12 XII - Going to the Underworld
The road to Hell is paven in good intentions.- Light Yagami
--------------------------------
Fynn: To what do I owe the pleasure of having you here, Riser Phenex?
Serafall: Phenex?!
Riser: I was asked by the Council to come fetch a war prisoner and a traitor... to think it would be you. And you have the Lucifuge offspring. Come willingly.
I can't play passive now, that would go against all my speech earlier. It is easy to stop this situation from going worse. But what I'll do is totally erase it from the root.
Fynn: Now, now. It isn't very well mannered of you to irrupt in the house of others and try to abduct the guests, right?
That is when Riser noticed his mistake at ignoring me. The full brunt of the pressure brought by me considering him an enemy is enough to make him almost kneel. I guess that the title of "Emperor" isn't given lightly by the system.
Riser: W-who are y-you, m-mortal?
Fynn: Mortal? Me? Are you ignorant? I am Fynn Kobayashi, my existence is something you would understand if you read books instead of waste time fighting. I am a Campione. That's it for introductions.
Serafall: Calm down Fynn, please. Don't hurt Riser.
Fynn: I wasn't going to hurt him. It is by pure nature that he wants to kneel. That is what one who is below an emperor does.
Her surprised face says it all. She really didn't expect me to say something like that, I guess. But its the truth. The only reason noone kneels in front of me is because I don't wish for people to do so. If not, my aura would make everyone kneel everywhere I go.
Fynn: Anyway, you want to take them, am I wrong?
Riser: Indeed, that was my purpose for coming here. But now I only want to destroy you for your arrogance in front of a Devil King.
'Oh my god... this guy is seriously stupid'
That was when a light chuckle was heard. Reine was trying to stop herself from laughing at Falbium's words while she played with Ard's little horns.
Riser: What does this woman laugh at? Hm? Oh... she is a nice looking one... I'll take her with me. She'll be my playthin...
Fynn: If I hear one more word out of your foul mouth, you won't be going back to the Underworld. If you even dare to look at her or any other woman in this room with the smallest hint of lust, you are dead. If you act arrogantly in front of me again, you are dead. Blink if you understand, dent if you want to die now.
He blinked. At least he understands he can't deal with some people. I might have allowed the best of my possessiveness and protectiveness to affect me, but the way he adresed Reine really got to my nerves. As if I would allow an ant to look at my woman.
Fynn: Good. Now you'll take all of us to your so precious Council, and I will do the talking. If I so much as hear a word from you once we get there, you are dead.
*ruf*
--Underworld, Council Room--
The Phenex Family Magic Circle appeared below the Council's chairs.
???: Ah, Riser must have completed the mission we assigned him with.
???: Such a promising child. He does exactly as told and you just have to give him fleshly pleasures.
Fynn: 'Sup fuckers.
???: Who are you?! Riser explain this right now!
Fynn: I'm sorry to inform you that this... worm? can't speak right now. If he did, he would die.
???: Preposterous! How dare yo...
Fynn: Silence!
As soon as I said that, I began releasing pressure again. I really hate this guys. Even before coming here, I already hated them. It is because of their existence that the Underworld is such a sad, corrupt and backwards place. If this old guys weren't so fixated on keeping their stupid power, things would've developped differently in here. That is why I hate them and it also is the reason why I respect Sona so much. Her dream is literally the opposit of what this people want.
Fynn: You all should understand something, you are not in a position to order anyone around. You all keep the Underworld from making real progress, reason why I hate you all. So I'll make this clear and I will say it only once. Mio Lucifuge is under my protection, same as Serafall Leviathan and the house of Sitri. If I ever find out you tried to do anything against them, I'll come here and destroy you.
???: Who are you to make such statements while in our territory?! You are nothing but...
I am not in the mood to listen to them. I just want to go back home and get cuddly with Reine and the others. I'll just do it.
-Sirzechs' office, Underworld-
Sirzechs: WHAT IS THIS!
