110 Chapter 110
Harry, Jessica, Eri, and the Nyaromon become grand guests in Castle Trodain and everyone in town and in the castle was happy to see both Harry and Jessica.
That didn't surprise the Trodain Royal Family though since both Jessica and Harry were considered heroes to the people of Trodain because of their part in defeating Raphtorn and lifting the curse that afflicted the castle at the time.
Hiro and Medea were happy to have their friends back and spent a lot of time talking to them about their lives in Harry's world and about the things they accomplished.
Hiro of course felt like a young man again and would often go around with Harry to get into trouble, they even went drinking once and got into a bar fight just for shits and giggles.
It was funny to Jessica and Medea to find both the King of Trodain and Harry drinking beer from on top of a big pile of drunk and unconscious thugs while laughing like maniacs.
Medea spent her time with Harry asking about his adventures and writing about them, she had told Harry how she wrote a book on their adventures and that she wanted to write more about his.
Harry agreed and told her of the worlds he visited, the people he met, and the adventures he had in deeper detail, and Medea wrote to her heart's content which was something Harry was always happy about.
Of course, Harry and Jessica visited old King Trode in his chambers who was over the moon to see them, in his retirement the old King of Trodain focused his now free time on experimenting with the alchemy pot something he grew very passionate about during their adventures.
Harry and Jessica sat down with him and talked about everything and anything with Old King Trode who was more than happy to listen to all of the adventures both of them had.
Of course, King Trode was happy about the treaty between the Yokai Faction and the Kingdom of Trodain and couldn't wait to go visit Harry's world and his big family.
Even more so since there will be a lot of new interesting ingredients for him to experiment with and that had him feeling all giddy with excitement.
Lily was very excited to not only have her godfather with her but Eri and her Aunty Jessica as well, there weren't any kids her age in the castle and the older kids didn't want to play with her because she was the princess.
So she spent a lot of time alone and training with both her magic and swordplay but it was boring and lonely to do so all the time which is why she would go out of the castle looking for adventure.
But now? Now she had Eri with her who she thinks is super awesome with all the magic spells she can cast and for how strong she is despite being younger than her.
Her Aunty Jessica was just as awesome to her and was even teaching her some mid to advance magic which was great, her mommy is a good teacher but she focuses on healing and buffs and didn't have a lot to teach Lily about offensive magic.
So the young Princess of Trodain was very happy to be able to learn offensive magic from a master mage like her Aunty Jessica.
Then came her godfather who despite always being busy with the portal or with the people of Trodain always spend time with her, she didn't know how he did it but no matter the time or place he would always be ready to spend time with her.
Not that she minded because its exactly how she had always dreamed about having her godfather around, spending time with her godfather, Harry was as awesome as she had thought.
Especially with how he would teach her and practice with her, she noticed that his sword style was very dynamic instead of the 'very root yourself on one spot' style of her father and that had her very interested in it.
She felt it matched her better so she asked her godfather to teach her and to her surprise and happiness, he agreed.
In order to learn to fight and move like him she had to be able to think, react and move on the spot while keeping herself in constant motion, it wasn't easy and she hasn't gotten good at it yet but she did feel more comfortable with this.
Its been a few days since her godfather, Aunty Jessica, and Eri had arrived and she was having a lot of fun plus learning a lot too.
Today though she was watching her godfather work on the portal to his world with rapt attention, she didn't know what her godfather was doing but it was impressive nonetheless.
It didn't feel like magic and it certainly wasn't anything simple either, whatever her godfather was doing was something else entirely and her instincts were telling her that it was dangerous so she quietly stared.
However, she was snapped out of her thoughts when something or rather someone poked her back surprising her a lot "Kyahhh!".
She turned around while holding her her chest in fright only to see Eri smiling sheepishly at her "Eri! You almost scared the dragon soul out me!".
Eri softly giggled and waved her hands in front of her in surrender "Sorry Lily! You were just very distracted watching daddy work that you didn't hear me call out to you so I wanted to know what caught your attention so strongly".
Lily sighed and then smiled at Eri "Oh! I was just curious about what Papa Harry is doing, it doesn't feel like magic or anything I've ever felt before but my instincts are telling me that is very dangerous".
