Skyward Household
Akeno pulled me into my room and closed the door. Once we were in there, she turned around and hugged me. I also hugged her back.
"So, mind telling me— Wait no, is this about what I did back in school?"
I asked and she nodded while keeping her head on my chest. I sigh, this girl…
"I know… I know I seem even clingier than before, but can you blame me…? Y-You finally proposed to me, and I've been so happy since then. Every time I see you my heart just beats faster… Saying that out loud is embarrassing…"
Akeno complained and tried to bury herself further into my chest. I just chuckle and start petting her.
[Tell herrrrrr!!]
Ddraig, shut up. This isn't the right time to do that.
"Well, let me spoil you just a little more than usual."
I created a barrier around the room and prepared myself for a long night.
…
Lemon Start
Tilting Akeno's head up, I capture her lips and kiss her gently. It's fine, we have time and the girls should have an idea of what Akeno wants right now so they shouldn't interrupt us.
"Ahn… Nnh…"
Akeno presses her lips back against mine, looking entranced.
"Amh, nh… Auhn… Chu… Nnh…"
Heated breaths leaking out from her lips. We placed our lips together, driven by instinct. It seemed weirdly sweeter than normal, but I wasn't going to complain.
"I love you, Akeno…"
"Nnh… Fh… I love you so much… Nnh… Chu… Aah…"
Momentarily breaking out of our kiss, I declare my love for her again and then keep kissing her, but she also does the same while gazing at me with love-filled eyes. We both stick out our tongues and tangle them together. Our kissing naturally becomes more heated.
"Mmh… Aah… Mmpf… Aaahh…"
A thick string of saliva spans our lips when we part. Akeno's mouth is already covered with our saliva, the same as mine. I feel Akeno gently feel my member through my pants as she smiles at me.
"Hehe… Jin junior seems to be ready ~"
Akeno leans in closer to me and whispers something I wasn't expecting.
"Can I have a baby yet?"
She pulls away and looks at me meekly. I was stunned to say the least. I for one, didn't expect or see Akeno as the type to want a child, especially at this young of an age.
"Akeno…"
"Ufufu ~ I'm partially serious, Jin… Maybe not now, but definitely in the future. Let's go…"
She admits and then takes a hold of my hand and brings me over to my bed. I touch her clothes and they fly off her, and I do the same to mine. By the time we reached my bed, we were completely naked.
…
"Ah, uuuh ~ …I-I don't think anyone's going to come here, b-but if someone did come in and saw me like this… I don't think I could live it down…"
Akeno muttered a bit embarrassed, but I could also tell that she was extremely aroused as she was already wet as I held her. She's quite weak to vanilla and very wholesome sex, so when she initiates it, it's usually a lot more rough and kinkier. However, my favorite is when she's like this.
I was sitting on the bed with Akeno in front of me. I held her small frame close, holding her arms tight and with both our private parts exposed. In a way, it was reverse cow girl but I was still sitting up and had control. I rubbed my member against Akeno making her quietly moan.
"I already have the barrier, so don't worry too much."
"T-They can still walk in you know..."
I lean in close again and whisper into her ear.
"…I'm putting it in, okay?"
"Ah… Mmm, I-I want it… I want your dick in me, Jin…!"
Her voice is trembling, but she's clearly turned on. There's nothing I can do to hold myself back once I hear her say it like that. As a result, I inserted my member into her.
Squelch ~
"Fuah, aaah… It's coming insiiide… Nnh, nnnhh ~~~!!"
"Kh, ghh…!"
W-What the hell? Why is she even tighter than usual…? Her narrow entrance clamps down on my member almost painfully tight. But once I get the head in, I get it all the way in up to the base in one go.
"Guuh?! Ah… Ah… W-What is this….?! It's rubbing so deeply..."
Usually when I penetrate the girls that I sleep with, I don't shove it all in one go since most of the time they can't take it all. Only on rare occasions when I try to hit the entrance of their womb to make them go crazy, but today…
"Holy shit… Akeno…"
Her vagina is astonishingly hot today… Her juices spill out, drop down my member, and onto my crotch.
"Hauh… I'm too wet… I'm sorry… I'll definitely get the sheets dirty tonight… Aaaauuuhhh… N-No wait, Jin… You can't move yet…!"
I ignore Akeno's pleas and start swinging my hips. I hold her body up and rub up her insides. At the same time, I take one hand and start massaging her breasts.
"Hyyyaaaannn!! Not there… Not my boobs… They feel too good…"
"But I want to..."
I whisper in her ear and lightly bite it, making her moan again. At the same time, I grop her marshmallow-like boobs. I knead her nipples with my fingers as I thrust upward with my hips.
"Fuah! Noo, at the same time… Aaahh… It's too much… Your hard dick… Nnh, aah… Mixing up my insides…"
In spite of Akeno's weakness for this kind of sex, she still tried to entice me. So I slowly, intensely thrust against her deepest parts to loosen her up.
"Aaahh?! You're grinding, deep… Inside… All the way… Nyo… You can't go further…"
"A dead end, huh…? Maybe we can try going deeper…?"
"Aaaafhhnnn!! N-No, that's not…! I-I think… It's because my womb moved down… Aahnn, aaah… you got harder… Jin…"
Akeno looked back at me teary-eyed. My heart felt like it had been stabbed with a sharp knife, but it felt nice, warm and fuzzy. I started to grind against it eliciting more moans from Akeno. She's adorable, very much so, but I feel like right now, she's even more so and it's making me go crazy… ! Shit why is she so damn adorable?!
"Aaaahnn, hhgnn… Guh?! A-Aaahhnn… W-Wait, Jin…!"
Akeno was clamping down even harder as she kept on moaning as I thrust and grinded against her lowered womb. Hearing her sweet moans I started to thrust even wilder and with more force making her eyes widen.
"That's, noooo…. Nnh nnnnhh ~~~~~~~… Aah, aaaahhhh!!! I love you… Hyauh… I love youuu… I love you, I love you, I love you… Aaah…!"
Akeno screamed in my arms.
"Let me hear more of you, Akeno…! I love you too…!"
"I'm so happy… Nnhyauh… Aaaahhnn?! A-Aaaannh… I love you sho muuuccch…!"
Akeno's body tenses up, her insides undulate and tangle around me. Shit… I can't… Akeno also senses this and she tightens even more. It feels like she's trying to rip my dick off…
"Cum… You're going to cummm! Inside me… Fuuuaaahh! Cum…! Make me even more happy… Jin! Ah, ah, aaaaahhhh!!!"
"Khh…!"
I start thrusting frantically, matching Akeno's movements. The tip of my member grinds against her deepest walls. Skull-piercing pleasure starts to build up inside me.
"Fuah, aaah… I love you, I love you… I love you shooo musshhh… A-Aahhhnn…! I'm going to cum… I'm… Going to…. Cummm!!!"
She screamed.
"Me too, Akeno…!"
I answered back and she started to furiously nod.
"Okay, okay, okay! Do it! Cum together with me… Jin…! Aahn, ah, ah… cumming, cumming, cumming… I'm going to cum…! Ah, ah, aaaahhnnn…. Aaaaaahhhhhhhh ~~~~~~~~~!!"
"Khhh….!"
Splurt ~ Splurt ~
"Aaahh… It's here… Semen… Splurting out… I can feel it entering my womb… So hot…"
I keep swinging my hips as I let everything I have inside her. My crotch feels like it's being enveloped in warmth. I can tell that I was filling her up quite a bit. I strangely felt satisfied both in my body and soul…
"Nnh, nnh… Aaaah… It's still twitching… There's so much… I'm so happy… Nnh…"
Akeno closes her eyes, reveling happily in the sensation. I hold her body close as I let everything out. Again, we kiss, and this time it gets sloppy quickly, but she pulls away first, leaving me confused.
"Again… I want to be with you for the next couple of hours…"
"Yeah, I feel the same way, Akeno."
And so, for the next few hours, inside my room, with the barrier up, we made love.
Lemon End
…
8 Hours Later
"Zzzzzzz...…"
A couple of hours had passed and Akeno was sleeping soundly on my bed. The whole eight hours were filled with wholesome lovey-dovey sex, and I'm pretty sure Akeno kept on saying 'I love you' and passed out a few times.
