Maou ga Kita. Aftermath 2
Searching for a new pet
What's happening?
The King wants a new buddy apparently.
Oh, great…
Anyway, I don't own any stuff except my great humor. Cough. I don't own anything… Here is a new chapter I wanted to shamelessly share with you. Good read and enjoy.
Story start
Hajime pov
We are in a shop. I was about to help the two young girls before Goldie decided to interrupt us. I answered the phone ultimately leading to this situation. He had so much of his King's aura than the automatic door opened before him.
He entered majestically in this shop before announcing his order with his deep voice… "I want a pet!" he gave this only order for the plebian to follow. I sighed before looking around. Three families are eating calmly at their table.
Five men are seated near the bar and stopped to look in our direction… "Goldie. I told you it was only a restaurant. A lion on the top of the building doesn't mean it will sell lions" yes, this is a family restaurant: 'The Thunder Lion'.
"What? How come? For poor people, the symbol was greatly done. Can't they convert and sell me a pet?" Are you praising them? Are you annoying them? Are you showing off? They are all answered by the same word.
"The pet shop is at the other end of the street, kind sir" a young man had the guts to answer the king with a raised head. He didn't get this right and was about to be eliminated.
"Alright. Thank you and sorry for the rudeness. Have a good meal and day" I moved Goldie outside. He nearly decapitated the man for speaking to him. He really is difficult to contain. The families nodded in thanks, calming their temper against Gilgamesh.
I don't want to have news saying families were massacred in a family restaurant. "Why do you drag me outside? I'll cut your hands off!" he is glaring with his red eyes and gold hairs.
"Sure. Have you heard the concept of faking?"
"Faaakeeer" he interrupted me when I said faking. Maybe he has it for faker people.
"It could help you avoid using your great strength and powers against normal plebeians. Do you want to waste your precious time by educating them? Isn't it best when they don't rebel and take up your time?"
"That seems reasonable. But my mouth can't utter such atrocities. I am at the top, so I need to act like so" he is arguing in his mind about plebeians and authority.
"That's where you fake it. Use true skills in faking, and they won't ever notice you are faking it. What you could attempt is that they think you are faking it. I'll explain. If they know you are faking, they will think you are thinking about their well-being. Like that, you are still the great imperious king"
"You know how to explain it simply. I shall try it at some occasions" he almost stepped on a cat. "Sorry" the cat glared before leaving. "How truly magnificent. He didn't resist and didn't believe it, yet he left. I didn't really apologize, right?"
"I think it is the cat who apologized after you. You see. You didn't apologize, yet people see you tried and won't mind your actions. This technique won't work if you are stealing from people, but…"
""It is not stealing if the world belongs to you""
"Yes, that. Exactly. That's why people will think you are a thief. You need to get it back with as much money. That's why I told you to take accountant and commercial courses. If you can share money, you can get it back with an increase for the total amount"
"I already took these courses. I am still in learning, but everyone thinks there is this weird world bank. Every money is mine that I shared" he tries to be genuine when he replies…
"Unluckily, you are dead for more than seven generations. It means your goods could be inherited by society. I can't let you become a lawyer, nor a politician. You could change laws on a whim, and most laws are useful in society"
"That's why plebeians could overrun the nobles. They even installed laws because they were numerous. Kings have no more ambitions nowadays…"
"Well, I can't fault that judgement, but government and all still need to care for billions of people. I am not into politics, but I don't think you should impose a reign over masses without complains. You could still shut them up with pleasures, but that cost…"
""Money""
"I see why you proposed these courses now. I'll finish them and start my own reign back in Babylon" he is more determined. "But first… let's buy a new pet" he didn't get this idea off. This will be a long day. We arrived at the pet shop. There are cute animals inside.
"I want a pet!" this time, I had to open the door. He was nearly destroying it because it refused his mental command. The workers turned to him, as well as everyone else. "Sorry" some smiled before continuing. "It worked on humans too" he is clapping happily.
"Sorry, can we help you in what you are searching?" he didn't mind this man speaking to him directly since he apologized first. I can tell he will have fun with his ways of apologizing. He was in normal town clothes, so it is slightly better than full armor.
"Yes, you may. I search for a strong beast yet caring and gentle. Is there any Hydra or Cerberus around?" it was a serious question? Are you seriously asking if they have the two beasts slain by Hercules? Can I leave?
"Sorry, we do not have them. You could look at the dog section and the Arachnid one? You may find 'similar' creatures" it was a professional business man. He knows his turf and the veins of the job. He even mixed a mathematical definition to not lie.
Gilgamesh jumped at the Arachnid word since it is a skill I used on him in our fight. He was already preparing to fight before I interrupted. "Thank you. We'll get to see it. Is there a more… exotic section in this shop?"
"I am sorry, but we try to stay local about it. We have a catalogue with species classified by regions of the world. There are the classified species at the end of it" he presented a buyable book to us.
"Thanks, I'll buy it" I gave him the exact money before getting near Gilgamesh. He has a puppy in his arms. He let it drop into the box, so I caught it on reflex. The dog seems grateful, as well as the woman watching over them.
