Chapter 4 - Part 2 - Jealousy, Momo and Back to Ireland*

Skyward Household

Jin Skyward

Grayfia and I arrived in my room and she quickly got rid of her clothes. While she did that, I put a time and sound barrier around the room. The moonlight that was illuminating the room shone on her naked body and it was quite a sight to behold. I also take off my shir—

Shing!

"Magical girl Levi— W-W-W-W-Why the heck is Grayfia-chan naked?!"

Serafall had arrived via teleportation circle, did a pose and then had a look of horror on her face. This was such an absurd situation that I began to laugh—

Smack!

"…Sorry."

However, it was short lived since Grayfia smacked me on the head and glared at Serafall making her flinch. Grayfia points at the ground and Serafall immediately shifts into the seiza position. Her head was down and she looked apologetic.

"And what might you be doing here, Serafall-sama?"

Grayfia asked in a slightly irritated tone making the magical girl flinch.

"I-I-I-I wanted to see Jin! It's been so long since I last saw him! I even gave So-tan a letter to give to him since my phone broke! B-B-B-But I didn't think I would come here to find you two about to have s-s-s-sex!!"

Serafall was still clearly flustered by the whole thing. Grayfia put a hand on her head and sighed heavily. However, before she could speak, Serafall continued.

"Now that I'm here, let me join in too!"

""...""

Both of us were left utterly speechless, but without missing a beat, Serafall completely stripped naked too. When she was showing off her body while doing poses to entice me, I felt my lips twitch, but my lower half responded as well.

I glance at Grayfia and she nods. I'm not against it, and my time with Serafall in the Greeks' realm, in a way counts as a date too, right? We also messed around there but got interrupted by Ares attacking Valerie.

"I don't mind, Sera, I mean if you're one hundred percent sure of it."

"No, problem!"

She said that in English and gave me a thumbs up. I shrug my shoulders and completely strip naked too.

Lemon Start

"Well, since you asked for it, Sera."

Grayfia gave me the go ahead, and didn't mind waiting. I'll make sure to completely exhaust Serafall after her first time. This may sound selfish, but I want to spoil my maid a little bit before I continue with you, Sera…

Fwosh ~

"Hyah?!"

I appeared behind Serafall and picked her up

"You're first."

"E-Ehhh?!"

Grayfia strolled over to the large bed and sat on it with her eyes closed. I jumped onto the bed and put Serafall down. She looked up at me nervously. No, she was looking at my erection nervously.

"…It's not the first time I saw it but it's still intimidating to see it like this…"

She muttered. That's true, there have been many occasions in the [Pocket Dimension] over those fifteen years. I kneeled down and grabbed Serafall's legs that had been covering the view of her vagina.

When I pulled them, she didn't try to resist and I could see them on full display. However, Serafall still felt embarrassed by it as her face was still red. She was also a bit wet already, so foreplay wasn't needed…

"A-At least say something, you idiot…"

"Me horny, we fuck."

Serafall stares blankly at me for a few seconds before bursting into a fit of giggles. Hmm, that at least got her to relax a bit. I kneel down and get in between her legs. I grab a hold of my member and tease her a bit down there. I rub my member against her slit and teasingly push the tip in and pull it out.

"Mmmng, ahh… S-Stop teasing me…"

Serafall's breathing has been increasing for some time now. Now that I stop and think about it, this was kind of spur of the moment, isn't it?

"Sera... Just making sure, but are you sure about this? We could take it a bit slower you know."

"I-It's fine! I also get to beat Gabriel-chan! ...…R-Right?"

She's still fixated on that, isn't she? I confirm her question with a nod, and she pumps her fist. Although, I do need to do things with Gabriel too… Even though she lives here now, she's mostly up in Heaven. Even now she hadn't come back down.

I should make another Electa to take her place… An Angel Electa…

"Jin… Focus on me…"

Serafall sounded a bit sad while saying that. I looked back at her and she was giving me the teary-eye treatment.

"My bad… Here I go then, Sera."

Serafall urges me on and nods slightly. I place the tip where the labia separate and slowly push forward.

"Mmmngh! Hah, ah… Haagh!"

A low, wet sound emerges. Ever so slowly, the tip of my member slides into her. The more I push in, the more I feel her flesh coiling around my length. It's been a while but I forgot how virgins are extremely tight…

"Aah… U-Ungh… Eep, hah, nngh…!"

Serafall was trying to suppress her voice, but she didn't need to do that… Oh, I didn't tell her about the barrier… It should be fine.

"Uh, Sera, are you alright?"

"I-I'm fine… Just keep going… Haaah, gh…!"

Her hand falls to my arm and grips my elbow. Her voice falters as she speaks, but her words remain crystal clear.

"Keep going… Don't stop, I want to do this with you…! Keep going until it's all in…! O-Oooh, nngh…?!"

Serafall's grip on my arm tightens even further. That tells me she's really ready, right? I reach over and put a hand on her cheek trying to calm her down a little.

"Yeah, I will… Don't worry, and relax a little…"

She nods but looks a tad hesitant, but I know what she wants me to do. Being careful not to move too much down there, I lean forward and whisper into her ear.

"…I love you, Serafall. I love you so much."

Her vagina tightens after hearing those words, and tears well up in her eyes.

"Aah… Me, too… I love you, too…! Do it…! Shove it all into me, Jin…!"

I nod and push myself even further into her.

"Mnnnnnnngh….! Ah, ah…. Ah, aaahh…! Ah, ngh! Mmmgh, mmm, nhaaah…!"

I finally finished burying myself in Serafall, or at least as much as I can inside of her. Serafall had a look of relief on her face.

"Haaah, haaaah… So that's all of it… Right…? You finally took my first time…"

The tears that were threatening to fall finally did and ran down her cheeks. Geez, Sera… Why are you so adorable right now?

Her breath remains fast and heavy; however, she stares up at me lovingly and seems to expect me to start right away.

"Does it hurt?"

"No… I've been in other situations where I've experienced far more painful things. B-But, I feel really comfortable right now…"

"Jin… I love you…"

She closes her eyes and puckers her lips. Since I was still quite close to her, I accepted this gesture and kissed her.

"Mmmpch… Mmmch…. Mmmmnch…"

Serafall sought out my tongue first. I also matched her; however, it wasn't a fervent kiss, but rather a slow, deliberate kiss; an expression of love without words. I wind my tongue around hers, exploring every sensation of her body I have yet to feel.

"Mmmpch… Mnnnch… Nnnmmm… Jin… More… Kiss me more…"

After kissing for a few more seconds, we separated. I finally pull away—

"…Jin, please move… I want to feel you more…"

Serafall's insides clench on my member, she coaxes me with another gentle smile. With that, I finally start pumping my hips, I do it slowly since she's not used to this yet.

"Aah…! Agh… Ngh, mmmh! Jin, Jin…! Haah… Aaahhh….!"

Without saying words, Serafall looked like she was in heaven. Serafall becomes even wetter making the experience for us better. She reaches up and caresses my cheek.

"…Sera…!!"

"Mmm, haah…! Ah, J-Jin…?"

Pah ~ Pah ~

"Hyah?!"

She yelped. I couldn't take it anymore. I'm sorry in advance, Sera! I increased the speed and power of my thrusts.

"Nnngh, ah, ah, hff…! Mmm, yah, aahh… Jin…"

I reach over and grab both her plump breasts and squeeze them.

