 Highschool of the Dead & My Hero Academia/僕のヒーローアカデミア Xover Rated: M, English, Family & Adventure, [OC, Rika M., Shizuka M., Saeko B.], Words: 820k+, Favs: 1k+, Follows: 1k+, Published: Nov 17, 2021 Updated: Nov 9 779Chapter 46: Dungeon Diving
I'm probably going to go back to daily uploads for now since I've got too many chapters backed up. I'll be uploading the chapters that have been Beta'd, which is almost all of the ones I've got, then go back to writing and 2 are a freebie since the last one was an interlude.
Also 666 followers. Nice.
Beta'd by NiteNight
After the whole thing with the Ganesha familia, the rest of us, minus Athena, Hestia and Aisha, decided to go to the guild. The goddesses went off to have a conversation of their own with Loki and her kids, and Aisha had to go back to her familia. Her doing that reminded me about going to either kill Ishtar later, or to atleast fuck her up real bad. (The Bell x Haruhime ship shall SAIL. That and she's a bitch.) Then I remembered that bit about the killing stone. (Hm... I could also kill Hermes because he gives her the damn thing... And he's responsible for a bunch of shit that Bell goes through... Thoughts for later.)
That aside, Saeko and Rika told us that we had to register what familia we were in before we were allowed in the dungeon, so that was what we were going to do. Though Saeko and Rika couldn't join us since they hadn't joined a familia yet. Though I did tell Saeko about Takemikazuchi.
Not only was she excited about getting the chance to spar with him, she was also cutely embarrassed when she heard he stayed at an orphanage. When Rika asked why, Saeko BLUSHED, and gave the most adorable reason someone like Saeko could give. "I'm going to eventually sire my lord children... So before I or any of us do so, I should get SOME experience with them." Shizuka squealed a happy squeal, and started crushing Saeko in a hug.
Literally. I was pretty sure we all heard SOMETHING crack. The fact that it went through her aura did not go over any of our heads. Even Bell was a little worried.
That aside, what were we doing? Well we were right to head on in, when I heard people running over to us. The girls and I turned to see who it was, and I blinked. It was the Loki gang, minus said goddess, Finn, Ais, Leyfia, Riveria and Gareth... So the amazon twins and Bete really. (Question that later.)
"OI! Who the hell ARE you!?' Bete was clearly still confused as fuck, and I got why.
I was about to respond to him, probably say some smart ass comment, but Shizuka beat me to the punch. "It's baby Silver!" I just took a breath in, ignored the snort from Rika and Saya, the hum from Saeko, and let it out. She loved that one, and I just didn't know why.
Bete and the twins all stopped, and just blinked. Then Tiona started losing it. "B-B-BABY! YOU'RE A BABY BETE!" She slapped him on the back, and we watched as Tiona and Tione, whose lips were twitching mad, enjoyed the way Bete's face warped into one of sheer annoyance.
Then seeing Bete growl at her added fuel to the fire. "Oh fuck off chopping board!" That made Tiona's laughter die down, and she just glared at him.
"You're dead." Seeing her about to punch the shit out of him was good, but when Tione stopped her, I sighed.
"We need Bete sis, no killing him."
"Just one good hit! That's all I need sis!" The two started going back and forth after that, and just zoned the rest of us out. I shared a look with the girls, and Bell, then looked back to the twins and Bete. Who just narrowed his eyes at them, shrugged, and walked over to us.
When we were face to face, he gave me a once over, lightly growled, then nodded. "I don't see it, but at least you won't make me look bad." I just raised a brow to that.
"Technically, I came first. So you're the one that has to make sure I don't look bad." His eye twitched, and I grinned.
"Orario was MY stomping grounds before you and the rest of your mates came in, so it's still me first. Besides, I don't buy it." Point. I could bring up my age later. But I was petty so I grinned at him.
"Well, I'll just need to make sure everyone knows who's the top dog here." He narrowed his eyes and growled at me again, but I just kept my grin. After a few tense, for Bell, seconds, Shizuka broke the tension by patting Bete's ears.
And ALL the tension evaporated. Even the twins stopped 'arguing' to see the scene of Shizuka playing with his ears. "Hm... Not as good as Silver's... Or the rest of ours... But still nice." Everyone just stared at Shizuka, then Rika just laughed. And that was the straw that broke Bete and the twins. Said twins started laughing, both of them this time, and Bete just looked ready to murder Shizuka.
