Chapter 476 Part 2 (Patreon)

It wasn’t the first time we’ve met, but I don’t think it counted while he was unconscious. But seeing him right now looking at me like this, full of happiness and excitement, well….all trepidation I originally had, all the anxiety and hesitation, it just vanished right here and now.

I had a brother.

It wasn’t a sudden revelation, but it was seemingly finally recognized in my mind.

However…..I had no idea how to act.

How was I supposed to act towards my ‘Little Brother’? It was easier when I treated other people as siblings since they weren’t connected to me by blood.

Honestly, I don’t think he even realized the strain between myself and his parents. Oh kids weren’t stupid, he obviously knew that we didn’t get along and we were estranged, but to the extent, he probably didn’t have the depth of experience to really understand.

Perhaps my relationship with Venelana and my also saving him beforehand also warped his perception a bit to make him think it also wasn’t nearly as bad as it actually was.

That is, if he even knew about me and Venelana.

That was probably an awkward experience that one of them had to have with their child. And perhaps the thought of them forced to go through with that conversation made me a little happy.

“Can I call you Big Brother?” Millicas asked after a moment of silence since our introductions.

…..that caught me completely off guard.

“Yes.” I forced out.

I wasn’t against it just…..it was sudden and I wasn’t prepared.

I just had to remind myself that he was a Kid Kunou’s age and missed a lot of social nuance.

Millicas brightened up immediately, like an invisible wall between us broke. “Big Brother, look!” He fiddled at a small pouch on his waste and his arm reached far inside of it. It was obviously much bigger on the inside. And he pulled out a sword.

It was a real sword at first glance, made of stern materials even by my minimal inspection, however it was merely missing an edge. “I got a sword too, and I was practicing!” He practically pushed it into my hands.

I hesitantly grabbed hold of it and I was right, it was a fairly descent sword. It could take hits from  my other swords and hold on for awhile.

The benefits of being raised as what is basically nobility.

There was a twinge of…envy but it was squashed fairly quickly by just his genuiness he was showing.

“It’s a good sword.” I admitted, not sure what to say still.

“I can make it fly too!” He grabbed it back without hesitation and seemingly cast a spell to make it levitate. “I can’t get it to move yet, but I’m practicing a lot so I can be like you.” He smiled happily.

“….you’re practicing?”

“Uncle Okita is training me.” He nodded happily, taking his sword back and putting it away.

Right, I hadn’t thought about him in awhile. I was mildly curious to see how strong he really was, because our ‘fight’ wasn’t a good indication of that. Not only was he holding back, but he was a killer. The simple fact that he wasn’t ‘allowed’ to kill me already severely hampered his strength to a high degree.

“I can….show you how to do that?” I offered. “Making it fly, I mean…”

“Really?!” His eyes lit up.

I looked at Venelana and she just slightly nodded with a smile. “Yeah, It’s not too difficult.”

“Daddy…..” Kunou snuck up behind me, peeking out from behind while she grabbed hold of me.

She was looking at Millicas strangely.

Millicas seemed to stare at her in confusion and surprise for a moment before smiling. “Hi, I’m Millicas Gremory.” He introduced himself politely, if stiffy. Sort of like he was copying the ‘correct’ and ‘noble’ way to greet someone, but somewhat stumbling because he’s still a kid.

“I’m Kunou.” Kunou’s tails lightly swayed. “…..He’s my daddy.” She sounded sort of….defensive with that statement.

“It’s nice to meet you!” Millicas I guess didn’t catch the undertone and just continued. “I’m his brother, I hope we can be friends!”

[It’s funny.] Ddraig sounded humored by this whole thing. [You can fight Gods, you will behead your enemies with a grin if you feel like they deserve it. You can destroy mountains with a flick of your wrist. But you’re out of your depth and fumbling when dealing with a child.]

Fuck you, Ddraig.

{Leave him alone, he’s doing fine.} My Zanpakutō chimed in.

