Chapter 30
— So, boy. Ready to get a treasure? —
Brynjolf to Edzard in The Ragged Flagon 203 4E
Edzard was walking down the hall that led to the front door of the penthouse he currently lived in. He had moved out of his old residence after the battle he had against Kokabiel, since he didn't want the devils, the church, or the Grigori looking for him. He had left his little daughter at Issei's house, after his friend left for the academy. He felt bad for not having contacted his friend, but first he had to put his thoughts in order to be able to explain what was happening to him.
When he reached the door, he sighed as he remembered what had happened a few days ago.
Flashback
Edzard and Asia were in the living room sitting on one of the sofas and in front of them were Aika, Valerie and Mittelt. It was already after midnight and fortunately, Marie was sleeping peacefully in her bed. He had just arrived a few hours ago after Nocturnal brought him back to Earth. Fortunately, they had left him in the same place from which he was kidnapped. As soon as he returned, he realized that no one was there, so he quickly left for the hotel where he currently lived. When he arrived he met Asia in the entrance hall, there he told his wife everything that had happened.
After that talk, she told him that it was time to talk to the girls, because they were waiting for him in the room. Hearing that, Edzard felt nervous, because he would rather face an army of daedras with his hands tied and armed with Ysgramor's soup spoon than talk about his feelings with the girls.
"So, Ed. Why have we been brought together today?" Aika asked looking at Edzard.
"Yes. I also want to know the reason?" Mittelt asked.
Edzard sighed before replying. "Girls. Kokabiel no longer exists. I killed him a few hours ago."
Mittelt's eyes widened in surprise. "D-d-did you kill him?"
"Yes, I have killed him. In fact, his soul is here." Edzard replied as he displayed the black soul gem he had used to imprison Kokabiel's soul.
The girls stared at the soul gem in fascination, as they had never seen one in their lives.
"So, his soul is there?" Valerie asked looking at the gem carefully, as it had been a gem similar to the one where her brother's soul had been trapped. Remembering her brother caused her to trace a few fingers over the surface of the ring she wore on the middle finger of her right hand.
"Yes, his soul is trapped here and will remain trapped until I use it to enchant something."
After that answer, the room fell into an awkward silence.
Edzard looked at his companions and then at his wife. Asia nodded seeing her husband's look. Receiving the nod, Edzard took a deep breath and stood up, leaving the room.
The girls looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
"Girls. We have to talk about something." Asia said looking at her friends.
"About what thing?" Valerie asked looking at Asia.
"About what they told me a few days ago." Asia replied with a serious voice.
Aika, Valerie and Mittelt perked up hearing that.
"So, what did you decide?" Mittelt asked expectantly at the answer they would get.
"After thinking about it for the past few days, I have decided that you will be able to enter the family as Edzard's concubines."
"Concubines?" Aika asked confused by the word used by Asia.
"Oh, it's true. We never told them about the traditions of Edzard's people." Asia said with a smile on her face as she remembered that.
"What traditions?" Mittelt asked without understanding what was happening.
"You will see. For the people of Edzard, polygamy is something rare these days, but something that is allowed." Replied Asia with a smile of amusement on her face.
"Waiting. Are you telling me that we didn't have to threaten you to agree to us being with Ed?" Valerie asked.
"So is." Asia replied. "In fact. I knew that sooner or later a woman would try to become Ed's partner, so I was psyching myself up for that day. And if I'm honest, I prefer it to be people I've known for a while and not unknown people."
"Then. What are we now?" Mittelt asked.
"A big and strange family." Edzard replied coming to the living room while he was carrying three small packages in his arms.
When Edzard was in front of the table, he put the packages on the table. He then stood in front of the girls and took a breath before speaking.
"Okay. I really don't know how to tell you this." Edzard said as he scratched the back of his neck, because he was very nervous. "I guess he'll start by being honest with everyone here. The truth is that I have had feelings for you for a few months. I never did anything to show it for fear of hurting Asia's feelings, as I promised her months ago that I would only take women she accepted as concubines. However, a few days ago, she told me that you had a crush on me. That made me happy, so now I formally ask you if you want to join my family as my concubines."
The girls stood still, not knowing how to respond. The time that passed felt like hours to Edzard, but luckily, they began to move. The first to get up was Aika, who slowly approached Edzard and when she was in front of him, she kissed him. The kiss was initially tender, but then increased in intensity as Aika had managed to get her tongue into Edzard's mouth. when they parted, a thin thread of saliva joined them.
"Well. I don't know what the others will say, but I do want to become your concubine." Aika said with a smile as she winked at Edzard.
Valerie looked at what Aika did and slowly got up. When she was in front of Edzard, she walked up to him and kissed him too. Unlike Aika's kiss, Valerie's was more calm and awkward. When they parted, she looked away as she blushed.
