Fanfic Post 5 - Queen Elf of Boruenan Forest (Satou’s and Aze’s POV)

Chapter 16 SS 5 – Queen Elf of Boruenan Forest (Satou’s and Aze’s POV)

After a busy day of dropping off goods and material at Echigoya firm warehouse in capital, getting reports from manager Elterina and secretary Tifaliza, and launching new Echigoya branch office in Judicial Nation Sheriffald that has been delayed due to [God’s Trial], I want to rest my tired soul with someone special in Boruenan Forest. Specifically the queen of the elves there. (Satou)

“PHOOMH!” (Satou)

“AH AU AU AWAWAWA!!??” (Aze)

“Opps, opps, don’t panic. It’s me, it’s me” (Satou)

(Satou’s POV)

Aze was shocked beyond belief that someone appear at her back in the tight security room in Boruenan Forest and lightly tapped her bottom. She was about to trip over, so I hold her belly and pulled her close to me. I embrace her from behind and lightly peck her cheeks when she turns her face around. We meet time to time with <Unit Arrangement> skill but today I will treat her a bit special with my cooking.

“Mou, you are so wicked Satou” (Aze)

“I miss you” (Satou) (passed some cookies to the pixies before they disturb the mood)

Pixies going ‘Hyahaho’ when they got the goodie bag, while Lua’s meat floss cookie really made her happy. Bribery success, and they make their way to the kitchen.

This visit is special because today is New Year celebration. The people of this world don’t seem to celebrate New Year and birthday that much. This is probably due to their mindset that life is fragile, so everyone is trying their best to stay alive and healthy. For that, I want to make a meaningful New Year celebration for my beloved so that they appreciate the time they have. When inquired about her actual date of birth, she said she don’t remember, since she don’t really celebrate it since her age is hundreds of million of years. So let’s make every new year her birthday, yes. A year here is shorter than back in my homeworld, with 10 months a year, 30 days every month, but each day is longer with 28 hours.

“Today is a special day in my world. We celebrate New Year every year across the world to mark the gratefulness for the past year and to look forward to a better new year. We gather and look at beautiful fireworks” (Satou)

“Uuu. I can’t move away from the World Tree, so I can only see as far as the World Tree can see” (Aze)

“Don’t worry, I brought something that will allow you to see beyond the forest” (Satou)

“Ehh!? Really? You are always so great Satou!” (Aze)

(Aze’s POV)

I brought Satou to my room for the first time. It is a really simple room. I keep a lot of dolls and decorations made from the materials in the forest. After so many years, I even throw away many of them or the room will be full. When I enter stasis, some got thrown away. I hope my room doesn’t look weird to Satou. He’s grinning, my room definitely looks weird. Mou, why did he suggest we move to my room? I don’t want to show my shameful side to Satou. Satou takes out a doll from a black empty space. Awawa, the doll looks exactly like me. Really like my body and face. The chest is maybe a little bit larger, maybe. I’m not jealous or anything you know. Satou teach me how to use magic and synchronize my mind with the doll. When I wake up after that, my body is the doll’s body, and I can see my own body resting on the bed. This is very strange feeling, seeing my own body from another point of view. My chest feels a bit larger and heavier. Satou placed my body properly on the bed, put a blanket on my body, and cast a protective shield over it just in case. This way, the World Tree can still operate with me still present. It is almost like when I’m in stasis mode.

Satou then take me out of the forest with his <Unit Arrangement> skill. Uwah, what is this? I can’t believe I’m out of the forest in the next moment. I have never left the forest before, this is my first time going to the outside, I’m so happy. Satou brought me to a food stand and we try some bread made of sweet potato, deep-fried bat wings with some black sauce, and some sweet sticky syrup. Satou said these are the specialty of this place called Seryuu City. They are delicious but not as delicious as Satou’s cookings. Satou also brought me to Seryuu’s Worker’s guild and meet with a long lost elf during Trazayuya’s venture into the labyrinth, Yusalatouya, and a polite female employee, Nadi-san. Yusalatouya is still taciturn as always, but he seems fine. I’m glad to meet him here. We said our goodbye, and Satou brought me around Seryuu city walls and sites near the devastated Dragon Valley. Some scars from highly destructive explosion of grand magnitude can be seen at the faraway location.

After enjoying some sightseeing on the anti-dragon rampart, Satou moved us instantly to Muno Barondom. So Satou and the girls are always travelling so suddenly like this. I still can’t get used to it, but it is nice to travel with Satou. We see some girls and children, then we enter a large castle and some maids come to greet us. I greet them politely. The people in the castle are polite to me. They are good people, and the children are very nice. They give me some red stone decorated in the image of Satou as a hero. Satou then take another red stone and carved it. The image he made on the stone is me as the elf queen with World Tree as the background. I like it very much. We then go to a firm and we greet all the staff in an office. A noble lady appeared to be the manager there. She is very polite to Satou. Is he the owner of such firm? I am surprised. However, I sensed that manager-san has feelings for Satou. We walked near the forest and the trees opened its way to reveal a road in the forest. I was aware that this is the doing of Dryad, but Satou continue to walk the path. I warned Satou that the Dryad is looking to suck the mana out of any unsuspecting traveller, but Satou assured me that it is okay. Sure enough, Dryad-san appeared on a tree stump and greeted us. I tried to use my authority as the high elf to dissuade Dryad-san from taking mana from Satou. However, Satou took out a blue shining holy blade from his storage and present it to Dryad-san. Dryad-san looks unhappy because she can’t kiss Satou, and I secretly feel happy. This is bad, I mustn’t think like that. Satou must marry a hundred girls and make many children. Dryad-san take the knife, and she immediately smile. Dryad-san change her appearance into an adult, which require quite a lot of mana to maintain, and seduce Satou. Satou thanked the Dryad for her hard work and we move ahead to a village, leaving Dryad-san behind. The tree road closed itself after we pass by it, and the fruit tress grow fruits and the flower plants bloomed like spring, the forest is filled with vitality. I wonder what is that shining holy blade that made such change. We arrive at a village filled with senior citizens. They are very polite with Satou and always offer some food or gift to us, but Satou decline most of them, saying that they should enjoy it themselves. Satou take out some goodie bags and pass it to the village chief. They were very grateful to Satou and they told me that they couldn’t have survived so well today if not for Satou’s benevolence.

We say our goodbye to the people of Muno, then Satuo moved us to an underground city of the dwarves, Bollhart city. I rarely see them, and there are more dwarves here than I have seen in all my life at Boruenan Forest. We greet an important person of the city there, and Satou introduced him as Dohar. Satou also introduced Dohar’s wife, his son Driar, and his granddaughter Jojori. Mou, so many important people, I have hard time remembering them all. The dwarves prostrate themselves when Satou told them I’m the high elf and the queen of Boruenan Forest. Awawa, please don’t be so polite to me. The dwarves offer to let us tour the place and we get to see how the dwarves work on the metal to make tools and weapons. Dohar-san said Satou used to work here for some time, and asked for a spar. Satou agreed to entertain him, and they spar together. Satou managed a draw with Dohar-san after a lengthy battle, but Satou looks very calm the entire battle, though there are sometimes dangerous moments. I believe Satou is properly holding back, and I like Satou for this. Please don’t scare the people with your overwhelming power. We then have some wine and barbeque and some chat with the dwarves. Satou get some fruit juice for me as I’m not good with the wine, and he doesn’t want me to get drunk halfway of the tour. When we are going to leave Bollhart city, Dohar-san suggests to Satou to take Jojori as a wife, which Satou politely reject. Umm, I think Jojori-san already has someone else in her mind.

We say our goodbyes to the dwarves and Satou brought us to another city. The name of the place is Gururian city, and we sampled the red bean paste there. The taste is sweet, just like the ones Lua-san made. The colour is red and the texture is coarse, and it seems to be made from beans and granulated rice. We also tried the white rice and tempura served in a restaurant. It taste nice, but Satou can cook much better than this if he cook these in the forest. Satou said that all the dishes here are almost identical to the food of his homeworld. I will try savouring more of the food here, and inform Nea-san to come to Gururian city to copy the taste and recipe here. We visited a store called Midoriya and Satou greeted two girls acquaintance there.

We said our goodbye, then move on to another city. This city is very large, and the pavement and buildings are made from stone. It feels totally different from the forest, as the spirits here are different. There are a lot of people here, and Satou said that this place used to be the capital of the Shiga kingdom, the kingdom of human adjacent to Boruenan Forest. He said that he once fought his first demon lord under this city, and the name of this city is Oyugock capital. Satou also said that Sera-san’s grandfather is the Duke of this city. We quickly made trips to many workshops making items here and there with <Unit Arrangement> until I got dizzy from the scenery change. We then visit a shop for making scrolls. Satou introduced the owner of the shop, Count Shimen, and his brother, Toruma, the brother’s wife Hayuna with her baby Mayuna. I introduce my finger to the cute little girl, and she gripped and shakes it. When seeing such a cute spectacle, I feel like having a baby of my own. Awawa, what am I thinking!? It would have to wait until Satou meet with the Gods. The people at the scroll workshop are very polite. I feel sad but we have to part ways with the baby, erhm, I mean people at the workshop. Satou then brought us to the temple and we meet a young little girl who works as an apprentice miko there. Satou said her name is Lily. The apprentice miko and the temple head brought out all the priests and priestesses at the temple and prostrate lowly in front of me. Au au, please don’t lower yourself like this to me. They are very pious people. I will inform the Gods if they contact me next time. There were many cute sealkin children that called out to Satou and we give them goodies and leave some to the temple head.

