Chapter 14. The Time manipulating Maid and Aqua gets Punished!.
A few days have passed by after my battle against the Winter Shogun and I was still pretty hyped about it, even though I wanted to relax and spend more time with the girls a part of me wanted to become a even better fighter.
So I spent more time grinding and practicing my One Blade Eight Leaves style techniques in order to be able to perform them as easy as breathing, my new Race as a Heavenly Dragon and my perks allowed me to perfect my style to a level beyond anyone could ever reach.
I also spent time mastering my mage class and had already learned the Mystic art for it, it's name is Indignation Judgement and boy was I excited for this one and I even showed it off to the girls who immediately decided that they wanted to learn it.
So far they're still working on it but they seem well on their way to learning how to use it, YunYun had already learned how to use Sacred Shine but Wiz wasn't able to use it, we think it's because of her nature as a Lich makes it very difficult for her to use holy elemental spells, she can use spells like Photon and Ray easy enough, even Holy Lance but even those spells took her a long time to replicate and cost a lot of mana when she uses it.
But with Indignation Judgement, since it's a lightning/holy spell she was capable of learning it and use it, sure it might cost her a lot mana but she'll have a big spell to use now and the fact that she has access to healing gels makes the MP cost pretty much unimportant.
After that I took on the Fighter class and began to learn all kinds of hand to hand skill and techniques, Excalibur pouted a bit about the idea of me not fighting with her but I told her that it was better to be prepared than to be caught off guard, so she reluctantly agreed with me.
Though a new event pretty much forced us to change the dynamic of our team a bit but it was a welcome change.
That change came when I decided to use the Companion Gem, I didn't know who would I end up summoning but I was sure I could handle whoever it is that I pull.
Only to almost shit my pants when I ended up summoning Sakuya fucking Izayoi, the time manipulating Maid from the Touhou universe.
Before I could have a heart attack from shock at the possibility of having to fight her 'I know I would win, but it wouldn't be easy and I'm pretty sure that fight would have ended up with us destroying Axel and probably the continent' she bowed to me with a soft smile "it's nice to meet my new master, please do take care me from now on master Rean".
I gaped at her in surprise and stared at her for at least a good minute while she took a look around the room Wiz had given to me to sleep in, I was honestly perplexed, I looked down lost in thought *... well I don't know what to say, from what I know of Sakuya she's a prim and proper maid that's a bit of an airhead sometimes, she also has completely control over time and space and a master knife user... but I know she's loyal to Remilia, though as long as she's fed, clothed and has a roof over her head she's pretty much content with anything...*.
I looked up and immediately sweatdrop because Sakuya was already cleaning my room, I received a notification letting me know that I had received the Time manipulation skill through Mimicry letting me know that yes, Sakuya does indeed use her powers to clean.
she must have sense my confusion though because she began to talk about her reason for being here while she continued to clean "you look so confused... I imagine that, it must have been quite the shock to see me here, from what the information I got from your system?... Astraea?".
She turned to looked at me and I nodded "yeah her name is Astraea".
She smiled "okay, well Astraea told me that as world jumper you have information of the existence of different worlds and one of those is mine, if you know about it already then you must also know where I used to work and who I used to serve and how content I must have been working in the Scarlet Masion".
Again I nodded, I know she must have a reason to be here, Astraea said that whoever get chosen for summoning will be a version of that person that had accepted to be summoned for whatever reason so I was curious as to why she would chose to be here.
Sakuya suddenly took out a broom and began to sweep and I got the Space Manipulating skill, she then continued to explain "well sure I was content and everything but it does get boring to do the same thing over and over again for many years especially since everything get destroyed often enough and no one wants to help with the cleaning, so I asked lady Remilia if I could leave on a adventure, she said that I was free to do as I wish and besides if ever need to go back I can just reverse time to before I left".
Sakuya then looked up in thought "so while was getting ready to go look for adventures, I got a notification of sorts, one offering me the chance to travel to other worlds and serve under a new interesting master so I decided to accept the offer to be summoned".