The last to approach was Mittelt, who was walking with a completely red face. When she got closer to Edzard, she tried to kiss him, but unfortunately thanks to her small height, it was not easy for her to reach him; however, when she was about to say something to him, Edzard leaned down and captured her lips in a tender kiss. When they parted, Edzard had a smile on his face and Mittelt was so red she didn't know how to respond.
"Okay. I want you to open the packages in the boxes in front of you." Edzard said as he sat back down next to Asia.
The girls looked at the packages and slowly opened them. When the boxes were fully open, her eyes widened and began to fill with tears, because in each box there was a silver ring with Nordic engravings on the bands, but with a unique gem in each one. Aika's wore a gem that seemed to be burning red hot, said gem is called a fire breath opal. Valerie's had a gem as red as blood called Bloodstone. Mittelt's was a blue gem that emitted an aura of magic, which was called Azurite.
The girls took the rings and put them on the ring finger of their left hands. Looking at each other, they all nodded with a smile and jumped at Edzard and ended up hugging him, while also hugging Asia. As they hugged each other, they all laughed happily. When the girls stopped hugging Edzard, Asia got up and sat on her husband's lap and when the rest of the girls were about to protest, they were interrupted by a sleepy Marie, who had walked into the living room in her pajamas while hugging her dragon plush.
The little girl was looking at her father, who had her mom on his lap, but he was also hugging Aika and Valerie, while Mittelt hugged him from behind. Her brain began to think about what was happening. Thanks to her physiognomy as a dragon, her mind was more adult than her body, so she was able to understand a little of what was happening. So with small steps, she approached her mother and looking at her father, she spoke up.
"Dad. When will my new brothers or sisters arrive?" The little girl innocently asked.
Edzard's and the girls' faces blushed as even perverted Aika didn't know how to respond to that.
"M-M-Marie. W-w-why do you ask that?" Asia stuttered.
"Okay. Aunt Aela and Aunt Serana said that I arrived a few days after you and Dad became a couple. And I see that Aika, Valerie and Mittelt have become daddy's partners, so it's normal for me to expect the arrival of younger brothers or sisters, right?
They all stood still without saying anything as they didn't know how to answer Marie's question.
End Flashback
Stopping remembering that, Edzard opened the door and entered the penthouse. Once inside his temporary home, he walked to the kitchen, since, having left early, he hadn't had breakfast.
"Oh. Looks like they left me something to eat." Edzard said when he saw that there were some pancakes on the table.
With a smile on his face, he sat down and calmly ate the pancakes with strawberry jam. The pancakes were very good, which meant that it was Asia who did the cooking, since Aika, Valerie and Mittelt were not that good cooks. Especially Mittelt and Valerie, since Aika could cook decent food.
When he finished eating, he saw that there was a half-empty bottle of wine in the center of the entire table.
'A bottle of wine? Have the girls been drinking?' Edzard thought a little confused, since none of them used to drink alcoholic beverages. In fact, the only one who ever drank alcohol was Mittelt. So he curiously approached the bottle and uncorked it. Pouring some into a glass, he quickly downed the contents. A smile spread across his face as the sweet taste of wine reached his palate. He quickly finished the contents of the glass and refilled it. He did this for quite a while until he finally finished drinking the contents of the bottle.
'Dammit. That wine is really strong.' Thought Edzard as he put his hand to his head, because he felt dizzy and his body also felt slightly numb. 'I think this is what I get for giving up drinking like I did in Nirm.'
He thought this because Asia had made him stop drinking so much alcohol, since according to his wife, that kind of behavior was not allowed until you were eighteen. So, in order to better integrate into the culture of Earth, he decided to stop drinking.
Getting up from his seat, Edzard decided to walk to his bed to rest until the effects of the alcohol wore off. Unfortunately, he did not know that what he had ingested was not an ordinary wine, since unbeknownst to him, on the label there was a small black rose imprinted with the words desire written in Daedric runes.
As he walked towards his room, Edzard stumbled slightly as he used the walls for support to keep from falling. When he got to his room, he heard muffled moans, so opening the door quickly his jaw dropped and his eyes widened in surprise as he saw what was going on in his room.
In his bed were his four lovers and they were as dressed as when they came into the world. There he discovered that the muffled moans he had heard were from Asia, who had Valerie sucking on her right nipple and Mittelt doing the same on her left. Also, both girls had a hand on their crotch as they were playing with themselves. Finally, Aika was sitting with her head between Asia's legs as she performed oral sex on her friend.
Edzard's heartbeat began to increase, his mind began to go blank, and blood began to rush to his lower body. Slowly, a wild smile spread across his face as his eyes turned gold. With slow and determined steps he began to walk towards the girls. The girls didn't seem to hear him, but he didn't know if it was because of his ability to walk silently when he wanted or because they were too focused on this little world of fun.
