Heaven
The Fifth Heaven/Skies
Michael pov
"Are you going to keep being so grumpy, Uriel?"
I called out to my brother, who was standing there with a sullen expression.
".....I'm not grumpy."
I sighed with a smile.
Uriel was happy for Daniele and Gabriel, I knew that, however...
"I think it upset you that your sister ran away with another man."
Uriel's grumbling intensified at the sound of the our little sister
"Not at all, Sariel!"
Uriel turned and quickly complained to Sariel.
With her green eyes, wavy curly platinum yellow hair, and slender figure, she was a petite, very beautiful angel , wears a black, frilly and lacy dresses, that are seen as slightly revealing due to the chest being slightly open
Among us, besides Gabriel, she is the only female Seraph.
Sariel, also known as [Angel of Death] (some call her Azrael), possessed an immense purifying power similar to that of the Hauteclere's.
Now that I think about it, I should also ask her to help my little Ace.
"Okay, okay, let's calm down, alright? ♪ Michael didn't call us here for this reason."
Jophiel spoke with joy at that moment.
Well, he was always cheerful.
Jophiel had blond hair with bangs cut very close to his hairline, green eyes, and a rather muscular build.
This was ironic because those who heard his name generally imagined him with a slender androgynous appearance, although he could have appeared that way to others if he wanted to.
His Holy Power was generally specialized in creating illusions and mirages.
He was also incredibly powerful; he was a ten-winged angel.
"Jophiel is right~ after all, Uriel likes Dany too, right?"
When Raguel said this, a vein appeared on Uriel's forehead.
"Not at all, if that kid upsets Gabriel, I'll teach him a lesson."
I spoke at that moment.
"So, as long as he doesn't upset Gabriel, you completely approve of him."
Uriel opened and closed his mouth at my words, then, with a flushed face, he crossed his arms, averted his gaze, and grumbled.
*Chuckle* Uriel, in Human's words, was a complete tsundere.
Magnus was trying to suppress his laughter in the corner.
"Anyway, Magnus, please show us"
Magnus nodded in agreement to my words
When I pressed the button, a virtual world suddenly appeared.
There are glowing red dots there.
"Michael, is that it?"
I began to explain as Uriel raised one eyebrow.
"[Eden Company] and [Angel.net] users, more specifically.....Khaos Brigade suspected hiding places."
"Aha♪ I understand, although it doesn't seem very ethical."
Raguel chuckled and said, yes, it wasn't very ethical.
My father probably wouldn't have done that... However, with so many dangerous enemies around right now, I wouldn't take that risk. I'm not him.
That was Daniele's initial idea, and Magnus and I made some changes.
People will use [Eden Company] things to hand over its locations as it comes into use.
I would have called Daniele too... but I don't want to spoil his time with Gabriel, after all, they deserve it, they've both waited long enough.
Moreover...
"It's also a chance for the new units to try out."
The new units are mainly composed of both those who did not previously possess Sacred Gear but now do, and those who were previously Devils.
In the Underworld Rebellion, the primary goal was takeover, but it was also an opportunity not to be missed.
While conducting detailed investigations into the captured Devils, we quickly identified those who were truly innocent and those who had been forcibly reincarnated or manipulated, and we offered them a few options.
-----Take off your Sacred Gear and return to your normal life with adequate compensation as a human being.
-----Join the forces of the Church.
------You can live in the normal human world, but first you need to pass extra assessments.
Those who decided to surrender their Sacred Gear were given jobs at [Eden Company], a company that pays significantly more than the normal company and will COMPLETELY conceal them. Ultimately, the company was expanding rapidly and needed new employees.
Those who chose to join the Church's side had it simpler; their Evil Pieces were removed, and they underwent extensive training.
Although the numbers weren't very large, it was definitely a good win
So, like Daniele said... meh
I won't be like my father, and I never will be... not anymore, it's time to be myself....
"Okay, let's go slowly."
A wicked, cold smile crossed Sariel's face when I said this.
"Okay... time for purification"
------------------------
Daniele pov
When I opened my eyes, I was greeted by complete darkness and that scent that calmed my soul.
My face was pressed against the clouds...that is, Gabriel's breasts.
I wouldn't have a problem staying here forever, but it's not possible.
As I departed with a slight sense of loss, I came face to face with the divine face.
"What's the problem ?"
I gave Gabriel a sarcastic smile in response to his question, of course after calming my excessively fast-beating heart.
"I fell asleep here but didn't tell the others, the girls must be worried."
Gabriel blinked a few times; her long eyelashes made it look very attractive.
She suddenly giggled at the end? Why?
"Ahhh~ my thoughtful Dany!"
She hugged me again with cheerful giggles and started planting kisses on my face and cheek. Stop! This isn't good for my heart!
"In Zebel, you can control the time to a certain extent, my little love."
She gently stroked my cheek.
"Don't worry, we haven't even been outside for an hour, so shall we spend some time together, Dany~"
With a smile, I hugged her and kissed her on the forehead as my hands went to her waist.
"Of course, Gabriel...but I'll text the girls anyway."
Gabriel may be my first love, but that doesn't mean I don't love other girls as much as her, or that I would cast them aside even for her... that's an act of stupidity that I would absolutely never do.
With Gabriel's cheerful giggles, I quickly messaged them.
........
"Dany, could you pass me the peppers?"
"Hmm"
I paused for a moment while stirring the egg mixture I had prepared, handing Gabriel the roasted red pepper.
Gabriel took them with a smile and slowly chopped them while I continued with my work.
O mix six of the eggs with the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning and pepper.
My gaze also drifted to the spinach and mushrooms standing in the corner.
"...does it have to contain mushrooms?"
I asked in poor of voices, almost begging.
"Don't be picky about food, mushrooms are good for you ♪"
I let out a grumble.
"I know, but I only like mushrooms when they're baked/fried with cheddar cheese; they become too soft in dishes like !"
Gabriel placed her finger on the chin of her divine face, thought for a moment, then winked at me while smiling.
"Hmm, if you eat it... I'll give you a reward."
