There hasn’t been a day that has gone by ever since Kanata had been, for the lack of better term, ‘a guest’ to Sector Seven thanks to Kokonoe. If anything, it was more of a shock on how someone like Kanata had grown so close and affectionate to someone like the half-beastkin scientist since it was pretty apparent that she is hardly ever friendly at all, save for the Red Devil himself and one of her former colleagues that works as a clinic doctor.

So how is it that this dog beastkin, who claims to be a demon from a universe far from this one, who is able to accept what scalding words and occasional indifference from the scientist, who is more or less a complete outsider to the organization, is able to win the heart and the full tsun and the dere affections of the brilliant mind of Sector Seven?

“Oh, it’s pretty easy. I just let her suck on my mana!”

Wait, what? And like a true character of NIS, the Demon Dog King continued to explain to the fourth wall. “You see, mana back in my world comes from all sorts of things. And they are all VERY sweet if you eat them. So when she is having a bad mood, I just whip out my mana and tell her to open wide for a real tasty treat! After that, then she gets happy--”

“Who the hell are you talking to,” the tiny pink haired scientist quipped as she darted her gaze over to where Kanata was… before going back to making some upgrades on Tager’s body. “Don’t start spouting crazy shit while I’m working here. If something’s wrong with your mouth, stand in line for a minute so I can bolt it shut.”

Which, with such a threat that can be either serious or in jest, makes the demon king shrug with a small sigh. “Of course, it could also be because I let her use me as a test subject so she can make some pretty awesome stuff for me to play with. But she definitely has her cute moments! It’s worth the patience and the grumps, believe me~”

Throughout his travels in the world, Rock knew that there were strong fighters out there, and if he wanted to become stronger then he’ll need to beat them. And since he had taken part of the King of Fighters tournaments in the past, he knew that there were women who were not as weak as he had once thought before. And now, he is once again taking on another person who is not as strong as the powerhouses he had fought against before, but her experience and techniques were just as impressive.

Whether it was the teenage kid in him that didn’t want to accept that he’ll lose or what, it didn’t matter as soon as he had thrown a punch directed towards the solar plexus of Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye, whom only parried the attack with her forearm to be re-directed somewhere else. But now that he is this close, Rock then made the attack of an arcing strike to the side of her head! And the Lieutenant’s response? As soon as the balled fist came close, a hand was snapped to catch the fist while another was shot out like a spring to strike Rock’s elbow with her palm. It was like a fluid motion that he couldn’t see until it was too late:

Riza soon had slid her hold on him while he was in a state of confusion and adrenaline rush to make her move by ducking and weaving UNDER his arm while still holding onto his arm and then was right behind him, with one hand grabbing his wrist while pulling away from his body and the other hand right on his shoulder, allowing Rock’s momentum to help drive him down to the ground face first.

“You’ve fought pretty good, and you’ve got an impressive display of power for someone who isn’t even an alchemist… but…” She then releases her hold of the rookie and slowly pushes herself to stand up. “Power isn’t the only thing ever to use in a confrontation. Without control and a clear head, that power is only wasted and will turn on against you.”

Rock, now sore with both an injured pride and probably a pulled muscle, couldn’t help but let our a small grumble. She wasn’t wrong, because no doubt Terry would have said the same thing… but he didn’t want to lose either! And now this all felt like rubbing salt on the wound! And right as he was about to turn over? There was a hand offered to help him up and a small warm smile given from Riza. “But, whoever your instructor was sure did teach you well.”

While under normal circumstances, such a thing would leave the rookie feeling a bit awkward since Riza IS a woman… but at the same time, she is also a fellow fighter that sees him as an equal. So it was without any hesitation that Rock reached out and held her hand firmly. “… thanks.”

“Come on, it’s not too bad!”

“I don’t know… it feels like I’m almost naked.”

“Weren’t you the one who just said you were feeling like an outsider and wanted to fit in? You’re fine, just go in!”

It seems that today was a day for the beach over at Earth! The final days of summer, as Nonbe had put it before. While the traditions that takes place in this world are still so fascinating and different, he couldn’t help but notice that there may be some truth to Nonbe’s words. Never had he seen such a place so busy and packed full of people than before! Whatever happens the week after must be important, since it seems everyone is wanting to have the time of their life!

But then again, swimsuits also became a thing. And showers. That was also an interesting thing. Apparently to part take in these events, you have to remove all of your clothes and be stuffed into some breezy, yet elastic shorts and be dunked in water to be clean before going in! Something about getting used to the water-- a concept that Honori was very foreign to and poor Tauhn had to guide the young monk on this new path of enlightenment of modern wonders.

