Chapter 16. The Dragon God Ancestor and Building a life with the girls.
After my mother and sister finally calmed down enough for us to move to the living room and speak about what had just happened, well all sat down and spoke.
Sakuya took over the kitchen right away and served everyone tea and made cookies, if I didn't know better I would would have been as impressed as my parent and sister seemed to be.
But I know that she used her Time manipulation to speed up the baking process, my parents and sister drank their tea while I began to explain everything I've been doing since I woke up from my accident.
All three Hayashi stayed silent and listen intently about my powers, my Pokemon, the girls, the fact that I have gone to another world to get stronger and that I have become a Heavenly Dragon.
In all honesty I expected them to stare at me in disbelieve or just downright declare me insane but no that didn't happen.
Instead my father look down while he rubbed his chin, he seemed lost I thought, my mother was just happily speaking with YunYun and Wiz while Rika was petting My Alolan Ninetails who I summoned so they could see a Pokémon.
My father suddenly looked up at me and stare into my eyes, his eyes then took into a dragonic look and mine did so as well, it was weird like some kind of response to him using a little bit of dragonic energy, then I watched as my father tiredly sighed and slumped in the couch.
My mother most have noticed because she gave him a small smile and rubbed his hand, my father returned her smile and nodded.
Watching all of this go on, I couldn't help to think that I'm about to learn something crazy and amazing at the sametime, that thought was proven true when my father then began to speak.
"We tried so hard to keep you and your sister away from the supernatural... we even left the Hayashi clan all those years ago and moved to United States to prevent you and Rika from awakening you dragonic genes...".
Rika and I stared at my father in confusion, from the memories of the Original Rean all I can see is that we as a family rather suddenly left Japan one day, I don't remember much but one particular memory seemed to be more vivid than the rest.
My grandfather arguing with my father, the original Rean was too young to remember or to understand but to me my grandfather seemed like one of those elitist members of society and he already had plans for me.
Of course my father nopped that so hard that my grandfather was completely caught off guard and couldn't do anything about it but there was still more to this story, I know there is because those memories were very blurry at best.
My sisters and my confusion must have been very visible in our face because our father began to explain "as you know the Hayashis are a very old family, our clan has connections to not only the government but the supernatural world, the Hayashi as a whole belong to the Yokai faction, we're a family of monster hunters and we had spent centuries hunting down the enemies to Japan under lady Amaterasu goddess of the sun".
Mine and Rika's eyes widen in shock but my father continued on "my father is very proud of our history and our dragonic nature, as the older child I was set to not only become the head of the Hayashi family but also the one to continue to pass down our sword style but... I met the love of my life".
Father then turned to look at mom and gave her a soft smile, she blushed in return while YunYun, Wiz and Rika gushed while Sakuya just continue to drink her tea but I could see a small smile that she was trying to hide with her tea cup.
Mother nodded at father and then he continued with his story "I met your mother when she was suddenly attacked by a bunch of Fallen Angels, she was being overwhelmed but I jumped in her defense right away, I used the Hayashi sword style and my dragon eyes to take them out and saved your mother, after that we continue to speak and eventually began to go out".
Mom looked up and smiled "your father was so gallant... he jumped down from who knows where, eyes glowing bright and cutting down Fallen Angels left and right, it's was like watching a knight of old save a damsel in distress hehehe".
I chuckled because my father looked utterly embarrassed while YunYun suddenly stood up from the couch "oh! so that's where Rean got that from! he always jumps in to protect us! and he's so elegant and amazing with the sword!".
My father and mother looked at me in curiosity while I nervously chuckled and scratched my cheek in embarrassment, my father then spoke up "you know how to wield a sword? how curious when father tried to teach you, you instantly hated it with a passion, I have nerer seen my father so disappointed in my life Hahaha! serves the old codger!".
My mother chuckled as memories of my grandfather trying to teach me the family's sword style flashed through my mind *huh? I see... the original Rean just didn't like how the style felt, to him in seemed so primal and savage, to be honest now that I remember my grandfather show casing it to me, I agree, the style is too aggressive and simple from what I can see in the memories and my grandfather didn't help either with that strict attitude of his*.
