Coming Back

For three days, Eleonora had to go to each family of her new lovers to meet and introduce herself to them. Not only that, but she also tried to convince their parents so they would accept her relationship with their daughters as her harem, and thankfully they did while some of them were a bit reluctant about it. But with Eleonora's words that can easily convince them, they understand and accept it without any debate or drama.

She and her lovers also finished buying a house that can be used as their base or residence when returned to Kaori's world if they want it. Kaori's parents, especially her father, teared up and cried dramatically when his beloved and angelic daughter was about to leave him. Still, he understood that his dear daughter was already an adult and couldn't force her.

Kaori, her classmate, and Aiko have to drop out of school. At first, Eleonora thought it seemed cruel since they might desire to enjoy their high school life, but they are okay with it, and something like that won't make any difference from what they did at Tortus.

Since they were declared as MIA when transported to another world, thus they have to repeat their high school year. After discussing it, they come up with a single decision: dropping out from Namihazu High School and living with Eleonora. Eleonora even offers them a chance to be high school students again when coming to her world, but they have declined that and focused on their current goal to achieve their dreams.

Suzu even told them about another solution, which is easier.

"How about we do a home-schooling together? Seeing that we don't want to separate from Eleonora-san and want to spend our time together, I think that's the right choice!"

This made Yuka hum as she thought of it thoroughly. She considers that idea and glances at her classmate. Their eyes met and gave the girl with chestnut-colored hair a nod of approval as they understood what she thought.

"That's not a bad idea. We all agreed to spend time with Eleonora-san rather than separated, so home-schooling is the best choice. How about that, Eleonora-san?"

"But tutoring all of you isn't like home-schooling anymore, I guess. While I am agreed it's not a bad idea, still… I think it's good for you to interact with someone other than us. It's also partly my fault to make you all drop out of high school from your world."

Looking away with guilt and sadness on her face, Eleonora said that to every one of her harems. Instead of being disappointed, they give Eleonora a sincere smile on their faces to the young bluenette. The supposed-to-be leader of Kaori and Shizuku's classmate, Sonobe Yuka, boldly placed her hands on Eleonora's cheeks and brought her lips to the bluenette's as they shared a kiss. Both girls did that for two minutes before they broke the kiss. It's not indecent, but a loving one.

Yuka's smile widening and joy were evident on her face, while her cheeks a trace of faint blush over it.

"Please, Eleonora-san. Don't think of yourself like that. It's our decision and not yours. We decided that by ourselves. While we weren't "adults" yet, but in a sense, we are, and as an adult, we can make our own decisions. So it's nothing to be worried about."

"Yuka…"

"Yuka-san is right, Eleonora-san! We are adults, and it's our own decision to choose that, so we won't regret it a bit."

"I'm agreed with what Ai-chan-sensei said, Eleonora-san! Right, everyone?"

Upon Suzu's words, every girl nods their head to agree with that. Kaori, Shizuku, Yuka, Suzu, Aiko, Eri, Ayako, Mao, Nana, and Taeko share the same thought. While it's kind of hurt, those girls that love Eleonora so much didn't feel any regret deep within themselves with their decisions.

Although Sakura and Keine already decided that, they also understand it. Eleonora's lovers won't do something without thinking about it thoroughly; that also goes to the girls except Eleonora, Sakura, and Keine. The young bluenette lovers from Namihazu High School won't do anything that puts a burden on Eleonora since they know it would cause a problem.

"Suzu-san is right, Eleonora-san. We choose this by ourselves."

"I-I'm with Eri-chan! Maybe it sucks that we will part away from our families, but we won't have to worry that much since we can return here again. After all, we would be completely separated from our families when we married. Right?"

"Uhum. What Aya-chan was said."

"Yes! So don't overthink it too much, Eleonora-san. We got an easy way to return to our world, after all."

"Although I don't think it's appropriate to consider it like that, I wholeheartedly agree with Nana-san."

They gave the answers to Eleonora, despite wording it differently, but the meaning is the same. None of them disagree with the decisions since they want to come with Eleonora to live together as a family and couple.

Once again, Eleonora went quiet as she was stunned by the answers from her lovers. Her blue eyes could see Sakura and Keine nodding their heads at her with a knowing smile adorned their faces. This caused Eleonora to let out heavy and long sighs.

"I understand, but…! But at least let me make you finish your high school education. If you want, you can go to the same school as Shea-san back in my world. I still have two years left, you know. That's enough time for any of you that still wants to be a high school student to finish it."

She said that while looking at them in turn with a hardened face. Eleonora wants them to finish the education they already have if they still have the time, but if they're not, then she won't tell them to do that.

"Yes. We understand that, Eleonora-san."

They answered in unison but caused Eleonora to chuckle and slightly shake her head.

