Chapter 99 - Chapter 106. Going Back To His Real Self.

Next morning…

Tanjiro went to work, while the children went to school. Nezuko was with Hawk on a small date to the city.

Shun reminded Daki…

"No bullying or hurting the family."

"I know!" Daki replied with anger, as it was the third time Shun had reminded her of the same words.

"Don't hurt strangers too, unless they deserve it."

"Okay."

Shinobu and Kie, who were listening to Shun's teachings, were stunned.

"Let's go have a date." Shun suggested to the three women.

"…"

Because Shun had been open from the start that he had other women, they missed the chance to even be angry.

"It's beautiful…" Daki muttered in awe. It had been centuries since she last saw the sun. Though she had hatred for the sun because of her past, she couldn't help but admit that it was beautiful.

But…

"Really? People tell me that I'm handsome, but beautiful is the first one. Thank you." Shun thanked her with a smile.

"…"

"Fufu~" While Daki and Shinobu were speechless, Kie laughed at his joke.

"Let's go play." Shun said and led them to a park. Because there wasn't really anything to do in the current year.

'If I'm not wrong, it's the early 1900s. Is there going to be a war soon?' Shun thought, but he didn't know if it was even the same world from what he knew.

After playing for an hour in the park, while the girls had fun.

"That was terrible." Shun complained, as it felt like just driving a car in different forms.

"Let's return. I'll show you a real entertainment." Shun said as he planned to show them a whole new world.

Shun bought groceries as he planned to make sweets. After making the girls sit in the yard with caramel popcorn and honey tea, Shun created a TV, the same one he had made in the Fairy Tail world when he was a kid.

"It's a movie called Poopooro. It's some monster cat movie." Shun explained as he played the movie on the slim TV that shouldn't have been possible.

The three were more interested in the weird device.

"What is it? How does it have color?" Shinobu asked a question proving that she was from the 1900s.

"I made it. Stop asking weird questions or I'll make Hawk retire again. Just watch the movie." Shun threatened her and made them sit next to him.

"…"

Shinobu by now realized that with Shun's personality, he might really do it. So she sat obediently.

——

After an hour and a half…

Even Daki was moved by what she had just witnessed.

"Why don't you sell it? You will become rich!" Shinobu said. At the mention of money, Daki realized her money was still in the Kyogoku house.

"Bring back my money!" Daki demanded.

"Alright, let's go together later."

'If I don't go with her, Daki might go alone and kill the greedy grandma…'

There was still some time before the kids returned, so Shun had a suggestion.

"Are you girls open-minded?"

——

Thus days passed peacefully.

Shun visited the One Piece world briefly, but nothing much happened there. Aramaki and others had just found the raging warlord.

So, Shun went to the Fairy Tail world.

Not just the Fairy Tail world, but Edolas, the one he hadn't visited in a long time.

Then he brought them all to his own guild.

The two Fairy Tails mingled chaotically.

What surprised Shun the most was…

"Gildarts, Laxus and Natsu left a note saying they'll go training for a year or two?"

"…Yeah, don't forget Happy too." Mira said with a smile.

"Apparently they took your advice seriously when you told them about the cowardly dragons that will come out once Acnologia is defeated."

"I see…" Shun didn't mind. It was good if they became stronger.

"Erza. I need you to go with me."

Suddenly Shun said, but…

"Which one?"

There were two Erzas.

"The one that likes me." Shun said, but both Erzas looked at each other awkwardly. Then Earthland Erza stepped up out of pity for Shun.

"I guess that's me?"

"…"

Shun was bad at dealing with Erza.

So Shun brought Erza to the floating house on Tenrojima. This time he had two serious reasons for bringing her, but Lucy, Juvia, Sorano and Mavis followed the two.

The group landed on the Tenrojima island, which was directly above the Magnolia.

After bringing them to an open area, Shun summoned the frozen Acnologia's corpse.

"!"

"I wanted to make a magic item with this. So I thought I should ask your opinion because I wanted to make an armor for you." Shun said, surprising the group.

"An armor made of Acnologia?!"

They suspected Shun of doing something to Erza, so they came out of worry that the serious girl might end up being tricked by Shun, but now they felt guilty for doubting Shun's intentions.

The girls suddenly felt jealous of Erza.

"Armor for me? But why?"

"Because you're the only one that uses armor. What else?"

"…"

"Or were you expecting something more?"

