My Upgrades Are Invincible

Chapter 93

I soon made my way back to Tamayo's mansion and it was interesting to note how when I got close to the building that the demonic tracking compass kept cycling between turning between a couple different directions, so I guessed Nerine was likely in another room or something while Tamayo and Yushiro were together.

I then pulled the doorbell rope, and I could hear a bell within the house ringing and then I could hear Nerine faintly call out. "I got it!"

It didnt take more than a few seconds for Nerine to reach the door and I had to blink in surprise as Nerine had already physically changed by a decent amount as she had lost her wine-red eyes and her eyes turned a darker purple or blue shade which complemented her light purple hair. As well as her body seemed to have filled out a bit more compared to her previous almost skeletal frame.

"Ah welcome back master." She said shyly and lowered her head refusing to meet my eyes.

Her words knocked me out of the confusion at her different appearance and I noticed she was wearing a conservative maid outfit at least to my western sensibilities as it was a black and white dress, but it was pretty frilly, and she also wasn't wearing a bonnet or anything else on her head so I didnt instantly jump to that thought.

"Did Tamayo give you that dress and more importantly why did you call me that?" I asked confused as Nerine was still standing directly in front of the door blocking the way.

Nerine didnt respond for a minute as she stared down at the ground until she took a deep breath to steel her nerves and she stared me straight in the eye's as she began to speak. "Jake. I don't know what to feel about you... I truly hate you for killing my mother and even if she used me as bait to attract humans for her to eat, I still loved her, and you took her from me." She swallowed and took another deep breath as she stepped forward and grasped my shirt as I had put away my armor as a sign of good faith to Tamayo.

"Jake what do you want from me? Did you want to bed me like those men who my mother ate, wanted too?" She asked desperately trying to find out what I wanted from her, and I could only sigh at how the times here were different as here in Japan during these years having girls just hitting their teens getting married and such weren't uncommon.

I pulled Nerine's head against my chest to start petting her head as I heard her sniffle. "Nerine, I won't ever touch you if you don't want me too. I honestly just wanted to provide you a better life."

Nerine just nodded and I knew that her mother would be a 'very' sore point in whatever relationship we built whether it be father figure, teacher, or whatever this turned into. But I was already feeling like she was highly unlikely to try to attack me when my back was turned.

"I want to call you master because you are the strongest person I have met, and you were willing to temper that strength with mercy unlike Doma would play with his acolytes." She stepped back and stared at me with her watery eyes. "Jake, will you promise to lead me gently..."

This girl is broken... I underestimated the effect of growing up in Doma's cult not to mention it is perfectly possible that Doma himself could be her father with how the cult was basically a giant harem for him and having Doma as a father would certainly give a child the most warped childhood possible not to mention watching the women in the cult being devoured whenever Doma got hungry.

I can see she wants me to control her life like her mother did and even Doma did indirectly so it would be for the best to not just give her some speech about making your own life choices or whatever nonsense otherwise she may just breakdown further.

I patted Nerine on her head and nodded. "Very well Nerine you better work hard though." I had zero fucking clue what to say... I just did the tried-and-true method of dealing with freaking out girls in my new life and just picked up Nerine in a princess carry so I could finally get inside to give the blood samples to Tamayo.

"Ah you smell good..." Nerine muttered as she buried her face into my shirt and I could only mentally shrug at how my Pure Body smell got rid of my body odor and replaced it with a more natural forest smell at least to me, but according to Freya with her love domain told me that the smell would be different for each person smelling me but would always follow a theme of purity so I could smell like flowers to one or freshly mowed grass but I would never smell like cookies or something like that sadly.

"So, what did Tamayo did to you." I said kinda bumping her around to get her attention and she blushed and didnt move her face from my chest.

"Lady Tamayo gave me a bunch of drugs she said would destroy the demon blood within me and then she put a lot of needles into me and had six bags of human blood emptied within me to convert as much of my demon blood back to human but without the demon blood of an upper moon which you went to get, I will go back to being a full demon in a few days." Nerine explained.

After flashing out my compass out for a quick check, I went towards the room with the demonic signature and knocked on the door. "Please come in Jake." Lady Tamayo called out gently.

I went inside the sitting room and sat on the other side of the table across from Tamayo but unfortunately Nerine wouldn't allow me to sit away from her and when I put her beside me, she just faceplanted into my lap. Before I could move her out of the way or anything Tamayo spoke. "Relax Jake she is simply highly emotional now as her human and demon hormone's as basically at war within one another, so she is going to be sleeping heavily till one side triumphs over the other."

I plucked out the blood-filled syringes and gently laid them upon the table and I could see both demons face twitch in surprise. "I have blood samples from the upper moon six demon's Gyutaro and Daki." I then made sure to explain how they were different people and how they were demons made by Doma.

"Good... With this I will be able to turn Nerine back human as well as help me in my own projects."

Hmm I only have like a couple days till Shinobu is expected to be in Kyoto so I should probably get there sooner rather than later in case she gets their early. Not to mention I want to find the demon Nakime as her reality marble would be a powerful upgrade to one of my pieces of gear.

"Well in that case I need to be getting to Kyoto as I have business there." I told Tamayo and she nodded while giving a smug smile at me trying to untangle Nerine's arms from around me so I could leave.
