Chapter 13: Ch-11 System update?
Rosemary's POV
....
I don't know how much time has passed since the day I fell into a deep sleep. But I can feel every cell in my body being torn apart. I couldn't move my body or even open my eyes, which made my current situation even worse. I don't know how long I spent like this, but little by little the pain began to diminish, until it stopped completely. Now I felt... renewed? Well, I didn't understand how I felt.
My days of darkness were soon over, a small crack appeared in my vision, then two and so on, until a beautiful dark sky with gray clouds greeted me. I could feel everything around me, the drops of rainwater fell on my white skin and ran down my body.
The silence of what seemed to be a forest surrounded me. 'It looks like a calm forest.' I thought, I'm not sure how long I slept, but I don't think it was long since my appearance didn't change... I mean, except for the extra pair of wings... Feeling something approaching, I turned my face to the left and before my eyes, a beautiful man looked at me with a gentle and affectionate expression.
"Husband..." I muttered with a small smile.
He came closer and placed his hand on my head, rubbing it gently as he caressed my face. "Welcome back, Rosemary!"
Hearing his beautiful voice, I tried to keep my expression neutral, but I'm sure the blush gave away my true feelings. Placing my hand over his, which was still caressing my face wet from the rain, I replied with my best smile: "I'm back, husband."
Pov's end
....
It had been two days since Rosemary woke up, and she quickly made friends with Shuri and Takako Uro who had returned the day before. The mansion was very lively, with voices and laughter echoing throughout. With the help of Amaterasu, Takako was also officially registered. Using an artificial avatar of his own creation, Noah bought a small mansion in Kuoh City, and successfully enrolled Takako and Rosemary into Kuoh Academy.
Sitting on a burgundy vintage sofa, a handsome middle-aged man was sipping a glass of red wine. Beneath the small glass table in front of the sofa rested a bottle of 1992 Screaming Eagle Cabernet Sauvignon.
Over the man's face, a wine-colored blindfold covered his eyes, giving him a 'mysterious' air. His long white hair was tied into a ponytail, dressed in a white and gold baroque rococo suit, he gave the image of a nobleman from a long-lost era.
This was Noah, to be more exact, his avatar. He created a similar face to his real one, recreating even his beautiful eyes that resembled a Galaxy, for this reason, he started using the blindfold to hide it, in his opinion, this was easier than creating new eyes. But Rose knew that it was just his pride as Quazzennyan speaking louder.
Quick footsteps caught Noah's attention as he was enjoying his wine.
"Husband-!" the voice spoke but was soon interrupted.
"Is that the correct way to address me?" Noah asked, his face turned towards Rosemary who was coming down the stairs wearing what looked like a school uniform.
Rosemary's face turned as red as a ripe tomato. She glared at Noah resentfully and said in a barely audible voice, "Father..."
That's right, after Shuri's return and Rose's awakening, in order to maintain the appearance of a well-structured family, Shuri was designated as the mother, Takako and Rosemary would be the daughters, and Noah the father. This was Amaterasu's arrangement under Noah's orders, this wasn't for some strange fetish...
'Yeah, it's definitely not a weird fetish...' Noah thought trying to convince himself.
With her face still flushed, Rosemary continued, "I still don't understand why you enrolled me in a school." With a snort, Rose walked over to one of the sofas and sat down elegantly, like a true noblewoman.
"Look, this isn't just any school, it's the Kuoh Academy." Noah replied proudly, as if he were the founder.
With a skeptical look, Rosemary decided to drop the subject, no matter what she said, Noah wouldn't change his mind. The person most excited about all the recent events would undoubtedly be Takako Uro, not only did she gain a mother, but she now also had an incredibly charming father. Finishing putting on her school uniform, she left her room and went down to the living room where her 'sister' and 'father' were.
"~Good morning dad!" she greeted Noah with a big smile adorning her face, her soft voice sounding a little seductive.
Looking at his 'eldest daughter', Noah's expressionless face showed a smile full of affection. "Good morning, dear." Noah really liked this woman, after learning about her story as an orphan, he decided to make her a Starhear. Soon a sweet voice caught the attention of everyone present.
"Breakfast is ready!"
Following the voice, the three arrived at a dining room, a large table was filled with various foods, standing next to one of the chairs, a beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure, smiling at them with a motherly smile. She was still wearing a flowery apron that highlighted her divine figure.