My father stopped laughing and then stared at me and my sister "at first your grandfather didn't accept my relationship with your mother thinking that she was just a simple foreigner but your mother is far more amazing that he ever knew, she's a very powerful mage, her whole family comes from a powerful magic user and one day your grandfather found out the hard way!".
My father grinned and turned to look at my mother who huffed "I just got tired of his backhanded comments and I blasted him with one of my most power wind spells".
My father chuckled "it was awesome, father was blasted off right through multiple walls and out the clan compound, into a pond just outside Hahaha he never said anything against you mother after that".
Me and Rika gaped at my mother who just looked away in embarrassment, my father then went on "but when you were born Rean, me and your mother didn't want you to live in such dangerous world that is the supernatural world, so your mother and I set out to build a company, one that would allow us to move away from the Hayashi, it took us five years but we succeeded however your grandfather was already putting pressure on you, he tried to force you to learn the Hayashi sword style and tried to awaken your dragonic nature by using his dragon eyes on you but when nothing happened he moved on to Rika and unfortunately he succeeded in partially awaking her dragonic instincts...".
Rika's eyes widen and mine did so as well I had a feeling that I was just about to learn something unpleasant " when we found that out we decided to move to the United States and move our company there, we were successful but Rika's dragonic instincts were still getting stronger, my presence and your mother's magic continued to affect her and so to protect her and you we put our all into the company and began to rarely come home, not only to prevent her dragonic instincts from awakening completely but to prevent the same from happening to you..."
*I see... that's why they spent all their time at work I can understand, they were afraid that we were going to be dragged into the supernatural world where devils are known to reincarnate other races into devils, where fallen angel either kill threats or recruit them or the church who would more than happily hunt us down*.
Father sighed "it was the wrong way to go about it... what happened last year showed us that we made a horrible mistake, we underestimated how much of Rika's instincts have been awaken, her dragonic instincts must have pinpointed you as a weakling and must have pushed her into constantly challenge you, we just got so absorbed into the company that we didn't notice how bad it had become to you until that day Rean".
Rika gasped and I frowned, it makes a lot sense since my own dragonic instincts can be very overwhelming at times, so for someone like Rika who had no idea, she must have been completely blindsided by them.
Father then went on with his explanation "honestly... we just wanted to leave something to you and your sister, we didn't want you to ever need to depend on the Hayashis and have something so you could live in peace and have enough to do anything you wanted... but we got too obsessed and ended up neglecting you and your sister".
Father shook his head sadly "and then our company expanded... we needed to move back to Japan and supervise the new branch that open up here but we wanted to continue to stay away from the Hayashis and so we chose Kuoh town but it seems like bad luck just loves to follow us... we found out too late that two devil heirs live here and we began to fear that they would come after you or your sister, so we immediately began to stabblish our company in this country into a power house to push away both the devils and fallen angels but in our panic we ended up neglecting you even more Rean and then your accident happened and everything just crumble in our hands".
I tiredly sighed and looked down, I understand and if the original Rean was here he would too but what to do? this whole situation was just a bunch of bad situations and decisions with good intentions "look dad, what happened, happened and nothing we do or say will change that, don't get me wrong I understand where your coming from but I won't ever forget, don't worry though I don't hate you or mom or Rika but I moved on, though now I know a couple of things that I was curious about, though I still would like to know who was our Dragon God Ancestor".
Mom tear up a bit but nodded to my words, Rika looked heartbroken but I knew she understood where I was coming from dad smiled and nodded he then close his eyes "so you know that our ancestor was a Dragon God huh?... not a lot is known about him, our family didn't keep any records about him other than he came from the stars and traveled the world, our family dubbed him the traveler and at some point he met our several times grandmother and got married eventually she passed on of old age and silently the traveler left to continue his journey throughout the stars, though if there was something to be said about him was that his mere presence terrified every supernatural being in this world, everyone was afraid of him and he lived a lonely existence because of that... it seems our many times great grandmother was the only being at time to ever approach him without any fear, I think that's why that Dragon God fell in love with her".
