Chapter 33: Kasha

Once Kuroka and Shirone are gone, I come out of the lake.

Damn, it's cold. The water in the lake was freezing. I'm going to put on the clothes Tiamat gave me quickly, so I can warm up a bit.

I'd like to have a towel to dry myself, but I think that's too much to ask.

For now, let's see what clothes Tiamat has brought me.

For starters, she brought me some black Calvin Klein underwear.

Wait, Calvin Klein brand? Didn't she go to the town near the woods?

Where exactly did she go?

I think it's better not to know, and I don't think it's that important.

They're exactly my size, although it's getting a little tight where you guys are concerned.

Next is a black T-shirt. It's a basic T-shirt you can find in any store.

Brown cargo shorts. These are pants with multiple pockets, they were convenient in my previous life.

I have a problem here, and that's that I don't know what to do with my tail. The pants are made for humans, and there's no way human pants can have a space for the tail.

The only solution I can see is to make a pair of pants to make a hole for the tail.

All I need now are my shoes and my sweatshirt.

The shoes are black sneakers, with no visible brand.

The sweatshirt is short-sleeved, with a design that makes it look like the sleeves have been torn off, it's black like most clothes.

Now that I've finished getting dressed I'm going to go have dinner with the girls.

It sucks that I'm still wet since my clothes are getting wet too.

...…

Tiamat had cut down three tree trunks and left them on the ground. Tiamat and I sat on two of the logs while Kuroka and Shirone were sharing the remaining log.

The logs are placed in such a way that they seem to be forming a triangle, and the fire is set in the middle.

"Why didn't you dry off before you got dressed?"

I wish I'd dried up, you know? But I don't have any towels for that.

"I-I can!"

"What do you say, Kuroka?"

Kuroka had risen from her seat in excitement, but now that I have asked her, she seems to have backed away. Her face is flushed, and she is avoiding looking at me.

"Eto... We, the Nekomata, have a special skill called [Kasha]. I... can dry you out with it."

She's playing with her fingers as she talks.

"It's okay if you don't want my help, and I would understand perfectly. After all, I was the one who almost attacked--"

"I'd be very grateful if you could dry me off!"

I needed to stop Kuroka before she continued to blame herself for a little misunderstanding. The previous conflict was no big deal, and it could have been resolved even if Tiamat were not present at the time.

I understand her reaction and her hatred for the devils. And although I don't know what has led to such an overreaction, I do have some idea why she has reacted this way.

"O-Okay."

Kuroka rises from her seat and approaches my side of the campfire.

She sits down next to me. She's a little stiff.

"Kuroka?"

"Yes!"

She was a bit startled, but soon closed her eyes and concentrated. After a few moments, she lifted her hands and a wheel covered in black flames appeared out of nowhere.

"Is that Senjutsu?" I asked.

"Yes. We Nekomatas have a unique technique called [Kasha], which allows us to create these flame-covered wheels as long as we accumulate enough Ki. With my current power, I can create eight of them at once."

She moves her arm a couple more times and another seven wheels of black flame where summoned.

"Aren't [Kasha's] flames white? I have seen many Nekomatas in my life, and many of them knew how to use [Kasha], but none of them showed black flames." Tiamat asks Kuroka.

Kuroka does not answer immediately and concentrates on circling the wheels around my body.

I can feel my body drying up.

"My [Kasha] used to be white, and it contained the power of purification. But it lost that purifying power and the colour turned black when the experiments began. My [Kasha] can no longer consider herself as such after losing her purification."

I can feel the anger, the hate, and the pain in Kuroka's voice.

But...

"They are beautiful."

"Huh?"

"The flames are beautiful. They may have lost their purification, but they are still warm. I don't know what your [Kasha] was like before she went through that hell, but I don't think you should dwell on what she was and accept what you have now. For my part, these dark flames make me feel warm on the outside and warm on the inside."

I tell Kuroka what I think from my heart, and I swear my intentions are pure.