"Aaah! Ah, nnnaaghhh! Aaagh! Yes, that's it…! N-No, not my nipples… Hyah! ~"

Keeping up my rhythm, it seemed like Serafall was already used to it, as she was drooling from her mouth. I reached over and pinched both of her nipples in an effort to stimulate her more.

"Mnnnn…!!"

Serafall's body shakes as I stop thrusting. She just orgasmed… Once she stopped, her eyes opened and she had a faraway look on her. Like she was on cloud-nine. However, I still hadn't finished, so—

Thrust ~ Thrust ~

"Mnnaaaah?!!? W-Wait, J-Jin! I-I'm still… Cyuumming…!"

Her body shook again, but I didn't stop. She had another orgasm while I kept on fucking her. She must be stupidly sensitive right now, sorry Sera, but don't worry… I'm also close.

"Sera… I'm—"

"Inshideeee!!"

Serafall quickly pushed herself up and hugged me. We transitioned from the missionary position to a sitting position and Serafall started to match my thrust while bouncing on my member.

"Aaah, aah…! Jin, I can't stop cumming… Please finish inside me…!"

"Ugh… Sera, I'm cumming…!"

Splurt ~ Splurt ~

"Ah, aaahh…. Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhh!!!!"

I finish inside of Serafall as she screamed her lunges out. My member puts her inside full of my semen, and her insides also squeezes me tighter, trying to get as much out as they can. When I pull away from the hug—

Serafall had already passed out in my arms. Her mouth was still open and drool was flowing down it. However, she had passed out after I finished inside of her. I slowly remove the unconscious Serafall from me, and once she was off me, my semen slowly dripped out of her vagina.

I put her down on the bed as she peacefully slept. I didn't think she was the type to be knocked out after a single round, although I didn't expect her to be that lovely-dovey either, so I guess she's still full of surprises.

I turn my attention to Grayfia and she was already lying on the bed instead of sitting. I go over to her and once I arrived, she spreads her legs, and arms out. She was already dripping wet, she definitely got like that from watching Serafall and I doing it.

"Jin-sama… Come love me too."

I felt a smile creep up on my face and I nodded. I lined up my member against her vagina and plunged all the way in.

"Nnhaaaaaah…! Haaah, haaah, mmm, here it is… Haaanh! You're pushing all the way in… It's spreading me apart… All the way in… Mmmmmm!"

"Khh… Grayfia…!"

Her juices flowed out, pushed out by my member sliding into her honey pot. I was in Serafall not too long ago, but Grayfia's pussy felt even hotter than hers, almost as if it were caringly caressing my member. Just by entering her, Grayfia's breathing became ragged.

"Huuu… We're connected again, Jin-sama…"

"Yeah…"

We share a quick kiss before I start to rock my hips back and forth. This elicits sweet moans from my maid.

"Mm, haah… Haah, haah… Ah… Mmm! Jin-sama… You don't need to move slowly for my sake, do it however you like…"

Doing as told, I increase my speed but since I was still sensitive from doing it with Serafall I felt my own ejaculation quickly coming.

"Grayfia…"

"…Shoot it in me anytime you want, Jin-sama…! I'll accept it all…!"

Pah ~ Pah ~ Smack ~ Smack ~

I felt her actively squeezing her vaginal walls to force me to ejaculate, and it's definitely working. I can't hold it…!

Splurt ~ Splurt ~

"Nhaaah, haaaaaah…!"

Grayfia shivered as I gave her the first load of the night. After I finished cumming inside her, I started to thrust into Grayfia again. Her body hadn't stopped shivering the entire time, and now she was moaning even louder.

"Ahhh… Aaahhh… Ah…!"

Grayfia pushed herself up from her position and was brought up into a sitting position, just like Serafall. I feel like these girls like this position a bit too much, just like doggy style and missionary…

Grayfia wraps her hands around my neck and starts to bounce on my member at the same speed and rhythm as me. But… This feels amazing. Focusing on savoring the sensation of her warm walls, I slide my member back and forth within her.

Grayfia wasn't trying to hold back her moaning like Serafall, and she just let it all out. If it weren't for the barrier I put up, the whole house would hear this sexy maid's moans. Of course, those moans spurred me on even more and I fucked her even harder.

"Sorry, Grayfia…!"

Pah ~ Pah ~

"I don't mind, you can go as hard as you please…! Just use me… Just use my pussy all you want…!"

I tighten my embrace on Grayfia and kissed her on the cheek. However, I slow down my movement which confused her.

"I won't just use your bodies to get off, you know? I—"

Chu ~

She kissed me and cut me off and started to move her own hips even faster. She finally breaks the kiss and smiles lovingly at me.

"F-Forgive me, Jin-sama. That wasn't what I meant... I just want your love, that's all… So please…!"

Using all the force I can muster, I pull back and slam it against her womb with the intention of knocking it up against it.

"Aaaaahh?! Haaaaa! R-Right there…! Mmm, ah, ahhh…! My uterus… My womb…! Please keep kissing it, right there…! Drive your dick in… Push your head against it, and cum, just like that!"

That's my plan, Grayfia…! Even though I only let it out not too long ago, the rate Grayfia and I are fucking, it won't be long till I cum again. As if reading my mind, Grayfia's walls wrap more around my member, coaxing that urge out of me…

Her muscles ripple over my shaft from the root toward the tip, like natural peristalsis.

"Grayfia…"

"Aah, yes, Jin-sama…! I've been having small orgasms since you put it in…! I think you've changed my body to this… I can't live without you anymore…! Fwaaahh… Haaa… Ah, ah, I feel a big one coming… Jin-sama, together…! Cum together with me…!"

I felt hot tears dripping down her face as she desperately looks at me, she looks like she wants to say something— Something important to her…

"Jin-sama… Jin-sama…! Ah, ah, ahhnn…! I'll wring it all, out so… Please… Release it inside me…! Like this…!"

I felt Grayfia's pussy squeeze me even tighter. Tears, drool and juices started to spill everywhere. Times like these are when I see Grayfia with her emotions out in the open. For someone like her to only show this side when it's only the two of us…

"Fill me up! Nhaaah! Please shoot it all inside me, Jin-sama…! This womb is yours only! Ah… Aahh… Ahhh… Ah, ah, agh… Aaahhh!! I'm nearly there, Jin-sama… Jin-sama… I-I-I…!"

She was still hesitant even now, so I'll give her last push then! I capture her lips and force my tongue inside, Grayfia answers in kind and starts to lick and suck on my tongue desperately.

"Go ahead… Tell me, Grayfia."

I pull away and say those words, her tongue still out, tears down her face— She couldn't take it anymore—

"Inside… Inshide… I want Jin-sama's baby….! Please… In the future, give me your babies, knock me up…!"

She says in a desperate tone...… I didn't know Grayfia wanted my kids that badly… I wonder why all of a sudden…? I'm not against it so, I fucked her harder, that's how I choose to answer her. Grayfia's eyes widen—

Splurt ~ Splurt ~ Splurttttt ~

"Aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Jin-sama's…. Seeed….. Aahh…. It's pumping into me… S-Sho ghoood…"

"I'm not done yet….!"

I had pushed myself up against her womb as I let out all my cum. Even though I had not sterilized the seed, I chose to do this to give her one final silent answer.

Splurt ~ Splurt ~ Splurt ~

"Ah, ah, ah…. Jin-sama… Haaah… Haaaah…Ahhh…"

"Grayfia…"

I whisper to her, unfortunately, I'm still quite erect. She smiles at me and nods.

"I will accompany for as long as you like…"

Lemon End

A few hours later.

