The ‘D’ Day I
The Lucifuge Territory was crowded with cheering and pleasantries, commotion all over the streets and a happy atmosphere overall. The devils clamoured at the prospect of their imminent salvation.
"Long live the Golden Dragon!"
"Thanks, Lord Richter!"
"Lord Sairaorg! give your best! the Bael Family supports you!"
"Lady Seekvaira we trust in you!"
...
Richter stretched after coming out of his routine shower, Grayfia was drying his body before drying hers, behind them, on the bed were the bodies of several females, smiles in their faces and shivering bodies.
"Master, you exceeded yourself again" Grayfia reproached him a bit, taking extra care in drying his crotch.
Richter merely smirked, "If you want to blame someone then blame Albedo, shouldn't have tempted me so early in the morning".
"W-Why me too?!" Annette constricted behind, sharing the thoughts of the Nephilim and the angel who had been utterly ravaged. Her crotch was numb from so much pounding, nevertheless, her satisfaction was undeniable.
...
After completely drying himself, Richter turned Grayfia around and much to her surprise, returned the favour, starting by drying her silky silver hair.
"Thanks, master, love you~" It wasn't every time she, the maid, got spoiled like this by her master, her pregnancy made her like the most delicate of crystals in Richter's eyes.
"Can you feel it?" He asked suddenly and she nodded.
"Yes, there is a lot more faith pouring in from the underworld, master... it seems they love you now. It must be Ajuka and Serafall's doing".
"Take as much faith as you want".
"Hmn~"
The maid turned her head to deliver her master the sweetest of kisses, a series of pecks.
"So romantic so early, mummy is going to get jealous" Fia's head picked through the door towards their room, unlike the lazy rest, she responsibly woke up earlier than everyone else.
"M-Mother, how can you stand up after last evening?" Grayfia waved her hands and donned a light summer dress, with her growing belly she could no longer use her so-desired maid attire.
"It is all thanks to Lady Li Suo... come son-in-law, I have the perfect outfit for you" After taking his good morning kiss, Richter allowed himself to be pulled by Fia who seemingly forgot he was still nude.
"Why do I need an outfit? I thought we were just going to let the kids enter the Eternal Heaven Pearl. I have things to do afterwards, Fia" he was planning to visit a few people.
Seeing that her son-in-law was as stubborn as ever, Fia stood up straight and placed her slender hands on her hips as if telling him off.
"Dear, Serafall and Ajuka portrayed you as the saviour of the underworld! you're giving them a chance to become strong enough to face the Fallen God Faction, a group of devils of the young generation are going to enter and they're seen as the vanguard".
"They set up some crazy story".
"Anyway, you're now the god of the underworld or even the whole world. They have all acknowledged you so you have to show yourself as such! Come, Layla, we have work to do, also Little Millicas is waiting"
!!!
The moment the name of her son was mentioned, that was the time Layla, who was lazily sprawled on her beloved's bed, recalled that she was a mother, a maid, an acolyte, her master's delegate and everything in between.
"M-Mother, I-I will be ready in a bit!"
Layla ran away from the bed, covering herself and her crotch, heading into the bathroom to take the quickest shower in her life using magic, "I will be ready in... three minutes".
"So, an hour? Very well... you all shouldn't have had sex for this long, we have an eternity to share together, there is no need to go so far, come dear... leave those shameless girls there~" Her other daughters were quite lazy, of that Fia had no doubt.
**

"It is good that you have all come" Richter deadpanned, talking to the crowd in front of him in a quite modest black tuxedo with a golden tie.
The crowd eagerly awaited his words, in front were the chosen kids that were to enter the Eternal Heaven Pearl and become the hope of the devils. Yasaka and Amaterasu had also arrived, unsurprisingly, Yasaka brought along her daughter Kunou, he already imagined what she wanted to request of him as her gaze looked quite complicated.
"Richter-sama, we are ready" Venelana stepped forward together with Diehauser Belial.
"Where are Ajuka and Serafall?" Richter asked, spreading his senses to notice that they were coming together with someone else, a group of people to be exact.
"They will be here shortly, many things have happened in a single day, and this opportunity was so abrupt that we barely had time to prepare ourselves, thankfully it is all settled now".
"If you all so desire you can have more time to-"
"No! Each second that we spend here is an enormous waste of time, Richter-sama, there shall be no delays!" Seekvaira and Sona insisted, out of everyone those two looked like the most eager to get inside.
Since they were so eager, he nodded and allowed them all into the Lucifuge Castle, leaving behind a crowd of hectic devils of all races.
...
"Where is everyone else? Annette-sensei?" Yuuto, together with his group, wondered where the main people of this castle were. The maids and butlers were everywhere, as happy as usual but the members of the Nephilim faction were missing.
*cough*
Grayfia coughed a little, "They're a little tired and won't be entering the Eternal Heaven Pearl immediately…"
"Tired? Could it be that they were training on their own?"
"Y-Yes... that's exactly what they were doing-" Fia started, trying to give the safest explanation possible, alas...
"Master was a little hungry in the morning, so… they had to take another bit of battering~" Grayfia giggled and shattered her master's reputation amidst the cultured ones. There were some clueless bunch, such as Hyodo Issei and Seekvaira Agares, however... those that understood the metaphor could only look at the Golden Dragon in pure fear.
'A-All of them?!'
...
