(A/N: Sorry about the slow updates still. We just moved into the rental house, but we don't have internet yet so I'm crashing at a friend's place to write and upload. However, small things can distract me so it takes longer to write out a chapter. I had to edit a large portion of this chapter because I made way too many simple mistakes and threw in a bunch of plot holes that needed to be patched up before they could take root...
So yeah, until our house gets internet late next week, it'll still be slow updates...
Anyway, enjoy the chapter and thanks for reading.)

"Fuaaa~!"
Marin woke up with a yawn and stretched her arms out, shaking a bit as her tails bristled.
"Mn? Hubby?"
She looked around, but couldn't find David.
Just as she was about to run out of the room and search for him, she heard Yoruichi's masculine voice coming from beside her.
"He went to the store for some milk. Apparently, he ran into a girl from another franchise that happens to be his neighbor."
Marin shuddered. "Seriously, Yoruichi. I'll never get used to your voice like that... Why'd he go get milk, didn't he just buy a bunch last night?"
Yoruichi licked her paw and shrugged as best as she could in her cat form. "He forgot... Sounds like him going on Dimensional Quests will screw with his time perception a bit."
"Ah, that makes sense... Ah, that reminds me~! I get to go see the Cradle when he gets back, eheheh~. Wanna come, Yoruichi? He's still pretending that you're just a cat so he shouldn't have a reason to not let you in, right~?"
"Hmm... That doesn't sound too bad, but I'll pass for now. Maybe next time."
Marin reached out and scratched behind Yoruichi's ears. "Fiiine~. So who was the girl he ran into?"
"Going by what I heard, it seems her name is Akeno and she's from the franchise called 'High School DxD'. I didn't learn anything else about it and only know that there's apparently another girl called Rias... Now that I think about it, when I first heard his voice, I heard him mention a devil called Rias Gremory from the same franchise. I'm sure they're the same person, but David hasn't said anything about the franchise."
"Ehh~? I remember it now, but I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Are devils not evil beings like they're usually seen as?"
Yoruichi shook her head. "No, just like humans, there are both good and bad devils. There are also good and bad demons. There are not many races that are inherently good or evil, other than angels. However, even angels are a bit different as there are angels from different heavens, just like there are demons from different demonic realms."
Marin tilted her head. "Huh? How does that work?"
Yoruichi splayed her legs out and laid down lazily. "How should I know? I just know that there are different heavens with different angels that abide by different rules... Ask your husband, he's apparently the one who created this universe, right?"
Marin snorted, "Pfft, as if. You know I can't say anything about what I've heard from his inner voice. Saying, 'You created the universe, can you tell me the logic behind the different races' existences?' wouldn't work and you know that."
"Well, that's about all you can do. My knowledge is mainly centered around the Soul Society and I had very little interaction with other factions. The group that Rangiku and Isane talked about, The Twilight Accord, would probably be able to offer better information, but that's got nothing to do with me. Anyway, let's go downstairs; I want some milk."
"Kyahaha~! You're so quick to go from serious to milk-craving."
Yoruichi jumped off the bed and strutted to the bedroom door.
"Whatever, I've got a craving for strawberry milk now and I can't wait any longer."
Marin climbed out of bed and walked over to David's wardrobe.
"Fine, but let me get dressed first."
She looked through the wardrobe and picked out an oversized t-shirt and black sweatpants David brought from the orphanage.
It was a light blue t-shirt with a big sun on the front and the words "House of Blue Skies" printed on the back.
The shirt covered Marin's upper body and stopped right above her knees, though it was slightly lifted in the back as her tails were in the way.
"Mmm, this shirt smells just like David. I love it~!"
Marin smiled and skipped over to the door, opening it and heading downstairs with Yoruichi.
When they arrived downstairs and entered the kitchen, they heard the front door open and saw David walking in with bags full of strawberry milk.
"Good morning, hubby~! Did you forget that you bought stuff last night?"
David blushed a bit in embarrassment at Marin's words, but casually shook his head.
"Nope, it's just that you can never have enough strawberry milk, okay? Plus, I wanted to give some to the black cat. Cats like milk, right?"
He walked up to the fridge and put away his milk before leaving a few bottles out for him and Yoruichi.
Looking around, David spotted the white porcelain bowl he created for Yoruichi before he left for his quest and manipulated the air around it, causing it to float directly to his hand.
"Whoa~, how'd you do that?!" Marin asked with wide eyes.
David raised his eyebrow. "...Magic?"
