My Journey: The Reason Why I Will Live

Varakiel: that's true….

…..

Tamamo: kahaha the aide of the monster lord a human? I can't believe they felt for that! Kahahaha~!

Tamamo was laughing loudly through the camp.

Varakiel: is really that funny to you?

Tamamo: of course~! as a master of illusions and trickery I love to trick my opponents from time to time like in the old days~! but yet tricking two queens at the same time with the same trick is an amusing history even for me kahaha~! I knew I won't be a single day bored with you varakiel~!

Varakiel: oh well you're welcome then maybe next time I will trick black Alice and promestein and la Croix jajajaja.

Tamamo: the cruelest monster lord and the 2 most brilliant minds of this world tricked by a human? Kahaha~ I would like to see that; you have to carry me when you do it.

Varakiel: of course I will take you when that time comes jejejeje.

Varakiel laugh as he caress his hands and shows a evil grin.

Tamamo: and you laugh like a trickster too I like you more now jejejeje.

Tamamo starts to laugh the same way varakiel does.

Alice: oi stop with the laugh is creepy!

….

Sylph: yaaaay! New friends

???: yaaaay!

Varakiel: hm? Who is this sylph?

Sylph: she's a mermaid I met on the beach 

Mermaid: hiiii!

The young mermaid happily waves at varakiel. Awkwardly standing up on her tail fin.

Sylph: let's go swimming!

Mermaid: okay!

The two went off to the beach and dived in.

Varakiel: be careful of sea anemones out there!

Varakiel yells to sylph and the mermaid.

….

Undine: Queen mermaid…. her behavior troubles me sometimes

Varakiel: hm? Is that so?

Undine: yeah I feel sorry for her.

Varakiel: hm? It seems you know the queen mermaid.

Undine: yes, I do, she used to visit my spring regularly, and I had been on good terms with her for a long time. This was all before she became queen, though. I haven't spoken with her since then. There was a time when she was a kind-hearted woman. Much like Erubetie and myself, though, I suppose she changed over time.

Varakiel: the death of his husband…. *sigh* seriously the humans in this world are really looking for to be killed.

Undine: and it seems you know her past…. even though is scary, is good, it seems you understand her pain.

Varakiel: mhm, losing someone you love on such an unfair way, you really wish to end with the whole world…. but that doesn't matter I am strong now, strong enough to destroy her destiny and change her future for the better.

Undine: …strong, is it? .... I guess you're right only the strong can take their future on his own hands…I just hope Laura's is doing okay for now….

Varakiel: her name is Laura? Cute.

Undine: I must say…. I am quite relived you have such crazy mind set and skills, if you weren't here the only fate the queen mermaid has would be death, that would devastate the mermaid princess and possibly worsen the relations between humans and monsters even more…but there's no point thinking about it.

Varakiel: indeed, the future for the world is bright, but as they said as the light grows brighter so does the darkness, everything will get more complicated from here on so we must prepare for that.

Undine: black Alice, promestein and la Croix, those were their names right?.... I will give everything I got to help you and luka.

Varakiel: thank you undine.

Varakiel and undine smile to each other.

Sylph: ( hey! Don't forget about us! We want to help too!)

Gnome: (.....)

Gnome nods 

Salamander: ( show me how strong you can get in the future varakiel.)

Varakiel: (hehe, I am counting on you guys.)

Undine:....

Undine nods to varakiel.

....

Salamander has a blanket around her back as she sits in front of a large fire.

Varakiel: ….. still cold?

Salamander: I hate cold water.

Varakiel: yeah I forgot about that I am sorry.

Salamander: I know it's not your fault. Doesn't mean I won't get pissed off when you do it, though.

Varakiel: don't worry there wouldn't be a need to go underwater anymore from now on…in this world at least….

Salamander:…..great, now I wonder where are you taking us…..but for now I just want to go on an inn and take long hot shower

Varakiel: hmmmm I love the image of that.

Salamander: of course you do.

Salamander grins to varakiel as a spirit with a contract with him, she can know what he is thinking and imaging.

On varakiel's mind is the image of a naked salamander with dripping-wet skin.

Undine: (pervert.)

Sylph: ( pervert!)

Gnome: (...….)

Sylph: ( she is trying to say pervert too!)

Salamander: pervert.

Varakiel: you're damn right.

…..

???: hehehe!

Varakiel: eh? A ghost?

It looks like a ghost is playing tag with gnome's mud dolls.

And gnome's just standing there, watching.

Varakiel: where did she come from?

Gnome:...…..

Gnome shrugs. It looks like she's using the mud dolls to entertain her, while studying her from afar…

Varakiel: oh well, she is having fun, just…don't let her be seen by Alice, please.

Gnome: .....

Gnome nods to varakiel

….

Alice: alright idiot, who the hell said you were my aide!.

Alice scolds varakiel harshly 

Varakiel: hehehe, don't be angry alice, it was truly necessary to do so or either things would be worse.

Alice: oh really? Explain yourself.

Varakiel: alright, you see they are labeling you as a traitor than joined humans so to counter that let's make it that a hero is actually allied with monsters, meanwhile another hero is a mediator with monsters, so they believe you are actually stealing heroes from humans rendering their rumors useless, and with me being called your aide I can retrieve the orbs easily.

Alice: but that would get things worse you idiot now they will aim at us directly due to your strength displayed.

Varakiel: none of that for anyone looking from a distance there I don't exist so pretty much if black alice was observing us it seemed like kraken did something to the orb and it got in two, to trick the monster lord than she has the true orb but she actually has a fake.

Alice:.....ohhh I get it, very clever of you indeed…but still how did you conviced them you're are my aide.

Varakiel: easy I used this!.

Varakiel took out the world guide than she gave to him before.

Alice: with that book?

Varakiel: mhm since it has the monster lord seal and the book looks so old it might seem like a forbidden book only allowed by the monster lord to be taken.

Alice:….i see, I have be more careful when lending things to you in the future.

Varakiel:aww don't be like that things are now better because of it, the mermaid queen is now on our side and kraken is alive so everything turned out good so don't worry about it.

Alice: but you don't understand you would be labeled as a traitor by humans in the future!?.

Varakiel:….oh I see so that's what is worrying you, hahaha, little alice is caring about me.

Alice: hey idiot this is a serious matter.

Varakiel:….don't worry I could care less about what people think about me I only care about all of you and no one else, to me all of you are everything I need. And besides let them think I am a traitor by the end they will see I was just protecting them from their destruction jajaja.

Alice:…fine, I will not worry about it anymore…..idiot.

Varakiel: hahaha, you're very cute alice, but anyways thank you for caring about me, I appreciate it, good night.

Alice:….good night, idiot.

The next day.

Varakiel: alright everyone next stop the purple orb, that means gold port!.

Alice: and where is the orb?

Varakiel: is should be in a pirate ship in the northeastern sea.

Granberia: they must be fierce pirates to be able to steal an orb now I am expecting them.

Varakiel: none of that they are g- I mean they are retired in a sense 

Tamamo: oh? Why that pause? Are you hiding something?

Varakiel: nope nothing at all, so just let us go!.

Tamamo: hmmmm, no I want to take it out of you.

Tamamo says with an smirk on her face.

Varakiel: chrome, nibi, luka, are you done?

Chrome: yes I am ready to leave.

Luka: yes big brother I am ready!.

Nibi: let's goooo!

Varakiel: alright everyone come together.

Everyone gets close to varakiel to teleport.

3 days later.

…..

Almost at Gold port…

Varakiel:alright it seems we are almost there sooo ummm you guys should have to wait here.

Granberia:…fine.

Varakiel:sorry.

