Prologue

Hello everyone, my name is…don’t laugh, my name is Ja…promise that you don’t laugh…alright? Here we go…

Hello everyone, my name is James Moriarty and no I’m not joking that really is my name, and yes it has no originality in it, but I’m practically stamped permanently with that name so no use changing it now.

Anyway, I James Moriarty is just your everyday normal college student…ok fine maybe not that normal, but at least I’m human, right?

Oh, and I have a reason why I said ‘I’m human’, the reason to that is because right now I’m having a discussion with 2 women who aren’t.

[James] “Looks like we finally made a decision who to call.”

[Reshulla] “Yup, I’m fine with that.”

[Anastasia] “They do have a lot to choose from.”

That’s right; these two who are sited on both my left and right sides aren’t human.

First let’s introduce Reshulla Morrigan. Though one couldn’t tell from the way she acts and her young age, Reshulla is actually a Professor at the University I go to, she’s even my class advisor, she may act like she doesn’t care but she’s actually really good at her job despite being 23 years old.

Now for the reason on why I said she is one of the women who aren’t human is because she is what many would call a Witch.

A Witch is somewhat like a female magician, but since their bodies are really compatible with the surrounding elements, they mostly temper with something even more powerful.

But being a Witch alone isn’t what makes Reshulla special, she’s actually one of the strongest witches in the world, or at least that’s what I heard.

Withes are a secretive bunch, so I’m not really informed about them.

[Reshulla] “Your right, they do have a lot to choose from, but that what makes it hard to pick.”

The other woman who is sitting on my left is Ana, Anastasia Douva.

With her silver hair and alluring violet eyes makes it look like she is hard to approach, but in reality she is actually very sociable.

But despite how she looks, she is actually a gamer and loves to watch Anime and a Manga reader, though I can’t really judge her since I’m somewhat the same.

The first time I meet her I seriously thought she was a fairy, not a real fairy of course but a fairytale like beauty.

But my image of her being a fairy started to crumble when she lifted the heavy table as if it was nothing…no, let me be honest here, I actually knew that she wasn’t human back when she did that. I guess you could say that I was being denial, after all having a life like mine; you tend to meet weird individuals.

I want to befriend someone normal at least. You know, someone who doesn’t shot out giant pillars of ice, or in Ana’s case, someone who has the strength to lift and throw a bulldozer like it’s a plastic ball and can change into a spandex wearing, 50 feet giant.

Now that I’m thinking about it, do Nephilim wear spandex even in ancient times?

[Anastasia] “Should we call now? I already made my choice.”

[Reshulla] “I’m ready too, what about you James, you done picking?”

[James] “Hmm? Oh wait, not yet. Give me a minute.”

For those who are wondering what is happening right now, let me explain.

For the past weeks, I along with Reshulla, Ana and another woman by the name of Robin, have been living together.

Since then I’ve noticed thing about the girls that most likely never seen by others besides their own family member.

1st Case: Reshulla Morrigan.

Though she is already 23 years old, she is surprisingly really bad when it comes to machinery. That is why we now have a new laundry machine, but seriously, how in the world did she make it burn up like that?

2nd Case: Anastasia Douva.

Though Ana is good with her hands when it comes to a game controller and can even stitch clothes, she can’t cook. I wasn’t there since I had my morning jog, but when I got home, I found the stove blown and Ana doing a Japanese Dogeza while being scolded by Mama Robin.

3rd Case: Robin Altorez.

Speaking of Mama Robin, this side of her is very intimidating. She got angry at me when she found out I didn’t maintained the cars, she scolded Ana for playing too much and finally, she made Reshulla clean her room…truly a mother in the making.

Anyway, the discussion we are having right now is actually about dinner and the time right now is 10: 30 pm. Since I can’t cook nor can Ana, as for Reshulla…I think she can, but I don’t really want to see what a witch will cook up and it’s a little iffy. So in the end, Robin is the only one who can use the kitchen.

But unfortunately for us, she still isn’t home yet. Ever since she got her new job and became a Chief of her own security section, she has her hands full establishing everything for her section, like preparing her building, improving the security of the university and even making a personal firewall.

Since we don’t want to disturb Robin with her work, we decided to order take-out.

Ana, who is already on the phone and said her order along with Reshulla is now waiting for mine.

[James] “Ok, I’ll like to have an extra large cheesy pizza, 4 plates of lasagna, 3 large mocha milk shakes and finally 4 Sundaes with different flavors.”

[Reshulla] “As always James you eat a lot.”

[James] “I’m a growing boy, I can’t help it.”