Marin shook her head and said, "No, I'm more sensitive to magic now that I got my powers and I can tell that it's much more than just 'magic'! What was that??"
"Haha, ah, I see what you mean. I'll tell you the specifics later as even I'm still unsure of how it happened, but I now have the ability to manipulate the four basic elements of fire, water, earth, and air. I manipulated the air to make the bowl float over, though that's about all I can do with the air element right now. It'll take a lot of practice, but I have some ideas on how to further my progress with it."
Marin gave David a wide smile. "Ohhh~! That's super awesome!"
David just smiled and nodded as he filled up Yoruichi's bowl with the delicious pink milk he's so addicted to.
He set the bowl down on the counter and said, "Alright, cat, drink up. I'll keep the stock of milk full so let me know if you want any more."
Yoruichi jumped on the counter and made a, "Meowww~!" in response before she began lapping up the milk.
"You want one, too?" David asked as he held out a bottle to Marin.
Marin just nodded and took the milk before they all began drinking their fill.
A minute later, they were done and each of them had a pink milk mustache.
"Alright, we'll consider that breakfast for now. Do you want to go see the Cradle now or do you want to wait until after you're done doing whatever it is you had planned with Rangiku and Isane?"
Marin looked excited as she said, "No no, I wanna go now! Let's go~!"
David just chuckled and shook his head before turning around and waving his hand.
A Mist Gate appeared in front of him that led to his bedroom in his manor.
He then looked back and held out his hand.
"Come on, I'll give you a tour."
Marin nodded and quickly ran up to David and held his hand.
⟪ Hm... It's fine if Yoruichi stays back, but I feel kinda bad for her being stuck with Rangiku and Isane. Poor Yoruichi, hopefully she can keep hiding herself well and not let them find out... I'll make it up to her in the future somehow, I'm sure. Proving Urahara innocent should be good enough, yeah? Yeah, because I definitely wasn't planning on doing that anyway, heh... ⟫
David shook his head and pulled Marin through the Mist Gate, instantly arriving in his manor's bedroom.
The first things they saw were two big-breasted beauties laying on David's bed, each hugging one or more of his pillows and enjoying his lingering scent.
『 Marin Kitagawa (Foxy Otaku): Tsk tsk tsk, to think you'd show this sight in front of hubby first thing in the morning... As the first wife, I must say I am shocked! 』
Marin sent a message in the Empress Chat's '# general' channel when she noticed who the two were, based on the descriptions David gave her last night.
She wasn't too upset, but she had to find a way to brag about her 'first wife' status somehow, right?
Hearing the notification in their heads, Tomoe and Mio slowly opened up their eyes and mentally checked the Empress Chat.
『 Tomoe (Feudal Fangirl): What are you talking about? 』
Mio also wanted to respond, but her and Tomoe had cleared their minds at the same time and noticed David's slightly stunned expression.
"Young master/husband!"
They weren't embarrassed at all and jumped out of bed, launching themselves into David's arms.
Tomoe swung her hips to the left side and attempted to push Mio out of the way so that she could snuggle with David more.
However, Mio wouldn't be outdone. She resisted the hip check perfectly and countered with her own hips, using more force than Tomoe and sending her stumbling off to the side a bit.
Mio kept a calm expression as she hugged David's chest and said, "I missed you, husband~. If you won't sleep in the Cradle, you must at least allow me to come to your world and sleep there, okay?"
David smiled and gently kissed Mio on the forehead.
"Sorry, I missed Marin and wanted to give her some alone time. However, you two are free to come to my world and sleep with me at any time."
Before Mio could respond, Tomoe recovered and launched herself at Mio, sending her flying into the wall while Tomoe snuggled up to David and rubbed her face on his chest.
"Umu, we shall respect your time with your other women, but you must never neglect us, young master."
David wanted to say something about her blatantly attacking Mio, but decided to just rub her head and smile.
Mio came back and was about to retaliate further when she felt David's hand on her head.
"Alright, both of you calm down. You should know not to fight over me, right? Here, let me introduce you. This is Marin Kitagawa, my first wife."
Tomoe and Mio sized up Marin and had to admit that she was indeed incredibly beautiful.
"Marin, this is Tomoe and Mio, my second and third wives and your new sisters."
Marin smiled and looked at her sisters, finding them quite nice to look at.
"Kyahaha~! Hubby has such beautiful wives! It's nice to meet you both! My name is Marin Kitagawa and I'm a half-human, half-kitsune. After the tour, you two should come with me to the outside world and meet the others that are staying with David! We're going to go out later today and it would totally rock if you guys came with us!"
