A little chat with the girls, yes, just that. At least there are Waifus, right?

"Welcome back Yami-onii-san!"

An energetic Hinami greeted him as Yami opened the entrance door to the Anteiku. The two looked at each other for a moment. Hinami adorably tilted her head since it seemed as if her big brother was waiting for something, he himself didn't even seem to really know why.

[The constellation "God is a girl" has decided to help.]

Sparks of probability started to appear around Hinami as she opened her mouth again and her body swayed to one side and then the other.

"Would you like to have dinner? Or perhaps take a bath? Or maybe…"

Before she could finish the iconic line, Yami chopped her head with his hand.

[The constellation "BONK!! Go to horny jail!" is bonking both of you. Yami for unconsciously waiting for the line and Hinami for unconsciously not being totally against it.]

It has to be noted, that the Probability used would only make her saying this line way more likely, but this also meant that even without God's interference Hinami wasn't totally against this kind of thought…

"Yami is back?"

The next person to appear was Touka. From her still swaying hair one could see that she had rushed over. Once she noticed that she avoided Yami's eyes for a moment. She didn't know how to face him since every time she looked at him certain feelings would come from her heart which she still hasn't acknowledged.

"Nya~"

A certain black cat had strode forth as well. However, she had sensed something or rather someone and thus her eyes weren't focused on Yami but the person behind him.

"... my mate is popular…"

Yoshimura looked over from behind the counter as well. Just like Kuroka, his attention was more focused on the silver haired beauty behind Yami. Quickly his old-man smile returned to his face as he asked:

"And who might this lady be?"

Just then Touka and Hinami noticed the figure of a woman behind Yami. She had silver hair that reached to her shoulders, light blue eyes and looked to be around 16 in age, a bit older than Yami's appearance which suggested between 15 and 16. Although her loose clothes made it hard to guess, Touka felt a bit of inferiority as she compared herself to this woman, especially her butt was outstanding.

Valina seized all the others up as well, but her eyes stopped on the black cat with two tails. As their gazes met, both of their eyes squinted, as if knowing that both of them were rivals for the spot of being Yami's "mate".

With a proud and confident expression, she stepped forward, puffed out her chest and declared:

"I'm Valina, the strongest White Dragon Empress, partner and mate of Yami!"

To prove her words, and to appear cool, the blue and white wings sprouted from her back. It seemed that her small "chuunibyou" side was coming out.

Kuroka's and Yoshimura's eyes widened and then contracted for a moment. Both of them were clear what the title "White Dragon Emperor" meant. The person in front of them was the bearer of one of the Longinus, the Divine Dividing.

Hearing the words "partner" and especially "mate" as well as Valina's proud demeanor, Touka, Kuorka and all the others shifted their sights to Yami. He had a bright smile on his face as he said:

"I don't know her. She has followed me ever since I left the school grounds."

Hearing these words, Valina comically fell to the ground as her grand appearance was ruined. The prideful and mighty White Dragon Empress now sounded like a stray dog, her chuunibyou side couldn't take it! And the worst of it, it wasn't even false. After losing and deciding that Yami had to be her mate, she followed him even though they knew almost nothing about each other. At least from her perspective.

The impressive image that Touka and Hinami just got from Valina's introduction was immediately shattered. She had even declared herself to be his "partner and mate" while Yami said that he didn't even know her.

Koroka sent a victorious glance at the silver haired beauty whom she already considered her "rival".

"Young one, could you please elaborate on what you meant by your previous words? It seems that you decided those things by yourself and Yami hasn't agreed to any of it. Don't you think it is a bit out of line for you to speak such words considering that according to him, the two of you don't know each other. Even as the White Dragon Empress, you shouldn't be impolite to my employ- Godson."

[The constellation "Godfather" is demanding his position as Godfather back.]

Yoshimura spoke out as he made a cup of coffee for himself. He needed to know why one of the two Heavenly Dragons was saying that his employee, no, his godson was her "partner" and "mate".

In response to the words of the old man, an ancient voice came from Valia's wings.

"His bloodline… he has a dragon bloodline even purer than mine, one of the Heavenly Dragons. This boy is immune to my 'Divide'. And he was able to barely defeat my partner in a one on one duel. It was indeed only her decision to acknowledge him as her partner, but she has several good reasons for doing so."