We said our goodbye to them and Satou brought us to a very large labyrinth city. This should be the Selbira labyrinth city that was mentioned by the Gods. Satou brought us to the Ivy mansion owned by Trazayuya-san. It has a very nice green garden while surrounded by barren desert. The water source is clean and there is a surrounding mist that seems to be shrouded with mana to confuse any trespassers. When Satou entered the mansion, I saw Leriril the house fairy greeted Satou politely. She was shocked and fell on her back. Hee, this proud girl has finally know the true value of Satou and is now able to work under him, I’m so glad. I patted her head and she cried. Au au, don’t be sad ok, I’m not here to bully you. I brought her news about Giril-san and she was overjoyed. We said our goodbye and promised to come again to appease the crying Leriril. Satou moved us to a place underground with an artificial moon. I was shocked when I realized that there were vampires, metal armour, mummy, goblin, demon lord, and hero at there, but Satou explained that they were friends. Satou introduced them all to me, and I have a hard time remembering all of them. I was surprised that there were normal human girls working in the mansion underground, but Satou assured me that they were not forced to stay and True Ancestor Ban will release them after they have served their time here. Semeri san is looking at me questioningly, and Yuika san with Shizuka san are looking here politely, maybe we can be good friends. It seems that most of the people here are avoiding the punishment from Gods. They seem like good people, I wonder what caused the Gods to go after them. We also meet with some Evil Dragons. They were scary, but Satou just played with them and feed them with some monster meat, then they carry us on their back and fly around the labyrinth. It was a scary experience, but Satou made the entire thing looks fine, so I fully trusted Satou and enjoy the ride. We say our goodbyes and Satou moved us to an orphanage with children working as baggage carriers and adventurers. The instructor who is an adventurer herself came out to greet Satou and she introduced herself as Jenna. Her assistant came out and introduced herself as Iruna. They are worthy of respect as they help teach those children basic skills on how to make a living out of the labyrinth and stay alive. Satou gave me a bag and we all passed 2 sweets and a cookie to each of the children present there. There were thousands of children suddenly thronged the area, so Satou took out a cartload of candies and cookies and place them at the school to be distributed by the instructor. We quickly take the chance to escape while the children were busy taking the treats.

Satou used <Unit Arrangement> and we are now in front of a small town called Puta town, which is neighbouring Brouenan Forest. The people I can see are mostly beastkins. They were surprised and prostrated when they saw me, so I asked them to rise up. Satou pass me a goodie bag and we distribute the goodies to the children of the town. The place is lively, although it is a bit underdeveloped, and there were a lot of children around. Satou got several bag of clothes from his Storage and place them on the ground. The children were elated and they ran to grab the clothes there. Some adults also come to see the clothes, and they are not bullying the children. I never know there were such pitiful children as our neighbour. I will ask the elves to provide some help next time. We move to a house and Satou introduce her as Hyona, whom was burned by an arsonist noble and was treated by Satou. She was very happy to see Satou again and she invited us for a dinner. Satou however politely declined her and I can see she was really dejected from that. Looks like she has some feelings for Satou. We move to a quiet place in the woods and Satou use <Unit Arrangement> to move to the next destination.

Satou brought us to the royal capital of Shiga kingdom with <Unit Arrangement>, and he took us to the Royal Castle, where we secretly view someone of importance in the country. I question Satou what he’s doing, and he ask me to lower my voice or risk exposing us. I watched and saw another man enter the large throne room. Satou explained that the man earlier is the king of Shiga kingdom and the man that just entered the room is the prime minister. Satou is really mischievous. We leave the place after leaving something in the room for the both of them, and Satou set a timed fireworks to go off after some time has passed to get their attention to the gift. We go to the school next, and we greet the teachers and school children. They are all very cute and interesting. Tama, Pochi, Mia, and Arisa were there too. Maybe I should set up a school for the elves to train themselves. We said goodbye to the children, then Satou and me both returned to my room in the forest.

(Satou’s POV)

I ask Aze for permission to use her room, since I plan to get Aze out of the forest, I need a place to place her body after synching her with Aze doll I prepared beforehand. The chest area is more ample than the real one, I hope to see Aze body with Golden Ratio, will be very beautiful. I got to her room, it has a good feminine vibe. Though it looks worn out, there were many cute dolls made of fluffy materials. The smell of natural forest perfume made of flowers entered my nasal cavity, stimulating a feeling that I’m surrounded by many flowers in the room. I take out Aze doll from my Storage. The person herself seem like she is jealous of the doll. I teach her how to synchronize her mind to match the frequency of the doll, and how to operate her new body. Aze is an expert in the field, as she seems to able to control the doll flawlessly in her first try. I carry her body in a princess carry and place it gently on the bed, then cover it with her blanket, and after making sure her heartbeat remained stable, I cast a strong hemispheric strong <Flexible Shield> around her body so that no Demon Lord level enemy can do anything to her body in case of emergency. With this method, Aze can move outside of World Tree while her body was able to maintain the minimal and backup operations of the World Tree.

I move her to Seryuu city, my first location when I first arrive in this world. I ask her if she is okay with the sudden change, and she was okay with it. I let her taste some food at the food stands there. The taste is nostalgic, although the current food eaten by the girls are of different plane now, it brings back memory. I remembered my first battle with the Wagahai greater demon. I remembered meeting Zena here. I then remembered Nadi-san and after we finish our food, I moved us with <Unit Arrangement> at a hidden spot to the Worker’s Guild. I knock the door and found Nadi-san as usual working hard with the taciturn elf manager, Yusalatouya. We greet them, I secretly pass some living expenses to Nadi-san while I place some measure of magical and physical defense there with some monitoring system, then we say our goodbyes to them. I move us to the outer walls of Seryuu city to see the horizon beyond that connects to Dragon Valley. Seems like the abandoned town and also the mountains are still standing, although the scars of my testing mistake can be seen here and there outside the valley. I then movedus to the inner walls where the soldiers used to train and the rampart to defend against wyvern and dragon attacks.

We conclude our Seryuu tour, then I moved us again with <Unit Arrangement> to Muno Barondom. We went to see the castle, and we meet with all the children in the village there. Apparently, the consul, Nina, gathered them for some learning activity. Baron Muno and his family are out for some official business, so we greet with consul Nina and the maids in the castle. They demand for some snacks, so I take out some from my Storage and give them, and pass some recipe to the castle kitchen’s cook. I saw the children handed some Red Snake stone from the riverbed that has been smoothly carved with my image as a hero that defeated a Demon Lord. I took a Red Snake stone from my Storage, and used a composite advanced skill, <Mould> that can shape and carve material with no wastage or damage. I shaped it into the image of Aze as the Boruenan Forest queen with World Tree as the background. I gifted it to Aze as a pendant and she liked it, which made me happy. After saying our farewell, we moved to Echigoya’s headquarters in Muno. Although the headquarters in the capital is more developed, the one here has the fastest growth rate. I saw manager Elterina again, with her quick movement, she arrived in Muno and greet me. I show Aze around the firm, and manager-san seems to emit enmity towards Aze and she tried to approach me. I hope she can be able to separate work and personal things aside properly, and manager-san seems able to understand that and behave well. I walked near the forest when the trees parted and show the forest highway. I walk the path with Aze, which seem worried about me. I arrive at a tree stump and sure enough, Dryad-san appeared from it. She said she missed our time together, and asked for a kiss and a little mana. I got an idea, and take out a holy blade filled to the brim with my mana during when I don’t use much mana. It glows in thick blue colour and I present the blade to Dryad-san. She looks lonely somehow, but she still reaches for what is presented for her. Her face suddenly turned bright, and she changed to her adult form for the first time. She brought our body close together, and I can feel the seductiveness of her curves. I don’t want to upset Aze in front of her, so I thanked her and move away while Dryad-san is coiling around with her body. The vegetation seems to grow healthier and flowers bloom and fruit ripen. We exited the forest while walking the forest highway, and arrived at the first village I created for the old folks and children when I first entered Muno territory. They are all very lively, and they keep asking me to join them for a feast. I politely declined them as we still got many places to tour. I take out several goodie bags and pass them to the village chief to distribute to the people. He is very grateful and I stopped him when he was about to bow to me.

