In his next fight with the dancer, Diluc blitzed past the first phase without much difficulty.

Now came the moment of truth. Instead of beating on her after he dodged an attack or when he got an opening, Diluc danced around the arena.

This by no means that he looked graceful in the slightest, his dancing skills were as proficient as his flying skills, needless to say, he wasn't very good at it. The only redeeming feature of this dance was the fact that he still was very attractive.

His dancing was akin to a shark trying to walk backwards. Not only could sharks not walk, some can't swim backwards and they would also suffocate. Diluc was terrible at what he was doing.

However, dancing got him in the shoes of the dancer, when she would attack, he would dodge. When she would prance around waiting for Diluc to make a move, he would skip around like a magikarp.

Soon, Diluc's life was lost when he spun during his dance and the dancer used the opportunity to decapitate him. Perhaps showing your back to the enemy wasn't a good choice.

Diluc woke up in a cold sweat, the blade of the dancer was approaching his chest before he was taken out of Dark Souls. Even if he had experienced death more times than anyone else, his body was still scared of it even if he found comfort in it.

Diluc woke up not any stronger but definitely a much better dancer.

The next couple of night were the exact same, Diluc trying to dance and the dancer killing him for being stupid and not fighting.

Momo returned during this period of time as well. Not by greeting him at the front door, but by jumping on him while he was sleeping. She got a handful of tickles for her crimes.

Eventually, the 6th night of fighting dancer, he comprehended her bullshit melody. His dancing experienced an explosive growth, which would be useful in exactly zero situations.

He still lost all of the battles that night, but he got increasing closer every time he swung Fume in time with the melody.

(A.N. From now on, I'll use 'Fume' and 'Farron' as names rather than saying 'Fume UGS' or 'Farron Great Sword.)

The dancer has taught him something extremely important; dancing is OP. Not only can he now strike at completely unexpected times with a sword as tall and big as himself, he can follow the momentum of his strikes to both become faster as well as reduce stamina cost.

His dancing still looks very weird as it is utilized for dancing with a great sword in his hand but it was very effective.

When he woke that morning, he was quite surprised. Momo, who had usually worn pajamas to bed, had instead chosen a shirt and panties. Seeing the small smirks on Yuria and Kath who had woken with him, he knew that it was their schemes to 'teach' Momo.

"Are you really trying to sexualize a child?" Diluc asked the two of them.

"Hmm? I saw a show on the T.V. that did the same, is it not allowed? She must be ready to be a wife for you anyways." Yuria responded. She had seen a certain 'show' on the T.V... There could only be one that she was talking about.

"No, that show is disgusting to everyone who was born in this century. I don't care if you teach Momo about sex, since she'll need to learn about it at some point but don't sexualize her until she's of age. The only reason I allow you two to do sexual thing with me is because I have a higher mental age anyway." Diluc explained.

"Got it, darling." Kath responded. She then hugged him even more than she had previously. Not to be outmatched, Yuria did the same.

"I assume you heard 'darling' off the T.V. as well?" Diluc asked with a grin.

Kath's smile answered it all. Momo woke up after hearing the conversations between Diluc and Kath. Thankfully, she didn't hear the contents of the conversation, only that they were talking.

"Good morning." Diluc spoke. Instead of replying, Momo shoved her head back into his chest. Instead of commenting, Diluc simply laid his head back down on his pillow and closed his eyes. Kath and Yuria followed suite and went back to sleep.

Having a good sleep-in every once in a while, is fine.

The second they woke again, Momo and Diluc rushed to get ready for school, they would be late if they took their time.

Speeding to the school was fun for Momo. Feeling the air on her face while she was getting a piggyback from Diluc was refreshing, especially after being away from him for so long.

Along the way, Diluc almost got reincarnated a second time when he bypassed a green light as a pedestrian and a truck almost ran him over. Of course, he simply jumped over it. He would've gotten away with it scot-free if it wasn't for his aching eardrums after Momo screamed in his ears during the almost-crash.

Finally, they made it to school. They sat down the second the bell rang. Diluc instantly went to sleep while Momo got out her book from her bag and sat down, ready to learn absolutely nothing.

It was quite inspiring to see someone so excited for nothing.

Thankfully, Izuku had left far earlier than both Momo and Diluc, so he was waiting for them at his seat.

After the painful lesson ended, Himiko approached the couple.

"Hey Diluc and Momo! Do you wanna come over again today?" Himiko asked with excitement. Once again, she ignored Izuku and treated him like he didn't exist, but he'd long since gotten used to being ignored.

Both Momo and Diluc looked each other in the eye and responded.

"Sure."
