Chapter 42: Meeting Gabriel a fellow animal lover.(Edited)
When Kurayami and the girls all woke up they got dressed. Kurayami put on his trench and he looked over. Lavinia and Natsume were once again in his bed. Natsume looked away as this was the 30th day that she woke up here.
"You know Natsume. If you two are going to keep sleepwalking in here you might as well sleep here. I really don't mind at all."
Lavinia nodded.
"Well, I will take you on that offer. You do like my boobs right?"
He nodded without shame which made Esdeath, Raynare, and Akeno who were still growing their's pout. Unlike Kuroka, Natsume, and Lavinia who had large breasts they were still young.
Natsume blushed.
"Fine. I guess I will."
Esdeath yawned as she just woke up.
"I don't mind as even with all of us here, this big bed has more than enough space for us all. Anyway, where is Griffon?"
Natsume got dressed and was not so ashamed as he was looking right at her. At the same time, she did not mind his gaze much.
"He goes out flying at night to stretch his wings."
Once they were all dressed they all went to check on Shuri. She was on the couch where she was taking it easy with little Dante. She smiled while they spent some time with her. Shuri looked at her infant son and asked about her niece.
"Do you think Suzako will be allowed to come here? She would love to meet Dante."
Kurayami had a thoughtful look on his face.
"After what Azrael did I think she will be busy, but I don't see why not. She will make a good clan leader and wants to allow you to safely go back to the clan. Many blame you and Baraqiel for Azrael's massacre, but they are fools who Suzako will probably purger herself."
Shuri sighed.
"Why can't people stop being greedy? I had no intention of affecting the clan if they left my family alone.
Kurayami shook his head.
"Mother. True peace will never happen. As long as we have free will everyone will have greed in their heart. We will see you later mom, we need to go."
Shuri hugged both her children and after that they all went to Grigori at the main Gym. Ares was eating a big lamb leg as he went out today to eat. Kurayami looked over.
"Hey, Ares. Pass me your sword please."
Ares just threw it over.
"Here, only because you asked nicely."
When Kurayami took it in his hands it returned to its sword form and he swung it around. He ignited it in golden flames and nodded. He handed it back making Ares shrug. Kurayami just wanted to check out the weapon as it was his to use for a time.
Ares took it and Annabeth was sitting with them. She looked at Kurayami and wanted to ask something as she was fidgeting. He looked over at her as she was too obvious.
"Just say what you want."
She sighed.
"How do you know?"
Kuroka hugged him from behind as he was sitting down her head peaked over his shoulder.
"I taught them senjutsu and he can read your aura. Also, you're fidgeting. Nya"
Annabeth nodded and made her request.
"Can you take me back to the camp? I want to see if I can see my mother."
Kurayami couldn't help her today.
"We will be busy today, but maybe tomorrow. We still have old sack of bone helmets."
Annebeth laughed as they had no fear of Hades even though he was in the top ten strongest.
"Well, I will be fighting Tobio tomorrow. You said he was your cousin right?"
Both Himejima twins nodded. Akeno brought up a point for her to be careful with.
"He is strong so you will have to be careful. Azazel made it mandatory for the demigods to learn about sacred gears and he thinks he can give you artificial ones."
Clarise drank a water bottle and came over.
"How strong can he be? I beat him badly just last month."
Esdeath rolled her eyes at Clarise lack of information.
"Well let's just say that he can destroy mountains in a few attacks."
Clarise scoffed.
"As if."
Ares flicked her on the head and she held her head. That felt more like a punch than a flick.
"Dumb girl. Draig sealed or not is a monster not to be underestimated. He was also my teacher for a time so you will show him respect."
Clarise held her head as she swore her brain hit her skull.
"What can the Boosted Gear do?"
Ares smirked.
"Double the user's power every 10 seconds, but if the brat can use a Balance Breaker and as long as he has stamina he will double his power as many times as needed. So he already is stronger than you."
Kurayami suddenly remembered something.
"Hey Ares, didn't you go out a few months ago?"
Ares scratched his head and snapped his fingers.
"Oh yeah. I had a blast with several Japanese nympho chicks and a few fallen girls."
Raynare facepalmed.
"Let me guess, no protection?"
Ares smiled.
"A god won't use those, besides didn't you guys ask that of me."
Kurayami nodded.
"So how many kids did you leave fatherless?"
Ares started counting on his fingers.
"I slept with about 5 Japanese girls in an orgy, 3 fallen girls so prepare for 8 new of my brats."
The demigods, Kouki, Koga, and Shigune all looked at Ares with a big disgust. He was their coach, but he was still a god. It meant his view on sex was much different and Kurayami did not doubt he might have had a few flings with men in his free time.
That was just how free gods were with sex. Esdeath looked at him in disgust.
"You better go and get those kids. As for the fallen they will be added here, but stop having kids or else."
"Or else what."
Kurayami looked at Ares and offered some advice.
"As strong as she is getting she might just cut off your cock and balls. As men, we do not want to lose them."
Ares shuddered at the thought and covered his privates, but that just made Esdeath smile.