I nodded in understanding "I see that makes sense, but even so I'm still a bit shocked about all of this... you did get information about my original world right?".
She nodded while she continued to clean "yes, not very different from mine since it has a very active supernatural world but far more weaker that any of the inhabitants living in my world, you're also not human, are you master Rean?".
I sighed and nodded "that's right, I'm a Heavenly Dragon, pretty much and entity above gods especially now that I have reached even higher levels of power that I have leveled up".
Sakuya stopped cleaning and hummed "gods huh? I must admit that I have never believed in them before but seeing as they really exist in your world I'm going to have to believe a little... though the fact that they seem weaker than me is rather dissapointing".
I smiled and nodded "well from what I know from your world, it is a fact that all of the people living in Gensokyo are extremely powerful and ridiculously skilled too".
She turned to looked at me and softly smiled "says the dragon capable of destroying a planet with the power of the stars".
I chuckled and shook my head, I'm not surprised she was able to discern the nature of my power, even if it's true that Sakuya is just a human I know for fact that she's anything but normal.
After that Sakuya used her power to create herself a room in the house and I went to sleep, the next morning YunYun and Wiz were in amazed at how clean the house and shop were.
Everything was sparkling and shinning, even the merchandise, though I did sweatdrop when I saw Frosslass and Gardevoir sparkling too.
Both were deadpanning something fierce towards Sakuya who was nonchalantly drinking some tea at the kitchen table, though I did catch her grinning at my Pokemon for some reason.
I cooked breakfast and served everyone and Sakuya seemed very impressed with it, I'm still not sure why everyone seems to like my cooking so much but if Sakuya gives it her seal of approval then it really must be tasty.
As we were enjoying our breakfast I explained to YunYun and Wiz about Sakuya, both were very interested about her world and the type of magic they use there, though Sakuya wasn't particularly fond of the flashy kind of magic everyone in her world likes to use, she was more than happy to describe it to the girls, I was glad that YunYun and Wiz seem to accept her right away and I knew Serafall would be the same.
After breakfast Wiz and YunYun opened the shop and took care of it while I showed Sakuya around the town, she didn't seemed very impressed with is since it was pretty much very medieval but she seemed curious about the Adventurers walking around.
Then I took her to the guild were I introduced her to the Luna who was happy to meet her and even gave her an Adventurer's card.
Though poor Luna almost had a heart attack when she saw her stats and occupation, apparently her stats were larger than mine when I got my Adventurer's card and her occupation was Chronomancer.
Appearantly Luna had never seen a class like Chronomacer before and she was completely shocked about it and it's skill list, though I did asked her to keep quiet about her abilities since we didn't want unwanted attention towards us and so Sakuya joined my party.
Afterwards I took her outside and told her everything about the system and let her meet all of my Pokemon, she got along with all of them though Gardevoir and Frosslass were still pouting because they were still sparkling from the unexpected cleaning they got.
Sakuya seem to get along very well with Lugia and Suicune but that might be because she admires their beauty and seems quite content to give them a good scrub and belly rub.
I did laugh a bit when I saw Lugia get on her back so Sakuya could rub all of her belly which she did with a soft smile on her face.
Then I added Sakuya into my system party and explained a bit about the Mini Map and the Telepathic communication.
She seemed in intrigued about all the functions of the system and the in game shop plus when I took her to My PokeHome she fell in love with the place.
After that I sat down with her and we talked more about ourselves so we could get to know better.
I told her about my sister and my parents, how I almost died and how I became a dragon, she frowned a bit but she was genuinely glad to learn that my family is trying to make amends with everything that happened.
I also told her about Kuoh town how I plan to build a home over the forest with a lake that i found a long time, how Serafall bought it for me and ward it so it could always be safe, I also told her about my relationship with Serafall, YunYun and Wiz.
She seemed curious about it and asked how that works, I told her that it just kinda happened and that in this world and the supernatural world of my world it's pretty common for powerful beings to get a harem.
