Chapter 266 - Side Story 53: Fae, Dragon, Kemonomimi Lolis

The squad entered the premises with the other devils and they just occupied a corner. Putting up a pretty large table. Starting their tea time, especially because they have a couple of Brits, like Artoria, Mordred, Melusine, and Morgan.

They eyed all the participants, Yasaka and Amaterasu came with Kunou. The little fox immediately went to them with a wide smile.

"Dad!" Kunou jumped on him and shared Ein's lap with Ophis who was eating some scones while having tea. "Kunou-chan, good to see you." Ophis gave a nod to her playmate, making Kunou smile once again.

"How's this little fox doing?" Ein asked Yasaka who was wearing a formal kimono and the Pokemom gave a wry smile. "Pretty good, if you don't count Kunou suddenly disappearing somewhere with Ophis. They do ask for permission first, but I don't know where Ophis takes her."

"Ahhh, sorry. We play at Ein's magical theme park that he created. It's a whole different dimension with rides and stuff." Ophis replied with a blank face.

"Un! We have a lot of fun, though I want to have more companions. Not that it's boring with just you there, Ophis-chan!" Kunou explained further.

Melusine then eyed them and looked at Morgan, her queen, for permission. "Hah, you may go, Melusine. It's fine, this isn't fairy Britain. We don't have responsibilities here unless Ein-sama or Bellatrix-sama calls." Morgan gave a sigh.

Melusine's eyes then sparkled. "Ohhhh, can I join you guys?" Melusine fidgeted for a bit, embarrassed that she asked to come with.

"Un! The more the merrier, isn't that right Ophis-chan?" Kunou looked at Ophis and the two dragons that had blank faces on, nodded at each other at the same time.

"Awww, look at their blank faces. They're so happy." Ein smiled and the other servants couldn't really tell.

Kunou, Ophis, and Melusine started running off somewhere. Leaving the main group, going to the table where food is served first so they could eat the desserts.

"Un, let's get those." Melusine pointed at the cupcakes and Ophis pointed at some tiramisu. She is a dragon god, so she likes to be extra sometimes.

"Shouldn't it be the cookies first? You guys definitely have no idea what the dessert etiquette is." Kunou puffed her chest and her tails swayed while having a smug smile.

"What do you mean?" Melusine tilted her head, remembering how Morgan was at the dining table. Her master was eating tea cakes while drinking a cup.

"Huhun, I've created a comprehensive guide on how to eat as much dessert as possible! Daddy Ein's treats are too good after all. So I created this!" Kunou took out a little pocket book from her storage that Ein gave her and she was proud.

"Ohhhh." Melusine and Ophis looked at it like it was the bible. Subconsciously treating Kunou as the prophet. Because Ein's food deserves a religion in their minds.

"Step 1 is to analyze the treats, we need to make an outline so we can continue to step 2! Which is, to have the light ones first. Like cookies and biscuits so we will have room for cakes!" Kunou lifted up her pocket book and the two nodded intently.

"Yasaka-san... Are you really teaching your daughter properly? I don't know about you, but she looks like she's starting a cult." Atalanta stared at Yasaka who had her ears flop down in embarrassment.

"I do! It's just... I don't know, she loves Ein-sama's food too much. It's all she thinks about, spending time with Ophis and Melusine. Then having treats after a long day. It's basically her ritual now to eat cookies for a reward, I blame him." Yasaka pointed at Ein and pouted.

"What? You're with Kunou more. This is a two way street, Yasaka. I give her indulgence and you try to make her more responsible. This is the modern age now, as a mother. You can also teach her those, not only me." Ein snorted and Yasaka couldn't retort.

"He's got you there Yasaka." Scàthach nodded at his words and Ein gave her a thumbs up.

"Hah, whatever. If she becomes fat and depressed, I'm blaming you." Yasaka huffed at him and Ein laughed. "You must've forgot woman! I can do everything." Ein gave a smug smile and Yasaka bit her lip in frustration. As her fox like nature can't accept that she can't get one over him.

The three Lolis then saw the Satans and Ophis immediately pointed at one of them. "Ohhhh, shiny. Just like a globe." Ophis commented at Falbium Asmodeus.

"Un, baldy. So smooth and shiny, just like a lollipop." Melusine nodded and Kunou analyzed the person in question. "Umu, just like a candied apple."

