Chapter 110 - One step at a time

The fight between the two women reaches its climax as Justine uses [ Shundo ] multiple types in rapid succession causing Alex to have a hard time to keep track of where she would land a hit. She then sensed danger behind her and quickly deflected something causing her eyes to open wide realizing that it was only the weapon that she deflected.

'Where is she!?'

She thought then her instinct told her exactly where she was and duck down as Justine struck her remaining weapon upward but failed and was struck in the chin as Alex flipped and kicked her before landing on her feet watching Justine struggle to stand as her brain was hit by a strong blunt force then several shadow blades surround her neck. 

"Guess I'm the winner for this round."

Alex smirked much to Justine's annoyances as her opponent dispersed the dark blade around her neck. 

"Yeah, I know the deal. Just make sure to suck him dry!"

Justine said winking at her and made Alex blush.

"Oh come on, my pudding!"

Nezuko cried out disappointed that Justine lost while Mitsuri cheered in excitement.

"Ryuu!"

"Yosh yosh! I'll make more pudding later."

Ryuu got hugged by Nezuko who got pampered by him. Mitsuri couldn't decide which was the better price, getting pampered by her lover or the pudding. Seeing her reaction spread, his arms embrace Mitsuri to the other. 

"For now, why don't we eat some lunch? Though we already got some earlier with others but it wouldn't hurt to eat again."

"Alright, I believe Tanjiro is cooking for us today."

Kie said as the two who were fighting walk toward them with both covered in sweat wearing a sports bra and yoga pants. Ryuu inwardly prayed at the thunder thighs and camel toe. 

"Hey, my eyes are up here."

Justine said to tease him but Ryuu just stayed looking at her body. 

"I made my choice."

He said without hesitation making Kanae giggled enjoying his perversion. 

"That aside, what were you two talking about?"

Ryuu could hear their conversation from miles aways thanks to his enhanced senses. He already knew what they were talking about but just wanted to ask them.

"You haven't eaten Alex and she's started to become anxious since you met three  new women and might find more later."

Justine bluntly said having already gotten used to his harem and had been great friends with all of them. In the past she struggled to fit in with women considering her temperament. Ryuu glances at Alex  who only inwardly blush, keeping her composure. 

"Let's do that later. Tomorrow I'll be registering as a hunter while you girls are free to do anything. Do any of you want to join? At least you should come with me."

"Bring Alex with you for now. Me and Mitsuri are planning on exploring a bit."

Justin suggested.

"Nezuko and I along with my children are planning on taking them to play outside. I think they'll be happy to finally see a new world."

Kie said since the children hadn't been outside for a while. Ryuu nodded knowing that they are at least able to protect themselves. 

"Alright, me and Alex along with Shinobu are going to register tomorrow." 

They nodded before inside their home to have their dinner before spending some time together until finally calling it a day. Ryuu woke up in the night to head outside his dimension seeing that it was early in the morning.

He decided to prepare breakfast both for his team members and women using clones to do the job for him while he sat in the balcony and looked at the [ Gacha ] since he wanted to use his remaining [ Gacha ] tickets. He mostly got crappy items for the past months.

'Guess there's nothing wrong with trying again.'

Ryuu used his 5x normal gacha tickets in hopes that he gains something good. He saw the computer panel begin spinning and saw the items.

[ You have acquired 10,000 points ]

[ You have acquired Frying Pan ]

[ You have acquired Oni mask ]

[ You have acquired Alchemy skill ] 

Ryuu saw the last one was useful enough in the future since he might be able to create potions and transmute matter if able to level it up. 

[ You have acquired Job System from Death mage. ]

He was then greeted by quite surprised since th [ Job System ] would potentially give him a massive boost to get stronger. 

'Does this connect to my [ Omni-dimensional Chat System ]?'

[ Job system had been absorbed the Omni-Dimensional Chat Sytem ]

He immediately got the answer that he's looking for and checked his status, finding that he needed to level up first before changing his stats.

"Ryuu?"

A voice was heard as he turned to see Rias wearing a translucent nightgown. He was surprised that she wasn't naked since Rias is known to sleep naked. 

"Rias? How come you're up early?"

"I could ask the same thing."

Rias approached him and went beside him looking at the beautiful dawn. 

"Nothing much, it's just a force of habit on my part. How about you? Having a hard time getting used to your new environment?"

"Yes, I am a bit anxious if we are able to win against them."

Rias said she was not only nervous about their mission but also her own world even after trying to distract herself in trying to grow strong still had the thought haunting her every passing moment. 

Ryuu understood her anxiety unconsciously moving his hand without looking at her into Rias's head who was surprised but instantly felt the warmth and how it made her feel safe. 

"We can do it. Our chances may appear small but as long we take one step then we'll eventually reach our goal. I once read that you shouldn't worry about step 10 when you haven't taken the first step."

He shared his wisdom since it was a hobby of his listening to different philosophies which is why he liked Uncle Iroh so much. 

Ryuu mostly do this among children in the streets to help them overcome their challenges. Rias in daze upon hearing his words muttering something to herself. 

"I think you're just too overwhelmed with things like learning your possible future and now having to deal with this. It's already amazing that you manage to remain sane upon learning everything."

He can't deny if his life was just some fiction or fanfic then he'll go crazy but not too long since there's nothing he could do besides live his life. Rias felt grateful for his kind words that somewhat ease her burden.

"Also you're not alone. We are here for you."

Ryuu turned to face her giving a wide grinned that left an impression to Rias who also smile.

"Thank you, Ryuu."

"You're welcome. If you ever find yourself troubled we are here for you."

"But there's one thing I'm bothered about."

Ryuu tilted his head about what she was trying to say.

"And what's that?"

Rias moved closer enough that Ryuu could only see her face as she placed her fingers into his lips and said.

"Replace 'We' with 'I' then I'll be happy."

Ryuu, a bit surprised by how she was acting now then heard her giggled seeing his reaction as she started walking away. 

"I was just teasing you. Or maybe I'll join your harem, who knows."

Rias left Ryuu who's expression shifted at least she had her [ Aura ] change sensing her feelings for him. He didn't rush and let her feel more comfortable. 

Few minutes later, Ryuu went ahead and brought the girls outside his [ Dimensional Training Room ] to meet up with the other members. His group was eating as Shinobu, Kanae, Mitsuri, Nezuko, Kie, Trese and Justine followed behind introducing themselves. 

"Oh wow, she really blessed huh? A fine addition to your collection, Ryuu."

"To be fair it's normal to have that kind of body but I'm quite jealous."

Nezuko and Justine move, staring at Rias' Breast who stepped back. They were the one with the smallest breasts compared to the others, though their size is already blessed enough. 

"Stop you two, she's starting to feel uncomfortable."

Alex stopped them since she was more mature than the rest of them but did feel conscious seeing Rias's body looking at her breast tapping it a bit and sighing. Ryuu saw this lean closer and whispered into her ear making her blush but happy hearing it. 

"Why are you looking at me, Humans?"

Lucifer exclaimed seeing Kie and Kanae looking at her trying to judge Lucifer upon seeing her [ Aura ]. 

"Nothing much, I heard from my sister that you have quite the pride and you don't dissapoint."

Kanae gave her opinion.

"Hmph! I'm Lucifer Morningstar, the CEO of Hell and the personification of pride. How can I not be?"

"We don't mean to offend you."

Kie softly apologizes since she still remains the kindest among them and her magic is the manifestation of it. 

"Don't mind her, she's just like that."

Ryuu said to them.
