Chapter 8: This is the life~

"Ah, are you perhaps Sagiri Ameno-sama?"

Everyone turned towards the man who just spoke. He was handsome, and looks to be in his twenties, standing at 5'10 in height, and wearing a yellow kimono with lotus patterns.

He was smiling at them, or more precisely, at Sagiri, who looked bewildered.

"Ah, forgive me, I haven't introduced myself. I'm Haruto Iyanari, the manager of this hotel. I have received a message from the young master that Sagiri Ameno-sama along with her friends will be staying here, so I came to welcome you all."

He smiled at Sagiri.

Any other woman would have their heart skip a beat, but Sagiri immediately furrowed her brows and prepared for battle.

"How did you know me?" That's right, as a ninja, she was very cautious. She was sure that she didn't know this man or even seen him before, so how did he know her?

Haruto seems to notice her cautiousness and immediately took a step back as he raised his arms in surrender.

"Please calm down, Sagiri Ameno-sama, the young master's wife has given me a description of you. She said that a beautiful girl, with long purple hair tied to a side-ponytail with a shuriken-like hair design is Sagiri Ameno."

"Captain did?" Sagiri raised an eyebrow as she relaxed her guard, but decided to call her captain just to make sure.

"Let me confirm it."

Haruto smiled and nodded, "Go ahead, please take yourt time." He then turned towards Alex and the others, "You must be the friends of Sagiri Ameno-sama, its a pleasure to meet you all. And welcome to our hotel."

The others greeted him back and said some words of thanks, though Alex just looked a bit annoyed as he stared at the sky.

'Ikemen...should I just use Metamorphosis Magic to change my appearance?' However, he shook his head to rid of those ridiculous thoughts.

He isn't that desperate to have a handsome face.

"...I see, thank you Captain." Sagiri ended her call with those words as she turned towards Haruto, "...I apologize for my actions earlier, I'm indeed Sagiri Ameno, thank you for greeting us in person."

"Its fine," Haruto smiled as he nodded at them, "Now, please follow me, I will show you all to your respective rooms."

Everyone nodded and followed after him. On the way, they passed by several customers and workers who showed their surprise when they saw the manager leading a group of people.

Especially the costumers from the Supernatural side, since they knew just how high status of Haruto Iyanari is. Even in the Iyanari clan, he is greatly respected.

So they were very surprised when they saw him personally greeting a group of people.

"Here is the first room," Haruto stopped in front of a room with a "X100" sign in front of the door, "We actually have a lot of extra rooms just in case situations like this will happen. The room that the young master has given to you all have their own private baths, Kitchen, three individual beds etc. Ah, though one of them is a large bed for two or three people, young master said something about a family?"

Haruto raised an eyebrow as he scanned the group, and nodded in understanding when he saw Alex, Emi, and Alice.

Though the pair appears to be young to be having a child, Haruto, as a person from the supernatural side knows that there are skills, and items that could delay aging.

"Ah, don't you all have luggage with you?" Haruto asked, but then he suddenly thought of something, "Ah, do all of you perhaps have those storage spaces that was on the market just a week ago?"

Alex smirked, those storage space were something he made and sold. But of course, Alex didn't sell it with money but ores, jewels, gems, etc, after all his supply he brought from the Demon King castle won't last forever.

He already spent a lot of it making Mechachu and Joan d'Maid. He estimated that he would only be able to make 15 more mechas at Mechachu's level, and a couple dozens of mechas at Joan's level before he ran out of resources.

So he decided to sell some useless things in exchange for ores that he can use. He can also make ores and the like if he want, but the main reason why he decided to sell storage spaces in a shape of rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc, is because all of them were still accessible to him.

Meaning, he can just take things from the storage space of other people.

They didn't know any better. While they are thinking that their most precious, guarded item is safe in the storage, Alex can just take them all with a thought.

Now, how, when, and where did Alex began selling those storage spaces? The answer is, In the Dark Net. Its a website accessible only for those who possess a minimum of 10 thousand spirit powers.

If you have less, then even if you know about the website, then you wouldn't be able to see it. The Dark Net is a place where you can pretty much buy and sell everything you could ever think off.

