A Cliché Multiverse Story

Asahi took the Seraph around the world. He took a brief trip to Kyoto, only to find a war ongoing. It was apparently the Genkō War that saw the newly crowned Emperor Go-Daigo trying to remove the Kamakura Shogunate from power. One of the oddest things about this war was the identity of Kamakura Shogunate's founder. He was the descendant of Minamoto no Yorimitsu, better known as Mama Raiko of Nasuverse.

'I'm sure there is no Mama Raiko in this world.'

The trio flew throughout the world, watching the ancient cities and their rising civilization from the sky. Gabriel stayed away from human contact, fearing that she would fall. As much as she loved humans, she couldn't disappoint her father.

The trio ended up staying on the beach for the day. Gabriel sprawled on the sand, grinning in the warmth of the sun. She rolled around and traced Asahi's face in the sand.

"That's my husband." Gabriel giggled at her masterpiece. "We should play something."

Shizuka took off her clothes, leaving herself in undergarments. She laid comfortably on a blanket. "I'll tan myself here." She stretched a lotion bottle towards Asahi. "Aa-kun?"

Even though he saw her naked almost every day, her charm still raised his heartbeat.

Gabriel concealed her wings before she tossed her clothes and laid beside Shizuka. Gone was the thought of playing. Gabriel became fixated on acting like Asahi's wife.

The innocent Seraph raised Asahi's blood flow with her not-so-not-so-innocent body.

'What was God thinking when creating her?'

He tried not to touch Gabriel in any lewd way possible. He wasn't worried about her fall, just the aftermath of it. God might annul their marriage if Gabriel fell. The old man from the myths had become his family, and if possible he wanted to avoid any conflict.

His gentle touch was still exciting to a maiden like Gabriel. She squirmed around, giggling as if his hands tickled her. A few headpats tamed Gabriel into submission. As he patted her, numerous hearts appeared and disappeared around her. Her affection numbers rose faster than everyone except for Aimi.

'She might murder someone for headpats…'

After having her share of headpats, Gabriel pleaded to apply lotion on his body. Asahi denied her at first, knowing the effects his body would have on her.

"I, am I unfit for a small task like that?" Gabriel rubbed her eyes. "Then I'm unfit to be your wife…"

Asahi gave up under teary eyes. Taking off his shirt, he helped himself beside Shizuka. His sister chuckled and threw her arm over him.

"She is more demanding than Astraea."

Asahi shook his head. "Her irresponsible behavior makes her endearing. She'll learn things at her pace."

Fortunately, the Seraph was diligent in her work. Asahi's small talk also kept her mind from thinking about his body.

After hours of sunbathing, Gabriel got bored and requested something fun. Asahi created a volleyball court and a ball that could endure the punishment from a Seraph-level angel. Some physical activity kept her curiosity in check, though Asahi suffered as a result.

'The bouncing balls…'

The trio enjoyed the sight of the sunset. The starry sky that followed was equally beautiful, if not more. Gabriel reached out to the sky, her wings spreading behind her back.

"Asahi, can I touch those?"

"No, but." Asahi took the ball and enchanted it. Consuming some mental strength, the ball became a miniature version of the star glittering in the sky.

Gabriel immediately reached for the miniature star, but it flew away and revolved around her. She also whirled on her feet, flailing her arms around. Asahi and Shizuka laughed. The Seraph tried even harder to catch the star, but Asahi's telekinesis one-upped her at every turn.

Gabriel plopped on the ground and folded her arms on her chest. Her pouty cheeks and glare showed her discontent.

"Geez, you're such a kid."

"I'm your wife!"

Asahi tossed the star at her, which she caught and smiled brightly.

"Sparkly."

Asahi sat beside her and rubbed her head. "Did you enjoy our date?"

"Absolutely! The best day of my life." Gabriel turned to Shizuka. "I made a new friend today and played lots with my husband."

Asahi hugged Gabriel. "Let's do it every week."

He couldn't find the time to take her out every day like this. Freeing a day from his schedule was the least he could do for her.

'I can bring others too.'

It was a win-win situation either way.

After a few more minutes of cuddling, Asahi returned Gabriel to her room in Heaven. Just when Asahi was about to leave, God called him to his room.

The old man had a solemn look as he gestured to Asahi to sit. "I assume everything went fine."

Asahi nodded. "What's the matter? You look like you're about to murder someone."

"Are you from Japan?"

"Yes, indeed."

"You must know about Youkai's existence then?" God put a fox statue on the table. "Being like kitsune and kappa are real, not figments of human imagination. They live in a secluded dimension, away from human civilization."

Asahi frowned, finding God's roundabout way of telling things annoying. "I know that. Did something happen there?"

God scratched the back of his head. "Last time, I couldn't find you anywhere in Japan… then I ordered Michael to find your home."

He flew over the entire land of Japan multiple times in search of one person. Even so, he returned to Heaven empty-handed, frustrated.

Asahi grinned. "Stalking me now, are you?"

"No…" He gave a weak excuse that convinced no one. "Michael delegated the task to the angels and churches. They all set out to the eastern nation to find your whereabouts. They didn't find your home but a more troubling matter."

"The civil war you mean?"

God shook his head. "Devils. We discovered traces of demonic power in humans. Over a hundred of them."

Asahi leaned back with a frown. "Humans with demonic power? Reincarnated devils?"

Even if Ajuka made Evil Pieces this early, he wouldn't let the reincarnated devils roam the world. He wasn't the type who would plan to create an army of devils. His power alone put him at the top of the Underworld. What use would an army of weaklings be to him?

'What are devils doing when there is a fire under their asses?'

The civil war was already underway with Lilith's voice. It made zero sense for the Devil Kings to sow discord right now. The culprit had to be someone from the surviving Devil Pillars and the Extra Demons.

'Who is it?'

Asahi wasn't interested in saving Japan from wars or becoming its ruler. His loyalty lay in himself and his close ones. The unusual actions of devils, on the other hand, caught his interest. The fact that it was related to the Youkai Faction made the mystery more tempting.

"You grasped something," God said. "Heaven doesn't have a good relationship with Japanese deities or Youkai. I was thinking of setting up a meeting with Youkai. Either you or Michael can act as my proxy."

"Would you mind if I investigate it first?"

"I knew you would do it." God smiled. "A man can't betray the soil he was born in."

"I don't give a fuck about the people in my country," Asahi responded with a toothy grin. "Give me just one week."

God forgot that his successor wasn't the 'good guy' type who wanted to save people. Neither did God want Asahi to be one. He had already burned most of his lifeforce to seal the Beast of Calamity.. Now, the most he could do was light the candle for those who genuinely wanted to be 'saved.'