Grayfia: I have no idea, but its strong!
While Sirzechs was being forced to fill in some documents, the Underworld felt a pressure that most wouldn't be able to stand. It wasn't the pressure of an enemy, nore that of an ally. It was pure, unadulterated power being released. It wasn't as menacing as Ophis to them, but is was certainly close to her.
-Somewhere in the Underworld-
???: This pressure... it is too much even for me.
-Somewhere on Earth-
???: What is going on?! I've never felt this kind of power!
???: I don't know, but it is one of my kind. I shall meet whomever is releasing so much power and subdue him.
-Devil Council, Underworld-
Fynn: I hope you understand, even if you manage to do something against me, it will be at most a pyrrhic victory for your side. I'll repeat what I said to young Riser here. Blink if you understand, deny if you want to die.
Again, they blinked. It is good that Sirzechs wasn't here from the very beginning, since that would've complicated things, as he is still loyal to them.
'What do I even think that for...'
A magic circle appeared right beside me. I would recognize it even with my eyes closed. That is the circle used by Sirzechs, on of the only known Super Devils.
Sirzechs: What is happening here?
Serafall: We were asked to come and Fynn-chan wanted to protect us. He is a really good kid.
Fynn: I would be happy if you didn't call me a kid, of all things, Serafall. Even more so knowing the extent of my powers.
What I really didn't expect is this people's Auras. Serafall's right now is a Deep blue like before, but now it is half blue and half mint, which means in such a short span of time, her feelings for me have deepened. Probably seeing the extent to which I can go to protect her family and Mio. Mio is now having little tints of mint and Sona is the same. Dude, I just got my first official girlfriend yesterday and now there are other five girls who want to be with me? Not like I am going to complain, I'll enjoy this thoroughly. Back on topic, Sirzechs has a Blue and Green mix, which means he already sees me a possible friend and someone to be respected. Grayfia, who I plan to make fall for me if she is not already taken, has the deepest Blue I have ever seen, mixed with hints of light blue and... pink? Why is she feeling lust towards me? Well, something to check later.
Grayfia: Would you be so kind to stop releasing so much pressure? I am pretty sure the whole Underworld felt it.
Fynn: Oh, I am very sorry my lady. My name is Kobayashi Fynn, a Campione. Would you be so kind to grace me with your name?
Serafall: Don't you already know who she is?
Fynn: Knowing someone and them introducing themselves are two different things, my dear Sera. It would be a lack of courtesy from me to not ask such a fine lady for her name. Even more so considering the fact that right now I am an invader in the eyes of your people.
Grayfia chuckled. She chuckled at my antics! I can die of happinness. She is so beautiful and cute at the same time. Just seeing her smile, if ever so slightly, makes me happy. She had such a sad life.
Grayfia: *fufu* My name is Grayfia Lucifuge, Kobayashi-sama. It is my pleasure to meet you.
Fynn: Please, just Fynn is enough, miss Lucifuge. I would not dare ask you to use honorifics with me. Even if you act as just a maid, I know everything there is to know of your circumstances. Just as much as I know of everyone in this room.
Sirzechs: If you do not mind me meddling, how do you know of us?
Fynn: That would be something I'll leave Serafall to explain later, together with how I came to know them and the circumstances in which I decided to come here and stop these old fools from going forwards with their power driven plans.
Sirzechs: Well then, I'd like to invite you to drink something with me sometime, perhaps some tea?
Fynn: I would gladly accept. Know that you and Grayfia are always welcome in my home. Though you might find more Whiskey and other drinks there. Irish blood makes alcohol something I can only long for.
Sirzechs: *laughs* Well then! I'd be glad to take you on that offer.
Then, Sirzechs got closer to me and whispered something in my ear which I am pretty sure only I could hear. I am really going to be good friends with this guy.
Sirzechs: Grayfia never showed such interest in anyone. She hasn't even laughed with anyone's attempts. I would be more than happy to allow her to go live with you. Officially, she would be a maid for you and also work as a connection between me and you. What do you think?
