Ch 28

Getting up by Elma wake-up call again and Lucoa's morning kiss, I noticed that Elma acted more like a maid than Tohru.

Once I was up Lucoa and I did our usual routine before going to school and having to do the same old same old.

Well, that's how it would have gone but when I went to the restroom during my break, I was confronted by Natsuki's stocker.

"Magatsuchi, what are you thinking hanging out with Natsuki all the time." Natsuki's stocker

"I'm friends with him. Why should that matter to you?" Shouta

"Friends, how can you be friends with him when you and your wife are ordering him around?" Natsuki's stocker

Oh yeah, to fully use Natsuki as a maid Lucoa and I are ordering him around whenever he's free, we might look like we are bullying him from the outside, and this guy who I thought was Natsuki's stocker might be a concerned friend of Natsuki looking after Natsuki.

Looking at him I said the only thing I can think of in this situation.

"Okay, he isn't my friend, Natsuki is more like a pet to me, but that doesn't mean I'm forcing him into anything. If you're concerned about Natsuki's well-being you can talk to him." Shouta

After I was finished speaking I walked past him while using a trick Lucoa taught me, the trick uses my magic to mess with someone's mind a little making them unable to move and blank out for a bit.

Once I passed him I went back to class while smiling at Tomoko whose been following me, looking at her I still wonder why she hasn't tried to talk to me yet, it's not like I bite, wait I do but that's not the point.

After smiling at Tomoko I got into my classroom and finished the school day after some more boring classes.

Once classes were over Lucoa and I headed home with Natsuki and Spade following behind us.

When we reached my home Elma came up to us greeted and started to talk to us.

"Welcome back home, Master and Mistress, I would like to inform you that your mother won't be back until dinner along with your dad. Also, a girl name Ushiwakamaru called to inform you that she'll be coming later today to take you, Lucoa, and Natsuki to the Magical Deck Trial at a local Shinto shrine." Elma

Hearing her I was surprised that the Magical Deck Trial was today, but seeing how fast they acted and attacked the school it only makes sense that the trial was pushed up.

After giving it some thought I told Natsuki to call home and tell them he's spending the night here as I don't know how long the trial will take.

Once Natsuki was done calling home I had him let Lucoa read his memory before opening a portal to his room as he needs to change into something respectable as most trials that are overseen by the Shinto faction have a god overseeing it.

I also had Spade do the same as he can't enter the Shinto Shrine in his lion plushie form.

While the two got ready Lucoa and I did the same and change clothing into our date clothes.

Once we all were changed we waited for Ushiwakamaru in the living room.

As we waited Elma brought us snacks before she left to meet Tohru and Kobayashi as Kobayashi invited her to hang out, and Elma wanted to annoy Tohru by showing her maid uniform.

After Elma left and when we are eating our snacks the doorbell started to ring.

Getting up I went to the door and found Ushiwakamaru dressed in a woman's business suit.

Looking at her I felt it was odd seeing her dress in normal formal clothing, but I didn't let it bother me, and I went to call everyone to leave for the Shinto Shrine after greeting her and putting away the snacks.

Once everyone was gathered Ushiwakamaru took us to a Shinto Shrine shrine gate and made some hand signs while saying some words making the shrine gate glow.

After glowing for a bit Ushiwakamaru walked in and had us follow.

After entering the glowing shrine gate I found that the shrine, which looked empty from the outside, was now full of people walking all over the place.

Ushiwakamaru not paying attention to the people took us to the main part of the shrine where the trial was being held.

Once we reached the main part of the shrine we entered the shrine and the inside of the shrine building was made into a courtroom.

After entering the courtroom Ushiwakamaru had us sit on a bench as everything was being prepared for the trail.

As we waited I noticed a lot of Shinigami filling in the benches.

Feeling it was odd I ask one of them why so many gathered here and found out that after the main trail small trails will be held to save time, and as Shinigami are the main law enforcers of the Shinto faction there's always a large number of them attending during court dates.

After understanding why so many Shinigami are here I went back to flirting with Lucoa as we waited for the trial to start.

After a while, a Shinigami standing near the judging podium started to talk.

"All stand for Head Goddess Amaterasu!" Shinigami

Hearing him everyone stood up as Amaterasu walked in, I also have to say this world Amaterasu looks like her game Smite counterpart, not her DxD one.

Looking at her I wonder if she has her Smite personality or her DxD personality.

There's an easy test to check.

--- Amaterasu ---

Relationship:

(<-) Friendly 20% (->)

--- ---

Seeing the relationship I guess it's because she knows me by reading some reports that had me in them and has a good impression of me from the said reports.

After seeing the current relationship I changed it.

--- Amaterasu ---

Relationship:

(<-) Stocker 10% (->)

--- ---

Why stocker, because Odin said Amaterasu was a closet pervert so I want to know what will happen.

If she has her DxD personality I should expect missing used clothes, and if it's her Smite personality she'll just watch me from afar.

After changing the relationship I closed the relationship status and paid attention to the proceedings.

As I was paying attention to the proceedings everything went on like any other trial.

The trial started with a Shinigami presenting all the evidence before two other Shinigami started to argue for their representative's sides, but it was obvious that the Magical Deck defendant wasn't trying to defend them.

It seems that Magical Deck will plead guilty so the trial is just for show.

As the trial went on no member of Magical Deck was called, and their defendant just stated that they are pleading the Fifth so they won't appear until judgment is passed onto them.

After a bit more back and forth Spade and Natsuki were called and question.

After Spade and Natsuki questioning the trial went for a little longer before ended with the two Shinigami closing statements.

Once the closing statements were made the members of Magical Deck were called before Amaterasu.

After the members of Magical Deck were before Amaterasu she banished them from Japan and their magic was sealed for a decade.

Once the judgment has announced the members of Magical Deck were taken away.

After the members of Magical Deck were gone Ushiwakamaru told us we were free to leave.

Hearing Ushiwakamaru words we left as the small trials were starting.

Leaving the shrine we headed home for dinner and ended our day after we ate.

Note to self ask Lucoa to put an illusion on herself and me so we can flirt during boring activities like sitting in a trial if it ever happens again.

After dinner, we all went to sleep for the night.

As I slept Lucoa didn't go to sleep right away as she frowned for a bit before casting magic while mouthing some words.

Once she was done mouthing some words she went to sleep.
