Miach Familia

Damn-

I'm drained.

Using [Time Manipulation] drains my [Mind] to its last drop.

I have all these good versatile skills, but I'm limited by my [Mind] reserves.

*[Mind] is the energy resource in Danmachi equivalent to [Mana].*

I'm getting dizzy.

The lack of [Mind] is taking effect.

[Notice. Energy reserves had reached a critical level.]

I know…

[Notice. The user will undergo sleep mode.]

Damn, I'm screwed.

Too much for acting cool in front of Ryuu.

[Please find a safe location to rest.]

Unfortunately-

I cannot.

"…"

*Thud*

[Notice. Applying protective measures…]

[Notice. Defensive measures have been activated… ready to strike at any opportunity.]

Seji dropped on the ground unconscious, but his high luck didn't disappoint him.

[Notice. A presence has been detected.]

It was at this moment when a long dark blue hair and dark blue eyes man? Happen to pass by.

A god.

The god wore a black robe, a tan brown stole that reaches down past his shoulders, and brown shoes.

Seeing someone unconscious on a conspicuous alley, the kind god quickly approached Seji.

[Notice. The presence is not hostile.]

[Notice. Cancellation of defensive measures.]

Seeing no injuries whatsoever on Seji the god let out a sigh of relief.

"He must have used up all his mind."

The god deduced after examining the unconscious young man.

"This is the sign of mind zero."

*[Mind Zero] is simply when you use too much magic and pass out due to the stamina drainage.*

The god looks around a second for any belongings but seeing none he went straight and picked up the unconscious Seji, putting him on back and carrying him back to his small abode.

A few minutes of walking the god felt exhausted.

After descending in the lower world they lost their powers, and they've become no better than a normal human due to the contract they have to sign with Ouranus, the dungeon and to the spirit ego world.

*Just a reminder this is an AU version, some of the terminology of Danmachi doesn't really apply in this story.*

*The same can be said to SAO it's also an AU.*

Though everything wasn't gone.

Gods can bless mortals by becoming a part of their Familia.

A term used by gods to identify their respective organizations.

After a few minutes of exhausting walk the god finally arrived home.

He was greeted by a Chienthrope.

His one and only remaining children.

She has long brown hair, purple eyes, dog ears, and a tail.

She wears a skirt from which her tail sticks out and a peculiar shirt with asymmetric sleeves, with the left being short and the right being long enough to cover her entire arm, in addition to a glove on her right hand.

Her right arm was actually a prosthesis that she wore to replace her missing arm after losing it in an incident in the dungeon.

The prosthesis was made of silver polished like a blade and had gems embedded in the joints that allowed one to see through.

Seeing someone is on the back of her god she squinted her eyes.

"Who is it this time you have picked up?"

The chienthrope asked the god with a raised eyebrow.

"I don't know.

I just found him in an alley, mind zero."

The god replied shrugging the back of his head.

This is not the first time he has brought an unconscious stranger into their home.

He couldn't help it.

It's in his nature to help the unfortunate.

The chienthrope let out a sigh.

"Well this is better than you picking up girls in the dungeon."

The god just shucked to the chienthrope's words.

The chienthrope realizing her own words she also let out a chuckle.

She then helped her god put down the unconscious man to a sofa.

"He doesn't seem to be an adventurer.

He is more like a noble.

And he looks very adorable for a grown man."

Said the Chienthrope after she was done scrutinizing the high-quality clothes, golden trinkets and Seji face.

"I have the same thoughts."

The god added in agreement.

The young man doesn't really look like an adventurer.

He also excludes this strong charismatic aura.

"I hope he is not similar to those damn arrogant nobles…"

Said by the chienthrope making the god develop a weary smile.

"We can only hope so."

.

.

.

[Notice. Sleep mode ended.]

[Welcome back master.]

My blurry vision subsided.

The first thing I heard after waking up was [Great Sage's] robotic voice greeting me.

How long have I been asleep?

I asked great sage.

[Approximately 15 minutes and 42 seconds.]

I thought it would take longer.

[It should have only taken 2 minutes, but master seems to enjoy the sleep that's the reason why it took longer.]