Sirzechs and Ajuka had cramped smile on their faces, but they can't even try to tell them that's rude. As Ophis's dead fish eyes were staring at them intently. And they knew they'd be dead meat if they even try to argue.

The Lolis were about to resume their mission for the greatest dessert feast. But another kid went up to them. And she has white horns, dressed as a goth Loli. "Tasty?" She pointed at their food and they nodded. (pic)

"Umu, they are." Melusine nodded at her and offered a cookie. The kid then munched on it with one bite. Eating the treat quickly and efficiently.

"Un, tasty. I'm Kanna Kamui, nice to meet you." Kanna gave a succinct greeting and she got snatched by Tohru that was frantically trying to find her.

"Kanna! You can't go here, we were supposed to wait for Ein-sama to return home!" Tohru chided her and Kanna pouted at her.

"But Tohru-sama. You said that your master will be here, I want to meet him. I will make sure he is worthy." Kanna made a guts pose and Tohru gave her a noogie.

Ein then went up to them, he stared at Kanna and she cowered behind Tohru. "Hey kid, want something magical?" Ein smirked at her like a drug dealer that was about to ruin a young kid's life.

Kanna gulped and was really nervous. "Ummm. Yes?" Kanna didn't know what to say and just agreed.

"Then close your eyes and open your mouth." Ein ordered her and Kanna anxiously obeyed. He then put a piece of caramel inside her mouth and Kanna went wide eyed.

She started chewing the caramel immediately and finished it off quickly. She then looked at him sadly, thinking that the experience was done already.

"Here you go, how about another?" Ein gave her a handful of chewy caramel again and Kanna's tail swayed left and right with excitement.

"Ahhh! That's unfair! Ein-sama, me too! Me too! Ahhhn~" Tohru closed her eyes and asked to be fed as well.

"Hah, what am I gonna do with you Tohru." Ein sighed and was about to put a piece in her mouth, but Elma bumped against her and waited as well.

"Me three!" Elma gave Tohru a side glance and the maid dragon was furious. "How dare you delay Ein-sama's blessing to me Elma! If you wanna die, then say no more!" Tohru's chest immediately burned up a bright blue, accumulating obscene amounts of energy. Enough to sink an entire continent to the bottom of the ocean.

"Bring it on punk! Ein-sama's treats are worth a death match! I'll kill you to get more if that's what it takes!" Elma matched her and everybody there that had even an inkling of skill to detect mana got nervous.

"Bad girls, you don't deserve these anymore then." Ein huffed at them and gave the treats to Kunou, Ophis, and Melusine.

"Thank you." Melusine and Ophis nodded at Elma and Tohru for their sacrifice. They then did an orz, seeing that they done fucked up.

Tohru and Elma gnashed their teeth, their rage was through the roof. "Elma... YOU FUCKING BITCH! I'll kill you!" Tohru's thicc tail swiped at Elma like a whip and the force of the shockwave that resulted destroyed the venue.

"Yare yare, they're like cats and dogs." Ein sighed and shook his head. Tiamat furrowed her brows, seeing dragons that exceed Ddraig and Albion were about to have a god damned death match for some cookies.

And it wasn't for rivalry, but for a grudge. Everyone can feel the murderous intent wafting out of Tohru and Elma. Making the weaker devils and guests froth at the mouth.

"Tohru, calm down you dork." Ein patted her head and her murderous aura that would stop the heart of everyone who was weak vanished like it wasn't even there.

"E-Ein-sama..." Tohru looked at him and smiled loosely like a dork. Ein then threw a cake in the air and one wild Elma caught it in the air. She then got really happy and all was fine and dandy.

"Those girls are crazy. It's like they have mad enhancement or something." Arcueid laughed, thinking that Tohru and Elma were really true to their desires.

"Kanna, remember to be good okay? Don't be too impulsive like them." Ein patted Kanna and the dragon Loli nodded with a pur.

"Un..." She stared at him, thinking if that's how parents teach their kids. Unlike her parents that neglected her for centuries because of preparing for a war against the opposite faction.

"Ohhh, I know. Do you want to have a lot of friends?" Ein smiled at Kanna and Ophis. Kunou's ears then perked up.

