Author's Note: Sup, bitches? And welcome to Volume 2 of Vulpine Overlord! Terribly sorry for the delay, I got a new job in… I think it was April or May… and it ate up my freetime way more than I had anticipated.
AdV: Oh, and I keep delaying him because dammit Uni's a mess. I should be writing essays but here I am, writing low-grade smut. At least this Volume's been written like a year ago… just needs some pruning now.
DMS: Such is the Achilles' heel of collaboration. The chapter certainly was written around that time, though. We can crank out some work when we write together, but our schedules didn't line up for the editing.
That said, in case you're wondering why this fanfic is being released in volumes, it's because Overlord is still an ongoing series. That said, this story from here on out has been written in proper collaboration with AdVictoriamCustodes in particular.
AdV: Oi! You forgetting how much I did write in V1 aren't you? **smh**
DMS: Not at all; just wanted to make it clear that this story is a "proper" collab now, since it didn't quite start off as one, lol.
I'll be updating the Author's Notes of Volume 1, Chapter 1 accordingly.
Of course, Spyash2 has still chimed in on occasion as an advisor and editor, but he's more interested in other projects, most notably The Mirran. In any case, check him and AdV out if you still haven't.
AdV: Not that there's much to see lol… I've got so much smut written with Spy but none of it that has seen the 'light' yet xD
DMS: Hope y'all enjoy! :)
Summary Reminder: What if Naruto lived in 22nd Century Japan? What if he was the guildmaster of Ainz Ooal Gown instead of Momonga? What if a second guild with an axe to grind popped up just off the Baharuth Empire's northern shore around the same time Nazarick was plopped down within the Re-Estize Kingdom? What if, instead of emotional suppression, Naruto ended up struggling with his character and newfound situation in a... different way? What would happen as a result?

Volume Two: Walls of Meat
Chapter One: a Big Day in Nazarick
Naruto popped a squat next to Zaryusu's fish farm, his tails swaying idly, taking an idle moment to investigate the curiosity… one which could move the lizardmen away from being hunter-gatherers and make their society more self-sufficient, now that the villages had been rebuilt and everything was running pretty smoothly.
The… still-somewhat-freshly revived lizardman in question leaned against his brother for support. Since he was dead for longer, he'd take more time to fully recover. It was simply how the spell worked, apparently.
Naruto chalked it up to decomposition.
Fumiko hadn't suffered any side-effects because he had used a different system, namely the guild one―which humorously amounted to throwing money at a problem―to revive her without any loss of stats or any real penalties beyond the ones that affected its price tag.
The other former tribe leaders were there as well, eyeballing his handiwork with interest; Aura, Mare, Cocytus, and aforementioned Fumiko were also present, but seemed more interested in what "Lord Kurama" was thinking… which he should've expected by this point.
His tails continued to sway lazily as he inspected the lizardman's fish farm as best he could. Much to his dismay, though, Aura and Fumiko proved rather… distracting, thus his thoughts ventured towards them more than they should've, imagining them in various compromising positions as they serviced him...
He'd have to pay his wife two lovers a visit later...
It also didn't help that fish farming―or just about anything to do with agriculture or livestock―was far from his area of expertise, beyond the basics everyone learned in school, but the youko could still tell that Zaryusu had done a respectable job, given the tools he had available.
It wouldn't feed everyone, but it was a good start.
"Aura, Mare," he finally called out, once he thought of what to say to not appear like a complete and total dumbass, "Check this farm out in more detail, see if you can think of anything that can be improved." He paused, tilting his head in thought, "Also… have one of these plopped down in each of the villages. No reason not to."
The former squirmed uncomfortably, still hot and bothered from a few days ago… and equally flustered from the looks he started giving her soon after, but she responded promptly nonetheless. "Y-yes, milord," she replied.
Mare nodded timidly, a spark of determination in his eyes despite his shyness―which came as no surprise. He was just as eager as the other denizens of Nazarick to please the "last Supreme One", after all… much to said youko's embarrassment.
Being treated like a god was still going to take some getting used to…
"I could definitely see how something like this would be beneficial," Kyuku Zuzu commented, showing much interest in the farm as he leaned over the shoreline and inspected the fishies. His voice sounded wry… as far as Naruto could tell, "Most of our conflicts in the past tended to be caused by food shortages."
"Makes sense," Naruto commented with a sagely nod. Though relatively primitive, the lizardmen tended to act a lot like humans… with a few exceptions here and there, of course. "People don't tend to like fighting if they don't have to. That… seems to apply to lizardmen too, at least to some extent."
"Sounds about right." Zanberu shrugged.
While the lizardman in question absolutely loved the thrill of battle, even he preferred friendly spars by a long shot.
That line of thinking worked, of course, as long as one ignored how humans―and probably all the natives―rarely ever lacked a reason to fight...
Meanwhile, in the library of Godhaven, Morrigan hummed a merry little tune as she dusted one of the countless bookshelves in her little station… not that any outsiders would call it little, but hers was the smallest one among her peers.
Not far away, their guest, the old wizard from Baharuth, poured over a large collection of massive, ancient tomes.
Andraste was of course watching over him to make sure he didn't cause any trouble, though her presence was turning out to be more of a formality than a necessity.
Morrigan paid them little mind. Despite their presence, her day was just business as usual; she merrily skipped along, making sure everything was in order, while letting the others do their own thing. It had been like this for as long as she remembered, and it was a routine she stood by.
Fluder couldn't help but stare on occasion, still finding it hard to believe that she was a fae-touched of all things. To his knowledge, they didn't actually exist… not anymore, if at all as the fae themselves had largely gone extinct after the Evil Deities emerged.
Truly she and Boudicca were from another world…
He pulled his eyes away when the short skirt of Morrigan's uniform slipped upwards as she bent over, a lack of undergarments being… implied. It was strange to see someone who looked so young dressed in such a way that it reminded the old wizard that he was, in fact, a functioning male, but even if she truly wore nothing underneath, it was still quite tame in comparison to the queen's attire.
Something he found himself needing to get used to after recovering from the initial shock. While the sight was doubtlessly appealing, his old heart couldn't take much more...
Returning to the strange picture book he was… trying to read, Fluder did his best to decipher the little runes and such in a particularly beautiful set of images, not knowing that he was gazing upon one of the many source materials Morrigan's creator used as inspiration.
The pages were split into an uneven smattering of pictures, apparently depicting the exploits of a young, female mage, one who was clearly a divine caster, though he couldn't tell what kind. The magical staff she wielded like a crossbow previously now slung across her back in a battle apparently spectated by several men with black pits for eyes. He absently noted that they appeared to be nobles, but paid them little mind, as he focused on a magical symbol he'd never seen before, vaguely resembling a sword without a hilt. The image was split in two for some reason, with some sections that Fluder had discerned were inserts for the author to explain what he was seeing.
Too bad he couldn't read the language…
In any case, he burned the magical rune into his mind. As luck would have it, following a depiction of the eyeless men reacting to it, there was a closer image of the center, showing the female mage floated in a circle within the symbol, the circle itself being in the center of four others. This image showed several runes within the giant rune, showing that bit to be massive in scale and that every border, every line of that massive sword-shaped symbol was filled with incantations he'd never seen before, in an arcane tongue he could not recognize.
It was truly fascinating…
On the next page, the eyeless men's reaction, reaching out as if to try and stop her enemies from attacking, only for another rune to appear and function as a shield and deflect their attacks as she prayed to her patron deity. Two pages later, the function of this spell was then shown, leaving behind a massive mushroom cloud. That spell depicted had to be of the 11th Tier! It simply couldn't be anything else…
Completely oblivious or simply not caring, neither the old man nor her superior were quite sure, Morrigan continued tending to the stack of books she was putting away. Her glowing, crimson eyes sported a content look soon after as the last one was returned to its proper place. Then, she skipped along, turning her attention to the old man as he frantically flipped back and forth between the pages of that same battle.
Looking over his shoulder, she cooed in interest.
"Studying the history of Tanya von Degurechaff?" Morrigan questioned.
Fluder perked up at that. "So you know this girl?"
"Not personally," the half-faerie replied with a shrug. "Never met her, but I know a lot about her. She was a historical figure from another world who fascinated Lord Sonuvalich."
"I take it your creator used her as inspiration?" Andraste asked, looking curious.