Marin attacked Tomoe and Mio with her bubbly energy, causing them to lower their guards and smile.
"Well, I suppose it would only be polite to accompany you. Is our husband not going with us?"
"No~, he wants to stay in and work for the next few days. It'll just be us!"
"Hm? Young master, are you not going to bring Makoto back home?"
David's lip twitched at Tomoe's words as he felt guilty. He had indeed forgot all about bringing Makoto home today.
"I'll take him back after the tour."
Tomoe and Mio nodded, not surprised by David's forgetfulness.
"By the way, where's Komoe-chan? I wanted to meet her~!" Marin asked as she looked around the room.
Tomoe walked over to David's bed and removed the big blankets on it, revealing a little girl with green and white hair who was fast asleep.
⟪ Ah, my heart... My daughter is so cute when she's asleep! ⟫
David had to resist the urge to jump into bed and snuggle with Komoe.
Marin covered her mouth and squealed. "Hiiii~! She's so freakin' adorable~!!!"
Without the blankets muffling the outside sounds, Komoe could hear Marin perfectly, causing her to wake up and rub her eyes groggily.
"Mmm... Papa...?" Komoe asked as she looked around half-asleep.
David calmly walked up to the bed and took a seat next to Komoe, picking her up and setting her in his lap before he rested his chin on the top of her head.
"Good morning, Komoe-chan. I brought someone here to meet you."
Komoe turned around and hugged David without responding, trying to fall back asleep.
⟪ Alright, it's settled. Komoe is living in the penthouse from now on. I'll permanently connect a room in the manor to the penthouse later... Being separated from my daughter is too heavy a burden on my heart! ⟫
David rubbed Komoe's back and whispered in her ear, "Do you want to meet another Mama?"
Komoe jerked her head back and looked up at David with twinkling eyes. "Yes! Where's my new Mama??"
David chuckled and rotated Komoe so she could see Marin.
"Her name is Marin and she's my first wife."
Marin walked up with her mouth covered and her hands slightly trembling.
[Marin] 'Oh my god, she's so freakin' cute~!'
"Hi, Komoe-chan~! You can call me whatever you want, but I'd really like to get to know you better in the future! You're so cute, I just want to show you off to everybody in the world!"
Marin was struggling to keep her composure as Komoe really was way too cute, especially when she just woke up and still looked tired and had bedhead.
"Mm, I'll call you Mama Marin! I want to know all of my Mamas!"
[Marin] 'Kyaaa~! I'm gonna die~!'
Marin looked up at David with a pleading expression, wordlessly asking for permission to pick up Komoe.
David nodded and held up Komoe.
Marin took her in her arms and held her tight before she rubbed her cheeks against Komoe's.
"Haaa, you're too cute, Komoe-chan~! Is it okay if I hold you while I take a tour around the Cradle?"
Komoe smiled and nodded her head. "Sure! I think you'll like the Cradle! There are a lot of pretty places and even dungeons! I like to go into the Goblin Warrens dungeon and kick and punch all of the monsters!"
Marin chuckled and patted Komoe's head as they all left the bedroom and headed out of the manor, starting their tour of the Cradle.
'That reminds me, I need to check out the dungeon barrier on the 49th floor that Tomoe told me about... Ugh, so many things to do--wait... Goblin Warrens?'
"Komoe-chan, did you come up with the name for the dungeon?" David asked, a little sad that he couldn't be the one to name the dungeons.
Komoe shook her head. "No, one of the Goblin Generals said the name when I was playing in it the other day."
"Eh? The monsters in the dungeon can talk?"
Before Komoe could respond, Tomoe chimed in and said, "They can technically speak, but they all seem to say pre-programmed responses. You can't really hold a conversation with them and they can't leave the dungeon so we just consider them puppets of the dungeons."
David nodded in understanding. "So, what dungeons have you guys discovered so far?"
Tomoe thought for a moment and said, "Let's see... There's the Goblin Warrens dungeon with minotaurs on the lower levels, the Porcine Labyrinth which has bunch of pig-type monsters and is a great source of pork, the Roosting Cavern which has a lot of bird-type monsters and is a great source of poultry, and the newly discovered Verdant Hollows. The Verdant Hollows has a bunch of plant-type monsters, but also has a lot of wild herbs, vegetables, and grains. We found some rice in there which will be helpful for providing everyone with a staple food now."
David took in all of the information and was amazed.
