Chapter 26

"Uriel! What is the meaning of this?" Grayfia goes up to Uriel intending to ask some questions.

Meanwhile, I take a look at Gabriel, her head is down but I can see her red ears. Seeing that Uriel is going to get talked back by Grayfia for some time, I ignore him in favor of talking to Gabby.

"Psst Gabriel? How are you?"

"I... I am fine thank you for asking. How are you, Merlin? I heard you had a child with Tiamat. I didn't have the time to ask last time we met."

"It's fine, I just came back from a major incident in the underworld. Also, my daughter is over there, the egg that's covered with pillows." I point at the vibrating egg.

I have a feeling she's going to be weak to me and Tiamat praising her.

"Why is she vibrating? Is that normal?"

"It appears she's cognizant, I doubt something similar would happen to you." I smile at her as her hand goes over her stomach.

"Well, I am feeling different already." She mutters.

"Hmm, something happened?" I raise an eyebrow.

"I keep eating apples, I ate the whole farm back at Garden." She says then her face goes red. "The other Angels kept smiling at me. It was so embarrassing."

I give her some headpats making her relax. It seems little Adam is earning his name's worth. I mean let's not kid ourselves, that child will be either named Jesus or Adam once he is born and I would prefer Adam over Jesus.

While I was making some small chat with Gabriel the rest of the house woke up as well. Uriel is rather loud... Maybe it's because he keeps shouting.

"How come he hasn't fallen with that attitude?" I ask Gabriel, she just giggles but doesn't answer.

Somehow Grayfia put Uriel back to his place and sat him down at the table to have breakfast.

I quickly told Angelica and Tiamat about Gabriel's new taste for apples to prepare something she would like.

"So, from the shouting, I am going to assume this is about Gabriel's pregnancy."

"Yes." Uriel sighs. "The plant, worked as promised but Gabriel is the first so she is kind of a symbol for the future of Heaven." Here Uriel sucks on his teeth to calm himself down. "Brother wanted her to be married right away."

"This is just engagement, for now, we want her to rest in Heaven and stay secure." I almost laughed when he said Heaven and Secure in the same sentence. "So marriage is going to be after the child's birth." Uriel took out a letter that contained more details.

Technically I am allowed to enter 6th Heaven with my new status. Michael even coded a secret message here saying he'll be grateful if I can optimize the system a bit more.

Yes, I just didn't add a clause saying they can have sex while high, I also took some load off their shoulders to ensure Gabriel won't be burdened by her job. I don't mind optimizing the system fully and automate it.

This marriage is not being made just because I got Gabriel pregnant. This is also Michael's way of protecting Heaven. After all, I snuck in without anyone's notice and changed stuff up, there's no knowing what I would do if I am not bound.

It works for me as well, Gabriel has no understanding of romantic relationships yet, even I have a better understanding of the topic. It would take too long to get her to understand it, I can do that while she lives here.

I look towards my women, I am slowly realizing that I need their opinions on things like this. (AN: It took him so long but he made it. I am so proud.)

Tiamat is shrugging with an uncaring smile I can feel the main wife aura oozing out of her, Angelica is holding cardboard saying 'Go Master Go!' and Vali is recording the event to torture Azazel.

"Well, I don't mind." I casually say.

Uriel's brows twitch, his halo flickers for a second before going back to normal. Too bad he saw through my teasing.

"Merlin, he is going to be your brother in law. You shouldn't bully my siblings okay?" Gabriel cutely says as she takes a hold of my hand.

*Snap*

"Dear sister, I remembered that I need to handle something back at Heaven. I am trusting Merlin will keep you safe." Uriel leaves, no one comments on his broken finger.

Dude just broke his finger to keep his calm. I should send him an anger management book or something similar for Christmas.

"Well, Gabby we don't know each other much yet but welcome to the ranks." Tiamat greets Gabriel with a steaming apple pie. That was some God speed cooking.

"Please take care of me." She answers but her hands are already reaching towards the pie.

Seeing her reaction to food I start to think. Maybe I should hire Nakiri Erina to cook for my wives on special days? Then again they might force me to permanently hire her afterward.

"Uhm Vali-chan?" Gabriel calls out to Vali who looks at her, Vali has been smiling like a villainess towards her phone. "How is Azazel? It has been a while since I saw him."

"He is drinking his sorrows away. He always wanted to sleep with you apparently." Vali answers.

"Yeah... I never quite understood why. Let's hope he'll get over it."

"By the way Vali, why are you so brutal towards him? He raised you right?" I ask out of curiosity.

"Shemhazai pays me for it. Apparently, it makes Azazel focus on his work after he gets sober." My face falls to the table.

Does she do all of that for just money? Poor Azazel.

..

"Merlin, I am going back to Heaven. Please do visit me, I wish to get to know you better." Gabriel smiles as she tries to teleport but it doesn't work.

"Gabby, see that door." I point towards the newest addition to our house. "Open it." Seeing her nod I take a step back.

Gabriel opens the door only to see her house on the other side. She turns to me with questions in her eyes.

"We both know my house is more secure than Heaven, I tied your house at 6th Heaven to that door. Just in case." This gesture earns me a smile before she leaves.

"All right let's go back to making a beast of calamity." I mutter to myself.

Going back to my desk I see that Tiamat and Angelica are already working on the equations, and how much of it we can skip with munchkin via Devil and Miracle magic. If it works why not use it?

"Master I believe I found a solution to the problem we ran into." Angelica passed me a paper.

The problem we are dealing with is the same with Tartarus, if I load the fluffy Fou with malice he will eventually become a hideous monster. I could have made a beast resembling Cath Palug but what's the point of that if it isn't authentic?

That isn't something we desire, we have been working on the problem for a while and Angelica's solution seems doable.

Fou-kun isn't just going to be my soul bound familiar but he will also be the Dungeon Master of the Dungeon.

Angelica proposed that if we put the Dungeon Core in his soul we can just channel the excess malice to the dungeon.

This actually helps with the dungeon as well, I can just teach Fou how to absorb malice without getting tainted and make the Dungeon Core less complicated.

Since Fou is going to be my soul-bound familiar he is going to be slightly affected by Blank, if I were to give him the core, the core would be affected as well albeit to a smaller degree which is fine, I want dungeon to grow not became sentient.

This will also give Fou some degree of recognition. How could my familiar not be famous on his own, it would be an insult to Cath Palug if he is only known as my familiar.

The Beast That Clears the World? Well, I think I should leave the naming to someone else.

"This is great Angelica." I pat her head.

"I am glad to be of service."

"Well, you earned yourself a date get ready."

"Eh... Ehhhhh?!" Angelica.exe stopped working.