"Among others," Morrigan told her, a nostalgic grin. "Megumin of the Crimson Demons, Akatsuki of the Log Horizon, Senko the Helpful…" That smile faded in favor of a childlike pout. "Mostly little girls and small women for some reason."
"At least yours wasn't as lewd as mine," Andraste chuckled. "I'm frankly shocked that Lord Adeptus didn't make me into a second Hidone… I love him to this day, but some of the conversations he had with Lady Mebuki and especially Lady Alicia were just… so embarrassing."
Fluder simply couldn't contain his shock. The notion of such a feat… to actually create life… to make a living being who was indistinguishable from any other… truly these women came from a realm of gods!
"I found them rather fascinating in all honesty…" Morrigan muttered thoughtfully.
Lord Adeptus Custodeus and Lady Alicia Dominika Lolikonis were quite vocal about their fascination in Ana May and various "waifus", among other things. They were also of great assistance to Lord Sonuvalich in finding source material in her creation if memory served. (1)
They were, without doubt, unrepentant perverts… but was that really such a bad thing? They certainly didn't think so…
Morrigan pouted. "I miss them…"
"We all do," Andraste replied with a sad smile.
Truth be told, they were both incredibly jealous of Hidone and Princess Mito… Happy for them, of course, but immeasurably envious.
''...would be all." Naruto finished with a grin, clapping his hands together, addressing the former chieftains still gathered before him an hour later. The youko and said lizardmen now sat in a circle within a large hut that served as the village's equivalent of an administrative building. Naruto himself was flanked by Cocytus and Fumiko, Aura and Mare sitting off to the side. "Any questions?"
"If I may," the sole female spoke up. "It's off topic, but my curiosity has been bothering me for some time, now."
"Whether or not I'll answer depends on the question," Naruto said, "but ask away."
"Why did you have that… thing introduce you as Ainz Ooal Gown?"
"Not gonna lie, I was beginning to wonder if anyone would ever ask." Naruto let out a chuckle. "It's the name of a group I was part of, but I'm the only member left."
The lizardmen present were quick to notice how sad Aura and Mare looked upon hearing that, save for Zaryusu. He was still a bit loopy from the resurrection. Fumiko, meanwhile, only seemed to be concerned for her father and Cocytus was… unreadable.
"I guess you could say that I am Ainz Ooal Gown because of that, though," the youko continued. "That it's basically a title now. As for why I had the Harbinger introduce me by that title… Well, we made a lotta enemies before I ended up in this world. So, I wanted to see if there were any in your ranks… and possibly locate some of my old friends, in case they were in the area." (2)
"A wise move," Kyuku commented.
Naruto smiled at that before addressing the lizardmen as a whole once again. "Anything else?"
This time around, it took a while for anyone to speak up.
Clearing his throat, Zanberu took it upon himself to do just that. "Right, then," he said, "I guess the only one we have is… what do you plan to do when those fish farms are done?"
"I'm still working on the details," Naruto admitted with a shrug. "But my long term goal is to secure my territory's northern border by seizing control of the Great Forest of Tob as a whole."
The lizardmen were visibly surprised to hear that. The forest was the known world to most lizardmen, so conquering it was simply beyond their wildest dreams.
"Once that is done," he continued, "I'll focus on my eastern and western borders to make sure no one tries anything while we head south and… pay someone a little visit." His tone grew incredibly dark at that last part, making it abundantly clear that someone to the south had royally pissed him off.
The sheer malice he felt coming off of the youko in waves sent shivers up the lizardmen's spines.
'So this is what the wrath of a god feels like,' Zanberu thought to himself. 'It's every bit as terrifying as I'd imagined.' Clearing his throat and composing himself, the lizardman nodded. "The Five Fang Tribe is yours to command," he assured. "I'll do everything in my power to make sure we're prepared for when that time comes."
The others quickly echoed his sentiment.
"I know," Naruto chirped, the shift in his tone giving them a severe case of whiplash. "But, for now, we'll focus on rebuilding. I'd also like to establish a trade relationship with a human village just outside the forest. I'm sure they could use the extra fish when you start producing enough."
"Allies of yours, I take it?" Kyuku asked, looking intrigued.
"Home to a potential mate, too," Fumiko chimed in teasingly.
'Work in progress," Naruto muttered evasively. The burning cheeks and drooping ears telling the lizardmen all they needed to know.
Crusch could contain her giggle, finding his reaction rather cute. Though her own inability to find one of her own left the lizardman female feeling rather jealous of him, it was quite the breath of fresh air to see that even gods had their soft sides.
As for the "god" in question, Naruto wasn't sure they'd ever get that far in all honesty, given that the woman in question was a human… but he certainly wouldn't mind if it did. She was kinda cute.
Though there was no way in hell she'd be keeping that hairstyle if they did become a thing… Ahem. (3)
"That aside," Naruto said, rubbing the back of his neck as he addressed the larger lizardman, "I'd like you to help Cocytus in keeping my daughter out of trouble for a while, Zanberu."
"Papaaa…"
The youko couldn't help but chuckle when his daughter whined at him.
Zanberu let loose an amused chortle of his own. "I have several daughters, myself, so I know how they can be," he assured. "I can only promise to do my best, though."
"That's all I can ask," Naruto replied with an understanding nod. Then, his smile faded as he gave the lizardman a serious look. "That being said," he added, "you are hereby ordered to keep that wine pot I've heard so much about the hell away from her."
"But whyyy~?" Fumiko whimpered.
"Because you can't hold your liquor for shit," the youko deadpanned. "After the Chandelier Incident, I don't fucking want to know what would happen if they didn't!"
Granted, that was entirely his own fault for putting such traits into her profile, and the incident in question caused by some particularly hard liquor, but still! The thought of his baby girl getting her hands on a pot of infinite wine utterly terrified him!
And the occasional mental images of said pinkette sporting a baby bump while doing so did not help in the fucking slightest!
"And with that, my curiosity is bothering me again," Crusch commented.
"...Not telling," Fumiko grumbled, her cheeks ablaze.
Unfortunately, her grumpy pout was far more adorable than intimidating. It was nigh moe in fact.
"Again, I can only promise to do my best," Zanberu told the youko, his respectful bow accompanied by another amused grin. "Especially if she's anywhere near your level…"
Naruto couldn't help but chuckle again at that. "Of course," he replied with a satisfied nod.
"...Returning to the subject of seizing control of the Great Forest," Kyuku began after a moment of thought, "I assume you will be using your undead for this campaign?"
The lizardmen alone wouldn't have enough manpower for such a campaign, so that made the most sense to him.
"Mostly, yeah," Naruto replied with a nod. " The ones I had you all fight were just a small portion of my forces."
Or rather, it was the most expendable, since they literally respawned the next day.
"To be more specific," he added, "I'd have a bunch of skeletons bolster your forces, since they had far less issues moving around in the swamplands."
"Yeah, I noticed how sluggish those zombies were," Zanberu commented, crossing his arms with a nod. "Good call."
"We should also fortify the villages," Fumiko commented. The pinkette was no tactician by any stretch, but at the same time, even she saw the value in protecting their assets.
"Agreed." Naruto replied, ruffling the pinkette's hair. His poor baby girl blushed heavily at the attention, her arousal leaving Fumiko hard pressed to keep herself at bay; she just wanted to jump his bones and ride him for all to see… which was a no-no.
Then, the youko redirected his attention back to Zanberu. "This village and Dragon Tusk will be the ones I focus on first. After that, I'll have Aura and Mare move on to the next ones based on how close they are… and pave some roads between them, now that I think about it. That'll make transporting goods between them easier."
His attention shifted to Aura in particular. She shifted uncomfortably at his gaze.
"Aura was in charge of building that castle of mine, so she should be very helpful in expanding and fortifying your villages." Naruto assured, leering at the elf. "You'll be in good hands."
Hopefully, interacting with her in the meantime wouldn't be more awkward than needed… As it turned out, fucking Shalltear and Albedo only helped so much… and Aura was far more enticing than he was willing to say aloud at the moment.
The elf in question blushed and shifted some more at the leer he gave her. Mare looked like he approved while Fumiko visibly tried her best to ignore it. Truth be told, she also approved of his attraction to the elven loli… but, at the some time, being so close and smelling Papa's pheromones proved to be… challenging.
