Nana returned to her room after all the commotion of today. She actually gave a yawn. It was almost funny she couldn't remember the last time she'd felt this tired. Sure ever since becoming the Demon Lord she always had a fog of exhaustion on her but today had really drained her. She was actually looking forward to sleeping right now. As she neared her room she felt a presence and stifled a sigh. "Yes Nagant?" She asked as she turned to face her second oldest daughter. Nagant stood before her straight as an arrow and her eyes staring straight at her unwavering. Her daughter had always been a taciturn woman. Sometimes Nana found it hard to read her, but Nagant always said what she meant and meant what she said. There was no beating around the bush with her and as she would come to find out this conversation would be no different.
"Are you sure this is the best course of action Mother?" Nagant asked point blank and Nana opened her bedroom door and stepped inside. She gave a wave of her hand ushering her daughter in after her. Nana took a seat on a plush chair as she eyed her daughter waiting for her to take a seat before speaking. Nagant stepped into the room and shut the bedroom door before taking a seat in the other chair. "To answer your question yes I do Nagant. Your father chose him for a reason and I will always trust what your father does." Nagant stared at her mother before sitting forward.
"There's no way he could be lying? You're sure this isn't some trick of the humans?" Nagant continued with her questions. Nana could see why she'd waited until it was just the two of them to ask these questions. Nagant was loyal to a fault she wouldn't want to be seen as disrespecting her mother or questioning her so much in front of the others. She smiled at her daughter and leaned forward.
"You've always been a good girl Nagant. You always followed the rules and for that I thank you. No I don't think he's lying. I don't think he's capable of telling one to this degree. You saw him it's not in his nature. Much like your father when he was young he was awful at telling lies." Nana said with a giggle. Thinking of Toshi trying to lie always made her laugh. "As far as this being some plot by the human world I can't rule it out, but I would like to think that if they did do something like this they'd have chosen a more capable person, an adult man at the very least." Nagant had to concede to her mother's logic. If she were orchestrating the type of plan that she thought the humans might be implementing she would not have chosen someone like Izuku for this. Not A child that at least to her knowledge knew very little about the Demon Realm.
"Very well my last question then Mother. Is my sister in danger while being alone with him?" Nagant asked and Nana smiled.
"So protective of your little sister you really are a good girl Nagant. No, I don't think Izuku poses a danger to any of us as of yet. He hasn't awakened to his powers yet and I just don't think with his personality he'd be willing to harm us unless pushed to that limit which I doubt will come to pass." Once again Nag ant had to acknowledge her mother was right. Izuku was not confrontational and her sisters would not outright attack him unless their lives were in danger and considering the little threat Izuku possessed that was highly unlikely. Nagant stood up and gave a small bow. Now that her worries had been assuaged she felt it was best to leave.
"Thank you for indulging my questions mother and even more so for relieving my fears." She said as she rose from her bow. Nana simply smiled at her second oldest child.
"Of course Nagant I'm your mother taking away your fears will always be my job." She said as Nagant gave the ghost of a smile before leaving her mother's chambers.
Momo's jaw was hanging after hearing what Izuku had told her. "Seriously, that's what happened?" Momo asked as she swallowed. Even the simple Mina could understand that something drastic had happened.
"You're going to be the Demon Lord Husband?" The pink slime asked as Izuku shook his head.
"Only if I manage to seduce all the current Demon Lord's daughters and some of them aren't my biggest admirers at the moment." Momo scoffed at his words.
"That's an understatement it's clear Midnight wants you dead and after the stunt you pulled I can only assume Ryukyu isn't happy with you either. This is a tall order for anyone Izuku. Needless to say it will not be easy." Izuku nodded in agreement even now he wasn't sure he could do it.
"I don't have a choice Momo I don't want to die and I don't want to leave you all behind." At those words Urara leapt up.
"We'll help you Master!" She shouted before jumping into his lap. "We'll all go with you and make sure you succeed." Momo gave a small smile. She had thought that Urara would be reluctant to allow this to go through. She wasn't the jealous type, but she didn't like not being close to Izuku. Between the three of them she was the most affectionate. She didn't mind sharing Izuku with Ashido and herself, but to add any more women and such powerful ones at that. Momo thought Urara would not allow it, but it seemed she underestimated the Kobold. Urara could see the situation they were in and made her choice.
