章節 88: Chapter 1: New home

"How to say this..."

Lucias held his chin while observing their temporary house in Kuoh that they will live at until they graduate.

"It kind of looks like the mansion that we lived in before, Lucias"

Asia commented with a bright smile from nostalgia, seeing the same mansion that they all once lived before when it was just still her, Lily, and Lucias, but with a few added modification in its exterior designs.

"I'm surprised that they managed to get a large land for us in this crowded city"

Lucias muttered before signalling all of the girls around him to follow him inside.

"Sephie has already brought our luggage inside the mansion so you girls can go and pick your rooms inside"

Lucias said as the girls nodded in response before Lucias opened the mansion door.

"You have arrived, Lucias-sama"

A beautiful silver haired woman greeted them wearing a simple maid outfit along with 10 vampire ninjas, standing in front of the entrance like they were all waiting for them to arrive.

"... Freya, what are you doing here?"

Lucias asked in a tired voice, remembering the days where he constantly pushed her away from her clinginess and obsession towards him.

"As your servant, I must follow you wherever you go, Lucias-sama"

She answered with a straight face while the other maids frowned at her words since she was never assigned to serve in the mansion by Sephie.

"... Just don't cause any trouble, Freya"

"I'll keep your words in mind Lucias-sama"

Freya brightly slimed at them, a beautiful smile enough to seduce any man with a single glance, but due to Lucias' daily life with his harem, he was long used to seeing such beautiful women like her.

"Master you're finally here"

"Artoria? What are you doing here?"

Lucias asked the androgynous woman wearing a casual white dress, walking down the stairs of the mansion.

"As your servant, I must protect you at all time"

She answered with a resolute tone while looking at him with an 'isn't it obvious' expression on her face.

"... Who else are in here?"

Lucias asked causing a 22 year old nekomata to pounce on him from behind.

"Lucias nya!"

Kuroka energetically called out while hugging him tightly from behind as 3 twins ran towards them in all fours, slamming their head at his body to greet him.

"Owner!"

All 3 shouted in unison while sniffing his scent with a joyful smile on their faces.

"Ara Ara everyone's so energetic early in the morning"

Kurumi came out of her shadow together with Melan and Ikaros inside the mansion.

"Tis place is quite nice isn't it?"

Mira, along with both Shuri and Iris called out from behind them with a casual smile on their faces.

"... Are all the spirits living inside here?"

Lucias asked in a tired voice from the sudden increase in their numbers.

"Yes"

Tobiichi nodded her head in irritation as she couldn't refuse their request in joining them to live together with Lucias.

"The only ones who weren't able to come is the Original Demons and Azazel since they'll be acting as your replacement while you're still in school"

Iris explained while taking off the large summer hat on her head, revealing a refreshing smile that is unlike her age.

"So this is the city where Akeno lives at fufufu"

"Only the original demons? Doesn't that mean that..."

"Yes, Yuu, Tiamat, Yami, Elmenhilde, and Mikan will be staying here with you, they'll all be assigned in different classes to keep watch if anything happens while your attending school"

"Rito agreed to this?"

"Yes, he was really eager to give you both some time to together"

Iris answered before entering the mansion together with the 2 girls behind her.

"Don't worry about it lad, I'll stay in your room so they wouldn't try anything funny"

Mira laughed while patting his shoulder before following Iris inside the mansion.

"The other spirits will arrive later since they still have to fix a few things inside the faction before they leave"

She yawned as all of the climbed up the stair to go to their respective rooms, chatting with one another while ignoring Lucias who was standing in the entrance of the mansion.

"If any of those devils enter this mansion... It's going to cause a few problems for us"

Lucias muttered remembering the unstable relationships of Iris, Kuroka, and Shuri with the members of Rias' Peerage.

"I hope none of those scenarios happen in the future... It's a good thing that the holder of Ddraig isn't one of her members or else... We might have some problems with Tiamat"

Lucias said before climbing the stair to check his room together with Mira.

Timeskip

"Quite a peaceful place, isn't it Lucias?"

Mira praised with a smile on her face while taking out the clothes from her luggage.

"I have a very weird habit of tightly hugging anything while I sleep so I hope you don't mind, Lucias"

Mira muttered with a slight grin while looking towards Lucias who was preparing their uniforms for tomorrow.

"I don't mind..."

'I'm already used to it thanks to Rimuru... like hell I can say that'

Lucias thought as a loud voiced echoed throughout the mansion before his door was kicked opened by a red haired maiden together with a teenage black haired girl standing behind her with an annoyed expression on her face.

"LUCIAS! You don't mind me staying in your room right?"

"Shut up, baka-red"

Ophis said in an irritated voice before pushing her aside and jumping straight to Lucias, hugging his body tightly while pressing her large breast on his chest.

"Ophis... don't tell me..."

"No, we can't enter your school since we'll be causing a large commotion in were found out by those devils"

Ophis spoke fluently unlike 7 years ago due to having 'private' lessons together with Lucias every night to teach her how to speak without any pauses.

