The Wish of the Dragon

Chapter 59:

Chapter 59:

After that incident, Hatter and Natal are still wondering how to cure Queenbelle of her addiction.

After some discussion Hatter remembered about Matsutakeko soup he made before for Queenbelle when she got sick.

Issei also remembered that the twins seem to be feeding him that mushroom a lot, so he knows exactly where to get those mushrooms from. So he told them about it and they agreed to get it from the twins.

Natal also wanted to come along as well but Hatter told her that they need her here to protect Queenbelle from any possible harm.

Issei - Don't worry, we will be back soon with the Matsutakeko's.

Natal - Un... You better hurry and come back because you still owe me a dinner date!

Natal sulked but after hearing Issei's word she finally got into a better mood.

Issei can only wryly nodded at her.

After that Issei and his wives went into a secluded area and teleported to <Fresh Fish Island>.

...

Issei - ...It's been a while, the sea salt smells as strong as ever.

Issei and his wives arrived at <Fresh Fish Island> and Issei reminiscence the memory he has when he was staying here.

Kathryn - Whoa... This is such an island. Like, it couldn't be any more island.

Gurigura - Look at that, there's lots of fish close to the shore.

Issei - There's nothing but old people here, and they can only fish every so often, so the fish aren't very cautious.

Gurigura - Whoa, they're really not! I just caught one with my bare hands! Look!

Kathryn - H-Hey! Keep that thing away from me! Live fish have scary eyes!

Riche - So this is <Fresh Fish Island>...

While Gurigura was enjoying herself, Riche was looking out at the island with pursed lips.

Ramius - What is it, Riche? You don't look well. Are you seasick?

Riche - Nothing, just thinking about the twins who took care of Ise when he's hurt.

Ramius - Umu, I'm thinking about it as well. But we're gonna meet them soon enough.

Riche - Yep, let's go.

...

Issei - Here's the house me and the twins lived in. Oh, there they are.

Kyou - Finally home, Ise? I've been waiting so long that I've collected dust.

Kinou - Impressive work on getting to a <Thousand Knight> rank so fast. You have my admiration.

Issei - Ah, sorry for making you two wait. But I'm back.

Issei smiled gently at them.

Kinou - Mhm, it's nice to see your smiling face.

Kyou - Welcome back. Glad you're in good health.

Riche - ...So these are the twins Ise keep talking about, Kyou and Kinou...

Gurigura - Um, so that means you two will be in our family as well?

Kyou - Heheheh, nice to meet you. And to answer your question. Yes, we will be.

Kinou - O-Oh my God, Kyou! This girl's super cute... Let's adopt her.

Gurigura - Huh? Wha?

Abruptly approached and hugged by Kinou, Gurigura was lifted into the air, her legs dangling like a kitty picked up by its neck.

Issei smiled seeing their interaction.

Kyou - She's not the only cute girl. Look, they're all a bunch of cuties. That's our Ise, coming back with a bunch of pretty wives.

Ramius - I'm... C-Cute... Riche, these are fine people.

Riche - Didn't take much to convince you...

Kathryn - But like, how did you know we're his wives? We haven't even introduced ourselves.

Kyou - From the smell, Kath. Your body's got Ise's masculine aroma all over it.

Kathryn - Ise's aroma? Wait, you even know my nickname?!

Kinou - We know everything related to Ise. We even know he has another wife named Tio and other candidates as well.

Kathryn - You do?! How do you find out anything from this island in the middle of nowhere?

Kyou - Please, we can talk all about that later. But first...

Kinou - Ise, if you came back, it must mean you're ready. Tell us what you're going to do.

Issei - Ah... I've also been waiting for this moment. Kyou, Kinou... Will the two of you marry me?

Issei gazed the two of them with gentle but firm eyes while saying that.

Gurigura - Wow, awesome... A proposal!

Kathryn - Watching someone else propose is weird. I don't even know how to react.

Kyou - Yes, gladly.

Kinou - Of course we are willing.

Then the three of them smiled together and Issei took both of them into his arms. And the twins snuggled comfortably in his embrace with a blissful smile on their face.

Gurigura - Wow, even more wives now. Now you two are part of the club.

Kyou - Heheheh, we're happy to join. I imagine we're far older than the rest of you, but just treat us the same as everyone else.

Ramius - Oh, right. You both are Dragons after all.

Riche - Now that you mention it, does Ise also older than us?

Issei - No, I'm genuinely just 17 years old. I was a human before, but after certain circumstances, I changed into a Dragon. It's a long story I will tell you all later when the time is right.