After telling Ana my order, she puts down the phone then walks to the living room where Reshulla and I are seated and wait for our food.

[Reshulla] “Now with button switch the TV again?”

See? Just like I said earlier, she’s bad when it comes to these kind of stuff.

[James] “It’s the big red button on the top right corner Reshulla.”

[Reshulla] “Thanks, now I can watch Animal Planet. I might be able to see new ingredients.”

And that is why I we don’t want her to cook for us.

As I keep my thoughts to myself, Ana sits on my left side again and joined Reshulla.

Since what we see on the television is a baby penguin, Ana started to fidget and start to praise the little fur ball of cuteness. Yeah that’s right, even I think it adorable. But for Reshulla…

[Reshulla] “Hmm, looks like this little one’s liver will make a good potion.”

What kind of potion are you planning on making, no more importantly; leave the poor little guy alone! It’s still young so it has a high possibility to learn tap-dancing and might entertain easy to impress humans!

Declaring to myself that I will never let Reshulla get close to a Zoo for a while, Ana spoke up while drinking her hot milk coffee that was placed on the living room table and hugs her legs with her right arm, then placing her chin on her knees.

By the way, what she’s wearing right now is a big baggy shirt, so the position she is doing right now makes her underwear show…n—not like I’m looking or anything, though it is really easy to see, doesn’t mean that I’m looking!

[Anastasia] “Feels like Robin been too busy for a while now.”

[Reshulla] “It can’t really be helped; she’s literally making her own division from nothing after all.”

Reshulla’s right, with so much things need to be doing, she doesn’t even go to class from time to time. And let’s not forget, because of the golem incident, she has to create a better security system not only for the university, but for the lower grades as well.

[Anastasia] “I sure wish I could help her, but I’m not really knowledgeable about firewalls and programs.”

[Reshulla] “I want to help too, but I’m afraid I might blow one of her computers up, so…”

Can’t help but feel that same thing, all I’m good at is shooting stuff and cutting stuff. Now that I’m thinking about it, whenever I’m doing a job that include automated lock doors back in the days, I just cut right through them.

Kind of makes me feel inferior to those action movie heroes, not only can they fight, they can hack through stuff too, so unfair.

Moving those thoughts a side, I’m surprised on how close these girls have become. But then again, facing off against a 100 feet stone and steel monster, while fighting against a horde of mindless stone people together, made a spark to their friendship.

Wow, that sounded really weird. That is clearly not a normal way of making a close relationship between women.

*Ding* *Dong*

[Anastasia] “Oh, the food is here, I’ll go get it.”

After saying so, Ana puts down her mug on the table, grabs her wallet and runs out of the house.

[Reshulla] “That was fast; I thought they would take about 20 or 30 minutes.”

[James] “Our house is easy to find and the road heading here isn’t hard to navigate…but more importantly—“

After taking a sip from my cup of milk, I then finish my words.

[James] “Aren’t you going to tell Ana that she went out wearing nothing but a shirt?”

[Reshulla] “You and I both know that it’s too late for that and besides, she’s already half way to the gate.”

That’s true; I had my mind on something so I wasn’t able to tell her. Sorry Ana, I wasn’t able to warn you.

[Reshulla] “Anyway James, I heard that you’ll be going to London, is that true?”

[James] “Yeah it is, who did you hear it from, the Old man?”

[Reshulla] “No, I heard it from Robin when she made a call about her being late.”

Oh right, I told Robin about it when I got back from the Old man’s office.

[James] “Do you want to come with me?”

[Reshulla] “Believe me James I do, I really, really, really do.”

I can literally feel your honesty since both your hand are now gripping my shoulders, so one ‘Really’ was enough.

[Reshulla] “But I can’t, because of that geezer I can’t leave the island for a while. He said there might be a chance that they will return.”

Makes sense, the Old man said that he made a underground warehouse so he could keep those dangerous things called ‘Artifact’ or was that ‘Relic’…hmm…oh well, anyway their hiding something dangerous that I’m sure the PTA would faint of they hear about it.

[Reshulla] “Actually Robin and Ana wanted to come with you too, but seeing how busy Robin is…as for Ana, apparently she need to be with her family for some kind of gathering, so none of us can go with you.”

[James] “I see…”

I had a strong feeling they would come with me, so I was getting myself ready for their answer…hmm? Why is Reshulla trembling?

[Reshulla] “Could—could it be that you’ll…”

[James] “Re—Reshulla, what’s wrong?”

[Reshulla] “Could it be that you’ll be lonely without us!?”

[James] “If you already know, then why are you smiling?”

As soon as I said that, while giggling, Reshulla pounced at me and now she is lying down on top of me.