We say our goodbyes to the village people and in an unseen place, I moved us with <Unit Arrangement> towards the dwarven city of Bollhart. I bypassed the checkpoint and arrive directly near the blacksmith facility, hopefully they don’t take this to heart. I can teach them anti-teleport barrier if they want to learn. I knock on the master’s door and elder Dohar open the door. I checked in my Map before this and was surprised that he and his family were present nearby. He promptly tried to bear hug me but I avoided it. He was shocked to see Aze with me, so he called Zajir-san to call for all the dwarves and his family to come meet the queen elf of the Boruenan Forest that has never stepped outside the forest. In 10 short minutes, the entire mess hall was filled with dwarves of every kind. They all prostrate towards Aze, which she was a loss. Let’s offer her a hand here, and I tell elder Dohar that Aze is new to the outside world, and she doesn’t fancy formalities. Elder Dohar gets it, unlike a certain KY uncle, and ask the rest of the dwarves to ease themselves. He then proceeds to introduce his wife, his son Driar-shi, and his granddaughter Jojori-san, and all the other blacksmiths to Aze. Her face paled from so many names, so I politely tell elder Dohar to bring us for a tour around the place.  Elder Dohar shows the place around to us while explaining the work of the blacksmiths at their workstations. After showing us around and show a sample of how a casted sword of adamantium was made to Aze, elder Dohar challenged me to a rematch to see my swordsmanship. He really can ready my mind, this old man. We go to the hall near the basement and begin sparring with my Fairy sword Trazayuya and his cursed battle-axe. With the experience I have learned and skill from <Spirit Vision>, I can clearly see the soul attached to the weapon. It looks scary, and I barely can control shaking with my max <Fear Resistance>. We exchange hits and I managed to end with a draw. I put on some fake cold sweat with my <Water Magic> skill, and made it looks like a close tie. Though the soul spirit aided elder Dohar greatly, it also absorbs life force from the wielder and the one that it hit. I can use my enourmous array of sword skill and <Herculean Strength> skill to overpower the battle-axe, or I can also use <Light Magic> skill to attack the soul spirit. I hope elder Dohar will not rely on this weapon too often as it can affect his life force. Elder Dohar decide to have us join their feast so I going to join for a while. I told them that Aze was weak to alcohol, so I gave her fruit juice made of orange-like fruit. We enjoy chatting with the dwarves and eat some barbeque meat. I take out some marinated meat and give to elder Dohar’s wife. I wonder what’s her name. She help cut and barbequed the meat, which gives off a pleasant smell in the room, and the dwarves crowded the cooking mesh, waiting for their share. In a drunken stupor, elder Dohar again ask me to take Jojori-san as my wife, which I indirectly pointed that the said person’s opinion is important. Jojori-san just nodded and said that she would be honoured to be my wife. Please, I am offering you a lifeboat here. Zajir-shi and Galhar-shi is glaring at me with beast-like eyes. I quickly thank the dwarves and elder Dohar for his hospitality, and quickly go to a corner with no eyes watching us, we move away with <Unit Arrangement>.

We arrive at Gururian city, and I bring her to the place that sells the famous red bean paste. We meet the girl who looks like Showa-era lunch box seller and buy the dumpling-shaped red bean paste. Aze likes the taste and texture of the red bean paste. I can try to make it next time for Aze. I also let her try the white rice and tempura that we taught to the restaurant here in exchange for white rice. The food here reminds me of my homeworld, so I told Aze about it. Aze somehow looked determined for something. I brought her to a store called Midoriya to meet with the tow girls we met on my journey with the girls. The two of them are doing fine, and the boss have promoted them to shopkeeper position. I give them a goodie bag each, and bid them farewell.

We easily got out of eyesight, and I used <Unit Arrangement> to move us to Oyugock capital. I told Aze about Sera’s grandfather is the Duke of this city and it used to be the old capital of Shiga kingdom. I promised to bring Aze to the scroll workshop, but let’s visit all the associated workshops first. The glass, city wall pillar, magic book, and other miscellaneous workshop were visited in quick succession and I pass a small package of goodies in them to the owner of the places while greeting them, then I disappear again. I avoided the okama establishment for obvious reason. We finally arrived at the scroll workshop that I always told Aze about. I checked the map, and it seems Count Shimen is in the house, together with Toruma and his wife Hayuna. I greet them and introduced Aze to them, which they got shocked and try to prostrate. Before they can do that, Aze has already talked with Hayuna and has been playing with the baby Mayuna, so the mood is gone. I prepared a small princess doll that has been enchanted with Raka Mk2 AI so that it can speak and perform minor movements and can constantly teach the baby anything and notify the parents if emergency happens, and pass this to Mayuna together with a small instruction manual. Aze suddenly blushed and look at me, then hide her face. The baby Mayuna is very fond of Aze, which Aze describe Mayuna as a being loved by the spirits. Quite an amount of spirits gathering near Mayuna, and the atmosphere is good. Count Shimen and Toruma tried to get down to business, but can’t find the right mood, as they always got interrupted. Toruma even tried to ask if I want to join him at the okama establishment. This dense KY uncle. I would want to inquire if they have any useful spells available, but since I can chant spells, I have never ordered any more scrolls from the workshop. We say our goodbyes to the scroll workshop and make our way to Tenion temple. I introduce the temple apperentice miko Lily and the temple head and the head miko to Aze. When I told them that Aze is the high elf queen of Boruenan Forest, they all fell prostrate on the ground. The rest of the priest and priestesses quickly came out and did the same. Aze was at a loss and the temple people are more adamant when it comes to the divine. Lily understood the situation and calmly get up and convince the temple head and head miko to rise up and don’t trouble Aze, which they did and the rest of the temple priest and priestesses follow. Aze was thinking of something when the sealkin children come and called ‘Masuta’ at me. I open my Storage and take out some goodie bags and pass it to them. I also pass some goodie bags to the temple head to distribute to the priest and priestesses along with the staff there. I also give a 100 gold coin donation to the temple.

After saying our goodbyes to the people and children, we walk to a quiet alley and I used <Unit Arrangement> to move us to our next destination, Selbira labyrinth city. I brought her to the Ivy mansion. The place is clean and serene as usual, nobody has successfully break-in. Leriril the house fairy greeted me as usual, but falls to the ground on her back when she saw Aze was outside of the Boruenan Forest. She ask me how is it possible, I said it was a secret. She turn cheerful again when Aze talk to her about her father, Giril-san. After appeasing the house fairy, I move both of us to labyrinth lower layer. I introduce her to True Ancestor Ban Helsing, Ryuna, Semeri and the rest of the Vampire princesses. It used to be five, but maybe the number has increased again? I introduce Tetsuo the King Mummy, Takeru the Metal Suit, Goblin Princess Yuika, Demon Lord Shizuka and Hero Shin too to Aze. Aze and Yuika can talk especially well with each other. Looks like these three with girl power over one million will be good friends. Of course I didn’t tell them that Aze is the high elf queen of Boruenan Forest or the entire lower layer labyrinth will be in an uproar. I passed some [Lesseu Blood] wine and some goodie bags to True Ancestor Ban, and let him distribute them to his girls. I also made some for Goblin Princess Yuika, Demon lord Shizuka, and Hero Shin. I pass the goodie bags to them together with their living supplies. For Mummy King Tetsuo or ‘Corpse’ and Living Armour Takeru or ‘Armour’, I present them both with exact model replica at the scale of 1/20 of both the Holy Shell Mobile Armour of [Dynast] and [General]. They were overjoyed with the new toys and proceed to prepare a new battleground to start new mock battle. I also secretly give Shin a holy sword with good magic conductivity with a short instruction on how to practice it for his development. After letting the girls chat and I completed my transaction with Ban-san, me and Aze moved to the cave where the Evil Dragon family lives. I cast <Canopy> and <Air Control> over Aze to protect her from the hot air and poisonous gas here. I know I’m overprotective even to doll Aze, but I can’t afford to see Aze suffer pain. The Evil Dragon noticed me and they all come out, equipped with their glittering jewelry. I lightly pat their heads, and present large chunks of monster meat marinated beforehand. I sliced a new rock and place it over the hot lava to act as a sizzling pan. I place the meat on top of the flat stone pan and turn the meat when it is cooked. The Evil Dragons greedily eat up the large chunks of meat, and they happily carry me and Aze around the lava part of the lower layer labyrinth. We go for two rounds around the area and then me and Aze decide to say our goodbye to the playful Evil Dragons or they will play with us until we were out of time. I use <Unit Arrangement> and we arrive at an orphanage home and also a training home for orphan children aspiring to be adventurer. They can also train their <Arithmetic> and <Book Keeping> skills and other general-purpose skill to allow them to learn how to become useful people that can work in the castle, companies, or even small shops for a living. Jenna and Iruna, the instructors of the orphanage I built noticed my presence from the noise the children made and came out to greet me and Aze. I introduce them both to Aze, and explain a little of their backgrounds to Aze. I just quickly present them Aze as the high elf queen of Boruenan Forest, which they were surprisingly calm. The children all crowded around us by the meantime. I present them all with goodies together with Aze, but their numbers are just too many. I put out a cartload of them for them to get it themselves, and passed large sacks of goodie bags to the instructors and trust them to distribute it as fairly as possible among the kids. The children got into an uproar and all of them come forward to the cart and start a grabbing pandemonium there. I quickly hold Aze’s hands, bring her to a quiet location, without getting the chance to say our goodbyes, I use <Unit Arrangement> and we move to a new place.

I brought Aze with  <Unit Arrangement> to a small nostalgic town, Puta Town. I wonder how Kon boy is doing. I ask the four magic core hunters that used to be his companion and it seems that Kon boy is out on an adventure after introducing tomatoes to some stranger and gain a magic sword, and also gain a strange teacher that can coat red magic on his weapon and shoot it. I told Aze that this town is just neighbouring Boruenan Forest, located at the northwest. I brought her to visit the house that was burned to the ground, the three-storey tenement, which is almost complete reconstructing. The beastkin children there looked almost the same as before, but there is slight improvement compared to before. Maybe I should ask Echigoya manager to open a branch here to provide jobs and direction to the people here, and remove the town entry cost that trouble the low-income people from returning to town. I take out a goodie bag and pass it to Aze, and we both distribute goodies to the beastkin children. They were quite orderly, and I place both our remainder goodies on a table I took out from Storage, and the children take turn to take one goodie each. How mannered these children are. I decide to take out several bags of good-looking unwanted clothes and place them on the floor, since the children are still wearing mismatch clothes of random size and length. Some parents even come and select the larger ones for themselves. I hold Aze’s hand and we both walk to the house of a lady I treat for burns. When we arrive, I introduce her to Aze. The result for the healing potion is good even for medium quality, as the burn scars were all gone. Her younger brother was also present, and he’s helping out with the reconstruction of the three-storey tenement. She offered for us to have dinner with her and family, but I already have a birthday plan, so I politely decline. She looks dispirited, but I have to give priority to Aze, so I can’t give in here. After giving some goodies, clothes, and some tools for them to make a decent living, I take Aze with me to a quiet place in the woods, and we move to the Royal Capital with <Unit Arrangement>.