I look back at Akeno and stroke her hair. But… She also wants a kid now too, huh? Grayfia, Lavinia, Kuroka, Yasaka and Akeno. Geez I'm going to have a lot of kids in the future… Multiversal or Omniversal destroying kids…
I felt my lips twitch at the thought. I hope they're all behaved and don't get into a rebellious phase…
Knock ~ Knock ~
"Come in."
The door opened and Suzaku stepped inside. She came here again… I wonder if she has more spare time now that the new systems and rules are starting to take shape? Well, whatever the case may be, I'm just glad to see her being here more often.
"Jin… Ah, she's asleep?"
She came over and sat beside Akeno and stroked her head too, earning a cute but muffled groan from her. We chuckled at this.
"Yeah, eight hours can do that to you."
As I finish saying that, Suzaku catches her breath at what I implied.
"Anyway, you're back again today, huh? Did you miss me already?"
"…Yes, I did. I wanted to see you; however, it seems like I came at the right time… Akeno, I'm pretty sure she was ovulating today. I know you're safe to… You know finish inside of them, but did she say anything to you about it?"
"..."
I felt my eyes widening and I looked at the sleeping Akeno again. Holy fuck, is that why she asked for a baby?! Thank you past me! For making that decision months ago and making my own sperm unable to get someone pregnant!
"I can see from your reaction that she didn't… Did she ask you to…?"
"Yeah she did. But she wasn't the first one to ask me. Lavinia, Grayfia and Yasaka previously asked me. Today, Akeno did. Honestly, I was expecting her to ask me it a lot sooner than now, but eh, what can you do?"
I lightly chuckle and stroke Akeno's hair again and pet her lightly. But when I looked at Suzaku again, she seemed to be thinking about something. I feel Suzaku hold my free hand and she stares at me in the eyes.
"I think Auntie Shuri wants a lot of grandchildren, as does Uncle Baraqiel. I want your children in the future too, Jin."
She says with weird conviction, again, I was stunned... Suzaku, we haven't even been on a date yet, or had sex, where's this coming from?! No wait, is she going with the Natsume route? Does she want… No wait, we're already dating…
"Jin… You're overthinking this. I'm just saying they probably would want grandchildren in the future, especially aunt Shuri since she has the normal life span of a human, so you may want to…"
She trails off, but I get what she means. I should try to have kids with Akeno or someone so she can see them before she dies again. I want to ask her if she wants to extend her life. However, she'll probably refuse... I want her to say yes, so we can spend more time with each other. I mean, they already said I'm part of the family…
"I know, I'll try to but I want to try to convince her to at least increase her life span if she doesn't want to be immortal."
Suzaku smiled at me with a troubled expression, but she gave me a look that said she understood how I felt. Looking back at Akeno one more time, I snap my fingers to put my clothes on and get out of bed.
"Let's let her sleep for now and go somewhere else."
Suzaku agreed with my suggestion and we left the room. However, instead of heading downstairs, she grabs a hold of my hand and leads me up a few flights of stairs and we end up on the top floor of my home. She leads me near the railings and we stare out into the night sky.
"It makes me wonder what kind of night skies other worlds have. Are they the same? Are they worse than ours? Better? I started thinking about things like this when you first told me about… Well, everything. There are worlds, universes out there— An infinite amount. I want to be there with you for all of them, Jin."
She says while looking at me. I… I feel like the Himejima's today are trying to score a home run in my heart. What the hell is happening right now…? I let out an exasperated sigh and looked at Suzaku.
"I swear you Himejimas are all a handful…"
Suzaku becomes surprised and looks at me worriedly.
"Um, Jin? D-Did I say something wr—"
I cut her off by hugging her. While she was surprised by it, she didn't resist and said, "I'll just do this so I won't say or do anything unnecessary. Because I was very, very close to outrightly and casually proposing to her there.
"You'd hate it if I casually proposed to you, right?"
Suzaku froze after I said that, but I felt her shake her head.
"No… I don't particularly care how you do it. Being with you is enough, even if we don't have a traditional wedding… Although I believe Aunt Shuri may have a few words to say about that."
"Pfft, yeah, you're right about that."
We laughed when we thought about Shuri blowing up at us if we said we didn't want some kind— No, any kind of wedding. I believe she would prefer to see some kind of wedding ceremony for at least Akeno, no, at this point she'll probably say she wants to see the majority of the women I'm in a relationship with, in some kind of wedding dress.
"Then, will you marry me, Suzaku Himejima?"
"Mmm. Yes, I will. Please make me immortal too…"
"Sure thing."
After I kissed her again and made her immortal, Suzaku seemed quite pleased with the outcome.
[I-I-I, guys!! Who the hell is his Asteri at this point?!]
{Why are you so concerned about that? Also shut up.}
[...…Mittelt it is—]
Booom!!
[Gyaaaaaaa!! I'm kidding, s-stop, Partner!!!]
I pull away from our hug and kiss Suzaku. She happily kisses me back. We break our kiss and stare at each other. I know I just did it with Akeno, but I want to do it with her, and I could tell that Suzaku wanted to do the same.
"Su—"
Creak ~
"Jin! I need help with something… Oh, am I interrupting something?"
Both of us turned to see Raynare there looking mortified. She frantically looked around before bowing and running away. We looked back at each other before laughing.
"Next time…"
She says while putting a hand on my cheek.
"I'll make sure you keep that promise, Suzaku."
"Mmm."
…
Next day
"Gya-suke? Why are you here so early? Do you and Kiba want to have breakfast here?"
I woke up a little later than usual and everyone else was down in the kitchen already including Kiba and Gasper. However, the usual calm and polite Dhampir looked quite excited.
"Jin-senpai!"
"Yeah?"
"I did it."
"Sex?"
"No!! I got a girlfriend! And it's Coriana-san!"
Almost like a comedy sketch Gasper lightly smacks me on the side and we both laugh. But I am genuinely happy for the guy. It's been a long time coming for him, but it happened, and all that's left is… I look at Kiba as he tilts his head blissfully unaware or pretending not to know why I'm implying, either way—
"Congrats, Gya-suke."
I pat him on the head and he smiles.
"Now go get me grandchildren!"
I declare, taking my hand off his head and pointing out the window.
"It's too early for that!!"
…
"Don't worry too much, I'll be back by tonight, or whenever it's appropriate, but I can promise you it won't be two days or something like that."
Akeno was being a little clingy, as the rest of her peerage waited for her. Rias had a troubled smile on her face.
"…Fine. You better come back."
"I will, I will. I mean, we'll be heading to the familiar forest to get a familiar for Asia and Xenovia, don't we?"
"Ah—"
She forgot… Akeno tried to cutely giggle herself out of this but I lightly chopped her on the head as she stuck her tongue out at me and joined Rias. They finally left leaving me here. Everyone else had their own thing to do, and my date with Kuisha won't start for the next few hours, so…
"Let's go check Grigori…"
I was curious about Meruem. Has he settled in? Is he annoyed? Pissed? Is Mittelt behaving? How have the rest of them taken the news? Raynare and Penemue hadn't said anything, although they— Or Raynare seemed a little bit more amused lately. I'm also sure Slash/Dog went on a mission today, so I won't see them over there.
…
Underworld
Grigori
"Hmm…"
When I reached the place, nothing had changed, and the atmosphere was the same. After pinpointing Mittelt's aura, I followed it, and it led me to a relatively spacious room, where Meruem and Mittelt were.
"Mmm? Ah, Father."
They were playing Shogi and from the looks of it, Meruem was winning and Mittelt wasn't doing bad, all things considered.
"Hey, how are things?"
I asked while walking towards them. Once I arrived, I sat down.
"…It has been well. I have been able to explore this place, and to an extent the Underworld, although I have… Mittelt following me."
"Hoo?"
I look at Mittelt as she makes a move, and then glares at me while blushing. She wasn't saying anything as she was still quite scared of Meruem from the looks of things.
"Hmm? Is something the matter? Speak."
"Huh?! Ah— Uh?! Ehrm… N-No n-nothing's wrong, I-I was just wondering why J-Jin-sama was here."