For the record, she’s wearing a thin shirt with a big opening that exposes her shoulders that has a print of a multi colored lady with sunglasses and black leggings.

Speaking of her shirt, because it has such a big opening and since she is leaning on me right now, I can see her bountiful mounts swaying as she crawls closer to my face.

[James] “Hey—what are you…mmph…”

I wasn’t able to finish since Reshulla started to hug my head tightly, so now half of my face is now buried between her breasts.

[Reshulla] “Kyuuuu~ I never would have though you would say that in front of me! I guess giving you that potion was a good choice! Fufufufu~”

[James] “Hmm, what do you mean?”

I seriously have no idea what she is talking about, did something happened to me without even noticing?

Wait, could she be talking about…my sexual urges. Now that I remember, I tend to have a very weak resistance when it comes to being sexually urged by them…is she talking about that!?

[Reshulla] “You became a lot honest compared to before.”

Oh, she’s talking about that. I misunderstood, how embarrassing.

[Reshulla] “And other than that…”

Huh, there’s more?

[Reshulla] “You’ve become cuter.”

Eh, me, cute!? I’ve been call many things before but being called cute is a first for me! For some reason it makes my skin itch.

[James] “Don’t call me cute, it makes me feel weird.”

[Reshulla] “Weird? Is it the naughty kind of felling?”

Damn it, she’s doing it again! Whenever she makes that blushed smile, my composure tends to weaken. I have to find a way out of her grip, or in this case, her hug.

[Reshulla] “Chup…hmmm…”

Nope, too late. I guess was too busy thinking and didn’t notice her lips getting closer.

[Reshulla] “Fufufufu~ chu…chu…fufuf~…hmm…”

For those who are wondering on what Reshulla is doing to me right now, I will explain. We are not smacking tongues, sure she is kissing me on my lips but she isn’t…you know…putting it in.

More like, the way she kisses me bit by bit while slipping a few giggles every now and then is making my inner gentleman change into a perv.

I need to make her stop before Ana get back, if she sees this, she would definitely force herself to join in.

[James] “Humm…hey…chu…hey Reshulla.”

[Reshulla] “Yeah, what is it?”

Great, it’s working. But…she’s still making that face! Quick James, look away and continue before she finds out that your lower friend is making a Jiffy Stiffy!

[James] “I’m…I’m a little surprised that you’re willing to stay in the island.”

To be honest, I could have sworn that she would do whatever it takes to come with me. So hearing her not coming along is a bit surprising to me and it will get me out of this situation, so I get 2 benefits out of asking this.

For a few seconds, she looks at me in wonder but then she smiles and rests her head on my chest.

[Reshulla] “Seeing how I act, I guess you question normal…”

As she continues to speak, she lifts her body and is now looking at me seriously in the eyes.

[Reshulla] “You know that I love you, right?”

[James] “W—well yeah, I do know that.”

Wha—why is she saying something embarrassing without even batting an eye, as for myself, I can feel my cheeks burning. Damn it, just how immature am I when it comes to these kinds of things!?

[Reshulla] “Yes, that’s right. I love you, I love you so much that I’m willing to do anything for you. If you want me to sleep with you, then I’ll let you have your way with my body whenever you want. If you want to have more women in your life, as long as you keep loving me then you may do so.”

[James] “What are you saying out of the blue like tha—mmph.”

I was about to say something but she closes my mouth with her finger. Apparently she wasn’t done talking. I hope it isn’t something embarrassing again…what am I saying, I’m sure it will be.

[Reshulla] “What I’m trying to say is that I’m completely fallen for you, I’m obsessed about you, I’m willing to do anything you want.”

Wuhaaa! Stop, seriously, my face is practically red as a tomato right now! All the blood is rushing to my cheeks so my lower friend is no longer energetic!

[Reshulla] “What I just said right now is true to its core, but…”

While I try to hide my red dyed face, she continues to look at me with a serious look and then got off me, returning how she is seated before she pounced at me.

[Reshulla] “I don’t ever want to restrain you, because the man I fell in love with is someone that could faces impossible odds that could even make the most finest of soldiers tremble, he could look a monstrous giant in the eyes without a single thread of fear and most of all, the man I fell in love with is free to do as he pleases.

That is the kind of man James Moriarty which I love with every fiber of my being.”

Those words she just said and the expression she is showing me right now doesn’t have a beat of lie whatsoever. When she was lying down on my chest, her heart beat was normal and the expression she has right now is full of confidence.

[James] “*Sigh* You’re one hell of a woman Reshulla.”

[Reshulla] “That and more James.”