⟪ So, the dungeons inside my Cradle can provide beef, pork, poultry, vegetables, herbs, and rice? What's next, a dungeon that can produce sake? Damn, my residents will be living like kings once we get these things in circulation, heheh~! ⟫
Shaking off his thoughts, David and his group left the estate and started their tour, leaving Marin wide-eyed and excited.
...
In a small store on the outskirts of Ochanomizu, a man wearing a green-and-white striped bucket hat, a dark green kimono-style outfit, and wooden clogs was standing in front of a teenage boy and girl.
"Ha! See? I told you I was right, you two are definitely going to attend Hoshinoumi Academy. I'll work my magic and it'll be as if you two were always enrolled! You can go on Monday with the rest of the students, okay?"
The teenage boy with slicked back red hair kicked his foot on the ground. "Tch! If it weren't Yoruichi-san who sent the information, I wouldn't believe it... Whatever, we just have to go to school and make friends with the guy, right?"
Hat-and-clogs stuck his arms in his sleeves and nodded. "That's right~! His name is David Star and he already has the attention of the Gotei 13 on him. He had a run-in with some Shinobi girls the other day so it's highly likely that other factions are also paying attention to him. Judging by how he worked to protect others and how he easily defeated an Arrancar, this young man should be exceptionally strong."
The teenage girl with black hair and long bangs going between her eyes looked down and sheepishly raised her hand.
"Yes, Ururu?"
Ururu, still looking down, said, "If Jinta-kun and I both go to school, wouldn't he be more likely to meet and befriend David Star? Jinta-kun will be in the first year and I'll be in the third year. I don't think I will have much of a chance to meet him, right?"
Hat-and-clogs tilted his head. "Hm? That shouldn't matter, right? High schools aren't that big so it's not like you'd completely miss your chance."
A tall black man with dreadlocks walked out of the shop carrying a box of sundries and said, "Urahara, do you not know anything about Hoshinoumi Academy?"
Hat-and-clogs, or Urahara, turned to look at the tall black man and said, "No? It's just a school, right? Do you know more about it, Tessai?"
Tessai sighed imperceptibly. "Hoshinoumi Academy is a giant educational institute that teaches kids from pre-school to high school. It takes in students from multiple wards around Tokyo and has the largest faculty in Japan. There are multiple teachers working under multiple principals who work under a single dean of the academy. Ururu was correct in her worry that she wouldn't be able to meet David Star if the conditions aren't right. We were told he is a first-year high school student, but there are multiple buildings for first-years as well as for second- and third-years... Do you see where I'm getting at?"
Urahara stood still for a few moments until he waved his sleeve. "Meh, it'll be fine. I trust that Jinta and Ururu will do their best. Besides, it'll be good for them to interact with humans their own age anyway."
He then turned to Jinta and Ururu and said, "You two just need to make friends with him and see where he stands. While I don't hold much love for the Gotei 13, Yoruichi said that David holds important information and can help with upcoming troubles, almost like he can see the future... Now those are her words, not mine, okay? I don't much believe in seeing into the future, but I do believe in Yoruichi. Now, it's a bright new day so let's get to work~!"
Urahara quickly ran off back into the shop with a carefree smile, leaving Tessai, Jinta, and Ururu outside.
Once inside, he pulled out a smartphone and dialed a number before lifting it to his ear.
"What's up, Urahara? Got anything fun for me?" The voice on the other line asked.
"Shinji, where's Lisa?"
"Funny you should mention her. She took off last night and didn't say where she was going, but Hiyori and Mashiro seem to know. Dunno why, but they won't tell me a thing about it."
Urahara furrowed his brow. "Hm... If you see Lisa, let her know I have a long-term job for her to take with Jinta and Ururu. In fact, Hiyori and Mashiro can take the job, too, though I'm not sure how receptive Hiyori would be or how well Mashiro could do... Anyway, just tell them to come to my shop so I can discuss things with them."
"Huh? Why does it have to be all girls? Just what kind of pervy job are you wanting them to take?"
"It's not a pervy job! I just need them to make friends with someone and according to Yoruichi, this person gets along better with females. Nothing pervy about it, dammit!"
"Alright then, I'll tell Hiyori and Mashiro. When I see Lisa next, I'll tell her, too. Who's the person you need them to make friends with?"
"David Star. First-year high school student and someone with enough power to easily kill an Arrancar. He's living in a place called Roselia Heights in Ochanomizu."
On the other end of the phone, Shinji, a young-looking man with blonde hair in a bowl-cut style with a constant wide grin plastered on his face turned to look at two girls who were busy sparring with each other in a large rocky arena.