"That's not as brutal as a Cerberus. It couldn't even bite my finger" he is pondering attentively for that matter.
"You asked for a tame one, right? They are all tame. Problem is that you shouldn't train it as dangerous. They are easy to catch and kill if you force them to become violent" he moved to the spider section and looked in each of the eyes of the first.
"Splendid reaction time and brutal looking, but they are too small. I could step on them in combat. You taught me that as much as someone watch in a direction, he will always have a blind spot" where did that come from? Oh, when I bombard him with my shooting skills.
"If you say so. Then, let's open the book. You still want a pet, right?"
"Absolutely. I miss my dear Leo. He was my lion pet near my throne" I ignored this and opened the book in the Asia continent. I turned page to the mammal section. We waved goodbye to the customers and workers.
"That's annoying to read it. Let's have a hunt. Our objective is to catch a great pet" I still kept it and took the Skyboard out. We went into a desert area by teleporting before moving towards Asia main lands. I refracted light around us, so we are invisible.
I don't want the ever-annoying clock-tower on my ass, literally. This Barthomeloi Lorelei is the one in charge of my possible punishments. Since she doesn't want to kill me because of the troubles, she is using my four legs position as a chair.
I don't want to kill her either, so I accepted the hourly torture treatment. This woman has incredible powers, that much is sure. I learned a bit about her during the sessions. Now, I am like a best buddy which I hunt Dead Apostles with. She hates their gut profoundly, except me since I am not really one.
"Look at this! I could see some back then. Invaders would come on their back. They were slow but powerful. This grey skin with white little defenses remind me of your clothes and hairs" I am a bit vexed. Luckily, I don't have these grey clothes on me.
"They are mostly under the food chain. They are herbivore and are hunted by lions and tigers. Humans also domesticated them" I read the book informing this pokem- this animal was the Oliphant of Asia.
"That isn't a very attractive description. I won't have my beast eaten when I turn my back…"
"Alright, let's travel a bit more…" we fell on some creatures, but nothing got out from this hunt. We finally met some felines. I used the compass to point at the creatures inside the book. An Asian lion appeared. He growled menacingly.
"He could do, but I don't think he is a proud lion. He hasn't a golden mane to get along with my divine blood. Moreover, isn't he a bit lame? You know, I want a wilder, like 'Fouah' in his hairs" he mimicked an impressive mane with his hairs.
"It is telling us that this specie is nearly extinct. We should probably let it be since it doesn't correspond to what you are searching. Should we go to the African continent? There are lions like you want them" the lion charged at us.
I took his jaws and overthrew him. "Oh? I got just the right idea. It was getting rust in my treasury, so I'll assist you. Luc**io, I choose you!" he threw a certain ball who is certainly not the ball I am thinking. "Use Aur* Sph*re" it is not this kind of fight. It is not this kind of-
"For Christ, Maria, Cthulhu and Root's sake! What are you getting out like it is normal! And you, argh! Don't kill this poor lion, alright?" the Lucar** nodded before using his attack. A blue ball appeared in front of this bipedal combat wolf.
He launched the ball, Sain* S**ya style at the lion. A message appeared under us, saying 'Wild Lion is KO. You received seventy Xp'. "What? Only seventy? At least Luca*** levelled up. Oh? Do you want to learn Dragon Pul**?"
"Lucario!"
"That's my boy for you. Here, a new Dragon ***** just for you. I hope you will use it with care in my service" the poor lion is fainted on the ground. I rushed to it and patted the head gently. "Let's go in Africa" he made two Poke*** appear. "Lat*os, Lat*as. Use fly"
"I don't want to hear anymore of this madness… Are we still searching a pet? Are we going to conquer the world's strongest?" I sighed after getting on the Lat*as. The red beast kyuued before flying off. It is sensing my thought and avoiding animals at the same time.
"Do you want one for the hunting trip? We could make a good team and fight off any creature" he is speaking calmly from the blue beast's back. "I caught them all. Now, pick one from this Poke*** and I'll give it to you" he really is annoying and funny at the same time.
"Gimme the Jolteon please" I gave up and picked one. He searched around and dropped one in my hand while we are flying. "Thank you"
"I see you are in the speed type… That's fine, and it suits you just fine. I mean, you are using lighting sometimes. Maybe you can feed him" that's an experiment I am sure to accomplish. We landed in Africa, and he called back the Latias I am patting.
"Let's see… there are only preys around. Antelopes and Zebra eating peacefully. I hope humans won't discover what we are doing after noticing a Zebra fainting in the wilderness…" why am I saying that? Obviously because Gilgamesh is launching his ball on the ground. "Jolteon, I choose you"
"Jolt!" he is a cute yellow sparky looking monster. He is intrigued since I am the one launching him.
"Alright, Jolteon. Assist me, and I'll feed you wonderful lighting"
"Jolt! Jolt!" he jumped quickly in the air. Before taking place.