The shock from hearing these words was even greater than from any of the other things said, for the ones who understood what this meant. Both Kuroka and Yoshimura knew that Yami wasn't ordinary at all, but a purer Dragon-bloodline than a heavenly dragon? Immune to the overpowered "Divide" ability? Able to defeat the bearer of a Longinus in a duel? Although they didn't know the exact strength of her, they could guess, and this guess was terrifying. Especially since the two weren't able to gauge his strength at all and underestimated him by a lot as they couldn't feel anything from him. Except for the incident with the dragon aura in Kuroka's case and the murder of the Gourmet in Yoshimura's case. This person whom the two have already become attached to was way more mysterious and special than they could ever have expected previously.

Kuroka knew about his dragon aura and knowing that his bloodline was superior to even the Heavenly Dragons, she was now even more certain that Yami must be her "mate" to make cute, little, strong kittens with.

Yoshimura on the other hand was contemplating about the information he had about his mysterious godson. What was particularly strange for him was Yami's background since he now learned that he also had an impossibly strong Dragon bloodline. But from what he said about his eating problems Yoshimura had previously thought that Yami was a Ghoul as well… It wasn't impossible to have several bloodlines if you had parents with the given blood, a strong being gave you their legacy, some strange experiment, or maybe something else entirely. What Yami said himself was that he was suddenly and inexplicably teleported to Japan while he was previously part of a ninja village called Konoha… It appeared to be well hidden though since Yoshimura couldn't find anything on it.

[The constellation "Godfather" is laughing at this fake. It isn't called HIDDEN Leaf Village for nothing.]

"I think it would be best if we had a little chat with each other first."

Yami walked past all the others and went upstairs towards his room.

Valina quickly followed after him. And Kuroka. And a certain invisible girl who had been giving Yami death-glares for "abandoning" her… And a certain Guardian Heroic Spirit who wanted to get back to Paradise soon since she already missed Leoness and Yami had promised her and Alice to cook for them, even after the "satisfactory" breakfast, she already wanted to eat Yami's heavenly cooking again. Luckily the weekend was near.

With the ountorage of four girls following him to his room for the "little chat", Yami opened the door to the room. For a moment he considered just closing it in front of their noses like Shirou did with Rin, but a bunny was already pissed at him. This way she would hear some things she shouldn't but it wasn't like it would be detrimental to him, this way she would understand that he wasn't ordinary and he wouldn't need to come up with an excuse for why he left her in the classroom and stormed out of it. If she heard that he had fought with an overpowered being on the level of destroying cities, she couldn't be pissed at him for not letting her be caught up in the mess, right? RIGHT?!

All of them made themselves at home within his room. Valina immediately sat down right next to Yami to make her position clear. In response to this, Kuroka directly jumped onto Yami's lap to make her own position clear as well. Both of them looked at each other, but it appeared that this was another point for Kuroka. 2 for the naughty mischievous cat and 0 for the thirsty dragon empress.

"Sateto. What do you mean by your words? From my perspective, you just suddenly appeared before me, asked for a duel, attacked me, the two of us fought until neither of us could stand straight anymore and after finally being able to get up, you followed me all the way here while saying that you will be my partner from now on."

Valina was still in a staring contest with Kuroka, and seeing that she was losing to his black cat, she decided to take more drastic measures. She closed the distance between them and hugged his arm into her ample breasts, giving a smile of contempt to the cat. Practically saying; "With my body I can do things that a filthy street cat like you can't". At least that's how Kuroka interpreted it and began moving about on Yami's lap, purring and rubbing her body against him.

"Just like I said, I want you to be my mate and partner. You have a dragon bloodline superior to mine, are the perfect sparring partner for my goals, have a lot of potential to become strong, and have beaten me in a fight. Thus I have chosen you."

Yami could already guess everything else, but there was still one question.

"And what do you plan to do now? Even if you want to be my "partner" does that mean we like live together, or is it an on and off thing, or will you only call me whenever you need me? Or is it like; I'm gonna make breakfast for you and you will just leave and come whenever you want? It's not like you can just live here with me."

"Yes we can!"

As he saw the very very faint sparks of Probability appear around Valina, Yami just sighed inside. Valina let go of his arm, went to the door, opened it and shouted downstairs like a teenage girl to her father:

"Hey, can I live here?!"

"Sure!"

Came the unusual reply from downstairs after a few seconds. Although he didn't see it, Yami was 100% sure that Yoshimura also had Probability floating around him, and a lot more than around Valina.