"~Ahhh~" Asia moaned as she felt Aika's tongue graze the outer lips of her pussy. "~Girls. Stop...~"
"But you're enjoying it a lot." Aika said once she stopped licking Asia's pussy. She then started to kiss Asia's belly and slowly started to climb up. When she was about to kiss Asia on her lips, she felt two hands touch her breasts.
"~Ahhh~" Aika moaned as she felt her left breast being squeezed and her right nipple gently squeezed.
"Sorry. But the only one who can kiss Asia is me." Edzard said as he stopped pulling on Aika's nipple and brought his hand to his lover's crotch. Once his hand was there, he slowly slipped two fingers into her pussy. Slowly, he began to move his fingers, causing Aika to start moaning.
"~Ahh~ Ed." Asia said between a moan as Valerie gently bit her nipple.
Edzard looked up and approaching his wife, captured her lips in a kiss. Entering his tongue into Asia's mouth, Edzard and his wife began a battle for dominance, which was easily won by Edzard. When they parted, Edzard looked at the girls and spoke.
"Mittelt, Val. Keep entertaining my wife and yourselves. I'll go with you soon, but I have to take care of this pervert first."
After saying that, Edzard began to move his fingers inside Aika's pussy with more force, making the brunette moan louder. He kept moving his fingers until he felt them getting quite wet. Sensing that she was ready, he scooped her up in his arms and started walking towards the wall. When he arrived, he set Aika down and pushed her until she was leaning against the wall.
"You were always making perverted comments and making advances on me. I hope you're ready for what's to come." Edzard said as he started giving Aika small kisses on her neck.
"~Ahhh~ I've been ready for a long time, Ed." Aika said between moans.
"I see. Then let's get started."
Saying that, Edzard took his cock in his hands and aligned it with Aika's entrance. He slowly pushed his hips up and began to penetrate her. He paused for a few seconds when he felt a barrier, but then he gave a single push and broke Aika's hymen.
Aika's mouth fell open and she let out a silent moan as she felt her virginity finally gone. Although she should feel pain from the loss of her V card, this was not the case, as her body was very sensitive to pleasure thanks to the aphrodisiac effect of the wine she had drunk earlier. Slowly, her voice sounded again as moans escaped her mouth to the rhythm of Edzard's thrusts.
Edzard began to move slowly and gently at first, as he was afraid of hurting Aika; however, after a few minutes, he began to increase the speed of his thrusts.
"~Ahh~ ~It's, faster. Harder~" Aika moaned asking Edzard to increase the speed and force with which they copulated. "~I want you to destroy me~"
Aika's words made Edzard start moving harder and faster. This made Aika start moaning louder, causing her moans to overshadow Asia's moans.
"~Yes, Ed! Follow!" Aika yelled with a smile as she felt Edzard's cock make a mess inside her. She moaned again when Edzard took hold of her breasts and began to squeeze them.
"Damn it, Aika. I'm about to cum." Edzard said through clenched teeth.
"Me too Ed! I'm about to cum too!" Aika yelled. "Together, let's cum together!"
Edzard increased the speed of her thrusts, and gripping Aika's hips tightly, he gave one last thrust and ended up cumming inside her.
"Hey!" Aika screamed having an orgasm. A small smile formed on her face as she felt Edzard's semen enter her uterus. When she was about to say something, she fell silent, as she felt Edzard bite her on the right shoulder. His bite caused a current of pleasure to course through her body, making her mind go blank and ultimately causing unconsciousness to claim her.
Aika's body fell, but never hit the ground, as Edzard had caught her. Walking, he gently laid her down on the bed. With one girl less, Edzard approached Valerie and pulling her away from Asia's nipple, he kissed her. The kiss was intense from the start. When they parted, Edzard pushed Valerie onto the bed and began kissing her abdomen. He slowly continued to lower himself until he reached her crotch.
"~Ahhhh~" Valerie moaned as she felt Edzard's tongue on her pussy.
Edzard continued to lick Valerie's pussy until he saw that she was wet enough to continue. Pulling her gently, Edzard set Valerie on the edge of the bed and hovering over her, aimed his cock at the cleft of her vagina. Looking at each other, they both kissed while Edzard slowly entered her. Unlike Aika, Valerie did let out a small moan of pain when she lost her virginity.
Realizing this, Edzard tried to get out of her to give her some time for the pain to pass, but Valerie crossed her legs and made Edzard go back inside her.
"No, Ed. Go on. Please go on." Valerie said with small tears in her eyes.
Seeing her like this, Edzard nodded and began to move slowly.
"~Ahh~" Valerie moaned as she felt how this position made Edzard go deep inside her. In fact, Edzard's thrusts began to make her more and more excited. So she, without warning, brought her face close to Edzard's neck and with a quick movement sank her fangs into him. When Valerie took her first taste of Edzard's blood, she started to feel weird. First, her body began to heat up more. Second, her mind began to go blank. Third, she felt like an electric current began to run through her body. And finally, she felt a great amount of pleasure, which ended up rendering her unconscious.