"Garch**p, I choose you!" he got a bipedal shark like dragon out of his ball. It was blue in the exterior part of the scale and red on his torso with yellow on his belly. "Garcho**, use Dragon Cl**"
"Jolteon, follow up with a lighting attack" the other zebra charged at us after halving his damage bar. "Evade it and use Shadow b**" my Jolteon jumped in the air to evade and launch a black ball at the zebra.
"Garcho**, use Dig" the creature disappeared in the ground and dug out under the Zebra after a Thunder wave from my Jolteon. His creature should be immune to it. "Return now" he took back his monster.
"Come on my shoulder, Jolteon. I only have you, so you should stay out. I'll feed you" said monster rushed to my face and rested on my shoulder. I fed it with my Lighting Clad. "Is it good?" I patted his head quietly.
"Kyuu!" she fixed herself on the area producing lighting. I have a living Jolteon scarf now. He is even staying in place due to the static energy and all. I moved near the Zebra and ensured he was still alive. I could see a group of Antelopes waiting in a bush…
I mean… well… You are sticking out… I am sure even animals are trying to follow the vibe, but… I couldn't get to call out to them that Gilgamesh rushed in the bush where they are. It's becoming more high-spec by the minute.
"Luc**io, I chose you" he made the wolf appear one more time. "Use Close Comb**"
"Jolteon, use Thunderbolt on the hit one. Next, use thunderbolt after evading the charge" he followed the orders after getting off my shoulders. The last antelope is nearly KO too. Lucario shot a last sphere to defeat it.
Other animals flew off, so we had to search for a time. I took back Jolteon in my arms to feed her and pat her head. She was just so cute. "So, where are the Predators? I just remembered why we were doing this", thanks, Goldie. I didn't forget.
"Happy to have you back. Now, there should be Hyenas around… Do they please you? They are wild and dangerous. Maybe you can find a cute breed?"
"I ain't choosing any hyena because they are cute. They have a standard to meet. Oh? A wild one appeared. I won't have anyone if they all look this" I looked at the profile and despaired a bit more. He beat this one too before I took him to the next beast.
"Alright. How about a big one? Don't you want to travel on the head or the back of this giraffe?" I presented him a drinking mammal near the river. It's much stranger when you see one bending to drink than in documentaries…
"It seems a bit too tame and not dangerous. It may crush you, but that's about it" he is really difficult.
"Should we only try the feline? I can't see any other mammal dangerous other way. Maybe the hippo could help you. Else, I can envision crocodile"
"What are these two you are talking about? This crocodile seems interesting at least" he thought about it for a bit before we went to a crocodile. "Agh, no! It looks like a snake, only bigger, with legs and more teeth!" it seems he has a bit of a trauma here.
"Alright, I should have known you wouldn't accept. Look over here, it's the hippo. They may seem weak, but you don't want to get caught in these jaws. They have an immense power, even with animal's standard" he looked interested when the croc was crushed in the jaws.
I felt a bit pity for the crocodile… he shrugged and inspected it. "Not enough gold or impressive appearance" I zapped the water with Jolteon. "Let's look for felines" he is a bit annoyed, so I brought him in the lion's den.
"This is their headquarters. I suggest we either get in the air or prepare to fight. I don't think we can fight them all off with normal means"
"Then, let me inspect them when we are fighting them" he went around, batting off any nail's attack and bites from lions. The lionesses were preparing to defend their grass too. I can see their arching back, circling us to protect the children.
"Do you find anything good? Because I don't think they will wait that much. Moreover, we can't kill them" I am being a bit annoyed. It can be considered bullying to fight them off, but I won't die from a nasty bite. One of the lions jumped on me.
I intercepted him and threw him over my shoulder. He landed on his pawns before charging again. I attempted the same move, but he evades, and his tail strikes me. Did he just-? I palmed him when Jolteon launched a thunderbolt from my shoulders.
I took care of three more lions before female attacked me too. Gilgamesh is touching lions on the ground and analyzing their presences by posing as a king before them. I sweat-dropped and took care of a lioness by palming her.
She couldn't get up despite her efforts. She is trying so hard that I am feeling pity. She has these charming eyes too. Could these animals use mental debuff attacks? I immobilized the other lioness when I can see the first one is smirking.
The young lions were near the mother. I know that I can't pat them since they wouldn't be recognized as great lions anymore. I pat Jolteon in attempt to soother my nerves. I went past the lioness and joined Gilgamesh looking serious.
"They were perfect physically, but they still lack two great things… to follow the King and to have Divine presence" why are you saying this with such conviction after killing the divinities in your time?
"That's great, but what do you expect to find with divine powers? Oh, no, never mind. Apparently, some divine beasts from myths survived the end of gold age. I met gorgons, Charybdis and Scylla myself. How about we try to follow other monsters' trails?"
"That's a great idea! Maybe we could hunt down the boar of calamity ravaging lands in passing. I also want to find the Hydra and Cerberus" we took each a flying object and rushed in Greece. Arriving here, I searched for a damaged corps.