..... Reward?
The idea of a prize came to me from Gabriel... okay, it's surprising that I thought of so many +18 things in a second, but even if it's a normal gift, it's interesting.
"...when are we putting this in the oven?"
Gabriel simply let out a laugh that was almost indistinguishable from music.
Once the preparations were complete, we started the process.
Gabriel preheated oven to 350°F. I placed a greased 9-inch springform pan on a double thickness of heavy-duty foil (about 18-inches square) and securely wrap the foil around the pan. She unroll one tube crescent dough and separate it into triangles.
I pressed the dough pieces into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form a crust, sealed the edges tightly, and we baked them for 10-15 minutes until cooked through.
While the dough was baking, Gabriel heated the oil in a large pan over medium-high heat and added the spinach and mushrooms (ugh!). Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms were softened. Drain on several layers of paper towels and pat dry thoroughly.
I placed half of the ham, salami, and provolone cheese on top of the dough, while Gabriel added half of the red peppers and spinach mixture.
We poured in the egg mixture I had prepared beforehand.
We repeated this several layers
After pouring the remaining egg mixture on top, we covered it with the same shaped dough pieces that we used to form the base.
And the final step.....
Place the dough over the filling. Whisk the remaining egg and brush it over top of the dough.
It now needs to stay between one hour and one hour and 15 minutes.
"Let it stay for one hour and five minutes."
"It suits me"
I shrugged at Gabriel's suggestion, puffing out her chest proudly, which caused those unparalleled waves to tremble.
Of course I looked, besides I a healthy man, she's my lover.
Gabriel looked at me and pout
"Perverted Joker"
She said, gently pinching my cheek.
"Sorwry"
As I said this, making a funny sound from my drawn-in cheek, Gabriel sighed and smiled at me, then let go.
She wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed my cheek.
"Well, our meal is still a long way off, shall we watch a movie?"
"Of course, madam."
I put my arm around her waist and said with flirtatious gesture it made her smile
........
"This man is definitely not Lucifer."
While Gabriel was saying this, I fed her a chip dipped in sauce.
"Well, it's a series after all."
Gabriel thought for a moment, then nodded and fed me her cheese chips.
"I must admit, if that's not actually the case, why is Lucifer portrayed as Angel in most modern narratives?"
This was something I was really curious about.
"The reason for this is that the terms 'Fallen Angel' and 'Devil' are often confused with each other, and as the Bible was passed down through generations, it became misunderstood over time; sadly, some even tried to rewrite it to their own liking."
As Gabriel sang the final part, she expressed both sadness and dissatisfaction with the people mentioned.
But her words also helped me understand what was necessary, I mean, look at Norse mythology, most people think Loki is Odin's son because of Marvel, unless they go and look it up.
"If Lucifer actually saw something like this happening, he would probably try to capture and torture everyone involved."
"...just for a TV series?"
Gabriel nodded
"Lucifer's most dominant trait was his pride and arrogance; all his other emotions and desires revolved around this.It's clear that this series is better than the original Lucifer, for one thing, he really loves that police officer. "
Gabriel said she he snuggled a little closer into my arms.
"Perhaps if it had been like in this movie, he and my father could have found a common path, and there wouldn't have been blood and death, maybe even my father..."
Gabriel's voice grew quieter and quieter, and her shoulders trembled slightly.
I hugged her tighter to comfort her.
Speaking of GoB, a particular memory comes to mind, that pure light presence.
[Then show her]
<...are you sure, you know—>
[Bah! I'm not a baby to cry over defeat, the God of Power rightfully defeated me, I even respect him for that, so don't worry about me, just do it, you fool!]
[Meh]
I don't know how to say this, but I have to start somewhere.
"Gabriel, I---"
*Ring!!!!*
Gabriel suddenly vanished from where he was standing and darted into the kitchen.
I only heard her voice.
"Our food has arrived!"
I opened and closed my mouth...in the end, all I could manage was a helpless smile...this is my girl.
....
Italian Brunch Torte
This was the meal we made
"It tastes better than I expected."
Gabriel said it while picking up a fork, and she was right.
"Considering it was my first attempt, it tasted MUCH tastier than I expected."
Gabriel reached out and took my hand.
"Perhaps it is thanks to 'love'"
I felt my cheeks getting a little warm, but I still brought our fingers together.
"I'm sure it is."
Gabriel looked at me with sweetly flushed cheeks and offered me a bite from her fork.
"Indirect kiss"
Gabriel frowned while I giggled and ate the Torte on my fork.
It was a good thing I convinced Gabriel to add extra chili flakes.
"Despite the mushroom~?"
"Despite the mushroom"
We both giggled/chuckled
Then I looked at Gabriel.
"Gabriel, I want to show you something."
"Hmm?"
As I watched her beautiful face fill with astonishment, I took a deep breath and quickly cast my spell.
†Dream Fairy, Queen Maeve!
Let Her Draw Us to Her While She Is Opening the Gate!†
Suddenly, an image from my memories flashed before us.
Regulus's battle with Heracles
"When I acquired 'Abyss Side,' Regulus and I were able to look into each other's memories."
Gabriel kept staring at scene instead of answering.
Skipping through the scenes, I finally reached the scene where Regulus loses.
".....poor Regulus"
As she mumbled this, she saw something that finally took her breath away.
Her attention was completely focused on the image as the fork in her hand fell to the table.
Her mouth dropped open in disbelief.
Tears suddenly started to flow.
Although it pained me to see her like that, I let her watch because those hidden tears weren't actually from sadness.
Eventually,he started talking to Typhon and it continued until the end.
When I finally broke the spell, Gabriel fell silent, but tears streamed down her face.
I approached and gently wiped away her tears with a napkin I took from the table.
Instead of stopping me, Gabriel leaned down to wipe it away, but even then, it kept running.
Maybe I shouldn't show it.
But Gabriel suddenly jumped towards me.
She wrapped her arms around my body and buried her face in my chest.
We fell to the floor as we were thrown from the chair, yet I ignored it all, instead wrapping my arms around the woman I loved so much and gently stroking her head.