Zanberu roared with laughter at the sight, literally smelling a bit of sexual tension between the man who'd beaten them soundly and his gathered female underlings. Though he found it to be a strange custom to mate with a child, the lizardman was not dumb enough to take issue with the interests of a god.
The others sensed it too, and their reactions were a bit… mixed.
Crusch shifted uncomfortably. She chalked it up to her maternal instinct kicking in, but the thought of such a… small and immature female mating with Lord Kurama made her feel no shortage of concern for the poor thing. At the same time, though, she too knew better than to speak up about it, her gaze falling upon the pinkette who subjugated the Red-Eye.
Sukyu was indifferent on the matter, not even seeming to notice, though he could smell the pheromones like a thick miasma as they filled the room.
Shasuryu was similarly unbothered, chalking it up to elven culture.
Kyuku, meanwhile, saw this coming from a mile away. If anything, he seemed amused.
"Makes sense," Zanberu mused. Being a wanderer, he knew full well how paved roads would come in handy… especially here in the wetlands. There was a reason his people had yet to make use of such a simple thing as the wheel, after all. (4)
"Maybe you should start with this village?" Fumiko suggested, somewhat flippantly but not uncaringly. Nobody deserved to starve. "Food is important, after all."
"It is," Naruto replied, before letting his eyes wander to Zanberu. "But it's also easier to replace than people." Nodding to himself, he continued. "I'll likely have them start with building a second fish farm in the Dragon Tusk village before fortifying it and moving on to the others, starting with this one."
"That makes sense," the kijo replied with a thoughtful hum. "We'll be making enemies pretty quickly, after all, so the bigger village should also be protected…"
"You're learning," her father praised, ruffling her hair, making her smile and pout at the same time. Then, he turned his attention to Zanberu. "You're being oddly silent, there, big guy."
"Well, nothing you said goes against the wellbeing of my village," the lizardman monk replied cooly. "I have no objections, so I'll just stand here and look pretty for you, my Lord."
Naruto chuckled while Fumiko gawked at his flippant tone with her papa. Aura, Mare, and Cocytus shared a similar sentiment, but their lord spoke again before any of them could protest.
"It's such a breath of fresh air to hear someone be more relaxed around me," he commented, glancing off into the distance as he shook his head, turning his attention to the young kijo beside him. "Fumiko and Tayuya are the only ones, despite my relationships with Albedo and Shalltear."
Lupusregina was another exception, of course, but it was only sincere when no one else from the tomb was around… and even that took a while to bring about.
"If I recall," Kyuku interjected, "the latter is your subordinate?"
"...Officially, for now," Naruto clarified. "She recently became my… second mate, I guess."
"They're probably just getting used to their new station," Zanberu assured with a grin, clapping the smaller man on the shoulder, getting several vicious glares thrown his way, "Give 'em time, eh? The ladies usually take longer to adapt."
"...I hate how true that is," Fumiko grumbled, twitching violently.
The other lizardmen present, meanwhile, couldn't help but envy Zanberu's bravery… or simple, brass foolishness.
The sheer killing intent they felt was suffocating from here!
Naruto, meanwhile, offered a friendly laugh. He and this guy were bound to be the best of friends; he just knew it! "Yeah, that sounds about right," he admitted. "Still, it feels weird having everyone around me act so formally when my guildmates were way more casual. Guess I still have some adapting of my own to do."
Aura, Mare, and Cocytus gave him odd looks at that, visibly not sure how to react.
"Still wish I got to meet them," Fumiko commented with a childish pout. "You're the only one who visited, save for Lord Momonga."
"Maybe you will," Naruto replied. "Some day…" He wasn't confident that it would happen, but anything was possible at this point.
The elven twins couldn't help but hope they did return. They wanted so badly to see Lady Bukubukuchagama again.
Cocytus of course felt the same about Warrior Takemikazuchi, though he didn't show it.
"That aside, though," the youko said, looking a little sheepish. "I think we've veered off topic there. We should call it a day. We can hold another meeting at some later point."
They'd been here long enough in all honesty. He needed a break.
He tapped his chin in thought, tilting his face as he did so. "In fact… we can host the next one at Auraguard. Make it an administrative hub between the villages… though I'm not sure when yet. I'll send a Message to let you know in advance." He stood up with a grunt and stretched his legs and tails… while hoping Fumiko didn't notice the boner.
She did… and so did Aura. Both girls felt a hot coil inside them tighten.
"Until then," he finished, "you're all dismissed."
Later that day, Naruto let loose a satisfied sigh of relief as he took a seat in the Throne of Kings for the first time in what felt like an eternity.
It felt good to be back in Nazarick after so long…
Of course, a very pleased-looking Albedo was by his side with Sebas and the Pleiades at the ready if he needed anything. And considering all of them―besides Sebas for obvious reasons―were pretty girls… well, their lord's good mood was easy to understand.
Needless to say, when the presence of World Items was made abundantly clear by the incident with Fumiko, Naruto canceled the head butler's mission to E-Rantel. Very quickly at that. While information was important, nothing he and his team could reasonably be expected to learn while staying there was worth putting them at risk. Sure, he had more than enough gold in the treasury to resurrect every NPC in Nazarick ten times over thanks to the pre-shutdown farming he and Momonga had done, but still… It felt wrong to endanger them like that.
They were family, after all… in a weird way, but family nonethelsess! (5)
As for the youko himself, he was feeling rather pleased with his accomplishments. A small part of him was mildly annoyed that there weren't any sexy ladies to claim as trophies, as he didn't have a thing for lizards, but he pushed those thoughts aside for now. Hopefully, Shalltear would help him with those urges of his so they didn't become an issue like when he was traveling with the Swords of Darkness.
He both dreaded and looked forward to testing that, later today…
Banishing those thoughts as well, lest he pop another massive stiffy, he turned his attention to Albedo. "So…" he began, suddenly looking a bit nervous. "Um… about the wedding…"
Albedo perked up at that. The look she gave him was somewhere between bedroom seduction and adorable innocence. "Yes, my love?"
"We should… probably do that next, I think?"
The succubus preened, fluttering her eyebrows and giving Naruto a charming smile.
The youko, meanwhile, felt just a little… less safe at the moment, though he knew not why.
"I will gladly make it so, my love~!"
Oh who was he kidding, he knew exactly why…
The maids all shifted uncomfortably upon seeing him pitch a tent at that, despite his earlier efforts not to do exactly that. Even the literal robot among them couldn't help but stare at it…
"R-right, then," Naruto squeaked, plastering on an awkward smile. "Y-Yuri Alpha!"
The dark-haired, pale-skinned maid stood at attention upon being called. She sported large bangles and a pair of minimalistic, oval-rimmed glasses; she was the tallest among the maids and her hair was done up into a neat little bun. She also sported an enchanted choker, due to a… unique requirement of hers.
"You have need of me, Lord Kurama?"
"I'd like you to help us out in arranging that," Naruto told her. "Let Pestonya know as well, when you get the chance, and feel free to borrow as many of the homunculus maids as you need for the job."
Yuri bowed. "Consider it done, milord."
"What of Shalltear?" Albedo asked in honest curiosity. She knew full well of the vampire's newfound relationship with the Supreme One, but didn't quite know what kind of relationship it was. "Is she to be a second wife? A concubine? A sex slave, perhaps?" Her face broke out into a thoughtful and impish leer. "I daresay she'd enjoy any such arrangement."
"C-concubine raises less questions," Naruto muttered, his cheeks burning as her words sent his mind into a deep, dark gutter. "But, I'd like to make it clear that I love and will care for both of you equally."
He dug his grave, might as well lie in it… not that he had any complaints about it in all honesty. Hell, if anything, this was like a wet dream come true! He just… didn't like how it happened is all.
Albedo cooed lovingly at that. "What ever did we do to deserve such a man~?"
Naruto visibly struggled to answer, looking significantly more flustered now. This was knocking on the door of one fantasy too many for him to remain composed.
"Shall we assume that you two are in need of some privacy?" Sebas asked, quickly seeing where this was heading.
Before the red-haired demon could reply, his fiancee beat him to the punch.
"Indeed, you are~!"
"Very well, then. By your leave." The butler nodded and bowed primly, taking his leave with the maids in tow.