Thankfully, Yasaka came up, scooping Kunou into her arms. “It’s a pleasure to have you join us, Millicas. I heard all about you, the little genius of the Gremory family.” Yasaka navigated the situation immediately and much better than I did.

“Ah…oh, um.” Milicas sort of shifted. “I thank you for inviting me, Lady Yasaka.” He awkwardly mimicked the actions that he was probably taught many times in his life.

“You’re just adorable.” Yasaka cooed. “Would you like to change into your swimming clothing?”

“Yes Ma’am, I have it ready.” He politely nodded.

“Kunou dear, why don’t you show him the restroom where he can change.” She sat Kunou back down on the ground.

The little fox’s ears twitched. “Fine.” She grumbled as the two moved off to the downstairs bathroom.

Venelana kissed me on the cheek. “You handled that well.”

“I was like a fish flopping out of the water.” I deadpanned.

“Don’t belittle yourself for taking a proper step.” She lightly chided. “How are you feeling?”

“Honestly? No idea, but I think….I’m doing good.” I found myself smiling.

“We’ll talk about it later, alright?” She said.

“Alright.” I just nodded.

“Don’t worry, small steps.” She said with a warm and reassuring tone. “This isn’t something you should stress over. Relax, enjoy the time, just do what comes naturally, you’re not going to cause any harm. Millicas is a smart boy, he isn’t oblivious to your feelings.”

Right, no need to treat this like the….dinner from before.

This was supposed to be about relaxing and having fun.

“So is this everyone, or…?” I looked around as everyone was glancing my way, obviously they were watching me meet my Half-Brother for the first time.

“We have a few more arriving.” Artoria stated. “But they are already prepared, we can depart once everyone here is ready and teleport them.”

Sounds good to me!

Just a day of relaxing, I was already starting to feel better.

@***@

Stepping out into the sun with the warm sand beneath my feet, it was one of those feelings you don’t really appreciate until it happens after a long time.

The last time I was at the beach….that was my date with Jinn and we just played around a bit. Actually, this seemed to be the same beach, which made sense considering I picked it out specifically last time because they prepared it for supernatural races to use without worry of revealing themselves to the mundane.

“I reserved this portion of the beach, so we don’t have to worry about other people coming along.” Yasaka informed us as several umbrellas and chairs were already set up. She made a gesture with her hands and Soma appeared along with a few other Youkai who shot off to the sides and stood as guards a bit further away. She then turned to me and smile. “Just let us handle everything and relax.”

This was fine by me, It felt weird to not have a hand in what was going on I felt….antsy not immediately doing anything.

Might need to talk to Venelana about that when we sit down, I seem to have trouble settling down for periods of time without feeling like this.

I pushed those thoughts to the side and would just do what made me happy right now. Without a second thought, I pulled Jeanne’s long braid.

“Neh!?” She yelped from her stupor falling back as I caught her. “Will!” she puffed up cutely.

“Just to double check…..can you swim?”

“Uh…..no.” She said quietly, looking down.

“Just be careful, alright?” I kissed her forehead again, something I had started doing quite recently and neither of us addressed yet.

“I will.” She smiled brightly but her face quickly turned red because my hand was unrepentedly squeezing her butt. “Ah, I’ll be careful!” She squeaked out.

“Oh stop teasing the poor girl.” Yasaka playfully slapped my shoulder.

I relented, even though I wanted to keep going. Though she was right, didn’t want to turn this all about me, Jeanne wanted to go to the beach too, this was a sort of lifelong desire of hers and I didn’t want to ruin it.

“Aunt Jeanne, we have floaties.” Kunou held up the innertube for Jeanne.

Jeanne wasn’t offered in the slightest. “Thank you so much, I will use it well.”

Everyone else was setting up on their own. Venelana was tending to Millicas, seemingly putting sunscreen on him.

I didn’t realize Devils needed Sunscreen? Maybe it’s a mental thing, like they think they should get a tan or sun burn and their body reacts unconsciously and the act of Sunscreen prevents that for children?

Don’t know why but seeing Venelana in her ‘mothering’ mode was always enjoyable to see.