Tamamo: jejeje you guys wish you could do this!.

Tamamo turned into a ball is in varakiel's pockets.

Nibi: that right jejeje.

Chrome: okay I will be besides sir granberia…even though she is scary sometimes.

Varakiel: don't worry she is very cool when you get to know her jajaja.

Granberia: hmph…

Alice: alright move idiots we don't have all day.

Alice already in human form said to varakiel and luka.

Luka: alright let's go big brother.

Varakiel: mhm and be careful this kind of place tend to be packed with problems just follow me and don't look to anyone directly to avoid annoyances.

Alice: fine.

Luka: okay.

Varakiel: moving out!

Varakiel, alice and luka get in gold port.

Varakiel: gold port…this used to be a large, active port town before any of us was born. And it got a lot of traffic from shops travelling between sentora and hellgondo. But then the slaughter of remina happened. And now the town has no reason to exist now than it has become hostile to the neighboring continent.

Luka: every building seems to be going to fall apart.

Varakiel: monster must be careful to not get near here as ilias kreuz is set up their headquarters here, and monsters are killed on sight.

Alice: tch.

Varakiel: I know.

Alice: this place is the worst we have been to yet, why we came here again?.

Varakiel: here is a pirate that own the ship with the purple orb on it.

Alice: hmph. Granberia has no idea how lucky she is….

Luka: you can wait with her outside of town if you want!.

Varakiel: that's true.

Alice:no! that's okay!...i'd get bored

Varakiel: good then stop complaining we will be out of here soon.

Alice: okay, but how are you going to find this pirate.

Varakiel: let's just walk around the place she will eventually appear and I will recognize her.

Luka: her? She is a woman?

Varakiel: mhm anyway let's go explore the town meanwhile.

After exploring the weapon shop 

Varakiel: yep even with all the money in the world I would't buy anything from there.

Luka: even the enrikan shirt is over ten times the price!

Alice: hmph idiot sees me as some kind of final boss. Is that really how these human see us? Sheesh…

Varakiel: not for too long alice…not for too long.

Luka: that's right.

Alice:….i guess you're right in a sense…I won't care about it then.

Varakiel: alright let's keep looking…

Woman: hmmm, yes…you seem to be the kind of man I'm looking for. Could I ask a favor of you…?

A woman looking at varakiel says to him.

Varakiel: hm? Me? What is it beautiful lady?

Woman: fufu, so polite, please come with me and I'll talk about my request.

Varakiel: everything for the great captain selene.

Woman: !!! how did y-…..it seems there's people than still recognize me even now.

The woman smiles

Selene: I see, very well then, please come to my house later. I want to speak to you, it's at the end of that road over there, on the right side. You can't miss it…

Selene then walks away.

Luka: eh? That captain selene!?

Alice: good we finally found her, so what are we waiting for let's go.

….

Luka: the last house on the right…

Varakiel: that's one must be it.

Alice: it's the nicest house in this awful town by far. But seeing she is a great human figure i guess is normal for her.

Varakiel: you have no idea…

Varakiel then knock the door.

Selene: come iiin~.

A sultry voice calls out from inside the house.

Selene: so you've come…please, have a seat over there.

Selene's tone becomes more serious as soon as she sees them. She motions them toward a couple of chairs and a couch, all facing a table in the living room.

Selene: so tell me…what's your name, gentleman?.

Varakiel: I'm varakiel and this is my little brother luka.

Luka: hello my name is luka.

Selene: I see, tell me, varakiel. How…much do you know about my situation?.

Varakiel: so far as the report I read you died sealing the Beelzebub's in your ship 50 years ago…

Selene: a report? so someone of my crew managed to get out and spread our history, that's good I hope she had a good life….

Selene said with a smile on her face

Varakiel: ( let her have a small lie to rest in peace later…)

Undine: ( I see but something tell me you won't allow her to do so.)

Varakiel: (hehehe you know me so well indeed such powerful captain capable of stealing an orb from a guardian is something to fear.)

Salamander: ( indeed those orbs are protected by the most powerful monsters in the world and the strongest monster are none other than the ones in the deep sea.)

Varakiel: indeed...

Alice: wait, she died? Then does that make her a…HYA!

Alice leaps out of her chair as soon as she realizes. She immediately hides behind varakiel, peeking over his shoulder at the harmless ghost.

Selene: oh, my….are you okay?

Luka:she's fine. Don't mind her please.

Alice:.....

Varakiel: ejem, so like I was saying we can help you to deal with the beelzebubs, but you need to do something for me after we are done.

Selene: something for you? I wonder what could it be, money? Sex?

Luka: big brother but we're are just for the or-

Varakiel covers luka's mouth while saying.

Varakiel: yeah something for me, believe I know you won't regret it. So can you get a ship for us?

Selene: alright we'll be ready in an hour~!

Varakiel: lovely!

Alice:m-m-m-maybe I'll just sit this one out.

Varakiel: alice, come on…she's harmless

Alice:don't tell me what to do! M-maybe I'lll just let you handle this whole thing, a-and I'll just take my day here as a prostitute, o-or something.

Varakiel:...…..

Luka:...…..

Varakiel: anyway we should head out as soon as we can.

Selene: come to the port whenever you're ready. I'll have a ship ready soon.

Varakiel: alright then.

…..

Varakiel: an hour hm? Let's just wait on the port there's nothing else to do.

Alice just stares blankly to her side

Varakiel: what's wrong, alice?

Alice: nothing! Nothing's wrong at all!

Luka: she seemed pretty harmless they aren't going to hurt you.

Alice: th-th-THEY!?

Nibi: hehe, alice is scared.

Varakiel:…and you just made it worse…alice I swear they aren't going to hurt you. Everything will be fine.

Tamamo: hahaha, maybe I should learn to summon a ghost now~!

Alice:…hmph. I'm not scared…

Varakiel: liar.

….

Varakiel and everyone head to the port to wait for selene.

After waiting for an hour a ship arrives.

Selene: yahoo! Varakiel we're here.

Varakiel: oh nice alright let's move on now.

Luka: let's go!

Nibi: yay! Treasure hunting!

Sylph: yes! Treasure hunting!

Nibi and sylph were in luka's pocket.

Tamamo: now tell me how you will deal with the Beelzebub's Varakiel?

Varakiel: let's get on board first and I will explain the plan.

Varakiel and company then board on the ship.

…..

An impressive-looking pirate ship is at the far dock.

And on the ship is….

Female Pirate A: no issues here, boss!

Female Pirate B:Man, haven't seen a wind this good in a long time! This is lookin' good for us!

Selene: it has been a long time since we last went on a voyage, I hope your senses haven't dulled. I realize it was quite short notice, but we have to finish this soon…

Varakiel: I must say, this is a great ship!

Varakiel says as he comes aboard.

Luka: is very huge…

And all the sailors are young women…

Selene: hehe, surprised? It's quite a nice ship, isn't it?

Varakiel: yes, I am impressed, such a beautiful ship.

Selene: fufu, seems you're an enthusiast about them.

Varakiel: I tend to appreciate a lot on beautiful things, and even more the view I have in front of me right now.

Varakiel says as he looks at selene and the two pirates besides her.

Selene: oh my, so naughty fufu.

Pirate A: lad you better don't underestimate us or you won't last too long down there jajaja.

Pirate B: even more with boss in there jajaja.

Alice: hold on perverts. This ship wasn't here when we waited at the port earlier. Is this a….g-ghost ship!?

Alice quickly cowers behind varakiel.

Selene: hehehe….are you afraid of ghosts? You don't have to be afraid of me, sweetie. I won't hurt you….

Alice:…..

