Chapter 1 - Part 2 - Vladi of Harem Troubles and Pocket Dimension Shenanigans

Jin Skyward's Soul

Rudra Nam Ul Nasca' Soliloquy

Year 40 – Month 8

The young man in front of me thrust his sword with precise precision. No unnecessary movements were made, his breathing was steady, and he was full of calm fighting spirit. He was not fighting a foe, nor was he in a duel with an ally. He simply swung his sword as per my instructions.

For the last 30 years, Jin Skyward—or Aaron Toole has been diligently training, meditating and watching his lovers and friends grow in his personal dimension. What we teach him, he also teaches them. However, a change occurred around 15 years ago.

"Again!" I shouted at him.

He did as I told him with no complaints. A few months back in the 'real' world, a small tragedy struck him, and he was forced to re-evaluate a lot of things. Personally, I think it was a positive thing, even if he did suffer emotionally and psychologically.

Aaron would only 'enter' that 'state' when he was in 'business' mode. So in a way, after he overcame his own mental battle, he did not completely revert back, but he became a mix of the two 'modes' he would show.

His usual attitude, his relaxed and somewhat childlike personality that the majority of his world has seen, and the one when he's in the role of the 'Middleman' as he calls it. But as I mentioned previously, a change occurred around 15 years ago… no, if I'm being more precise, it was 17 years ago.

If one was diligent and kept an eye on him. As a result of his talk with Suzaku Himejima, he started to change. However, as I mentioned 17 years ago… a more physical change occurred that made the 'change' more visible to everyone around him. I do not know if he was doing it on purpose or if it happened by accident. But…

I looked at Aaron once more—specifically, his eyes. Whenever he is in a serious or business-like mode, the pupils of his eyes… turn into sharp slits like those of snakes, cats and dragons. The first time it happened we pointed it out and he himself was quite surprised. So we concluded as a group that he was doing it unintentionally. However, it has become the norm so we just accept it, the same with his lovers and friends.

As he trained, that is how he looks now. But apart from that, he also exudes an almost invisible aura, making the immediate vicinity around him a bit more… tense. The first time we noticed it was when he was sparring with Sairaorg again. The young Bael devil froze as he was quite intimidated.

"No, you idiot, step a bit more in, like this," said Velgrynd.

She walked over to Aaron and showed him how to do a certain move. Aaron listened attentively and watched her. Once her explanation was finished, he copied her motions perfectly and replicated the move.

In these 30 years, those two have become even closer. Velgrynd, she herself told me that she saw him in a better light after his 'change' occurred. Perhaps she wasn't attracted to his 'childish' side? However, I and others agreed that it had a charm all its own.

His goal for peace, his innate kindness and how he treats people… I would assume that's what attracts people around him. Especially those of the supernatural variety. Of course, his dragon traits also help him in this regard since dragons are pretty prevalent in this world.

Although he used to not see it, I believe that he is now beginning to see it. The first case was… Ddraig, as he said a very strange sentence. Ddraig, around 11 years ago said something along the lines of, 'Partner, if you look at me like that, I may just turn into a woman!'

Aaron backed away from the statement out of disgust... he called him Kiba 2.0, and Ddraig's spirit was crushed that day. The [Welsh Dragon] did not recover for quite some time after that.

"Thanks, I'll go do a bit of personal training then, Rudra, Vel," he said to us.

"Very well. Good work today, Aaron," I replied.

"Hmph, be thankful we even do this for you," Velgrynd said with a huff.

Aaron just smiled at us before walking away. His bokken vanished and he started to transform. Two black horns appeared on his head and his arms had scales appear on them. He had started partially transforming into a humanoid dragon of sorts in the last 10 years.

He hadn't fully transformed into his 'Outer God form', however, he said that by doing this he's preparing to do it. As for when? He has not told us yet.

I believe he wants to keep playing the role of a 'human' for a bit longer. He told us recently that he wished to show the entire supernatural world a portion of his strength eventually. He didn't elaborate on that.

But I believe he wants to show them what the true hierarchy of power is. That he stands above all of them and the two dragons of his universe—Ophis and Irene. We left that decision to him, and won't stop him. We will speak to him about the pros and cons. However, in the end we want him to face the consequences of his own actions and own up to them.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Fwosh!

An enormous explosion occurred. The environment around us started to change as Aaron continued to use his humanoid dragon form. This… this is how he usually ends his time here; however, he also sometimes just ends it by just chatting with us. But he has done that for the last two times, so he must want to train more.

Aaron Toole, whatever happened back 17 years ago, he started to act more… 'King-like'.

I have enjoyed watching his growth, and I am proud of him. I do hope he isn't too devastated when I finally vanish from this existence, and I do hope he doesn't act against my wishes…

Lavinia Reni's Soliloquy

We have been in Aaron's [Pocket Dimension] for around 40 years now. Many of us have become stronger, but to those of us who are in the supernatural and who live longer, 40 years doesn't seem long. But for someone like Kanami-chan, she was quite shocked by it. We train all day, and then relax at night.

It all flew by in the blink of an eye. However…

I looked at Aaron and he was discussing something with Latia-chan. I believe they are discussing his upcoming restaurant that will open in Kuoh soon. I've also been in talks with Natsume, Kanami and Shigune. It's about the future of our team—Slash/Dog.

Tobio Ikuse and Sae Toujou… I believe they will step back from the front lines soon. Why, you may ask? Because... I think Sae is pregnant, and knowing how much Tobi cares for Sae, I think he doesn't want to put her or their baby at risk.

So he may also step down from being a leader. He may suggest I take the role since I'm the oldest in the team, but… I have been with my team (without Kanami) discussing for Kanami to take over as the next leader. I hope Shark-kun (Kouki) will accept this decision when the time comes.

They've discussed who would be the next in command. We never had anything like that since Tobi was the leader. However, they've wanted me to do it but… I've been thinking of leaving the team. I think we might get new members on it. This will help the team expand even further. This will give us more members to be flexible with and I also want to stay with Aaron more.

It's selfish of me, but I just want to. I also suggest for Ajamu-kun to be second in command since he fits in quite well with all of us. I'm thinking of telling Aaron this soon since he'll obviously worry about his friends Tobi and Sae. So he may give them both some form of protection.

"Haaa…" I sighed to myself as I sat in a chair.

I wonder when those two will be done talking…? I wasn't jealous but they've been doing that a lot. I-I mean, I understand, this restaurant is important to Aaron. He has even spoken about expanding into an entire empire and not just a simple restaurant anymore, but he wants to start small first.

An international business that does everything… restaurants, general stores, cinemas… basically everything. He'll buy other businesses, restructure them and integrate them into his own. But Aaron said that was further down the road, and that's why he's talking to Latia-chan a lot.

"Lavinia-sama," said a voice beside me and they placed a teacup on the table in front of me.

"Ah, thank you, Nabe-chan~!"

"No, it's quite alright. It's my job after all," she replied.

Nabe-chan, or Narberal Gamma. Aaron has created a new subgroup for the Electa. While the Electa doesn't have a hierarchy, he finally made some changes. The Pleiades, or the Combat Maid Squad… I'm starting to believe he has a maid fetish…

Grayfia wasn't too happy about it, but Sharon was. To summarize, the Pleiades are below the Electa. Though they are still part of the overall group, they serve the Electa as well. They're also the same strength, so he just wanted to make a new group…

The current members of the Pleiades are as such:

Leader: Risette Twinings-chan

Deputy Leader: Yuri Alpha-chan

Lupusregina Beta-chan

CZ2128 Delta or Delta-chan

Solution Epsilon-chan

Entoma Vasilissa Zeta-chan

Narberal Gamma-chan

After that, Lianne has her own group now too…! The Stahlritter, the members are Duvalie-chan, Ines-chan and Ennea-chan. Aaron said he'd make more in the future, but for now he wanted everyone to get used to them.

So, right now it's like this. Electa (with Lianne's Stahlritter) > Pleiades.

It feels like he's starting his own faction at this point. Jeez! Even though he said he wasn't interested in it at the start. Although… people do change, so I guess that's why. Aaron did change a bit not too long ago.

I call him 'Sharp-eyes-kun' when he's like that. But I only call him that sparingly and it's more of a joke, hehe. But… I also noticed the tips of my hair turning silver like his… is it because I'm influenced by being one of his 'Fated Ones'? I feel a bit special because of it, and Akeno-chan gets a bit upset when I mention it, so I try to avoid doing that around her.

"By the way, Nabe-chan. Where are the rest of the Pleiades?" I asked her.

