Tale of Discovery

3"Here," I say while reaching my arm out to Jean with two needles on my palm, "I believe that investigating these could be beneficial."     2

Carefully taking the needles from my hand, Jean looks into my eyes before nodding once and saying,     

"What do we do with the victims?"     

Looking at the 'victims' that he is speaking of, I say,     

"I'll look after them and see if I can get any useful information."     

Finding my idea plausible, Jean nods his head before returning to the building.     

The next moment, everyone who has been hiding rushes out to where I am while cheering.     

"Prince Wales, marry me!" a blonde girl screams amid the cheering.     

"Montmorency! What about me?" Guiche, who seems to be back to be fine now, yells exasperatedly.     

"I knew it would end up like this sooner or later…" Kirche mutters while looking at the crazed crowd.     

Shrugging my shoulders, I straighten my posture before loudly saying,     

"This matter turned out to be more complicated than what we assumed. These two intruders are most likely nothing more than victims of dark and horrendous magic that made them do all this."     

Hearing my words, the crowd quietens down as the students begin whispering to each other their beliefs regarding this matter.     

"Don't worry," I say, "We will make sure to handle this matter well, by bringing justice to those behind this vile act of manipulation and returning these most likely innocent girls to where they came from."     

This seems to rile the crowd up even more than before as they begin singing high praises to me and the professors.     

Seriously, I can just borrow cheesy lines from TV shows that I've seen in my past life and it will be seen as something grand here.     

Anyway, it's about time that I headed back to the dorm room.     

Raising my right arm, I proceed to telekinetically lift Aruru and Gabriel before walking toward the main academy building.     

The crowd of students respectfully make way for me while discussing my proficiency in 'wind magic' among themselves.     

---     

Once I've arrived back in the dorm room, I let Gabriel and Aruru down before saying,     

"Good work."     

Happy to be praised, Aruru giggles before trotting over to me.     

She is just so precious...     

I lift her from the ground and give her a light peck on her cheek.     

[[Aren't you quite the lucky one, master?]]     

"The fact that you are now calling me the proper way indicates that I indeed am a lucky individual."     

[[What's that supposed to mean?]]     

"I'm glad that you're my familiar, is what I'm trying to say."     

[[Is that so?]]     

"Of course."     

My short chat with Tiamat being over, I turn to look at Ddraig who is lifelessly lying on the bed.     

I might be wronging Ddraig in some way, but I don't regret my actions in the least.     

Anyway, now I need to find a proper excuse for having Gabriel and Aruru close-by. The only idea that crosses my mind is…     

"Say, Gabriel. Do you mind dressing up as a maid for me?"     

The moment she hears my words, Gabriel raises her brows before smiling and saying,     

"If it's for Father, I can do anything."     

"Me too!" Aruru who has been happily snuggling within my arms suddenly exclaims excitedly.     

I smile at their enthusiasm before accessing my database and searching for maid outfits.     

I'm not surprised to find several skimpy ones with high skin exposure.     

Soon, I find one that will fit Gabriel perfectly. Having created Gabriel 'myself', I know her body quite well.     

However, Aruru is a different case, as, for some reason, I am unable to remember her despite her being a Fallen Angel.     

So, I have no other choice than to examine her body physically.     

Fortunately, while I am feeling her body up, Aruru seems to be enjoying it quite a lot as she continuously giggles.     

[[Master, do you mind telling me what are you doing?]]     

Hearing her question and the casual way she asked, I respond,     

"Taking her measurements to produce her a dress."     

[[Taking her measurements, huh?]]     

Yeah. What else could I be doing?     

Anyway, once I've measured every nook and cranny of Aruru's body, I begin to form the image of a fitting maid outfit.     

Several seconds later, two maid outfits take shape in front of me.     

{WARNING: Energy Below 15%}     

As I begin wondering how would it affect me, my head starts getting dizzy as I feel an overwhelming pain in my chest.     

What's going on? I don't recall something like this happening the last time I overused my Code, which was when I created the storage ring.     

That was quite the ordeal, as it sapped up 85% of my energy in one go.     

Still, despite falling to 15%, I didn't feel anything remotely close to this. Irene, do you know why is this the case?     

{Negative. Hypothesis: Father is more affected by being low on energy in Platforms.}     

Right! Back in Project Charlotte, my energy level was much more noticeable when compared to the Rift.     

Now, I need to find out if the Rift is dulling my senses or 'supporting' me somehow.     

Leaving that aside, I focus back on reality and see that Aruru is gazing at the small maid outfit on the bed with stars in her eyes.     

"Ddraig, you continue to sleep here, while I go get them changed," I say before placing the maid outfits in my ring and muttering,     

"Arena."     

The next moment, I find myself in the city of Dubai once again. As I remember my experience from the last time I was here quite vividly, I use my senses to run a quick scan for any presences.     

Surprisingly, I discover nothing out of the norm.     

So, I decided to set that matter to the side and focus on what's important.     

While holding Aruru with one arm, I walk closer to Gabriel and hold her waist with my other arm.     

Then, I fly into the luxurious hotel nearby and use permeation to pass through the walls.     

Once we're in a nice room, I set the two girls down and pull the dresses out before suggesting,     

"Would you like me to help you put them on?"     