Luka: come on, alice. Big brother said already than everything is fine they are good people. And we have to get on the ship.

Alice: why am I going? You two are strong enough to do it yourself! 

Varakiel: alice calm down, nothing is going to happen to you just think of it like that time we board the ship from ilias port to sentora.

Alice: …..a-are you sure?

Varakiel: you don't trust in your aide?

Alice: You're not my aide you stupid idiot!.

Varakiel: I am for the monsters now hahaha.

Selene: oh my it seems we have a great figure on our ship today, who's honour I have to in my ship today?

Varakiel: uhhh, seems we have been discovered emmmmm, well first let me present myself I am Varakiel a travelling warrior and the monster lord aide, and she is Aliphesee fateburn XVI the current monster lord.

Selene: Oh my, So I have royalty on my ship who would have though and is the demon lord at that, fufu, don't worry sweetie this will be a fun ride.

Varakiel: see everything is gonna be okay.

Alice:...y-you promise?

Varakiel: with my life!

Alice: o-okay if you say so…..thank you….

Varakiel: figures, luka bring her inside the ship please, I am sorry for that selene we can sail now.

Luka: understood big brother let's go alice, brother said is gonna be okay,

Alice: a-alright.

Alice nervously clinging on to luka boards the ship

Selene: fufu who would have though, the monster lord is in such a good relationship with a family of humans.

Varakiel: mhm, now I am curious how she developed that fear to ghosts…..tamamo is your fault isn't?

Tamamo:...why are you blaming me for her fears.

Varakiel: Tamamo….

Tamamo: alright fine don't look at me like that, I was just wanted to teach her some exorcising magic to her but I think I might been get a little overboard with the practical training.

Varakiel:….i don't want to hear that history, let's just move on.

Tamamo:….alright~.

Female Pirate A: okay! All ready to head out!

Selene: then let's not waste any more time….

And with that, varakiel and company boarded captain selene's ship and headed out to sea.

...….

Varakiel: mmmmmm….this breeze sure is relaxing. (nice and quiet with only the sound of the waves hitting the boat….it's so calming)

Alice:...….

For varakiel at least is that way…..

Alice is huddled up in the corner of the ship, her arms wrapped around her snake tail.

Granberia: pathetic.

Granberia already teleported to the ship with chrome.

Granberia: I must say this ship is impressive, I feel like it can withstand some strikes from me before sinking down.

Varakiel: don't test out that right now please.

Luka: is she really going to hide there for the whole trip?

Alice: uhhh! I-I-I'm not hiding! Y-y-y-you're the one h-hiding!

Luka: uh-huh. Your stuttering is real convincing…

Varakiel: anyways it's almost dinner time, so don't miss me and try to not break things up….not like you can though.

Granberia: is that a challenge?

Varakiel: NOT YOU!.

Granberia: je, I am kidding.

Varakiel:…..please don't joke with that…anyways I will be back soon, and Alice if you're that freighted you won't be able to eat so just go to your happy place and forget about this for now.

Alice: m-my happy place? Okay…

Alice then closes her eyes and tries to imagine a place when she was a kid.

Alice: no not the ghost in the mountains!!.

Luka: ....

Granberia: ...

Tamamo: ....oops.

Varakiel: ...poor alice.

Varakiel then goes down the deck to the kitchen on the ship.

Selene who was on there with the two pirates than she is always with noticed him.

Selene: oh? What is it varakiel feeling a little hungry ?

Varakiel: is almost dinner time so I came to borrow your kitchen don't mind me.

Selene: oh my, you even know how to cook such a reliable child, fufu.

Varakiel: child? Jaja, My lady I am a full fledged men already.

Selene: oh really? Prove it, fufu.

Varakiel: oh? Are you seducing me? Let me tell you that would be a bad choice.

Selene: I don't know, it looks like seduction to you?

Selene says as she leans forward letting varakiel see her breast through the dress she is wearing. While she has on her face a seductive smile and the other two pirates are doing the same.

Varakiel: hehehe, you better don't regret it later, but for now I have to cook dinner for my family so I will pass this time.

Selene: fufu your family?, you must be a reliable man then.

Selene says with a playfull smile on her face.

Suddenly a song is ear from outside.

Female pirate A: this song….a siren is coming.

Varakiel: oh a monster this soon?, just let luka handle it.

Selene: the little boy? Alright if you say so, so anyway dear what are you doing for tonight?.

Varakiel: seems I caught your interest jeje, well for such a variety of monsters I need of course need to prepare several kinds of meals.

Selene: fufu it seems you are aiming for a harem dear, let me tell you that's not good if they are monsters.

Varakiel: hehehe, I am strong enough to take that risk who told them to be very attractive for me.

Selene: indeed, they are very beautiful, fufu just don't say I didn't tell you dear….

Varakiel: keep calling me dear and I will never let you go.

Selene: oh my is that a proposal?

Varakiel: what do you think?

Selene: I am sorry dear I am too old for you and besides I am a ghost we can't be together better luck for the next time fufu.

Varakiel: no woman is too old to love and be loved I have already demonstrated that before jajaja.

Selene: oh really~?

Varakiel: want to test my theory?

Selene: oh dear I would love to but since I am a ghost you ca-

Varakiel covered in psyenergy gives a deep kiss to Selene.

Selene: !!!....

Varakiel:…..I can't what? touch you? Haha.

Selene: naughty child I should punish you later.

Varakiel: I will be waiting for you then.

Varakiel who already ended up the dinner for everyone leaves the kitchen.

Selene touches her lips.

Selene: never let me go you say? Fufu, show it to me then.

….

Varakiel: is he done with the siren already?

Granberia: indeed, and he is improving with salamander on a good pace too.

Varakiel: really? That's great. Anyways dinner's ready everyone come for your share!

Nibi: yay dinner!

Sylph: yay!

Alice: …..at least this will make me forget about this.

Chrome: …. thank you.

Tamamo: you know even though I love thin fried tofu I would love to try something different next time…

Varakiel: Really? Alright.

Tamamo: thank you~!

Luka: it smells great big brother, thank you.

Varakiel: mhm, just get ready, your next fight might be a little bit hard.

Luka: really? … alright I'll be ready.

Varakiel: good, anyways Selene join us, here, this is your share.

Selene: is that okay? As a ghost I shouldn't be able to eat it isn't?

Alice twitches at the mentions of the word ghost but quickly calms down when she takes a bite of her food.

Varakiel: ah, sorry I guess you're right, I forgot about it for a little bit.

Selene: fufu, is okay dear, but it indeed looks delicious.

Tamamo: you don't imagine how good it taste~.

…..

Later at night on the ship

Alice leans over the deck of the ship, starring off into the sea.

Varakiel: is something troubling you?

Varakiel walks besides her to look into the endless sea in front of them.

Alice: beelzebubs, wasn't it? I think Tamamo taught me about them… their biggest threat is in their ability to breed insanely fast. A thousand can be bred from one in just a week. They're powerful, dangerous, and would overrun the entire world within a month if we let them.

Varakiel: mhm indeed, but still I won't kill them, at last I will just seal them and save them myself.

Alice: are you now? Why? It would be easy to exterminate them for good.

Varakiel: every living creature deserves to live, I am no one to decides if their whole race get extinct or lives, and to tell the truth I think they can change for the better like everyone else, but they need time for that and time is something I do not lack at all.

Alice: so you're going to make them your personal soldiers or something like that?

Varakiel: you could say something like that, out there it the vast universe there must be a world were they can belong to, but they need to be careful managed to not destroy said world, I will be that person.

Alice: I see….so in the end you just want them to live, if it were me I will just kill them to get rid of the problems they would cause in the future.