She stammered out while forcing a smile at me.
"Oh, I was just checking up on you, Meruem. It seems like you're doing well… Actually, I have a question. Do you know where Ignia has been?"
Meruem makes a move with his piece and then glances at me.
"During our last conversation, the last thing he said to me was that he was going to search the world for something, go to the north and south poles before coming back to the base of Khaos Brigade."
Hmm? Wait a minute… That's where Querehsha and Antares are at. I wonder if…
[Antares, Querehsha did Ignia go to the North or South Pole yet?]
[No I haven't seen him yet, Jin-sama.]
[Neither have I ~]
[I see…]
Then where the hell did he go…? Whatever, I'll deal with him soon. I'll also call the other double agents I have.
"Meruem, can you teleport me to Khaos Brigade's location?"
He moves another piece after Mittelt moves hers. He glances at me, nods and gets up.
"It will be a moment. Do not leave, Mittelt."
"Y-Y-Y-Yes sir! I mean, Meruem-sama!"
I put my hand on his shoulder and we teleported away…
…
????
"Um… You guys have beaches?"
I asked confused because all around us was white sand and blue water. I looked at Meruem who also looked perplexed.
"…Did I make a mistake? No, I can't… I will try again."
I shrug, nod and put my hand on his shoulder again. I think we were in Hawaii since I felt some familiar auras.
…
????
"…Are you fucking with me? We're on the moon…"
"...…"
But when I looked at Meruem, he seemed equally confused. He puts a finger under his chin and starts to think, although I think I know what's happening here…
"You don't need to think too deeply about it, Meruem. It's obviously Nyarlathotep. She probably thought I might convince any one of you to change sides and probably would have teleported me, or in this case, us to a different location if one of you tried to teleport me to Khaos Brigade."
I sigh. I'm starting to wonder who the more paranoid of us both is, me or her?! Did she just plan a contingency plan for any number of things I might try? Like what the hell? Meruem who had stopped to look at me nodded.
"It can't be helped, let's just go back. I'll just wait until I… Whatever, let's go."
This time I put my hand on his shoulder and teleported us back.
…
Underworld
Grigori
"W-W-W-W-W-Welcome back, M-Meruem-sama! J-Jin-sama…"
It's alright, Mittelt, I know you fear him more than me, or respect him more than me, whatever floats your boat…
"I'll leave you guys to it then."
Meruem nods and sits back down. I felt Mittelt's glare on my back, until I heard him ask why she was glaring at me, and she had to try to explain herself making me laugh. Since I was here, I might as well kill some time here before I go meet up with Kuisha.
…
After walking around a bit and chatting with a few fallen angels, I finally came to the library since I felt Penemue in here. I tap the door and it opens. I step inside and follow her aura, and it leads me to the second floor of the library. The place was quite unique as I could see multiple levels to it. I believe there are around four in total?
Penemue was in the third level and I didn't feel any other fallen angels there. Even though she was supposed to be a teacher in Kuoh, why is she here today? Well, I can ask her that later, unless she's just here for a quick visit.
Finally reaching the third floor, as the place was mostly white, and I sneak up behind her.
"Hmm-hmm ~ I think this is the book we need for the next class? Well good thing I called saying I'll be late; Azazel should have me cove— Kya?!"
She tries to turn around and push me off but I keep a firm grip around her waist.
"I thought we were close, Penemue? Why are you trying to push me away?"
"J-Jin?! You nearly scared me to death! Of course, I would try to push you away. I thought you were some stranger and a pervert!"
She was a bit mad while saying that but quickly calmed down. She puts the book back, turns around and hugs me back.
"So? Why are you here? I thought you had a date with one of the Bael boys' peerage members. I think his [Queen]?"
She asks and I nod.
"Well, yeah, but that starts in like three hours, no, I should be two hours from now. Why are you here? Don't tell me Penemue-sensei is skipping class?!"
I act appalled and she just light smacks me.
"No. I called Azazel to let him know I would be late because I needed to look for a book for one of my senior classes. I found it and I was going to do a few more things before heading out. But since you're here… Help me."
"Eh?"
…
Penemue dragged me away to help her with a few things. I mean I didn't mind but I was kind of hoping to tease or have a little fun with her. Currently, I was carrying some boxes around for her and we were going to a different room, probably a storage room.
"Don't worry, you'll get a reward after this."
"Great, I still have some places to stop by before meeting up with Kuisha you know."
"Yes, yes, I hear you, Jin. Keep it in your pants, will you?"
I sigh at her and just keep my mouth shut. So, after bringing the boxes into the storage room, I quickly checked the place out. It's the same as the one I found Mittelt in before, but a bit larger and had more stuff in it.
"Pene— Mmm?!"
I turned around and Penemue was in front of me and kissed me. I didn't mind, so I kissed her back, although things heated up quickly.
"Nhhann…! Nn, nnnhh… Mmnhh… Chlhpp…"
Penemue pulls away from me and shows me a cheeky smile while slowly poking and kneading the head of my member through my pants with her finger.
"Ara? Did little Jin down there get turned on? From a small ki— Kya?! Hyaahnn ~~"
To stop her from constantly taunting me, I picked her up and placed her against a wall without boxes or anything on it, pressing my erection against her, causing her to yelp.
"You were saying?"
"…Bad boys need to be punished… ~~"
Penemue pulled her skirt up, and moved her panties aside, revealing her already wet womanhood. I feel like things were escalating a bit too quickly but… When I look at her, she was basically asking for it and I kind of wanted to do it… We did spend fifteen years with each other, so it's fine…
"Come on… I'm wet… Jin…"
I gulp and start to unbuckle my pants—
"Penemue? Jin?"
I heard Shuri's voice! W-Why is she here?! Did word travel fast enough that she found out? Penemue and I looked at each other. Panic was rising within me, but she flashed a mischievous smile and wrapped her legs around me.
"What would happen if Shuri found us? ~"
"Hell has no fury like a woman's scorn, or in Shuri's case, her mother's scorn. Penemue, let me go… I'll take you out on—"
"Okay ~"
Penemue fixed herself and unwrapped her legs and I let her down. We quickly fixed ourselves and she gave me a kiss on the cheek and winked at me.
"Shuriii!! ~ We're here ~~"
Penemue called out and I pretended to be fixing boxes. Shuri quickly finds us and sighs.
"What in the world are you two doing here? Come over here."
"Yes, ma'am ~"
Penemue… You're older than her, why are you— ...…Never mind. Both women turn to look at me and 'smile'.
[Hah, serves you right.]
Like the forest we're heading to today.
[…]
{Hah, serves you right.}
[Screw you, Albion.]
…
"You proposed to my baby, then to Suzaku, nearly had sex in a storage room with Penemue and you'll be going on a date with another woman in an hour? If we weren't part of the supernatural and harems weren't real, you would be a giant douche, you know that…?"
We had gone to Shuri and Baraqiel's home. Baraqiel was currently out and Shuri had invited us over. We were currently having some tea (coffee in my case) and eating some snacks. Well, my plans to check out the other things here won't happen since I'm stuck here.
"Yeah, I'm aware… I mean, if the harem situation wasn't real, then I would stay loyal to Akeno."
I say pro—
"Liar."
"Liar."
{[Liar.]}
'Liar.'
'I've never heard such drivel in my life, Aaron Toole.'
Cúntóir: Answer: Aaron, I love you but… That's a complete and utter lie.
...What the hell?! I'm actually a very loyal person! I stuck with Aoife even after her death! You all know that! What the fu—
If harems weren't common in the supernatural, but were still possible, then you would try to get it, Jin Skyward. Don't lie to me."
Shuri crosses her arms and lightly glares at me. Penemue was holding back her laughter as this happened.
"…I can neither confirm nor deny that, but I still stand by what I said. I love Akeno."
Even if I always liked the 'true/real' harem in anime I watched, and not the 'fake' harem that was a disease in the anime, manga and light novel industry at the time. I only ever dated Aoife, and never had any thoughts of cheating on her. I can only imagine how much that feeling would hurt. In addition, some individuals aren't equipped to deal with pain like that, such as some who end their lives because of it.
Shuri sighs in front of me.
