Chapter 35:
[Continuation from Chapter 27.]
Elizabeth opened her eyes and turned over, realizing Ichigo was missing.
"Kaa-san?" Elizabeth called. Moka let out a yawn as she turned to her.
"Yes, dear?"
"Tou-san is gone." Moka turned to see that Ichigo was indeed missing.
"Tou-san is probably downstairs making breakfast," Moka reasoned.
"What is Tou-san making for breakfast?" Elizabeth asked. Eu and Ophis had woken up due to the conversation.
"Good morning, Moka, Elizabeth," Eu said.
"Good morning, Eu." They all got out of bed and went to the bathroom before heading downstairs, where Masaki was cooking breakfast for them.
"Morning, everyone."
"Morning, Masaki," Moka said.
"Morning, Masaki-obasan," Elizabeth greeted.
"Morning, Kaa-san," Karin said. Eu and Ophis nodded in unison.
"Kaa-san, have you seen Ichi-nii?" Yuzu asked. Masaki looked at Moka.
"He wasn't sleeping with you guys?" Masaki replied.
"He was here last night," Moka answered.
"Allow me to explain," Yasaka said, her voice coming through the peerage connection.
"What do you mean, Yasaka-san?" Yuzu asked.
"I contacted Ichigo in the middle of the night," Yasaka began. "Amaterasu-sama ordered me to contact him and inform him that she wished to see him in my office."
"What did Amaterasu-sama want?" Masaki asked.
"I'm sorry, but Amaterasu-sama instructed me not to reveal anything to you," Yasaka replied. "However, she guarantees that Ichigo will be safe and return in one piece." Masaki sighed.
"Yasaka, thank you for telling us. Though we would have preferred Ichigo told us before he left," Masaki said.
"I understand," Yasaka replied before cutting the connection.
"Kaa-san, do you need help with breakfast?" Yuzu asked.
"No, thank you, Yuzu. I've got it." Masaki smiled. Soon, everyone sat down at the table. Masaki had made omelets for everyone. Just then, a knock came at the door.
"I'll get it," Karin said, standing up to answer. She opened the door but found no one standing there. She looked down and noticed three envelopes on the ground. Karin picked them up and felt that the envelopes were made of old parchment. She saw her name, Yuzu's name, and Ichigo's name written on the front of each envelope. Closing the door, she walked back inside.
"Who was at the door?" Masaki asked.
"I don't know. Someone left these letters for us," Karin said, handing Yuzu her envelope.
"Who does the other one belong to?" Masaki asked.
"The other one is for Ichi-nii," Karin replied.
"I'll put it on Tou-san's desk," Elizabeth said, jumping out of her seat. Karin handed her the letter, and Elizabeth hurried upstairs. Yuzu and Karin flipped their envelopes and noticed they were sealed with wax. The seal bore a strange claw design. Carefully, they broke the seal and opened the letters. They pulled out the contents and began reading.
"Dear Kurosaki Yuzu/Karin,
We've heard many great things about you and would like to invite you to visit Ansullivan Dragonar Academy. This school helps students tame and ride dragons. If you accept our invitation, please write your reply on the back of this letter and seal the envelope.
Sincerely,
Io Naginata Yaminata
Headmistress of Ansullivan Dragonar Academy (1)."
Yuzu and Karin exchanged glances before turning to Eu and Ophis.
"Have either of you heard of Ansullivan Dragonar Academy?" Yuzu asked.
"No," Eu replied, while Ophis simply shrugged and continued to feed Nyx.
"Let's ask Kisara and Valiona," Karin suggested.
"Good idea," Yuzu agreed. They ran upstairs to the Familiar Room, where Kisara and Valiona were watching Shēnyuān and Xīng Chén spar.
"Hello, Kisara. Valiona," Karin greeted.
"Hello, Karin," they replied. Shēnyuān and Xīng Chén stopped their sparring match and turned toward their respective masters. They ran over to greet them.
"Hello, Shēnyuān," Karin said.
"Good morning, Xīng Chén," Yuzu added.
"Do you need anything?" Kisara asked.
"We do," Karin said, placing Shēnyuān down. She handed the letter to Kisara while Yuzu gave hers to Valiona. They waited as the two read the letters.
"I assume you want to know if we've heard of this school?" Kisara asked.
"Exactly," Karin replied.
"Unfortunately, we haven't heard of it," Valiona said.
"However, if you two want to check it out, we'll happily accompany you," Kisara offered.
"Okay then," Yuzu said, looking around for a pen to write their reply.
"Wait, Yuzu," Karin stopped her. "We need to let Kaa-san know."
"You're right," Yuzu agreed. The group made their way back downstairs.
"Hello, Kisara. Valiona. How's everyone this morning?" Masaki asked.
"We're good," Kisara replied.
"Kaa-san, we decided to see what this school is all about," Yuzu said.
"Don't worry, Kisara and Valiona agreed to come with us," Karin added. Masaki turned to Kisara and Valiona for confirmation, and they both nodded.
"You have my blessing," Masaki said. Yuzu and Karin grabbed pens and wrote their responses.
"I accept your offer." They folded the letters and sealed them back into their envelopes. The envelopes began to glow red before turning to dust.
"So, what are your plans for the weekend?" Masaki asked.
"I was thinking of taking Elizabeth to the park," Moka said.
"Good idea," Masaki agreed. "It'll give her a chance to make new friends and blend in more."
"Kahlua and I need to see if there's anything left at our father's estate," Akua said.
"Be careful there," Moka warned. "Ichigo fought Otou-sama and nearly crippled him. He might try to retaliate if he learns you two are allied with Ichigo." Akua and Kahlua smiled, unbothered by the warning.
"Thank you for the warning, Moka," Akua said as she hugged her little sister. Suddenly, they heard the doorbell ring.
"I got it!" Yuzu called as she ran to the door. She opened it to find an adult woman standing on the doorstep. She had hazel eyes and shoulder-length blue hair tied into a ponytail. Dressed in a tight black shirt that emphasized her size C breasts, dark blue pants that accentuated her firm legs and butt, and knee-high black boots, she wore a black trench coat. A leather collar adorned her neck, and golden dragon-shaped earrings dangled from her ears.
"Hello. Is this the residence of Kurosaki Yuzu and Kurosaki Karin?" she asked.
"It is. Can I ask who you are?" Yuzu inquired.
"I'm sorry. My name is Io Naginata Yaminata, and I am the Headmistress of Ansullivan Dragonar Academy," the woman replied.
"Oh, come in," Yuzu said, stepping aside. Headmistress Yaminata entered, walking toward the dining area where everyone sat.
"Oh, hello. I do apologize for dropping by so suddenly," she said.