[James] “I guess so.”

[Reshulla] “Hehe, have you fallen for me even more?”

I’ll just be quite and take a sip of my milk; since I already know that if I say ‘Yes, I have’ she would most likely pounce at me again, which I would really want to avoid right now because I don’t think my friend down under wouldn’t be able to keep his calm.

As I try to avoid eye contact towards Reshulla, we heard a strong banging and what soon came after are heavy footsteps.

[Anastasia] “Why didn’t any of you say anything about my clothes!?”

So she was able to notice in the end, huh? But then again who wouldn’t?

Ana came rushing back in with blushed cheeks while carrying our ordered food on her arms trembling and teary.

Wait, trembling, teary? Why is she crying, did something happen? I was about to ask her but Reshulla got ahead of me and asks.

[Anastasia] “Well, I was able to notice that I’m only wearing a shirt when I got to the deliveryman, but since all I have to do is pay I thought that I could just give him the money. But then he started to hit on me, saying things like, he’s works out or he plans to make me his and then he—“

[Reshulla] “Its fine Ana, you don’t have to say anything else.”

[Anastasia] “Huh? What makes you say that?”

[Reshulla] “Because James’ already walking outside ready to take care of him.”

[Anastasia] “Eh?”

That son a bitch got a lot of guts to make a girl cry, in front of my house no less!

[James] “Hey you!”

[Delivery Douche] “Ah, could you be her older brother? Sorry about that I just couldn’t help but hit on your sister since she’s so beautiful, oh but you don’t have to worry, I’ll make sure she’ll be hapeeEEEK!”

This little prick still has the guts to open his mouth, huh? Well, let’s just see if he can still open that turd hole he calls a mouth after this.

[???] “*Pop* What’s going on here?”

I was about to intimidated the little Lust Monkey, but someone that we’ve been waiting for finally came home while carrying her bag.

With her usual ‘Pop’, Robin stood with a slight confused look.

One of the reasons why that she only got home is of course she was busy, but the other was she herself said that I should go on home ahead of her. I said that I’m willing to wait or I’ll come back and pick her up but she refused.

[James] “Welcome ba—“

[Delivery Douche] “What a beautiful girl! If you don’t mind, may I have your name, oh and your address to please?”

[Robin] “………………Is this guy serious?”

Yes Robin, this guy is serious, serious enough for me to give him a good ass kicking. Well, I’m not really going to kick his ass though; I’m just going to tell him off. I can handle the authorities, but I don’t really want to cause trouble.

And just as I planed, I was about to tell him off until…

[Robin] “Look here kid, I don’t know why you want my name but if my address is what you want, then you already standing in front of it.”

[Delivery Douche] “Wow, you live here to? You and your older brother and sister must have a really big family.”

Technically, Robin is 4 months older than me, but hey, who’s counting.

[Robin] ”Older brother, sister? What are you talking about?”

[Delivery Douche] “Huh?”

Oh, looks like Robin will be clarifying it for me; I guess I don’t have to say anything for now, not unless this guy tries something to Robin too.

[Robin] “First of all, I don’t have to say my name to a brat, second, the guys standing inside the gate isn’t my brother but my boyfriend.”

[Delivery Douche] “Eh? No way! This guy has a hot girl like you as his woman and you even live with his younger sister!?”

[Robin] “Younger sister, who is he talking about?”

With a confused look, Robin looks at me for answers and I then said what happened to Ana.

[Robin] “Hmm, I see. So that’s what happened.”

Ah, I know this face; I’ve seen this face before.

It was 5 days ago, Ana, Robin and I went out to the market to buy groceries and Reshulla was still doing the inventory in the secret warehouse of the academy, so she just asked us to buy what she wants.

I’ll be honest here and say that it was half my fault. I was just right behind them carrying the groceries until I found a new soymilk chocolate drink and trailed off.

After buying a box of chocolate soymilk, I quickly realized that I wasn’t with the girls anymore. I quickly ran out of the continent store and looked for them.

Fortunately I was able to find them quickly, but unfortunately for Ana and Robin, some sleazy looking men are talking to them.

Ana was hiding behind Robin, while Robin herself is talking to the 4 sleazy men while slapping away their hand before they even touch Ana or Robin. Seeing Robin defend Ana like this really shows how brave she is and the other thing I noticed was Robin really hates men that act like this.

Of course I didn’t just stand in the corner and watched, I quickly ran towards them and chased of the 4 men away by intimidation. I then turn around and checked if any of them are Ok, but…

[Robin] “Where the hell have you been…no forget that, what I want to ask you now is…”

She then point at the box I’m carrying along with the other groceries.

