Chapter 138: Takemikazuchi Familia

(3rd Person: POV)

Sitting on Rose personal office at the Guild Haruhime, Sasaki, and Leonmitchelli waited patiently as the person in question finished filling out a number of forms while seated at her desk.

The forms in question pertained directly to Sasaki and Haruhime.

Both of them had come to the guild today to report that they leveled up.

Haruhime had reached level 2, while Sasaki had reached level 4.

The reason Leonmitchelli was accompanying the two of them is because this is the first time either of them had reported a level up to the guild, and Athena wanted someone with prior experience to accompany them and help them through the procedure.

Which leads to right now.

Another few minutes passed before Rose finished filing all the form and then double-checked them to make sure everything was in order.

Once she finished she placed them neatly in a pile atop her desk and looked at the three members of the Athena familia.

"Alright I'm done." Rose said. "You can go now." She spoke in her usual blunt manner.

But Leonmitchelli, Sasaki, and Haruhime didn't take any offense to it.

They knew that after having Rose as their familia advisor for years, and with the fact she is one of Morax lovers was just her personality.

"Thank you miss Rose for all your help." Haruhime spoke.

"Well then we will take our leave." Sasaki said.

"Yep, see you later Rose." Leonmitchelli said.

The three of them then left her office and headed towards the common area of the guild.

Reaching it they prepared to head home.

Only for someone to call out in their direction.

"Eh, lady Haruhime!" A female voice shouted.

This stopped the three of them in their tracks.

Turning their head in the direction the voice Leonmitchelli, Sasaki, and Haruhime saw six people dressed in Far Eastern clothing looking in their direction.

Actually the girl at the front of their group had her gaze solely focused on Haruhime.

"It really is you!" The girl happily exclaimed.

"Mikoto." Haruhime said. "Ah, Mikoto!" Haruhime suddenly exclaimed.

As tears began streaming down her face she ran over to the girl Mikoto and wrapped her in a hug.

Ignoring all the stares she was getting from the people inside of the guild.

A good thing too.

Since if Haruhime noticed all those eyes on her, should would probably pass out.

As Leonmitchelli and Sasaki looked at Haruhime's action with the group that was obviously from the Far East, they simply let them have their moment.

Questions about their relationship could come later.

Eventually Haruhime stopped hugging Mikoto and put her down.

Wiping any remaining tears from her eyes as she did so.

"I'm so happy to see you again." Haruhime told Mikoto.

"And I you lady Haruhime." Mikoto happily said.

She then peaked past her and looked at Leonmtichelli and Sasaki.

But this only lasted briefly before Mikoto returned her gaze to Haruhime. Deciding to ask a question that just formed in her head.

"Lady Haruhime, who are those two you are with?" Mikoto asked.

'Oh, they are members of my familia." Haruhime said.

"Eh?!!" Mikoto and her companions exclaimed in utter shock.

"It's a long story." Haruhime sheepishly said.

(Morax: POV)

Sitting on one of the couches in the living room of the Owl House I couldn't believe what I was seeing.

Takemikazuchi and his entire familia performing dogeza perfectly.

It truly is a sight.

"Once again I cannot thank you all enough for what you've done for Haruhime." Takemikazuchi spoke.

"Yes, thank you very much." Ouka said.

"A thousand thanks." Mikoto added.

The others spoke up and expressed their thanks and gratitude as well.

For like the hundredth time.

They've been doing so ever since my group returned from our daily dive into the dungeon.

It seems while we were there Haruhime encountered her old childhood friends at the guild with Sasaki and Leonmitchelli. Who then went to collect Takemikazuchi and all of them came to the Owl House. Where our resident little fox told them the story of how she met us and joined our familia.

Well if I was in their position I would likely do the same thing.

"Once again you are welcome." I said.

"Yes. But please, raise your heads." Athena said. "We understand the depths of your gratitude."

At her words they all raised their heads.

Once they did so our two familia chatted for a while.

Until eventually the Takemikazuchi familia decided to return home.

Except for Mikoto and Chigusa. Apparently they are going to spend the night and have a sleepover with Haruhime.

Good for her.

"Oh Mikoto I see you are staying the night. Good. We can get to know each other a bit better." Echidna said. Getting closer to Mikoto as she licked her lips, making weird gestures with her fingers.

Seeing this I gave a nod to Ryuu and Ariane.

Who nodded back immediately.

After they did so Ryuu got behind Echidna and slammed Alf Lumina right on top of her head. Then before she could react Ariane came from the front and closed lined her into the ground.

The two elves sharing a high-five after they finished.

They then grabbed Echidna and started dragging carrying her unconscious body to her room. Where they would watch her for the rest of the night.

Since if they didn't she might really assault Mikoto.

Which we can't have.

Subjecting such an innocent girl to that perverted monster who devours anything within her strike zone.

We're not insane.

Though I might sick Echidna on Bell when he arrives here in Orario.

Now that would definitely generate some good laughs.

Just thinking about it brings a smile to my face.

"Am, what was that?" Chigusa asked.

"It's nothing." Gaul said.

"Yes, put it out of your mind." Rogue spoke.

"And if that sorry excuse for a witch tries anything you have our permission to beat her senseless. Though don't do it too hard since that is also something she enjoys." Leonmichtelli calmly explained.

Chigusa and Mikoto simply nodded.

Looking completely lost.

But if they spend enough time around us they will understand the others words.

Which is going to be the case since they are Haruhime precious friends.

The meeting concluded we all went our separate ways.

Including me.

I got ready to head to Rose house, since its her night with me.

Where she hinted the other day that she might play the role of a teacher.

Mhm just thinking of Rose in a pencil thin skirt with a ruler in her hands gets me going.

I can't wait to get some private tutoring from her.

Tonight is definitely going to be a good night indeed.

Time remaining until Bell arrives in Orario: 2 years