"No problem," Masaki replied, standing up. "I am Kurosaki Masaki, their mother."
"I see. I am Io Naginata Yaminata, Headmistress of Ansullivan Dragonar Academy," the Headmistress said.
"Let's move to the living room," Masaki suggested.
"Agreed." Masaki turned to the others at the table.
"Don't worry, Masaki. We've got the dishes," Akua assured her.
"Thank you," Masaki said, as Headmistress Yaminata, Yuzu, Karin, Kisara, and Valiona made their way to the living room. Kisara quickly set out tea, pouring a cup for everyone.
"Thank you," Headmistress Yaminata said, accepting the cup from Kisara.
"Before I continue, does Kurosaki Ichigo live here?" the Headmistress asked.
"He does. However, he isn't able to read your letter right now," Yuzu replied.
"I see… That's fine."
"Headmistress Yaminata, your letter said that your school helps students tame and ride dragons. What does that mean?" Yuzu asked.
"Good question. Before I explain that, I need you to answer this question," the Headmistress said.
"Okay," Karin replied.
"Have you heard of the word drákōn?" The only two who didn't shake their heads were Kisara and Valiona.
"You two have?" the Headmistress asked.
"We have," Kisara answered.
"Care to say what drákōns are?"
"Drákōns are a race of intelligent dragons. They can communicate with humans through telepathy and possess their own branch of magic," Kisara explained.
"Correct," Headmistress Yaminata said. "Long ago, the drákōns roamed the land. For an unknown reason, their children began to lose their intelligence and lost the ability to use most of their magic, except their ability to breathe fire. The drákōns couldn't find a way to restore their children's magic. One drákōn discovered that the only way to survive was by bonding with humans. But humans couldn't handle the immense magic of a fully matured drákōn. They realized, though, that if a baby drákōn lived inside a human child for a period, the child's body would adapt to support the drákōn. With their last efforts, they created a being known as the Dragon Mother. She is responsible for finding the right human to give them a drákōn embryo and helped mentor the first generation of human breeders."
"Interesting history lesson," Karin said. "But what does this have to do with us?"
"We wanted to see if your dragons could learn what our school teaches." Headmistress Yaminata replied.
"What does your school teach?" Yuzu asked.
"I can't tell you here. What we teach are closely guarded secrets," Headmistress Yaminata said.
"Very well," Karin replied. "We accept the invitation."
"However, Kisara and Valiona will be our chaperones during our time at the Academy."
"Very well."
"Goodbye, Kaa-san," Yuzu and Karin said.
"Goodbye, Yuzu," Masaki said, hugging Yuzu. "Goodbye, Karin." She hugged Karin. "Please watch over them, Kisara. Valiona," she added.
"We will," Kisara replied. Valiona nodded. They all walked outside the Kurosaki household.
"Stay near me," Headmistress Yaminata instructed. Suddenly, a blue seal appeared beneath them and teleported them all away. Masaki walked inside and noticed the kitchen was already cleaned up. She saw Moka and Elizabeth heading toward the door.
"Where are you two going?"
"Kaa-san is planning to take me to the park!" Elizabeth said excitedly.
"I see. Be a good little girl," Masaki said.
"I will, Oba-san."
"Be careful out there, Moka."
"I will. Don't worry about it," Moka said, waving as they left.
"Better get to the clinic," Masaki muttered to herself, heading off.
Unbeknownst to Masaki, Eve, Esdeath, Kahlua, and Shirayuki were down in the Underground Trainer.
"So, Eve, you wish to get stronger?" Kahlua asked.
"I do. I want to get stronger to protect Kaa-san and my future Imoto," Eve said.
"Is that the same reason for you, Esdeath?" Shirayuki asked.
"It is. Before, I was alone until I met Eve. She accepted me as family," Esdeath said, raising her hands. Ice gathered in her hand. "I was born with these powers, and I want to learn how to use them to protect my family."
"Very well then," Shirayuki said, and the two instructors began teaching their new pupils.
Scene Change: Kuoh Town
Moka and Elizabeth spent a few hours at the park. Moka smiled as she watched Elizabeth playing with the other children.
"Moka-san," someone called. Moka and Elizabeth turned around to see Rias and her peerage walking toward them.
"Hello, Rias," Moka replied.
"Want to go out for lunch?" Rias asked.
"Sure," Moka replied as they walked toward downtown.
"So, where are we eating?" Moka asked.
"It's a new restaurant that just recently opened up," Rias answered. They soon arrived at a small restaurant with a mix of Japanese and Western architecture. On the side, they saw the words Ao no Ex. They all walked inside.
"Welcome!" A young man with teal eyes and dark brown hair greeted them. He had two moles under his left eye and another one under his mouth. He was dressed in a black shirt with Ao no Ex on the left side and a black server apron. "How many people?" he asked.
"Eleven people," Rias replied.
"Please follow me," he said, leading them to their seats. The restaurant was empty. He moved a few tables and chairs to accommodate everyone, and they quickly sat down. "Welcome to Ao no Ex. My name is Okumura Yukio, and I'll be your server," he greeted as he handed out menus. "I'll be back in a few minutes to take your order." Everyone quietly reviewed the menus. A few minutes later, Yukio returned, collected everyone's orders, and took the menus.
As they were chatting while waiting for their food, the door slid open.
"Wel-" Yukio began, turning to the door to see two young women. One had short black hair with bangs that reached her chin and a pigtail tied behind. She had a slender figure and a notably large bust, dressed in a business suit. "Minegasaki-san!" Yukio exclaimed.
"Hello, Yukio," Minegasaki greeted. She paused as she surveyed the empty restaurant. "Looks pretty empty again. I wonder if you can pay your loan back?"
"We will, Minegasaki-san," Yukio replied.
"Remember, you have a few days left before the deadline," she warned, walking out. Yukio sighed, pulling up a chair and sitting down. Another person emerged from the back—a young man dressed in the same uniform as Yukio. He had pale skin and intense blue eyes, wearing a black hat with the restaurant's name on it.
"Don't worry, Yukio," the man said.
"But Rin, in these last few days, we haven't made enough revenue to cover even basic costs," Yukio said. Rias stood up and walked over to the two men.
"I've heard you need some money," Rias said. Rin growled at her. His teeth began to resemble canine fangs, and his ears sharpened to a point.
"Nii-san!" Yukio shouted, snapping Rin out of his anger. His teeth and ears returned to normal. "Um…"
"Don't worry about it," Rias reassured him. "The rest of my group and I are aware of the supernatural world."
"Sorry," Rin apologized. "You sounded like the many loan sharks who come here."
"I see… Sorry if I came across that way," Rias said.
