Yui is getting absolutely adopted! No arguments!

"Go for the bellies, papa! That is their weak point!"

"THANK YOU, SWEETIE!!!"

{Aww, what a cute, happy family. We already have our first child.}

Yami used the spear he got from the boss and totally destroyed all the monsters. Since he didn't have anyone to teach him, the techniques he used were ones he picked up by fighting with the weapon. But this wasn't bad at all, since some techniques are made for duels or sparring and not for actual combat and they only worked if the enemy was a normal human.

"Let's go home."

"Okay papa!"

The two acted as if they were real mother and daughter even though they had just met.

Either she was the Abridged version and wanted to get close to him and learn about something from him by pretending to be his daughter. Or she was the original version, but the reward from the quest made her really think of him as her father.

He could easily confirm it by going into Paradise and looking at her affection stat.

Actually, taking her to Paradise was a good idea since there was no reason not to and there she could easily get along with all the other girls as their shared "daughter". There was also the special effect of Paradise and she was safe there since the system would be cut from her and she wasn't a battle oriented person, but an AI. She could probably help the building up of Paradise.

Now that Asuna was already in Paradise, there was no reason for the other girls not to know about it. In Paradise he could tell them about everything and particularly telling Strea and Alice was important since through his soul world he can take them with him, even if the game ended. In the SAO-game Strea was afraid of being deleted after SAO was cleared and with that he could quench these fears.

The two didn't chat along the way since both didn't know what to say.

"Should I carry you on my shoulders? That way we can be faster."

Yui looked at him with her big adorable eyes and nodded. She looked really excited and happy about that proposition. If she was acting, she was a really great actor.

Yami bent down and let Yui climb onto his shoulders. He held her legs with his hands, he didn't want her to fall off.

"And? What can you see from up there?"

"A lot of Mama's!"

She pointed towards the end of the forest where Esdeath, Raphtalia and several demi-humans were on standby. The moment they received a message from Yami, all of them would immediately rush towards the boss. It was a safety measure he had taken for unexpected problems. If they helped, then he would fail the quest, but his survival took priority over everything else. He had people to rely on, why should he rush into battle all alone while leaving them behind like certain dumb MC's. Although they couldn't help in the real fight, they had contributed greatly by finding the boss and recovering intel about it. Their hard work was a major reason why Yami was able to defeat a boss all on his own.

"Mama?"

The women had very strong senses, especially the ears of the demi-humans were superior to humans and thus they all heard Yui's words. Confusion spread, who was the girl?

But all of their hearts softened as they saw the scene of her riding on their lords shoulders. They looked like father and daughter with how the girl had a vibrant smile on her face and the gentleness their god held her with.

"Yami-sama, who is she?"

Raphtalia was the first to ask what all of them wanted to know. She was still their representative and all the others saw her as their superior and sister at the same time. Esdeath and Raphtalia were in charge of the Shadow Foxes, while Mikasa also held a special position, but she wasn't the type to command others around. She just happily fought alongside them.

To be precise, Esdeath was the overall commander and Raphtalia and captain of the Shadow Foxes. But for now, the Shadow Foxes were the only unit they had, but it was more than enough to defeat a whole army. Their fighting ability and overall skill was leagues above anything even a highly trained soldier had. And all of them were powerful on their own since they all approached level 100. It was unclear how strong that was in comparison to the standard of the Main-world, but they weren't the weak slaves they were before anymore. Now they were a force to be reckoned with.

"This adorable little girl is Yui, my adoptive daughter. I met her after the boss fight and she insisted that I'm her papa, so now I am. You all wanted a daughter as well, didn't you?"

While saying that, Yami grabbed Yui by her thin waist and put her down with utmost care.

The women were all stunned for a moment because Yami just said that they now had a shared daughter, but the next moment all of them surrounded the cute Yui.

"My name is Yui, papa saved me and I'm papa's daughter. I hope that you will love me as much as I love you, mama's."

All of their hearts were shot through by a heart shaped arrow made up of 1000% Kawaii.

"Can I… touch it?"

Yui asked while pointing at Raphtalia's tail. Not able to refuse her, Raphtalia nodded.

"Wha! It's so fluffy!"

{Like father, like daughter.}

All of them looked at the smiling daughter with smiles filled with motherly affection. If their god, master and husband said that she was their daughter, then she was their daughter.

"How about we go Home? Yui, can you take my hand?"