But here is the problematic part! Right out of the mens dressing room, Honori is clung to the wall just right before the exit and suddenly is getting hit with a nasty strike of modesty! Sure, all he had given to him were simple blue-black Hawaiian designed shorts, but that was it! The rest of his pale complexion was visible and it made him very self-conscious. But what was the issue at the core here?

“C’mon Honori, no one is going to mind that you’re not some buff dude walking around without a shirt on!”

“They thought I was A GIRL with no shirt on!”

“Well maybe you should have just cut your hair to begin with!”

“They should have noticed it with my voice-- h-hey, wait, what are you doing?!”

With a burning hot red face, the young summoner stomped her way at the walkway where Honori was just hiding behind at, grabbed him at the ponytail, and starts stomping right back out in a huff-- all while going “SEE?! SEE?! NO ONE MINDS!!” in the midst of Honori’s complaints about her pulling too hard.

It kind of makes an older brother let out a small sigh and wonder just how those two will make it years later down the road like this.

“Hmm.” It is not often that the mini King of Heroes would have something so fixated on his mind, but there is one particular thing that he can’t shake off. And even moreso when he is staring at the pirate girl that is with him while taking a dip in the hot springs on the Island. While before, it would be rather an amusing flustered reaction for the two to decide to meet up at such a place. Now? It just seems like something natural to do while they just be at their separate sides and occasionally surprise one another by suddenly leaping out from a rock next to them for kicks.

But in this case, this particular problem had presented itself the moment the king had laid his eyes upon it. He isn’t upset, but more like evaluating something here…

“Mm! I’ve decided! That’s no good. No good at all, May,” Gil said as he places a fist into his palm in an ‘aha’ manner. “When we are done, you should really fix that.”

“Uh, Gil? Fix what, exactly?” The two had been together for who knows how long for some time now, but they aren’t at the level of being able to read each others minds just yet!

And that’s when Gil makes his surprise leap over towards her to close in the distance between the two-- which ends with him grabbing her hair and holding it up at the back of her head while he playfully bops his head against hers, just to get that blush of hers going. “This. You definitely look cuter when your hair is up like this, you know! Of course you do look cute with your hair down too, but ponytails suit you the best!”

And of course May had blushed-- whether it was from the compliment or the steam from the springs is up to debate, when Gilgamesh had appeared. But she then whispered something that he barely caught.

“…lose…”

“Lose? Wha--”

“You’re too close!!!”

And right after that, a loud smack, a loud scream, and a whale shaped pool had been made that night. But from that night on, May seemed to make sure her hair was up whenever Gilgamesh decided to pay her a visit.

There were times when Gilgamesh and Shana had fought each other, and there were times that they’ve made up. And then there were times they’ve fought each other just for the sake of sizing each other up all in good fun in the end, but when the day is done and hopefully by chance he is in his younger form, the two do sneak at night to have a moment with each other at the beach.

Of course, there were times when the two fought each other during the day at the beach for dramatic reasons, but in times like these? It’s when they truly relax and unwind at the Island. A coconut in one hand, and whatever food producing Noble Phantasm has in his treasury because holy shit, what DOESN’T he have in there… its just moments like these that the two could enjoy their ‘Adult only time”, as Shana called it once before going into a drunken rampage. And it took some time to convince May that it was just a long day for her and that Gil would watch her drinking limit--

… of course, he said that just so HE could enjoy it too. Having May play the mother hen can be nice, but also overbearing at times. So he takes one sip of his liquor filled coconut and letting out a sigh.

“Feels good tonight, huh?”

“Yeah…”

“Haaah… hopefully we’ll at least enjoy the moment while it lasts.” And another sip from the coconut.

“Yeah…”

“Hmmmm,” The little king then glances over to Flame Haze in midsip again before speaking once more. “Hey, Shana. Are you alright? You‘re starting to sound a little--” But what stopped Gilgamesh wasn’t an interruption of a triple SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT UP scream fest, or some intruder coming in to stop their fun. What caught him off guard? Was that his drinking partner was already down on her third coconut and slooooooowly turning her face over to give Gilgamesh a wide grin and a cherry red face. “What are you talking about? I’m feeling preeeeeeeetty good.”

“Buh--!!” Oh god! Alcohol going up the nose! It burns! It burns! After a series of nose rubbing and sputtering, the little king leaned over Shana to take a closer look at her coconut in her hands and the two discarded ones next to her! “You’re on your third one already?! That was fast! That’s way too fast! You’re not even enjoying it, are you?!”

“Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!!” Shana fumed and went back to drinking her coconut. Whatever good mood she had going for a moment was replaced with drunken annoyance before slamming the shell down onto the sandy ground before crossing her arms. “It’s been too long since we’ve had a moment like this, so I’m going to enjoy every second I get! You’ve been spending way too much time with her for a long while, so stop complaining! It’s my turn, got it?!”