"Urara is right we will ask to accompany you on your mission and give you all the help we can, but before that you need training." Momo said as she sat beside Izuku. "You need to feed for one and doing so will help you control and get used to the growing lust inside you. Once you know how your mana flows in your aroused state you'll become more comfortable with it." Momo began to slide her top down making Izuku blush.
"R-right now?!" He shouted as Momo looked at him.
"It has to be now you'll be heading out tomorrow right. You need a clear mind and a full stomach." Izuku opened his mouth to dispute that but couldn't. She was right of course. Izuku needed to be in top form when he started this so with a heavy sigh he nodded.
"Ok let's do this." He said as Momo smiled before looking at the other two. "Well don't just sit there we're all going to help after all. Izuku needs to get used to various female forms. The Demon Lords daughters don't all look human." Urara's tail was wagging fiercely as she flopped her back onto the bed holding her arms wide and spreading her legs. Out of the three she was the only one who really didn't wear clothes, her fur served to conceal her modesty.
"Do whatever you want Master I don't mind." She panted eagerly. Ashido bounced over to the bed as well leaving herself open to Izuku's touch.
"Don't forget about me Husband!" Izuku looked at the two girls lying on the bed and felt his face heat up, but took a deep breath and fought through his hesitancy. If he couldn't even make three women who already professed their love for him feel good there was no way he'd be able to seduce Nana's daughters. He reached forward and grabbed hold of Ashido's breasts. He heard a light squeak as his hand made contact with her "skin". It seemed like Ashido had a thin membrane surrounding her entirely liquid body. She was cool to the touch and smooth there was almost no resistance as his hand moved around her breasts. Ashido squirmed under his touch and whined when he took her nipple between his fingers.
The little nub was much firmer than the rest of her skin as he rolled it between his fingers. Izuku watched Ashido's face as the pleasure roiled through her. Her breathing increased punctuated by sharp intakes and moans. He moved forward and captured her lips after her latest gasp. He felt her cool lips against his as he probed her mouth with his tongue. He tasted her truly tasting all of her since her entire body was composed of the same liquid. Ashido moaned into his mouth as Izuku plundered her mouth for all she was worth and the heat expanded through her body made her feel as if she was boiling. Her hand wrapped around Izuku's back as she slipped her other under his shirt and felt his firm muscular chest. Her liquid body even picked up the vibrations of his heart. Each beat sent a ripple through her body.
Izuku pulled back to catch his breath and looked to the side to see an absolutely adorable pair of puppy dog eyes begging him for attention. He looked down at Urara and chuckled as his moved to scratch her belly. There was a gentle whine as her leg kicked erratically. The belly rub was only the beginning as Izuku's hand moved down to Urara's pussy. She yipped happily as she felt Izuku's fingers slide between her lower lips. Her fur was already dark with her arousal Izuku could smell her desire, but not just hers. He could smell Ashido's and Momo's each scent was unique and intoxicating. Momo moved behind Izuku from where she'd been sitting on the other bed and began to undress him. Izuku was thankful for the help and tried to help her as much as he could with both his hands occupied.
He leaned down to kiss Urara as he shifted to let Momo get his pants off and free his cock. Once his cock was out in the open all three women were buffeted by Izuku's powerful musk. Momo bit her lip as the waves of Izuku's lust brushed across her body lighting a flame under her skin. She pressed her nude body against Izuku's back just to feel the source of the fire in her skin. Ashido having seen Izuku's cock, but never experienced it was eager to try it desperate even. Ashido slipped under Izuku gripping his hard and so very hot cock. She felt Izuku thrust into her grip as if it were her pussy. She smiled glad to see he was as eager as she was. Ashido guided his member into her and gasped as she finally got to relish in the feeling of Izuku inside her.
This had been on her mind since well she got her mind. It was all thanks to Izuku's pulse of mana that she gained a higher level of conciousness. Izuku spread her open as his cock pushed inside her. "Oh Husband!" She moaned once she had all of him inside her. Izuku had turned his head to kiss Momo as he fingered Urara who was panting heavily under his touch. Izuku broke the kiss with Momo to hiss and look at Ashido as he felt her pussy engulf his cock. Ashido thrust herself against Izuku driving him deep into her. Izuku was mesmerized by the sight of his cock driving into Ashido being able to see his dick through her translucent skin was so obscene it only made him harder. He grabbed hold of Ashido's waist with one hand and gave a savage thrust into her.
