Chapter 76: Goodbye Kyoto

(Your POV)
The day after the Hero Faction's failed experiment, it was declared a victory on our side because there were no major casualties. Unfortunately for us, one of my most powerful units, Nico, went missing. I asked Kiba and Xenovia about what happened during their fight against Siegfried, but their memories were hazy, though Kiba was adamant that she was not kidnapped. Connla was officially branded as a traitor to the hero faction, so I decided to let him stay with us. Wukong and Nezha also left, leaving Nemo behind, along with a scroll on how to use senjutsu. Other than that, our trip to Kyoto was at a close, and I decided to get souvenirs for everyone back home. I got a purple ribbon that had a lavender design on it for Akeno, a rose-style pen for Rias, some sweets in a snow-drop flower design for Koneko, a ninja keychain for Scathach, a katana-style bottle opener for Dagda, and samurai-style keychains for my parents. I also grabbed some more keychains for the others that couldn't come with us. After getting the souvenirs, I went back to the train station where everyone was waiting for the train. Well, almost everyone, Kiba looked distressed. Also, Yasaka and Kunou were here wearing more casual clothes. Yasaka was wearing a black shirt, a yellow cardigan, hazel colored skirt, sandals, and a sun hat to hide her ears. As for Kunou, she was wearing black sandals, a white dress, a yellow jacket, and a beanie to hide her ears. The reason for them wearing these outfits was because they were moving in with me. Why is that? Well...

"So let me be clear, Lady Kunou and Lady Yasaka are living at my home for safety reasons?" I questioned Azazel, who was sitting on his travel bag. "While I am not opposed to the idea, what about the flow of ki in Kyoto?"

"I can take care of that." Nemo volunteered. "You see, when it comes to ancient magics, I am unrivaled. Prideful boasting aside, the flow of ki is like a web, and Yasaka is just the main support of that web. While important, it can be replaced. What I plan on doing is making the main support a singular gem, then making copies of that gem to spread around in random places like I did with the original gem. Then I'll wipe my own memories on which gem is the real one. After that, I'm heading back to Peru to protect the continent from the Khaos Brigade, since Machu Picchu and other ancient cities in South America could be a potential target for the Khaos Brigade invasion."

"Sarah and I are also leaving now as well." Yozakura informed me. "I have reason to believe that Nico was a race that could allow her to turn into a 100% human, like a shapeshifter, skinwalker, or a spirit. So I'm going to look for her with Sarah."

"Yup, just don't ask us what we plan on doing in the hotels." Sarah put her hands on her hips. "We think she went to Australia for whatever reason, so we'll be going there to look for her, and to protect it from the Khaos Brigade since no one is from Australia, and the closest person to Australia is Sangkuriang, who's from Indonesia."

"So you three are leaving right now?" I asked, and all three of them nodded. "Nemo, I haven't known you for long, but thank you for helping. Yozakura, I owe you a lot, it was always you who assisted me with my...well, everything. As for Sarah..."

"BWAAAAH!" Sarah was sobbing while she hugged me. "Can we keep him, Yozakura?! I would die for him!"

"Please don't."

"No Sarah, he has his own duties to attend to, and don't worry, we'll be back at some point." Yozakura held out a hand to me. "You know, out of everyone I've been worked for, you're the worst liar."

"If it's okay with you guys..." I reached into my pocket to make my Tarot Peerage Cards appear, then I pulled out the stack box of cards. "Would you all like to join my Peerage?" In response to this question, the three of them nodded. "Then take a card." I held the now open box to them, but it was in such a way that none of them could tell which card they were getting.

The first person to draw a card was Nemo, followed by Sarah, then Yozakura. Nemo got the King of Wands, Sarah obtained the 3 of Wands, and Yozakura got the Queen of Coins. Nemo's card glowed a mint green color, Sarah's glowed red, and Yozakura's glowed purple as the cards began hovering in front of each person's respective face. The three cards slowly hovered over the hearts of their respective people before dissolving into nothing. "Huh, I expected more sparkles." Sarah pointed out. "Oh well, we'll see you around, don't miss us too much, (Y/N)!"

