Chapter Number 15! Once again, outta number-related jokes/puns. At least Needy ain't here currently to yank my chain about it. Anyway, I started school again, physically, so I won't be able to work on everything at the same pace as I have been until now. Even now I'd be writing SOME stuff in school when the opportunity shows itself. If ya wanna show some support, then consider joining the Discord. The link will be at the bottom of the chapter.
Nerdy: EAT MY DICK BITCH, I'M RIGHT HERE HAHAHA!

REVIEWS:
8-But Pirate: Lol with the white-haired girls, but I have to confirm your suspicion about Azazel. Angels are bound by their chastity, so if Azazel sleeps with Jaune she will fall.
Loveless: As said above, Azazel will fall if she has intercourse, but to answer fully Jaune wouldn't turn into an angel. Nothing would happen to him, tbh, only to Azazel in the aspect that she will become a Fallen Angel.
Afanficman: He won't go telling if that is what you are asking. Sure, meeting a Schnee is going to put him on edge, but he won't start a feud over ancient history. Except for Cardin. I got plans.
It was late evening when Jaune and his family stopped their little snow war. They all gave each other a final goodbye before they returned to each of their respective homes. However, Juliet did take a bit longer as she caught a certain fragrance on her son. One she knows; a woman. That didn't necessarily mean he slept with anyone - yet - but it meant he was close to one or multiple. And with her mental state more or less recovered? Her motherly instincts kicked in. Not a word used to inquire about it, only the sly smirk of a mother who knows her son is in good hands.
Hands that will likely hold a new grandchild soon, but who can blame a parent for wanting to be a grandparent?
Grimm didn't surface during their fun, nor on his way back. A trait of Ansel - low Grimm population. A blessing seeing what it enabled. But as far as anyone who wishes to train as Huntsman goes? A nuisance. The occasional Beowolf makes for good training. He was also confident that, with his training and abilities, he could hold his own against a pack. But better not tempt fate.
His sisters initially didn't want to leave him again, but he was able to convince them it was for the best. The night was drawing close, so he had to get home, same with them. The snow was still falling, even now, but it was picking up a bit together with the wind. An incoming blizzard. Good thing the house was powered by its generator. Speaking of, he should really ask Beel if he can go into the basement yet. Curiosity was killing him.
He walked until he reached the inner barrier where no Grimm could enter, already spotting the lights of the house in sight. He smiled seeing the silhouettes of everyone inside, most likely having some fun. He had to hurry, however, before Lucifer went on a rampage after him. He decided to sprint a bit, however, a certain, young voice had him stop in his tracks. "Jaune?" He froze, recognizing the voice all too well.
Slowly, he turned around, locking eyes with his younger sister - Silva. Did she follow him? How? When? How come he didn't notice? This was a problem, a big one. "Is that where you live?" She asked, pointing at the large house behind him. He couldn't lie to her, especially now that she saw where the house was! Not to mention it was night outside and cold, he couldn't leave her here! What else can he do now?
"Yes. But, Silva, why did you follow me?" He asked, watching her look around and even scratch the back of her head. A family thing it seems. All Arcs seem to do that when nervous. He watched her struggle to come up with an excuse, but time was short. "Know what? How about I call Mom to let her know you're safe and you can spend the night here before I take you back home tomorrow?"
"Deal!" She chipped happily, then she yawned. "Sleepy" Jaune sighed with a chuckle at his sister's antics. He went to her, picking her up in his arms before turning back to the house. Silva looked at it with eyes filled with amazement. "It's a big house!" She muttered.
"Yeah, and a full one. Reminds me of home." He said walking up to the door, then he froze. How was he going to explain everything to the girls? Granted, his sister was young enough that no one would take her seriously if she said her brother was living with demon girls no one would believe it. Living with multiple girls in general? Yeah, they might buy that one, but still better than the truth.
But to his misfortune, as he tried to think, Silva stretched her little arm to the door and opened it, alerting the inhabitants of their arrival. At least the reception was...nice. "Oh, welcome back, Jaune!" Azazel was the one to greet him, being the only one near the door. However, her gaze immediately found Silva. "Oh! Who are you, you little cutie?" She asked, getting closer to them.