We found one, but that was done by brats we beat for the troubles. We had to search four more corps before finding semblance of a trail. It was a one-meter boar footprint. We followed it in the quiet forest. Gilgamesh decided to equip a hunter old style armor.
It was glowing green on certain areas. He has a helmet covering his jaws and his forehead. His torso has a green glowing core with spiky shoulders parts. His waist consists of multiples bands relied by a green line. His legs have talons on the foot. The general color was a deep blue.
He took his blue bow from his back and assembled it in a swift movement. Arrows appeared on his quiver like magic. Well, never mind… "Would you join me on this hunt?" he put an armor o the ground.
It was a purple color with a king like appearance. There is a crown for the head, a cape behind a muscle like torso, a waist part to hang a weapon, claws with arm guards and legs finely drawn. I put it on my body before looking at him. He is giving me a nice purple big-ass sword.
I am supposed to use it with two hands, right? Else, I'll slash myself when trying to attack. It has an orange handle with a sun like decoration. The blade degraded from purple to orange. "Thank you. This is strange to have an armor, but it is adjusting around my body".
"That set will sharpen the blade and increase its explosion power. This blade can use explosion after a certain amount of damages. I'll use this set to explode the target from distance. People tend to forget, but I am an Archer class"
"Right, you are hella strong close quarters, so I can understand if they forget. I don't know what world you ripped off, but we should run. The beast won't stay an hour in the area"
"I didn't rip this off since-"
""They were mine to begin with""
"See? You understand it" we rushed around the place, but the boar is moving in other areas. We finally found it after a while. It is calmly eating a tree high from his three meters. He noticed us and roared before charging.
We evade it before charging attacks. He could charge his bow one to five times and change properties of his shots. He threw a piercing arrow that damaged the mane as well as putting explosive liquid over the monster.
I jumped with my blade in two hands before descending on him. I got a chance to explode the power each time I touch it with my blade. I push the blade from its side and followed my descent with a blunt attack. Finally, I take it back behind my shoulder with two arms and charge three times.
In a final glow of power, I attack with an overhead strike. The beast roared when it received the attack. It concentrated on me and attempted a charge. I avoid immediately to the side before using the momentum and slash by turning on myself.
It explodes the powder on the monster. It rushed at Gilgamesh who avoided and charged his weapon at the same time. He used his bow after stopping. I went in front of him and parried the next charge of the beast. Goldie could use his arrows over my shoulder.
He changed it to series of horizontal arrows. It's what happens when he charges this bow two times, the arrow divides equally in five arrows with lesser power. I thought about it, but can't I attack after jumping over his body?
I tried my theory and true enough, I can jump over him while charging the blade. Just after ascending, the blade is charged, so I attack the beast. It deals great damage and I was still in mid-air. I used the opportunity to jump on his back.
Following a wild rodeo session, I managed to bring it down by punching it. It was trying to get up, so we attacked with great power. Gilgamesh was charging a powerful arrow on his bow, and I am charging my blade to attack it.
I trailed it off on the ground before rushing at his head and launch the blade upwards. I caught it in mid-air to follow up with a descending strike. It destroyed the earth below the monster who didn't have his neck cut. Damn it.
We struck it a bit more before it went up and rushed off. We pursued him and caught up when he tried to eat. He couldn't notice us, so I prepared another powerful strike. I charged the blade, and luminous light appeared from the tip.
Like a Balmung strike, it descends on the monster who have to step back from the force behind it. Gilgamesh used an arrow who exploded in fine powder near us. I feel as light as a feather, so I rushed at the monster and hacked its body.
It managed to land a hit on me, and I was sent flying. I crash on the ground before getting up. I rush while taking a strange yellow rock that Gilgamesh told me would sharpen my blade. My attacks couldn't be deviated, he said.
That doesn't include the lessening damage I am doing. After repeating the process of attacking it and running, it was nearly on its last leg. It activated a kind of berserk state where it ignores most damage to kill us.
It was its last stand. I tried to parry, but the recoil was stronger than anticipated. My arms were numb, but I force them to move and slash the monster. I activate the abilities again. With Gilgamesh's last powerful arrow, it died in an explosion.
His body was fine, so I move to take food and stuff from it. After a bit of time, it disappeared in a glow. I kept his armor on since we still have a monster to hunt. He took out a bronze one with a helmet around his face.
"I'll take this armor to counter poison from the Hydra. Yours has poison tolerance from the talisman you put on. Let's continue"
"I hope I'll keep my two eyes and not nearly die to protect you, Goldie"
"As if" he snorted at my previous experience with a Hydra. It's not really me, but I got the memories, pain and feelings to have fought it. This one won't probably have ten heads, right? I arrived and glared at the hydra like it grew a new head.
"Why has he got a hundred head already? Isn't it supposed to grow them when we cut them? Can't we burn the scar and avoid the head from growing back? Can't we summon Heracles already?" I despaired. I almost died from ten head.