Varakiel: I am sorry but I have use for them so I can't allow you to do so jeje.

Alice: just don't let them be in this world, idiot, I am having such a great time travelling to have to deal with them later.

Varakiel: so you're indeed having a good time in our journey?, that's good.

Varakiel says as he smiles to alice.

Alice:…..hey, can I ask you something?

Varakiel: hm? What is it alice?

Alice: is true that your parents died when you were a kid?

Varakiel: yes, they died when I was just 5 years' old.

Alice: you not miss them?

Varakiel:….i will be lying if I say I don't, but I learned to overcome it, and besides I have a great family with me now, the cute and brave hero Luka, the powerful and fiery knight of fire Granberia, the wise and caring Tamamo, the play full fox Nibi, the smart and quiet necromancer chrome, the strongest angel Micaela, the best wife Lucifina, sylph, the quiet Gnome, the calm and collected Undine, the passionate Salamander, and the powerful Ilias.....

Alice: I get it sheesh…

Varakiel: and the scaredy cat and monster lord alice.

Alice: oi who are you calling scaredy cat!?

Varakiel: is that a ghost?

Alice: HYA!!!

Alice quickly hide behind varakiel.

Varakiel: oh wait it just selene.

Selene: oh dear, I am that scary?

Varakiel: none of that, you are lovely.

Selene: hmmm, that's good.

Selene then just walks away inside the ship.

Alice: Ihateyousomuch.

Varakiel: I am sorry, I didn't notice selene was going to pass right there.

Alice:...….. then tell me how are you going to seal them?

Varakiel: glad you asked! Jajaja!, let me present you the bottle seal!

Varakiel then takes out a bottle out of his inventory.

Alice:...

Undine: (....)

Gnome: (...…..)

Sylph: (wow a bottle!)

Gnome hits sylph.

Sylph: (gyahhhh!!)

Salamander: (….really? a bottle? That's your great plan? A damn bottle?)

Varakiel: this is not a normal bottle, is a special bottle than seals anything inside it so it can't escape, it the same bottle I used to seal that slime Bess before.

Undine: (I see so that's why Bess hasn't been moving all this time...where is she anyway?)

Varakiel: (she is in my bag even though I can save a lot on things in with my magic I can't storage living beings like Bess.)

Undine: (I see so your magic as limits too…)

Alice: you sealed a slime Bess before? Explain to me.

Varakiel: hm? I didn't explain it before? well okay!

Varakiel then explain to Alice what happened in undine's spring and why he sealed the slime Bess.

Alice: …. I see so the slimes had that kind of guy between them, I must say that indeed was a big problem….

Varakiel: anyways with this if luka seals the Beelzebub's I can trap them inside and decide what to do with them later.

Alice: .....

Alice with her eyes meditates about varakiel plan.

Alice: .... I guess is a better alternative than killing them…. But if any of them get away-

Varakiel: none of them will get away I wouldn't allow them to do so.

Alice: ...good but you better give me double the amount of food from now on.

Varakiel: as you order my queen!

Alice: …seems we have a deal.

Varakiel: mhm, thank you for this chance Alice.

Alice: hmph, don't mistake idiot I am not agreeing because of you I guess in a sense you're right they deserve to live as everyone else.

Varakiel: (tsundere.)

Sylph: ( jejeje, she is like deeny when she get jealous.)

Undine: (...)

Undine traps sylph in a ball of water.

Gnome: (....)

….

Selene: I must say luka's power is quite something…

Selene reappeared on the deck a little bit later after he was done chatting with alice.

Varakiel: of course, he was properly trained.

Selene: oh really, by whom? 

Varakiel: who else do you think?

Selene: fufu it can be you, the monster lord, or that dragon lady from there.

Varakiel: alright you got me each one of us as trained him.

Selene: hmmm…if only we had been so powerful in life, perhaps we could have prevented this mess…

Varakiel: it wasn't your fault and you know it, is not a daily occurrence to get a box with a calamitous race inside of it.

Selene: I suppose so…

Selene sighs.

Selene: our days as pirates were cut rather short because of those monsters. I suppose that's fairly standard when you do what we do. Still I wish I had gotten just a few more years, exploring the seas with my crew…or maybe even a chance to finally settle down…

Varakiel:...

Selene: hmm? Ah….forgive me. I rambled a bit there. I didn't mean to bring you down like that.

Varakiel:...what would you choose if you could?

Selene: hm? What do you mean dear?

Varakiel attitude turned serious suddenly, as selene showed a confused expression.

Varakiel: I, the aide of the monster lord I ask you what would you choose if you could walk among the living again? 

Selene:....oh my, it's a rough choice well I would say no if I only could do so I prefer to get down with my crew rather than abandoning them, but if everyone else could come back to life I guess I would say yes I want to get back in life.

Varakiel:...je, good answer...now I ask to you captain selene, do you wish to soar the seas with your crew again?

Selene:…what is happening varakiel you're starting to scare me…

Varakiel: just choose, do you wish for your crew to live again or remain dead.

Selene:....i choose to live of course….

Varakiel: then the deal is done….

Selene: deal? What deal?

Varakiel: just wait for the moment and don't doubt.

Varakiel then walks away from the deck to inside of the ship.

Selene: wait for the moment and don't doubt? What did I get us into.

….

Meanwhile inside the ship.

Sylph: (jajaja that's was funny! Varakiel seemed like a demon sealing a pact with a human!)

Gnome: (...…..)

Undine: ( are you sure you want to do this varakiel?)

Varakiel: ( oh absolutely everyone is very pretty and sexy, and besides in the future I will need a proper crew to soar the seas so who's better than the legendary captain selene)

Salamander: ( oh really then let their training to me I will turn them in the dread of the seas jejejeje)

Salamander said with a malicious smile

Varakiel: (would do…so anyway good night guys…)

Sylph: (noooopeeee, we are having sex tonight I won fairly before!)

Varakiel: (....do we have to in here? And why sex from all the rewards?)

Sylph: ( because the wind told me than varakiel sees me like a child not a woman and he wouldn't want to have sex with me!)

Varakiel: (.....fine)

Sylph: (really?)

Varakiel: (yes)

Sylph: (yay! Tonight is gonna be fun!)

Varakiel: ( the look of everyone on me will be painful tomorrow….)

Undine: (don't worry varakiel we won't judge you….too much)

Gnome: (...)

Salamander: ( but it will be worse if you rejected her after all jajaja.)

Varakiel: ( what a great support all you are….anyway….alright sylph.)

Sylph: (…..e-em please be gentle with me….)

Varakiel suddenly blushed, who is this cute lady is this really the same child than likes to play pranks and never shut up?.

Varakiel: (...would do…)

Sylph: (...…..)

...

Undine: ( who would have though we will see sylph all shy and flustered.)

Gnome: (...….)

Gnome nodded several times

Salamander: ( only someone like him can make someone like sylph like that, maybe finally she will be less annoying from now on)

Is okay to dream salamander, is okay to dream.

…..

After a few days, it took some time to get to the wrecked ship, but it was fairly uneventful, and varakiel got to know everyone in Selene's crew, and improve his relationship with Tamamo, Alice and Granberia.

On the dawn of the fourth day….

Selene: it's close…. our ship is here.

From behind the fog, Selene's ship slowly fades into view.

Varakiel: sure enough we have arrived…. HEY! EVERYONE WE ARRIVED, WAKE UP!

Varakiel yells to the bedrooms to wake up everyone else.

Alice: *yawn* are we finally there? Good.

Luka: whoa, I wonder how much history is inside that ship.

Chrome: that's a big ship….