"That was super easy, barely an inconvenience. But this still leaves the question on 'what do you plan to do now'. I'm going to school and am working here, what about you? As I seem to now be your "partner", shouldn't I know a bit more about the position I'm in and about you?"

Valina had already sat down beside him again and nodded.

"I want to become stronger… And you are perfect for sparring with me since my Sacred Gear doesn't work on you. The fight with you has made it clear to me that I'm still not strong enough at all and that without my Sacred Gear, I have no chance… against him…"

As she thought about that person whom she hated from the depth of her soul, she clenched her fists so hard that a drop of blood fell onto the white blanket.

Suddenly, she felt something warm from her right hand. Yami had placed his own hand atop Valina's clenched fist. She looked up at him and what greeted her was a smile, a warm and welcoming smile which somewhat reminded her of her mother…

"Meow!"

In response to Kuroka's show of discontent, Yami just started stroking her head and playing with her tail. The black cat fell back into his lap without wanting or even being able to stand up. Her ears and tail were being played with again and it felt as good as always. And now… Yami really needed to wash his blanket since now there was yet another fluid than the blood.

Like that, they stayed for half an hour. After the fight, Yami didn't have anything against just relaxing and Valina felt calm and safe in his surroundings, or maybe just great? She didn't know exactly, but she liked being around him. And had a lot of fun watching Kuroka get "violated" by Yami's hands as she struggled to get up or hold herself back. What a naughty kitty.

- - -

"The room across from mine is yours. It is quite large since it is made for more than one person. Although Yoshimura is a good person, it would be best if you didn't freeload, meaning you should either pay rent or work in the cafe."

After Kuroka had "broken down" after too much stimulation, Yami showed Valina to her room. It had two beds and looked quite nice and big. There was enough space for more people to live here, but there weren't that many employees yet. Actually, the building was a lot bigger than one would expect, it went very far back and there were a lot of rooms. And as Yami had heard, the house to their right was empty and for sale.

"Okay. I will pay the rent. I have never really worked, but I should be able to get a lot of money through accepting fighting-type quests, after all, that's what I'm good at and what I want to do. Making money while fighting and getting stronger… sounds great!"

Valina nodded to herself in appreciation of thinking of such a perfect idea.

Such jobs were quite common. While the "Hero's" protected the city, there were also quite a lot of mercenary types of combatants. Fighting was common and there were a lot of strong beings and a lot of rich beings who wanted their services for all kinds of jobs.

In this wide world, there were still many undiscovered places, which might contain treasures and powers. Thus there were treasure hunters.

Of course there was also the tempting idea of being a criminal yourself and making a lot of money through illegal means. But since there were the "Hero's", there was a constant struggle between them.

Another illegal job was being a Hit-man, or Assassin. In a world where there were strong beings who could easily kill "normal" beings, sending such a strong person after a competitor or enemy of yours wasn't all that uncommon. It was already a big organisation and through the internet and the right web-sites, it wasn't hard to hire or become a hit-man. Even the government itself sometimes hires such Assassins, not officially of course.

There were also fighting competitions, the equivalent of sports in Yami's old world. But there was the problem of inequality. In Yami's old world, humans were at least similar in strength, through hard training one could get better than the other and thus there was fierce competition. Of course there was inequality there as well, like that white sprinters just didn't stand a chance if it came to the Olympic Games. In this world however, no matter how hard one trained, some beings would always be stronger than you. And if for example a devil were to face a human, the devil would have innate superiority. Through Probability, this was somewhat balanced, but it was still a fact. And deep down, many hated this.

"Hmm. Good idea. You know, I think I will also do a bit of work as well since I need some money as well. I want to build up my own corporation. And money is what keeps the world going, thus it is also what I need besides power. Hey, how about we do some of the jobs together? We are 'partners' after all-"

Valina didn't even wait for Yami to finish as she excitedly nodded. He was strong, had very special powers, two were better than one, and maybe, just maybe being together with a second person wasn't that bad, there was no reason for Valina to decline Yami's proposition.

"Okay. I will look into it on the internet later."

(Papa is proud of you.)

Come to think of it…

(Eve, is Yui already in the other category we previously spoke about?)

{... Eto, ano… I forgot it tehe~}

[The constellation "Air-head" is waving at her fellow comrade… - Why was she waving again?]

