Chapter 19 – Too Many Plot Hooks!!!

Monday Morning, 7:00 AM, May 1st, 2056 - Kitinara Compound

I woke with a pleased sigh. I was laying naked in Hime's bed and surrounded by warm fluffiness. Azuza, my newly minted Godly Wife, was curled up on my side with her head laying on my chest. Her golden fox ears twitched adorably with each of my exhalations and her long golden tails were wrapped around our bodies like a blanket. 

'Oh sure. I can't touch them, but you can touch me with them just fine. Makes perfect fucking sense.'

My pouting over missing the fluffiness done, I lean down and kiss her forehead lovingly. Surprisingly, my dragon's pride didn't trigger last night, so it was a rather tame affair...for me at least. Her having 30 orgasms and myself having 12 seemed reasonable, right? We even stopped at 1 AM to just cuddle and enjoy some pillow talk. She asked me about the harem and I explained it, the rules, and about the members...She immediately requested Suki's number to set up a psych evaluation...

Azuza was a fully accredited therapist with a doctorate in Family Counseling. In fact, she held several degrees in all things therapy and psychology. This was going to be insanely useful for the future and I plan to make once-a-month visits with her mandatory. I have no illusions of talking the crazy out of my fiances, but maybe they could, ya know...chill? Like, just for a bit? That would be awesome. 

'One can always dream. It is important to shoot for the stars...Then again...Shit in one hand, dream in the other and see which fills up first...'

Hime starts waking as I continue to lavish her with small kisses. A hand is placed onto my head and I am shoved back rather roughly.

"...Sleeping. Go away." Hime mumbles tiredly.

"Well, I never!" I say in mock outrage, "To think this is how my wife would treat me. Clearly, the honeymoon phase is already over...Oh, what is to become of this poor soul..." I finish dramatically, looking to the side and hiding my smile.

Azuza looks up at me, groggily, lifts up her body, kisses me on the lips, then flops back down saying,

"Good morning, drama queen. I love you. Now, go away. I am still sleeping."

"Fine, fine. I need to swing by home before school anyway...Any chance I will slip by without anyone noticing?" I ask, tilting my head in thought.

"No, there is actually a negative percent chance of that happening."

"How the hell would that even work?" I ask quizically.

"...Dunno...sleepy..." My Godly Wife yawns and says, nestling herself on me again.

I smirk.

'Fine, let's see how you like this!'

I teleport away from her and to the side of the bed so that I could collect my clothes and, I kid you not, I hear a warning growl come from Hime. I pause and look over at my now glaring fox wife. 

"You stole my warmth." She says with hurt and anger in her eyes.

"Poor baby. Looks like you will need to use the blanket like a normal person." I say in mock understanding and sympathy.

She growls again, before giving up and flopping face down after pulling the comforter over herself. I finish getting dressed in last night's clothes...and instantly regret it as I now feel gross and sticky. I need a shower. 

I pull back the blankets enough to kiss Azuza's forehead goodbye again and she quickly reaches out to pull my face to hers so we can share a deep kiss. When we part, she looks up at me with a light of remembrance flashing behind her eyes. 

"In 2 weeks, there is the Anual Beastkin Conference. It will be held on a Saturday, so it shouldn't get in the way of your schooling, and I will need you to be available to go with me. All patriarchs or matriarchs of the major clans and their partners will be in attendance...This will be the first year I have brought my husband in over 300 years. I am very excited to show you off~" She explains with a purr to her voice. "The others can come as well, if they want, but we need to head to Belgium for the Conference in 2 weeks. Can you promise me that?"

"Sure," I answer simply with a smile as I brush my hand through her hair. "I have no plans and making plans with my beautiful wife sounds great. Plus, I think we all could use a vacation...There is no way the others are letting us go alone, by the way..."

"I know, I know. You are marrying a whole bunch of mentally unstable women with deep obsession issues. I...I need to get used to this." She says with a sigh of resignation. 

'You act like you are not one as well.' I think.

"You act like you are not one as well," I say, without thinking.

She pins me with a glare. "I told you, I am not a Yandere."

"Sure, babe. See you later, okay?" I answer with a patient and accepting smile.

"Zeneff! I mean it! I am not a-"

I teleport back home, hiding my smirk as I do one of my favorite things in this new world. 

* | * | *

I teleport into my room back at home...only for a lot of people to yell all at once.

