Hero Of Harmony

Pulling the carriage through the streets, which were decently empty as it was early in the morning, Yuki walked beside the carriage while Michelle, Chloe, and Lazuli sat on the front seats as I pulled it; Talis, on the other hand, was flying above like usual.

It's been a few days since I received my gold coins from Kurama, and right now, we were heading towards our new and official home, one that we had intended to stay in for a very long time. Michelle and I had gone searching for houses almost immediately when I returned to the Inn from Kurama's office, and although it took a few days to find the perfect house, we weren't in a rush anymore since we had plenty of money for the Inn.

Still, we eventually found our desired house, and I didn't hesitate to buy it outright, which turned into a lengthy process of four hours as I spoke with a real estate manager; they were called something else in this world, but they held the same exact job so the name didn't really matter.

As of right now, only Michelle and I know what the house looks like, and I've refused to tell anyone since I wanted it to be a surprise, especially for Yuki since I had her in mind while we searched for the right house.

'Heh, speaking of surprise.' Mused Alexander with a faint smirk as he turned down a minor road laced with houses on either side.

After a few more minutes of walking, I made a left turn and came to an immediate halt in front of the corner house, which was slightly taller than most of the other houses.

"Michelle, can you help me?" Asked Alexander as he glanced at Michelle while pointing to the closed gate, causing her to nod while she carefully hopped off the carriage.

Once Michelle opened the gate, I promptly pulled the carriage into the front yard, which was about the same size as our previous house, so it wasn't anything special, just barely big enough to comfortably fit the carriage.

"Is this it?" Asked Yuki curiously as she gazed at the house before looking between Michelle and Alexander while both smiled with a nod.

"Yep, and I'm sure you'll love it; Alexander put a lot of thought into the search just for you." Said Michelle with a smile as she reached into her pocket and grabbed the keys to the house while Yuki's expectations grew.

"Hey! Don't go and tell her my secrets." Said Alexander with a slight pout as he stared at Michelle while assisting Chloe and Lazuli down the carriage.

Approaching the front door, I gave Yuki's muscular butt a nice slap, though before I could give Michelle one, she turned around and faced me, causing me to click my tongue as I snatched the keys out of her hands, only after giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"I hope the inside is huge so I can play with Talis!" Stated Chloe excitedly as she stared at the house before raising her head and looking at Talis, who descended towards them.

"Ouch! Watch where you land, stupid bird." Said Yuki in annoyance as she glared at Talis, who perched herself right on her shoulder.

"Alright, calm down, you two." Said Alexander lightly as he grabbed the door handle and inserted the key, only to smirk and open the tall door.

Once the door to the house was open, I stood beside it and was about to bow, but I couldn't even get halfway before Chloe bolted into the house, causing me to chuckle, though it turned into a wince when I noticed the dirt she tracked onto the floors.

"A-After you ladies." Said Alexander with a wry smile as he bowed towards Yuki, Michelle, and Lazuli, prompting them all to enter.

"Huh, the door is tall enough for me to enter without hunching." Muttered Yuki lightly with a raised eyebrow as she entered the house while Alexander followed right behind her.

Closing the door behind me, I walked down the front hall and entered the living room, where Chloe was currently running around while giggling to herself. Yuki and Lazuli were taking their time to explore the house while Michelle was trying to clean up the mess Chloe made; giving her butt a nice slap, causing her to lightly squeal while I continued on like nothing happened and approached Yuki.

"The kitchen is so large; you should be able to make a whole bunch of tasty dishes, Alex." Said Yuki excitedly with a smile as she observed the large kitchen, which was even bigger than their previous one, causing Alexander to smirk.

"Heh, the kitchen was one of the few things on the top of the list for our perfect house. Now I'll be able to feed my little monster all the food she can possibly stuff into her stomach." Remarked Alexander with a smile as he stared at the dual stoves, ovens, and sinks before glancing at Yuki, who was giving him a frown.

"Alright, alright, I'm sorry for calling you that; I know you don't like it, but sometimes I can't help myself." Said Alexander lightly with a sigh as he gave Yuki an apologetic hug, causing her to snort, though she accepted his apology.

"Anyways, let me show you upstairs. I know for a fact you'll like it." Remarked Alexander with a smile as he grabbed Yuki's arm and forcefully led her upstairs while Lazuli, Chloe, and Michelle quietly followed behind.

Running upstairs while leading Yuki, I passed a few doors before opening the one that led to the bathroom, and I didn't even need to point it at as I saw her face light up in delight.

"M-My bathroom!?" Exclaimed Yuki in shock as she stared at the large shower while nearly crying in happiness.

"Yep. You would complain about how the bathrooms at Inns weren't able to accommodate your large, sexy size, so I figured, why not just have the exact same bathroom as the one from your house?" Remarked Alexander with a massive grin as he looked at Yuki while the others peeked from behind her large body.

I think I underestimated how annoyed Yuki was at the other bathrooms since she immediately embraced me in a hug and kissed all over my face, which I enjoyed every second of; however, things started to escalate when I felt her try to remove my pants.

"Woah, slow down, Yuki, not right now!" Stated Alexander as he pushed off Yuki with one hand while barely keeping his pants on with the other.

After finally freeing myself from her embrace, I pulled my pants back on and blankly stared at Yuki, who was giving me a pouting expression, causing me to roll my eyes, though I had to admit, she looked so freaking sexy that it easily worked on me.

"Calm down, we'll do it later; matter of fact, we can even do it in the shower; it's more than big enough to accommodate the two of us." Said Alexander with a smirk as he gently patted Yuki's hip before pulling her down and passionately kissing her.

Although she was still pouting, she nodded with a smile, prompting the two of us to leave the bathroom as we explored the second floor; granted, I already had done so.

"There are three rooms and a Master bedroom, which is where you and I will be staying. Chloe and Talis will be sharing one room, and Michelle will sleep in the room beside us." Stated Alexander lightly as he stood beside the door while Yuki walked around his and her bedroom.

"What!? I'm still sharing a room!?" Exclaimed Talis with a frown as she flapped her wings while staring at Alexander, who nodded.

"Yes, now stop crying; it's not like you need a room by yourself anyways; all you have is a hanging nest." Replied Alexander lightly as he folded his arms and eyed Talis, who chirped in annoyance though he had long since stopped listening.

"So, that means we'll have a guest room?" Asked Yuki curiously as she turned and glanced at Alexander, who awkwardly coughed before looking away, causing her a deep frown.

"Alex." Said Yuki dangerously as she approached Alexander, who winced but refused to raise his head.

"Alexander Vestalis!" Stated Yuki sternly as she stared down at Alexander, who flinched at her words before finally sighing.

"I-I can't just kick her out, Yuki. Where will she stay? How will she survive? I can't just kick her out without knowing she'll at least be somewhat safe. I-I know you hate her, and you have all the reason to, but can you really just kick her out without a second thought?" Remarked Alexander softly as he closed the doors behind him and looked up at Yuki, his gaining power the more he spoke.

"She attacked you and me shortly after we met and then nearly KILLED you, Alex! I'll gladly kick her out! Besides, she still has Soom to take care of her." Said Yuki angrily as she eyed Alexander while her muscles aggressively twitched.

"No… No, she doesn't. Soom, he's dead." Said Alexander softly, his words surprising Yuki as a large portion of her anger vanished.

"W-What do you mean? H-How did he die?" Asked Yuki in confusion as she stared at Alexander, who sighed in response while nodding.

"I-I lied about the whole thing; he was never coming back, Yuki." Replied Alexander lightly as he kept his head down, refusing to look Yuki in the eyes.
