Strike the Blood: The 4th Primogenitor

Chapter 49: Zodiac King



Third Person PoV

"That was easy. Is that the problem you guys were having?"

Kojou asked them. They looked at him deadpan as they said, yes.

"Oh, then it's handled!"

"Unfortunately, Dad, that thing has already joined with the veins of Itogami Island. Unless you manage to destroy it in one hit, all of it, even its connection, it won't be dead."

Moegi explained, to which Kojou looked surprised. And true to her word the dragon quickly reformed from nothing.

*Roar*

"Shut up will you?"

Kojou muttered as a huge sword pierced the dragon from its head to its legs. But this time it reformed faster.

Its recovery brought along an earthquake on the man-made island.

"How much time, Asagi?"

"Around three hours."

"I see. Keep it busy for a moment."

Reina, finally free to use her familiar summoned it.

"Hasta Aurum!"

A spear made of lightning and having the same shape as Sekkarou. Yukina was more shocked as compared to the others.

"You can use vampiric powers?"

"Not all of us can, Mayumi and Reina can use the most. They Inherited the curse from you."

"I see. So that is the reason why you were confident that Sekkarou could be changed to demon type."

"Indeed I have experimented a lot with her spear so I am confident."

"So, Himeragi, what is it going to be?"

Kojou asked Yukina but didn't wait for her response. He looked at the top of the building near them.

And just like he had thought, Vatler and Sayaka were there. Seeing him looking at them the two came down.

"Yo, Kojou. Seems like you are busy with familial matters."

"Yeah, I am. Here Sayaka, hold her. By the way, the maid dress looks fabulous, keep it. We will have some uses for it."

"Wh-What?! Who's this, and just so you know, this is a punishment from my master!"

"Sure, oh, that's your future daughter."

"What?! How can this be? Who's the father, then."

"Look at her, and who do you think is the father?"

Sayaka lifted the child and then gently shook her.

"Oh? Mama!"

Mayumi said as she kissed Sayaka's cheek. Seeing the green eyes reflecting her visage, Sayaka knew that she was indeed her daughter.

"What's your name?"

"Mayumi Akatsuki!"

"That's such a good name!"

"Umm! If you guys have done the greeting any help here?"

Reina asked. Kojou looked at her then at Vatler.

"Oye, keep that lizard busy for a while. I have some familiar relationships to deal with."

Vatler looked stupefied at that but sighed and said.

"You sure, Kojou? If I fight with it, the island might sink."

Kojou then looked at him and then at the dragon and made up his mind.

He quickly caught Vatler and teleported behind the dragon and teleported with the two of them.

He then threw the two of them outside of Itogami Island, in the ocean, and then teleported back to the alley where he had found Mayumi and Keiko.

"Still here? Good!"

Screams of a vampire rang in the surroundings. Dealing with the blonde, Kojou then finally teleported back to where the others were.

"So we have some time!"

The others only sighed at that. Kojou quickly teleported all of them to Asagi's house, he didn't want to deal with Aya right now.

"This brings back memories!"

Kojou said and to his surprise, Moegi agreed.

"Indeed, I worked here a lot."

Everyone sat down, and Kojou sat alone. Asagi sat with Moegi, Reina sat with Yukina, and Sayaka sat with Mayumi on her lap.

And surprisingly, Natsuki sat beside Keiko.

"Never did I think Natsuki-chan could be a babysitter!"

"Double homework for you Akatsuki!"

"Damn!"

"So, Kojou, how much time do we have?"

"Till Vatler gets bored, around an hour I take it."

"What are we going to do now?"

"I know what I am going to do, what about the others!"

"I will stay and talk with Mayumi!"

Sayaka said quickly, Asagi and Yukina talked about something and decided they would go and handle Nagisa.

"I will go around the island with Moegi and Reina. Natsuki-chan, can you take Keiko to meet with Kanon?"

"Sure, but don't take it that you can make me babysit your spawns!"

"Ano, Kanon-san is not my mother."

Keiko said gently, everyone's head turned towards her, aside from her sisters.

"Then who? Don't tell me who I think it is?"

Asagi said with horror.

"My mother is La Folia Rihavein!"

"My life's a lie."

"Princess?"

"How can she be so gentle and kind?"

Everyone was shocked.

"Stay put you idiots, Kanon and Princess are from the same family it's no matter if she turns out like this, I will take her to Kanon."

Natsuki said and teleported. Sayaka said she would stay here. Yukina and Asagi quickly went to find Nagisa, and Kojou sent them to the academy.