Lastly, we arrive in the royal capital with <Unit Arrangement>. I brought us to the inside of the royal castle.  The castle is equipped with anti-teleport, but it cannot prevent movement by  <Unit Arrangement>. I plan to leave some goodies for the king and also the prime minister, as a thank you gift for their offer for the Ministry of Tourism and the compilation of local dishes of different countries and attraction spots. We spy them through a small hole, and I explain to Aze that the one sitting and the one that open the door and approaching the desk are both the king and the prime minister of Shiga kingdom, encircling the Boruenan Forest. I then place the goodies fit for a king and his prime minister near the door entrance and set timed fireworks to alert them of the goods if they don’t pick up, together with a note from Nanashi so that they don’t misunderstand. I then use <Unit Arrangement> to move us both to the Magic Academy, where Tama, Pochi, Mia, and Arisa are still in their studies. They study till afternoon close to evening today, so I greet the teachers, and get out the goodies and we both distribute it to the students of the Magic Academy and also the Knight Academy. I hope they can both produce great students in the future. Tama and Pochi, you will both get more later, so please don’t take too much of the goodies. We say our goodbyes to the children, then we go to a quiet spot and I use <Unit Arrangement> and we are both back to Boruenan Forest right in front Aze’s room.

Before the event start, we go to Aze’s room to unsynch her mind from the doll’s body back to her original body. I hope Aze will enjoy the travel to the outside world, which she said she greatly do. I take out all the extra food I purchased along the journey from my Storage and place it in front of Aze. She starts to make such a cute face. It was worth all the trouble. After that, I got to the kitchen and take out all the ingredients to prepare for the feast.

During the evening, the girls came into the room with Arisa’s space magic. I have to do most of the transportation because Arisa’s mana became very low after teleporting herself and Lulu. Arisa is already amazing in itself, as I need to teleport with one pit stop in between last time when I had 3000+ mana.

We start with a toast and a feast, and then the birthday cake is carted out slowly from the forest kitchen. Lulu and Nea-san both cooperate to prepare the cake and the feast. I should properly thank them. I grab the brownies from all the homes scattered everywhere and also those working on the airships. Those that need to standby for duty, I will compensate with a special large bag of goodies, cakes and drinks. Lua-san and all the elven teachers like Sotorineya the dollmaker, Poltomea the swordmaster, were invited, leprechauns like Shagnig, including Mia’s parents Laya and Lia. I place large goodie bags in the kitchen for those who can’t attend.

We start off with a gathering, then a small opening speech, and the kickoff of the ceremony by our MVP, Aze-tan by making of a wish and blowing off the candle, then cutting the cake. I place only one candle on the cake to simplify the event. The cake was prepared by Lulu and Nea for 5 days and has 7 stories high and 5 layers each. What I didn’t foresee is that this event will signify the start of a new date and the formation of a calendar by the astrologists in the World Tree, marking the first year of an era. Aze asked why we need a cake, and when I told her that it is her birthday, she fainted for several minutes. I use <Calm Field> and <Ennui Field> to calm her mind and let her relax. Aze-tan can really be dramatic at times, haha.

We push forward the event successfully after Aze sober up, and we cut and distribute the cake to the guest and girls. Too bad that the venue is the sensitive World Tree, we can’t bring in any political guest. We celebrate the night off with Tama and Pochi doing their tricks, where Tama would glide across the air and perform disappearing tricks, while Pochi would do ballerina dance and dance gracefully with her swordplay. The other girls also one by one do what they are good at, but most important of all, they enjoy themselves. We continue to play some games that combined the knowledge from my homeworld and magic, like Arisa’s magical concert in her sailor uniform, chess, monopoly, and mahjong games. The elves with their easy to give up behavior unexpectedly love to play those games that involve the brain.

When the time of midnight is about to reach and the moon has reached it zenith to reveal a full circle in the sky with the brightest night, large blast of fireworks were roaring in the sky. I set them earlier with my new design of fireworks with my V1 rocket launcher, which can carry 25 tonne payload of each fireworks right up towards the space and blow up into a large display of characters and landscape that moves around, can be seen across half of the world at the night side. Those Space Kaijuu might be accidentally shot by the fireworks, and I hope not to wake the Demon God if he is anywhere near the moon, even if he is freed from the seal there. The fireworks display last for 30 minutes, and Aze cried tears of joy. I carried her and we moved to the top of the World Tree and have a walk.

I reminded her when we first met, and the kiss on her forehead. I kissed her there again. She was fuming but her look is very cute. I told her that I thought she was a useless elf, which she got madder. Then I even reminded her about the failed attempt to cage the [Evil Jellyfishes], and even the first [Giant Behemoth] she summoned and it fall through the branches due to gravity. Aze was in denial and she started closing her ears with her hands. I then lift her up and kiss her by the lips this time, and said that it doesn’t matter what she is, Aze is Aze and I will always love her.  I believe some people were spying and now were vomiting sugar or having diabetes, but that is their problem for peeking without permission.

I then bring Aze back to her room, and Arisa using familiar link to dial “Guilty, guilty” and Mia using the Telephone skill to dial “Nn, guilty”. I told them that today is special for Aze, but they said it is not fair. I promise them I will give them their share of treatment later, so they accept. I perform ear cleaning on Aze-tan because she alone missing that treatment is pitiful. The cute small curved ears of the elves is really a sight to behold. I play with her ears so much that she started to twitch her ears and hide it out of embarrassment. Aze-tan moaned a lot during the treatment, the feeling was great and the atmosphere is sensational.

After that, I get her to synchronize again with the doll Aze, then I bring her to the moon. Of course I provide a space suit for both of us, and we both have <Space Walk> skill so we can maneuver in the void of the space on the moon. We hold hand while walking the desolate surface of the moon, pick some rocks there, and make a small hill to mark our site. We then return back by going to the orbital station, and then I activate many layers of <Flexible Shield> with the space suit prepared for an orbital landing and parachute for any emergency. We do a atmospheric re-entry and enjoy the thrill of free fall. Aze was initially scared of the idea, but when I accompany her all the way, she was very brave and performed her free fall flawlessly.

I use <Unit Arrangement> to get back to the forest, and unsynch her mind again from the doll Aze. We all sleep in the forest tonight, so I carry all the girls that have fall asleep on the sofa and place them on the bed. I prepared a very large bed in the forest tree and place all the girls there with princess carry. Lastly, I carried Aze and we lie to sleep with her on the top. The girls collectively wake up and gathered near us, saying that I’m unfair. Well, I am only one man. Being popular is quite difficult. I need to figure how to keep all of them happy all the time if I want to live harmoniously in the future. While thinking about this and that, I fall asleep and head towards the dreamland with peace of mind.

Fanfic Post 2 - Hikaru’s POV, Training Arc with Cheat ON

Chapter 16 SS2 – Hikaru’s POV, Training Arc with Cheat ON

“It’s so tiring meeting Sete and PM-san. Sharlick-kun sure has reliable children, but they should be able to handle most of country matter. Now that the security around this world has been threatened by the many cases of appearance of Demon Lord, my task has increased many fold” complained Hikaru.

While on the way to go to the portal connected to Solitary Island portal, a handsome incubus with the appearance of a young handsome man with tuxedo coat appeared from a light portal from the ceiling.

“Greetings, Ms Mito. I’m not a suspicious person. I am here to provide a small advise” said the incubus.

“My, what do you want to advise me about?” said Hikaru, trying not to be rude since she used appraisal and realized the person has a high level of 75 with race of High Human(?).

“Your friends have committed a taboo. Allow me to present my evidence” (incubus) while taking out something from his chest pocket.

Hikaru prepares a dragon tooth dagger inside her Dimensional pouch while appearing to be calm in front of the stranger.

The stranger smiles calmly and tosses a crystal that looks like a camera to her.

“What is this?” asked the perplexed Hikaru.

“This is a video taken from Dejima Island labyrinth. It appears that they do this behind your back. How selfish can those girls be, taking everything and leaving just you out of the circle”. (Incubus)

Hikaru felt a surge of anger all of a sudden. Jealousy and animosity also rose exponentially and she has nowhere to direct it except at the matter at hand.

“Why should I trust you?” asked Hikaru, deciding to bury the thought he had earlier back and look at the stranger again to figure out his motive.

“Please I mean no harm. Take your time and view that video when you have time. Sorry for taking your time. I wish your well being and have a great day.” Said the incubus as he went around a corner, open a portal, and enter it without revealing it to Hikaru.

Hikaru can only feel the thoughts before taking stronger hold of her consciousness that it almost reveal itself on her face if not for her strong mettle to appear calm and composed in front of the gentleman.

Skill <Anger Resistance> obtained

The anger is somewhat more manageable but still roaring strong in Hikaru’s mind.

However, another skill was not resisted.

“Oh well, thank you for the delicious meal” said the incubus as he tossed a naked man with his vitality almost sucked dry from him out of the portal near the Shiga palace entrance.