[Robin] “That extra baggage you are carrying, what is it? I don’t remember us buying that.”

[James] “*Gulp*”

I was scolded for using money carelessly.

In the end she let me keep the drinks, but it was still embarrassing since she scolded me for 30 whole minutes and when the scolding was over the shop owners who knew Robin laughed and said things like ‘She has a firm grip on you, huh kid? Hahaha!’ or ‘You shouldn’t leave the ladies like that, young man. Fufufufu~’.

That was the 2nd time something to me that got me laughed at in the market area.

You know what; let’s just forget about that, what’s important right now is that Robin is making that same face when she was confronting the 4 sleazy men before.

[Robin] “Let me make this clear for you to understand, I’m this man’s woman, in other words, I belong to him and about the girl you just sexually harassed?”

[Delivery Douche] “N—no way, you mean—“

Robin didn’t let him finish what he was about to say, she just continued saying…

[Robin] “Yes, that’s right. The silver haired beauty is also his woman, oh and just in case you try anything funny, there’s another woman inside the house that also head over heels towards him.”

While saying those words she opens the gate, walks in and closes it with a slight bang and finished her sentence while glaring at the delivery guy.

[Robin] “In other words…don’t ever try anything funny to the people in this house again. do you understand, Terry Elroy?”

In honesty, my anger has dispersed and I started to feel a little bit sorry for the guy. Actually, I wanted to ask Robin to stop, but she might direct her anger towards me, so I decided to refrain.

Hmm, Terry Elroy? Who the hell is that?

[Delivery Douche] “H—how do you know my name!?”

Eh!? That name was yours!?

[Robin] “Is that really relevant right now, don’t you have a job to go back to?”

I can count how many things that can make me feel a chill down my spine by only using one hand and in one of those numbers is Robin acting like this.

Please Mama Robin, spare the kid. I know he did something naughty, but I think he has learned his lesson. At least that’s what I think.

The delivery guy named terry said his apologies and started to walk back to his bike while swaying left and right. I sure hope he doesn’t suddenly faint while riding his bike, they might show this in the news.

I could see the news now…‘A young man died due to not only by a bike accident but also from both mental trauma and heart break. Report says that the man was found dead with tears flowing down his eyes.’ something like that.

Seeing the delivery guy ride off, Robin and I started to make our way back home. I then remembered something that Robin said just a while ago.

[James] “Hey Robin, how did you know the guy?”

[Robin] “I told you that I’m beefing up the security system right?”

[James] “Yeah.”

[Robin] “Well, while I’m waiting for the upgrade to finish, I thought that I might as well check the Teachers and Students identification just in case someone snuck in like last time.”

[James] “So that means he’s a…”

[Robin] “Terry Elroy, 4th year high school. He’s actually well known for two-timing different girls and just uses them for their money or fame, a real scum.”

So that’s why he was somewhat stubborn about Ana, though it is true that Ana is rich, but he must have thought that she was loaded because of my house.

[Robin] “By the way James, that call you got this afternoon. I told Teach about it.”

[James] “I know, Reshulla just told me a while ago.”

[Robin] “Then I guess you already know that we can’t come with you.”

[James] “Don’t worry about it; I know all of you have things to do.”

[Robin] “I really wanted to come though. Anyway, when will you be leaving for London?”

[James] “That’s the thing Robin; they said it was urgent...”

I already got my things ready when I got back home, my change of clothes as well as my partners; Hiltraud, the gun without form and Nanashi, the sword that can cut anything is already in their cases.

[James] “I’ll be leaving tomorrow afternoon.”

Though she tried to hide it, I was able to sense Robin’s saddening surprise. I was about to open the door, but I stop and faced Robin who stood behind me while having her head look down and ask.

[James] “Are you going to be alright?”

She didn’t answer quickly and stayed quiet for a few seconds and then she takes a deep breath and gave me an energetic smile.

[Robin] “I’ll be fine, I have Teach—I mean, Reshulla and Ana with me, I’m not alone anymore.”

Hearing her words made me smile; I then open the door and let her in first.

[Anastasia] “Ah, welcome home Robin. I ordered food for you too, just in case you got hungry and didn’t get to eat anything.”

[Reshulla] “Welcome back, working for so long like that must be tough. Here, I got you some ice-coffee. It’ll help you relax a bit.”

[Robin] “Thanks, Hmmph…hah, it’s good to be back home. Sitting on that chair made my back hurt.”

Well, whatever that urgent business in London is, I’ll make sure to finish it quickly as I could. After all, I want to go back spending time with these girls and return to our usual days.