Anyone else would have felt embarrassed at his accusation, but it was Erza.

"More? What do you mean?"

"…"

"The armor won't be completed soon. I asked you today just to get your sizes."

"!"

'So this was his true intention!' Lucy was once again caught off guard by how she had underestimated Shun.

"How will you get the size? Do you want an armor for comparison?" Erza asked, surprisingly level-headed.

"No. That's inefficient. I'd rather just do this." Shun said and pulled Lucy to his arms, then under the eyes of the four girls, he began fondling her all over.

"Hey! Why me?!" Lucy protested, but…

"You don't want a magic item made of Acnologia's scales?"

This one statement made Lucy suck up all of her complaints.

After a few minutes of making Lucy make weird sounds and embarrassing everyone on the island, even including Erza…

"Hmm… bust 91cm, waist 59cm, and hips 88cm." Shun surprisingly gave an accurate estimation as he noted them down on a note.

"Anyone else want a magic item made of Acnologia scales?" Shun asked, and in less than a second later…

"Me!!" Juvia shouted. She didn't even want a magic item. She was in it just for the love of the game.

"Ahh~"

"…"

Juvia went through the same treatment as Lucy, but her reactions were too loud. It made Erza even more shy.

Shun noted down her sizes too. He wasn't lying about making magic items.

Then…

"Next."

"Me!" Sorano raised her hand and went through the same treatment.

"Next."

Though Mavis regretted coming here,

"Then I guess… me too…"

she raised her hand as well.

After four examples, Erza no longer suspected this weird size measurement.

"Then I'll go next." Erza said confidently, making the four girls from her guild feel guilty.

They came here to protect her but ended up becoming Shun's partners in crime.

Erza stood before Shun confidently.

"What's wrong?" She asked, but…

"Can you turn into more comfortable clothes?" Erza was in her usual armor.

"Turn into the Benizakura armor."

"Oh, you know its name?" Erza was momentarily surprised, then changed into what Shun had asked.

"Then I'll start the measurements." Shun said as he got behind Erza under the eyes of the four guilty girls.

"Go ahead." Erza said, not suspecting a thing before being hugged by Shun from behind.

"…"

Erza was about to say something, but she remembered that the four before them hadn't complained.

"Hmm, waist 58cm."

Then he stopped hugging her, making Erza sigh in relief as her face was burning up in shame.

"Next…" Shun grabbed her breast.

"!"

After fondling her chest each for more than a minute…

"Bust 94cm."

"Ahh~" Erza covered her mouth as soon as a weird noise came out.

"…"

"Erza makes such noises too, huh?" Lucy started giggling, much to Erza's embarrassment.

"Lucy…" Erza looked at Lucy in anger, but…

"I think 94 isn't it. Let me measure again."

"…"

Shun said once again as he got to it, making Erza breathe hard as the peaks of her mountains turned hard.

After five minutes, Shun was finally done.

"It's not 94 after all. I think it's 95."

"…"

'This bastard is really having his way with her. I'm glad I came to protect Erza.' Lucy thought, but in reality she wasn't protecting her at all.

"Phew." Erza no longer had the expression of a warrior as she experienced this feeling for the first time in her life.

But Shun spoke once again.

"I think 95 isn't right either."

"…"

——

After half an hour, Shun finally took the correct measurement.

"It's 94.5cm."

"…"

Pant-! Pant-!

Erza panted. Any longer and she felt like she was about to explode. But it was finally over.

"Now then… hip size."

"!"

Shun said and grabbed her rear tightly.

"Aahh-!"

"…"

Erza covered her mouth as she ran to the bathroom.

Once she was gone…

"You beast…" Lucy cursed him.

"I just took her measurements."

"You really think anyone will believe that?"

"Lucy… you need to think outside the box."

"Eh?"

"With Erza's personality, she is bound to get tricked by someone in the future. If I don't do it today, what if she brings some alcoholic degenerate home one day saying that he is a comrade or whatever?"

"…"

"That's why I have to protect her." Shun said, silencing the four girls. They agreed that Erza's personality was one where she would eventually be tricked by a scum, but Shun's trick wasn't a good one either.

Leaving them to their silence, Shun spoke.

"Think whatever you want. I'll go check on her. I'm worried." Shun said and left the four in front of the frozen Acnologia as he headed to the bathroom.

"…"

Knock-! Knock-!

"!"

"Erza, are you fine?"

