We do not own Koihime Musou or Kamen Rider Gaim. They belong to their respective creators. We just thought this idea would be fun and decided to give it a try. If you like it, then that's great. If you don't, then we tried. Anyway, come along and let's see what you think.
A somber occasion had quickly turned into a night of celebration because of an unexpected miracle. It had originally been a funeral held for Armored War God Baron, aka the Crimson Enforcer, aka the Ultimate Spear, and aka Mitsuki Akechi. He had been cremated, his whole body set ablaze as the Gi Faction paid their final respects to their comrade. Then all of a sudden, the flames of the pyre transformed into a blazing firebird. When it vanished, it left behind a crystal egg that was as red as rubies. Then, the egg hatched to reveal a baby.
When Sousou saw the baby, she immediately knew who it was.
"Mitsuki..."
It was Mitsuki Akechi reborn.
Everyone present was just utterly speechless.
Sousou excitedly picked the infant up from the ashes and bundled him up in Marcus' jacket to shield him from the cold. They needed to return to the palace, immediately.
The Gi Faction marched back to the palace where Sousou had the baby cleaned up, put in a diaper and bundled back up in a blanket. Surprisingly, it was Sousou who did all that. She did not allow anyone else to do any of it.
Now, Sousou was sitting on her throne with her entire court present, gently cradling baby Mitsuki in her arms as she soothingly cooed at him. The baby responded positively smiling at Sousou who smiled back at him. As adorable as the sight was, it was still very odd to see Sousou behaving so motherly, but then again the baby was apparently Mitsuki reborn and she did consider him family.
"It's like the legend of the Phoenix. Whenever the bird dies, it emulates itself and is then reborn as a chick," Marcus said in awe. Nobody disagreed with him as it was a very apt description of the phenomenon.
"This must be the power of the Seal of Heaven," Kakuka concluded. "When it blessed Baron-sama with its power, it allowed him to be reborn after his death."
"And we started it up by burning his body in a pyre. I'm so grateful we didn't decide to bury him," said Teiiku, relieved.
"He's so itty bitty and cute," Houkei 'said' as Teiiku moved his arms for him.
"Can't believe he was ever so cute, though," Juniku grumbled. She disliked Mitsuki, tolerated him at best, but she still had some begrudging respect for him due to his strength and loyalty to Sousou. Now he just looked so small, vulnerable, innocent and cute. None of those words had ever been used to describe him according to her experience.
"He must be hungry," Sousou observed as Mitsuki kept sucking on her finger. She found that his gums were smooth and lacked any teeth, so solid food doesn't cut it. He was going to need milk.
"Well, he's just been reborn, Karin-sama," said Juniku. "Perhaps I can send for a wet nurse."
"Do we have any volunteers?" Sousou asked her inner circle. All eyes immediately steered toward Riten. When the busty engineer realized everyone was looking right at her, she immediately got the idea. She put her arms across her large breasts, offended and with her cheeks flushed.
"What are you guys thinking!?" Riten cried, blushing in embarrassment.
"You did say you wanted to bear Baron-sama's children, Mao. So here's your chance to practice motherhood," teased Ukin.
"I know that, but I'm not producing milk right now!"
"That can be fixed," offered Choho. "I can whip up an herbal mixture that will help you produce milk for Baron-sama."
"You can do that?" Chokaku asked, impressed.
"Of course. Besides my magical studies, I've also been studying herbs. Just give me a couple of hours to whip something up and Riten-dono will be producing milk like a cow."
"Don't call me a cow!" Riten exclaimed, offended.
Kakoton leaned toward her sister and whispered, "Is it weird that I think this is not the weirdest thing we've ever seen?"
Kakoen leaned back in and whispered back, "Honestly, I'm still trying to process all this."
She was not the only one. Everyone was trying to wrap their minds around this phenomenon. They had witnessed plenty of strange things since the Armored War Gods made themselves known. Watching them transform and summon their armor was the first, followed by learning of the existence of an otherworldly forest full of lethal fruit. They also witnessed the appearance of monstrous undead martial artists who came to spread fear and chaos to harvest Rinki. They thought they had seen everything, especially after seeing the Armored War Gods becoming gigantic. They believed nothing could top that but they had just witnessed an actual miracle as Mitsuki had been reborn as a baby.
"If you ask me, I'm actually a bit glad," Kakoton confessed as she watched Sousou holding Mitsuki, feeling a tiny bit jealous that their queen got the chance to hold him first. "He's alive, even if it's like this."
