JACG Chapter 78 ( Invitation )

I contemplated on how I was going to get my Mother to take care of Regulus. I usually had some sort of action already in the barrel. For this particular issue, I was finding myself drawing a blank. Asking someone to take care of a child is a rather large ask in most cases, she is my mother but she would need a reason.

The problem was I had none. I could not say that he was a relative that needed to be taken care of. My mother knew our family situation better than I did and she was not feeling particularly kind to any relative. If I claimed he was a relative from my father’s side the outcome would be even worse. So the sudden relative route was out of the question.

What other reasons could I put up for basically adopting a child? Did I see him on the street and suddenly felt pity? It would be completely out of character but it was the only plausible route. I would just have to lie my ass off….Maybe I am being a little too hasty there had to be a better way.

I supposed I could be entirely honest. This small child is an incredibly powerful artifact that has sentience and he is tasked in protecting you. It would be a ridiculous story but one that I could prove. It would mean not lying to my Mother which would take a massive load off of my mind.

I bit my lip as that decision might be the best one but it was not an easy task to take up. I looked over at the lazy lion as he stood with a bored look on his face. I could give him the Death Cloak and have him follow my Mother. It would not be the best solution but it would give me time to figure something else out. This plan did mean I needed to give up the Death Cloak for a bit but that was not a big deal. I may have used it a ton but it was not needed all the time. I was more than capable of turning myself invisible.

I was going to run with this plan for now. Stalling may not be the greatest choice but it was the one I was going with. It was possible that all of this would blow up in my face but I needed time to think.

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: Oh, Prince-san I got to thank you for dealing with Riser. Watching the chaos from the sidelines has been hilarious. It has gotten bad enough that even my father is having doubts about our marriage.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: So the hit is effective, No one knows what happened to Kayaba but if the hit was effective on Riser then it had to be effective on Kayaba. I wish people would tell me more stuff but everyone refuses to bring up Sword Art Online while I’m recovering.]

[Grade A Bottom: Prince-san is very effective.]

[I Was A Hunter But I Took An Arrow To The Heel: Ducks…Ducks every where…]

[NTR Victim: Y’all are being babies. You recovering from something Argo? I can’t stab you if you are already in a hospital bed.]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: Your priorities remain odd Ashley-chan.]

[NTR Victim: We did not have a moment Magic Tits.]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: BUT WE DID!!!]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: ??? We spent two years trapped in a virtual world our bodies are pretty fucked up. It’s going to take months before I walk properly again.]

[NTR Victim: Wow sucks to suck, get on my level with magical bullshit and you don’t have to deal with shit like that.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: Magic is bullshit!]

I looked at the screen in confusion for a moment before I realized the situation. Argo had been trapped in Sword Art Online and her body did not receive the same amount of care that ours did. Which meant she was malnutrition and had atrophy on most of her muscles. She was in a pretty bad situation and I kind of just forgot about that.

[Overdramatic Fool: I would offer to send you potions to fix your current situation but I am not sure if that is for the best.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: You can fix this!?! Why would that be a bad idea!?]

[Overdramatic Fool: Well do you have a way to explain your sudden and dramatic recovery? Or do you expect no one to care that you suddenly are in perfect health.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: ……….I hate that you make sense…..GAH, why can’t magical bullshit help me!]

[Overdramatic Fool: I’m going to take Ashley’s words here sucks to suck :p I’m glad that my hit is doing you good Rias, I’m interested in hearing about what is happening.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: Gah!!! Curse you and your rational opinions !]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: I might be able to help Argo-san but it is going to have to wait. I could only hypnotize everyone if I was there in person. Which means I would need to spend points to travel to your world. I’m saving up for something right now so I can’t help just yet.]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: It really has been fun to watch Prince-san. The other day Riser’s teleportation got mixed up and he ended up in a garbage truck. The look on his face, when he realized that a crowd of devils happened to see him tear himself out of the dump truck was hilarious. ]

[Overdramatic Fool: It’s good that you are happy with what is happening. Do you want it to get worse or are you happy with how things are right now? Also, the ability to hypnotize people is really interesting do you mind teaching me it?]

[Grade A Bottom: He is trying to become the ultimate NTR protagonist!]

[NTR Victim: Kinky.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: For shame Prince! Was Ashley not good enough did you need to further your fall into degeneracy!]

[Overdramatic Fool: I hate you guys. I’m mainly doing this for you Argo.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin:!?!?!?!?!?!]

[Grade A Bottom: HE IS CHANGING TARGETS EVERYONE HIDE!]

[NTR Victim: !?!? Do I need to stab a bitch!?]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: That is rather forward Prince-san. ]

[Overdramatic Fool:.... I meant that I would be learning to hypnotize people so I could go to Argo’s world and heal her without anyone freaking out. I have enough points to take care of that.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin:....Do you promise that's all?]