"First we shall have a banquet in which you will be explained the dynamic inside the Eternal Heaven Pearl. How things are going to work for you for the next two thousand years".
*GULP!*
'T-Two thousand years...'
Some felt anxious, some overwhelmed... but none was afraid.
"One minute, husband…" a staggering Gabriel walked down the stairs, Richter frowned and levitated her body until she was in his embrace, her golden wings were out, beautiful as ever and capturing the gaze of every male, but her body was covered in bedsheets.
The angel was blushing, panting and a little sweaty.
'What happened to her!?' It wasn't a secret to the devils that the most beautiful Seraph of the heavens was also one of the Golden Dragon mates. Issei could only grit his teeth and promise himself that someday... perhaps in the next two thousand years, he'd reach that level.
"What is it, Gabriel?"
"There are some girls coming from the heavens, I was hoping you'd allow them to train in the Eternal Heaven Pearl".
"Why didn't you tell me?" Richter frowned, they had a lot of time yesterday and yet she had to come down now in this haggard state.
"Dear I was going to tell you but you-" Gabriel pouted and started doing some eye songs that indicated 'I can't say in front of them'.
The purity of the seraph in the eyes of the public had to remain. No one should ever know how filthy she could get when she proposed it.
"Oh… it is my fault then?~"
"Husband I didn't say that".
"Could you lovebirds get down to business? Gabriel" Fia was a woman of schedule, she didn't like her schedules getting interrupted.
Feeling the matriarch's glare, Gabriel quivered and released herself reluctantly from her beloved's grasp. She extended her hand forward and a teleportation circle manifested in front of everyone.
From the magic circle, three clueless silhouettes manifested in this world. They had many things in common. The three of them had angel wings, the three had halos on their heads... and the three were beauties.
"Xenovia, Irina, Asia".
"My lady!" Seeing their mistress, the three girls knelt down right away, they knew they'd be called, but they didn't know when. This reckoning was completely impromptu.
"This is my husband, Richter... introduce yourselves".
Hearing the name and regarding the man in question, the three girls felt apprehension, there was no corner in the supernatural world where this name wasn't being pronounced, that said, not many had the possibility to meet him in person.
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Richter-sama. My name is Irina, an angel at the service of Gabriel-sama" The auburn-haired girl knelt down first towards him, even just by respect since this person was also their mistress' partner.
"Xenovia, likewise it is an honour" The blue-haired girl was one of fewer words, she bent her head down politely, holding two scabbards, a gigantic one on her back and one to the side of her body.
"A-Ano, I'm Asia Argento, thanks for having me here, Dragon-sama" The blonde girl was no doubt the cutest in Richter's eyes, she looked visibly afraid to be there.
The three beauties were wearing white robes and their identities as angels were clear, the devils remained silent since they knew this training camp was not exclusive for them, they were just lucky enough to be invited.
Richter nodded towards them and addressed Gabriel, "I don't mind them, but-"
"Everyone else was tested, you wish for them to be tested too, right? Please do so, I trust they shall pass, they're my personal brave knights. Especially you, Asia, trust yourself~" Gabriel smiled proudly towards her entourage.
"I will, Gabriel-sama!"
...
"It is just as Gabriel-sama said, I don't want to be gifted my spot, I shall fight for it with everything I have" The blue-haired girl uncovered her sword. It was golden and blue in colour, one could tell she wasn't holding back.
"That sword" Rias recalled that sword was what Ares used during his outburst, fighting against Yasaka and Annette.
Even the kitsune recalled some back memories of that time just like Amaterasu.
"After Aphrodite slaughtered Ares, we managed to retrieve it. The Sacred Sword Durandal" Gabriel explained, "She's quite talented, husband".
"Excalibur…" Kiba Yuuto grit his teeth far away, wise enough to know not to make a scene in front of everyone here, but he was regarding the sword in Irina's hands and the one hooking to Xenovia's waist with venom.
"Very well, let's sta-" Fia sighed and decided to keep the show going, sadly... once again someone interrupted.
"Wait!"
Azazel landed as well together with a group of people. Included were Ajuka and Serafall who Richter had already sensed earlier.
"Richter-sama…" Ajuka greeted his friend, saviour and son-in-law, "We have a request for you if it would be possible…"
"State it".
"Please, allow these kids into that treasure of yours. Ajuka told me the gist of it… could I check it up by any chance?" Azazel smiled roguishly, it was then that the silhouette of a female, flawless even beyond Gabriel's level, appeared behind Richter, floating and leaning on his shoulders lovingly.
"No~"
Li Suo didn't want her master to answer and at once she declined the proposal. It wasn't any different from having anyone inspect her body, something that would have never happened before, more so now that she had given herself in body and soul to someone.
She WAS the Eternal Heaven Pearl and the Primordial Seal, not a separate entity.
"A pity, then-"
"We meet again, Golden Dragon".
"…"
Azazel was interrupted by a boy that walked forward ahead of his group, he had silver hair and for some reason, Richter recalled having seen this boy somewhere.
"Anything wrong, dear?" Fia noticed his frown as well as he tried to remember where exactly he had seen this boy. The more silence there was, the more the group came along that silver-haired boy resisted the urge to laugh out loud.
"I can't remember... who are you, boy?"
*PFT!*
"HAHAHAHA!! There it goes Vali-chan, he doesn't even remember you~"
"So much for surviving the Golden Dragon-nya!"
*SNORT!*