Tamamo: hmmm, so the Beelzebub's are in there? Let's make some countermeasure in case one of them get's away.

Nibi: whoa! That ship is so big!

Granberia: hmmm the rocking of this ship was…. therapeutic, I never slept so well.

Varakiel: indeed maybe I should design a bed with rocking...it could be a good idea.

Granberia: good I would like to be the first to own it.

Varakiel: seems we have a good idea, anyways, we are here.

Alice:A…ghost ship…!

Alice hides behind varakiel like a small child, peeking over his shoulder

Varakiel: relax alice that's not a ghost ship, is just an abandoned ship totally different, the only ghosts here are the pirates.

Alice: a-are you sure?.

Varakiel: 90% sure!

Alice: a-and what's the other 10%?

Varakiel: you don't really wish to know do you?

Alice: I-I guess I don't

Granberia: ….

Tamamo: ….

Luka: ….

Varakiel: anyway let's move on…oh yeah chrome, nibi come here.

Chrome: hm? What is it varakiel?

Nibi: what is it~?

Varakiel then says something to the ears of chrome and nibi.

Varakiel: you got it?

Chrome: yes, we got it!

Nibi: yes, captain! We will complete this mission!

Varakiel: alright just be careful.

Then varakiel and company aboard the abandoned ship. As an strange fog covers all over the ship.

Varakiel: be careful on where you step

Luka: understood….

Alice: a barrier…

Varakiel: is the fog a barrier?

Alice: yes.

Varakiel: I see that explains it.

Alice: it feels like it was designed to keep evil in, as well as out.

Varakiel: mhm, thanks for the explanation teacher.

Luka: really? I don't feel anything.

Alice: of course you don't idiot, you are an angel why would you be able to sense a dark magic barrier.

Luka: but why you can pass if it's supposed to keep powerful monsters out…

Varakiel: the barrier must be weakening, we came in a good time who knows how long it can last , maybe a week, maybe 3 days.

Luka: really? That's…. scary taking in count what is in here.

Tamamo: varakiel is right the barrier wouldn't last less than a month so, some of its functions are failing already…

Granberia: but still to be able to last this long without proper replenish I wouldn't like to be locked in here.

Varakiel: hm? A monster is approaching, take care of it luka.

Luka: understood.

Starfish Girl Appears!

Starfish girl: hehe…. I'll finally be able to suck some human semen after being stuck in here for so long. I'll suck out all of your semen… Then feast on that delicious body of yours…

Luka:….

…..

Starfish girl: after training here for so long… to think I'd lose…

The starfish girl is sealed into the form of a tiny starfish!

Starfish Girl was defeated!

Luka earned 35000 experience points.

43250/150000

Luka: phew… she was kind of tough.

Varakiel: after all she was trapped here for 50 years, so she had a lot of time to train like she said.

Luka: oh yeah she said something like that.

Granberia: but yet 50 years and just get this strong, it must have been due to the barrier is it not?.

Varakiel: maybe who knows, maybe the length of time in here is different from the outside.

Granberia: what do you mean?

Varakiel: like, 1 years in here is like 10 years outside, or something like that.

Granberia: that would make sense.

Tamamo: I think that might be actually the case, this barrier is a separated world from the outside.

Alice: anyway let's continue the faster we get to those beelzebubs the earlier we will leave.

Varakiel: alright down we go then.

Varakiel and company then goes down on to the ship.

Selene: the beelzebubs should be in my cabin

Varakiel: then it must be the last door at the deepest part, alright let's go.

Varakiel and company the goes down the way to the captain's cabin.

Varakiel: alright this is it, I can feel three auras behind this door.

Luka: let me at them big brother!

Varakiel: be careful they are strong but maybe you would be able to handle them. But just in case!, Frederika, Liam!.

Frederika: yes?

Liam: at your service lord varakiel!

Frederika and Liam suddenly appears from varakiel shadow.

Varakiel: you will fight alongside luka, just to be sure so none of those Beelzebub's escape.

Frederika: leave it to us!

Liam: understood!

Luka: Liam and Frederika? Are you sure big brother?

Varakiel: je don't underestimate them luka, due to my necromancy they are half strong as I am so they should be strong enough to support you.

Luka: ehhh!? Really?

Varakiel: mhm don't look down onto yourself you are strong let say if I were to fight you normally with you at full power it would be 7/10 victories.

Luka:….understood, I will not let them get away.

Varakiel: mhm don't worry I will be completely ready to trap them myself, try to not make a hole onto the ship or they might have a mean to escape.

Luka: got it!

Varakiel: alright we are going in.

Tamamo: be careful~.

Nibi: give your best luka!

Luka: yes!

Varakiel then slowly goes through the door with luka, Frederika and Liam.

Three powerful looking monsters are waiting on the other side. They almost look like flies…

Beelzebub A: oh look, it seems that pirate brought soldiers. You seem quite delicate for a hero….

Beelzebub B: hehe….but he's awfully cute. That face just makes me want to tease him…

Beelzebub C: in the end, humans are only tools for us to use to lay eggs. Their only worth lies in the semen we can bring out.

Luka: ….hm.

Varakiel: (oh boy I have a hard work to do with those three, but I know it will be worth on the end.)

Undine: (are you sure this is a good idea?)

Varakiel: (absolutely but if I can't convince them I have another alternative, but is quite disgusting but it is safe so I can't complain.)

Salamander: (as long it doesn't destroy everything I will approve it.)

Varakiel: (alright you should go to luka and give him pointers.)

Salamander: (you don't have to remind me.)

Then the four spirits vanish from varakiel mind.

Beelzebub A: hmm it seems we even have monsters in here, and you seem like a blood relative of the monster lord. How amusing… it seems like our time of revenge has come at last.

Alice: hmph, know your place if you can't beat the boy forget to even touch a hair of me.

Varakiel: alright luka, *cof* TIME TO SHINE! (MAXIMUM INPUT!)

Luka: hehe let me show all of you the results of my training!

Luka body gets covered in holy light while a wing made of light energy and his eye shines bravely.

Alice: ehhh!? What is this!?

Tamamo: is this his full power? Awesome~!

Varakiel: indeed this is his full power, now luka, IT'S SHOW TIME.

Luka: MHM!

Frederika: let's us aid you little luka.

Liam: Leave the rearguard to us lord luka!

Frederika and Liam gets besides luka. 

Luka: I'll be in your care.

Beelzebub A: I take back my previous words. You seem to be powerful…

Beelzebub B: that pirate girl gave us quite the present. A powerful boy like this will let us create a strong army of flies…come here and make children with us, boy. Our army of daughters will take over the world….

Beelzebub C: we'll make this world into a paradise for flies. All we require is your semen…

Luka: I am sorry but that's not going to happen so please be kind to get locked again!

Beelzebub A: oh my, how brave. We'll have to teach this boy that his only use lies in being a tool for reproduction!

Luka: HA!

Luka then charge to the beelzebubs.

Beelzebub A: what is this, my power…

The first Beelzebub turns into a fly.

Varakiel: ( time to move!.)

Varakiel then using the teleport function from the system appears besides the sealed Beelzebub.

Varakiel: (first one.)

Beelzebub B: what!?

Beelzebub C: this is bad!.

Varakiel: don't let them run away!.

Luka: yes!.

Liam: frederika and I , will go for the other one lord luka!

Luka: let's go.

Luka then seals other Beelzebub.

Beelzebub B: this can't be happening….

Varakiel: ( now the second one!)

Varakiel then traps the sealed Beelzebub in another bottle.

Beelzebub C:I have to run away from here.

Luka: no you won't!

Luka suddenly appears besides the other Beelzebub 

Beelzebub C: !!!