Shun asked as he knocked on the bathroom door. Shun had made a great effort in making the best bathroom and shower room, so it was quite a luxurious space.

Erza remained silent as she sat there breathing heavily.

"I brought you here for one more reason today."

Shun spoke while Erza made no sound.

Suddenly…

[Yes? Is there something you wanted, Mr. Shun?]

Shun seemed to have called someone with a transponder magic sphere.

"Yes. You know we fought against the dark guild Grimoire Heart recently, right?"

[Of course!! We have heard of your heroic fight against the apocalypse dragon!] The chairman didn't miss the chance to suck up.

"During the fight, we found out that Jellal has been under the mind control of their guild master, Hades."

"!"

Both Erza and the chairman were shocked.

"So with that said… release him from prison within a month."

[A-A month? That'd be difficult, even for me…]

"Then let him escape from the prison instead of pardoning him." Shun was as unreasonable as usual.

[In that case, pardoning him is better… I'll do my best.] The chairman ended the call with a new headache. He even considered retiring soon. He loved being the chairman with Shun's backing, but the difficulties of Shun's occasional tasks were bad for his old heart.

Erza flushed the toilet. After fixing her clothes, she came out with a still flushed yet grateful expression.

"T-Thank you…" Erza said and tried to go back, but Shun grabbed her hand.

"The hip size measurement isn't done."

"!"

Creak-!

Shun pulled her back into the bathroom she had just come out of, with him.

Even Erza wasn't that gullible, but she felt like she owed him. Pardoning a criminal like Jellal wasn't possible if it wasn't pressured by someone of Shun's status.

Unknowingly, she had fallen to Shun's tricks without any resistance. The four girls came to protect Erza exactly for this reason, but they only ended up tricking her along with Shun.

"…You heard how hard I worked to pardon Jellal right? Stick your tongue out." Shun commanded.

"!"

Though shocked, Erza obediently stuck her tongue out, which got caught by Shun's fingers.

"I'd say it's about 7cm."

"!"

Erza's face flushed with shame before she completely fell for Shun's trick.

Shun and Erza stayed inside the bathroom for more than an hour.

The four girls came to check, but they were discouraged after hearing Erza's loud voice.

Only Juvia bit her lips until they bled in envy.

——

After a long time, the group gathered once again in front of Acnologia's corpse.

Shun pulled out a note shamelessly.

"Hip 94cm."

"…"

"Tongue 7cm."

"…"

"You really think you can keep going with that?" Lucy asked in frustration, but Shun pulled Erza for a kiss as a reply.

"!"

Erza's brain froze as steam came out of her head.

"It'll take about a month for everything to be done." Shun said as he headed towards the house with Acnologia's corpse magically floating behind him.

The five girls stood there silently as Shun left.

"…"

"…Sorry, Erza." Lucy muttered.

"…Why?" Erza asked.

"We couldn't protect you…" Lucy said dramatically.

"Enough about that!" Suddenly Juvia pushed Lucy off as she faced Erza.

"Erza-san!"

"W-What?" Erza replied. She still couldn't believe what she had done.

"Did it feel good?" Juvia was as shameless as ever when it came to Shun.

"…"

The other three were speechless.

"…Yes."

To their shock, Erza affirmed.

"Can you explain the details from start to finish?" Juvia asked once more. Even she didn't expect an answer, but when she got one, she got greedy.

"…He waited for me to leave the bathroom, then pulled me back inside. Then he forcibly—"

"Ahh-! Stop it!" Lucy stopped her before Erza leaked everything.

Seeing Lucy worried for her, Erza smiled as she said,

"You don't have to worry about me, Lucy."

"Eh?"

"He gave me more than what I asked for. I'm satisfied." Erza smiled.

"…"

'This girl… really has a personality that is in danger of being tricked by a scum. Maybe Shun did a good thing.' Lucy sighed.

——

Shun spent the next few days in debauchery, hopping between worlds and spending most of his time with Daki and Erza.

One day…

"Sir! We brought Edward Weevil and his mother alive!" Aramaki saluted at Shun's office.

Flamingo and Crocodile sighed with regret.

'…This bastard became a loyal dog. I wanted to kill him.'

Despite being with Shun, their nature didn't change.

"I see. Execute them today by shooting. The location will be Marineford Square."

"Yes sir!" Aramaki saluted, then got out to prepare.