[You know why.] Ddraig countered.

I ignored the grumpy Dragon.

Salem seemed to claim one of those lounge chairs. She grumbled about going to the ‘beach’ and well, I couldn’t blame her all that much, it most certainly didn’t seem like her ‘thing’. But she looked very content to lay back and close her eyes, peacefully laying there.

Meridia also silently joined her, neither even speaking, but the fact that both of them were fine enough like this, well, it made my heart happy.

It seems like Izzy was only quick to join them as well. The trio of my girls who are more ‘loners’ than the others.

The others just started shuffling around, setting everything up, moving around. They were much more willingly to ‘socialize’ or play around. Not that either side was right or wrong in how they went about this, they all had their own preferences.

I just took the moment to take a deep breath and let the salty air of the ocean hit my face and skin.

“You should go without a shirt more often.” Jinn pushed her head into my shoulder.

I found myself giving her a head rub. “Maybe you should go without a shirt more often.”

“I will~”

“She already runs around nude when possible.” Scáthach snuck up on my other side, smiling warmly. “If practical, she would never wear clothing.”

“It’s nice to be back here. This is where Wilhelm took me on our first date.” Jinn sighed happily.

“Oh? It is a good choice. I missed the shores of Skye from when I was a lass. I recall walking them for hours at sun set, looking out at the sea.” She said wistfully. “Though the first date our man took me on was to fight some Gods.” She said it rather bluntly, perhaps with a hint of humor, but there was not an iota of discontent in her tone. If anything, she looked very similar to Jinn right now.

“Wooo, Beach!” Ruby flew around happily. “Rin what should we do first!?”

“We need to get the others.” She grumbled, snatching Ruby out of the air before she flew too far away.

Right, Artoria did say ‘others’ and I was guessing who that involved now.

I watched as she pulled on the Kaleidoscope with Ruby’s help, creating her own portal and a bunch of familiar faces stepped through.

“My friend!” Thorum heartily shouted, waving to me. It was….odd seeing him in swim trunks considering his ‘origins’ but that quickly passed.

“Thorum!” He didn’t even waste a moment and I found myself in one of his big hugs while he gave me that big goofy smile of his.

“Father, I brought the snacks you asked.” Mordred came through, wearing a bikini very similar to Artoria’s but with a surf board under her arm and holding up a big cooler over her shoulder in the other.

Her master, Kairi followed after her, carrying a bunch of fishing poles and fishing supplies.

“Good choice.” I gave him a thumps up and he shot one back to me.

“Been awhile since I’ve been seen the ocean.” Achilles whistled.

“Spend years sailing and it quickly loses its appeal.” Atalanta said dryly, but still, she looked happy to be there.

“I do not believe I would ever find the waves to lose their charm.” Sasaki hummed, likewise dressed appropriately as the others. He also was carrying quite a bit of fishing gear with him.

I could guess what they were going to get up to for the most part.

It’s so weird seeing all these ‘figures’ from different points in time in things like Bikinis and swim trunks, but at the same time, it really is great to see them all come together.

My family and friends.

I only wish everyone could be here. Gramps and Lucretia, momma Pandora, even the others in time.

Perhaps this is just the first of many ‘beach days’ for the future.

“Oh, Thorum. Meet my Half-Brother, Millicas. Millicas, this is Thorum, my best friend.” I quickly introduced them as Millicas came to join.

“Half Brother?” Thorum’s eyes widened, looking at him. “I did not prepare a gift! What do you like, little one perhaps I have something on hand?”

“You don’t –“

“I like swords.” Milicas smiled.

“Here a proper Nord sword for you!” Thorum retrieved a steel sword, looking as if it was crafted with Skyforge steel at a glance.

“Really!?”

“I’ll take that.” Venelana stepped in, grabbing the sword. “He’s not allowed edged weapons yet. So I’ll just hold onto it for now.”

Thorum coughed awkwardly. “My apologies, Lady Venelana.”

I just laughed, patting Thorum’s shoulder. He meant well, and everyone knew it.