"Zzzzz…."

After a few hours of love making, Grayfia had tired herself out and was sleeping soundly.

"You're awake, aren't you, Sera?"

"…Ahahaha… I was found out…"

I scooted over to Serafall and I brought Grayfia with me as she was using my chest as a pillow.

"I didn't think I would hear Grayfia-chan be all that lovey-dovey… But she wants your children that badly, huh?"

She looked at Serafall with an amused smile.

"I guess so, but it's not the first time she's mentioned it. Oh, do you know why, by the way?"

She shakes her head.

"No, unfortunately I do not. Perhaps it's just her love for you that is so strong? She did tell me during our time in your [Pocket Dimension] that she's immortal and will stay with you, right? I know Akeno-chan, Lavinia-chan and Asia-chan are part of that right now."

"Ah, so you know about that?"

"Mmm. Who else have you made immortal since then? Or have you asked anyone else?"

She looks at me curiously and then leans her head against my shoulder.

"Hmm. I told Rias, Griselda, Irina and Rose about it, and recently I asked Natsume. She has yet to give me an answer. Griselda and Irina aren't in my harem so…"

"Do you think they'll say yes?"

"I don't know… But at least I hope they'll ask me to extend their lives. Having everyone around is a lot more fun, right?"

"Huhu, maybe… Hey, why don't you make me immortal then?"

"Sera… I appreciate you saying that, but I don't want you just making spur of the moment decisions like this. Don't rush and take your time to think about it."

She pulls away from me and puts a finger up and shakes it side to side while saying 'No, no!'.

"That's where you're wrong, Ji-tan! Didn't I tell you already? Grayfia told me about it during the fifteen years. So I had a lot of time thinking about it."

Her usual playful demeanor was absent, and she was looking at me seriously. She took my left hand and held it with both of hers.

"Please."

"But…"

"Ah, make sure you add So-tan to your harem and make us both immortal!"

"Pfft—"

The tender moment was ruined by that and I just laughed. I'll assume her love for both Sona and I are equal.

"Ah, don't laugh! I love both of you, but I can't stand the thought of So-tan dying off before me! I mean, I don't want either of us dying, or you!"

As I kept laughing, she started to lightly hit me on the side. However, I stopped and nodded my head.

"Alright, alright, I get it, Serafall."

Using my left arm, I brought her into a hug and made her immortal. Once that was done, I let her go.

"I don't feel any changes?"

"Do you want an extra breast in the middle as an indication?"

She looked horrified and shook her head.

"No! No! That's weird! Never mind, I feel immortal now!"

Serafall eventually calms down and we fall back into silence. I stroke Grayfia with my free hand and look at her. Kids, huh? So Grayfia definitely wants some, so we'll work on that in the future. The rest are still vague though.

"Oh, right… Sera, why did you actually come here for?"

"…I didn't lie about wanting to see you. But I did finish speaking with Sirzechs-chan and about the situation at your school. The stalker will be expelled, and they're still reviewing the recording you made, but there's a high chance he'll be fired and banned from teaching for the foreseeable future."

"I already informed So-tan about it, so you might be called into the principal's office along with either Zeoticus-chan or Sirzechs-chan, and of course So-tan and other officials early in the morning ~"

She said that in one go without stopping. Once she was finished, she let out a satisfied sigh. Well done, but seriously? Oh boy, I do hope he doesn't blow up and try to assault me.

[Why?]

Huh? I mean, I'll sit his ass down if he does… It's self-defense at that point you know?

"He might try to play the 'I was recorded with zero consent' thing, Sera. How will that play out? I mean he's technically right."

"I think vandalizing school property and threatening several students, and harassing a fellow teacher might take precedence over being recorded without consent."

I nod.

"Well, I guess you have a point, but he may still try to play that card you know?"

"Sirzechs-chan will shut it down! You already have support from all of us, the majority of the teachers there, and I don't think the principal hates you!"

Well, I would hope that they don't randomly hate me. After telling me that, Serafall then deflates and flops down back on the bed. She then sighs tiredly while looking at the ceiling. This is a drastic change in mood…

"What's wrong?"

"…I did say that I missed you, but after tonight I'll be leaving again, and who knows when I'll see you again?"

She said in a tone that indicated that she wanted a certain answer out of me. I mean, my house has space after all…

"Do you want to move in?"

Gyu ~

She regained her energy and hugged me.

"I knew Ji-tan would provide the right answer ~"

"I mean, you weren't exactly being subtle about it. I also have infinite space here, so I was just waiting for you to say something about it."

She gasped dramatically and looked appalled.

"Y-You weren't planning to invite me unless I said I wanted to move in?! Serafall is shocked!"

Why did you just say it in the third person…? Anyway, I should just go back downstairs and let Grayfia sleep this off… I try to get up but she holds me down.

"Hehe, even while sleeping Grayfia-chan remains cute! She's telling you not to go! To not leave her!"

"You didn't need to narrate that, Sera…"

She stuck her tongue out at me and I cancelled the barrier around the room. I'm not against it, so I'll have an earlier night tonight then.

"You want to joi—"

Pomf!

Instead of answering she just stood up and jumped onto me. I had to move out of the way so she wouldn't body slam Grayfia.

"Why did you avoid me?!"

"…Serafall-sama… Behave… Yourself… Zzzz…"

We both looked at Grayfia and she was still asleep. I guess she—

"You heard the woman. Now come here and let's just sleep normally."

Even though she huffed and puffed, Serafall eventually just slept normally.

Next day

"The schedule was interrupted by Leviathan-sama. How do we punish her?"

While we were having breakfast in the morning, Grayfia, along with the other girls had Serafall, a Satan sitting in a seiza position and looking down at the ground. But what they're saying is true, she did interrupt the schedule.

Grayfia was the one leading it. She was part of the schedule last night so she didn't violate it. However, there was just one extra person last night, so it's not that big of a deal, well to me anyway, but I guess it's different for them.

Nudge ~ Nudge ~

Ophis, who had come out was shoving a spoon towards my mouth. I open it and accept the food. She smiled and was satisfied with herself. Irene also came out to have breakfast with us. Also, sometime in the early morning hours, Gabriel came back home.

"Auuu…"

She was currently clinging to me, and took someone else's seat beside me. I really should visit Heaven soon and suggest this to Michael. So it'll make it easier for them and Altaria since the angels that were traitors had already left and are now fallen angels.

"How about excluding her from the list for a week or two?"

Lavinia suggests with a bright smile. Serafall looks up and is horrified at the female magician. Her face said it all, it was basically saying 'please don't'. However, Lavinia held her ground as she smiled at the Satan.

"What does Ji—"

"I'm not getting involved in this…"

[Smart, much logical, doge.]

{Are you bored? Also, why doge memes?}

[The classic age is always the best, you stupid lizard! Rage comics and the like!]

{You're also a lizard!}

[Fuck you!]

{Fuck you too!}

'Make love already.'

{[Screw you Velgrynd!]}

'Hmph.'

As chaotic as usual guys, keep it up. I felt Ophis nudging me with the spoon again and I ate the food. Irene silently watched them; she saw me looking at her and she avoided eye contact with me. Please don't tell me she's having the 'Ophis-phase' as I would like to call it.

I glance at the time on the clock and notice that I have to get going. I need to be early after all. I tap Ophis on the head and she looks up at me.

[I gotta go.]

After nodding, she swallowed the rest of her food in one gulp, surprising me, and then delved back into the necklace. Irene notices this, pinches my cheek and slips back into the necklace. The hell was that about…?