"No, it's not your fault," Rin replied.
"Rin, are you done with their food?" Yukio asked.
"Oh, crap!" Rin exclaimed, running back to the kitchen.
"While your…" Rias began.
"Brother. He's my brother," Yukio clarified.
"While your brother finishes cooking our food, let's sit down and talk," Rias suggested.
"Sure." Yukio joined everyone at the table.
"Who was she?" Akeno asked.
"Her name is Minegasaki Yaeko. She loaned us money to start the restaurant. But we haven't been able to make the monthly payments on time, so she threatened to take the restaurant back if we don't pay off our debt," Yukio explained.
"I see," Rias said.
"Despite what it looks like, your location is actually pretty good," Issei commented. Everyone turned to look at the pervert. "Ao no Ex isn't far from Kuoh Academy. If you had more employees, you could serve more customers."
"To think our pervert here can think about something other than oppais," Kiba joked. Everyone laughed except for Yukio and Elizabeth. Rin soon returned with the food and sat down with them.
"Hiring more people sounds good, but how? We can't afford to hire anyone else," Yukio said.
"Food for work," Koneko suggested.
"I think she means offering to pay employees with your amazing cooking," Rossweisse explained.
"Who would accept that offer?" Rin asked. To his surprise, everyone raised their hands.
"Despite the food looking simple, it was delicious," Moka said. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Who has cooking experience?" Yukio asked. Rias, Akeno, and Rossweisse raised their hands.
"You three will help me in the back," Rin said, standing up. "Follow me." He led Rias, Akeno, and Rossweisse to the kitchen.
"All of you can be servers," Yukio said.
"Very well," Kiba said. Koneko nodded.
"I'll help as much as I can," Asia added.
"Fine," Issei said, slightly disappointed.
"If it's fine with you, I'll be the bouncer outside," Moka said.
"Um…" Yukio said.
"It's fine, right?" Moka asked, glaring at him.
"Yes. Yes, it's fine!" Yukio quickly replied.
"Great," Moka said.
"What about me, Kaa-san?" Elizabeth asked. "How can I help?" Moka turned to Yukio.
"What if you have a happy hour for little kids?" Moka suggested.
"What do you mean?" Yukio asked.
"Maybe from 3:00 to 5:00 PM, you could offer free meals from the kids' menu to children under ten? It might encourage more parents to bring their children after school," Moka proposed.
"Good idea," Yukio said, writing it down. "I'll make the flyers for her to pass out at her school."
"Maybe around 6:00 PM or later, you could have an adult happy hour with beer and sake half off when ordered with food," Issei suggested.
"Good. Good."
"Maybe a photo with any of the employees?" Kiba suggested.
"Kiba!" Issei yelled. "You know how much chaos that would bring here if your fangirls found out."
"But it will be good for business!" Yukio argued back. The group continued to share ideas and started their plan. Everyone was given their Ao no Ex uniform and began to do their job. Rias, Akeno, and Kiba walked out in their uniforms to advertise the restaurant. They also added that customers could take a photo with one of the servers at the end of their meal. In a few minutes, Ao no Ex was packed with customers. Everyone quickly served them. Moka had to step in to calm down the lines. Some people even asked to take a photo with Moka. A few hours later, Ao no Ex closed its doors for the night.
"Man, that was tiring," Issei said as he sat down.
"I agree," Rias said. "All the work made me sweaty."
"Nee-san. How much money did we make?" Rin asked.
"Our revenue was 145,078 yen," Yukio said.
"That much!" Rin shouted.
"Yes. If this continues, we'll be able to repay Minegasaki-san on time," Yukio announced.
"Yes!" Rin shouted. Soon, everyone went home, ready for the next day.
Time Skip: Next Day [Same time as Chapter 29]
Moka groaned as she woke up early. She got up, dressed, and headed to work at Ao no Ex. As she walked downstairs, she saw Eu.
"Hey, Eu."
"Hello, Moka," Eu replied.
"Are you busy?"
"I'm not. Can you take Elizabeth to the park for me?"
"Why?"
"I am helping someone today and wanted Elizabeth to go to the park to have fun and pass out these flyers." Eu handed Moka the Ao no Ex flyers.
"Very well. But be aware I may come with Ophis," Moka said.
"As long as you pay for her," Moka replied as she left. She met up with Rias and her peerage, and together they walked toward Ao no Ex. Despite the restaurant not being open yet, they could already see a line forming. They greeted the customers before helping Yukio and Rin open up the restaurant. The flood of orders came in, and the battle started once again. All the employees of Ao no Ex were so focused on serving customers that they didn't notice the time passing. It was already early afternoon when the door to Ao no Ex opened.
"Welcome!" Moka shouted as she looked at the door.
"Kaa-san!" Elizabeth shouted as she ran toward Moka. Moka hugged her daughter.
"Elizabeth. What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at the park with Eu?"
"Huh?" Elizabeth said. "We were. Eu-Obasan and Ophis-Obasan took me and Nyx to the park a few hours ago already." Moka looked at the clock and was shocked to see that six hours had passed.
"Elizabeth. You don't need to run," Eu said as she entered, followed by Ophis carrying Nyx. Moka quickly escorted them to their table. Ophis looked at the menu for a few seconds before closing it.
"Moka. I want all of it," Ophis said.
"Very well," Moka said, quickly running to the kitchen.
"What happened, Moka?" Rias asked.
"Ophis is here, and she wants everything on the menu."
"I... see," Rias said as she quickly began to prepare the ingredients. Moka nodded and left the kitchen.
"Who is Ophis?" Rin asked.
"One of the strongest beings in reality. She is stronger than Amaterasu-sama," Akeno warned as she began to cook faster.
"Then let's go!" Rin yelled, starting to cook faster. Rias, Akeno, Rin, and Rossweisse began to push more dishes out quicker. Issei, Kiba, Koneko, Xenovia, and Moka quickly served the dishes. Soon it was finally time to close Ao no Ex for the night. Everyone sat down as Yukio once again counted the day's sales.
"To think we're this tired. We even had to use our magic to help us," Rias said. Everyone nodded.
"I guess we haven't trained to use our magic like that for a long time," Akeno said.
"What are you talking about, Akeno?" Rias asked.
"Normally, our battles last around ten minutes. But this was about ten hours, and we weren't even using our energy to attack. We used our energy to buff our physical abilities."
"Good news!" Yukio said. "We have enough money to pay Minegasaki-san back for the next few months."
"YAY!" Everyone cheered. Unbeknownst to them, someone was squatting underneath a window.
"I have to report to Minegasaki-sama," the spy muttered as he quietly moved away from the window. Once he was far enough, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number. The spy held the phone to his ear.