"Please, we are lovers, so don't use an honorific when calling me."

They then started laughing together when hearing the answer from Eleonora in a joking tone like that, while the young bluenette opened up the portal to her world so they could cross over it and arrive at the destination they've wanted.

Akame let a short sigh out of her mouth. These days, many things happen in the world that Yasaka lives and it's nothing to be surprised about for someone like her who is accustomed to it since back in her days as an assassin, something like this frequently happened.

The black-haired assassin reminded again about the brief summary of events in the world of DxD or Dragonic Deus. As the Red Dragon Emperor's host death, the world is thrown in chaos but not to the extent it will revert them to calamity or back to early life. Since Hyoudou Issei, or the current/former host of Red Dragon Emperor, belongs to the Devil faction, they felt weakened and caused their enemies to break through it. They have used this chance to further weaken the Devil faction, and it's the perfect chance for the terrorist organization known as Chaos Brigade.

While the Devil faction signed a peace treaty with both Angel and Fallen Angel factions, it still did not let them breathe in relief since they could be backstabbed by their 'allies' and used this chance to further develop themselves. According to them, the Devil faction always has the upper hand at everything due to their Evil Pieces system that could reincarnate anyone to be a devil.

That kind of system has existed since the aftermath of the Great War, leaving Angel and Fallen Angel at to disadvantage of their population. Not to mention that the Devil faction could get their hands on Sacred Gear users that can be added up as their arsenals.

If it can be summarized as one word, it is: unfair.

This led them to demand anything the Devil faction hid from their supposed allies. Of course, the devil council won't easily give it to Angel and Fallen Angel since they were too stubborn. Even the Youkai faction demands the truth and explanation of Neko's purge, which involves Nekoshou being purged by a noble and pureblood devil.

'To think all of the current Nekomata was being reincarnated as Devil… no wonder Yasaka-san would be enraged by that fact and couldn't do anything against one of the big faction like Devil. They are like a superpower country and the most powerful out of all factions.'

The black-haired assassin agrees that justice should be upheld for the Youkai faction, despite how small it is compared to the Three Great faction. That's why a meeting was held, not only Devil, Angel, or Fallen Angel but every faction. However, humans don't have it since they don't want to invite Hero Faction, which refers to humanity's savior and slayers of supernatural creatures.

Currently, Akame in Kuoh has been given a so-called 'mission' by Yasaka to deliver a message to the two sisters of the Maous. Although Yasaka and Kunou have a friendly term with Hyoudou Issei, they haven't with his comrades-in-arms and friends, so they wouldn't meet with them.

Although Yasaka intends to discuss the returning of Nekomata's Youkai to the Kyoto Youkai's side, which can be considered compensation for them. It took Yasaka several years to look at that case and finally do something about it since the previous leader of Kyoto Youkai didn't have the power to do it.

When she arrived at Kuoh, Akame couldn't believe how terrible that town's situation was.

From what she heard, Kuoh is currently managed by the two sisters of two Maous and thought it would be under control. Still, with many threatening presences of fallen angels, rogue exorcists, and Stray Devils, she had to wonder what those two were doing in this town.

Akame flinched when she sensed a killing intent that suddenly targeted her as she walked around. Knowing that the black-haired assassin and swordswoman then unsheathe her sword, and before she knows it, the blade of her sword suddenly deflects something that attacked her. Again, and again. She keeps getting attacked and being forced to be defensive for a moment.

'Who is my attacker…? I couldn't see it. Do they use a long-range attack to strike me? It's not a bullet from firearms, but something else. But I have to figure out what kind of long-range attack is this.'

Being in a defensive state, it's not the style of Akame, but with the countless fight she has, the black-haired swordswoman and assassin are forced to learn about her opponent. She could defend herself and understand the pattern or anything from her opponent.

Each attack that was targeted to her doesn't have a heavy force. But one thing is sure that she knows: the strike is based on projectile magic and demonic. Akame could determine how strong and weak it is, and this attack is weak from the magical presence. As the projectile attack keeps going, the black-haired assassin could hear the footsteps of some people.

'The attacker is just one, but I hear so many footsteps. Did the rest of them didn't attack me? That is kind of weird.'

But as Akame can faintly guess her opponent, she switched from defensive to the offensive as the black-haired assassin charged to her opponents alone with the sword she possessed. Panicked seeing it, one of the people of Akame's attacker then shouted.

"Kiba! Koneko! Hold her!"

"Yes, Buchou!"

Akame's ears twitched as she noticed some names and imprinted them on her head while she kept charging towards her enemies. But then she was greeted with two figures of people trying to prevent her from attacking. One is a swordsman, while the other is a young girl with a gauntlet. The one with the sword charged to Akame and swung it to her as Akame easily deflected it and went to the gauntlet user.