Hikaru arrived at Solitary Island while keeping her thought in check. Her urge to attack was so strong, she can barely hold back from attacking the brownies pacing around the Solitary Island. She went to her room, change her official dress and don her casual wear which is made from superior materials and enchanted with Castle defence which have 40% of her Nanashi’s battle gear’s Castle defence power. She then open crystal top and a faint light shines to the ceiling, then filled the whole room with holographic image of what the girls that went to Dejima Labyrinth are doing, coupled with audio synchronization. The point-of-view seem to come from a small mound with a hole in the centre. The video revealed almost similar re-enactment of what actually happened, but some part has been tampered with to accentuate the negative parts more vividly. The video has the audio edited to show that the girls wanted to be better than Satou, to collect more power for themselves and display of vile greed, while undermining and ignore Satou’s decision of not using Core-chan to create powerful equipment or gift orbs from the new power source. Their image in Hikaru’s mind got muddier and dirtier by the minute and after completely watching the video, she decide to go to the kitchen to refresh herself before asking the girls regarding what they did at Dejima labyrinth.

Hikaru happen to come across Lulu in the kitchen, appearing to do some finishing touches on a cake. Hikaru’s mind got prejudiced into thinking that Lulu is trying to win away Satou’s heart through his stomach. Then Hikaru’s mind seem to suggest that Lulu is whittling away Satou’s life by putting specific love potion and other dangerous substance inside the food she cooks.

“Let me check that cake” demanded Hikaru while holding a knife made of mithril and silver to check for poison and other dangerous substance.

“Oh no Mito-sama. This cake is for dinner. Please don’t damage it before that” said Lulu.

“Hmm, suspicious. What are you hiding? Tell me quickly” demanded Hikaru in a haste.

“No, I did not hide anything from Mito-sama” (Lulu)

“You said that, but what did you do earlier? Didn’t you heard Ichirou-nii said to not to ask Core-chan for items or gift orbs from the dungeon?” slightly yelled Hikaru.

“Ichirou-nii? Ah, Satou-san’s name in his homeworld. W-what are you talking about Mito-sama? We n-never d-disobeyed Satou-san” (Lulu)

“Oh, being defensive now? What did you do in the afternoon? Do you think I was unaware since I’m at the capital palace? Also, what kind of poison did you put into the food you feed Satou? That powder there smells like some kind of stuff from his homeworld. Is it spice? What a cunning way to mask the smell of your poison” berated Hikaru.

“You can’t accuse me like this Mito-sama. I respected you as a compatriot of Satou-san, but you can’t just abuse that and slander me” replied a panicked Lulu. Hikaru was agitated and combined both her query. Lulu was panicked and infuriated at the same time as she is partially guilty stricken for one issue but was wrongly accused in another.

“Still denying? This recording shows all that you guys talked about at Dejima Island during the afternoon” Hikaru pointed out, quick to jump to conclusion and combined both issues.

“Wha-“ (Lulu)

Before Lulu can reply, Hikaru has already charged Lulu guilty for both accounts and smashed the cake with the knife in hand. At level 92, her strength is strong enough that the cream cake burst into a puddle. Lulu was too shocked and reacted by quickly gripping the knife on Hikaru’s hand.

“Deeryaah” (Hikaru)

With monstrous strength, Hikaru sweep her knife-equipped hand at Lulu and grazed her clothes. The strong material protected Lulu from serious injury and just ended with light scratch. Lulu was knocked back several metres away from her station and landed on her bum.

Lulu performed an ukemi when her body rolled backward to avoid hitting the kitchen stuff.

Lulu felt that she had a sudden realization that she somehow knows how to roll her body to avoid critical damage to her body.

Bad timing to learn a new skill, but she welcomed it.

Lulu picked an orichalcum chopping board (to match the strength of her cutting ability) from the table and use it as a guard while she asked Hikaru.

“Calm down please Mito-sama, I swear on my life I meant you, Satou-sama, and all the others here no harm. Please put away that knife.” (Lulu)

“Lies. All lies. You just lied earlier. Now you just want to save your miserable life so you put a brave front and try to stall time. What tricks you going to play next huh? I won’t let you harm Ichirou-nii ever again.” yelled Hikaru.

Hikaru sprang forward with speed rivaling a cheetah and stab towards Lulu by shifting the knife to Lulu’s unguarded position to the left eye. Thanks to Lulu’s sharp perception and some skills such as <Shield> level 1, Speed Up (small), Strength Up (small), and other miscellaneous skill, Lulu avoid certain critical hit and repelled the knife attack.

However, Lulu failed to disarm the knife from Hikaru’s firm grip and Hikaru continued to attack with pinpoint accuracy and superior strength that won’t let Lulu catch her breath. Lulu was forced to take defensive stance and retreat back with each strike. Lulu carefully retreat closer and closer to the teleport point to Desert subspace while telling the brownies to escape to safety. One daring brownie ran to the teleport point to contact the girls currently practicing there but got hit with a serious injury to the back by a magic blade conjured by Hikaru in the shape of the knife she held at hand.

Lulu was surprised by the drastic action taken by Hikaru, so she retreat very carefully while she chanted a minor healing spell for the brave fallen brownie. Three attacks manage to slip past Lulu’s guard when her concentration slipped while chanting. Her injuries were light compared to the brownies, but she bleed from her fingers and shoulder notheless.

“Ho, now you are showing your true nature by utilizing your ill-gotten spells. What a bunch of show-off. Don’t think Ichirou-nii will fall for you as I will expose all your secret plans and maneuver” (Hikaru)

“Please wake-up from your sleep-talking Mito-sama. Nothing good will come out from this confrontation. Please Mito-sama, I beg you” (Lulu)

“Still play-acting huh. I will get serious and make you spill your bean in front of Ichirou-nii” (Hikaru)

Hikaru reached for Claiomh Solais in her Dimensional pouch and performed a horizontal slash with an active skill <Heaven and Earth divide> that cleanly slice the already worn-out cutting board. The Castle defence and terminal defence inside Lulu’s casual wear both activated at the same time and disintegrated under the fierce attack from Hikaru.

Satou detected a faint emergency signal of Lulu from the device he fixed onto each dress that reports whenever a terminal defence is broken.

However, the location is at Solitary Island, which is the safe haven with all the scanners at the portal to catch anybody with bad intention except his girls, hence the weak spot exploited this time. Other safety measures like <Return> warp failed to operate properly because of Yuika’s barrier and warp destination is too close to the original location.

Satou immediately called Lulu with <Tactical Talk>

“Are there any problem over there? I haven’t install a video transmitter in the hall of Solitary Island that can bypass Yuika’s barrier (need encryption to avoid God’s hacking)”. (Satou)

“No, it’s nothing to worry about. I just fell and hurt myself” (Lulu)

“You sure? Should I return to the Solitary Island now?” Satou

“It’s really nothing. I’m alright now. Just focus on your training. I will be alright” (Lulu)

“It sounds like you are hiding something from me” (Satou)

“No way. Please don’t think too much” (Lulu)

“Ok, I trust you. Please be safe ok?” (Satou)

“Yes, take care and be safe. Have a good training” (Lulu)

“Yes, you too. Call and tell me if anything is wrong ok?” (Satou)

There were some background noise that Satou can pick up with <Clairhearing>, but decide to let the girls settle their differences, sending a drone scout to access the Solidarity Palace to get visual of the condition while training.

Meanwhile, inside the Desert Subspace.

Lulu was flung backward into the portal of Desert Subspace. The other girls are training over in the Desert, utilizing their orb skills when they noticed a body flew into the portal forcefully. There was a short pause after that happened and everyone stays still for that moment. After the view has set into their eyes, in less than a second, Arisa and the group of girls except Pochi and Tama rushed to the scene with short-range teleport and quickly administer Lulu with Elixir and healing magic. Sera have quickly use <Quick Heal> and <Recovery> spell to heal the wound so as not to leave any scars and Elixir was used to replenish blood loss.

While all that was happening, Lulu was called by Satou through <Tactical Talk> and she managed to convince Satou that everything was alright at her end while the group suddenly face an onslaught of skill and attack from across the portal. Lulu deployed level 1 <Silence> of the Air spell over her body while she complete her conversation to Satou.

Arisa dragged away the group with a long range teleport across the edge of the Desert subspace she marked before, then take out a periscope enchanted with <Far Sight> while casting <Clear View> and <Far Sight> level 1 to give maximum vision.

Lulu managed to catch her breath and just explained in simple words that Hikaru has started go berserk and that she managed to keep Satou away from hearing about the trouble Hikaru caused to Arisa and the group of girls.

Arisa and the group of girls still couldn’t believe that Satou’s best girlfriend and a cheerful friend to the group of girls can suddenly changed to behave so hostile.

Arisa used her Appaisal on Hikaru when a knight in golden armour and a purple cape came flying in with such intense speed that the eye is having difficulty following. Hikaru brandished her Claiomh Solais readily with 13 flexible swords of similar shape to its original came charging at Arisa.

“<Maze>” (Arisa)

Space Magic that blocks out dimension, boxed in Hikaru into a tight space

“Stay calm over there. <Clairvoyance> <Appraisal>” Arisa said and she cast her spell to view Hikaru’s status. Most of her statuses were concealed by the armour but something is obviously wrong with Hikaru’s condition.

Arisa cast <Appraisal> 2 more times before she can unveil some of the true statuses of Hikaru. There were <Charmed> and <Berserker> in Hikaru’s status display.

“This is bad. We need to free Hikaru-san from her <Charmed> and <Berserker> status” (Arisa)

“Let’s use <Dispel> skill to free Mito-sama. Mind Magic is such a terrible existence” (Sera)

Before the girls can chantlessly cast <Dispel> together as ritual magic, Liza and Nana was tossed into the air before taking a heavy blow when in the air.

Pochi and Tama appeared to have their sword and daggers in their hands and they have readied and boosted themselves in battle mode.

“<Maze>, <Maze>” (Arisa)

Arisa cast <Appraisal> again on Tama and Pochi to reveal <Charmed>, <Confused>, and <Delayed Onset> on them, with no misleading status due to they not equipping their golden armour.