"Please, have some class. There are plenty of other ways to torture someone that does not involve the testicles."
Akeno smiled with a dreamy look on her face.
"I know. There is the flaying, the eyes. the anus and the ears."
Raynare shook her head. "Death magic is quite good at torture. You know it effects the soul profoundly.
Kurayami smiled and added to the fire.
"Wouldn't blades that cut the soul be better. I could cut parts of the soul like sashimi slowly."
Annabeth shivered at their dark talk.
"Your joking right?"
They all smiled and walked away. As they walked away they heard her voice call out.
"HEY. That was a joke right?"
They all went with Azazel and Azrael who were ready to go. Azazel even dressed in a suit and Azrael as well. Kuroka was confused at how nicely dressed they were.
"Why are you two in suits, Nya?"
When Azazel saw them he grimaced.
"Why are you girls not dressed and you not in a suit? We are going to a very high-class hotel."
Kurayami was confused.
"What?"
Azazel nodded.
"They own a very high-class restaurant and we were invited to go there for our cease-fire, so you girls need a dress and you a suit. MILTELT."
A blond girl ran in a maid outfit and bowed."
"How may I help?"
"Take the girls to get dressed. We will help Kurayami get dressed."
Kurayami frowned.
"I swear if you make me look like a penguin I will steal Fafnir and shove a burning sword up your ass."
"Oh please, who am I? I have had millennias of time to figure out how to get women impressed with me. Just count on me and I will have women fawning over you. More than they already are."
Kurayami just rolled his eyes at his foolish friend.
"Azazel the brat and an unmarried single idiot. I have never seen you with these so-called harems of yours. Any evidence you are not just all talk."
Azrael smirked and he patted Kurayami on the back.
"Ignore the idiot. I will dress you like the suit I wore when I met my wife."
Kurayami had a thoughtful look on his face.
"Hey. You never talk about her. When did you meet her?"
Azrael smiled as he reminiced about simpler times.
"About a hundred years ago. I went to Japan to just take some time off and I saw her about to kill herself. I saved her and things led to one thing and my son Andres was born."
Azrael opened the locket on his neck to show him and his wife. She was a gorgeous Japanese woman next to Azrael holding a small boy about 3 years old.
"Back then pictures were rare, but I got one. I left when Andres became an adult and my wife died. It was why I invented the fallen angel conversion spell later in my life. I wanted her back, but you know how long-term resurrection works. I know she has reincarnated and I will never get her back."
Kuroka frowned as they wanted her to wear a dress instead of her Kimono.
"I don't want to wear a dress. Hubby, don't I look good like this?"
Kurayami looked back at her and nodded.
"You look beautiful as you are."
Kuroka smiled.
"See."
Azazel shook it off.
"Fine as for the rest of you, go get dressed, literally."
Esdeath, Akeno, and Raynare were dragged off by Miltelt to go get some dressed. Azrael helped Kurayamu pick out a suit and he ended up wearing a suit like John Wick. When the girls all came back they all wore suits that matched their color scheme. Raynare wore a black and purple dress, Esdeath wore a light blue dress while Akeno wore a completely black dress.
Kurayami nodded.
"You all look great however do we really need to dress up. We didn't last time."
Azazel sat down and explained.
"Last time it was unexpected so we didn't. Now we are meeting up in an official meeting and we need to look sharp. Kuroka looks fine as she is, so there's that."
They all accepted and Azrael spread his hands and a huge black teleport circle opened up and they all appeared in the human world at the top of this restaurant.
When the waiter saw them he bowed.
"May I assume you are sir, Azazel, sir Azreal and sir Kurayami. We did not expect the girls to come here."
Azazel raised his hand.
"Yeah, that is us. We brought them as a sign of goodwill. They are Esdeath, Akeno, Raynare, and Kuroka, the devil."
The waiter nodded and motioned with his hand mid bow.
"That is fine. Please come this way."
Azrael nodded at the service.
"Wish we did this back home."
The girls nodded and Esdeath frowned and was trying to keep her balance in high heels.
"Whoever invented high heels can choke on my rapier."
Azazel looked down and saw that they were all struggling with high heels.
"You ever thought to fight with them. I hear some female fighters see it as a challenge. They also use them to stab people with them."
Esdeath looked down at her high heels and thought about it
"Stab you say. That seems fun."
Raynare shook her head in disagreement with that.
"I don't see the point of this. I see the payout as not as good for the return."
They all entered the dining room that was empty.
The waiter returned and bowed.
"May I take your orders. We have all kinds of foods from the world as this place is used by heaven as a meeting place."
Kurayami decided to ask.
"Do you have Carolina reaper extract hot wings?"
The waiter nodded.
"Of course. Some of our guests are lovers of extreme spice. The spice is not all, they are made of the finest magic fowl with over 100 magical herbs and spices."
He nodded at the idea.
"Bring me 30."
The waiter took it down. Akeno was next.
"Some seafood stew."
The waiter added on how it came from the depths of a magical sea and used maic water.
Esdeath smiled.
"Some bear shoulder roast."