Luka then uses death sword chaos star to obliterate the remaining Beelzebub.

Beelzebub C: b-but our revenge…

The remaining Beelzebub turn into a fly!

Varakiel: (and that's the third one!)

Beelzebub Girls were defeated!

Luka earned 72000 experience points!

115250/150000

Luka: phew…that was a good fight.

Luka the puts away angel halo as he exhales.

Luka: thank you Frederika and Liam.

Liam: is nothing lord luka, you did incredible

Frederika: Liam is right you are very strong. 

Varakiel: (minimum input) yeah, you did great luka good job.

Alice: good then we got the Beelzebub's safely.

Luka: but they weren't as powerful as a heavenly knight….

Alice: their true horror lies in the reproductive ability. If they multiplied to 10,000 or 1,000,000, they could easily overwhelm the world.

Luka: is that bad? Well we have them captured so it should be safe now.

Varakiel: indeed, I will personally take care of them.

Granberia: anyway let's get what we came for.

Varakiel: mhm It should be around here.

Luka: ah there is it.

Luka then pick up the beautiful sphere.

[Purple orb] obtained!

Alice: the beelzebubs are gone now, too. They won't be able to harm the world now.

Varakiel: alright let's get out of this ship.

…..

Selena: thank you, hero luka. Thanks to you, those horrible abominations are gone.

Varakiel: mhm, I will take care of them personally so not worry about them.

Selene: mhm thank you very much, thanks to you our life is free from regret, we wish you luck on your journeys to come…

Suddenly Selene and her crew slowly start to vanish.

Varakiel: OI! Where do you think you are going?

Selene: eh? But we have to go to heaven after all there's nothing left for us here.

Varakiel: you haven't paid your side of the deal what are you talking about?

Selene: ehhh? But you got the orb isn't?

Varakiel: when did I said we wanted the orb?

Selene:.....

*comi 1*

Selene: but you took it from my cabin…

Varakiel: yeah like you took it from the guardian than was taking care of it…

Selene: …. what is what you want then?

Varakiel: chrome is that done?

Chrome: yes, varakiel we got them together like you asked!

Nibi: they were a bit hard to find but we found them all!

Varakiel: alright then Selene and each of you follow me, you guys stay here.

Varakiel then goes back to the abandoned ship of Selene.

*sinpi1*

Varakiel: you remember our deal Selene?

Selene: yeah we agreed if you helped me I will do something for you, but wasn't the orb enough?

Varakiel: like I said when did I asked to you for the orb? I just plundered what I found like a pirate.

Selene: y-you stealed from me!? You might get cursed bad boy!

Female pirate A: hahaha no one dared to steal from the boss before.

Female pirate B: I guess there a time for everything even in death.

Varakiel: anyways I am not talking about that deal.

Selene: eh? Do you mean that one?

As selene says that they arrive inside the ship cargo room, in there there's several bones covered in blankets.

Selene: what is this varakiel?

Varakiel: you said you wished for you crew to be able to soar the seas once again isn't? well, let your wishes come true then!

As Varakiel says that he cast sacred rise on one body in particular.

Selene: !!! what!?

Varakiel: like I said don't doubt.

Selene: …. you sure are a man full of surprises dear.

 Selene ghost suddenly vanishes.

Female Pirate A: what did you do to our boss!?

Female pirate B: where is boss!?

Varakiel: shhh just follow me okay? Then you would understand.

Varakiel then walks to the moving body under the blanket.

Varakiel: welcome back to the world of the living Captain selene.

Selene: i---a---m dr—ea?

Varakiel: relax you need to recover the functions of your body again.

Selene then nods silently to varakiel.

Female pirate A: ehhhh is boss alive again!?

Female pirate B: woah! That awesome!.

Varakiel: mhm I gave her life back again, and all of you would do too, right?

Female pirate A: of course laddy, we will follow boss to the end of the world!

Female pirate B: that's true she is our boss we belong to be with her!

Similar words can be heard from the other pirates.

Varakiel: great!, so be prepared now.

Varakiel then proceeds to cast sacred rise in every single body.

…..

Varakiel:*sigh* I didn't think there we that much people.

Selene: fufu, of course dear a ship needs a lot of people to operate after all.

Selene says to varakiel while covered in a blanket.

Selene: but I have to say to be able to revive that much people in so little time, just who are you?

Varakiel: I said it before just a wandering warrior and the monster lord aide, jajaja.

Selene:….hmm, fine if you don't want to tell me don't.

Varakiel: don't worry I will say so when the time comes but for now enjoy being able to breath again jajaja.

Selene: that's true, it feels great to feel air in my lungs again , and this smell, the smell of the sea, I missed it a lot….

Selene says as tears drops down from her eyes.

Selene: thank you dear, thanks for this chance we promise you than we will follow you to the end of time from now on.

Varakiel: hehe I will be in your care legendary captain selene.

Selene: I am the same mister aide, fufu.

Selene says as she leans to varakiel.

Selene: this heat….i missed it too.

Varakiel: then enjoy it to your heart content.

Selene:…mhm.

Female pirate A: not fair boss let us get along with him too!

Female pirate B: the boss is not being fair, I say riot!

Selene: fufu, calm down dear, your turn will come too.

Female pirate B:….fine.

Varakiel: anyway we shouldn't take a lot time of either alice will get mad.

Selene: but what about our clothes dear?.

Varakiel: i already have them on me of course.

Varakiel says as he boughs female clothes from the system shop.

50-G 

7404G

Varakiel: here it should be enough for all of you.

Varakiel says as he handles the clothes to selene and her crew.

Selene: hmm? This weird design and this texture, what are this clothes.

Varakiel: they are clothes from my country, try them they are very comfortable 

Selene: from your country you say? Alright then.

Selene and her crew then changes their clothes.

Varakiel: it seems it suits all of you perfectly.

Varakiel says as he eyes the female pirates, ones wearing hot pants, other skirts and other jeans, as for selene.

Selene: hmmm, this is very comfortable indeed.

Selene was wearing a one piece dress than gets to her knees.

Varakiel: alright we should go back.

Selene: alright everyone let's go back, TO THE SEA!

Crew: OHHHHHHH!!!!

Selene back with the attitude of an almighty pirate captain says.

Varakiel: oh interesting that's a face I never would face in someone like you selene, I like it!

Selene: aw dear you are so sweet.

Varakiel: alright let's go!

Varakiel then goes back to the ship with selene and her crew back alive again.

….

Alice: …..really?

Varakiel: really.

Alice: you really needed to revive all of them?

Varakiel: yes, if one of them missed they would probably refuse to go on.

Alice: you god damn pervert you just revived them because they are pretty.

Varakiel: actually I will really need a pirate crew in the future so no that wasn't my only reason.

Alice: is that true undine?

Undine suddenly appears 

Undine: he's half lying, he indeed needs it but It didn't need to be specifically them

Varakiel: …..alright yes I revived them because all of them look pretty I admit it, but at the same time I thought it was a shame for them to die on such a young age too.

Alice: fine I'll let you go on this because they are not ghosts anymore.

Granberia: damn pervert.

Tamamo: pervert!~.

Nibi: pervert!~.

Luka: pervert, ah! I did it again!!

Undine: (pervert.)

Gnome: (...…)

Sylph: (she said pervert, pervert!.)

Salamander: (even though I admit is okay because they were on such a young age, pervert.)

Chrome:…...pervert…..but yet awesome, you can revive this much people without a drawnback.

Chrome says with eyes full of admiration.

Varakiel: mhm they are still humans so they are easy to revive, the problem comes when they are monsters, the stronger the objective to revive, more the cost of magic power.