I don't know how the DxD Kuroka managed to overcome her trauma after the events in the Naberius family. Perhaps it was because of her great love for her sister that she managed to survive and move on.

I don't care how she managed it, all I see now is a fourteen-year-old girl suffering because some devils took away what was hers, they have sullied the purity of her [Kasha].

I cannot watch this and stand by.

I raise my hand and hold it to her face.

"W-W-What are you doing?"

Kuroka stutters and protests, but does nothing to prevent my actions.

"Don't be silly, let me dry your tears."

With my thumb, I wipe the tears from the girl's eyes. She lowers her head slightly, diverting her eyes from mine.

"Is it true?" murmurs Kuroka.

"Mmh?"

"Do you really like my [Kasha]"

That's what he meant by that.

"Ufufufu, that's a funny question, Kuroka. We dragons never lie, since we don't need to lie. Come to think of it, it's amusing how honest we dragons can be. Even the dreaded ones who receive the title of Evil Dragons are honest, as they never try to hide that they are evil. What I mean, little Kuroka, is that if Draco says he likes it, he likes it. We always tell the truth."


Chapter 34: Kittens

"Ufufufu, that's a funny question, Kuroka. We dragons never lie, since we don't need to lie. Come to think of it, it's amusing how honest we dragons can be. Even the dreaded ones who receive the title of Evil Dragons are honest, as they never try to hide that they are evil. What I mean, little Kuroka, is that if Draco says he likes it, he likes it. We always tell the truth."

Tiamat is covering her mouth with one hand while she talks.

Damn, she's so erotic.

Kuroka's eight [Kasha] are still spinning around me, running through every part of my body that's still wet.

After wiping away Kuroka's tears, she's looked away from me. She is looking at the fire as she continues to move her hands to control her [Kasha]. She has remained silent since I answered her question and Tiamat gave her speech about the supposed "honesty" of the dragon race.

From the moment I met her, she has always spoken well of the dragons, and there is no doubt that she is proud to belong to the dragon race. Although she was angry with the Heavenly Dragons for fighting among themselves, with Ddraig even more for losing her treasures, she has never despised them. She has even spoken well of the infamous Evil Dragons, appreciating the honesty they have despite committing such evil and irrational acts.

"I've made up my mind!"

Kuroka suddenly jumps out of her seat on the log. She's clenching her fists, and her gaze is determined.

"What have you decided?" I ask her.

I'm curious about what she's decided. I mean, she was so quiet and shy, and now it seems like her personality has changed 180 degrees. Where did she get so much energy?

"Huh? Nothing, I haven't decided anything."

Kuroka hurries to deny her words and sits hastily on the log. Unfortunately for me, Kuroka loses a little control over his [Kasha].

"It burns!"

"Excuse me!"

Luckily, Kuroka reacts in time before the situation worsens. The final result was a minor burn on my cheek, nothing serious.

[Resistance Skill [Fire Resistance: Lv1] acquired]

I missed you...

Who am I kidding?

Sigh...

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Kuroka was quickly apologizing. She did not stop mumbling as she held a frightened look.

"It's all right, it's not that bad."

"But, but, but I've hurt you once more."

This stupid girl...

There's no trace of the playful Kuroka who appeared in the light novels...

The [Kasha] have disappeared because I'm already completely dried out. Kuroka still sits beside me, her head bowed and tears threatening to fall from her eyes. Shirone and Tiamat had stopped eating dinner and were looking at Kuroka with concern.

I have to get Kuroka to relax somehow. One of the many forms of affection I have seen in the anime is rubbing the other person's hair, so I will try with Kuroka.

"Huh!"

Kuroka's body becomes rigid when I touch her head, and she looks at me with wide eyes. I give her a comforting smile (or so I try) to convey that all is well.

I'm not going to waste this opportunity, and I take the opportunity to touch Kuroka's ears.

They're so smooth and fluffy...