"Well, enough about that… So you haven't spoken about it with Akeno? Then what about Suzaku?"
This… This is where I started to sweat profusely. What the hell do I tell her?! But Shuri became even more suspicious of me since I hadn't answered and just froze up.
"Jin? You're keeping a secret, that much is obvious… Tell me."
"…Mom, you're amazing."
"...…Flattery will get you nowhere, speak."
Fuck. I should have come up with something more... Elaborate! I sigh and resign myself to my fate, so I told Shuri how Suzaku and I felt about it. I also add in that Lavinia may also feel the same way about it. By the end of it, Shuri was holding her head, as if she had a large headache.
"Uh—"
"Shh. Let me think for a moment, Jin."
It didn't take her long to look back at me as I sat there.
"…I will respect what you want with both Lavinia and Suzaku, but… Do not do that to my own baby, Akeno."
"Like I said, we haven't spoken about it in detail, but if any of the girls want a traditional or even non-traditional wedding then I'm all up for it. I mean, I can pay for all of it."
Shuri and I spoke back and forth about what Akeno might like for her wedding, the same for Natsume, Shigune, Asia and surprisingly Raynare. Penemue did jump in and say what she wanted, implying that she also wanted to marry me. Shuri just gave her a look, and sighed at me.
"Jin… She's older than you."
"Don't worry, Shuri ~ Jin's into MILFs ~"
After Penemue said that, Shuri backed away into her couch. LADY! I haven't expressed any intent like that towards you the entire time I've known you!
[Didn't you—]
No! I was just looking at her cooking that one time! What the hell is wrong with you?!
[I was joking…]
I sigh and bring out my phone… Ah, I have to leave. The allotted time is almost up, and I have around ten minutes left.
"I need to head out. Kuisha is waiting for me."
"Good luck ~ screw her brains out!"
"Penemue! Speak with Akeno about it, okay?! Do it with Asia, and everyone else, do you hear me, mister?!"
"Yeah, yeah, I do, mom. I will, you need to stop worrying about it. I only proposed and we probably won't get married until college is over and not for a few years after that. We're in no rush…"
"I am."
Shuri says and looks a bit sad… Ah, right, Suzaku and I spoke about that, didn't we? I felt a bit shit after saying that and the sad look she had. Even Penemue was giving me a look of 'Go apologize' and I did. I walk over to her and hug her; she also hugs me back tightly.
"You know I can—"
"I know. Akeno told us. Increasing life spans, right? I'll… I'll think about it, Jin."
After our quick hug, I nod and leave the place. Penemue and Shuri go back to talking… Did she forget about school and being a teacher…? Well, she can handle that with Azazel…
…
Underworld
Lilith
"Why am I already exhausted before the day passed noon…?"
I mutter to myself while following Kuisha's aura. I navigated my way through the streets of Lilith and finally found her. She was wearing a red blouse, light blue jeans and blank ankle high boots. She was waiting there with a purse in hand. She took out a small hand-held mirror and checked herself. I stood by observing her for a little while before I decided to walk over to her.
"Hey, Kuisha sorry I'm late, I was sidetracked by something."
Upon hearing my voice, she perks up and waves her free hand indicating not to worry about it.
"I-It's no problem, Jin-sama. The matter I had prior was resolved much faster than I imagined, so I got here earlier than what we agreed on."
I wanted to say 'you were that excited?' but decided not to and just nodded. I hold my hand out.
"Well then, Kuisha-sama, lead the way."
"Yes!"
She enthusiastically held my hand and led me away. I was curious as to what she was planning to show me in Lilith since I've only been here a handful of times, but I was also sort of excited. If I remember correctly, the Serafall Memorial Hospital is here, isn't it? I don't feel Serafall here so I won't need to worry about her randomly showing up.
Kuisha leads us to... A sweets shop? Does she have a sweet tooth? She pushes the door open and we go in.
"Oh? If it isn't Kuisha, here for— Ah, the Dual Dragon Emperor… I see, welcome, welcome."
He sees us holding hands and nods sagely. He's quite old and probably realized right away why we were here. Kuisha takes us over to a certain section after greeting, who I assume is the store manager or owner.
"You like sweets, Kuisha?"
I ask her and she happily nods.
"I've always had a sweet tooth, although I tend not to show my peerage members since I am the [Queen] and they look up to me, although Coriana, Regulus and Sairaorg-sama know about it."
She admitted sheepishly. I chuckle and choose a random piece of candy and take it. It was called the 'Bulgara Goe' whatever that means… But 'goe' was in it, so is it slimy? I glanced at Kuisha, who looked pale.
"Uh, is something wrong? I randomly picked this so I have no idea if it's good, do you reco—"
"No!"
She snaps and takes the candy away from me. She sighs and looks back at me.
"Forgive me, but… T-That type of sweet is made out of the Underworld's camel mucus as its primary ingredient. Only a handful of devils like it."
She explains and then shivers. C-Camel mucus? I also shiver at the thought. I mean, I know I like drinking and eating weird combinations, but mucus…?! H-Holy shit no thank you! I exaggeratedly backed away from the shelf and Kuisha laughed, but I couldn't get too far since we were still holding hands.
She brought up to another section before picking a few more sweets and bringing them back to the counter.
"The usual, hmm? You certainly don't hold back even while on a date with a famous person, Kuisha."
The old man laughed as Kuisha blushed. He finishes scanning them and puts them in a bag, but before she could pay, I pull out some money and pay for her instead. The old man graciously accepts the money as Kuisha stares at me in shock.
"We can split other things, but let me pay for this for now, okay?"
She nods her head hesitantly and leaves the store first. I look at the manager/owner and we nod at each other. After the weird and short exchange, I join her and hold her hand again.
"There are a few places I want to visit, but… There's actually a recent devil film that was released. Can we…?"
"Sure thing."
"But don't you…?"
"I'll be accompanying the Gremory peerage to the familiar forest, but we won't be heading there until later on tonight, so we have time, Kuisha, so don't worry about it."
She happily nods and we make our way to the cinema that was showing the movie...
…
[No! No! It's coming inside!!]
"...…"
What in hell's fat fucking turd am I watching?! The poster for this film looked kind of interesting when we walked into the cinema. The tickets were cheap, but I had my own suspicions when the man who sold them to us gave me a pitying glance. We bought popcorn, drinks and all the usual items needed for a memorable cinema experience.
Nevertheless, when the movie started after waiting fifteen minutes, I was sort of enjoying it. Now, it's... It's... I don't even know what it is! Porn?! It started out normal, it's devils playing detective, some personal troubles for the protagonist and romance.
[Oh yes, baby!]
But now we're getting into the supposed sex scene. Most films make this vague or just do the usual 'fade to black' but I'm seeing penetration here!! I glanced at Kuisha who looked mortified and she was obviously blushing quite hard. That employee from earlier, was this what he was trying to warn me about?
"Um… Kuisha?"
[The truck is coming!!!!]
I whispered and tried to touch her hand—
"Kya?!"
She screamed and immediately covered her mouth. There were only a few other devils here to watch it. But holy fuck... She just screamed and with the film we're watching, did she not expect them to think we're getting down and dirty? Kuisha came to this conclusion, grabbed my hand and dragged me out of there. I paid this time as well, and didn't mind but she was red in the face as we left.
When we left the front office, some of the staff laughed at us, but I don't blame them. She was red, like Rias' hair. We spent a total of forty-five minutes in there, and now we were out. Apparently, the movie was meant to last two hours.
"Are you okay?"
I asked her as she nodded, her face still red. Still embarrassed, and not wanting to be stuck here, I took the initiative. Scanning the Lilith again, I found a small amusement park here, even though this was the Four Satans territory, there were some places where the normal devil could just enjoy themselves.
We can probably thank Serafall and Sirzechs for that. I doubt Ajuka and Falbium care too much about that sort of thing. I slowly led us to the amusement park as a few devils stopped to chat with me or get an autograph since I was still known as both the Oppai and Ketsu Dragon, and the Middleman.
A few asked why I was with Kuisha and I outright told them I was on a date. This may get into the Underworld newspaper too, sorry, Kuisha, Sairaorg. We eventually arrived at the amusement park with no other trouble, paid and got in. Kuisha was starting to come out of it and finally started talking to me again.