“Did you not invite Hel?”

“Erm, Lady Hel is…busy.” Thorum looked away.

“A shame you won’t be able to see her dressed for the occasion, huh?” I nudged him

“Ah the dress here is strange but…..”

“I could imagine how it looks from your end. But it’s alright to….appreciate the view.” I put my arm on his shoulder, leaning on him as his eyes moved towards Jeanne and Atalanta chatting happily.

“Aye, it is a nice view.” Thorum agreed.

“You ever been to the beach before?”

“I have, but not for purposes such as these. The waters of Skyrim are cold and harsh, it is warm and comfortable here. To relax and….seek enjoyment from lounging on the sands, it is an odd thing but one I find myself enjoying thus far.”

“There’s plenty of things to do too. We’ll play some games and hang out, so feel free to mingle and do whatever you want. It looks like Kairi and Sasaki brought enough Fishing poles if you’re into that.”

Thorum rubbed his chin. “I may indulge.” He grinned.

I pat his shoulder again as he moved towards the guys. It was far form the first time they’ve met, so I didn’t feel the need to introduce them.

“Daddy, make a sand castle with me.” Kunou pulled on my arm.  Millicas was right next to us and while he didn’t say anything, you could tell he wanted to join in. “….you can help too.” Kunou added on begrudgingly.

Moments like that are when I just felt an overwhelming sense of pride as a father. Kunou growing up to be a good person.

“Let’s find a good spot. Don’t want to be too close to the water so it gets swept away. But the loose sand won’t work too well.” I just smiled and let them lead on.

Kunou took out a plastic bucked and started scooping the damp sand out of the ground while Millicas joined her.

“I’ll make a moat.” Millicas said.

“That’s a good idea.” Kunou looked at him. “Make it big so we can have a big castle. Daddy, you get started on the towers.”

“How many towers do you want?” I hummed, getting right in there with them.

“How many towers do you think we should have?” Kunou looked over at Millicas.

“Uncle Ajuka’s castle has four towers.”

“Then let’s do five, it’ll be better that way.” Kunou stated, using the logic that probably made sense to kids their age.

“There’s the first tower.” I finished my masterpiece.

“Daddy, that looks like a fat panda.” Kunou laughed.

“What, it looks perfect!”

“No, it looks like a turtle. There’s even a head here.” Millicas pointed out.

“A two head turtle.” Kunou giggled.

“It’s a perfect tower!” I defended myself.

“Your turtle looks like it’s pooping.” My Half-Brother pointed out.

“It does!” Kunou laughed.

“Alright, let me see you both do a tower then.” I challenged.

They quickly scooped up the sand and started shaping it into….admittedly, good shaped towers. Perhaps they were slightly better than my own…

[You have the artistic sense of a cactus.] Ddriag snorted.

I am an artistic genius!

[Yeah? Remember your painting of Kunou when you visited Soul Society?]

…..shut up.

I’ll do a better one, just watch.

I quickly gathered a pile of sand together and started sculping my new masterpiece.

“Daddy, it’s worse than your other one.” Kunou pouted.

Just….an arrow right through the heart.

They both seemed to ignore me and started ‘fixing’ my works of arts. “I’ll do this one, you do the other one.” Millicas spoke.

“Alright, let’s meet around the next wall and combine them.” Kunou smiled.

I stood up and stepped back and they didn’t even notice me as they were playing.

Well, I would leave them to it. I was happy that Kunou was playing with someone her own age.

Instead, I found Jeanne sitting at the edge of the water, her toes basically dipping not it.

“It’s not going to bite.” I snuck up on her.

“Ah?” She turned her head. “I know, I just….was nervous.” She admitted. “Are you not playing with them anymore”. She tilted her head, looking back towards Millicas and Kunou.

“I was kicked out because I’m too good of a sand castle builder.” I sighed.

“…..I feel like that’s not the real reason.”

“It is, trust me.” I said with a straight face. “Anyways…” I offered my arm. “Care for a swim?”