*Interesting... my Dragon God Ancestor must come from another world or even another dimension, just who is he? is he still alive? sigh... I wonder if I will ever find out*.
I turned to looked up to my father and mother and grinned at them "listen, I wanted to tell you guys that I'm planning to build a home with these girls and another one, it will close by so you can visit but we need our own place plus I would like to have my Pokemon out so they could have some fun too".
Father and mother turned to look at each other, mom looked reluctant but father then caress her cheek and nodded at her, she returned the nod and father then turned to look at me "okay, we'll support you, you have always had a good head on your shoulders son plus I can get behind with wanting to build life with the ones you love, though I'm still I'm surprised that my son is such a lady killer!".
I chuckled at my father words and the girls blushed at his comment, even Sakuya blushed a bit my mom stood up and then hug me tightly "I always knew you were going to be a good catch for any lady but... take care Rean, becareful of the devils and fallen angels okay? it's your turn to follow your own path but know that you come to us for anything...".
I smiled and hugged my mother tightly, Rika looked down and then nodded "Rean! I'm going to Kuoh academy next year! I don't know anything about all of this dragon instincts or whatever but I'm going to make up for my bitchy attitude! I promise that I'll become your friend next year and show you that I will never act like that ever again".
I closed my eyes and nodded, things might be never go back to what it was back then but we can at least be friends.
We stayed awake all night talking and speaking about the plans I had for me and the girls and we didn't go to sleep until very late in the morning of the next day.
Somehow I feel like I can now move on with my life with a smile on my face but I also know that my parents are right about the devils, fallen angels and the church.
Right now I'm above every being in this world but there's still much more I can do and hights of power still within my grasp, as always I must strive to grow more powerful, this time the girls will be with me and together we'll face anything or anyone stupid enough to get in our way!.
I woked up late on the next day, it was already way past noon but we spent a lot of time speaking with my parents and learning a lot of new things last night.
We also got their blessing to go on and build a life together but father did warned me to becareful of grandfather, if he somehow finds out that I have become a Heavenly Dragon he might try to get involved in my life.
I'll heed his warning but deep down I decided if that old fool tries anything then I'll just kill him off, I rather not have to deal with his elitist bullshit.
But right now that wasn't important, I looked around and notice that the girls were more than likely awake and moving around the house.
So I stood up from my bed, last night the girls literally forced me to sleep in the bed with them, Sakuya enlarged it with a spell which I immediately learned and we all fell asleep together.
It wasn't the first time they done this, because once in a while one of the girls would sneak into my room during the night to sleep in my bed with me, so I was used to it, what did catch me off guard was Sakuya also jumping into the bed and sleeping with us.
I asked her why and all she said was that it looked like it was comfortable, she said that with a smile on her face, I swear I sometimes don't know what that maid is thinking but if she's happy then that's fine.
I walked over the desk and grabbed my cellphone and immediately texted Serafall to come over because I was back and I wanted to introduce her to some people.
I didn't take long for her to appear in a flashy light show and a cool pose, I chuckled and immediately hug her while twirling her around.
She smiled at me and hugged me back while she laughed "Rean! I'm glad your back!".
I stop twirling her around and then set her down on her feet "yes! I missed you a lot Sera but I had a lot fun and I've gotten stronger too!".
Serafall smiled and reach out a hand towards my face, she then held my face with her hand and gave me a kiss, I kissed her back and soon enough we broke apart " I know you've gotten stronger hehe, yesterday night Ajuka's monitor's exploded and him and Sirzechs were in panic right away, they got hold of me early in the morning and told me about how an enormous energy signature appeared out of nowhere, somewhere in Japan, right now they're investigating to see who it or what it was, more than likely other factions sensed your arrival as well".
I tilted my head in confusion "hold on... Astraea did my energy really did burst out like that last night when we got back?".
[Yes! for a second your energy flared out before I could even stopped it, it seems like you were still empowered by the use of your Ultimate skill Drago Nova.]
