Chapter 70: Vol2 Ch24 – Date Night (2)

After she basically announced to all seven of her classes about her kids, Kye let Joey stay to watch the class. Putting all the classes in one place was not typical, but she just didn’t want to have to explain everything she wanted to explain more than once, much less seven. But how did she get around the normal school schedule? She had them come after their last class of the day.

Using the aftermath of the battle, she meant to spread the word that even if someone discovers how to commit a crime within the empire, that it would not go unpunished. The students cheered when she finished the story. Rei was recovered and the bad guy’s plot was destroyed.

After the large class, Kye had other things in mind. She wanted a short reprieve from everything. Normally, a person would spend their weekend relaxing, but she had too much work to catch up on after the battle. And what little free time she had over the weekend was spent with the kids.

“Hey, wanna go for a date night?” Kye whispered to Alethea when they returned to their residence in the Arslade palace. Alethea beamed and hugged her. “Can I take that as a yes?”

“Of course!” The pink-haired girl was all smiles. “I love you, Shi-chan. Where do you want to go?”

“Is there any place you’d like to go? I have a few places in mind if not.”

“Hmm...” Alethea held her hand to her chin and made the stereotypical “thinking” face. “Somewhere new. I wanna see a planet I haven’t been to yet.”

Kye swiped a hand around in the air and pulled up a few of the ideas she was considering. “So, one place is-”

“Elea!” she said with a slight cheer. “I haven’t been there, other than that one meeting room and your residence in the church. That planet is civilized, right?”

“Yeah, they’ve got a bunch of places.” Kye sent a picture to her over the NeuraPhone. “What do you think of this place?”

Alethea opened the picture and saw a large tree with houses and other places built right on it, all up and down the trunk. “Oh, that’s scenic.”

“That’s a nation of cat people. I haven’t eaten there before, since I haven’t really been to Elea much yet myself, but both the church folks and the vampires I met told me I should go eat there at least once.” Kye smiled while making pretend cat ears with her hands. “Whadaya think?”

Alethea smiled. “That sounds great! Let’s go!”

An hour later, Alethea stepped out of her private room in their residence wearing a beautiful, long white dress that conformed to her figure well. Kye whistled and eyed her partner up and down. “When did you get that dress? You look great!”

She giggled. “I thought you’d be wearing a dress, too.”

Kye was wearing a tailored suit with a black shirt, black pants, white jacket, and a black ribbon for her ponytail. “Lookin’ sharp, eh?” She grinned. “We make a good match!”

“Let’s go show everyone!”

Kye nodded and held out her arm, intending to escort Alethea like the princess she was. Doran, Michelle, and the kids were all waiting in the common room. They were greeted by a slew of compliments.

“Lookin’ good!” Michelle cheered.

Doran whistled. “Hot!”

“Mommy is pretty!” Rei added.

“Which one?” Adriel asked.

“Both mommies!”

“Well, I’m partial to the one in the dress,” Kaede said with a shrug.

“You’re just playing favorites!” Joey argued.

“I like both moms,” Anna said.

“Mhm, same!” Ariel agreed.

Kye smiled at Doran and Michelle apologetically. “Are you two sure you’ll be fine with all six of them?”

Doran laughed. “Yeah, we’ll be fine! We’re gonna play some games. It’ll be great. You two go have a good time.”

“Yeah, have fun!” Anna cheered.

“Mhm, yeah!” Ariel added.

“I’ll keep my siblings in check,” Adriel said with his arms crossed.

Kye smiled. Oh my goddess, these kids are so cute!

“See? We’ll be fiiiiine,” Michelle exaggerated with a giggle.

“Go, momma!” Joey said as she ran over and hugged both of her date-bound parents.

“I’ll allow it just this once!” Kaede said, folding her arms and glaring at Kye. “You better show her a good time! Or you’ll answer to me!”

Kye smiled at the kids. “I promise!”

After a lengthy goodbye, Kye and Alethea headed for the door to the Void Palace. They met Liliana and Aliana on the other said. They were waiting there for them since they’d gotten into the habit of changing realms via the Void. Kye filled them in on their date and started toward the door to Realm 7. Before she could open the door, Rei popped out of the door to Realm 2.

“Mommy!” She ran over to Kye and jumped into her arms.

“Yes, sweetie?”

“I want to talk when you get back. Just the three of us.”

“The three of us?” Kye raised an eyebrow. “Which three?”

She pointed at Alethea. “Us and her.”

“Okay, what do you want to talk about?”

Rei shook her head. “After your date!”

Kye smile warmly and patted the girl’s head. “Okay, sweetie. Anything you want. Just us three when we get back, I promise.”