{Please forgive me, master. I have now completed the task you gave me. I plead to you to punish me for my failure later…}

While talking with Eve, Yami had pushed down Valina's head onto his lap and had started stroking her. He didn't really do it consciously. He had thought about Yui and wanted to spoil his daughter a bit, but only Valina was there and thus she was the "victim".

[STATUS - FAMILY:

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

Yui: I absolutely love papa (99.9)

Strea: I absolutely love daddy! (99.6)

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

At some point, Valina had closed her eyes in his lap. And at some point after that, she fell asleep. The backlash of fighting until total exhaustion was finally coming in.

Somehow, this female version of Vali Lucifer, the White Dragon Empress, the one whom even gods will fear in the future and who was already near or even at ultimate class, looked really cute right now.

They were already sitting on her new bed, all Yami needed to do was gently lay her down and put a blanket on her.

"Having fun with your new girlfriend?"

The door opened and a pissed bunny girl hopped in.

"If you see it like that, yes."

Mai's mood went even worse. Somehow, hearing this silver haired, honestly beautiful lady call Yami her "partner and mate" really wasn't something she wanted to hear. And now this ladies man was playing father for that girl, treating her with care, giving her a lap pillow and was with her until she fell asleep. Something he didn't do when she slept here on her first night. He promised to help her with her problem, but until now he hadn't done anything, he told her to face it herself, he just left her in the classroom without saying anything and now he came back with a girl who wanted to be his girlfriend or sexual partner?

But if she was honest with herself, she knew that Yami wasn't the bad guy and shouldn't be on the receiving end of all these negative feelings. She knew that she herself needed to overcome her "illness", she knew that he left her alone to protect her, she knew that while she was angry at him for leaving, he was fighting with a being with power so great that she would be killed instantly if she even got close, she knew that he was the only person who actually helped her, she knew that he had always done the best for her even at the time when he left her alone, she needed this time alone and felt save at that moment. When he left her alone in the class, she wasn't angry at him for leaving her alone, she was afraid of being left alone by the last person who could see her and whom she trusted. She knew all of this, but her heart was in utter chaos!

Mai turned around grabbed the door and was just about to close it with a bang. But from the corner of her eye, she could see Yami slowly stand up and talk with a calm but deep voice that went right into her soul.

"Did you know? You aren't the only person with problems, you aren't the only person who needs help. I am trying to help you just like I'm trying to help her. Please excuse what I'm about to say, but I will say it plainly: The difference between the two of you is the power of your and her will. This girl right here has lived on her own for years with nothing but the wish for revenge, she has struggled all this while to become stronger and stronger, to avenge her mother whom she loved dearly. She has fought and fought and never given up, until she had finally met me. She didn't ask for me to solve all her problems, she accepted me as her partner and I will help her, but she doesn't even want me to complete her revenge on her behalf. She wants to do it herself, she needs to do it herself. You on the other hand… How do you want me to help you if you can't even help yourself. I am no exorcist, you need to defeat your hearts-demons yourself, all I can do is give you psychological support, but even that isn't possible because you don't let me. You said you wanted my help and accepted me as a friend, but it seems that these were just empty words. I can't give support to someone who has closed herself. Have you thought of what you want to do to defeat the Puberty-Syndrome? Or have you just been running away all this while, while thinking that at this moment everything was fine and that you can just stay like this? Did you think you can just take an easy way and wait for things to magically turn better, or for someone to turn them better for you? You have never talked to me on your own accord, it was always me who talked with you. Do you expect me to do everything for you just because I said that I will help you? If you think that, I am sorry, I am not your knight in shining armor from the fairy tails. Emancipation is a great thing isn't it? Women are just as good as men, but somehow some still expect the man to live up to the role model instead of the woman… I will say it clearly, I won't save you, you need to save yourself! I will help you walk the road, but I won't princess carry you all the way."

[The constellation "Bullshit no Jutsu" is totally speechless.]

Yami walked over to Mai. He raised his hand. He laid it on top of her head and ruffled her hair for a moment while activating his Wholesome God-hands.

As the bunny girl was still frozen still, Yami left through the open door which she still had in her hand.

The Bullshit-No-Jutsu was really way too powerful in Yami's hands!

[The constellation "God-father" is 80% sure that strong women, especially mentally, are more attractive.]

After the wanna be mike drop Yami teleported into Paradise. He wanted to spend some time with his adoptive daughters and his women.

(I think I might have forgotten something…)

[The constellation "God-father" is saying that it couldn't have been important… while smiling.]

