章節 2032: In the Spirit of Keeping Promises...
After safely storing away the cozy little villa they had lived in for the past three years, Vahn guided himself and Ureko back to reality using one of the anchors he left behind. This just so happened to be a version of himself, so, after waving to the pseudo-clone and returning it to nothingness, Vahn looked around the area with a reminiscent smile on his face, remarking, "It's amazing how time can just fly by...three years now feels like a blink. Despite that, it feels like forever since I last witnessed this scene..."
Though he hadn't addressed her directly, Vahn's words were obviously intended for Ureko. To his surprise, however, she didn't respond to him. Instead, she stood at his side with her head hanging down, bangs covering her eyes, absolutely silent.
Remembering the discussion they had had prior to their emergence, a wry smile developed across Vahn's face as he said, "Tongue..." in a helpless yet commanding tone.
Jolting in response to the deeply ingrained command, Ureko immediately raised her head to reveal glowing red eyes. She looked like she might attack him at any moment, yet, in spite of this, she still opened her mouth wide, chin raised, as she presented her abnormally developed canines and ruby red tongue.
Wrapping his arm around the tomboyish beauty's waste, Vahn reduced the distance between them to zero, whispering, "Good girl..." before bending down to suckle on her tongue. This quickly turned into a passionate kiss that caused Ureko's body temperature to increase so drastically that Vahn was pretty sure he could crack open an egg and fry it on the small of her back.
After separating their lips with a bit of effort, Vahn gazed into Ureko's deep crimson eyes, a serious expression on his face as he resisted the urge to ask if she was okay. Instead, his tone became even more severe than usual as he maintained steady eye contact and said, "Present." with a fair amount of authority infused into his voice.
Though Ureko's circular pupils immediately turned into draconic slits, she didn't immediately lash out and try to attack him. She also didn't move a muscle, so, with his own aura descending like the literal Heavens, Vahn adopted a slightly aggressive tone as he said, "Ureko. Present. Now."
With a violent tremble running through her body, Ureko immediately broke free from his embrace before dropping to the devastated and rocky terrain with a dazed yet heated look in her eyes. Then, despite the fact she was still wearing clothes, she tore apart the fabric before dutifully prying herself open to reveal a white-hot interior that dripped liquid hot enough to create a hissing noise when it impacted the ground. This would have terrified a normal person, but, as could be seen in his ability to create a fortress-like castle with the wave of his hand, Vahn was anything but normal...
...
..
.
Carrying a very contented-looking Ureko in his arms, much like the Princess she actually was, Vahn teleported back to the 199th Floor. This gave him a moment of pause, nostalgia washing over him like a warm current as he looked skyward and noticed Naruto riding on Latias's back as Latios gave chase...
Noticing Vahn's sudden pause, Ureko ceased staring at her lower abdomen long enough to look up and ask, "Is something the matter?" before following his line of sight. Then, much like Vahn, a smile developed across her face as she mused, "I hope our kid gets along with your other brats..."
Chuckling in response to Ureko's musings, Vahn habitually nuzzled his forehead against hers as he said, "So long as you hold that thought close to heart, it is bound to become a reality. Now, let's go. We need to explain the situation to the others before getting you settled in."
Groaning like a spoiled teenager, Ureko turned her face away from him before complaining, "Why'd you have to remind me? I know I'm the one who originally targetted you, but I still can't believe I'm now a member of a massive harem...like...what even am I? A wife? A mistress? A concubine? A piece of ass you keep off to the side...?"
Without a moment's hesitation, Vahn answered, "You're Ureko Mazino, an outstanding woman with one of the most resolute characters I've ever met. It is ultimately up to you to decide what you want to be. My duty is to support you to the best of my ability, regardless of the choice you make along the way. To that end, it doesn't matter if you want to reestablish your clan, travel the multiverse, or even conquer the heavens. I will always be there for you."
Though she didn't blush like a normal girl, Vahn could tell Ureko from the way she rolled her eyes and failed to conceal a smile. She had defined herself by her independence, so, while her goal was to reestablish her clan, she didn't actually want to get wrapped up in the politics of governance. If anything, she just wanted to watch over their son, safeguarding him until he was ready to venture out and establish a clan of his own. After that...well, even she didn't know what she wanted to do...
...
..
.