Eri nodded and smiled at Lily "Ah! I see, well your instincts are very right because what Daddy is doing is manipulating the very concept of space and time to both link and synchronize this world with our home world".
Lily tilted her head in confusion and tried to piece together what Eri just told her but in her mind, she just couldn't understand everything she was just told "Concept?".
Eri crossed her arms and hummed "Conceptual control of something means having complete control of the nature of that concept, it goes beyond anything magic can do or so that's how Mommy Luna explained it, I don't get it very well either but Morgan and Hope do! I think".
Lily smiled at her friend's efforts to help her understand "I see, it must be very powerful... I wonder if anyone can learn to control concepts?".
Harry stopped what he was doing and suddenly a gap in the very fabric of space and time opened up in front of him signaling that the portal was ready, Harry smiled and nodded to himself and then turned towards both girls "Having control over a concept is usually something only gods and some supernatural beings can do".
Both Lily and Eri turned around to face Harry, Lily hummed and nodded "Ah, I see so it's something far beyond a human's ability to use... it sounds very complicated".
Harry grinned at his goddaughter and nodded "It is and sure humans could learn to do it but their minds, souls, and bodies wouldn't be able to handle it".
Lily tilted her head "Is it like using the Kamikaze spell?".
Harry hummed "Something like that though with the Kamikaze spell you can still be brought back to life, if a human tries to control a concept it would slowly destroy their soul and body, there's no coming back from that".
Lily nodded, while Harry patted her head "In any case, I'm done here so the portal is ready, now we can go to Alexandria and visit Jessica's mom".
Both Eri and Lily cheered happy that they get to finally go on a journey, Harry chuckled at them and began to walk towards the room's massive gates "Come on! Let's go see if we can sneak a snack before breakfast but let's try not letting Medea know! Last time she scolded us for an hour".
The girls grinned and nodded, sneaking a snack from the kitchen was fun because they had to be careful not the got caught by Medea and the cook.
-----
After successfully getting some pastries as snacks with help of Harry's invisibility cloak, Harry and the girls went outside to enjoy their hard-earned snacks.
Lily suddenly looked around as she ate her pastry and then raised an eyebrow "Hey Eri? Where are the Nyaromon? I haven't seen them all day now that I think about it".
Lily smiled and took out her smartphone and turned it on, she then showed it to Lily who grabbed it and took a curious look at the screen where she saw the Nyaromon peacefully sleeping.
She smiled at them since she quite like the little guys but she was curious about the weird white and red plate Eri handed to her, she inspected the plate but didn't recognize it "What's this?".
Harry smiled and let Eri answer Lily's question "Oh! It's a Smartphone! It's a piece of technology that lets you do all kinds of things, like communicating with people from long distances, it can even play music and take pictures~".
Lily tilted her head and stared at the smartphone "Wow~ this Smartphone seems very useful, it must be a precious magical artifact but how did the Nyaromon get inside?".
Harry smiled "That's because of the nature of the Nyaromon, they're creatures made out of something called data and this data can easily be transferred into things like smartphones, we'll teach you all about it when you visit our world".
Lily looked down at the smartphone in her hand and smiled "I can't wait!".
After having their snack they all went to talk with Hiro, Medea, and Jessica who were in the throne room speaking about some random things, the three of them smiled as they saw Harry step inside the throne room with Eri and Lily following close behind.
Hiro smiled seeing Lily's happy smile on her face, he was glad that his daughter seemed to be having a lot of fun lately.
He had always worried that Lily was too lonely or bored with life in the castle, he himself and Medea had also felt very bored living in Trodain Castle until Harry came into their lives and brought fun and excitement to it.
Medea stood up from her throne and walked up to the girls and then gave them a big hug, Eri and Lily were very happy to return the hug with smiles on their faces while Hiro, Jessica, and Harry smiled at them.
Harry then turned towards Hiro and grinned "I finished the portal so you guys can now travel between Trodain Castle and the Potter Household, I also contacted Yasaka and she will be coming over soon so you can sign the treaty".
Hiro smiled "Sounds great, I'll have the place for the general portal picked soon so you can create one to connect Kyoto and Trodain".
Harry nodded "Sounds good though we're going to have to do things slowly so we don't overwhelm the people of Trodain, everything in Neo Kyoto is very advance and the people are kinda wild...".