"Daddy, you're gonna introduce us to more friends?" Kunou's tails swayed and Ein gave them a warm smile. He then called for the Loli brigade in Teyvat.

"Boom boom bakudan! I'm Klee, the spark knight!" Klee knew that she was going to meet new friends and brought some IED's as a gift and gave it to them.

"Is that... A bomb?" Yasaka saw the IED and it looked like an explosive, making her facepalm. Thinking that even the kids he was friends with are crazy or something.

"Nya? A fox?" Diona sniffed Kunou and the fox tickled her nose with her tail. "Ein-nii, coconuts milku." Qiqi raised her hands and wanted to be spoiled. As she hadn't received some coconut milk for some time now.

Ein gave her one and the others had milkshakes. "Now, go along now. Have some fun." Ein pushed them together and Kunou wanted to integrate them to her dessert cult immediately as the messiah.

"Ahem, Ein-san... Now that debacle's finished, we are actually here because we're going to talk about what the young devils have for their dreams and aspirations." Sirzechs explained with a wry smile and Ajuka coughed.

"Fine, fine. You guys and your boring talks. Go on then." Ein went back to his group and just put out a table so they can silently watch what they will be doing, menacingly.

"Now, we have these notable devils from the Bael, Agares, Sitri, and Astaroth clan. Please do tell us how you'll impact the underworld." Sirzechs called on the heirs and they stepped up.

"Me... I want to let all the devils have equal opportunity." Sairaorg clenched his fist, remembering the discrimination and segregation he and his mother experienced from not having the Bael trait, the power of destruction.

"Admirable, but how will you do that. You know that not everyone is equal. And some will achieve more than the rest." Ajuka challenged his beliefs and he gave a fierce smile.

"Then I'll be their hope, the symbol who can do anything with nothing. I started from the bottom, lower even. Without support and society as my opponent. I'll show them that nothing can't be achieved by just lobbying around. We have millennia to make the best version of ourselves, the only thing stopping us. Is our own arrogance and indolence." Sairaorg crossed his arms and confidently puffed his chest.

"Hmmm, I like that kid. He'll be a great leader of the devils one day. Traumatize him." Ein said to Tohru and she was about to murder his family when Lucoa stopped her.

"Tohru, he's just joking." Lucoa then deadpanned at Ein. "Sorry, I forgot that Tohru would just do it without any thought." He gave a wry smile.

"She was about to murder his whole clan wasn't she?" Achilles asked his companions. And they all nodded, Tohru was about to teleport in a heartbeat.

"What about you, Rias-chan?" Serafall asked her as Sirzechs doing that will be get political quickly. "Well, my impact to the underworld will be through my peerage. I have been humbled earlier, the world is dangerous. And I gained power, I realized that life is so fragile and worthless. So me and my peerage changed that. And we will be the vanguard of the underworld. So the next generations can grow up and live a fulfilling life without fighting."

Rias answered and Sirzechs was almost in tears as a siscon. Seeing that his sister has matured really well because of Ein's influence.

"How about the Sitri heir?" Falbium looked at Sona with tired eyes as his major sin was sloth. "Me? I also had a realization... That nothing great in this world can be achieved by being good enough. Me and Rias were like that once. So we improved, and with our newfound abilities. I will establish an institution that will help low class and middle class devils achieve higher. As I believe that my privilege as a pureblooded noble. It is my duty to help them and elevate the underworld to unprecedented levels."

Now, it was Serafall's turn to almost cry. As she thought that her sister's ambition was really honorable. Very undevil like really.

Seekvaira and Latia gave pretty generic answers as they weren't really interested in the topic. But after answering, an invader came inside the place that had ridiculous hair, looking like a wilted tall weed.

"What is this foolishness. The three major factions having alliances with others? This is not the way, Odin." The man singled out an old guy with an eye patch on.

"Loki... I thought I locked you up in the dungeons back in Asgard? But I guess you're too driven in the idea of Ragnarok." Odin squinted his eyes.

"Loki, huh? Not what I'd expect here. He was such an excited little boy in my place. But here, he looks like a little douche." Bayonetta commented and Loki scoffed at her.

"Who are you anyways to stop me? A god? I will bring Ragnarok to the world and I'll create a paradise for the real inhabitants of this place, the Asgardians!" Loki shouted out in his 3rd rate villain monologue.