“I promise, too!” Alethea added. She bent down and held her arms out for Rei, who quickly switched parents. “I love you, sweetie. I love you so much.” Kye hugged them from behind Rei, and the three shared a long, loving embrace.

When they finally let her down, Rei grabbed Kye’s left hand and Alethea’s right hand. “Thank you for saving me! I feel so lucky to have a mom and d-” she stopped, not wanting to call Alethea by a male moniker. “I have two moms!”

Alethea patted her head. “It’s okay if you want to call me dad. I know it’s a little weird having more than one mom.”

Rei shook her head. “No! Pink-haired mom is mom! Not dad! I have three moms!”

Kye patted her head next. “I’m glad you’re including Michelle.”

Rei nodded. “Yeah! Okay, moms, go have a good time! And will you bring me a takeout box?”

Alethea giggled and Kye held back a chuckle and said, “Okay, sweetie, but we’ll have to bring back something for everyone, okay? It won’t be fair if we only bring some for you.”

“That’s okay! I want to eat with everyone, too!”

Kye and Alethea exchanged smiles and stood up. “Okay, sweetie, we’re off! Love you!”

“Love you!” Alethea echoed.

“Bye-bye!” Rei waved with both hands. She went back through the door to Realm 2 first, knowing that didn’t want her to be left alone in the Void Palace. Liliana and Aliana were accompanying the couple, so nobody was staying in the palace.

“That girl is so sweet,” Alethea said, trying but failing to suppress her fangirl face. “I love her so much!”

Kye smirked. “Your fangirl is showing, heh.”

“Oh hush, don’t even try to pretend you don’t fangirl over our kids. You’re just better at hiding it than me.”

Kye shrugged. “Guilty as charged.”

When they entered Kye’s residence in the church through the Void door, they were greeted by a housekeeper. They exchanged quick hellos and Kye asked where Luma was. The housekeeper directed them to the training grounds behind the cathedral.

“Hey, Luma!” Kye hollered when they arrived. She was busy sparring with one of the knights, one Kye recognized.

“Oh, Kye. Hey! One sec!”

The knight she was sparring with was the one Kye roughed up that night she saved Aisha. Kye smirked as she watched Luma beat him.

“Logan, keep up your training. You have a lot of mana, but your technique needs work if you’re aiming to become a saint.”

“Thank you, Sword Saint. I shall train harder.”

“Good!” Luma left the knights to their training and greeted Kye and company. “What’s up? You two are dressed nice. Going out?”

“Yeah, my lovely Shi-chan wanted to take me out to eat!” Alethea answered. She held onto Kye’s arm and smiled.

“I see. Where’re ya going?”

“The Tall Tree,” Kye said.

“Oh, that’s a great place! Good choice. The food is to die for!” Luma smiled. “But don’t die for it!”

“Heh. Alright, we’re heading out. See you later.”

“Bye!”

“Unlimited Teleport.” Kye transported the group to the Tall Tree. They appeared in the middle of a courtyard in front of the tree, earning some ooh’s and aah’s from the locals.

Cat people are cute. Hehe.

With Alethea holding onto her arm, Kye led her in and they met with the man behind the front desk. “Hi, I’m Kye Akari and this is my wife, Alethea Atlantis. We’re-”

“Oh, my!” The cat-eared man said. “We of the Tall Tree have been awaiting the day when you visit us. What an honor!”

A cat girl in a suit nearby overheard and joined in, “Yes, welcome! May I serve you today, my lady?”

“That depends on your definition.”

“I am a hostess with the Tall Tree Resturant. I was just on break and was about to head back up.”

“Oh, perfect.” Kye smiled and glanced at Alethea.

“Sure!”

Kye nodded at the hostess. “Okay then. We’re here on a date and the restaurant is our destination. We’d be happy to have you host us.”

“Wonderful! If you’ll follow me, I’ll take you straight there!”

Kye agreed. “Sounds good.”

“Miss Lestia, regarding their bill, it’s all covered,” the cat man said.

The hostess turned back, confused. “It’s covered?”

“Yes. Lady Akari is an acquaintance of both Queen Akasha Akaishi and Sword Saint Luma Caliburn, and other senior clergy. The Akaishi Clan and Church of Elysium have both sent missives regarding Lady Akari with instructions to bill them in her place for anything she wants.”

“Oh wow, that’s amazing.” Lestia the hostess beamed at Kye and Alethea. “You must be super important for world leaders to cover your costs like that.”

Kye averted her eyes. “Would you believe I met them all by accident? I kinda beat up one of the church’s knights to save the Akaishi Princess. Turns out, the church wasn’t mad, and we talked it out and... stuff.” She shrugged.

“I see. That’s certainly a strange way to meet people, but if it works, then it works.” Lestia smiled and gestured at them to follow her. “Ready?”