"You're tighter than you were a second ago, Val." Edzard growled as he felt Valerie's vaginal walls begin to tighten around his cock.
"~Oh…~" were the only words Valerie said, as her mind had completely vanished thanks to Edzard's blood being saturated with a large amount of the aphrodisiac created by Sanguine himself.
Seeing that Valerie was unconscious, Edzard decided to increase the speed and force of his thrusts. The sound of meat colliding grew louder as Edzard increased the force and speed of his thrusts against Valerie, who could barely moan. When Edzard sensed that he was about to climax, he increased the speed of his thrusts.
Edzard let out a bestial growl as he filled Valerie's womb with his semen. After growling, Edzard also bit Valerie's shoulder, which she reacted with spasms in her whole body, because she just had another orgasm.
Seeing Valerie unconscious as well, Edzard left her beside Aika and walked over to Mittelt, who had stopped playing with Asia and was now playing with herself.
"Now it's your turn, my little fallen angel." Edzard said as he picked up Mittelt. Taking her by the bottom, he penetrated her suddenly without giving her any previous stimulation, since he had noticed that she was already wet.
"~Ahhh. ~" Mittelt moaned as Edzard began to move her up and down on his cock.
Edzard started to groan as he kept moving Mittelt up and down on his cock thanks to her small body making it tighter than normal. But that didn't bother him at all.
"~Ah...don't stop, go on, Ed~" Mittelt moaned as she felt Edzard stop bouncing her on his cock.
Edzard came out from inside Mittelt and made her get on all fours on the floor. When he had her in that position, he re-entered her while he used his right hand to force her head to the ground. This position made Edzard feel better inside Mittelt, so he increased the force with which he penetrated her.
Edzard's thrusts were so strong that the little fallen angel began to grimace in pain. Without warning, Edzard grabbed Mittelt's arms and used them as leverage to start going harder.
"Please, Ed. Take it slower. I feel like you're ripping me in half." Mittelt said with small tears forming in her eyes as she felt that her body would be divided by the force that Edzard was using.
Hearing his lover's words, Edzard let go of Mittelt's arms and began to decrease the force with which he penetrated her. Bringing his hands to Mittelt's small breasts, Edzard began to gently squeeze them as he slowly penetrated her.
"~Ahh~ ~Yeah, keep it up. I really like how you're doing it to me now~" Mittelt moaned as a smile graced her face.
Edzard kept moving his hips for a few more minutes without changing the rhythm of his thrusts during that time.
"I'm about to cum, Edzard!" Mittelt cried out as she felt her climax nearing.
Hearing those words, Edzard increased his speed until he felt Mittelt's inner walls tightening on him, causing him to orgasm as well.
"Cumming!" Mittelt yelled as she felt a huge orgasm.
Edzard grunted as he filled Mittelt's entire interior with as much sperm as he could. At the same moment he did, he brought his head close to Mittelt's right shoulder and took a bite.
In the end, as with the other girls, Mittelt also fell unconscious. Seeing that, Edzard also picked her up and put her on the bed with the other girls so she could rest.
"~Ed~"
Asia's voice charged with sensuality made Edzard turn around and see his wife. With a smile on his face, Edzard walked over to her and kissed her. As they kissed, Edzard placed Asia on the bed and while they were being surrounded by the unconscious bodies of Edzard's concubines, they both began to make passionate love until the sun went down.
While Edzard and his wife were enjoying themselves, they never noticed that they were being watched by a Prince, who was grinning from ear to ear while holding a bottle of brandy in his hand.
"Hahaha!" Sanguine laughed happily when he saw how Edzard fell prey to the effects of one of his pranks.
"Oh, little Ed. I never thought you would have such a stamina to have so many women at the same time, but considering you're not human anymore, well, that's more than normal. Now…. What another prank should I play on you? Make you and your lovers go like rabbits in heat in front of many people? Or should I mess with your friend? Hmm…. So many possibilities and so little time."
As Sanguine kept thinking about what prank to play on Edzard, a powerful aura was felt. This made Sanguine's eyes widen in shock and horror as he felt someone with great power approaching. The kind of power that being exuded was Daedric type, so it was very possible that he was a prince. Now, which of all would he be? Well, that remained to be seen.
'Shit. Please don't let it be Jyggalag.' The prince of excesses thought with fear; however, he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was not the prince of order, but rather his counterpart, the prince of madness.
"By Padomay, Sheogorath. You almost scared me to death." Sanguine said jokingly.
The prince of madness put on a mocking smile. "It would be fun to see you die like that, Sanguine."
"That's cold, old man." Sanguine said turning his attention back to his brandy. "What brings you here?"
"Oh. Nothing important. I just want to visit a friend."
"You are saner than normal. Is something interesting happening?"