Chrome: Is that so? Let me write it down!.

Selene: I even have to admit dear than you are a pervert, you already have those beautiful monster ladies and you wanted us.

Alice: w-were just friends he is not my couple!.

Granberia: h-he's just my rival n-nothing else!.

Alice and Granberia said flustered.

Selene: fufu, so cute.

Tamamo: kahaha, just like a girl in school.

Varakiel: (salamander did I heard wrong? I am granberia's rival?)

Salamander: (yes she said that, what?, disappointed?)

Varakiel: (I always wanted her to recognize me as her rival but she never admitted it herself this is great!)

Varakiel: anyways we should go back.

Selene: that's right, alright everyone get ready to sail back to gold port!

Female Pirate A: Roger boss!

Female pirate B: Moving on!

Then With Selene's Crew back among the living everyone sailed back to gold port.

….

At selene's house.

Selene: alright then varakiel, what you need us to do?

Varakiel: well, to tell the truth I just wanted you to revive you in the first place I didn't have an ulterior motive.

Selene: fufu, you're so sweet dear, but that's not good as our savior there should be something we can help you with.

.

Varakiel:….if you put it like that then, there might be something you can do for me.

Selene: really? Tell me what it is dear.

Varakiel: …..well, I need you to take over gold port.

Selene: just that dear? Fufu that would be easy.

Luka: ehhh!? You won't reject that?

Selene: oh dear, to tell the truth this place is falling apart on its own someone must take the lead from here, and that guy from ilias kreuz hasn't been doing any good to this place.

Varakiel: lazarus.

Selene: it seems you know him dear.

Varakiel: yeah luka and me have history with him, .... Alright then, you can help me with taking over gold port, I don't care what means do you use but get rid of ilias kreuz.

Alice: what are you doing idiot, if you kill them don't you thing everything will get worse!?

Varakiel: none of that.

Selene: exactly dear, if we humans get rid of them we can explain it was due to them destroying apart gold port, and with my reputation as a legendary pirate they would think is taking it over my rightful ownership of gold port.

Luka: but…. killing them?

Varakiel: there's no other alternative if we let them go they will keep attacking innocent humans and monsters alike.

Tamamo: varakiel is right they don't deserve mercy, they have hurt humans and monsters alike with their actions.

Granberia: ….. I agree with varakiel plan that kind of people wouldn't be able to change no matter what.

Alice: …..

Luka: …..

Alice and luka remained in silence.

Varakiel: listen I know you don't want for blood to be shed, but this is war people have to die no matter if they are allies or enemies, we are still going to war with black alice and promestein, we can't have thorns on our side while we are against them.

Alice: is this truly the only way?

Varakiel: believe me it his, none of us would be able to change their hate for monsters, and we need to get the most people possible in each town, as we speak now black Alice and promestein are increasing their numbers we can't stay behind.

Alice: …. alright I agree with your plan too.

Luka:…..a-alright I agree too.

Varakiel: good, alright then Selene I will leave to you the conquest of gold port, right now thanks to my resurrection spell you should have a proximally half of my power unless a high rank monster appears all of you should be fine.

Selene: is that so? I don't feel different…alright dear I will tell all my crew about this and their new strength so they adapt quickly to it.

Varakiel: alright that seems like a plan, and selene thank you.

Selene: fufu, don't worry dear is the least we can do after all we are all alive and we can enjoy the sea again, be sure we will take over this place and make it what it should be, the greastes port of all.

Varakiel: good, but you still will need an stable source of fonds so I will request my contacts to give you support.

Selene: oh really? You are so reliable, all right.

Varakiel: wait for a messenger from a town called enrika they will provide everything you need.

Selene: understood, anything else?

Varakiel: please be safe and don't act recklessly, you might be alive again, but your life is still has important as before.

Selene: aw dear don't worry about me too much, I might look like this but I was quite the fighter 50 years ago.

Varakiel: if you say so then we will take our leave, please be safe.

Selene: bye bye dear, have a safe journey!

Female Pirate A: see ya soon lad, you better come back ready because we aren't letting you away this easily next time jajaja.

Female pirate B: thank you kind heroes for your help please be safe.

Varakiel: oh yeah I haven't asked for your names…

Female pirate A: aiya we are really impolite aren't we, well my name is Jessica, and this girl is called Rina.

Female pirate B: yes my name is Rina I am sorry for not telling you before.

Varakiel: alright Jessica and Rina, take care.

Jessica: don't worry laddy we are going to be fine with boss with us.

Rina: Jessica is right boss is very strong.

Varakiel: then out we go.

Alice: finally, we are leaving.

Luka: goodbye captain Selene It was nice to meet you!

Tamamo: it was very fun to ride a ship again, I like it~.

Nibi: yeah it was very fun lady Tamamo we can ride another one later?.

Tamamo: of course little one~.

Nibi: yay!

Sylph: yay!

Chrome: it was indeed very relaxing.

Granberia:….I have to admit I liked it too, it was very therapeutic. 

Varakiel: alright let's teleport outside this place.

Varakiel then teleport with everyone outside gold port.

Luka: mhm why here big brother? Aren't we going for the next orb?

Varakiel: the next orb is in the shrine of the northern sea, guarded like the one kraken had, the silver orb.

Alice: mhm that orb is currently guarded by the Poseidoness, do I need to go with you, mister aide?

Alice says as she makes a smirk to varakiel.

Varakiel: you can come if you want to, I told to kraken to take some vacations and she told me she was going to visit Poseidoness, so I requested her to inform Poseidoness of our arrival.

Tamamo: very clever varakiel kahaha~.

Granberia: sea again huh….

Varakiel:…...oh right you don't know how to swim….you know what we have been collecting the orbs in a good pace is time to take a break, let's stay at the beach today!

Alice: good I was getting tired of waiting for you to come back with the orbs again and again.

Varakiel:…..

Luka:…..

Granberia: great then you can teach me how to swim meanwhile.

Varakiel: that sounds like a plan! Alright is beach day!

Nibi: yay!

Sylph: yay! Beach day!

Salamander: (...…)

Undine: (great I can relax in good cold water.)

Undine says as she smiles to salamander.

Varakiel: alright let's head to the beach!

Nibi and sylph: GOOOO!!

Chrome: ….. it's fine I guess….

Then everyone heads to the beach at the northern sea to relax.

…..

Varakiel: mhm…. (such a nice and refreshing breeze…today is a great day to be at the beach!)

Undine: ahhh…~. (it indeed feels great; much better than the other awful places we've been to.)

Alice: mhmmm… the smell of saltwater, I am hungry now.

Luka: it feels great.

Granberia:…..

Tamamo: ahhh this breeze is very good, and today is a full moon night such a perfect day to relax~.

Varakiel: is it now? Great so today is a feast then!

Nibi: YAY!

Sylph: yay! A feast!

Alice: hmmm I like the sound of that~

Alice says as she smiles.

Chrome: I must say this indeed feels nice, I guess it's okay to relax once or twice.

Chrome says as she saves up the sacred necromancy book on her bag.

Varakiel: alright let's take out everything for today!.

Varakiel takes out the camp from his inventory.

Varakiel: alright everyone pick your swimwears!

Varakiel says as he takes out several swim wears of different sizes.

Alice: swimwear you say?....i'll pick this one.

Alice says as she pick a black swim wear suited for a lamia.

Tamamo: ohh I like this one!.

Tamamo then picks a white Japanese swimwear.

Nibi: then I'll pick the black one!

Nibi picks the black Japanese swimwear.

Granberia: I don't need something like that.

Varakiel: hey if you want to learn to swim properly you need to get rid of your armor and your regular clothes wouldn't be okay as they will get in the way.