Silva, being a bit shy, hid her face in his neck. "It's ok, Silva. This is Azazel. Azazel, this is Silva, my youngest sister. She kinda followed me back and I didn't notice until I arrived, so she will be spending the night."
"Oh, I understand. No worries, Silva, everything will be ok. Jaune's a good brother for deciding to bring you here, the house is always lively!" The angel cheered, then the sound of shouting began.
"Cerberus!" Lucifer shouted from the kitchen. "Did you eat my pancakes?!"
"No?" The trio answered together, although the chocolate stains on their faces gave them away. Jaune immediately went to the kitchen to check the situation out of habit - living with them for so long helped develop a few - and gave Silva over to Azazel for a moment.
"What is going on?" Silva asked as she held onto Azazel. "Who shouted?"
"Oh, that was Lucy!" Azazel replied. "Let's go say hi, everyone else is in the kitchen." With that being said, they went into the kitchen as well, seeing Jaune scold Cerberus for stealing Lucifer's pancakes. However, upon entering the kitchen, everyone slowly turned their eyes on the smaller girl who, in her defense, got shy again and hid her face in Azazel's neck this time. "Now, now, no need to get shy."
"Who do we have here?" Justice asked, being one of the first to walk to them. "I may be blind, but I sense someone new and tiny in the room"
"Silva," Jaune called out to her, then went to them, picking up his sister. "Her name is Silva Arc, my youngest sister"
"Aww, look at her little cheeks" Modeus mussed, walking close to them. "She is so cute!"
"I agree," Beel said, approaching as well, like the rest of the girls, each one of them wanting to meet the youngest daughter of the Arc family. Granted, Silva was shy for the most part but quickly got more comfortable being near everyone. She even asked questions that, frankly, Jaune expected. Stuff like 'Why do you have tails and horns?' and 'Are you the ones my brother is living with' were among them. He had to make an effort and to his luck, everyone simply said they were Faunus and that everyone lived there, with Beel being the landlady.
Granted, he had to stop any of them from revealing any demonic stuff or reveal the whole Harem shebang. But when Silva asked if they were his girlfriends? He was late. Modeus dropped it like that, everyone even showing blushes. Well, technically, they were something like that? He didn't know how that worked, he likely had to do some research.
He called his mother a bit later, calming her as she noticed Silva was gone. Granted, even though he tried to avoid it, Silva did shout 'Jaune lives with girls' over the phone and then specified that there were only girls there. He felt a shiver when his mother mused on the other side of the phone, then he quickly hung up. He cannot deal with this now, it was late evening. And Silva, if her yawning was any indication, agreed. He took her to his room to spend the night, even if Azazel wanted to volunteer, and frankly, he would have had no issue with that but decided it was better if he kept an eye on her.
The next morning he made sure to meet with his mother in Ansel again, dropping Silva off. He didn't linger around, returning into the woods swiftly afterward, waving his mother and sister goodbye for now. He hoped Silva wasn't going to cause trouble, especially if she was to tell their mother details about the girls. Luckily, they behaved that morning with not even Modeus sneaking into his room to try and live up to her namesake.
It was...good to have his little sister over. Before moving out, his younger sisters would often go to him in the middle of the night when they had a nightmare. He would often let them sleep with him in his room, check for the boogieman, and he even had to pretend to be fighting something once and say he came out victorious! And one time, there really was something there; a bat - God knows how it got there - nestled in Lapis's closet. They never let him live down his girlish scream back then when he saw the flying rat.
Remembering all of those times brought a warm smile to his face as he walked back to the house through the already thick snow. His steps made sounds with each step taken until he reached the front door and went inside the house. He had to talk with Lucifer about some things, then call Ignium regarding his gifts for Justice and Judgement. Hopefully, he can offer some help.
But first, it was time to set the Theology straight. He had heard of the Church of God and the Brother Gods, both true from Lucifer's words. But who was first? He went to her, the Devil simply lying on the couch. "What can I help you with?" She asked, looking up at him.
