{Maccillian's POV a month later.}
Looking at the collective wall of titt..-, I got a mental whack from Hope for that thought and decided to rephrase that. Ahem, looking at the loves of my life, Hope approved and left my mind, I couldn't deny that I was curious. After breakfast was over, I'd been told that the girls wanted to talk about something. So, being the curious male that I was, I was in my 'Millie' form at the moment so that phrase didn't actually apply to me at the time, I agreed to hear em out in a few minutes.
After said minutes passed, the girls gathered in our room, and we all sat on the bed as they told me what was going on. "So... All I gotta do is hangout with our kids?" I didn't mind it, I was just curious why, since I chilled with them whenever there were free moments... I blinked, then had a thought. ('Free moments' might not actually be enough.) There WERE 5 of them after all.
Taking the lead in this explanation was my favorite pinkett, who nodded at me. "Yes and no." Oh? "We've decided that we'll all have a day where we just spend time and get to know them better. We're having you go first for a couple of reasons really." I had to hear this. "Firstly," I felt my lips twitch when she made her tail look like a 1. "All of them see and recognize you as a parental figure. Saeko and I are only mothers to Eri and Himiko, while the rest of our sister-mates are mothers to all of them, so us going first wouldn't exactly be ideal." Made sense. "Secondly," It was going to be hard for me not to laugh if she kept making her tail reflect the number she was currently on. "They're all at ease when you're talking to them. Sure, it's most likely your Charisma putting them at ease, but it was easy to relax around you when the world had went to shit, so it might not be the main reason." I nodded at that, not exactly caring about the point about my CHA. "Thirdly, you can't really fuck up." I raised a brow at that, and she went on. "Any mistake you could possibly make, aside from outright murdering a newborn," Weird example but ok. "You can recover from." Huh... (I... Guess? Huh...) I hadn't really thought about that, but I could see it. "Fourthly," Back to paying attention. "Since you're in you Vouivre form today, it'll be easier for them to relax around you." That was a fair point too.
Rika decided to pipe up here, and brought my attention to her. "We gotta bet going on too, though none of are gonna tell you on what, so don't ask." I gave her a look, one that basically said 'Oh yeah? Watch this.' And very clearly, started turning towards Shizuka and Hestia, puppy dog eyes going full blast. I had learned and mastered the legendary technique a long time ago, and wasn't afraid to use it!
My blonde wife and lovable goddess took one look at me, and would've cracked if it weren't for Saeko covering my eyes. "Now now my lord, I do believe it was just stated that we would NOT tell you." Well that wasn't fun.
Saya huffed after that. "And don't bother asking Hope or Garda to tell either, we swore them to secrecy already." Wait what?
THAT got me, and I gently pried Saeko's hand off my eyes as I looked at the girls. Hestia was looking away, a blush dusting her cheeks, and Shizuka was covering her own eyes, but doing the 'obviously peeking' thing. "Ok... How the hell did you do that?" Hope was easy to guess, she loved sweets so they could just bribe her like I do. It was Garda that was surprising.
The girls shared a look, and as one, answered. """"""Secret.""""" I gave them a deadpan at that, and was met with a few smirks. The only exceptions were Shizuka and Hestia, who just smiled at me with far more cheek then normal.
We'd ended up figuring out how to bring out Garda, thanks to Hope. She'd questioned whether Doormaker's power would work, and lo and behold, it did. Despite being a creation from my Noble Phantasm, Garda was able to sustain herself so she didn't need to join back with me or anything like that. Usually we'd find her by the pool, reading a book, or in the library talking with Athena or Medea. She was even friends with Medusa, the two were almost inseparable for some reason.
Anyway, shaking my head, I hummed for a bit, then shrugged. "I don't mind. You girls want me to take em somewhere specific, or is it up to me?"
Hestia tapped her chin, then shrugged. "It'll be funner if you go wherever you want. If we just told you where to go, it'd take the fun out of it." She had a point. I'd be a tad annoyed if I didn't get to choose where our kids and I would be spending some quality family time after all.
"Buy ice cream." We all blinked, and looked to Shizuka, who wasn't bothered by the sudden focus at all. She met our looks, and shrugged. "Everyone loves ice cream." I mean... She wasn't wrong... It was just the suddenness of her saying that that caught us off guard.
Still, she was right. "Ok." She nodded at that, and officially, that part of the conversation was at an end. We ended up talking for a bit, me wondering what the girls were going to do for the day, and them asking what I had in mind for our kids. I used my sky high INT, even if it wasn't called that anymore, and came up with a good plan. The girls had approved when I told them, and that was enough for me.
{30 minutes later}
Dressing in my regular look, I wore this in the event I wanted to shift back to my base and not be stuck looking breedable, I 'walked' into Lili's room since that was where all of my daughter's were. Since she was the eldest, Lili had been told in advance that something was going to go on today, and had gathered her sisters, just her sisters since the girls were keeping Sunny here, so I didn't have too. She was a good daughter like that.
Oh, and when I said 'walked' what really happened was me kicking down the door like the kool aid man. "Sup kiddies! We're having a day to ourselves so if ya got anything to do, do it now. And feel free to wear something breathable." My girls had paused as I had come in, obviously basking in the greatness that was me, and just stared. None of them had really reacted as I'd come along, most likely because they heard the 'clack' of my sandals, or because they knew there was no way in hell anything bad could happen while they were in this house, I didn't know or care really.
Anyway, after the sudden intrusion and message, the girls shared a look, Himiko had a happy/manic grin on her face, tail wagging at maximum speed. Eri was vibrating in place, a moment or two away from glomping me like the little cinnamon roll that she was. Missy seemed curious, and a little excited. Lili seemed happy about this, probably because she wanted something like this. Then there was Mami, who WAS interested, seemed a little awkward. I knew it was because of my Vouivre form, but she'd eventually get used to it.
