Chapitre 90: Mature Lady
"Haahhh... Haahhh... Cooled off enough now?" A wounded Lu asked grimly, to the lady before him. Although having several small cuts, he doesn't seem tired at all.
"This ought to be enough to teach you a lesson... for now." Orihime sighed in exasperation.
"Lesson learned, milady~." He smirked as he beckoned her to sit down once more. The kitsune followed as she harrumphed.
"So? Tell me about this sword, already." She started their chat with some information gathering.
"You see-
"Don't even try it. Say that its just a 'normal' sword, or one more joke and you're dead..." Orihime stared menacingly into his eyes.
"As you wish, milady~." Lu playfully grinned at the irritated Kitsune Saiguu.
"You see, if you didn't interrupt me, I could have told you already that it's just a sword I found during my travels as an immortal." He explained smugly, which he immediately retracted back due to the dangerous stare the lady was giving him.
"It definitely has some historical background into it, but I doubt you care much about it... It It would be simpler to just treat it as a training tool." The deity finished, then drank his tea with a satisfied sigh.
"So you stole it?" She raised her eyebrow.
"Indeed." He only responded with his usual smile.
"How wonderful~. The people of that place must be really grateful after you stole their country's treasure~." Orihime praised sarcastically.
"No, no. It's nothing much. You need not praise me. Kuhahaha~!..." Lu basked in his glory.
"You're shameless..." She stared at him with disdain.
"They aren't using it, so why not? Plus, my collector instincts kinda forced me to..." He cut his defense with a shrug.
"You better be only collecting treasures." The kitsune strictly said.
"Yes, I am. You can trust me on that." The deity gave her a side look, which was something she didn't miss.
"Can I?" Lu inquired while offering her his hand.
"W-what do you mean?" She fidgeted on her seat.
"Do I have your consent to continue?" He replied with an ambiguous look. The flustered Orihime only remained a statue and kept silent.
"You leave me no choice..."
"W-Wait, Lu! I-I uhm... You may..." The lady meekly agreed.
"Hmm... Interesting." But she was shocked to see her rival focused on another thing entirely.
"Oh, this? It's the same thing I did with Shuten back then." He waved a piece of paper to the flabbergasted Orihime.
She only looked down and giggled creepily.
(I might actually kill you one of these days, Sasayori....)
The deity unconsciously shivered in his seat.

(Three EX specials... One from her reputation as the Kitsune Saiguu. Another was a blessing due to her, being a divine priestess, and an ability from her new vessel. Being a devout believer has its own benefits, huh?...)
(But no signs of a realm as I expected. She wasn't much of a fighter in the first place anyway... Hypothetically, if she were to achieve in making one... It would be four-What the hell?!!!)
"What are you spacing out for?" The lady of his daydreams asked.
"Nothing. Just appreciating how much of a treasure you are~." Lu teased.
"Hmph~! 𝘈𝘴 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘶𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘮𝘶𝘤𝘩 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 𝘐 𝘨𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘺𝘰𝘶... and the others." Orihime murmured to herself while blushing.
"Come again?" The confused deity quered.
"I said, 'how long are you gonna stare at that parchment for?' Genius~." She hid her embarrassment with a smirk.
"As long as I need to~. Come here, I'll show you what you're missing out on." He gestured for her to sit beside him.
"...This better be worth it." Orihime uttered in suspicion, before accepting his offer.
She stood up from her seat gracefully and proceeded to walk around the table until she ended up next to him. The Kitsune Saiguu then took her seat and examined the parchment calmly.
That is until the other party makes his move...
"Hyaannn~! Get your hands off me at this instant, Lu." Orihime ordered to her seatmate, who slithered his hand around his waist.
"No~?" He stated... questioned?... while smirking.
"... You asked for this, Lu..." She muttered in a dangerous tone.
"Wha-?" Raiden Lu wasn't able to finish his sentence as he was suddenly choked by an angry lady.
"I'll be sure to suck all of your energy dry so you wouldn't have the ability to jest like this anymore..." The mad kitsune stated.
"Heh~! That was pretty erotic from you- Guh!"
"Shut it!!!" Orihime shut him up while blushing from her mistake. His shitting grin was replaced by a painful grunt as she choked him tighter.
His world was going blurry once more. He hasn't had enough of this, apparently...
(Sigh* If I'm going out like this... I would rather be choked in another way-) Was his final message.
"... For some reason, I feel more irritated all of the sudden..." She said, then hit the already unconscious deity.

"Uhm... What happened here?" Makoto asked as her and his sister arrived at a bizarre scene.
The place was a mess. The table was dirtied by a spilt tea. And her beloved sleeping soundly while having a 'really' noticeable mark on his neck.
"You won't get anything from me... Wake him up if you need answers." Orihime answered with a disinterested tone.
"Then why are you sitting this close to him?... Shouldn't you be there, at the other side of the table?" Ei interrogated with a skeptical expression.
"... I was planning to do so but then you guys showed up..." The Kitsune Saiguu went back to her original seat silently.
The twins took this chance to place themselves on both of his sides and woke him up.
"Wake up already, Lu~! The food is w.a.i.t.i.n.g." The cheerful former archon pulled him back and forth until he opened his eyes.
"Huh? Where am I?..." Lu questioned in a whisper.
"Hey, husband. If you like this kind of things, you shouldve just told us..." The awoken deity was greeted by a horny Ei. The usual Ei.
(Oh, right... Umu! I see...) He clearly wasn't in the right head yet...

Yo!
Apologies for being gone for three days. I was having a bit of a stomach problem.
I swear to god, I will have ptsd everytime I enter a bathroom in the future...
Enough of that! Here's some good news for once.
Apparently, having free time for a few days can do wonders...
I am glad to announce that the plot for the Snezhnaya arc is already finished. I just need to improvise for whatever info Genshin gives us about the Harbingers before we get there.
It would take around 20 - 30 chapters. It would basically be half the third volume. I couldn't really call this an interlude anymore...
Knave and the Tsaritsa are officially in the harem too. The ??? is not the Tsaritsa. I just had a brainfart and forgot about her because she doesn't have a name.
The arc would revolve around the confrontation between the two mcs and the Ice Queen. Though there would be a lot of people hit in the crossfire...
I went crazy today and was able to make three chapters. I'm fully ready for the incoming headache later. I would be stocking them for now though, so there wouldn't be any problems with the upload schedule for the next week.
As for the powerstones... I would just count the one I remember before it all went downhill, which is Rank 104. Another chapter added to my debt.
I can't really remember how many chapters it is, so I'll just say 5 chapters for now.
That's all! See ya on probably not tomorrow!