"I was wondering if you could clarify some things for me" he replied. "Namely the theology of both God and, well, no offense, you and the Brother Gods" Lucifer looked at him with a sly smirk, then readjusted herself on the couch, watching Jaune take a seat next to her. The fact he came to her to know about this swelled her pride a bit, but she had to keep her self-boasting for later.
"Well, where do I begin? It has been a few good eons since then, but I guess I should begin with a simple order of business: He was there first" She said, pointing up and referring to the Almighty One. "He always has been. You see, contrary to belief, the Brother Gods didn't design the humans, but He did, making them in his image. But here is the question: How did the Brother Gods take over? Well, you could say the world had the reset switch strapped onto it. When the first humans were created, He kept them in his garden, Eden."
"I read about that. They didn't listen to God and gave into temptation, correct?" At this Lucifer tensed up a bit, showing a faint blush of embarrassment mixed with pride. "You were responsible for it, didn't you?"
She took a moment to answer. "Yes. Humanity was born AFTER my war against Him after I fell. You could say the start of my great revenge started with you, the humans. I took the form of a snake and tempted Eve, the second Woman, to-"
"Wait a minute, wasn't she the first?" Jaune interrupted.
Lucifer scoffed a bit at the interruption, but it was expected at some point. "The first was Lilith, who today is regarded as Mother of Demons. She refused to submit to her husband, Adam, and ran away. She found herself in Hell, becoming the first Fourth Generation demon" she replied. "She is usually forgotten or not all churches include her. But back on the main track, I tempted Eve to bite the forbidden fruit, Adam, at her request, did the same. Seeing humanity forsaken like that was truly something"
"Ok? I don't know how to feel about that, but I guess what is done is done" Jaune replied, scratching the back of his head while processing all of the information. "Continue"
"As humanity was struggling, that was when the Brother Gods arrived, bringing with them Magic and Grimm to the world" she continued. "God had forsaken them, and I even asked him myself what he made of that heresy. But when the one you ask is an All-Knowing being, a fact you tend to forget, the answer is usually vague. A few millennia later, His religion was barely practiced anymore. Don't get me wrong, He and the God of Light struck a few deals, but it was mostly their turn to rule. But that changed one day" She frowned.
"What happened?"
"A Usurper" Lucifer replied. "A foolish human woman who wished for her husband back. She tricked the Gods, making a mockery of them and the balance between the living and deceased. As a punishment, the Gods made her immortal to never reunite with her lover again until she learned the value of the balance"
"But that's -"
"Horrible? Harsh? Unfair? It may be all of them, Jaune, but her sin was done. Her trickery almost sent the Brother Gods into a fight." Lucifer rebuked him, then she took a second to get back on track. " She used her immortality, gathering an army. She turned humanity on the Gods and them, more specifically the God of Darkness, whipped humanity from the face of the earth and left this world. The Usurper, her followers, and even the animals were eradicated. No life was left par the Grimm"
"Then how come humanity and the Faunus kind still exist?" He asked, making Lucifer smirk.
"It all started when He, in His everlasting love, felt pain in his heart seeing humanity so easily swayed again" She replied. "Some angels thought I had something to do with this genocide, but He cleared the misunderstanding. He decided to forgive humanity and thus gave them a new life. That is also how Faunus came to be as well - a side-project of His. But they had to be forgiven, to have their sins - committed by their ancestors - cleaned. He sends onto them his only son to bring salvation."
"Jesus Christ" Jaune mutters, to which Lucy nods.
"He was every bit like his father, I swear." She mused. "Even on the cross, with nails through his flesh, he never dared loathe humanity. With his blood, you were forgiven and Heaven's gates became opened for you. Although that meant fewer people for Hell." She looked outside, at the falling snow. "Aura, Dust, and Semblances are not His or mine to take for creating; The God of Light bestowed those last gifts onto you while his brother left the Grimm behind as a curse and punishment. The entire history of humanity can be summarized in many ways, but I mainly call it a herd of sheep changing Shepherds" she finished. "Was this little history lesson enlightening to you?"
