A Meeting, Of Course

I follow Claire to the main tent with my gramps, Innu, Luna and Asami behind me. I'm still holding onto the **** Devil of Temptation. We enter the tent and I see Liz, Myla, Hino, Kallen, Kagiyama and Sugano waiting inside.

"Thanks for your help ea..." Kallen starts before stopping when he sees who I'm holding.

"So, what do I do with this guy?" I ask them while holding up the Devil of Temptation.

"Is he alive!?" Myla asks me in shock.

"Yeah, one of your people gave me a pair of cuffs but I don't know where to leave him." I answer.

"You can place him here." Kagiyama says while walking over to a large wooden post with a metal hook embedded into it. "We planned to put the Litch King here but he got away." He continues and I place the Devil of Temptation on it.

"How did he escape?" Asami asks.

"The Spatial Devil showed up and took him before leaving. Fortunately for us though, his undead perished when he left. He must've gone outside their radius." Sugano answers.

"So, how were things here?" Liz asks. "I can tell the Devil of Strength was here too."

"I took care of Strength. But he did get away." My gramps answers.

"We fought the Devil of Temptation and managed to prevent him from destroying anything. But he was too much for us to handle." Asami says a little upset.

"So, how'd you knock him out?" Kallen asks a little confused.

"I did." I answer before continuing. "I used my Devil powers to surprise them and create an opening for Luna to attack. Then after I killed the Golden Devil he was stunned from the shock. That let me knock him out."

"You killed the Golden Devil!?" Liz asks me shocked herself.

"Yep, but I couldn't have done it without Luna. If she didn't hit him with her spell then he would've had to much health." I say and pet her. She smiles smugly and wags her tails.

"What did you get from your other seal?" Kagiyama asks and I take a moment to think before answering.

"Do you know what a Mythos is?" I ask.

"What did you say?" Sugano asks while rubbing her ear. "I couldn't hear it." She continues.

"Did it sound like I said Redacted?" I ask and she nods. "Okay, I can't say the name. But it's the race I am, and so was my mother. They're apparently the first of the Lyna, but that's all I know. Oh! They can all use all Schools of magic though, that's why I can do that." I answer and I hear my gramps laugh.

"You answered one question and got a bunch more!" He says before laughing again.

"I should've stayed here. I missed so much!" Liz says sarcastically, trying to lighten the mood.

"So Eric, what made you decide to break the seal now?" Kallen asks me.

"My gramps gave me a Storage Crystal that my parents left. The only way to open it was to break the seal." I say. I'm not sure how they'd react if I told them about the Summon Me! Item I got. So instead I told them another truth, so I could fool Asami too. I see her look at me, slightly mad and a little worried and sigh.

"Well, is their anything else we need to know about?" Sugano asks, but not just to me, to everyone. No one says anything and Kagiyama a takes over.

"Then write your reports after you've rested and send them to me." He says and everyone else nods.

"Eric hang on a minute." Liz says after I've left the tent with the others. "Can you meet up with me tomorrow? The principal already gave you, Hino and Myla the day off. Just in case you guys needed to recover."

"Sure, when and where?"

"Here, let's trade numbers. I'll text you the time and place." She says and we do. She turns back around after saying bye and walks back into the tent. I walk back up to the girls, Claire and my gramps.

"Eric, give me a call once you've opened that crystal." My gramps says and I nod. "Good job today." He continues after a awkward moment of silence.

"Come on!" Claire says while grabbing his ear. I chuckle and turn back to the girls.

"Are you three ready to go home?" I ask and they nod. Innu suddenly jumps, startling Asami.

"Sorry, I need to return this!" She says holding up her sword and running back into the tent. She comes out a moment later and smiles. "Ready!" She says and I take us back to my Domain. I immediately see Ramia sitting on the couch.

"W-welcome back!" She says standing up. "Is e-everyone alright?" She asks worried and looking us over.

"We're mostly fine. Don't worry." I answer and she sighs in relief.

"Alpha, let's go in the spring!" Luna says excitedly.

"Sure, let me go grab a towel." I answer and exit to my apartment. I grab my towel and return. I find the girls, including Ramia, waiting for me.

"Come on!" Innu says, pulling on my arm. I smile and we walk over to the spring. On the way Asami tells Ramia about what happened. She gets to the part where I made the bird of fire when we get to the spring.

"Let's get in!" Luna says, starting to strip.

"W-what are you d-doing!?" Ramia asks in embarrassment.

"We can't clean ourselves without getting naked! Besides, our clothes will get uncomfortable if we keep them on." Innu says while stripping as well.

"Sorry Ramia, if you want we'll get Eric to make you a swimsuit." Asami says, naked. Ramia looks at them embarrassed and turns to me. I've taken off my shirt and am pulling off my belt.

"N-no, I'll be f-fine." She answers and starts pulling her shirt off. I smile while I finish taking my pants off. I start to walk into the spring when Luna stops me.

"No! No underwear allowed!" She says while smiling.