I think I might get addicted to this.

"Draco..."

"Tell me."

Kuroka's hesitating to talk.

"I really didn't mean to hurt you, can you forgive me?"

So that's what it was.

Why don't I play with it a little?

"I don't know if I can forgive you, that [Kasha] has hurt me enough. It still hurts me..."

I try to give a dramatic performance by covering the part of my face that Kuroka can see. At the same time, the uncovered eye (wich Kuroka can't see) is winking at Shirone.

"Does it hurt? I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

This little girl...

Shirone is holding her laughter in both hands, and Tiamat has her lips curled up. Looks like my performance isn't so bad, huh?

"Should I forgive you? But I've already forgiven you once, forgiving you again without getting anything in return wouldn't pay off..."

Will she take the bait? Will she throw herself right on the hook?

"Anything! I'll do anything you ask in return for your forgiveness!"

She's gone straight down.

I open the distance between my index and middle finger so I can see Kuroka's face.

"Anything?"

"Yes! I'll do anything!"

Heeeeee.

"Draco-nii, that smile of yours is a little scary."

Sorry, little Shirone. I didn't mean to scare you.

"Well, I'll forgive you if you tell me exactly what you've decided before."

"Huh? That... Can't I do anything else?"

When she hears my request, Kuroka's determination wanes a little.

"So you were lying to me when you said you'd do anything..."

"No! I wasn't lying!"

"So..."

Kuroka seems anxious, and she keeps looking in all directions. Is she looking for a way out?

"I'm going to..."

Kuroka's voice grows weaker with each word he says, to the point where I cannot hear it. But I seem to be the only one who has not heard it, as Shirone has opened her mouth and eyes wide and Tiamat has a strange gleam in her eyes.

"I didn't hear you, can you speak louder?"

I was curious to see the reaction of the two girls, what exactly did Kuroka say?

"I'm going to have children with you."

"What?"

I think I hear wrong.

"I'm going to have children with you! I want to have little kittens with you! I want to have lots of kittens with you!"

No, I'm not mishearing.

But there was no need to shout so loudly, Kuroka. I've gone from not listening to you because you talk too softly, to almost going blind because you shout too loudly.

"Nee-sama! That's not fair! You can't get ahead of yourself!"

"I'm sorry, Shirone. First come, first served."

"No! I want to have kittens with Draco-nii too!"

"You're too little, you can't have kittens yet. Your big sister has her period, so she can have kittens without any problem. You still have many years left."

What is this surreal discussion between the two Nekoshou?

They deny my existence. Why don't you ask me if I want to have kittens with you?

"Kuroka, Shirone, you must first ask Draco's consent if you want to have children with him."

In the end, you understand me best, Tia.

"Draco!" Draco-nii!"

"Do you want to have kittens with us?"

Seriously... What position are you putting me in right now? You're just little girls...

"Of course!"

I CAN'T SAY NO. NOT WHEN THEY LOOK AT ME WITH THOSE LITTLE EYES.

"Oh, that's nice! Draco-nii loves us, Nee-sama."

"Yes!"

Tiamat is giving me an accusatory look that is piercing my body. I feel sorry for her, but I still have a long way to go before I reach her level of power. I'd love to be making little dragons with her, but Tia has her own pride.

But, if she actually accepted all three of them, this would turn into polygamy. I'm not going to deny that I had certain expectations when I found out I was in DxD, but actually getting a harem feels kind of surreal.

This was something I never would have thought I could do in my previous life.

I feel a little guilty about Tiamat since she was the first one I confessed to. Besides, it was only a day ago, and now I'm accepting as a couple two girls I hardly know.

That's another one, the two sisters and I barely know each other, it's impossible that they fell in love with me just because I rescued them. Those things only happen in anime.

Wait, we're in an anime world.

Don't think about it anymore, Draco, and just enjoy the stage in front of you.

Kuroka and Shirone hugging and shedding tears of joy.
