater coordination than Arlesk and I to begin with. Collin is also in your team as well, so you guys have a much more balanced team to be honest." Before they could continue further discussing the their teams. The girls entered the room with various casual clothing. This managed to surprise Draxus as they looked somewhat stunning despite being in Earth's clothing. Wendy was an exception as she already felt like a nice sight even in her normal wear. Before Draxus could take a closer look, he was elbowed by Jaquinn with a smug expression. It was then he complimented each girl on their looks.

After the short time where Draxus was flabbergasted, the group went towards the [Dimensional Laboratory] where Remuel is around to see them off. "Aight, enjoy your field trip. We'll be sending the other Sentinels who are taking their vacation on Earth later." After asking Remuel to take care of things in his stead, Draxus and his fiancés entered the warp gate to Earth.

The first sight that was given to them was a large villa that seemed to be an entirely private estate for use of all members in Preeliance. It was then Draxus remembered something important. "Serkyrio really built an entire estate for each of us..." He facepalmed as to how much money was put into a project like this by Serkyrio. But judging him, the numbers would reach a point where Draxus, whose position is more focused in the financial aspect may have to worry. However, his fiancés were more surprised by how nice the estate looks. "Woaah!! Everything looks so different!" There were four mansions built around the area where each is designed with modern building standards. "So this is Earth... I have to say that the place looks much different than what we're used to seeing." While Gwen expressed great excitement, Matilda was openly shocked about the difference in design when it comes to their homes. "Hmm... Serkyrio said that the Delphinium flowers in the path lead to my mansion. But I'm slightly worried about the expenses used for this, I'll check it after the vacation." Draxus led the girls through a path with bushes and shrubs on the side while Delphinium flowers were grown in the middle patches. "Drax, I knew you were rich but I didn't think you were this rich." Wendy expressed her shock towards Draxus as they arrived to his mansion. The mansion looked more on the modern side and was built similarly to the other mansions. But each mansion had a distinct feature that differentiates each one. And for Draxus, it would be the massive and transparent center spiral staircase that connects to all floors. "Damn, he really built it to my standard." Draxus himself was shocked as to how much budget was spent, but he decided to shrug it off completely for the time being. "For today, how about we explore my mansion." Draxus held up the blueprints and made a quick suggestion.