"So, up for a walk?" Kojou asked Reina and Moegi.

"Yes, Kojou-kun!"

"Well, this is rare."

Kojou shook his head and walked out with the two of them.

"So what are your hobbies?"

"I like science!"

"I like fighting!"

"Can't say I didn't expect it. So anything other than that!"

"I like to play games, I am ranked in the top 5 in Satisfy!"

"I love sewing!"

"That's good!"

The trio of father and daughters walked around the city. Talking about their lives.

"Finally an empty place."

Moegi said, stretching her body.

"Empty? Itogami is sparsely populated." Kojou said.

"For now."

"I see."

Kojou was about to sit down when he jumped and pulled Reina with him. And a small blast happened where he was about to sit.

Moegi was quite a distance away from them so she was unaffected. He had shielded Reina, but her eyes were already red.

"I didn't want to deal with you today, Aya."

Kojou said looking at the branches of the tree, from which Aya appeared, he hadn't seen her before, almost like a chameleon.

"What is this? What kind of illusion are you putting on the sword shaman and that lover of yours?"

Aya said, looking at Moegi and Reina.

"I really don't want to, so prepare yourself."

"Hmph, it won't make any difference!"

But suddenly she found herself bound by the same around her. She looked at Kojou's red eyes and soon found herself back in her room.

Before she could do something, she felt something pierce the skin of her nape and then the pleasure bombarded her mind.

Before she could even let out a gasp, Kojou had teleported back to his daughters.

"You haven't patched up things with her?"

Moegi asked seeing Kojou appear back.

"Patch things up?"

"Well you two are quite the flirtatious couple, she even calls you the reason for her living."

"Well leave it at that, don't tell me much."

"Sure, but it will happen sooner or later."

"Yeah Kojou-kun, Moegi explained to me about paradox and stuff."

"Sure."

Kojou said half heartedly.

"So this is my future niece?"

"Yes and Akatsuki's spawn as well."

Natsuki explained. Keiko only smiled at that.

"Pleased to meet you, Kanon-san!"

"Same here, Keiko-chan!"

The two of them bowed at each other, seeing that they continued bowing till Natsuki interfered.

"Stop it you two, go and have a talk, I have a class to take!"

"Hai, Minamiya-sensei."

"As you say, Natsuki-sensei!"

The two albinos went hand in hand to talk about their respective worlds.

"Seriously, those two are almost the same as each other. Makes me wonder how did that chaotic gremlin of a Princess managed to raise her?"

"Nagisa-chan, don't be sad, that wasn't me."

"Really? But I saw it was you, you called me aunt!"

"Now, now Nagisa-chan, that wasn't Yukina, it was someone who looked like her."

"Is that so? Where is she now and who is she?"

"She was really your niece."

Nagisa looked at Asagi in shock and then asked.

"How?"

"She time traveled, she is Yukina and Kojou's daughter, her name is Reina. Not only her but Sayaka-san, mine and La Folia's daughters are also there."

Nagisa's mouth opened in a huge 'O' shape showing her shock.

"Quick take me to them! And way to go Yukina-chan! I knew you had it in you!"

"Sure, let's go!"

"What else?"

"Papa brought me lots of ice cream too!"

"Is that so?"

"Yes."

Sayaka was talking with Mayumi with intense fervor. And she asked a question she was dying to ask.

"Do you have any brother?"

"Yes. One little and two older!"

"I see, that's good!"

'So it's not all daughters.'

"Mama, where is Papa?"

"Let's go and find him, he should have roamed around plenty."

Sayaka lifted Mayumi in her arms, kept Koukarin on her back and went out to find Kojou.

"So I have a son."

"Indeed, he is young, the youngest actually. I can't tell you his name, but he is the cutest living being I have ever laid my eyes on."

"I see, he is Onii-san's son."

"Don't be like that. You are cute too!"

"But then why doesn't he-"

"I will stop you right here, Father likes you, and believe me when I say that the time will soon come. Let's go, the dragon is returning."

"Indeed, Akatsuki's spawn."

Nastuki suddenly appeared, surprising the two. She then took the two of them to Kojou.

"Hmm, it's gotten boring now. It was fun at first, but now it's just killing it on repeat."

Vatker said as his familiars killed the dragon for the nth time today.

"Seems like Kojou has handled his problems, so I don't need to occupy this beast time any longer."

"Sagara!"

Vatler destroyed the dragon quickly and teleported back to his ship.

The dragon again reformed, this time it shook the Itogami island. The dragon roared and then vanished.