"Good morning Shuri!" Noah said as he walked towards the table, pulling out the main chair and sitting down. Feeling Shuri's gaze, he asked, "Is there a problem?"
"Mou!! We've talked about this before!" Shuri complained with a scolding look at Noah.
Noah was stunned by Shuri's cute appearance, but upon realizing his 'mistake' a smile formed on his lips.
"Good morning... wife!"
"Hmm," Shuri nodded.
Watching the 'couple' exchange, Rosemary puffed out her cheeks.
'Tsk, does the husband prefer milfs?' Rosemary asked looking at her figure, although not as exaggerated as Shuri, she was not far behind.
During breakfast, the 'new family' chatted normally about some topics related to their life from now on. Rose hadn't forgotten her real mother, but she wasn't in such a hurry anymore, with her world paused, she had enough time to hone her skills and familiarize herself with her new body. Soon after, she would return to her world and bring her mother to it. After a family meeting, Noah decided to make the world of 'Highschool DxD' his base.
Still enjoying her meal, Rosemary asked something that had been bothering her for a while: "Father..." After getting Noah's attention, Rose continued: "Now that I have become a true Quazzennyan, what is the system for?"
Hearing Rose's question, Noah froze. He hadn't thought that far ahead, was his system only meant to turn the other races into his own people? Noticing Noah's dazed state, a smile formed on Rose's beautiful face.
"What do you think about updating the system functions?" Rose asked.
"Get better?" Still confused, Noah looked at Rose.
"Yes, look, you could add a chat function!" She was like a saleswoman trying to hit her sales target.
Noah was no stranger to the term 'chat', but how would it help him grow his breed?
Seeing her 'father's' still confused face, Rose once again went into her saleswoman mode.
"You currently need to accompany your host until he completes the evolution right?" Rose asked, her excitement evident.
"Hmm!" Noah nodded. Although this method worked, it wasn't very effective. Rose evolved very quickly thanks to certain external factors. To be more precise, bugs that had already been fixed. Now, even if he used Divine Avatar, it wouldn't increase the evolution percentage completely.
Rose's voice pulled Noah out of his thoughts: "What if we create a group?"
"And what would this 'group' be like?" Noah asked, his curiosity growing as he thought about the advantages.
"Explaining would be too boring, just read my memories!" Rose exclaimed, she was very happy that Noah was considering her suggestions.
With Rose's permission, Noah stood up and walked to the other side of the table. When he reached it, he reached out his hand, gently touching Rose's head. Feeling Noah's gentle touch, Rose's little heart pounded furiously.
After seeing Rose's memories, Noah walked away and returned to his seat.
"So what do you think?!" Rose asked.
"Well, I think you should be a DJ, you have talent," Noah replied with a provocative smile.
Rose was confused but soon her face turned red and she gave Noah an embarrassed look. The other two beautiful women who had been silent the whole time held back their laughter. Seeing her 'mother' and 'sister' laughing at her, Rose's face turned even redder and white smoke started coming out of her head.
Seeing Rose short-circuiting, Noah decided it was best to stop teasing her. Clearing his throat, he called the attention of the three beautiful women: "I like the idea of the multiversal chat, this way, I can guide more than one person at the same time and the members can help each other in times of crisis."
Ignoring the teasing looks from her family, Rose continued as if nothing had happened. "Yes, but this time you cannot show your true form to the other hosts on the first meeting." Rosemary said.
"Huh? But why?" Noah asked.
"A mysterious system is more respected!" she said righteously.
Remembering the day he met Rosemary, Noah nodded in agreement, it would be troublesome to have several 'Rosemarys' around him.
"And only women entered the group!" Shuri, who was listening to the conversation, gave her opinion.
"A race cannot be made up of women alone," Noah retorted.
"~Daddy, you should listen to Mommy." said Takako who had also been silent throughout the meal.
After discussing for a long time, Noah and his family came to an agreement. Only members of the main family would be of the Quezzennyan race and apart from Noah, only women would be accepted. The secondary family would be made up of the Starhear subrace.
Raising his hand facing upwards, five golden orbs with small red threads formed in Noah's palm, soon they disappeared, spreading across the vast omniverse in search of their next hosts.
"Okay, the chat system will be officially active soon." Noah said, his voice showing a hint of anticipation for the future.
Soon Takako and Rosemary were ready for their first day of school.
