Back to the Hyoudou Residence

After Mike left Kuoh, the situation with the Hyoudous is not that good. They all are eagerly waiting for Mike to contact them. Miki and Gorou tried to get back to normal but Nozomi would just be staring at the phone and keep waiting for Mike's call most of the time when she's home. She is currently doing the same thing.

Miki and Gorou are clearly worried about their daughter. Miki said, "Nozomi, you can't just sit right there. He will contact us when he is free. Waiting near the phone won't achieve anything, you know..."

"But it's been a lot of days since Hubby is gone... He can contact any moment!! I must stay alert... Hmm?" Nozomi stopped talking halfway and immediately stood up.

Gorou asked, "What's wrong, Nozomi?"

"He is back!!!" Nozomi shouted and immediately ran towards the door. Before Mike could knock on the door, it was opened and Nozomi jumped on to him making them fall while Nozomi kept shouting "Hubbbbyyyyyyy!!!!"

Mike was as confused as hell. He thought of giving them a little surprise but didn't understand how Nozomi found it so fast. "Umm... Nozomi, how did you know that I am here?" Mke was pretty sure that he hid his presence.

"My hubby sense tingled!!"

"What the hell is that?!" Mike questioned if there was an invisible marker on him.

Nozomi started rubbing her face on Mike's chest and sniffed it and said "I was so worried, you know. I was waiting for a lot of time. My 'hubby sense' tingled so many times when you were gone which means many girls tried to get into your pants... It's okay if hubby is making a harem but you shouldn't forget about me!!"

And that made Mike even more confused "Umm, Nozomi... How does this 'hubby sense' work?"

"Who cares?! If it works, it works!!"

And another mystery about her is added to Mike's notes. Nozomi is a mysterious being for Mike. Ddraig can't come out for some reason. And she can sense situations about Mike easily from this so-called 'Hubby sense.'

"Umm... Nozomi, could you get off? Everyone else is staring at us..."

"No!!"

Mike is surrounded by a group of people who are giving a deadpan stare at him. Since the Shidous stay in the neighborhood, Nozomi's shout is also heard by them and they ran out of the house to see what's happening and what they found is Nozomi and Mike flirting with each other.

"Ara~ I am happy that you are flirting with my daughter but the fact that you are here means you had the means to contact us for a lot of time. Do you know how scared I was when I thought you might not contact us again?" Miki Hyoudou asked.

"Mike, I am proud of you that you are traveling around the world to make a harem and carry our legacy but you can't just leave people in anxiety and disappear!!" Gorou Hyoudou complained.

"I was even prepared for you to push me down yet you disappeared. Now, you come back just like that and yet you just keep flirting with Nozomi leaving me alone?! Let me hug you too!!" Irina said with a blushed face and fell on Mike. Nozomi moved to the side so that Irina can hug him too.

"You must be feeling nice, right Mike? After the farewell you gave me, you just come back without notice and flirt with my daughter the next moment." Touji Shidou said.

"Ara~ I was so worried that I might not have a grandchild, you know?" Mrs.Shidou commented.

"I think it's better if we go inside..." Mike said, ignoring all their comments. Everyone else nodded and they went into the Hyoudou Residence.

So, Mike stood in front of them and started his explanation "Alright, let me say this straight. I came back since I missed you guys." And suddenly he pulled out the Ascalon in front of them and took a deep breath. "As you can see, I am no ordinary person. The truth is I am Michaelangelo Strada, one of the highest officials from the Vatican church even though I am still a child. And as you can see, magic exists, so do angels, fallen angels, devils, Gods, etc. I am a being that came into existence out of nowhere and was adopted by Archangel Michael. If you read the bible, yes, this is the same Michael we are talking about. The onee-chan and nii-chan that I talk about are the same Gabriel and Michael that you learn from the bible. My grandpa is a human though. He is a very well known official from the church and my official human guardian. While you may not know it, the angels, fallen angels, and devils are currently in a silent war. My goal is to achieve peace and I do a lot of dangerous things to achieve that goal. Yes, when I met you in the past, I was on a mission. I am sorry for putting you in danger. And I finally decided to come clean. So, knowing all this, would you still like to involve yourself with me?"

This was the conclusion that Mike came up with. Mike understood that as a child, his decisions can be too immature. So, Mike decided to tell them the truth and let them decide it themselves. If they are rejected, Mike will simply walk away from their lives and make sure that no harm will be done to them.

But a load of information was too much for the adults. So, they stayed silent and tried to process what they heard. Touji already knew Mike's identity but he didn't know that Mike is directly related to the angels. Irina is shocked too.

As for Nozomi, "Oh, I am glad that I got to know more about Hubby!!". She is simple, so she has her answer before Mike even began explaining the situation.

The next ones to react are Irina, Touji, and Mrs.Shidou. They immediately got on their knees. Because of their faith, if Mike is acquainted with their leaders like Michael and Gabriel, They should worship him too. "Forgive us for behaving so shamelessly in front of you, Michaelangelo-sama. We are honored that you graced us with your presence..."