"They are doing their own duties right now; Yuri Alpha is helping the Bael peerage train. Likewise, our leader, Risette Twinings is helping the Sitri peerage," she replied beside me.

"I see, I see… by the way, do you know the next group Aaron is going to make?"

After being asked this, Nabe-chan became uncomfortable. They are meant to be honest with us 100% of the time. In addition, they are supposed to answer all our questions without making a fuss. However, whenever I ask questions relating to that, she always becomes stiff as a board, jeez!

Aaron really wants to keep it a surprise, doesn't he? But…

"A-as always, the hint is '6 Demons', L-Lavinia-sama…" she replied nervously.

6 Demons… that's way too vague! I can also assume that they're not the 'devils' of our world too! Jeez, he really—

"Nia? Is something wrong?"

"Aaron!!"

I jumped towards him, and he caught me in his arms and embraced me.

"6 Demons, please tell me more about them," I said to him and gave him my best puppy-dog eyes.

His lips twitched! If I keep pushing, he'll tell me, right? I decided to add the waterworks too! Finally, he sighed.

"You're really pushy about this today, sheesh. Fine, you already know the name, the '6 Demons'. Their leader is someone called Kokushibo, after that, the Deputy leader is Doma… that's all I'm saying, is that fine with you?"

"Yes, thank you~" I showered him with kisses and he smiled at me, so I asked him, "What were you talking about with Latia-chan?"

"Oh, it's nothing, just more about my future business and a few plans for 'what if' scenarios. We can talk about that another time… shouldn't you be training, Nia? Weren't you going to accompany the 'Slash/Girls' as you started calling it?" he asked.

"My terrible naming sense is because of you! Hmph!" I turned away from him and crossed my arms.

"Ahaha… sorry, it's not bad, it's just… I guess in tune with my weird naming sense. I'll take any new names for the '6 Demons' if anyone has any better ones. They won't be made for a while after all," he said while stroking my hair.

"I'll ask the others then, what will you do now?" I asked him.

"Thank you. Well, I'll do my usual, meditate, and check in on everyone once in a while. But if you need anything… just come to me," he said before kissing me on the forehead and leaving.

"Mmm… I guess I'll go find the others too…"

"I'll accompany you, Lavinia-sama," Nabe-chan said beside me.

I think Aaron assigned her to me as my personal maid. I already have Iron-chan in my shadow, my ring with all its protections and my clothes! He's still a worrywart though. I mean… he added a brand-new function to the ring. It basically shows us a [Status page] of our current rank, and our current health as well as any monikers we have.

Saji-kun and Sairaorg-kun, along with the other males here have something similar since Aaron gave them necklaces as presents. He does have the protections on them too, minus the clothing enchantments.

Speaking of which…

"Ah, Nia, you're here, finally!" Natsume said as I arrived at the spot where they were.

The new 'Slash/Girls' that I jokingly called us, consists of Natsume, Shigune, Akeno, Raynare, Inaie, Áine, and Danu. It doesn't have too much meaning apart from this group of women spending a lot of time together, including training.

Of course, we spend an equal amount of time with the rest of Aaron's 'harem', but we do have our own groups as I mentioned. But—

"Gyaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

"There he goes again…" Áine said with a sigh.

In the sky, we could see Saji-kun being hurled away by one of the Stahlritters. I'm pretty sure it's—

"Don't run away, Dragon King!!" The voice of Duvalie echoed throughout the area.

"You hit me! You clearly hit me! I'm not running away, you psychotic midget!"

Boooooom!

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!! I'm sorry, please spare meeeeeeeee!" Saji-kun screamed.

Duvalie-chan has a sharp tongue. The only ones she doesn't use that tone with are Lianne and Aaron. But anyone else… can be subjected to it… hehe, I think it's cute though, she's really a tsundere… like a certain goddess of our group~

Jin Skyward's Soliloquy

"Huu…"

I opened my eyes and breathed a sigh of relief. Another day, another day filled with screams and explosions. However, that's a very common occurrence here now, so we should all be used to it. I could see in the distance that Duvalie and Saji were arguing, and then they started sparring, but it quickly—

Boom!

"Aaaaaah!!"

Another scream from Saji after being smacked by her shield. Even after becoming a Dragon God-class being, Saji is being hurled around by her… however, he has been focusing on sharpening his techniques and his usage of his [Malebolge Vritra Promotion], and his spars with Sairaorg have been quite close and intense. But he can't get the man to use his [Breakdown the Beast]. He only uses it against the Electa or me.

Speaking of Sairaorg… his fiancé, Silveteela Stolas has also become quite strong. She's on the same level of power as Saji. But still below Sairaorg. Both of them are Dragon God-class beings. More specifically, they're both at B, while Sairaorg himself is at S. The difference is quite large, so they're playing catch up.

But…

"Ji—Aaron-sama," a familiar voice called out to me.

I turned to my side to see Kuisha standing there. She—like the rest of Sairaorg's peerage have become quite strong. They all are just a bit behind him in strength, Dragon God-class, D to A. Kuisha is at A, so she's stronger than Silveteela and Saji.

"Ah, Kuisha, how can I help you?"

"May I?" she asked while gesturing towards my lap.

I chuckled and nodded. She smiled and blushed while sitting in the small area between my legs as I was sitting cross-legged. Kuisha still tends to call me Jin, although I don't mind. They can call me either one, but I did ask them to still call me Jin when we're back outside. But some are finding it a bit hard since they've mostly been addressing me as Aaron.

"How's training going?" I asked her as she cuddled into me.

"It's fine, typically I train along with the rest of the peerage. But today we decided to train individually. I'm finished for the day and I'm just checking up on everyone, but I decided to take a break and spotted you so…"

"It's fine," I told her and brought her closer. "I can always help, you know…"

"You're busy with whatever you're doing… jeez, you need to relax every now and again. Getting stronger and meditating is fine, but…"

I know, I know… you're not the first one to tell me that over the last few years, Kuisha. But I just want to be ready for everything that's coming. I'm hoping to stop Euclid and Rizevim during the vampire civil war, but if they're not there then… but at the same time I also need conclusive evidence that they're part of it (Khaos Brigade + Qlippoth). I don't just want to rely on my words alone even if they might believe me.

I suddenly felt someone else tugging on my sleeve, and when I turned to see who it was… it was Ophis. She was in her adult form. Over the last 12-ish years, she's mostly been in that form. Why? I don't really know, but I would blame Irene for that, because she's probably here to…

"Can we watch it?" The Dragon God of Infinity asked.

"…Sure," I replied.

Kuisha stiffened and looked like she wanted to leave. It was a difficult decision for her whether to stay where she was comfortable, or to leave because she didn't want to be a part of what was going on.

I summoned a magic circle in front of us and Ophis joined Kuisha on my lap as she made space for her. At first, almost everyone was intimidated by Ophis and Irene, but as they interacted more with them, they got used to them like everyone else did. So now, 40 years later, it's natural for things like this to happen.

Porn was played in the magic circle. I started showing Ophis porn around 23 years ago. She apparently was goaded on by Irene, and asked to have sex with me. While I didn't mind, I was hesitant, and when I asked why the sudden interest, she said it was due to Irene. When I initially rejected the idea, she tried to… force me, which ended in a stalemate and went nowhere, so we compromised saying she'd need to… learn through videos.

So… we have set some time aside to watch porn together. They ranged from many fetishes, well, I didn't go into certain genres and territories since I didn't want to corrupt her, and also… someone else is meant to join us. It didn't take long for her to notice…

The sounds of wings flapping came closer to us, until she landed behind me.

"Jeez, Aaron, tell me when we're w-watching it…!" the voice of Gabriel said behind me. "Mmm… no space…"

"I-I-I-I'll get going!" Kuisha said.

She had already turned another shade of red and jumped off me before flying away. I guess watching porn was a bit too much for her, even if we'd played around already. While we haven't done anything past me feeling her up and making out (though it's due to her and everyone else trying to catch up in raw power to everyone else), so we haven't done the deed.

Gabriel took her spot and then we watched the porn video together. At first, Gabriel was shocked about this, but also wanted to learn so she, Ophis and I watch it on a semi-regular basis. This also means that these two have been asking the women I've slept with these types of things I prefer. The most troublesome one to give answers is Kuroka.

She tells them I like things that I don't, but I don't mind trying them or doing them… in a way I don't have a preference for the sexual things I do… I mean my philosophy is 'As long as it feels good, and doesn't have anything going up my butt, I'm fine with it.' Is what I usually answer with. I've also told them my stance on, well, clones/avatars and group sex.