Even though her tears were soaking my t-shirt, it was ignored; it didn't matter right now.
My fingers traced through her flowing, golden hair, which resembled a waterfall.
Although the reaction might seem excessive, it wasn't actually; the scene shown wasn't like watching television, it was directly reflected from memories, meaning you could feel like it was right in front of you, like a 2.5D or 3D scene.
Sitting on the floor, I silently allowed my presence to comfort her, and we stayed like that, hugging each other for almost ten minutes.
When she finally pulled back, she whispered as rested her face against my neck.
"..... thanks .....To you too, Regulus "
[It's okay, but if you don't cry like that when partner is around, he start crying too.]
Gabriel giggled sweetly as my eyebrow twitched.
She held my hand and brought our fingers together.
"Don't worry, after all, I don't want my Dany to be upset, he's the only one for me."
It was NOT fair that she made my heart race so easily.
"Shall we explore this place a little more?"
"Yes, but let's finish Torte first."
"Hmm, it would be one of those that feed me."
What a spoiled king I have
Nevertheless, I nodded with a smile on my face.
[You are too weak against your harem]
[Rare gem my ass]
I sneered at Regulus's reference, focusing instead on my goddess in my arms.
.....,...
Gabriel was pulling me by the hand with a smile on her face; at least her mood had somehow MUCH improved after seeing my memories.
And we weren't alone, Snowball was walking beside us, Where are you taking us, Gabriel!
Until finally we came to the front of a room
When I glanced at Gabriel with curiosity, she opened the door with a bright smile and gestured with her hands.
"Here's our game room!"
I raised an eyebrow, expecting to find technology and video games inside, but instead it resembled a rather large inflatable room.
.....where is this game room----
"Now Snowball!"
Wait why---woah!!!!!
Snowball suddenly hit me from behind!!!!
The moment my feet touched the floor, I was startled and jumped into the corner with soft force!
It's like the Supernatural level of a bouncy castle!
Snowball and Gabriel jumped inside and closed the door behind them.
That filthy tiger was practically mocking me!
Gabriel, on the other hand, was laughing heartily.
"This is Snowball and me's de-stress room! Now Dany...you're the seeker!"
They both looked at me playfully while jumping around me... send them over!
As I leaped towards them, Gabriel suddenly bent her back with a surprisingly agile movement, but I quickly turned and landed again, then leaped after her
But suddenly, two paws pressed down on my back... Snowball!?
The winged tiger, throwing me off balance, was taking me away from my target while both of them were jumping around me with delight.
No matter what I did, either Gabriel or Snowball stopped me, damn it, how much time did they spend here?!
And I'm losing two to one.....well, let's turn the situation in my favor!
I lunged towards Gabriel in an instant!
Gabriel stepped onto the ground and gently bounced back.
Even though Snowball came from a blind spot... he fell straight into the trap!
"Regulus"
Suddenly, my partner appeared rapidly among the light particles and collided with Snowball.
[Haha, take that!]
"Rarw!?"
Snowball let out a startled shriek, while Gabriel glared at me and suddenly jumped past me incredibly fast.
"This is cheating~"
But suddenly, Bester (the mature one) emerged from my shadow and blocked Gabriel's path with his body and shadowy branches.
"Nope....this is a cheating"
I reached out to her!
...she grabbed....my wrist???
Gabriel 's wings pierced through all the shadows as they emerged, and before she could throw me away, I grabbed her wrist.
"Huh??"
She let out a surprised sound, and suddenly, with great momentum, we both bounced all over the giant inflatable room at full speed!
So much so that even Bester, Snowball, and Regulus stopped and started watching us!
After bouncing a few times on the ground, we finally landed.
We both looked at each other blankly as we hugged.
""""Pfffttt---"""""
We both burst into laughter.
"That's really bad, Dany!♪"
"Pffftt---, you're the one who started it!"
We both argued amidst laughter, then hugged and playfully pushed and shoved each other a bit.
Finally, with Gabriel's body pressed against mine, She climbed on top of me and wrapped her arms around my neck.
Regulus, Snowball, and Bester left the room and allocated time for the visa application.
Our lips instinctively come together
This time, to go a little further, I reached out and touched her breasts.
The moment I touched her, Gabriel opened her mouth and let out a sweet sound.
As my tongue reached out to hers, we met in an awkward kiss.
As one of Gabriel's hands ran through my hair and her voluptous body moved over me, I reached out and traced her narrow waist while her other hand grasped my shoulder.
When we finally parted with a bridge, she was looking at me breathless and with flushed cheeks, I have no doubt that I was the same way.
Finally, we leaned closer again for a normal kiss, this time more innocently, our lips pressed together.
Gabriel slowly moved to lie down beside me, then hugged me and leaned her face in my chest.
"I love you, Dany"
"I love you too, Gabriel"
"Will you stay with me forever?"
"No... even if everything comes to an end, I will still be with you."
We snuggled up there as I stroked her golden hair.
"*giggle* Your heart is beating so fast, Dany, and am I feeling lust for you?"
I shrugged.
"The most beautiful woman in the world is in my arms, both hugging me and pressing her magnificent body against mine. If the other person isn't gay, and even if they were, it would be hard not to feel something."
Gabriel, however, pouted.
"Do you say this to every girl?"
I looked at her with a grin.
"Only those who make my heart race, and coincidentally, 90% of them are already my wifes."
Gabriel blushed slightly....moe!!!
"You sweet talker—wait, what about the remaining 10%"
I slowly averted my gaze.
"Unfortunately, we cannot discuss this matter."
"You naughty Joker!"
Gabriel reached out and pinched my cheeks, saying
"That hurts!"
"You're lying right now, nothing escapes me ♪"
Ugh,she literally reading me completely!
Finally, she released my cheek again, planting kisses on both sides before standing up.
"Now let's move to the other parts of the room."
She clapped her hands while winking at me
Suddenly my body lifted off the ground, and definitely not because I was flying.
"Welcome to the zero-gravity room ♪"
Even though I tried to touch something, all I could do was somersault in the air, but unlike me, Gabriel was quite good at it; she even caught me and pulled me to the ground.