(Though he'd be stabbed, shot, whipped, and pounded into the ground if he tried. Not even saying how fast I'd tear him apart.) True thoughts aside, he just slapped Shizuka's hand away, and was about to say something, but she did it again. And then he slapped her hand away again... Only for Shizuka to reach for his ears again.
"DAMMIT WOMAN! STOP!"
"NEVER!" Now it devolved into a slap fight where Shizuka would reach for his ears, only for him to slap her hand away. We all watched, Rika and the twins were laughing their asses off, Saeko and Saya were giggling messes, and Bell was just staring, confused as all hell. I was just watching the show though. "LET ME PET THEM!"
"FUCK OFF!"
"I should've brought a snack." Rika snorted mid laugh, and started choking. I helped her not die, and we just kept watching.
Then I heard some more footsteps coming from behind us, and turned to see. (Well hello Eina.) It wasn't just her either, there were two other guild attendants with her, and they were all about to say something... But then they saw the same scene we did, and they just paused.
"W-what is going on here?" Bell, Saya and I turned to Eina, and then Saya and I shared a look.
Saya understood the look. We held out our hands, and did the most appropriate thing in the moment. ""ROCK! PAPER! SCISSORS... SHOOT!"" She won.
"Tch. Stupid fucking absurd luck stat." Saya snorted, shooed me, and I sighed. Looking at the guild attendants, I started to shoo them back into the building, much to their protest, and went in. Bell followed me like a little puppy? Bunny? He was, and I nodded. "Alright, I'm explaining to only one of you. Inne minne I choose you." I picked Eina, because I could, and then started herding her towards one of the booths.
The other guild attendants shared a look, shrugged, then went back to do their job. Eina was too busy trying to not be pushed, and failing, to get them for that.
After a few more seconds, I managed to get her to a booth, and sat on the other side with Bell. Eina looked real annoyed at me, but I just kept a smile. Sure I was annoyed at losing earlier, but Saya's luck was at least 3x mine. It made sense. Seeing Eina's irritated expression made it better. "So, hellooo." As much as Yang's puns annoyed me, I felt even better at taking a page out of her book.
Eina's eye twitched, and she just looked at me. We both ignored the squirming Bell, and just stared at the other. "Hello." That response was worth it. "Now then. You promised an explanation. And I believe I am due one." I nodded.
Then I had an idea, but I had to save it for later. "The plan WAS to come register us being in familia's." I wrapped an arm around Bell's shoulders, ignoring his squeak of surprise. "Bell here, Shizuka and I have joined the Hestia familia. Shizuka's the one fucking with Bete by the way." Eina reluctantly nodded, and I went on. "And Saya, the pink haired cheater, is with Athena's familia." Eina nodded again, sighed, then got up.
"Stay here please. I'll need to get your forms... Also, I need your names and race."
I took my arm off of Bell, then tapped his head. He blinked at me, then got the message after I pointed at Eina. "Bell Cranel! Human. It's nice to meet you miss Eina!" Eina's eyes softened at him, either because he was young, or Bell's harem protagonist shit was working, and I nodded.
"Maccillian Silver Zaka." Eina pointed towards the door, probably to Shizuka and Saya. "Shizuka Marikawa and Saya Takagi. We're all pure Werewolves." She nodded, then started going to get the papers.
With Eina gone, it was just me in Bell in the booth. The kid still looked a little nervous though, and I didn't really know why. "Mr. Maccillian?" Hm? I looked at him, brow raised, and watched him squirm for a bit. After a few seconds of internal debate, he got the guts to ask his question. "Can you teach me how to fight?" I blinked once, then twice.
"Sure." Bell just looked at me, and I had no idea why he looked so surprised.
"Really? That's it? It's that easy?" I snorted.
"Getting the answer, yes. The training? Oh that's gonna be hell for you." He just stared at me, and I swore it looked like he was suddenly remembering something horrible.
"I... I won't be losing limbs... Will I?" Ah.
"Nah. Though with Shizuka around to keep you from dying, I'm free to run you into the ground. Maybe literally at some points." Bell visibly wilted as I spoke, and it was hilarious. "Oh you'll be fine. The worst you'll get are broken bones. Shizuka's semblance should patch you right up." Bell pretty much shrunk into himself at that. Did I care that I was doing this to a teenager? No. Was it funny? Oh definitely.