Although she was a bit reluctant to part with the great sensation of the furr, her father had said so and she was a good girl and would follow what he said.

She took his hand and suddenly the scenery changed. All around her was a beautiful, mesmerizing and mysterious garden with trees and plants that all looked as if they had been made up of a rainbow. Some had multiple colors, others were made out of crystals or glass. Some had strange but good looking fruits on them. And she could see a city as well. There were some things walking around that didn't look like humans, golems, which were carrying construction materials.

"Welcome to Paradise. This is fathers own little world and the home of me and your mothers."

After that he proceeded to show her around. There were big training areas, hot-springs, even some kind of religious shrine and a lot of other buildings. A big plaza for gatherings and most importantly a caste and a big mansion that were made specifically for Yami himself. They had constantly continued to develop, since they wanted to make something worthy of their god.

Some demi-humans had their own houses they built according to their preferences while some lived together or they lived in the big HQ that they built for the Shadow Foxes.

Not only Yui, even Yami was astounded by what the girls managed to make out of his place after only a bit more than four months. Now it was a real city.

The girls had followed him until the entrance of the mansion. After that they all scattered to do something productive. Either training, learning magic, reading books to get more knowledge or helping with further construction and expansion.

Yami and Yui walked towards his room since she said that she wanted a room near her father's.

"Yami-kun!"

The door to his room opened and Asuna walked out of it, followed by Sachi. Asuna looked a bit different; like the goddess account from War of Underworld. And just like in the other girls cases, she looked even better now. Her bust size should also have increased by quite a bit since Yami could notice a considerable difference even though the clothes she wore weren't tight.

[The constellation "Bigger is better" is nodding his head in approval.]

"Master…"

Sachi bowed her head as a greeting. Meanwhile Asuna had noticed Yami's eyes wandering over her body and proudly stuck out her further developed chest. After that she looked him deep in his eyes.

"You know, your wife is really scary… Eeeek!-shit- Y-You know, your wife is really great! She must be the greatest wife in existence! Yes!"

In the middle of her sentence it seemed that Eve had said something to her. After undergoing evolution, Eve could talk to the girl. This was also how the messaging system worked.

To be able to make Asuna behave like that and even fear Eve, Yami really had to draw his head in front of his wife. There was still a bit of curiosity in him to know what happened in one of these "friendly talks", but first, he couldn't listen to it and he probably couldn't make Asuna talk about it. And secondly, and more importantly, he dreaded the answer a bit. He was just going to let Eve do as she pleased since everything she did was to aid him.

{Good husband.}

For some reason, Yami shivered for a moment at that, however, it seemed that Eve had already suppressed her yandere side again.

"... Master, who is that little girl?"

Sachi looked at Yui with warm eyes. Sachi looked to have become even cuter and wore a kimono for some reason. Her assets had grown as well. Her face had become rounder and her eyes were now filled with determination and had a certain shine in them. Her hair had grown to reach her shoulders and she looked more beautiful over all.

"Her name is Yui. Long story short, I saved her and after she declared that I was her father I adopted her and thus she is now my daughter. Oh right, Sachi, do you know about anything that changed after evolution? You look even cuter now by the way."

A healthy blush covered her cheeks and she averted her eyes, but still glanced at Yami from the corner of her eyes.

"Th-Thank you, master. Eve had told me that I was suited to be a healer. And she told me that if I wanted to fight, I should use a spear. I wanted to ask Tsunade-sama to teach me how to heal so that I can help you and repay the kindness all the others had shown me during the time I had been here."

Yami nodded. Currently, only Tsunde was adept at healing, thus having another person to do such a job was good.

"Then I will reward you with this as a token of my appreciation for your determination. This spear is special since it is the reward I got from defeating a boss all on my own."

Sachi received the spear with great gratitude and swore to work hard to be able to support her master.

"Wait, you killed a boss all on your own? Why the hell would you do that?!"

Asuna was a bit pissed. While she was gone, the person she loved got a daughter, went into a life-threatening situation and now that she was back, he gave the girl next to her a gift but not her.

"Asuna, I think it would be best if you asked any of the other girls since I have already explained it to them after you fell asleep. What takes priority is this, here, take it. I forged it on my own for you. This rapier stands for you will to fight alongside me and follow me. Do you accept it?"