It hasn't hundred different power. It hasn't absolutely hundred different powers! "I don't know. Maybe it can't grow more than hundred heads. Let's take care of this one quickly. I don't like him either" he prepared his bow. At least he has a safe position. He can shoot fire arrows now.
I still have this big-ass weapon. I changed for Balmung since I will probably have to evade very fast. Really. Fast. I evade a bite, and I need to evade another. It's like a Gatling bite. Not proud of my joke, I continue to evade while attacking. I moved so fast that the ground is breaking.
I need to construct it each time I am moving. Moreover, I'll need to slash each head at the same time… Gilgamesh is damaging each head in turn since he also guessed it. I am lucky I can't feel the poison nor be subject to its effects.
After what seems like an hour, being only three hours…, we finally are at the point I can kill him. I put the blade in front of me and activated my Supreme Break only for an instant. I lessened my strength in favor of speed. That way, I could make a hundred weak slashes on each neck. "Arachnid!"
Weak would be underestimation. It is a weak attack from a legendary treasure with Supreme Break skill activated. It would be at least five time stronger than a normal weak attack from a legendary A-rank treasure.
I disabled my Supreme Break and swat off the recoil from the skill. It is only middle extreme pain. The monster died, decapitated hundred time in one go. "Still as nasty as ever. You can nearly accomplish anything, right?" Goldie arrived next to me.
"Nearly… Except finding you a pet, apparently"
"Don't worry, we'll find. Next is the Cerberus. I can't wait"
"Isn't it dangerous if he really guards hell's door? Don't we want him to stay alive?" I collect this stupid hundred head monster's meat and scales. I would also use poison now.
"I am sure we can tame it like Heracles did. Let's put red and green clothes for the trip" we put plumber clothes with hats. I am Lui** and he is Mar**. "Red is the leader's color after all" I don't really want to continue like this…
We got to jump on turtles and clouds near the cavern's entrance. I didn't want to pass through everyone and see faces I knew, so I went on top of the ground where Cerberus could be. I stepped back three meters and get a rotating spear out. I pierced every floor before stopping.
The ceiling formed back as I land with Gilgamesh. Oh. Wrong door. I moved to open it before being tackled to the ground. I grunted before looking up. A young woman with long light brown hair was on my chest. She has black strands of hairs on her great chest.
How can I tell this is the wrong room? Well, she is inside a cell, not guarding it. Moreover, she has divine existence skill since she tackled me instantly. Goldie is looking amused at this. He neither moves neither prepares. He prefers to stay on guard for the dog.
"Why am I being assaulted by a young beautiful woman in Hell again?"
"Because you always find these opportunities. Even when we are searching a pet"
"Oh, thanks. I tend to forget we are searching legends for a magical pet. How silly of me. Now, stranger, which goddess am I leering at? Do I need to fear Divine Punishment?" technically, she is the one forcing me by clinging my body.
"It has been month since I've been brought here. Let me cling to a whatever other male you are. You seem pretty powerful for a human. For some reasons, I can't analyze you. I know of a way to bypass it, but I need to know if you can get me out of here forever"
"You have to be more precise than this. I can't help you if you don't tell me the problem. I can guess it, but I might be mistaken" I mean, she could be a titan or something else, right? I can't have them escape on me, right?
"Lies. He can do anything. Except bringing me a pet. I am Gilgamesh, remember it." He is looking haughtily and moves to the door that he destroys. "I shall look for the Dog while you are with this goddess. Don't die; I put my trust in you" I appreciate the feelings.
I tried to analyze her, but she is rejecting me. She is not doing it on purpose. It's just that she is everything in her concept at the same time. It would be like to know the name of each plants and vegetables you are growing. I can tell she is linked to it; that's about all.
"Great! Even the infamous Gilgamesh is giving you a thumb up. You are quite something. I am Persephone, I am sure you know the legend, right?" she is puffing her chest while straddling me. That's slightly disturbing that she won't move.
We are still in a cavern looking place. There are drawing of Tic-Tac-Toe on the ground. Next to numerous mark counting the days in western style… "The one who was closed in here for months because she ate a pomegranate, right?"
She is sobbing before crying in my chest. "That's… that's… I was only hungry and didn't know this fruit would force me to be here! I hadn't heard about this fruit before coming on mortal plane! Sob… I investigated, but next thing I know is that I tasted it!"
What a pain… "Alright. You didn't know. You had a bad experience, right? How about telling me a bit more about the fruit. I can't see the point of bringing you here if the fruit was only growing in hell. The fact it was on earth and we discovered them in Persia, or Iran, proves the opposite"
"I know it! He just wouldn't hear it and kept me in here. Moreover… I … I can't bear to kill the poor dog that guards the entrance! I love dogs, you know… This ******* had the guts to close the place and put a guard dog with three heads" she cursed before listening to fighting sound.
Gilgamesh has found this dog, so I don't think it will be harmful. "Please, you can ramble and discuss as much as you wish while I am working but tell me about the fruit in itself". Only faking sob won't cut it with me.