The girls are curious about it but since Issei said he will tell them later then they will wait.

Kathryn - Oh, right... Let's not forget we're here for Matsutakeko mushrooms.

Issei - Oh, yeah. So, what's going on is...

Issei explained what was happening in Humpty and how they were looking for Matsutakekos.

Kyou - Yeah, we've got Matsu shrooms right here at home. We can prepare those for you to use right away.

Issei - Alright, thanks. I had no idea those mushrooms were so poisonous, though.

Kinou - Don't worry, the poison doesn't affect us. By the way, we cooked you those mostly for our own purposes.

Kyou - Yep, Matsu shrooms have a hidden property where they massively raise a man's virility.

Ramius - I've heard they can get the most impotent man hard.

Gurigura - That's the reason why even after discovering they're poisonous, people still try to eat them.

Kathryn - So what, Ise's insatiable sex drive is because of those mushrooms?

Kyou - That's what we were aiming for, but...

Kinou - It doesn't seem to work on him. Apparently, from Semiramis-sama info he's already that awesome in the first place.

Kyou - Yup, that's our Ise. He can "Conquer" the whole Kalars race on his own after all.

Riche - He sure did. He makes sure to "Mark" them all as his...

Gurigura - Eheheh. Along with us as well.

Ramius - Umu, Those were great times.

Kathryn - *Sigh*...

They both smile proudly at him, Ramius also nodded to herself, Riche and Gurigura smiled wryly while Kathryn sighed to herself.

Issei - ...And whose fault is that I wonder?

Issei face went a bit red hearing their conversation but he can't deny it so he glared at Riche for being the perpetrator of the incident.

Riche - Ahahaha...

Riche is having a cold sweat feeling Issei's gaze on her so she averted her face away, she doesn't want to stay in bed for a whole day again. It feels good but the aftermath is making her whole body sore. She thought at this rate she might turn into an "M"...

Kyou and Kinou chuckled seeing their antics.

After that, Riche and co asked the twins lots of question. Such as who they really are.

When Riche and co heard they are the member of The Witches of the Round Table they are pretty surprised. Riche asked them why they told Issei to find more wives when he's still losing his memory.

Ramius and the others are also wondering about that because if they wanted to they can have Issei all for themselves, so why they told him to find more wives?

Kyou - What we want is for Ise to be loved by all.

Kinou - And for him to be able to love them all back. Ise's loved by lots of girls and is happy about it. Nothing could make us prouder.

Gurigura - Yep, everyone loves Ise-nii. I do too!

Kyou - We thought that he's too outstanding to be bound by just two wives you see. And you know how huge his libido is, even we can't say that we could take him on by ourselves.

Kinou - And we're full-fledged Dragons at that too.

Riche and co started thinking about it and they thought the twins are right. Even whole Kalars race can't take him on...

Kyou - And just like we expected, Ise become the perfect ideal man who is loved by many and he also loves them all back.

Kinou - But it was quite painful that we're not allowed to do it with him...

Kyou - We have waited long enough to find our ideal mate but now finally we have found the one we've been looking for. Don't you girls think he's wonderful as well.

Riche - Yup, best husband I could've asked for.

Ramius - Umu, even if he turned out to be the Archfiend himself, my love for him would remain as strong.

Gurigura - Yeah, I'll always love you, Ise-nii!

Kathryn - Well... Never cared much for normal people anyway.

Issei - ...Ah, thank you all.

Issei felt really blessed having wives like them. He smiled at all of them.

Kyou - Yep, that's what I'd hope for from Ise's wives. Nice and cute.

Kinou - Agreed, I just want to eat them up... Sexually.

Kyou - Don't dwell on what's happened before, Ise. Live your life how you'd like to.

Issei - ...I will.

Issei said that with conviction. To be honest, he's already moved on from his past as the pawn of Rias Gremory. He doesn't really feel anything anymore nor could he care less about them. All inside his mind right now is to protect his new loved ones.

And he needs to master the <Chaos> element soon or Nyarlathotep will claim his life along with his loved ones for real this time.

He also felt some strange connection on his soul with someone but he still doesn't know who it is. And was that memory of him meeting a little girl in the past only a dream? He's still not sure.

Kyou and Kinou were already informed that Issei had a painful past by Semiramis herself, so she asked them to take care of him. He still doesn't tell them his past but they know he will tell them soon enough.

Kinou - As promised, we have the Matsu shrooms ready for you.