"How about a short trip to the hall of mirrors? I haven't been to one before."
I asked and pointed to a nearby building that said 'Hall of Mirrors' and she agreed. We made our way there, and immediately got in since no one else was there. I did tell the truth, I don't think I've been to one in my old life, and I certainly haven't been to one here. The one in Kuoh didn't have one.
We entered it and it was quite dark with a few colorful lights illuminating the place. I take a step forward and immediately slam against one prompting Kuisha to laugh.
"Mirrors… My strongest nemesis!"
I proclaim while holding my right hand up in a fist making the girl beside me laugh even more. We proceeded to try to walk around the hall of mirrors, and I walked into them a number of times.
"You weren't joking when you said that mirrors were your biggest enemy, Jin-sama."
Kuisha teases me and I awkwardly laugh. We walk around the hall of mirrors for a few more minutes with me walking into the mirrors a few more times before finally leaving. The staff member who was manning the place looked at me before bursting into laughter. Kuisha shortly joined her.
"Y-You're face, s-sir…!"
She managed to say before I summoned a mirror, and when I looked at it, my nose was red and I had a slightly red spot on my forehead. I guess I bumped into them too much... I laughed awkwardly with them.
Kuisha pulled me away and we headed to a nearby dining place. We ordered some food and sat down at our table. We ate our food for the first minute in silence before I broke it.
"Kuisha, do you still plan on going independent when you become a High-class devil?"
I ask her and she nods. She mentioned it to me in the past, but I wanted to see if she was still going through with it.
"Yes, I am. I became a Middle-class devil recently and I am planned to receive the High-class test soon enough thanks to fighting on the front lines against Khaos Brigade. I hope to gain my evil pieces by then, although… I don't know if I'll use them."
She answered me honestly. Although it's really different here, huh? I'm pretty sure she was already High-class at this point in the world in the canon timeline. I wonder why she's still High-class? Did something else happen in between, or is it simply 'different world, different shenanigans' type of thing? Either way I'm glad for her.
"Best of luck to you, Kuisha. You have my support all the way, Kuisha. If you need help with anything, don't hesitate to contact me."
"Yes, thank you very much."
After that, we ate our food in relative silence. Occasionally we would find a topic to talk about, but it would ultimately lead nowhere. Maybe it was hitting her that we were on a date and she found it awkward? I was fine with it, since I tried to keep on bringing up topics.
…
"I haven't eaten much food down here even after Latia gave me an entire recipe book, although I'm pretty sure Grayfia mostly uses it since she sometimes serves us dishes from the Underworld."
"Latia? Ah, Latia Astaroth… You're close to her, Jin-sama?"
I know it's probably inappropriate of me to bring her up when we're out on a date, but it kind of just happened since it was relevant.
"Yeah, she's part of my harem now, anyway. Do you want to go to that haunted house? I'm curious as to what kind of haunted houses devils would make in the Underworld. Rias and the rest made a very generic one, although we did get help from Youkais and actual ghosts."
I laughed while remembering the festival we had not too long ago. Sairaorg's peerage didn't come since they had a few things to deal with which was unfortunate.
"I-I don't mind…"
Kuisha hesitantly answers. Don't tell me she's—
[Gooooooooooo!!!! Make her go 'Kya!' and hug her, Partner!!]
For some strange reason, the [Welsh Dragon] is quite excited about this... We walk over to the haunted house as a few other couples go in too. We had to wait for a little bit before we could get in. Once we were in there, it was quite… Atmospheric, pitch black, fake fog/smoke, creepy ambient music, and all the other things you'd need for a haunted house were present.
A few fake props everywhere and… Kuisha's face was already pale. Yeah, that confirms it. She's scared of these, or just ghosts in general?
"Kui—"
"Graaaaaahhh!!"
"Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!"
I started to say something but I was interrupted by someone in a zombie mask, or an actual zombie coming out of the ground and scaring her. Kuisha who was gripping my hand had now hugged my arm and screamed like she was being attacked. Even the zombie was startled by it as we looked at each other... Before I gave him a thumbs up, and he reciprocated.
I quickly leave the area, and go to another. This time there was a fake operating table with a fake fetus on it and then it began to cry. There were two people there pretending to operate on it. However, they turned around and they were both missing their eyes and were bleeding from the sockets that were left behind.
One of them takes the screaming fetus and starts walking towards us, but—
"Hiii?!"
Kuisha couldn't take it anymore and pulled me out of the room and into another, where this time there were just ghosts, but very real ones nonetheless.
"Nooo!!!"
However, she was still quite scared of them and dragged me away from the room again. This repeated a couple more times as her screams kept on getting louder each time until she quite literally ran out of the building while still screaming, and I'm pretty sure she was genuinely crying.
When we got out, she let go of my arm and ran off. A sigh escapes my lips as I look at the person outside the exit.
"That's the loudest and longest I've heard someone scream in this stupid thing. She sounds genuinely terrified. Is she okay?"
He asked me.
"Well, I'm about to find out."
He chuckled and wished me luck, so I followed Kuisha's aura and found her sitting on a bench with her hands over her face and sighing. I sit down beside her and after a few seconds she starts to speak.
"I'm sorry… I knew that I was terrible with anything horror related, but I still went. I should have said something…"
"No, no, it's my fault. I kind of saw your reluctance but still went in. So blame me for that."
We both apologized to each other before laughing. I looked up at the Underworld sky and the day was slowly coming to a close. It didn't feel that long, and I honestly wanted to spend a little more time here. Well, let's end this date like I did with Momo, looking at the largest structure here, the Ferris wheel.
"Let's go there."
I grab her hand and pull her up, surprising her a bit. She sees me pointing at the Ferris wheel and blushes, but she agrees in the end. We make our way there, and wait for a capsule to be available. It looked like a few other couples had the same idea as we weren't the only ones here.
Once the couples who were in the capsules got out, some happy and some in tears, it got a bit awkward. However, the person there encouraged us to go into them, and we did so. Once inside we waited for the ride to start. I looked out the window as Kuisha decided to change seats. She was sitting across from me and just moved beside me now.
"I… I would like to apologize again, Jin-sama."
"You really don't need too…"
I put a hand on her head as I kept looking out the window and started to pet her. Kuisha, who was a bit tense before, relaxed since I added the calming effect as well. Even though I asked her out, and planned on asking her, I was having second thoughts. Is it enough time for her to mov—
'Shut the fuck up and ask her.'
My train of thought was interrupted by Velgrynd, who then started cursing me out. I couldn't help but chuckle inwardly and sigh. I turned to Kuisha who had been silently sitting there. I stop petting her and she looks confused.
"Jin-sam— Mmph…?! …Mmmm…"
Taking the initiative, I lean forward and capture her lips, kissing her. She seemed shocked at first, but closed her eyes and kissed me back. Our kiss didn't last long as I was the one to pull away first. She stared at me in shock.
"U-Um…"
"If you're not sure then we can—"
"No! I want to be with you, Jin-sama!"
I was planning to say we should go on another date another time, but I guess she misinterpreted it, but it's fine I won't say anything, this is fine...
"Is that so? Then glad to have you aboard, Kuisha. Let's get along then."
"Yes! …U-Um…"
I chuckled at how obvious she was, and kissed her again. We spent the rest of our time in the capsule kissing or flirting with each other, although she was quite shy about it. Once we got off the ride we walked in silence. However, this time Kuisha was happily hugging my arm. I hadn't asked her, she just naturally did it.
"Thank you for today, Jin-sama. I hope we can do it again."
"I don't mind, although you'll have to wait a bit, I have a few lined up in the meantime and not including my job… Having a harem is hard work that I didn't expect, I was kind of expecting it to go smoothly."
I confess to her, and she laughs at me. We speak a little bit more until we leave the amusement park and go to a relative—
"Oya? Jin-kun."
"W-What?! J-Jin you're— Oh wait you said that you were going on a date today, didn't you? Teehee ~"
I was about to end my date with Kuisha when I heard two familiar voices behind us. I turn around and see Sirzechs with a grin, and Serafall there pretending to be shocked. It is the current Satan's territory so I was kind of expecting to run into them today at some point. Although I will admit that the timing was good since it was at the end of it rather than at the start or in the middle of it.