The Slime girl gave a deep moan as Izuku sent ripples throughout her body making her very mind shake with pleasure. The sheets grew moist as Ashido barely held her form together under the pleasure Izuku was giving her. Urara turned her head looking into Ashido's cock drunk eyes and began licking the girl's face tasting the arousal on her. Izuku began a hard rhythm of fucking Ashido her body jiggling with each impact as she moaned uselessly. Momo moved from behind Izuku giving him more room to drive back and deliver powerful thrusts into Ashido. She sat on the opposite side of Ashido and played with the Slime's tits as she played with her own pussy which was absolutely drenched at this point.
Being able to watch Izuku fuck someone was almost as arousing as having sex with him herself. She watched his eyes glow green as his pace increased reducing Ashido to a quivering mess before he pushed as deep into her as he could and came. Momo watched the cloud of semen erupt from his cock inside Ashido. Her mouth was watering as she watched the obscene amount of cum fill Ashido who quivered as each shot of cum entered her. Her body was barely in its human form as her eyes moved lazily in her head trying to focus on Izuku as he continued to fill her with his seed.
Her body being mostly liquid Izuku's semen traveled throughout her instantly, but she had a feeling that if she had a less malleable form her belly would be swollen with seed. Izuku slowly pulled his cock out it was drenched in a mixture of Ashido and his own seed. "Allow me Izuku." Momo said as she leaned down and enveloped Izuku's cock in her mouth. The boy gave a growl as Momo's tongue swirled around the tip of his sensitive cock. His fingers moved erratically as Momo stimulated his cock. Urara moaned as Izuku's fingers went back to work inside her bringing her to climax almost instantly. Her pussy squirted around his digits darkening her fur and drenching the blankets of the bed even more.
Momo slowly pulled off Izuku's cock having gotten a taste of him but before she could get too far away Izuku grabbed her by her hair and forced her back onto his dick which was once again hard. Her gray eyes looked up at Izuku who was smirking down at her with a lustful grin that made her pussy clench in anticipation. She resumed her ministrations as she sucked Izuku's dick. He thrust against her face slapping his balls against her chin as drool ran down her mouth. Her eyes watered as her pussy dribbled its juices down her legs. She was sure she couldn't breathe, but she didn't care and soon her efforts were rewarded as Izuku came filling her mouth with an explosion of cum so fierce some shot from her nose as her cheeks filled with his cum. She swallowed as fast as she could, but barely kept up with the torrent of jizz.
Soon enough the geyser of seed came to a stop and Momo was allowed to breathe again as Izuku pulled his cock free of her mouth. She stayed there on her hands and knees panting before falling to her side licking her face trying to claim every drop of cum that had escaped her before. Izuku himself was covered in a thin sheen of sweat and breathing heavily. He hadn't known how much he'd needed this. How much he needed them. If they were by his side he could definitely do what he had to in order to keep them safe. Izuku moved each of the now exhausted girls to the bed next to the one they'd made such a mess of and had them all under the covers as he slipped in next to them. Now that he was fed he needed sleep. Tomorrow he'd be facing the first of many challenges to secure a life for himself and these girls.
"Demon Lord Shigaraki I the Hero Toshinori Yagi have come to defeat you!" A powerfully built blonde man shouted this after having kicked open the door to the throne room of the Demon Lord. A dark laughter emanated from throne as a tall man with white hair and black horns stood up. The creature standing in front of the throne was a demon in all respects from the jet black horns to the powerful blood red wings that flared from his back shredding the cloak he'd been wearing. His eyes were a deep red as if they were filled with blood. Fangs protruded from his mouth as he smiled and raised one clawed hand.
"You are a fool to come here human. I will kill you and parade your body through the human world as I conquer it! Now DIE!" Demon Lord Shigaraki launched himself at the blonde hero in a powerful clash. Toshinori raised his sword and shield and yelled his battle cry.
"PLUS ULTRA!"
As the smoke cleared after the battle Toshinori approached a young Lilim with black hair. She was on her knees over her father's dead body. "Are you going to kill me too?" The girl asked him. He stumbled in his weakened state and broken armor.
"I don't kill unless I have to. I'm sorry I had to kill him, but it was the only way." Toshi said knowing his words would be of no comfort to a child who'd just lost her father. The girl shook her head her black hair moving back and forth.
"Don't apologize, my father was a monster above all else. He didn't care for anyone but himself, not even me, but for the people of this kingdom I will have to take on the title of Demon Lord." She said as she stood and faced Toshi. "You are in the presence of future Demon Lord Nana Shimura!" She shouted in his face. The blonde hero looked at her and then laughed a great and powerful laugh that shocked and irritated Nana. "What are you laughing at!?" She shouted as Toshi curbed his laughter.