"I'll let them know...," he said, hanging up the phone right after.
"Hiyori! Mashiro!" He yelled out.
The two girls stopped in their tracks and turned to look at Shinji.
"Whaddaya want, Baldy?!" A blonde-haired twin tail girl asked aggressively.
"Gotta job for you! Optional! Girls only!"
The blonde-haired twin tail girl, Hiyori, raised an eyebrow. "Girls only? What kinda pervy job is that bastard wanting us to take?!"
"Make friends with some guy named David Star! You can ask for the specifics from Urahara later!"
When Shinji mentioned the name 'David Star', both Hiyori and Mashiro looked at each other from the corner of their eyes and furrowed their brows.
"Fine! We'll go see Urahara later!"
Shinji was ready for more questions, but he found it surprisingly easy.
"Eh? Uh, okay...!"
He waved his hand and turned to go back to doing his own thing, ignoring the curious gazes coming from Hiyori and Mashiro.
"Do ya think Shinji or Urahara know about Lisa's plan or is it just a coincidence?" A cheerful green-haired girl, Mashiro, asked.
"How the hell would I know? Let's just go see what Urahara wants specifically and see where things go from there."
Mashiro nodded with a bright smile on her face. "Okay, sounds good! Lisa may have gotten a head start on us, but now we have an excuse to go meet him!"
Hiyori clicked her tongue, "Tch... Lisa just got lucky is all. Why doesn't she pick anything other than paper?! I would've been a much better choice to go first, dammit!"
Mashiro chuckled, "Heheh~, well you didn't pick anything other than rock! Just consider it our good luck that we can join her now!"
"Whatever, let's just get ready and go. I've been underground for too damn long this time."
"Mm!"
The two girls put away their weapons and headed off to prepare themselves for their upcoming job.
...
"And this is the centerpiece to the Cradle, the Dimensional Gate Tower. From it, you can go to the world I just came from. There are two doors currently active. One leads to the shitty goddess and the other one leads to Sif and Yuno's home. I'll connect a door to the penthouse later on, but in the future, it will lead to many other worlds. I'm pretty excited about it! There are also Challenge Zones..."
David was just finishing up his tour around the Cradle's town area as he pointed to the Dimensional Gate Tower and explained its functions to Marin, telling her about what the Challenge Zones are and what can be earned within.
"Wahhh~! That's so cool~! I can totally test out my powers in there!"
David smiled, but didn't say anything out loud.
⟪ This girl... So obsessed with her new powers, heheh. I guess from her perspective, she just got them last night so it makes sense. Hopefully I don't have to go on any more Dimensional Quests for a while; it screws with my sense of time severely. ⟫
As they were walking around, they saw Makoto coming out of Sayo's shop.
"Yo! Great timing!" David called out with a smile.
Makoto turned his head and saw David, Marin, Komoe, Tomoe, and Mio walking toward him.
"Hey! Is it time to go back already?"
David nodded. "Mm. I just finished giving my wife a tour of the town and was about to go back. Do you want to head out with me now or do you want to wait until I get to Jinbocho?"
"If it's not too much trouble, I'd prefer to go with you now. I love this place and the people here, but I miss my parents and sisters..."
David smiled and patted Makoto on the shoulder. "It's not any trouble at all, don't worry, brother."
Makoto widened his eyes. "B-Brother?"
"Haha, of course! It was fate that we met in another world and you're a good person. Naturally, I'd consider you as my brother even if we haven't spent much time together."
Makoto felt warm in his heart and accepted David's consideration.
"Anyway, there are some things you should be aware of. When you get back, you'll have access to all of your powers. Your body has essentially been rewritten with new rules once you entered my Cradle and while I can suppress your powers when we go back, I think it's best if you have a way to protect yourself in case anything happens in the future. You're accustomed to and can control your strength now, right?"
"Yes!"
"Hahaha, great! Also, I'm sure you already know, but I'll remind you just in case. You don't have to worry about any retaliation from that shitty goddess, nor do your parents or sisters, okay? As far as her situation's concerned, you're totally safe. However, do keep in mind what I told you when we first met. Our world has a supernatural side to it and there are dangers hidden all around, hence why I want you to keep your powers."
Makoto's lips curved into a small grin as he thought about how thoughtful David was.
[Makoto] 'I've always felt like he knows way more about me than any stranger should, but I don't feel wary. On the contrary, I feel relieved and thankful to have met him. To consider him as a brother doesn't feel too bad, heh...'
