Chapter 280
🕑 Added 2022-11-12 11:49:50 +0000 UTCI let out a long sigh, staring at my handiwork thus far.
Holding my arms up, I let out a yawn stretching them, another content sigh escaping my lips as I realized I was almost done. How long had I been working on this? I seem to have lost track of time, but I could see the end now.
Every so often, some random person in the city would stop and stare at me and I would just wave at them.
I set up in an…..isolated part of the city, more or less, but it was in the city regardless, so there were people who came by to see what I was doing.
However, no one really interfered with me. Probably a result of my status as Yasaka’s lover, which was pretty well known at this point.
“Almost done…” I breathed out again, about to go back to work.
“What are you almost finished with, my student?”
I turned to see Scáthach walking towards me.
“Just a little project, more of a proof of concept at the moment.” I loved seeing her in different outfits. Not that I didn’t like that tight purple body suit she wore for combat, but seeing her in a tight pair of jeans and a sweater that hugged her so wonderfully was always a welcomed sight.
“Mhmm.” She hummed as she got closer. “This same project that you have sequestered yourself away in your workshop for the past two days for?” She inquired.
“…..yes?” I blinked.
She lightly poked my cheek. “Foolish student.” She huffed. “You hide yourself for so long then immediately run off to do something like this. Do you think none of us worry about you?”
“I’m a Magus, we go disappear into our workshops for weeks at a time without blinking an eye.” I countered. Hell, Rin does it often as well, which is when Artoria usually comes to spend her time with me.
“Yes, but when have you ever been a normal Magus?” It was nice, feeling her hands wrap around me from behind, peeking over my side as she rests her chin on my shoulder. “Let me see what has you preoccupied.” She held up her finger running it down the markings I made. “Leave it to a man to make such a phallic object.”
“It’s an obelisk” I retorted, giving her a light spank from behind. “Got the idea from that Ideal Master guy.”
“Hmph.” She smiled coquettishly. “Let us see. The material appears to be normal stone then? And you have inscribed many Runic Sentences, however, the one that gains my attention the most is the right right –“ She moved her finger towards a specific spot. “ –Here. An interesting string of Runes, Fehu, Thurisaz, Ehwaz, Berkana, Dagaz, Laguz……” She trailed off, as if speaking her thoughts aloud. “And you anchor it all together with a Primordial Wisdom Rune, how peculiar, my student.”
“I wanted to make it semi-intelligent with regards to its effect. An automated dispenser, if you will.”
“An ‘Automated dispenser’?”
I waived my hand, producing a notebook, handing it over to her.
She dislodged herself, cracking it open as she quietly read while I finished up my preparations.
It wasn’t difficult, just more tedious than anything. And as I mentioned to her, it was a proof of concept more than anything. I don’t doubt it would go through a few iterations before I considered it a final product.
Finishing on my end for now, I waited for a few moments, but Scáthach made no movement to stop, only flipping a page every so often.
I don’t always take the time to appreciate how beautiful she is. I could honestly just stare at her for hours on end.
And she was right, it has been a few day since I basically locked myself up to finish this project as quickly as possible.
She didn’t even make a noise of annoyance when I walked over and buried my face right between her breasts, my arms wrapping around her.
“You smell nice.”
“Don’t say strange things.” She chided with a small huff, though a little red crept up on her cheeks.
My hands found her nice round butt quickly, giving it a little squeeze. She shifted slightly but otherwise didn’t deny me, so I took that as acceptance. It was only when my fingers started to pull on the waistband of her pants that she make an adorable sound.
She slammed the notebook shut and bopped me on the head.
I chuckled looking up at her again, her faint red was a bit more flush now. I discovered pretty quickly that she gets flustered easily when it comes to affection showed in public. Doing the most lewd things in our bedroom? She wouldn’t even bat an eye. But If I try to hold her hand while people was watching? She would turn red at the thought.
“You seem to be in need of disciplining.” She pried my hands away from her jiggling rear. “…..This Scáthach will take care of you tonight once we have both finished our duties. Control yourself until then, my cute student.” She puffed up, bopping me once more. “Now, I have read through your notes, explain to me what you desire, I will aid you where I can.”
“Right.” I got back into research mode. I could grope her later when we weren’t busy. “Where do you want to start?”
“I believe I understand, you have created a Mystic Code that responds to negative intent. You have the Runic sequence to active your ‘Shield of Asgard’ and an interesting supporting sequence that designates ‘Allies’ and ‘Enemies’. However, there are several points that I am confused about.”