She nodded in understanding and looked up in thought for a while "hmmm I must admit that all of that seem so strange to me, males were not very common in Gensokyo and those that existed there were to weak to catch the attention of anyone but I'm not surprised you caught the attention of other's master Rean, you're quite powerful and your aura just screams alpha".
I blushed a bit at how blunt Sakuya is but I'm not surprised, she's is like that even to Remilia "yeah and I must admit that my dragonic nature seems to like the fact that I have three mates".
She giggled a bit which surprised me and made turned to look at her "it is a dragon's nature to hoard treasure, maybe that's what you will end up hoarding master Rean".
I sighed and slumped "please don't say that... it's not like I go out my way to go look for girls, it just kinda happens you know?".
Sakuya just smiled "sure master Rean but perhaps I should becareful or I might just become another one to your hoard though I don't think I would mind as much, you seem to really cared about the girls and that's always vrry attractive to us woman".
I gaped at her but she then got up and began to get back to town, I gulped because she seemed a bit serious about it and I don't know if I should be worried or happy at the fact that Sakuya Izayoi just flirted with me.
After that Sakuya joined us as an official member of our party and enjoyed the fact that we would travel around and fight all kinds of monsters.
She was a very curious girl and seemed to like to walk off once in while to investigate something or poke monsters in the vitals with her knifes.
She literally shanked quite a few monsters and that was quite scary to witness because her eyes would glow red when she would do that, YunYun however was excited to see someone else with the ability to make their eyes glow crimson red, causing YunYun to hug Sakuya tightly causing her to squeak in surprise because she didn't even sense YunYun move.
Apart from that Sakuya spent her time helping us tend the shop and clean around all the time, she even expanded the shop with her power so we could sell even more things.
I did asked her if she was bored from cleaning such a small house/shop but she shook her head and said "not at all master Rean, it is quite the change of pace to have to clean such a small place and not have to worry when will it be destroyed next".
I sweatdrop and that bit of annoyance in her voice when she mentioned how often the Crimson Masion get destroyed outside and inside, I don't blame her though, it's is pretty much a common occurrence for that masion to be utterly destroy either by the people living there or its visitors.
The only thing I could do right now is pat Sakuya on her head and say "you're an excellent maid Sakuya, good job".
She seemed surprised but then she nodded and smiled a bit, she then went back to tending the shop again.
Sakuya had also become quite popular around Axel town, not only because of her strength and skill but because of her prim and proper demeanor the guild even wanted to hired her to work as a maid for the bar but she refused saying that she was happy serving me.
That statement caused quite a bit of jealousy to be directed at me by most of the male Adventurers because of not only having YunYun and Wiz but Sakuya as well.
So we all got into a big bar fight in which I beat the living shit out everyone, even Kazuma the bastard jumped in to make me catch his hands 'his words not mine' well I used the son of a bitch like a bat to beat the other assholes for that.
Needless to say that everyone was glad that our shop sells healing items otherwise there would be a lot of crippled Adventurers, though everyone eventually apologized saying that their jealousy got the better of them.
I accepted their apologies because one, I can understand where they coming from and two, I really didn't care to much about it.
Though the girls did giggled making sigh and deadpan at them, Sakuya for the most part spend her days hunting monsters with us, tending and cleaning the shop and teaching Wiz how to bake some very delicious sweets, of course I would also partake on those lessons because I do like baking and cooking.
I few days passed by fast as we continue our fun and relaxing days, tonight me, Sakuya and YunYun were closing the shop while Wiz went to the cemetery to help the lost souls that gather there pass on onto the after life, she does this pretty often so we were already used to her taking off to take care of it.
This time however she surprised us not only coming back early but also visibly upset, I immediately knew what was going but I had to ask "Wiz? what happened? what's wrong?".
Wiz's looked up to me and she teared up a bit, which downright upset me, Wiz then explained "I was helping some lost souls pass on but Kazuma and his party showed up... Aqua immediately recognized my magic and Necromancy and she became very cruel to me... she even messed with the magic circle I prepared to help those poor lost souls pass on... now they know I'm Lich...".