Surprised at the speed that was shown by Akame, the gauntlet user swung her fist as she tried to hit the black-haired assassin but to no avail getting knocked down by her opponent; as Akame sent a slash with medium force without any mercy.

The swordsman tried to get up and do a counter-attack but was also knocked down by Akame. Akame's opponents were shocked at this, and a girl with a ponytail suddenly cracked a bolt of lightning around her right hand.

She then launched it to Akame and got avoided by the assassin as she sent a counter-attack with her sword, causing the ponytail-haired girl to be knocked down and lie unconscious like the other two. Seeing this, the people that left behind then panicked even more. One of them stood and summoned a magical circle in front of her.

"Asia, get behind me!"

"Buchou…!"

The one is known as Asia, then hid behind the one that ordered her that. As Akame knew one of many weaknesses possessed by magicians that rely on long-range magic and magic circle, she didn't waste her time and charged faster to the magic user.

Clenched her grips to the sword, Akame swung another slash of her sword faster to the demonic magic user, but not that lethal as she tried to get her opponent to lie unconscious like others. Knowing that her opponent doesn't use any magic, the magic user realizes her mistake and gets knocked down by the heavy force used in the sword.

Seeing her comrade knocked down by one person, the one known as Asia trembling in fear as she was scared. She became frightened when Akame pointed the blade of her sword at the only person left of the group that attacked her.

"Let me ask you this. Who are you, people? Why did you attack me like that? If you don't answer, then I do not guarantee that you will be spared."

As Akame asked the girl known as Asia, a young girl with long blonde hair and green eyes. She seemed to be wearing a school uniform or sort of. But instead of answering, Asia is trembling in fear because she cannot say anything right and doesn't know what she answers that question.

"A-A…"

Red eyes stared at green eyes. The stare that Asia looked at right now made her so terrified that she looked at a murderer. Akame patiently waited, although she was a bit impatient for why she was getting attacked like that.

"Hey, come on. Answer my question."

Poking Asia's knee with the blunt side of her sword, Akame said that with a bit of impatience hinted on her tone. But that caused poor Asia to faint because her mentality could not handle it anymore.

A tired and disappointed sigh escaped Akame's mouth when seeing the reaction. She shook her head in disbelief since Akame couldn't have the answers she wanted from these people. Seems like she has to be less intimidating.

"Looks like I have to wait for it. It cannot be helped."

Sephie Michaela Deviluke currently had a dilemma. Since her youngest daughter, Momo Belia Deviluke, shows her a picture of a gorgeous woman… she has been having a weird feeling spark within her chest. Her cheeks suddenly felt hot, and a pink hue was visible on them. It's a nostalgic feeling she had been forgotten for years due to her super busy schedule to managing planet Deviluke and its kingdom.

The feeling of love. Romantical love between a couple. It's a feeling she had forgotten because her husband seemed not to care about her anymore because of his laziness. Gid Lucione Deviluke reverted to the worst man she had ever known; he became ruthless, violent, selfish, bratty, spoiled, and always chasing around pretty girls whenever he had the chance. He is also pretty demanding and strict to his daughters and causes his oldest daughter to run away from her home. Gid is also a very self-righteous and arrogant individual.

Sephie just slightly shook her head while rubbing her temple and sighing when thinking of that. She was very tired of her husband, and not only that, but the queen of Deviluke also became stressed even more due to the number of works she had to manage alone.

The pink-haired mother of three daughters doesn't know why she felt love for Eleonora when she saw the picture of her. Both are women, and a relationship between the same gender is not something that Sephie is familiar with. She does not hate or dislike it but is just confused about her own feeling because that kind of relationship isn't new in Deviluke as far as she knows.

Deciding to look again at the picture, she immediately blushed in embarrassment. She couldn't handle it and wondered if this was the feeling of anyone looking at her and instantly charmed, who was Charmian. Although only a few can resist it, almost everyone she sees is captivated by her since she is part of the Charmian race and clan.

Not only does Sephie have a beautiful voice, but she also uses it to bring out the good in people and stop conflicts between them using only her words. Charmian is considered the most attractive race. Any one of the opposite genders that look at Sephie's face will turn into a sexual beast since they cannot resist it no matter what. This also works on animals.

'She… she is beautiful… but not only her face, whenever I looked at her, but there is also an unknown feeling that made me so eager to meet her. As if it a longing feeling… as if we were separated from each other for a long time….'

She looked at the picture with a longing face. Her red eyes were drawn so deep onto it. Although it's weird for her to bear that kind of feeling to someone when she had already married Gid Lucione Deviluke, Sephie couldn't do anything to stop her feeling.

'I hope we meet soon….'

She thought with a hint of happiness on her face and her charming smile evident on her lips.