"But things won't be the same, though," Kakoen remarked. Mitsuki had been their shared lover, but now he was just a baby. It would take years before he became fully grown. By then, they would be much older and would he even consider them attractive?
"Just be grateful for what you have, sister," Kakoton replied and then she approached Sousou. "Karin-sama, can you let me hold him for a bit?"
As Kakoen watched her sister cradling Mitsuki, she placed a hand on her own stomach.

Chapter 37: Royal Phoenix Baby Shower
Changes were being made as everyone tried to adapt to the new situation. Mitsuki would need a crib to sleep in. He would also need a new set of clothes and diapers. The food issue was quickly rectified as they managed to get a wet nurse on short notice.
And no, it was not Riten if that's what you're thinking. She pretty much drew the line there. She was willing to serve Mitsuki, but not like that. She was not about to let her breasts become swollen with milk for him to suck on. While she had dreamed of him sucking on her breasts, she had hoped it to be during sex and not for feeding.
Not surprisingly, it was Kakoton who volunteered to become Mitsuki's wet nurse. The eyepatch-wearing general wanted her chance to spend more time with her reborn lover. Sousou allowed it. She was not about to let some stranger she did not trust feed Mitsuki. So, Kakoton took Choho's potion and was able to produce breast milk.
Mitsuki's SengokuDriver and Zhuqiao Lockseed were missing. When they checked the ashes of the pyre, they found that Mitsuki's equipment had mysteriously vanished without a trace.
Sousou sat in her room, cradling Mitsuki as she gently rocked the baby back and forth to get him to sleep. The crib was set up in her room as she would not allow it to be placed anywhere else, and nobody could refuse her demand. She smiled lovingly at her baby brother who had come back from the dead for her. It was unbelievable yet not unwelcome.
"I'll make sure you'll grow up big and strong, Mitsuki," Sousou swore. "Hm, should I make you call me 'mother'?"
Sousou was young, but she was not getting any younger and she had a kingdom to rule. Unfortunately, she could not rule it forever. Nobody could rule forever unless they discovered the secret to immortality. Eventually, she would be too old and frail to rule and then the opportunists might try and usurp her and take the throne for themselves. She already had assassins coming after her. All it would take was for one to be lucky enough and then she would be gone without an heir.
It was important for rulers to produce an heir to inherit the throne as there needed to be someone to succeed them in case they were unable to rule due to sickness or death. She never really thought about it until now but she should start thinking about producing an heir, and that meant finding a man to help her with that. She could not get pregnant from sleeping with women. It just wasn't possible unless magic was somehow involved, and she refused to conceive in such an unnatural manner.
She actually considered if Nagata could help her with producing an heir. She would just need him until she got pregnant and Kanu could join in if she wanted to. That would make the process even more enjoyable and Sousou doubted that Nagata would refuse once she convinced Kanu to join.
But then she looked at Mitsuki and began thinking about putting him on the throne. He was strong and charismatic, and she could groom him to become her heir. The more she thought about it, the more appealing the idea sounded.
Crimson Phoenix Emperor Baron did have a nice ring to it.
Juniku went to look for Marcus and found him with Choho in his studio. He was painting another portrait of the blue-haired idol. She appreciated the time she got to spend alone with him, which she rarely got since she had to share him with her sisters.
"Ah, Juniku," Marcus greeted the hooded strategist. "What brings you here?"
"I wanted to speak to you," Juniku said to Marcus. "In private."
"Ah, I see." Marcus put down his paintbrush. "Chiho-chan, you can take a break."
Choho sighed, relieved that she could stop posing. Perhaps letting Marcus paint by memory was much better.
Marcus stepped out of the studio to join Juniku in the hallway.
"I thought you could paint from memory," Juniku remarked.
"Oh, I can, but I like to admire beautiful things and Chiho-chan likes it when I admire her beauty," Marcus confessed. "So, what did you need to talk about?"
"I'm worried about Karin-sama," Juniku confessed her concerns.
"Is something wrong?"
"She's gone...maternal."
Marcus cocked an eyebrow. He expected Juniku to be worried about the state of Sou Gi's security. Baron, their strongest Armored War God had been killed and reborn but was now a baby. If their enemies caught word of this, they might take this as an opportunity to attack the kingdom and then brainwash all the survivors.