That came from a bear called an Asura bear and they were known for being hard to cook, but a master could make the best out of them.
Azazel thought about it.
"Some venison."
Azrael smiled.
"How about some medium-rare wagyu a5 steaks."
The waiter grinned.
"That is good taste. Just like the wings all of them have been raised with the finest of magical means."
Raynare nodded.
"Some lobster."
Kuroka nodded.
"Some grouper. I hear it is quite good."
Once they all ordered they just waited and they only waited a few minutes before their meals were done. Azazel smiled.
"Welcome to one of the best restaurants of our three factions. It's neutral ground. Plus, all the meals here sound normal but they are actually fully made and cooked with magic in the process. Prepare to have your tastebuds experience heaven."
The waiter was a human and nodded.
"Sir Michael and Miss Gabriel are here."
From the entrance entered a sharp-dressed blond man and a blond woman. The woman was exceptionally gorgeous and yet all he could notice were the tears in her eyes as she hugged the small cub in her arms. Michael and Gabriel sat down at their table and ordered some food.
"Azazel, I see you are doing well. Azrael you look hearty and happy."
Both fallen nodded. Azrael while eating smiled and each bite would release the magic in the food which gave him small power gain. It was like a few drops to a bucket, but it was still an increase. The girls and Kurayami were just as shocked food could do that.
"We are better, but all we want is to avoid a war. It is why we brought some of our young talents as a sign of goodwill."
Michael looked at the girls and especially Kurayami and the sword at his waist.
"I see Galatine is treating you well. We would like it back though, it was ours, to begin with."
Kurayami drew it from his waist and nodded.
"It is a good sword, but I believe returning will be better."
Kurayami passed the sword over and Michale noticed the holy aura of the sword has gotten stronger, but he also felt a cursed feeling in it. He looked at Kurayami's shadow and saw a pair of red eyes looking at him. He smiled and looked at his sister.
"This is Gabriel and the pet you wanted. She has three more, but wants all of them."
She wiped the tears while hugging the little cub who was trying to get out of her arms.
"How do I know he won't abuse it?"
Kurayami frowned and held his hand to his chest.
"I would never do such a thing. I love beasts and it is the reason why I wanted to get one from you guys and I see this one is quite the interesting one."
Gabriel wiped her tears.
"His name is Castiel."
Kurayami stood up and walked up to her. She handed him the cub and he took it in his arms. The small cub licked his face and as expected had a rough tongue. Lions and tigers have rough tongues to scrape meat off the bone, but he was fine.
"Aren't you just precious? Can he use light and holy power?"
Gabriel smiled and nodded.
"Being born in heaven made him unique. Sadly his own mother will reject him soon, but he was my favorite."
Kurayami gave her the option to visit the cub when she wanted.
"Well you can visit him when you want"
She smiled and nodded.
"I will."
Michael frowned.
"No, I refu-"
She glared at him and he shut up.
"As I was saying I want peace. If we do we can talk about our love of animals."
He nodded.
"I would like that. You know I have a contract with a dragon, a Quinlin, a Nemean Lion, and a divine horse from Poseidon."
Her eyes sparkled and she held his hand.
"Can I see them?" Kurayami looked at the waiter who bowed.
"Please. We do not mind, as log as they do not cause trouble, sir."
He nodded. "I can only summon a few as my dragon is far too big."
He brought out Zhang, Aurora, and Blitz who all took to her immediately. He and Gabriel just started to ramble on animals and what kinds they want. Azazel, Azrael, and the girls looked back and forth between them as it was no end.
Michale coughed to get their attention.
"Well you two get along and I think we can get this cease-fire on the way."
Kurayami took back his pets and sat down to eat. They all ate their food and Azazel smiled.
"Hey, why don't I marry Gabriel? We can have peace that wa- ''
Azrael and Kurayami punched him on either side of his head and knocked him out. Michael for the first time has a big maniacal smile. His halo started to darken and he reigned that it back.
"Excuse me. Seeing him being punished was too good I felt that I would fall."
His kind smile was back to normal and Azazel was completely out cold. Raynare chuckled.
"Grandpa, is it such a good idea to knock out Azazel. He is our leader after all."
Azrael scoffed.
"The brat will learn with a bit of pain. Michael, I would like to introduce to you my granddaughter Raynare."
Michael and Gabriel looked at her and the small dog tag that said her name.
Michael was intrigued. "
She is marrying Kurayami?"
Azrael nodded.
"The girls here will all marry him. I heard Azazel forced marriage to Kurayami with a devil princess. Kurayami plans to break it off if."
Kurayami nodded.
"I never agreed to it and this asshole here did it without my permission. Well, it was nice to know you Michael, Gabriel."
Gabriel hugged him and Castiel.
"I will visit to see his growth. I can't wait for him to get big and strong."
Kurayami nodded.
"Come whenever you want."
They dragged Azazel back and Michael and Gabriel returned to heaven. The waiter bowed and Azrael paid the bill and they returned to Grigori with an unconscious Azazel. He really needed to be careful with what he said or this happens.