But eventually, Bell stopped squirming. He just closed his eyes, started taking deep breaths in and out, then opened them to look at me. "Can I... Can I be a hero if you train me?" Ah. I couldn't help but grin at that.
"The best hero." Bell's eyes shined with conviction, and he nodded. "Good. I'll try to work you up to broken bones then." The shaky smile Bell gave me was great.
I wanted to say more, but Eina came back. She had some papers, a quill, and set them on the table. "Ah, can either of you read or write?" Bell and I nodded, and I let him go first.
After Bell finished, I signed my name and familia on the form, then stuck my head out the booth. "Caenn beag! Mo grá! Come over real quick!" The door opened, and Saya walked in first. I waved the form she had to sign, and she rolled her eyes as she saw me do it. Then in came Shizuka, and I blinked as she did. Shizuka was dragging, yes dragging, Bete inside, and had this happy and victorious smile on her face.
Bete wasn't knocked out, mind you, he was just grumbling as Shizuka dragged him towards us. I looked at Saya, the question clear in my eyes, and she shrugged. "She transformed when Bete hit her a little too hard. After doing that fucking scary smile we do with our fangs, he gave up."
The subject of our conversation thrashed at that. "Oh fuck off! Did you SEE that smile?! That's like looking at DEATH ITSELF! H...-"
Bete locked up when Shizuka started humming. And then when she turned to him, 'smiling' as she did? He went absolutely still. "Hm? What's like death itself baby Silver?" Bete became a statue. Like one wrong movement would lead to him being eaten.
(Actually... Considering we're WereWOLVES, this makes far too much sense. Oh well.)
"N-Nothing. Nothing at all. Forget I said anything." Shizuka nodded, then went back to smiling and dragging him along. "I should've stayed with Loki." Saya and I snorted at that, and Shizuka ignored him.
The girls came over, signed their races, names and familia, and Eina collected the sheets. "Wonderful... Would you prefer me to assign you an advisor? Or would you all prefer I handled it?" I mentally grinned. Time to fuck with em.
"I'm fine with it. Shizuka and Saya are too." I looked over to them, and got nods. "So that just leaves Bell." I looked at him, saw him taking a few 'subtle' glances at Eina, and he nodded to me. "See, he's fine. Though I doubt he'd mind you giving him some pointers and tips. Kid's new to this and all that." Eina looked at Bell, and gave a professional nod. It didn't look like she had her crush on him yet, but that was fine. I was curious if she would even still get one or not, so this would test it and let me fuck with Bell at the same time.
(Though what do I do if Eina actually falls for Bell again? It IS weird for a 14 year old and a 20 year old to be a thing... Roll for initiative? Nah. I guess I'll let it play out.) My role in Bell's love life, aside from setting up the Bell x Haruhime ship, there were other things to do. I got up, and left Bell with Eina. He'd figure it out. "Alright girls and Bete."
"Oi!" Ignored.
"Let's go get some cash. I owe a loser 100k Valis, and I'm not letting THAT hang over my head." Saya gave me a raised brow, and then gestured to my earring.
"Do I count that as a pun?" I froze as I stepped over to the door, and just thought about it.
"Saya."
"Yes Zaka?"
"Remind me to yeet Yang through a wall the next time I see her."
"Got it." That done, the girls and I, including Bete, walked out of the guild.
And the first thing I saw was Tione and Saeko punching each other. "5... 10 minutes at the very most... What the actual fuck?" They both looked at me, kept attacking each other though. Saeko gave me a grin, though went back to Tione when she got headbutt by said Amazon.
Rika and Tiona were by the door, watching it go down, and Rika shrugged when I looked at her. "Crazy likes Amazons. What else am I supposed to say." I opened my mouth, then shut it.
"Fuck it. I'll deal with that later." Rika shrugged again, and went back to watching. Though she blinked a second later, and turned back.
"By the way, I'm going with my new cousins to Loki's familia. They seem like fun."
"HAH!? Nononono! I'm not dealing with another TIONA! I've already got enough with her, no way in he...-" We all turned to Bete who was standing and mid rant, froze when Shizuka hummed. He went statue still again, and slowly turned his head to Shizuka. Seeing her 'smile' at him, he changed his tune real quick. "I mean, we'd be fucking happy to have you!" Tiona laughed at him, and I could tell he REALLY wanted to blow up at her. The only thing stopping him was Shizuka.