Yami held a beautifully crafted rapier towards Asuna. He had worked quite some time on the weapon and the mental stress he was under to create something this great was hard. Because he had to defeat all the games without taking damage SIMULTANEOUSLY!!!!

"I have already talked with that sca… - Eve. Of course I will accept it. She has already briefed me about the other world stuff. The world will be frozen anyways and I would rather come with you than return to my mother. I guess I still need to go with that shit right? Okay. Yami. I love you."

"Glad to have you, Asuna."

"SAY YOU FRICKEN LOVE ME!!!"

Asuna's eyes were bloodshot as she glared at Yami.

"Okay, okay. I love me."

"I'M GONNA STRANGLE YOU UNTIL YOU SAY THAT YOU LOVE ME!"

Yui was looking at the two of them with great interest. Meanwhile Sachi was holding down the berserk Asuna.

{I think I will need to have another "friendly chat" with her…}

It seemed that Asuna had heard from Eve as well since her whole body froze and the next moment she fell unconscious again.

"Mama is funny."

Yui had a smile on her face and Yami couldn't help but have one as well. He himself didn't know why he did what he just did. At that moment his mind just said; how about he do this. It is definitely a great idea and would NEVER get you killed, especially considering you have a part-time Yandere in front of your eyes.

"Sachi, could you take Yui with you to see Tsunade? I will do a quick security check."

She nodded and left together with Yui. Yami picked up the again unconscious Asuna who was sweating all over her body with a very camped expression, and laid her on the bed again.

After that Yami headed into a certain direction.

It took some time, but he arrived.

The Great Tomb of Nazarick lay there. However, there was a big, thick, blue barrier surrounding it.

This barrier was something that had saved Yami from being unable to sleep. Nazarick was a ticking time-bomb and normally they would already have conquered his soul world, but God was nice enough to not let a level 10 face countless level 100ts.

The thing that Yami looked at specifically was a big blue colored teleportation gate that was right in front of Nazarick. It was similar to the gate he could create, but still different. Eve had told him that this gate indeed led to another world, but she didn't know which one.

Ainz and the guardians were probably currently conquering some world because they can't get out of the barrier.

Yami decided not to worry about it for the moment since there was really nothing he could do and it would only bring constant headaches.

After making sure that the barrier was still active and not sighting any NPCs from Nazarick, Yami returned to the city.

Now that he had time, he looked at the affection stats.

[STATUS - AFFECTION

-----------------------------------------------

Yui: I love papa! (95)

Asuna: Unpossessive Yandere Love / Unwavering True love (200)

Sachi: Pure Affectionate Reverence (180)

Black Hanekawa: All of me is Myaster's (444)

Darkness: Please punish me more Master (444)

Senko: I want to love and pamper Yami until eternity (444)

Chocola: Our master's cute cats (444)

Vanilla: Our master's cute cats (444)

Eris: I Love Master forever (444)

---------------------------------------------- ]

Yami still didn't really grasp how the affection and feelings the girls had translated into numbers.

Feelings are way too complicated to just be put into a numerical value, right?

{Indeed, how exactly they feel can't be conveyed through numbers. The same could be said about the stat points. They are a rough estimation of your prowess, but with your combat experience and skills, you could easily defeat someone with higher stats than yourself.}

(I have been wondering about that for a while now; how strong am I actually? Especially in comparison to the beings in the Main world.)

{I can't give you a definite answer. I would need more data to give you a satisfactory answer. You didn't have any real fights with opponents whose battle prowess could be taken as measurement. The most I can do is analyze the data from your previous fights.}

(Please do that, but focus on Japan.)

{Okay. Well, at level one you were already able to defeat Esdeath. Esdeath was the strongest person in her own world and was highly skilled in combat and could even use magic. It wouldn't be a stretch so say that you would need to have a considerable advantage through your stats, if you wanted to defeat her. Meaning that even at level 1 you would be able to easily kill beings with one pair of wings and defeat beings with two pairs of wings. Just your base speed and strength stats would place you high enough to be of interest to all the major factions. You one-hitted a lot of ghouls with just your feathers. Ghouls aren't that strong, but they are by no means weak. Probably around one pair of wings or two pairs of wings. You took down the devil that was attempting to kill Kuroka with just one attack as well. Even if Kuroka was weakened after getting out of the laboratory, the devil needed to have a considerable amount of strength to be able to almost kill her. However, all of that didn't even include your skills, special abilities and racial traits..}

{After this scenario, you won't only be level 10, be a veteran fighter and get stronger. You will receive the rewards from clearing the scenario as well. Meaning that you are strong enough to act on your own, but you will need to be careful of the different factions and powerful beings.}

Yami nodded. He still didn't know where he stood in the food-chain of the world. But at least he should be able to take care of minor threats. But something like the biblical factions and gods were still way too strong for the moment. For the moment he should probably try to get stronger without drawing too much attention to himself. With the appearance of Kuroka he would get into the DxD plot anyways.

