'Quite a long list. Thank goodness it is easy to remember.'
Fynn: Ok... so how about we get going home?
Kaguya: Home...
Reine: It seems like... we Spirits finally have a place to call home.
Yuzuru: Confirmation... Home indeed.
*Kobayashi Residence*
Fynn: Mom! I'm back, there are some guests with me!
Elisa: Bring them to the living room! I am cooking!
Fynn: Well girls, follow me. Please feel at home, whatever you need, I'll do my best to provide.
Reine: Don't worry dear, please.
Fynn: Oh please! Just accept my goodwill ok?
*RUF*
Fynn: Ard! When did you get here buddie?!
Reine: What is he? He is so cute!
I could swear Reine has stars in her eyes. And Ard, my little Zinogre, bobs his head to the side while looking at her, trying to identify her intentions probably, since he is already capable of hunting and sending minor electric shocks. Well, better answer Reine's questions regarding the little guy.
Fynn: He is the only member of his race, which are the Zinogre. His name is Ard and he is my pup and future mount when he grows up. This little guy is cute now, but once he reaches his teens he'll be already as tall as me. And when he becomes an adult, the electric charges he can create will be more than enough to supply a whole city with energy through a day. So he is quite the strong one.
(AN= I chose to buff the Zinogre a little bit, since he'll be fighting devils, angels, gods, etc.)
Reine: Wow, aren't you awesome! Who's a good boy? You are a good boy!
Yuzuru/Kaguya/Fynn: ...
Fynn: This is... unexpected to say the least.
Elisa: Welcome home Fynn! Might you introduce your friends? Oh! Ard arrived this morning while you were at school. I was only able to settle things with Japan's Magical Affairs Association when I threw your name as a Campione.
Fynn: To the last issue, I only have to say that they better behave, or they'll suffer. To the first question... This here are Spirits, those born from Reiryoku and emotions. Yuzuru and Kaguya here appeared all of a sudden today and destroyed school. Once I was able to calm them down I offered them to stay by my side to leave as sisters. Reine here is...
Reine: My name is Reine Murasame, but other Spirits know me as Phantom. I am Fynn's first woman. It is a pleasure to meet you, mother-in-law.
Well... at least she bowed her head at the end. I'm glad she took it upon herself to introduce herself, but she could have waited instead of interrupting me.
Elisa: Oh my! My dear son finally brings home a daughter for me!
Fynn: I'm surprised you take it so lightly and happily.
Elisa: Well, you are no longer a normal man. You have enough strength to trample a country, so I am not surprised. Besides, you are now a Campione, and as someone equal to Gods, you are a man who will be surrounded by women at some point. So it is actually normal for you to have a harem. Besides, it's not like polygamy is banned.
Fynn: Wow. I didn't expect you to think so deeply about this mom.
Elisa: It is my duty as your mother to think about this things, so that I can guide you later on through the road you choose to walk.
Fynn: I fear you might not be able to guide me through the road I have chosen... But anyways, Can we go talk over dinner perhaps?
Elisa: Sure!
Fynn: Yuzuru, Kaguya, please feel at home. Come on Ard, let's go eat.
*Ruf*
The food was delicious I must admit. We ate fish and chips as an entry and the main dish was a boxty accompanied by colcannon. I decided to prepare the dessert myself, which consisted in my favorite carrageen moss pudding, accompanied by the classic irish coffee. I must admit though, I did use some of my power to speed up the process. In spite of that, this was the most wholesome meal I've had in the last month.
Fynn: By the way mom, tomorrow there will be some devils coming home. Don't worry, they just want to have a talk with me.
Elisa: *sigh* Ok, I won't be home until the end of the week anyway. I have to go back to Ireland for a bit to settle the last issues.
Fynn: Ok mom! Don't worry, I'll be keeping an eye out here for anything weird. You know I'm strong enough.
Elisa: Anyways, good night. Please show the girls their rooms.
Fynn: Sure!
*Next morning*
As soon as I woke up, I feel weight all over my body. As I open my arms, I see the reason.
'This must be Reine's work.'
My left and right arm are being used as pillows by Yuzuru and Kaguya, while Reine is using my chest, sleeping on top of me. I'd be lying if I said this isn't a nice scene to wake up to. But... The boner under my boxers isn't helping me. Guess I'll wake the girls up.
Fynn: Girls, please, I need to prepare myself for today's visit. Yuzuru, Kaguya, why are you even here? I can understand Reine but you...
Yuzuru: Answer... We don't want to fall behind.
Kaguya: We... we also want t-to... be with y-you!
Reine: I encouraged them a little bit.
Fynn: *sigh* Fine. For now, freshen up and get dressed in casual clothes. You can pick some designs from this catalogue. I know you can create clothes from nothing so do that with what you like. I'll go take a quick shower.
As soon as I finished talking I gave a deep kiss to Reine and a quick pekc to the twins. This is the most I want to do right now. I must be focused for the Maou who will surely arrive.
After the quick shower, I decided to get dressed in a not so tech style. A "Crane" kimono cardigan over a "Rolling In" t-shirt, while I wore "Lined" jean joggers for the pants and "Fire Blade" sneakers on my feet. The complementary accessory is a jade tang sword necklace I bought some days ago.
'Ok, now I am ready.'
Thank goodness I didn't take any longer, or else I would have missed the guests by a few minutes. Reine is already coming down the stairs with Yuzuru and Kaguya on tow. That is good since I am going to need them here with me.
After a few minutes in which the four of us made some small talk, we heard a knock on the door. Since I am the host and owner, I decided to attend to it myself. What greeted my sight where two very similar girls. One was Sona, who we all know for her bob haircut with short bangs. And by her side the one and only Serafall Leviathan, one of the current four Maous and one of the cutest airheads out there. Though she is capable of doing her job, if not she wouldn't be a Maou in spite of her behaviour. What really colored me surprised was the red-haired girl with slightly pinkish eyes. She was... Mio Naruse. But how can she be here with them?
Fynn: Welcome to my home, I am Fynn, as Sona must have already informed you about my background since you surely investigated everything about me. Doubt you found much though. Anyways, it is my pleasure to receive you here. Sona, Serafall and... Mio.
Serafall: How do you know her name?!
Fynn: Now, now, you should calm down. I don't want such a cute flower to be angry at me. Please come inside so we can speak calmly over some tea and snacks.
Serafall: ...Fine, but now you got my full attention... be carefull.
Fynn: *Fufu* Sorry, sorry. I don't mean to be disrespectful... but you wouldn't be able to do anything to me. Still. This is supposed to be a meeting for peace and alliance. She is clearly not your relative, so there must be a reason to this. Come, I'll show you to the living room where you can sit down and relax, it must've been hard to convince the council not to attack me. Those old fools. Anyways, please relax, I mean no harm to you.
Serafall: 'What have I gotten myself into...'