Jeanne smiled, taking my arm as we ventured forth into the unknown. And by that, I mean we went to knee deep water, very slowly, because Jeanne was enjoying it.

“It’s salter.” She spat out, a wave splashing up and some getting in her mouth.

“Yeah, don’t drink the salt water.” I deadpanned.

“I know that!” She puffed up. “It was an accident.” She spoke, but another wave broke and splashed up into her mouth as she somewhat choked on it and spit it back out. She then looked up, noticing my grin, I would assume, and wordlessly started throwing her small fists at my shoulder.

“You can keep hitting me, but just know that I will spank you.”

“Eep!”

Well, not like I would need an excuse a this point.

That round butt of hers was mine.

“Want to go a bit deeper?” I offered.

“Um…okay, but don’t let me go.” She grabbed hold a bit tighter.

“I promise I won’t let you go.” I reassured her. There were times to tease her, but this was not one of them.

We went deep enough that our feet no longer touched the ground and Jeanne started…well, not panicking but she visible became more anxious.

“Just kick your feet, using your hands to push up.” I gently guided her until she was able to properly keep her head above the water. “Don’t panic if you go under, we’re not too deep and I’m right here.”

“Please don’t let go!” She squeaked as a wave washed over, hitting us. “Bleh…”

She swallowed a mouthful of salt water again….

“Watch out, here comes another.” I lifted her up so she wouldn’t get submerged under a rather large wave even if I got pushed under while lifting her up enough.

Well, I had enough experience to keep my mouth closed, fortunately. Though I couldn’t blame her, people usually learn the hard way when visiting the ocean for the first time.

Jeanne giggled happily as we were pushed around by the waves. “Nooo, don’t let go!” She whined as I sat her back down. “Ah!” We got smacked with another wave again.

“You forgot to bring your floaties.” I teased lightly.

“Neh!” She grabbed hold of me. “Let’s go back to –“

The biggest wave of the day it seemed hit us and knocked us back into the water. It took me a moment to reorientate myself and make sure Jeanne didn’t get disorientated herself, but she was back up laughing just as she was before, flipping her hair back as it had covered her face.

“This is so much fun!”

“…uh huh.” I just nodded absentmindedly, staring at her.

“What?” She blinked, her eyes trailing downwards to see where I was staring dumbfounded out. It seemed to take her a moment to realize what was wrong.

A certain piece of clothing was missing from around her chest.

That is to say, her boobs were fully revealed.

“….today is a good day.”

Jeanne’s eyes widened and she let out a high pitched squeak and quickly covered her chest. “My top! Don’t look, noooo!”

I looked around and found it floating next to use and casually handed it to her.

She whined, taking it back and quickly putting it back on while trying her best to keep herself covered.

“…..did you see?” She asked softly as we made our way back to more shallow waters.

“Do you want me to say I didn’t?” I asked. “Because I will if it makes you feel better.”

She covered her beet read face.  “I didn’t do it on purpose! Please don’t think less of me.”

“Jeanne, I promise I won’t think less of you after seeing your magnificent breasts.” I reassured her with the most genuine tone I could muster.

“I’m happy to hear that but at the same time, I really want to hit you for some reason.” She whispered. “….take responsibility.”

“Okay.”

“Eh?” She seemed to panic. “Why did you answer so quickly!” She ran away.

I don’t think she expected me to agree so readily and wasn’t prepared.

Seeing an embarrassed Jeanne run away was very cute however. It seems she was going to where Mordred was, so it was fine.

I let out a content sigh and walked back towards the chairs where the majority of my girls were sunbathing.

They smiled as I approached and I happily collapsed onto an empty seat between them.

“Why did Jeanne go running away so suddenly?” Izzy asked.

“Boobs.” I closed my eyes and recalled the memory from only moments ago.

“….how are you both so perverted yet also so constrained about it?”

“Constrained?” Salem snorted.

“Well, he does not grab my rear where others are watching.” Izzy noted. “Frankly, he makes sure anything perverted he does is in private or without outsiders watching. Most perverts I’ve met don’t care about that sort of thing.”