Who had suddenly let him go in favor of going over to me.
Bete practically flash stepped away from her the moment she did, and that made Tiona laugh even harder. With Shizuka by my side, Saya joined us, and we got ready. Rika and Saeko noticed this, and Rika waved us off. Saeko and Tione even took a break from smashing the others face in to do the same.
With that done, Saya, Shizuka and I went off to the dungeon.
There were a bunch of people heading towards it, and more than a few people wolf whistling at my girls. Those guys ended up with an aura wolf in their face, clearly pissed. That got 'em to mind their own business.
Other than that, we made it to the dungeon without anything going wrong. Which I took as an accomplishment.
Walking into the 1st floor was interesting. There were a fuckton of people around, fighting goblins, the rare kobold, and just fighting... And they SUCKED. (To be fair, they are literally new at this if they're staying on the 1st floor.) I knew that I was right, but they still sucked. Anyway, back to the now.
"Tch. Stupid kobolds." Oh yeah.
I turned to Saya, and I just had to ask. "Ok. What's your thing for the kobolds?" Saya just growled, and pointed at them.
"Look at them! They're like feral half finished versions of us! It's a disgrace! I know I call you mutt and all, but those things are genuine mutts!" Shizuka and I looked at the kobolds, and I hummed.
"I mean... Yeah. I can see your point."
"RIGHT!"
"Mhm... Not pretty at all."
"Even Shizuka agrees!" I looked at them, and shrugged.
"Whatever. You're free to go on a kobold genocide." Saya nodded at that, and brought out her whip. "Though maybe we should move to lower floors. There are too many people here." Saya looked around, and grunted. She knew I was right.
We started walking towards the lower floors, when Saya suddenly stopped, then looked at me. "Zaka, can you max out your hearing and sense of smell for a bit." I blinked. I could, but I had no real reason to.
"Why?" Saya handed her whip to Shizuka, who happily took it, and started rummaging through her Qipao... And brought out a book? "Where the fuck were you keeping that?" She just smirked at me, then opened it up.
After turning a few pages, she found what she was looking for. "Here. Find us one of these." I looked at whatever it was, and paused.
"A Jack Bird? The fu...- Say no more." I amped my senses, and focused. The moment I saw the thing had a drop worth 1M Valis, I didn't care that there were too many people around. I was going to shift through every fucking thing on this floor if I had too. No rooster would be safe from me! "FOUND IT!" I went into Werewolf Form and ran.
I heard Saya and Shizuka cheer in the background, but I focused in on the bird. Who gave a shit about a 100k debt if you were suddenly a millionaire? I ran passed parties of people, even monsters where I just ran THROUGH if they got in my way, and eventually got to it. The thing didn't even have the chance to react before I grabbed it by the throat. "Hellooo.~" The Jack Bird tried to peck my hand, but I just snapped its neck, and watched it disappear into ash. I saw the magic stone and egg appear, and caught them both before they hit the floor. "Oh yeah, easy money is the best... Wait... Fuck, I forgot to eat it... Eh, whatever."
I could've ate it for Fenrir, but at the same time, what was it going to give me? (The ability to shit out golden eggs? Fuck no. I can already sense people if I raise my senses just above base humans. I AM SPEED, if I use my abilities. There's nothing I could get... I'll try to find another one sometime later.) Had to be sure and all that. But back to the present. I grabbed the stone and egg, and rushed back to Saya and Shizuka.
It took a minute, the bird was actually really far away now that I was running back and actually paying attention to where I was. That aside, when I got back to them, they noticed the golden egg I was holding, and Saya kissed me for it. "Perfect. Now we have funds for whatever we need." I raised a brow at that.
"You do realize we'll need to split them, right?" Saya blinked, and started humming.
"Let's go down a few more floors, then start gathering stones. I'll get my own funds first, then ask for some afterwards. It WAS my idea after all." Point. And it was easy to agree too.
"Alright... What do I do with the egg though?" We all looked at the egg, then Shizuka just grabbed it. We looked at her, and she just seemed content to keep it with her.
She didn't even need to say anything, we saw her face, that was enough. Though before anything else happened, I coated the thing in aura so it didn't end up broken. It was my ticket to 1M valis after all, I was NOT going to let that egg crack. With that settled, we started going down the floors, until we stopped on the 4th floor. It had kobolds, goblins and dungeon lizards. Enough variety for both Saya and I to use. "Alright Zaka, I'm going to go kill the kobolds, then rotate to the goblins and save the lizards for last. What're you doing?"
