"Wait, what do you mean you aren't the Leader of Yokai in Japan?" Alphonse asked with a tinge of confusion as Yasaka sat across from him sipping a mug of coffee while breastfeeding Kunou.
"It's exactly as I said. Technically, we are a minor faction as I control the Western Faction of Yokai's in Japan. Nurarihyon to be specific, controls the Eastern Faction." She said.
"Huh … that kind of makes sense. But what do you mean that you are considered a minor faction? Don't we have Amatseru?" He asked.
"Well, yes and no. Basically, I'm one of the very few who can speak to the gods directly. Just consider me as a bridge between gods and the rest. But at the same time, not all of them truly care about us. Their only concern is the continuation of worship and that Japan is still here." She muttered.
"Oh." Alphonse looked down with a complicated expression, "Then if they don't care. Why did Amatseru even come to our wedding in the first place?"
"Just to check up on you and me. Thankfully, she gave us her blessings so I'm happy it turned out well. Glad I didn't have to resort to bribery or begging."
"What?! You mean that we weren't going to be married?" Shocked at the information he was just now hearing.
"Thankfully we did."
He sighed, "Then what about the minor faction? Why were there so many people even interested in the first place?"
She perked up an eyebrow as she looked at him, "Because I am beautiful and have a body that can match a fertility goddess. Also for the fact that it is the first time a Yokai Faction Leader is even marrying a human in the first place."
"Oh, that does explain a bit." He hummed. "I know you're beautiful and all but to think it would be such a big deal. I mean, I didn't exactly marry you for your beauty."
"But it was what got you to try out your luck." She smirked as she jumped slightly to cause her tits to bounce. Sadly for Kunou, she began flailing from the sudden movement.
"Touché."
"But in the end, what made you so happy though? You've been nothing but smiles since yesterday."
"Oh nothing~" The smile was still there as she stared back at him.
"Hmmm … very suspicious. Also, I think you're choking Kunou with your tits?"
"Oh shit, sorry sweetie."
"Heh, give her to me. I want some time with my daughter and fluff her tails."
Yasaka passed Kunou to Alphonse with a smile. Whipping her mouth from drool, Allphonse stood up and proceeded to walk away.
"And before I forget. Can you come with me tomorrow?"
"Hmm? Sure why?" He asked.
"I was … well, hoping that you can help me fill out my paperwork while I attend a few meetings?" She paused for a moment. Shifting beneath his stare.
"Alright, I'll go. What's the worst that can happen."
The next day throughout the whole morning, Yasaka began to show and teach Alphonse what type of paperwork he could complete, what to organize, and if possible. Convert each document into a digital format that was disconnected from the internet. In fact, due to Yasaka's position as a Faction Leader. All forms of internet were either not available or went through a special server.
Mainly as a form to keep any potential spying or hacking away from gaining access to important documents. Especially now that Yasaka left him alone for a moment to do something while he was left behind to copy some documents onto a Laptop and take care of Kunou.
"Hey there, Kunou. I bet it's pretty boring watching your dad working." Alphonse muttered out loud.
Kunou herself was playing around with a toy as she chewed and nibbled on it.
With a shrug, he continued doing his work.
"Huh, most of these are just inventory dated back …. What the fuck?" Alphonse couldn't help but notice both the date and Yasaka's handwriting. "It's dated almost a hundred and 20 years ago? It even has her signature?"
"Gosh, I tend to forget she's way older than me. I guess your mom is a bit of a cougar ain't she Kunou." He chuckled.
There was a knock on the door and it opened to reveal one of the guards.
"Uhm sir?"
"Yes?"
"The Devils are here to see you."
"... What?"
A few minutes later, Yasaka came back in a rush. She carried a worried expression as she found Alphonse looking back at her in a confused manner as the person she was supposed to meet was sitting in front of him.
Immediately, she feared the worst and activated her senjutsu abilities to check on her husband. Heaving a sigh of relief as the devil in question didn't do anything towards him.
In less than a second, Yasaka returned to her persona of a Queen. "Ms. Serafall, I see you made it here by yourself."
"Mhm! I thought it would be best to wait for you in your office but it seems that it was already occupied by your cute husband." A smile plastered on the Devil in question.
"I see," Annoyance and anger flashed quickly as it disappeared.
"Hey Yasaka. Do you want me to leave for a bit? I can tell that you were supposed to meet this lady, it seems." He said. Unaware that he was speaking to one of the four Lucifers of Hell.
"Please," Nodded Yasaka, "And if you can take Kunou out for lunch today? I'll be a bit busy."
Getting up, he quickly walked towards Yasaka and gave her a quick kiss on the cheek. "Okay love. Say bye to mama Kunou." Grabbing their daughter's small arm and giving it a wave at her.
A tiny hint of a smile appeared on her face as she nodded and sat down on the chair that Alphonse occupied. As soon as he left, most of her worries left, leaving her alone with the Devil.