"…"

"Go with him and write good news about it." Shun told the bird guy, Morgans.

"Yes!"

It wasn't the biggest event, but a former warlord being publicly executed was big enough. Morgans got out excitedly.

Despite not really being interested, Shun went to the square with his two secretaries.

It was uneventful, as no one came to save the mother and son.

No father came from under the sea wrapped in a bubble, nor did any Impel Down escapees fall from the sky.

——

Shun returned to the Fairy Tail world for a very simple reason…

It was Erza.

Erza previously was the only one who didn't stay at Shun's house, but now she had become a regular.

After seeing Erza leaving the bathroom, Shun grabbed her arm and entered a nearby room.

Erza didn't have any expression of shock on her face, as if she had already gotten used to it.

"Which one should I wear today?" Erza asked. To Shun's shock, she loved cosplaying and roleplaying.

"Hmm, wear the seduction armor." Shun said as if ordering food.

"…Okay." Erza nodded and changed into an armor she had previously only dared to imagine.

——

After telling Erza that Jellal had been released already, Shun received wholeheartedly devoted service from Erza.

After telling Erza the news, Shun went to the Demon Slayer world, as some weird people had come to visit.

When Shun entered, a total of eleven people were gathered in the backyard. Because the dining room wasn't enough for such a large group.

The hashira group and even Ubuyashiki the blind guy could feel an otherworldly presence as Shun entered the house.

'They're the hashiras and a guy that's been brainwashing them, Ubuyashiki and his wife I guess?'

"Huh? Why are there a bunch of people with swords? Are we being robbed?" Shun asked Kie as the kids were at school. Only Kie, Daki, Nezuko, and Hawk were at home.

"Eh? I let them in because Shinobu-chan was with them." Kie explained.

"…"

"Pfft—!" Someone from the hashira group found it funny while others got offended.

"S-Sorry!" Mitsuri Kanroji, the love hashira, covered her mouth after laughing.

"Haha… I'm Ubuyashiki Kagaya. Nice to meet you." A man that gave off a handsome vibe spoke, despite having a terrible scar. The man was elegant.

"I'm Shun. Nice to meet you." Shun greeted back, despite making fun of him for brainwashing the hashiras. Shun didn't really hate the guy.

"What did you come for?" Shun asked directly as he took a seat next to him in the yard, while the other hashiras were kneeling on the grass.

"!"

This seemed to irritate some people but Shun wasn't the type to care. Even if he was weaker than them, would anyone be kneeling on the grass in his own home?

"I came on this day to first thank you for helping us demon slayer corps. Also thank you for your service in slaying demons outside our country." Ubuyashiki bowed his head, him and the rest of the hashiras were quite moved after hearing Shun's story from Tengen.

'I agree that I made up quite a story on the spot but to think they would come to my house for that…'

"I see…" Shun rubbed the back of his head awkwardly.

"Though it's shameless, I also came to ask you to let Hawk work with us. He is young but without a doubt the most talented hashira in history. If he helps us… within our generation we will end the demons."

"…"

Hearing his words, Shun took a glance at Shinobu. Shinobu stared back angrily.

'She started to get angry because I threatened her too many times about how I might retire Hawk and made her do things.' Shun sighed then…

"Hawk. Go with them and kill the demons. Don't actively hunt the Gyutaro demon. Kill the others."

Shun said without hiding anything, but hearing his words the hashiras' expression turned dark while Daki's got brighter.

Gyutaro had already risen to the upper moon fourth rank. But any more than that was impossible.

"…Gyutaro? Is he…"

"He is my brother in law." Shun explained their doubts.

"!"

While Shun's words in front of all those hashiras moved Daki, it seemed to anger one particular hashira.

"You heretic, calling a demon your brother in law?"

The wind hashira, Sanemi, got up as he drew his sword but another blind man, who was also a hashira, clapped his bulky hands loudly.

"…We're in the presence of Master Ubuyashiki!"

Himejima Gyomei, the previously strongest hashira before Hawk, was quite disturbed by Sanemi's actions. As they were warned beforehand not to make Shun displeased, because they heard of how Hawk was forced to retire.

The wind hashira fell silent, as he sat down again.

"I'm very sorry but… About that incident… do you happen to have more pills that can reverse a demon into human?" Ubuyashiki asked, he like everyone else hoped to use the pill to defeat the demons.

"No. I gave the last one to Gyutaro. He might have it or already disposed of it."