"S-Sirzechs Lucifer-sama and S-Serafall Leviathan-sama, g-greetings!"
Kuisha greets them and bows.
"Sup, are you two going home now?"
Contrary to Kuisha's greeting mine was a lot more casual, and she looked at me strangely with slight shock. She should know this already though? I mean I am in a relationship with Rias, and Serafall herself… Unless she was just oblivious to that.
"Sup to you too, Jin. I take it that you were on a date? Kuisha Abaddon, was it? It's a pleasure to see you again."
Sirzechs gives me the same greeting since Asteri wasn't here to reprimand him so I laugh at him.
"Taking any and all opportunity to be rebellious against Asteri, huh? I was in the Gremory's not too long ago since I had to speak to Zeoticus about 'that'. You were out as a family, huh? Was that upgrade that useful?"
I asked him and he nodded.
"Fufu, of course, Jin-kun. That upgrade was very helpful. It cuts down my duties by at least half a day, depending on circumstances, and at best, I'm sometimes done by a quarter of a day, and yes we were out as a family. I rarely had an opportunity in the past, so I have to thank you again… That reminds me, you still have favors from me. Do you plan on using it?"
He asked me and yes, yes, I do plan on using it… Eventually.
"Maybe… How would you feel if I asked you to run around naked in Lilith? How about Lucifaad? Maybe during an important event?"
My blunt question made him twitch, but I was just joking, so I don't think he should take it too seriously. I mean, he should know about my weird sense of humor by now, right?
"Um—"
"I'll do it!"
"Denied."
"Why?!"
"I don't want anyone to see you naked, that's why."
"…Uuuuu…"
When Serafall decided to volunteer, I shot her down immediately, making her blush. Sirzechs just laughed at us while Kuisha was fascinated by my interaction with two Satans. Yeah, we're kind of like that. We, well, most of the time don't try to get too serious unless it's necessary.
"Anyway, I'll get going, Jin-kun. I have some time left so I can spoil my son and wife. Try to come by our home again. I did miss you last time."
"I'll try, Zechs."
To my surprise, he puts a fist up indicating he wants to fist bump. I chuckle and bump fists with him before he teleports away. It was Serafall's turn, however, I believe she plans on going home with me. We still did have a few more hours before we went to the familiar forest. I turned back to Kuisha as she was kind of standing there awkwardly.
"I'll see you soon. Take care, alright?"
"Ah— Y-Yes, I will, Jin-sama. Goodbye for now, and to you too, Leviathan-sama."
She bows and teleports away leaving Serafall and I alone.
"So—"
"To home! And So-tan!"
I just shake my head at her antics and leave for home.
…
A few hours later
Don't run away, Ddraig.
[Noooooooooo!!! Let me out!!! Cúntóir!! Albion!! Rudra!! Elsha!! Belzard!! Let me ouuuuuuuttt!!! Gyaaaaaaaaaaa!!]
I, along with the Gremory peerage had gathered up and were about to teleport to the familiar forest, however, Ddraig started to have a tantrum like a child… Ddraig, seriously, man up and face her. Promise to get her treasure back and be done with it.
[No! It's been too long! I'd rather die!]
'Then die.'
Velgrynd, be nice…
'Tch.'
Shaking my head, I looked back at the Gremory peerage as we were about to leave. The ones missing a familiar are Asia and Xenovia. With special permission, Irina was coming along with us.
Looking at both girls, I know Asia is supposed to get Rassei as her first familiar, although she only named that little dragon that because of Issei's name. She also gets four more named Anselmus, Cyril, Gregorios and Simeon. They were part of the mass-produced evil dragons that defected and formed a contract with her. I wonder what will happen going forward?
Will they still be made? Will something else emerge? I wasn't sure, but I looked forward to seeing it happen. For Xenovia… I believe she gets a familiar called Final Death Xiezhi? It was formerly part of a group called Vortex Bunch, but they were beaten easily and it became her familiar, and it was a black furry dog whose weakness was beautiful women…
"I wonder what kind of familiar we'll get?"
"A strong one that I can bring along when I train would be appropriate."
Asia and Xenovia were chatting with each other about what kind of familiar they would want. Irina had been silent and beside me. I expected her to be chatting with them so I was surprised when she just stood beside me the entire time.
"Something wrong, Irina?"
"No… I'm just curious about the place, Jin-senpai. Don't worry about it."
"If you say so."
I didn't feel anything wrong with her, she just looked nervous for some reason. However, I doubt she would tell me if I push her, so I left it at that.
"Alright, it seems like we're all ready now. Let's go."
…
Underworld
Familiar Forest
[The cursed land is here!!!]
Upon arriving in the familiar forest, it had an eerie atmosphere to it. It also had a weird purple hue. However, I felt a certain person coming towards us, but didn't do anything.
"Gotta catch 'em all! My name is Zatouji of Madara Town! I'm a devil in training, aiming to become the Familiar Master."
The Ash Ketchum rip-off had arrived.
"Zatouji-san I brought the ones I spoke about."
Rias introduces Asia and Xenovia to the man while Irina and I stand to the side. I began looking around, but eventually decided to scan the entire forest for Tiamat.
'Jin.'
Hmm? What's up Velgrynd?
'The [Welsh Dragon] is shaking in fear. It's like he's traumatized. What do we do?'
She says slightly annoyed. I sigh… Dammit man, fine I'll talk to her myself and come to a compromise, although I already have a plan. Sheesh, talk about an overreaction…
"Hmm-hmm. Two beautiful women and a dull— W-Wait, the Dual Dragon Emperor? I-I know he's famous but I don't think…"
"It's fine, we got special permission. Anyway, can you help my two servants get new familiars? Aar— Ahem, Jin over there is expecting a lot from you. He trusts the future Familiar Master to be able to guide these two?"
Rias glances at me with a small blush and I nod at Zatouji who salutes me. Also, she nearly called me Aaron in front of him, well I don't mind, but people that don't know will just become confused.
"I will live up to your expectations, Jin-san! Now ladies, come with me and we shall explore the forest to your hearts' content!"
I never said anything like that to Rias, but at least she got him fired up to help them. Asia and Xenovia follow after Zatouji, but the rest look at me.
"I'll find Tiamat. You guys can go with them."
They nodded, but Akeno looked hesitant. Sheesh…
"You can come with me and Irina if you want, Akeno…"
Rias turns back and sighs. She'll stop being clingy soon enough, just let her enjoy her recently proposed phase for just a bit longer. She just smiled at me and continued following Zatouji. Akeno happily skipped to my side and hugged my arm.
"E-Eh? I-I'm going too?"
Irina asked confused, and I nodded.
"Yeah, I mean, you were basically looking at the ground the whole time. Let's just go. I already found her."
[….U-Uooooooo… I-I can't go on…]
…
We had been walking for around ten minutes and we passed by many places. However, nothing really happened since most creatures here avoided us since I was releasing some draconic aura every now and again. However, a few smaller dragons did pop out to see who was sending it.
We were nearing where Tiamat was and Ddraig kept on crying louder and louder in my head so I had Cúntóir put him to sleep.
{Peace a quiet, finally…}
"Hmm? Ah, I can feel her now. Let's go."
There was a small open area up ahead and I could feel her there with a few other dragons. Although I'm pretty sure they were still quite young and were hatchlings. Upon arrival at the site, we saw many baby dragons and a woman in the middle of them. She was gently playing with them and cuddling a few of them.
Tiamat in her dragon form is a pale blue western dragon with celestial blue scales. In her human form, she has the appearance of a beautiful woman with long blue hair that's tied in a ponytail. Her ponytail reaches her waist. She has blue eyes and small horns on her head. She wears a long white coat, grey shorts, and white ankle-high boots. She also has a blue tail that occasionally shows up as she sits there.
"Hmm? Ah— Long time no see, Ddraig."
She said a bit coldly while glaring at me. Since the mighty [Welsh Dragon] was currently sleeping, I was left to deal with Tiamat.
"Hello, Tiamat. You probably already know about me."
She smirks.