We did a somersault in the air while she hugged me.
"Don't worry, trust me ♪"
I didn't hesitate to bury my face in her shoulder, and we glided from place to place, intertwined in each other's arms.
......
When we walked out of the room hand in hand, Regulus, Bester, and Snowball were there.
We also visited other places together, such as Gabriel's training area.
Unlike Michael's floating arena or Uriel's fire arena, Gabriel's was more enclosed, giving it a more temple-like feel.
There were figures of various men and women holding flags, cross symbols were present during festivals, and there was an angel figure in the wall.
It exuded an artistic sensibility and aesthetic.
"Who are they?"
When I asked Gabriel, a mix of nostalgia and sadness flickered in her eyes.
"Saints, those who were devoted to the Church to the very end and who would not hesitate to risk their lives for it, at least deserve a commemoration."
This woman... seriously, she's like the biggest cinnamon roll in existence.
She smiled at me and rested her head on my shoulder when I held her hand to comfort her.
Instead of showing me her house in more detail, Gabriel stopped the tour here at that moment.
"This is Dany's house now too, so let's explore it in more detail together in the future~"
She wrapped her arm around me and rested her head on my shoulder...yes, her words still have a profound effect on me.
-----------------
Italy
Daniele Mansion
"""""Congratulations!!!!""""
As soon as we entered the house, this is what we get.
Nine beautiful people suddenly threw confetti at us, and lots of cakes and desserts had been prepared behind them.
...of course, they surrounded Gabriel while quickly pushing me aside.
.....pain
Ravel came to me with a cake in her hand.
"Um... go ahead Daniele-sama, and um *cough* Congratulations."
I looked at her for a moment...and hugged her tightly.
Even though her face flushed with astronomical cuteness and she froze, she didn't push me away.
"My secretary is the best!"
"D-ddd--ddddd-Daniele-s-sama y-your face, your faces are so close!"
Pfft---
When I let go of her, she was as if it would vanish into thin air.
Immediately a hand reached out and cupped my cheek.
"Dany-san~~ Don't bully Ravel-san!"
Asia said it to me in a scolding tone.
...why I like it when she scolds me, I'm definitely not M, probably because she's cute
"Can you repeat your words?"
But Asia puffed out her cheeks instead.
At that moment, another hand grasped my other cheek.
"Never mind, Asia, this cheeky brat is probably enjoying it."
Akemi joined her too!
Okay, wait!
I gave them a displeased look as finally withdrew her hands.
"What does that mean, Akemi?? I'm not M!"
Akemi approached with a mischievous smile and lifted my chin with her finger.
"Why don't we give it a try?I see that potential in you."
"No way! There's no way Dany likes pain!"
Lavinia suddenly came and pulled me to her breasts, that's my girl!
"But Darling sometimes grins even when they're arguing,"
"Especially with Lucifer"
While Irina and Via were presenting their views, Shigune was looking at me with strange looks
"Are you really interested in things like that?If you want, I can ask Barakiel for books or something."
As I said! No!"
Here I raised my arms in defense of my honor.
"Umm"
Ravel raised her hand too.
"We may need to eat quickly because Ophis-sama..."
When we all returned to the spot Ravel pointed to, she had already devoured a quarter of the food and wouldn't stop!!!!
At that point, we dropped everything and rushed to the table!
......
Why did she sit on my lap again?
I was sitting in a chair with Ophis, who somehow ended up in my lap again, eating the desserts on the table, thankfully it turned out Asia had anticipated this and stocked up on extra!
We also had a conversation, of course.
"So Darling, you were quite brave there, it would have been very embarrassing if you had been rejected so suddenly."
Irina said this while taking a sip of her soda.
"When you say it...it kind of happened that way...but it was definitely worth it, I would do it for all of us under the same circumstances."
I said it shamelessly to Rossweisse and Ravel too... what, I'm flirting with them after all, of course I'll mean them too.
"So, is Gabriel-sama now our sister or our boss?"
Via spoke right after Irina asked this question.
"Does it matter? I mean, Lady Gabriel mostly hangs out with us instead of acting like our boss."
Gabriel didn't hesitate to hug them either.
"Of course ♪ you can think of me as your sister, and while we're at it, please leave out those respectful suffixes too ~"
"So, Gabriel-san?"
Asia bowed her head while Gabriel complained.
"Also, there's no '-san' either, Asia~"
Asia nervously fiddled with her fingers.
There was an apologetic smile on her face...yes, she'll continue to say '-san'.
"Have you spoken to the other Seraphs, or about Heaven's attitude?"
Lavinia asked me
"Well, Uriel, Raphael, Michael, and Raguel were there, I spoke with them, although Uriel had sternly warned me not to upset Gabriel directly."
"Ultimately, you formed a relationship with your boss and the princess of Heaven."
Akemi pointed this out, Gabriel just nodded.
"I still love Dany, and I'll scold Uriel if he does anything wrong."
...... sorry, Uriel.
"Well, I don't know about them, but I'm sure the supernatural world isn't in a very good mood."
Shigune said this... what does that mean????
"Look here, Daniele-sama"
When Ravel handed me her phone, the [Angel.Net] website was open.
.......
Lion-Slayer 27562 Members

"Have they created an anti-account for me!?"
I shouted in astonishment
"No, they created anti-accountS against you."

And it kept going on!!! I counted at least 9!!!!
"Six of them were founded by Azazel~"
My eyebrows twitched as Lavinia raised her finger to explain.
Azazeeelllll! What's your problem?!?!!
[Wasn't that guy crazy about Gabriel?]
.....oh, that's right...but that doesn't make him right!!!
I hung up the phone with a sigh.
"So...what do you think?"
I grumbled slightly when Gabriel asked me this.
This is frustrating... however, if this is the price of being with you girls... I'll gladly pay it."
Via got up and hugged me, then Irina, Sonda Shigune and....yes, I found myself surrounded by all my wives, Ophis? She disappeared from my lap, then reappeared in the chair.