Since the vast majority of his harem had already been aware of his impending 'battle' with Ureko, none of the girls were particularly surprised when Vahn showed up the pregnant half-dragoness in his arms. They were more surprised by the fact he had been gone three years, but, understanding this would be the norm in the future, they primarily focused on asking whether or not he was okay before whisking Ureko away for questioning.
With the case of Ureko largely resolved, Vahn only had one pressing concern to deal with before departing the Tower. In all honesty, this number was actually closer to thirty, but, having come to the realization he didn't need to personally resolve everything on his own, Vahn was willing to let a few loose ends remain untied. Thus, with the intent of fulfilling the promise he had made near the very beginning of his journey through the Tower, Vahn waited a few days before calling Yuri to his room.
Arriving less than a minute later, Vahn was unsurprised when Yuri practically burst through his door and asked, "What's up? Wanna fuck...?" with an expectant smile on her face.
With a characteristically wry smile on his face, Vahn gestured for the buxom Saiyaness to come and take a seat on his lap before explaining, "We'll be leaving the Tower pretty soon. Before that, I need you to finish your Quest and gather the rest of the Thirteen Month Series. It's time for those girls to get their lives back."
Though she was a little disappointed he didn't call her to have sex, the idea of battling against the current holders of the Thirteen Months brought a smile to Yuri's face. Before agreeing to go off and search, however, she wrapped her arms around Vahn's neck and unabashedly asked, "Are you going to make them a part of your harem? If so, you have to invite me along when you play with the Black March and Green April. I owe those bitches for putting me through so much shit in the past..."
With an even wrier smile on his face, Vahn didn't immediately answer Yuri's question. He knew that the Black March would probably 'insist' she stay with him but he couldn't be certain how the Green April would react, much less the rest of the series. He merely wanted to free them from their curse, but, if it came down to it, he could see himself doing his best to make them happy...
("Let's just hope the other Spirits aren't also lolis...")
Though the majority of his women were relatively curvaceous and mature, the number of petite and borderline childlike women in Vahn's harem wasn't small. There were even times when he felt like it might be related to a hidden Innate. This might sound like complete nonsense, but, after traversing multiple Records and meeting countless young girls who were, in actuality, exponentially older than him, Vahn had his reasons for believing this was the case...
Shaking that thought from his mind, Vahn decided to focus on the buxom beauty right in front of him, smiling as he said, "We'll see...". Then, before setting out to surprise a certain Commander-in-Chief, he made love to the ravenous warrior woman for the better part of an entire day...
...

With the 'disappearance' of her father, Adori had been so busy tending to uprisings and rebellions that she hadn't slept in weeks. This wasn't normally an issue for a High Ranker of her caliber, but, as the stress continued to pile up, bags had started to form under her eyes despite her best efforts to appear calm and implacable in front of her subordinates.
Fortunately, while she had been under tremendous stress, Adori wasn't alone in her struggles. She had the direct support of Senna, and, thanks to the joint efforts of the Tu Perie, Arie, Ari, and Khun Families, things hadn't gotten completely out of hand. Rather, now that the contracts binding them had suddenly disappeared, people like Eduan and Hon were basically having a field day as they cut down anyone who attempted to take advantage of the chaos sweeping through the Tower.
If there was anything Adori had to genuinely complain about, it was the fact Vahn hadn't appeared even once since the death of her father. Jahad had entrusted her with one final mission prior to his death, and, unlike the majority of now-deposed Princesses, Adori still believed in her father's dream of preserving the peace and stability of the Tower. This was something she was willing to lay her life down to achieve, so, even if she was more than a little nervous about meeting him face-to-face, she 'needed' to see Vahn before things got too out of hand.
What Adori didn't expect was for a sudden presence to appear out of thin air two minutes into her first break in days. This caused her brain to pulse from the migraine she had been experiencing, but, seeing the faces of Vahn and Yuri, a substantial amount of relief washed over her mind and body as she accidentally voiced her thoughts, saying, "You certainly took your time..."
Restraining a chuckle, Vahn adopted his usual carefree smile as he answered, "Had I known a beauty was waiting for me, I would have appeared a lot sooner."
Punctuating his words with a wink, Vahn was marginally surprised when a bit of red spread through Adori's otherwise porcelain white cheeks. He already knew about the 'mission' Jahad had given her, but, seeing the golden-haired beauty's bashful reaction, it was clear she had been thinking about it a lot more than he anticipated...