Anyway, my piece said, I nodded, then started to walk off. Though, I spun on my heel a moment later and stuck my head into the room. "By the way, be prepared to fly." And with that, I left, not at all clarifying what I meant by that.
Though, I was sure Lili understood.
{Lili's POV 25 minutes later}
"Ok, you're finally ready, yes?" Looking towards Himiko as we said that, we didn't let the eye roll bother us. (Honestly, why is she deciding to be such a girly girl now?!) The dingus had a minor meltdown about which accessory to put on, the frozen blood rose necklace, made by big sister Saeko, or the liquid flame fang from Papa. I had decided to just wear my normal casual, while the others had been in a slight panic with their outfits. It was amusing seeing them scuttle about like a kicked anthill, but we were a good sister and only laughed when we knew they couldn't hear, or weren't paying attention. The only one who hadn't had a hard time was Eri, who had just worn her standard outfit, minus the bag.
Anyway, my vampiric sister huffed, and decided to go with the rose, then huffed again as she turned to me. "Ya happy now shorty?" Himiko was in her sailor uniform, but the stocking she wore seemed thinner, and her hair was braided for once.
We rolled our eyes at her for that. "Yes, now hurry up. Papa's probably fallen asleep with how long you've taken." I had listened to our other sisters get ready while we had, and already knew they were all ready.
My sister blew a raspberry at that, and waved it off. "Naah, betcha daddyo's just chillin scratchin her snatch or sum." Thank every god known to man we weren't drinking or walking, because we KNEW we would've choked or tripped. She didn't stop there though, and went on as she adopted a thoughtful look, and tapped her chin. "Ya think daddyo goes futa?"
That was enough for us, we cuffed Himiko on the back of the head, hard. "Nope! Not thinking about that! You will cease! Now!"
Himiko just cackled in amusement as she rubbed where we whacked her, but before she respond, we heard a shout from downstairs. "You know I can you, right, ialtóg beag?"
That got her to stop, and blink. "Uhh... Do ya?" Silence...
Then a bark of laughter. "You'll never knooow. Unless you take up a certain someone's ki...-"
"SHUT UP ZAKA!" Big sister Saya's shot echoed through the house, and Papa just laughed again.
She seemed to not care about the message though, and actually went back to talking. "Aww, you emba...- ACK!" Something must've hit Papa, because after that, there was no response. My sister and I shared a look, and both walked out of her room, heading towards Papa.
As we entered the livingroom, we both paused alongside the rest of our sisters, and stared over the railing at Papa. She was still in her female form, but seeing her hogtied by pink aura chains was strange, it didn't help that she just looked at the only two other people in the livingroom with a raised brow. Archer and Nemuri, the latter was recording as she panted, a blush clear on her cheeks, while the former was just blinking in bafflement. Archer and Papa had recognized we were here, so Papa decided to free herself, and stand up... Much to the disappointment of Nemuri who visibly wilted as her tail and ears drooped. "Couldn't you have stayed like that for another minute?"
Papa and Archer gave her a look at that, shared said look, then shrugged. "Nemmy, if you want rope play, Archer is right there." Nemuri turned to Archer at that, a gleam in her eyes that we could see from up here.
Archer shot Papa a betrayed look, and quickly turned to the horny hero. "Whoa time out there. I'm not into shibari or anyt...-"
He was cut off when Nemuri walked up to him, and flashed him a teasing grin. "Oh don't worry about that honey.~" Archer began backing up, and I couldn't help but picture a gazelle retreating from a lioness. "I can get you into anything.~" And like that, Archer began his retreat, shouting bloody murder and 'damned horny dogs' as he did. Nemuri cackled as she ran after him, an aura whip in her hand as she began her 'hunt.'
It was pretty much an open secret that Nemuri liked Archer, partially because he was 'exotic' in her words. Her crush really took off though when she tasted his cooking. There had been a legitimate 'foodgasm' as she took a bite, and since then she's made it her life's mission to get together with him. That was why it was so easy for Papa to get them away from her. (Though, Lili wonders what kind of retribution Papa will enact against Nemuri for taking that video.) Sure, Papa could've just gotten free the moment the chains were applied, she just liked to humor Nemuri.
Suddenly, the soft yet curious voice of my little-est sister broke me out of my thoughts. "... What's horny mean?" We all froze. The sound of someone, most likely Nemuri, tripping and falling was heard throughout the house, and we found it very difficult to not do something. It was easy for us to see the rest of our sisters out of the corner of our eyes, and see they were also frozen. Himiko seemed to be warring with herself, most likely whether she should make a joke or not. Mami was mortified. Missy was very obviously trying to be anywhere but here. Then there was Eri, who was just innocence personified.
Thankfully, Papa decided to loudly clear her throat, and waved at us. "Alright girls, a day of adventure and chilling out awaits!" That seemed to do it, and Eri no longer seemed to be curious about the word 'horny.'
She ran down the steps, we followed after her, all with some bit of worry on our faces since it was possible for her to fall. She didn't, and launched herself at Papa, who effortlessly caught her with her tail, and set her on her shoulder. It was such a smooth action that one would swear it was practiced. Looking up to little Eri, Papa smiled as she poked Eri's cheek. "Haven't your mothers been given you talks about NOT doing that, Unicorn?"
Eri's carefree giggle rang out, and she smiled brightly. "Mommy always catches me so it doesn't matter."
(Ah, the simple reasoning of a child.) Granted, she was right, because Papa wouldn't hesitate to use her full speed if it looked like the youngest of us was in danger, even if she was potentially the most dangerous of us.