I embraced them with my wings too.
I secretly noticed Rossweisse and Ravel casting slightly envious glances as well... well, there's no need to hesitate at this point.
"Aren't you two coming?"
Yes...I seriously asked that.
Ravel recoiled and became red at first, but she still came.
Rossweisse, though a little more hesitant and squirming, also arrived.
And Ophis (Chibi) unexpectedly came to give a hug too.
I was currently being hugged by 10 divine beauties, what did that mean.... let them hate me as much as they want, in the end I think I'm the winner hehe~
[Partner, you're a lucky bastard]
That's exactly why I need to treat them with the utmost care!
I will give everything I can to the women who gave me everything!
"Oh, by the way, we're almost out of supplies."
Hmmm???
I looked at Asia.
"How? We had stockpiled quite a lot."
I asked in a bewildered tone
"Ophis and Shigune-chan are super fast."
As Irina said this, Ophis simply shrugged her shoulders, and heterochromia beauty 's face blush.
"Let's place the order then."
As Via said this, Asia fiddled with her fingers a little.
"Actually... I was saying we go shopping as a family."
It's so bright!!! Where are my sunglasses!?
"That means the decision has been made."
Everyone except Asia nodded when I said this... for Asia (the mother of our house)!!!!
----------------------
Dragging Ravel along with us, we all set off towards the shopping mall.
Naturally, we changed our clothes accordingly.
Of course, we attracted a lot of attention when we were wearing more appropriate clothes for going out.
I was wearing a cream-colored, loose-fitting crew-neck sweater, regular jeans, and a gold cross tied around my neck.
In my left hand I had a bracelet that I got from Via, which looked like a watch to hide the cross with [Incinerate Anthem] on it.
Gabriel did the most.
Heaven's prettiest woman has taken it even further today with a style change.
A green turtleneck sweater that revealed her enormous breasts , a black skirt that accentuated her wide hips, long black stockings, and garter belts. And they were wearing long boots...yes, there were SO many people looking at Gabriel.
And for some reason, the glasses make her look quite stylish.
.......Aren't these Chisato's clothes?
Anyway, for others...
Unfortunately, she was already taken.
I could almost hear screams when I held her hand.
Although, with so many beautiful women around me, those sharp glances directed at me.....
Gabriel, for some reason, looked at me and giggled
However, I didn't pay much attention to those things after that and continued on; after all, we have a purpose here.
"Okay, now here's what we need to buy..."
Asia, with surprising leadership skills, told us what we should buy and so on.
While things were rapidly falling apart, Ophis I formed a group---Where did she go!?
........
Third person POV
After Daniele quickly parted ways with Ophis
He quickly set out to find the Dragon Goddess.
"Hey, you stop!?"
'...and I think I found her!'
Daniele quickly moved towards the sound, focusing on the perception technique he had acquired during training with Chamuel.
As the Divine Power and the Power of Light moved simultaneously in a swift and balanced manner, a specific area appeared in his mind in complete detail.....
His mouth twitched at the perceived scene as he hurried down the correct corridor.
....and there Ophis was running around with packets of junk food in her hands.
[What am I looking at right now?]
"Hold on, little girl! Just because they're sample products doesn't mean you can take them all!"
When Ophis saw Daniele, she quickly moved behind him.
"Sir...are you responsible for this girl?"
The middle-aged man pointed to Ophis, who was standing behind him and had already started eating from the packages.
".....it seems so"
"Please, I need to take the packets back. They are spare samples reserved for tasting; they're not free unless they're on a plate!"
'Yes, I have a rough idea of what's going on here.'
[She's already eaten almost it all]
Daniele did the only sensible thing he could do at that point.
...To take out his wallet
"Please watch out! What a disrespectful brat!It wasn't like this in my time, there was respect------"
'I've already paid, shut up and get lost!'
"---Watch out for that girl, lest she become a thief in the future! HMPH! Disrespectful, stupid new generation!"
The man grumbled as he took the money... though suddenly, a fleeting black light appeared above his head, making his wig disappear and revealing a bright mirror.
'Ugh, my eyes'
His gaze shifted to Ophis, who was to blame.
" 'These are free,' he said."
"What about the wig?"
"A wig instead of existence"
Daniele thought for a moment... then shook his head.
"Fair, let's find the others."
Ophis had already finished the remaining snacks.
Wearing a loose, hoodie, Ophis this time adopted a less curvy and more youthful, sweeter look.
She put the remaining one into Daniele's shopping cart...
.....and the moment Daniele winked, the cart was once again full of snacks.
'Yes... I can't say I wasn't expecting it.'
......
Daniele searched for Shigune using the same method and they found her in the bread aisle.
She was wearing jeans that hugged her legs and hips in a spectacular way, and a sleeveless black jacket.
She was holding Poh, disguised as a plush toy, in her arms.
These weren't the most striking things; her usual twin ponytail was styled this time as a ponytail with side bangs, highlighting her mature and attractive look.
"Ah, Dany"
Shigune shook her head as soon as she saw them.
When Daniele went over to her, he saw that she had already taken her share of things like bread...and lots of chocolate chip cookies, croissants, and snacks.
Shigune averted her gaze with a sweet blush on her cheeks.
Daniele, of course, couldn't resist taking a bite out of this apple.
"We are among people~"
Daniele shrugged at her shy expression.
"And you are my fiancée, I'm not going to ask permission from others to kiss you."
Shigune smiled mockingly at his strangeness, and then both of them, accompanied by Ophis, grabbed their shopping carts and set off to look for the others.
........
Xenovia was standing in the campsite with a knife in her hand.
She had strawberry-flavored gum in her mouth, forming bubbles.
She was wearing a black hoodie, mini denim shorts, and a black cap—a completely street-style outfit.
Daniele thought she looked very sexy at that moment.
'Although my fiancées always look beautiful and sexy.'
While Daniele was pondering his wise words, Xenovia noticed them and, with frightening skill, twirled the chopping knife in her hand, placing it on the table without the slightest scratch—although even if she wanted to, the knife couldn't cut her skin.