[She's a tsundere, Partner. Kukukuku.]

[Silence, drooling dragon emperor.]

[...]

I didn't expect Irene to quip back at him like that. As I try to get up Gabriel looks at me teary-eyed. Please don't do this to me… You're killing me here.... As I stare at her, I get an idea. I lean down and kiss her on the lips. This temporarily stuns the Seraphim and I step away from the table and snap my school uniform onto myself.

"Jin? Where are you off to? It's still quite early."

Akeno asks me, and I turn to look at her. Everyone was looking at me at this point.

"Serafall can explain, I gotta get to school early."

All eyes are on Serafall and she begins to explain. I started to teleport away—

"So, after we had sex—"

Bonk!

"Ow!"

"Take this seriously…"

She was hit by Grayfia. That was the last thing I saw before leaving.

Kuoh Academy

Occult Research Club

"Oh? You finally made it, huh?"

When I teleported into the clubroom, Azazel, Rose, Griselda, Lisa, and Penemue were already there. They did say they needed to be there earlier than me, but I didn't think they'd be here of all places.

"Sup. Did you guys eat yet? Also, why here? Aren't we meant to be in the principal's office?"

Azazel nods and answers me.

"Well, yeah. But we don't start for another thirty minutes, so we're just relaxing here. Oh right, that reminds me. Zeus was planning to send a request in for you. Honestly, all the pantheons we're in alliance with are asking for you… So, you have a busy time ahead of you, Middleman-kun."

"Is it about the damage done? And whatever aftermath?"

"Pretty much, but some have other requests for you."

"I see… I'll take them all then."

I took a seat while I answered Azazel. He just gave me a strange look.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. I mean, I'll need to do them eventually, right? So I might as well take them all now."

He shrugged to my response and contacted each leader of the pantheon and told them I would take their requests. We made idle chatter until the start time arrived.

We had arrived at the principal's office. The teachers went in first, and then I walked in, Sona was already there with Tsubaki. Sirzechs and Zeoticus were also there along with Hotaka Nakamura the P.E. teacher and Yami Endo with his parents.

Hotaka had a look of surprise on his face when he noticed me. Yami also glared at me. Sheesh, I sure have a lot of hate towards me.

"Ah, Skyward-kun, welcome, welcome. I'm glad you could make it, and I apologize for asking you to come in so early."

The principal greets me, and I do the same.

"Ah, it's not any trouble. So, why was I called here for?"

I glanced around the room. Both Gremory's had amused looks on their faces, while Sona rolled her eyes. Tsubaki remained the same and the teachers had varying degrees of reactions.

"Mmm. Have you heard about the rumors lately?

"I've heard of one, the desk thing, right?"

"Hmm. You're still new to our country and you probably don't know or it was different in Ireland, but bullying here is a little more… Subtle? So it's a bit difficult to crackdown on them, however, after last year's incident we have started to take them even more seriously. This is because we don't want a repeat of it."

He looks down sadly and shakes his head.

"We do not want a repeat of that. Anyhow, allow me to introduce to you to Zeoticus Gremory and Sirzechs Gremory. Zeoticus is an administrator of our school, along with his son Sirzechs, and yes, they are related to your classmate Rias Gremory-kun."

"…I see."

I glance at them and they wave at me.

"If I may interrupt Hiroshi-kocho-sensei, why have we been called in here? I understand why Endo-kun may have been called here, but why am I here? I have my P.E. classes to prepare for."

"Now, now, Nakamura-sensei, this won't take long."

The principal Hiroshi turns to Endo and he looks away. His parents didn't look too happy with him, and didn't seem to be defending him.

"Endo-kun, after a lengthy investigation overnight… We have found a lot of evidence against you… I'm sorry to say, we have to expel you. Stalking and sending lewd and explicit content to your teacher is a very serious crime. However, Penemue-sensei won't be pressing charges against you."

"What—"

Hiroshi puts his hand up and brings up a remote and clicks it. A projector starts and shows a mass of screenshots of his 'trolling' online, and behavior. I could tell that he was seriously pissed off. Finally, it showed the messages from him to Penemue and he looked mortified.

"Do you want to say anything, Endo-kun?"

"...…"

He remained silent and kept his head down. Both of his parents looked disgusted at him. Yeah, I don't think they'll be helping him. Principal Hiroshi nods his head and looks over at Penemue, who also nods.

"Hmm. That matter is settled then. Endo-kun, you will be expelled. I take it your parents do not have a problem with that?"

"No, we don't. I'm sorry for our sons' actions, Hiroshi-sensei, Penemue-sensei, and thank you for not filing any criminal charges against him…"

Penemue just smiled and nodded. Hiroshi gestured for them and they left. I guess they'll talk more about it after the next part? Because I don't sense them fully leaving and they were just outside.

"Our next topic is the vandalism of school property and the mystery bully."

Principal Hiroshi says and Hotaka Nakamura has a smug look on him and interrupts the principal.

"I see. So, the culprit is Jin Skyward-kun? I didn't expect that. He's been mostly an excellent student. I'm very surprised by this sudden development. Hmm-hmm. Are you not part of their club, Skyward-kun? Why did you target your fellow members? That's not very nice you know. You could be looking at an expulsion too."

Nakamura said it in a way that would rub salt into an open wound— A.k.a. really fucking smugly. The way he said it made me want to punch him in the throat. But I have to stay calm.

The principal sighs and shakes his head. He silently played another video, and it was Hotaka Nakamura writing on my desk, yeah… My own recording of him. The guy literally froze when it started playing.

[Hah, look at him. Freezing up like a lil bitch.]

Ddraig, language.

[P-Partner?! Hello? We curse a lot you know? W-Why are you doing this to me?!]

...…

[Don't ignore me!]

'[Welsh Dragon], please be quiet.'

[...]

"As you can see, Nakamura-sensei, we have a recording of you doing this to Skyward-kun's desk. Care to explain yourself? I won't even mention the foul language you used…"

However, Nakamura didn't say anything but his body started to shake. He was clearly pissed off; I wonder if he'd explode… He finally looks up, and looks at me... Bruh, his eyes look so dead and ready to kill me. He points at me, and then laughs.

"Why do you even exist?"

He asked a single question that confused the room. Everyone started looking at each other clearly confused. He laughed again and continued.

"It's not only me, Skyward-kun. Many of the male students in this school envy your position. Personally, I think you look average; however, you still manage to attract many of the females in this school, including the teachers."

He stops and glares at Rose, Lisa, Penemue and Griselda. They don't show any reactions and just stare back at him.

"What draws them to you? Certainly not your looks, so why? You don't do any sports, apart from helping some clubs every now and again. So why? What's so good about you? For some reason, even Rossweisse-sensei, Lisa-sensei, Penemue-sensei and Griselda-sensei highly favor you. What makes you so special?"

He goes on a weird tangent about something that I decided not to listen to. So, in summary, he's jealous of me? I know some guys are, but to take it this far. Also, aren't you an adult?

"Uh, so you're jealous of the attention I'm getting? Griselda-sensei comes over to our clubroom from time to time and may have mentioned some attempts by a certain teacher to ask her out on a date. Why don't you just ask her if she's dating someone or if she's interested in someone?"

A sigh escapes him as he looks at Griselda after clenching his fist. The principal looked like he wanted to say something but decided to stay quiet. Griselda, now in the spotlight, stared at Nakamura dead in the eyes—

"I am not dating anyone, but I am interested in someone. Unfortunately, I can't reciprocate your feelings Nakamura-sensei. Forgive me."