Hiro grinned "That doesn't even surprise me" Harry's eyebrow twitched knowing that comment from Hiro was a jab at him, Hiro however just went on "But I agree with you, I'll make sure to slowly let the change come so everyone can get accustomed to all the new things Neo Kyoto has to offer"
Harry nodded, Jessica, crossed her arms and smiled "And don't be afraid to ask for help Hiro, as allies we take care of our own, anything you need just let us know and I'm sure anyone in the Potter Household will more than happy to help you".
Hiro smiled while Harry nodded and spoke up "I have already let everyone know so all you need to do is step over and ask for help if you need it, even if I'm not available anyone that is should be able to handle whatever you need".
Hiro nodded "Thank you guys, that means a lot! Even though things are we peace right now, we know all to well that it can change at any time".
Harry and Jessica nodded knowing full well the truth behind Hiro's words, Medea then spoke up "So you guys will be leaving for Alexandria soon right?".
Harry nodded "Yes, then we'll see if we can find Yangus and Red to see how they're doing after that we'll visit Angelo to check up on him, along the way we will visit some old friends since we have sometime before I have to go back and deal with some stuff".
Medea nodded and turned her head towards her daughter "I bet you're excited right Lily?".
Lily excitedly nodded "Yeah! I get to travel around, fight all kinds of monsters, and have adventures with Aunty, Eri, and Papa Harry!".
Everyone smiled at the young Princess of Trodain and her excitement, Harry then hummed "You're going to need new equipment since your sword was destroyed from using the Avan Strash".
Lily frowned and nodded "Yeah... every time I use it my sword keeps getting destroyed, I was planning of buying another one tomorrow...".
Harry smiled and shook his head "From what I read in the Dragovian Archives, the Avan Strash is a very powerful technique and requires a magic conducting sword in order to use it, even more so for you since you're using an incomplete form that is all power and energy".
Everyone listened intently to what Harry was saying about such a legendary sword technique, Harry crossed his arms "Especially since you're a dragovian, a descendant of the Dragon Knights".
Medea gasped and Hiro gaped "Wait! You mean to tell me that the dragovians are descendants of the Dragon Knights!?".
Harry nodded "Back then as a full dragovian myself, I wanted to learn everything about our history so after the trials of the dragonvian lord I was given access to the archives and investigated... Dragon Knights, beings created by the Goddess, beings with the heart of a human, the power of a dragon and the magic of a demon... beings created to keep the balance of the world".
Everyone listened with rapt attention to Harry speaking about something that was a legend to them "There's not much information about the Dragon Knights only that at first there was only meant to be only one in existence but that Dragon Knight fell in love and had a child with a human, this child inherited the powers of the dragon and later went to save the world, the dragovians are the evolved descendants of that child".
Medea was in awe at the information they all just got "Incredible...".
Hiro gaped and turned towards Lily, Harry noticed and smiled "I see you noticed, there's a reason Lily came out more dragovian than you did, in fact, her dragonic blood should have been far more diluted but instead, she was born incredibly powerful for someone her age".
Lily tilted her head while everyone stared at her, Harry smiled "Lily is this generation's Dragon Knight, the first one in many, many centuries".
Everyone gaped at Lily who seemed very confused but Harry walked up to her and patted her head "Don't worry about getting a sword Lily, I'm going to make you one, one that will be able to handle your growing abilities it will be my gift to you for all those birthdays I missed but I'm going to have to get some materials first so wait okay?".
Lily nodded and smiled at her godfather while Hiro and Medea stared at their daughter in awe, they knew their little girl was special but this was something else entirely.
-----
The next couple of days were a bit busy for the royal family of Trodain, now that the portal was fully operational many members of the Potter Household began to come over to meet their new neighbors.
Medea was over the moon about the fact that she now had plenty of new women friends now that she met Harry's girlfriends and the wives of his friends.
As a queen, she didn't get to have a lot of friends, especially since many of the women in Trodain were intimidated by her status but now she had a lot of friends to talk and gossip with.
She even met girls from other worlds like Hinata and Masaki who were also mothers and she could talk to them about things like that.
Hiro met the boys, and instantly got along with them, the men of the Potter Household and friends were happy to have a new bro to hang out with and Hiro felt the same as well.