I narrowed my eyes while YunYun went to hug Wiz *I knew it... Tch! I should have gone with her but I completely forgot about this and got distracted with everything going on sigh... goddammit*.
I walked up to Wiz and hugged her and YunYun tightly, Sakuya was frowning she was definitely not happy with whoever had upset Wiz, over these few days Sakuya came to consider both YunYun and Wiz to be her friends and like me she wanted to protect them.
I wasn't surprised at all, both girls were just the kindest and sweetest people you could ever meet at they pretty much stole Sakuya's heart because of that.
I sighed because I didn't like seeing Wiz this upset "Wiz... don't mind Aqua, she's an idiot and you don't have to take her insults or attitude, you're way more powerful than her and you can easily defeat her, I bet not even her holy magic would effect you too much now".
Wiz nodded and hugged my tightly while I continued "besides, who cares if they know your a Lich? Luna knows and she doesn't care, it doesn't matter if they report you anyways we're leaving this world soon".
Wiz looked up and stared into my eyes and I gave her a smile "don't worry, if anything else I'll protect you from her or this entire world if I have too, so cheer up okay?".
She gave me a watery smile and nodded while YunYun hugged her side, Sakuya just smiled and turned around to go back to the kitchen but I used Psychic to bring her to us so she can join in the group hug.
She huffed but accepted the hug from us with a soft smile on her face, she's still not used to openly showing affection but living with these two girls was forcing her to get use to it and fast.
Meanwhile within my head I was already planning to punish Aqua, in the show she was very mean and downright nasty to Wiz but I sure as hell won't let her get away with that and I have the perfect idea to get back to her.
Even Astraea wanted me to get back at her and she showed it by giving me a quest.
[Ding! Ding!.
New Quest Received.
Aqua the so call goddess of water has dared to insult and demean our favorite Lich Wiz! teach her a lesson on why is a bad idea to go after those a Heavenly Dragon cares for!.
Objective: Punish Aqua in a way that would teach her a lesson in humility for the rest of existence.
Reward: Legendary Pokemon Token.]
I would have punished her without the reward, no one goes after the people I care about and gets away with it.
I wouldn't find out until way later but according to the girls, at that moment my eyes turned dragonic and began to intensely glow a deep purple color which brought a shiver to go down the girl's spines.
The next few days I made sure I wouldn't leave the shop because I knew that soon Kazuma would show up to the shop hoping to learn a new skill from Wiz and that he would be bringing Aqua with him.
Soon enough one morning he showed up, at the time I was in the back counting our stock of healing items and writing down which ones we needed to go to the Instant Dungeons to grind for more, while YunYun and Sakuya went to the market to stockup on food and some other stuff we need.
I immediately sensed them coming in and I left everything, I instantly went to the front of the shop.
As soon as I step into the shop itself I saw Aqua manhandling Wiz and insulting her, I saw Kazuma take out his sheathed Tachi and go to strike at Aqua to make her let go of Wiz but he froze the moment he saw me and stepped back.
I pointed a open hand towards Aqua and used Psychic to lift her by the throat and then slam her into the ground.
She gasped and grunted from the impact, I let go of my Psychic hold on her and began to walk towards her, Kazuma gulped and stepped back not wanting to mess with me since he clearly remember the beating I gave him along almost every male in Axel a few days ago.
Aqua then got on her knees and began to whine about the pain she was feeling but then she looked up and finally noticed me and paled "just what do you think your doing with Wiz?...".
Aqua scramble back in fear and began to panic "wait you don't understand! she's a Lich! it's a goddess job to destroy the Undead and demons! besides how dare she have this shop and live comfortably when she's an undead and I a goddess has to go hungry and cold!".
Kazuma just facepalmed and called her an idiot, I just continue to glare at her "I know she's a Lich so what?".
Aqua gaped at me not believing what I was saying "but she's a monster! a dark and evil being of darkness! how can you not care!".