"I see... sigh I should have waited a few minutes before world jumping back here, well its something to keep in mind for next time, thank you for stopping it Astraea".
[You very welcome Rean but don't worry about your energy signature, now that I know I will make sure that this won't happen again, I'll personally cloak you from other supernatural beings.]
I nodded and then I explained what had happened to Serafall who nodded in understanding "I see, well as long as your careful, you don't want any unnecessary attention from the factions right?".
I grinned at Serafall and she raised an eyebrow in amusement "it doesn't matter too much anymore Sera, I'm more than powerful enough to fend anyone now and I'm still growing in power, I'm a Heavenly Dragon now".
Serafall widen her eyes in surprise "really? that's amazing Rean, wow my boyfriend is a Heavenly Dragon! hahaha!".
I chuckled at how excited Serafall seems to be, I then I grabbed her hand and began to pull her "come one there's some people you have to meet and new Pokemon too! plus I still have to tell you about everything we did, so let have a picnic with everyone in our lake!".
Serafall smiled and let herself be pulled by me as I excitedly began to tell her about what new powers and abilities I have gained.
Soon enough Rean took Serafall to the kitchen were they found YunYun and Wiz drinking some tea and eating some cake.
Both girls turned around as soon as they heard Rean step into the kitchen but then froze when they saw the girl he brought to them.
They recognize her from Rean's description of her, they knew this was Serafall Leviathan, Rean's first girlfriend, YunYun was the first to get up and shyly approach them.
I smiled a her the moment I saw her walk up to us, she then stood right in front of Serafall and fidgeted with her skirt while blushing "u-umm you must be Serafall, it's nice to finally meet you, Rean spoke about you a lot...".
Serafall stared at YunYun for a moment and then squealed and hugged her tightly causing poor YunYun to squeak in surprise, Serafall then turn to look at me with most serious look I had ever seen her have "Rean! who is this!? she's adorable! doesn't matter I'm keeping her".
YunYun let out a panicked "eeh!" and I couldn't help but to chuckle at Serafall's enthusiasm "that's YunYun, she's a very powerful mage and my second girlfriend so she's kinda ours already Sera".
Serafall grinned and hugged YunYun tighter "yes! score! Rean you did good! it's nice to meet you to YunYun! I'm Serafall but please call me Sera".
YunYun nodded and smiled at Serafall while still being hugged tightly by the petit Demonlord, meanwhile Wiz stepped up to us and slightly bowed to Serafall with a small smile on her face "h-hello my name is Wiz, it's nice to meet you miss Serafall".
Serafall let go of YunYun and patted her head and then hugged Wiz tightly, the now goddess of water smiled and hugged her back.
Honestly it looked hilarious because Serafall is way smaller that Wiz, Serafall then turned towards with a look of awe on her face "Rean! I knew you were a lady killer 'I mean you got me and if that's not proof that you are I don't know what is' but you got your sell a beauty and she seems so nice too!".
I chuckled and nodded "yes Wiz is the best and she gives the greatest of hugs".
YunYun nodded in agreement while Wiz blushed a bit but still continued to smile while she hugged the petit maou.
Suddenly Sakuya appeared with two cups of tea and place them on the table, she then turned to me and smiled "good morning master Rean, I brought you and your guest some tea".
I smile at my time manipulating maid and nodded at her, Serafall let go of Wiz and turned to look at who just spoke only to freeze and stare at Sakuya for a long minute "... Grayfia? did you get shorter?".
Sakuya tilted her head in confusion and I began to chuckle * oh! I completely forgot that Sakuya looks almost identical to Grayfia! hahaha*.
Serafall had now picked up Sakuya and began to inspect her all of the place, Sakuya of course sweatdropped at being treated like a some kind of toy "err.. do you mind putting me down? I don't appreciate being carried like a doll".
Serafall did that and stared at her with a scrunched up brow, while Sakuya dusted her maid uniform "you look like Grayfia but... your not her, are you perhaps a younger sister? a long lost cousin? you somewhat feel human so perhaps a half breed?...".