"Ooh. Nothing the truth. I just feel like eating cheese and seeing what little Edzard does."
"Well, he doesn't do anything out of the ordinary. You know, kill some jerks who piss him off, sleep with his lover, but now I guess they're lovers since there are four of them. You get me, the typical thing humans his age would do." Sanguine answered looking at Edzard, but then he looked at Sheogorath as he heard him hit the ground with his staff.
"What's wrong, Sheogorath?" asked Sanguine intrigued by the smile that had formed on the face of the prince of madness.
"Tell me, Sanguine. What do you think if I tell you that we can do something that will piss off little Edzard quite a bit?" Sheogorath replied as his eyes flashed with madness.
"Oh. My old friend. You are speaking my language. I hear you."
Issei was walking through the halls of Kuoh Academy carrying a sculpture of Rias made of PVC. Two days had already passed since he met the Hakuryuukou. After a short conversation where the White Dragon questioned them about what had happened with Kokabiel, he left saying that he was disappointed in Issei's level of power. Although normally those words would have made him angry, his mind was more focused on what he had just seen, as he had seen his friend being swallowed by a dark looking purple portal.
He had spent the whole night so worried about how he would tell Asia that her husband had disappeared after fighting with a supernatural being. Although a part of him suspected that she knew about devils and this was confirmed when Rias had told him about how a few months ago she had planned to give Asia the option of her being reincarnated as a devil. So the next day, after school, he went to see Edzard's family at the hotel where they were staying, but he couldn't find them. According to the receptionist, the hotel attic had been vacated on the morning of that same day. So in the end, he couldn't talk to his friend's family.
As he was walking, Issei felt a small ball of paper hit him on the head. Searching for the attacker, he was shocked to see Edzard pointing a finger at the roof. Understanding what his friend meant, he quickly headed to that place. When he arrived, he saw Edzard sitting up as he leaned his back against the railing on the roof. Seeing him sitting there as if nothing had happened, Issei got angry and charged at Edzard with the intention of giving him a good blow; however, when he was a few meters away, he felt his body turn and then felt pain when he ended up hitting the roof floor.
"I'm glad to see you too, Issei." Edzard said with an amused smile on his face. Issei's blow had been so slow that he was able to grab him and with a quick movement he lifted him up and made his body turn three hundred and sixty degrees more than seven times before he finally fell to the ground. Seeing the PVC figure fly, he decided to take it and leave it in a safe place.
Issei looked up and saw Edzard's hand outstretched. Without thinking twice, he took it and stood up.
"Sorry about that, Issei." Edzard said looking as his friend dusted himself off.
"Do not worry. Ahhh… I forgot that you were stronger than me." Issei said as he rubbed his back, then looked at Edzard. "I looked for Asia-san the day after the battle to inform her about your disappearance. But I didn't find her in the penthouse."
Hearing that, Edzard sighed and sat down again. To then beckon Issei to sit next to him. Issei nodded and sat next to Edzard.
"I'm sorry for that, but I'm taking my family to another place to be calmer." Edzard said looking at the sky. "By the way, how is your club?"
"Well. In fact, Buchou wants to talk to you to thank you for helping us and to ask you some questions." Issei said looking at the sky too. After a few seconds, she remembered something important. "Hey, Ed. Thanks for the scrolls, they helped me a lot."
Edzard looked at Issei and sighed, as he understood that Rias Gremory and Sona Sitri had many doubts about him. And although he wanted to answer them something, he knew that they would go with their leaders to tell them what he told them and that would make his family under the gaze of the Maous.
"I know they have doubts, but I don't want to give them information about me. Not for now, at least." Edzard replied. "And about the scrolls, you don't have to thank me. I gave them to you to help you with any problem you might have. And I'm glad they did their job, since they helped you beat Rias Gremory's fiancé, right?"
"How do you know that?" Issei asked surprised that Edzard knew about that.
Edzard smiled mockingly. "I bought a newspaper that contained information about many current events in the underworld."
"They sell newspapers from the underworld on Earth!" Issei yelled astonished by that news, since he never expected something like this to happen.
"Yes. They are not easy to get, but I managed to get one. That's how I found out they had won."
"I see. Hey, Ed. There's something I have to tell you." Issei said with a serious look, which was very unusual for him.
Edzard blinked in confusion at that, since it was the first time he had seen Issei so serious.
"Ed. The scrolls reduced my life expectancy by three hundred years."
Edzard's eyes widened in surprise upon hearing that.
'What?! How is that possible?' Edzard thought worried, because he never expected something like that. Deciding not to remain in doubt because of what his friend had told him, he got up and approached Issei. Reaching out his hand, he decided to use a vitality analysis spell, but when he was about to cast the spell, a new voice spoke up.
[Stop, boy. If you use that magic on my partner, you will hurt him.]
Edzard blinked when he saw how a green circle shone on Issei's hand.