She even added a bow at the end, as expected of a former nun and now reincarnated angel. Always so courteous. I'll add the final blow then…

"I'm not really doing anything except living my own life, Nakamura-sensei. What I do with my own romantic life has nothing to do with you, and vice versa. I have no interest in yours, and it certainly isn't my fault that you can't get laid."

"Pfft— Ahem…"

I finished, and Azazel snorted but quickly composed himself. Both Gremory men looked at him with a questioning look. Being jealous, I get. But doing this petty shit is weird. I'm not Japanese, so even if I found out about this scribbling thing at a later date, it wouldn't affect me…

Apparently, that was what made him erupt as he lunged at me. He tried to grab me, but I dodged him, so he started to throw punches my way.

"N-Nakamura-sensei, please stop! This is assault!"

The principal tries to explain, but it falls on deaf ears. Um… What am I supposed to do? He's like an immature child having a tantrum… I look at everyone else and they shrug. Seriously? You're leaving this up to me? I look at the principal.

"Hiroshi-kocho-sensei, if I fight back now, it's self-defense, right?"

Before the principal could answer—

"Yes, I would say it would be, wouldn't you agree, father?"

Sirzechs asks Zeoticus, and he nods. The principal looks at the two of them before sighing. Sorry dude. He tries to punch me again; I side step his attack and put my right foot out making him trip.

As he fell, I put a hand on his chest, flipped him around and slammed him to the ground. I used enough force to knock the wind out of him, but not hurt him too much. Once he was on the ground, I sat on him and sighed.

"Uh, should we call the police or something…?"

This was stupid, even Saji wasn't like this dude… You should really learn to shoot your shots at different places. The principal becomes a little anxious and starts using his smartphone.

"Haa…. I didn't want my day to start like this. At least Endo was more civil…"

Well, I won't relax about him yet, he did look really pissed off, so the stalking MIGHT continue, if it does, I'll do something about it.

[You won't kill him, right?]

Ddraig, I'm not a murderer… Maybe just traumatize him for life like Akeno did to that Chase guy.

[If you say so, Partner.]

I sat on the teacher until other teachers came in and handled the rest. After being asked to stay and answer some questions, I had no idea what would happen to him as I was asked to leave. So, I headed to the clubroom.

Once I arrived there, the Gremory group was already there.

"Oh, hey guys. I didn't think you would all be here."

"We were curious, so do you mind telling us what happened?"

I greet them and Rias nods at me. I sat on the couch and told them what had happened…

"Jealousy is a heck of a thing, huh?"

Gya-suke says while fiddling with his phone. Ravel and Shirone were sitting on my lap, agreeing with him.

"I thought he was okay; he didn't come off as creepy…"

"For once, I agree with you."

Ravel agrees with Shirone on this point. A rare moment between them indeed. The rest of the morning was mostly normal, apart from the students being curious about the 'bully' and Endo.

Next day

Lunch

"So he really got expelled, huh? And we don't have a P.E. teacher now… Some rumors say that it was Nakamura-sensei who scribbled all of those awful things, you know?"

It was Friday and it was lunchtime. I was dragged by Kouta and Najima into a guy's group and they started discussing about what had happened recently. Evidently, there was some kind of investigation group among the students and they discovered some things.

So, Yami Endo has become a target of hate among the student body, and Nakamura, the P.E. teacher was also targeted with rumors.

"Your thoughts, Skyward-sama?"

"…Rumors are rumors, who knows?"

I answer him and a guy points at me.

"Two days ago, someone from one of the clubs said they saw you early in the morning. They're reliable since they belong to the investigation group and are part of a club who comes here early in the morning!"

They all looked at me and I shrugged at his accusation. I don't know the full details, my guy. However, all I know is that he was definitely arrested since he tried to attack me. Yeah, I pressed charges, though it was Sirzechs' idea for me to do so and to make it easier to charge him.

On top of his other charges, I just went with it. One human problem solved, all that's left is Endo. There has been no activity from him. I have a nano fly on him, so I would know if he was up to something. I also have one Shadow Knight in his shadow just to make sure.

But I'm leaving that problem for another time. Today, I'm going out with Momo after school today. After that is the weekend and me heading to Ireland with Asia for the date with Áine.

"Poor Penemue-sensei. She said she was dating someone, but I doubt it because she's probably saying that to keep some weirdos away from her, you know?"

Kouta says, and the other guys were shocked. She didn't mention anything like that to me.

"Hey, when did you hear that?"

I asked him, and he nodded.

"Just today, someone asked her during her first class and she said she was dating someone. However, we realized it was a lie, didn't we? After what happened."

"I see."

They continued talking about it but I got up from my seat and started wandering the halls. I come across a few students muttering when I walk past them. I somehow end up at a certain part of the school and—

"Ara? Jin-kun?"

I had been staring at the ground and looked up. In front of me was Kiyome Abe.

"Oh, hey Kiyome. What's up? …Actually, where the hell am I?"

She chuckles at me and shakes her head.

"You are near the sewing club."

"...We have a sewing club?!"

She laughed at me again and nodded. She came over to peer at my face.

"Is something troubling you?"

"Hmm? Nah, I'm just thinking about stuff. You know, all the rumors and stuff."

I lean against the wall and she joins me. She scooted a bit closer to me.

"I see, so it's true? You were called into the school early in the morning?"

I nodded and proceeded to tell her what had happened and why it had happened. By the end of it she was just shaking her head in disbelief.

"To think a teacher would do such a thing, and a student to stalk a Fallen Angel of all beings… This world is becoming insane."

"You think so? I mean in Ireland the bullying attempt would have ended in people fighting, and the stalking? A man hunt to a beating. Well, in my former school that is… I don't know about others."

"You were in a school for beasts and psychopaths. I am shocked you came out sane."

It was my turn to laugh at her response and she just huffed. I look at Kiyome and we haven't interacted that much, apart from helping her three times, that's about the extent of it. She looks at me questioningly and I explain myself.

"T-That's true."

"Hmm. Anyway, I'll get going. Nice talking with you Kiyome."

I started walking away and I felt her grab my sleeve. I turn around to see her looking at the ground while blushing.

"U-Um, my father wants to meet up with you, is that okay?"

"Huh?"

"After you helped me with my engagement, and after you and Rias Gremory left, I told him I was already dating someone, so…"

"…You told him it was me?"

She nodded while blushing. I sigh and scratch my head.

"…Sure. Just text me when it's happening, okay?"

"Y-Yes, of course, thank you, Jin."

I walk away while waving at her. Haaa… What the hell do I do with her…? She clearly likes me…

[What you usually do.]

I'll ignore that…

After School

After telling everyone that I was busy and couldn't attend club activities, though it's mostly me just sitting around reading things. I was waiting by a local café for Momo. We had agreed to meet here via text. I had also changed before leaving the clubroom. I was in my usual 'Middleman outfit'.

"A-Ah, s-sorry I'm late…!"

I hear Momo's voice and turn to it. She arrived at my side with a blue backpack purse. She was wearing a black t-shirt, a black trumpet skirt and white knee-high boots. She saw me checking her out and started to blush. I give her a thumbs up.

"Looking great, Momo. Ready for the date?"

"Y-Ye— E-Eh?"

She was shocked by the question and turned even redder. I couldn't help but chuckle at her.

"I'm just teasing you, unless you want it to be?"