"And that's bad?" Marcus inquired.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm happy Mitsuki is back, even if he is a baby right now," Juniku claimed. "But this is going to make Karin-sama think about producing an heir."
"Which would mean she would need to get pregnant," Marcus concluded, causing Juniku to cringe.
"Which means she'll have to sleep with a man, which is the last thing I want," Juniku shuddered. Sousou's bed was for her bedmates, her lovers, which included Juniku, Kakoton and Kakoen. It was a sacred paradise for women only. She did not want Sousou soiling the sheets with a man.
"You shouldn't judge until you try it yourself."
Juniku scoffed in response.
"Like you would know what it's like."
Marcus smiled knowingly. Oh, he knew what it was like.
"I may have experimented once or twice," he admitted.
Juniku's eyes widened in shock as her mouth dropped open.
"Wait...that means you're..."
Marcus nodded, unabashed.
"Yes, yes it does."
Juniku closed her mouth and blinked. Now that he mentioned it, it did explain how affectionate he was toward Mitsuki. Juniku always found it funny whenever Mitsuki recoiled from Marcus' loving attention.
She always assumed Marcus was straight, but it would seem that he was actually bisexual. Then again, it wasn't like she ever took the time to get to know him. He was always busy managing the Chou Sisters and working on his art.
"So, does Sousou-sama have any candidates in mind?" Marcus asked.
Juniku clenched her jaw.
"Yes...Gaim," she gritted out.
"Monsieur Oda? Now that's surprising. I didn't think he was her type."
"Her plan was to get Gaim to serve her so that Kanu would follow out of loyalty. It was just a matter of convenience. Ever since she learned he was a great cook as well as a warrior, she's gotten interested in him in more ways than one."
"You don't approve."
"If there's one thing Mitsuki and I ever agreed upon, it was our dislike for Gaim. If he ever sunk his claws in Karin-sama, he might influence her and then her ambition will go unfulfilled. We're already behind schedule because of the RinJyuKen and now Mitsuki's a baby. Karin-sama does not need any more distractions."
"I don't believe it! You're jealous of a baby!"
"I am not!" Juniku denied. Marcus gave her a skeptical 'I-don't-believe-you' look and she caved in. "...OK, maybe a little. Even when she was busy planning her next campaign, she had time for me. Now that she has to take care of Mitsuki, she won't have time for me anymore. I know I'm being petty but it just doesn't feel fair. She should just leave Mitsuki to servants to raise him."
"Children raised by servants don't bond with their parents so well," Marcus stated.
"I won't argue with that and those servants might just spoil him or manipulate him," Juniku remarked distrustfully. "When he grows up, he's going to become powerful. I just hope that he's still loyal to Karin-sama."
"He will be as long as we care for him and raise him properly. There's an old saying from where I'm from: 'It takes a village'."
Meanwhile, Kakoen poked her sister's breasts.
"Stop that," Kakoton grunted as she smacked Kakoen's hand away.
"Sorry. I'm just impressed by how big they've gotten in such a short time," Kakoen remarked. "They're almost as big as Riten-dono's."
"The potion Choho-dono made was pretty potent," Kakoton confessed. "Its flavor on the other hand..." Kakoton gagged as she remembered how terrible it tasted. The closest equivalent she could make about the potion's horrible flavor was that it tasted like sweat-soaked armpits.
"So, you're seriously going to stick to being Mitsuki's wet nurse until he grows up?" Kakoen asked.
"Well, why not?" Kakoton asked. "Karin-sama needed someone to help so I volunteered."
"You're a general, Shunran. You have responsibilities," Kakoen reminded.
"Yeah, but nobody else was going to do it," Kakoton defended.
"I assume Karin-sama would've done it personally if nobody volunteered. She is very attached to Mitsuki-kun."
"She does seem to have taken the role of a surrogate mother very well."
"Still, I am going to miss the old Mitsuki-kun. If he grows back up, I doubt he'll be the same."
Kakoton let out a sad sigh. As happy she was that Mitsuki was reborn, it just wasn't the same. They would just have to live with the current situation. It was the best they could do with what they got.
"So, what was it like?" Kakoen asked.
"Breastfeeding Mitsuki-kun?" Kakoton responded and Kakoen nodded. "Well, he's a hungry, hungry baby. My nipples are still sore after the first feeding."
"You'll be feeding him a lot from now on. He is a growing boy."
"I know, and I'm prepared for anything. I'll just need to get used to how hard he sucks on my nipples."
