Eternal Saṃsāra: The Wanderer of Worlds

Chapter 25: Life Goes On

Note - Sad, not reaching the goals for the past few days. We are at 485 right now. Here is another quick-goal 60 minutes goal since I am feeling generous. Instead of the 300 goal yesterday, it's 215 today. For reference, we reached 175 yesterday in 60 mins.

So if we reach 700 (215+485) stones under 60 mins, I'll post another chapter right away. Good luck!

Two sofas faced one another with a table between them, where tea cups rested. I and Ruby sat on one, while Tsubasa and Mem occupied the other. We chatted about light things as we sipped tea. 

"Hey, did anyone notice that we missed school?" Ruby suddenly pointed out, and I did notice. "Tomorrow is Sunday, too."

So it was a two-day holiday. "It's fine, we need some time to get used to the changes. Especially Tsubasa. Oh and, we should call our family. I think they contacted the police by now."

Tsubasa shook her head, taking a sip from her tea. "I doubt it. My… mother seems to have texted them last night, telling them that we're crashing at Mem-Cho's place. We sent a selfie together, where she used a spell to turn my hair black for that moment, so they shouldn't be worrying."

We have given Ruby and Mem-Cho a brief about Tsubasa's situation. Not everything, but just the bit that she was a super hybrid existence, 25% human, 25% Vampire, 25% Divine Beast and 125% Yokai. She was 200% in total, yes, because she was two people in one. The other person inside her just happened to be her mother; the usual stuff.

"I see," I couldn't help but be impressed by that Catwoman at this point. "Your mother is great, not gonna lie. She's kinda weird. A bit quirky, oh and a slut too. But she is very reliable."

"Oh my," suddenly, Tsubasa's tone took a turn as her brown eyes became golden. She licked her lips and smirked at me. "It can't be that Aqua-kun is building a crush on the mother of the same girl he's been ignoring until now? You're going to hurt her at this point, boy."

Black Hanekawa grew comfortable enough with me that she returned to her usual way of speech, rather than the bootlicking she was doing after I had pressed my authority on her.

"Why are you taking over her without her permission?" I looked at her with a frown, and she scoffed.

"Who said I didn't ask for her permission? Well, I didn't, but come on, that's up to us. We will be making a deal in our heads about this situation. As it is us who are sharing a body, can you not meddle and let the two of us talk it out?" She said, looking at me with casual eyes. 

Sadly for her, I would meddle if Tsubasa asked, but I decided to just shrug and nod for now. Suddenly, she walked over to me, and her eyes met with Ruby's for a moment which made her smile wider. She ignored my twin and sat down on my lap, putting her arms around my neck. 

"Mhm forget that for now. Instead, I have a favor to ask. As you know, my daughter awakened her vampire blood. The thing is, she needs to have her first feast soon, otherwise she will keep growing hornier. That's why she was so heated this morning, you know?"

Oh wait, that's true. I should have kept that in mind, being a past vampire myself. In my defense, I didn't use that racial side much, since it was the same life in which I became the Sorcerer of Eternity. Time Magic was much more interesting to me than being a blood-sucking vampire, but I appreciated it since without being a vampire, I wouldn't have survived the Time Loop I got stuck in back then. That's what inspired me to learn Time Magic, to begin with. So yes, one of my greatest achievements, to become the Sorcerer of Eternity, came from me being a vampire. Sweet old days – still gives chills when I recall the loop though.

Black Hanekawa looked at me with a glint in her eyes as she spoke, "So, I wonder if you have any plans to get me some blood? Fresh. And ideally magical, too."

"Quit playing," I tilted my head to the side to give her a show of my neck. "You can have my blood. Be careful not to suck too much, you might get Enthralled."

She scoffed, thinking it was a joke, but I was quite serious. She will know if she actually went through it. I wouldn't have let any vampire suck my blood, but since it was Tsubasa, I could make an exception.

The woman widened her mouth, her fangs glowing, as she leaned down and bit me on my exposed neck. I didn't as much as let out a whimper as I allowed her to suck; I would have complained about why she was doing it and not Tsubasa, but I could guess that my old friend was too hesitant to do this herself.

My hand wrapped around her back, my fingers deciding to run down her spine, pulling her towards me as her spine curved and her chest pressed against mine. She moaned at that, even as rich blood and Qi rushed into her mouth, and she hugged me tightly.