But the happiest of them all was Lily who got to meet the many young children of the Potter Household along with Harry's students, her new friends Morgan and Hope were the most interesting of them all, and the fact that they were close to her age and were already very powerful made them very cool in her eyes.
So of course Lily was very happy to have a lot of friends now, people that care about her even with the fact that they just met.
Each and every person she met accepted her and treated her like family, sure she was very surprised that many of them weren't human but she came to love everyone nonetheless.
While her godfather worked on making her sword she got to play and even train with all the young members of the Potter Household, they even taught her some very cool magic spells and techniques.
Harry was going back and forth between Kyoto, the Potter Household, and the World of Light gathering materials to forge Lily's new sword, he even went to the dragovian hometown to get a copy of the dragovian sword schematics.
After a while and getting all the materials he wanted to use to create the sword, Harry got to work forging a new dragovian sword for Lily, he even used his strongest dragon breath in the forging along one of his scales.
It took a while to melt the metal and even more his scale in order to make an ingot to forge with but in the end, it was done and Harry got to work, it took him a week in a time dilation ward to forge the sword.
But after it was done he named it the Dragovian God Sword, his scale had made the sword a legendary rank weapon.
Harry smiled and swung it around a couple of times to test the balance, he smiled as he felt that it was very well balanced and then brought it to his face to inspect it.
He grinned as his Rinnegan picked up his energy around the sword, his scale had imbued the sword with his energy and made it extra conductive and indestructible.
Harry nodded to himself and then walked out of the Potter Household lab while putting the sword into his inventory and immediately headed to the portal room, once there he walked into the portal leading to Trodain Castle and went to look for Lily.
He sensed her somewhere outside the castle walls along with Eri so he took off flying and flew out of a window.
It didn't take him long to find the girls, Harry found them beating a few monsters outside.
The Dragon God felt a little bad for the poor slimes and jailcats the girls poked to death but he guessed that they were bored and decided to do some grinding.
Harry landed behind them as Lily finished a big group of slimes, Eri noticed her daddy's arrival and smiled at him as soon as he landed.
Harry smiled at his daughter while Lily turned around and saw her godfather, she brightly smiled as well and excitedly waved as Harry walked up to them "Hey girls, seems like you got bored huh?".
Lily nervously laughed "Ah! It's just... I'm used to always training and since I had to wait for my new sword I felt a bit restless!".
Harry chuckled and gave Lily a head pat "Well you don't have to wait any longer, I'm done!".
Harry took out the Dragovian God Sword and handed it to Lily who took it with an awed expression on her face "This looks like the sword dad hung over his bed in his room!".
Harry grinned "Ah so that's what he did with his dragovian sword".
Lily tilted her head "Dragovian sword?".
Harry nodded and then smiled at Lily "You've visited the Dragovian Sanctuary right?".
Lily nodded "Yup~ me and dad visit Grampa Munchie all the time!".
Harry chuckled at the way Lily addressed her great-grandfather, back then it was a big surprise that the little fire-breathing mouse named Munchie that Hiro had as a pet was his grandfather all along "And have you met the Dragovian Lord?".
Lily nodded "Yeah! He's a little stiff but he's always been nice to me whenever I asked him if I could read something from the library".
Harry smiled happy that the dragovians seemed to have changed from the way they used to be, he still remembers how mad he was when he found out what had happened to Hiro's parents and the fact that they cursed Hiro to lock his memories away.
But it seems that they have come a long way since then, so Harry smiled at Lily "When your father and I arrived in the Dragovian Sanctuary and met the Dragovian Lord we decided to go through some trials to earn our place among the dragovians, your father gained the Dragovian Sword while I gained a set of armor".
Lily looked down at her new sword "... Do I have to take a trial too, and what was it?".
Harry grinned at Lily which made her tilt her head in curiosity "You already did! The trial requires you to fight a Dragovian Lord in his dragon form".
Lily's eyes widen in surprise "Eh? but... I didn't beat you, Papa Harry!".
Harry grinned at Lily "You fought a Dragon God in his dragon form with no hesitation and gave it your all, that's enough for me to say that you passed the trial".
Lily smiled at Harry and gave him a hug, Eri happily watched her new friend receive a cool sword as a gift, too bad that she wasn't interested in swords otherwise she might have asked for one like Lily's.
