[Chapter 9] Date

A/N: Never went on a date. This is my knowledge from various fanfics and novels I read here. Also, Nero and Eresh might appear out of character in this chap.

This chapter is going to be a romance chapter with Nero and Eresh. No action scenes.

[POV: Alex]

I was currently being led by the hand to somewhere by Ereshkigal. She was wearing clothes similar to Rin's. On my left was Nero who was wearing a red dress. (A/N: I suck at descriptions so much. I will post pictures here later.)

"Can I ask you something?" Eresh said while were still walking hand in hand. I gave her a nod.

"Why did you invite both of us to a date?" She said. 'Hmm... Why did I invite both of them? I don't know, to be honest.' I was deep in thought for a minute or two before answering.

"Because you are clearly in love with me. And, we will be together until the end of the time anyway, why not become lovers instead of just friends?" My words caused Eresh to blush. I smiled at her reaction. (A/N: Who needs character development anyway, am I right?)

"I-Idiot..." She said under her breath. I looked to my left and saw Nero walking smugly.

"Umu! As expected of my Master." She said with a smile on her face. I wanted to pet her head...

And so I did. using my free left hand, I patted her head while using my [God of Headpats] skill. I saw her close her eyes and completely relax her body.

Afterward, we went to a park. This place helped my body relax since, because of Kodandam, my body had the 'Life' attribute.

"Do you two like this place?" I asked them.

"It looks great," Nero said before sitting on the ground.

"We should come to this place more often after the war," Eresh said before sitting next to Nero. She patted the ground in the middle of them. "Come here." She said.

After sitting in the middle of them, we talked about random things, most of them being about me.

"Wait so you can control life?" Nero asked.

"Mhm." I nodded at her before white energy spread from my palm towards the grass below. In a few seconds, 2 beautiful flowers were formed. I plucked them gently before giving one of them to Nero and the other one to Eresh.

"Amazing..." Eresh said while looking at the flower. "Doesn't that mean you can create intelligent monsters now?" I don't know about that, [Jarvis] answer for me, please.

'Master currently can't create intelligent creatures' He said. I was about to reply to Eresh before [Jarvis] spoke again.

'Skill [Life Manipulation] can be fused with skill [Limited Creation]. Requesting permission to start the process.' I gave him a mental nod.

'Skill [Creation] has been obtained. Does master want me to explain its abilities?' I gave him another mental nod.

'[Creation]: the user can create anything, including living lifeforms, as long as he has enough energy and materials to do so.' the same as [Limited Creation] but now I can create living things too? Amazing.

"Thanks to you, I just got stronger," I said to Eresh with a smile.

"Oh? how?" And we continued chatting until I decided to go somewhere else.

"What was this place called again?" Nero asked. I sighed before answering.

"The game center. This is the third time you asked since we got here," I said before noticing a white-haired man talking to a beautiful woman in her 20s. I decided to use [Analyze] on him since he seemed awfully familiar.

[Requesting connection to Akasha.]

[Request permitted. Checking information on the target.]

[Information found. Simplifying information.]

[Information simplified. Uploading information]

[Name: Merlin]

That was enough for me to get out of here. turning around, I grabbed the hands of Eresh and Nero before walking away.

"What are you doing?" Eresh asked me. I answered her question while still walking towards another place.

"Merlin is here." My answer confused them even more. I sighed before explaining. "He can genderbend you two." He couldn't genderbend me since I was technically genderless because of my shapeshifting ability. (A/N: He will still be a guy don't worry.)

Looking behind me, I saw Eresh and Nero with pale faces. I smiled at their reaction.

"Let's go and buy you two some clothes." They agreed with me and started to walk even faster than me.

"Do you think it looks good on me?" Nero said after coming out of the dressing room. She had a white hoodie with blue jeans on. I examined her outfit before answering.

"I really want to hug and kiss you right now." She smiled at my reply. walking in front of me, she looked up into my eyes.

"Do it, you coward." She said smugly. 'Fine, if you insist.' I thought before grabbing her waist and pulling her into a kiss. (Eresh was still picking clothes, and no one was around us) She opened her eyes wide open from shock before slowly closing them and hugging my neck. we continued for another 30 seconds before our lips separated. I saw her looking away with red cheeks.

"Don't do that again. Not without asking first, at least." She said. 'That worked better than I expected it to.' I thought with a smile before nodding at her and looking for Ereshkigal.

(A/N: I think I rushed their relationship. Well, I'm a Nero simp. I hope you guys can understand.)

_______________________________________

We were on our way home from the shopping mall. Nero and Eresh were wearing the new clothes I bought. Nero was wearing the ones she had on when we kissed while Eresh had a red hoodie with a black skirt and knee socks.

"Did you two have fun today?" I asked them.

"Umu! We should do this after the war ends." Nero said. Eresh just nodded at my question.

"Sure. I certainly had a lot of fun." I said with a smile that made Nero's face go red.

And just like that, we went home.