Papa rolled her eyes at Eri, and turned to us, giving us a once over. He did raise a brow at Mami though, who had her hair down, was wearing a light green turtleneck with a black skirt that reached above her knees, while also having some comfortable slip ons, I knew because Himiko and I tried them on when we got bored once. Mami met the look, and shuffled a bit. "I-I prefer this top."
Papa blinked, then shrugged her free shoulder. "Ok. Just remember I totally gave ye a heads up." That was curious.
"Where are we going anyway? You didn't really give us a lot to go on." Missy had a point. She had also taken the other point to heart since the black jeans she was wearing looked like they were mauled by an animal, so her legs would be able to breath, and the periwinkle blue tube top let her arms be free.
Papa just smiled at her though, and nodded towards the door. "You'll find out when we get there. For now, let's head out." That said, Papa began heading off, Eri happily kicking her feet as they went.
Seeing that, our sisters and I begun following them, curious and eager to see just what Papa had in store for us.
After Hope, because there was no one else who could just lock the door when no one was near it, locked the front door, Papa set Eri down on the ground besides us, much to her disappointment, and walked a bit away on the front lawn, looking around before nodding. "Should be enough space." That was all the warning we received before Papa began shifting into one of her draconic forms. We watched in fascination, because it was VERY difficult to get tired of seeing someone transform into a dragon, as Papa turned into a massive Silver Dragon, we knew the species was called 'Green Dragon', but Papa didn't have a single green scale so it'd be stupid to call it that, and spread his, he was male again for this, wings, as he reared up and roared for dramatics.
Papa's roar made the ground shake a bit, and a bunch of car alarms went off because of it... Not that he cared. He looked down at us, slowly went onto his belly, and brought his head towards us, then grinned with a maw of very point teeth. Funnily enough, Eri did not seem to have a sense of self preservation, and happily rubbed Papa's snout as if he were a giant puppy instead of a fire breathing creature of destruction. Papa gently nudged her for it, and rolled his eyes at her giggles. "Anyway," The deep rumbling of his voice made the ground vibrate, which was nice on our feet."Get on, we're flying out." Oou, now he had Lili's attention!
"Hell yeah!" We almost missed the slight distortion of the air as Missy jumped in place, disappearing from our side, and reappearing on Papa's head. As soon as she got there, a silver seat appeared behind her, which grew a seat belt when Missy sat down. Our sister blinked at that, then shrugged, settling for turning to look down at us with a smirk on her face. "Come on slowpokes, I wanna ride the dragon!"
Papa's tail twitched, we choked, Mami took a few seconds to process that, and Himiko cackled. "I-I think daddyo might be juuust a bit big fer ya munchkin." She cackled even louder when Missy and Mami blushed. We just rolled our eyes at how immature she was.
"... But I've ridden on Mommy before." Himiko choked at that, and we decided that we were just going to cut this out before the sweet summer child was corrupted by such a foulmouthed degenerate.
So, we walked away from our choking sister, idly noticing Mami had begun rubbing her back like the sweet sister she was, and stood besides Eri. "Don't listen to her, little sister, Himiko is just a silly dingus." While curious, Eri nodded at me, gave a cute 'umu', and went back to patting an amused Papa. She truly was such an easy child to distract.
Anyway, a silver platform appeared underneath us, and gently carried us onto Papa's head, where seats materialized besides Missy. The moment we got there, Eri raced off to sit by Missy's left, while we walked off to the right. Just like with Missy, the moment we sat down, seat belts appeared and locked us in. Giving it an experimental tug, we were satisfied when it seemed like it wouldn't break. (Though, given the fact Papa made it, that's not a surprise.) Nodding to ourself, we looked passed Missy, and saw Eri was happily humming and kicking her feet, excitement clear in her eyes. Seeing us looking at her, she smiled, and waved. We reciprocated, then looked away.
With her checked off, we looked at Missy, who was giving us a raised brow, and a small smirk. "Nice to know I'm your second priority."
That got a snort out of me. "Lili knows you can take care of yourself, Eri is still a baby...-"
"Am not!" Oh dear.
Missy looked at our youngest sister, and grinned at her. "Totally a baby if that's your first response."
Eri pouted, it was adorable. "Mommy does that too though, and he's not a baby!" Missy and I blinked, and shared a look that told us we had the same thought. 'She's not wrong...'
Before either of us could say anything, Papa started chuckling. "Words of the wise, getting older is... Well, WAS, mandatory. Growing up is optional." Now it was Missy's and our turn to snort.
While that phrase DID sound wise, it was practically describing Papa to a T. The man had centuries of life experience under his belt, but he would happily get into a back and forth with a child if he was given the opportunity. It was funny to see Missy's face, showing she most likely came to the same conclusion. Eri was just eating it up though, but on the other hand we doubted she even understood the phrase.
Papa's immaturity and our youngest sisters' faith in him aside, another platform rose to his head, which carried our last sisters. Himiko looked better, though she let out a small cough as she skipped on over to the seat by my side... Godsdammit. Mami walked over to the seat by Eri, and both of them got strapped in as they sat. With all of us seated, Papa made an aura mirror to look at all of us. "You girls comfy? Any changes I need to make?"
Lili didn't think so, and going by the looks of everyone else, they didn't either. Seeing the chance, we took it upon ourself to do a big sister move. "We're all good Papa." Himiko seemed to be the only one who realized what we did, and rolled her eyes, not like we cared for her opinion on this matter.
Papa nodded, and slowly began getting up. It kind of felt like a roller coaster, just a bit slower. When he was at his full height, we could easily see everything around us. Though, we weren't looking at the chaos below for long, because what else would there be when a giant fucking dragon just APPEARS? Standing tall, Papa gave his wings an test flap, then spoke. "Get comfy girls, we're taking off." And a moment later, he jumped into the sky, while flapping his wings.