"Issei. Am I crazy or did your hand just speak?" Edzard asked looking at Issei's hand with confusion and a little concern for his sanity.
"You're not crazy, Ed. This is Draig and he is the dragon that lives in my sacred gear." Issei said with a smile seeing Edzard surprised for the first time.
"Waiting. Is that the Red Dragon Emperor?"
"Yes." Issei replied amazed that Edzard knew that Draig was the Red Dragon Emperor.
Edzard looked at Issei's hand and spoke. "It really is nice to meet one of the two Heavenly Dragons. And I feel sorry for you being stuck with Issei."
"Hey!" Issei yelled feeling offended by what Edzard said.
As Issei gave Edzard an annoyed look, Draig responded to Edzard's statement with an amused laugh. This laugh made Edzard and Issei end up laughing too.
"I think we should go back to the original part of the conversation." Edzard said, stopping laughing and becoming serious. "Why did you say that my magic would hurt Issei?"
[Your magic is very similar to holy magic.]
The dragon's response made Edzard understand what was happening.
'It seems that restoration magic is Nirm's equivalent of holy magic.' Edzard thought as he was inwardly grateful that he didn't use restoration magic to heal the devils when they fought Kokabiel. 'This is good to know. Now I know what kind of magic can do the most damage to them.'
When Edzard was about to say something else, he stopped as he smelled someone he had recently met. Turning his head, he spoke. "Issei. Why do I smell Xenovia with the rest of the ORC?"
"Oh. About that, she turned into a devil." Issei replied scratching the back of his neck.
"I see. I guess she was excommunicated for knowing about God's death, right?"
"How-" Issei asked only to be interrupted.
"How do I know? Well, it's easy if you think about it in hindsight. The news could create division among the faithful of the Christian church causing it to weaken." Edzard said looking at his friend. "Also, remember that Kokabiel mentioned a system. It is possible that with the death of God that system is very weakened, so any kind of interference like someone who knows about the death of God would cause the system to fail, causing the death of the angels or something similar."
Edzard's quick response amazed Issei.
"I see. It seems that you are able to understand and deduce what happens quickly, Ed." Issei said with a bit of jealousy in his voice. "Sometimes I wish I was like you."
"Believe me Issei. You don't want to be like me." Edzard said looking at his friend.
"Why do you say that?" Issei asked confused by what his friend said.
"My life is not as simple or easy as you think. My life has never been rosy since I lost my parents. I've been through a lot, especially when I was between thirteen and fourteen years old. And if I'm honest, I don't like to talk about that time." Edzard said as his eyes turned dark and he clenched his teeth remembering his failures in those days.
Issei saw the expression that Edzard made and decided not to ask him more about his past. So, turning his head, he cast his gaze over the academy and saw some kouhai coming out of the library with some books. That made him remember something.
"Ed. I found out something interesting about one of my clients as a devil."
Edzard raised an eyebrow in confusion. "Seriously? What did you discover?
"Well, you see…"
Flashback
The sound of buttons being pressed was accompanied by moans from women, which sounded through the speakers of a television screen, which was showing a fighting game.
"Damn, I've lost again!" Issei yelled as he watched his character's life bar drop to zero.
"Of course. I have been practicing a lot in order to defeat you." Said a man dressed in a gray yukata as he smiled. This man was tall and appeared to be in his early twenties with an average build, violet eyes, black hair with rare golden bangs, and a black goatee. "Actually, this is possible because we haven't seen each other for a while."
"I'm sorry about that. But I have been very busy these past few days." Issei said with an apologetic smile as he scratched the back of his neck. Looking around the room, his gaze fell on several shelves filled with different consoles. "The truth is that it amazes me how much you have become hooked on this. You have managed to get consoles of all types and eras."
"Hahaha. You're right. It's a habit I've had for a long time. People often tell me that I get too excited about collecting things."
"I see. Wait, that rings a bell to me." Issei said as he felt dejavü.
"I guess these days must have been very busy for you, right?" the man asked as he took a drink from his glass, which had a bit of whiskey in it.
"You have no idea."
"You are right. After all, it's not every day that you discover that your friend is extremely more powerful than you. You don't think so, Sekiryuutei." The man said as he stood up. Then, grinning from ear to ear, he unfurled twelve feathery wings the same color as a starless night. "I guess I should introduce myself properly. Nice to meet you, Sekiryuutei. My name is Azazel and I am the leader of the Fallen Angels."
Issei's eyes widened at the revelation. Taking a few steps back, he asked fearfully. "A-a-are you the leader of the Fallen Angels?"
"I just revealed it to you a few seconds ago." Azazel said with amusement.
"Wait. How do you know about Edzard?" Issei asked worried that his friend belonged to the Fallen Angels faction.
"That's very easy. Just like you I know Edzard, in fact, I am the boss of him."