The Dark Net also offers to deliver the items from the seller to the buyer for a small price.

No one knows who's the owner of the Dark Net or where it came from, they only know that during the World War 1, the Dark Net was already famous worldwide in the Supernatural side.

Everyone stared at Alex, who has this weird smile on his face, but it quickly disappeared soon after as if it was just an illusion.

"Yeah, we do indeed have storage spaces," Alex answered, his eyes then went to the ring that Haruto is wearing, "and it seems you also have one."

Haruto smiled and nodded, "Yes, it is a gift from the young master after I accomplished a mission he gave me."

Alex nodded and did not bother asking any more question. He turned towards the group and asked, "So? Who's going to take this room?"

The girls immediately turned towards the boys. Lucifer sighed, as he raised his hand, "Albert, Ashiya, and I will take this room."

Haruto nodded, "Very well. Then shall we proceed to the next room?"

Everyone nodded as they began to walk, following Haruto.

"My liege! Please do not hesitate to call if you are in need of my assistance!" Ashiya stated as Alex just gave him a nod.

With that, the three of them went inside their room to arrange their stuff.

Haruto stopped at the next room, and it was Hisui, Yaya, and Rika who chose it. Then, the room beside it was picked by Nonko, Sagiri, Yuuna, and Suzuno.

As for Emi, Alex, and Alice, their room was a bit further than the other two. But it was probably the biggest.

"Well then, if you have any questions or need any help, please do not hesitate to call." Haruto smiled at Alex before leaving them.

Alex closed the door and immediately put a bounded field around the room. It was just a simple sound proofing, anti-surveillance, and attack resistance type of bounded field.

Alex turned towards Emi and took out two bags from his Storage Space, "Here, you already checked it earlier right? Then just put them in the closet over there. This other bag is mine, Alice's and my clothes are there, so please arrange it?"

Emi's eye twitched but she said nothing and just put Alice on the bed before taking the bags from Alex's hands.

Alex just grinned before looking at his daughter, "Hey Alice, want to go and take a bath with Papa?"

Alice thought about it for a bit, before answering in a confused voice, "Papa and Mama won't go together?"

Emi almost tripped herself as she gave her supposed daughter a look of horror. She'd probably kill herself before she would even have the courage to take a bath together with the Demon King.

Alex, of course, noticed Emi's reaction and he could barely even restrain himself from laughing.

He decided to tease her a bit more.

"So you want to take a bath with Papa and Mama?" He asked.

"Un! I uh, haven't bath with Papa and Mama together, I want to go together with Papa and Mama!"

Alex smiled and turned his gaze towards Emi, who was looking at him with an almost begging look to decline that in way that won't make Alice cry.

He couldn't help but snicker, before he caressed Alice's head as she closed her eyes and released a satisfied sigh.

"You see Alice, Papa haven't took a bath earlier so I really need to go now, but it seems like your Mama is still busy so she can't go together."

"Un?" Alice turned towards Emi who was putting the clothes in the closet, before turning back to Alice, "T-Then, I, I wanna go with Mama."

"Alright, then we'll take a bath together next time," he smiled and kissed her in the forehead.

"Un!"

"Emi, I'm going to bath, don't peek alright?"

"That's my line! Idiot!"

With an amused snort, he walked towards the bath. He took off his clothes and wrapped a towel around his waist before he sat down to wash his body.

He raised an eyebrow when Jude-pendant glowed and disappeared, as he felt an ever so familiar soft and large mounds of flesh pressing on his back.

"Haaah~" Alex released a hot sigh. He should've already expected, every time he took a bath Jude would always join him.

With a natural movement as if he has done it hundreds of time, he took a liquefied soap and gave it to Jude.

Jude, with a master-like movements like she practiced this for hudreds of years, poured the soap on her breast and rubbed it on her master's back.

'I...kinda feel like a bastard husband who is having an affair on his wife behind her back.' He gave a wry smile, but he'd be lying if he said he wasn't enjoying this.

"Master...is it good?"

"Very," he sighed in satisfaction, "You're very good, Jude."

Judecca smiled and continue it.

Alex smiled, 'I may feel like a bastard husband....but man, this is the life.'