(Laying low… Why do I think of the dumb overused clichee from chinese manhua; The strong main-character "lays low" and some young master comes to him and boasts around for three chapters until the main character finally decides to tell him how strong he really is and shows off in some way. And all of that takes way too long and takes place waaaaay too often. Seriously, in some it is just exactly that one situation repeating over and over and over and over again. It's just shit!)

[The constellation "God-father" is gasping at how you didn't give him any face.]

(Yeah. This whole "face" farce is sooo dumb as well, seriously. Why are the chinese writers always writing such shit? And why do they get fully drawn manhua even with color and everything, but the good stuff doesn't?!)

"Papa!"

Luckily the scene of Yui running towards him with arms spread made him forget his rant. She hugged him around his waist and looked up at him with big and sparkly eyes.

Well, for now he should focus on the world he was currently in. Although it was a good thing to make plans for the future, he couldn't predict what was going to happen after he returned.

He started petting Yui's head which she enjoyed very much. It seemed that head-pats were truly universally great!

"I met mama Tsunade and she was very nice to me. All my mama's are so beautiful! You must be a great man to have some many beautiful and nice wives. You have to be the best man in the world."

He just smiled at her words and proceeded to stroke her hair. Tsunade agreed to teach Sachi and while he was gone Yui and Asuna, who had woken up after another "friendly chat", had gotten to know the demi-humans and Esdeath and Mikasa better.

[The affection of "Yui" has increased to 96.]

At that notice Yami couldn't help but think about what would happen if Yui got to 100 affection. After all, she was way too young to be his wife and at the moment she was his new adoptive daughter.

{I will add another section to the Status for every person who exceeds 100 affection but not in a romantic way.}

(And men! I don't want any men to show up in the Lovers category!)

{Of course I will protect my love!}

"Yami-kun. What about the other party members?"

Asuna seemed to have been forcefully calmed down by Eve. But her bags covered her eyes making her look a little bit intimidating… or like a protagonist of a certain cultured medium that one watches for the plot.

[The constellation "God-father" is saying that it is Art!]

"I'm going to ask them whether they want to join Paradise as well, but I think it would be best if we advanced in the game a bit more. I still have one final test that needs to be overcome. Hanekawa has been keeping good track of them and all their members are going to gather soon. We should advance in the floors as fast as possible until then and then exterminate Laughing Coffin once and for all. Actually, you can tell them or not, the system isn't of great concern to me anymore since Eve has said that God is probably going to accept my idea."

Asuna didn't exactly know what he meant by that, but she just nodded. Yui was nuzzling into Yami's hand but she was actually still listening attentively and trying to figure out what was going on.

"Asuna, since you are now part of Paradise, could you please gather everyone else, we are going back to SAO and go to the 52. Floor. And make sure that Sachi comes along as well, she needs some combat experience as well."

Only minutes after, everyone was gathered. However, Yui needed to stay with Tsunade since Yami didn't know whether the system could still do anything to her after she went to paradise or not.

"Everyone. We are going to clear the next floors. I hope you are all ready. Please raise your level as much as possible. After you reach level 100 I'm going to reward you for your hard work. Now everyone, move out!"

Yami opened a big gate once again and the small army of overpowered demi-human girls walked inside. Fired up again by the promise of getting a gift from their lord and their determination to get stronger and help their god.

Not even two days later, the boss of the 52. Floor fell. The person who dealt the final blow however was Sachi. With the training of Esdeath, she was able to handle the spear she got from Yami with great skill and helped a lot in the battle. Since there wasn't any healing magic, she healed others through crystals. However, her healing was almost unnecessary since the women were just too skilled to even need that kind of help.

The reward Sachi got from killing it was special; she got a pet. A white owl to be precise, which coincidentally focused on healing as well.

Now that the Shadow Foxes even got a healer, they massacred the bosses even faster. And one by one fell to their blades blessed by their god.
