CHAPTER 22

"Don't worry, Kuroka. In time Koneko-chan will understand too, and I'll help you I'll help you make things right with Koneko." Solas said while patting Kuroka.

"Really nya~?"

"Of course. Siblings should not be offended."

"Ara ara~ Actually, Koneko-chan doesn't remember what happened." Akeno said.

"Hm really nya~?"

"Koneko-chan actually only knows that you killed your master then many devils feared your race and demanded Koneko-chan's execution and Koneko-chan became depressed and had problems with her memory now what she remembers about the past are memories that make her fear you." Akeno explained.

"See, Kuroka, all you have to do is explain it properly to Koneko-chan, I'm sure Koneko-chan will understand."

"Really nya~? Then I'll do my best nya~"

"Meanwhile, Koneko-chan doesn't use her original racial abilities due to her trauma. On a self-made account, she thinks that Kuroka's actions are due to senjutsu. She perceives senjutsu as a malevolent art." Akeno added.

"Hm, It's true that senjutsu is a somewhat demanding art and can drive a person crazy if not used properly nya~ I wish I could teach my Shirone properly nya~"

"Ara ara~ really?"

"Yes, actually the principle of senjutsu is to use the free energy in nature, but the energy around is not completely pure, so it must be purified and absorbed nya~ If you don't know this method, you will be corrupted by the evil energy nya~"

"Then I'm lucky to have been properly educated, right?" Solas said.

"Husband, do you know Senjutsu nya~?" Kuroka asked.

"I know not only senjutsu but also youjutsu."

"Master, aren't you also a master at spells and weapons? How many techniques or arts do you have?" Seras asked.

"I don't know, I never counted. I learned what came my way, I'm not picky." Solas answered.

"And Solas-sama is only 18, it feels like all my years of life have been empty." Esdeath said.

"Solas-sama is really weird." Kuro said.

"Ugh..."

""Hahahahahahaha...""

"Sir, is it really okay for me to listen to these kinds of things?" Zest said.

"I think there is no problem."

"Sols-san, who is this woman?" Asia asked.

"Of course I forgot to explain. Her name is Zest..."

So Solas fully explained to those at the table what had happened today. He told about Zest and Zolgear as well as everything Zolgear tried to do to Kuroka.

"Hero husband nya~"

"So the Zolgear man offered his servant in exchange for his own life. But master, I would not have thought that you would accept such an offer." Seras said.

"Do you think I would simply accept it like that? If Zolgear is lucky, he may live for at most 1 more year and will suffer all year." Solas said.

"Hm? How? Did you put some kind of curse on him?" Kurome asked.

"Curse-like things can be healed, but old age cannot."

"Old age?" Shuri asked.

"I completely destroyed the magic circuit inside Zolgear. I deprived him of every single energy. His life energy is almost depleted. He currently has the physique and strength of a human in his 70s. Even if he uses artifacts that will support his life energy, his life can be extended to a maximum of 1.5 years because I damaged his soul along with the magic circuit. Of course, if he gets fire up and uses his life energy or the energy of his soul as magic power, he will die very soon. Also, he is a devil nobleman and a noble who has lost all his powers, what do you think happens to a noble who has lost all his powers in the underworld?"

"It is consumed and destroyed by other clans." Ingvild said.

"Ara ara~ I never knew my son could do such things. Hey Ingvild, is my son this cruel in bed too?" Shuri said.

"Shuri-san!" Ingvild's face turned red at the sudden perverted question, and she tried to hide her red face with her hands.

"He is so gentle and nice." Ingvild muttered quietly.

"Wow husband lets make kitties nya~"

"No you won't there is a line here!" Lilith said suddenly.

"But I already have a promise from a long time ago, so I have to be at the top of the line nya~"

"It doesn't matter because you come later, you're at the end of the line."

"You are so mean nya~ Husband nya~?" When Kuroka looked over to where Solas was, she realized that Solas was no longer there.

"Where is husband nya~?"

"While you were arguing, Solas-sama left because he had work to do." Esdeath answered.

"Ufufufufufuf... What work?" Akeno asked.

"Oh I remembered Solas told me this morning, "I'm going to do an inspection in Kuoh after school to make my sister's school life safer." he said."

"Ara ara~ Akeno, do you see how much your brother loves you?"

"Ufufufufufufuf... Of course mom."

So after Solas left, the whole table had turned into a girl talk. Although Zest remained off topic, he actually enjoyed these conversations quite a lot. The main subject of the conversation was, of course, Solas.

"Hey Ingvild-chan, can you tell me the most romantic thing Solas has done nya~?" Kuroka asked.

Suddenly everyone at the table shifted their focus to Ingvild. Everyone was staring at Ingvild's mouth.

"H-He singed for me."

""Really?!"" Although Solas was a kind person, in the end, Solas looked like someone in the dark, but suddenly what Ingvild was saying was Solas singing was truly incredible.

(Flashback)

(Few years ago. The first date of Solas and Ingvild as lovers.)

All day long, Solas and Ingvild went to amusement parks and entertainment centers and had fun. It was an unforgettable day for both of them.

Afterwards, Solas decided to surprise Ingvild and took her to a hill where the stars were clearly visible when the day was over.

On the hilltop, Solas and Ingvild lay on the grass, and the starry night sky was just above them. Ingvild hugged Solas, and then the lyrics started pouring out of Solas' mouth.

[My heart is drunk~]

"Solas-san?"

[Underneath the skies~]

[What nice to make love~]

[Underneath the skies~]

'' (repeat)

[A river of blue light

A swing in the shade

We left a two

Under the stars~]

[Under the stars

Even though my heart burns and death takes me

Even though my eyes close

Under the stars~]

(Author's Note: Readers, this song is normally written in my original language in my country. That's all I could find in English. If you want to listen, it's called: Yıldızların Altında.)

(Flashback ends)

"Did he really singed this song?"

"I didn't know Master was so romantic. I wonder if he will sing for me someday?" Seras said.

"He might."

Thus, the conversation between the women became even more heated.

(Solas)

Meanwhile, Solas sensed the presence of 4 fallen angels in Kuoh and decided to go there for a small interrogation.