"WHOALLY SHIII...-" We covered Himiko's mouth, though she kept shouting as we went from ground level to around 10,000 feet in a manner of seconds.
Our other sisters seemed just as excited though, seeing as Missy and Eri were cheering, while Mami had a smile on her face. One would think the former's reaction would be something more, considering we were riding a dragon, but looking at her eyes made it clear she was almost if not just as excited as the rest of our sisters. (Though, it'd be easier to see if she would accept the bite. The tail does not lie after all.) Granted, we knew why Mami hadn't, she wasn't 100% with us yet, but when she was, she'd be as easy to read as a children's book. That aside, there had been less air or inertia issues then one would expect from acceleration speeds such as ours, but a quick look above us made us notice a very thin layer of aura around us, which most likely safeguarded us from any issues that would've arisen from that. (Smart.)
A bit later, when we had transitioned into casual flight, we removed our hand from Himiko's mouth, and not a moment too soon since the brat tried to bite us. We narrowed our eyes at her, and she just smirked at us. "Why are you such a brat?"
Said brat shrugged, and started kicking her feet like a child. "Cause it's fun! Who wants to be stuffy all the time? Not I!"
That got an eye roll from us, and a hum of agreement from Missy, who decided to join the conversation. "Amen to that sister. I've had enough of Armsmaster and Piggy to last me a lifetime."
Himiko snorted at that, but raised a hand over our head, towards Missy, who happily high fived her with a smile on her face as she did. "I ain't even read about the robo-cop dude, or that fat ol tubba lard, but I feel you."
"Didn't one of them die?" The interruption from Mami was unexpected, and easily drew all of our, including Eri's, gazes. She may not have been expecting that though since she froze for a second, before shaking herself out of it. "Or am I wrong?"
"You're right Vanilla, Piggy died of a heart attack. She is not missed." Well apparently Papa wanted to talk too, that's nice.
His answer made Mami frown though. "It's wrong to speak ill of the de...-"
Papa cut in with an amused tone. "Kyubey."
Mami blinked, frowned some more, then slowly nodded. "I retract my statement. Carry on." Her response caused nearly all of us to snort.
"Anywaaay, point was, being stuffy sucks, return to childish immaturity!"
The brat finished that off by looking at Eri, who was not as amused as her older sister. "I'm not childish! I'm mature too! Mama even said so!"
Himiko paused, and blinked before sharing a look with me. 'Shit, whaddo I say to that?'
I subtly shook my head at her. 'It's Best Mama logic, you cannot fight it.'
Our sister 'tskd', then turned back to Eri, who was pouting something fierce. "Well, I'm just sayin ya ain't as mature as moi."
The youngest among us pouted even more, like such a statement was outrageous. "That just means you're old!"
Himiko flinched, as if she had been shot in the heart. That just made Missy and I laugh, while Mami chuckled a bit. The biggest reaction was from Papa, who had barked out in laughter, causing us to shift a bit as his head rose from it. Too bad that didn't stop Himiko from shooting back, but at our current transport. "I know YER not laughin at bein called OLD daddyo! Yer older then this worlds calendar!"
Papa laughed a bit more, then slowly shook his head. "Age is just a number my bat."
"Said the pedophile to the minor." Missy's unexpected statement made Papa and Himiko choke, while we had to resist cackling. It was funnier considering she spoke low enough so only a Werewolf could hear her, keeping Eri and Mami out of the crass humor. It was something of a running joke between the two, considering he was
"How did this turn to ME?! And you sure you wanna get into this jail bait?"
Missy's eye, tail and ear twitched at that, and she huffed down at Papa's head. "Cause you're nosy! And let's see you try calling me jail bait in a few years. When I'm a grown woman I'm rubbing it in your face!" ... Did she know what she just insinuated?
Papa seemed to get it, since he slowed down a bit, which let us notice we were over the ocean, and made another mirror to look at Missy. "As your father, I'm gonna need to ask you to NOT rub any assets or other developments in my face, thank you very much." That rebuttal had Missy spluttering, while Himiko practically howled in laughter. Eri was confused, but Mami seemed to understand that she had missed a bit of the conversation.
We managed to keep in the laugh that wanted to come out, because we had an image to try to uphold, and shook our head. "Papa?" The black eye looking at the mirror shifted to us, and we met it without missing a beat. "Where are we going anyway?" None of us knew, and it would be a good segway into something else, even if he didn't answer.
Humming for a moment, he seemed to come to a decision. "Ya hear about Hashima?"(This is a real place btw.) Blinking at that, we weren't the only one that didn't get it. Not even our native Japanese sisters knew the significance of that word. Seeing that, Papa hummed again, and answered. "Sometime in the 70's? 80's? Ion know when, but an island ended up being abandoned... Hmm... Override, Lili's focus." Our focus beeped, and we decided to ignore the fact Papa could just do that. "Show images of Hashima." Another beep, and then my focus began to project images for all to see. In every picture we saw decrepit buildings, abandoned roads, and overviews of an empty island. It was also quite big, making the image quite worrying.
"Huh... What happened?" We were just as curious as Missy, since we didn't SEE anything outright wrong with the place. "And why are we going to a potentially haunted island?" That... We didn't know what to say to that.
Papa just shook his head though. "Dunno, don't care. As for why we're going... Well, we kinda own it."
It took a moment for us to process that, but when we did, we all shouted """"WHAT?"""" Eri didn't seem phased though, and we were beginning to worry about her common sense.