"Very" he replied. "It changes everything I knew about the world, really. To know the Brother Gods exist - granted, I should have figured it out sooner since God and you exist. What happened with The Usurper? You said she was immortal."
"Likely reunited with her love" she replied. "I doubt they did a half-hearted job at erasing humanity."
He smiled. "Glad to hear. You know, in some strange way, I cannot find it in me to even hate that woman. I mean, I know what she did was bad, and...She brought genocide on humankind. But she did everything to be reunited with her loved one. She did everything to be with him, even standing up to the Gods themselves."
Lucy listened to him closely, but a question lingered on her lips. "Jaune?"
"Yes?"
"Would you do the same for us as well?" She asked, looking at him. Her crimson gaze fixed on his ocean blue eyes, waiting for his answer. Jaune saw no wine in sight either, meaning she was sincere. "Would you dare defy and stand before Him - who created your kind and gave you your second chance, for us damned beings?"
He took a few moments to process the question asked. Going against God himself? He might have a demon girl harem, living in sin already, but can he do this? For them? For Justice, Judgement, Pandemonica, Cerberus, Malina, Zdrada, Beelzebub, Modeus, maybe even Azazel, and...Her? Standing up to God for Lucy? A few months ago, he might have needed more time, but the girls grew on him. Despite the terrible week once a month, their sometimes annoying antics, and the high pancake demand, he cared about them all.
Who was he trying to fool but himself? The gates to Heaven might as well have a flyer with his face on it that says 'STAY OUT' by now. But if it means living this life? Being on his way to becoming a Huntsman? To fulfill his dream? Then even giving up on Heaven is worth it. "Lucifer, for you and the other girls there is nothing I don't think I wouldn't do anymore. Standing up to God? I admit it sounds absolutely crazy, but that comes from the same guy who has a demonic harem with Lucifer herself in it and played video games with Hell's topman" he replied. "So in short, yes. Race be damned, you girls are your own souls, so who can say your race defines you?"
Lucifer's eyes grew wide as she listened to him, even thinking she had been hearing things from the alcohol. But she was not drinking any wine at the moment, so that was quickly corrected. Her heart's beatings accelerated as well listening to him, feeling a warmth she hasn't felt in eons. She let a blush creep on her pale skin, trying to keep up a confident, smug smile. "Jaune?"
"Yes-" In that definite moment, a Christmas miracle accrued. Lucifer moved swiftly, and without warning, planted a kiss on his cheek. The boy froze at this action.
"Thank you." She replied, the blush on her persisting. However, when she looked at him again, expecting an answer or some reaction - well, she guessed that was a reaction of sorts. She giggled seeing him wide-eyed with his jaw dropped. Still a virgin it seemed. "Watch out for flies," she said, using her hand to close his mouth, and then she got up. "I'll see you later during dinner, Jaune" she left the living room, going upstairs to her room, a subtle swing in her hips as she ascended the stairs with confidence.
And Jaune? To put his state in simple terms; has encountered an unexpected hormone overload and needs to reboot. And where does said reboot come from? Well, most of the girls were off doing their own thing, except for Monica...Who had her horns enlarged a bit...Oh no.
"Oh? Are ok, Jaune?" She asked in a faked worry, waving her hand before his eyes. No effect. He was just plainly staring into the void, waiting for it to stare right back at him. Or for it to swallow him whole. "Wakey, wakey" she mused, snapping her fingers this time. She was starting to get pissed, so she brought her pencil out. "Well, if you won't listen nicely…" she held the pencil like a knife. "I'll make you listen"
He rebooted just as her pencil went in his hand.
Later that evening, Jaune was in his room, a bandage wrapped around his hand. He was getting ready for bed, trying not to dwell on what happened after Lucy...Can you even call that a kiss? Don't get him wrong, that was a kind of kiss, but even then he was somewhat embarrassed. If he froze up like that from a peck on his cheek, then how bad is he going to react to the actual kiss - wait, no, Malina kissed him back in Hell. That was sudden, for sure, and unexpected. Kind of a heat of the moment action.