Harry let go of Lily and then smiled at both her and Eri "With this, we're ready to go to Alexandria so I've been thinking that we should start our little journey tomorrow".
Lily and Eri fist-pumped and loudly cheered, both of them have been looking forward to making the trip to Alexandria and seeing a little of this world.
Harry grinned at both girls who seemed very excited "Let's go back girls, we have to let Jessica, Hiro, and Medea know about our trip tomorrow".
Both girls nodded and jumped on Harry who swiftly caught them and laughed a bit, he then walked back to the castle with both girls in his arms while they both excitedly talked about what sort of things they would see on their journey.
-----
A few minutes later they got together with the King and Queen of Trodain along with Jessica and Harry told them that they were ready to make their journey to Alexandria, both Hiro and Medea were happy that Lily was finally going to go and see a bit of the world.
The fact that she would be going with Harry and Jessica eased their worries as well, they both knew that they could trust their friends to make sure that Lily was safe.
That night both Lily and Eri went to sleep early to wake up at dawn to start their journey while Harry and Jessica spent one more night hanging out with Hiro and Medea.
The next morning the party of four left Castle Trodain after many hugs and goodbyes from the townspeople and Hiro and Medea.
Lily and Eri were very excited and ran around all over the place while they walked the roads towards their first destination, Farebury.
Harry and Jessica let the girls deal with the monsters knowing that there was nothing too dangerous in this region and even though the girls were having fun defeating countless slimes, satyrs, bunicorns, and mecha-mynahs they eventually got bored.
Which meant very bad things for the poor monsters especially when it comes to Eri who liked to mess around with her magic a lot, at some point some slimes got enough and merged together to create a king slime.
Lily was very surprised because that was the first time she had ever seen slimes do that but Eri was very awed and interested in the king slime, especially it's crown.
Eri took one look at the crown and decided that she wanted it and so the poor king slime was whacked over the head by a very enthusiastic Eri until it finally passed away to the safety of the afterlife.
For the rest of the trip to Farebury Eri walked around with a king slime crown on her head while Lily vowed to never get Eri angry and to hide her tiara, just in case.
-----
They arrived in Farebury a little after noontime and Lily was very excited to look around a town she had never been to, both Harry and Jessica were more than happy to let the girls look around while Harry and she visited some old friends.
Harry went to visit the the great fortune teller Kalderasha and his daughter Valentina to see how they were doing, he was surprised to find out that Kalderasha had retired and that Valentina was now the famous fortune teller.
Of course, both of them were happy to see Harry again and spent the next few hours speaking about everything that had been going on in their life.
Meanwhile, Eri and Lily walked around the town and visited everything that caught their interest, they even went into the shops to see what they had for sale.
Even though they only had basic wares in stock the girls still had fun looking at the armor, weapons, and items they had for sale, Lily certainly had fun explaining to Eri what the items did as well.
The store clerks were certainly happy watching both adorable little girls having a lot of fun and watched with smiles on their faces as they laughed and checked whatever item they could.
The girls even visited the little church in town, Eri was reminded of the Healing Temples in both Kyoto and Kuoh, especially with what the Church offers as services.
Lily curiously looked around since she had never seen a church this small before while Eri confessed to the small young nun who looked rather disturbed by what Eri was telling her.
After that they decided they had enough and went to look for Jessica and Harry who to their surprise were already waiting for them outside the church, both girls smiled at them happy to not have to go looking for them.
Lily and Eri then grabbed one of Harry's hands each, and that made Harry smile at them "Did you girls have fun?".
Both Lily and Eri nodded and began to tell Harry everything they did while Jessica just fondly smiled at them as they cheerfully told Harry about the shops and the little church they visited.
After a little walking they stopped at the pub in town to have something to eat, it was the first time the girls had gone to a place so noisy and rowdy but found it very fun, the bunny girl working as a maid gushed at how cute both girls looked.
Since both Eri and Lily were wearing their battle gear they both looked like mini adventurers and that made them adorable to many not that the girls minded the attention.
It certainly was a fun time eating at a pub and they even hung around the people there who were cheered up by the adorable girls, Eri even arm-wrestled a few guys in the pub only to come out as the new arm wrestling champion of the pub.
Afterward, they all stepped outside and Harry looked up at the sky "Hmm we have some time still, is there something you girls would like to do?".