The chuckling coming from the giant dragon we were currently riding was not helping either. "Yeah, so, a while back, before the Servants and Mami back, Athena and Saya brought up the idea of creating an area where Athena would re-create dungeon monsters." Now THAT was interesting! We had wondered where the fresh Battle Boar, Sword Stag and Firebird meat was coming from. "Now, I had no idea about what to do, we all know I prefer to let them do the thinking unless its necessary. Anyway, they had made a list on a few locations they'd scouted out, and contacted Nezu about them. It took a week or so, but they managed to get ownership of the island eventually. After that they set the Meathead's, Shizuka, and Saya herself on the island. I wasn't allowed because they didn't want me sinking it on accident, as if I'd make a rookie mistake like that." We... Doubted if Papa wouldn't do that just to see their reactions, though we weren't going to say that outloud. "They demolished everything they needed too in an hour, Saya brought some of her bots, and made some aura Grimm to help out, the Meatheads just picked a direction, and Shizuka played around with 'Boom Boom, extra Boom' as she called that thing." Ah... That...
'Boom Boom, extra Boom', was a 30ft/10 meter tall rocket hammer that had the payload of a missile, that would explode whenever it hit anything... And paired with Best Mama, the explosions would be enough to leave a normal person deaf... So it wasn't really a surprise that a mix of those four led to such a quick demolition... (It's annoyingly easy to forget the fact that everyone in our home has the ability to just destroy large landmasses if they so chose to do so.)
We were brought out of our thoughts when Papa went on. "After that, Athena and Saya, along with some help from me, Kiriko, and surprisingly Hestia, expanded the island, while also creating a few different ecosystems for the monsters. So far, we've got areas for everything from the first floor to the 20th, except for the Monster Rex... Well, we don't have War Shadows either since there's no reason for them to be there since the don't give meat or anything tradable. It's be...- Ah, there it is. Take a good look girls, our own private island." We had all been entranced at the information Papa was giving us, so it was understandable that we hadn't been paying too much attention to the trip.
That changed when we were told about the upcoming island... And when we saw it, we could only gape. The island was not only MASSIVE(Think the size of the Guiding Lands, which I'm basing this off of) and somewhat circular now, seemed to be divided into different ecosystems, all closed off by massive earthen walls. The first area where buildings had been shown in the images from our focus, stood larger then life trees that seemed as if they came from an elf's forest. There were even rivers where the sea water flowed into the forested area, and converging into one big lake, with a tree far bigger then the others growing from the center of it, not only overshadowing the entire area, but seeming to be joining it as its large branches seemed to be growing towards the rest of the forest. By the lake were some deer monsters, a pig of some kind, and small white blobs, which were most likely Almiraj... (We have Bells... Amazing!)
Another part of the island seemed to be turned into small island chains, we could even see some adolescent Mermaids together hunting some fish monsters, or playing around... Which raised a few questions on what would be done about monsters like them as we knew they had the capability to be intelligent, but those questions could be answered later. The island chains had some dungeon fauna, as well as colorful plants we had seen before when we had to trade or buy from an Apothecary. Not all of the plants were from Orario though, since we recognized some of the more exotic plants of this world as well.
The third section of the island, out of five, was a bog like area, full of creatures like the frogs from beginner floors, lizards of all kinds, and even some Lamia type monsters... As well as... Squinting a bit, we focused on a particular area, and almost choked as we saw a small school of Jyuratodus! (WHAT THE FUCK?! THOSE AREN'T FROM ORARIO!) And now that we were looking, we recognized the pig back in the forest area as a Mosswine! (Ok Lili. let's just ignore the creatures from another universe and focus on the brand new island we've suddenly been informed we have ownership of. That sounds like a much better idea.) We agreed with the more rational side of our brain, and turned towards the next area of the island...
Which was a fucking volcano area that was as far away from the trees/forest as humanly possible... Wonderful...
Anyway, the volcano was perhaps 60-70 meters tall, bigger then the tree was, but it was still growing so we would just wait and see if it got bigger. There was lava freely flowing down the sides, where a small school of Lavisioth were swimming, joined by some of the smaller monsters from the older Monster Hunter games. Interestingly enough, there was some flora growing around the base of the volcano, as well as by the edges of some of the lava trails. Looking around, we even spotted a pair of infant Infant Dragon sunbathing... Which was an observation that made us blink, then shrug it off a second later.
Then there was the last area... And seeing it, we weren't sure how we were supposed to feel about it... It was a winter wonderland mixed with a crystal like forest, with a mountain about 3/4ths the size of the volcano that had crystals the colors of the rainbow sticking out of them. The trees were of two types, literal crystal creations shaped as trees, and normal trees that seemed to be fine with the cold. It was interesting to see creatures like the bunny yeti thing, a herd of the buffalo creatures, another herd of adolescent Mammoth Fools that seemed protective of the buffalo creatures, a baby Banbaro that was in the middle of both herds, a stray fully grown Crystal Mantis chewing on a tree, and a few youngling Crystal Turtles that were drinking from a stream.
All in all, the island was magnificent... Though, we WERE a tad bit curious about somethings... So we asked! We mainly had three questions, 'Why are there no adult monsters?' 'When did they get creatures from Monster Hunter?' And 'Would there be more?'
Hearing our questions, the rest of our sisters paused, and waited for Papa's answer. After slowing down a bit, he answered. "Well, without the dungeon to instantly spawn them, Athena wanted to observe their natural growth cycles. The 'Wyverns' that you see are at least a week old, and at most, 3 months. Fun fact, the Manti can finish growing after a week. So, if you were ever scared of bugs, just know that one can go from 8 inches to 5ft in the span of a week." That was not fun, and we wish he never told us. "For the Monster Hunter monsters, that's easy. Since we're heading over there for summer vacation..." Papa paused for a moment, and looked at us all in the mirror. "Which I THINK I wasn't supposed to tell you, but oh well. Since we're heading there later, we've scoped out a few places for us to stay. A byproduct of that is us deciding, 'eh why not?' And yoinking some eggs, flora, and other stuff from there for the island. We have a bunch of them in Saya's lab, in a bunch of incubators, waiting for them to hatch. So if any of you want a familiar from that series, lemme know and I'll...-"
"GIMME THE FLUFF BAT!" ... One guess as to who that was.