"Right. The fruit was like any other fruit, except it has a binding function to hell. He feeds some to the prisoner to keep them in this pit. Please, you have to suppress this binding function" she is looking desperate. It's only obvious when you symbolize corps and purity.
"I can do something… but"
"What is it?"
"Your divine defenses are in the way. I can't bypass them easily form the exterior" I think she misunderstood me, because she took off her toga.
"Are you talking about them? To call them divine defenses, that's a first…" she is groping her breasts to show off.
"That's because I wasn't talking about them… Why are you still undressing me? You don't have to do that much" she is seriously taking off my pant and opening my clothes…
"I thought you wanted this… what was it called again? It is used to bypass defense and inject your power inside the target" she is thinking about it before mounting me.
"Only a kiss would do. I only need contact with the interior of your body. I could use my hands in your mouth, but I find this a bit weird… Now, I can feel your want, but aren't you immortalizing purity?"
"Not when I am in Hell. My temporal leave destroys corps and all, so it is the only time I don't symbolize purity. Ouch. Even the old goat doesn't know about it. The fool. Thinking I am princess Dai** and waiting in his castle. Goddess Me. You are pretty good"
"Hmm, thank you. I don't know whether Gilgamesh is a genius to follow references or if it is a coincidence I was disguised as Lui**. Are you sure about this? Well, you won't take it back now, probably"
"I am enjoying too much to hear you. If you could erase any influence while I am playing, I would be more appreciative. I hope you won't mind if I put a blessing or two myself" she refuses all answers by kissing me. You could have done this from the start!
What am I supposed to tell people when I go back? 'Oh, listen. I went on this trip with Goldie. At the end, I found a goddess who refused to kiss me and went directly to rape me'? Anyway, I found the fruit in her body. It was slowly taking root, the fool. I erased them from her soul.
She felt it strongly because she clamped on me. I had to wait a bit before working on the fruit. I grasped it with soul power before compressing it. I moved it in her stomach before getting it out from her ass. Can gods go to the toilets?
On that question, I concentrate on her soul again. Now that the fruit has left, I only need to suppress any link to Hell. I found it deeply hidden inside her mind and destroyed it. She clamped again and siphoned a bit of my soul inside her.
I am lucky I can regrow soul parts with sublimation and regrowth conceptual magic. She put it in her missing parts before it adjusted itself to her soul. I am impressive, am I not? It's not me anymore, but I am integrated in her soul.
It's not like she could summon me or something, right? She sensed my thought and kissed me again. This time, I received some part of her soul. Oh, I don't even need to replace them. The problem is that I won't be able to modify it to suit my need.
It granted me an ability to grow corps easily. I will need to mind where I pee from now on… and where I walk… and where I breathe… damn. As a bonus, she put a concept of home's warmth in me. People I know well would seek this warmth.
She stopped her attempts and straddled me after arching her back. She put her toga back and closed my shirt when I put my pant. I don't think I'll tell anyone about this episode of my life. It wasn't bad, but I can tell why people think god can be whimsical.
I rested a bit, seated on the ground. Gilgamesh came back with a three-headed dog… Wasn't it slightly… little? I was waiting for a massive hound capable of breaking head and souls, but he is licking his hand calmly.
"It was good sport. He is a great hound and partner, but I need more gold. I wanted to try other kind of animals, but there is only one left for me to take… a powerful beast not equaled by any other. One of the first work of Heracles. The Nemean Lion" he took a pose with his foot on the hell dog.
"Great, another monster we can't beat with projectile… We'll need to tame it with mental attack or brute force. Since I don't want him, you will need brute strength" Persephone is looking incredulously at us for even discussing about it.
"Wait! You will take on this beast? Isn't it dangerous? Wawawaaa What will I do? My champion is getting himself killed" I sighed at her antics.
"Stop playing drama piece already. You know I am more powerful than I look. How should we leave the place unnoticed?"
"We could beat Charon and give this dog back to his master. Come on, Cerberus, go back to the master of this Hell. He will give you back your majestic appearance" the dog rushed off, leaving only a trail of dust. We walked out and launched bouncing fireballs at enemies.
With Persephone annoying princess play, we arrived at the boat where Charon is waiting. "You aren't resident if Hell… What can I do for you?" he has this old voice, but I think he is doing it on purpose.
"You can give us a ride. I'll throw a gold bar for you" Goldie really threw a gold bar to the man whose eyes shine… money is everything, even in hell.
"Come, keep your hands in the boat and don't fall off. This river will kill you if you are thrown completely in" I can see Gilgamesh smiling shrewdly. I don't want to know what he will do. I know what he did when I got out of the water drenched…
"Careful, Hajime. You will die if you are immerged in it" he is laughing at me. I pushed him, but he hovered in the air. "You won't have me that way!" this man is sending water to me. I can't avoid since Persephone mustn't be hit.
"Damn it, Goldie. Stop arousing me. Oh, that came out wrong… Stop sending possible lethal water to me!"
"Sorry. You won't die from it. Moreover, you can't be affected by it since your soul is protected against it. It will add a bit protective power for your body. Aren't you thanking me?"