After returning from Kaori and Shizuku's world, Eleonora and her new lovers were immediately welcomed by her family when they arrived at the Pendragon's residence. Theodore and Yuuka saw the new lovers of their daughter and had different reactions. Her father sweatdrops while her mother smiled and mumbled "Oh my." with a beamed face.

When she saw this, Yuuka was expecting a lot of granddaughters from her daughter, Eleonora Pendragon, and Theodore already knew what his wife thought. Although it's the second reason why he sweatdrops. The first reason was he was amazed by how his daughter brought home new lovers with her.

'Elly is really trying to build a harem empire or sort. I just hope she's not tired and has enough time to divide among her so many lovers. But if she learned a time manipulation magic or something like that, she could manage her time so well.'

He let out a tired sigh as Theodore shook his head.

'Merlin's right. Elly's growth rate is awe-inspiring, and she was the most genius and talented individual so far. And the protagonists of many novels I've read aren't like her and still struggle a little in lives.'

But he flashed a smile on his lips. It's a happy and proud smile.

'Still, I'm happy with it. If Elly grew stronger every time, that's means she could protect those who are dear and precious to her. As a parent, it's one of the happiest moments for me to know about my children's growth.'

After welcoming the group, the residents of Pendragon's house learn about some things from Eleonora. The young bluenette told Aletia and her friends to train her lovers, who are civilians, to learn about combat. The golden blonde-haired vampire knows about that, so she immediately accepts the proposal to teach them combat techniques, magic, etc.

When finished, Yuuka arranged the rooms for Eleonora's new lovers to sleep in. They understand why Yuuka did that since Eleonora also deserves some privacy or space, but the young bluenette always welcomes her lovers to sleep with her.

All of that took them approximately two hours, and the evening had come. Knowing that everyone is then having dinner together, Eleonora's new lovers use this chance to deepen their relationships with the residents of this house. Significantly deepen the relationships with Theodore Pendragon and Yotsuba Yuuka.

As soon as the dinner ended, some of them then returned to their rooms while Eleonora, who was currently alone after her new lovers gave her a peck on her lips, sat on the couch of her home's living room. She is now doing nothing until her blue eyes catch someone in her sight.

"Gin-san. Good evening!"

Hearing her name being called, Gin blinked and noticed, then she responded to Eleonora in a friendly manner. A polite smile appears on Gin's face.

"Good evening too, Eleonora-san! Thank you again for housing me with everyone!"

She said that while bowing and thanked Eleonora. The young bluenette just waved off her hands to the grey-haired young girl.

"It's okay. We were happy to help you. I mean, I couldn't leave you alone like that, Gin-san. It will be dangerous."

Hearing this from Eleonora's sweet voice and words caused Gin to blush in embarrassment and excited for an unknown reason. That unknown reason made the grey-haired girl happy when Eleonora worried about her.

But she then brushes it off as Gin tries to calm herself to speak normally. She cleared her throat and spoke.

"But, still… I'm very grateful for that, Eleonora-san! Had you not done that, then I have no place to go. Heck, I didn't even know that an elementary student like me could get a job for a living. The others might be capable of doing that, but I will be a burden."

"Nonsense. You won't be a burden, and we are happy to help you. I'm also sure that Emilia-san and others would pay no mind to that if you decided to stay with them rather than us. But, I'm still happy that you were staying with us."

"…Eleonora-san."

"And Gin-san. I want to tell you something important."

This made Gin blink again, and her eyes filled with curiosity.

"What is that, Eleonora-san?"

""It's time for me to fulfill your wish and my promise to you."

Gin's eyes widened as she was shocked when she heard that from Eleonora. She became stuttered and asked the older girl in front of her.

"My wish… and your promise, do you mean… I can go home?"

Eleonora answered with a nod. Gin's eyes became teared up as she unconsciously buried her face to the young bluenette in front of her. Seeing this made Eleonora pat Gin's grey hair gently and softly, letting that former hero leaks out her tears that had been saved up.

After two minutes, Gin stopped crying and sobbing; she tried to wipe her tears. But then her cheeks suddenly hot in embarrassment as Gin remembered what she did to Eleonora and tried to apologize to her.

"S-Sorry about that, Eleonora-san! I don't know why I did that…."

But Eleonora was merely okay with that and shook her head.

"Don't mind it, Gin-san. I'm okay and help you, since we are friends, right?"

"Friend… right! Ah, once again, I'm wholeheartedly thank you from the bottom of my heart, Eleonora-san! I know that I am a bit impatient, but I'm thankful for it."

"You don't have to thank me yet. Anyway, we will go in a week from now, so we have enough time to prepare anything. You can also bring anything from this world to yours, Gin-san. I also want to know what kind of world you're living in before coming here."

Gin chuckled at that and nodded understandingly.

"Don't worry, Eleonora-san. I can bring you to meet with my friends back home."
