Mr. Katsu, It is still yours, they are dancing to my tunes though.

Once the weekend was over, everything settled down. Most of my short-term goals are reached, now it is time to see what Earth has in store for me.
32 Bhutan.
Eliminating the headquarters of the Chinese Mafia gave us some breathing room, it was the second day without them guarding our apartment, we still have the guard dogs of Nancy's Mother watching us though. Not that it matters to us, we can ditch them whenever we want.
With my Beacons in our apartment and Workshop active, there is nothing that escapes my attention. The cleaning crew was infiltrated by Nancy's Mother's people. Meh, they can't find anything, everything is in our [Storage Bracelet, even when they found the bracelet, they were blood-bound so they are simple bracelets to the cleaning crew.
My days are filled to the brim lately, in the morning I assisted Nancy, she is planning two branches in our Country. Knowing the language made her more confident to have it under control, the success of her first store and Ringo's exclusive jewelry got the OK from the Board of Directors.
After Lunch, I traveled to the other World, the Paper Mill and Printing Press needed some finishing touches before we could start producing our Manuals. We hired a team for the Printing Press, friends of Henley and Kalani, our stewards of our Second Base, teaching them how the Printing Press works was hard work. Even with this old model, it was way out of their league, operating it could compare as if we would fly an airplane without being taught.
Setting the print plates and correcting spelling faults was a nightmare until Yuri pointed me to a device that could set the templates by typing the lines. The problem is that they are Museum pieces, and there is no second hand on the market… It so happened that a Museum was robbed a few nights later, they did leave some gold bars behind, more than enough to compensate for their loss.
The sad part is that Ringo needs to do the templates for the letters again; the Delaidos alphabet is completely different from ours. We outsourced the casting of the letters, to give Ringo a rest. That way, the Printing Department needed the complete basement floor.
We estimate that the first books will be ready next week. Aya, Mai, and Yurie worked together to write the Manuals for Fire, Water, Earth, and Wind, when we approved them, they started on Ice, Lighting, Body Reinforcement, and Restoration. I will write the Light and Darkness Manuals myself. I will delay the Space-Time and Information Magic for now, both are too complicated and are our Ace in the Hole.
I return to prepare dinner for everyone, while the students do their homework, I keep it fresh in my [Inventory] until all the girls are home, occasionally Nancy's Mother crashes the party to have a good meal or to nag on my head to spill my secrets. When the kids return to their home, we end the day with a good shag. Yep, that is how I spend my days lately.

One day when Nancy's Mum visited, I showed her what I discovered, "With [Map, [Search, [Vigilance, and [Future Prediction, I searched Earth for [Magic Stone Ore]. With that I spotted the Mine in Bhutan, here, am I right that this is where you get your Ore from?"
Nancy's Mother frowned, "Yes it is. That location was supposed to be kept a secret."
I shrugged, "It is not a secret anymore, I placed an [Beacon] at the Mine, lately bandits or guerrilla fighters are moving in and taking control over the mine. Do you want me to take action before they loot that place?"
I showed the recordings from the [Beacon] to Mother-in-Law… no, I doubt Nancy will join the Harem, friends with benefits at most.
Nancy's Mother asked, "They have new equipment, those are not some local bandits, they are organized like a professional mercenary team. Are you certain you can handle them?"
I nodded, "Easy, I'll deal with them like I dealt with the Mafiosi here. But that is not all, See here in Beijing, that building has fifty of them in a safe. In Sint Petersburg, Russia, there are some too. They are experimenting with them. There are [Magic Stones] among the Ores too, it means they have a way to refine them."
My [Information Magic] is overpowered, with the help of Ori, I can find the smallest thing, as long as I have a mental picture of that thing. That Hacker that blocked Ori has some superior skills to be able to block her like that.
That brings me to the next worrying thought, "I fear someone from the other world got here accidentally or deliberately and got caught or is working together with Russia or China."
Nancy's Mother shook her head, "No, not China's Government, they don't trust their Mafia. Russia neither, those are private organizations."
I grinned at Nancy's Mother, "Then I suggest you return to America, plausible deniability and stuff, you know. We will deal with it."
Nancy butted in, "You can go home, Mother. Seiji will handle it for us."

