Chapter 17 - Chapter 15.5: New Sons Power

The next morning, Harris woke up to see his new son in his arms. He named him Anji, based off a character in a fighting game he liked. He had decided to spend the day with him, by any means necessary. Anji woke up, looking around at his new home and at his new dad. He had overgrown fur and yellow teeth, and his nails looked a bit overgrown. So Harris decided to clean him up and get him looking better, so he started by bathing him in the tub. The bubbles accumulated and got all over the place, which made both of them laugh. All the suds made Anji's extra hair fall out, which showed he was like every other mazoku youngling, androgynous and small. He was also a bit shy about being looked at while nude, but Harris covered him up with bubbles until he was dried off completely. He then found a large T-shirt for him to wear until he found a suitable outfit for him to wear. Anji liked the kind gesture Harris was giving him, and sat down to eat breakfast, which was cereal. He ate it all, and drank the milk in under three minutes, which made him smile. "Good, gotta get your strength up. Come on, we're gonna relax for the day. And get you some clothes." Harris said as he picked Anji up and went outside.

Everything seemed normal for now, no attacks, and no one panicking either. People greeted Harris as he walked by in a casual outfit, and he waved back and was glad everyone was safe. Anji looked around and saw people looked entirely different than how he imagined them to be, with many of them dressed up as either witches, men in suits, some looked like cyborgs, and even beastmen. They all seemed to function very well, making a very honest living for themselves, teaching the mystic arts to young children, and doing business twice as effective than before the war had started. Humans finally learned cooperation and unity, and abandoned old hateful acts like racism, homophobia, human trafficking, and so on. Humanity saw that there was no gain in useless acts like that, and remembered what it was like to be entranced by the concept of mystery. When the reconstruction of the world was happening, they found out that magic was a very reliable source of energy that could could be used for almost anything. They experimented, and found out that everything they had learned with science, magic was able to do as well. However the aptitude for magic was based on the individual and how tuned into the mystical are. That aptitude can increase based on the usage of different magics. The many types of magic depends on the system that's used, from Kabbalah to Thaumaturgy, magic became intertwined with the world once again. There were those that found their magic in science as well, and used the same methods to learn their craft. Harris was pretty good at magic when he first tried it, even though he closed his eyes some times. Harris told him all about how the world came to be so advanced, and Anji was invested in every word of it. They finally got to the clothing store, and Harris bought a pack of short t-shirts and shorts for him to try on. Anji went into a changing room, and the clothes fit very well, so Harris bought some and they both went back to the house.

A while later, Harris got a call from Kamai, saying that he had gotten his own house, and also adopted a kid as well, which surprised Harris since it was all in one day. "Meet me at Shinjuku, I'll show you my new place, and our baby boy." he said, and hung up. Harris picked up Anji and they went to Shinjuku, and saw Kamai's new apartment. It was pretty nice, but needed a new coat of paint and extra furniture. "This is the new pad. Also who's the little goat, the kid from yesterday?" he asked. Harris explained what had happened and Kamai nodded in understanding. A young boy then came into the room, his body was plump, and he had short spiked hair. He only had a pink shirt, yellow shorts, and sandals on. "Ah, meet Suzaku, our little boy." Kamai said. Harris looked in surprise, then nervousness at Suzaku's expression which seemed like he was analyzing him. Harris then thought of something on the spot. "Uh, how about we all go for ice cream...to clear our heads and..stuff." he said, starting to feel his age and how awkward it was to have an adopted son look at you in a strange way. They all agreed and went to an ice cream shop to get some ice cream. They then heard karaoke going on, and Kamai agreed to go first. He sang a song from his favorite anime, which was done pretty well considering he didn't sing much at all. Harris clapped and went up to sing some r&b, which was his favorite. He practiced singing here and there, so he was pretty decent. Suzaku and Anji both clapped for their dad, happiness plastered on their faces. After an hour, they both went out of the shop and decided to keep walking around. But then they walked into a sort of pocket dimension full of skeletons and splattered blood stains everywhere, and someone was standing there in a dark cloak, with a wicked smile on his face. He was a follower of Oliver, that much was certain. He also seemed to have a large scorpion familiar with him, its claws covered in blood and it's stinger dripping with poison. Divine powers created the space and the scorpion, so escape wasn't possible unless the caster was beaten. "So you're the whelps that tried to destroy our god...for that you shall pay. Kill them my scorpion!!" the man yelled, and the scorpion attacked all four of them. Harris summoned a hellish golem to protect the boys while they fought the scorpion that grew in size, and made extra claws. Kamai swung his new sword at it, which was a peach wood sword he had ordered from a pen pal in China, and it was just as effective as a real sword. Harris summoned a small pixie that was empowering his magic and shooting powerful bolts of pure mana. Anji and Suzaku looked in surprise at the combat, and they both saw the caster was unprotected. They both thought that they should help at least, so Suzaku started to chant a spell. "Flame shining, waters boiling, I summon a guardian to vanquish this cursed caster...um...hydro..pyro...swirling...splashing..Bursting Steam Bomb!" he said as he sent a blast of steam into the caster's eyes, blinding him. Anji chanted as well. "Um..fae far and wide, gather your dust in my hands. Be rid this creature of darkness and break this field. Glitter Sprinkler." he said, and the scorpion began to fall apart, and the barrier crumbled down.

Harris and Kamai looked at the boys with surprise and were impressed they attempted spellcasting for themselves. The man had vanished already, but it was clear the boys were pretty good, so they all agreed to enroll in school, and live with Harris's mother until the situation with Oliver was finished. Harris went home with Anji later on, and he called his mom and dad to tell them about what had happened