"Hello, Minegasaki-sama. I have some bad news about Ao no Ex."
"What is it?"
"The Okumura brothers have enough money to pay you back tomorrow."
"What! How?"
"They managed to convince a group of people to work with them to raise enough money to pay you back, Minegasaki-sama."
"Who are these people?"
"From what I heard, one of their names is Rias."
"Wait. Does she have red hair, green eyes, and large breasts?"
"I believe so."
"I see. Get back here now," Minegasaki ordered before hanging up. Minegasaki Yaeko slammed her fist on the table. "Damn, that bitch is there. I need to be careful."
Time Skip: Morning
It was morning in Kuoh Town. The sun was beginning to rise. In the Kurosaki Household, everyone was still asleep except for Kurosaki Masaki. She was already up and making breakfast for everyone. As she cooked in the kitchen, she heard someone pull out a chair and sit down. She looked to see a pregnant Lunatique Tearju sitting at the table.
"Good morning, Lunatique," Masaki greeted.
"Good morning, Masaki," Lunatique replied.
"How's the baby girl?" Masaki asked, continuing to cook.
"She's good. She didn't bother me at all."
"Do you want anything?" Lunatique sighed.
"A cup of tea, please." Masaki carried out a small teapot and a teacup for her.
"Thank you," Lunatique said as she took the teapot and cup. She sat back down and poured herself some tea.
"Have you heard anything from Ichigo, Yuzu, or Karin?"
"No," Masaki said. Suddenly, they heard fast footsteps descending the stairs. "Elizabeth! No running in the house!"
"Sorry, Oba-san!" Elizabeth called, with Esdeath and Eve calmly following behind her.
"Hello, Elizabeth, Esdeath, and Eve," Lunatique greeted.
"Good morning, Luna-Obasan," Elizabeth replied.
"Good morning, Kaa-san," Eve said.
"Good morning, Luna-san," Esdeath added. Then, they heard slower, heavier footsteps.
"Morning, Kaa-san!" Elizabeth shouted.
"Good morning, Elizabeth," Moka said as she walked into the kitchen to grab a chilled tomato juice. She opened the can and drank it down quickly, finishing it with a satisfying crush and tossing it in the trash.
"How are you feeling, Moka?" Masaki asked.
"Better. Still, I wish Ichigo would hurry up and get home," Moka complained.
"I know," Masaki agreed.
"At least you don't need to worry about Ichigo's safety," Masaki sighed as she flipped a pancake onto a nearby plate.
"I know Ichigo can take care of himself, but a mother will always worry about her children," Masaki continued as she poured more batter into the pan. "You should know the feeling of wanting to keep your children safe."
Moka cracked a small smile, glancing over at Elizabeth, who was setting the table.
"I know. When Elizabeth was first born, I was worried. Worried that I couldn't protect her," Moka said, remembering the past. Suddenly, someone lightly smacked Moka on the back of her head. She turned to see Akua and Kahlua standing behind her.
"Nee-san," Moka said.
"Moka, stop thinking like that," Kahlua said.
"I know I wasn't a good big sister back then, but you don't need to worry about it right now. You have a bigger family that all cares about you, in one way or another," Akua added.
Moka smiled. "Besides, you should focus your energy on punishing Ichigo when he returns."
Moka's smile grew wider.
"If you three are done... help me carry these plates," Masaki said. They nodded and grabbed some of the plates of food, carrying them to the table. Eu, Ophis, and Lilith walked downstairs and joined them.
"Itadakimasu," they all said as they began to eat the pancakes. Suddenly, the front door opened. They all turned to see Ichigo walking in.
"Tadaima," Ichigo said with a yawn.
"Ichigo!" Moka shouted, standing up.
"Tou-san!" Elizabeth yelled as she ran toward Ichigo. He kneeled down and hugged her.
"I missed you," Elizabeth said.
"I missed you too," Ichigo replied. He released Elizabeth and looked up to see Moka approaching. Ichigo chuckled as he tilted his head, noticing Moka licking her lips. She quickly embraced him and bit down on his neck. Ichigo could feel her fangs break his skin.
"Delicious," Moka said. After a few minutes, she let go and licked her lips clean of the blood.
"Bye Ichigo, Elizabeth," Moka said.
"Bye, Kaa-san," Elizabeth called.
"Where are you going, Moka?" Ichigo asked.
"I'm helping a friend with his family restaurant."
"Okay," Ichigo said, hugging her.
"Tou-san," Elizabeth said.
"Yes, Elizabeth?"
"Can you take me to the park later?"
"Sure," Ichigo agreed.
"Before you take her to the park, maybe you should sit down and join us for breakfast," Masaki suggested.
"Sure," Ichigo agreed, joining them at the dinner table. Masaki passed him a plate of pancakes. Ichigo spent time talking with everyone at the table. He learned that Lunatique was in the final stage of her pregnancy. Esdeath was learning the basics of being a Yuki-Onna from Shirayuki. Eve was learning how to use her hair manipulation abilities from Kahlua, who was an expert in using Wealth of Power. After breakfast, Ichigo was led to the park by an energetic Elizabeth.
"Come on, Tou-san!" Elizabeth shouted, running ahead.
"I'm coming, Elizabeth," Ichigo replied, casually following behind her. They arrived to see a few children playing at the playground. Ichigo sat on a bench and watched Elizabeth run to join them. He smiled and pulled out his trainer to type a message.
"Hey everyone. How's your new body? Have you figured out how to change into your spirit body and back? Have you managed to figure out your body's limit (2)?" Ichigo sent the message and began to read the replies from his servants.
"Tou-san!" Elizabeth shouted as she ran back to him. Ichigo put the trainer away.
"Yes, Elizabeth?"
"I wanted you to meet my best friend from school!" Elizabeth said.
"Okay, Elizabeth." Ichigo looked over and saw a young girl with large amber eyes and shoulder-length purple hair. His eyes widened in shock as he remembered someone else with a similar appearance.
"No way. It can't be," Ichigo thought.
"Tou-san, this is Senna," Elizabeth said. "Senna, this is my Tou-san."
"H-hi Kurosaki-san," Senna said, bowing slightly.
"Hello, Senna-chan. My name is Kurosaki Ichigo," Ichigo said with a smile. "Call me Ichigo or Ichigo-san," he added.
"Tou-san, be right back. I'm going to the toilet," Elizabeth said as she ran off to the restroom, leaving Ichigo and Senna alone. The two sat there in silence. Ichigo, his mind racing, began to form a red ribbon.
"Senna?"
"Yes, Ichigo-san?" Senna replied.