I hummed, and looked around the floor. "I'll try the lizards first. I'd rather the first thing I use Fenrir on wasn't a goblin or kobold." Saya nodded, then cracked her whip against the ground... Which then made the dungeon start spawning more monsters... Saya and I shared a look, hers was of minor embarrassment, and mine was a raised brow. "Your fault, go get 'em ceann beag." She scoffed at me, but went over to them anyway.
With Saya going into the fray, I started heading over to the lizards. There were a few of them bunched together, trying to be intimidating and all that, but they weren't really worth mentioning. When I got to them, after kicking a few of them into the wall, breaking their skulls, I singled out the one I wanted to eat. The thing charged at me, not scared in the slightest, and I hummed as I caught it. "Now where do I start?" The lizard squirmed in my grip, tried to hit me with its tail and tongue, but I let my aura stay on so I didn't feel any of it. "Guess I'll start with the tail then." I raised the lizard higher, and put my free hand on its tail.
Then TUGGED. The little thing screeched in pain, but I ignored it and brought the base of its tail to my mouth. Taking a bit of it, scales and all, was interesting. "Crunchy... Kinda like chips actually." That was the scales. "Chewy, nice." That was the flesh. "This is kinda good actually. Maybe not in my top 10's, but still nice." After swallowing it, I took another bite when Fenrir didn't activate.
Though, after I ate the whole tail, it did. And the choices were interesting to say the least.
[Status]
Fenrir activation conditions met.
Choose - [Excelia +10 to all stats] - [Thermal vision] - [Minor heat resistance]
I chose the stats, because I didn't need either of the other choices. And even if I wanted heat resistance, I was pretty sure I could get better from those Salamander things they make clothes from. That done, I didn't feel much different, but I'd decide to check it later.
I heard something CRASH into a wall, and turned to see Shizuka had kicked a kobold hard enough to almost break the wall... "Uh huh." The kobold turned to ash, and Shizuka just waved at me when she noticed I was looking. I waved back, then went back to killing things. The lizards already gave me what I needed, so I moved onto the kobolds.
Saya had a point, these things kinda did look like someone saw a Werewolf and went 'now be feral.' It was kinda annoying now that I really looked at it. So I decided to let my annoyance be known when I grabbed a kobold by the arm, ripped it off, and took a bite. The kobold screamed in anger and pain, and I just smacked it with its own arm. It died, and I went onto finishing the food. Not fun fact, kobold tasted like burnt egg, and I was really tempted to spit it out. But the things I do for me semblance.
[Status]
Fenrir activation conditions met.
Choose - [Excelia +10 to all stats] - [Sharp claws]
"Just two?" I chose the stats again, but I was annoyed that the fuckers tasted as bad as they did, and had the fucking gall to only give me one REAL option. "The fuck do I need sharper claws for? Mine are already sharp as it is!" I punted another kobold to vent my annoyance at them, and felt a little better. With that done, I moved onto the final option I had here.
The goblins. Ugh. "Caenn beag, toss me a goblin real quick!" Saya grunted, made another aura whip, and curled it around a goblin's leg. The thing only had a moment to scream before it was sent flying towards me. I grabbed it by the head, and grinned. "Thanks!" She grunted again, then cracked her whip against another kobold."Now you... I really don't want to eat you, but I kinda have too." Then I bit into its arm.
The goblin shrieked, tried to fight back, but after I had enough, I just killed it like I did the rest of my food. "What do I get this time?"
[Status]
Fenrir activation conditions met.
Choose - [Excelia +5 to all stats] - [Iron stomach - Capable of eating any organic substance without consequence.] - [Enhanced fertility]
I just stared at the last one, and shook my head after a minute. "Yeah, no." I picked the second option, since I was probably going to be eating a lot of shit for my semblance. No way in hell was I going to eat something that would somehow give me a stomachache. Granted, I could rip out my stomach and let another one grow in its place, but that was work.
I was also sure Rika would shoot me on principle alone if I did, so that was also a good reason not too.
After that, I just looked around, and watched Saya finish off her side. She wasn't fighting to kill, mostly to just experiment. If she wanted too, all she'd need to do was make an aura slash, and everything in the corridor would've died. Then she could've moved onto the rooms. Though she didn't, and just did her tests, whatever they were. I didn't really feel like fighting the goblins and other fuckers here, they were too weak to be fun or challenging.