*Deadpan*

Forget about that…

Where am I?

What a rough sofa this is.

I looked down to where I was put down, and I couldn't help but complain inwardly.

"Sorry about that."

I heard a voice coming from the wide open door.

Wide open because there's no door to begin with.

!!?

I was surprised.

I already sense someone else's presence all along thanks to my [Universal Perception] but sensing no hostile intentions coming from the other party I just waited for her to initiate a conversation.

But after seeing her with my own eyes my act turned into a real surprise.

Wow-

Dog ears and a dog tail.

Is she one of those chienthropes.

I couldn't help myself from becoming curious.

Wait she looks a bit familiar.

Just as I was trying to remember who she is another person entered the room interrupting my train of thought.

Um-

Now this is someone I really knew.

Isn't he god Miach.

I remembered him.

He is one of my favorite characters in Danmachi.

A virtuous, righteous, and kind god.

Someone rare in the community of enjoyment seeking morons.

Moreover-

He isn't naïve.

And I like his stubbornness to help others in need.

Though the same cannot be said to me though.

I wouldn't mind helping others, but I have my priorities.

I'm a bit selfish and greedy.

I like how stubborn he is to what he believes.

Yet at the same time not a hypocrite.

And this stubbornness of him just saved me.

[Affirmative, individual Miach have lent master a hand.]

Thank you great sage.

And this girl must be his one and only familia.

There should be two more, but they aren't here.

I hope I'm not at the timeline where Bell had already trashed the pervert god Apollo.

But seeing that only Miach and the chienthrope girl are present to greet me that might not have come yet.

I'm also confident that I'm not far from the cannon seeing that the chienthrope had already lost her arm.

What is her name again?

I forgot.

Nevermind-

I can just ask it later.

"I'm Seji Garcia I apologize for the trouble I've caused you two, and thank you for helping me."

I stood up from the sofa and gave the two a simple bow.

"At least he is not as arrogant as those nobles."

The chienthrope girl commented.

"Naza…"

The god shakes his head.

So her name is Naza.

*Laughing*

"Did he lose his mind?"

The chienthrope girl who goes by the name Naza asked while glancing at me.

"No I'm perfectly sane."

"To begin with I'm not of noble birth."

Naza squinted her eyes.

"Your clothes look too well to just be any common cloth.

And you exude this demeanor and presence only exclusive to gods and aristocrats."

Said Naza with a raised eyebrow.

She must be referring to divine clothes.

Well, she isn't really wrong.

Gaining [Star King Kirito's] identity didn't just give me his abilities and experience, I also received his values, emotions, and presence.

I'm probably exuding the aura of an ancient king who rules over an entire world.

The only reason why I'm not affected by [Star King Kirito's] emotions is due to my usage of [Mental Manipulation] and [Soul Manipulation] to completely erase the emotional aspect and value so that I wouldn't lose my own identity.

"Well I'm not of noble birth because I'm a former king."

I said in a nonchalant manner while shrugging the back of my head awkwardly.

"Now that's more unbelievable."

"He is not lying."

God Miach said making Naza eyes widen.

"You look too young to be a king."

"I may look like this, but I'm more than 200 years old."

This time both Naza and God Miach look at me in shock.

"Though only in mentality."

I then gave them a brief summary about me having Kirito's memories.

I made it as vague as possible.

They now think that I have inherited my former life's memories.

And to this explanation Miach believe it.

"While I'm not a god who governs reincarnation there are rare instances when a soul is able to retain his/her memories even after reincarnation."

That was what God Miach told us making my story more believable.

My action might sound foolish even for me but in front of literal walking lie detectors I might as well create a not so far off story to put off their growing curiosity before it reached a certain level.

I also intend to join the Miach Familia because I already like the two of them.

I might as well give the two a helping hand.

I'm someone who repayes debts and with a great interest at that.

Naza might be a little blunt and sly, but she's only acting like this in concern for her god.

I get what she is doing because I've been in the same situation in my past life.

*Naaza Erisuis wouldn't be part of the Harem because at this time she already developed deep feelings for God Miach and one that bloomed through gratitude, Miach sacrificing all of his Familia's money to obtain her prosthesis.*