"Here." Ichigo handed her a red ribbon. Her eyes widened upon seeing it.
"Does it look familiar?" Ichigo asked as he placed the red ribbon in her hand. Senna's eyes began to glisten with tears.
"You... you remember me?" Senna asked, her voice trembling.
"Of course, I remember you, Senna," Ichigo replied. Without warning, he picked her up.
"Hey!" She yelped.
Ichigo ignored her protest and placed her on his shoulders.
"Huh?"
"You once told me that 'When you're up high, all the stuff that looks confusing and messed up... suddenly becomes crystal clear,'" Ichigo said, grinning.
"I-I did," Senna stammered. Ichigo carefully lowered her down.
"You managed to reincarnate and retain your memories."
"Not all of them. Just the ones from when we first met for those few days," Senna replied softly.
"I see," Ichigo said. They saw Elizabeth running toward them. "Have fun, Senna," Ichigo added with a smile.
"Ok, Ichigo," Senna said, joining Elizabeth at the playground. Ichigo watched the two of them play, feeling a sense of contentment.
Scene Change: Ao no Ex
Moka, Rias, and her peerage arrived at Ao no Ex to find fire trucks surrounding the restaurant, putting out the last of the flames. Rin and Yukio were talking with a police officer.
"Yukio. Rin. What happened?" Rias asked.
"This morning we went to the market to buy more ingredients. When we returned, the restaurant was already on fire. Someone called the fire department, and they put out the fire," Rin explained. A black car stopped in front of them, and Minegasaki Yaeko stepped out.
"Minegasaki-san," Yukio greeted.
"We have the money for this month and the next few months," Yukio said, handing her an envelope. She took the envelope, counting the money with a sharp gaze.
"It's not enough," Minegasaki said, her voice cold.
"What? That's what we agreed on," Yukio responded, confusion mixing with frustration.
"It was," Minegasaki said, "However, the situation has changed." She pulled out the contract. "In accordance with our agreement, you are responsible for keeping the restaurant in good condition until all payments are made. But since the restaurant is no longer in good condition, I'll need the full amount immediately."
"What!" Yukio shouted, his anger rising.
"Since you've failed to keep your end of the contract, I suppose I'll take back the restaurant... or what's left of it," Minegasaki added, tucking the contract back into her bag.
"Dammit," Yukio muttered under his breath.
"Rias," Akeno whispered, catching Rias's attention.
"What is it, Akeno?" Rias asked.
"I spoke to the witnesses. They all reported seeing green fire before it turned red," Akeno said.
"Green fire…" Rias's eyes widened in realization. "Akeno, are you sure they said green fire?"
"They did," Akeno confirmed.
"Then this was the work of a devil," Rias said, her expression darkening.
"Be prepared to hand over the deed tomorrow," Minegasaki called out as she climbed into her car and drove away.
"Akeno, follow her and capture her," Rias ordered.
"May I use my 'Fun Box' on her?" Akeno asked with a mischievous grin.
"Yes. Use it to find out if she has any connection to the fire," Rias agreed. Akeno nodded and disappeared.
Rias turned to Yukio and Rin. "I know this is hard, but we believe we've found a clue."
"Really?" Rin asked, his curiosity piqued.
Rias explained her revelation, and a few minutes later, Akeno returned.
"That was quick," Rias commented, raising an eyebrow.
"It was. She drove into an empty alleyway, seemingly preparing to teleport. Before she could make a move, I entered her car and sent her to my 'Fun Box,'" Akeno said, smirking at the memory.
"What's the 'Fun Box'?" Issei asked, wide-eyed.
Akeno grinned. "Don't worry, Issei. I'll show you after."
"No! You will not show Issei your 'Fun Box'… only after I do it with him first," Rias said, blushing at her own words.
"I guess I need to push you harder, Buchou," Akeno teased.
"Enough!" Moka snapped, grabbing their attention. She turned to Akeno. "Did you find any evidence linking Minegasaki to the fire?"
"I haven't started 'playing' with her yet. I wanted to see if anyone else was interested in playing with her before I accidentally break her," Akeno said, shrugging.
"You can break her. I just want to know if she ordered it and why," Yukio said, his tone heavy.
"Ok then. Be right back," Akeno said, disappearing once again.
"So, what are you planning to do now?" Rias asked Yukio.
"After talking with the insurance company, we might just rebuild the restaurant," Yukio said, determination in his voice.
Akeno emerged from the 'Fun Box' moments later.
"That was quick," Rias said, observing her.
"Was it? She took quite a while to break. I had so much fun experimenting with different ways to get her to crack," Akeno said, enjoying the memory of her methods.
"What did you find?" Rias asked, her curiosity piqued.
"Turns out Minegasaki Yaeko was a stray devil," Akeno revealed.
"As expected," Rias said, not surprised by the outcome.
"Was she the one who burned down the restaurant?" Rin asked, voice tight with tension.
"She was," Akeno confirmed.
"Why?" Yukio asked, his anger rising again.
"Because she wanted to see both of you suffer. She enjoys seeing you in despair," Akeno replied coolly.
"So, what's going to happen to her?" Moka asked, her tone serious.
"Since she's a stray devil who attacked two Yōkai, she'll be handed over to Nii-sama, who will consult Yasaka-sama to determine her fate," Rias explained.
"I see…" Moka said softly.
Akeno pulled out an envelope and handed it to Yukio.
"Here is your money back."
"Thank you, Akeno-san," Yukio said.
"Where are you two going?"
"For the time being, we'll return to Kyoto while the insurance and investigation are going on," Yukio said.
"Bye," Rin said.
"Bye!" Everyone shouted as they waved goodbye to their friends.
"I need to get back home," Moka said as she waved goodbye to Rias and her peerage.
Scene Change: Kurosaki Household
Moka returned home only to be tackled by Elizabeth.
"Welcome home, Kaa-san!" she shouted.
"Hello, Elizabeth. Did you have fun with Tou-san?"
"I did."
"Hello, Moka," Ichigo greeted as he kissed her on the lips. "Do you want to take a shower first or eat dinner?"
"I'm going to take a shower first and then meet you at the dinner table."
"Great. Everyone else already ate, so it'll just be us." Ichigo said.
"Great." Elizabeth let out a yawn.
"Is someone tired?" Moka said as she picked up Elizabeth and took her upstairs. She put her to bed and took a quick shower. She came down to see Ichigo placing two plates of curry on the table. Moka sat down, and they began to eat. As they ate, they told each other what happened that day. Ichigo told Moka about Senna and his history with her. Moka told him about Ao no Ex and the stray devil. Soon, the two finished their dinner and went to bed.