“Well of course. I fully admit I’m a pervert, but I am nothing if not a gentleman.” I harumphed.

I liked to think I had enough class to not be crass about appreciating the bodies of my girls. And I would obviously respect any words they said in dissatisfaction about my actions.

“He knows what would happen if he slapped my ass in public.” Scáthach added her thoughts.

“Pain?” I asked.

“Pain.” She nodded. “I made certain to curb his desires early on.”

“She did well to train him.” Meridia chimed in.

“Am I a dog?” I said dryly.

“Well, you certainly hump anything with boobs.” Izzy rolled her eyes.

“Some bold words for someone in humping distance.” I shot her a smile.

“Don’t you dare, my legs are still sore!”

“Oh?” Yasaka perked up. “I knew I smelled a little something the other day~”

“Hours!” Izzy huffed. “with my legs.”

“Master’s stamina is difficult to manage.” Raikou stated.

“You’re telling me.” Izzy huffed again.

“Devils are notorious for it as well, but really, he’s gifted even by that metric.” Venelana added her own thoughts.

“Half-Devil, Dragon, Divine…..other things.” I listed off and realized it was pointless to keep going. “My life has been really weird now that I think about it.”

“If it wasn’t, so many of us from different parts of life wouldn’t have gathered together.” Yasaka smiled. “And Jinn and Artoria is here.”

“Oh, are we getting ready to start?” Jinn asked excitedly.

“Start?” I blinked. “Start what?”

Meridia held up her hand and did something that was so far beyond my peripheral that I only caught the barest minimum of its effects. Like a Bounded Field appeared around us as everything ‘outside’ came to a halt.

Before I could question what was going on, a piece of purple fabric hit my face. I recognized it as the colors Raikou was wearing, and it only took me another second to realize that it was the not top portion of her bikini.

Everyone got cleaned up fairly quickly. They put their clothes back and after a little while, well, there was no evidence left of what happened.

Except for a few limps among other things.

I currently had Salem wrapped up in my arms. She was ‘upset’ but not upset, if that made sense. I mean, she sits on my face, what did she expect to happen?

She was huffing and scowling, but didn’t push me away or say anything overly negative.

Venelana let out a yawn and stretched. “Just what the doctor ordered.”

“I don’t understand how you’re not sore.” Izzy snorted. “My legs….again.” She glared my way.

“Lots and lots of practice.” Venelana hummed.

I glanced over to Artoria who was eating a snack of some sort, I met her gaze and she paused what she was eating, flushed rather cutely and went back to it.

Yup, today was most certainly a good day.

“Student, are you feeling better?” Scáthach asked, a slight limp to her and she rubbed her butt once before she stood up.

“I feel great.” I smiled.

Though I couldn’t say that for everyone.

Raikou was still laying face down on the lounge chair, looking limp and exhausted.

That one was my fault, I just couldn’t help myself.

When she starts telling me to impregnate her, well…….things just happen.

Yasaka, while having been very haggard only a few minutes ago, cleaned herself up rather well. She walked up, kissing me on the cheek. “Remember that we’re here, okay? Don’t let things simmer like they did over the past few days.”

Yeah, things just stacked up at the worse times and hit me all at once.

Made me really realize how much I was juggling right now across many different worlds, and I had no intention of stopping anytime soon.

I just needed….to make sure I stopped every now and then and smelled the proverbial roses and took a break.

Luckily, I had plenty of reasons to take long breaks.

As Meridia removed whatever it is she did, I realized that only moments passed outside. I wasn’t going to question he lengths they went to, I was frankly too exhausted – pleasantly exhausted – but exhausted all the same to truly care at the moment.

I stretched my poor muscles and felt myself utterly at peace.

“Daddy look, we’re almost done!” Kunou called me over.

Their Sand Castle was looking….good, relatively speaking. Without my artistic genius to assist them I suppose it was good enough.

“It looks great.” I smiled. “Why don’t I add a little finishing touch?” I put my hand on the sand nearby, and cast a few spells.