Yuri Alpha, meanwhile, offered some parting words before leaving. "I shall take this opportunity to inform Head Maid Pestonya of your plans, then."
Naruto simply couldn't bring himself to protest as the butler and his entourage left the room. And the instant those doors closed behind them, Albedo was already upon him… and stark naked, climbing on top of the throne and atop of him in a rather sexy display of flesh.
"Albed-mmmf―!"
Whatever he had to say was then swallowed by a ravenous kiss and the next thing Naruto knew, the both of them were utterly nude, on the floor going at it like wild beasts, the loud, meaty claps of their groins coming together echoing through the floor.
The next day…
"You… wanted to talk?" Enri asked, fidgeting nervously in the face of her… crush.
She didn't know why, but for some reason, the blonde felt… delightfully unsafe, for lack of a better way to put it, standing there within arms' reach of the powerful man.
"Just wanted to let you know of something I have planned in two weeks," Naruto told her, giving the blonde a wide, charming grin that caused butterflies to start making flips in her tummy. "I wanted to invite you and… well, let you in on a little secret."
Of course, Tayuya and Albedo were also present, the former leaning against the wall of Enri's house, while the latter was by her fiance's side. Nemu was there as well, looking up at Naruto with curiosity in her big, brown eyes as she leaned against her sister's leg.
Naruto tried to avoid looking at her… he failed, but hid it well. Only Tayuya noticed as one would expect, being that she seemed rather in tune with her creator. She scrunched her brows, before glancing at the little girl… and held back a snort.
As it turned out, his romps with Shalltear were only marginally helpful in preventing him from wanting to have his way with both of these fetching, young females. But, while he wanted so badly to see those big, brown eyes meeting his gaze with those kissable lips struggling to accommodate his bulbous head, a stream of white trickling down her thighs from the other pair as it were, it was at least not nearly as bad as when he started having literal hallucinations a while back.
So, he managed… at least for now.
…he'd be making good use of Shalltear when he came back, though.
"A-and what would that be?" Enri asked, thankfully distracting him.
"Well, first, I need to let you know that Albedo isn't my wife… yet," he admitted, giving the blonde a sheepish look as he nudged his head down in apology. "I said she was at the time because if word got out that we weren't married, it would have raised some awkward questions, because… well…"
"You were fucking?" Nemu offered, the words that left her mouth not at all matching the innocence of her tone and expression. She then pouted cutely. "Very loudly, too..."
Naruto just stared at the brunette for a moment, before turning to give Tayuya a flat look.
The redhead in question just raised an eyebrow at that. "...What?"
It went without saying that his dark side was far more amused...
Pushing the sudden urge to spank someone aside, as well as the single eye twitch that accompanied it, Naruto turned his attention to a suddenly-horrified blonde and gave her an apologetic, sheepish grin. "I am so sorry," he said. "My daughter's not very… child-friendly."
And he knew damn well that she was to blame for that one!
"I… uh… it's f-fine," Enri muttered, not willing to throw her friend in front of a carriage.
She'd give her baby sister a stern talking to later.
"That being said," Naruto continued, changing the subject as quickly as he could, "I'd like to invite you two to the wedding."
As Enri started to fidget, Albedo took note of her love's reaction, the wheels in her head starting to turn. Did Lor… er… did… Kurama like this creature because he enjoyed watching her squirm, perhaps? If so, then this relationship suddenly made a lot more sense to her. (6)
"I… I'd love to," Enri said hesitantly. "If you wouldn't mind, of course."
"I wouldn't be offering if I did. I rather like you, you know." Naruto chuckled. "I do want you to keep this a secret, though."
The blonde nodded understandingly, her cheeks turning deliciously pink.
"We'll tell the villagers 'atchya invited 'em ta celebrate your one-year anniversary, then," Tayuya chimed in, hiding her irritation quite well as she cast a quick sour glance the succubus' way. Of course, Naruto could see it clear as day, but no one else did.
His girls really did not like Albedo…
Two weeks later, Enri Emmot couldn't help but feel rather flustered as Lord Kurama's appearance in the village square attracted quite a bit of attention.
He entered the square quite spectacularly through one of those magic gateways he and his associates were apparently able to summon at will, Shalltear and Albedo at his side and accompanied by a bespectacled maid whom she didn't recognize.
And of course, the attention they attracted quickly found itself being placed upon her when Lord Kurama and his entourage approached.
"You ready to head out?"
Enri sputtered helplessly, fidgeting before the apparent vulpine nobleman.
"She's fussin' about what ta wear," Tayuya called out as she joined the group, Nemu and three of Enri's goblins in tow. "Also, these three wanna come with."
"I'd be surprised if they didn't," Naruto commented. "Seeing how protective they are over their adorable, little captain." He then turned his attention to Enri with an amused grin. She blushed and fidgeted cutely, much to his enjoyment. "You don't have to worry about looking presentable, by the way. Yuri, here, will be in charge of finding you and the others something to wear."
The maid in question politely bowed to Enri. "I am Yuri Alpha," she said. "Pleased to make your acquaintance, Ms Emmot."
"S-s-same," the blonde sputtered awkwardly.
"Shall we get going, then~?" Albedo asked, hugging her man's arm lovingly. It went without saying that she was very eager to get started and finally tie the knot with her love.
"Y-yes," Enri answered, looking just a little more sure of herself. Said blonde still felt horribly out of place, but at the same time, she was not about to back down now!
Naruto smiled at her and beckoned for the blonde, her sister, and the three goblins to follow him back through the gateway.
And when they did, Enri was immediately overwhelmed by the palace before her astonished, peasant-from-the-sticks stare. The lot of them were so comically out of place right now; seriously, she felt like a gnat in the realm of the gods!
"You okay?"
Enri yelped, ripped out of her stupor by a certain youko.
"I… uh… I'm sorry," the blonde sputtered, "I was just… overwhelmed. It's… so beautiful."
Albedo and Shalltear smiled at that. If nothing else, they approved of her reaction. The Supreme Ones' abode was the most glorious and magnificent structure in existence, after all.
"It is beautiful, isn't it?' Naruto said with a warm chuckle, fully understanding her shock. "This is my home: the Great Tomb of Nazarick."
"Tomb…?" Enri looked incredibly confused at that. "It looks like a palace!"
"The palace is part of a tomb," Tayuya chimed in bluntly. "Big-ass one, at that."
That left the poor girl even more confused… Why would anyone live in a tomb?
"My friends and I conquered it years ago by dealing with the monsters that lived here," Naruto explained. "Mostly undead, obviously. Then, we kept the name as a bit of a trophy and made it our new home."
"I… I see…" Enri muttered, looking at Albedo in particular with poorly-veiled envy… and no shortage of insecurity. How could she ever compare to a woman who helped Lord Kurama achieve such a thing?
"Albedo wasn't part of the group who did all of that, by the way," Naruto clarified, reading the blonde like a book, causing a not so small part of her to be relieved. "In fact, she was created by one of them a while later."
"Created…?"
"Yup. Believe it or not, she's actually younger than Nemu." (7)
''..."
''..."
''..."
The youko chuckled.
"Did I break her?"
"...Eh?" Enri just… stared in utter shock and disbelief at Naruto as he escorted his fiancee off to one of the many doorways in this massive chamber.
Feeling that they'd dicked around long enough, the youko took his leave, telling his guests goodbye for now on the way out.
"This way, if you will, Ms Emmot," Yuri called out.
The blonde dumbly did as she was told, her mind needing a bit longer to process what Lord Kurama had said.
Meanwhile, the three goblins who accompanied her were similarly befuddled.
"Dyno," Jugem muttered.
"Yes?" The goblin mage looked to her… other leader.
"That wasn't true, was it?"
"No, it was."
"You can't be serious," Paipo chimed in.
"I cast Detect Lies before we came here in case he tried anything. He was telling the truth."
Of course, as a level 100 ninja, he could lie through his teeth without her detecting it regardless, but they didn't know that. He was telling the truth, though…
Aaand once again, roughly five minutes later, Enri found herself getting all flustered, this time by no less than five maids tending to her. She… she was just a peasant girl! This was all so alien to her!
To her surprise, a certain red-haired cleric was among them, too!
And she was not at all shy about whispering naughty things into her ear about Lord Kurama all the while placing some lingering touches… all of which didn't help in the slightest.