I put my hand out and she looks at it, and then back at my face before meekly nodding and grabbing my hand. I let her lead as she starts to take us to the local sports shop. Once we got there, to my surprise, Kouta was there with a girl!

"H-Holy shit! Skyward-sama! Ah—"

He covers his mouth as the girl beside him looks at him with a questioning gaze.

"Sakura-san, I'm sorry for being late."

"Don't worry about it Hanakai-san. We weren't waiting too long, shall we go?"

Momo lets go of my hand and the two girls take the lead by going into the shop. Kouta and I hang back and he pulls me towards him.

"Keep this a secret from Najima…"

"And why should I do that?"

He sighs and explains.

"Look, his folks keep hounding him about finding a girlfriend so he can continue the bakery business, you know? But they had a fight about it and now he's really salty about not being together with someone."

"Wait, is that why you've been avoiding relationship talk when I'm around?"

He nodded sagely. Well, okay, I understand his parents' concern, but... Didn't we say to try to get together with one of Ingvild's friends? I pull out my phone and text Ingvild.

|Hey, In, got a minute?|

|I'm free, is something wrong, Jin?|

|No, no, I was just wondering… Are any of your friends single?|

|Jin…|

|No! It's Najima! I was wondering if any of them were interested in him!|

|Oh, Najima-kun? Um… None of them see him in a bad way, so I think there's a chance?|

"Oof my guy, Kyrie-san is pretty harsh, huh? But it's not a total loss!"

Kouta who had been looking at my phone came to that conclusion.

|I see, well do you mind asking them? Maybe we can set something up?|

|I'll try Jin, but no promises!|

|Yeah, thank you.|

After that I put my phone away. I then turn to Kouta and finally address the elephant in the room.

"When?"

"Huh?"

"Don't play with me, Kouta. When did you get close to Sakura?"

He looks back at Sakura who was happily chatting away with Momo, and turns back to me blushing.

"W-Well not to toot my own horn but I saved her from some bad guys, and became her hero. After that we've been, y-you know, talking and stuff… H-Hashimoto-san is pretty interesting you know?"

Sakura Hashimoto, huh? I don't know anything about her, but Kouta proceeds to blabber on about her. In addition to playing and liking volleyball, our school has a girls' team, which surprised me.

She also wants to be an author, and has been writing amateur short stories. She's also apparently a camera fanatic. She likes taking pictures of basically anything. Kouta seemed enamored with the girl.

"Guess you're in love, huh?"

"S-Shut up! …O-Okay, maybe I am, but…"

He falls silent and looks at Sakura again. But he's probably not sure about her relationship status, huh? Well, I don't care about such things so—

"I'll ask her."

"H-Huh?!"

"Hey, Hashimoto-san."

The two girls stop and look back at me. Kouta starts to violently shake me and I ignore him.

"Are you dating anyone?"

As soon as I say that, Kouta stops, sighs, and shakes his head. She tilts her head in confusion but shakes her head.

"No… I'm single, always have been. I mean, who would like a sportsy girl like me?"

"I see. Nah, I'm pretty sure there are people out there who like girls like you."

"Is that so? I hope I meet one soon then, hehe."

After that short exchange, and getting a weird look from Momo, they continue on. They stop to look at some equipment before walking away again and repeating this process. Kouta, who was beside me seemed elated by the fact.

"So, are you going to go for her?"

"...Hell yeah…! I might have a chance…!"

After shopping around a bit, and Kouta leaving me to speak with Sakura, Momo and I were together again. This time we were the ones observing the two, and from the interactions we saw...

"Those two like each other…"

That was Momo's conclusion.

"Jin, is that why you asked if she was single?"

"Yeah, he was too nervous and I don't care about those things. So I did it for him. Anyway, once we're done here, do you want to go anywhere? Maybe the amusement park?"

When Momo and I were talking and observing Kouta and Sakura, we had been holding hands. I had to initiate it, but she didn't shy away from it.

"…O-Okay…"

"We'll see you on Monday then, Sakura-san, Kouta-kun!"

"Y-Yeah, see you around, Hanakai-san, Jin!"

"Mmm. See you soon."

"Don't die now, Kouta."

"What kind of goodbye is that?!"

After saying our goodbyes, the two of them walk away together. Momo and I do the same, but towards the amusement park. That place won't close too early which is a plus. Nighttime dates and all that.

We quickly arrived there, paid the entrance fee and immediately Momo dragged me to a guy selling cotton candy. I'm having flashbacks to Kiba buying these when Sirzechs and Asteri were here. Of course, I paid for it.

"Do you like cotton candy?"

"Yes, I saw it featured a lot in films and movies, so I always wanted to try eating them while in an amusement park."

She says that while taking bites out of the food. But I didn't think someone could like that for such a weird reason. But now that I think about it, I probably got transfixed on certain ideas as a kid from watching shows, so it's not that weird.

"Let's…"

An idea popped into my mind and I was the one to lead us this time. I brought us to a haunted house and Momo froze.

"Is something wrong, [Bishop] of Sitri? You couldn't possibly be scared of haunted houses and ghosts, right?"

Momo squints her eyes at me while silently telling me 'Bring it on'. I snorted before going inside the thing. But that façade quickly faded as each time a jump scare came out, she would freeze on the stop, but not scream. So she was doing well on that front, and she would also tightly gripped my arm.

However, we eventually come out of the haunted house and Momo heaves a sigh of relief before looking at me with a triumphant look.

"See? I wasn't scared at all."

I silently point behind her. She looks confused but turns around. When she does a staff member jumps out while screaming.

"Hyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

Momo jumped onto me and screamed her lungs out. I didn't want her to be mad so I kept myself from laughing. I turned around and gave the guy a thumbs up. He also did the same to me. We finally leave the haunted house as she finally calmed down from the jump scare.

"That was—"

"…No."

I looked up, and the sun had already set. The sky was dark. The area had also become a bit colder, so the day was coming to a close. I felt Momo tug on my sleeve. I looked at her and she was pointing at the Ferris wheel. What a cliché way to end a date. I mean I don't mind and I certainly won't say that out loud…

"Sure thing."

We walk there, pay and wait for our own capsule or pod to come down. One eventually does and we both step in, but I notice that not many were here. I was sure this was famous in anime and couples liked it…!

D-Did they lie to me? I put my hand up and clenched my fist. I'll never forgive the Japanese!

[White one, he did the thing.]

{...…I hate how I know what you're talking about.}

[Winner: Ddraig. Suck it!]

'Oh? So you two are going to make love.'

{[No!!!]}

Momo looks at me confused by my actions.

"What are you doing?"

"Uh… Nothing, anyway, sorry for the short date."

"No… It's fine, we spent a bit more time in the sports shop. Sakura-san really needed a lot of new equipment, geez…"

I nod and sit beside her.

"Well, there's always another time."

After I said that, she blushed and glanced out the window. Our capsule was slowly reaching the top. Normally this is where some kind of confession or kiss happens, right? I also looked out the other window, but then looked back at Momo.

She was staring at me but seemed to be deliberating to herself about something. But she finally opened her mouth to say something.

"U-Um, Jin-senpai, do you like President Sona?"

I did not expect that question at all.

"Yeah, I do. I mean I wouldn't have asked her out on a date if I didn't, right?"

"O-Oh, r-right. Um… Jin-senpai, do you have space left in your harem?"

"Infinity does go on forever after all."

Hmm. That sounds philosophical, right? I nodded to myself.

'…No.'