"Booo." The Devil pouted, "Did he really have to leave so soon? I was just starting to get to know him."
It took much of Yasaka's willpower to keep her poker face. "Seeing how you have already contacted Amatseru, it's safe to say that the trade went through."
"Of course! I'm just here to bring you confirmation of the transaction." Serafall brought out a set of documents.
"Then let us talk terms."
"Very well, the documents I'm presenting you are both available discounts regarding our products and services we would provide."
"Hmm," The Yokai muttered, "It says here that the town would become one of the transport hubs from Japan to Hell and vice versa. I cannot agree to this-"
"Oh? Why so?"
Yasaka ignored how Serafall cut her off, "unless you allow me to set up Security. Although I do have a question."
"Shoot."
"Have you spoken to Nurarihyon regarding this? The town you've chosen seems to be closer to his border."
"I have." The Devil nodded.
"Why the fuck didn't the old pervert tell me about this?" Yasaka thought in her head as she read through the documents detailing the contract between Japan's factions and the Devils Faction. Carefully she looked for any sort of loopholes and was able to find a few but only minor ones. Specifically regarding human schools and businesses. Not that it mattered to her as the only human she truly cared for was Alphonse.
Although, she was beginning to have an idea why these loopholes were there. There were rumors that both Serafall Leviathan and Sirzechs Lucifer had little sisters. There was a possibility that they were setting up the Town to be their siblings' little playground. Yasaka was getting annoyed that the Devil Faction was getting their grubby hands on Japan's lands. A slight sense of pity for the humans but it wasn't her fault. The ones who should be worried are the Omniyoji, the Five Principal Clans and the Japanese Church Branch.
Their talk went on for a few hours as they hashed out the details and final confirmations. Yasaka had to call a few people regarding a few things. At the end, Serafall had a satisfied expression while Yasaka continued to meditate a sense of calm.
"And lastly, regarding the Devil Pieces."
"Yes, I know. There won't be any recruitment on Yokai, but humans will have a 15 year wait period."
"Good, I'm glad you understood that."
"I guess we are in agreement."
A few minutes later after a few documents were signed, Serafall left. Yakasa waited for a few minutes, sensing the Devil leaving until she fully left the dimension. It was as she left that Yakasa's spiritual power was accidentally released for a few moments. Covering the dimension with a powerful pressure before putting a lid on it.
"Good, she didn't leave any bugs." Sighing and reaching towards a hidden place before taking out a bottle of Sake. Not bothering to pour a cup and simply drank the liquid from the bottle itself.
"Gods, I need to tell Alphonse to be careful around Devils." She sighed, "He still has a lot to learn. But in the end, it doesn't matter. My husband, the incarnation of Aurelias." Giggling at the reminder who her husband's last reincarnation was.
"In fact! The things he wrote down in his journal has enough information for factions to start a minor war for! I really need to get him stronger as soon as possible. He'll be our deterrent against the other factions. The Devils have their Satans, The Fallen with Azazel, Angels their Archangels. Hindus with Indra, China and their Jade Emperor, the US with their Singularity Nukes and so many more. They all have their champions, but Japan only has the Gods. Yet, they don't even bother as they mostly keep to themselves not caring about anything us Mortals do. If I remember correctly, Aurelias was one of the very few humans to have slain a God."
Finishing her drink before putting it away. "Guess it's up to me to train him as soon as possible. If I have to be harsh then so be it. As much as I love him, he needs to be able to pull his weight sooner or later."
For some reason, it felt as if reality was slowly eaten away. The Abomination in front of me. It was the antithesis of life itself. There was only pain and suffering. Usually, I wouldn't react well but seeing it was enough for me to feel nothing but utter disgust.
A beast that wanted nothing but for all life to die. An anathema of reality. For some reason, it reminded me of a couple of monsters in my past life.
"I see, that explains a lot."
A voice responded back to me with the intent of asking for help.
"Yes, in fact. I'll go even further and try something new. Can you create a time bubble with the time sped up?"
A small moment before I received a confirmation.
"Good, I'll get started on my work. You continue working on keeping the Beast in check. I'll get started on the seals. And what about you?"
A Giant Red Dragon stared back at me. I could feel his power almost match the Beast but was slightly weaker. "I'll give you some of my power. I think I have an idea on what you'll be making."
"Good, I need to make use of it." I said. Before noticing a shift in the Void.
In front of me, reality distorted and entered. As soon as I went in, my patron completely slowed down. Moving slower until he stood still. The Beast shifted focus while I was hidden away.
"Hmm, separating this pocket of reality from the concept of Time. Forming a bubble of Unreality while creating a looping flow of Time away from the River. Once I leave, the Reality inside will collapse into nothingness." Satisfied with my new workshop.
My Mana flared and took out all the necessary materials from the pocket dimension.
"Nya~ Master?" The cat looked up at me.
"Hello love, right now. I'm in need of your help. Can you start by returning to your other form?" Turning away before she could transform as I took out my grimoire.
"Yes!~" She said behind me.