Granberia:….fine.

Granberia then pick a rather conservative green swimwear.

Varakiel: alright, then here wear this one luka.

Varakiel then hands a purple male swimwear to luka.

Luka: alright.

Luka then goes away to change clothes.

Varakiel: well as for me….

Varakiel then changes his armor to a black male swimwear.

Undine: those clothes of your are really convenient as always.

Varakiel: I know right.

Chrome:….I'll go with this one.

Chrome then picks a purple swimwear.

Then everyone else goes to changes clothes 

Varakiel: alright so how should I teach Granberia to swim….

While varakiel thinks of the way to teach Granberia, Tamamo and nibi comes back.

Tamamo: so? How do I look?

Varakiel: you look so cute I could eat you right now.

Tamamo: hahaha I should eat you too I wonder~.

Tamamo says as she lick her lips.

Luka then comes back.

Nibi: hey luka how do I look!

Luka: emm it looks very cute Nibi.

Nibi: jeje~.

Varakiel: they look cute together.

Tamamo: I know right?

Alice: I must say this is the first time I wear a swimwear; does it look good?

Alice says as she makes circle to show off to varakiel.

Varakiel: it looks beautiful I give it a 10/10.

Alice:….good.

Chrome then comes back.

Chrome:...

Varakiel: you look great chrome.

Chrome: really?

Tamamo: yes you look very cute.

Chrome: a-alright.

Chrome then goes back to the camp.

Varakiel: you don't want to learn to swim chrome?

Chrome: e-eh? I-I think I will learn later…

Varakiel: …..okay!, there's would be a lot of time in the future for you to do so.

Tamamo: hmm…I feel fear from her.

Varakiel: mhm it seems she is afraid of the sea, but she seemed fine on the ship….maybe she is just scared to swim.

Granberia then comes back too.

Granberia:...

Granberia slightly blushing walks to the camp.

Varakiel: you look great Granberia!.

Granberia: eh? Ah, t-thanks I guess.

Varakiel: alright we should start with your lessons to swim!

Granberia suddenly turns serious.

Granberia: alright.

Varakiel and Granberia then walks to the sea.

Varakiel: alright first we should teach you the basics.

Granberia: I am listening.

Varakiel: first you need to learn to float likes this.

Varakiel then shows how someone should properly float on water to Granberia.

Granberia: like this?.

Granberia gets deep into the water and floats.

Varakiel: yeah like that, well done.

Granberia:….

Granberia then practices how to float.

Granberia: alright I think I got this what's next.

Varakiel: next is to practice kicking.

Varakiel then shows to Granberia how to do proper kicking.

Granberia:…like this?

Granberia then tries to do kicking.

Granberia: woah!!

But as expected for a first timer Granberia fails.

Varakiel: wow hang in there.

Varakiel then helps Granberia.

Granberia: …thanks…. this is embarrassing.

Varakiel: it's okay is your first time you'll get the hang of it eventually, here let me help you.

Varakiel then grabs Granberia hands to help her practice kicking.

Granberia: I get it so it's like this.

….

Meanwhile in the camp.

Alice: ….

Tamamo: ….

Nibi: ….

Chrome: ….

Salamander: ….

Each one of the girls was looking at varakiel and Granberia at the sea practicing. 

Luka: (big brother, help…)

Luka was in the middle of them quite terrified of the aura each one of the girls was exuding.

Varakiel: are you guys only going to stay there?

Varakiel sends a wave of water to them using undine's power.

Nibi: yay! Water battle!

Nibi then runs towards the sea to play.

Alice: fine don't say I didn't warn you.

Alice says as she prepares a water ball with magic.

Tamamo: hey don't forget about me~.

Luka: …I guess is fine to relax once in a while…. wait for me!

Luka then runs towards the sea too.

Chrome: ….it seems fun…as long I don't get too deep…. alright!

And so meanwhile teaching Granberia how to swim everyone had a fun and relaxing day at the beach.

Meanwhile in heaven…

Ilias: hmph…. I want to go to the beach with him too….

Even though Ilias can't see varakiel she can see everyone else as she deduced than they took a day to be in the beach.

Black Alice: Fufu, it seems you're having fun observing your dog Ilias…

Black Alice paid a visit to Ilias.

Ilias: what do you want? you can't see I am busy?

Black Alice: jeje, I just want to tell you than your little dog might have trouble to get to the monster lord castle in the future.

Black Alice says as she plays with the blue orb in her hand.

Ilias: is that all you wanted to tell me? Go away, that doesn't matter he probably will find an alternative, at most you delayed him by a month.

Black Alice: oh? It seems you believe your dog is that capable but that doesn't matter, besides using a garuda they won't be able to reach hellgondo.

Ilias: we'll see; now go away you disturb my entertainment.

Black Alice: alright fufu, but the current monster lord is truly dumb taking her knight with her, she can't imagine the troubles she is going to have in the future.

Black Alice suddenly vanishes from Ilias temple.

Ilias: hmph, the only one in trouble is you and that girl promestein.

Later at night at the beach.

Varakiel: alright as expected from you Granberia you got the hang of it in a single day.

Varakiel says as he looks at Granberia swimming properly.

Granberia: yes, I can believe it was really this easy, I guess I must thank you.

Varakiel: hehe, you're welcome, but still you need to practice to fight underwater but than can be left for later.

Granberia: I guess that's true….anyways have you come up with a new technique yet?

Varakiel: not yet for now tsunami and alfheim are the ones I can by fusing the spirits

powers. If we talk about techniques using a single element, like ragnarok there are some I can try.

Granberia: oh really? Show me one of them then…

Granberia with high expectation said to varakiel.

Varakiel: hmmm….let's try a wind one….(sylph are you awake yet?)

Sylph: ( what is it varakiel)

Varakiel: ( I need your help for a little bit )

Sylph: (alright!)

Varakiel: Grant me the winds of destruction! [Devastating Gale]

Sylph: ( what are you gonna do varakiel?)

Varakiel: (I am gonna do a new technique)

Sylph: ( really!? Yay is my turn to help you create a new technique!)

Varakiel: (…..cute)

Varakiel: anyways let's do this!

Varakiel then gets to a near boulder on the beach.

Varakiel: *inhales* [Iai]

Suddenly a current of wind comes off from Varakiel.

Varakiel: *exhales*HA!.... that's it I think I did perfectly.

The boulder seemed to be still intact.

Granberia: that's it? A single cut using the power of wind?

Varakiel: it seems you only looked at my blade Granberia.

Granberia: what?

Varakiel then get's closer to the boulder and touches it.

The boulder then breaks down in several pieces.

Granberia:!!! What!? How?

Varakiel: like I said you only looked at my blade you didn't notice the wind current I

released.

Granberia:...do it again.

Varakiel: gladly.

Varakiel then finds another boulder.

Varakiel: *inhales* [Iai]

A current of wind comes off from Varakiel.

Varakiel: *exhales*HA….. did you get it?

Granberia:....yeah, I did.

Preciscely in Granberia eyes she saw at the moment varakiel inhaled all the air around him

Disappeared and just at the moment he exhaled all the air was released from him as a barrage of sharp blades.

Granberia:…..i see so that how you did it, I must admit it took me off guard the first time.

Varakiel: that's the point of this technique, to caught your opponent off guard and using that to your Advantage. You can say is like lighting sword flash since the moment you try to use it again against your opponent he will be ready to receive the blow.

Granberia: I see it seems like that, but I must say this technique is pretty good, I didn't noticed it at first so maybe I might had get hit twice or thrice before I can understand it.

Varakiel: that's true.
