CLOSING ISSUES

After meticulously observing each and every one of his girls and complimenting them to no end, Sol decided to stand up and walk around the grandiose beach, observing the state of the other participants.

Currently, He had an ardent wish to mingle and have a slight conversation with people he didn't really have the occasion to have much interaction with during all of his stay in the dragon realm.

Since he would soon leave this realm and didn't know when he would be able to come back and interact with his acquaintances of this realm, it was necessary to at least have some sort of short discussion with some of them if not all of them.

In the corner of his eyes, he could see Nent and Nephthys talking with each other, laughing and having a good time overall, while Skuld and Nefertiti were playing around in the Sea. Skuld seemed especially close to Nefertiti these days which made him smile from the relief he felt.

He was happy to see that Skuld was in the process of making a friend.

At least he hoped they were becoming friends.

Skuld was a very problematic case among his haremmates due to the nature of her existence. The very nature of Chaos was to be against Order and there was no two ways about it. Most of his girls would hate her instinctively, and the same was the case for her. With these troubling circumstances, her being able to get close to someone among the haremmates was a godsend for him.

The same was the case for Nefertiti. Being the oddball of the group, he was worried that he wouldn't be able to get along with his girls. It was reassuring now that the girls he was most worried about had now confided in each other and had formed a bond that could support each other.

Speaking of Nefertiti, Sol was reminded of the talk they had about the enlightenment she had recently gained during the mingling session of the girls.

Nefertiti had very briefly informed him about the path she was shown through the enlightenment, a path of immense power through servitude and faith, but they really needed to speak more in depth about the whole thing later when they had more time on their hands.

Now, it was time for each of them to have fun and relax their strained minds. Having a serious conversation in this atmosphere would probably ruin the relaxing mood that had settled among them, and he would never want that.

However, his mind was a bit troubled with the nature of her powers, so he couldn't help but want to talk with her as soon as possible even though he knew that decision to be unwise. Well, this was a power that was once wielded by Micheal. 'The Michael'. The greatest and most powerful divine beast after Lucifer, and one of the strongest beings to ever exist. Knowing that Nefertiti had awoken to such an earth shattering power was deeply flabbergasting to him.

It seemed that he would have to visit the kingdom of angels later on after returning back to the mortal realm. Piles after piles of events stacked up in his to-do-list after returning back home. He was tired just thinking of the work he needed to conduct after the expiration of his current trip. So, he decided to just not think about it at all and focus on the task at hand.

While the party was going on, both Fafnir and Kaiser were staring at the BBQ as if it was the most alien thing they had ever seen in the entirety of their lives.

The houses in this realm all functioned through the use of magic stones, a powerful battery of sorts, that could be easily charged by simply filling it up by Mana that they could provide by themselves.

Recharging the different facilities was in fact a job assigned to the weakest of dragons or other species who weren't interested in simply staying idle but did not have the strength to go and explore the Cosmos like the others.

They would regularly recharge the main facility which would then distribute the accumulated energy through all the households that paid for the subscription.

This was another simple way Tiamat made money off the residents of her realm. Making them pay for doing something they could have easily done by themselves if they just put on the time and effort behind it.

Either way, the level of technology in the dragon realm was quite developed. So much so that both Kaiser and Fafnir, despite the power they wielded, could do nothing but bow in helplessness in front of this barbarous way.

"Pfff! Hahahaha! What's going on, brother? Didn't you say that you will show me the dignity of the second eldest. Hehe. Go on, my eyes are wide open. Show me!"

Fafnir blushed so much his face became nearly as red as his flaming red hair.

'Why do I always end up bragging so much?'

He couldn't help but scratch his head and give an awkward smile to his sibling.

Looking at him like this, it was impossible to imagine that this was the great and vaillant general who made sure his soldiers faced the least amount of casualties in the war.

"Perhaps I may be of assistance?"

Welsh, Fafnir, and Kaiser turned towards the approaching Sol, smiling as he observed their bantering. They had felt him slowly approaching but did not think he would stop here.

After all, the relationship between them was nearly non-existent, to say the least. They had never really taken the time to talk and know each other on a deeper level apart from the usual pleasantries.

Thinking like this, Fafnir swallowed his pride and nodded, "*Ahem* I would be thankful if you could help."

Kaiser opened his mouth to protest, but in the end he simply sighed.

"Please."

Sol smiled and approached the grill before expertly working on it, operating the machine with a skilled hand.

He would have never thought that his experience as a human on earth would be used on this occasion, and that too to operate a grill…

"Ohhh. How marvelous! You are truly skilled."

It was also pretty embarrassing to be praised for something like that. Even more so since he could feel that Fafnir was actually being sincere in his endless compliments.

"Tch. I guess my fun ended."

Welsh scowled in a bad mood. Teasing Fafnir was one of her small pleasures in life.

"So, what brings you here? Generally you play around with Big sis, right?"

'Well, I do really play around with her. Just not the way you must be expecting.'

It was clear that on the dragon's side, no one except Tiamat knew about Sol's true relationship with Kiyohime.

He was quite surprised since they should have been able to smell his scent entwined with her. But it seemed that as a warrior specialized in hunting, Kiyohime knew how to get rid of such traces.

Sol didn't particularly mind. He knew that Kiyohime wasn't ashamed of their relationship. Just generally reserved and still had no idea what their relationship was exactly.

Still, if there was one true thing in Welsh's speech, it was that he never really tried to come close to the other dragons.

"I am not trying to find excuses but just a few days after I entered this realm, I was thrown into Tartarus. Then we had the tournament and finally the war. There wasn't exactly enough time to socialize with you all."

The other three could only bitterly smile. It was incredible how so many events happened one after another just after Sol came.

They once again understood why Blesseds were sometimes considered as the scourge of all realms.

Wherever they were, events would spiral out of control and the one taking the fallout were generally other people while the Blessed would walk out unscathed and become even stronger.

"By the way, what kind of meat is this?"

Sol looked down at the meat of unknown origin.

"A special type of cow that grows by absorbing Mana."

'Huh…'

Sol looked down, feeling pretty conflicted. He had never really thought about it but, was it cannibalism if a cow beastman ate a cow?

He knew that Milia was vegetarian. But mostly because she said her milk would turn bad if she ate meat.

'I am really having weird thoughts now.'

He was missing his precious girl back home. It seemed that he needed to prepare some gifts for them.

'At least I am sure Setsuna and Nuwa will like this.'

Like this, the discussion between them slowly became more enjoyable.

There were no profound or important topics. In fact the discussion was pretty meaningless.

But it was this kind of meaningless conversation that helped create sturdy bonds between people.

Sol promised himself that on his next visit, he would spend more time with them and try to understand more about them.

They would become his greatest allies in the future, after all, and they were the ones who truly had a say in this world.

When the discussion began to tether off, Welsh elbowed Fafnir gently,

"*Ahem* Well, we need to go meet with someone. We will come back in a few minutes."

"Okay. But I swear if you guys flee I will also leave."

They chuckled as they left, leaving Kaiser and Sol alone.

The atmosphere became pretty awkward between the two.

The first time they had seen each other was not particularly the best memory…

The second time it was during the tournament where Sol ended up beating Kaiser into unconsciousness.

This would be the third time now and he wondered how it would go.

"I apologize for my previous misconducts."

Kaiser started with an apology.

'Well, I certainly didn't expect this discussion to begin like this.'

(AN: Been neglecting many side characters. Will bring a closure fast to them.)

Just wanted to say that I will take a break until Monday. Nothing big.
