Alex's workshop...
"Ha! Finally done!" Alex grinned as he looked at the piece of black cloth in front of him, "What do you think Jude?"
Judecca, who was sitting on a couch reading a book immediately looked up to her master and glanced at the cloth on his hands.
"Its not as good as your Magical Artifacts master, but if you do enchant it with magic then it would probably be one of your greatest creation."
Alex smirked, "Yup, but I'm planning on just making it stay like this. There's no need to complicate this with magic. Besides, it's already indestructible, and can even change its shape!"
Judecca stared at her master before closing her book, "Nothing is indestructible master."
The demon king scoffed, "For you perhaps, with "Absolute Severance" you can even cut down a concept! But for others this is indestructible!"
Still, Judecca did not back down, "Nothing is indestructible."
Alex shot her a look, a little surprised that she really intent on not backing down in this one, so he smiled, "For you, but can others destroy matter? Molecules?"
Judecca frowned, "Well, they can change the state in which they exist."
He smirked, "But what if the state in which they exist is unstable? Meaning the molecular bond would always be out of phase. Not relating to electromagnetic bounds of opposing forces, which would mean..."
Judecca's eyes widened slightly as she finally understood just what kind of ridiculous thing her master did, "...that the current matter in question would never be damaged in any way, maintaining its structure. An unstable molecular fabric. Master, you made that without magic?"
"Hehe," Alex chuckled with a smug look, "That is the power of science! There's no magic mumbo jumbo involved! Just science!"
"Hmm, as expected of master, so impressive." Said Judecca, looking as stoic as ever while clapping her hands.
It was at that moment that the door of Alex's workshop was opened, as the figure of a pretty redhead who now started to show signs of "maturity" was revealed.
"Jude," Emi nodded at Judecca who also nodded back, Emi then turned towards Alex and showed him a white envelope, "Alex, you are invited to join the summit of the annual meeting of the Hexagram which will be held in three days. They also hinted that they want you, and your group to be a part of them. Though, they also wanted to know what can you offer to be of benefit for the country."
Alex frowned, "Benefit? They're the one who wanted me join them and they wanted me give them some benefit? No way, they can beg someone else for all I care. I won't be joining."
The only reason why he wanted to be part of Hexagram is for the heck of it. Also because they can have their own territory where they are the rules, even the government will just turn a blind eye in whatever they do with it, as long as it doesn't concern the safety of the country.
But with these conditions in joining the Hexagram, then forget it. He's got an entire world, he doesn't care about a territory in Japan.
"I knew you'd say that," Emi sighed, "But every member of Hexagram actually has at least one thing that benefits the country. Like Ashigaru who deals with the internal affairs of the country, or how the Tenko being the main source of Talismans, you at least should contribute even a little."
Alex frowned, but nodded. 'How about I make a dungeon? Then an Adventurer Guild of sorts? I can alter the magic stones from the monsters to be able to recover spirit energy and act like a power source, or a battery. Then, slowly change the currency of the supernatural side to that of the magic stones, with that I will have some control over the economy on the supernatural side.'
Emi raised an eyebrow as she looked at him, "...You're having that look again. The one that just says your planning something devious."
Alex smirked, "Maybe? Just a little?"
Emi just rolled her eyes before looking at the red cloth on Alex's hands, she can't feel a trace of magic on it so she just regarded it as an ordinary piece of cloth.
Alex noticed her looking at his newest creation and smiled, "Want one? This might be my greatest inventions yet. There's no magic involved. Just science. Though you can use magic to change its shape."
"Is that so?" Emi raised an eyebrow as Alex handed her the piece of cloth, "...It looks nothing special though. But I guess you can't judge a book by its cover."
She observed the cloth for a few moments before putting it inside her storage ring. "I'll be heading to the hot spring with the girls, I'll wear it later."
Alex nodded, "By the way, where's Alice?"
"With Hanzo."
Alex paused. With Hanzo? Not that he he's looking down at his general but Lucifer really isn't someone of a good influence to his daughter
Ironic really.
"Can you tell Nonko, and Tier about this? I wanted to gather my Seven Generals and introduce them during the Summit."
"No problem." Emi nodded before leaving the workshop, heading straight towards the hot springs.
--------------
Lucifer can be seen playing a game on his laptop in the Inn's Kitchen. He was sitting at the corner, since he already kind of got used to it.
He blamed Emi. Not that he'll tell her that. That woman is scary! Besides, she's the partner of his King and the person he leeches off to.
He paused when he felt a tug on his shirt. His eyes moved to his side, where the cute little Sephira was looking at him.
"Yes princess?"
"I wanna go to the sea!"
He blinks. Sea huh? No way no how is he going to return to that place. Its hot, and loud, and most of all, it's out in the sun!
All things he hated, in one place! That's big NO NO for him! That last one is an exception since they needed money but no way is he going back there again!
Still, he was curious why Alice wanted to go back there.
"...Why do you want to go back in that godforsaken place princess? There's nothing interesting there, and you might even get sunburn. It's more fun staying inside the house."
"I wanna see baby shark." Alice pouted, staring at Lucifer with an almost begging look.
Baby shark? Lucifer immediately thought of that great white shark that Alex caught. Its still alive? He was pretty sure that Emi would've already pulverized it.
He sighed.
"You need to ask for your parents' permission first, princess. Your Papa might give me a pretty nasty wallop for taking you to other places without asking him first."
Alice blinks her eyes. Putting a finger on her chin, she looked up at the ceiling and gave a thoughtful look.
Lucifer would be going back to heaven if he said he didn't find that cute.
After a few moments, the little girl shook her head and just gave a grin.
"No need! Lesh go Looshifer! I wanna see baby shark now!"
Lucifer sighed. Curse Emi for leaving this adorable bundle of cuteness to him. He won't get to play peacefully since the princess' will is always the top priority.
"But your papa will get mad at me, do you want to see me get buried six feet under?"
Alice pouted, "...No. But papa wun' get mad!"
"At you," he clarified, "he won't get mad at you. But me? He won't hesitate sending to the sun. So if you want to go, let's go ask for their permission first."
"Papa is busy, and Mama is in bath!" She whined, "I wanna go now pwease? Papa listens to me! And mama listens to papa!"
Lucifer wanted to argue. But couldn't find fault at the little girl's logic. Indeed, if Alice asks for it then Alex would turn the world upsidedown to get it down.
Emi would just sigh and express her dissatisfaction for spoiling their daughter while helping Alex. Oh how the Hero has fallen.
Lucifer actually finds it a bit scary that this little bundle of cuteness could probably end the world with just a word.
So he sighed, "Fine."
He closed his game before turning off his laptop and closing it, placing it inside his storage ring.
"Yay!" Alice smiled widely as she raised her arms, an action that Lucifer understood as her wanting him to pick her up.
"Up you go." Lucifer smiled and carried her on his arms.
"Let's go."