"Thank you, greatness. Could you now do me a favor and stop playing around? Your not loyal and not servant would accept it with great feelings"
"I may stop because you asked nicely. Apologizing power knows no bound. I can even immerge people in Styx river without being blamed" you are blamed! Damn. "Old man, how is your business doing in these parts?"
Now, you speak business? Now of all times? "Oh, there was an increase recently. I wonder why more people would die in these times. Is it that bad on the surface?" And you answer him normally?! "Thought, traditions seem to have disappeared, so we accept credit card payment too"
Why is hell evolving like society?! "Apparently, everything can be gained and lost by money. There are so much humans compared to the old times. It's no wonder lots are dying either"
"So that was the problem. Young ones sure are wild" he looked at Persephone and me.
"Yes, especially this one. I wonder why he still hasn't any children and grandchildren. He is working fast after all" why are you also judging me, Gilgamesh? Are you having an old men conversation on this boat.
"I noticed. I was really surprised when I saw the new Queen with you. I mean former queen since you are taking her out" he corrected when said woman was glaring at him. We sat in the middle, and she hung her arm on mine.
"Yes, she is more of a side quest since I still search for a great pet. I saw Cerberus, but he isn't as Gold as I want my pet to be"
"Ooh, I see. I would propose the dragon keeping the golden fleece, but it isn't gold nor practical. The Nemean Lion is still in a cavern, waiting to be tamed. It was strange when it appeared again. I mean, he was killed by Heracles, but the fact he entered the throne voids his exploits in this universe"
"Wow, you know a lot… How come you know about universe and the throne of heroes?" I intervened before they had their stupid conversation. They each looked at me like it was obvious.
"What do you mean? We are the manifestation of concepts in all universe. We are aware of each universe we are in. Anyway, be careful, he is strong, even against gods" thanks, Charon. If only you could stop annoying me, you would be a great friend.
Well, friends annoy each other, right? We went out of the cavern and Persephone jumped up in delight. "Being free is nice! Nagumo!" she got my name from my soul. She closed on me and kissed before leaving in the sky. "You'll hear from me next winter!" great…
The two men are smirking at me saying 'young ones', 'hmm, young ones'. Damn geezers. We waved at Charon in the distance, changing back to normal clothes. He had the last idea to change in his divine appearance to confront the lion.
"I won't have him think lightly of me. I want him to judge me as a worthy king" that's your excuse for going all out on the beast. Well, they said to be careful about the lion. I can feel the eye of Persephone on me. Another person joined her, thought.
I felt a breeze pass in my body, like I am hunted by a lusty female. I shrugged it when I saw the lion get out of the cavern. At least, it is human sized. He has a golden fur and a wild mane. Gilgamesh is smiling at it. "Come on, Lion. I will make you follow me"
Said Lion roared after snorting. "I won't assist you…" I moved to the side and made a watching bench. I couldn't even notice the young woman who took a place beside me. She has pink lovely eyes with long red hairs. That was strange, but her face is cute.
She seems to ignore my gaze going lower and feeds on my lust. I concentrated back to the fight. They are gazing each other from a distance. My punition for ignoring the woman was to have my hand captured. I wonder who she is and why I am being attracted sensually.
Gilgamesh rushed at the beast with his fist enhanced. It was met by the creature's pawn attack. Is it going bipedal? Is it really throwing punch like a normal boxer? All their punch created a vibration in my body. It creates a kind of sound bomb resounding in the area.
Ah, no, it was the woman who is trembling after playing with my hand. I invoked my supreme ignorance skill and followed their movements. They are blurring out and appearing before attacking. I activated Divine Step skill unconsciously and managed to follow everything.
It was inspiring and powerful. I was like a child in front of a movie, moving my hands and fingers in delight. With divine step, my hands would be a blur anyway. They stopped and took out weapons. The lion took out his long claws while Gilgamesh took out two treasures.
The woman moved to my laps after panting a bit on the ground. She ignored when I put her head to the side of mine. I have a match to follow, after all. They met strikes at high-speed. The lion had lots of fluid movements intercepted by speed and strength from Goldie.
Much like at a football match, I shot up in a rush when one landed a hit on the other. I went back in place after seeing it wasn't concluded. In minutes, they are still going on. The Lion received slash of great strength on his mane.
It may not pierce his skin, but it can damage internally. Gilgamesh was often healing his wound but suffer internal damages. My vision was blocked by the woman kissing me deeply. I ignored her as of this moment, but she is a bit of a mess right now.
I took out a drone and connected my vision to it. I could look at the fight again. It seems they will soon reach a stalemate. The lion is powering himself with golden light, still on his two hind legs. Gilgamesh is using the same light to power up.
The nails attack are breaking boulders and the cavern behind. The slash meeting each attack is breaking concrete and ground. Soon, there isn't any more object to break, so they broke the air and crater they made… I returned in my body and noticed the woman finished.
She is now beside me again, adjusting her clothes and brushing her lips. I can see they stopped fighting. Each is in bad shape and go for the last attack. Gilgamesh dropped his blades, and the lion took back his nails.