“Well, you figured out the gist of it.” I walked over to the Obelisk as she followed along. “Yeah, I needed to use a Primordial Wisdom Rune to help facilitate what it would pick as enemies or not, the centralize Matrix if you will. But it also supports another important aspect, which you’re probably confused about.” I held my hand out, depositing stacks upon stacks of Talismans onto the ground.
She seemed to realize my intent immediately. “I see, this makes more sense then.” She rubbed her chin. “It is an interesting idea, and I believe it holds merit. If a situation such as happened over in the East occurred here, this would be a valuable defense to have.”
“The initial stage, it casts my ‘Shield of Asgard’, like you said. I haven’t really worked out distance to power ratio yet, as I said, still a work in progress and all that. And the second aspect is that it uses these Talismans based on the situation. I made a little over a thousand while I was in my workshop. I have Healing Talismans, Shielding Talismans, Binding Talismans, and a random assortment of different offensive attacks in a similar format.”
The Healing Talismans basically work as a lesser version of the Healing Spells I picked up in Skyrim. But they were still much better than nothing.
Shielding Talismans like a lesser version of a Warding spell. Binding Talismans to seal enemies up, and a plethora of attacks as well. Everything from Lightning and other elemental attacks to other more esoteric effects.
The Runic Sentences basically choose the best one for any given circumstances. Honestly, it’s almost like a computer program with the Primordial Rune acting as a pseudo intelligence.
“The attack still weighs heavily on you?”
“….I don’t like seeing people I know be hurt.” I sighed, slumping my shoulders. “It was bad enough seeing it first hand like that, but I don’t want that to happen here if I can prevent it.”
“There is nothing wrong with your intentions, but If you are going to disappear into your workshop again, speak with us ahead of time.” She leaned over, kissing my forehead. “However, you do see the limitations, yes?”
“Yeah, I realized it already.” I rubbed the back of my neck. “It only covers a small area in proportion to the city.”
One of the reasons that the Youkai of Japan were considered a minor faction was due to their size in addition to them lacking any significant heavy hitters. Yasaka and Nurarihyon were strong, but they weren’t Godly in strength. That’s not to say they couldn’t hit above their weight class under certain circumstances, but they simply weren’t at that level. It was enough to dissuade most other forces while the bigger ones didn’t bother.
Overall, there should only be a couple million Youkai if you counted the entirety of Japan. And those who lived in Kyoto were a fraction, a large fraction, but a fraction all the same. So……several hundred thousand? There was no way this singular Obelisk could do anything significant with those numbers.
“There would need to be hundreds more scattered throughout the city to have the effect I want.” I breathed out.
“And yet you work towards it all the same.”
“I refuse to ever see her cry again.” I would see where I stood once this one was finish and how to proceed from here. “I’ll figure something out once I gather the data from this prototype.”
It would take a while, but it would be pretty good if there was a large scale invasion.
“Very well, it seems you have your mind set on it, I will not attempt to dissuade you.” Scáthach nodded in satisfaction. “Shall I make some edits to your sentences?”
“What’s wrong with my sentences?” I furrowed my brow.
“My dear student~” Scáthach giggled. “You still over think many things, simple is often more applicable in these circumstances.”
***
With every Talisman attached to the Obelisk, it was ignited with my Magical energy. A surge of power thrummed through it as everything seemed to work on the surface.
Scáthach had corrected a few of my Runic Sentences to better amplify certain concepts. We argued a little bit over certain directions, but overall, it’s in a better place than it was initially. She went off to do something or another that Yasaka needed done so I didn’t hold her up.
I was happy she checked in as she did.
Should I simulate certain scenarios to see how it reacts now? Or should I go about a different method to begin testing and data collection.
“Quite an interesting piece of magic you got there.”
I blinked, breaking from my own thoughts as I turned to see who spoke. It’s not that I was snuck up on, but there were people coming and going every so often that I basically tuned it out.
For some reason, this person was grabbing my attention more explicitly.
He wore a rather neat suit, with long black hair. He had elongated ears and some very sharp facial features.
“Thanks, I suppose.” I could tell right away that he wasn’t a Youkai and I had my suspicions on his origin. “Long way from home, aren’t you?”
“That I am.” He smiled, and despite his rather….intense features, it was a very disarming smile. He slowly walked over to a nearby brick wall, about waist high, as he brushed it off for a moment, sitting himself down. “I like to think I’m on a vacation of sorts. Even if I’m doing a bit of business while I’m at it.”