Papa didn't even miss a beat either. "Which one? Nightshade, or normal Paolumu?"
That got the brat, and she took a few moments to think about it. "The sleepy one. It can put em to sleep and then I can shank whoevuh I want!" Lili was not surprised at this reasoning.
Missy and Mami gave her looks, while Eri mime stabbed the air... (We will need to stage an intervention.) That would come later though.
"Anywaaay. What about you, smols, Vanilla, Little Garden? Any of ye want something from that series?" Now we were curious about their answers.
Missy and Mami were thoughtful, and it wasn't till we were about to land on the big tree, that they decided. "So, quick question." Papa focused on Missy, and hummed for her to continue. "The house is explosion proof, right?" Papa and I blinked, instantly thinking of the many monsters that could blow things up. He nodded though, and she went on. "Can I get a Brachy?"
Papa blinked again, then snorted. "Ah yes, the punching dinosaur... Eh, sure. Just make sure to keep it away from the kitchen. If Archer doesn't turn the little sprog into a kebab, then I will the moment it blows up our pantry." Missy fervently nodded at that, and seemed to radiate excitement. "Vanilla? smols?"
We already knew what we wanted, and looked over to Mami, letting her go first. Or sister sent us a grateful smile, then spoke up. "Can I have a Banbaro?" We smiled at the fact the Magical Girl was taken with fluffy animals, even if they were 15-45ft tall goat ram dragon... Whatever the fuck Banbaro's were. (I was tempted to choose Mizutsune, but decided the big boi was better.)
Papa chuckled, and nodded again. "You can. Pretty sure I saw one when we flew over, so later, we can check if that one's a good match for you." Mami brightened at that, and happily nodded at Papa.
Then his eye turned to me, and nodded. "Lili wants to say Monke for the joke, but we're sure you'd actually get us one just to laugh at us." Seeing the amusement in his eye made us understand that he'd do exactly that. "Our real choice is a Chameleos." We liked the strange creature, and it could help us if we ever went to spy on people. Sure, it was an Elder Dragon, but we'd not only get it as a baby, we were sure we were stronger then an adult one, so there weren't any issues.
At this point, Papa had circled the tree, and began his descent. He still managed to answer me as he did though. "Interesting but ok." We couldn't help but feel excited at that, and slowly we began to think of the chaos the two of us could get up too. "You've been awfully quiet there Unicorn. Anything you wanna add?" He did have a point there.
Looking to the youngest among us, we watched as Eri shook her head, and looked at the eye of Papa with a wide smile on her face. "I have Sunny, nothing they can get can beat him!"
"Ay ay ay, those be fightin words chibi!" We rolled our eyes at that.
But surprisingly, the brat wasn't alone in this. "She's got a point. I bet my Brachy can handle that little bird anytime, any place."
Looking over to Mami, we almost let out a sigh of relief when we saw she wasn't getting in on this... She did look amused though. "I believe the both of you are forgetting the fact that neither of your familiars have been bonded, or hatched yet." She had a point, one that made Eri give them a smug smile at.
Seeing that, both blondes shared a look, then stared at Eri and Mami. "Explosions totally beat whatever Sunny can do."
Himiko nodded along at that. "My batty boo could just put that little menace on time out, insta win!" The irony of her calling someone a menace was not lost any of us.
Eri huffed at her older sister, and crossed her arms. "Sunny'll just blow it away! Or set it on fire, Sunny's good at that." THAT was an understatement.
The hatchling had hit a growth spurt recently, and was now 2 and a half feet long, doubled his wingspan, gained slightly brighter plumage, and could now breath fire... Only in little spurts though, it was still a work in progress for the little dragon to make a continuous stream of flames, but he was getting there. He mostly enjoyed setting Himiko's things on fire, or scratching her stuff. We mainly thought that it was because she would hiss and yowl at the little one whenever he got near, and took his satisfaction where he could... He was oddly vindictive for a baby. And we believed he'd turn into a right hellion when he grew older and bigger.
Anyway, before those three could go any further, Papa glided down onto a wooden area with a platform that grew out of the big tree,(Think the area below Rath's nest) and gently landed on it. The landing took everyone's attention, and so we focused on that as our seats were unbuckled, allowing us to get up for the first time in a half hour. Papa eventually laid down onto the platform, which was big enough for him, and dropped his head to the platform, which was most likely our cue to get off. Taking it, we all got up, and walked towards the silver slide that manifested by his head. We didn't even get a moment to think about how ridiculous that was, since the brat, and Eri, raced off to the slide, and shouted 'WEE!' As they practically threw themselves down it... (Gods give us strength.) Papa's chuckling was not helping!
Shaking our head, we walked over to Missy and Mami, who were watching their sisters slide down towards the platform, and shared a smile with them. "So, we ready to explore a magical forest filled with monsters?"
Missy snorted, while Mami giggled. "Ya know, this was totally something I expected. 100%."
We snorted at that, and even Mami didn't buy it. "Sure. I suppose next time our father takes us on an outing, I'll pick your brain on just what we will be doing." Sarcasm did not normally suit her, but she HAD been spending some time with us, so it wasn't that surprising she could use it.
Our space warping sister grinned at Mami, then shrugged. "Deal." With that said, she backed up a bit, then took a running start as she dived into a roll... And rolled down the slide like she was Sonic. Mami and I watched dumbfounded as our younger sister rolled all the way down the slide, flew into the air, then landed with her arms over her head, striking a pose. "And she sticks the landing! The crowd goes wild!"