“I may be a sword-wielding hero but my forte is in magic” said Hikaru as she broke out of the maze made from space magic.

The girls are unable to continue the ritual magic <Dispel> and instead cast them individually while avoiding magic edge cannon shot from multiple angles from the tip of Hikaru’s Claiomh Solais split magic blades.

Liza recovers herself before she used her Douma Mk2 spear to launch a flurry of attacks with Magic Edge active. These were all parried and Hikaru uses Force Art to topple Liza and prepare to finish her off when Nana who has recovered uses her Force Art to prepare a magic shield and repel Hikaru.

“You, all of you. Are you preparing to rebel against your Ichirou-nii?” lashed Hikaru.

“We never dream of hurting Satou-sama. Please come back to your senses. We will help you. Let us dispel that skill that has been plaguing you” (Arisa)

Hikaru felt the urge to reject the words from the girls, and unable to contain her emotion; launch very fierce attacks towards the girls.

Hikaru just wholly focused on battle rather than the strange feelings at hand due to the adrenaline rush. She knew she was outnumbered, so she creates 4 clones with a boost up from her golden armour. The clones are to distract the others while Hikaru deal with the girls one by one, as each clone is slightly inferior in battle power compare to any one of the girls.

Hikaru’s clones and 65 flying swords shooting Magic Edge cannon met with fierce battle with the girls. Hikaru’s main body slipped in and attacked Arisa first.

Arisa was panic-stricken, as she has forgotten to invite Hikaru to Dejima Island.

Both Tama and Pochi actually went out of their way to call Hikaru in the palace, but they turned back to Solitary Island without managing to invite her.

Behind the scene, the incubus (succubus form) has met and charmed both Tama and Pochi with <Delayed Onset> spell so that they would react when Hikaru was nearby them to deal maximum carnage.

“You are all ungrateful and intend to harm Ichirou-nii. I will destroy every one of you” shouted Hikaru. The girls shouted in anger in unison.

The girls fought with everything they had. Arisa use her <Space Cutter> spell to carefully chip away Hikaru’s shield and armour. Hikaru weave herself among the girls to make Arisa have a hard time to aim her big moves. Sera heals the wounded girls and use a new spell with flashbang under Light element spells to blind the attackers. Many of the girls got their eyes hurt due to large AOE of the spell.

Mia summoned all sorts of new summons with the elements like <Water Elemental>, <Fire Elemental>,  <Earth Elemental>, <Wind Elemental>, <Shadow Elemental>, <Light Elemental>, and many more with the new spells to hurl attacks at Hikaru to slow her down.

Liza used her Spear skills properly to destroy Hikaru’s clones and defences one by one. The fewer clones of Hikaru are meant to concentrate the power of the clone’s attacks, so Liza is having a tough time to take down even one of them, as Liza cannot use her Dragon Spear or any of her more lethal moves.

Karina is having a field day, as her active skill <Karina Kick> has become overwhelmingly powerful spell. Her kicks have destroyed several of Hikaru’s clones when they connected.

Nana draws aggro of Hikaru by stating that Hikaru is almost a millennium old. Her Force Art - Large shield on a sturdy shield she picked inside her Dimensional pouch was badly dented by the strong pierce of Claiomh Solais with a strong skill active.

Lulu sniped at Hikaru’s sword hand with her miniature Smoothbore rifle, but Hikaru twist her blade to reflect it back at Lulu and damage her gun to block the attack. Lulu then stores her Smoothbore rifle and retrieves her miniature acceleration rifle, then employed basic spell of <Mirage> at level 1 to hide her location.

Pochi and Tama broke out from the almost expired <Maze> spell of Arisa space magic and started to run rampage. Tama hides in the shadow and struck at the girls at their blind spot, injuring and incapacitating them. Pochi with her new spell <Nanodesu> and multiple cloning techniques made a huge wave that slashed away all the defensive <Flexible Shield> combined with <Lightning> spells placed by Arisa and Mia. The shields managed to damage Pochi’s clones sufficiently to disperse 56 out of the 64.

Arisa thought of turning this event into a serious training for their skills, but Hikaru’s Berserker state is getting worse the longer they duke it out. Her body is forcefully drawing mana to compensate for her overusing of mana.

Tama and Pochi have no sense of control over their destruction and may endanger the girls. As long as the head stays intact with the body, Sera can heal them again and Desert subspace can take quite a huge amount of damage.

Ending the battle quickly would be preferable, but the <Dispel> ritual magic can’t be performed when they are scattered, and individual <Dispel> are not sufficient to break the spell on Hikaru and the girls.

Arisa informed through <Tactic Talk> to all the girls not affected that they would have to whittle down or disarm and disable those affected with <Charmed> state in order to dispel from their affliction.

All the girls battle it out with <Flickering Movement> and <Ground Shrink>, every movement is happening in a blink of an eye.

Meanwhile, Sistina cast boost to all her summoned armed Orichalcum golem and the unaffected girls. The golems are equipped with spells that specialize in certain work. There are medic team that does <Healing>, <Antidote>, and <Regeneration>, a tanking team consist of shield-bearers, and a strike team consist of gun and cannon assortment made of mithril and orichalcum equipment, sword, spear, and dagger for close combat, and a team of long-range magic casters. With repair golems, the automatons can deal with a war of attrition and fight almost continuously, only the need to recharge their power source near a Philosopher stone furnace.

The girls utilize their new gift orb skills well, but wasn’t able to optimize them well for this current battle and it starts to affect their performance when compared to their usual skills.

Hikaru’s berserker state progressed further and she started emitting blue light over her body, similar to most Parion heroes when they damaged their soul vessel. Her slashes grew sharper and several times she almost slash off the heads of some of the girls. Several of the girls got their limbs severed, but Sera managed to mend them back.

Arisa raised her mind magic level 1 (from gift orb) to level 8 by allocating skill points and use <Sleeping Field> and <Ennui Field> to calm down Hikaru. This doesn’t work somehow and Arisa was in a bind of how to find a way to remove the negative status from Hikaru.

Seeing the state of things, the girls not in charmed state begin to move in unison and adopted a different strategy. Arisa utilize her level 1 healing magic and floating shield magic to support her allies, while utilizing Space, Fire, Mind, and Light magic to bombard from a distance while using <Meditation> to recover mana. Arisa occasionally cast fully-charged <Dispel>, <Sleeping Field>, and <Ennui Field> but to no avail as their armour absorb some of its effect and on top of dealing no damage. The <Charmed> effect is still going strong. Arisa then proceed to use space magic to absorb as many incoming attack on her allies inside her <Maze> as her mana can support

Zena utilizes her Air magic in tandem with level 1 sword skills to parry the attacks and to return attacks with her ordinary orichalcum sword. She cast elemental summons to defend herself and her allies while preparing huge <Tempest> attack to shave off her opponent’s defence while meditating to recover her mana. She combined Wind and Water spell to produce large freezing mist field and Ice spears to inhibit and strike. Large Water and Light spells were prepared to heal herself and her allies that suffered grave injuries, and she managed to recover herself when she lost an arm and have part of her stomach gouged out.

Liza handles Pochi and Tama from the front while using magic edge cannon for long-range attack at a distance. The sudden change in those two caught Liza by surprise and she failed to rush to Zena’s aid. The two little girls have grown so strong that Liza alone is tied down handling just one of them. One of the girls will parry away Liza’s magic edge cannon’s beam while the other will perform their own magic edge cannon or strike at Liza. Liza operates her magic spell to provide personal flexible shield protection and also heal her injury. She equips her weak elemental attacks on her spear to provide extra boost of elemental attack. Lightning spear provide speed and cutting edge, fire provide heat and AOE attack, wind provide speed and weightlessness, and ice provide freezing moves. Swinging her spear left and right, she bought a lot of time for others to cast their spells.

Nana provides powerful defensive and offensive cover for herself and her allies. She coated her floating scale shields with multiple elemental properties to provide better protection and to instantly repel and damage attackers. Lightning was used to electrocute attacks with conducting materials. It can even be used to magnetize her shield and render weapons immobile, though it cannot distinguish friends or foe. Using force art magic with elemental properties, Nana can make powerful magic attack equal to powerful mage such as Zena. Nana refuse to use summons in battle in fear that ‘young organism’ will be destroyed. Nana’s shields are especially effective to deal with <Confused> Tama that strike from the shadow using her clones equip with explosive spells or other destructive elements. Her shield can take the heavy beatings from <Confused> Pochi. Her <Shield Bash> skill was unable to make Pochi and Tama faint from concussion due to the powerful enchantment of the <Confused> spell cast on them. She uses some swords skills with her great sword to attack and repel attacks with great effect, slashing through tough defence with ease and provide some close-combat cover. <Vibrating Blade> skill allowed Nana to cut though armours precisely, but she would need to combine it with Force Art – Magic Hand to avoid passing the vibrating movement to her entire body.

Lulu’s accuracy was improved greatly by passive common skill <Accuracy> and rare skill <Marksmanship>. Able to perform better magic control and projectile control skills, Lulu can now shoot at any angle and perform last minute change of trajectory. As long as the angle is not too severe, the projectile momentum can still be maintained. Lulu is running and jumping while shooting accelerated rifles on both hands. The projectile used is orichalcum alloy designed for toughness with holy charge. Lulu always shifts her projectiles to hit spots that can incapacitate, but her opponents avoided them with <Flickering Movement> and <Ground Shrink>. The projectile also occasionally reflected to Lulu or her allies, so Lulu has to be cautious. Lulu was especially good at spotting Tama hiding in the shadow.