"Of course, I do. The Middleman, Harem Seeking Bastard, Harem King, Harem Dragon Emperor, Dual Dragon Emperor, Oppai, Ketsu and Thigh Dragon, and many more absurd titles. I know you well. Young one. But I trust you know my relationship with that stupid dragon that resides in you, yes?"
"All too well."
My lips twitched at hearing all those titles, but I quickly dismissed them. We stare at each other as she finally gets up and while still carrying a baby dragon, comes over to me.
"Then you know what comes next, right?"
"I'll find them, just tell me what they are."
She seemed doubtful as she gave me a look that basically said 'I doubt that'. But I wish she would humor me.
"Just humor me and tell me what kind of treasures those were."
She nods and tells me the kinds of treasures that Ddraig 'borrowed' for his final confrontation with Albion before they died. Of course, the Vanishing Dragon within me was cringing quite hard as he heard it all over again.
{Khhh… Dammit… Why did I have to hear all of that…?}
'Another stupid dragon down!'
I heard Amaris shout inside me along with Garrett joining in and this made Albion wail in despair. I guess those two are like two peas in a pod…
"I see, give me a second, alright?"
She seemed confused and stared at me. Hey, Cúntóir, honey, give me a hand?
'I think you gave her a stroke, Jin.'
I hear Rudra say. It's been a while since we spoke, but… A stroke? What are you talk—
Cúntóir: Answer: Y-Yes, right away, Dear!!
She screamed and started to search the world for Tiamat's treasures. Of course, with her powers it did not take long, and she found them… Cúntóir giving her all for such a weird reason is quite strange.
Cúntóir: Answer: D-Do you want me to teleport them to you?
Yeah, that would be great, thanks. After telling Cúntóir that, a couple of items start to flash in front of me and Tiamat's eyes widen in surprise. After a few more seconds they finally finished teleporting in and gently landed on the ground.
"And there are your treasures. They're kind of weird, I won't lie."
I could see a few of them were quite useful, some were cursed items, some were just mundane things, one of them was a dragon slaying item, although if Ddraig tried to use it he would have hurt himself, so I don't know why he even got it— No, why would Tiamat have one…?
"Hoo? You're certainly a fascinating young emperor. Hmm-hmm."
Tiamat checked over her treasures to make sure they were all pristine and not damaged. I think they were, since—
Cúntóir: Answer: I fixed them up, darling ~
...…Yeah, thanks Cúntóir. After Tiamat checks them over, she sighs in a satisfied way. She looks at me and points her finger at me.
"I like you, but I still hate Ddraig. I heard you revived him, correct? Bring him out!"
She demanded and I chuckled.
"He's been put to sleep since he was basically on the verge of a mental breakdown at the thought of meeting with you again. So… He's basically sleeping right now."
After telling her that, she seemed flabbergasted. She shook her head and sighed.
"And yet he calls himself a Heavenly Dragon. Then what about the [Vanishing Dragon]? Is he awake?"
{E-Eh? W-Why me? J-Jin—}
"Hmm? Yeah, he's awake, why do you ask?"
{Jiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiin!!!}
"Bring him out. He is partially responsible for this."
I shrugged and forced Albion out. Once he was out his face was already pale.
{H-Hold on, Tiamat. Let us be civil about this! We can agree that the red one was to blame, no?}
Albion puts his hands up while slowly backing away. Tiamat just stares at him while slowly walking towards him. Akeno, Irina and I watch this unfold silently, although these two are stronger than her, so they're not too affected by this.
"You held the responsibility to stop that fool from using my treasures recklessly, yet because of both your pride and stupidity they were lost for hundreds of years!"
{I-I admit that I was reckless back then, but even if I did somehow talk to him back then, I doubt he would have given it back! He was quite insistent!}
This did not work on Tiamat. She hands the little dragon to me and I take it from her. She turns back to Albion with a menacing grin.
"Don't run away, [Vanishing Dragon]."
Boom!
{H-Help!! Jin!!}
Tiamat began chasing him around while throwing attacks at him. Albion was running away dodging all the attacks aimed at him. Seeing him panicking like this… It was strange, I'll admit that. If only Ddraig was awake…
"They sure do get along ~"
Akeno watched the scene unfold… How does this constitute them getting along…? Looking at Irina she was watching the scene unfold without much care. I wonder what she was thinking? I'll just ask her…
'Finally!'
Be quiet Velgrynd. I petted the little dragon as it had woken up, but quickly looked at Tiamat, shrugged and fell back to sleep. I turn to Irina—
"Irina, is something wrong? You seem out of it since I came home today."
When I asked that, Akeno just started giggling to herself, seemingly knowing what was wrong with Irina. The girl turned red after I asked her.
"I-I, well, I, um… The thing is…"
She stuttered out, but then took a deep breath before looking at me, her face full of determination, but a blush slowly creeping up.
"C-Can we go on a d-d-d-outing?"
Foul! She was close to hitting a home run, but ended up hitting pesky's pole instead! I couldn't stop myself from chuckling at her and she huffed.
"Sorry, sorry, yeah sure, I don't mind going on a date with you. But you'll have to wait. I have a few others that I promised…"
"Y-Yes, I don't mind waiting!"
She cheerily replied. So that's what was bothering her, huh?
"The troubles of a harem king. I wish you luck, Jin Skyward."
Tiamat had come back to us with an unconscious Albion being dragged by her. We looked at her, then at Albion before she threw him towards me and I caught him.
{J-Jin…}
He managed to stutter out before passing back out. What the hell did she do to you…? I tap his shoulder and send him back into my soul. Tiamat didn't mind since she was done with him.
"I require the [Welsh Dragon] somewhere down the line, if you don't mind."
"Oh, no, not at all. I'll bring him out when we come to visit again."
She nodded satisfied.
"By the way, is it true that you trained Ouryuu?"
"Ouryuu? Ah, you mean Ryuuta! Yes, yes, I did. He's quite strong is he not? I heard about the incident in Kyoto and you helped defend all the Five Principal Clans did you not? How was he?"
She seemed like a doting mother all of a sudden. I told her what happened before it and how Ouryuu, or Ryuuta was a fan of mine. However, we hadn't spoken much since then, and even I informed her about the recent attack since she would obviously worry about it once it reached her ears. I told her what Celestin and the rest of the Electa shared with me.
"…I see, but I'm glad he didn't get injured, thank you for telling me, Jin. But it makes me want to join the alliance and wipe out the Khaos Brigade for trying to hurt him."
She went from a doting mother to a menacing dragon in a split second. It was kind of surreal to see, but this Tiamat was kind of strange. I was expecting an angry yet mischievous dragon, but I got a bit more. I was fine with it.
If my memory serves right, Tiamat is a secret judge or administrator for the Rating Games. She's only showing up to help fix things, and she's also indebted to Ajuka… Apart from that I don't know much about her.
"But the rumors of you having a harem seem to be true…"
She said while looking at Akeno and Irina. Akeno seemed flattered and also unbothered by the staring as she happily hugged my arm. However, the angel beside me turned red, but she did not deny it.
"Haha… Yeah, but it is a lot more challenging than I initially thought, but life is pretty fun with all of them around."
Tiamat and I chatted about whatever topics came to mind. Rias and I agreed before hand that she would call me on her ring when they're ready to leave.
…
[...W-White one, w-what happened to you?]
I heard Ddraig ask Albion but he received no answer. It's great to find out that the all-mighty [Welsh Dragon] is awake now. Come out.
[H-Huh?! W-Wait Partne—]
Shing!
[…]
"…"
After a brief flash, Ddraig and Tiamat were staring at each other. Tiamat and I had been having a pleasant conversation for the past thirty minutes, but now she had fallen silent and was silently glaring at Ddraig.
[Y-Yo Tiamat, been a while, h-huh? I-I uh, you got your t-treasures back, right? I-It was my idea to have P-Partner here to get it back to you! I'm a genius, r-right?!]
"Y Ddraig Goch, you have a ten-second head start."
Tiamat ignored Ddraig's greeting and warned him. The Red Dragon of Domination's face pales and he summons his wings before fleeing. I create something and hand it to Tiamat confusing her.