Kuroka has asked a few times, but I have always rejected her request. Anyway, Ophis hasn't done anything, but… Gabriel has become a bit more proactive, I guess? The ball of wholesomeness is starting to become more aware of these things, and I feel a bit sad, but at the same time also excited.

She—Gabriel, frequently started coming into the men's bath, or inviting me to the women's bath before the others could do it. She also sits on my lap a lot, so she's been… I guess using her ass to try to get me hard? She doesn't really get or understand how to do it, so she usually just ends up clumsily doing it.

Penemue has pointed it out multiple times, making this angel huff quite a lot. But she's doing her very best, so I'll probably do it with her soon. I just need to take her out on one last date that she asked me about before. The same with Penemue. We've nearly done it multiple times, but as she mentioned before…

I shot myself in the foot with my own stance on relationships and romance. We've even gotten to me putting the tip in, but her then saying something like 'Ah, right, you want to take me on a date first. Therefore, we'll have to put this off', and then walking away with a smirk. It was frustrating, but as I said, I shot myself in the foot and she will not let it slide. She enjoys seeing me suffer because of it.

"…?"

I suddenly felt both of them rubbing their asses on my lap. Gabriel started it, Ophis saw it and then copied her. I swear these two… I stopped them, grabbed Gabriel's chin and kissed her. She was a bit surprised, but kissed me back happily. Ophis stared at us the entire time… unblinking. As I kissed Gabriel her wings popped up and fluttered. This happens from time to time as it's her way of saying 'I'm happy!' or feeling very content.

At the same time, it worries me. What will happen when we do the deed in bed? Will her wings just appear too? I finally stopped our kiss and she was a bit upset. I turned to Ophis and kissed her too. Something similar happened to Ophis. Well, her wings didn't come out, but the entire area started to shake.

"Ophis…" I said into our kiss and the shaking stopped.

"…More," she said after I broke our kiss off.

She is a greedy dragon after all. Sweets, general food, a quiet place to sleep and now… kissing. Ophis has also started looking at pregnancy books and children's books. She has brought up the topic of getting pregnant. I don't think she can get pregnant? The same with Irene, but… as many of them have brought up—it's me so it should be possible.

I don't want to have kids yet until I settle everything in this world, plus ExE, CxP and Tensura. Once all of that is done, then I'll consider starting families with any one of them, but for now… I don't want to endanger any of them. Although I know all of them will probably kill anyone trying to kidnap them or our child.

"Let's finish watching this first, alright?"

She agreed and we watched it until it ended. The porn video was mostly vanilla, so nothing too extreme. Once it was done, both of them turned to me, but—

"Phis!"

"Gabriel!"

We turned our attention back in front of us to see Kunou, Yasaka, Irene, Penemue and Raynare walking towards us. Well, Kunou was running towards us. Ophis turned back to her loli form and the two of them hugged. Kunou then jumped up on my lap as Gabriel left and patted her on the head.

"Hey, Kunou," I greeted her and gave her a hug.

"Watch this…!" she said excitedly.

Her body was suddenly covered in white + golden touki. At the same time, she also entered her [Fox Dragon God Mode] and looked at me quite excitedly. I was pretty surprised. At first Kunou couldn't maintain both of these at the same time since it took a lot of stamina out of her, but now she's doing it so effortlessly.

"Great work, Kunou… you've been hard at work after all," I told her and started petting her head.

"Hmm-hmm! I also have other news… I'm going to be joining the middle school division starting next year! Mother and I spoke to Rias-sama about it." She puffed her chest out proudly.

"Really? Well… I'll be in the college division by then, but that's good. I along with the others will be coming by the Old School Building after school so you'll see us during those times."

She seemed a bit sad after hearing the first part, but was generally happy at the end. Everyone else eventually reached us and we greeted each other.

"Finish watching porn?" Irene asked.

"Yes we have~!" Gabriel answered Irene and hugged her on the side.

Irene became a bit flustered. She's not good with Gabriel, I don't know why… maybe because of her super honest and straightforward nature? But yeah, Irene can't really keep her usual manner around Gabriel and usually complies with whatever whim the Seraph has.

Boom!

Suddenly, a large man with purple and golden lion armor appeared. He was badly beaten and had blood gushing everywhere yet he was still smiling. It was Sairaorg Bael in his [Breakdown the Beast], the [Regulus Rey Leather Rex Imperial Purpure].

"Oh? My apologies for interrupting you all!" He said and got up. "Scathach-dono is quite brutal with her training today, fuahaha!" He laughed and then dashed away leaving a large gust of wind behind him.

Scathach was training them, huh? I'm sure that Yuri Alpha was helping them too. Looking in the direction Sairaorg was heading to, I saw Scathach waiting there. The rest of his peerage seemed to be fighting Yuri Alpha.

'Did their individual training day turn into fighting Yuri Alpha and Scathach? …Now that I look closer, I can see Kuisha there too. So I guess that she joined them then.'

"We have 60 years left, yet they act like we have a week left," said Yasaka as she approached me. "Right, dear?" she asked and hugged me from behind.

"Well, they are devils after all. Anyone with an increased lifespan will see 100 years as a short amount of time. Add to the fact that they're not exactly physically aging and that's probably why they're desperate to get stronger," I replied.

Also, they might think that they might not come back here again, so they're trying to go as far as they can. Hell, reaching their current power levels now is certainly a huge achievement. They'll be one of the strongest in their universe, if I don't include the girls and the previous two dragons that were above them.

"And you? Suzaku-san told us that you're planning something and have been spending an excessive amount of time in your soul at night. Are you even getting enough rest? Have you even 'actually' slept at all since we came in here?" asked Raynare looking at me with both annoyance and concern.

"Knowing this loveable idiot, he probably hasn't~ we can always just ask Cúntóir, Velgrynd, Rudra or the others inside his soul~" replied Penemue.

Raynare nodded in agreement. "We can always ask Velgrynd-san to scold him on our behalf after all."

"I don't always spend time training in there. I just trained last night since I took the previous two nights off just chatting to them," I replied to them.

Yeah, just 10 years ago I told them the other half of my reincarnation—about Rudra, Velgrynd and the world of Tensura. Although not in too much detail since most of them might not even go there…

Flashback

10 Years Earlier

"And that's about it, any questions?" I asked them.

It was nighttime and I had called them to the living room to tell them about my reincarnation and how Rudra and others were involved.

"You know, I'm not even surprised anymore. Knowing you and how you are generally, you being involved in something like that… it's almost par for the course, honestly," chuckled Rias.

She got a few nods of agreement around her. Next, Saji put his hand up, and I nodded at him.

"How strong are they compared to our universe?"

"Hmm… I guess they're generally stronger. They can punch out galaxies and destroy universes. I mean that from the strongest of them, while the ones here… they haven't had feats that could compare, I mean creating a new dimension here isn't really an amazing feat, right?" I asked them.

A few agreed. As far as I recall, Great Red never did anything like that. Instead, he mostly swam around the Dimensional Gap. Ophis was the same way. She mostly gave out snakes and power ups, but then she got nerfed by Samael.

Even Shiva said that the world would be destroyed if he fought Trihexa, so he's just talking about earth and not the universe… I don't think Ichiei Ishibumi wrote them out to be universal destroying monsters. Even the ExE (Evie's) are struggling to win against the (Etoulde) High-Spirit Gods in their own universe…

"The [True] Dragons are probably the strongest in that world. Like Velgrynd here," I gestured beside me, and a hologram of what Velgrynd looked like had her arms crossed and she was looking at everyone, "the others are Veldora, and Velzard."

I debated on whether or not telling them Rimuru since I don't know how far they are in their timeline. So whether or not he has reached that stage yet... also about Milim Nava, but for now I won't.

"And, I guess their former 'creator' is Veldanava. Veldanava is the Star King Dragon, Velzard is the White Ice Dragon, Velgrynd here is the Scorch Dragon and Veldora is the Storm Dragon," I informed them.

If I include [Manas] then… maybe them, but I won't, for the time being. Races in that universe are a bit more complicated. Do I add the ones where there's only one of their 'race/species' or do I just put them in a 'special' category since only one exists? What about digital lifeforms? Well, I can think about that when I get there.

"If I had to draw a comparison, I would look at Irene and Ophis. They usually stand at the top of their universe. Anyway, any more questions?"

"So… what will happen once this Rudra-san vanishes?" Saji asked again.