"Goodbye, thank you for helping me so far." I bowed before the three leaving ultimates. Causing Yozakura to chuckle, I think this is the first time I've ever seen her smile.

"No problem, and do me a favor will you, be the change the supernatural world needs." Yozakura smiled before walking off, followed by Nemo and Sarah.

After a while, I could no longer see them, and the train arrived moments later. We all got onto the train, with me scanning everything in thermal vision to make sure no one was here, ignoring the fact that Connla was telling me that the hero faction is long gone. Once the train was scanned, everyone entered the train, with Asia, Xenovia, Kiba, and Irina entering the student area while the rest of us went into the faculty car. I was sitting between Yasaka and Rossweisse, and in the seats across from me sat Connla, Azazel, and Kunou. I know it's rude to stare at one's chest, but I honestly feel bad for Lady Yasaka. Akeno has back pain from her own breasts, yet Yasaka's are quite possibly twice that size, so Yasaka must be in constant pain. I should probably learn messaging techniques to help her with pain.

"So Connla, why are you here?" Azazel asked the shadow user. "You could have killed (Y/N), yet you didn't?"

"To be honest, my opinion on the hero's faction's actions weren't exactly positive." Connla informed us. "I assumed it was because of my standards, but I began feeling sick about the actions of the hero faction, but at some point, I accepted their behavior as normal hero behavior. But then (Y/N) came along, and he struck me as a true hero."

"So you're one of the people who thought he was basically an anomaly with how innocent and sometimes naive he is?" Azazel questioned, and Connla nodded. "Join the club, I swear, this kid is a walking anomaly, like being able to wield the True Longinus is weird as hell, so I wonder if he could use Issei's boosted gear..."

"Forgive me for interrupting, but I'm curious about something." Yasaka then turned her attention to me. "I am grateful for your assistance, but I'm curious as to why you helped us. You in particular didn't gain anything of value, yet you were the most determined out of everyone."

"Oh, I just wanted to help." I answered honestly, during the whole endeavor, I was focused on rescuing Yasaka, but now that it's done, I don't think I should get a reward. "I don't know why, but I just like helping people."

"(Y/N)'s is the kind of kid who wants to be nice to everyone, but it only really works if his temper doesn't get the better of him." Azazel leaned back in his chair. "Though that almost never happens, I think it has only happened like twice."

"Still, there has to be something in it for you..." Yasaka began thinking, but I kept trying to convince her that I don't need anything. "So what do you like (Y/N)? Money? Mansions? Fancy cars?"

"I like flowers, oh, and food too." I answered, almost forgetting about food. "I also like learning things like history, science, and mythology, but in my spare time flowers and food are my favorite things."

"That's surprising, and is that it?" Yasaka suddenly began clinging to my arm. "You know, if you want something else, I'm okay with giving Kunou a sibling~"

"S-Sorry, but (Y/N) isn't interested in that s-stuff, and he said that he'll only do it with the w-woman he m-marries." Rossweisse started clinging defensively to my other arm, and while Yasaka did look surprised, we were surprised when she started giggling.

"Relax, that was just me teasing, I was curious to see what kind of expression he would make." Yasaka giggled. "He kind of has this cute charm about him, so I wanted to see his face turn red. Though seeing Rossweisse's red face is a suitable replacement."

"H-Hey!" Rossweisse pouted as she leaned her head on my shoulder. "You know what, I have a headache, is it okay if I sleep like this (Y/N)?"

"Sure, if it helps, I would advise you to drink some water if you have a headache, or eat something." I advised the tired Valkyrie, who was already passed out, with her head on my shoulder.

"Mother, can I ask you to please keep your flirting down? That's the King of Hope." Kunou informed her mother, who suddenly went very pale.

"Forgive me, I am usually not that indecent, I just wanted to see your reaction." Yasaka apologized for her earlier flirting behavior, but I forgave her before she apologized. "I had no idea you were the King of Hope."

"Don't worry too much about it, I recognize your behavior as being harmless, so no need to apologize." I suddenly yawned. "You know, if it's alright with you, I'll just take a nap right now."

"Feel free to, I'll wake you up when we arrive."