Scene Change: Morning
Ichigo woke up early. He carefully left the bed, making sure Moka didn't wake up. He went downstairs and began to make ham and cheese omelets.
"Good morning, Ichigo," Masaki said as she hugged him.
"Morning, Kaa-san."
"Did you read the letter on your desk?"
"No."
"When you have time, go and read that letter," Masaki said.
"Sure," Ichigo replied. Soon, everyone came down and ate breakfast together. "After breakfast, can everyone meet me downstairs?" Ichigo asked.
"How come?" Moka asked.
"It's time for all of you to meet the new additions to our peerage," Ichigo said.
"How many people did you add?" Eu asked.
"Um… twelve," Ichigo admitted.
"TWELVE!" everyone shouted.
"Ichigo, I know you could have a big peerage, but I think you shouldn't waste your Chaos Pieces," Masaki warned.
"I know. I know. But once I introduce them and all of you learn about their abilities, you'll agree that I did the right thing," Ichigo said.
"Very well."
"Let me grab everyone," Ichigo said as he shunpō'ed away. He picked up Yasaka, Tier, and Nel. Ichigo stood in front of the collected group.
"So where are our new members?" Moka asked. Ichigo instructed everyone to meet up in the Underground Training Area.
"All of them are in the Trainer right now. They wished to get used to a human body again," Ichigo said. "I'm going to release each one at a time. Some of them you might've heard of, while others may not. Please wait until the end for me to explain." They nodded in understanding. Ichigo pressed a button, and the trainer fired a green beam in front of them. The beam transformed into a human being.
"Hello, my name is Hana Song and I am from the year 2055 (3)," Hana said. Ichigo pressed the button again.
"My name is Emiya Rin; please call me Archer," Archer said. Ichigo pressed the button again.
"Zealot is Zealot," Zealot said.
"Before I continue, the next peerage members are those you might recognize," Ichigo said.
"What do you mean?" Moka asked.
"They are beings whose deeds have been recorded as history or legends," Ichigo cryptically explained. Ichigo pressed the button.
"I am Medea, Princess of Colchis," Medea said.
"Your hair looks pretty," Elizabeth said.
"Thank you," Medea replied. Ichigo smiled as he summoned the next peerage member.
"I am Scáthach, Queen of the Land of Shadows," Scáthach said.
"I am Gilgamesh, Queen of Uruk and Queen of Heroes," Gilgamesh said.
"I am Jeanne d'Arc," Jeanne said.
"Wait…the Joan of Arc? As in the French Maiden who liberated Orléans in the Hundred Years' War?" Moka asked.
"Correct," Jeanne said.
"I am also Jeanne d'Arc, but I'm her alter ego. Call me Joan," Alter said.
"Think of Jeanne as the legend and Joan as her human side she kept hidden," Ichigo said as he sent out the next member. Yasaka gasped as she recognized who was next.
"I am Tamamo-no-mae," Tamamo said. She turned and looked at Yasaka.
"Hello, mother," Yasaka said.
"Hello, my child. It seems you've grown into a beautiful kitsune," Tamamo said.
"I knew I had a bad feeling when she was summoned," Ichigo thought as he summoned the next peerage member. Once again, Yasaka was shocked at who appeared in front of her.
"I am Minamoto no Raikou. It seems I am in front of the current ruler of the Yōkai faction."
"I have heard many stories about you, Minamoto no Raikou. Your Four Heavenly Kings valiantly served in protecting Kyoto," Yasaka said. Raikou smiled.
"It feels good hearing my little boys doing so well," Raikou said. Ichigo sent out the next servant. Artoria stood there. They all could feel an aura around her as if they were standing in front of a tyrant.
"I am Artoria Pendragon, King of Knights and Once and Future King of Britannia."
"K-King Arthur is a girl!?" everyone shouted. Artoria sighed.
"There are two possible answers to that question," Ichigo said. "The first is that the King Arthur we know is Artoria, who pretended to be male, or Artoria could be from a different dimension where she was a king," Ichigo explained. "Now then, the last and final member is here. I used my other King Piece on her." He pressed the button.
Everyone was curious about who Ichigo used the other King Piece on. Moka's, Elizabeth's, and Kahlua's mouths dropped. Yasaka's eyes widened in realization. Standing in front of them was Akasha Bloodriver.
"Hello, Moka. Elizabeth. Kahlua," Akasha greeted.
"K-k-kaa-san?" Moka stammered. Akasha nodded.
"KAA-SAN!" Moka yelled, rushing to hug her mother. As the old and new peerage members interacted with each other, Ichigo walked upstairs. He went to his room and found an envelope on his desk. The envelope appeared to be made of traditional parchment. Ichigo flipped it over to find it sealed with wax.
"Very traditional looking," Ichigo thought as he carefully broke the wax seal. He pulled out a letter made from the same parchment and began to read.
"Dear Kurosaki Ichigo, we've heard many great things about you and would like to invite you to Ansullivan Dragonar Academy. This school helps students tame and ride dragons. We hope to see you soon. Sincerely, Io Naginata Yaminata, Headmistress of Ansullivan Dragonar Academy."
"Interesting," Ichigo thought. As he was thinking, Masaki walked in.
"So, I assume you read the letter?" Masaki asked.
"I did."
"And you're going to go?" she asked.
"Yes. I'm curious since I've never heard of this school before."
"Do you think it's a trap?"
"I don't think so."
"How are you going to get there? Yuzu and Karin wrote a reply, and someone picked it up," Masaki said.
"I know where to go," Ichigo smiled.
"Kisara. Valiona. Can either of you hear me?" Ichigo asked through the familiar bond.
"Master!?" Valiona replied.
"Good to hear from you, master," Kisara said.
"Good. Are both of you together?" Ichigo asked.
"Yes, we're both together," Valiona confirmed.
"Great. Focus on where you are," Ichigo instructed.
"You're trying to come over here by using our thoughts?" Kisara guessed.
"Exactly. Let me focus on that," Ichigo said as he closed his eyes and concentrated. Through their thoughts, he visualized them standing in a dorm room with two pairs of bunk beds. In the lower bunks, he saw Yuzu and Karin sleeping while Shēnyuān and Xīng Chén rested on their respective master's beds. Ichigo raised his hand and focused on the image, ripping open a Garganta, startling Masaki.
"Ichigo!" she screamed.
Ichigo ignored her as he jumped into the Garganta. It closed behind him.
"Dammit," Masaki growled.
Scene Change: Ansullivan Dragonar Academy: Epona Halls
Kisara and Valiona focused, and suddenly a Garganta appeared in front of them. As they saw it, they stopped concentrating, knowing they didn't need to anymore. Ichigo walked out, and the Garganta closed behind him.