"Hey, Satans. This is your venue, right? You gonna do something or what? If we do, we're gonna charge you." Ein looked at the Satans and Ajuka immediately used his Kankara formula.

It was a set of programs using magic to analyze and dismantle every magic that he manages to decipher. He then used it to nullify Loki's divinity and mana. Imprisoning him in seals and teleported him away.

"That won't last, it was a last minute thing." Ajuka commented and Odin sighed. "Sorry young'uns. One of my people is causing troubled. But I guess you can't do something about it, right?" Odin furrowed his brows.

"Yes, Asgard and its inhabitants will say that we set it up and use this incident as leverage to not be in the alliance. What a messy turn of events." Serafall sighed and wished she could just blast him to kingdom come.

"Dear oh dear, I don't really do this much. But I'll take care of that boy. Loki is a fond name for me, see? I just can't stomach that he has the same name as a friend of mine." Bayonetta walked up and equipped her new guns.

"Hey, Ein-nii? Is the lady over there going to make him explode? We wanna come with!" Klee cheered and the other Lolis perked up.

"Hmmm, now that I think about it. This will be mighty fun for you, girls. Now, have this and use it for emergencies only okay? Use your standard gear. Go and do a crime." Ein handed them some knick knack Paddy whack special guns for security.

"Waiii! Come on! Ein-nii will definitely give us some treats when we come back!" Diona's ears twitched and her tail swayed as she drooled. Imagining the fatty tuna and a-5 beef as a reward.

"Sure, sure. Go on and get em!" Ein pushed them to Bayonetta and they teleported to where they were. Meanwhile, at Rias' side. Koneko's ears twitched as she sniffed. Smelling a familiar scent and aura, she then used her new abilities for stealth. Turning practically invisible with Senjutsu and went to the familiar aura.

__

Koneko ran and furrowed her brows, remembering who the person she just felt. She then stopped on her tracks when she arrived at a forest like area. "What are you doing here, nee-san." Koneko spoke and a black cat with two tails transformed into a human. (pic)

"Hello, Shirone nya. It's so nice to see you again. Didn't you miss nee-san? Why are you so cold?" The cat girl teased her and Koneko stared at her coldly.

The woman flinched, seeing the silent gaze of her sister. Filled with animosity and anger at her. "Kuroka nee-san. Why'd you leave me to die at their hands?" Koneko asked her and Kuroka was shocked. Not really knowing that killing her devil master that experimented on her to be a super devil would bring that kind of experience to her sister.

"Yeah, why'd you leave her? Huh?" Ein appeared behind her and whispered like a ghost that just appeared.

"Nya!" Kuroka jumped away like a cat that got snuck up on by a cucumber. She then started to get nervous. As a criminal, Kuroka knows the really dangerous guys. And Ein was on the top of the list, no questions asked.

Ein then sat down at a chair and took out a glass of wine. Watching the drama unfold.

Kuroka noted that he was likely just going to observe and won't do anything. "Shirone... Nee-san is sorry. You don't understand, I couldn't take you with me."

Koneko was still immature and thought that her sister abandoned her. But she asked Gasper to investigate the crimes of her sister and the cross dressing vampire got info that Kuroka was being experimented on by their master.

"But why?" Koneko had a pained expression on her face and Ein face palmed. "You know, you girls are such a pain in the ass. You there, black kitty. Your answer should be straight to the point. Not OhH I cAn'T tAKe YoU WiTh mE. It should be, I killed our master because you would be inevitable next and I can't bare to see you live your young life as a run away criminal with me." Ein gave her a verbal beatdown.

Kuroka hung her head low and Koneko was surprised. "And you, Koneko. Your sister's been through a lot. You already know that from Gasper's Intel. You shouldn't be interrogating her, ask nicely. It should be, what made you leave me behind." Ein chided her too and nobody was safe.

"Now, continue." Ein sipped his wine irritably and the siblings nodded subconsciously. "That's basically it, Shirone... I didn't want to leave you, but that was the best choice... I didn't know they would try to execute your for what I did." Kuroka frowned heavily and Koneko was speechless.

"I see. I need to think about this." She then left and Kuroka tried reaching out to her, but she knows that the damage has already been done.