"I see…" Though it was regretful, Ubuyashiki was more than satisfied with just Hawk becoming their ally again.

"Nezuko, sorry but go with Hawk again." Ignoring them, Shun gave command to his children instead.

"Yes!" Both Nezuko and Hawk were happy hearing Shun's instructions.

"But the enemy seems to get stronger this time, though I believe you don't need it… use this to protect yourself." Shun said as he pulled out a pistol.

Then he threw it at Nezuko, creating a funny image of an innocent country girl holding a pistol.

"W-What is this?" Nezuko asked flustered by the power she suddenly gained.

"Hawk, show her how to use it."

Hawk nodded and took the pistol from her and aimed at the wall.

To everyone's shock it didn't fire a bullet, instead it fired a literal sunlight. Which was the fatal weakness of the demons.

"!"

Everyone was shocked by this advanced technology.

'Well, I just stole that idea from Stroheim from a certain anime.'

Ubuyashiki got explained by his wife about what it was and had a delayed shock.

"T-This is amazing!" He was uncharacteristically excited.

Seeing their reaction, Shun decided to brag a bit.

"Honestly swords are outdated if you aren't on Hawk's level."

"…"

"Also… if you find the upper moons above the rank three, call me. I'll help you."

"!"

"Huh? Why do you suddenly want to help?" Ubuyashiki asked, he wasn't complaining just curious about the reason.

Shun wasn't really interested in stealing their powers at all. Lately he stopped stealing powers in general, the only exceptions were Doflamingo and Acnologia.

Kong and Doflamingo's families were better targets to steal than the Muzan group.

"Can you even be of help?" The wind hashira Sanemi commented as he was still a bit angry about how Shun was disrespecting his master.

Slam-!

"Someone of your standing can already guess my intention right?" Shun said and within a blink of an eye the wind hashira was thrown to the wall while Shinobu disappeared from her position and ended up beside Shun.

"!!"

While the hashiras were shocked, Ubuyashiki, a blind man, was getting informed and had a delayed shock. Shun continued.

"…I don't have a bias. I'll help my allies as much as I can." Shun said as he took Shinobu's hand in his.

Over the time they spent together, he had already been told about Shinobu's past.

"!"

Shinobu who had never been informed about this was visibly surprised as her face was turning red.

Due to the shock of not being able to see Shun's movement at all, even the one who was sent to the wall wasn't angry. He was just confused.

'What if he had a sword?' The thought sent a chill down his spine.

"…Can I stay the night here? I want to talk with you more." Shocking everyone, Ubuyashiki said to Shun.

"…"

'Is my charisma now charming even men now?'

Shun thought but he didn't realize that his fake story had won over Ubuyashiki's heart. As he realized that Shun had a similar story with their family.

"Sure. My children are coming home soon, let's have a dinner together." Though being bitter with them, Shun didn't hate them, even the wind hashira guy.

'Despite having a unique personality, he is a good man.' Ubuyashiki and the hashiras shared the same thought, not because of the food but his words that said 'my children'.

They had already done their research on Shun, they couldn't find anything about his family before he came here but they knew everything after that.

——

"So… are you guys all demon slayers?" Tanjiro the talkative was doing his job in the yard eating dinner with the hashiras.

Due to the large number of people, the hashiras had to dine in the yard. Tanjiro joined them and had been talking nonstop for half an hour.

While they listened to Tanjiro, their real focus was on Shun and Ubuyashiki's conversation.

"I don't have any more guns, because the only demon slayer in my family is apparently a fan of swords."

"Haha, I see… that's unfortunate." Ubuyashiki said but no one wanted someone of Hawk's skill to be wielding guns.

"What do you do in your free time?"

"I eat grapes and gamble."

"…"

"One of my favorite pastime activities was destroyed by two of your hashiras recently." Shun complained with a sigh.

After the dinner was done, Ubuyashiki had to lie down in the guest room. Because he got a little carried away today and worsened his health.

Though Shun felt bad, he had no intention of healing the guy or making him healthier.

"Shun-san, about what you said earlier…" Ubuyashiki asked weakly from his bed, his wife sat next to him nursing him.

Shun nodded and spoke.

"…If you act as a prey to the leader of demons, I'll finish him off."

"!"

Everyone's face changed at this.

'There's nothing more fun left in this world. If you help me find Muzan, I'll drop a sun on his head and be done with this world…'