"Alright, is this the weirdest thing to happen to us?" Riten asked. Baron's lieutenants were seated around a table with cups of wine in front of them. "Because someone honestly needs to tell me."
Gakushin sipped her wine, contemplating the situation before giving her answer.
"I think our lives stopped being normal ever since we swore our allegiance to Baron-sama," Gakushin replied.
"Yeah," Ukin admitted. "I mean we were serving under an Armored War God as his lieutenants. Something strange was bound to happen."
"I know that. I thought I was ready for anything but now our dead commander has just come back as a baby," said Riten. "So much for my dream."
"I doubt you'd be able to bear his children now," Ukin remarked. "You may need to wait a few years."
"But then these puppies will sag!" Riten complained, cupping her large breasts. "And I'll be too old for him!"
"I doubt age would matter if you stay pretty," Ukin opined. "You just need to take care of yourself until the time is right."
Gakushin cocked an eyebrow as Riten seemed thoughtful.
"You're not seriously waiting until Baron-sama grows up so you can sleep with him, are you?" Gakushin asked.
Riten crossed her arms.
"He is the only man worthy to have me," Riten stated with full confidence. Gakushin rolled her eyes at her friend.
"Then you must have a lot of patience," Gakushin retorted.
"Well, we are going to help raise him. Maybe I can nudge him in the right direction," Riten considered, wiggling her eyebrows suggestively.
"You could start by making him toys," Ukin suggested.
Riten gasped and then clapped her hands together.
"You're right! Kids love toys! If I make him toys then he'll love me too!" Riten grinned as she saw the advantage of her skills.
"Just make sure these toys are age-appropriate," Gakushin advised.
"I know what I'm doing. Trust me."
Gakushin trusted Riten to try and influence the situation in her favor, but there was nothing wrong with trying to get Mitsuki to love them. As manipulative as it may seem, Riten did genuinely love Mitsuki.
"So, have you girls seen Shibai today?" Ukin asked. Their fourth member was strangely absent. "She seems to disappear quite a lot."
"She said she had something to do," Gakushin answered.
"How have you been doing?" Shibai asked. She had gone to visit the orphanage, again. She'd been doing this quite frequently since the end of Mitsuki's last life. It felt like the right thing to do.
"It's not the same without Mei-san," said Shizu. She looked exhausted, but it was understandable. She was the eldest and she needed to take care of the rest of the orphans.
"Still no word of her whereabouts, I see."
"No, and we're very worried! What if she's been kidnapped? What if she's locked up in some creepy dungeon and used as some kind of pleasure slave? What if-?"
"Settle down," Shibai gently cut off Shizu's panicked ranting.
"It's just...Mei-san made it seem so easy. She took care of everything here and now she's gone and now I have to do my best in her place," Shizu confessed.
"If it's too much for you, then allow me to help you," Shibai offered kindly.
"But don't you have work to do for Sousou-sama?" Shizu asked, surprised.
"I serve Baron-sama and since he cares for this place I will care for it as well," Shibai stated. "Where shall we begin?"
"There's a lot of cooking and cleaning to do. Also, Mei-san gave the children lessons."
"I can do that." Shibai could teach the children how to read, write, and do basic arithmetic, all of which were important skills.
"Thank you. This means a lot to me," Shizu said gratefully.
"It's no problem. It's what I owe you."
Shibai returned to the palace after helping Shizu at the orphanage. The strategist had been in awe at what Mei and now Shizu had to deal with. Taking care of so many children was a huge responsibility and there was so much that needed to be done. If this was what Mei had to do every day, then Shizu had a huge pair of shoes to fill in. She was going to need help, which meant Shibai would be visiting the orphanage even more frequently from now on.
Right now, she had some very important news to share. Technically, it was more of a theory, but after connecting all the dots, it all made sense. It would explain the rumors and why Mitsuki would risk his own life to protect an Inves.
"Sousou-sama!" Shibai yelled as she entered Sousou's bedchamber. Sousou quickly shushed the strategist.
"He's sleeping," Sousou chided, cradling Mitsuki who was napping in her arms.
"Ah, my apologies, Sousou-sama and Baron-sama," Shibai apologized. The last thing she wanted to do was to upset Sousou by upsetting baby Mitsuki. Sousou might just have her head for waking Mitsuki from his nap.
"What do you want?" Sousou asked sourly.