When Nancy's Mother left, we talked it over, I questioned, "I find that [Hero Summoning] suspicious, why did the King summon me? What happened with that Magician that Summoned me? Did he summon others too? The moment I refused to put that [Slave Collar] on, he faded to the background and disappeared."
I showed the Summoning, "I viewed the recordings a couple of times, the moment I commented about the [Slave Collar]… see? There he goes. I bet he cut his losses the moment I saw through their schemes. Heroes are hard to handle after all."
Elena speculated, "It is possible they wanted a way into this world, a slave that can transport them here is priceless. Once it failed, they cut their losses, that is why Father demanded Lyle Gewalt to kill you."
Elena looked at me, "A [Hero Summoning] has requirements, it has to be done in front of a king in the throne room. Part of the summoning is to set the age and social status of the Hero. Legends said that some Heroes wrecked the nation that summoned them in revenge for ripping them away from their loved ones. The demand for your Summoning was Thirty years old and Single to be summoned."
Aya swore, "Most males that are thirty years old and single are weak, have issues, or are violent. Seiji is an exception. Maybe that is why he got selected."
Lela remarked, "Our country is the only one willing to Summon a Hero, other countries are stronger. Summoning a Hero is a risk, if the Hero becomes too strong he could become a danger for the Rulers… like Seiji is now for your Father, Elena. Heroes bring change to the world as Seiji proved already."
Inari chuckled, "Seiji brought change alright, one more Tail and I am the first Nine Tails in a thousand years. Kacha will be the first Royal Tiger in a Millennia too. All thanks to our Hero. The Leopard King is shaking in his boots already, he knows we are coming to challenge him."
Kacha smiled, "We are coming home in style," She looked at me, "I hope you don't mind, Seiji, we plan to kill the Dragon on level 28 ourselves so we can tell everyone that the Dragon Leather clothes we wear are from our kill."
"I understand," I said, "that will send a strong message to the Beast Nation. I will record the fight, there must be a way to show it to the public without me being there. A necklace with Dragon teeth is impressive too, don't you think?"
Aya got in the mood too, "A Dragon Skull in the [Hero Magic Shop]! Behind Lydia's counter, that will impress the locals and keep them friendly."
Elena nodded, "Aya is right, we need a trophy room to display our achievements. The armor of the Goblin King, for example, is some proof of the bosses we killed in the Tower of Sunrise, the recordings of those fights would add to our reputation."
Yurie dreamily sighed, "Recordings of our nights in a separate room, I vote for that."
Mai straddled Yurie's lap and unbuttoned her shirt, "That would be great, Yurie, but I prefer life action. Today was your turn for the [Royal Treatment] wasn't it? Girls? A hand, please? Some lips? Seiji, prepare to fuck this kinky slut, make it a good recording."
Hilda stood up, "Goodnight everyone, have fun," she said while she went to her room, Hilda mumbled, "I have to learn [Tracking Magic], with a Beacon on brother Seiji, I could watch them from my room."
I heard that… Meh, she entered puberty, it is natural to be curious, I sure as hell won't teach her [Tracking] though.

When everyone was asleep, I [Teleport] invisible to the Beacon in Bhutan, and systematically eliminated the mercenaries, starting with the sleeping ones, with [Speed] cast on me it went three times as fast, two hours later, the Mercenary troop was gone, my [Inventory] has a lot of corpses and a shitload of modern weapons. Not that I need those to do damage.
A second [Teleport] got me in the office with the safe that held the [Magic Stone Ore, still invisible I went to the Safe, with [Electrolysis] I decomposed the safe door, looting everything in my [Inventory] took a second, the next second [Teleport] me to Russia to do the same there.
A quick shower later, I joined my girls and cast [Sleep] on myself.

The Next morning I asked Nancy, "Can you ask your Mother to travel to Bhutan? She has to introduce me as the only courier for the [Magic Stone Ore]. I can safely transport those Ores to where she wants it."
Nancy looked thoughtful, she asked, "Is it a good idea to stick our noses in that Hornet nest? Mother said the Chinese or Russian Governments are not into this, but our Government clearly is. Mother is somehow involved with a Secret Service to have that kind of backing."