"Did you get the kitchen supplies?"
Xenovia nodded, then pointed to the knives and the tents.
"I was thinking of buying a couple of tents and stuff, maybe we could go camping sometime."
Daniele found this idea both amusing...and quite reasonable.
"Why not"
Xenovia, with a grin, quickly lifted the tents and heavy equipment as if they weighed nothing, leaving the employee working there utterly speechless.
She separated them and gave the employee the address where they needed to bring them.
Employee nodded his head with fear and difficulty, while Xenovia quickly returned to Daniele's side.
Xenovia, of course, immediately gave Daniele a kiss upon arrival.
After a quick kiss, she immediately took his arm and questioned him.
She lifted the basket filled with kitchen requirements that she was holding in other hand.
"Have you finished your lists?"
While both Shigune and Daniele were confirm, Xenovia nodded her head.
"Well, let's find the other one then!"
Her proud expression made Shigune and Daniele laugh, and they continued on their way accompanied by Ophis.
........
The group of four found the silver-haired Valkyrie, whom Daniele had led the search for.
Rossweisse was there, moving at full speed with his basket, carefully selecting the cheapest and best quality, even getting into arguments with some of the old women over certain items!
"Did that woman pull a taser on Rossweisse?"
Shigune said in surprise
"Shopping. It's like regional defense."
Ophis's analogy...fitted the scene before them strangely.
Rossweisse, having finally emerged victorious, received the discounted fruits and vegetables with a proud smile.
She wore a white blouse and a long skirt that was dark blue to almost black; with her narrow waist, large breasts, and wide hips, with her aqua eyes and silver-white hair she was a stunning beauty.
Rossweisse quickly noticed Daniele and the others.
"I need your help."
""""?????????""""
The group's only reaction was astonishment.
Rossweisse pointed to the Box food section in the corner.
"From what I understand, they sell Bento-style hot dishes, but only at half price during certain hours, and... as I just learned from the polite lady (from the old woman who pulled a knife on me), There's practically chaos because of them...and I want them, they're less than half the price despite the quality materials.....they should be mine."
Rossweisse had an expression on her face that sent shivers down the spines of the three of them, and drew curious glances from Ophis.
"Well, that suits me."
Xenovia put the heavy basket down and slammed her fist against her hand.
Daniele shrugged and left the shopping cart in Ophis's care.
Shigune did the same and came over to him.
Then an employee came and placed the discount labels on top of the Bento-style boxes and left.
.....and the war began!!!!!!
.......
"That old man tried to hit me with brass knuckles."
Xenovia spoke in astonishment.
"And that's not all, one of them tried to spray me with pepper spray."
Shigune sighed
Daniele looked at the electroshock gun burn on his waist, inflicted by an innocent-looking little girl.
[What kind of shopping mall is this?!]
Daniele shuddered; he definitely wasn't coming here again!
Then she looked at Rossweisse, who happily put the lunch boxes into the car.
'...maybe I'll come a few more times'
.......
Finally, they find Asia came together.
The beautiful woman with emerald eyes was examining the pans.
Even though she was incredibly cute, her alluring figure, framed by her red sweater and long white skirt, showed that this girl was more than just cute.
Asia's attention was entirely focused on the pans, unaware of the arrival of Daniele, Rossweisse, Ophis, Xenovia, and Shigune.
She examined the surface of the granite pan as she ran her finger over it.
"...I wonder if it will burn at the bottom...but it says it won't..."
Asia used a little of her angelic power, running her fingernail across the bottom of the pan to make sure it was firm enough.
"Okay, that works."
She turned her gaze to the employee there.
"Excuse me, is this a set product or is this a standalone ?"
The relatively mature woman examined the frying pan in Asia's hand.
"Ah yes, we have our product, a set of pots, pans and a large skillet, which is cheaper than buying them separately."
"How much cheaper?"
Asia asked the question quickly, the woman paused for a moment but then quickly continued.
"I can guarantee it will be at least $80 cheaper, and we have an additional guarantee."
Asia thought for a moment and nodded.
"I will buy it"
"I'll bring it right away."
As she went to pick up , Asia glanced around for a moment and looked at the group who were staring at her with amusement.
"...eh?"
......
"uuuuu~~"
Asia covered her flushed face with her hands, while the group giggled and laughed at her embarrassment.
"Asia expertly gave orders to the woman and---"
"Enough, Dany-san!"
Asia yelled at Daniele with a red face, reaching out to cover his mouth, but Daniele dodged and continued talking.
" 'Is there a set version of this?' She asked!"
"Enough~~"
Daniele kept dodging Asia's attempts to silence him.
Asia continued to complain, but finally threw herself into Xenovia's arms.
Bluenette stroked Asia's hair to comfort her and pointed to Daniele.
"You are being asked to stop!"
"Yes, madam!"
Daniele stood ready, playfully.
Xenovia nodded wisely, continuing to stroke Asia's hair as she buried her face in her breast.
"We'll tease Asia when gets home."
"A good plan"
Shigune gave a thumbs-up along with Daniele.
"You all are so bullies!"
.........
With Asia, who had been teased a bit more, joining the group, everyone else was quickly found.
Gabriel, Irina, Ravel, Akemi, and Lavinia each ended up collecting a total of 10 shopping cart, all packed to the brim.
As for the total price...
'Is this money or a phone number?????'
Daniele still pulled out his card.
Fortunately, thanks to his partnership in the rapidly expanding company and the considerable sum he earned from that campaign, he can still easily pay it off.
The purchased things were secretly thrown into space storage, and the journey continued.
Since the shopping was over, they naturally preferred to explore rather than leave immediately.
The first stop was the bookstore, which was essentially Rossweisse and Lavinia's preference.
While the two book-loving girls quickly went to where the heavy books, like encyclopedias, were located, the rest of the group went to look for books according to their own tastes.
Lavinia, wearing a one-piece blue dress with a slightly low neckline, was already examining a book about the North Pole, drawing the attention of those around her more to her than to the book.
"What are you looking for, Ophis?"
Daniele asked the little Dragon God
"Lovecraft."