(Timeskip, brought to you by a sleeping Rossweisse resting her head on (Y/N)'s shoulder while a sleeping (Y/N) rested his head on Rossweisse's head as the two slept on the train)

We arrived at the lighthouse mansion at dusk, when the sun was setting. The lighthouse mansion still looked to be in one piece. I pulled a key to the mansion out of my pocket to unlock the door, noticing how the lights were on inside. The moment I entered the mansion, the smell of something cooking filled my nostrils, and I was able to pinpoint the exact food that was being made, enchiladas, tamales, and pozole. Given the distinct smell and use of certain spices, I'd say my father was the one cooking. The first person I saw was Rias, who looked stressed and tired as she sat on the couch. To help her out, I silently walked behind her and loomed over her before talking. "Is everything okay Rias?" I asked, and Rias' eyes shot open to look at me. "If you'd like, I can give you a message or start a bath for you."

"(Y/N)!" Rias was suddenly full of energy as hugged me, accidentally pulling me down on the couch and onto her chest. Her arms barely managed to wrap themselves around me, but they hugged me with all their strength. "I missed you so much!"

"Could you go five seconds without stuffing the poor kid into your chest?" Coyote questioned as he walked towards everyone who was entering the house, instantly noticing Yasaka and Kunou. "Oi (Y/N), did you have a kid already? I thought we gave you enough condoms."

"Golden Fox...Golden Fox Cub...Important beings..." Cernunnos appeared from the darkness of the hallway, kind of like Batman. "Radiating strong power..."

"I think we should discuss everything that happened over dinner, which should be done right about..." Anubis made himself known from a nearby table, holding his phone. "Now."

"Dinner is done everyone!" Asher popped his head out from the kitchen and noticed us walking back into the house. "Oh hey (Y/N), I'm glad you're back! Say, where's Yozakura, Sarah, and Nico? Did they go home?"

"Let's catch up over dinner."

With that said, Rias reluctantly let go of me and all of us went to the dining room, which was a long room with a long table, a lot of chairs, and an echoey room to make it easier to hear one another speak. Upon seeing my arrival, both Akeno and Koneko hugged me individually, but both were cautious of Connla, who is now living with us. Asger placed a plate in front of each chair as I sat down, with Rias sitting on my right side and Yasaka sitting on my left side. I explained to everyone how the trip to Kyoto went after they took their seats. I explained how Yasaka was kidnapped by the hero faction, how we saved her, about the fact that the Khaos Brigade has at least four Longinus users (Vali, Cao Cao, Georg, and Leonardo), apparently they wield the spirits of heroes, how I can apparently use the True Longinus as if it were my own (yet I can not summon it), about my new spell, about Sun Wukong and Nezha, how I managed to summon Jormungandr, Nico's disappearance, and how I recruited Nemo, Yozakura, and Sarah before they left. "The sun never sets on the harem empire..." Natalia muttered under her breath while looking at Yasaka. "So does this mean Akeno no longer has the biggest tits out of everyone here?"

"Mrs.(L/N), is now really the time to be focusing on the chest size?" Akeno questioned. "Someone went missing and one of the most powerful beings in Japan was kidnapped, and that's what you ask?"

"Well it's not my fault I'm envious because a high schooler has a bigger chest than I do." Natalia glared at Yasaka with envy, who sweatdropped. "I mean what do you eat? At least Asia has a normal body for someone her age."

"Akeno has a point, in order to prevent such things from happening again, I'm sending everyone who wants to join my Peerage home after I recruit them." I informed everyone. "You all will be in charge of the continent's your respective countries fall under, along with others who share the continent."

"That makes sense, though how will we communicate?" William questioned as he began eating some of the enchiladas.

"I'll make a program before you all go to better communicate, and like everyone else in the supernatural world, we will use magic circles to teleport from place to place." I continued with this. "Our priority will be to capture the Khaos Brigade, avoid unnecessary conflict, and the next time something this big happens. Contact everyone else right away."

"Kicking us out already?" Sang questioned with a joking smile. "Kidding, kidding. So why are you kicking us out this early, what about the other pieces?"