Nancy continued, "Being in a relationship with me will get her to back off, I am afraid to think what would have happened otherwise."
I shrugged, "Now that there are [Magic Stones] on Earth, we are involved anyway. Last night I took the [Magic Stones] from China and Russia. Today I will [Search] for more on my [Map]. I will get them all eventually."
Aya took her bag and walked to the door, "As long you don't draw attention to us more than there is now, Seiji. I hate to leave Earth permanently. I am off to Uni, bye."
The College girls followed Aya out, Hilda left for Dalton School, Inari and Kacha went to the Paper Mill, Elena, and Lela to their Troops, Ringo still had a few months at school to go to, Lydia went to the [Hero Magic Shop]. That left me with Nancy.
"I will call Mother, Seiji, you can [Search] for the [Magic Stones, I'll be in the Store all day," said Nancy.
That left me all alone, from the story, the Russians were experimenting with [Body Reinforcement] and planned to test it with girls in a Karate Tournament in Rio. The Tournament I wanted Mai to enter by winning the local Tournament. The College Championship.
I expanded my [Search] to [Magic Powers, helped by Ori. In Sint Petersburg, four girls were showing signs of increased strength, in China… WTF? A Devilkin? What is that doing here? Well, I'll ask it nicely.
An invisible [Teleport] behind the Devil, [Putrefaction] on his ass, and a [Teleport] back Home with him was done before the others in that room could react. A strip search removed several Magic Stones, I took the poison pill from his teeth, which made him ready to be questioned.
Tied up, the Devil woke up with some slaps to his face, "Good morning, how are you on this fine day, goat boy?"
Dazed, the Devil looked around, "What? How? How could you capture me, Hornless?"
"I will tell you if you live long enough," was my answer, "the main topic is what are you doing here on my planet, and how did you get here?"
The Devil was grinding his teeth, he realized the poison pill was gone, then he bit his tongue, a [Mend Wound] fixed that, plus I noticed he did not like Healing spells. I had to put [Sound Barrier] around us to spare the neighborhood to listen to his screams.
"That must have been uncomfortable," I chuckled, "so I will have some fun for an hour. You know, to loosen you up for a bit."
The next hour I practiced all my healing spells on the Devil, he sure did not like it at all by the sound of it, at the end, he was a crying mess.
"Now, tell me, Devil, how did you get here, and what are you planning with those Chinese Mafia? Oh, don't answer yet, ten minutes more won't hurt… much."
"I'll talk! No more, please!" he almost cried, "I got here with a [Magic Stone of Emergency Escape]! When I activated my [Magic Stone of Return] it did not work. I am stuck here until I find a way home."
He sobbed, "I joined those men to survive. When we found out about the [Magic Stone Ore] we needed to get our hands on it, the female that controls it has a daughter that they wanted to abduct. Everything went wrong since."
So this is a low-level flunky, he doesn't have 2500 MP, which is needed to get to the other world. The Chinese Mafia probably heard him speak about his home world and the [Magic Stone Ore] is their ticket to get there… they think. Hmm, [Magic Stone of Emergency Escape] is a rare Stone, maybe he is a kid from a leader, he barely has 1600 Magic Power.
It is good news for me though, if I kill this Devil, the leak is plugged. I will make stealing those [Magic Stone Ore] too expensive for them. I finished the Devil and stored him with the mercenaries.
Invisible, I [Teleport] back into the Building of the Mafia, and set Ori loose in one of their computer terminals. Giggling, Ori went to work. Before their Hacker realized someone was behind his firewall, Ori deposited their bank accounts to the Cayman Island Bank, it so happened my bank account there got some Zeros more, I am not complaining though.
Once they were drained of their money, Ori sent incriminating evidence to the authorities. The kind the authorities don't like. Meddling in politics on a National scale is a big nono.
Ori got back to me and we ported Home. Those Chinese guys were loaded! Winning 950 million Yen is peanuts compared with the cash Ori gave me. 950 Million Yen is a lousy 6 Million Dollars, my bank account grew to more than 700 Million Dollars! Yeah, Ori used all the tricks in the book to transfer it from China and change the Yuan into Dollars. I bet the Hacker is crying now. Ori was a bit miffed and reported him too.