"I have no idea. I'll see when it happens, like the rest of you," I answered and glanced at Velgrynd who glared at Saji who flinched back.

After that, they had very strange and wild questions that I did my best to try to answer. Velgrynd was the one who answered them as she's a native to that universe. My reading was limited to the Web Novel and most of the Light Novels. So there might be more to the world, like how it's for the Draconic Deus.

Flashback End

The rest of the day was devoted to training and chatting with people. Right now, it was nighttime and I was reading a book in my room. The Church Trio and Raynare were here with me. Raynare gave me a lap pillow as she scrolled through her phone. The Church Trio were chatting about manga, training and how Xenovia and Irina could approach me.

"Aaron."

"Hmm?"

I looked up from the book I was reading, only to be greeted by Raynare's breasts in my vision. I wasn't about to point that out to her, so I waited for her to continue.

"Will you have staff at your first restaurant?" she asked.

"Uh… I'm working on that. I have both the Gremory and Sitri families willing to lend me some staff members until I can hire more in the future. I'm also speaking to Sairaorg, although I don't hold much hope since his parents aren't really… er, sorry, not including Misla, the rest are a bit… inflexible. I do hope it changes in the future."

I doubt it, but yeah, I can hope. I mean Magdaran Bael, Sairaorg's younger half-brother. In the future something will happen that will fix their relationship, so until then I'll just wait and then approach them. Hopefully, I can get Zekram to agree on certain things.

"Then employ me, I… I won't use that forbidden word (secretary) lest it start another war," she said with a tired sigh.

"Heh, yeah. They've still not come to a conclusion after all this time. After many duels and sparring matches, most of them ended in draws. They really are stubborn."

"Why not just intervene?" she asked and then started to stroke my head.

"Intervene? Hmm, well I've thought about it but… I don't know. I'll see for the next few years. If they don't come to a conclusion by themselves before we leave, then I'll just make all of them the forbidden word."

I put my book under my chin and reached up to move her breasts. Once they were out of the way she was glaring at me while her face was red. "Then why don't I make a new role?"

"A new role?" she repeated looking and sounding confused.

"Yeah, be my work wife, Raynare," I said bluntly.

"Wha—"

If her face was already red, it somehow turned even redder, and her eyes started to swirl around. She kept on muttering unfinished 'wha—' and didn't know how to answer. I stopped groping her (kind of) and looked at the Church Trio as they had been listening to our conversation.

"Aaron-san, I think that's—"

Bam!

The door was flung open. The three culprits had arrived (Rossweisse, Kurousagi and Raiko).

"""What new role?!""" all three of them shouted.

"—Not a good idea, I knew they would come…" Asia sighed as she looked at the three older women.

"Ahaha, I want to join in too! I'll be your angel wife!" Irina shouted out as well.

"…I'll be your baby-machine wife!" Added Xenovia.

All of us stopped to look at her. She even started to think about it for a second before putting her hand up. "Ah, no never mind. That doesn't make sense."

I sort of understood what she meant, but was still a bit confused by the way she said it. I sighed and told them about my conversation with Raynare just now, and my proposal of making her my work wife.

I left her lap and moved behind her and hugged her. I put my head on her shoulder and looked at the rest of the older women. They looked at each other. I could see the gears turning in their heads. The thoughts of 'a new title!' or 'new position!' were swirling around their heads, and they were probably thinking of what new role or position they would come up with right now.

"…Just your work wife?" she mumbled a bit disappointedly.

"Well, for now… we can think about the other at another time," I whispered into her ear, making her blush again.

"I'm your secretary so that won't change," Rose said confidently and crossed her arms.

"…I will… I will be the Rabbit Goddess Wife Secretary!" Kurousagi blurted out.

"I'll be your mommy wife!" shouted Raiko.

Everyone turned their attention to Raiko, who had blushed and started to shake her head and started to say 'Not in that kind of way!' which made me question…

'In what kind of way, Raiko…? There are only a few ways I can interpret that,' I thought.

"That's not what I meant!" She shouted again, and ran away in tears.

For some reason, they looked at me as if it were my fault… I sighed, "I'll go get her. Also, it shouldn't matter… all of you will be with me for the foreseeable future, why fight over titles and roles?" I said that before leaving the room.

Raiko had gone into her room. I had sensed her aura in there, so I knocked on the door, but received no answer. So I just made my way in after apologizing in advance. Once I was in her room, I found it to be quite normal, as it had a design similar to traditional Japanese rooms. She also had shelves of books and some stands for her weapons and armor.

"Raiko?" I called out to her again.

She—Raiko was sitting by the Chabudai (small table) and had some tea there ready.

'Did she make this while she was waiting for me to come here? Or was she in the middle of making it before coming to my room with Kuro and Rose?'

"P-please sit down," she said while gesturing at the other end of the table.

I nodded and joined her, and she proceeded to pour both of us some tea. The tea she served was Teakruthi. I'm pretty sure it came from Sri Lanka. I think Sirzechs sent it to us at some point in time through Rias. In his mind (probably), Ireland and England were close enough and the English are known for their love of tea.

I don't blame them; I love drinking tea as much as I love drinking coffee. So I was more than happy to accept it.

"…Please forget what I said," she said quite seriously.

I nodded, crossed my arms and looked at her. "No," I flatly said.

Raiko froze and looked blankly at me, not knowing how to respond to me. Like earlier, the gears in her head were slowly turning, until—

"W-why?" she asked confused.

'I was tempted to say because you'll be a mommy in the future, but I don't think that would be appropriate right now.'

"Didn't you say around 23 years ago that you'd be with me until my job as the middleman ends?" I asked while tilting my head.

"…Yes?" she said still confused.

"Doesn't that also mean you're my work wife as well? Just like my proposal to Raynare?" I asked her and she sat there a bit dumbfounded. I will admit that it was a bit of a stretch, but we've grown closer these past few years, so…

In response, Raiko's eyes widened as I got off my seat, walked over to her, and held both her hands. "Minamoto no Raiko, will you…"

Slam!

"Aaron-sama! …Hmm? Am I interrupting something?" Shaula asked as she looked at me and Raiko.

I sighed and looked back at Raiko who had turned completely red. Hmm, did Suzaku influence me to start grabbing people's hands like this? Well, regardless of whether she did or not…

"Is something wrong, Shaula?" I asked.

"Old man Antares and the rest started the construction of another base of operations in the Dimensional Gap. They've found an appropriate area they think is suitable for our base," she exclaimed enthusiastically.

"Ho? That sounds like good news. I'll speak with him as soon as possible. Thank you for telling me." I got up and dragged Raiko up with me.

'The rest' is just Bellion and a few shadows that I sent back out there and they joined them in the Dimensional Gap. I also have Celestin and Edel overseeing it with Antares and Querehsha. Therefore, it should run smoothly. I also plan on making that place as large as possible, and having a bunch of facilities there.

I kind of see that it's like I'm making my own faction… it's not my goal, but if others see it that way, then so be it. But I plan on taking Trihexa there to kill and make a shadow soldier out of it. I feel like it would be a waste to just outright kill it. Hopefully once it becomes a shadow it'll obey my commands. Perhaps even construct a future Rating Game stadium there so the International Rating Games can be held there.

'I'm thinking way too far into the future, let's get our time here done first…'

"Aaron-sama?" Shaula asked.

"No, it's nothing… let's go, Raiko." I pulled her along with me. She didn't resist that much.

Year 45 – Month 12

"W-we'll make sure to use condoms from now on… or… um… Aaron-senpai, d-do you have some kind of… pills or something like that…?" Saji asked me nervously.

These two—Saji and Ruruko recently had a pregnancy scare, and they got the scolding of a lifetime from Sona. However, she was conflicted. She was happy that these two—these two devils managed to get Ruruko nearly pregnant, but at the same time they were still in high school and were mortified. But it was a false-positive, so now they're both consulting me.

"You two… please use protection, but it's a good idea to come to Aaron about this problem," Latia said beside me. She turned to me and asked, "Well? Are you going to help your juniors?"

"The scare did its job, so yes, I will. Just make sure to be careful, and don't hesitate to ask me for more of these pills, alright?" I told them and they quickly nodded.

Saji and Ruruko both received a bottle of pills. "These contain around 1000 each. They work the same. Only one of you needs to take them before doing the deed, alright? Just make sure to check who took it otherwise you'll be wasting it. Ah, right, if both of you take it… nothing really happens, except for wasting the pills, so just—"

"W-we understand…! Um, this may be out of line, but what about… S-Sairaorg-san and Silveteela-san?" Saji asked again.