Mia summons Garuda and Behemoth. All level 1 elementals were also summoned (they are buffed due to Mia’s magic stat and Mia summon skills level). Mia proceeds to cast all the level 1 buff she had onto her summons. Summon skeletons reacted badly when Mia buffed Light-based magic and summon wisps become weaken when getting Shadow-based magic. Mia cast flexible shields on all her summons and have them distract the <confused> opponent or attack them. Both Garuda’s Air magic and Behemoth’s Earth magic were so powerful but Hikaru was able to drive them back with her powerful nature-enhanced magic arrows. Mia then decides to add Tiamat and Leviathan to her fighting force and also create a large pool of water for the Tiamat and Leviathan to swim in. Mia then equipped her sun orb wand with magic edge and uses it like a short sword and cast sword skills with it, while also playing her leaf flute with a soothing melody to calm its listener.

Sera utilize her Holy and Light magic to confuse and dispel the <confused> state imposed onto Hikaru, Tama, and Pochi. Sera’s <Dispel> was extremely potent by herself, but it wasn’t able to dispel the strange condition imposed onto her friends. Sera urgently communicate through <Tactical Talk> and instructed the unaffected girls to synchronize with her and cast ritual <Dispel> focused on single target for maximum effect. The girls bought enough time, with Liza, Nana, Karina, and Lulu that has lower talent in Light magic performing their best to defend the girls while they prepare the ritual magic chantlessly.

The finished ritual <Dispel> was casted when Sera utilize one of her <Flasbang> light magic and it created a huge shockwave around a large area. The affected area even turn into a null magic area and spells can’t be casted or easily fail. However, Hikaru, Tama, and Pochi still remained in their <Charmed> state. Unknown to the girls, the action actually prevented the afflicted girls from turning into <Possessed> state, which binds the afflicted user at their soul level and will be hard pressed for a cure. Sera was very upset by the supposed spell failure as they don’t have any other means to stop the affliction except to fight till exhaustion or death. The girls tried to use as little force as possible to avoid killing or injuring too badly the afflicted girls, as they are innocent. Sera then created a Sanctuary zone in Desert subspace. This however, wasn’t able to alleviate the symptom.

Sistina’s automaton golem has systematically <Heal> the girls, <Repair> their damaged kin, defend the injured and move them to safety, and also attacked with automated gun and three Damnation cannons. They were equipped with short-range teleport for extra protection. Sistina reconfigure her defence automaton to launch nets made of orichalcum and mithril alloy and weight bolas enchanted with minor <Gravity>. While holding the affected girls down with the nets, the space was enclosed with octagonal energy field enforced by space magic, while Sera then cast her <Erase Evil Effect> spell onto Hikaru. However, these were broken by Hikaru’s holy sword and the spell was not effective.

Hikaru’s perspective.

“What is currently happening?” muttered Hikaru in her mind. Everything is hazy after she began attacking Lulu. Lulu is acting suspicious and the girls in Desert subspace are acting beyond bounds and start utilizing Core-chan for their greed. But her mind keep hearing lofty whispers and she felt that following it is the most natural thing to do. Evidence proved the girls are wrong, so she felt what she did was right. Lulu cleverly used the chopping board to guard what would be a fatal move and propel her body inside Desert subspace prove her point that she is guilty of her crime and is a crafty coward who now run to get reinforcement. Hikaru prepares herself with her best equipment, Nanashi’s armour and cape, wands, and sword equipped. She invokes Claimh Solais’ holy verse and equip herself with flexible shield and magic swords for maximum effectiveness before entering the Desert subspace. In the subspace, Hikaru sensed that Lulu must have gathered the girls and are now hiding to ambush her, as there is nobody at the entrance. “No mercy for those who oppose Ichirou-nii”, “All the girls is now our enemies since they want to backstab Ichirou-nii”, “Ah, but two of them are now at our side”, Hikaru heard these soft mumbles.

Hikaru operates her magic control to detect their location, when suddenly she was encased in a white space and lost vision of the desert. Inside this white space, Hikaru can be subjected to multiple types of attacks, especially space magic. Hikaru quickly operate her mana and magic to prepare her sword to intercept and counter space magic with < Break Magic>. She broke out from the <Maze> and dash towards the girls with <Flickering Movement> and <Ground Shrink> since the girls are at a location far away from the portal.

Hikaru thought of distracting the girls while her two allies that just awoken attack the girls from behind, so she split herself into 5 clones to maximize combat power while provide distraction. She and her clones recited Claiomh Solais holy verse and the sword split into 13 floating blades. In the midst of the girls’ battle preparation, Tama and Pochi ‘awakened’ attacked the strongest available.

“I will judge them later, but for now, they are on my side” whisper the lofty voice in Hikaru’s mind. Hikaru decide that the time they are distracted is the best time to strike, since she was outnumbered. She will strike at their vital points and at their head, dealing killing blow, but she don’t understand why she had such notion. When Nana (aided by pierce resist and bleeding resist) and Liza (lost her tail and right arm) was attacked ad flung into the air, Hikaru and one of her clone slash at their throat. Nana managed to shield against the attack, and Zena managed to block Hikaru clone’s fatal attack with magic short sword, but got brutally stabbed by the overwhelming number of floating holy sword.

“That’s for defying Ichirou-nii” said the voice in Hikaru’s head. She doesn’t like violence, but the lofty voice convince her that it is necessary, reminding her of the old days when some of her decision to leave traitors alive results in catastrophe later. Arisa with he space magic <Space Cutter> broke several of the Claiomh Solais copies, and Mia strong summons made it in time to deflect the attacks. Arisa’s short-range teleport moved Nana and Liza to safety while Tama and Pochi are attacking Liza to eliminate her first. Sera managed to regroup and healed Liza’s severed arm and tail. Things don’t bode well for Hikaru if the girls managed to regain composure, so she attack any weak spot in the group. Lulu was weak in close combat so Hikaru hid three of the sword copies near Lulu and let it run amok when Lulu activated her magic shield. Hikaru invited heavy fire and ran between the girls so that she can create crossfire situation and attack the girls when they lose their attention. Liza has returned to the battlefield, Nana was employing shields with elements that can backfire the attacker, so our side is at a disadvantage. Liza seems to be in a foul mood and attacks Hikaru when there is an opening. Hikaru assess that she need to eliminate the healers and magicians first, to remove the support that keeps the battle ongoing. She managed to wound Sera and almost cut off Arisa’s wand hand, but other girls pit in and managed to heal their allies, and injure Hikaru in return. Hikaru can perform minor heal on herself but she’s not Satou, she can’t do everything alone. Hikaru felt that the girls are looking down on her even though she used to be a Hero, because they keep using petty low level spells to drag the battle, and are utilizing non-battle spells such as <Sleep>, <Lullaby>, and music or darts and bullets with sleep inducing poison and paralysis. Hikaru activated her Hero abilities to improve her combat stats. Her unique skill,  <Friendship>, was greyed out and flickering.

“No matter, I will finish off the girls before they can harm Ichirou-nii” (Hikaru)

Hikaru remembered her time playing MMORPG. AOE skills can be casted without any care for the surrounding. However, this is now reality, and she tasted this despair in her previous encounter with greater demons and Golden Wild Boar King: AEO spells kills indiscriminately. So this time, she go between the girls with <Ground Shrink>, invoke AOE spell from her repertoire, and use <Flickering Movement> when the girls block or escape to approach and cut them down with Claiomh Solais. The clones and multiple sword clones will cut them further and she will shoot out magic arrows to chase the girls when they managed to teleport or put some distance between them. Hikaru was inwardly surprised she has was able to use Fire Magic (level 7), but it fells so natural to her. By using knowledge in programming, Hikaru opened the source code and combined a portion of Fire Magic with a part of <Detection> spell, and created a <Personnel Mines> spell. Hikaru raise its mastery to level 6 by allocating points and lay out the new spell en masse wherever she goes. The resulting AOE damage from triggered mines made teleporting dangerous and break many magic shields, exposing the girls to attack from the flying blades and clones attack. Hikaru was satisfied with the result and proceed to bring down Arisa and Sera, but Liza and Nana keep getting in the way. Pochi and Tama are not properly distracting them, thought Hikaru. This unbearable feeling caused Hikaru to feel angrier with the girls, and something seems to take over her body. The girls started to group together, so Hikaru decides to damage them all together with AOE skills. The girls persist, and somehow the angry possession feeling reduced when the girls cast ritual magic <Dispel> on her.  Hikaru begin to struggle in her mind to shrug off the strange feeling that still controlling her, but it soon return, and Hikaru felt compelled to attack the girls again. She operated her magic to spread her <Personnel Mines> around and use her floating magic swords and clones to attack the girls, hitting their magic shields and summons left and right, while avoiding Lulu’s bullet and magic attacks from the girls, or blocking them with her flexible shields. Her mana is getting lesser and lesser as the war of attrition goes by, as she can’t always get sufficient mana with <Mana Drain>. Hikaru felt the scene in front of her surreal and she view it like a third person perspective, as if she is just a spectator. The girls are now working in coordinated manner and their skills seem to have improved. Sera’s continuous <Flashbang> blinding attack made Hikaru obtain <Light Resistance> (minor)(level 1), and obtained minor resistance against the blindness. Sistina’s golem managed to pin Hikaru down for a moment, but she managed to break free with the blue light emitted from her body. Holy Light coated Hikaru and Sera’s spell <Erase Evil Effect> was not effective in expelling what was controlling Hikaru. Knowing that the girls are wearing down on Hikaru, she started to unleash more dire spells and her life force begins to shave away.