Well, he clearly was here for me for some reason. “Vacations are always good.” I eyed him suspiciously. “Though one might wonder what your intentions are, especially after another one of your kin made a mess of things last time he was here.”
“Peace.” He held his arms up. “I’m not where because of that….fool.” He let out a sigh. “Nor am I here to cause any trouble. I think you’ve guessed my identity, but shall I introduce myself anyways?”
“By all means.” I gestured for him to continue.
“I fell from the Fifth Heaven.” He stood up, straightening himself. “One of the Leaders of the Grigori. I am Kokabiel, Angel of the Stars.” He bowed a little theatrically, ten pitch black wings burst out from his back for a brief moment and a Holy Light around him intensified. Though, it only lasted for a brief moment before he returned to normal, sitting back down as if nothing happened. “And you are Wilhelm Henry Schweinorg.”
The way he smiled again made me feel uneasy for some reason.
“Would you mind sparing some time for a chat?”

Omake – Meridia learns how to send nudes.
“So…..Is anyone actually doing anything today?” I asked around the room, barely moving from my position with my head in Artoria’s lap.
“I have no plans.” Artoria shook her head. “Mayhaps – eep!” She jerked her head, ‘glaring’ at me with red cheeks as I squeezed her thigh.
“Mm, I wish to be lazy today.” Scáthach didn’t even react as she sat on the other side of the couch. “I believe we have all earned a rest.”
“Me too.” Yasaka yawned, finding Jinn’s shoulder to rest her head. “Kunou’s in class, and I have no duties today. I just wanna be lazy.”
“I’m fine with whatever.” Jinn hummed, playing with Yasaka’s tail, and it was as cute as one would think.
“I only need to go shopping, master. I wish to make dinner tonight.” Raikou also spoke up from where she sat.
The only one missing was Meridia. But that wasn’t too surprising. Maybe we should go bother her in her own realm and mess around there next time?
I know she enjoys it.
Suddenly, and simultaneous, all of our Kaleidophones suddenly buzzed. It was strange as none of us were expecting anything like this, and we all seemed to dig them out to take a look.
I opened mine up to see something I very much did not expect.
A picture of Meridia, legs spread in a very……risqué pose.
And that wasn’t the only one. There were a few dozen of them.
“Oh my….” Artoria muttered as I glanced up seeing her eyes glued to her own device.
And looking around the room, I might not be the only one that will enjoy these pictures.
“So, uh…….”
“…I may have given her the idea.” Jinn admitted. “She asked me for….advice on how to….” She sorta trailed off as she stared at her own screen. “I’m pretty sure she meant to only send this to you, Wilhelm.”
In any other situation, I would have found it adorable that Meridia was asking Jinn on help in handling certain aspects of our relationship. However, I was very much distracted by a video that was near the end of the package she sent of her…… enjoying herself.
“Ahh…..hnnnn….”
I turned to the side to see Scáthach playing the same video, but she didn’t even turn the volume down.
It didn’t take long for said Goddess to come pushing the door open either. I had briefly wondered if she realized her mistake, but she froze upon walking through the threshold, probably due to a certain sound playing in the silent room.
“Ahh~”
Meridia’s head slowly turned towards Scáthach who looked up from her phone, giving a growing grin as she made eye contact with the Goddess.
A dawn of realization hitting Meridia’s face as she visible went from confused to horrified to utterly embarrassed, and a cute red flush that followed suit.
“So, future warning, might not want to send lewd stuff to everyone.” Jinn decided to speak up.
“Kill me.” Meridia covered her face.
“Or do, I will certainly enjoy this later.” Scáthach laughed.
There was a new burst of energy, another figure walking through the threshold of the door.
“Oh hey, Izzy.” I greeted.
“Wilhelm and……Meridia.” Izzy looked at the Goddess. “I am confused….” She held up her own Kaleidophone showing some familiar pictures. “I’m……also flattered, I suppose?”
Meridia turned a brighter shade of red, seemingly unable to answer.
“Who all did you send them to?” I looked at her incredulously.
“Lets see….” Jinn spoke up again. “All of us, Izzy, Venelana….Salem, oh that’s going to turn out well. Hmm….your friend Pyrrha, Pandora and…..Rin.”
For such a powerful entity, she sure can make some cute and embarrassed sounds.

If Big G is conscious I wonder what his response to the coming events will be. Will he make Will his Holy Son, and give him authority in his sted until his return?