"Hmm? Ah, they asked me about this years ago, around our 25th year here. They also had a scare, but they were usually responsible, but ran out of condoms eventually. So they consulted me."

"As expected of the Bael heir… he's on another level…!" Saji muttered to himself.

No, you're both just hormonal teenagers. I won't blame you for forgetting about protection from time to time.

"A-anyway, thank you senpai!"

"T-thank you!"

After thanking me, they left. I created a new room for myself in my home here. I plan on doing the same back in my real home in Kuoh. We were in this office as they asked for this. Apart from training and meditating, I'm usually in here with Rose, Kuro, Raiko, Latia or Raynare.

They made a weird system around 3 years ago. Where they would take turns acting as my 'secretary' and would support me during their time. I didn't mind how they did it, so it worked for me. Today was Latia's turn again, although she wasn't really part of the 'secretary' thing since I just consulted her about everything and anything. Well I also do the same thing with Grayfia and Ravel.

With Sharon and the other maids being here, Grayfia has more free time for herself. However, they change who accompanies me while I'm in my office. Today, it was just me and Latia though since they were all busy.

"By the way, Latia, is your training progressing well?" I asked as I looked at certain documents on the table.

"Yes, it is," she replied and showed me her [Status page] on her ring.

Latia was Universal – SSS, when she first arrived here, she was Universal – C, so after 45 years of training… she reached SSS, huh? It makes me wonder how far everyone else has made it? Although Latia tends to try to master her powers, abilities and other things and not just focus on powering up. We still have a lot of time left, so I'm not too worried.

But it's still impressive. Even with the x2 EXP/Growth function turned on, it still takes a lot of effort and killing to grow stronger. I'll ask them around the 90-year mark to see their progress. I wanna surprise myself.

"Well… good work, come here…" I said to her and patted my lap.

She blushed but came over and sat on my lap. We looked at each other before sharing a kiss. It didn't take long for our kiss to get heated, as our tongues licked and overlapped each other. As we were getting more and more into it, the door to my office opened again.

This time, Rias and Grayfia came in. They stared at Latia who was already red from being caught in our position.

Rias sighed and said, "I was expecting something, but I wasn't expecting to see you two just making out like this. Anyway, we're here because Onii-sama contacted me. He said it was something about a meeting you're going to hold soon."

Grayfia walked over to us. Latia tried to leave, but I kept her from leaving. She gave me a threatening look, but I just gave her a peck on the lips and took the document from Grayfia and looked over it.

"They would like to hold the meeting in the Underworld. While many of the current allies of DxD have done many cultural exchanges, most have not ventured out of their own pantheons—especially the gods and goddesses. Sirzechs-sama believes it would be a worthwhile experience for them. The last meeting you had… only a few of the gods came here, and the rest attended through magic circles," explained Grayfia.

"Hmm-hmm."

I looked over the document she gave me and… honestly it wasn't that serious, it was just a few bullet points by Sirzechs, Azazel and Michael (Layla and Altaria also added their own opinions on it).

To make it short, the leaders of the faction or pantheon will come. They can bring one or two bodyguards, but they added in parentheses (Jin will be there, so don't worry too much! Teehee -Azazel). The meeting will be in the hall where the Four Great Satans hold their meetings, and it will be held in a few days.

'He's not sure since I did say I'd hold it in a few days. Well, can't blame him too much... let's see... I'll head to America first with Lisa and Nia. We can speak with Mephisto Pheles and I can make an alliance with Grauzauberer. After that, I'll hold the meeting and invite him as well.'

"…I'm planning to travel to the USA after we leave and take Lisa and Lavinia with me. Even if they are already allied with Grigori, I would like to form a personal alliance with Grauzauberer and Mephisto Pheles. Having them both would be beneficial to my alliance. After that… let's say in a day or two, we'll have the meeting. Can you tell him that, Grayfia, Rias?"

I summoned a pen and wrote that all down on the same page and handed it back to her.

"Very well, I shall send this back to Sirzechs-sama," said Grayfia, bowing and leaving.

I noticed that both Latia and Rias were staring at each other. A strange tension was in the air—

""Did you do it?""

""No.""

Their voices were strangely in unison when they said those two sentences. Afterwards they said nothing for around a minute before Rias came over to us, gave me a peck on the cheek and left. 'What the hell was that about?' I thought and then looked at Latia.

"…A few years ago, we—it's childish but… Rias asked if I had… ahem… done it with you yet. I said no, and I asked her the same thing. So we have been checking in with each other every now and again about it. In a way, it turned into a competition for us," she explained.

I shook my head and flicked her forehead lightly. She covered it and then glared at me.

"And I thought I could be childish. It's comforting to know that part of you is still there, Latia," I said and then laughed at her. She just blushed and pinched my cheeks.

Year 62 – Month 4

There's been one thing that I've been keeping a secret from everyone. I've been training and mastering my Ultra Instinct form the entire time since we came here. I entered it after our first night here and never undone the transformation. I even have it on while I'm in my soul. Since the ones in my soul didn't know how to effectively master it, I decided on this training method.

I would constantly keep it on and just live life with it on. It was difficult at first. I would accidentally dodge or counter someone when we were just doing normal things. For example, I can't count how many times I've dodged Akeno's or Lavinia's hugs… only for them to fall to the ground and glare at me.

It happened way too many times, but since I've gained better mastery of it since then, I can just catch them normally. I just altered reality to make it appear as if I had my usual appearance, so they don't suspect anything. I do plan on telling them soon… another thing, I gave Sairaorg access to Ultra Ego… sort of.

He has been training it, but... Since he doesn't have the [Power of Destruction] nor did he want access to [Destruction Energy], I just gave him something similar to Ultra Ego. Therefore, he's been training that version. He also started to incorporate it into his touki and Sacred Gear.

But that's not why I'm here today… Gasper—my junior, has gotten himself into a small dilemma.

Tomoe Meguri, Sona's [Knight] has been… very romantically involved with Gasper, however… Coriana Andrealphus, his first girlfriend and Sairaorg's [Bishop] has been well, in the dark about it. The truth finally came out today and some drama has happened.

All three of them are in my office. I have Grayfia and Rose with me today. Ravel had also tagged along. Gasper has expressed that he loves both of them. I know Coriana Andrealphus isn't against a harem since she's mentioned it to me and Sairaorg in the past. However, she's just hurt that Gasper kept it a secret from her, so in a way… he cheated on her.

I wanted to invite Sairaorg and Silveteela here, but he left this matter up to me. He does not want to appear biased towards his own peerage members, and the same holds true for Sona. Since I'm not a member of any peerage, and I'm friends with all of them, they saw me as someone who wouldn't be biased.

They failed to remember that I'm part of the Occult Research Club and me and Gasper are quite close because of that.

"Coriana, didn't you say you didn't mind if Gasper had a harem?" I asked her.

"Yes… but… I wish he told me about it as soon as it started instead of doing it behind my back like this…" she said in a hurt tone.

Gasper looked awful as he stared at Coriana with guilt. Tomoe loved Gasper too, so she felt remorseful, but wanted to be with him as well. I sighed—

"Alright, since this is all out why don't you try it out?" I told them.

"""Huh?""" they said in unison.

"I mean, we're part of the supernatural. Harems and Polyamorous relationships are normal—now all three of you know about it, so… just give it a try and try to reconcile. I mean, this is a great opportunity for you three to learn and grow from. I mean, not all my relationships started out great (Kuroka, Rias). So go for it."

I won't tell them about my numerous arguments with the girl's about mundane stuff. However, they avoided me for a few hours or even a few days because of it. Especially here. But I usually am the one to approach them and reconcile, so…

All three of them looked at each other—

"I-I… guess I can give it a try…" muttered Coriana.

"I-I'm also sorry, Coriana-san! I… I just loved Gasper so much that I couldn't hold it in anymore! I was also jealous of seeing you two so happy… I know I should have done this in a more tactful way so…" Tomoe shifted into a dogeza posture— "I'm sorry!"

"Me… too," said Gasper and joined Tomoe.

"…Jeez, now you're making me feel bad… but Gasper, please be more honest with me in the future. If you want more women in your—now harem, please tell me and not hide it from me," she said and made the two of them stand up. "You too, Tomoe-san. Please don't hide things from me going forward," she said firmly.

Tomoe quickly agreed and Gasper seemed relieved. Maybe it's due to her being older and more level-headed? I don't know, but it seems to have been resolved a bit faster than I initially thought.