"It's about what happened to Baron-sama. Remember how people are saying he protected the monster?"
"Yes, I know the rumors. What of it?" Sousou had been hearing them a lot and was unhappy with what everyone was saying about Mitsuki. They were being ungrateful. If it hadn't been for him, their kingdom would be overrun by monsters by now.
"I think I know why." This caught Sousou's interest and Shibai saw this as a sign to continue. "I believe the monster was actually the caretaker of the orphanage that Baron-sama frequently visits, the woman called Mei."
"What!?" Sousou cried out and Mitsuki was shocked awake by her yell. He began to whimper in her arms and Sousou quickly rocked Mitsuki in her arms to put him back to sleep so he would not cry. "It's alright. It's alright. Calm down now." Mitsuki started to calm down and Sousou let out a sigh of relief. Caring for a baby was not easy. In fact, it was much harder than ruling a kingdom. She was not really prepared for such an occasion, but she believed she had to. She owed Mitsuki for his loyalty. She addressed Shibai with narrowed eyes. "Are you sure?"
"She mysteriously went missing and Baron-sama was very protective of the monster," Shibai answered. "It's the only logical explanation."
"So I was right. It was a setup. One of those fiends must've tricked or forced her into eating the fruit and turned her into a monster," Sousou gritted angrily.
"And then brought her to the kingdom to cause trouble. Baron-sama would be drawn out to handle the situation and then Sigurd would show up. Sigurd would then make himself look like a hero to the people while causing them to renounce Baron-sama," Shibai finished.
Sousou was angry before, but now she was furious. Someone Mitsuki cared for had been used and killed by the enemy to further their own agenda. It was unforgivable and the Armored War Devils would pay for their crimes.
"Shibai, I want you to tell all my guards to increase security throughout the palace," Sousou ordered. "Also, I want you to call everyone for a meeting."
"It will be done, Sousou-sama."
Sousou carried Mitsuki to his crib and laid him down for bed. She was keeping Mitsuki's rebirth a secret, but sooner or later word would somehow get out and the enemy would soon learn that he was alive. They would stop at nothing to finish the job and she would not allow any of them to touch a single hair on his head.
Sousou had summoned Mitsuki's lieutenants, her generals and Juniku for an emergency war council. She also had Marcus summoned along with the Chou Sisters. As part of her inner circle, they were not excluded. Sousou had just finished informing them of what Shibai had told her. She explained how Mei had been used to set Mitsuki up before Sigurd killed him. They were outraged after they heard this. Mei had been innocent. There was just no reason for her to be sacrificed like this. It just didn't seem fair.
However, this was war and the enemy would do despicable things to obtain victory, even using Mitsuki's weaknesses against him. Because that's what Mei had been. She had been a weakness that the enemy had exploited and they had used her to successfully kill Mitsuki.
Baron's death and rebirth were being kept a secret from the public. It was not something they needed right now. If their enemies knew, they would attack without fear. Sousou decided to prepare for an eventual attack. When Sigurd had killed Mitsuki, he pretty much declared war on Sou Gi.
Sousou's kingdom would not fall like Sonken's. She had worked too hard to see it all destroyed.
Sousou was about to dismiss everyone when Marcus raised his hand.
"Excuse me, Sousou-sama," the Passionate Fury spoke up.
"What is it, Bravo?" Sousou asked in a cold tone.
"Well, the Chou Sisters and I have been talking and we think that we should have a party to celebrate Monsieur Mitsuki's rebirth."
Sousou considered Marcus' request as her mind started to go over a plan. Her eyes narrowed as a smile grew on her face. It looked like a pleasant one, but everyone felt a chill when they looked at Sou Gi's ruler. Hidden behind that angelic smile was a calculating mind that would gladly use every tactical opportunity to manipulate any situation for her own benefit.
"A party does sound like a good idea. We all need a bit of a morale boost. Very well, Bravo. You and the Chou Sisters may have your party," Sousou permitted.
"Merci, Sousou-sama," Marcus responded in gratitude.
"Oh, and don't forget to have Choho prepare a special surprise for our guest of honor," Sousou added, her smile widening. Marcus understood what she meant and mentally agreed. There was much work to be done.
After the meeting, Sousou and Juniku returned to the former's bedchamber to find Mitsuki crying in his crib. He had suddenly awoken.
"What's wrong?" Sousou went to check on the baby and then she immediately smelled what was wrong and recoiled in disgust as she pinched her nose. "Ugh, alright. I see. You need a diaper change."