Pochi and Tama perspective

Pochi’s mind suddenly went blank. Pochi just can remember that she is hearing voices telling her to hit her enemies. Pochi was confused. I can’t find anyone familiar. All around her is dangerous-looking monsters. An ugly looking corpse with a large shield in front. Pochi swing her <Vorpal Strike> attack and perform a <Piercing Strike> desu. Pochi saw Tama. This must means we have been teleported to another strange place again. The corpse person still doesn’t die. Pochi wants to try out her new skill, and activated <Nanodesu>. Great power coursing through Pochi’s body, and Pochi attack the corpse person together with Tama. Pochi also saw a small undead dragon-person holding a white pole coming here, so Pochi uses Magic Edge Cannon on the dragon-person desu, but dragon person also fire back using Magic Edge Cannon twice and cancel out the attack. Impossible, only Liza-san can can do such powerful Magic Edge Cannon, but the person is not Liza-san. Pochi can hear a fluffy sounding voice telling Pochi to help Tama and Hikaru defeat enemies that appear in Desert subspace. This time, Pochi will show her peerless fearless and get Master to pet me a lot desuyo.

Tama can smell delicious food and her vision clouded. Tama was stopped by a lizard-looking monster, so she just felt like attacking it with her twin dragontooth dagger. Tama successfully cut off lizard monster’s tail and arm, good. Tama saw Pochi. Tama the big sister will protect her little sister Pochi. Tama is a good big sister. Demon-san carrying big shield is aiming big sword at Pochi. Tama can sense danger in that sword, must not touch it. Tama uses the shadow to carry Pochi away before their blades touch. Tama warned Pochi of the danger in Demon-san’s blade, which Pochi couldn’t understand. Tama sneak into the shadows and continuously attack the monsters from blind spots, but each time a bipedal cow wearing maid uniform is able to detect and snipe at her. She detects a bag that emits nice smell and decides to go after it with shadow. From Lulu’s perspective, Tama is sneaking out dried octopus pickled with salt from Lulu’s food bag. Lulu keeps spotting Tama popping out from her shadow and direct some shots made of orichalcum cartridges filled with sleep-inducing powder. Pochi noticed that Tama is in trouble, so she returns fire with Magic Edge Cannon at Lulu that now looks like a bipedal monster. Lulu used <Flash Step> to avoid the attacks and recast <Mirage> and <Hide Presence>.

Lulu noticed that Hikaru could stop even space magic and inquire Arisa about it. Arisa said that Satou and Hikaru used a magic that can break spell skill of another system, <Break Magic>. Lulu suggests that they use <Dispel> ritual magic and <Break Magic> together.

Sera and other girls agreed to the plan, with Sera deciding to cast <Erase Evil Effect> after aiding the ritual <Dispel>. Sera cast her <Flashbang> towards Hikaru in quick succession and ran away from the AOE attacks. Sistina sacrificed her defence golem to cast a wall of shield around the girls that are preparing for ritual magic <Dispel>. The need for concentration is high because each girls need to tune their power accordingly due to each girls have different magic power and talent. Arisa and Mia coordinated the magic this time to obtain better result for the dispel magic.

Zena with her all-rounded ability really shines here after obtaining many new skills and passive skills. She launched her favourite skill <Air Hammer> to knockback Hikaru and Pochi. Tama then coordinated with Hikaru and Pochi to launch attack from the shadows, which Sera has been trying to negate with her <Flashbang> skill. Zena’s <Wind Stilettos> and <Heavy Air Wall> attack and defend at the same time, provide the girls with much needed time, leaving only Liza to frontal assault and Nana can concentrate her Nature Magic <Break Magic>, with Liza supplying her magic support too with newly acquired skills. Zena and Arisa summons all type of dragon elements and golems, to be used as makeshift physical defence, on top of Mia’s summon specialist. They were buffed with magical reinforcements and defence. Hikaru, Tama, and Pochi concentrated their attack and tried to siege through the makeshift barricade of summons, and when they made it through, they were caught by surprise.

Arisa, Mia (nature magic level 1) and Nana activated <Mana Drain> onto the confused girls to drain away the little mana left on them after the attack, then cast <Neutral Magic> (level 1) on them to disable teleport. Sera’s <Flashbang> and <Light Elemental> summon was properly angled to minimize shadow formation, thus disabling Tama’s Shadow portal ninjutsu. The <Neutral Magic> zone has spread near Arisa and girls so they launch the ritual magic <Dispel>, and Arisa, Mia, and Nana launched <Break Magic> on the confused girls, with Sera and Zena launching <Erase Evil Effect> right after. Mia’s four large summons then proceeds to pin them down. Hikaru, Tama, and Pochi manage to regain themselves for a short moment and shouted due to the rough treatment, before succumbing again to confused state.

Hikaru, Tama, and Pochi noticed that they couldn’t use skills anymore due to the lack of mana. Their physical strength was exhausted and they can’t push away the heavy weight bearing down on them. They are prepared to shave away their life and waste it all away to inflict maximum casualties before they expire, which send the unaffected girls to panic. Liza, Sistina, Mia, and Lulu started to clutch their head as they are starting to have their status change to <Confused>. Nana and Karina was faring better because of Nana’s new resistance to all and Karina’s artifact, Raka, was able to regulate mind effect to a certain extend as long as they are equipped.

“You just have to make your entry at this time huh, knight in shining armour” said Arisa frustrated after sensing a disturbance in space.

Satou arrived in the Desert subspace, disable Hikaru, Pochi, and Tama with hundreds of <Remote Stun> (no damage), greeted all the girls, and dropped a succubus on the ground. He points out that the succubus is the cause of the trouble the girls are facing.

“Those affected by the curse might suffer irreversible mental injury if we leave them too long in that state” said Satou

Satou mold some divinity on his right arm, then inserts it slowly into Hikaru’s heart, and pulls out a black carrion with purple ominous aura. He then used <Calm Field>, <Break Magic>, <Erase Evil Effect>, <Greater Heal>, and  <Purification> to heal the affected her. Satou then repeat the same to Pochi and Tama but found no black carrion. Satou then crushed the black carrion’s head and places it into Storage for analysis later. Satou use map and scan the surrounding for those affected by the same curse. Map was unable to detect those afflicted by the curse, so Satou combined his divinity with Holy and <Detection> magic to find the people infected or afflicted with the curse. Satou found that the curse has spread like virus around the vicinity. Satou then cast <Calm Field>, < Break Magic>, <Erase Evil Effect>, <Greater Heal>, <Purification>, and <Purification Virus> while injecting little divinity into his spells to clear the affected and afflicted people in the area around Desert subspace. After making sure that there is no more evil presence with <Evil Perception>, Satou treat Hikaru especially with a large dose of Elixir Rev 2, followed by Tama and Pochi, then all the other girls that got injured in the incident. I gave it mouth-to-mouth to Hikaru, Tama, and Pochi secretly since they fainted, but the girls noticed it and demand they all get a mouth-to-mouth too.  I don’t particularly hate it, but it is troublesome for my heart.

“Sorry for being late. This succubus managed to dig a hole to the volcanic crater and caused lava to spill out from outside the protection of the labyrinth” said Satou.

That night,  Satou have to sleep with Hikaru, Pochi, and Tama. Satou whispered soothingly to their ears. For Hikaru, he said “Hikaru is a good girl. It was my mistake”, to Pochi “Pochi is a good girl”, and to Tama “Tama is a good girl”. Hikaru’s sad face went blush and she curls herself up and hide under the blanket, and Satou continues persuade her with kind words and feed her favourite food on his lap when she refuse to eat.

Pochi’s ears curl down when Satou whisper to her and she cried a lot. She even ignored her favourite meat dish, and Satou fed her on his lap after serving Hikaru.

Tama’s ears flutter uncontrollably when Satou whisper to her. She curls up into a ball and hide under the bed sheets. Satou rubs her chin continuously and she will open her mouth for Satou to feed her.

These continue for 3 days before they managed to overcome their trauma of hurting their friends.

Arisa, Mia, Sera, and even Lulu was extremely peeved and protested that they suffered too.

Arisa and Sera was verbal about it, and Mia sits on Satou’s lap in a cuddle position while repeatedly saying “Satou is unfair. You didn’t treat me kindly. Not good you know, not good”. Lulu used her eyes and expression to look sadly at Satou when he treats the Hikaru, Pochi, and Tama favourably. Satou somehow felt that Lulu is more endearing lately, hope that Lulu can spare him from his heart fluttering.

A long night was spent talking and explaining the entire situation, with Arisa apologizing for failing to include Hikaru in the group activity in Dejima and Tama and Pochi explaining their end of the story. Succubus-san was locked in an enclosed space prison at satellite orbit for questioning. Satou commended the bravery of the girls and how strong they are from the video playback of cameras installed at several places in the Desert subspace. Arisa is not amused. “This is a blunder on the security of my home”, thought Satou as he reconfigures the safety and security of Solitary Island and everything within.

Arisa and Lulu both requested that Satou do what he did to Core 2-chan during Dejima incident and repeat it daily for several minutes. Satou show a slightly red face, but asked why do he need to do so. Arisa explained some of her circumstances earlier, and Satou ruffled Arisa’s stylish grandma hair, then answered “Ok, why not”. Arisa totally misunderstood Satou and fainted from blood rush. Lulu turned her head away and squealed. Satou was confused, but did not inquire further. Since then, the girls wake up every morning to the call of Core 2-chan.

Later, Satou create accessories for all the girls that can protect against mind magic and infection attacks so that they can wear it all the time.