"So you haven't met any other Primogenitors till now?"

"No. Why?"

"Can't say."

"Fair enough."

"Looks like Vatler's had enough."

"He was always an annoying prick, Mom said." Moegi commented.

"Indeed, Mother said some colorful words about him when drunk." Reina also said.

"Can't deny that. Anyways the times are up, everyone is coming."

As he said that, Natsuki came with Kanon and Keiko. Sayaka pooped up with Mayumi and Asagi, and Yukina came together with Nagisa who was beaming seeing everybody around.

"Move aside Kojou-kun, Waah! They really look alike! Sorry Reina-chan, I got angry at you."

"Are, Moegi-chan, right? You really take after Asagi-chan. Is that Keiko? Ojou-sama's daughter? She is just like a beautiful doll."

"Is that the little girl? Mayumi-chan was it? I am your aunt Nagisa, nice to meet you!"

Everyone quickly got overwhelmed by Nagisa and Kojou had to stop her by catching her.

"Calm down, they will stay here for a short time. Don't scare them like that!"

"Oh? Sorry, everyone!"

"It's fine, we are used to it."

"Yeah, Aunt is always like that!"

"Indeed, it's always a nice time meeting her."

"It's Aunt Nagisa!"

The four children replied in the order of their ages.

"So Himeragi, have you made up your mind?"

"Yes, senpai. I want both!"

"Both?" Asagi questioned.

"Well, ask them, not me."

Kojou said, shrugging.

Yukina looked at Reina and Moegi. Reina laughed while Moegi only took the broken Sekkarou from Yukina.

"I knew it would come to this, here take this it took LKO decades to make this again."

Reina said, handing a Sekkarou to Yukina, shocking everyone but Kojou.

Moegi also seemed to be prepared beforehand as she handed a newly modified Sekkarou v2 to Kojou, who quickly repaired it.

Yukina then held both of them and measured them. She found out that v2 was for heavy attacks while Sekkarou was better at fast combat.

v2 was a shade darker than normal Sekkarou, it also gave a blood lusted feeling.

"Alright, the future girls stand at one side, the present girls stand at one side."

Kojou said as he clapped. Everyone looked confused but followed his words. He then looked at them and said.

"Give your goodbyes. They will return after I vanquish the dragon."

Kojou's words shocked everyone but, at that moment Natsuki helped him.

"The idiot is correct, if they stay for a bit longer who knows what changes will happen? It's best for them to return now."

Kojou turned around and waited for the dragon to appear while the mothers gave farewell.

"Don't trouble the future me too much!" Asagi said to Moegi, who only smirked in return.

"Don't hit me like that, and don't trouble senpai!" Yukina said to Reina.

"Still calling him that?" The lookalike said in return.

"Say my best regards to everyone." Kanon as always thought about others before.

"Please convey my gratitude to my mother!" Keiko responded in the same tone.

"Don't go running around like you did with me!" Sayaka said sternly to Mayumi who smiled in return and gave a flying kiss, making her go silent.

"Everyone, it was nice to meet you!"

Nagisa said jovially and was met with equally heartwarming responses. Natsuki then looked at Kojou and said.

"You aren't going to say your goodbyes?"

"I am going to show off!" Kojou said as a dragon roar resounded and the beast appeared.

"Leo Pemptos!"

Kojou's hair changed to golden, it also became shaped like little lightning bolts. He closed his eyes which were red and began using the full power of The Lion of Gold.

The weather began to change, and the entirety of Itogami Island felt it. The clouds became darker and they began to encircle the sky above the island.

But they didn't stop there, they began to expand, covering miles around the island, and it began to pour like crazy from the periphery.

Lightning crackled and thunder resounded all over the Island. Everyone ran and took shelter, even the beasts deep within the ocean.

The dragon felt fear, but it couldn't run. It had already connected to the veins of Itogami Island, and unless the veins were destroyed it couldn't escape.

"Akatsuki, what are you doing?" Natsuki asked fiercely.

"What kind of Dad I would be if I didn't show off in front of my beloved daughters."

Kojou said and made a falling motion with his arm.

"Fall!"

The entire sky glowed golden and a bolt, larger than any in the history of mankind fell on the dragon.

And everything about it was charred out of existence. At the same time, the children began to fade and return to their time.

"I have seen bigger, Dad!"

Moegi said before she vanished completely.

"Tch!"

Kojou only clicked his tongue at that, but a smile was present on his face.

From that day onwards, the 4th Primogenitor gained a new name.

The Zodiac King.