"Is that so... that's a shame then"

Lucias kissed her forehead while patting her head causing Ophis to look up at him with upturned eyes.

"..."

"... Fine"

Lucias helplessly sighed before pulling her body closer to him, giving her a deep kiss on her lips as she wrapped her arm around his back, thoroughly enjoying his kiss while ignoring the two girls inside the room.

"You lovebirds makes me envious of your bold display of affection"

Mira commented with flushed cheeks while Great Red looked at Lucias with pleading eyes.

"Me too..."

Great Red said as she walked closer to Lucias, who separated his lips from Ophis, looking at the once male dragon beside him in a wry smile.

"Are you sure your set in staying as a female?"

Lucias asked causing Great Red to nod her head with eagerness written in her eyes.

"Yes yes, I already discarded that form of mine, there is no going back now"

"Hmm... You'll be carrying a child in the future, so are you sure about your decision?"

Lucias asked again while looking at her with gentle eyes.

"Yes I'm sure"

Great Red answered immediately without hesitation.

"I hope you don't regret this, Red"

"I won't"

Great Red says in a quiet voice before moving her head closer to Lucias give him a kiss on his lips while Ophis buried her flushed face at his chest.

-with 'creator'-

"Hmm..." (Creator)

She hummed while watching the projection in front of her with a neutral expression on her face before hearing a high pitched voice coming from behind her.

"I want to see Papa!"

A cute 6 years old girl with long golden hair and eyes just like her father, and pale translucent skin that she got from her mother ran towards her in small steps with a wide smile on her face.

"You're father will visit us by tonight so stay patient, Hanna"

The 'creator' says in a gentle voice before carrying her daughter in her embrace with a joyful smile on her face.

"Mn"

Hanna cutely nodded her head while her sister Death came inside the Realm of Creation, carrying various toys and dresses that she and the other primordial beings gathered in the mortal realm.

"I have something for you, Hanna"

"Onee-chan!"

The 'creator' placed her daughter down on the transparent ground causing her to ran at her sister with a wide smile on her face.

"Aren't you spoiling her too much?"

The 'creator' muttered while looking at her daughter's doting older siblings.

"We're not spoiling her THAT much"

Death retorted while giving all of the toys to her little sister who was happily searching through the large pile of toys and clothes in front of her.

"... I heard that you killed a True God in the C713 dimension for making her cry, and destroying that dimension together with Order and Chaos"

The 'creator' frowned while looking at her helpless children, only Lucias was properly teaching her child morals and manners when he comes to visit her dimension but his doting doesn't lose to any of her children.

"She's our youngest sister, isn't it fine to spoil her a bit?"

Death says without looking at her mother's direction as she sat down on the transparent floor to match her little sister's eyes.

"Nee Hanna, who do you like the most?"

Death asked while poking her soft cheeks with her finger.

"I love Papa the most!"

She happily answered causing both the 'creator' and Death to freeze at their spot.

"R-Really?"

"Mn!"

Hanna answered while waving the doll in her hand up in the air.

"... I really can't understand how Lucias Frey was able to cause our daughter to cling to him that much..."

-with Lucias-

"Where are you going?"

Asia asked while looking at Lucias who was walking towards the large door of the mansion.

"I'm just going to visit an old friend of mine, I'll be out for a while, so don't wait for me and just sleep early alright?"

Lucias said as he gave her a peck on her lips before creating a small golden colored magic circle below her. A magic circle that he personally modified decorated with a large dragon mark in the middle with a golden crown decorating the side of the magic circle.

"Don't stay out too late, alright?"

Asia says in a soft voice while holding her bathrobe covering her slender body.

"I will"

Lucias said before teleporting to the underworld in front of a large mansion that he once visited before due to several reasons pertaining a certain heir of a clan.

"What should I bring back as a gift for Hanna and Kunuo?"

Lucias muttered remembering her cute daughter with the 'creator', causing a sloppy smile to form on his face while remembering her daughter's clinginess.

"It feels kind of weird to have 2 daughter while I'm still 18"

Lucias muttered before entering the large castle without reservation.

The castle's outside layout is comprised of the main building with a tall building in the background, surrounded by multiple towers with flames protruding around and at the top. The front tower has embedded, the phoenix emblem. There are also leafless trees that have tiny flames protruding from the tips. At the entrance is a huge golden statue of a phoenix in the middle of a fountain of fire and at the sides, there are poles with small flames coming out on top, and also archway structures similar to an aqueduct that also have flames sprouting at the top.

"I always wonder how they are able to live in this kind of temperature"

He said before kick the large gates opened, alerting both the servants and the lord of the mansion.

"Who dares trespass my territory!?"

Lord Phenex shouted in anger as he ran outside with his wife, but froze when he saw a familiar golden haired teenager standing tall in front of their mansion with a large grin on his face.

"It's been a while since we met, Phenex"