He didn't fully dislike it, but the way she was acting about it, requesting him to do her? That had him spooked. He sighed, sitting on his bed and unwrapping his hand. Healed. Aura came in handy with those girls at times, healing most injuries without leaving a lot of marks. Then again, all of the girls could use some magic and Azazel's healing, which was used every time Judgement trained him until he broke something, was really good to have. Not to mention keeping him from turning into a demon.
His crazy life only got more by the passing day it seemed. And frankly? He would never trade it off for anything there is. Speaking off, he had a call to make so he went to his bathroom. He let some hot water pour out of the sink, the steam setting on the mirror before writing 666 in the mirror, watching it then turn to Ignium's face. "Jaune! What a...Well, can't say it is well-timed"
"Well, I-" Ignium let put a strange grunt, his image in the mirror fading to black. "Ignium?"
"Still here! Just- Fuck, you are clenching!" Jaune recoiled hearing the demon talk dirty. "I am nailing some hoe!" At this Jaune immediately went red, having called Ignium in the middle of his own little moment of bliss. "Say it quick!"
"I was wondering if my healing can be used to cure blindness in demons!" Jaune quickly answered.
"Yes! If they sprinkle it on the eyes or drink it - Yes!" Somehow, that last 'Yes' sounded strange. "Gotta go!" He finished the call, leaving an embarrassed Jaune behind. It was one thing to know they do it and another to...witness it. At least he cut the image. He really didn't need that to scar him.
Walking out of the bathroom he walked to his mini-fridge and, since he wanted to forget what he witnessed, opened up a bottle of Vodka Malina gave him. It was after a small bet over a game, Jaune winning by a margin, but a win was a win. He poured himself a glass, then placed the rest of the bottle back. One swing, the liquid was down the hatch, feeling the burn of the alcohol in the back of his throat. Oh yeah, that hit the spot. Regardless, he had to keep in mind what Ignium said. He is going to need a knife, bottle, and a small box.
Christmas was tomorrow, and Jaune spent a long time preparing each gift for each individual girl. It took him a bit of asking around and sneaking about to hide the gifts until the holiday arrived, but with one way away he was confident he managed to secure them. He got gifts for all of them: Monica, Modeus, Cerbi, Mal, Zdrada, Aza, Cool-J and High-J, and Lucy and Beel. Also tried getting nicknames down for each, Zdrada being the only one without a nickname for now.
As for what he got for each of them? Well that is to be revealed tomorrow, for tonight there were other activities he could do, namely, simply spending time with everyone. He has been hanging out with Justice and Judgement a bit, discussing multiple subjects such as his training. Apparently, Judgement and Justice agreed that come spring they will really push him. Azazel is the only one making his training possible by healing him and now they were going to abuse that. Oh, joy.
As for the others? He had to prevent another fight between Malina and Zdrada from causing too much damage to the house. This has to be the sixth time it happened since returning from Hell and it had him worried. It was not uncommon for siblings to fight at times, but those girls were taking it to the next level. He decided not to lecture them too much, despite having siblings and the possibility to relate. He was having a feeling that stuff would only escalate.
At rest, Monica was lecturing Azazel about the demonic laws, customs, and torture methods used in Hell which the angel was speedily scribbling down on her notebook. He was surprised at first when Monica agreed to lecture Azazel and he even feared for the little angel's innocence. He still does, thinking one day she'd come out of the library with her halo broken in two. Which, by the way, no one could do with raw force alone. They all tried, but that thing proved indestructible.
Next on the list were Modeus and Cerberus. The lustful demon, when not reading or snooping in his room, clinging to him when he was around, or simply asking for attention or...Eloping; she'd often spend some time outside with Cerberus, watching the triple demon play around in the snow. Beelzebub also does the same, hanging out and watching over the girls, not clinging to him and whatnot. She was like this mother figure to all, always looking out for everyone. Granted, whenever you'd praise her she often did a 'grand dialogue' as Jaune dubbed it. It wasn't a bad thing, just her own personality eccentricity. That and she is a glutton when it comes to sweets. Kinda obvious considering her sin - gluttony.
