Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 1014: Panic! At the Poolside!

Everyone hearing that just caused a few giggles but a roar of laughter from Quinn, of course, and it didn't take long before I successfully made the "rounds" through everybody else as I collapsed on the bed right next to Kaley and Dr. Nichols.

Unfortunately, I didn't witness the biggest question mark of the night to happen—or did it, perhaps(?) without our knowledge—but I sure as hell wouldn't force an interaction if one or both of them were still uncomfortable or weren't ready for it.

Besides, this night was just a pre-run of what this current group would feel like together but overall, I think that everyone else had a great time.

But once morning came, I remembered a certain person who'd always come knocking at the most inopportune time and if things weren't already weird between Dr. Nichols and Chloe, how much more could it get when Marisha, Kaley's mom came knocking and saw all of our new recruits.

'Of fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck—'

I literally jumped out of bed and woke Kaley in the process but it only took her one glance to figure out what I was so panicked about and the look of fear on her face was fucking priceless.

However, I noticed that not only was Rin not in the pile of naked women sleeping with us, but also Edith, Nancy, Mimi, and thank the fucking divines, Dr. Nichols seemed to have woken up earlier than us and would probably soften the blow a little bit when Marisha does come knocking.

Kaley whispered while still in a state of panic, "W-What time is it?!"

I dove into our pile of clothes to look for my watch, "It's already 9! We overslept!"

"Fuck! W-Where are they a-anyway—"

Quinn suddenly cut in while still laying on the bed, "I can hear you two fuckers whispering! Quiet it down! I'm sleeping!"

"FUCK!" Kaley and I mouthed to each other at the same time—ignoring the few groans coming from the rest of them—before we tried to fish out a change of clothes to head for the shower.

And luckily, as we opened the door, it was pretty peaceful and quiet, and as I tried to peek my head to see what was up on the 1st floor, it was also fucking empty.

"S-So?!" Kaley leaned in, afraid to even show a strand of hair that could be seen from below.

"W-We're good, I think… They're probably outside?"

"Yeah… Haa… Ha… Haha…"

"Ha… Hahaha…"

With that said, Kaley and I breathed a sigh of relief once more as we got into the shower and sat on the marble flooring. We were just looking at each other for a while as the water was trickling down our bodies before we shared a laugh for panicking for nothing.

However, our little celebration was cut short when we walked into the pool area and discovered that Marisha was lounging at one of the tables with Dr. Nichols.

And like Kaley knew what was in my head from just a simple glance, I somehow obtained their powers and knew the meaning behind the glance Marisha sent us when our eyes met—or it was just too fucking obvious and I could tell what was wrong due to her emerging aura and how Kaley was already moonwalking out of sight.

But yeah, I was about to grab her because I wouldn't let her let me take the fall but she then bumped into Quinn who somehow got ready in that small span of time and followed after us.

Obviously, just her height garnered a lot of attention but she was just so used to that reaction as she made her way to Dr. Nichols and casually introduced herself to Marisha:

"Yo, wait— are you Kaley's mom?"

Marisha just nodded with a smile, "Yes, I am… Nice to meet you…?"

"Quinn, not the royalty. Q-U-I-N-N. Would've loved to see you last night—"

"E-Excuse me?"

At that point, even Dr. Nichols would've griddy'd the fuck out of dodge because I'm gonna assume that she probably talked a bit with Marisha and knew that she had a husband and then Quinn just straight-up hit on her the first time they met.

However, before anything serious happened, the kids who were playing with Nancy saw Quinn towering above them—even though she was still seated—and without much thought, they excitedly made their way towards her to introduce themselves.

"Woaaaah~ Y-You're really big!"

"She's like a fridge!"

"Yeah! A coke dispenser!"

"Uh-Huh! She is—"

"HAAA—" Quinn was about to snap but she couldn't believe her eyes when she saw the smol ones admiring her from below, "Ah— The fuck— I mean— H-Hello?"

Then one after the other, the kids opted for a handshake before they introduced themselves properly. And despite getting roasted, Quinn's expression softened as she looked over them with a gentle smile.

"Y-Yeah, nice to meet you all… I'm Quinn—"

"WOAH! Did you guys hear that?!"

"YEAH! Her name's QUEEN!"

Nancy tried to cut in, "That's not—"

"That's so coooool! Queen! I wish my name's like that too!"

"Me too!"

"Yeah! Me too!"

"I-I'll go for King but I-I like the name m-mom gave m-me…"

"I'm too old to be a King too, maybe prince or something, no?"

"Yeah! And we could all be princes!"

"And princesses! Yeah!"

Then Zeus added, "Woof!"

"Yeah! What Zeus said!"

"Since when can you understand Zeus? Big Bro Sky's the only one that could y'know?"

"I just do!"

"Then what did he say?!"

"He just said woof! Didn't you hear?!"

"We all heard it! But what did he mean?!"

"Alright, I was lying! I thought I had it all figured out! Sorry~!"

"I knew it! What are we doing here again?"

"Ah— We're supposed to be playing tag but Nancy kept asking for a timeout but— Oh! Queen could play for her while she rests!"

"HAAAH?!"

The Quinn I know suddenly emerged but before she could fucking react, the kids just made Nancy tag her before all hell let loose.

"YOU FUCKS— I MEAN YOU DUCKS ARE GONNA FUCKING GET IT— HOLD ON! THE FUCK ARE Y'ALL SO FAST?!"
