Chapter 95: Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon? by Harem-Fan
"What? Kuisha told me to come, nya."
As I walked into the lobby of Azazel's condo high-rise, I saw Kuroka dressed in human clothing with sunglasses on, hiding her Nekoshou features.
No, I am not stunned because she is here, but seeing her out of her kimono is really... different.
She is wearing a cream colored shirt, dark colored short skirt office lady suit, and her high heels gave her another charm.
Gulp? I swallowed and forgot all about Akeno's father. Kuroka, seeing my eyes in shock, said to Lavinia.
"Sister Kuisha said I need to be seen at Ray's side more, and I had nothing to do, so ~Nya..."
Lavinia giggling at my stupid face, pointed to my open right arm and said.
"Ku-chan, his right arm is lonely, fufu."
So with my mind in sensual-bliss of my arms being pulled into both sets of massive valleys, we entered the elevator. I swear to Satan, Kuroka was purring in my ear!
-
Azazel, not putting on a front, answers his door casually in a black men's kimono. He said while holding a tumbler of sake.
"Hello Ray Gremory of Kuoh Town Territory, the Governor General Azazel greets you, bla bla bla, just come in kid, haha!"
I love how he starts off pretending to be serious, and throws it all out the door. I said to him kindly.
"Thanks, and it is good to see you again, even officially. This is my new Gremory member, Kuroka Toujou, Shirone's older sister."
Azazel, who already knows about Kuroka due to the Super Devil Project, and Lavinia, says with a lazy grin.
"More beautiful women around, makes drinking better! Come in everyone and let's talk."
So as my group of three enter I see... Vali and Baraqiel, sitting in two armchairs, looking like gloomy guys who did not want to show.
Lavinia pulled us to the couch, perfect for three people, and Azazel sat in another armchair. Lavinia broke the ice first.
"Va-kun, I thought you said you did not want to be involved with the Peace Talks?"
Vali Lucifer, who wanted to stay low-key, only turned his head away, to not see her sapphire eyes dig into his soul, and he said.
"With so many bigwigs, there should be strong opponents to fight. Plus it is a historical event."
I say half jokingly.
"Hey, please don't make me a challenge target, your Divide ability would really send me packing. Even as a Super Devil, I cannot beat you without a sneak attack, or Lavinia. So definitely find a stronger foe, alright?"
Vali gave me a disdainful look at pointing out the obvious.
What? Without the Boosted Gear, if I cannot kill Vali in under a minute, I would be as weak as a mouse.
I do not have any cheats that can stop Vali's Divine Dividing, a top 13 Longinus that can literally kill Gods!.
And when he goes into Juggernaut Drive, he can endlessly use his Divide ability, with no cool-down. And his Half Dimension lets him do it at range. Finally he moves like a Knight in the air, so my attacks cannot catch him while his wings are active.
So Vali only snorts at my cowardliness. But Azazel saw my expression and asked.
"Kid, I heard that Heaven gave you the Ascalon, and Sona Sitri traded the Holy Devil Sword from her Knight to Heaven and Grigori. I am not sure what you might want from us? Anything you want?"
I surprised everyone as I bolted up, even escaping from Kuroka's warm arm hug. I said, like I was asking for a Red Rider BeeBee Gun for Christmas...
"My Pawn Genshirou Saji, has the bulk of Vritra's soul in his Sacred Gear! So if you can install Vritra's Sacred Gears: Absorption Line, Blaze Black Flare, Delete Field, and Shadow Prison Promotion together, then Vritra will come back to fight!"
Azazel had his Sacred Gear Collector itch scratched, and he said with intrigue.
"Your Pawn is more likely to die than take in all of those Sacred Gears at one time. Do you really want to kill your Pawn? I thought the Gremory loved their Servants?"
I look into his eyes and say seriously.
"My Peerage has both the training, talent, and courage for this. I can assure you that Saji will not only survive it, but I have groomed him for it. Vritra will be a blessing, and not a Curse! Saji is also willing.... And if you are worried about him Rampaging... His girlfriend can stop him."
Azazel knows I got my information from somewhere about the Equipment of Vritra, but he thought of the other Sacred Gear user close to Saji, and while rubbing his chin blurted.
"Asia Argento is a Natural Born, Dragon Tamer?! If I remember, her Familiar is a Sprite Dragon, right?"
I gave him a thumbs-up, and said.
"Not only is Asia one, but her control of her Twilight Healing is progressing well. She has my Mutated Pawn Piece, so when she is promoted to Queen, she is very strong."
Azazel and I are going back and forth, like a pair of geeks at a comic convention, and he nods while mumbling.
"I see, because her Sacred Gear is better at healing magic, making her a Bishop would be less effective, so a Pawn with promotion makes her survive-ability rise, not too bad. Well about Saji."
He leaned back and said.
"Sure, no problem, I will kidnap, I meant pick him up after we talk. What about some Artificial Sacred Gears for your former Humans?"
(Ray only watched the anime a long time ago, and he knows nothing of the canon Sona peerage having them installed.)
"Irina and Xenovia are both Holy Sword wielders, so they might not need them. My Neko and Kuisha cannot use it. Tsubaki already has it, and Akeno is focusing on developing her Fallen Angel abilities more, so no, no one else."
As Baraqiel was about to ask, Azazel brought up.
"What about that powerhouse Pawn you have?"
I wave both hands frantically and say directly.