Issei - Oh, thanks.

Gurigura - Um... They're supposed to be poisonous. Are you two okay?

Kyou - Heheheh, poison's nothing to a Dragon.

Kinou - Matsu shrooms are Dragon's favorite food. They only grow on Fresh Fish Island, so we've defended this place for many years.

Issei - ...No wonder you two have a high libido.

Now Issei finally knows why they seem to be in heat all the time when he's staying here...

Everyone - Not as high as you though...

They all said that at the same time and it makes Issei at a loss for words because he can't counter their statement at all. So he feigns ignorance but there's a small blush on his face.

They all giggled seeing his blushing face.

Kyou - Anyway, with that Matsu shroom you will cure the Queen's addiction for sure.

Kinou - By the way, QD must've told you girls that Ise can change you into a Dragon later if you want to right?

Kyou - Although it's not a full-fledged Dragon it's still a Dragon nonetheless.

Riche - Oh, right. I forgot about that...

Ramius - Me too...

Kathryn - Huh? What do you mean?

Gurigura is also confused but then they remembered they still haven't told them about QD and Arthur...

Riche - The thing is...

Then Riche proceeded to inform them about the conversation they had with QD and Arthur himself.

Both Kathryn and Gurigura are dumbfounded after hearing it, but they accept it soon enough.

Gurigura - I want to become a Dragon just like Ise-nii!

Before Kathryn can say anything Kyou and Kinou said something...

Kyou - Rumors said your body will become more perfect if you change into a Dragon.

Kathryn's ears perked up hearing her words.

Kinou - Indeed, especially the breasts part.

Not a single second passed after Kinou finishes her words...

Kathryn - Yosh. Ise, change me into a Dragon right now.

Kathryn suddenly got super serious and demanded Issei to change her into a Dragon right away after that.

Kyou and Kinou flashed a sly grin on their face before it went back to normal, but Riche saw their grin. She smiled wryly because they seem to know Kathryn weakness well...

What's inside the twin's mind right now is 'Hook, line, and sinker~', not like Kath won't agree to become a Dragon anyway. She would've agreed regardless because she does love Issei after all, the twins just wanted to mess with her a bit.

Issei - Err... I still don't know how...

Kathryn - Hrrm... Then I will be the first one you change when the time comes. Got it?

Issei - O-Ou...

Kathryn nodded in satisfaction after hearing his confirmation while Issei can only smile wryly at her.

Kyou - Ise, you might want to learn how to hide your Dragon aura.

Kinou - Un, if the one QD told you to discipline sense your aura then she will hide from you, guaranteed.

Kyou - Yep, and you don't want her to hide from you because she's the one who keeps teleporting the <Snake Crest's> member.

Issei - Oh, can you both teach me how to do that?

Kyou - Yes, QD already told us how to do it.

Then Kyou instructed Issei on how to hide his Dragon aura, and it doesn't take him long to master it.

Kinou - Good, now that's done. We're planning to move in with you now.

Issei - Hm? Of course, you're more than welcome to. Right girls?

Ramius - Umu, agreed.

Riche - Yup, we'll be glad to have you.

Gurigura - The more the merrier.

Kathryn - I don't see why not.

Kyou - Then we'll head down there ahead of you.

They both give Issei a quick kiss.

Kathryn - Uh, how?

The twins passed by the confused party and jumped down to the sea.

Riche - Th-They're floating... Just like Ise before...

Gurigura - Yeah, just like Ise-nii.

Kyou - Oh, and one last piece of advice. Your enemy <Snake Crest> knows all about Mother Eve.

Kinou - Not that it matters though because they are doomed to lose no matter what when they've made Ise their enemy...

Kyou - Yup, I mean he's basically on par with QD at this point... Then see you at home, Ise.

Issei - Ah, I'll see you soon.

The twins then walked across the water like they were taking a stroll through the park, and disappeared beneath the horizon.

Issei - Alright, let's bring the Matsu shroom to Humpty so we can cure the Queen of her addiction.

Having obtained a Matsutakeko, the party headed back to Humpty.

...

When Issei party returned to the palace they were greeted by Natal and Hatter themselves.

Issei told them they already have the Matsu shrooms so they can start cooking it for the Queen.

Hatter is the one who wanted to cook the Matsu shrooms because he said that he should be the one to make it for his own wife and Issei's totally agree with him.

The Queen was already awake and she keeps screaming at the Knights to bring her food that contains tons of Sugarcubes but the Knights had been told to never let her eat anymore Sugarcubes.