"I'm sorry, so sorry, but you just looked so cute right then." Nana blushed at being called cute. "You know I don't have any family back in my world and now that I accomplished my mission I doubt they would have much use for me there. How about I stay here." He said with the biggest and most genuine smile she'd ever seen as he held out his hand to her. "I'm Toshinori Yagi nice to meet you Demon Lord Nana Shimura!"
Nana's eyes opened as she felt them gather with tears. She wiped them away as she sat up. "You were always such a weirdo." She said shaking her head as she got out of bed and got dressed. She always dreamed about Toshi, but this is the first time in a while that she'd dreamt about that moment. Her father had upset the balance too much and the gods had decided to step in, indirectly of course. They blessed someone as the new hero and that hero was Toshinori Yagi. If someone had told her that she would grow to not only love, but marry a human hero way back then she would have laughed in their face. She sighed as she stepped out of her room and was immediately attended by a pair of imps as she walked down the halls. When she was younger she found the act of walking the halls so mundane and took to teleporting wherever she wanted to go, but after meeting Toshi and walking beside him because he refused to be teleported by her she found the charm in just taking things one step at a time.
After his disappearance and her needing to conserve as much mana as possible she was thankful for her tolerance of walking the halls. If she had taken to teleporting even after meeting Toshi she would be exhausted after having walked through the castle. She made her way to the dining room for a quick breakfast. Since most of her mana was being used to support the Demon Realm and she refused to take in copious amounts of essence she supplemented her diet with actual food.
Before her was set a plate of berries drizzled in honey. Nana picked up a strawberry watching a line of sticky gold form as she pulled the fruit away from its brethren before snapping as it drooped under its own weight. She bit into the fresh fruit feeling the splash of honey across her tongue followed by the tart sweetness of the strawberry. As she ate more thoughts of her husband flowed through her mind. Unlike Izuku who was born a commoner in the human world Toshi was a noble. His father had been a knight and his younger brother was an archivist, but Toshi was the hero. He didn't ask for it, in fact until that point Toshi had been a frail and sickly boy, but after the gods blessed him with the title of Hero and all the power that came with it he was a paragon of masculinity.
Nana licked the honey off a blueberry as she remembered Toshi's form. He was tall much taller than her and rippling with muscle a tower of strength, and yet so gentle when he held her. His lips ghosting across her flesh as those big hands caressed her body. Nana bit her finger realizing her plate was empty, and that she was simply fantasizing about Toshi. She shook her head and composed herself. As she brought herself under control she stood up leaving the table to be cleaned by the kitchen staff. It was nearly time. Nana once more began walking through the castle until she arrived at the foyer and saw Izuku and his three companions already gathered. Nana slowed down and watched them from a distance for a moment.
Izuku was no Toshi that was abundantly clear, but he had his own charms. That youthful face of his brought out a motherly affection in her and a hunger to dominate him. She could imagine those green eyes looking up at her tinged with lust and trepidation. She bit her lip to stop that train of thought. She was far more lustful than usual. She might have to absorb some essence to take the edge off. She stepped forward making her presence known. Immediately the Kobold, Witch, and Slime kneeled to her. Izuku quickly followed suit. "You may rise." She said watching them do as she said. "Today starts your trial Izuku. If you manage to seduce my daughters and prove yourself worthy to them you will inherit the title of Demon Lord."
Izuku gave a hard swallow before nodding. "If you fail though you will become my concubine and I will send your lovers away. Your essence will only be for me." Once more Izuku nodded. "Now then where is your first conquest?" She asked the open room before a soft scraping could be heard and from the side appeared Uwabami.
"I would appreciate it if you wouldn't call me a conquest Mother." Uwabami said as she moved toward the rune at the side of the room that began to glow with her magic.
"Of course sorry Uwabami. Izuku are you ready?" Nana asked.
The boy looked up at Nana with eyes full of intent. "Would it be alright if my companions came with me your majesty? They are a part of me and I would like to have them at my side during these challenges." Nana paused for a moment as if in thought before nodding.
"I will allow it. That won't be a problem will it Uwabami?" She asked the Echidna who sighed and shrugged.
"I don't see why not. He will not be feeding from me so it should only be right he has a store of food." She said referring to the three girls as Izuku's food store and nothing more. Nana frowned but said nothing.