"He's here!" (Diana)

"Start the sealing array!" (Sophia)

"Aw...I thought I was the one who was supposed to get chained up..." (Suki)

"God he reeks...maybe we should wait until after he has a shower?" (Ares)

"He needs to pay for what he has done! *Giggle*" (Samantha)

"Master, we need to have a long discussion." (Aki)

'Nah. I'm good right now, thanks!' 

"He's gonna teleport again, Samantha sto-"

I teleport to my mom's house. I need a shower and it might as well be there. I think I left a spare set of school clothes here as well. If not...well I can always illusion it on. 

'Before you judge me, yes! I will be talking with them and working it out, later tonight, but if I would have stayed then I wouldn't have gotten to school today. Not with that lot...And I am excited to get back to some semblance of normalcy...even if it is only a pointless illusion of normalcy.'

* | * | *

After a shower in my room at Tiamat's mansion, I step out and find, with relief, that I did indeed have a spare set of school clothes here. In fact, I had 3 sets of each of the summer and winter uniforms. I stick to the summer one, as the weather is great, minus the humidity (Which I totally cheat and magic away anyway). 

When I step out of the bathroom, fully dressed, I am greeted by Tiamat in her business casual getup that I saw on my first day here. She sits on the edge of my bed, inspecting her nails with a thoughtful expression. 

"Good morning, Zeneff." She says simply.

"Good morning...Goddess Tiamat." I say with a bow, deciding to drop all pretense. We both know I am not her son.

She flashes me a predatory smile. "Aw, you don't want to play mommy and son any longer? That is a shame. I was looking forward to some roleplay..."

I smile at her patiently and say nothing. 

*Sigh* "Relax. I won't make this awkward for you. I am not here for that, yet....though that is what I am here to discuss with you." She says, turning her full attention to me. "I received an oracle that a Pantheon of 13 Gods and Goddesses are coming to wage war in the Astral Plane. Apparently, allying with Samantha and our aggressive expansion towards a meeting place has been met with more hostility than I had originally thought. I will need to push our timetables up a bit so that my army is ready." She says flashing a dangerous smile. She stands and moves over to me with slow, purposeful movements.

I don't move an inch, like a mouse that caught the attention of a tiger. She moves up right in front of me, her smile growing more and more predatory the closer she gets. 

When she reaches me, she pulls my chin up in one fluid movement and steals a quick kiss from my lips, then whispers in my ear while I am still in shock from the action. "This weekend. Sunday. We will dedicate the entire next week to it. Prepare yourself."

"As you will, my Goddess," I say and kneel before her. 

'Okay, now that we got the whole mother and son thing worked out...Hell yes I am gonna smash. She is ridiculously hot and the dragon in me is practically frothing at the mouth at the thought of all that carnal attention. Besides, I already mentioned divine magic being all fuck-ie. No reason to tempt fate. Might as well enjoy this beautiful MILF, pun intended, with no strings attached. If I am going to do it whether I like it or not, I might as well like it.'

She rolls her eyes and sighs, "Get up. You will be a general in this coming war. It is time for you to learn mastery over war and, besides, It will be good training for you to be active on both the Astral Plane and the Mortal one at the same time." She explains and pulls me into a hug.

"How about we start as friends with benefits for now, and see where it goes. I will warn you, however, I have no intention of joining your harem...Whether I claim you for my own or not is yet to be seen. Your performance next week and in the war will be graded, you could say."

'Fuck...Does that mean I should do well or poorly to avoid that end? I mean, it isn't like I can do a shit job and expect to live through it anyway...'

"Alright, I would enjoy being your friend, Tiamat. I will do my best for you." I say with a smaller bow after exiting the hug.

She smirks again, "You better. I expect you to beat your record with Diana at the very least. Oh, and good work with the fox. When you are stronger, Samantha and I will join your pantheon as well. It will be nice to be one big happy family...That is what you always wanted, right Mark?"

I look at her in shock.

'How much of my mind can she read?...'

"As much as I wish to." She answers out loud, her smirk turning feral. "Thanks for all the compliments about my body, by the way."

With one last peck on the cheek, she turns and leaves my room and I take a deep breath as the weight of the conversation lands on me.

'Fuck. I don't even want to attempt to break that all down...She reserved me...for the entire next week. I...I think I need to prepare myself for this...Should I look into magical Viagra?'

Monday Morning, 7:45 AM, May 1st, 2056 - Himitsu Academy Entrance

I appear in one of the rooms designated for teleportation near the entrance for the school. For obvious security reasons, there were no such rooms on the school grounds, so I take a leisurely walk towards the school gate. I arrive and am greeted by one of the teachers with a nod. He is a mundane and so he shows no deference the way magical teachers would. Most normal teachers and students just think my relatives are on the board of directors or something, so treat myself and Diana quite well. 

