"Yeah, so now I'm married to 3 women." Diluc explained to Inko and Momo. Momo had a smile on her face while his mother was completely pale. She was about to scold him heavily until she saw that Momo was completely fine with it.

"Momo dear, do you not mind that he has multiple women?" Inko cautiously asked Momo.

"Not at all mother-in-law!" She said excitedly.

"I'LL KILL YOU!!!" The T.V. shouted. Father Yaoyorozu was 'facetiming' them through the T.V. and this piece of information infuriated him.

"Why are you so mad dad? You said that pro heroes had multiple partners!" Momo defended her husband while flailing her arms.

"I MEANT SIDEKICKS!!!" The T.V. once again shouted. Momo finally understood what he meant as she looked over to Diluc who was currently facing the consequences of his own actions.

"Ohhhh. Well anyway, it's fine. Diluc won't throw me away, right?" She puppy-eyed Diluc. He pet her head in response.

"Of course not. But I don't plan on throwing them away either." Diluc explained. She nodded with a large smile on her face.

"YOU BASTARD!!!" The T.V. once again shouted. However, before he could order his men to kill a 5-year-old, another voice originated from the T.V.

"You old coot! Stop antagonizing the boy. She already agreed to it so why are you mad? Plus, they married completely accidentally. If you try to do anything to the boy, I assure you I'll castrate you myself!" Mother Yaoyorozu's voice sounded out. Father Yaoyorozu didn't speak again today.

"Uhhh. Two more things, it might be possible to summon them here and I'll probably need to marry another in order to end everything in that world." Diluc explained. Father Yaoyorozu was about to go berserk again when he felt the hand on death on his shoulder, he looked to his side to find his wife looking at him like cattle. He no longer felt angry, just terrified.

"Thank you for being truthful darling, may you try and summon them?" Mother Yaoyorozu asked politely. Diluc nodded in response. His justification for thinking so was that he could summon anything he formed a bond with, anything that entered his inventory instantly formed a bond with him until he had sold it. Perhaps marriage was a form of bond?

Diluc concentrated for a second and felt a pulse coming from his head much like a headache, it intensified more and more until finally... it stopped. He opened his eyes to find both Yuria and Katherine atop a white soapstone.

Both were quite confused as to where they were until they looked at Diluc who was in the body of a 5-year-old.

They simply sat down next to him and didn't talk; they didn't know the situation after all.

Thus, more explanations ensued. By the end of it, everyone knew everyone. Momo was excited to see her husband's other wives for some reason? Inko was glad to see that her son was getting so much love and Father Yaoyorozu was fuming although he couldn't do anything out of fear from his wife.

Both Yuria and Katherine were confused by the new technology but were doing their best to learn. Izuku was shocked when he got home from school to see that his brother was absent because he had yet 2 more wives so, he was shocked into unconsciousness again. Diluc had to lay him down on his bed.

Finally, night came and Diluc, Yuria and Katherine went to bed. Both Yuria and Katherine suggested that they simply get unsummoned so they wouldn't take up space on the bed but Diluc couldn't take that for an answer and told then to sleep with him.

Thankfully, the bed was large enough to fit the two busty women and a 5-year-old who enjoyed the being only millimeters to some very attractive women. Unfortunately, he was still young and could not do much about his increasing excitement.

Before he fell into unconsciousness, he noticed that the wrist that he slit to entertain Himiko has since healed. He wasn't sure when it had happened, it just did. Regardless, he went to sleep.

Going back to firelink shrine, he found that Yuria and Katherine were also standing there. It seems that Yuria would remain standing by the firekeeper's side from now on.

He also noticed that although Yuria was married to him, she still wasn't really in love with him which makes sense considering she married him after speaking to him once. Diluc surmised that the decision was more to join Katherine as a long-lost friend and pledging allegiance to him than actually wanting to spend the rest of her life with him.

Diluc made his way to the Road of Sacrifices utilizing the elevator that confused Seigward. Going downstairs, he found a large knight that was on all fours and that wielded a frosty long sword.

Diluc completely ignored this fight and simply ran past the knight with many estus flasks in his hands, the knight got many stabs and slashes off while Diluc was opening the door but it did nothing to stop him from chugging the estus flasks.

He opened the door and sprinted to the bonfire which he promptly lit and rested at. The mini boss had completely disappeared and Diluc was free to continue, which he didn't. He spent the next 10 minutes killing the mini boss.

Unfortunately, it was just a lesser version of Vordt, and could not provide a challenge in the slightest. Diluc had obtained a frosty sword that he'd never use and a handful of souls.

Nevertheless, he continued down the road of sacrifices. The bird people gave him no challenge and he continued to mow through them, the only damage they could do to him is their blood making him want to go have a shower and throw the clothes in a washing machine.

Finally, he arrived at the Halfway Fortress. Inside the shattered building laid a bonfire and two people hardly moving.

Diluc lit the bonfire and went to introduce himself to his future wife.

"Oh, hello. How do you do? I am Anri of Astora. Unkindled, like you. This is Horace, a friend and travelling companion. Are you too in search of the Lords of Cinder? We are well along the road of sacrifices. Below us is the Crucifixion Woods. Beyond the flooded woods lies Farron Keep, home of the Undead Legion. Further yet is the Cathedral of the Deep. We seek the cathedral, home of the grim Aldrich. We may go our separate ways now, but we are both seekers of lords. The next time we cross paths, one may find the other in a time of need. May the flames guide your way." She spoke.

"I pray we meet again soon Anri, there are not many allies in this place after all." Diluc spoke as he left. Now Diluc has to go all the way to fight the Weakons of the Deep, although he wasn't sure how difficult it'd be when they were all more intelligent than the original game.

However, first was the swamp and the Crystal Sage. Making his way down to the Crucifixion Woods, he found that once again, everything wanted him dead. He made his way to the first bonfire and rested there; he knew he didn't have enough time to kill the Crystal Sage so he simply went back to the firelink Shrine where he conversed with both Yuria and Katherine.

"Yuria, can I ask a question?" Diluc asked if he could ask a question as he asked a question.

"Yes?"

"How did you learn of the process to usurp the flames?" He questioned.

"Ah, you remember when I spoke of both Katherine and I learning how to be firekeepers? My teacher decided that I was unfit to be a firekeeper and instead started to teach me how to give it to someone worthy. It was a backup if it got too weak to link once again." Yuria explained.

"I see... Then how do you think I am worthy?" He asked.

"Many reasons. Firstly, you are after the same thing as us, getting to the flame through the use of the souls of the previous lords of cinder. Secondly, you are quite determined, that determination will breed skill through time. And lastly, Katherine wouldn't marry someone she isn't sure will become someone great." Yuria further explained.

"Awww, Katherine, I didn't know you loved me so much." Diluc leans on her as he tries to tease her.

"If I didn't love you so much, I wouldn't have married you." She responds bluntly.

"Touche." He replies.

"What does that mean?" Both Yuria and Katherine blurted out at the same time.

"It's a word used by the people in my world." Diluc then goes onto explain various slang to the both of them who both looked appalled by how crass the slang was.

After explaining so much to the two girls, all three of them were woken up by Diluc's alarm.

Although they were surprised, he had explained the function of it before they had gone to sleep, just as he explained the fan that they were originally cautious of.

He had woken up sandwiched in between the breasts of the two girls and couldn't help but tear up.

'This decade needs to go by faster.'