Suddenly feeling awkward, Vahn motioned to scratch the back of his head before nearly falling over when Yuri spontaneously asked, "Oh~? What's this? The infamously impassive Adori is actually able to display such a cute response? This just got a whole lot more interesting~."
Despite maintaining an unflustered appearance, Adori's cheeks became noticeably redder as she shifted her gaze towards Yuri and calmly stated, "I have no idea what you're talking about..." in a soft monotone.
Smiling even wider, Yuri attempted to approach Adori only for the latter to immediately manifest her Carrier and ask, "What do you think you're doing?"
Without losing her smile, Yuri answered, "I should be asking you that. You're clearly having some lew-"
Before Yuri could finish, Vahn promptly recalled her to the 199th Floor. He clearly wasn't going to need her to recover this particular Thirteen Month Series, so, while his duplicate vessel was dealing with her, he adopted a slightly apologetic smile and said, "Sorry about that...Yuri can sometimes be a little...brash..."
With her Carrier gradually bleeding back into the void, Adori exhaled a sigh before shaking her head and saying, "No. This is my fault. As uncouth as her words might have been, there is also some truth to them. I believe you are also aware of it, correct? The final duty my father entrusted to me?"
Restraining a sigh of his own, Vahn nodded his head before muttering, "Seek happiness or seduce the Sage Dragon Emperor..."
Though the actual request was a lot more complicated and wordy, Vahn's words struck at the very heart of the matter. Jahad had wanted her to leave the Empire and start a journey of her own, but, understanding Adori's character, he couldn't imagine her abandoning the people and venturing out to obtain happiness. Thus, in a very roundabout way, Jahad shifted the burden of Adori's happiness onto Vahn's shoulders. By seducing him, she could not only guarantee the peace and stability of the Empire, but, by 'sacrificing' herself, she would no longer be bound by the duty that had dictated her life for the last five-thousand-years.
Following a curt nod, Adori reached up to the clasps keeping her flowery cloak in place. This caused the surprisingly heavy garment to crash to the ground, and, though it didn't leave her naked, seeing her lean yet flawless physique wrapped in little more than a black and white bodysuit was quite the sight to behold. It perfectly contrasted her long golden hair, and, despite the reddening of her face, the resolute glimmer in her golden eyes implied she wouldn't simply take no for an answer.
Truth be told, Vahn was expecting something like this to occur ever since he learned that the Spirit of the Golden November was none other than Adori herself. Thus, while it would have been easy for him to simply dismiss Jahad's request in its entirety, doing so would make fulfilling his promise with the other Thirteen Month Series unnecessarily difficult. After all, he couldn't force Adori to give him the Golden November. Well, he could, but that wasn't really in his nature. He had always been more of a lover than a fighter, so, after observing the nervous beauty slowly unzip her bodysuit, revealing the vast, bountiful, and untouched white expanse hidden beneath, he slowly made his way forward to lend a hand...

章節 2033: Collection
While Adori was lying face down at his side, gasping and with a subtly rainbow-hued liquid pooling on the bedsheets between her thighs, Vahn was performing maintenance on the Golden November. Across from him, appearing identical to the woman slipping in and out of consciousness to his left, an inordinately beautiful woman with gilded hair and matching eyes carefully observed his actions with a red face and a slightly glazed expression.
As could be expected, this ethereal and completely naked woman was none other than Adori, or, more accurately, the Spirit from who Adoru, Adori's true name, obtained her identity and purpose.
The Golden November was intended to serve as the sword and shield of the Empire from the very beginning, so, unlike the rest of the Thirteen Month Series, it could not be allowed to slip into the hands of another Family. Instead, the Jahad Family, coordinating with Gustang and various rogue members of the workshop, began conducting a series of experiments using blood from the original Princesses of Jahad. In the simplest terms, Adori was the 'perfected form' of a Princess of Jahad, an artificial being designed to be flawless from birth.
Unfortunately, as was often the case when people attempted to create a 'perfect being', fate had a way of revealing just how foolish such sentiments were. The original Adori ended up getting killed during her very first battle due to her machine-like personality and inability to perceive things like fear and pain. The only thing that had mattered to her was the mission she had been assigned, so, as could be expected, she was completely played in the campaign to kill the current leader of FUG, Grace Mirchea Luslec.