[Overdramatic Fool: Come on Argo we have been friends for years I’m not going to hypnotize you.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin:....That does make sense, sorry Prince but you have a record.]

[Overdramatic Fool: I’m not a NTR PROTGAOINST!! Ask Ashley!]

[NTR Victim: My name begs to differ. I’m also still deciding if I need to stab a bitch.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: Come on Ashley I’m sickly you can’t stab me.]

[NTR Victim: It’s not you who is on the chopping block. I was already going to stab you but it was postponed. I was deciding if I was going to stab Magic Tits.]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: What did I do!?!?!]

[NTR Victim: Well I need to stab someone and you just so happen to be within stabbing range.]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: ??????]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: Your sacrifice will be remembered Rias-san.]

[Grade A Bottom: I will never forget you Rias-san.]

[Overdramatic Fool: It’s always the good ones that die young. Rest in peace Rias-san.]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: GAH! Don’t write me off just like that!]

[Overdramatic Fool: I can swear that I could still hear her. I must be mad in grief.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: It must have been from something from Sword Art Online as I too hear her.]

[Grade A Bottom: Maybe it’s the Chat Group, I’m hearing her as well!]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: Ashley-chan hasn't even decided if she was going to stab me yet!!!]

[NTR Victim: I’m conflicted on one hand this is hilarious on the other hand is my knife. Decisions, decisions. ]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: …that does not sound very conflicted Ashley-Chan. I THOUGHT WE WERE BONDING!! ]

[Overdramatic Fool: Pffft alright everyone cool it, let’s get back to some semblance of order.]

[NTR Victim: Lame.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: Real party pooper that guy.]

[Grade A Bottom: The shenanigans have been put to rest instead of Rias-san.]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: Thank god. THE PAIN!!! …..worth it.]

[Overdramatic Fool: So what’s the verdict? Are you willing to teach me Rias-san?]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: Sure why not, it’s not that complicated. Although I don’t know if you can learn magic from me. Devils cast magic rather differently.]

[Grade A Bottom: He is still becoming the ultimate NTR protagonist.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: He is making a deal with a devil to learn how to hypnotize people it’s the perfect set up.]

[Overdramatic Fool: I’m begging to regret even offering to help Argo. Fuck it I would still like to learn new magic even if I don’t help Argo.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: Wait no! I have been trapped in a bed for weeks Prince! WEEKS, I WANT TO WALK AGAIN!]

[Overdramatic Fool: Say pretty please.]

[NTR Victim:Hehehehehe.]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin: His vengeance was swift and oh so humiliating. PRETTY PLEASE!]

[NTR Victim: What about Izumi, they joined in as well.]

[Grade A Bottom: Woah woah! No need to bring my name up! I’m just a side character. No need to worry about me!!!]

[Overdramatic Fool: I feel like you have so many misunderstandings about me Izumi-san. I know it’s mostly my fault but I’m not going to suddenly pop into your world and do stuff.]

[Grade A Bottom: I’M SORRY DON’T TOUCH MY BUTT!]

[Overdramatic Fool: ….I was not threatening you I was being serious. Relax dude.]

[NTR Victim: I dunno I kind of want to see you top him just because he squirms so much.]

[Grade A Bottom: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!]

[Khajit Has Information If You Have Coin:...That tracks.]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: Run Izumi-chan don’t make your username a reality! ]

[Overdramatic Fool: ….there is so much there to unpack but I don’t even want to touch that topic….So changing the subject. When are you free Rias-san I would like to learn that magic and train my Sacred Gear as well.]

[Overdramatic Fool: Oh, I also have a lot of potions I want to run by you. I’m not sure what potions you have but I am a really skilled potions master. I was hoping to sell some of them to get skills from your world. I just finished a potion that should mimic the effects of Phoneix Tears. Well, I suppose that does not mean anything to you but they are highly effective healing items.]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: Wait, are you for real!?!?!]

[Overdramatic Fool: I have not tested them just yet but in theory it should work.]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: It’s like you were born to mess with Riser! I think you just became my new best friend. Sorry Izumi-chan.]

[Grade A Bottom: Shhhhhh I’m not here, I’m blending into the background.]

[NTR Victim: Don’t seduce Magic Tits Prince you still need to dom Izumi first.]

[Grade A Bottom: Not here not here not here NOT HERE!]

[The Best Oppai In The Underworld: I’m not that easy Ashley-chan your boyfriend can’t seduce me!]

[NTR Victim: ….I kind of want to see him try just to prove you wrong.]

Great now I can visit Rias’ world and increase my power further. I then laughed lightly at Rias’ comment. She may think she was not easy but she was probably the easiest person in the world to seduce. Someone like Issei was capable of doing it, so anyone that was kind and powerful should be capable of doing the same.

I also had far too many tools under my belt for seduction. The group may have joked around about my NTR Protgaoinst status but they were hitting close to home. I had too many skills that would fall in that vein.

Not that I was planning on using them.