"Allow me, Karin-sama," Juniku offered, wanting to prove herself useful to Sousou. She would show how quickly she was to adapt to the strange new situation. She grabbed a fresh diaper and then picked up Mitsuki. She held her breath and then gently placed the baby on the table.
Juniku looked at Mitsuki who cried as she tried to take the diaper off. This would be her first time seeing him naked, but he was a baby, so it did not count. She removed the pins and then opened up the diaper.
Instantly, she was assaulted by the unfiltered stench of Mitsuki's mess. But she endured as she pinched her nose. She just needed to dispose of the dirty diaper, wipe Mitsuki's butt clean, and then replace the diaper with a fresh one.
Easy peasy.
But as she prepared to take the dirty diaper, Mitsuki decided to give Juniku a golden shower. He sprayed the poor girl with his piss and the girl let out a shriek as the front of her blouse was soaked in urine. She glared at the baby who had stopped crying. Instead, he was giggling.
"Oh, you are so going to pay for this," Juniku threatened, but really what could she do to a baby and not look like a monster?
"I could take over," said Sousou. She had a cloth mask covering her nose and mouth. Juniku scowled. Why didn't she think of that?
"It's OK, Karin-sama. I can handle it-GAH!" Mitsuki pissed in Juniku's face again.
Juniku stormed out of Sousou's room. While she was successful in changing Mitsuki's diaper, she now smelled of baby urine and was carrying a dirty diaper to be disposed of. She wrinkled her nose in disgust, but she willed herself to endure. She swore to aid Sousou, and that included helping her care for the reborn Ultimate Spear.
She could not wait for him to grow up. Perhaps, next time, she could offer to give him a bath. She could leave the really dirty job to some other peon.
"What happened to you?" Kyocho asked as she ran into Juniku in the hallway. Sousou had ordered for increased security and patrols throughout the palace, which meant Kyocho had to do extra rounds.
Juniku scowled. She really did not want to be seen with urine all over her.
"I was changing Mitsuki's diaper for Karin-sama and he peed on me!" Juniku yelled.
Kyocho blinked then broke out laughing.
"Hehehehehehe!"
"Stop laughing! It's not funny! Ugh, I need a bath and I'll have to burn these clothes!"
Kyocho stifled her laughter then gradually stopped.
"Was it really that bad?"
"It was terrible! To think this happened to me for being nice! I wish this could be over soon!"
"I dunno. Babies don't normally grow up fast."
"This is no normal baby. Remember, it's Baron. I just wish he could magically grow up so things can go back to normal."
"But he's so small and cute!"
"He peed on me! I bet it was on purpose!"
"He's just a baby!"
"Not a normal baby! Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to throw this filth away!"
Juniku stomped away from Kyocho.
Sousou put Mitsuki down for bed in his crib. Watching him tenderly, she gently stroked his hair. This was going to take some getting used to, but at least it was a welcome change. Hard to imagine Mitsuki ever being cute, but everyone was a baby once in their life. For Mitsuki, he was experiencing life as a baby all over again.
Her bliss soon turned to worry as she watched him sleep. As a baby, he was completely vulnerable. He could not defend himself so it was up to them to protect Mitsuki. It would be years before he could return to being an Armored War God, but the enemy would not allow that to happen. If given the chance, they would kill the baby so they could eliminate a possible threat.
She turned away from the crib and looked at Mitsuki's GenesisDriver and Lemon Energy Lockseed which were on her table.
She would not allow anyone or anything to threaten her brother.
KRC: OK, this chapter takes place right after Mitsuki's rebirth and covers the first few days as everyone tries to look after him. It seems Sousou is having quite a maternal phase and everyone else is also trying to adapt, especially with a threat looming over them. Well, at least the group is going to have a party to boost their morale, but I have a feeling it won't run very smoothly on account of some uninvited guests.
A party was being held in Sousou's palace in honor of Mitsuki's rebirth. Sousou was seated at a table, watching everything with a smile. Security had been beefed up and there were guards posted in the banquet hall and by the entrance, armed and ready for just about anything.
All of a sudden, the doors burst open as a silver blur blasted its way through. The thunder-like noise startled everyone. Instantly, the guards fell, their necks twisted. Sousou's eyes narrowed as she saw the cause of the commotion that ruined their party.
"Sorry for crashing the party."
It was Armored War Devil Sigurd.