Shaping things through sand like this was far from difficult, making the details mildly moreso. Altering the structure to preserve the form so it wouldn’t collapse onto itself. And just like that the Castle was now manned  by a few dozen ‘knights’.

“Oh wow!” Millicas’s eyes widened.

“Dad…” Kunou looked up at me. “Why didn’t you just do that before?”

“…well, um.” I coughed into my fist. “I didn’t want to spoil your fun.” I quickly found the most convenient excuse as to why I didn’t think to do that earlier. “Hey look, watch this!” I put my hand back on the sand, but adding a bit of lightning this time, reshaping it, changing its structure until I literally pulled a sword form the earth and it maintained a solid and coherent form even without any additional input.

“There’s actually a few ways to control it, the most pronounced and intricate way requires blood and refinement with a weapon. But there are telekenesis magics that allow you to do some tricks.” I jerked my fingers and the ‘sword’ went flying off.

“Son of a bitch!” Achilles roared.

My sword may or may not have stabbed him in the ass.

“I use that though, and I can only make it float.” Millicas pouted.

“Your method is probably wrong. You’re mentally probably trying it like a hand, grabbing at it. What you need to do is wrap around it like a string and move it around like that.”

Millicas looked thoughtful. “So a kite?” He asked.

I blinked in surprise. “That is a very apt comparison.” He was pretty smart. “It’s an okay method to start with but…” I let Mirage come out and it flew around me in a circle. “It won’t be able to move like this. You need a proper weapon and to refine it with your own blood and magic to get it to listen to you like this.”

There was more to it, but he wasn’t quite ready for this I don’t think.

“Thank you, big Brother!” He smiled happily.

“….no problem.” I found myself smiling.

“Daddy, what about me?” Kunou threw herself at me with a pout.

“What does my little fox want?” I held her up.

“I want something too.” She said.

“What – “

“Allow me to help!” Ruby flew over. “I sense the heart of a Magical Girl, do you want to join me and fight evil!?”

“Yes!” Kunou responded before I even had to a chance to rebuke her.

“Ruby, don’t you dare!”

“Too late, Magical Girl Transformation sequence!” She shouted, colliding with Kunou.

There was a bright light and Kunou was then floating in the air…..complete with the same Magical Girl outfit that Rin usually wore when Ruby was being difficult.

…….God dammit Ruby.

I just sighed, throwing my arms up. “I guess it can’t cause too much harm.”

“That counts as agreement, let’s go Magical Girl Kaleido Kunou!” The Wand shouted.

“What am I supposed to do?”

“Spread the joy of love and justice to the world!”

“How?”

“Hmm….that’s a difficult question.”

“Uh…..how about we turn everyone else into Magical Girls?” Kunou offered.

“You….I like the way you think.” Ruby said rather….ominously. “Let’s go spread the love and joy and justice of being a Magical Girl to everyone else!”

Under Ruby’s ushering, Kunou began to zap other people with the same Magic that Ruby uses for her ‘magical girl sequence’.

I don’t think I ever needed to see Thorum in a skirt, but it happened.

“It feels breezy between my legs and I don’t know how to feel about it.”

Poor Thorum.

The shouts of confusion and surprise were fun, but I definitely didn’t need to see Kairi in a skirt either.

A rather….small skirt.

You would think that a Servant’s Magical Resistance would stop the spell, but apparently Ruby wasn’t even hitting ‘them’ but ‘around’ them so it wasn’t touching them, so to speak.

That’s how Mordred ended up in a Magical Girl outfit as well.

Well, Jeanne looked excellent, I don’t know why she was flushed red and trying to pull it down to cover up more. It’s not like it was any more revealing than her booty shorts.

“Dammit Ruby!” Rin Whined.

“Get back here you damn stick, I’m going to break you in half!” Mordred roared.

“Muwhahahah.” She laughed at them, floating higher up.

She then went after my Girls, and I just sat back.

I think it really peaked once Salem’s outfit turned bright pink with the accompanying mini skirt.