They put every power left in them before rushing at each other. Two golden hue brighten the sky before calming down. The Lion drop on the ground first. Gilgamesh drop in a sitting position before patting his mane.
"So, how about you finally become my pet?"
"I won't be any pet. I am a companion, a partner. You managed to beat me without relying on any cheat. You have my respect" the lion talked! The lion ******* talked!
"I got only two partners in my life. Three if you count the man watching us"
"Then, let me meet these expectations by proving myself and following you. What about the woman?"
"Think of her as his side effect. You won't understand, yet it happens anyway. Anyway, you should be known as Leo The Imperious Second. That is a reference to your predecessor. Come on, Hajime will heal you up before we leave"
I moved with the woman to the pair and healed them. "So, why Aphrodite is also wanting a piece of me?" said woman simply smiled at my question.
"I wanted to know why Persephone would watch over you. I feel very lusty nowadays, so I had you relieve it. Since you let your mind wander, I felt the need to give a benediction too. I happily tested it myself. Gods won't annoy you more than necessary from now on, and I can relieve myself with you"
"That would be a relief. I don't want whatever to come to me. Next time won't go as easy. Don't forget there are people who can still extinct you… No matter why you decided to come out now" She continued to smile before waving.
"I'll heed back. I heard about the winter visit. I'll wait for you" great… now, the whole pantheon would know about such visit. I'll cross this bridge when it comes to it. She disappeared in light. I finished to heal the two fighters who are smirking at me.
Apparently, lions can smirk too. "So? Are you pleased with your new addition?"
"Yes, you really can do anything, can't you?"
"Well, I am searching, but I just completed this whim for you. I still can't resist my cute girls' gazes. Do you need me to drop you back in Japan? You still need the required papers to keep him, right?"
"Damn Plebeians! I can't even keep a magical pet into wilderness because of them…"
"I am sure you can take him where people won't go, like in forest or savanna. You need to keep him in your manor or castle in the city thought. I'll drop the paper at your home"
"Oh, Thank you. Keep the Jolteon for your services. He seems pretty attached to you last time I saw it. You can also have the equipment I gave you for the Hydra and Boar. I can sense you will use them accordingly" wow, that's a great payment.
"Jolt!" I put Jolteon out of his ball and fixed him on my shoulders before teleporting us back in his manor.
"Alright, I'll heed back. Be careful, there are pseudo-alter servants in wilderness… I think some kind of new type grail war is happening. I know you won't be easily absorbed, but let me worry a bit"
"I'll heed that advice and call you in case of troubles. Take care, my friend" he is so sweet. Now, I heeded back to our own house back in Germany… I walked and produced a trail of flower in the garden. I was sensed by the resident who came to greet me.
They saw me on the ground on my knees and hands. They didn't look at me long since they noticed the flowers around me. "I only searched a pet… yet… why am I acting like fertilizer?" a hand was put on my shoulder. I looked at Artoria feeling sympathy for my position.
I hugged her and sobbed a bit. That put her on edge and she didn't know what to think of the action. I dragged her home and prepared for the new adventure but…
"Alright… I can see a young girl with black hair in the laps of the red-head I convinced to be a normal hero. The only problem would be he is older than I remember. Moreover, there is a dark Illya molesting the real one. Why are there two other strangers here? Sakura, could you explain?"
"""""Hello"""""
"Evil people want this girl. Sticks used to fight off servant to put into card. They helped" I took her in my arms and hugged her.
"That's my girl. You managed to explain in less than twenty words! I'll take you on a trip next time!"
"Yes! Can we do haunted houses?"
"Whatever you want. We'll even capture ghosts for you" we were interrupted by the red-head man.
"Hello, I am Emiya, and I think we aren't in the right universe. That much is sure. After all, there is a healthy young Sakura right in your arms. Mine died before I snapped… Moreover, you have a monster on your shoulders, and I don't remember you…"
"Hajime Nagumo. Well, I saved you and your parents when I stopped the grail from corrupting everything. Also, I got her from Goldie. Say hello, Jolteon"
"Jolt!"
"See, she is so cute. Come on, Sakura. Let me torture the two sticks one more time…"
"Really not the same universe" he sighed before patting the young black-haired girl. The two sticks were trying to escape silently before being spotted. They had an exclamation mark before surrendering.
Author's note:
Here is the second chapter done. I don't own any stories I so kindly ripped off. I wanted a story with Gilgamesh and thought: 'If he has any treasure, can't he have pokeball too?'. Then I asked: 'Can he have Monster Hunter stuff too?'. Next, I was like 'Who already travelled in volcanic area and beat a guard'. I thought about Kid Icarus too, but less vein to exploit. Finally, I wandered 'Can't we have a match like in mortal combat?'. If you ever want to read this part again, put a good Mortal Combat ost with a fatality for the end. Anyway, I'll do a fast story about the fate/kaleid verse in the next chapter. After it would be more parody and fooling around.
