Cliche Chapter 460-461: Hades’s Proposal
🕑 Added 2022-05-19 02:55:30 +0000 UTCWhen Asahi reached Ryuu’s room, Aimi and the elf were locked in a staring contest. Ryuu seemed too embarrassed to say a word, while Aimi thought of many situations that would have led Ryuu to receive a collar from Asahi.
Aimi suddenly looked to her right. The exact spot Asahi was hiding. She narrowed her eyes, trying to find something. She had a hunch that Asahi was there.
Asahi gulped his saliva. The sense of a yandere could breach the stealth of the EX-Tier artifact, or it could be the passive power gained from accumulating over 500 affection points.
Aimi chalked her premonition to a false alarm, as she had no reason to suspect Asahi of hiding in Ryuu’s room. Asahi had to be dealing with Hephaestus and Freya as per the last report from Klyscha.
(You must miss him.)
Aimi sighed. ‘I’ll keep him to myself tonight. Don’t deny me, Klyscha-sama.’
(Uh... sure.)
After thanking Klyscha, Aimi turned back to Ryuu. “Do you want to say something?
Ryuu sat on the bed and held her collar. “Aimi-san, there isn’t much to say about this. I’ll be Asahi-kun’s slave until I prove myself.”
“Okay… are you free right now?”
“Yes.”
“Come with me.”
Aimi didn’t wait for an answer and yanked Ryuu to her feet. She dragged Ryuu out of the room. Asahi scratched his head, confused by the weirdest exchange he had seen this month. He expected Aimi to have a brighter reaction, but he forgot she became less emotional without his direct involvement.
“Things would have ended differently if they spoke more… but both prefer fewer words and more action.”
To check on Yuriko’s progress, Asahi teleported to her room in the Yotsuba Mansion. Yuriko was curled up on the bed, concealed inside a thick layer of dark aura. Saya slept nearby on a chair, earphones plugged in her ears.
(It’s almost done. Half an hour at most.)
‘Waiting a day is better than my painful transformation.’
Asahi took another chair and sat beside Saya. “Nothing beats stalking my wives when they sleep.”
The next few minutes were peaceful, then a pulse of mana passed through the room. Asahi opened his eyes to an amazing sight—Yuriko checking out her midnight black feathery wings.
“Hello?”
“You woke up,” she said, turning to him with a soft, mature smile. “I changed.”
“You became more beautiful.”
“Really?” She stood and whirled around, spreading her brand new wings to their full length. The feathery wings easily covered most of the room.
“I feel powerful,” Yuriko whispered. “Dear, can you show me my status?”
‘Klyscha.’
(In a jiffy, my love.)
Yuriko Takagi: Saya’s mother and owner of Takagi Mansion.
—Favorability points: 249 [Husband]
—Age: 39
—Lvl. 1
—Race: Fallen Angel (First Ascension)
—Class: —
Attributes:

Skills:
[—Earth Element (A-Rank)]
[—Firearm Mastery (C-Rank)]

[—Curse of Fallen Grace (Unique): Yuriko receives more damage from divine and light magic attacks. Any harm to the wings weakens Yuriko.]
[—Divine Boost (Unique): Yuriko can enhance her body and senses through magic.]
Yuriko received more skills than him. The Fallen Feather, the EX-Tier item Yuriko used to transform, also had a hefty cost of 700,000 KP.
‘First Ascension? She can reach a higher rank like a fallen archangel?’
(She can grow more pairs of wings…)
‘That’s from DxD, isn’t it?’
(My ideas are cliché…)
“Holy… Dear, I transformed into a hero-level character!” Yuriko hugged him, pushing him into the chair with her weight. “Should I say I became a suitable wife for the Devil Emperor?”
Asahi chuckled and let Yuriko cuddle with him. “Corporate leaders are born evil.”
“Precisely why I fell for you, Dear Son-in-law.” Yuriko enveloped him and the entire chair in the warm embrace of her wings. “I achieved my goal.”
The soft feathers made him yawn, evoking a drowsy feeling. He buried his face in her chest. “I’m gonna sleep.”
“Make yourself comfortable, my child.”
“…”
“Before that, please answer one question. Do I lack compared to those angels?”
Yuriko reminded him of the angels who weren’t called to the party for one reason—the risk of falling. Something perverted always happened when Rika and Shiori were in the same room. Gabriel was a lost cause already, but Sandalphon was clueless about most things. He didn’t want Sandalphon to change just yet.
So he didn’t invite either of the angels to make it fair. He would make up for this later with lots of dates on the beach.
Asahi bit the smooth skin of Yuriko’s tits. “No, your wings provide me with motherly comfort.”
“I am your mother-in-law, ufufu.”
He himself wasn’t sure about the meaning of his words. But Yuriko seemed satisfied with his answer.