Another thing that didn't help was that Enri now stood naked, surrounded by the maids as they rifled through various fancy dresses to find the one she'd look best in, many of them no doubt worth more than her whole village's net worth combined. She couldn't help but feel rather self-conscious, surrounded by so many pretty women, either―several of whom sporting much more impressive… proportions than her, no less.
That wasn't to say she was particularly bad-looking herself, though; Enri just had a bit of a complex as nothing more than a country girl.
She was fairly well-toned as one would expect from a farm girl in particular, with very distinct tanlines on her upper arms and neck. Her curves were in the right places, she had a modest bust, and her flaring hips made it clear that she was ready to start pushing out babies by the dozen. That too was to be expected, given that she was two years into adulthood by the standards of her land.
Four to even six years, by the standards of some others, in fact… or so she had been told. Enri didn't know for sure.
In any case, she was all around, a fairly attractive, young woman with a pretty face. Not an outstanding beauty like Albedo by any stretch, but still above average… simple, quaint and pretty enough to draw the eye of passing nobles… and maybe resulted in a bastard if she was lucky...
Eventually, after much bluster and some heated arguing amongst themselves, the maids found something that was absolutely perfect for her.
The dress was a beautiful, low-cut purple one with a golden sash and white frills. The long, bell-style sleeves extended to just past the knuckles and she wore a white choker to mask the tan line on her neck. And underneath the dress itself, she wore white garters and a pair of simple, but elegant, matching slippers.
The maids also had her all gussied up with makeup and jewelry on top of all that, resulting in Enri barely recognizing herself in the mirror… and blanching on the inside at how much money she was currently wearing.
"Her hair looks fine," Lupusregina sighed in exasperation, catching Enri's attention.
"For now, perhaps," another maid grumbled. "But I assure you that the style is considered bad luck, especially among mothers."
"...Mothers?!" Enri squeaked, her mind immediately jumping to images of little boys and girls sharing her face with manes of a familiar red that faded to black at the tips.
The others didn't seem to notice as the second maid continued. "Several of the Supreme Ones' waifus met a grizzly end when donning it."
"W-waifus…?" Enri asked, not sure she wanted to know… especially since her imagination was still reeling from the last daydream…
"We're still not quite sure what the word means," a third maid replied.
"But we can guess." Lupusregina winked, leaning closer to whisper the next part out. "I'm pretty sure it's another word for paramour."
As she looked upon her reflection, the red-faced blonde couldn't help but wonder what Lord Kurama would think after seeing a common, little farm girl in such a getup.
Would it be like one of those fairy tales her own mother used to tell her…?
She also wondered what he was doing at the moment… Then again, knowing how… active they were, the answer was probably Albedo… Maybe even Shalltear… Possibly both? At the same time? A poof of steam rose from Enri's head at the thought.
Lupusregina giggled and proceeded to nibble playfully, earning them a shy squeak. That didn't help in the slightest, the naughty mental images only becoming more… pronounced.
Oh, if only she knew…
As Naruto headed down the hall to check on a very flustered blonde, the youko was… ambushed for lack of a better word, by his more foul-mouthed daughter. Tayuya grabbed him by the collar and pulled him into a nearby room the instant he wandered into her line of sight.
Of course, he could have easily shrugged off her attempt to yank him away if he wanted to, but that look on her face made it clear that she needed something. So, he mounted no resistance.
He also didn't put up any resistance when Tayuya suddenly pressed her lips to his in a deep, hungry kiss.
Freezing for a moment, Naruto felt unsure of what to do.
On one hand, this was his creation. His daughter. His eroding morals still protested this course.
On the other hand, his "other" self was screaming at him to take her then and there and breed her, to impregnate this attractive, fertile woman with his young.
"W-what are you doing…?"
"Giving that skank the best damn middle finger I can think of." Tayuya muttered, giving him a childish pout before hungrily making out with her father once again.
He couldn't help but find that cute… and to make matters even more awkward, the fact that she was doing this right before the wedding only served to make his dick throb.
"Breed her…"
"Stop that,' Naruto grumbled inwardly, still putting up no resistance to his daughter's advances, even as she started loosening his trousers.
"Breed her…"
'No!'
"You deserve better 'an that creepy-ass skank," Tayuya growled, her eyes glowing demonically as she fished out his cock and started stroking him. "Hell, if I knew you wanted to get your dick wet that badly, I woulda did it myself!"
The aforementioned pecker throbbed again, her aggressiveness and declaration not helping in the slightest…
"Breed her…"
'No!'
And then,she wrapped a leg around him and started rubbing the tip against her loins, making it abundantly clear that she was wearing nothing underneath that dress. And that she was more than lubricated enough to take him.
Naruto shuddered. That did it…
His eyes too started to glow more vibrantly as they locked with Tayuya's and the dark-skinned redhead then suddenly felt like a rabbit before this very hungry fox demon she called a father. The deep, low growl didn't make her feel any safer and hot shivers ran up her spine when she felt his hands upon her hips.
Naruto pulled Tayuya closer as he started pushing forward, his self-control now compromised. He simply couldn't resist.
Tayuya's eyes rolled back and her jaw dropped, the deep, whorish moan caught in her throat as she felt her father's oversized prick invading her folds. It felt so much bigger than it looked… and that was saying something! Would that little beast even fit?!
Well, she was certainly about to find out, as Boss' sword stretched her sheath to capacity.
Slowly but surely, Naruto sank into his younger daughter. He shuddered again. His balls were already churning at the thought of breeding with her… right before the wedding ceremony with Albedo, no less… It was just so wrong, yet, despite himself, he loved it!
Then, father and daughter both let loose the breaths they didn't know they were holding as he bottomed out. Tayuya bit back the whimper. It hurt, but at the same time, she didn't mind at all… and then, she gasped at the sensation of her father pulling back out, his massive cock churning her insides.
And without warning, he thrust back into her.
All she could do was gurgle helplessly, clinging onto him for dear life, as she endured the wave of pleasure that radiated from the point of impact. And then, he did it again… and again… and again.
To be honest, she found this whole situation to be surprisingly pleasant. Normally, Tayuya hated it when she wasn't in control. In fact, she brought this on with the intent of being at the helm herself. But then, it was seized by her father and she somehow didn't mind at all.
Was it the carnal pleasure? The thought of being put in her place by this clear and obvious alpha, perhaps? Whatever it was, she liked it far more than expected. Biting down on his robes to contain her lustful moans, Tayuya whimpered pitifully at the sheer power behind Boss' powerful, merciless thrusts.
It nearly drove her mad…
And already, she could feel him starting to swell up and throb within her. It made the dark-skinned kijo feel rather proud of herself, to be honest. To think that despite the much hotter fiancee he'd been fucking, Tayuya was able to get him close to nutting this quickly… She prepared herself, mustering up the will to pull away when Boss told her that he was about to cum. She had a job to do back at the village, after all, and the western border was by far the least-secure… So, of course, neither of them wanted her to get pregnant. Right?
...That warning never came.
Tayuya's eyes went wide in shock when Naruto slammed into her one last time with a beastly grunt, a wet heat flooding his daughter's loins. She went utterly stiff, unable to move as Boss busted a nut right inside of her unprotected babymaker. Even if Tayuya could muster up the will to pull back, her father's iron grip would've made it impossible as he pulled the kijo closer and thrust into her with every last spurt.
"Fuuuck," Naruto groaned, feeling as though a massive burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He needed that far more than he was willing to admit. "I… can't believe how much I enjoyed that."
Tayuya, meanwhile, was at a complete loss, her cheeks burning so hot that a cloud of steam rose from her head. Then, she let out an uncharacteristic yelp when Naruto hugged her close.
"S-sorry," Naruto whispered.
"It… it's fine," Tayuya murmured back.
"Couldn't help myself. I just… lost control."
That only made her blush even harder. Never in Tayuya's wildest dreams had the kijo thought she'd have such an effect upon her creator… her father… especially given the assortment of much hotter women he had to choose from.
But, damn did it stroke her ego! (8)
Naruto and Tayuya didn't exchange many words after that, the two of them both feeling far too flustered to do so. And something told Tayuya that what they did would come back to haunt them.
Too bad Naruto was simply too damn embarrassed to even think of casting Destroy Evidence...