"Well, that settles that!" I said to them.

They turned to me, thanked me, and then left. I feel like I'm a councilor at times. I've consulted both Saji and Ruruko multiple times. The same with Sairaorg and Silveteela about their marriage and other things.

"Aaahhh… why can't I have someone I can consult with…?" I complained and hugged Grayfia's waist.

I heard Grayfia giggle above me, a rare instance indeed. "I was a bit worried at the way you've been acting the last few years, Aaron… but it's reassuring to know that this side of you is still present," she said and started to stroke my head.

"I'm not forcing it, I am trying to change even more, but… it's exhausting. Maybe it's because I didn't grow up enough in my previous life? Ah… whatever, I'll think about it another time," I said and sighed again.

"Aaron-sama, if you want, you can share more of that burden with me," Ravel said in an encouraging manner.

"Aah… I would appreciate that, Ravel, thank you." I patted the young girl on the head and she blushed. Even though she hasn't voiced it out, she also wanted to be part of the 'secretary' group that Rose, Raiko and Kuro were in... but she hasn't, and I sometimes wonder why.

I finally stopped and leaned back in my chair. I looked at Rose and she's been looking at her phone for a while now. She had a complicated expression stretched across her face; she would also sometimes squint her eyes at her phone. I think I know what it's about, but since I've already met Göndul twice… I don't know why she's worried. Oh, and she's already dating me too…

"Is something wrong, Rose?"

"Aaahh… ah?! Ah, oh, no…" she said and hurriedly put her phone away looking mortified and uncomfortable.

Year 84 – Month 3

What the hell…? How did I get into this situation? I was just minding my own business (and alone on the men's side of the open bath) when Gabriel suddenly appeared in front of me and teleported me to the women's side.

Is this some kind of goddess bath time or something? Currently, at the women's side was the Slash/Dog girls (Lavinia, Shigune, Natsume, Kanami) + Suzaku + Áine, Danu, Artemis, Athena, Hestia, Gabriel, Cana and Hephaestus.

"G-Gabriel, why did you bring Aaron over here…?!" Artemis asked the Seraph while glaring daggers at me as she blushed.

"Hmm? Because I wanted to…? We all love Aaron, don't we? I don't see a problem…" she said while tilting her head in confusion.

To this, Artemis blushed even harder.

"W-w-what are you talking about?! Wh-who would love this fool…?!" she sputtered out.

"Ara? Are you feeling self-conscious, Arte?" asked Athena.

Artemis didn't answer anymore otherwise she would keep on digging her own grave, but Athena didn't stop her relentless teasing. I sighed and sat down. No point in complaining or questioning this situation. I'll just roll with it as I always do.

"As expected of Aaron, getting comfortable very quickly!" Kanami said and jumped towards me.

She landed next to me and cuddled up to me. Natsume… was not happy so she followed suit. Of course, more did so and… the girls just dogpiled me. I was suffocating (not really) in breast heaven—well, mostly flesh.

"Uwaa… look at him being so happy in his situation—wait, what Hep?" I felt another hand join my side as Hestia's voice sounded shocked.

I managed to see that it was Hephaestus. She had a look of jealousy on her face, and she was puffing her cheeks. 'My, how cute… to think a goddess would act like this…'

"Pfft—that's not the only area on Aaron that's happy~" Áine said trying to stop herself from laughing.

I managed to stop the girls from blocking my vision and yes, I was erect... I mean you'd have to be crazy not to get an erection if a bunch of beautiful women just started hugging you or trying to get your attention.

I noticed the majority of them (except Danu and a few others) had come to my side. She looked very bashful and way too embarrassed to join us. But—Áine had a dangerous glint in her eyes. She slowly got behind Danu and pushed her towards me. I am led to believe she coordinated this with Kanami as she took the towel off my waist.

I caught Danu at the same time and our lower parts touched.

"…"

Danu… turned beet red. It looked like she was about to pass out at how red she was getting. Then she started to mutter and stutter out words and—I caught her as she finally fainted. My, I didn't think such an old goddess like her would be weak to this kind of thing.

"Careful now, Aaron, you might accidentally stick it in Danu~" Athena teased making Artemis look at her in disbelief.

"W-w-w-what kind of language is coming out of your mouth?!"

"Huh? I didn't say anything foul or lewd though?" Athena asked back.

"You implied it!" snapped back Artemis.

Athena just shrugged and took her towel off before running my way. Artemis just sat there dumbfounded at the situation.

"Natsu! What are his fetishes again?" Kanami asked her younger sister.

"H-huh?! H-how would I know?!" Natsume screamed back at her.

Kanami looked at her little sister like she had three heads and said, "Because you two regularly have sex? Yesterday I saw you sucking his dick… Natsume why are you still embarrassed about this?"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!" Natsume screamed out in embarrassment.

Fwosh!

Natsume quickly fired a [Spirit Storm] at Kanami who dodged it and I canceled the attack before it destroyed anything else.

"Uwaaaaaaaaa?!" Kanami screamed.

"Don't worry Natsu! I saw you too! You really liked sucking—blegh?!" Sylph came out and said that but was smacked away by Natsume too.

Poor Sylph landed in the water looking like a defeated Yamcha. Lavinia then grabbed Suzaku surprising her, and forced both of them to face Natsume.

"Don't worry, Natsu! Suzaku and I like getting facials~!" She happily announced making all the jaws drop around her.

Suzaku's face turned completely red as she was dragged into this chaotic mess. She didn't say anything but just sank down into the water. Shigune was also floating in the water unconscious due to all the lewd things she had heard. Poh was sitting on her back looking very happy at all of us. Natsu—to this, turned even brighter red.

"Ara, ara~? I didn't think I'd be finding out a lot of Aaron's sexual adventures~" Athena said while putting a hand on her cheek as she blushed.

Gabriel… she was blushing as well, but wasn't able to keep up with all the terms that were being thrown around. "Facial? …I think I saw that on one of the videos Aaron, Ophis and I saw… it's getting the white stuff on your face, right? Nia… you like that? Is it tasty?" she genuinely asked.

"In Aaron's case, yes. Last time it tasted like strawberries. You can ask him to change it to any flavor you want~!" She told the Seraph happily.

This time I was the one blushing… it was a very long session that Lavinia started asking me to change the flavor of my sperm… I-I did not know how to feel at the time, and now she's just telling them all…

"Oh? I didn't know you had that ability, Toole, but now that I think about it, you definitely can do that—no, you can easily do it…" Áine muttered and looked at my crotch.

"How about we test it then~?" Lavinia clapped her hands and happily asked them.

Everyone who was still conscious looked at her, and then at my crotch. 'T-that's a bit much,' I thought and backed away a bit.

They all started to walk towards me, but then—a savior came to my rescue! Suzaku stood in front of me and spread her arms out in a protective manner!

"W-we should stop there. If you're not careful, Aaron will just create a barrier and have sex with all of you for an unknown amount of time," she said to them, in a way, warning them.

...…Wait, is she protecting them, not me?! H-hold up! I'm not that bad! W-what the hell, Suzaku?! You're making me sound like a beast! …T-they're backing away from me! N-no what the fu—no, stop. Breathe, Aaron, breathe…

"Akeno, Lavinia and I have experience with it," she said and blushed even more.

Suzaku don't tell them! What is happening right now?!

Cúntóir: Answer: May I join, dear?

Don't you start either! I gave up and transported everyone back to their spots. The ones who were passed out, I teleported them outside of the open bath since I didn't want them to drown or just keep floating there. I also teleported back to my spot and sat down; my towel still gone—

"Aaaaahhh~" Suzaku let out an erotic-filled moan surprising me and everyone else.

As I was still erect, I was able to slide in quite easily since I had accidentally sat back down on her spot.

"Wait, no that was an accident!" I quickly pulled myself out of her, making her moan again.

"Damn, I didn't think Aaron was this proactive…" Hestia mumbled mortified at what she had just witnessed and heard.

"Perverts… all of you… you're all perverts…!" muttered Artemis. "W-why would you try to procreate here of all places?!" She asked all of us.

"It was an accident," I replied calmly.

However, as I got up, Hestia, Áine and Athena gained mischievous looks. They all looked at each other before Athena stepped behind Artemis and put her hands on her shoulders.

"W-what are you doing?" she asked a bit surprised.

"Oh nothing~" replied Athena.

Áine and Hestia then came over to me and started to guide me towards Artemis as her eyes widened in horror.