Hatter - It's done. Your food is here, Queenbelle.

Hatter confirmed that the Matsu shroom soup is ready, so he brings it to the Queen.

The raging Queenbelle instantly calmed down to a certain extent after seeing Hatter brought food to her.

Queenbelle - Food? Is that Food? Give it to me!

The Queen started shouting at Hatter to quickly bring the food to her. He put down the soup in front of her and lift up the lid.

Queenbelle - ...

Once she smells the aroma from the soup she becomes petrified.

Queenbelle - ...This smell...

Queenbelle opened her cloudy eyes wide and stared at the dish.

Queenbelle - Aah, aaaah...

Finally, she took a drink of the transparent soup.

Queenbelle - Hwaaah... This is Matsutakeko soup... It's warming my whole body... Gulp, gulp... Aah, that's the flavor. Just like I remember it.

Hatter - You remember it, Queenbelle?

Hatter got teary-eyed because his beloved wife finally started returning to her old self.

Queenbelle - Ah... Now I remember. After I'd eaten a poisonous dish, I was so sickly and unable to eat that I could only await my inevitable demise. I was saved by my beloved husband, Hatter, and the soup he made... Just so I could have this soup, he let himself atrophy to such an extent that he could no longer rule...

Hatter - It was nothing, Queenbelle. The country is not as important to me as you are.

Natal - Your Majesty! You're back to normal!

Natal is also happy seeing the Queen back to normal.

Queenbelle - Back to normal? Now what does that mean? Hmm... My mind seems to have cleared up... Sugarcubes may be tasty, but I never realized they could drive you to such madness...

Riche - That's because the Sugarcubes were mixed with the core element of <Adan's Blood>. Which happens to be monster blood.

Queenbelle - What?!

Kathryn - Just check the evidence we gave your husband and Natal there and you'll see what we meant by that.

Ramius - Just one bowl of soup and the Queen return to normal.

Gurigura - Yup, it's the power of love!

Then the Queen checked the evidence they provided her, she's very shocked and furious at Jabber's conduct. Thankfully Jabber has already been dealt with so she has one less problem to take care.

The Queen ordered the Knights to close the Sugarcubes factory owned by Jabber and to burn all the existing Sugarcubes over there.

Everyone in the Kingdom is very shocked that the Sugarcubes factory is going to be closed. When they asked why the Knights told them that it's been contaminated with <Adan's Blood> because of Jabber's evil conduct.

The citizens are very shocked hearing that their best chef is the perpetrator of such monstrosity. The kidnapped girls returned to their respective family and they are very thankful for their savior which is Issei's party, they also try to send some stuff over as thanks but Issei refused them all because he said they need it more than him.

They become even more thankful towards Issei after that.

Queenbelle - I'm terribly sorry you all had to clean our Kingdom mess. You and your family really saved my bacon. You have my deepest thanks and I can grant anything you wish for as long it's within my capabilities.

Issei - No need. We're not doing it hoping for rewards, besides... We have our own agenda with the <Snake Crest> so you could say it's just a coincidence that we're helping you, so don't mind it. And what you should really thank is Hatter's cooking. We just went and got the ingredients.

Issei immediately refused Queenbelle's offer for a reward. And his wives nodded to themselves when he finishes saying that.

Queenbelle and her cohorts become surprised by hearing his words. Especially Natal who admires Issei even more after hearing his words.

Queenbelle - But... If we don't give you anything in return then it will make us as someone who can't repay their savior. And yes, I already thanked Hatter plenty earlier.

Hatter - She did indeed...

He has lipsticks stuck to his face all over.

Kathryn - ...He seems kinda ill.

Queenbelle - So think of something yet, Earl Hyoudou?

Issei - Don't need to call me with honorifics, I'm also the same as you. I was only a commoner before so I don't really care about formalities.

Natal was pretty surprised hearing that Issei was a commoner before but she soon accepts it because, no matter what his background is, he's still the man she approves of.

Queenbelle - Oh? That's surprising, I never thought you're also a commoner just like me before even though you already have a surname?

Issei - It's a long story.

Queenbelle - I see... I'll leave it at that.

Then, Queenbelle proceeded to take out a piece of letter and give it to Issei.

Queenbelle - Here, give this letter to King Louin. I said he had better treat the Knight who helped us with respect, or else.

Issei - Err... He's still my father in law so...

Hatter - She's joking, but I am certain King Louin will give you a fitting reward for your accomplishments.