With this two-way attack, the Mafiosi will have other things to worry about… or I made it worse if they spill the beans to the authorities. The good part of the [Magic Stones] is that they are inconspicuous, they are not the shiny baubles until they are processed.
That made it a hazard to work them into jewelry. Every [Magic Stone] will get hunted down. If you are not strong enough they will take it away… I'll worry about it later.
Xxxxx
I delivered the corpses to the Giant Shiny Slime in the Tower of Sunrise, once they were digested, I killed the Slime, we can't let it grow too strong, can we? Or let it have an indigestion for eating too many villains. Ruthless you say? Yeah, probably I am.
This room is big enough to try my [Magic Stone of Draconian Transformation 2] I removed my clothes and removed all jewelry, then I transformed into a big Red Fire Dragon. I am huge! I deliberately did not have a size in my mind, this is its normal size, 20 feet shoulder height, enormous wings, clearly a Western model like the one we killed to get the Stone.
I spread my wings and flapped them, even when they were big, they were not enough to lift this body into the air. I have to add my Magic Power to it to make it work. Flapping the wings I infused my body with Magic to make it weightless. Slowly I rose into the air, then I crashed back down, steering this thing is a Bitch!
I skipped lunch to get it under control, after several embarrassing crash landings, I could keep myself afloat and move in the direction I wanted. Spitting fire is a blast! Literary! It is a mix of Magic and Dragon spit, you know, like a spitting Cobra but with Fire.
Xxxxx
I returned home to prepare dinner. The kids were late. They have Kendo practice, Inari and Kacha kept their promise and gave a guest lecture to the club members, Lela was scheduled for next week, I am the week after that. I could not escape it they have killer puppy eyes, all five of them.
When they returned, Minato and Himari could not stop talking about the guest lecture of Inari and Kacha.
Himari told us, "Kacha Chan trashed my Sensei completely, even when he got help from his assistants. And yet he was not embarrassed by that. He had a silly grin on his face when he thanked you for that spar, Kacha Chan."
Kacha giggled, "I admit I had fun. It is rewarding too when you see students learn something from you. That makes it more than some play time."
Minato agreed, "My friends told me they learned a lot from both of you. Especially the mental techniques. A spar or a fight for your life is completely different, now they know it too."
He bowed to them, "Thank you for sacrificing your precious time for us, Inari San and Kacha San. If we can do something for you, just say the word."
Inari grabbed Minato in a hug, planting his face between her boobs, "It was not a sacrifice, Minato. We got something out of it too, our [Teaching] went a level up. It is at Level 3 now. That, and we had fun today."
Minato froze up for a few moments, then his arms got around Inari and he hugged her back. Inari released him when she felt his hands move lower and copped a feel on her ass.
Minato saw the daggers that Himari and Reina shot at him with their eyes, he grinned stupidly and said, "Totally worth it, even when you beat me up for it."
Reina nodded, "Maybe I will let Seiji San give me a hug, what do you think about that?"
Minato looked at her with pity, "Go for it, Reina Chan, can you compete with thirteen gorgeous women for his attention? At most, you will get an unforgettable hug like the one I just had. As I said, totally worth it."
Elena commented, "I won't object to a friendly hug, Reina Chan. For more, you need to age a few more years."
That got Reina blushing, Hilda added, "I can testify that Brother Seiji's hugs feel great."
Reina groaned, "Change the subject, please! I give up."
I chuckled, "I can show how I look as a Fire Dragon, I tried a [Magic Stone of Draconian Transformation 2] today and learned to fly with it."
That got everyone's attention, we cleared a space and I projected my transformation in the room… I forgot I took my clothes off. Meh, they got an eye full until a big Red Dragon stood in its place. I zoomed out to get the Dragon to fit in the room. From then they were having fun at my expense watching me crash and burn.
I explained the Magic and flying techniques and how to stay in the air, then the Fire breath silenced the laughter, it was impressive to see it up close. We did not give it a chance to spit fire when we fought it, a good strategy.
I provided eye candy when I changed back into a human, a command to my [Storage Bracelet] and I was clothed. I shrugged, "I have no problem with nudity, if you can't stand it, close your eyes."
Aya grinned, "I know what we will do tomorrow after Dinner, we will learn to fly and how to be a Dragon!"