"Very well if you four would stand on the sigil next to Uwabami who scooted away keeping her distance from Izuku and his troupe. "Have a safe trip." Nana said as Uwabami activated the teleportation sigil and sent them to her home.
Izuku had several encounters with teleportation, but this was probably the most comfortable of them all. It was simple he stood on the glyph blinked and he was somewhere else. The place was extremely humid Izuku almost felt like he was drinking the air with every breath he took. He looked around and caught a glimpse of the outside world through a window. They had arrived in a jungle it seemed. Izuku recognized the scenery from one of the books his father had sent him. "Welcome to my lands the Ouroboros Jungle." Uwabami said as she began to slither off. Izuku and company walked behind her and Izuku became mesmerized by her undulating body. Her snake like body weaving back and forth in front of him was nearly hypnotic. They moved from what seemed to be a courtyard into the castle proper.
Momo looked around and noticed the overgrown walls and cracked stone. "Is this a ruin?" She asked noticing the weathered d stones. Uwabami spoke without looking back.
"Yes it was. It was an ancient castle once held by human Royalty until my grandfather expanded the Demon Realm into this area long ago. After my mother became the new Demon Lord and my sisters and I needed control the far flung corners of her domain I found this castle and made it my own. Well me and my pets." As if on cue there was a monotony of hisses. The quartet all looked up seeing snakes hanging from the ceiling and slithering out of the cracks in the stone, but the most frightening snake came around the corner. It was absolutely massive in length. Its head was up to Uwabami's waist and its body extended past the length of the corridor. "Ah there you are Jormangandr." Uwabami said rubbing the snakes head as his tongue flickered happily.
Izuku swallowed hard staring at the massive serpent. He'd killed a few snakes on his farm back home, but he'd need more than a hoe to slay this beast. "Come over and introduce yourself." Uwabami commanded as her golden eyes stared at Izuku who locked eyes with her fearfully.
"W-wh-what?" She smiled happily at the stuttering boy.
"You're going to be the next Demon Lord right? You can't tell me little Jormi scares you." She said drawing her nail up and down the snakes head. Izuku once more swallowed as he looked to the snake and staring into his vertical pupils as he slowly stepped forward.
"Be careful Master." Urara cautioned as Izuku slowly walked up to the large reptile that slowly lifted his head so he could stare Izuku in the eye. Not that he had that far to go. Jormangandr's head was up to Izuku's chest. Izuku took a deep breath and reached out for the snake. He held his hand inches before actually making contact with his nose. He remembered his mother telling him how to approach animals he wasn't familiar with and wanted to pet. Hold his hand out ninety percent of the way and come from below and hold letting the animal make the decision whether it wanted to be petted. Uwabami cocked her head to the side with interest. It seemed the boy had some decorum at least.
Jormangandr stared at Izuku for several seconds before flicking his tongue against Izuku's palm before pressing his nose against it. Izuku jumped a little at the cold scales brushing against his palm but then relaxed and began to stroke the giant snakes head. "Hello Jormangandr." Izuku said as the snake pulled away apparently having enough physical contact for the moment and began to slither down the hall. You all should not leave your room after nightfall. Jormangandr and my other children become more active at night and are very hungry. I suggest you get used to being here for the next year at most. I have no desire to sleep with you Izuku nor do you have anyway of changing my mind. You might as well give up now and accept your place as mother's concubine. I'm sure she'll treat you well, and you'll live in the lap of luxury." Uwabami tried to show him how futile this all was and get him to accept what his future held for him.
"If that's how you felt then why did you side with Nana?" He asked looking at her. "You didn't want me to die and I thank you for that. This may be trial, but I also want to show my gratitude to you anyway I can." He said taking a small step forward. He was closer than she would like but not so close she felt a need to call it out. "Thank you Uwabami, for your mercy then and your consideration now. You truly are very kind and I want to vindicate your kindness by succeeding this trial. I know you don't have any hope that I can overcome this, but I have to at least try." He said with a confident smile. Uwabami flicked her snake like tongue in the air as she looked at him.
This wasn't the small boy who had stood in front of her and her sisters barely keeping a façade of strength and confidence. He truly believed every word he said and it made her curious as to where this confidence came from. "If you say so, but for now I'll show you to your room. I assume sharing one between the four of you won't be a problem?"
"Of course not thank you for being so understanding." Izuku said as he followed after the Empress of snakes as she led them to a large room. There was one massive bed at the back of the room. The ceiling was covered in blooming vines and a long carpet stretched the width of the room. "There's also a bathroom through there." She said giving a nod in the direction of another door.