Since it would be a problem if the 'ultimate weapon' of the Empire was defeated so easily, Gustang and his team recovered the remains of the original Adori's body for use in one of the most profane experiments Vahn could imagine. They used her as an experimental seedbed, infusing her eggs with Jahad's genetic material with the intent of producing an even 'more perfect' human. Most of these experiments ended in failure, but, after thousands of years and countless sacrifices, they were finally able to succeed in the production of the 'perfect human', Adoru.
Having learned from their previous mistakes, Adoru received a thorough education and ample care from every person she encountered in her young life. Everyone praised her and told her how special she was, and, once she had been thoroughly indoctrinated, she even spent a brief period of time as Jahad's official charge. This was the experience that had cemented the views she had carried for the last five-thousand-years. More importantly, it was the convictions she had formed over those three years that allowed her to survive the soul-shattering pain of having her spirit fused with the original.
In other words, the naked beauty seated across from Vahn was actually an amalgamation of two Spirits that had been irreversibly merged into a singular whole. She was a lot like Maemiru in that regard, but, unlike the perverted maid duo from Danmachi, Adori and Adoru were more mother-daughter than sisters...
...
..
.
Using an artifact-grade oil rag, Vahn continued to meticulously polish the crystalline surface of the Golden November with a carefree yet amused smile on his face. Each of his actions would garner an adorable response from the Spirit seated across from him. She would twitch and tremble, and, every time he ran his fingers along her blade's spine or polished the rings near her base, her teeth would clatter despite her efforts to appear calm and unflustered.
As this had already been going on for close to half an hour, Vahn was unsurprised when Adori, still lying on her stomach, turned her head toward him, silence lingering for several seconds before she finally asked, "Umm...does this...can you tell me what time it is...?"
Though she could have easily checked the time herself, Adori wasn't really sure what to say or do at a time like this. Prior to a few hours ago, her knowledge regarding the relations between men and women was purely theoretical. She didn't know if this implied a successful seduction or if Vahn had just succumbed to his carnal instincts. Thus, while she wanted nothing more than to ask whether or not he would be providing his support to the ailing Empire, she could barely muster the courage to ask him for the time...
Setting aside the Golden November, much to the Spirit's disappointment, Vahn looked towards the timid beauty before patting his thighs and saying, "Come. Take a seat."
Restraining the urge to swallow, Adori forced her tired body to a sitting position, her golden eyes briefly lingering on Vahn's naked lower body before quickly overcoming her inhibitions and taking a seat. In response, he unashamedly began fondling her impeccably soft breasts, forcing an adorably surprised yelp from her throat as he gently pinched her pale-pink nipples and explained, "I don't like to force people. I accepted this arrangement because I understood your father's, Jahad's, true intentions. You will abdicate from your position as Command-in-Chief, and, in exchange, I will install someone with even greater power to watch over the Empire until the rightful heir is ready to take the throne."
As this was her first time hearing about a 'rightful heir', Adori managed to overcome the pleasure assaulting her body long enough to cease biting her lip and ask, "Wh-"
Before she could finish uttering a single syllable, Vahn sealed the golden-haired beauty's lips with his own. At the same time, his left-hand moved down the line of her body, fingers tracing through fields of gold before invading the previously hallowed grounds hidden between her remarkably fair and surprisingly thick thighs. This caused a girlish yelp to emanate from Adori's throat, her thighs instinctually shutting around his hand before relaxing a few moments later.
After continuing in this manner for the better part of an hour, Vahn separated his lips from Adori's to find the golden-haired beauty staring up at him with a completely dazed expression on her face. She had even extended her tongue for a brief moment, but, realizing they were no longer kissing, a light of clarity immediately returned to her gaze. Before she could even think to ask him a question, however, Vahn adopted a moderately authoritative tone as he said, "The affairs of the Empire are no longer your concern. Now that you have chosen to follow this path, you are no longer Adori Jahad, Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Army. You are my woman...understood...?"
Though a part of this could be attributed to the time he spent with Ureko, Vahn knew that someone like Adori needed someone to tell her what to do. She was unable to willfully pursue selfish notions such as her own happiness, and, if given the option, she would unhesitantly dedicate the rest of her life to rebuilding the Empire and keeping peace within the Tower. Jahad had been aware of this, so, taking advantage of her self-sacrificing mentality, he sent her to Vahn under the pretense of a 'final mission'.