Last but not least, Lucy herself. He had been spending time with her around the house or in the kitchen cooking. She really spends a lot of time in the kitchen really, cooking all sorts of pancakes. Like Beel, she has a peculiar reaction to praise, but in her case, it's more of a self-compliment thing. Fits her sin as well, that being her pride. Monica once told him lust for sin is in their blood, so it mostly explains their behaviors. Each must have a sin or sins that make up their being.
But did he care? Not really. It has been months since living with them and he has more or less gotten used to this lifestyle already. Except for Monica's occasional finger-breaking. By the Gods, Jaune's skill in making coffee must be top-notch at how much coffee and how much care he had to do. If not for Aura his hand would be crooked even now. But what was the plan for today? Simple; preparations for tomorrow's Christmas party. And for that, he needed to finally step into the basement.
He had already asked Beel if it was ok for him to venture there. And she agreed. Reluctant, but she said yes. So he went to the door, turning the handle on it and opening it. He was surprised to see it all lit up, the way down being enlightened by multiple lights. So he began his descent, going down the stairs into the lower levels, eventually reaching down. And this was not what he had in mind. "What...The Hell?" The basement, or rather said, underground floor to his house. As he arrived he was met by a hallway going forward with two doors on both the right and left.
"Quite the surprise, right?" Beel said, prompting him to turn around to see her descend into the basement as well. "The basement, or rather, the underground area, can be expanded as much as we want! No need to worry about outside aesthetics."
"And you had to keep me out, why?" He asked.
"Because, darling, the girls have made...requests, regarding this place" She took out her handkerchief, starting to whip away at her sweat. "Some are more persistent than others. Anyway, since you also insisted, follow me to the boiler and generator room. That Is the only room I'll let you see for now anyway"
The demoness led Jaune towards one of the doors, the one on the left side, leading him into a smoldering hot room. Jaune didn't need to read minds to know this is the boiler room, but something else caught his attention aside from the actual boiler. "Why is the generator here?!" He shrieked out in a panic. "It can blow up!"
"On the contrary, Jaune," Beel assured him. "The generator you have here is actually a technological wonder, unique only to this house! You see, we did use a few generators a while back to power the house, which is another reason you were not allowed down here, due to the mess, but during his last visit Ignium was nice enough to offer some help"
Jaune leaned down to look at it, noticing the demonic runes. As he got closer he noticed it was colder the closer he got. It absorbed the heat around it, most likely to enhance its production. "It combines Remnant's Dust-based technology for its fuel, which is Energy Dust crystals, and demonic arts in order to create it. It not only saves space, but it outputs energy even by absorbing heat! And at the rate of Malina consuming energy? We need it" Beel finished, then pointed at the boiler, starting anew. "As you know, this boiler heats the entire house, but there is also another function."
"Wait…" He turned to Beel, then he looked at the pipes. He saw one going to the outside of the house, towards the pool. "We can heat the pool?!"
"And even add some water jets in!" Beel continued. "The pool was well equipped with such luxuries. However, Jaune, this is the only room I can allow you in for now. The other rooms are more or less the personal domains of each girl, so they must take you there themselves."
"Noted. Glad to know the pool can be heated, I was kinda planning on asking about that." He said, earning the curious look of Beelzebub. "You see, I was planning on holding a little Winter beach party, and heating the pool is perfect!"
"That is a perfect idea, I am not going to lie, and does sound very entertaining," Beel said. "But is it just for fun, or to get a glimpse at all of us in swimsuits as well?" Jaune blushed hearing her tease, which made the demon giggle in delight seeing him getting flustered. He can grow as much as he wants, but they will always get to him. "Still a sweety, darling. Anyway, just turn the lever over there to have some of the temperature travel to the pool. It's freezing outside, so I recommend turning it on now and letting it run overnight"
"If you say so," Jaune replied, then followed her instructions, turning the level. The boiler flickered a bit as one of the pipes started to turn slightly hotter. It was working, alright.