Yasaka expected gods to arrive at her doorstep sometime, but she certainly didn’t expect someone from the Greek Pantheon. A grim reaper who instilled the fear of death in everyone, including her.
Yasaka put her hand on her phone but shook her head. She couldn’t bother Asahi without asking the grim reaper’s intent on coming here.
“Lower the armaments.” Yasaka stopped the guards from making a hasty decision and cautiously approached Pluto. “Welcome to Urakyoto, Grim Reaper-dono. How can my small village help you?”
The grim reaper gave a curt bow. “Pardon my unannounced arrival, Great Kitsune Leader. I, Pluto, am here on behalf of my lord Hades. Did anyone in this village see a devil woman?”
Pluto described a woman awfully similar to Lilith.
“I have seen no one like that,” Yasaka said. “Some of my people have gone out to hunt animals. Give me a day to ask everyone about this devil woman.”
“I’m most grateful for your cooperation. The vile devil harmed many lives and fled to this continent. We must contain the evil and punish it.”
Yasaka nodded even though she disagreed with everything Pluto said. “I’ll do my best to search for this vile devil.”
“Thank you once again, Great Kitsune Leader.”
Pluto sliced the space with his scythe and dashed into the rift.
Yasaka took out her phone and called Asahi.
While Yasaka talked to Asahi, Pluto went on to his next location in search of Lilith, the place his God hated the most.
The home of Biblical God.
God had no time to entertain the guests, so the duty of welcoming the Greek Envoy fell upon Michael’s shoulders. The humble archangel guided the grim reaper to a conference room before listening to his request. Pluto also went along since he was in a foreign territory.
The arrival of a Greek Envoy sent rumors to every level of Heaven.
Sandalphon had formed a new type of bond with Gabriel as both women had chosen to marry Asahi. The two wouldn't have been this close without Asahi's association. Naturally, she was in Gabriel's room accompanying Seraph in playing games when she heard of these whispers.
"What do we do?" Gabriel asked. "Does this have something to do with Asahi?"
"I'm most certain it is."
Sandalphon had met Hades and Pluto in the Underworld. So she knew about the Greek God's grievance with Asahi. She couldn't stay still after hearing about him.
"I must see him," Sandalphon said.
"I'll also go. Let's call Asahi too."
Gabriel got an excuse to get Asahi here.
"No, we shouldn't." Sandalphon shook her head at Gabriel's proposal. "We must show that we can handle these small things without him."
"But… I want headpats…"
Sandalphon stared at her lady, who pleaded with teary eyes like a puppy. Gabriel was a bit spoiled before meeting Asahi since everyone wanted to protect her but not to this extent.
'Lord changed her so much.'
She noticed the changes in Gabriel but not herself.
"We'll call him after we find the Grim Reaper's objective in coming here. That way, we'll not bore him and get more time to spend with him. Agree?"
Gabriel clapped her hands. "You're so smart."
…”
Sandalphon and Gabriel rushed to the conference room. They got there before Grim Reaper Pluto and Michael finished greeting each other.
“It’s you,” Pluto said, his eyes hidden under the cloak fixed on Sandalphon. “You’re the Devil King’s servant.”
“Devil Emperor’s fiancé,” Sandalphon corrected Pluto with a solemn face. “I’ll not tolerate any insult against Lord Asahi.”
‘Braindead birds,’ Pluto thought, grateful that his hood could hide his scorn.
Pluto shook his head. “I’m here to show you this.”
Pluto placed a silver sphere on the table, which lifted itself and spun midair. The silver sphere spewed light, turning into a giant image of Hades. The God of Hell sat upon his throne, looking down at everyone in the room.
“A communication device?” Michael frowned. “What is the purpose of this, God of Hell?”
Hades chuckled. “Don’t be alarmed. I’m gathering the leaders of all pantheons to discuss a verse-wide peace treaty. Heaven is also invited to the occasion like every other power.”
Sandalphon narrowed her eyes. The Greek god had some vendetta against her race. So she never thought she would hear the word peace treaty from Hades’s mouth.
‘He is planning something nefarious.’
Sandalphon had nothing to fear, however. Asahi’s strength had reached the point he could defeat the Great Red. What did he have to fear against a god whose power couldn’t be compared to her father?
“Don’t doubt me, Child. Accept the invitation.”
“We will,” Sandalphon said. “Do not worry. We shall be there.”
“We will!” Gabriel said. “Don’t plan anything bad, or my husband will kick your butt.”
“…”
Michael smiled at the confident words of his sister. “Her husband will represent Heaven. Is there any problem?”
Hades shook his head. “None. The Devil Emperor is a great friend of mine.”
“Nooo. He hates you.” Gabriel waved a punch in the air. “Don’t call him friend.”
Hades’s skeleton face failed to show the annoyance he felt. He put a hand on his chest before his figure vanished.
Pluto took back the silver sphere and nodded. “This is all. I will depart now.”
“Bye, nobody will miss you here.”
Heaven’s most beautiful and innocent angel was ruthless and petty toward Asahi’s enemies. Unfortunately, Asahi wasn’t here to witness the sarcastic side of his angel wife.