"Stop! W-what are you doing—Athena let me go! S-stop?!" Artemis began to struggle and I was just confused by it all.

I finally spotted Cana who… who was crouched in a corner and shaking. I could see from the corners of her cheeks that she was blushing. 'Is… is she weak to this kind of thing? Lewd talk and anything sexual related? She is shaking a lot and covering her ears.'

Áine noticing my gaze followed it and grinned even wider. She strolled over to Cana and—

"You're coming with me~" she said to the woman and dragged her beside Artemis.

"W-w-w-w-w-w-w-wait, n-n-n-no, I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I c-c-c-can't?!" Cana stammered out as she tried to cover her face, but kept taking peeks at me.

Wow! She really had a terrible stutter there, is she really that freaked out—ah… I finally arrived in front of them. Both women were forced to look at my erection, Athena forcing Artemis as she still tried to struggle. I doubt they'd do anything but—

"…Ooooh?!" I let out a weird moan as—Cana had been pushed forward by Artemis by accident because of her struggling. She had gobbled up my member in her mouth out of nowhere! I was utterly shocked by this.

'Wha—what the hell?!' I jerked back at the sudden sensation and my member plopped out of her mouth. Cana looked at me… confusion and disbelief in her eyes. I looked at Áine and she seemed equally confused by what had just happened.

"Okay… I'm done…" I said to them and teleported away and put some clothes on.

In the distance, I heard Áine scream that I ran away. I will admit that I ran away. The situation was going to keep on escalating and I didn't want to be part of it, otherwise… I would have lost control of myself.

Year 90 – Month 6

In a faraway corner of the [Pocket Dimension], I was practicing something with Lavinia, and a curious pair of Nekomata's had wandered over and started watching us.

I had entered my [Diabolos Dragon Outer God] form with [Divine Dividing]. Since I'm no [Morning Star], I can't use the same chant as Vali's Diabolos Dragon Lucifer. Therefore, I had to heavily modify this chant and use my outer god powers to substitute Vali's 'Satan' powers.

If my regular [Diabolos Dragon God] in my [Boosted Gear] is called Dragon Deification, then I should dub the [Divine Dividing]'s one… Outer Deification or something along those lines? 'Dragonification' and 'Outerification', that sounds kind of right…

"Aaron, how is it?" Lavinia asked as she twirled around her silvery-white armor.

Lavinia and I had to synchronize our auras and she combined with the [Dividing Wyvern Fairy] of [Divine Dividing] and she was in her own version of my [Divine Dividing]'s Scale Mail. In that form she can use [Divine], [Reflect] and [Half Dimension]. She had tried them all earlier. The only one she couldn't use was [Venom].

"Do you have a name for this, Aaron?" Kuroka asked me. Shirone nodded along with her sister.

Lavinia also looked at me curiously as she retracted the helmet away from her head.

'A name, huh? I guess I'll have to try a bit harder at naming this…' I thought and stood there for a little while.

"…How about… [Argentate Demise Dragonar]? Or also known as [Silvery Demise Queen of Supremacy]? Sounds a bit cheesy, haha…" I told them.

Clank!

"I love it~!" Lavinia ran over and hugged me.

Our armors clanked together and she tried to rub her head against my chest but was met with hard armor making her frown.

"Be careful… anyway, apart from my own chant, you quickly entered your own armor set with this, so…"

"Aaron-nya~ how about us?" Kuroka asked and pointed at herself and Shirone.

"Hmm? Well, we can work on it with the both of you, and you can tell me which one you would like to use, or both could work, though I haven't tried it so far. Nia, Suzaku, Rias and Akeno have mostly used [Divine Dividing] (Lavinia and Akeno) and the [Boosted Gear] (Rias and Suzaku)."

"[Byoosted Gyear] nya!" Kuroka replied enthusiastically.

"…Me too."

Looks like it's [Boosted Gear] for both of them then. 'Hmm? Wait a minute… how would it work if I used my Dual Balance Breaker? No, I would need something completely new that's a combination of my [Queen] + [Diabolos Dragon God] forms. I'll think about it…

For now, I exited my [Divine Dividing] and in turn Nia left her Scale Mail. I entered my [Boosted Gears] [Queen] and synched with Kuroka first, and she quickly entered her version of the [Boosted Gears] Scale Mail.

Kuroka in this can use [Boost], [Transfer] and [Penetrate]. The same for anyone else that I decide to use this with. Although a few of them (including Nia) had started to show signs of something 'unique' happening to their own version of the armor.

"I'll call this [Nyanana Nyanyanya Nyragonya]!" She announced proudly and puffed her chest out.

I along with everyone else was just left speechless by what she said. We weren't sure if she was being serious or if she was joking. However, she looked at us as if we were stupid.

"I'm being serious nya~"

"Nee-sama, you're stupid," Shirone flatly said to her.

Kuroka fell to her knees in despair while screaming a bunch of 'nyas' and trying to hug Shirone. However, she just kept pushing her older sister's attempt at showing her affection. Finally, they looked at me.

"I think it's fine," I replied.

""Aaron…"" both Nia and Shirone muttered at the same time.

Yes, yes, I am indulging Kuroka, but I think it's really fine—

Bam!

"Mate with me now!!" She demanded, stunning us all.

She had tackled me, straddled me and was now in the process of stripping everything off of herself.

"…Nee-sama entered her heat because of what you said! Repent!" Shirone shouted and then entered her [Shirone Mode] and chopped Kuroka on the neck.

Kuroka then fell to the ground as she had been knocked out. Shirone left her mode and sighed. I… I was utterly confused as to what had just happened.

[Should we call that Kuroka's [Instant Horny Drive]?]

{What the hell is wrong with you?}

Once everything calmed down, we set Kuroka to the side and let her rest. This time, Shirone and I synchronized and she entered her [Dividing Wyvern Fairy] [Boosted Gear] Scale Mail. Like Kuroka's it covered most of her body, save for her belly button and it even covered her cat tail, well some of it.

"What would happen if you applied your [Shirone Mode] to it?" I asked.

Shirone smiled and said, "How about something new?"

Nia and I looked at one another and became curious. First, she retracted the helmet then Shirone's body was enveloped in a mix of Demonic, Touki and Draconic auras. The area around us started to shake, and I found it a bit amusing since Kuroka's breasts were jiggling around while this happened.

"No perversion~" Nia turned my head to focus on Shirone and I smiled wryly.

Her new(?) transformation or [Mode] was now done. She became even taller than her usual [Shirone Mode], grew small horns on her head, her skin appeared to have some scales on it, and her tail. Everything else remained the same, but the pupils of her eyes also became slits.

"Shirone is this…?"

"I approached Cúntóir about this when she was out back around 20 years ago. She gave me more 'draconic' essence and I've been training to use this. It's just my [Shirone Mode] + your energy and touki, Aaron," she explained.

"So, that's why you look a bit dragon-like," said Nia and she walked over to Shirone.

She started to poke and touch her all over. Shirone let her.

"You're still soft and fluffy in some areas, but the rest is quite… rigid and rough…" Nia muttered and Shirone nodded along.

"But it gives a huge boost in power, so I think it's worth it, though I probably won't get a chance to use it unless I fight really strong guys." She seemed a bit disappointed by it, but she also knew she could just ask any one of us to spar and she could use it then.

"Does Kuroka have something similar?" I asked.

"I think Nee-sama does, though she's very secretive about it," she said and looked over at the sleeping Kuroka. "Aaron, are you planning to do this with everyone? The [Dividing Wyvern Fairy] I mean," she asked.

"I'm not entirely sure, but… I've already told everyone about it, and they're thinking it over. I'm pretty sure you were sleeping at the time, but I instructed Kuroka to tell you, didn't she do it?"

Shirone shook her head… jeez, I guess Kuroka just forgot. That was years ago as well. After that, I practiced this technique with Shirone since she was the only one so far who hadn't known and wanted to use it.

Year 99 – Month 12

"It's been a long time, huh?"

"Yes…"

It was currently nighttime. Tomorrow will be the 'new year' and year 100 will be upon us. Everyone was celebrating inside while I was out here with the Sitri sisters, Tsubaki and Lavinia. I wanted to watch the last 'sunrise' here before we headed back. Obviously, it won't be the last time we come here, but… it just feels strange to me.

"We'd all be so all now if this placed aged us up~!" Nia said beside me.

"Yes, yes, we would. But I'm glad we didn't. Thank you for this opportunity, J—Aaron."

I laughed, and started to pet Sona on the head. She didn't try to swat my hand away, so I think I've earned quite a bit of her affection. Although it did start after my double date with Sera and Sona.