“That’s… why you’re drinking?” A small sigh escaped from the little king and went back to drinking his coconut. So that’s what it was… ever since the fight between himself, Shana, and May with their last time out, it ended in a not-so-stellar result. He then shifts his weight to have himself completely leaning on the Flame Haze. “So that’s why you’re feeling huffy? You’re so silly… there’s no need to get jealous, you know.”

“I’m not jealous,” she huffed and looked away from Gil. “Its just we didn’t get to do our usual routine for so long, it became annoying because the schedule felt so off. Just be glad I’ve accepted doing this with you agai-- eh?!”

But what stopped her from that ramble was Gilgamesh planting a small kiss on her cheek and then slid down to use the opportune moment to use her lap as a pillow. “Fine fine, miss princess. You’re not jealous, but you are very comfortable!” He then gives Shana a wink and a very wide smirk. “And before you say anything, I’m ‘drunk’ myself. So we both can use that excuse for tonight on whatever~”

Torn between wanting to smack the blonde king right up his head or punch him in the face, all Shana could to at that point is just give a small smirk and then raise the coconut back up to her lips as she flicked his forehead. “You’re going to regret saying that in the morning, you idiot.”

… and boy did he ever. Not too long after they had their moment and passing out drunk, waking up to an earful from May bright and early in the morning was once again a sure sign that the two were back to their old schedule.

Empyria was still a growing Netherworld in the Netheruniverse, despite being the capital of all places. Commerce, residential, political, and other kinds of districts had existed here-- but ever since Kanata officially became the Overlord of the Netheruniverse with Tsubaki as one of his advisors, he saw to it that she was with him no matter what projects has been approved by him!

A form of power plant via industrialism by using prinnies as laborers? They were there to see it happen! When transportation was needed to travel from one Netherworld to another through space? It was done by using the blueprints of Flonne’s ship for safe travels! Not enough for the economy of Empyria? Run job requirements for the brandly new named profession: “Heroes of Emypria” to go on adventures to fetch ores and other rare materials for trade! It was basically whatever Kanata decided to do, Tsubaki was there with him to ensure that his orders are being carried out.

And his latest idea ever for the sake of his people’s happiness? Creating a festival district for those who wish to have fun. With families, or friends, or just to enjoy themselves… through out the years and no matter how old you are, everyone wants to have fun and enjoy themselves after a hard and rough day, right? And that was when Kanata had cheerfully taken Tsubaki’s hand, much to her discontent and annoyance, and lead the way to the ferris wheel! While it would have been a point to lecture Kanata for his obvious forceful persuasion techniques, but it seems he didn’t want to hear any of it. And sure enough, the two were sitting in a carriage and slowly climbing upward to the sky as the district and soon a good portion of Empyria is seen.

“Hey Tsubaki… look. Doesn’t it look amazing,” The Demon Dog King asked with a warm smile on his face as the two had stopped at the very top and looking out of the cart. Tsubaki was about to make a comment, but oddly enough, she was surprised at the alarmingly mature look on her lord’s face. “The people out there. Look at them. Humans, demons, and angels all alike having fun and enjoying themselves. It’s like the worries and hard times they were having are all gone. This… this is what truly makes me happy to be a demon king of this place.”

“Master Kanata?” Ooookay, that was kind of unexpected. Much less so from someone who is so carefree from Kanata. It took her a moment to process those words and from whom it was said from to get it through her head-- and once that has been completed, she couldn’t help but give a small warm smile at him. So… it looks like the young pup has finally showing signs of growing up. “I see. So even with your passion, you wish to share your happiness with others. By doing what you can to help Empyria, you want to reward people for your hard work. Is that right, Master Kanata?”

And right on cue, the Demon Dog King wagged his tail and lets out something like a happy bark! “Yep! That’s exactly right! I know I have much to learn on how to be a proper Demon God King like my ancestors before me, but I’ll give it my all! It’ll be hard, and it’ll be rough… but I’m counting on you to help me out, Tsubaki.” He thumps his chest to emphasize his pride and hot-blooded passion… and then squeezed the hand he was still holding from her. “Let’s do our best together, Tsubaki. Our adventure together hasn’t ended yet… it’s just a whole brand new chapter for us!”

Whether that was something of a blush from his actions or his words, there was something… inspiring about his words? Or perhaps his promises along with his optimism that made it somewhat cute. But there is something that needs to be done first to make this truly a good moment to remember forever:

“Master Kanata… do be the strongest demon king that you aspire to be, you do know you’ll have to reach level 9999 at least, correct?”

“W-Wha-- really?! But I’m only level 999!! We‘ve reached our level cap already!”

“Yes, yes… however… if you wish to get stronger then…”

After all, a little lie here and there to mess with Kanata always made it worth it to see how naïve he is~