"Master!" they shouted as they ran to embrace him.
"Good to see you two," Ichigo said.
"Huh?" Karin groaned, rubbing her eyes to clear the sleep crust. She turned and saw Ichigo hugging Kisara and Valiona.
"Ichi-nii!" Karin shouted.
"Huh? Ichi-nii?" Yuzu mumbled, turning to her side. Karin got out of bed and shook her.
"K-Karin? Why are you shaking me? Ms. Cornwell said we had a day off."
"Ichi-Nii's here!" Karin exclaimed. Yuzu quickly shot up, scaring Xīng Chén. She rubbed her eyes, confirming Ichigo was standing in front of them.
"Ichi-nii!" Yuzu shouted, leaping off the bed. Karin grabbed Xīng Chén to prevent the dragon from getting hit and joined the hug.
"Missed you too, Yuzu," Ichigo said. Suddenly, a knock came from the door.
"What's going on in there?" a voice asked.
"Ugh, it's the president," Karin groaned, recognizing the voice.
"Karin-san, I heard that! Open this door!" The voice called out again.
Kisara, Valiona, and Yuzu broke the hug as Ichigo walked over and opened the door. He was greeted by a stunning young woman with light green eyes, a seductive body with large breasts, and long crimson hair. She wore a white coat with red decorations, a black sweater, dark red leggings, and white gloves.
"Oh, naughty, naughty. A male stranger in the girls' dorms? How naughty you two are," she teased.
Ichigo rolled his eyes. "I'm their older brother, and I arrived here by my own method," Ichigo said, showing her the letter.
"Oooh, so you're their older brother. I'm Rebecca Randall," she introduced.
"Kurosaki Ichigo. Call me Ichigo," he said.
"Then call me Rebecca," she replied.
"Okay, Becky," Ichigo teased.
"DON'T CALL ME BECKY!" she shouted.
"Give us a few minutes, and we can go down and eat breakfast," Yuzu shouted as they grabbed their clothes and ran into the bathroom.
"So, care to tell me the history of this place while we wait?" Ichigo asked.
"Sure," Rebecca replied. "Long ago, when drákōn roamed the land…"
"Drákōn? You mean dragons?" Ichigo interrupted.
"No. Drákōn are the dragons of old who are intelligent and capable of using magic," Rebecca explained. "For some unknown reason, many of the drákōn's offspring lost their intelligence and were no longer able to use magic beyond breathing fire. One drákōn discovered that the only way for their species to survive was to bond with humans. But a fully matured drákōn's magic would overwhelm any human. They realized that if a younger drákōn lived inside a human child for a period, the child's body would adapt to support the drákōn. With their last efforts, they created a being known as the Dragon Mother, who was responsible for finding the right human to give them a drákōn embryo. She mentored the first generation of Breeders before retreating into seclusion, waiting for those children to come to Albion Forest to see which one was worthy."
Rebecca paused for a moment, and then they walked down the hall. "Yuzu and Karin finally came out of the shower, wearing a uniform similar to Rebecca's. Ichigo couldn't help but notice they were slightly taller than before. Their familiars were wrapped around Yuzu's and Karin's necks."
"Must be the food or the training here," Ichigo thought.
They made their way to the cafeteria, where they ordered food.
"So how's Kaa-san and everyone else?" Yuzu asked.
"They're good. Kaa-san's been worried about you two since you left so suddenly," Ichigo replied.
"It's been weeks, and she's still worried about us," Karin muttered.
Ichigo stopped eating and stared at Karin. "What do you mean, 'weeks'? It's been only a few days."
He turned to Rebecca. "Where are we?"
Rebecca raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean? You're at Ansullivan Dragonar Academy."
Ichigo frowned. "What country are we in?"
"We're in Arc Strada," Rebecca answered.
"I've never heard of Arc Strada," Ichigo said.
Suddenly, Hōgyoku's voice interrupted. "Ichigo, stop eating! The food's drugged."
Ichigo jumped up, glaring at Rebecca. "Why is my food drugged?"
"Um… um… I don't know," Rebecca stammered.
Ichigo turned to Yuzu and Karin, who were still eating. "Stop eating and spit out the food."
Yuzu and Karin froze mid-bite, their bodies obeying Ichigo's command. Ichigo looked back at Rebecca. "Take me to the Headmistress."
Rebecca blinked, then hesitated. "The Head-?"
Ichigo's glare intensified, his anger radiating from him.
"Cú Chulainn feels frightened by this man," Rebecca thought as she sensed the fear of her dragon.
"Very well," Rebecca said, standing up and leading them down the hall.
They arrived at a door, and Rebecca knocked.
"Come in," a voice called from inside. Rebecca opened the door, and everyone filed in.
"Ah, our special students. How can I help you?" Headmistress Yaminata asked.
"You're Io Naginata Yaminata, the headmistress of this school, correct?" Ichigo asked.
"I am," Yaminata confirmed.
"Then explain to me why our food was drugged," Ichigo demanded.
Yaminata sighed. "It's school policy. All students who are not from Arc Strada are given supplements to help them accept staying here at Ansullivan Dragonar Academy."
"Not from Arc Strada?" Rebecca frowned. "We were taught that Arc Strada is the only continent."
"You're not wrong, Rebecca," Yaminata said. "For us, Arc Strada is the only continent. However, they are from a different realm."
Ichigo's eyes narrowed. "So, where exactly are we?"
"Have you heard the phrase, 'Reverse Side of the World'?"
"No," Ichigo replied.
Yaminata began to explain. "Long ago, during the Age of Gods, drákōn roamed the Earth. But as the Age of Gods ended and the Age of Man began, magic began to weaken. Many drákōn and their human companions abandoned Earth for another realm, the Reverse Side of the World, where magic still flourishes."
"I see, but that doesn't explain why you're drugging us," Ichigo pressed.
Yaminata continued. "The Albion Forest here sometimes links to a forest in your realm. Children who wander into that forest may encounter the Mother Dragon and be given a drákōn embryo. To prevent any danger, we bring the children here and raise them. The drugged food is a means to make the children accept this new life and abandon any desire to return home."
Ichigo narrowed his eyes. "Why did you invite us? None of us have a dragon embryo."
"We invited you three to Ansullivan Dragonar Academy to see if you held any clues about how to restore the drákōn or breed Dragon Pals," Yaminata explained.
"Breed dragons?" Ichigo asked, confused.
"Many of the Dragon Pals here are genderless," Yaminata said. "However, your dragons are female."
"The drugging was a method to keep you here while we studied your familiars," Yaminata added.
Suddenly, Ichigo's reiatsu flared up, pressing down heavily on everyone in the room. Yaminata and Rebecca dropped to their knees under the pressure.