"So he…"
"No. It does not belong to the Grigori." Azazel interrupted Issei. "Like you, he has also cheated on me."
"Then why do you say that you are Edzard's boss?"
Azazel walked over to one of the shelves and picked up a book. Going back to Issei, he handed the book to him. Issei took the book and examined it. The book was not very thick, about three hundred pages at most. It had a very strange cover that showed five people on it.
"Tales of a Hero, The Eternal Champion." Issei read the title out loud. Turning the book over, he began to read the description. "The Emperor has been betrayed and imprisoned by his battlemage. The fate of an empire rests in the hands of a prisoner who must travel across the continent in search of a solution."
Issei looked at Azazel as he finished reading the description of the book's plot. He didn't understand that he had to see that book with Edzard.
"Read the name of the author." Azazel said seeing the confusion on Issei's face.
Issei focused his gaze on the author's name and his eyes widened again seeing Edzard's name there.
'He mentioned that he was a writer a while ago; however, I never saw any of his books.' Issei thought looking at the book.
"You can keep the book. I can request another one, after all it is the Grigori publishing house that prints and distributes this saga."
Issei looked at Azazel and quickly put the book in his pocket.
End Flashback
"Hahaha! So your regular customer was Azazel." Edzard said as he laughed amused at seeing Issei's face of fear.
"Dammit! Why are you laughing?!" Issei shouted offended seeing Edzard laugh. "I could have died!"
"Hahaha! I do not believe it." Edzard said as he wiped a tear from his eye. "Azazel would not kill you. Maybe he just dissected you alive and then dumped your body in a sewer."
Issei trembled in fear as he imagined being open like a frog in a biology class.
Both friends stayed in a comfortable silence, which was broken by Issei when he remembered something important that Vali had told him when he had seen him a few days ago. Turning his head, he told Edzard everything.
"A meeting between the three biblical factions..." Edzard said looking at the sky.
"Will you attend?" Issei asked.
Edzard looked at Issei and began to think about the pros and cons of attending and missing. He thought for a long time, until he finally decided to attend, because as much as he didn't want to, there could be a Daedric invasion very soon and the best way to defend Earth was to form an alliance with the various supernatural factions that inhabited this universe. . And attending this meeting could be the first step to achieve this.
"Yes, I will attend. There are some things I want to know." Edzard replied as he looked at Issei. "Also, it is possible that the leaders of the three factions know that I killed Kokabiel and want to know about me. So it would kill several birds with one stone. So, I guess I'll see you on the day of the meeting. Goodbye, Issei."
After saying that, Edzard jumped over the railing that protected the roof and when he was about to hit the ground, he leaned against the wall and disappeared in a burst of speed that generated a gust of air that ended up lifting the skirts of the girls who by there they walked, causing many men to have several nasal spills
Issei put on a perverted smile when he saw the gift that Edzard had unconsciously given him, so keeping those beautiful images in his mind he took his PVC figure and ran towards the old academy building.
Boom!
A huge explosion was heard in the middle of the forest in the vicinity of Kuoh Town.
In a clearing, two people could be seen standing together. The first was Edzard, who was looking at the destruction in front of him. And it is that in front of his eyes there was a scene of great destruction, where there were many trees thrown everywhere. These trees had been uprooted by the person in front of him.
"You've done well, Marie." Edzard said as he watched his little daughter sitting as she took several deep breaths.
"T-thank you, dad." Marie said with her voice a little dull, because her vocal chords were a little irritated from all the training she had had this morning.
"Now, remind me what you have to do."
"I take in air and accumulate it in my lungs. Then I think of the word and internalize its power and meaning. I accumulate the magic in my throat and finally shout with all my might." Maire said as she looked at her father.
"Very good." Edzard said with a smile looking at his little girl. "Can you cast another thu'um again?"
Marie nodded and slowly stood up. Fixing her gaze on another group of trees, she took a deep breath and shouted loudly. "FUS! RO!"
The thu'um caused a great wave made of pure energy to come out of Marie's mouth, which quickly headed towards the trees. When this wave hit the trees, it uprooted them and sent them flying several meters.
Edzard smiled at the power his daughter could unleash with the two words of the thu'um of unrelenting force. Although he and Asia had decided to start Marie's training when she was a little older, that changed thanks to the actions of Kokabiel's minions. That made her see that there might be times when none of them are there to protect her, so they decided that the best thing for her would be to teach her to use one or two words from one or two shouts.
"Well done Marie." Edzard said looking at his daughter. "Now I am going to teach you the first word of another shout. Are you ready?"
Marie's eyes sparkled with excitement as she heard her father teach her another shout. So smiling, she began to nod excitedly.
The sun was up as Edzard leaned on his best sword. His body was drenched in sweat, the result of the incredible mental and physical effort it had taken him to accomplish what he had just done.