I walk through the gates and appreciate the lines of Sakura trees still in bloom. They are beautiful and this walk is very relaxing for my soul. I take a deep breath and enjoy the sweet scent from the flowers and flowering trees nearby. The warmth from the sun offers me a comfortable temperature and a pleasant wind blows through my hair. 

I feel the eyes of several students on me, but I ignore them. I need to learn to enjoy peaceful moments like this, for they are much too few and far between these days. I hum the classic "Let It Be" and continue my walk with a small smile on my face.

Of course, the world chooses this moment to ruin my good mood. Who has ever heard of an anime setting where the people of the setting get to live peacefully?  

I sense 8 auras bloom. 6 are weak, weaker than most of my harem, one is at about the same level as Hagi, Diana, & Suki, and the last is absolutely overbearing. If it wasn't for the last one, I would have ignored it, but that aura screams, "I will kill all in my path!"

I turn invisible and sprint around the building to the back of the school where I sense the auras. Before I can even get there, which at my speed would only take 20 seconds max, the 6 weaker auras vanish. At the same time, the 1 stronger aura diminishes greatly and the enormous one grows to Godly levels...

'No, that is actually the aura of a God. Or something stronger. Great.'

I arrive at the spot of the disturbance, or below it to be more precise, and see 6 broken and mangled bodies lying on the ground...like...like they have been thrown off of a tall heigh-

"Ah, Zeneff. Good. Please take care of cleaning up this trash for me. They seem to have plans for Asuda-kun, but I am far too invested in him to let them have their way. We had a...disagreement, but I think they understand my feelings much better now. And, don't catch her. Let it be a warning." A girl says from the roof of the nearby building. 

When I look up to the roof 3 stories away, I notice a completely average teenager's outline in the new day's sun...and fathomless black eyes staring down at me. 

'Fucking fucks! Who was stupid enough to piss off a Cosmic Entity? Are they trying to get themselves removed from all realities at once!?! Fucking morons.'

"Yes, of course, I would be happy to assist you...Ah...Forgive me. I am not aware of my lady's magnificent name. Would you be so kind as to bestow it upon this unworthy dragon?" I ask in my best ass kissing voice. Even with my new Godly powers, she outclasses me by several hundred times. Not as much as Samantha, but she is stronger than Tiamat, for sure. 

"Hmm...I think not. You may be a God, but my real name is a horror that would ruin your fragile mind...Still, you are doing me a service, so you may know the name I choose to go by in this form. Shina Hakari. I leave the rest to you." She says and tosses the limp form of the 2nd strongest person I sensed.

I close my eyes and wince as I hear the thud and squish that follows. Luckily, this woman is not human so she should be fine...probably. I open one eye and see another broken and mangled pile added to the others. I look up to the roof but Hakari-sama (100% going with sama) is gone. 

Sighing in relief, I wave my hand to heal the seven kids before me but pause when I notice their bodies already healing on their own at a visible rate. Especially the one who was just thrown off the building. Her blood is being sucked back into her body quickly and her bones snap back into place audibly. 

'Hmm...Blood Demons? Vampires? Not sure. I am not really all that familiar with Demons. They always avoid me.'

I walk over to the group and give them a magical boost to their vitality that sees their bodies heal much quicker. The woman, who I realize is our school's Student Council President, gasps and jumps up quickly, taking a fighting pose. We stare at each other for several seconds before she seems to recognize me and...falls to her knees in placation.

"Maou-sama! I apologize for you seeing me in such an unsightly state. We were attacked by an unknown person and were not strong enough to defeat them. Now that you are here, however, maybe you could aveng-"

"Stop," I say quietly, but with a wave of power that forces her to the ground again. "First off, I am not the Demon Lord. My wife, Sophia, is. Consider this your only warning, as such a careless mistake will not be tolerated again. Secondly, do you have any idea who you challenged, you foolish child?"