From atop Papa's head, we could hear Himiko and Eri wanting to try that themselves, but we decided to just tune them out as we turned to Mami. "So... You or us?"
She looked at us for a bit, then down to her skirt, then back at us with a sigh. "I'll go, I'd rather get this over with as soon as I can." We nodded at that, and let her go. As we did, we mentally hummed to ourself, and thought about the fact she hadn't noticed what she did earlier.
She had called him 'father', and hadn't noticed. We knew she refereed to him like that mentally, but would rarely say it. (This will most likely provide quite the opportunity for them to get closer.) With that thought, we followed after Mami, and rode down the slide, happily humming as we did.
When we reached the bottom, we decided to do a flip since almost all of our sisters did something, and landed right besides Himiko, giving her a smug grin. "Thoughts, little sister?"
Her tail twitched, and she let out a steam like hiss. "2/10." We held back the urge to kick her in the shin. Retribution could come later.
A loud snort drew our attention to Papa, who had dispelled the slide, and began shifting back. In the blink of an eye, Papa was back to 'Millie', and had dusted off her pants. "A good 7 in my opinion." We'd take that. Smiling at Papa, and shooting Himiko another smug look, we reveled in her hate.
Anyway, Papa walked over to us, then gestured her head behind us, where the platform overlooked. Picking up on the fact we hadn't looked at the scenery, we all turned, and gasped at the the tree wasn't as big as the volcano yet, we were still able to overlook the forest section of the island. That gave us a magnificent view of all the monsters/animals drinking from the lake, a look into the forest, and a few of the creatures within, and the sun only made the magnificent view even better. "Na na na na na, na na na na na, na na naaaaa..." And she ruined it.
We all looked at Papa, who had an unbothered smirk on her face, and voiced our thoughts. """""Really Papa?/Laaame!/There goes the mood./I wish we could forget that had just happened./Boo!"""""
Papa just rolled her eyes at us. "I'm obligated as yer father/mother to ruin select moments of my children's lives, I just chose this one to ruin." No one approved of this answer. Though, she clapped, stopping anyone from voicing our displeasure. "Anyway, let's have some fun, yeah?" We approved of this though. After that was said, she looked at all of us, and went on. "We'll be here for an hour minimum, four maximum. So we've got a bunch of time to explore. The question now is, where do you girls want to start?" This was very important!
So, as a group, we huddled up, and began discussing each area. We all immediately threw out the bog, because no... Just no. We knew we were going to visit the winter area later, and we were already in the forest, so the five of us wanted to figure out what order we wanted to go in.
After much deliberation, we came to our answer. We'd explore the forest first, hit the water area after, the go for the ice area. We weren't sure if we wanted to check the volcano out, mainly because it was a fucking volcano and sweaty fur was not a good thing, but we'd figure it out later.
Breaking the huddle, we gave Papa our answer, and she nodded. "Works I guess. Now, let's get this show on the road!" And like that, our adventure on the island began.
{Mami's POV 40 minutes later.}
Thinking about it, this entire trip had been so wonderful. When my sister had asked us to join her in her room, I was understandably curious. Lili and I got along fairly well, not to say I didn't get along well with the others, because my relationships with my sisters were all great. Sure, I was a bit hesitant to get to know Himiko, it wasn't everyday someone genuinely asks if they can drink your blood. It didn't help that she had just suddenly APPEARED behind me as she asked, nearly giving me a heart attack as she did.
However, learning of her circumstances, and just what Q.I.P.P.E was, allowed me to understand her better. Comparing it to a Magical Girls need to get Grief Seeds. There were some moments where her personality would make me pause for a few moments, but that was it mostly.
Missy was the one I got along with the easiest, for a rather depressing reason. We both knew what it was like to be child soldiers, and fight in a world that was going to hell. We both had to grow up faster then those in our age range, something ALL of us could connect with since even little Eri wasn't as oblivious as she may appear to be. We'd talked about our worlds, experiences, and losses, and had come out closer for it.
Then there was Eri. I had never expected to be a big sister, it was easier to start as friends with my other sisters, so I was temporarily out of my depth when it came to interacting with the horned child. That didn't last long when she set her mind to coming into and integrating herself with my life. It was impossible to fight against her S rank puppy dog eyes, so I could never say no to her spending time with me. (Not that I ever would. That girl is a balm for the soul.)
I smiled to myself at that, but decided to focus on the here and now, which was a magical island with creatures I'd never expected to see, and with my family. At the moment, we were just leaving an alcove populated by small white rabbits, which Lili had identified as Almiraj. The little things were adorable, but when she had said they could swarm and devour a person in under a minute, I was understandably a little wary... Himiko and Eri loved them though. Missy was interested in them, but didn't want to appear too 'girly' by openly admitting it.
"Alright. Anywhere else you girls want to see before we move on?" Looking over to the genderbent version of my father, I withheld an answer, and just thought about him/her. I got along with him/her nicely, though I knew I could do better. Despite Archer-san's words, there was something that was holding me back from fully committing to the rest of the family, and become a Werewolf. I wasn't sure what it wa...- The rumbling of someone's stomach brought me out of my thoughts, and look towards the source.
Said source was Himiko, who unabashedly looked at us, brow raised. "Wha?" Our collective 'Are you serious?' Look must've done the job, since she shrugged. "Breky wasn't 'nough, that's it."
None of us seemed to buy that, we all remembered she had a BEBP, Bacon, Egg, Beef and Pork sandwich for breakfast, which SHOULD'VE kept her satiated... Unless she saw something tasty and got hungry... Then it clicked for us. "Really? The Almiraj?"
Missy's question made our sister blow a raspberry at us. "Yeah, so? Cute stuff can be food too!" I decided I was not going to touch that thought at all, and left it be.