Barro - Indeed, Issei-kun. The King is already informed of your new achievements, so it's to be expected when you return you will probably be promoted into a <Zero Knight> just like me and Acheval. Well, it didn't take long as we expected.

Issei - Hm? Barro?

Barro arrived at the hall when they were still talking. He entered the palace escorted by a Humpty Knight who after hearing his identity immediately allowed him to enter the palace.

Riche - Hmph, of course. Whose husband do you think he is? By the way, what are you doing here, Barro?

Barro - Good day to you, Princess Riche. I'm here to discuss something with Her Majesty, it's about Princess Croix's ritual.

Queenbelle - Well, you can rest assured that there won't be any interference from our side when she undergoes the ritual.

Barro - Then, thank you very much for your cooperation, Your Majesty. I also was going to request a ship we could use for the ritual, but Princess Croix herself said that she wanted to get into the same boat as Issei-kun here.

Issei - Oh, now that you mention it. We still don't have our own ship yet.

Natal - I can help you with that!

Natal instantly volunteered to help Issei with his problem.

Issei - Natal? Oh right, your family is dealing with shipyards as well.

Natal - Yup, and I can get you the best ship there is in no time.

Queenbelle - Oh, good suggestion, Natal. And don't worry about the money, I'll pay for it.

Issei - Err...

Queenbelle - No objections allowed. At least let us do this much for you.

Hatter - Indeed, Queenbelle is totally right.

Issei can only smile bitterly at their words, and since they insisted so much he finally agrees to it.

So while Issei's party waiting for their ship to be ready they are told to enjoy the Kingdom for now.

Issei and his wives do just that, they went sightseeing around the Humpty Kingdom. They enjoyed their trip to the fullest until their ship is ready.

But there's trouble on Natal side. Her family told her they will only prepare the ship if Issei is willing to marry into their family. And Natal had a big fight with her family because of that.

Sure she wanted to marry Issei as well but she doesn't want to marry him out of profit or anything else, she wanted it to be because of love. And she despises her family greatly because they keep seeing her as a tool.

When her family heard Issei's achievement recently they got even greedier. It's already confirmed that he will advance into a <Zero Knight> soon enough, and with it, Issei worth will be even higher. He's also the Bigbux Company secret owner so it's no wonder they will be greedy about it.

So they threaten Natal to marry Issei right away or they will disown her. They thought it will also work like always before when they threaten her like this.

But they never thought Natal will leave the family after being threatened like that.

The Queen heard what her family did but there's nothing she can do to prevent them because they're one of the richest family in the world. And she also has no rights to meddle with their family business.

Just like how the March family plant a spy on the palace, the Queen also plant a spy of her own in the March family.

The Queen tried to adopt Natal after she left her family but she refuses her offer because she doesn't want to bring trouble to her. Natal felt sorrowful for being born in a family like that who keeps treating her like a tool.

Just because her status as a woman they don't let her climb higher into the Knights rank in fear of her achievements eclipse her father and brother, and if not for The Queen intervention she won't even be able to reach a <Hundred Knight> ranks much less a <Thousand Knight> at that.

When Issei heard about her circumstances from the Queen herself he went to meet Natal himself.

He told his wives he will be looking for Natal and they all agreed to it.

Issei asked some knights if they saw where Natal went. Then they told him the general direction he went to.

He found her at the spot where he saved her from the Monster Jellyfish attack. She's looking melancholic and her eyes are a bit red probably from crying.

Issei felt pity at her, he knows what it feels like to be treated as a tool by those they considered a family. Rias and co basically leave him to his own luck after they have no use of him any longer.

Issei - ...Natal.

Natal shoulders twitched hearing his voice, then she turned around to face him while trying to act normal.

Natal - I-Issei? What are you doing here?

Issei - I'm just checking on you, are you okay?

Natal - E-Eh? I am fine of course just like always.

She tried to act prideful like she's used to be but her red eyes give her away. And there's no spirit behind her voice, it sounded shaky.

Issei - ...I heard about it from the Queen... About you leaving your family.

Natal's body stiffened after hearing his words then her face went downcast right away.

Natal - ...I'm sorry I couldn't get you your ship.

Issei - I don't mind about that, what I'm worried about is you.

Natal eyes went wide hearing his words.

Issei - Listen, Natal. I'm also the same as you, I used to belong to a well-known family as well. I thought they love me just like I love them, but, the reality is different than what I expected... They leave me to my own luck when they don't have use of me any longer.

She becomes even more shocked hearing a bit about his past. Issei walked to Natal side and he gazed at the horizon with a carefree face.