Wiz teared up and looked down "that's horrible...".
I closed my eyes "Wiz is one of the kindest and sweetest people I know so what if she's a Lich? me, YunYun and Sakuya don't care as a matter of fact I much prefer her than I washed up goddess like you".
Aqua gasped while Wiz stared up at me with wide eyes, Aqua seemed to have enough and exploded "you're not making any sense! she's a corpse! she's dead how can you cared about something like that!".
And just like that I had enough, my eyes widen in anger and flames began to flicker from my mouth, all of this made Aqua jump up in fright and tried to run away, but I quickly grabbed her by the neck and hold her up.
Once I held her up I immediately looked to her godly energy, her core as a goddess, divinity is energy of a divine nature but it is energy and such I have control over it.
So if being a goddess is all Aqua really cares about, what she really holds above everyone in the world then I'll take it away from her and so once I grab hold of her divinity and begin to rip out of her aggressively.
Of course she tried to fight me but I was way above her not only in power but I also had so many perks and skills that appose godly power that she never stood a chance plus the fact that every skill I possess now carries both a Dragonslaying and Godslaying nature just made things easier.
Aqua of course scream in pain and flail around until I took her divinity, soon Aqua slumped and fell unconscious.
I immediately dropped her and began to coalesce all of the divinity I took from Aqua and create an orb with it, suddenly I received a notification.
[Ding! ding!.
Through the user's actions a new skill has been created!.
Skill: Power Orb Creation.
This skill is unique to Rean Hayashi, by using his concept over energy and the Gamer system he can now create Skills, Spells, Techniques, Perks and even Race orbs!.
The user first has to think what he wants to create and then gather energy into an orb, then the Gamer system will program the orb into a corresponding Skill, Perk, Technique, Spell or Race orb.
Note: When this skill is used on the user himself then a copy of a selected Skill, Spell, Perk and Technique can be created.
Note: The Dragonoid and Heavenly Dragon race can't be replicated as they're are unique Races only available to Rean Hayashi.
Note: This skill can be used on any target to make copies of their Skills, Techniques, Perks and Spells, for best results an unconscious target is recommended but not required.
Note: To use Skill, Spell, Perk and Technique orbs they have to be crushed to be used, to use Race orbs you have to insert into the chest.]
[Ding! Ding!.
You have obtain the Race orb: God/Goddess of water.].
But right now I didn't care much about this, it was was amazing skill, one that I'll probably use a lot to help the girls grow even stronger but at the moment all I could think of, is that I have to teach this girl a lesson for being too cruel to Wiz just because she's a Lich "Wiz, come here a second please".
Wiz who was watching everything go down jumped a bit but nodded and approached me fast, I smiled at her and then push the newly created Race orb into her chest and then with my Luminous Dragon Eyes I could see her Lich race change into Water Goddess.
Wiz of course looked flabbergasted and in amazed at what was happening, she could once again feel her heart beat, she was alive again and she didn't know how it was possible but above else she could feel an overwhelming amount of power.
I smiled at her and nodded "there, now your not longer a Lich Wiz, your a goddess now a much better one than this jerk on the floor".
I turned towards Kazuma who was pale and trembling "don't worry, she's not dead I just took her divinity from her, now she's just a regular human, well her stats are unchanged but her Arch Priest Spell won't be as powerful as before, you came looking for Wiz so she could teach you a skill right?".
Kazuma nodded but he was nervously sweating, I think he was afraid that I would attack him or something, I close my eyes and used my new skill to create a Skill orb containing the spell Drain and then threw it at him.
He scrambled to catch it but when he finally did he then looked up at me "that's a skill orb containing a very useful and cheap mana wise, spell take it and use it".
Kazuma looked down on at the orb, I'm sure that as a gamer he knows what a skill orb is, he proved me right when he crushed it and his eyes widen in shock at the information he must have received for the spell "this spell is amazing... wow, thanks for the skill and for what it's worth I'm sorry about Aqua".