The chuckle coming from father caught our attention, and we saw her get an 'I have an idea' look on her face. "We haven't done this yet, since we're in a civilized world, but since we're here, how would you girls like to go on a hunt?" That caught our attention.
For me and Missy, we were confused, never having heard of this. Himiko seemed intrigued and interested, most likely knowing what it was and eager to try it. Eri seemed to be rocking back and forth, visibly radiating excitement. It was Lili's reaction, a raised brow, and slowly waving tail, that got my attention. "Papa, you DO realize Eri and Mami cannot shift, right?" Blinking at that, I put the pieces together, and figured that it was most likely like wild wolves, a hunt for food in their Wolf Forms.
Father proved my theory right by shrugging, and looking at us. "Doesn't matter, they can still participate." Before we could even ask how, father's figure rippled, and in the blink of an eye, a large gray, almost silver, wolf was standing before us, fur ruffling gently in the wind. I had obviously seen this form before, father would indulge Eri, mother Shizuka, or mother Hestia whenever they asked, but there was just something REAL about seeing a wolf of his size that always made me feel in awe. Eri immediately rushed over and glomped the wolf, which made father chortle in small barks. "Alright Unicorn," His voice rumbled a bit like his dragon form did, which made sense since he was using those same vocal cords to speak, but it was a more refined rumble that was smooth to listen too. "Get on." A silver harness appeared on his back that had seats for two, which cause Eri to squeal, and comply without skipping a beat.
With her on, he looked over to me, and I got the idea. So, walking over to him, I got on behind Eri, which caused her to lean into me, which made me wrap my arms around her frame, and got comfortable. With us on, the rest of our sisters assumed their Wolf Forms, and fell in behind father. Lili and Himiko took his sides, while Missy was directly behind him/us. That done, father nodded, and howled into the air.
A beat didn't even pass as the rest of my transformed sisters howled along with him, filling the air with their calls. I didn't know why, but I felt like something I was missing was slowly clicking into place.
When their howls stopped, father sniffed the air, turned to and barked at our sisters, which they nodded at, and began running off, our sisters following after him. As he ran, I took in the feel of the wind against my face, the warmth coming from Eri and father, and couldn't deny how much I was enjoying this. I almost didn't hear father say "Override, Mami's focus." The beep from my rainbow flower focus was something I COULDN'T miss though, so I listened to what father was going to do. "Play 'The Call of The Mountains by Eluveitie at 25%." My focus beeped again, and the sound of music began to fill the air.
After that, father didn't say much else, and allowed us to listen to the song, and the rest of the forest. While the beginning didn't seem like something I would listen too, as it went on, I couldn't nor wouldn't deny the fact I liked it and the feeling it gave me. It was as I listened to the music, immersed myself in the current experience, that the feeling from earlier fully settled.
~The call of the mountains!
!he call of the alps!
The call home!~
(Yes... Home. Home is where the heart is, and it lies with them.) It was as if I made some divine revelation, which shifted my entire perspective. I was at home wherever they were, and that cemented the feelings I'd been growing as I lived with them all. I still felt the love I had for my birth mother and father, but it was about time I allowed the feelings for the rest of my mothers and father to grow to their heights.
[Omake - The Celt and the Rabbit. Cu's POV.]
Coming with the lad had probably been the smartest thing I'd ever done. I got a free home, even though I had to share it with that annoying cac of an Archer, a free view of some of the hottest women skinny dipping in the pool, even though almost all of them were taken, those lucky bastards! I had a bunch of opponents I could let loose on, which was almost daily thanks to a couple after my own heart Rider or Archer, the lad emself, his familiar, the monsters Lady Athena could churn out, constructs, and the wonderful lady I'd found myself with at the moment. "Oi dog breath!" I meant annoying vixen.
Looking at er, she was in a white muscle shirt that showed off her midriff and toned physique, and some real tight black jeans that made my excellent self control strain. We were walking around Kichijoji, lookin for somethin to do, so her shoutin at me when she was literally right next to me, was uncalled for as hell... I'd do the same thing though so I couldn't really bitch about it. I still felt my brow twitch at what she called me though. "Fuckin what?! An I didn't hear ya complainin about my breath last night, Coinín Gealach."
The vixen rolled her eyes at that. "I was gettin my brain fucked outta my skull, fuck would I care about your breath for dumbass?" It annoyed the hell out of me that she had a point.
Me an the rabbit had an interesting relationship. At the start, we were sparring partners, which later on turned into great friends that got along like a house on fire, which then turned to fuckbuddies, which THEN turned into boyfriend/girlfriend. I liked her cause she was an obvious 20/10, short but not too short, headstrong, knew how to take a hit and give em back, and because she was fuckin great to be with... The sex was also a great point in favor for this relationship, because good fuckin lord did she have some EX rank stamina.
Anyway, I waved her response off. "Whateva. What'd ya want though?" She looked over to a nearby arcade, one we hadn't gone too, and I got the hint. "You payin? Or am I?"
Thinking about it, she shrugged, and held out her hand, grin growing as she did. I internally groaned, but returned the smirk. (Swear to all that is holy if she wins I'll make her an actual moon rabbit.) I had good luck, but I'd yet to win a luck based game against her. (I'll fuckin win eventually though.) Shooing that thought away, I held out my hand, and started the count. ""Rock.""
""Paper.""
""Scissors.""
""... SHOOT!""
My scissors meant nothing to her rock. "MOTHERFU...-" The triumphant laughter of my girlfriend cut off my shout, and I felt my brow twitch again. (It's decided, I'm going to kick her ass later, then fuck into a coma.)
With that final thought, I growled and dragged my laughing rabbit to the arcade, ignoring the civilians giving us as wide a berth as possible.
Smart people they were.
Just realized that A is the 800s, but I'm too lazy to go back and fix the others, so oh well.