Under normal circumstances, Vahn wasn't particularly fond of being used in the machinations of other people. This time, however, he had decided to make an exception. Adori had spent the last five-thousand-years dedicating her everything to the Empire. She deserved to experience genuine happiness, and, while he didn't need to be the one to give it to her, he believed she would benefit greatly from interacting with the other members of his harem...
Having already formed the resolve to 'sacrifice' herself, the conflict in Adori's gaze only lasted for a brief moment before she ultimately nodded her head and said, "Understood...from this moment on, I am no longer Adori Jahad...I am your woman..."
Waiting for this exact moment, Vahn brought Adori, who had been on the verge of climaxing for a very long time, to completion. This caused a violent tremble to run through her body, and, though they were far from finished, he still wrapped his arms around her, his tone gentle yet resonating as he whispered, "Good girl..."
...
..
.
Though the sudden inclusion of Adori was quite a surprise to certain members of his harem, Vahn had already come to terms with the notion that he might end up adding several more members in the very near future. He knew people like Garam had taken an interest in him a long time ago, and, ever since he defeated Hon, Hagipherione had set her sights on him. She wanted him to teach her the 'true way' of the sword, and, as could be expected from someone whose entire life had revolved around mastering the blade, she was willing to do whatever it took to 'convince' him.
Having discussed the matter at length with the Council of Wives and the more influential members of his harem, Vahn was seriously considering inviting most, if not all, the former Princesses of Jahad into the Little Garden. He had no intention of making each and every one of them into members of his harem, but, understanding how difficult their lives would be should they remained in the Tower, he felt he owed them an opportunity after killing off their primary backer.
With this in mind, Vahn, along with Ureko, teleported to a rather scenic location on the 119th Floor. From the outside, it resembled a massive lake surrounded by verdant forests, but, peering into the depths, it was possible to make out a palatial structure formed from pure ice. This was the location of Garam's secret base, and, thanks to the Blue August, the surface of the lake was able to appear as a liquid despite being more than a hundred degrees below zero.
Ignoring this chill completely, Vahn and Ureko dove into the lake before swimming to the entrance located at the very front of the palatial structure. They could have teleported directly inside, but, as nigh-indestructible beings with free rein to go wherever they pleased, activities such as diving and free climbing were novel ways to pass the time.
Unfortunately for Garam, she had made the 'mistake' of placing a powerful barrier at the entrance so much of the palace ended up getting flooded once Ureko smashed it open and shouted, "Oi~! Frost-nips! Get your ass out here! We've come to collect you~!"
Hearing Ureko borrow the line he had used back on the 134th Floor, a wry smile developed across Vahn's face as Garam emerged from the palace's interior atop an icy blue Lighthouse, asking, "What the hell are you on about, you blonde psychopath...?"
Adopting a massive grin, Ureko placed her hand over her lower abdomen, affectionately caressing it as she said, "Vahn and I have already sealed the deal. Since you're basically my woman, you should come and have fun with us. Also, we'll be leaving the Tower pretty soon so this is basically your last chance to jump on the bandwagon. Either way, we need your Blue August and Indigo July. You can either hand them over or turn that ass around. Your choice."
Though she was used to Ureko's unabashed way of speaking, Garam was caught off guard by the words coming out of her former friend and pseudo-lover's mouth. She understood what Ureko was trying to say, sure, but, as this had basically come out of nowhere, all she could do was look toward Vahn and ask, "Are you okay with this...?"
Restraining a wry smile, Vahn nodded his head and said, "I'm currently gathering the-" before Ureko interrupted and said, "Oh, come on. Don't tell me you intend to spend the rest of your life holed up in this prison? There are countless worlds waiting to be explored beyond the Tower. Besides, even if you put on a cold front, I know you still love me~."
Glowering in response to Ureko's words, Garam was tempted to remind the annoying blonde that she was the one that kept harassing her. Instead, she inhaled a slow and steady breath through her nose before looking toward Vahn with an alluring smile and declaring, "Well now...It seems my 'ass' has suddenly become the property of the Sage Dragon Emperor. And here I thought you would be content with just my panties...you're pretty greedy..."
Punctuating her words, Garam hopped from her Lighthouse, instantaneously freezing the deluge of water flooding into her palace. Then, seemingly following Ureko's suggestion, she slowly turned her back, hands resting against the surface of her Lighthouse as she looked over her shoulder and said, "I don't dislike greedy men..."