Agreeing to the suggestion, they both begin undressing until they're in nothing other than their undergarments.     

I take this as a chance to observe their bodies.     

The first to catch my attention is Gabriel and her exquisite-looking body. Her skin looks extremely smooth and seems to be whiter than jade.     

Her breasts are rather big and firm. What catches my attention the most are her thighs and butt. Truly, a masterpiece.     

Moving onto Aruru, her body is practically that of a doll's. She doesn't wear a bra, as she doesn't need one, so I can see two small pink cherries on her non-existent breasts.     

What's adorable is the underwear she's wearing, bearing the figure of a cross with "Thy Kingdom Come" written on it.     

Anyway, I begin to help them put their outfits on, beginning with Aruru as she seems like she will burst with excitement if I delay it any further.     

Once I've helped her put the maid outfit on, I proceed to create black stockings along with a pair of black shoes despite the growing pain in my head.     

As a final touch, I create a white maid headband for her as well as a pair of small white gloves.     

Aruru seems to like her outfit a lot as she examines it several times over while twirling around in the room.     

Deciding that it's better to not leave Gabriel hanging, I move close to her and look into her eyes.     

"Your beauty always mesmerizes me," I say playfully.     

"Oh, Father," she says with a light blush on her face.     

Telekinetically moving her outfit to myself, I place my hand on her waist and say,     

"I'm looking forward to seeing you in this outfit. I bet it would look stunning when coupled with your beauty."     

Giggling lightly, Gabriel turns around to make it easier for me to help her put it on.     

Crouching down, my face is at the level of her butt, giving me a clear view of her thick thighs and simple underwear.     

Curiosity taking over me, I reach my right arm out and give her butt a light squeeze, which earns me a light yelp from Gabriel.     

"Gee! Father, stop teasing me," Gabriel says in a slightly pouting manner.     

"I'm not. It's just that I wanted to see if your body is as healthy as ever," I state before beginning with the actual process of helping her get dressed.     

While I'm putting it on for her, I take the opportunity to grope her breasts which are both firm and soft to the touch.     

"Is my body to your liking, Father?" Gabriel says after a while.     

"You bet it is," I directly reply.     

Hearing my words, Gabriel giggles a little before saying,     

"Father has changed so much."     

This is the second time that someone has said this to me, however, this time it's my daughter that is most likely speaking of quite a while ago.     

"How?" I ask, as curious as the last time I was told this.     

"Back then, Father would only show care when humans were mentioned. It was almost like Father wanted to be one," she explains.     

Almost wanted to be one? I did become one. However, it wasn't because I was fond of them or something according to what I've discovered so far, but because I simply wanted to increase my powers efficiently by making use of the 'negative' parts of humanity.     

Now that these thoughts no longer swarm my mind, I am able to give Gabriel the care and affection she deserves.     

After a few seconds, I've helped her put on the maid and tied the white ribbon attached to it in a cute way that's befitting her overall cute appearance.     

Like Aruru, I create her black stockings, a white maid headband, a pair of white gloves, and a pair of black shoes.     

Then, I help her put those on while making sure to feel her soft legs and hands plentifully. Once I'm done with everything, I hug Gabriel from behind and whisper into her ear,     

"Let's enjoy our time together from now on, alright?"     

In response to my actions, Gabriel leans her head on my shoulder and says,     

"I will be more than happy to do so."     

With the way we are positioned, I can feel her heartbeats and hear her rhythmic breaths.     

My eyes subconsciously shift to her thin lips as I feel the distance between us gradually get closer.     

Just as I am about to lose myself, Aruru's voice reaches my ears,     

"Father, is there a bigger mirror? I can't see everything in that one."     

Looking over to where she's pointing, I see a mirror station on a desk designed for usage when putting on makeup.     

I create a mirror big enough to show her whole body through and try my best to ignore the growing painful sensation in my head and chest.     

As Aruru begins to examine her whole self in the mirror, I take this chance to do what my feelings tell me to by pressing lips against Gabriel's.     

Almost as if she has been waiting for this, Gabriel directly melts into my arms as I gently knead her breast.     

This goes on for a few seconds before I stop and shift my head to look Gabriel in the eyes.     

Upon doing so, I see that Gabriel has a red hue covering her cheeks as a pleasant smile is apparent on her face.     

"I've been waiting for so long…" Gabriel mutters.     

Moving my hand to gently stroke her cheek, I whisper,     

"With patience come great rewards. Isn't that right?"     

Gabriel responds to my action and words by placing her hand on mine and saying,     

"Father is always right."     

I go in for one more kiss, however, this time it's a much more passionate one with us two tightly embracing each other and enjoying the euphoric feeling.     

After a while, we stop and turn to look at Aruru who is still gleefully examining herself in the mirror that I had created.     

Gabriel and I both laugh at her adorable antics, which seems to attract Aruru's attention as she looks at us with a slightly confused expression on her face.     

"We should head back now," I say with a smile on my face.     

"Yes, Father!" Aruru exclaims before running over and hugging my leg.     

"Ah, no!" she all of a sudden says before stepping back, bowing slightly and saying, "Yes, Master."     

Placing my hand on top of her head, I proceed to rub her hair for a few seconds before exiting the Arena.