"Some of them sent me cancelation letters because they were afraid of the Khaos Brigade's power, so I need to find replacements, preferably Longinus users." I then decided. "For now, your priorities will be as follows, in descending order: Protect the innocent, protect the secret of the supernatural world, capture Khaos Brigade members, reporting any Longinus users to us, taking care of yourselves, and everything else."

"Wow, you just got back and you're already down to business, things must be bad!" Dagda was one of the few people who will be staying here, because he's not a member of my peerage at all, he just exists.  "Still, four Longinus users is bad...especially since our only one is still in a coma."

"It also doesn't help that the Old Satan faction was protesting in the underworld recently." Natalia pointed out, was that the reason Rias looked tired? "In fact, everyone here, other than Asger and I, had to go to the underworld to take care of them."

"Is everyone okay?" I asked everyone, who nodded, but they were noticeably tired. "Rias, how was it for you? If it was too hard, I can put more effort into finding the old Satan faction, or I can make a gun that shoots holy bullets for you."

"I appreciate it (Y/N), and it was more annoying than anything." Rias took a bite out of one of her tamales. "Like some old Satan members are strong, but in magic terms, most of them used overly specific powers. Like one guy was able to control ducks and another commanded camels."

"Ms...Gremory...fears camels..." Cernunnos was just staring at his food, and now that I think about it, how was he going to eat with that mask on? "An odd fear..."

"Well their teeth are scary!" Rias justified her fear with a red face, then she cleared her throat and spoke to Kunou and Yasaka. "Anyways, Yasaka, Kunou, you two will be living with us for how long?"

"Just until the Khaos Brigade is no longer a threat." Kunou sounded rather formal, and I was curious until I remembered she was surrounded by several deities and heroes. "Or at least until that archeologist's spell wears off."

"I hope you two enjoy your stay, and just so you know, there's a path to the nearby beach in the backyard, so you guys can go there to unwind." Galahad recalled that beach, wait, does that beach even have a name? "Though when the red dragon wakes up, I'd advise against wearing a swimsuit."

"Wait, is he really that big of a pervert in real life?" Yasaka questioned, and all of us looked at her. "I thought that was just a quirk to add in the show."

"No, they just made it G-rated for the show, he's even worse in real life." Rias didn't even hesitate.

"If he went to Kyoto, he would have asked to see your breasts as payment for the rescue." Akeno states as she used one of her chopsticks to stab one of her enchiladas.

"He's a degenerate." Koneko took a bite out of one of her tamales.

"Please don't insult my best friend right in front of me..." I requested as I began finishing up my dinner.

After dinner was done, Natalia and Asger agreed to take care of the dishes, since we're the ones who end up fighting a lot, they do most of the chores when things are bad, like with the Khaos Brigade situation right now. I told those who wanted to join my Peerage to meet me at the top of the lighthouse, since there was a balcony we could stand on. The order was Cernunnos, Sangkuriang, Coyote, Crow, William, Galahad, Connla, Rossweisse, Quetzalcoatl, Hanuman, Anubis, Souri, Paul, Hua, Jiang, and Nahele. I then pulled my cards out of my pocket and held them to my friends.

"So everyone, pick a card."

(A/N: Okay kiddos, no more OC's until the Azazel Cup, well, more characters will be mentioned, but still, they're not not that important. The only OC's that are going to remain are Natalia, Asger, Dagda, Miach, Scathach, [REDACTED] and the remaining ultimate students. The first are for obvious reasons, Dagda is just a freeloader, everyone forgets Miach anyways, Scathach is the mentor, [REDACTED] is important for later reasons, and I can't come up with a good reason to send away the remaining ultimate students because they're from Japan. Also, there won't be many more OC's anymore, because I think you guys need a break. I was planning to introduce three or five more OC's, and I'll introduce them in the next chapter, but they won't be that important, you just need to know they exist. Everyone else in the peerage is going to be an actual character in the series to make it easier for you guys. The important ones have already been introduced and/or already canonical characters. To make it easier, I'll provide an organized list in the next chapter to help you guys keep track. Anything else I should do to help you keep track of the characters? Don't hesitate to let me know, it will be no hassle at all. And I'm not just saying that to be polite. As much as I wanna write this fanfic, I want this to be an engaging book for you guys that you all can follow.