"Thanks, David. I don't think I'll ever be able to repay you for what you've done for me."
David just waved his hand. "Bah, don't worry about it. If you want to thank me, just enjoy your life and protect those who care about you. Time was frozen in our world so your family won't have missed you for too long. Also, apologize to that girl and give her a chance. She really likes you."
Makoto's eyes widened. "Eh? How do you know about that?"
"I'm God. I know everything..."
David and Makoto stared at each other seriously for a few seconds before they both burst out laughing.
"Bahahaha~! Don't worry about it, okay? Just know that I'm aware of a lot of things, but since I consider you as a brother, I'll never do anything to harm you or your loved ones, okay?"
Makoto wiped the tear out of his eye after laughing and nodded his head.
"Anyway, once we get back, we'll be in my penthouse and it'll only take about 10-15 minutes to get to Jinbocho."
David then looked over at Marin who was enjoying the bromance going on. "You ready to head back?"
Marin nodded, both excited to hang out with the girls from Bleach as well as reluctant to part from the Cradle.
"Komoe-chan, Tomoe, Mio, do you want to come out as well? I'll be leaving to take Makoto home, but you can explore my penthouse if you want while you wait."
"Yes!" They all replied enthusiastically.
"Haha, alright. Let's go then!"
David waved his hand and created a Mist Gate that led back to the penthouse's living room area.
He and Makoto walked through first, followed by Marin holding Komoe, Tomoe, and Mio.
When they exited from the other side, Rangiku, Isane, and Yoruichi who had all woken up earlier and were relaxing in the living room were stunned.
"I'm back~!" Marin said cheerily as she jumped onto the couch with Komoe.
"Welcome back~! Eh? Who's this cutie~?!" Rangiku replied, excited to see Komoe.
"Heheh~, this is Komoe-chan, David's daughter!"
Although they had heard David talking about his daughter earlier that morning, they still didn't quite believe it.
"Komoe-chan, say hello to Rangiku and Isane~!"
Komoe smiled and bowed her head. "Hello! Are you two Mama Rangiku and Mama Isane?"
Marin burst out laughing while Isane blushed.
"Hahaha~! You're a little cutie, Komoe-chan~! Nope, I'm just someone who was sent to watch over David for a few days!"
Komoe narrowed her eyes. "Are you bullying my papa...?"
Before Rangiku or Isane could respond, Marin patted her head and said, "They're not bullying him, don't worry~. They're very nice!"
Komoe visibly relaxed and smiled again. "Oh, okay! Nice to meet you, Not-Mama Rangiku and Not-Mama Isane!"
⟪ This girl is definitely doing that on purpose... ⟫
David shook his head before he put his hand on Makoto's shoulder as he looked at the girls. "Ahem... I didn't introduce him to you earlier, Marin, but I'll do so now. This is Makoto Misumi who got pulled into the other world by the shitty goddess. I found him by total coincidence and brought him back to be with his family. If you run across him in the future, please be kind to him. He's a good guy and I consider him as a brother."
Nobody believed that David found Makoto by coincidence whatsoever, not even Makoto, but none of them cared.
Makoto, on the other hand, had been stunned by the two other beautiful women staying with David, but didn't say anything about it and just bowed slightly before saying, "I'm Makoto Misumi, nice to meet you."
Marin, Rangiku, and Isane all introduced themselves politely before turning back to David.
David then motioned behind him and wanted to introduce Tomoe and Mio, but he saw that they had already run off to explore the place.
⟪ No wonder they were so quiet... ⟫
"Um... The two women who came with me are Tomoe and Mio, my other two wives, but they seem to be too excited about this place... I'm sure they'll introduce themselves later, so just hang out here for a bit while I take Makoto home."
The girls chuckled and nodded, finding Tomoe and Mio's behavior to be rather entertaining.
"Alright, Makoto, let's get your ass home," David said with a smile.
Makoto returned the smile and said, "Yes!"
He quickly bowed to the women and followed David as he walked toward the front door.
⟪ Hopefully I can just drop him off and he won't ask me to meet his family. I rather dislike his mother so it's best if I don't have to have any contact with someone like her... Whether you're stuck in an arranged marriage or not, if the guy isn't abusive or an asshole, there's no excuse for cheating. His father is a poor sod as well, forgiving her and accepting her back with open arms. Tch, I'd have just killed her or let her suffer... ⟫
David was once again letting his thoughts wander to his past as he thought of Makoto's mother.
[Chaos-chan] 'Dammit, here we go again...'