"Marvelous. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a swimsuit to prepare" Beel said, leaving the basement. Jaune followed outside swiftly after her, waiting for tomorrow to begin. This was going to be great! Maybe he should call Ignium and the others as well? No, that wouldn't be a smart call. After all, as Beel said…
Swimsuits...
Jaune slept little during the night of Christmas eve. Why? Because he was thinking about his family. This was his first Christmas away from them, and even though he saw them not long ago he still felt their lack of presence. It hurt a bit, but then he remembered the girls and how they slowly became his new family. He got used to them, survived, trained...He really thought of them as his family at this point. Stange, considering the implications of having a Harem. They were, as much as it embarrassed him to admit it, his wives. Even poor Azazel.
He got from his bed when the morning started to break, around 5 AM, and went to freshen up in the bathroom. His hair was undone, so he had to tie it up again. He still couldn't believe how different he looked now compared to almost half a year ago. Especially his hair. Long and blonde, making him tie it in a ponytail every day. He stepped out of the bathroom, getting his clothing on. His clothes got tighter over the months as well, becoming skin-tight at this point and some not even fitting him anymore. He'd have to get new clothing.
Walking down the stairs leading to his room he noticed none of the girls were awake yet, so he decided to sneak off to the backyard, the cold winter air hitting his skin and invigorating him as he stepped out. He looked around, his breath visible in the cold air. Winter was beautiful in its own right. He then looked down, picking up a lump of snow, and began to wash his face with it to help wake him up further, even rubbing it on his neck to help wake him up some more. And it worked, making him shake his head and feel the drowsiness wash away. Today was going to be a busy day.
However, nothing could stop the ensuing party. He looked at the pool, seeing the snow around it melted away. Steam was coming from it. He took his hand and put it inside, measuring the water. Perfect. He smiled, knowing the girls are likely to enjoy it. Heck, they might jump in right away once they see the steam, without him needing to explain it. Does he need to explain it even? They might be aware of this already.
Still, he had to prepare. He went inside the house, then straight to the kitchen, grabbing the ingredients. Morning pancakes were a promised treat for Christmas, so Jaune set to work on preparing the sweet, thin, and cavity-inducing treats. He had to get each girl's presence right. He even made Malina's favorite drink, 'Screwdriver'. Vodka and orange juice with ice is an interesting mix, he was not going to deny it.
Suddenly, he heard a tired yawn entering the kitchen, making him look at the door to see none other than Azazel walking in. She looked a bit surprised seeing him. "Good morning, Jaune! What is up with you so early?" She greeted him and asked, keeping a small, still sleepy smile on her face.
"I got up earlier than usual and decided to make some pancakes. After breakfast, we are opening gifts, then enjoying our Christmas. Day at the pool." He said in one go, flipping a pancake in the air.
"The pool? Isn't it cold outside?" Azazel asked confused, then she noticed his smirk.
"Not if you turn up the heat~" He replied with a singing tone. "I went down in the basement and turned up the boiler to heat up the pool as well. You girls don't need to worry about it being too cold."
"That's nice! I do have a swimsuit I wished to try out since moving here!" Azazel said, then Pandemonica showed up, yawning. "Oh, hello there, Monica!" Azael greeted her as well, but the tired demon only had one thing on her mind.
"Coffee." She said, and Jaune got the message. Luckily, it was already brewing, so he simply served it, making sure it was the right mix, then she drank the mix. Her horns grew out and her grin appeared, the sadistic demon coming into view. "Perfect as always, Jaune. But I find myself asking, why are you up so early?"
"He said he simply woke up early and decided to make breakfast!" Azazel replied.
"I see," Monica replied, taking another sip of her coffee. "I take it you have plans for today?"
"Oh yeah." He replied, finishing the last plate of pancakes for the girls. "And it will a nice, warm, Christmas day"
Nerdy: Sorry for the wait guys. Bloody been busy with school.
*Busy fighting the Doom Slayer to save the Harem* Among other things! *Dodges the Crucible* Fuck! Anyway, sorry for being so slow guys, school and life had been draining me of all my energy lately, hence why Drunk Conquest is also being slow on its update. *Puts up an energy shield to block turret fire* SOMEONE SEND HELP!