"Such a sad story, a better one than twilight for sure. So, how about a little proposition little kitty?" Ein smirked at her and she didn't like where this was going.

"W-what nya?" Kuroka gulped as she knew that escaping was meaningless. "How about I let you build a relationship with your sister again. I am missing a piece." Ein took out his last pawn piece and Kuroka stared at it intently.

She understood that she would instantly have diplomatic immunity if she accepts. And she could do whatever the hell she wants. Even walk at the capital of the underworld and nobody will try to do anything.

"That's a no brainer nya..." Kuroka immediately snatched the piece and put it inside her chest. A magic circle then appeared and a guy that looked like he was from the journey to the west appeared.

"Shit... Kuroka, so you're going to detach yourself from team Vali huh?" The guy that was wielding a stick sighed.

"Of course nya. This is the best decision, Bikou I'm not stupid. Hanging out with Khaos Brigade won't get me anything." Kuroka snorted.

"Hey, monkey king wannabe. Tell Vali that he's being overtaken by the red one at this moment. He better train hard, or my little pawn will beat his ass black and blue." Ein smirked at him and he immediately teleported away before Ein decides to mess with him or something.

"So, master... About that." Kuroka was really worried as what she always wanted was to just have a nice life with her sister.

"She'll come around. Wait patiently." Ein patted her head and they returned to the venue to watch the Loli brigade thrash Loki.

__

At the middle of nowhere in the underworld. A pyramid of magical energy that sealed Loki was at the middle of the sky. And it was slowly being degraded by Loki to escape.

The Loli brigade and Bayonetta arrived at the scene. "Alright kiddies, I'll be taking care of that guy that's inside there. He'll be calling for support any minute now. I can feel it, you back me up okay?" Bayonetta smiled at them and they saluted.

"Aye, ma'am!" Klee put on a serious face, but she couldn't help it and gave an excited smile.

"So? We just wait for that guy to escape out of there? Why not make it faster." Melusine took out one of her spears that looked like a clock hand and fired a laser at the pyramid.

But it completely went through it and it shattered, revealing a Loki that had a gaping hole in his chest from Melusine's attack.

"Oops." Melusine gave a sheepish smile at Bayonetta and Ophis raised her hands. "Don't worry, I'll fix em up." She healed Loki and even gave him a power up that almost made him explode to give Bayonetta a nice time.

"Ophis, deary. You didn't have to do that. But it's really appreciated." Bayonetta gave her one of her lollipops and Ophis accepted it gingerly.

"Bad guys, where?" Kanna looked around and shadow boxed the air. Ready to beat someone up.

"You... I'll have my children deal with your foolish decision to bring kids here!" Loki summoned Fenrir, Jormungandr, Skoll, and Hati.

"Ugh, you didn't have to put that image into my head. You procreated with animals?" Bayonetta raised a brow at Loki.

"Yosh! Loli brigade! It's time for boom boom bakudan!" Klee pointed at the enemies and they equipped their weapons.

Ophis just ate her lollipop silently as she knew that interfering will just end things too quickly.

"I'll take on that worm." Melusine pointed at Jormungandr and the others nodded, satisfied with fighting against Fenrir and his sons.

"Private Qiqi! Engage in fire support!" Klee ordered and Qiqi went into position for sniping. "Aye."

Diona that was already in her fencer exo suit rushed at the god eating wolves and began the fight with a handheld artillery shotgun right at Fenrir's face.

"Ohhhh~" Kanna watched on in awe with Kunou. While Yasaka was biting her nails in anxiety at watching her kid square up against Fenrir of all things.

"You're one crazy dad, sending your kid to fight against Fenrir. No god is safe from that wolf's fangs except Great red and Ophis." Amaterasu deadpanned at Ein who was watching things unfold while eating popcorn.

"Eh, she'll be fine. It will be a great experience, better fight the best at the start so she won't struggle against mobs, am I right?" Ein smiled.

Melusine went cqc against Jormungandr and slugged the serpent on the face. Giving out cute sounds that was the opposite of her blows that created shockwaves at every hit.

"Damn, that little girl is having a fist fight with one of the dragon kings..." Tiamat couldn't believe her eyes and realized that her companions were crazier than she thought.

Melusine then grabbed onto its head and wrestled it to the ground. She used her mana burst as thrusters and went to the tip of its tail. Grabbing onto it, she started spinning around and threw the gigantic serpent against a mountain.