"I have done it. I finally made it." Edzard said with emotion seeing the structure that the forehead had. "It took time and a lot of magic, but I finally managed to complete this."
Saying that, Edzard stood up and started walking towards the structure. After walking for a few minutes, he arrived at the place he was looking for. That place was a forge, which had all the tools he needed for what he planned to do. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out several sheets of paper.
"Well. I have two days to complete all these projects before the meeting takes place." Edzard said looking at the designs on the leaves. "Luckily I have almost everything ready, only the assemblies of the special materials are missing and everything will be ready."
Edzard had been cautious and had completed all the previous preparations beforehand. So now he was only in the final steps.
"There is no time to lose." Edzard took a hammer and set the forge to work to complete the projects he had in mind.
Edzard, Asia, Aika, Valerie and Mittelt were sitting in the main room of the penthouse as they waited for the moment when they were to leave for the meeting of the Biblical factions. It had already been more than two weeks since Kokabiel's death and a full week since the girls woke up after falling into a coma thanks to receiving Edzard's blessing.
As with Asia, the girls had undergone some physical changes such as the growth of their breasts, buttocks, height and some changes in their eyes such as the vertical pupils in Aika's and Mittelt's eyes, this change was not noticeable in Valerie, because she already had vertical pupils before. Although, that was not all, as everyone felt an increase in their magical power, be it holy power or magic; however, Aika's Magicka reserves did not increase, plus neither Valerie nor Mittelt had access to this energy.
"I'm bored. Ed, how much more to go?" Mittelt asked as she swung her legs, although she had grown, she was still no more than five feet tall.
"About fifteen minutes." Edzard replied looking at Mittelt. "Are you ready to see Azazel again?"
"The truth, no. I am very nervous and I don't know what will happen." Mittelt answered putting her head in her hands as she began to panic.
Edzard smiled fondly seeing how Mittelt acted. "Don't worry, I won't let anyone hurt you."
Mittelt stopped panicking and blushed as she looked away. Aika and Valerie pouted upon hearing those words.
"And us, Ed?" Aika asked looking at Edzard.
"Will you also protect us?" Valerie asked looking at Edzard.
Edzard grinned from ear to ear when he understood what was happening. Shaking his head, he smirked at the girls' jealousy. "Of course. If anyone dares to harm them, I will destroy them."
After saying that, Edzard hugged Asia tighter, who was sitting on Edzard's lap while resting her head on his neck. She opened her eyes as she heard the beep of the wall clock in the room. Standing up, she spoke.
"Looks like it's time." Asia said looking at the clock, which already marked the designated time for the start of the meeting.
"So it seems." Edzard said getting up as he saw the rest of the girls get up from their places. Smiling, he spoke. "Well, girls. What do you say, do we make a grand entrance?"
The girls smiled and nodded at what Edzard said.
Smiling with his girls, Edzard raised his hand and using his shadowkey created a portal.
"Let's go." Edzard said as he started walking towards the portal, being followed by Asia, Aika, Valerie and Mittelt.
Author's note:
To those who have made it this far, Thanks for reading. Because being honest, I don't know how to write much in English and I'm relying on Google translators and the dictionaries that come with office 2019.
And here it is, another lemon. I think I should mark the lemons with a warning, XD.
And as always, the good Sanguine giving Edzard a hand, that is a good friend. About the joke of Sheogorath and Sanguine, I'm still thinking about it, so it won't appear for several chapters, and when I say several it means several chapters later. Now, I have maybe some good news for you, and no, it's not that the weekly updates are coming back, but the next update will be three weeks from now. And they will say, what's so good about it... well, it won't be a chapter, but rather three in one, because so far I've been writing more than 22k words as a draft. T.T.
Dayside: Thanks for the review. XD
I feel like you're right about the plot being a bit loose, but that's what I need for now, but I'll take your advice and try to make the plot feel more solid in later chapters. And about the personalities, well, none of them are serial killers, yet…. XD
holosagewolf32: Thanks for the review. I don't know if it's normal, but I read your review with platelet-chan's voice in my mind. XD
Now, about Durnehviir, he will appear, but it will be many chapters later. If I'm honest, Edzard's three "older brothers" will appear in a few chapters far ahead. And no, Edzard will not summon them, they will arrive there for a specific reason. XD
tsun: Thanks for the review. I understand you, I also hate the original canon a bit, but I need to keep a bit of the original timeline until after Kyoto, from there, the canon I will completely throw it away. That is not to say that I will follow it to the letter until then, as there will be some slight but important changes. XD
And about nerfing the thu'um, it was necessary for now, but you'll see that later things will be a little better again. Also, one thing is to use thu'um in human form and the other in dragon form, things change a lot there. XD
Shadow55: Thanks for the review.
Well, I apologize for any misspelling. Do not forget to leave a review if you liked the chapter or if there is something that needs to be improved or if you have any questions about the story. With nothing more to say, until the next chapter.