"Yamerooooo!!!" Mike shouted as hard as he could "Please don't worship me, I hate it. Just go back to how you used to interact with me, please..."

By the way, Irina's brain was already short-circuited when she remembered all the things she did to Mike.

Miki and Gorou are even more confused about the way others are acting. So, Mike cleared their confusion. "Oh, you two people are the only ones who don't know about supernatural beings. Shidou family is a family of exorcists. So, they worship the church which explains this behavior. As for Nozomi, she is a special case. I will explain that later. Now, Miki-san and Gorou-san, what's your decision?"

"Well, it's too much to take in but Mike-chan is involved in some dangerous work, right?" Miki asked. Mike nodded.

"And you won't be quitting it, no matter what?" Gorou asked.

"I won't," Mike answered.

"I see... Mike-chan, you can't stay in this house anymore...", said Miki.

Mike expected this. He wasn't surprised but he would be lying if he said he isn't depressed. He said, "I understand. Don't worry, I will make sure that you won't be..."

"...if you don't start calling me 'Mom'." Miki Hyoudou finished the sentence.

"Huh?"

Before Mike could say anything else, Miki Hyoudou went and hugged him. She said, "Mike-chan, you know when you first came to this house, I thought you were an angel... You may not understand but you helped us just by being there. So, I made you stay... Forgive me for not realizing that you were just a child... So now, I am not letting you go until you call me 'Mom'..."

"If... If you stayed with me, things might get dangerous for you guys..."

"That is okay. Families are meant to stick together during dangerous times after all... We will face it together during that time... Now, call me 'Mom'!! I am not letting you go otherwise!!" Miki insisted.

There was a moment of silence but, "...Mom." Finally, Mike said it. And the moment he said it, tears started to flow from his eyes for the first time. He couldn't contain himself anymore. He hugged Miki back. While crying he shouted, "Thank you... Thank you... I was so scared... Thank you so much, Mom..." For he, is just a child who longed for parental love more than world peace.

Mike didn't know how much time he cried. All he knew is that the others just stayed silent till he stopped crying.

"Now that you stopped crying, come on, call me 'Dad'!! Well, it might get dangerous but hey, on the bright side, the existence of supernatural beings means that the law doesn't apply anymore!! You can carry out the legacy and legally make a harem now!! I am proud of you, Mike..." Gorou said with a thumbs up.

Mike laughed "Haha... Okay, Dad, but you can give up on that harem dream..."

Gorou was happy that Mike called him 'Dad' and he said, "Oh come on, Mike... " But he changed the topic the next moment, "Anyway, what did you mean that Nozomi is a special case and how does she know about this?"

"Ah, about that. Nozomi, show them..." The moment Mike said it, Nozomi manifested the Boosted Gear on her left arm. Mike explained the Boosted Gear and how Nozomi manifested it to protect Irina from bullies and how Touji covered it up. Once again, Miki and Gorou apologized to Nozomi for not knowing about her bullying sooner. Nozomi said that it's not their fault.

The Shidou family agreed to treat Mike the same way they used to. And finally, everything is resolved and it was decided that Mike will be staying in Kuoh with them. But Mike will still do his work as an exorcist and a peacemaker. And with that, Mike now has two homes, Heaven and Hyoudou Residence, and Mike now has an alias 'Mike Hyoudou'. The name might be lame but hey, the feeling behind that is genuine.

"Hehehe... Now that Hubby will be staying here, Ii can flirt with him all I want." Nozomi is excited.

And to that statement, Mike responded, "Ah, about that, I am sorry, Nozomi, but I am already in love with my Gabriel Onee-chan. So, I can neither reciprocate to your feelings nor create a harem."

There was a moment of silence because of the bomb that Mike just dropped. But after that moment, everyone's reaction is the same "Eeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhh?!!!"

*************************

(Author's Note: Yes!! I finally ended the first main arc!! I know that the chapter is cliche but the ending makes up for it, right? There will be one or two interludes after this and there will be a one-year time skip and we will be entering Akeno's arc. Before you guys ask, I am gonna say it. Shuri is not in the harem, she will be staying with Baraqiel only. That's not gonna change no matter what. And also, other MILFs like Venelena, Lady Phenex, Misla Bael are not a part of the harem too. Go read other fanfics if you want them in the harem.)

(Author's Rant that you can skip but if you didn't, don't complain: I am ranting here because I saw some guy commenting in the previous chapter that Venelena must be NTR'ed just because Zeoticus made an arranged marriage for Rias without her consent(3 likes for this comment). I was like, "dude what? If he was a bad father once, why should his wife be stolen? He was a bad father once, dude. He hasn't been a bad husband even once." Well, it's his own opinion of Zeoticus and I can't agree with that, so no. And yeah, I know that Lord Bael is a bastard. But I don't like putting Misla in the harem just because of that when she won't even have much screen time according to the story I planned. I yeeted both Issei and Ddraig because they are useless to me. Why should I even compromise for Misla? And Shuri's case, simple logic, she loved Baraqiel even after her death and never blamed him for her death or Akeno's suffering. Then why and how would she fall for some other guy when she's still alive?)
