Paperwork and Hot Spring

~8 December 2006~

"Urgh"

"Master, if you are so tired, why don't we go to the hot spring?"

It has been more than two weeks since I got Dracula's title bestowed upon me by the Carmilla faction's former queen, Liliana Filotti Carmilla. It also has been a few weeks since I united all magical communities in Romania under a single banner, Vongola.

It was also when my paperwork doubled in number, from trade agreements the other countries offer to us to refugees from other countries. There is also a problem with the other faction that wants to see if the rumor of Romania's unification is true.

There is also an invitation to dinner from many different factions. From the Greek Pantheon to Shinto Pantheon. Luckily, I still have time to prepare as they invite me in the middle of January. I feel that they want to try digging around for a while and see what my capabilities truly are.

If what Liliana says to me is true, my overall power should be low to medium Ultimate rank. However, it was just pure firepower, if I combine the effect of my flame, I can MAYBE fight high Ultimate beings, but my guardian warns me that I should not test that, and I agree with them. I still want to be alive.

There is also a problem of mercenaries that come to Romania to either make Romania their base or come for a job given by someone. Like many good things happening because of Romania's unification, there are also bad things.

For example, many people are trying to make a hole in Romania's barrier that Medea and Kushina made. Lucky for us, Magecraft and Fuuinjutsu are something new in this world, so the people that try to create a hole in the barrier easily get arrested and interrogated by CEDEF personnel.

Right now, The elves and Kushina shinobi squad create a barrier that covers all of Romania. If the plan is successful, people can only teleport freely to Constanta, where many of our men will monitor all guest movement.

With this, we can closely monitor all the people walking inside Romania, and if there are a strange movement and people with a bad intention, our force will take care of it immediately. While this move makes us look like an isolated country, it also solidifies our position as a Natural ground.

"I guess the paperwork can wait for a little bit longer."

By increasing the number of people getting in and out of Romania, the Hot spring nekomata build also gets an increasing number of customers who want to try their service. At the same time, the increase of customers in their hot spring resort also increases the intel they can gather from the costumer. The people of Paw Spring can handle the spy that tries to gather information and even do a counterspy to the people sending the spy to our territory. The reason is that this place not only serves as a hot spring resort but also a hidden base of the Shinobi squad that Kushina trains.

"Fufufufu. Master~"

"Yes?"

"Not too long ago, you said that you would fulfill my wish, right?"

"Of course. I will fulfill your wish with all I got."

"Fufufufu. Then I will take that promise today."

"What do you have in mind?"

"Fufufufu~ We will see~ Please wait for me in the gate. Okay, ?~."

"Sure"

I walk away from my office and go to the castle gate. I don't know what Medea has prepared for me, but I am looking forward to it.

Dammit! Something is rising, and it was not Shield Hero! Hold… Hold…

"Master!"

I snap from my thoughts and at my back. It was Medea wearing her casual outfit.

"You look great, Medea."

"Thank you, Master."

"Shall we?"

"En, We shall"

We walk toward our destination, and I sometimes wave at the people that greet me on the way there. There is also an invitation from one of the ladies from Royal White Brothel, but I reject their offer politely.

As we arrive at our destination, the Paw Spring. The most famous hot spring in Faysummit. As we enter the building, we are greeted by one of the receptionists.

"Ah! L-Lord Lexian! W-Welcome to Paw shrine! My name is Amaya Hide. What can I do for you today?"

"Ahhhh, I want to ask if the private room is still available?"

"There is always room for you, My Lord! L-Let me guide you there."

"Thank you."

Amaya Hide, one of Kushina's lieutenants. This is one of her personalities, Timid and a little bit clumsy but behind this persona is a master of disguise and a master of information gathering. Amaya Hide race is Tanuki Youkai. Tanuki is well known as a master of disguise and cunning race. With her nature as Tanuki Youkai and Kushina training, she becomes a dangerous person to face.

"This is your room, My Lord. You can always come here without hesitation. We will always have a room for you, My Lord. Now, please enjoy our service. If you need anything, you can press the button on the remote over there."

"Thank you."

"It's my pleasure serving you, My Lord."

We spend our day in the resort, and when the night arrives, I sit down on the bed, waiting for Medea's surprise. As I lie around the bed, our bathroom room opens up, and coming from the bathroom is Medea wearing a sexy dark purple lingerie that only covers a little bit of her skin.

"This will be my wish. Ride me until morning."

"Your wish is my command."

That night I became a Rider with EX riding skill.

~The Next Day~

"Ugh?"

"Good Morning, master."

I look to my side and see Medea smiling at me. I smile back at her and touch her cheek and give it a light kiss.

"Good Morning Medea. How are you?"

"Great… Last night was… Magical."

I smile once again and slowly get up from the bed.

"So soon?"

"Sadly, yes. I have a meeting this morning with the Celtic faction."

"Oh? What for?"

"They want to buy some of our rare plants and some of our flame ore."

"Oh? Are you sure? Our flame ore is not something we can give to the other carelessly."

"Yeah, I know."

Flame Ore. It was an Ore that appeared in the underground tunnel beneath my castle. Medea and I theorize that it appeared because of the abundant flame in the air and the ground. Rather than ore, it was more like a crystal with different colors, and each color is the same color as the Dying Will Flame.

Each of Ore has different properties. The sky can harmonize the other properties and tie them together. Storm Ore is perfect for explosives because of its destructive and wild nature. Lightning Ore is used on weapon creation because of the hardening property that makes it more durable than normal swords. Rain Ore was used as a calming tool in the hospital and the animal farm. Sun Ore is used as an emergency healing tool. Cloud Ore was used as a fuel for the dwarven furnace and Elves enchanting table because of its Propagation property. Lastly, Mist Ore is used to creating a magical focus like Wand, Ring, or Staff.

"No. We will not sell Flame Ore, but we should sell them the rare plant we have."

"I see."

"Oh yeah, they are also asking for our alcohol."

"Heh, Irish"

"Yup~."
