The eight demon queens
chapter 20
Author's note: Yes, I know you're mad it's not a chapter getting the story moving, but given how long it's been, is it any surprise we need a refresher course? It also shows the story is NOT discontinued, so anyone who tries to assume already has their answer.

-Unknown location-
Within a small white void, a lone chair stood within the gravity-less space, as a figure sat on it, sipping tea like there was no tomorrow.
"Ah, jasmine tea, always a fine choice." the figure, who was revealed to be a tall pale skinned woman with short spiky purple hair, green eyes, a D cup chest and wide ass, wearing a long sleeved white tux with a red lined cape, purple gloves, a white top hat, white pants and black high heels, as she looked at the screen with a smile. "Ah, finally. I was expecting you guys, the reviewers I presume?"
As she placed the cup of tea on a nearby stool that appeared from the void, she pointed to the screen and chuckled.
"Yes you lot, the ones with the Iphones and tablets watching me from the fourth wall itself." she smiled. "You all must be asking 'What's going on? Where's the chapter?' Well you see, this one is different. It's a chapter, but also NOT a chapter."
As the woman stood from her chair, the void seemed to form several platforms right near her heeled shoes.
"This place is what I call 'non-canon timeline void' or as you would call it, a singularity between the human realm's time stream and the world of demons' time stream. Anything here becomes unmade, anything here can be seen from all times and places and anything regarding reality is nulled. Meaning I can hear, see and talk to you like a fourth wall character in a manga or anime." she chuckled. "So this here is a way to inform you all on what's going on. Consider it a chapter to help you all remember where we last left off on things."
Moving her left hand to the side, a small 1920's styled film projector materialized from the void itself, as she pointed to it with a grin.
"And all in a film format. Silent film to be exact given this place has terrible reception." She moved over and pulled an old film reel from her hat and hooked it up. "Now, as I said before, this is like a slide show really, a look at the past and current present. No hints or spoilers here. Sorry kiddies, I can't have EVERYTHING spoiled before the end, that's bad sportsmanship. Now if I wanted to show Rin's underwear to you that's different."
A screen slid down in front of it while she went over and sat back down on the chair.
"Now, let's go back to the beginning." she said while snapping her fingers, the screen moving closer and closer to the screen as it revealed a tiny baby version of Mephisto nibbling on a rock. "Nope! Too far! I'm not going to show you my so-called 'diaper' days, no matter how non canon that is." 'Sickos.'
The screen cut out before it showed numbers counting down.
"Now let's show you the tale of Rin Okumura, son of Satan, and my silly brother." the woman said as the numbers counted down from '3' to '0' instantly.
Beep.
The screen showed off Rin with his sword, the flames coming out of it as he pulled it out the first time.
"Ah yes, the day he became an Exorcist by name. A sad thing for his adoptive father to be turned into a vessel, but it was necessary to start the plot." she said while watching Rin killing his father to save his soul from destruction. "But this was only a single action that changed his life, for in the past."
The screen flickered a little to reveal several girls, all of different ages and sizes, as Rin was busy interacting with them.
"He met his sisters, all from different parents, including yours truly, and interacted with them in such a way that we had to change our goals from helping our father to, well, helping him. Call it infatuation but he was the first person to show kindness to us."
The next images showed him helping or assisting them in different ways and manners.
"It might have been silly, but to run into someone like him, while we were young? It definitely left an impression on us." she said with a chuckle. "But it was with his sister that it went the craziest."
The screen flickered to reveal Yukio taking care of her brother.
"Kind and sweet to Rin yet underneath all of that is a crazy yandere demoness with the means to take him, but not the drive. Meh, she has to wait in line." she waved her hand. "Especially after Rin had himself a sort of family reunion at the very school he went to."
The screen quickly flickered to reveal Rin interacting with his older sisters once, more usually resulting in a lot of property damages.
"It was fun, well for us anyway. But then the Church, with Rin's own grandfather at the helm, decided to just basically kill him for being a half demon. Basic church stuff really but I'd be damned if I allow them to kill him for a self centered man's mad designs."
The next images to follow showed Rin and his sisters dealing with various demons that were sent after them.
"It was crazy, especially for Rin, who had very little experience with his powers. So we stepped in, helped train him and his sister too once her powers manifested, and right now, they are…passable. Still need some work but over all, they can defeat a Knight ranked Exorcist for a few minutes….maybe?"
The next image showed Yukio showing off black flames with her guns and a more cold look to her eyes.
"Speaking of which, didn't they have demon puberty?" she muttered as the screen showed a very hair Rin for a spell. "Who knows, but all I do know is that the old bastard had just sent some very dangerous people after Rin."
The screen flickered revealing four prisoners being released from their restraints.
"If they succeed, well it might not end well for anyone. But I believe in those two, they can handle it on their own, along with Rin's friends."
The screen flicked to show Rin's friends talking together in the hall with smiles on their faces.
"Still don't know about having Shiemi and Izumo as a couple but hey, they are reliable and maybe the key to getting those two under control." she said while an image of an out of control Rin appeared on screen. "Friendship is the key to taking on evil powers, no matter how boring it is."
A quick image showed Rin being held up by a large moth demon, who seemed to be getting a bit too grabby.
"On one hand I'm proud, but also glad I'm not like my sister. Who knows what she would have done to Rin during that little trip."
Another image of a flaming woman appeared on screen.
"Or her, I know she wants to do…well the deed, but she's way too forward, and while I understand that, we need to have our chances in the spotlight. No outshining in this sisterly rivalry…to my knowledge at least."
The next one showed Azazel looking slightly bigger than usual.
"Oh right, forgot about that detail. She got fat because she thought it would make Rin happy, not that he cares since it's all sibling fun and all. Personally she needed some meat on her bones, given she is a 'lord' of ghosts and the like."
The image of Lucifer being hugged by Rin appeared on screen as well.
"And her getting some hugs will help, especially with her insane cult she created. By the dark lord, she needs to reign them in before they cause a hassle!" Mephisto shook her head. "Then again, it would be interesting to see what her expression would be if Rin and her…nah. That's jumping ahead, we have to stay focused."
The next image flickered and showed off Rin's friends coming back with his sword, newly fixed and repaired.
"Ah, the new blade. A good thing really, but I do hope it's enough for the dangers ahead. I mean he really needs to train hard to become the 'alpha' demon like his father."
Another image flickered and showed Azazel having a private conversation.
"Mmmm. I might need to check up on her later, to make sure she isn't doing anything stupid. Or worse…with father." she shuddered. "Especially if her actions will lead to the realms merging together in a fantastic display of fire and brimstone."
An image of Egyn in her human form appeared on screen while giving Rin a smile, same with Beelzebub.
"Oh right almost forgot, those two are trying to woo him as well. One as a friend and the one as a science experiment. Hopefully her insect, Yuyuko, keeps the bug demon in check." She chuckled while looking at the screen. "Anyway, I believe that's all of the slides...I think."
The screen flicked a little while revealing Rin's naked body.
"Oh, my bad, forgot about that one." She chuckled before the film ended. "Anyway, that's the story so far."
As the film projector vanished, the woman pulled out a cup of tea from her hat and drank it.
"The next chapter will involve the prisoners, so I hope you tune in for that one." she gave a wink and waved to them while Amaimon in her hamster form poked her head out from the hat.