Issei - ...But after they abandoned me I realized something... Something called "Freedom", it's just one word but it's so wonderful. My partner taught me the world has a lot to offer. There's a lot to explore. And I like to take advantage of that. See the world with your own two eyes, Natal... You're free now. You are not chained anymore by those so-called family of yours.

Natal felt something break free inside her, she always felt burdened with the responsibilities her family gave her that it makes her feels sick. She felt like she's put on a leash by her so-called family.

All of her achievements are claimed by her father and brother, even her mother is only a tool for them until she died of illness.

But now after she thinks about Issei's words she realized that she felt her body becomes much lighter than before like a burden has been lifted off from her shoulder. She felt free, she finally gained her own "Freedom" just like Issei said.

Then she saw Issei gazes at her with gentle eyes that makes her heart pound faster than ever.

Issei - If you need a family that badly then I'll be glad to have you in mine, but it seems that the Queen is also wanted to adopt yo-

Natal - Was that a proposal?

When Issei said that he'll be glad to have her in his family, Natal's ears perked up and she looked down while asking him that before he could even finish his words.

Issei - Eh?

Issei is confused by what she meant by that, when did he propos- Oh wait... His words just now can be misinterpreted as a proposal wasn't it... He felt like he did something similar to Kathryn before, he really needs to watch his words when he's talking with the opposite sex it seems.

Natal was facing down when she heard Issei's word before but then she looks up with a glittering eye.

Natal - ...Ok, I accept.

Issei - ...What?

Before Issei can explain himself, Natal already went ahead to accept his so-called "Proposal" it seems.

Natal - S-Since you propose to me then I'll accept it!

Issei - Err...

Natal - What? Do you want to take back your words?! As a gentleman, you're not allowed to do that!

Natal went closer to Issei and she holds his shirt tight and their face distance is only a few inches away, her cheeks are red out of embarrassment. Issei can also felt her body is trembling a little bit probably because she's afraid that he really took back his words.

Issei can only smile wryly after hearing her words and to make it even more awkward he can feel her majestic breasts pushed against him right now.

To be honest, he does likes Natal a bit. He doesn't know why but it seems after absorbing the <Orb of Life> he becomes much easier to fall in love.

He thought about it and decided to accept Natal in the end. He already has a whole race as his lovers anyway so adding one more woman in his life doesn't matter much at this point.

Unknown to him this mentality of his that will make him the harem king in the future or perhaps harem God will be more fitting? Because the amount of women he has in the future is enormous. And every woman in his harem later stays loyal at him till the end of times.

Issei - Fine... Then, Natal March-

Natal - Just Natal.

Issei - Hm?

Natal - I don't belong to the March family any longer, so just call me Natal.

Natal interrupted Issei's word once more to correct him that she's basically doesn't has a surname now because she already left the March family.

Issei - Ah... Then, Natal. Will you marry me?

Natal face beamed with happiness hearing that words and she smiled through tears while smiling.

Natal - ...Yes! Gladly!

Then Natal suddenly kissed Issei, at first his eyes went a bit wide but soon he closed his eyes and reciprocate her kiss while holding her by the waist.

Natal felt really happy right now, she has finally found the place where she truly belongs... In the arms of the man she loves the most.

After a while, they finally stopped their kiss and they smiled at each other, they decided to head back to the capital less they make everyone even more worried.

On the way to the capital of Humpty, Natal keeps hugging Issei's arm while humming happily.

Some of the Knights who saw their interaction give Issei a thumbs up for being able to tame such a prideful woman like Natal, while some felt sorrowful because she already had someone special.

Well, Most of the men who like her have special hobbies though. They like to be dominated by the opposite sex that's why...

When they arrived at the palace, Riche's and co just smile wryly after seeing their current situation. They already knew this was going to happen sooner or later so they are not surprised.

Queenbelle felt happy that Natal finally found the love of her life. After some discussion, Natal also decided to accept the Queen's offer on adopting her but she said she will still use Hyoudou as her surname and the Queen is totally fine with that. So now Natal goes by the name Natal Hyoudou.

Issei told her that he will handle the March family so they won't cause any more troubles. That night the March family got visited by Issei and they are told to never cause trouble for Natal anymore or their "Secrets" will be known to the public, such as funds embezzlement and the most surprising of all is the bribery they received from the <Snake Crest> for providing pirate ships for the Outlaws before.

