Chapter 30: Romance and Results

It was currently breakfast time at the White House.

While normally it was a fairly average affair, even in the world's most important house, today's breakfast was certainly different.

For today Alesia the Titania was sitting in the White House dining room. Eating alongside the President as well as some members of his cabinet. This was new to the Titania, not breakfast of course, but breakfast with the president. As of late she had been spending more and more time with Michael, both at official events and times like this. The media as of late had been speculating that the pair were dating. While currently untrue Alesia couldn't deny the light tugs on her heart that Michael was causing, not could she deny that they were growing stronger by the day.

Meanwhile across the fancy table, Michael was also beginning to feel something. He couldn't deny that he was beginning to love Alesia, he couldn't imagine that a almost a year ago, he would meet his new crush. She wasn't even Human for Christ sakes. But unfortunately his beginning love for her wasn't on the front end of his chain of thoughts.

Relations between Mamono and Humans on Earth were improving. However massive challenges and issues were emerging however. For one, almost all monsters were still pledging their loyalty to the Demon Lord. While they were willing to cooperate with Earth's governments, they ultimately were still focused on trying to push their leader's goal. This has led to violence as the more devoted Mamono have tried to enforce their leader's will and anti-Mamono groups fighting back.

Other problems such as the larger and aggressive Mamono were also an issue. Just a few days before in Argentina an Ushi Oni had smashed through several shops and cars just to get to her "lover". She was ultimately killed by police, only after she had injured several dozen people and caused millions in damages. There was talk all around the world now about setting up Mamono task forces to deal with rampaging Mamono.

Then there was the rise of Mamono supremacy groups. These were mostly former Earth Humans who perceived the Mamono and their Incubus husbands as the next step for Humanities evolution. They were a very small group but were gaining infamy for attacks on Humans. Mostly in the third world.

And Human violence against Mamono was also a problem. You can't set up a path to peace if people are constantly tearing up the path.

Not all was doom and gloom however. As the Earth's new visitors began to learn about it's history, they also began to learn about Humanities challenges then and now. One thing that was universal in Mamono culture was their disgust at Human suffering. Many international organizations such as the Red Cross had reported a spike in membership as Mamono were willing to join up to help those around the world.

Michael sighed and focused on the woman across from him. Alesia has been a constant presence for a couple of months now. And he couldn't help but think about his growing feelings for the Titania. But he was afraid, afraid of what she might think. Not only her but the nation as a whole. The President dating a woman who wasn't even Human!

Michael shook his head and returned to his meal. Unaware of what Alesia was thinking just across from him.

I love him. Alesia thought to herself as she ate her breakfast. She couldn't deny it, however she was no Mamono. She wouldn't just jump across the table and start having her way with him. No she wanted to do this the old fashioned way. Building up a relationship rather than tricking his mind into loving her.

The eventually finished breakfast and Michael went along with his guards to his daily briefing. Alesia meanwhile decided to go out to the White House lawn to relax.

Michael entered the Oval Office. His secretaries of Defense, State, Agriculture, Housing and Urban Development and the Surgeon General were waiting for him.

"Alright ladies and gentlemen, what's up for today's topics." Michael said as he sat down.

The Secretary of Defence approached first.

"Sir NATO is concerned about both our mission to the Mamono homeworld and the reports on both aggressive land Mamono as well as the aquatic Mamono's raids on both civilian and trade ships. There is a concern that they may eventually attack our military ships and that our submarines may be in critical danger. There is the possibility that Russia, China and even North Korea may even hire Mamono to attack our ships and weaken our navies."

The Secretary of State approached next.

"Our relations with the Mamono are growing stronger. However we still have the problem of both their religion, the Sabbath, and the undead Mamono. Christian, Jewish and Islamic leaders have all spoken out on it and claim that the name itself is an offense to God. And we very well can't allow necrophilia. We must plan on how to deal with this and soon. Otherwise tensions may boil over, and we can't just allow Vampires and all powerful toddlers to battle us."

Then the Secretary of Agriculture stepped up.

"On a brighter note sir I have news regarding the honeybee Mamono we've been negotiating with as well as our agriculture programs as a whole. The honeybees have agreed to help with the pollination of plants, taking the strain off our actual bee populations. They also agreed to stop taking people without their consent. They only ask to keep the hornet Mamono off them, and that we allow them to complete their hive."

Only a few honeybees had been sent to Earth. Soon after they joined together and had been building a hive in central Iowa. That bothered people however, and them taking men back to the hive to find a "king" didn't help either. But the benefits for the American farming industry that came with these Mamono couldn't be ignored.

The Agriculture Secretary continued.

"Beyond that many types of Mamono have begun working with farmers and production of crops and animal products like dairy and wool have increased by 15%. Meat products have stayed the same."

He finished and the HUD Secretary approached.

"We have begun to expand access for the varying types of Mamono in government owned buildings and services. While it will take time to fully implement, we are on track to provide access to all. However it will be up to the states on how to expand access in private businesses and state owned entities."

She stepped back and finally the Surgeon General stepped up.

"Well sir the CRISPR tests went well. The volunteer's embryos can, when they reach adulthood, produce Human children."

Since the arrival of Mamono into the world one of the most important issues was they're lack of male children. When the topic was first being discussed Michael authorized the use of CRISPR to test on volunteer Mamono, who had already gotten pregnant at this point, to see if they could alter their embryos to allow for Human children as well as Mamono. With the tests confirming it, not this generation, but the next could allow not only Human children but also Mamono ones. This was a massive step in the right direction for both species.

"Get me the press secretary. I need to get a statement ready for international television."