"Oh that's wonderful." Momo said stepping forward while pulling Urara, and Ashido. "I hate to say it has been a while since our last bath. Izuku why don't you take a tour with Mistress Uwabami while the three of us freshen up." Momo suggested and Izuku gave a nod.
"Sounds like a plan if you're willing." He said looking at Uwabami who flicked her tongue once again. Izuku was starting to learn that, that action meant she was thinking about something. He would liken it to a human stroking her chin. Uwabami turned her back to him.
"Very well follow me." She said as she began to slither off once again. Izuku turned back to Momo with a thumb up as Momo nodded. The plan was going well.
Earlier that morning
"Ok Izuku we're going to be helping you as much as we can to make sure that things go our way." Momo said as she got dressed. Izuku nodded.
"But how, it's pretty clear that no matter how sympathetic they may be to not kill me they're not willing to sleep with me." He said as Momo nodded.
"Of course not, they just don't know what they're missing is all. These are the top women of our world Izuku nothing is denied them. It's the classic question of what do you get for the monster who has everything? Something she's never had before. There hasn't been an Incubus in the Demon Realm in centuries. There's no way that they know the feeling of being made love to by one, and that's our angle, curiosity." She said as she stepped up to Izuku. "We simply need to entice Uwabami. You said she agreed with her mother because she's her mother play to that; show her how thankful you are."
Izuku listened to Momo's plan as she continued along. Her confidence was infectious honestly and even Izuku was starting to feel like this would work, and so with that confidence in his heart Izuku walked side by side with Uwabami not behind her like a docile lamb, nor in front like he was her better but side by side like an equal. Uwabami's golden serpent eyes looked in his direction every so often. She found it interesting that he was able to keep pace with her. She didn't have legs so it was hard for a species with legs to match her pace without being able to look at her legs and gauge her speed, but Izuku seemed to have no problem at all.
Izuku's eyes moved and locked with hers for a moment. She'd been staring too long and been caught. She turned away and then mentally chastised herself. Why was she the one looking away? She thought before stopping in front of a door that she pushed open and presented a wide open courtyard. There were jungle plants flowing all over the area with brilliant colored flowers. He could see serpents of many colors and sizes hanging from the vines and flowing across the ground. In the middle of the room was a large pond the surface was covered with leaves and Izuku could see ripples forming as snakes swam across its surface.
"Beautiful." He said as Uwabami nodded as she looked at the enclosure.
"It is isn't it?" She said turning to look at him and finding him gazing at her. She felt a small rush of heat across her face as she realized he'd been facing her when he said that. She shook her head slightly bringing herself under control. "Nice try, but it'll take more than flattery for you to succeed here." She said turning her back and leaving the sanctuary. Izuku walked after her catching up to her side.
"I know, but I think it still had to be said." He stated as he took in Uwabami's form the series of colors in her scales and her golden eyes and hair. She was the picture of a serpent goddess. They walked for several minutes before stepping into what was clearly a throne room, but it seemed to have been made into more of a relaxation space. The throne had been removed and the dais had been adorned with blankets and pillows. "This is where I spend most of my time." She said as Izuku looked at the wide open space and noticed that a window shone light directly onto Uwabami's "throne".
"How do you spend your time?" Izuku asked as Uwabami shrugged.
"Reading mostly a lot of the reading material was destroyed after this kingdom fell, but some of it still remains and I've been reading through it in my spare time when I'm not leading the snake and reptile people of this land or tending to my snakes." Izuku looked around and noticed unlike her mother Uwabami didn't have any servants in her home. It was just her and her serpents.
"You take care of all of them on your own?" He asked. During his time here he'd seen several dozen snakes here and then of course Jormangandr himself must require a lot of time to care for. Uwabami shrugged at his question.
"They mostly take care of themselves when it comes to food, but if they're injured or when they shed I help them. It's mostly during the winter months when I have to take special care of them." Izuku nodded remembering that in a book he once read said that snakes couldn't stand the cold and would freeze to death very easily.
"I see well thank you for the tour, but I should check in on my companions and think about what to make for dinner." He said as Uwabami arched a brow.
"You're going to cook?" She asked as Izuku smiled.
"I may not look it but I can cook somewhat. I'm no palace chef but I can get by I would like if you joined us, but if you prefer to eat alone then I understand. Until then my lady I leave you for now." He said with a small bow before moving around the corner leaving Uwabami somewhat confused, but also curious as to just what this young man had in store for her.