Thankfully, Saya was fine with moving on. "Athena said I should be able to make it to the Goliath. From what I read, that's the boss before the 18th floor. I'm not interested in going there right away, but there IS something I want to go look at." Hm?
"What is it?" Saya brought out the book again, I saw she made an aura holster for it under her Qipao, and started flipping through it. When she found the page, she showed me it. "Oh. The not poison Dustox." She rolled her eyes at me, and put the book back.
"They're supposed to be rare, but we should be able to hunt them down. Their scales are used for potions, and I want to try my hand at alchemy. We might not need it now, but we might need it eventually." Made sense.
"Oh yeah, remind me to go introduce you to Miach tomorrow or something like that." She nodded, and we started heading down to the lower floors. Though for me, this was going to be a boring trip. (Something interesting better happen... Hah... This is gonna suck for a while.)
{Rika's POV}
"This is fucking awesome." The twins, my new cousins, led me and Saeko to their place, and it was cool as shit.
"Right! We totally got the best place in Orario." Tiona, the fun one in my opinion, agreed with me. I liked her. "Just ignore whatever Freya familia says." The number 1 in Orario, eh.
"Hm... It IS pretty impressive." Saeko agreed, though Tione, the Amazon version of Saeko, snorted. "Hm? You have something to say?"
Tione just rolled her eyes at Saeko, and started walking ahead. "Our home is MORE than just impressive. It has to be in order to serve as our base." She had some guys open the front gate, and her sister ran up to her, twirled, then stopped to face us with her arms spread out.
"Welcome to the Loki familia Rika!" Tione bopped her on the head at that.
"She hasn't joined YET sis. We need to wait for Lady Loki to come back and give her the falna." Tiona grumbled, then kicked a rock away.
"She's pretty much one of us already though. I mean, she's got the spunk and everything." I snorted at that, and Saeko hummed.
"I'm feeling a little left out here, how sad." This time, me and the sisters snorted together at that.
"Sure you are bitch. You're not reallyyyy joining us." Saeko just grinned at Tione.
"My my, am I hearing the words of a loser? Or did my hearing suddenly act up? Did you hear it as well Rika?" Tiona started snickering as her sister's eye twitched.
After we were introduced, Saeko and Tione somehow realized they were almost the same. That made Saeko really interested in pushing Tione's buttons. Tiona and I just let her do it, and watched the show. It was pure gold really. Even when they started fighting the other, because Saeko never backed down from a challenge, it just made for a good show.
"Keep it up bitch, I'll tear your ea...-"
"Oh hey Finn!" Tiona turned and started waving to the door, where no one was standing, and something hilarious happened.
Tione changed her tune so fast I almost got whiplash. "I mean WELCOME!" She turned to the door, just like her sister, but froze when she realized no one was there. "SIS!" Tiona started laughing again, and I joined her. I didn't know who the hell Finn was, but seeing her change from cursing at Saeko, to cute and cuddly was hilarious. Even Saeko was enjoying it.
And that annoyed Tione to no end. "That's it! You and me bitch! That last one was a fluke!" And so she grabbed Saeko by the arm, and started stomping away. Tiona and I just kept laughing at that, and followed them. Oh this was going to be great.
[Omake - On top of the world. Hestia's POV]
With our kids gone, mine and Athena's, Loki's were guarding the door, the three of us got the chance to talk. And as soon as we were on our own, I sat with Athena, and reached over to put my hand on Loki's shoulder. "Before you say ANYTHING... I understand your pain Loki." I really did. After spending a few hours with Shizuka, it made me feel WAY less as a woman.
The whole thing with me doing that threw Loki off, and she just looked so confused. "Huh? Wut pain?" I blinked.
"Did you not see Shizuka?" She looked even more confused.
"Who?" Athena and I shared a look, and then we BOTH gave Loki a weird look.
"You know. My blonde child." Loki opened her eyes and blinked at us.
"You got another one? Wen da fuq did that happen?" I decided to just let her see Shizuka for herself later.
"Same time as Maccillian and Bell." she nodded, then pointed at me.
"I'll get to that later. But FIRST! HIM! WHO DA FUQ!? HOW?!" Athena and I snorted at that. Though it was a good question. I laid back into my seat, and just started to think.