And thus, the father and daughter parted ways until the ceremony began… and began it did, not an hour later.
Of course, Fumiko was invited to attend, so it was only a matter of time before she bumped into Enri and Tayuya while they were still on their way to the gathering, two of the former's goblins in tow.
Nemu and Paipo, meanwhile, had already arrived, courtesy of Lupusregina.
"Oh, hey, Tayuya-chan!" Fumiko called out. "It's been a while!"
The redhead in question perked up at that and so too did Enri. The goblins, meanwhile, bristled; they could tell that this new arrival was just as dangerous as Tayuya, if not more so.
"It has been," Tayuya commented. "Everything goin' well at the lake?"
"More or less…" Fumiko sighed. Then, she pouted childishly. "Just really boring… nothing happening, no one to talk to, no one to break…"
'Break…?' Enri couldn't help but wonder if she wanted to know what the pinkette meant by that.
"I'm sure Boss'll make it all worth it for ya," Tayuya said.
"I guess," Fumiko muttered, looking uncertain as she came closer.
And when she did… Fumiko stopped dead in her tracks upon noticing a certain scent. It was a faint one, but very distinct. Fumiko leaned in and gave her sister a sniff, causing the lifeblood to drain from Tayuya's face.
"Did you and Papa…" the pinkette trailed off, looking shocked and… rather conflicted.
"Oh, does that mean you're this Fumiko I've heard so much about?" Enri asked, unknowingly coming to Tayuya's rescue.
"Yup," Tayuya chirped, quickly taking full advantage of the―unwitting―distraction to avoid what would otherwise be a mortifying conversation… fuck that, she wasn't suffering this in public! "Fumiko-chan, this is Enri Emmot, the human girl Boss wants to fuck."
And like that, the pink-haired kijo's attention immediately shifted to the now-sputtering blonde as she was torn from her train of thought. She gave Enri an appraising look, sniffed her, and nodded.
"Alright, this one, I understand."
"Yeah, Boss has a weird taste in women, but it's easy to see why he likes her."
"S-so, what does 'chan' mean?" Enri asked, trying to change the subject.
"It's a term of endearment," Tayuya muttered. "I'm pretty sure it has somethin' ta do with where Boss 'n' the other Supreme Ones came from."
"...Supreme Ones?"
"The friends he mentioned. The ones who helped him conquer this tomb and make it their home."
"Oh… okay?" That title seemed oddly grandiose, though… far more so than what was expected of nobility, at least in her experience. Did that mean that they were something more… or something else, perhaps…?
Unbeknownst to her, Jugem and Dyno frowned as they shared those same thoughts.
"Th-that bein' said," Tayuya continued, clearing her throat when Fumiko's gaze fell back upon her, and felt a sudden urge to shift in place, "we should get goin' before the wedding starts."
"Uh… fair enough, I suppose," the pinkette muttered, frowning deeply while staring at her baby sister. The two of them would definitely talk later, though.
Tayuya did not look forward to it...
As they approached the town square within the Ninth Floor's miniature city, Enri couldn't help but let her eyes wander. She simply could not believe that this was all part of a tomb!
Of course, the legions of skeletons guarding it spoke otherwise… even if they seemed rather out of place. The gleaming armor that some of them wore made it clear that these weren't just any skeletons either, though that was all she could say for sure.
There were others milling about as well, creatures of all kinds like none she'd seen before manning shops and stalls throughout the seemingly-underground city, and mingling with the occasional maid here and there. Enri often found herself looking up, just to be sure, and every time, she found the same vaulted, stone ceiling above.
The only reason she could see at all was because the city itself was lit up with countless, ghostly lamps. And the so-called "chapel" they approached… to Enri, it was more like a grand cathedral!
Granted, she'd seen neither in her life, so the blonde had no points of reference; the closest thing her village had to a church, let alone a cathedral, was one particularly-religious guy's house, but for some reason, she simply couldn't call it anything less!
In front, dressed in ceremonial garb, Lord Kurama could be seen looking up at the monolithic building quite fondly. The suit felt… weird, even if literally everyone he'd spoken to assured that he looked damn good in it. The outfit was mostly black in color with a black tie and orange gloves and undershirt. A pair of well-polished, expensive-looking leather shoes finished the outfit and his hair was mostly pulled back into a ponytail. Two tresses where his human ears should be framed his face and his well-brushed bangs hung freely upon his brow.
In all honesty, Naruto never thought he'd be using this building until recently. He also had no idea which one of his guildmates made it, but he suspected that it was Yamaiko-san. Though he couldn't say for sure, seeing how Naruto only knew so much about "Muscle Brain-sensei" as a person IRL, something told him that she was the type who would.
The chapel itself was seemingly made of obsidian with gold accents, ghostly lamps and chandeliers illuminating it with lavender and crimson light. There were several murals inside and stained glass windows throughout, depicting many of the guild's accomplishments.
The benches inside were of darkwood and red velvet, and in the very back, a stained glass window depicting Touch Me-senpai could be seen, giving off an ethereal glow that helped light up the room.
And awaiting them inside were two angels flanking an undead priest. Both of the former were female, while the latter was male. They were named Panty, Stocking, and Garterbelt, respectively, all modeled after the main characters of a classic anime from the previous century.
Panty was a blue-eyed blonde, looking very much human, sporting long, wild hair, red slippers, and a very revealing, red dress.
Enri would be forgiven for thinking it was a night gown, which she did.
Stocking, meanwhile, sported straight, well-groomed locks of navy blue and bright pink, with matching, black, white, and blue clothing modeled after the garb of a gothic lolita. She had a bow in her hair; black-and-blue, candy cane stockings; and black mary-janes. Her cold, blue eyes were seemingly stuck in a state of perpetual boredom.
Both angels also sported white, disembodied wings, seemingly made of light, and floating behind them.
Finally, Garterbelt was a tall, and imposing man, seemingly of sub-Saharan African descent, with an afro half the size of his damn body, a large nose, and a neatly-trimmed, full beard. He was garbed in white and gold, priestly robes, sporting the insignia of Ainz Ooal Gown.
All three were throwaway joke NPCs, created for the sole purpose of making the city feel more populated. If Naruto remembered correctly, they were only level twenty or so, created by Garnet, though the youko suspected that Peronroncino at least had a hand in it, if only as an advisor. The man in question fucking loved that anime, most notably because of its crude humor and over-the-top swearing and violence. (9)
Speaking of… Garterbelt threw his hands in the air and spoke. "Bow ya heads motherfuckers, and give praise," he declared, "for the last and most badass of all the Supreme Ones, friend of the first nine, and successor to the great Lord Touch Me, Lord Kurama, himself, has graced us with his mighty fine presence on this most glorious of days!"
Naruto couldn't help but blush when those present did precisely that… even Enri, Nemu, and the goblins―if only out of common courtesy, though the siblings did it out of legitimate respect.
Damn near every NPC in all of Nazarick was there. Of course, Cocytus and Demiurge were unable to attend, given their assignments. Most of the 8th Floor Hierarchy were also unable to attend as they were assigned to the Catacombs, just in case.
He'd compensate them later…
Even Aura and Mare were present, having been pulled away from their assignments in the Great Forest so that they could attend. Shalltear was like a sister to them, after all, though the youko couldn't help but think he was forgetting someone.
Speaking of NPCs, though, Panty chose then to speak up, waving at Naruto. "Yoo-hoo~! Lord Kurama~! When you're done here, maybe we can get together and have some fuuun~!" She punctuated the offer with a crude hand gesture, much to Enri's embarrassment as she shielded Nemu's eyes.
Then, the blonde angel yelped as Garterbelt bopped her upside the head. And with that out of the way, he reached into his afro, pulling out a green… dog-like creature of some kind, seemingly made of cloth, and chucked it at the pipe organ.
"Start the music," he said, "and let's get this fiiine show on the motherfucking road!"
The dog… thing bounced off of the pipe organ, rebounding off of this wall and that like a damn ping-pong ball, before coming to a stop right next to the instrument in question… and started humping it… which somehow caused the wedding music to start playing.
No one questioned it, save for Nemu, mostly because most who cared simply didn't want to know.
And when that music started playing, Naruto walked down the hall and awaited his bride and… concubine.