"No, absolutely not! Mil-tan has some unknown power in his body that destroys Magic and Supernatural Abilities in general, and I am afraid putting a Sacred Gear in him would be more dangerous for him and others than helpful. Hell, he can even punch apart my normal Power of Destruction blasts without losing his fists!"
"Ah? I see, Mil-tan is a bug in the system of Heaven. He is like an Anti-Magic Human. In history there were a handful of these Legendary Humans. They tend to be known in history as Berserkers and Barbarians. You might be right... rejection is a possibility. Well, at least the Evil Pieces still worked on him, to bypass death. But if he fails to link with the Sacred Gear, his soul would collapse."
And finding a crack in nerd talk, Baraqiel slipped in.
"Ray Gremory, I am Baraqiel, Akeno's father..."
I nod to him and say, as Lavinia handed me a glass of soda to herself, Kuroka, and I.
"Yeah, I know all about it, and I am sorry. I have tried for years to mend things, but only time can do it. I realized, the more I tried to fix her, I made her sad. So instead, I focused on her developing as a Fallen Angel, to help her accept you indirectly. But for now, my Akeno will just have to have Daddy Issues, and you... Just need to keep being patient for a bit longer. Don't rush it, and do not act like a dad the moment you see her."
I sip my drink and scold, I mean instructed my father-in-law.
"Furthermore, just know deep down, Akeno knows you are not to blame for her mothers death. But... She needs you to take the blame for now. Be the bad dad, and she will forgive you one day, I promise. Oh, and lastly, when she tells you I am her man, just accept it, or you will be blacklisted from our wedding."
Baraqiel's face is dark with his eyebrows jumping, and Azazel is hiding his smile. Vali looks at me like the guy who throws rocks at lions for fun, and Lavinia says.
"Red, if you are so good at advice for relationships, why did you take so long to confess to me?"
Now I feel so ashamed of myself. How can I tell them it is anime cheats?!
Baraqiel seeing Lavinia, who he knows well, smashed my pride, he said.
"Azazel told me you hunted down Akeno for a long time in Japan, why?"
I looked at him seriously and said,
"My Devil Bloodline told me she was the one. When I met her, I became so angry for her that I almost went berserk. I just knew I wanted to love and protect her for the rest of my life, just like you and her mother, right? Akeno and Shuri are so much alike, so I think you and I can agree... Your daughter is incredible."
I just open my palms with a helpless look. I have her mind, body, soul, as well as made her a woman, so the rice is cooked.
"Baraqiel old friend, Ray, is a good man for Akeno. I have always watched the two of them. So for now, just take his Vritra Servant and begin to implant him. you will see Akeno on Saturday. And Ray, thanks for everything you have done so far, for a young brat, you are fun to observe, haha."
I pulled out documents out of my schoolbag, and handed them to Azazel then told him.
"Here are all of the hotel, security, and identification documents for your Fallen Angel members, to attend the Summit and stay in Kuoh."
Kuroka looked at me and said,
"I can confirm in front of the White Dragon, that your Neko Aura is as strong or stronger than Vali's Dragon Aura in terms of Life Power."
Kuroka is mentioning this, because I had asked her about the difference for mating, but Vali thinks she is comparing our actual battle strength, so he asked curiously.
"Dragon Aura I understand, but Cat Aura? Is that a thing?"
I feel a little embarrassed, when both Lavinia and Kuroka nod at the same time, so I explained.
"Dragon Aura is naturally the power of Dragons, for attacks, drawing foes to fight, and attracting members of the opposite sex to your side. Well, it seems I have a feline version of Dragon Aura. So all Neko and Felines are drawn to me, and female Neko finds me to be a strong mate. But do not misunderstand, Dragons and Cats are on totally different scales, haha."
Then to my and everyone's shock, Albion spoke.
[Vali, he is a bit incorrect. Many Pantheons have and worship the Felines as much as Dragons are worshiped. Even Shiva has a connection with Cat Aura. He is considered a God of large cats. In China's Mythology, the Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon are a common and true myth. So young Gremory Devil, do not look down on the Aura of Cats.]
Vali and I are both stunned... Does that even work? Are the two comparable? So I asked.
"Albion, does that mean I can use Cat Aura with my powers, like those with Dragon Aura?"
[That is correct, although Dragons of the Heavenly and God-class are still very strong, compared to normal sources of Cat Aura.]
Vali, hearing that, looked at me again, with a smile and burning eyes, he told me.
"You heard it from Albion, you can improve yourself, just embrace your Neko Aura, and get stronger for me. Without Ddraig, I need strong partners to hone myself."
Sniff ~Lick~! Kuroka, hearing Albion, pulled my face to hers, and she inhaled my scent from my face, then licked it, while nodding her head she suggested.
"Ray, the Heavenly Dragon must be right. I think you can merge your Demonic Power and Neko Aura to make it stronger, like users of Dragon Sacred Gears do. I can teach you to blend, because I have done that with Magic, Senjutsu, Touki, and Demonic Power. So Ray, let teacher Kuroka guide you in private, nya~!"
I was a bit surprised because I did not expect Albion to screw me like this.
Then my lovely Human lover said another thing to seal my fate as Vali's rival...
"Va-kun, this is great! You, the White One, have found a replacement Red One, fufu! Now Va-kun won't be lonely!"
Yeah, Albion to make Vali happy, gave me a cheat I would have never known on my own, and Albion also screwed me because Kuroka was very thorough in teaching me... About Everything!
From that day on, I was harassed by this cheating rival of Va-kun. Thankfully my future daughter gets revenge for her father, sigh...
And the meeting with Grigori painfully finished...