And the little Dragon God left Daniele questioning life itself.
[Okay, this sounds bad]
".....why"
His voice trembled slightly.
"I was going to ask for their help to defeat Baka-Red, but I couldn't find them."
Daniele secretly prayed that Lovecraftian beings didn't exist in this world.
'We were all devastated.'
On the other hand, Irina had turned her attention to the manga section.
"Oho~ A new vol of Drag So-Ball!Let's see if Dells can win this time!"
Irina bought it without hesitation.
Xenovia's interest was drawn to a book there called "The Evolotion of Swords".
"Destiny"
She took the book with a grin.
Ravel was more into romance novels...oddly, they were about CEOs, and secretary.
Shigune, of course, looked at gourmet book , but she also picked up a few books on Japanese history.
Asia also acquired several new cookbooks and many Shoujou Manga.
Akemi was looking at the plush and figures there rather than any book.
From there, she bought a 'Marco The Phoenix' and Chibi 'Hermione Granger' figure.
......
"Great! I haven't bought any manga in a while, I can't wait to read it!"
Irina said it almost skipping.
Daniele then turned to Akemi, who was walking beside him.
"I didn't know you liked figures."
Akemi simply shrugged and gave a slight smile.
"No matter what anyone says, Manga is ultimately an integral part of Japanese culture, so there's nothing wrong with reading it."
"Hmm, hmm, wise words."
Shigune also expressed support for Akemi.
"Yes, I also enjoy reading Shoujou manga."
Asia lifted the manga in her hand and said, and Daniele came up behind her and quickly hugged her.
"Instead of reading Shoujou manga, how about living it~"
"Dany-san~"
While the two of them flirted with each other, the other girls watched them with playful/mocking/helpless smiles.
"Ah, the ice rink"
According to Rossweisse words, everyone saw an ice rink in front of the exit; the place they entered and the place they exited were essentially the two ends of the Shopping Center.
So they hadn't seen this when they came in.
"Should we do it?"
Naturally, interest in the group increased when Lavinia asked this question.
"Umm, I don't know."
Ravel seemed a little unsure.
"I don't know how to skate either, Lavinia-san."
"Well, why is our husband here? He'll teach you."
Xenovia said, putting her arm around Daniele's shoulder.
Daniele smiled, put one arm around her waist, and pulled her closer.
"Daniele-sama, do you know how to ice skate?"
Ravel asked with an intrigued expression, while Daniele nodded and explained in more detail.
"Before becoming an angel, I had to try out various methods for aerial combat, including gliding through the air before finally settling on the steps, so I had to learn.However, it wasn't as suitable for dynamic warfare as I'd wanted. "
They nodded their heads while expressing their understanding
"Okay, let's go then!"
Gabriel pumped her fist into the air.
........
"T-this---is very unstable!"
Ravel was supporting herself with Daniele's hands to avoid falling as her feet moved back and forth erratically.
"You're panicking too much, calm down."
"It's easy for you to say, Daniele-sama!"
As Daniele chuckled at her, the two continued gliding calmly, Ravel's beautiful face flushed with embarrassment.
An ice-blue fur coat, a blue beanie with red buttons ,She was wearing a purple mini skirt, black tights, a white sweater, and white boots,
Her developing, attractive body was relatively well-defined, and she could barely stand on her feet, with a shy expression on her face.
"Think of it like you're using the 'wind' property, essentially moving against the current, letting yourself go with it,"
As Ravel listened to Daniele's words, a wave of breeze so subtle it was imperceptible to the eye or the eye formed around her.
As she adapted to this, she gradually began to improve her movements.
However, there were still deviations in her movements, but essentially this was because she was VERY careful.
So Daniele decided to talk to her, to comfort her and distract her.
"So, did you have fun today, Ravel?"
"Huh?"
Ravel let out a surprised sound.
Daniele repeated his words without hesitation.
"You know, we going out and about and all that, did you have fun?"
"I... I had so much fun, to be honest, it's been a long time since I've been added like this, I always have so much fun whenever I come to Daniele-sama's house."
She said this with a warm smile.
As Daniele watched her intently, the words spilled out of his mouth on their own.
"Then why don't you move?"
".... to move"
Ravel stared at Daniele with her mouth open.
"Yes, to our house, with the girls and me...would you like to live with me?"
The blush on Ravel's cheeks instantly spread across her entire face.
"B-but wouldn't that create a conflict... you know--what if they get the idea of a competition?"
Ravel stammered barely.
"...that's the whole point anyway."
Ravel looked at him in astonishment as he continued.
"I don't want some Devil Noble or anything like that suddenly showing up and proposing to my secretary."
Looking directly into Ravel's eyes
He whispered as narrowed the distance between them.
"I don't want anyone else to take my little bird."
What Ravel did was to bury her face directly in Daniele's chest and remain silent.
Daniele gently wrapped his arms around her, not disturbing her, and the two continued to glide slowly.
"I... I'll talk to my family."
"So, does that mean you want this?"
"Um... I... um... um... am I getting better at ice skating!!!?"
Daniele rolled her his at her obvious attempt to change the subject, but didn't reveal it.
"Actually, that's better, after all, nobody's perfect overnight--"
"Fuhu!"
Irina sped past them.
She suddenly jumped up, did a spin in the air, and landed on the ground as if nothing had ever happened.
She was wearing dark purple jeans that clung to her hips like a second skin, and a lilac sweater.
It emphasized her athletic, well-balanced physique.
Seeing Ravel's mouth open, Daniele reached out and closed it.
"Don't be surprised, Irina has always been the best among us in sports that require flexibility and speed."
".... I see"
Then Daniele politely extended his hand to his next student.
"Dany-san"
"My Princess"
Asia giggled and took Daniele's outstretched hand.
Shigune had already taught him some of the basics before Daniele took over, meaning Asia learned more easily than Ravel.
Seizing the opportunity, they adopted a dance-like posture; Asia's hand was on his shoulder while Daniele's hand went to her waist, and the two danced slowly
Of course, he didn't neglect the other girls either.