"You have no right to try and use those I hold precious for your research," Ichigo growled. "If anyone here tries to contact any of us with the intention of studying us, they won't like the consequences."
Before anyone could respond, a loud explosion shook the building. A massive skeletal dragon, its bones white and glowing with crimson light from the hollow eye sockets, emerged and roared, charging toward the nearby buildings, causing destruction in its wake.
"A Skeletal Dragon!" Yaminata exclaimed. "We need to stop it!"
Rebecca nodded. "Let's go!"
Ichigo stood still. "We're only observing. If they desperately need our help, then we'll intervene."
Yuzu and Karin nodded, following as the group ran outside.
Scene Change: Town
Everyone screamed as they ran away from the Skeletal Dragon, which continued to destroy everything in its path. Suddenly, a squad of dragons flew toward the Skeletal Dragon, launching an attack. The Skeletal Dragon charged at the squad, lunging and sinking its teeth into one of the dragon's necks, instantly killing both the dragon and its rider. It spat the lifeless bodies out before resuming its assault. To everyone's shock, the dead dragon began to glow with a dark aura. Its skin melted away, revealing its skeleton. The new Skeletal Dragon stood up and joined the rampage.
Ichigo arrived just in time to witness the creation of the new Skeletal Dragon. Suddenly, something large flew past him. It was a blueish humanoid dragon with Rebecca standing on its neck, clad in violet and red armor.
"Manifest now... O ye sure-striking mystical spear... Its name … GÁE BOLG!" she shouted. A giant red spear materialized in front of her. She grabbed it and threw it toward the Skeletal Dragon. Gáe Bolg collided with the Skeletal Dragon. To everyone's surprise, the Skeletal Dragon grabbed the spear and hurled it back at Rebecca.
"Grab the spear, Cú Chulainn!" Rebecca ordered. Her red dragon roared and attempted to catch the spear. The force of the throw sent Rebecca and Cú Chulainn crashing into a nearby building. Ichigo summoned Ryūgonken.
"Conquer all who dare challenge my power, Ryūgonken!" Ichigo shouted. A pillar of fire engulfed him, and when it disappeared, Ichigo was clad in red armor, holding Ryūgonken with its cross-guard pointed at the Skeletal Dragon.
"Ryū kajiarashi bakuha!" Ichigo yelled as he fired a barrage of fire arrows. The arrows struck the Skeletal Dragon in the chest, sending it crashing to the ground. Ichigo stared at the fallen creature.
'ROAR!' the Skeletal Dragon bellowed, its roar causing a shockwave that blew away the surrounding dust.
"He survived a direct hit?" Ichigo thought. "Is the Skeletal Dragon stronger than I thought?"
"No. You are stronger than the Skeletal Dragon many times over," Kisara said, appearing beside him with Valiona.
"The issue is that all dragons here can only be defeated by another dragon, a drákōn, or a weapon forged by a dragon," Valiona explained.
"Wait. Couldn't either of you attack the Skeletal Dragon?" Ichigo asked.
"No," Valiona replied. "Despite how powerful we are, Skeletal Dragons can resist all dragon attacks, physical or magical."
"So, we need a weapon forged by a dragon," Ichigo concluded.
"Yes," Valiona confirmed.
"Do you trust us, Ichigo?" Kisara asked.
"I do," Ichigo answered.
"We need to borrow Ryūgonken," Kisara said.
"Why?" Ichigo asked.
"We plan to reforge Ryūgonken using the knowledge we've gained here," Valiona explained.
"Very well," Ichigo said as he deactivated Ryūgonken and handed the blade over to Kisara and Valiona. They nodded in acknowledgment as they took the sword. Closing their eyes, they focused on the teachings of the other dragons.
Flashback
They were outside watching Rebecca and Cú Chulainn train. Rebecca had summoned her red armor and wielded the giant spear, Gáe Bolg. Kisara and Valiona approached them.
"Hello, Kisara, Valiona. How can I help you?" Rebecca asked.
"We were wondering if we could speak with Cú Chulainn," Kisara said.
"Sure," Rebecca responded, jumping off Cú Chulainn. "I'm going to take a break." She dematerialized her armor and spear and walked away.
"Hello, great ancestors. How may I be of service?" Cú Chulainn greeted them in Drákōn Parseltongue, the ancient language drákōns used among themselves.
"So, you know who we are?" Valiona replied in Drákōn Parseltongue.
"Yes. Despite my partner not sensing it, I, and many of the other dragons, can tell who you are, Maiden of Infernos," Cú Chulainn answered.
"We have a few questions; do you think you can answer them?" Kisara asked.
"I will try to answer them to the best of my ability, Maiden of Destruction," Cú Chulainn said.
"How do you create that armor and spear for Rebecca?" Valiona asked.
"To create the armor and spear, you must enter the Drákōn Workshop," Cú Chulainn explained.
"The Drákōn Workshop?" Kisara asked.
"It is a place within our mind, where we create unique armor and weapons for our partners," Cú Chulainn clarified.
"How would we access the Drákōn Workshop?" Valiona asked.
"It is not something you can simply think about and enter. It requires a strong bond with your master. Your master must trust you and your ability to create armor suited for them," Cú Chulainn explained.
"What if we have an old suit of armor that we wish to reforge?" Kisara asked.
"Reforging a suit of armor is risky. Sometimes it works, and you get stronger armor. Other times, it backfires," Cú Chulainn replied.
"What about the weapon?" Valiona inquired.
"The same thing applies to the weapon," Cú Chulainn answered.
Flashback Ends
"We've got one shot at this," Valiona said.
Kisara nodded in agreement. They both held Ryūgonken with both hands, closing their eyes in concentration.
"Good luck, you two," Ichigo thought as he summoned Kokugatsu. Ichigo charged forward to distract the Skeletal Dragon.
Anyways… hope you enjoyed the chapter.

With the legal stuff done, this chapter was inspired by ideas emailed to me from Bloody Rogue Dragon Deity King, Rogue Deity Master, and Bloody Dragon Fang. I apologize if I altered the original concept.
Author's notes:
Io Naginata Yaminata is an OC that one of my loyal readers, Rogue Deity Master, allowed me to use.
What the Chaos Pieces did was that it created a new body for them. It is similar to a gigai, where only a set amount of reiatsu can be used at a time.
According to the Overwatch Wiki, the current Overwatch is based 60 years ago. It was estimated 60 years ago sometime between 2014 to 2016. I decided to use May 24, 2016, since that was when Overwatch was released. Hana was born in the year 2035, 19 years after 2016. I put her age at about 20 so she was in the year 2055 when she died.