"You can track him with that. See the arrow? It'll point towards him no matter what."
"You have my thanks."
With that, ten seconds had passed and she had summoned her wings and chased after Ddraig. Not too long after we heard a large explosion and screaming. However, he came back to our spot—
[Traitor!!]
And shouted that at me before flying away. Tiamat was in hot pursuit.
"Ufufu ~ that was quite mean of you, Jin."
"It's all in good fun, Akeno. Ddraig and I have this kind of relationship…"
I grin evilly as I watch the [Welsh Dragon] flying around and screaming.
[Jin? Why are the [Welsh Dragon] and the [Chaos Karma Dragon] playing tag in the sky?]
I heard Rias ask through the [Communication Function].
[Don't worry, Rias. They're just having a reunion. If Zatouji is panicking then tell him that.]
[…If you say so.]
Akeno, Irina and I watched the game of tag between the dragons. The young dragon also woke up and started to watch them, and we sometimes played with it whenever its attention was turned towards us. It was kind of cute, but I'm glad it wasn't Rassei since I didn't want to be hit by random lightning attacks.
…
[Haaa… Haaa… Haaa… I'm dying… Help me…]
"Honestly, how can you reference memes after going through all that? You're really beyond me at times, Ddraig.]
[Call… Me… The… Meme Dragon Emperor… I'll proudly have that title!]
He breathed out, gave me a thumbs up and disappeared back into me. Ddraig and Tiamat had been chasing each other for an hour straight, which was perfect timing because around the one-hour mark, Rias called me to say they were ready.
"He is a fool, but I got to get some revenge, so I am satisfied."
Tiamat said while sitting down beside Irina. She was also quite exhausted. I offer her a pill as she looks at it confused. I explain what it does and she accepts it without hesitation.
"Oh! This is quite useful; do you sell them?"
"I don't, sorry, but I don't mind giving out some to close friends."
Tiamat just laughed at me.
"So you're trying to court me now, boy? Is Ddraig even happy about such a thing?"
"He's long given up trying to prevent it. Even though I mostly said it to tease him."
We just laughed at it as Ddraig groaned inside my head. He was also being teased by Elsha, Amaris, Cúntóir and Velgrynd.
[I will have my vengeance!]
Sure you will buddy…
"Anyway, we'll get going Tiamat. Nice seeing you… Here, if you ever need to contact me for whatever reason."
I make a piece of paper with my number on it float to her. However, she just gives me a strange look.
"You think I have one of those smartphones humans use?"
[Pfft—]
"Ah— Right, well, if you need to contact me just do it through Ajuka then, or Ouryuu? I think I gave him my phone number…"
"Yes, yes, I will do that. It was a pleasure meeting you, Jin. Ddraig, I'm not done with you."
[Dammit it all!]
I just laughed at Ddraig and waved goodbye to Tiamat as we left to meet up with Rias and the others.
…
"Hmm ~ now that I think about it, you don't have a dragon in your harem, do you? Unless you count Ddraig-kun ~ ufufufu ~"
"Akeno… Don't say such dangerous things… Also, did you forget about Ophis and Irene?"
"Ufufu, I was just teasing you Dear ~"
[…Hmm I can transform into a woman.]
Ddraig, shut up.
{He lost his mind because of Tiamat. Ignore him, Jin.}
It didn't take us long to arrive at the spot where we originally teleported to. Rias and the rest were there with Zatouji who looked like some years of his life had been shaved off him. Did the 'tag' that Tiamat and Ddraig had scared him that much? If so he has a long way to go before becoming the Familiar Master…
But I saw Asia with Rassei, and Xenovia… Had no familiar, she also looked a bit frustrated. No wait, now that I looked a bit closer at the small dragon, it was different. If Rassei was a blue diamond-scale dragon, then this thing was black and yellow. This was a completely different dragon, although they were still hatchlings…
"Jin-san, I got a familiar! I named her Ahin!"
Ahin…? That's certainly unique. Asia notices my confusion and elaborates.
"Zatouji-san gave me a suggestion earlier and I…"
She blushed while hugging Ahin—
"Ahsa was the name that Zatouji-san gave earlier. I think it means life, hope and future in sanskirt, and the 'in' is from Jin, your name…"
Well, that was touching… She did the same thing, huh? I won't lie, I'm a bit flattered. I walk over and pat Asia on the head and reach out for Ahin. Unlike Rassei in canon, the little dragon doesn't try to shock me… Actually, what kind of dragon is this?
Cúntóir: Answer: This dragon is still a lightning dragon, but uses black lighting.
Black lightning? That certainly is interesting. I wonder if Asia will try to utilize this little guy more than in canon?
"That's sweet, thank you, Asia. So no luck, Nova?"
"N-No… Any one of the creatures I tried to form a contract with failed as they were too scared of me."
She seemed a bit disappointed, but Zatouji stepped in and explained.
"She's powerful for someone who has only been a devil for a short amount of time, but she'll need to find an equally powerful familiar to form a contract with, or she needs to… Well, be a bit calmer when trying to form a contract. But don't worry, you'll find one someday, [Knight] of Gremory."
"I-I'll try my best in the future…"
Still a bit disappointed, she answered Zatouji and sighed.
"With that, we're all set. Thank you for your help, Zatouji-san."
"No, no, it was a pleasure to help you, Rias-sama. Well then, until we meet again, everyone!"
He saluted us before running away and disappearing into the familiar forest. Time to go home then.
"Are all of you ready?"
I asked them and they nodded, so we headed back home.
…
A few days later
"Jin, I thought we were heading back to Ireland?"
I was getting ready to leave but Scathach came into the entrance hallway and asked me that while confused. I turned to her and explained myself.
"That was the original plan, but I thought I might as well go to the Egyptian realm again, and after that we can head back to Ireland. I feel like I've favored my home country a bit too much lately. But we'll go straight there after I'm done. I don't blame you if you want to take a day off…"
Scathach nods and seems to understand.
"I see, very well. I will keep on training Inaie Who will be coming with us?"
"Gabriel, she asked to come on one of my trips, and Asia too since she wanted to see Áine again. I don't know if she'll stay when I go back to Prawia though."
"Prawia, ah the Slavic Gods… Hmm, I will decline on going there, but I am curious to see someone there…"
She knows someone? That's certainly interesting, but I'll save it for another time. I was going back to the Egyptian realm today, this time… I glanced to my side and saw a silver-haired maid and on the other side a secretary with me. Grayfia and Rossweisse were coming along. I did promise to take her with me eventually. But—
From the living room hallway, I could see Xenovia sulking as she hadn't been invited yet. I did promise her, so I'll just drag her with me to Ireland when we go. I tap my head and send the information to Scathach, Gabriel and Asia. I also asked them to keep it a secret from Xenovia for the time being. Call it a small surprise.
"Ready?"
I turned and asked both women and they both nodded.
"Alright, I'll see you guys soon… Whenever that is."
"Trouble does follow you wherever you go, Jin."
I laughed at Scathach as we teleported away. But she isn't wrong. Trouble does somehow manage to find me wherever I go.
…
Egyptian realm
Nembesouk
We had teleported to the same platform that I first arrived at when I first came here. We had a magnificent view of the entire city below us.
"Are you sure you want to stay in that, Fia? You could wear… You know."
"But I am—"
"No, no, I don't want you as a maid today, just a regular partner."
She slightly blushes before nodding. Grayfia erupts into a puff of white smoke. As soon as it was gone, I nodded in satisfaction.
Grayfia had her hair tied in a ponytail and she had a faded-pink scrunchy on her, as opposed to the blue one she normally has. Her outfit is a black shirt with golden-caramel accents at the edges of the shirt and spread horizontally near the bottom, with two light golden trims going down the shirt; and the shirt splits slightly above her stomach, exposing her midriff. Around her neck and shoulders is a long, cyan scarf made from light material that reaches her hips. Her jeans are blue, with a white outline at the top.
"Excellent!"
I gave her a thumbs up as she sighs at me. Meanwhile, Rose was wearing her usual business outfit.
"You too, Rose."
"…I don't need your sympathy…"
She muttered sadly, although I was being honest…
"Alright, let's see what kind of request Ra has for me."