Whether it was dancing, playing tag, or just racing, or even carrying Ophis on his shoulders and sliding around like that.
......
Following this, the group's next stop was a instrument store.
It was Ravel's wish.
As soon as they entered, Ravel quickly grabbed violin and began to play.
'Woah'
And It was more than excellent.
It is generally expected of the nobles of the underworld to play at least one musical instrument, or even if they don't wish to, to have at least some proficiency in an art form; it is considered common sense for them.
Essentially, a noble should be better than others whenever it is able.
"Is the bird trying to impress Dany?"
Ophis's question caused Daniele to suddenly cough, while Gabriel giggled, leaned in, and whispered in his ear.
"You know right, Dany, Ravel is head over heels in love with you."
Daniele gave a helpless smile.
"I know... and I plan to confess soon, what do you say?"
"Hmm, I approve."
Via nodded
"Oh, Ravel-chan is so cute!"
Irina continued
"Well, it was just a matter of time."
Shigune shrugged.
"Fufu~ I definitely give full support ♪"
Lavinia showed a wide smile.
"As expected from Dany-san...but I have no problem with Ravel-san."
Asia nodded.
Akemi, who was the last one left, shrugged at everyone's stares.
"Ah, I'm not against it, after all, the closer she are, the easier it is to tease her."
After saying this, Akemi stepped forward and headed towards where the cellos were, giving Ravel a smug, provocative look.
"Do you... play the cello????"
As Ravel mumbled, Akemi let out a feigned sigh, crossed her arms under her breast, and pushed the giant mountains even higher.
"What a coincidence, isn't it?"
Ravel's mouth twitched violently.
Then Akemi smiled at Daniele while closing one eye.
It was a magnificent sight: a long purple skirt, a white shirt with a purple ribbon, and numerous cellos surrounding her.
"Don't take your eyes off me for a moment, my husband."
And what was heard afterwards...was like a blessing for the ears.
......
Daniele Mansion
"Ah~ that was so much fun!"
Gabriel threw herself into the couch.
"Yes, the last time I had this much fun was when we went to the beach."
Lavinia sang in a similar cheerful tone to Gabriel.
"Oh yes, it was so much fun, when can we go again!"
Irina quickly regained her energy.
But Xenovia grabbed her by the shoulder and threw her back onto the sofa.
"We just arrived, hold on, energy ball"
"You're so rude, Xenovia-san~"
As Asia spoke, Bluenette shrugged.
"Actually, I agree with Irina, it could be fun."
Daniele spoke at that moment.
"Do you want it for the beach, or for us in our bikinis?"
Akemi raised an eyebrow and he nodded.
"Yes"
"Is 'Yes' even a complete answer?"
Rossweisse mumbled, leaning on her hand.
"Are we going to Onigashima again?"
As Shigune asked the question, Ravel surprisingly raised her hand.
"Actually, for the beach..."
------------------
Kyoto
"That's all right, Kunou Ojou-sama, congratulations!"
"Thank you, Suzuya-sensei"
Suzuya, the Youkai who taught Kunou lessons in grace, was essentially Ao-Nyobo.
It was a type of Youkai with an incredibly ugly and frightening face, constantly applying even worse makeup; even a middle school student would wet their pants from fear.
However, Kunou only glanced casually; as the future leader of Kyoto and herself a Youkai, she had seen stranger things before and didn't think she was ugly.
"Then I'll be alone for a while, Sensei."
Kunou asked permission to leave the room, thankfully Suzuya immediately allowed her to.
"Kunou Ojou-sama is so sweet ~~ not as sweet as me though."
......
To be sure when Kunou was alone, she entered the personal room, surveyed the surroundings with Senjutsu, and even placed a barrier with Youjutsu.
"Hoho~ not bad at all"
Nurarihyon appeared in the room at that moment.
"Grandfather Nurarihyon! Have you already arrived?"
"Chuckle, of course, little fox, if I want to hide, even the Gods won't be able to find me easily."
Nurarihyon stroked Kunou's hair while speaking in an arrogant tone.
Young Kitsune sulked, unhappy at being treated like a child, but still didn't want him to take his hand away.
"Anyway, why did you call me? Probably not to ask how I'm doing, or to see my magnificent head."
Nurarihyon pointed to his own pumpkin-shaped head.
Kunou giggled softly.
Then, as she coughed on her fist as quickly came back to herself.
"Actually, I need your help."
Nurarihyon raised one eyebrow and gestured for her to continue.
Kunou suddenly clapped her hands and, using her Youjutsu, created illusions of banners and fabrics with words written on them.
[The Golden Fox Plan in Kyoto]
Nurarihyon blinked, then twice... then again.
"So... you want to bring the lion kid and your mother together???"
"Umu"
Kunou nodded.
"My mother has been alone for a long time and she gets along very well with Dany-san, and I think Dany-san is a wonderful person and can make my mother happy."
Nurarihyon spoke, however, in an uncertain voice.
"Interesting, since you've become so attached to that lion brat... why didn't you choose him as your future husband? As a Kitsune, your kin usually choose mates relatively early."
Kunou fell silent, seemingly deeply considering Nurarihyon's words.
"How should I put it... I can't quite put Dany-san into it; he gives me a kind of older brother feeling, he spoils me, he lets me win in games and all that, but as a partner... yes, I definitely don't get that feeling from him."
Nurarihyon shrugged.
"Well, I was just curious, but there's a big problem with your plan."
"Hmm? What is it?"
This time Nurarihyon clapped his hands.
A scenario similar to Kunou has emerged.
[Lion and Nekomata in Kanto]
Kunou was left speechless.
"Well, Magari is single now and really needs to find someone."
Kunou gave him a disbelieving look...and then quickly shouted
"OKAA-SAN , CAN WE VISIT DANY-SAN?!"
She stormed out of the room
Nurarihyon quickly took out his phone and called Magari.
"Magari, move up your training session with the Lion Boy from two days ago! I've arranged a task for you that day! Hurry!"
...and the race has begun!!!!
Either way, it was going to be an eventful beach day for Daniele