Serafall seemed completely confused while Sakuya raised an eyebrow at her and then she turned to look at me, I shrugged at herb"perhaps you look like someone she knows?".
Serafall then turned towards me and pointed at Sakuya "Rean! where did you you find a member of the Lucifuge clan?".
Sakuya once again tilted her head in confusion while I grinned at her "she's not a Lucifuge Sera, her name is Sakuya Izayoi and she's a human Chronomancer, she's also not from this world so she can't be from this Lucifuge clan you mentioned".
Serafall raised an eyebrow and turned towards Sakuya who gave her a small bow "It's nice to meet you lady Leviathan, Rean spoke highly of you".
Serafall shook her head and then hugged her "awwe just call me Sera and your adorable! it's like having a cuter smaller Grayfia doll!".
Sakuya sweatdropped and sighed but just accepted Serafall's hug like a champ, I'm not surprised though Sakuya has plenty of experience dealing with eccentric people and Serafall is no where close to the crazies of Gensokyo.
After that we all sat at the table and ate cake and drank some tea Serafall excitedly told the girls that we were going on a picnic which got the girls very excited.
After relaxing on the table for a while, we all then got up and went upstairs to get ready, Rika wasn't home so more than likely she went to a friend's house and my parent probably went to work.
Things might never be the same but I feel we can move forward now, everyone makes mistakes especially when we think we're doing the right thing and I can forgive that, I don't know about the original Rean but I'm not him, I have already lived a long life before starting this one and as the adult I once was, I know that not everything is black and white, there's many shades of Grey in between.
What happened with this family was just a series of bad events and miss communication, it doesn't change that fact that my parent were trying to protect us nor does it change the fact that people were hurt but we can at least now move on with our lives.
After getting ready we all went towards our lake, we decided to walk there so YunYun, Wiz and Sakuya could look around.
Last night I didn't have the chance to show them around so that's what we're doing right now, the girls we're already surprised and amazed by the technology in my and Serafall's world.
But now in broad daylight they can see just how different this world is from theirs, Serafall had a great time telling them about everything they were curious about and explained a couple of fun things to them like the arcade and park.
Eventually we reached the lake and called out to all my Pokemon, Serafall immediately fell in love with Suicune and the Aurora Pokemon immediately took a liking to her and let her hug her.
She was impressed by Rayquaza and Dragonite, though Rayquaza ignore her and just lay down coiled up on the ground, Serafall pouted and went to give Rayquaza a piece of her mind but the green dragon legendary just opened one eye, stared at her for a while but then closed it and ignored her again.
Serafall looked completely devastated and drop to her knees not believing she was being ignored by such a cool dragon but Dragonite leaned down and patted her head to console her.
After she recovered from that blow to her pride she went to say hi to the rest of the Pokemon and all of them were glad to see her, especially the Water and Ice type Pokemon.
Milotic gently wrapped around her and refused to let go but Serafall didn't mind and just rubbed her chin causing Milotic to hum in happiness.
Alola Ninetails got plenty of headpats while Lapras got chin scratches, Vaporeon just climbed up to Serafall's shoulder and stay up there like a fancy blue scarf.
Over all, pretty much every Pokemon was excited to see her, Serafall really liked Wigglytuff and hugged her for a very long while and even dance around with her.
Some time passed and after the girls helped me feed all the Pokemon we all sat down to have our picnic surrounded by the forest and lake, which was also cleaned and purified by Suicune so it looked beautiful.
This was the scenery that we were eating to and while doing so we also told everything we did to Serafall who listened intently.
We told her about being adventurers, the monsters we hunted, the four idiots, Luna, our shop, my evolution to a Heavenly Dragon and my show of power as a goodbye to the world where I met YunYun and Wiz.
We also told her about some of the enemies we faced, like Beldia and the Winter Shogun, about all the spells and skills I have learned, about how Wiz was a Lich and then I turned her into a goddess of water but most of all we told her how much fun we had.
Serafall softly smiled and stared at us for a minute "that all sounds so amazing and fun, honestly I'm a little envious but I can wait my turn and next time we all can go to another world and have a big adventure together!".
