Chapter 94: Silent
I don't know what to think about the people in front of me. Especially after the loud moaning sound, Kuroka releases as if she feels the most pleasant orgasm she ever felt in her life. I look at Ophis and say.
"Do you know why she moans loudly?"
"En? Natural Energy. Pure."
"Ah…"
I guess I can understand why she moans loudly. It is common sense in the DxD world that Natural Energy is tainted and can be poisonous to the Senjutsu practitioner. The reason is that the pollution the human created and all the hate living being released to each other tainted the energy even more.
I nod my head and levitate Kuroka and let her and Ophis into my mansion. After I let Ophis sit down on the couch where Lucina sat next to her. When I was about to go to the kitchen and take out some cookies, I heard her saying.
"You are warm."
I smile a little when I see Ophis decide to use Lucina's lap as her new place to make a nest. When I arrive in the kitchen, I take two jars of cookies from the kitchen shelves and bring them to the living room.
When I arrive in the living room, I can see Ophis nuzzled up against Lucina. If not for the cannon knowledge, I will think that Ophis is a kitten. I sit down next to Lucina, and as I sit down next to her, Ophis looks at me and begins to crawl on my lap.
"You know, While I don't mind you being here, can you tell me the reason why you are here?"
"Silent."
"Ah… Do you want it now?"
"Nu?"
"Yes, you can. Do you want it?"
"En"
"Come on then."
I take her to the silent room—the room where I train my mental strength. You could say that this room is a Sensory deprivation room ultimate edition. Unlike your normal Sensory deprivation room, where there is only reduction or removal of stimuli from one or more of the senses, this one removes all your sensory function. You cannot see, feel, taste, smell, and hear anything.
"Here is the room where you can find your silence. Sadly, it cannot last forever. It can only last for three days. I hope you understand."
"En."
"Then go ahead."
After seeing Ophis walk inside the room, I close the door and walk to the living room, where I see Lucina eat some cookies while Kuroka is still unconscious on the sofa in front of Lucina. I sit down next to Lucina and say.
"So, what should we do now?"
"... Do you want to upgrade your spear?"
"Sure, why not. I also want to make a short sword for Ginerva and bow for Eli."
"That is a great idea."
"Come on. I want to experiment with some runes that I read in the books."
We then walk to the forge, where we are getting ready for upgrading our weapon and armor.

|Kuroka POV|
"Urgh… What?"
I look around and see that I'm inside someone's house. Was all of that just a dream? However, by the Natural Energy's I can feel here, I guess it was not a dream. I sit down on what looks like a sofa and look around the room.
The room is filled with decorations that show how fancy the owner of this place is. After a few seconds of looking around, I get up and ready to search for the owner of this place. However, before she could walk, she saw Ophis coming out from one of the rooms with a small smile on her face.
"Ophis-sama."
"Cat."
I sigh a little when I hear her say that. I served her for a year, but not a single time she called me by my name. She is either called Black Cat or just plainly called cat. I'm not a cat, you know! I'm a Nekomata! Not a cat!
"What are you doing inside that room, Ophis-sama?"
"Silent"
"Huh?"
I continue to stare at Ophis, waiting for an explanation, but I sigh and say when I see she does not want to explain.
"So, why are you getting out of the room?"
"Cookies"
Ophis passed me a cookie jar as if it was the answer I'm looking for.
"Errr… I don't have any cookies, Ophis-sama."
"Mu…. Cookies"
"I also cannot bake it for you. Do you remember the last time I bake something? I burn our headquarters."
"Muuuu"
And I'm not kidding. For some unknown reason, I cannot bake a dessert! I can cook just fine even though everyone who eats my cooking becomes green; I'm a fine cook! However, when it comes to baking or making some dessert, it either becomes a blaze of inferno or an explosion.
"How about we go and search for the owner of this place, and then you can for another serving of cookies."
"En"
I nodded my head, but before I could walk around, I remembered that I did not know where the owner of this place was.
"Ophis-sama, did you know the location of the couple that came with us?"
Ophis tilted her head and began to walk toward where I think the owner of this place was. After a few seconds of walking, I can hear a clunking noise coming from one of the rooms where we are heading. Not only clunking noises, but there is also the sound of a hammer hitting metal.
When Ophis opened the door, I could see it was a forge with a massive metal heater, anvil, and grinder. I can also see many types of weapons lying in the corner of the room. While I'm not an expert in swords, I know enough of them that I can see that the sword in the corner of the room is exceptional.
However, what catches my eyes is the couple in front of me. The hammering and heating of the metal is a common blacksmith technique. What catches my eyes is the energy both of them are releasing. Each blow the hammer does to the metal, there is energy infused inside the metal in front of them. Each time the woman places the metal inside the heater, the fire around the metal follows the woman's order as if she has absolute control over the fire.
And because of my Senjutsu, I can see the energy of the couple releasing. The woman releases Qi from her body to temper the metal's outer shell while the young man releases his Mana to enchant the inner side of the metal.
It was like looking at Yin and Yang dancing together, teasing each other with each touch. It was beautiful and terrifying at the same time. Beautiful because it was like looking at Aurora Borealis in the night northern sky. It was terrifying because of how much control they have.
Just how long do they train their energy to have that kind of control?
"Oh?!? Ophis! Why do you get out of the room?"
I snap from my thought when I hear the man greet Ophis with a smile on his face.
"Cookies"
When Ophis says that, the man smiles sadly and says.
"Sorry, that is the last batch of cookies I have."
"Mu"
"I can bake another batch if you want?"
"En?!?"
"Yup. After we finish this, I will bake many cookies for you."
"En!"
The man smiled at Ophis before looking at me right in the eyes.
"And what can I do for you?"
".... Can I watch you two?"
Dammit, mouth.
"Sure. As long as you did not touch anything, I don't mind."
"I promise."
"Good. Oh! Before that, let me introduce myself, My name is Isaac Lionheart, and this beautiful lady over here is Lucina Lionheart, My wife."
Wait, he is already married?!?
