Interlude 15 – The Heroes Meet Again.

"Oh, ho ho! There's our always fashionably late Samurai!" A muscular black-haired man laughed as she sat on a couch with two Elven women clung to either side of him tightly. On each was a visible choker that signified that they were his slaves, and he was busy groping both of them under their thin white clothing. "We were beginning to think you weren't going to come, Shiroe."

"Its not like I wanted to, but considering the alternative was death, I had no choice. Though I wish you hadn't come, Muichiro." Amakusa glared at him as she entered the small side room, within which the other three Heroes that were summoned alongside her were waiting.

{I see he's the same as always. Just being in the same room as a man like him puts my hackles up, but I just need to put that out of my mind and work with him if we're to win.} (Amakusa)

"Owch! You're always such a thorny woman, Shiroe!" Muichiro laughed loudly. "You need to relax and unwind sometimes. Tell you what, how about we go into town and get you a nice slave to make you feel better tonight? I think you could use a bit of bedroom action." He winked. This was something he'd said to her many times in the past, and by this part it was basically a running joke. Though, unbeknownst to him or the other Heroes, Shiroe had done exactly that kind of thing in the past as a form of stress relief.

{I'd offer to do it myself, but I'd like to keep my lower parts...} (Muichiro)

"Come on, Muichiro, stop harassing her." A blond-haired woman wearing nun-like clothing chastised him as she sipped her tea. "Don't go trying to bring Shiroe down to your level. Girls like her and I need to remain pure maidens." She giggled.

"Ohhhh! You're a fucking riot, Hitomi!" Muichiro chuckled. "As if you of all people have any right to criticize my fun or act like some kind of pure maiden."

{I know what you're all about! And I like it!} (Muichiro)

"What could you possibly mean? I am the Holy Maiden summoned by Lord Gale, and am the epitome of purity." Hitmoi puffed up her cheeks slightly.

"Ok. Ok. You keep telling people that, but I hate to tell you that we all know what you do with that girl during the night." Muichiro winked. "And I gotta say, I'm fucking proud of you! You are truly a woman of culture, Hitomi! I'd tip my hat at you if I wore one." He snickered.

{I've had my share of adventure in the bedroom, and keeping it spiced up is always fun. Heck, I've heard that Hitomi took a potion that made her into a man for a while just to have a some fun with her little pet. I should give that a try, just once.} (Muichiro)

"It's good to see that everyone is still such good friends." A young man with brown hair and a baby face said as he walked over to Amakusa. He seemed quite young compared to the others, and he and Shiroe usually tied for the amount of people who thought they were still teenagers. "And it's good to see you again, Shiroe. I've heard you've kept up your training even after we defeated the Spirits, and I can tell that you've improved a lot." He smiled brightly. Shiroe had never stopped her sword practice, and he could tell that she was likely the most powerful of the four of them now.

{Damn this man. I can't be annoyed with him when he acts so nice...} (Amakusa)

"You never know what lies around the next corner, Kanato. I figured it was only a matter of time until I need to use my power again, and well... Here we are." Amakusa replied with an overly dramatic sigh. "Unlike some people who shall not be named. I understand that this is a dangerous world and that it's foolish to just rest on my laurels." She glanced between the other three Heroes who, while still strong, had either plateaued or gotten slightly weaker.

"H-Hey. I've not just sat around doing nothing!" Kanato protested weakly. "I've kept up my training in between the other things I've been doing." He rubbed the back of his head as he laughed.

{Having a family and kids takes a lot of time!} (Kanato)

"By doing do you mean your wives?" Amakusa smirked. "I heard you just had your third child already. Isn't that a bit soon? It's only been just over a year since we managed to push back the Spirits."

{Not to mention that you're barely younger than me! Aren't you like twenty-five? How are you just okay with making babies that young?!?} (Amakusa)

"W-Well... in this world, it's normal to have children at this age, and I couldn't really say no when they all asked me so nicely..." Kanato gave a dry laugh. "Everyone is really happy anyway, so I think it's fine." He only had three wives, and contrary to many of the rumors about him, Kanato wasn't a womanizer that tried to seduce anything that moved.

{Not to mention, it's not exactly easy to refuse so many beautiful women when they're actively ASKING to have my kids.} (Kanato)

"At this rate, you'll have dozens of children since I bet each of your wives is going to want multiple each." Amakusa rolled her eyes "I still have no clue how so many women could fall head over heels for an idiot like you."

{At least this man, for all the evil that he is, won't touch young girls... I guess I should be glad that he's not THAT kind of man, but he's still awful.} (Amakusa)

{Muichiro...} (Kanato)

{Raffey was so cute that one time she turned into a Kitsune. I should get her to do that again so we can have fun.} (Hitomi)

"Do I even want to know how many children you've made, Muichiro?" Amakusa sighed, figuring that number made Kanato's three look small.

"I have no clue." Muichiro shrugged. "The Church takes them, and I don't really care about what happens afterward. The only two women with whom I want to keep the children are these two lovely sisters right here, anyway." He took his hand out of their shirts and grabbed their butts, which caused them to blush. "Elves have always been a favorite of mine, and getting such a sweet deal as to make two sisters my slave wives was a dream come true." He laughed.

{Having them go at it with each other is also equally great! Maybe I should get that potion and have one become the brother for a bit too!} (Muichiro)

"We would be honored, master." (Elf Slaves)

"When you say it like that, I might just have to give them to you sooner than I planned." Muichiro snickered. "My iron will has held out so far, despite the two of you being such temptresses in bed."

{I don't tend to agree with Muichiro on many things, but yeah he's right about this one. Having women asking for your kids is something that few men can resist...} (Kanato)

"All this talk of children is lovely and all, but how about we get back to the reason we're here in the first place." Amakusa sighed, wanting to get away from this topic. "We need to put together a proper plan so that we can fight these Spirits together."

{From what I've been told, we don't have much time.} (Amakusa)

"Bah!" Muichiro scoffed. "We kicked their ass the first time, and we'll do it again. All they did was hop worlds, it's not like they suddenly got powerful or something."

"Perhaps the people of that world have aligned with them?" Hitomi brought up a good point. "If they joined forced with the people of that world, it may prove problematic." Though she doubted that there would be a problem, since there were likely few people as strong as Heroes empowered by Gods.

"If that's the case, then we'll just have to show them how evil the Spirits really are." Kanato commented. "They need to understand how dangerous they are and what kind of risk they pose to their world as well as ours. I just hope we can do things with minimal violence. We're Heroes summoned by the Gods, not homicidal maniacs, and we should act like it."

{Perhaps your little statement would ring true if not for the fact that we DO have a maniac like that on our team. Muichiro is no stranger to torturing people, forcing himself on women, and much worse. The man is a monster and one that I suspect we'll need to put down one of these days.} (Amakusa)