I nodded closed my eyes "that's fine, just make sure you rein her in, that attitude and big mouth of hers is going to get her into trouble some day and now that she's not longer a goddess she might not be able to get away with".
Kazuma nodded and scratch the back of his head "well its not like she was a good goddess to begin with, honestly she does kind of deserve it, you know... she laughed at me because I died of shock at the time of my death, that actually hurt..".
Wiz gasped and I shook my head "yeah she sounds like the worst kind of person sigh... well no matter hopefully she learns her lesson and now that Wiz is no longer a Lich she doesn't have any more room to complain".
Kazuma nodded and soon after left while carrying Aqua on his back, meanwhile I got the notification that I had successfully completed the quest and got a Legendary Pokemon Token.
But Wiz grabbed my hand and held it tightly making me turned to look at her but she surprised me by giving me a kiss in the lips.
It was a soft kiss but I could feel how much Wiz cared for me, Wiz stepped back and gave me the brightest smile I had ever seen, honestly that smile made me blush a bit, Wiz then softly spoke next "thank you Rean, not only for defending but for saying such nice things to me... you even changed my undead status, I don't know how I'll ever repay you".
I smiled "you don't need to repay me but if you still feel the need to do so then just stay by our side, by my side..".
I blushed in embarrassment, I wasn't particularly fond of speaking from my heart and up until recently I had closed up myself to everyone but I guess Serafall corrupted me a bit.
She smiled and nodded at me and then reach over to give me another kiss but then the front door opened, YunYun and Sakuya stepped inside.
YunYun gaped for a second but then pouted when she saw us in mid kissing motion "ah! thats not fair guys! I want a kiss too!".
She then rushed over and tackled us down while Sakuya quietly giggled and silently closed the front door with a soft smile on her face.
The days continued to pass by, as we as a party went about our daily routines, taking care of the shop, grinding, traveling and doing quests, I also spent some time creating skill and perk orbs so the girls can get some of my most useful skills and perks.
Overall we were focusing on having fun and enjoying our everyday adventures as we prepare as I had decided that soon we'll be going back to my world.
I wasn't particularly invested or even interested in taking down the Demonlord, Kazuma and his party can take care of him for all I care, I just wanted to get stronger after all.
Though since Serafall told me to have fun, travel and make friends I chose to take it easy, I'm glad I listened to her, it was because she had asked me to do all of that, that I was able to befriend YunYun and Wiz.
Luna also became a good friend and Sakuya had become an important member of our party and close friend, got to love that dedication she has.
Of course the shop was as popular as ever, even more so because Sakuya was working here and everyone loves to be tended by a maid.
Of course the Adventurers brought the rumor mill to us and that's how we learned of the trouble Kazuma and his party kept getting into.
Like the fact that they gained a mansion but only after they had cleared it of the spirits living there though I know for fact that Aqua was the cause of that mess.
We also heard about how Kazuma almost got consumed by a succubus or something like that. honestly I didn't care much about it and neither did the girls.
Those guys are just as problematic as ever and poor Luna is usually the one that has to deal with all of that, it does make me feel kinda bad we're leaving her with them to deal with by herself.
We already spoke to her about us leaving soon, at first she was sad and disappointed but she understood, according to her, all Adventurers eventually leave Axel town once they grow strong enough, she confessed that she was both confused as to why we hadn't left yet.
But in the end she was expecting it and she accepted it rather quickly, I admit that I'll miss her and I'm sure YunYun and Wiz will too but all of us were looking forward to starting a new live in my world.
I also used my Legendary Pokemon Token and chose Rayquaza (male), I mean this Pokemon is one of the coolest dragon type there is and he can Mega evolve too, that's practically it, as to why I chose him.
Soon enough he became one of my strongest though it still had a lot go catch up too compared to Lugia.
However the day I was waiting for finally came, the day I chose as the date that we were going to leave this world and go to back to mine.
The day the Destroyer came and the day that this world would find out how terrifying and powerful a Heavenly Dragon is.