And Issei also threaten them with his bloodlust that will give them nightmares for years to come, both Father and Son of the March family pissed themselves feeling his bloodlust on them and they passed out soon after they agreed to Issei's demands.

When they woke up they asked their guards if there's anyone suspicious came here last night and the answer they receive is there are none. So the father and son duo become even more terrified knowing Issei could waltz in into their estate and find all those secrets of theirs without being seen by a single guard.

It needs to be known that their estate hires a lot of Adventurers and Knights to become their guards, their amount can easily reach 100 but not a single one saw Issei last night. So that means if they wanted to kill them then no one will ever know that he's the one who did it.

After that, the March family decided to lay low from the public. But unknown to them because of Natal's disappearance from their family will be their downfall.

Later on, the March family will be no more and all of their assets will belong to Issei sooner or later. But that's a story for another time...

...

Issei and his wives discussing what to do about their new ship but then they remembered about Erimo the half-poppin so they asked the Queen to let her gain access to the Poppins technology. What's surprising is that Queenbelle also decided to forget about the Poppins betrayal because of Issei's request.

She said it's just personal grudge at this point, and the nation as a whole doesn't really care anymore.

Then the Poppins race started resurfacing to the Kingdom of Humpty and they make a brand new alliance with them. They were around the small island around Humpty because they have a lot of food to share that they won't even realize if the Poppins taking them as well.

Issei also finally got his ship with the help of Erimo and the Poppins, along with Kathryn as well.

Their ship is powered by Mr. Edison once more.

Mr. Edison - Uppy!

Riche - ...This is cool.

The party looked around their ship floating in the sea.

Gurigura - Ahahaha, it's bigger than I thought it'd be. You could play Red Light, Green Light on here.

Ramius - And we should be able to comfortably combat sea monsters.

Riche - I'd love to keep looking at the ship, but let's see what riding it is like.

Kathryn - Alright, it's your time to shine. You've got this.

Mr. Edison - Uppy!

Set in a designated spot, the uppy cried in a way that could be taken as either determination or self-doubt and breathed fire.

Kathryn - Oh, we're moving.

Gurigura - Wow, how's it work?

Kathryn - You see, the uppy's fire breath generates steam, which moves gears that turn the ship's wheel.

Ramius - ...Zzzz... Mmmm... Can't eat anymore, Zzzz...

Kathryn - Hey, it's not bedtime yet!

Mr. Edison - Uppy!

Gurigura - It's so fast! This is even faster than a cow carriage.

Riche - Alright, now let's head out. You steer the ship, Ise.

Issei - Sure.

The party set sail into the vast ocean with their very own ship for the first time. After taking it for a spin they returned to the capital of Humpty.

Natal welcomed Issei with open arms and she went to hug him right away after he set his foot on the harbor.

Natal - Darlinggg~

Issei smiled gently at her and returned the hug she gave him.

There's a golden ring on Natal's ring finger.

Riche and co - *Jiiiiiii~*

Issei - U-Um, Natal. Let's go to the palace.

Issei awkwardly said that because she can feel Riche and co gaze on him.

...

Natal's already becomes Issei's wife. They did it when they were waiting for the ship to be ready.

The Queen lent them one of the bedrooms at the palace. Issei was resting on his room when he suddenly felt something weighing him down. He thought it was one of his wives so he instinctively hugged her close.

??? - Kyah!

When Issei heard her voice he realizes that it belongs to Natal so his eyes instantly snapped open to see Natal totally naked right now in his embrace. And he can feel her bare breasts pressing against his body.

Issei won't ask something stupid as what she's doing here when she's already in this state, even idiot can tell that she come here to have sex.

He felt amazed seeing her body, it's so beautiful that he's at a loss for words. Natal who felt his gaze on her blushed even deeper feeling shy but inside she's proud that her body is able to charm Issei.

Issei finally returns back to his senses and asked Natal.

Issei - ...Are you ready, Natal?

Natal - U-Un... Be gentle with me...

Then Issei gives her a gentle kiss, Natal body which was shivering a little bit calmed down after feeling his gentle kiss then she felt his tongue entering her mouth and started entangling it with her own.

Issei's hands weren't idle either, he runs down his hands from her back to her perky butts and gently massaged it.

Natal - Mmm, mmh, mmn... Mwah...

Natal felt her body turned hot every time he teases her butt like that.

Natal felt something hard poking her pussy down there. And she knows what it is.

Issei hand gently teases her pussy entrance until its wet.

Natal - Haah, haah... Darling... I can't take it anymore... Please, put it in...

