Once all the girls came back, I was more or less smothered in hugs by Haruhime and the others with even the somewhat shy Lilli coming in for a stomach-turning hug as she used her great strength to possibly cripple me so I couldn't leave again.
Meanwhile Freya was beginning to look somewhat different as her pregnancy had actually settled in after the couple months, she had conceived but with the long gestation she wasnt showing any physical signs of it.
"So Shinobu how do you feel about this world so far?" I asked the butterfly Hashira as she smiled and settled down next to me as the rest of the girls went to drop off their purchases with Hestia being dragged off by Freya and Syr to discuss the vacation I was planning on taking us too.
Shinobu who had changed her Hashira inner outfit, a bit with a shirt that exposed a bit of her cleavage smiled and leaned up against me as she hummed in thought. "Well to be blunt its very much a change from our Earth. But to be needed with the demons being gone was a dream we never had a real chance to contemplate."
She then patted my leg as she continued to speak. "Frankly all the Hashira's that you brought here all had their... Issues. Rengoku hovers over his mother and even I admit to being slightly protective of my sister Kanae." She said wryly.
I nodded kinda understanding their desire to watch over their ghostly relatives I had summoned back from the dead but on the other end. That won't need to be as much of an issue now that Morgan was here and could make them all bodies matching their souls in the course of a few weeks.
"The lady with silver hair Morgan will be creating your sister a real body for her to inhabit so she will be herk!" I coughed as Shinobu's gentle leaning against me turned into her grabbing onto my shoulder as she affirmed the details.
"Thats great news... Now I just need to worry about my big sister continuing to pester me about joining your bed Hehe." She chuckled as she smiled cupped her chin with her hands as she stared straight ahead before turning back to look at me. "You should spend some time with Mitsuri she would enjoy getting to know you a bit better. The guys you brought have already well settled down with Gyomei already helping Syr with the orphanage she sponsors and that lady Tsubaki hmm..." She trailed off before smiling wryly.
"That lady knows what she wants, and I wouldn't be surprised to see themselves getting hitched as it were Haha." She chuckled in schadenfreude as she obviously was thinking about teasing Gyomei.
"I am glad he has found his place so easily. Oh yeah how is the Mist Hashira Muichiro? Has he settled in as well?" I asked seeing as he was a bit reticent about actually coming here to begin with, not to mention how I wasn't able to resurrect his sibling as whatever entity was guarding the afterlife in Demon Slayer got tired of me stealing souls.
Shinobu's gentle smile grew as she nodded. "Lady Freya took him under her wings and he has grown quite a bit under her tutelage. Now he is basically the captain of her new blossoming Familia for the backline of our joined Familias."
"Thats great." I said briefly giving Shinobu her own hug as Haruhime came out of her room and began walking over to me.
"Well, I need to go make sure Kanae isn't getting up to any mischief." Shinobu said as she stood up and stretched as Haruhime gracefully nodded to the Hashira and walked past her as she directly sat on my lap.
"Hmm I missed you as well Haruhime. Oh by the way why I was gone I met a kitsune sort." I said as I pulled out my ever-filling photo album I had been making and showed Haruhime a picture of Tamamo as her own nine tails curled around my body almost possessively at the sight of another kitsune.
"What was she like?" Haruhime asked softly as she stared at the picture of Berserker Tamamo being a Tamamo and harassing her master Fujimaru.
Hearing Haruhime asking about what kind of person Tamamo was and her berserker form to boot...
"To put lightly she is rather obsessive of that woman in the picture." I muttered as not only did she have the typical Tamamo master=spouse mindset. But she also had the particular insanity present in every berserker class Servant.
"Well, you don't have to worry about me Jake." Haruhime whispered as she leaned her back against my chest and threaded her fingers between my hands that were already wrapped around her stomach.
I coudnt help but chuckle and the vibrations of the motion made Haruhime's golden fox ears atop her head twitch as I spoke softly. "Honestly of all my woman that I have slept with you are literally the one with the least hang ups. Thanks for not causing me any stress." I whispered kissing the back of her head.
As a whole all the so called 'waifus' of Danmachi fitted into an archetype with Haruhime falling to into the gentle princess type but it was offset with the stigma of her being forced into being a prostitute but with her fainting spells she was still a virgin once I uhm. Got my hands on her and brought her unconscious body back here.
So rather than the sometimes-violent tsundere actions of Lilli and the possessiveness of Hestia, she simply just enjoyed spending time with me and knowing I was enjoying the time we spent together whether it was us just having a picnic together in the beautiful back yard of the church or we were in bed together working up a sweat.
Hence why she was the least stressful of my women.
After talking with Haruhime a bit more, Hestia and Freya walked up from the basement and walked over to me Haruhime moved to sit beside me so I could take to Hestia and Freya took a seat in front of me. "So, me and Freya talked a bit, and we agreed going to that world you described with Ghouls or monsters that ate humans would make for a good vacation as it would give our new Demon Slayer friends something to hunt and help them crest over into level two as they have long since picked up the experience to level up and get the Abnormal Resistance skill that will make their Breathing Styles much more effective." Hestia spoke and Freya nodded as I ran over my somewhat contrasting memories of Tokyo Ghoul as the Anime messed up the story going a different direction from the manga or light novel just like how Akame Ga Kill did the same.
So just to be safe I would try to aim for the Anime version in the beginning of the series as those memories were far more memorable so I would know generally what I was dealing with.
I bet the corpses of Ghouls would make phenomenal weapons and armor with how the people of the world already use their ghoul body parts to make weapons to hunt those monsters.
"They all already know where we are going?" I asked and the girls nodded, and I blew out some air as I nodded and stood up with Haruhime hurrying to her feet to match me. "Very well we will be leaving in let's say three hours so Morgan gets some time to setup her gestation pods and by the time we return all the bodies for people will be grown to the point where we can stuff the loose souls into them."