Albedo was of course the first to emerge from the back, a pair of homunculus maids lifting her long, flowing wedding gown, as she walked down the aisle.
With a bouquet of roses in hand, her wings and horns out, Albedo paid Enri and Nemu's curious gazes no heed as she approached, feeling as though she were walking on air. Her shoulderless wedding dress was of the finest silks and lace Nazarick had at their disposal, sporting somewhat of a spider web motif, and showing just enough to be both provocative and classy. A white choker and matching, bicep-length gloves accompanied the garment and veil.
Naruto couldn't help but be captivated by the sight, and of course, Albedo noticed. The succubus in question blushed hard at that realization and smiled at him.
Then, it was Shalltear's turn to appear.
As one would expect, though, the vampiric loli looked more like she was here to attend a funeral, her dress contrasting nicely against her pale skin and hair, and against Albedo's attire, while bringing out the red of her eyes.
Enri couldn't help but notice how much more petite the vampire was than she remembered.
Shalltear Bloodfallen was accompanied by her Vampire Brides, clutching a bouquet of red roses of her own and sporting a mostly-black wedding dress with red and white accents and a black and red veil. The former was much like a halter dress, showing off her back and shoulders, with a diamond-shaped boob window to show her cleavage.
It wasn't much, given how petite she was, but Naruto didn't mind at all. If anything, he wanted to stick his dick into that window and rub against her nigh-flat chest.
The dress also accentuated her wide birthing hips and she wore a pair of elbow-length armlets and a… spiked dog collar. It even sported a little dog tag that read "property of Lord Kurama".
Naruto felt his cheeks burn when one of the Brides handed him the leash. He accepted it awkwardly and gave the woman a polite nod.
As for Aura, the tomboyish elf felt rather embarrassed by the display. Of course the degenerate vampire would go all the way with that. At the same time, though, she couldn't help but feel… far more jealous of Shalltear than she was willing to admit.
Enri, meanwhile, didn't know how to feel about the leash… Not all of his concubines were expected to wear such a thing, right…? She remembered Tayuya mentioning that Shalltear was a pervert, so it was hopefully no more complicated than that.
And so, with the bride, groom, and… other present, the priest spoke once more.
"Rejoice motherfuckers!" Garterbelt shouted in praise. "For we are here today, in the de-viiine presence of the most badass sonofabitch y'all have ever seen, the last of the Supreme Ones, Lord Kurama himself, to bear witness to him laying claim to his most loyal and dedicated bitches, once and for all!"
Naruto let out an awkward chuckle while Albedo and Shalltear just… stared. While both knew of this guy for one reason or another, they'd never actually met him. As such, neither woman was really prepared for… well, this.
"You get used to it," Stocking grunted, giving them an uncaring shrug.
"That or he'll drive you insane," Panty chimed in, picking an ear with her pinkie.
"That being said," Garterbelt continued, completely ignoring the angels as he directed his attention to the bride. "Guardian Overseer Albedo, daughter of the great and mighty Lord Tabula Smaragdina, do you take our esteemed Lord Kurama to be your lawfully wedded husband, to love and cherish him and make him the happiest motherfucker alive, to crank out his babies and care for him in sickness and health, til death do y'all part?"
"Yes, I do," Albedo replied, a genuine smile gracing her features as she hugged Naruto's arm.
"And you," Garterbelt called out, redirecting his attention to the vampire, "Shalltear Bloodfallen, Guardian of the Catacombs and daughter of Nazarick's greatest man of culture, the mighty Lord Peroroncino, hereby vow to aid Albedo in sucking the de-viiine cock of our esteemed Lord Kurama, to love and care for him and crank out all the babies he could ever ask for and cherish him in sickness and in health, til death do y'all part?"
"'Man of culture'…?" Aura whispered, looking rather confused. She'd heard that term many times in reference to Lord Peroroncino, but had no idea what it meant in context.
"But of course I do," Shalltear cooed, leaning against her man with a giggle.
Naruto blushed at the attention she and Albedo gave him. And then, Garterbelt turned his attention to him.
"And you my lord," the man said with reverence, "last of almighty the Supreme Ones, successor to the great and mighty Lord Touch Me and de-viiine ruler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, do you accept these mighty fine bitches and vow to grace them with your offspring, to love and care for them, to fuck them good and make them yours for the rest of their days?"
"I… I do," Naruto said, wrapping an arm around either woman and pulling them closer as an awkward, but genuine smile spreading across his face.
"Then, by the power vested in me, bestowed by the mightiest holiest and of de-viiine motherfuckers in all the worlds of Yggdrasil, the Supreme Ones themselves in all their glory, I hereby pronounce you husband, wife, and sex toy! Halle-fuckin'-luyah!" (10)
Well, that was… certainly one way to put it…
'I bet she enjoys that, too,' Aura grumbled inwardly, cheeks burning at the thought.
"Feel free to kiss the bride and may you fuck as many healthy babies as you want into her and the bedwarmer for as long as all o' y'all shall live!"
And so, Naruto turned to Albedo, his cheeks burning once more, and lifted up her veil. Wrapping the loop of Shalltear's leash around his wrist, he then wrapped his arms around Albedo and pulled him into a deep, loving kiss.
The succubus hugged him back, only deepening the liplock, and in that moment, Naruto was grudgingly grateful for Tayuya pulling him aside. Were it not for her, he would have pinned Albedo down and fucked her right then and there.
Of course, his newly-rebranded wife would certainly not mind if he did, but the last thing Naruto wanted to do was mentally scar poor Nemu... even if that voice in his head was telling him that he totally should.
Ignoring those thoughts, the youko eventually managed to withdraw, him and his wife now gasping for air, and when he did, Panty and Stocking presented them with their rings. Albedo grabbed Naruto's and vice versa, and the two of them exchanged rings, before a certain youko found his face buried in his wife's cleavage.
Shalltear couldn't help but be rather jealous, to be honest, but at the same time, she looked forward to what Lord Kurama had in store for them that night...
Poor Enri, however, was likely to have wet dreams for years to come…
The blonde in question buried her head under a large pillow, now staying the night in one of Lord Kurama's guest rooms after a certain red-haired kijo had convinced her to do so.
Words could not describe how grateful she was that Tayuya had Nemu sleeping elsewhere…
"OH, YES, MY LORD, FUCK ME GOOD~!" Shalltear wailed, "MAKE ME YOUR COMPLETE AND UTTER BITCH, I BEG YOU~!"
Enri groaned at the vampire's strangled cries, even able to hear the thumping. Lord Kurama had her pinned against the wall, didn't he…?
Just her luck…
The blonde's imagination went wild, mental images of just how big that "mighty, bitch-breaking cock" was flooding her mind and making her lady bits quiver. And while Enri did her best not to think about it, Naruto was doing his damnedest to imprint Shalltear's pretty, little ass into the wall of his master bedroom.
Two tails holding the vampiric loli's arms above her head, one around her neck, with his hands on her ankles, Naruto stood between Shalltear's spread thighs utterly naked and railing her like she was a common whore.
And Shalltear loved it!
Albedo, meanwhile, was lying on her side, basking in the afterglow of their romp, equally nude, with a stream of white trickling down one thigh and onto the sheets. She giggled lewdly, lazily watching her hubby pound poor Shalltear like a bent nail out the corner of her eye. Their man truly was insatiable, wasn't he~?
Even a few of Shalltear's Vampire Brides lay sprawled about around them, reduced to little more than swirly-eyed heaps, their snatches gaping open and dripping copious amounts of baby-making goop onto the carpet… only their nature as undead kept them safe from his divine seed… or in this case damning them.
For now…
Their current, nearly… re-dead state proved unsurprising, given that Lord Kurama was not just among the Supreme Ones, but their leader on top of that. Albedo smiled, and gushed as she watched him rail into Shalltear without remorse, bitting her lip as she imagined what he'd do to them both when he was done… Even a succubus like her surely stood no chance in quelling that hunger.
Not that she was unwilling to try her best, of course… it was her duty as his wife, after all, was it not~? She giggled again, opting to simply enjoy the show for now.
"IYAAAN~!" Shalltear squealed, both figuratively and otherwise, her juices splashing all over Naruto's thrusting cock. Her inner walls clamped down on him, trying to milk him for his seed, and when they did…
Naruto slammed into her one last time with a roar. His dick visibly throbbed and a wet heat flooded Shalltear's loins; the sensation ripped a gasp from her, and that sound only made his hips buck into her once more as Naruto instinctively tried to ensure that he would knock her the fuck up.