Eri and Lily crossed their arms and hummed as they thought about what they wanted to do next, they certainly had a lot of fun today but they wanted a little more excitement, Lily then remembered what her dad had told her about his adventures "Ah! I remember dad told me about a cave around here!".
Harry tilted his head and thought about what Hiro might have been referring to "Oh! He must have been talking about Waterfall Cave!".
Lily nodded excitedly and hopped from foot to foot "Can we go and check it out! It's been years so maybe we'll find something new there!".
Harry turned his head towards Jessica who smiled and nodded "I don't see why not, afterwards we can camp out and leave for Alexandria early in the morning".
Harry grinned and nodded to Jessica, he then turned his head towards Lily and Eri "Then let's go and check it out".
The girls cheered and then the party of four left the town of Farebury, it didn't take them long to reach the cave since Harry still remembered where it was and once they arrived all of them went inside.
It came as a surprise to Harry that the cave was now flooded enough to reach the girls' knees, Jessica frowned a bit "... I'm sensing a powerful monster deep in this cave".
Harry nodded "Yeah... I can tell something is going on here, this cave wasn't flooded eleven years ago in this world".
Suddenly Harry saw a man o'war and a king kelp roaming around "Those are sea monsters too... something is definitely wrong here".
Jessica nodded while both Eri and Lily looked around, Suddenly from the water, a trio of wild boarfish jumped at the group, Lily reacted quickly and cut two of them down with a Falcon Slash.
While Eri batted the other one with her staff which was sent flying until it crashed against the head of the king kelp killing both monsters.
Lily scratched her head and looked around "I've never seen nor fought monsters like these before but they aren't that tough..." Eri nodded in agreement since she herself didn't see them as a threat.
Harry smiled at the girls "Well these types of monsters are only found in areas close to the ocean and of course, these monsters aren't tough for you girls but to the people of the Farebury continent these monsters are very dangerous".
Lily widen her eyes since she had forgotten about Farebury "Ah! The town is too close to this cave!".
Jessica nodded "That's right... if this cave continues to flood then all of these monsters will eventually reach outside and Farebury won't be able to handle it, they aren't used to fighting these types of monsters".
Eri nodded and then walked up front "then we have to fix this, we can't just leave the situation like this!".
Harry smiled at Eri and gave her a head pat which made her happily smile, the Dragon God nodded and then grinned "Well looks like adventure found us! Lily you and Eri will be upfront, Jessica and I will help if needed but I think you can both handle it just fine".
Lily brightly smiled and nodded "Leave it to us, Papa Harry!" Eri nodded while Lily drew her Dragovian God Sword "Anything we should know about these monsters?".
Harry and Jessica smiled proudly at Lily glad that she had asked for information, Harry then answered her question "Sea-type monsters specialize in status conditions like paralysis and poison plus they're physically inclined when attacking though some have some very potent magic mostly ice or water magic though".
Lily nodded and looked around with a frown "I think it's best not to use lightning magic in here..." Lily then turned towards Eri "I know the healing spells, Tingle for paralysis, and Squelch for Poisoning, and you Eri?".
Eri hummed "I'm very good with healing magic, I even know a few resurrection spells so you can leave the healing and long-range support to me, you focus on attacking!".
Lily grinned and nodded, Jessica then took out a shield with a beautiful goddess engraved into it and handed it to Lily "Here, I had this made for you".
Lily took the beautiful shield and awe at it, Harry smiled and then turned his head towards Jessica "So that's what you've been working with King Trode!".
Lily grinned and nodded "Yup! It took a bit of work getting the materials for the alchemy pot but since I knew where to find most of them it didn't take me that long".
Lily looked up at Jessica and smiled at her "Thank you, Aunty Jessica!".
Jessica ruffled Lily's hair and grinned at her "You're very much welcome dear, you needed a good shield to go with your new sword so your granddad and I worked on that, it's called a goddess shield and it will half the damage of any fire or ice based attack coming at you".
Lily's eyes widen in awe, she quickly equipped her new shield and moved it around a bit, and she was once again surprised when the shield didn't weigh anything to her.
Harry, Jessica, and Eri smiled at Lily as the little Princess of Trodain looked mighty proud with her new equipment, she nodded to herself and then grinned "Alright! Let's find out what's going in this cave!".