Issei - Ah. You want me to put it in myself or do you want to do it yourself?

Natal - L-Let me do it myself...

Issei - Just take it easy, okay?

Natal - Hai...

She timidly raises her hips, takes his dick and put it against herself. After that, she slowly lowers her waist.

Natal - Mmmn...

The head of Issei's dick opens her pussy lips and starts entering her. It forces her insides open and begins sinking in.

*Sllsh*

Natal - Ngh... Aah... It hurts...

She slightly teared up, there's a trail of blood flowing down from her pussy marking the loss of her virginity. But Natal slowly but surely swallow Issei's dick up to the base, after she managed to put the entire length of Issei's dick inside her she stopped moving.

Issei who saw her in pain like that pull her closer and began giving him a kiss once more to ease up her pain.

After a few minutes she started moving her hips up and down slowly signaling that it doesn't hurt as much anymore.

Natal - Haah, haah, aah... Ah...

Issei - You feel really good inside, Natal...

Natal - I'm glad you're feeling good, darling... haahn, ah, aah...

She starts slowly but gradually her movements got faster.

Natal - Aah, haah... Mmm, mmn....

He slowly reaches up, and carefully, so he doesn't interfere with how she's moving, caressing her breasts and ass. Then he put one of her nipples inside his mouth.

Natal - Aah... Aahn... Haah... Y-Yes... It feels so good... Haahn...

Issei's dick gets harder inside her and feels bigger too.

Natal started bouncing on top of Issei even harder and faster because she can feel her orgasm about to come.

Natal - Mm... Mmahh... Aah... Ah... D-Darling... I-I almost... Ahn...

Issei - Ah... Me too...

Issei grabs ahold of her waist and started thrusting up into her as well.

Natal - Aaah... Mmn... haah, haaah...

*Sloosh!* *Sloosh!*

Issei - I'm going to come.

Natal - Yes... Let it out deep inside me, darling, haah, aah, aahn.

He grabs her hips, pulls her down, and bury his dick deep into her.

Natal - Aaaaaaahhh!

His dick stabs through the walls of her pussy and against the very back of it.

Natal - Ahhh, haah...

A pulse seems to run through Issei and at the same time, he releases a flood of semen. It gushes into her insides like a torrent and floods through her.

*Splurt!* *Splurt!* *Splurt!*

Natal - Aah... ah. haah... I-It's coming out... Inside me... Aah... Mmm... Aaaahh... S-So hot....

They both came at the same time, she soaks in her orgasm and collapse on top of Issei.

Natal - Haah, haah... I'm so happy... I finally become one with the man I love...

Issei hugs her body against his and gently rub her back while they both tasting the lingering after-effect of their orgasm together.

But Natal felt like his dick is still hard inside her.

Natal - U-Um... If you want to continue then it's fine, darling... To be honest... I-I also want to do it more...

Issei smiled gently while seeing her face turned red.

Issei - Ah... This time, I'll make you feel even better.

Natal - ...Hai

Then they continued having sex all night. They tried every position that they can think of until Natal can't take it anymore and then she passed out in Issei's embrace.

The next morning there's a golden ring appeared on Natal's hand. And Issei's ring turned from "V" into "VI"

(<Chaos> Mastery - 55%)

...

So after saying their regards to the Queen they headed back to the Kingdom of Eden.

Natal said she will be staying at Humpty for now until there will be no more trouble spotted around the Kingdom. She gives Issei a deep goodbye kiss when he's about to leave.

Natal - See you later, darling~

Then she looks towards Riche and co.

Natal - Well, see you girls later too. Take care of darling for me okay?

Riche - Oh, you're not gonna ignore us anymore?

Natal - Hmm, I was just jealous of you girls before so I'm sorry about before.

Natal admitted that she was jealous of them very easily and apologizes as well, Riche and co are pretty surprised seeing her apologizing at them. She seems to be more carefree ever since she leave the March family and less prideful than before.

Riche - Oh, we don't really mind it that much, to be honest. Since we're basically family now then I don't see any reason why we shouldn't forgive you.

Ramius - Umu. Riche is right, we're a family now.

Gurigura - Eheheh, glad to have you in the family as well, Natal-nee.

Kathryn - Great, another titty monster...

Issei smiled seeing their interaction, he feels really blessed having wives like them.

Natal is also already informed of Issei's secret identity as a Dragon, but she doesn't really care though because for her Darling is Darling no matter what.

Then after chatting a bit, Issei's party finally teleported back to Eden.