He honestly didn't know if that was possible, but damn was he willing to try in his sex-crazed state.
And try he did, many times that night and well into the morning… (11)
While that was… still going down, after the sun rose and her party broke camp, Natalia Stromgald found herself very much enjoying the life of an adventurer. She hummed a merry tune, skipping along as her group performed a rather standard escort quest.
Viktor's companions and client found it rather adorable, to be honest.
"To think a girl her age saved E-Rantel," Doman commented. "I find it so hard to believe."
"I certainly wouldn't have, were I not there to see it first hand," Viktor muttered. "Damn girl nearly got me killed, using my head as a stepping stone like that."
"I'd like to meet her some time," Natalia chimed in. "I think I could learn a lot from her."
"She was in Carne Village, last I heard," Vasyl pointed out. "Apparently felt like she needed a break after that." As a rogue, gathering information was his specialty. And it went without saying that he was very curious about this "Kushina" girl after catching wind of her being responsible for those undead hordes finally going down.
"Can't say I blame her," Jaromir grunted. "I'd be pretty overwhelmed, too, especially if I had to do that all as a rookie. The battle was slowly turning in our favor before she and that healer friend of hers arrived, but there's no denying that the two of them saved countless lives."
"So, how did she do that?" Natalia asked.
"From what I've gathered, she found the necromancers' headquarters after slipping past the horde," Vasyl explained. "After she killed them off and stopped their ritual, the undead… deactivated, for lack of a better word. It seemed to take a few tries, though, from what I could tell."
"Apparently, that poor boy they found was being used as a conduit," Jaromir added. Of course, he was rather curious as well, wondering how that girl pulled it off, so he accompanied Vasyl in that little investigation. "My best guess would be that she killed the one controlling them, resulting in the undead being weakened. Then, she killed the other necromancers, resulting in most of them going down. Given how long it took for the rest to drop dead, it's safe to assume that she tried to save the boy before resorting to killing him… perhaps he was dear to her?"
"He did tend to visit Carne Village on occasion," Vasyl suggested. "It's pretty likely that they were friends, all things considered. It would explain why she took so long just to mercy kill him."
"I see…" Natalia muttered, deflating a bit. That poor girl… "No wonder she hasn't returned yet." It had been more than a month, too… Did that mean she was retiring for good? Nat hoped that wasn't the case; it would be such a tragic waste of potential if it was.
"Such is the way of things," Viktor sighed. "It's why I was so opposed to letting you register; this life is not an easy one."
Natalia pouted defiantly at that. "I'm a big girl, Papa," she protested. "You don't have to worry so much about me."
"I'm your father; it's literally my job to worry so much about you."
Doman chuckled at the exchange. He knew what it was like to be a father.
"In either case," Kashu interjected. "I kinda wish she was here. Those undead at the border worry me… and those monsters in the forest…" He trailed off. Being from the Empire, he'd only ever heard of their ferocity.
"That's why we're here," Viktor assured. "We have much experience with the walking dead... And you have nothing to worry about when it comes to the Forest of Tob. This is the Wise King's territory, so he'll be keeping them in check."
This was true… but unbeknownst to them, that would change rather soon… (12)
Later that day, in said forest, a certain elf-loli bit back an excited cheer when she finally picked up that giant rodent's trail, not wanting to alert it.
Lord Kurama recently let Aura and Mare have some time off to do their own thing after all of the work they did. So, the tomboyish one immediately seized this opportunity to hunt down that rodent she found so interesting.
It also served as a wonderful opportunity to clear her thoughts as the girl's self control was starting to suffer, lately. She liked Lord Kurama very much, after all, and he liked her in that way, too… but their borders weren't secure yet and the timing would be terrible as her kind were more fertile in the spring and summer months.
Of course, Aura was quite young, so it wasn't certain if she could become pregnant… Typically, an elven maiden didn't become fertile until the age of 80 at least, but Aura still didn't want to risk it.
Early bloomers did exist, after all… and that was not the… on second thought, it probably was the "best" way to learn that she was one… but certainly not the most convenient! She shook her head to dislodge the naughty thoughts before they could take root.
Also, while herbal contraceptives did exist, the thought using them had never occurred to her. Lord Kurama was, after all, a Supreme One, a literal god in the flesh! The very notion that something so mundane could possibly prove effective against his divine seed would've struck her as nothing short of blasphemous!
That said, if she was going to avoid... inconveniencing Lord Kurama, then Aura needed something to take her mind off of him for a bit. And of course, the Supreme One in question noticed what she was up to immediately. He only seemed to find it amusing, though, and told her to be back by sunset.
That was more than enough time.
Thinking back on the exchange, Aura couldn't help but smile. He also urged her to be careful, as one would expect. Clearly, Lord Kurama meant it when he said that the people of Nazarick were his family.
Unfortunately, that only made her want to jump him even more! Yet another reason to appreciate this breath of fresh air...
And he didn't need to worry so much about her safety. Aura was a big girl, despite her looks and lack of experience; she knew better than to give him a reason to worry. It was so endearing, though… The "young" elf couldn't help but feel inclined to show her appreciation… in a way that wouldn't potentially result in a baby in her belly... yet.
'Maybe the giant rodent's pelt would make for a nice coat?' Aura smiled at the thought. There was only one way to find out… (13)
DMS Notes and Trivia:
1: ...I'm totally making a bolter bitch named Dominika Lolikonis as a result of this. XD
2: Given that it has served its purpose, I feel like Naruto would start doing away with the title Lord Ainz. He did, after all, only introduce himself by that name to try and lure out any nearby enemies so they could be dealt with.
Hilariously, this was inspired by my dumb ass accidentally making the wrong person call him Kurama while writing the previous volume, but at the same time, passing Ainz Ooal Gown off as a title and telling his "subjects" that they may call him Kurama seems like what he'd do here. So, yeah, we're going with that.
3: I mean… what otaku wouldn't feel that way about the infamous "dead mom" hair? XD
4: Given how useful wagons and carts are for transport, it's pretty safe to assume that there's a reason the lizardmen didn't start making use of them despite their wanderers having undoubtedly seen one or two on occasion. Or rather... I'm pretty sure they didn't? I could be wrong. I certainly don't recall the technology being mentioned in the translations I've read, though.
Regardless, I'mma go ahead and assume in this story that the marshy terrain resulted in or at least contributed to this technology being deemed impractical by the lizardmen who tried to emulate it.
5: Just another small difference that's bound to change a lot, lol. Naruto having a different mindset and motivation is going to do that, methinks.
6: Looks like someone else will be jumping to conclusions in Demiurge's stead. XD
7: Hilariously, she probably would be.
8: I enjoyed writing this lemon way more than I probably should have. XD
9: Upon reading up on some of the other guild members, I realized how underutilized they were in the previous volume. That said, I'll be doing my best to try and avoid that from here on out, lol.
Also, yes, those three are the actual Panty. Stocking, and Garterbelt. =3
AdV: You can thank me~
10: Not gonna lie, these lines were such a treat to write. XD
11: Yeah, it goes without saying that this volume is off to the races, lol. Now that Naruto has more or less overcome the hurdle of boinking Albedo, he's gonna be quite a bit more… active from here on out to say the least. =3
That's not to say that the story's going to be taking a backseat, though. The others and I, AdV especially, will endeavor to make sure that the sex at least feels like a natural part of it.
AdV: Squints at V3… uh… riiiiight… that…
DMS: Ahem… I shall try. XD Not saying I'll succeed, but I shall try, lmao.
12: Oh no…
Evil implications aside, I very much liked writing this scene, giving the world a bit more character by showing people just talk about the shit Naruto did and sharing their opinions on the matter. Makes the world feel more lived in, y'know?
13: Hamsuke nooo~! XD
AdV: Hamsuke yes! Hamsuke die!
Parting Note: And that is the first chapter of the new volume done! I must say, this was a fun way to start it off, lol. Just in time for the new year, too~! I'm shooting for the first Friday of February for the next chapter, since we still have a lot of editing to do before I can return to the previous schedule, but progress is being made. I hope y'all enjoyed and Happy New Year!