"But...Sophia is a worthless pawn! All of demonkind knows that without your strength, she wouldn't have become Demon Lord. Please, Sir, with your power, surely, you could assist-"

I am usually not one to get angry, but at that moment, I was furious. Honestly, I couldn't tell you what happened next, as all I saw was red and let the dragon in me loose, but suddenly I was surrounded by most of my wives. They were tugging on my arms and bodily securing me in place. Samantha's tentacles were wrapped around me like a vice and I could not move at all. Hagiwara, Diana, and Suki were rubbing my arms and face lovingly while whispering soothing words, clearly trying to coax me back to my senses. My arms were transformed into massive silver claws and the Student Council President was laying on the ground in front of me...Or at least, what was left of her was. She was cut into a bloody pile of chunks no bigger than a yen coin in size. Like I somehow put her body through a blender. Ew. 

"Zeneff, calm. Calm down, Please? It is alright. I am here and love that you would defend me so. I will deal with her. Please go to class. We will meet up soon." Sophia says, petting the side of my head lovingly and kissing me softly.

I am not sure what face I was making, but she flinched when she saw it, and that, more than anything, brought me back.

"Fine. But if I see her again, I am going to destroy her and her entire bloodline." I say with a huff and allow Hagi, Diana, & Suki to herd me towards the classroom. 

I notice that several windows in the school are broken. This was just fixed! Who the hell broke them already? I tilt my head quizzically and Diana laughs.

"You roared." She states simply. "It was so loud that we heard it back at the manor."

'Oh. Okay, yeah I guess that makes sense. Me letting loose and yelling one word in my dragon form was super destructive. I guess my human form is less so, but still powerful. Maybe I did it towards the sky since there are no craters anywhere?'

"Seeing you all protective like that was pretty hot." She continues with a giant smile.

"Samantha explained what happened," Hagi says at my confused look. I had no idea how they even knew I was there, let alone how the fight broke out. "You should have seen how touched Sophia was. She was nearly in tears for a second."

"Well...I just don't like people talking bad about you all. I would have done it for any of you." I say with an awkward laugh.

They lean in and kiss me in sync. "And we love you all the more for it. You may have some Yandere tendencies yourself, my love." Suki quips and smirks at me. 

I follow them back to the classroom and, due to my memory fuckery earlier, no one even bats an eye with how the three women act around me. 

A little while later Sophia arrives and immediately tackles me into a deep and passionate kiss. I am embarrassed, being at school and all, but no one even notices us, so it should be fine. She says nothing but just smiles at me with tears and affection in her eyes. It is clear that me defending her honor meant a lot. 

"So, what happened?" I ask her.

"Their entire coven has been banished. If they are not out of the city by the end of the day, then our forces will hunt them down and kill them to the last. I have already passed along word to mom and dad." She explains, still with a happy smile on her face, despite the content of her words.

'Good. This town doesn't need people around who would go and piss off a Cosmic Entity. For my sanity and safety's sake!'

We all talk for a bit longer until the school day starts at 8:30 AM sharp. Diana and Suki head back to their class a few minutes before and promise to be back at lunch. 

'Not like the others will let me go anywhere anyways.' I pout to myself.

"Alright class, I have some announcements to make." Our teacher, Sasumi-sensei, says with an awkward smile. "First off...I have been informed that our entire student council has been expelled. I know this is a bit of a shock, but the school has already chosen a replacement, so don't worry. Congratulations Silverscale-kun! You have been chosen as the new Student Council President."

'What!?!' 

"Congratulations to Hagiwara-chan for becoming the Vice-President and to Sophia-chan who has become the Student Council Treasurer."

'Excuse me!?!'

Polite claps and congratulations greet my dumbfounded expression. 

"Now, for the next announcement, we have some exciting news!" Here, she goes outside and brings in two people. The first is a blue-haired, short girl who looks to be mid-argument with another girl in a boy's uniform who looks oddly familiar... Before I can ponder on this more, Sasumi-sensei continues, "This is Ria-chan and...Hikaru-kun!" She says with a strained smile.

Hagi and I shoot bolt upright at this announcement and the now alive...but somehow clearly female...Hikaru-kun glares at me.

"There was a horrible mix-up at the hospital that resulted in him being reported dead. Isn't it wonderful that he is still alive? As you can see, Hikaru-kun was put under the wrong surgery and mistakenly turned into a girl. He is very much alive and is currently working on reversing the sex change surgery he underwent...Please be kind to him as this is an uncomfortable topic."

'Okay, Stop. What the fuck!?! He is alive!?! And...a woman now!?! What? Just...Just what!?!'

"Ria-chan is an exchange student from Norway and will be joining us until our graduation next year! Isn't that exciting?"

The room was in chaos. Students standing and screaming out words of disbelief, confusion, and shock. I was in no better state.

'Okay...so then...I just...I am...'

'WHAT THE FUCK!?!'