I didn't really have a good answer to this. Maccillian and Shizuka had just poofed into my life, and despite how sudden it was, I didn't mind it. Shizuka might've been evil with all of her tickling, and Maccillian with his teasing, but they practically crashed into my heart. "I don't know. They just found me when I met Bell, and said they chose me. They said that it was all that mattered. Though he said he was a king, so that's a thing." Maccillian seemed proud when he brought that up, and he didn't say it was meant to be a secret, so there was nothing really stopping me from telling Loki. We might've gotten along like cats and dogs, but we were still friends.
Though I didn't expect Athena to go 'huh' at the news. (I guess the Saya girl didn't tell her.) And speaking of Saya. I looked down at myself, and just thought. (Another one who's bigger than me... Whyyy..?) I was proud of my body, but when two women suddenly appear and they have better physique's than literal goddesses, it makes you feel bad.
"It seems I have more things to talk with Saya about when she returns." Athena brought me back to the now, and I nodded.
"I probably COULD ask Maccillian more about himself, and I probably will. I have to know my children after all." I knew I said that way too proudly, but who would say anything about it? My child fought against a Level 4, and came out of it without a scratch. (Well technically, he got way worse than scratches. But he healed from them like they were nothing... Thankfully I didn't hurl... That would've been embarrassing.) Seeing him heal broken bones, and a torn off arm was disgusting, but him pretty much fighting a Level 4 to a standstill made me feel beyond proud.
"Uh huh. Anyway... He's fuqin HOW OLD again?" Oh yeah.
"2,821. We all heard Saya, and we know she wasn't lying. But that in itself brings up a question." Loki and I looked at Athena. She had her legs crossed, and was tapping on the table. I knew this was her 'thinking VERY hard' posture, so I just kept quiet. "Just WHERE did they come from? If there was a Werewolf who lived for that long, we SHOULD'VE known about him. I should've known about him. But I didn't. That should not have been possible." Athena looked to Loki, who was nodding along, and she hummed. "Loki. You felt that disturbance yesterday, correct?" Oh!
"I felt that too!" I did. Didn't think much of it though.
Athena and Loki looked at me, Athena nodded but Loki just opened her eyes to roll them at me. Then she looked at Athena, and I could tell she was serious. "Yeah. Think that was him?" Athena hummed, and started tapping the desk again.
After a minute of her doing that, she nodded. "It would make the most sense. Not only do I have no records of a Werewolf king named 'Maccillian Silver Zaka,' there are more things that would support this hypothesis. First would be his abilities. His healing factor is something Bete does not have. If he did, he'd probably be far stronger than he is now." Loki huffed at that, but I just grinned. My child was better than hers after all. "Then there is that light he and his women share."
"That Silver one? They have it too?!" I knew what she was talking about, but Loki didn't. "The hell is that anyway?" Athena and I looked at each other, and I shrugged. I didn't get the time to ask, and I was either too busy being tickled, teased, or playing with the orphans Take took care of to ask.
Athena sighed, but looked back to Loki. "I asked Saya about that, and from what she told me before we left for the Hostess, it is something called aura. She said theirs was a combination of three forms of aura. One from somewhere called Remnant, and another from Maccillian himself. The third kind seemed to be something they had at the beginning." Huh...
"What's Remnant?" Athena looked at me, and sighed. She took off her glasses and just started rubbing her eyes.
"I don't know. I intended to ask Saya about it, but we were interrupted. But if my hypothesis is correct, which I believe it is, then it may be another realm." Loki and I went wide eyed at that.
"You're serious?" It spoke something that when Loki looked and sounded serious, that this was big news. And it was. We knew about realm walkers, but we'd never met any. I don't think ANY of the gods or goddesses had met any.
And now I had two of them as my children?
I didn't even pay attention to what else Athena and Loki said. The fact that there were realm walkers in Orario, and two of them chose ME as their goddess, made me feel all kinds of things.
But the strongest thing I felt was happiness. I remembered what Shizuka told me earlier, that she wanted to give me the world.
And even if it'd only been a few hours since I met them, it felt like they already had.
The restricted stats will only change after updating.
Also, not every world is going to know about the whole realm walker/world traveler thing. It made sense for Remnant because Salem and Ozpin had lived in the time of the Brother Gods. It also makes sense here because these are literal gods and goddesses. It'd be stupid if they didn't know. ESPECIALLY Athena.