"Jeeeez, spoil me too!" Serafall complained from my lap.

"I already am. I'm pretty sure I've been spoiling you more and more lately. Didn't I dress up in that butler cosplay you gave me?"

"This and that are two completely different things!" She snapped back and huffed.

"Haha, sure… anyway, let's get ready, we'll be going back to the outside world soon." I got up and so did they. Everyone else walked back immediately while Nia and I—hmm?

"Tsubaki? What can I do for you?" I asked the [Queen] of the Sitri group.

"Please take me with you when you go to Grigori to see both Seizu and Tesyula," she said while looking at me seriously.

"…Sure thing. I plan on heading back there to double-check on the defenses and get a report from my Electa," I replied.

She smiled and bowed before turning around to leave. Tsubaki isn't one to smile a lot, so seeing her like this is refreshing. I've only seen her smiling around me, Sona and Kiba while in here. I don't know what her deal is with Kiba, but they have been getting along a lot lately, so I have high hopes of them getting together.

"…She likes you; you know?" Nia said while squeezing my arm.

"Wait, what? I thought she and Kiba—"

"You never learn, do you, Aaron? Tsubaki-chan has been talking to Kiba-kun because you two are quite close friends. She asked him for advice, along with Gasper-kun and Sairaorg-kun. She's been trying to be as discreet as she can," she told me.

"Seriously? She hasn't exactly acted any differently than how she usually acts…" I muttered.

"She smiles a lot more," she pointed out.

"But she does that with Sona and her peerage?"

"Did she do it when you two first met or when you two were getting to know each other?"

"W-well…" I grumbled; she had a point…

"Anyway, let's go~! We're going to California soon, right~?"

"Yeah…"

Japan, Kuoh

I nodded my head in satisfaction. Only a few of them reached Omniversal, but they all ranged from Universal and up. Lavinia and Suzaku really surprised me. They really pushed for it in the last 20 years. The two dragons (Ophis and Irene) already had an advantage so they were the ones who reached Omniversal the quickest, but also found it even harder to move up in power from there.

"Alright, great work everyone. You can head out now," I told them.

Quite a lot of them came over and thanked me for this, and everyone slowly left. Only a few of the guests remained. I walked over to Áine and sealed her powers back up. Once I did that, she kind of deflated.

"Ah… I forgot about that… dammit I'm back to being powerless again…" she grumbled and didn't look happy.

"Don't worry about it, you'll have your powers back soon enough," I said and patted her on the head.

Smack~

"Don't do that to me, I'm older than you…" she glared at me but sported a small blush. She then headed over to Cana and Danu and they left. She—Áine didn't even let Danu get a word in with me, but she did look like she wanted to say something.

"J—Aaron, thank you for allowing us to be there," said Athena as she and Artemis came over to me.

"Don't worry about it. I'll do another one sooner or later, and hopefully bring more people with me."

Both of them nodded. As I turned away, Athena grabbed my arm and pulled me towards her. She planted a kiss on my cheek before teleporting away. Artemis looked horrified at what she had done.

"Uwaa… look at you getting another goddess's affection, Toole," said Hestia as she nudged me on the side.

Hestia grew from being 4'7" to 5'8", a major jump in height. I doubt she'll be called a 'loli' anymore. I mean it's nothing big, well… her breasts got a bit bigger, but that's besides the point. But apart from that, she's also become a competent fighter. I mean everyone did, even the ones who weren't battle-oriented.

"Don't worry former loli goddess." I also patted her on the head. All she did was huff but said nothing else.

"We'll get going then, Aaron and thank you," Hephaestus said behind Hestia.

I nodded, kissed her and they left. All that was left was the Sitri and Bael peerage. I could see from the corner of my eye that Gasper was being spoiled by both Coriana and Tomoe. Those 3 have gotten on very well after that small incident. Gasper officially has his little harem… Saji is jealous of this.

Although Saji and Ruruko have grown closer, he still wants a harem. He has… given up on Sona and said he'll stretch his wings in the rest of the supernatural world, so I wish him luck. The only ones who didn't have much change in their relationship are Sairaorg's peerage (males) and Kiba, who keeps on weirdly teasing me. He even turned into Yumi a few times over the 100 years and even bathed with me… that… that was weird.

"Aaron-sama."

I turned to see Risette and Yuri Alpha there along with the rest of the Pleiades.

"Hmm?"

"Shall we proceed with the plans? The Nocturnes have already made their way to the Dimensional Gap to help with the rest of the construction of the base there," said Risette.

"Yeah, go ahead and start the reconstruction of my home. I'll have everyone leave for the time being."

She nodded and left with the rest of the Pleiades. Since my shit naming sense of the '6 Demons' wasn't good enough, Shigune suggested 'Nocturnes' and I liked it enough to call them that. Essentially, they're just the Upper Demons of the Twelve Kizuki from Demon Slayer. I assigned Kokushibo as their leader and Doma (with a slightly modified personality) as the Deputy Leader.

They, along with the Pleiades are of the same rank, but are lower than the Electa. I tapped my head and sent a message to everyone. I said that they'd need to vacate the house for a few hours so the Pleiades can do the construction with Lianne and her Stahlritter helping them.

I felt someone trying to contact me through a communication circle, so I stepped outside and answered it.

[Father.]

[Ignia? It's been a while; do you have some news for me?]

[Yeah, so—]

He told me some interesting things. The Khaos Brigade had been in contact with the Mechanical gods of Evie Etoulde, and as well as Crepuscule Phantasma and that they've already started sending in members that are around [True] Satan-class and up over here. They're mostly foot soldiers and some up-in-coming big shots, but not the heavy hitters.

From what he told me, they wanted to see how strong the general populace of this world are and are also planning on joining the attacks of other locations soon... so the vampire civil war and... maybe Kuoh? Nilrem does attack here, including Grendel an Evil Dragon and Euclid Lucifuge…

'They might try to use Lapis to break through the barrier here…' I looked at the ground and sighed.

[So, what's your plan, father?]

[I already made more subordinates, and shadows while I was away. So I should be fine. How about the Hexennacht, Wizards of Oz, Seekers of Truth, Monkai Association, Hanezu Himejima and Alliance of Hell?]

[…That's the thing. With the exception of sending some members to help with these future operations, they are mostly silent. Well, Hexennacht and the Wizards of Oz are gearing up for something. This is just my guess… but expect something to happen during Halloween from one or both of them. I think they traveled to the other universes, Evie Etoulde and Crepuscule Phantasma.]

[Maybe to form alliances, or just to find ways to get stronger… I also think Khaos Brigade and Crepuscule Phantasma will try to awaken Magnum Tenebrosum. If they do… then you'll have another Outer God to deal with, not including mother.]

"…"

That's not good. If they awaken Magnum Tenebrosum… I don't know what he'll do then. I sighed; I just hope I find Avezza quickly then.

[I see, anything else?]

[There is more but… Lapis didn't tell me, she said she would in a couple of days or weeks. But she said it would be interesting, whatever that means. But one last thing, you won't be fighting the 'real' bodies. You saw that Nagendra guy, right? It's something like that. The smart ones made it. It's like a touchable hologram. You'll understand once you see it, but it's not a clone. Anyway, I have to run, see ya.]

After the communication circle disappeared, I stood there looking at the sky with concern. 'Not fighting the real ones, huh?' I think I get what he meant, so I'll just see when it comes. I'll test it out on Euclid because I think he'll use it… if not then I can just capture him now before he sets out to attack Auros Academy.

"Ara? If it isn't Jin-kun~ Lavinia called me saying we'll be traveling to Grauzauberer?" The voice of Lisa said in front of me.

I looked back down and saw Lisa in her teacher attire. However, I thought she could just change back into her usual outfit, and she did after snapping her fingers. Just then, Lavinia came out of the door behind me and hugged me from behind.

"What's everyone else doing?" I asked Nia.

"Gremory went to school field to train more, Sona-chan and her group went back home, the same with Sairaorg-kun, everyone else is going to other places in Kuoh. So just a girl's day out~"

"I see, that's fine, let's go then. Sorry for asking you to come here, Lisa."

"No, no, it's fine~ can I count this as our date, Jin~?" she asked.

I shrugged, "If you want it to be, then why not? If not, we can save it for another time."

She smirked and came over to my other side and hugged my arm. "Then let's go~"

Nia went to my other, "Let's go~!"

And so… we left for the land of the free, good ol' USA—California to be more specific…