We all cheered in agreement, nowtthat I have evolved and I'm stronger, so has Astraea and the system, now I can take anyone I want with me the next time I decide to world jump and I'm planning on taking these four with me so we can have fun together.
After that I began to tell Serafall of all my plans starting with the home I want her help with building "Sera".
Serafall turned to me and gave me her full attention, I smiled at her and began to explain "I need your help with a couple of things, think you can give me a hand?".
Serafall grinned "of course I can, actually I'm a little offended that you had to ask but oh well that's just how you are, so what can I do to help you Rean?"
I nodded and chuckled "I want to build a house here by this lake and forest for all of us, I want to build home together, I'll pay for everything but I need help having someone build it".
Serafall softly smiled, she then reached out and gently caress my face "of course, I'll help you with the construction, this lake and forest belong to us already so we can build whatever we want".
YunYun, Wiz and Sakuya seemed excited about having a home of our own and so was I "I also want to buy a shop in town, Wiz wants to open a sweet and cake shop and I want to help her with that and enroll YunYun to Kuoh academy with us, Sakuya will help Wiz with the shop".
Serafall eyes sparkled "a sweet shop! alright I am in! I'll help Wiz get a good shop! I can't wait to taste her sweets and cakes that one this morningwas so good!".
Wiz giggled and pulled out a slice of cake that she had baked in the morning with the help of Sakuya, Serafall squealed and happily began to eat it, while I then take out the small Alolan Ninetails plush doll I had made before leaving Konosuba.
The girls squealed the moment they saw its, it was small enough to fit in my hand and I had made it with a strap "I will also make these and sell them in the shop, I think they'll be very popular and by watching your reactions I think I'm right about this".
The girls nodded since to them it seemed like the cutest thing they had ever seen, Ninetails walked up to us and sat besides me and scratched my leg, I smiled knowing what she wanted and so I gave her the small plush doll which she took in her mouth and the sat down with it between her front legs, she looked mighty smug for some reason.
The girls giggled " I almost finished mastering the Sewing Skill so next I'll be trying to get a Warding and Enchanting skill and grind them, this way I can protect our home and shop with Warding and create all kinds of things for us".
The girls nodded while I took out a bunch of Skills, Spells and Perks orbs I had created beforehand, I had already done this with YunYun, Wiz and Sakuya, so now it was Serafall's turn.
They girls nodded and smiled as soon as they saw me take out the Skills, Spells and Perks orbs, Serafall stare at them curiously "these are for you Serafall, they contain Skills, Spells and Perks that I think would be very beneficial to you, I got a great skill that allows me to create these, so I can give to anyone a replicate of any of my Skills, Spells and Perks".
Serafall widen her eyes in surprise and amazement, she knew I possess some very powerful and interesting abilities and now I can share those with her or anyone else, she smiled and then began to used them, I had already explained to her how I would use these type of orbs so she knew what to do.
Meanwhile I took out the ring and necklace I bought what seemed so long ago, Wiz smiled when she saw me take them out since she recognized them.
Serafall finished using the orb and was looking herself over in awe until I reached over and grab one of her hands and placed the ring and necklace on it.
Serafall looked at the two accessories and then looked up at me, I smiled at her as I explained "I bought these for you as a souvenir because of the Enchantments on them but I already gave you way better skills that the ones on these accessories, your practically immune to Holy light now and devil magic won't even affect you, with those skills and the rest you can pretty much beat down anyone in the supernatural world, but even still I want you to have that necklace and ring as a gift from me".
Serafall smiled and then gave me a kiss which I returned, YunYun then suddenly stood up and tackle us down "ah Sera! no fair I want a kiss too!".
Sera giggled and hugged YunYun tightly while I smiled, Wiz then lay down on top up of me and hugged me, Sakuya smiled but then lifted her with my Psychic and layed her down right in the middle of us.
She of course huffed but accepted her fate and just got comfortable as we all lay there and enjoy our picnic along with our Pokemon friends.
Things will be busy for a while but by the time my second year of highschool begins we should be more than ready for the series of events that were about to hit Kuoh.