Aren't you meant to support me in these trying times, Vel?

'…I will correct your stupidity when the time comes. The same with Amaris, Elsha and Cúntóir. We, the ones in your soul know more of your stupid thoughts more than anyone, J— Aaron.'

Ouch. Thank you, I think?

"Um… May I join…?"

I blink a few times before laughing. She seemed shocked at my reaction. I put my hand up and eventually stopped.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. It's just that... That's the weirdest way someone has asked me before. Normally wouldn't you say 'I like you!' or something along those lines? I've never heard that one before…"

Momo turned even redder but nodded.

"…I'm too embarrassed to say that…"

"That certainly will be a problem in the future."

"…?"

I lean towards her as she backs away, but she eventually hits the window and couldn't run away. I whispered into her ear.

"Saying it during intimate times would be crucial, you know? If you're too embarrassed, that would be a bit troubling."

I pull away and smirk a bit at her. Momo was already red so she wasn't changing any time soon. She fiddles with her fingers for a little bit while looking down, but she stops and looks back at me.

"…I-I-I-I l-l-like y-y-y-you…!"

"Hmm, well done."

"...…"

However, Momo squints her eyes at me waiting for my own answer. I chuckle and lean forward again and kiss her forehead.

"Does that count as an answer?"

Thud!

"…I guess it was too much."

Momo fainted and was slumped against the window; I sighed as the ride had come to an end and I had to carry her out.

"I-Is your friend okay?"

"Hmm? Oh yeah, don't worry about it."

The one watching the ride asked worriedly but I brushed off his concern. She probably fainted out of shock. As I carried Momo on my back, I felt her starting to wake up again.

"Mmm… Huh…? J-Jin-senpai? What happened?"

"Welcome back. Oh nothing, you just fainted after I kissed you."

"...…"

I felt her head sink more into my back as she fell silent. I made my way back to our original waiting spot and I finally let Momo down. However, nothing was said between us. I wanted to, but I was waiting for her to say something first.

"…T-Thank you for today, Jin-senpai. I really enjoyed myself, and thank you for putting aside time for my selfish request. U-Um, about payment…"

Payment? Er, I know I took this on as a 'request' but it was more of a date, and an outing between friends… Momo, you're taking this way too seriously. I sigh and put my hands on her shoulders surprising her a little.

"I already got my payment… You understand what I mean, right?"

She puts her head down and quietly nods. She's really not good with this relationship thing, huh?

"Then that's fine. I can walk you home if you wa—"

"N-No! I'm fine! Thank you very much!"

Before I could react, Momo quickly power walked away. Geez, I wonder if she'll be slower than some other girls I know. Those twenty years I spent with the girls, some were quite slow on the whole romance and intimacy thing. But since I'm dating Momo now, should I include the Sitri peerage in my next escapade in the [Pocket Dimension]? …I'll mull it over.

I watched Momo until her figure had fully disappeared in the distance and I also went home.

????

"…"

<…>

I was in the infinite black void again, but this time I was standing in front of what I thought to be 'Azathoth'. Now to me, Azathoth had always been genderless, but after seeing the eye, I started referring to Azathoth as a 'he'. It's my fault for not asking Cúntóir about Azathoth in detail, I should be able to now, right?

I did get my first requirement. I also don't know how long we've been silently staring at each other. This is because the passage of time in this place is weird. Hours could go by without me noticing it. But the silence is getting to me.

"Hello? Azzy? Azzo? Bazzo? Chazzo? Aza-chan?"

Oh? That last one made Azathoth's eye twitch. Hmm, maybe Nyarlathotep refers to 'her' as that? That's the only conclusion I can come to.

<…>

"…A staring contest, it is."

I sat down, and so did she, and we stared silently at each other's eyes.

This would be a lot more bearable if I could speak with Ddraig or something. After a few minutes of just staring, I got bored. So, I brought my right hand up and started shaking it before opening it. Yes, that's right… I'm playing rock, paper, scissors with Azathoth! Well, I was playing by myself since she wouldn't respond.

"…I win."

After doing this a few times, she slowly raised her hand and started to play along! Oh, I did not expect this at all! You do have a playful side! But each time we played; it ended in a draw. Well, I guess this makes sense, right? We're both pretty strong, so this just being draws isn't too unrealistic…

However, Azathoth's expression never changed. She remained stoic the entire time. I don't get it, from just being a giant ass eyeball to this. What are you playing at, Azathoth…?

"Ah— It's ending."

The place started to fade, and before I fully left… Her face finally changed. She was… Looking sadly at me? …Why? Explain in words, dammit!

Japan, Kuoh

Next day

As soon as I woke up, someone's ass was in front of me… Who the hell…? Using a bird's eye view, I quickly found out who. It was Ingvild. Weird curiosity took over me and I poked it, and poked it… I repeated this a few times until she started to rustle and turn around. Both looking embarrassed and slightly angry.

"…What are you doing?"

"Honestly, I don't know. I got curious. I've only felt your ass a few times. I know it's soft and squishy, but…"

Fully turning around, she covers my mouth with both her hands while blushing even more.

"…Stop, I get it… Geez. Oh, about that thing we texted about yesterday? Yua-san said she didn't mind going on a date with him, so please tell Najima-kun to be on his best behavior."

Best behavior…? What is he, a dog?

"Yua…. Yua who?"

"Yua Amasawa-san."

"Ah, the one that has black hair and a long ponytail?"

"…"

Ingvild was looking at me with cold dead eyes. I'm sorry! It's already established that I like ponytails! She sighs and shakes her head then begins to play with her hair.

"…Do you want me to have a ponytail…? I did try it out during our last training session but…"

"It's fine, Ingvild. Look, I admit I like ponytails, and that's how I remembered your friend Yua, but like it's not that important, so ju—"

Yank! Squish ~

"Mmm?!"

"Mmm ~"

I was suddenly pulled into somebody's boobs! I know these… They're Gabriel's. It also seems like she is still asleep. I didn't think she'd be this greedy in her sleep. Ingvild was a bit surprised, but chuckled at the sight.

Cúntóir… What time is it?

Cúntóir: Answer: 7:52 a.m. Asia Argento is already downstairs and ready.

Crap, I can't stay here and slack off then… Phasing through Gabriel's grip, once I was out of her arms, she frowned in her sleep and looked a bit upset. Even while asleep she makes me feel guilty by doing that to her…

Ingvild clung to me, so I carried her out with me. Once outside my room I let her down and we walked downstairs and into the kitchen. Inaie, Raiko, Grayfia and Asia were already up—

Gyu ~

"Oh, hey Penemue… Actually, I have a question."

"Is it about my boyfriend? ~"

"Eh? Penemue-san has a boyfriend?"

Ingvild asks and looks at me confused. I shrugged and we heard her giggle behind me.

"It's just made up ~ I didn't want Nakamura-sensei or any other student asking me about it constantly. But I doubt it would work since I magically got one after those rumors started after all."

"Ah, I see…"

At least I got the answer I was looking for. Ingvild shuffles over to sit on the couch while Penemue keeps on hugging me from behind. Inaie, Raiko, Grayfia and Asia were all cooking. I feel like I'm not cooking enough anymore…

Since these three (Inaie, Raiko, and Grayfia) typically prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I rarely get to cook, only when I decide to practice a little more is when I do cook. Most of the time, they kick me out.... I need to make another space where I can practice making the new dishes and add my own touch to them.