Yami's senses of alert instantly warned him to think this through thoroughly!

(Oh, shit! Saber!)

Luckily Yami wasn't as much of an idiot as God wanted him to be for that moment. He had teleported back to Paradise, but his glutton Servant was still in the Main-world to protect him and he just teleported back.

He needed to teleport back outside and then take her back inside.

{Good news, master. Actually, Artoria can enter your soul-world by herself if you give her permission and the order to do so, since she is your servant and you two are connected.}

Yami took a deep breath. This was something he had been contemplating about constantly; can someone else enter his soul-world. There was the problem that he always needed to personally give them a lift or create a portal for them to get into or out of Paradise. But it would be disastrous if someone else could just enter his soul! Paradise was the final safe place for him, his own land and world. But more importantly, it was his fricken Soul! Just having Nazarick be inside of it had given him headaches, if not for the barrier. He needed to finally get clear answers.

(Eve, please give me all the information about who can access my Soul-world and everything about it.)

{I know what my Love is thinking. Don't worry, I would never let anyone enter your soul who has malicious intent. Your soul world is your own world and only you are its king. The only ways to enter are; Teleportation through you, a Gate created by you, a connection to your soul. God and I could also access your soul world, but don't worry, neither of us would do anything harmful as you know. The greatest danger is through invading your soul with certain techniques. But you have a ridiculous Resistance stat, Perfect Brain, the soul of a primordial Dragon and God's protection. It is safe to say that there is no way to break down your spirit and invade your soul, the only way for that would be if you didn't resist and voluntarily let your mind be invaded. Even then, your dutiful wife is there to protect and help you. But just like Saber, you can give the ones who have a direct connection with you the permission to enter or leave Paradise, but only they can enter and only with your permission. And if you want I can always give notice if they enter or leave. The "direct connection" I mean would be things like being the Master of a Servant, or the Master-Servant Contract. Should I talk with Esdeath, Mikasa, Tsunade and Raphtalia?}

"Yes, please. And can you tell Saber how to teleport here?"

{Your wish is my command!}

Yami could also speak to exactly these people through their Master-servant connection, but there was a simple reason why he let Eve do this work: Eve liked it. As his Wife, she wanted to be of help to him in any way possible, and even just talking with her sisters gave her joy.

Since he knew what was to come, Yami directly went to the kitchen after greeting every girl whom he came across. Some of them who had the courage to ask received head-pats.

The kitchen was on the ground floor of his mansion and it was really big, even the faculties of a certain school for cooking would be getting a foodgasm if they had such a kitchen.

He could create anything he wanted with his Energy, but Yami used the vegetables and ingredients produced by Paradise. The output was enough to feed all the current residents 10 times over for several years. Food wasn't a problem at all since they had a lot of farmland and everything grew faster and better in Paradise than anywhere else.

Meat wasn't a problem either since they had farm animals as well. The conditions in which they were held was nothing short of heavenly for them in comparison to the factory farming in Yami's old world.

After an hour of running around, cooking and multitasking, Yami had made a feast big enough for all the girls within Paradise. Or maybe just enough for the gluttons? He needed to make sure that there wouldn't be a girl imitating pac-man and just eating the food from other girls plates, although that would look really funny.

He had specifically made a whole tower of food just for Artoria, but whether or not that would be enough, he didn't know. But it was certain that she was making progress. She had even talked with Alice on her own accord and seemed just a little bit more human…

Slow but steady progress!

"Yami!"

As he turned around, he could see a blonde kight with stars in her eyes as she looked at all the delicious food.

"Alice, could you help me carry all of this to the plaza and tell Asuna, Leafa and Sinon to gather everyone? By the way, please don't eat too much while carrying it, the food won't run away from you."

"... but it will still be gone within seconds because of the others…"

With a blush of embarrassment on her face, Alice helped Yami. At the feast after clearing SAO, Alice had eaten several of the plates which she should carry because it smelled just too great and she couldn't hold herself back. Even now, she was salivating, but managed to keep herself in check. She was Yami's knight after all.

It didn't take long for Asuna and everyone else to run over, even those who hadn't heard of it, instantly dropped whatever they were doing after smelling the godly fragrance.

And it seemed that Alice's greatest fear had become true; the food was eaten with speeds that would let even Koro-sensei appear slow. Especially Arotria, the tower of food which was enough to really build a tower out of it, was devoured until the very last crumb!

On that day, Foodkind received a grim reminder…