I simply smiled and nodded. There is nothing else to say. I am just glad that there are very nice people out there.
Fynn: Very well then... I am going to make a drastic change in this place. The Council will stand. But they will listen to the Devil Kings for the final say. No more power driven movements. By the way, there are some houses which still use the King Piece. Just saying.
Sirzechs: There are people using those damn pieces?!
Fynn: Yup! Oh by the way, when you find all of them, send Roygun Belphegor to me. She just loves Rating Games, and I think that it will be nice when she is able to take part in them as a member of my team. I am sure you are surprised, but later on more races will participate in this games. But anyway, I don't want to spoil to many things. You'll take them as they come.
Serafall: Are you leaving?
Fynn: Even though I am, you can always come with me. Mio is coming with me after all, right? Besides, you are the Foreign Affairs Manager, which makes you the other person who can possibly come with me, besides those devils living in the human world to recruit their peerages, like little Sona here.
Grayfia: You really do know a lot, Fynn-kun.
Fynn: Just Fynn is fine, please. Also, Sera here can explain things to you all. Well... I'll be taking my leave now. I just hope you guys understood that messing with those I care about is not a right choice. Also, I would love to keep a good connection to you guys. Perhaps I could bring someone with me who can contact Sirzechs here to know how Internal Affairs are?
Sirzechs: Hmmm... the only person who can really connect with that fast is Grayfia. Would you mind taking her? She can do one hell of a job as a maid and as an assistant.
Fynn: If that is fine with the lady, I have no problem in housin...
Grayfia: I'd love to!
Serafall: Well someone is excited.
Fynn: Oh as if you weren't happy to come with me, Sera. Perhaps I should begin calling you wifey from now on?
Teasing girls will definitely be one of the few hobbies I'll pick up, besides singing and playing the piano. I just can't get tired of it, something which I am finding myself to repeat constantly lately. But to see them blushing is just something that show innocence and brings their beauty to another level.
Serafall: Moooou! Fynn-chan stop teasing me!
Fynn: Fine, fine. So, are you both coming back with me and Mio? Or will you stay to explain everyone what is going on?
Serafall: I'll stay and explain everything. After that I will go and stay with you. Grayfia might want to do the same, lest you have to explain everything again.
Fynn: Oh, Sera in her work mode is also such a cute thing.
Sera: Fynn-chan!
Fynn: *fufu* Ok, I guess Mio and I will take our leave for now. I'll be expecting you girls to come soon. Sirzechs, if you want to visit, just do it. No need to announce yourself. My house is as good as yours too. Oh, you might want to enhance it with magic though, perhaps make it bigger inside. I don't know how many rooms will be occupied, but I could use a few more... perhaps a lot more.
Sirzechs: I'll drop by later, perhaps tomorrow. I'll see if I can ask a friend to enchant your house.
Fynn: Well, thank you. Goodbye everyone! See ya'll later.
Before I could teleport back home though, I felt someone come close to me. As soon as I turned around, I had Serafall kissing me. I guess everyone must have been shocked. Though I wan't expecting her to be this forward, I wasn't caught totally unprepared, so I just went ahead with the kiss. Then, Grayfia came closer with a slight violet mixed with her blue, mint and pink aura, and gave me a short kiss on the cheek. I am so going to love living this new life of mine!
Fynn: See you back home, kay? Bye guys.
Serafall: See you in a bit, Fy... darling.
Grayfia: I'll see you very soon, Fynn.
And with that, I asked Mio to teleport us back home.
-----------------------------------------
How are you guys! This was a little chapter I wanted to make with somewhat of twist in some characters. While Grayfia will mostly keep her seriousness, she will show the side of her which is still a maiden who needs love. Serafall is not a Sis-con because I simply hate that side of her. I really do.
Also I wanted to get rid of the Devil Council but I have plans for them later, so I'll keep them around for a little bit longer!
Hope you all enjoyed! See ya!