"My status as a cook is in danger…"

I muttered and sat down beside Ingvild. Both women hugged each other as Penemue sat on the other side. But cooking aside, I wonder what will happen today? I won't need to worry about Momo since we went out yesterday.

Bzt ~

|Can't wait for today ~ my cougar powers are rising! Asia said she would make lunch for us all, so it was up to me to pick out a spot for the picnic! I found a great place ~|

Lunch, huh? I see, so that's why Asia's helping with breakfast today, she's making our lunch along with it. I'm guessing Grayfia is also helping with that.

|Yeah, we'll be there soon. Probably around ten or eleven?|

|That's fine ~ there's someone who wants to meet with you! We'll be staying here for a short while, oh it's in The Land of Heaven Falls by the way ~ so just teleport here when you two are ready! We'll be spending our time in the supernatural side of Ireland rather than in the human realm!|

|I see.|

|'I see' what do you mean I see?! Have a better reaction than that, Harem King-sama!|

...Like what?

"Tell her you'll screw her brains out tonight, Jin ~"

"…What?"

I look to my right and Penemue had been looking at me texting Áine. She and everyone else knew more or less what to expect out of this. I've already told them of her betrayal to the alliance. Grayfia, who was as systematic as ever, wanted to report her immediately, but I told her to wait.

I'll contact them myself. I want to find out why. I know her history from my world, and also saw that one of her husbands, Ailill Aulom was resurrected as a Divine Beast, and a dragon at that. I'm curious if she knows or if she doesn't know about that. No, knowing Khaos Brigade, probably not.

They're just using her, and she's using them. It's more of a give-and-take relationship, but even so, she's still betraying us. She'll need to be punished. But I'll try to get them to let me do it instead. How? I have zero idea right now, but… I guess sealing her powers would be a start, and keeping her in a place where she can't do it again as easily…

So maybe in the Tuatha Dé Danann's realm? There are multiple Gods and Goddesses there. It sounds like Danu and this person we'll meet goes there regularly now… I'll also need to monitor her. I'll put one of my most recent shadows in hers then.

"Is that silence a yes to my suggestion?"

"…No."

I'm glad she's more open to me, but I feel like she's become a little more…

[Horny around you?]

'{'Language!'}'

[Why are three of you doing this now?!]

Rudra, Velgrynd and Albion just laughed at Ddraig. Come on guys, don't bully Ddraig too much.

[Partner is my only ally! Uuuuuoooo!!!]

No need to be that dramatic…

"You already know why she's doing this, Penemue, so no. I'll need to ask her a few things when Asia and I go there."

"Hmm ~ oh, I wonder why she allowed Asia-chan to go? Perhaps she has her own plans?"

I don't know, but if she does, we're ready. So we don't need to worry about it too much. Of course, as I mentioned the other factor is Khaos Brigade… Hmm, if I meet Nuada today I may just inform him about it in private. I may also inform him about my plans for having her there.

{How so, Jin?}

Apart from sealing her powers, I will make it physically impossible for her to leave The Land of Heaven Falls. She's literally trapped there. I don't know what kind of mental state Áine will be in after this all ends, but I want her to be in an environment where she can get help.

I'll also ask Danu and whoever the other person I'm meeting today. If they're friends with her, then all the better. I know I can trust Danu on that part.

{I see, just like Raynare, huh? Will you unseal her powers when she improves?}

Yes, just like Raynare and her group… Well, Mittelt is still the odd one out, but still. Hmm, speaking of Raynare…

"Hey, Penemue. How's Raynare these days?"

"Hmm-hmm. You aren't satisfied with one Fallen Angel, and now you want another one? I see how it is, Jin-kun."

She lets go of my arm, crosses hers and nods like she just arrived at the answer to all life's questions.

"…"

"Not to mention you have Akeno-chan, and Inaie-chan too!"

Clank! Drop ~

We hear someone dropping something in the kitchen and we look over there. Inaie who had been working diligently looks at Penemue and me while blushing.

Chop!

"Don't tease Inaie too much."

I chop her on the head as she turns away in a huff.

"Hmph!"

I make the spatula she had float back into her hands and clean it. She nods before turning around while still blushing. She blushes at most things, even though she's seen me in more questionable situations before. Inaie needs to get used to it soon… Even both Irina and Griselda are numb to it now.

"Breakfast will be done soon."

Grayfia says while looking at Penemue who stuck her tongue out at the woman. Geez, try acting your ag—

Bonk!

"Hmm?"

"...…I said act your age."

Doom!

A dangerous aura started to emanate from Penemue and I got up.

"Anyway, I'll go wake up the others."

"Don't run away, Skyward!!!"

I indeed ran away, but for completely different reasons.

????

????

"Is everything ready?"

"Yes, Ailill Aulom-sama."

"Good, how about our backup?"

"Medusa? Yes, she is also ready, however… She isn't responsive anymore, or at all to begin with. She's become a robot."

"It matters not. As long as she's helpful with the assault."

Kukuku, being revived was indeed a beautiful thing, and even my own powers are far more powerful than when I was a human. Divine Beast, and a mix of a dragon. Beautiful indeed. After my subordinate left, I was left alone.

"Ah… Áine, I can't wait for you to bear my children again! I also need to repay you for biting my ear off my old body, kukuku."

It's also comforting to know that Medusa herself is going to be helping with this, even though she's an emotionless robot. However, I heard from Mard Geer that her screams from before she was turned were wonderful.

"Hmm? Oh, if it isn't Ptah, how can I help you?"

"You received authorization from Lapis to do this?"

"Even if I'm nothing more than a Divine Beast, I am still part of the newest generation... I'm just an experiment, so I'll go about it my way while causing as much chaos as I possibly can. So, why are you here?"

"I will be providing some of my own 'Divine Beasts'."

"Is it a combination of your own powers and Avezza's genius?"

Ptah silently nods. Oh good, I get more toys to play with. I have no interest in other things. As long as I can claim Áine for myself, the rest can perish.

Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine Áine

Wait for meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee !!!!!!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Japan, Kuoh

Skyward Household

Jin Skyward

"Are we ready, Asia?"

"Yes, Jin-san!"

Asia who was coming with me was in her nun outfit. I suggested she wear something else but she said she felt the most comfortable in this… But we did get another unexpected guest who was traveling with us…

"And you, Raynare?"

"…I-I'm ready."

Penemue was responsible for it. I had to contact Áine again and she gave the okay. It was surprising to see Raynare at the peak of Middle-class power. She's definitely been working on getting stronger, I'm strangely proud of her.

"Alright. I'll hopefully see you all tonight, if not then tomorrow."

"Good luck, Jin, Asia, Raynare!"

Akeno for some reason, has been very friendly towards Raynare. She was quite surprised when she was brought here by Penemue. However, I'll take it as a good thing, and Lavinia who would usually be saddened by me leaving was calm… Almost too calm. I was a bit worried.

But she just gave me her usual smile and waved me off. I didn't feel anything negative coming from her.

I guess their super clingy phase is slowly coming to an end…? It feels a bit lonely, to be honest. But it's a good thing, so I won't say anything! Off to Ireland we go!

Some slice of life with normal human drama plus an unexpected confession from Grayfia! A bit of set up to the 2 part (I think?) of Ireland and Áine's fate. An unexpcted character showed up (Medusa). After the short arc of Áine, we'll be going back to Greek God's realm and Jin will finally meet Freyja. I'll also touch upon Ares, Athena and more on Medusa during those parts.

Who knows, we might have a Goddess as part of the harem soon?