"Good, now pass me the ink. We need to start working on creating a seal to keep that creature contained." Pointing at the sight in front of us.
"Oh my … it's ugly." She muttered.
"It is, that's why he asked for my help. I'm thinking of creating a set of chains. A set of chains that will hold a concept. And for that," I looked back at her with sad eyes. Her innocent smile was enough to make me feel guilty.
"I'm going to-"
Only to be cut off as she hugged me.
"It's okay. I understand."
A slight tear trickled down my eyes. "I'm sorry."
"Nya~ Don't be. I'll still be myself at the end."
"Sure, but it won't be the same." Picking her up and placing her lying down on the table in front of me.
"I … I can get someone else, you know."
"Nah, you can always just make me another soul."
With a heavy heart, my hands turned red with blood. The ink and blood mixing into one. Metallic chains linking together. Concepts bound and held together. A ritual performed. A seal made.
"Hmm? What's wrong Alphonse?" Said Yasaka as she felt him suddenly jump up from the bed. The two naked as the day they were born with her tails wrapped around him.
Shivering in shock and fear as he could recall the memories completely. Yasaka instinctively noticed his emotions weren't the same.
"I-I remember something. It's … holy shit. Holy fuck that was terrifying. " He muttered before getting out of his bed naked as the day he was born and went straight to the desk. Grabbing his journal and a pen, Alphonse began to write.
Originally, Yasaka was going to chalk it up to another set of memories of Aurelias returning. But as soon as she laid down, she noticed a spike of multiple energies rising.
"Alphy, what are you doing?"
He didn't respond, as his focus was still on the journal. She stood up from bed and went over to the desk. As she looked down to see what he was writing, her eyes began to hurt and a migraine formed in her head.
"What are you writing?" She muttered.
"Writing down Spells that were perhaps my greatest creation in my past life. Also, did you know that the soul can be reset?"
"Huh … that's neat." Yasaka mumbled.
"Yeah," He nodded as he continued to write. "Did you know that you can easily create a Perpetual Motion Machine the size of a Stopwatch and produce an esoteric type of energy that can be converted into Mana, Spiritual Power, and Life Energy?"
"... No?" Yasaka felt as if she was in a fever dream. Pinching herself and found out that she was in fact not in a dream.
"Well, it's easy, you just need to apply E̴̞̽̆̈́̃̕͝i̷̛̮̅ͅn̸̡͍͒̏ ̸͎͈̌͐̂͌͒̾͗ͅS̶̜͓̞̭̝̿͒͒̕o̷̡̧̝̹̰̥̼͋̚f̴̭̱̖̩̱͎͊̐̿̉͂ to G̷̟̳̫̥͝ĕ̶̺̰̖͚̥͚̃̑v̴͍̏̇͆̃̋̿͘ư̵̪̩͓͕̞̙̑ř̴̡͎̻̹͔̐á̵̯̣̠́h̶̟̤̺̥̤̬̘́ while keeping the N̸̩̯͗̓ȅ̸̯t̶̲̎̓z̵͇͒ă̴̢̓c̴͍͆̕h̵̙͛ as the base. Then, you apply the Golden Ratio while adding the concept of Nothingness to the equation. This way, you won't have the Energy producing overheat in a second and explode. Although the infinite energy is being created, there would already be a way to disperse most of the unwanted energy. If you want unlimited holy energy, add the O̵̟̱̖̙̻̒͜͝ḧ̶̢̨͖̼̙̾r̶̦̀̀̎́͐ ̸͎͉̃E̵̞͍͆̈̚i̶̢̞̫͓̪̖̊̉n̴͇̍́͋̀̂̏̀ ̶̩͔͖̫̟͉͇͆̾̈́̆̍S̶̟͎̤̩̒̓ö̵̥̭̞́͜f̵̹̩͎͋̍ but sadly. Yahweh isn't here, so that's a bust. His energy is actually the purest thing I've ever seen in my life. But since you're connected to a Leyline, is it the Planet's Life Force or a form of true Ether? Maybe I can ask Great Red to see if he could help me remember."
As he continued to talk what was perhaps gibberish, Yasaka couldn't help but sigh as she did the one thing that usually shuts him up.
Quickly, she turned him around. Grabbed his face and pushed him between her cleavage. "C'mon, you can tell me all about it tomorrow. Your wife is tired after dealing with the Devils and making a lot of calls. I need some sleep."
"But-" Alphonse was going to argue but was cut off as Yasaka picked him up. Carrying him as she fell on the bed while hugging him. Face still pressed between her cleavage.
"Shut up, It's 3 in the fucking morning."
He sighed, "Yes, honey."
A few hours later and a cup of coffee afterward. As she left to the palace, it was then that she finally processed what Alphonse said.
"Huh … My husband's last incarnation knew Great Red and the Biblical God on friendly terms." Slowly sipping her coffee. "As expected."
Sorry, I totally forgot that I had this here on FF. Here's an update.
