The World's most Overpowered Side-Character

"You're really able to go to and from wherever you want as you please now?" Eris relaxed in her seat again and crossed her legs, observing with an attentive eye how close the four of them had become in what was supposed to be only a few days for them.

"Yes, I can perceive it; the other universes, like I just know where to look, and how to get there without having to think too dire toy about it." Sol answered.

"That's pretty fortunate, it's a really broken skill you've acquired there."

"It is not as simple as a skill." Arla corrected her. "He is simply able to, without effort."

"Ah, so not even a skill huh, it's something as simple as breathing to you..."

"Speaking of travelling, is she gone?" Sol leaned further forward and locked his hands around Ikaris, resting his forehead on her back and sighing with his eyes closed.

"Usami left after the first year, when the new system was born."

"New system?" Arla perked up. "Is that why you've been so quiet?" She looked at Sol, and their system appeared sitting on the balcony rails with her legs crossed and a clear expression of discomfort on her face.

"W-what the-"

"I simply did not feel like contacting this new system after they tooky place, that too after regarding me; the original as an imposter." She explained, and Sol who had yet to raise his head scoffed.

"Eris." He called to her, and she nodded and perked up again.

"Yes, Usami left the first chance she got, I wish there was a way to know how she was doing, especially now that you've explained something like time dilation, it makes me more worried about her." Eris slumped and rubbed her forehead.

After you four vanished in that cavern, Usami returned to us shattered, maybe she expected that you would go back with her, but her anxiety only increased from there, she completely disassociated from everyone here and isolated herself with work, she stopped smiling, she stopped talking." Eris sighed.

"The queen did not even wait a day, she sacrificed herself as soon as the system was online again and sent her back, I was tempted to go as well, after all that was our only window with the princess not being taught the secrets of that magic, but by then I had already met my future husband, my life had gone in the opposite direction of hers, and I think it troubled her a lot."

"That's, sad." Dina leaned on Sol's side. "But I had already decided by that point that I'd ask master to tag along, wherever he went, so if he had decided to stay, so would I." She sighed against him and then yawned.

"Ah, we have been talking the entire day without even taking any pause, you lot must be exhausted after all you've gone through." Eris abruptly stood. "Your rooms have already been prepared, and well I shouldn't be staying up this late anyway. "She lowered her head at them, startling them as she paid her respects.

"Sol, Ikaris, Dina, Arla." Eris raised her head and then wiped her eyes with a smile.

"I'm glad you're all alive, truly, and I am eternally thankful for what you've done, there's always been an afterthought that demons would return in your absence, but you went ahead and destroyed them all, you saved everyone, and avenged those of us who fell by their hands, if they ended up anyplace better, I know you have their gratitude for what you've done."

"It was a personal grudge and a promise made to those same fallen comrades, more from my time than yours." Sol looked over Ikaris's shoulder again. "But yeah, you never need to worry about them again, as it stands only one exists, and she's never escaping her fate." His frown returned for a moment, but Arla's arm on his leg calmed him again.

"Sara?" Eris called, and the maid in question, unchanged after five years walked from the shadows and lowered her head, seeing Sara Sol's eyes slightly widened, everyone else seemed different, but she had not changed or seemed to age at all in the five years of his absence.

"I'm going in, please take care of them." She smiled and gave them a bow again before leaving urgently at the sound of her child.

"Yes, Lady Eris." Sara raised her head and then looked around at the four who stared at her and smiled at them. "Welcome back, everyone." She approached calmly and slowly took a knee before Ikaris raising her hands above her head while Ikaris took her hands with a confused glance behind her.

"Have you been listening all this time?" Dina asked, realising that she could not sense Sara's presence at all.

"Naturally, no, Lady Levina, I would never disrespect any of you in this way, especially Lord Vestic." Sara stood after recieving Ikaris's blessings. "I have been brewing a bath for you but..." The observant maid's eyes scanned them all.

"It seems a bath for two would be inconvenient now hm?" She teasingly looked at Dina and Arla resulting in the two of them blushing and partially hiding their faces.

"Sir, you have been quite proactive the last five years eh?" Sara nudged Sol's arm with a cheeky grin while he and Ikaris stood.

"Wow you haven't changed at all." Sol deadpanned at her, and she burst I to light laughter. "It's okay, a small bath can suffice.

"Please follow me," Sara gestured and began walking. "Regarding me not changing... Sara had a bounce in her steps as she walked. "That is because I have been waiting my lord." She spoke, without restraint.

"For me?" Sol asked.

"Precisely, I swore my life to you, and my servitude for as long as I live, I swore from engaging in any kind of affairs that would change my priorities and interests, I am completely loyal only to you."

"That's absurd." Sol raised his brow as they turned the first corner. "What if we never came back, what if... What if I and everyone else had died on the other side?"

"I would be none the wiser, I would have waited my entire life and died waiting for your return." She answered without batting an eye.

"That is beyond loyalty though." Arla countered from behind.

"True, all my adoration lies within Lord Vestic, in warring times I was able to smile, I who had lived a hard life and never once let loose was given the chance to enjoy a beautiful day-to-day living." She gestured to a large door and then pushed it open, revealing a spacious bathroom with a large shower and a tub.

"Looks like Eris has been progressing technology to be more modern all on her own, I noticed a magically operated ceiling fan earlier too." Dina stared at the modern-esque appearance of the bathroom, but then reality struck her and she stiffened when she saw Sol enter, and then Ikaris behind him. "We... all of us, together, in there?" She asked, and Sara looked at her strangely.

"If you are reserved, I shall quickly prepare another guest bathroom milady."

"No!" The mage exclaimed. "No... *ahem, It's fine, thank you."

"Then, please excuse me, I will return with more clothing for your post bath." Sara curtseyed daintily and left her standing there while Arla also stared in the bathroom.

"Arla?"

"G-goodness." Arla walked in with her face burning and her eyes coated in embarrassment and desire as the thought of Sol naked struck her like a bolt of lightning. "I must control myself." She squealed.

"Restraint is overrated, this should be a space where we allow ourselves to be free, we are after all in his servitude, his slaves, remember?" Ikaris answered standing before Sol and unbuttoning his shirt and then standing before him as he calmly started unbuttoning the back of her blouse.

"It hasn't been that long since..." Sol looked up at them when Ikaris pressed her ass against him with a deep sigh of relief as the strings of her corset began unravelling.

"You don't need to force yourself, I'll understand if you choose not to." He looked at Dina, but Arla in contrast was already right before Ikaris with the goddess staring down at her with a smile as she helped her out of her dress.

"It's just that, I um," Dina stuttered to speak. "I have never urhhh~" She hid her face and blushed even brighter than Arla had. "I want to but..."

"Another moment of indecision." Ikaris commented walking with Arla who continued to help her undress until she was completely nude before the bath, exposing Sol who was only in his underwear.

"Dina." Sol spoke up, and with his voice all their sigils lit up and hummed, causing Ikaris who sat on the side of the bath to close her eyes as it had been a while since he used [authority] on her. "Come to me."

"Yes," She felt compelled, beyond what she had expected, even with her willingness she had been reserved, but upon Sol speaking all her reservations vanished and she walked forward, stopping before him and staring into his eyes. "Master-"

"Turn around." He ordered her without the use of the runes, and she complied without a word of protest, sucking in a breath when he held her sensually for the first time.

"I'm not some kind of unreasonable machine that only thinks about sex, I'll respect your reservations there, however-" He held her neck from behind and pressed his palm in her back, causing the entirety of her corset to fall and her dress which had held on to pool at her feet without any obstacles.

"Hnnnnn~"