"Cool~" Kanna that was observing things was really impressed and she looked at Skoll and Hati. "Those doggies are my opponents?" Kanna looked at Ophis for answers and she nodded.

Kanna then began charging up electricity between her hands and released a Kamehameha. It gave off a ringing sound because of the electricity and it crashed right onto Skoll and Hati.

Plasma turned the ground into molten lava and lightning crackled violently. Klee then gave her a thumbs up, but she didn't want to be overshadowed.

So she used her little UI to call in for air support. Stealth bombers quickly arrived and they carpet bombed Fenrir that was being kept busy by Qiqi and Diona.

"Ein-san... Those kids have really dangerous toys with them." Yasaka squinted her eyes at him and Ein shrugged. "Well of course they are. That's how you know they've been trained by the best. You don't see them fumbling with it." Ein gave a smug smile at her.

Yasaka couldn't retort and knew he was right. The kids were experts at using them and it was much better than not knowing how to protect themselves.

Fenrir howled in pain, but he basically just received scratches and singes on his fur and hide. He then got angrier, seeing that Skoll and Hati received some injuries from Kanna's attack.

Like a wild beast, Fenrir immediately charged through Diona's attacks and went for the seemingly unprotected looking Kunou. But it was a mistake, as she did a quickdraw and fired her Glock at his foot that stopped him in his tracks.

Fenrir gave a pained shriek as his paw received an injury that was the worst one he ever felt in his life. "Take that! You think I'm gonna be dog food? No way!" Kunou gave a smug smile.

"Looks like your little children are getting their asses handed to them?" Bayonetta chuckled and Loki's rage went through the roof.

He started using runes and pelted Bayonetta with magical spells. But she used witch time and just weaved through it all with a confident smile.

"So slow~" Bayonetta then fired a bullet that was aimed right at his forehead. She got pleasantly surprised by the recoil of her new guns and it showed its destructive capabilities. As the bullet that got shot out by the railgun crashed right at Loki's magic shield and tore through it like paper.

"Wow, such good babies you are." Bayonetta looked at her new guns with a smile. Loki was able to dodge getting hit on the head because Ophis strengthened him. And the bullethole on his torso quickly regenerated because of the intense power up.

"Guhahahaha! I'm invincible! You can't kill me!" Loki got in his head as he felt the rush of power. Bayonetta shook her head and fixed her glasses.

"Oh darling, you're not that smart as well huh? But I already knew that." Bayonetta danced and her clothes got shorter as a black hand appeared from a portal. Madama butterfly then smacked Loki from the sky and he plowed through several mountains.

"Hey, this is really entertaining. I should probably let the kids handle more things like this, no?" Ein gave a smile.

"Most certainly not! They're kids you know?" Jeanne refused immediately and Ein snorted. "My kids are younger than them you know?" Ein raised a brow at her and Jeanne went speechless, remembering that Alexis and the others were basically school age children.

They then watched Loki get beaten up like a punching bag with his children. "Umm, Ein-sama! Ein-sama! Is that perhaps an exoskeleton!?" Seekvaira walked up to Ein and held his hands tightly, entering her fangirl mode.

"Umu, I created that for Diona and our soldiers for the earth defense force back home." Ein smiled at her and knew that Seekvaira was cultured in the art of mechas and technology.

"For real!? Uhh. Can I please have one as well? I'll definitely do anything!" Seekvaira got heated and she forgot her prim and proper shtick.

"Well, I don't really know how to price it. I know, how about you get to know Fuxi and Nuwa. They really like their gundams and mechs too. Those girls don't have much friends because of that though." Ein nodded and thought having another one in their circle that was passionate about their hobby will make them happy.

"You have gundams and mechs!? Please! Please let me see them!" Seekvaira's excitement was palpable.

"Uwaaah, she got roped in. Now she can't ever escape from there. Ein-sama's the true devil, he'll attract you with your desires and then corrupt you." Sona commented and Rias nodded.

"Yeah... He's the devil alright." Rias sighed and prayed for Seekvaira's wellbeing.

Thanks for reading everyone. Had a rough 80 hour work week. Anyways, I'm still alive unfortunately. Waiting to get isekai'd still.