Was her massive ass hanging out of it? Most certainly.

Was it also a wonderful sight? Absolutely.

“….is this normal?” Millicas asked.

“Pretty much.” I put a hand on his shoulder.

“Oh.” He was seemingly unphased.

Today was a good day.

@***@

“Alright, you all should know the rules by now, yes?” Yasaka looked around.

“Ball goes over the net, lands in square, get point.” I summarized.

After the… ‘incident’ well, things calmed down.

“Please let me go, I’ll be good!” Ruby whined, struggling while being tied to a post.

Well specifically, it was one of two posts holding up a net, a volleyball net. We made a little area for it and drew out the required squares on each side.

We made teams, well, duos.

“My friend, we shall obtain victory.” Thorum slapped my shoulder.

“We got this.” I grinned.

Of course I teamed up with Thorum.

Mordred was with Kairi, Rin and Artoria were together, Achilles and Atalanta, etc etc.

“I will be the judge, no cheating or you will be disqualified.” Scáthach stated.

“Why are you looking at me?” I called out.

“You know why, student.”

I feel attacked.

“Go Daddy!” Kunou cheered, from atop Yasaka’s lap because she was in ‘time out’ for a little while after…what happened.

Everyone agreed not to speak about it again.

Salem was still flushed when I made eye contact with her, which was strange in of itself because she rarely got embarrassed like that.

“Are you skilled in this game, Wilhelm?” Thorum asked.

“Uh…sure?” I mean, how hard could it be? The rules were pretty straight forward.

“I will follow your lead then.” He nodded.

“You may as well give up now, Schweinorg.” Rin flipped her hair back. “Saber and I are going to crush you.”

“Rin, don’t be rude. Regardless of how true the statement is, we should respect our opponents.”  Artoria said with a straight face.

I raised an eyebrow towards her and she was expressionless.

Artoria was very competitive. “I will serve.” She stated, taking her spot at the back of her field.

Thankfully, the ball was not going to break, courtesy of several people using Magic on it, because it was going to need it.

She thew the ball up and leaped into the air after it, the impact of her slapping it created a shockwave as it barreled to our side of the field.

I had to dive to smack it up, dispersing almost all of its momentum. “Thorum, set me up!” I called out.

Thorum rushed to below it, and he adjusted its trajectory as it fell, pushing it back up into the air for me right infront of the net.

I jumped up to meet it and spun my body, doing an overhead kick with all of my strength and it created  an explosion of sand as it hit their side of the field, shooting past Rin’s head.

“Well done my friend!” Thorum roared.

“Hell yeah!” I shouted back as we chest bumped.

“Disqualified.” Scáthach deadpanned.

“Wait, what?” I threw my arms up in protest. “That was clean!”

“You can’t kick the ball.” She said dryly.

“…..woops.” I blinked.

“My friend, I thought you were experienced?”

“Okay real talk, I’ve never played this game before in my life.” I freely admitted.

“Get off the field, my stupid student.” Scáthach commanded.

I looked at her silently, she met my gaze her face hardening and she raised a threatening eyebrow.

My intrusive thoughts won out.

She fell through a portal that opened up beneath her and hit the water some forty or so feet away into ocean.

They all stared at me.

“I regret nothing.”

“Are those your final words, my student?” Scáthach stood a few feet away from me, dripping wet now. “They are not the worse you could have chosen to write on your tomb stone.”

A foot collided with my butt and I went tumbling through the sand.

It was especially so when a worried Jeanne ran after me, making sure I was alright.

My friends and family, we were a very dysfunctional bunch, but I wouldn’t trade them for anything.

I just relaxed and closed my eyes as I managed to get my head in Jeanne’s lap.

Today was a good day and I was happy.

Chunky boy chapter took much longer than expected to finish, just about 10k words. Granted, a good portion of it was a lewd, but even still.

Back to the swing of things next chapter, Odin is going to pay The Greeks a little visit~.

I don’t have an ETA on the next part of the omake, but I’ll start planning it out.