"R-ruby, don't look!" Mem-Cho yelled as she rushed over to our side and put her hands over Ruby's wide eyes. She'd seen too much today.

As if encouraged now that Ruby wasn't seeing this, my hands ran down to Black Hanekawa's butt, squeezing down as her body trembled. I spanked her out of some odd instincts, making her moan further. 

Vampire's suckcation didn't hurt, it rather had an aphrodisiac effect on people, so I had a raging boner that poked her from under. Her own neck was right near my face, and although I managed to hold back the urge for a long time, the feeling was too good to hold back anymore. I bit down on her neck, though my lack of fangs meant I didn't draw blood, it did make her whimper like a little bitch.

Minutes passed, and I felt a little cold on my body. She was sucking too much; she wasn't heeding my advice.

I channeled Storm Qi through my teeth that bit down on her, and she flinched back, feeling her teeth and looking at me with a panting face.

"W-what was that for?!" She yelled, angry and impatient to continue sucking.

I rubbed the wound on my neck that was beginning to hurt now. "Shut the fuck up, I told you to not suck too much. I understand my blood must be irresistible, but I don't want my friend to become enslaved to me."

I couldn't help but growl at her. My soul was special, that's how it held the authority of a White Tiger. Likewise, despite not being a vampire in this life, my soul, and by turn my Qi, should have vampire properties if someone looked deep enough. Since she wasn't just sucking my blood but my Qi too, she could potentially endanger herself by enthralling herself to me. After all, when a lesser vampire drank the blood of a greater vampire without killing them first, they'll become slaves to the greater one. 

And indeed I was a greater vampire to her, as I was a God. My 5th life, my longest life until then, was the life where I achieved divinity for the first time, effectively turning myself into a Deity of Time and Blood. With the lack of faith bullshit.

The woman growled, before pouting. "You are such a dirty little boy. Giving me such a taste only to tell me I can't drink as much as I want. Wanna fuck?"

"Have some shame and get off me," Maybe I shouldn't have spanked her as I said that because she made a moan while grinning.

"Boy, you have no idea how much I want to tie you up and return all of these spanks tenfold. Maybe I should do it? I'm stronger than you anyway, maybe you'll learn your place under my wet cunt after I'm done with you." She said as I grew annoyed.

I almost brought forth the White Tiger Icon to teach her a lesson, but I knew it wasn't worth it. I really needed to reach Underlord. At least, just the scowl on my face made her back off, clicking her tongue.

"No fun, both you and my daughter. How I gave birth to such a goodie-two-shoes is beyond me." She said, and I got the feeling that Tsubasa wasn't being very friendly in her head after seeing her flirt with me like this. I watched as her golden eyes returned to normal and she blinked, looking at me for a moment before looking away, blushing.

"W-we should leave now, Aqua." She said and I agreed. I turned to my side, where Mem-Cho finally removed her hand from on top of Ruby. 

"Mem, get ready." I stood up, and the devil girl turned to me in surprise. "I think you should come meet our parents."

"...Aqua, you do know you give me too many mixed signals, right?" She said, and I wondered what she was talking about. 

* * *

Mem-Cho had a car of herself. She had about 300k subscribers on YouTube, and all the sponsors and revenue allowed her to get a decent Toyota. 

She drove, I took the seat beside her, while the two other girls sat behind. Mem took this time to talk about something she found more important.

"Are they part of your 'Sect' too?" She said the sect word weirdly, unsure if it was the word she thought it was.

"Are they?" I turned to look at them. "Well, Ruby is. She doesn't know it yet, though. She should be a disciple…? Or do I make her an elder? She's kinda weak for that though. Hmm, let's go with the #1 disciple, as she's learning directly from the Sect Leader, me."

Ruby gave us a confused look, not sure what I was blabbering about, as I turned to Tsubasa. She was wearing a pair of glasses now, but the glass didn't have a proper lens– she could see clearly without any glasses now, after all. Still, she just didn't like being without glasses, so she borrowed them from Mem-Cho's collection. She also gave me a strange look.

"As for Tsubasa, I don't know. Never had any plans to include her in this, it's a very dangerous route. That's why I never told her about the magical side of the world, either. But now that things are like this…" I didn't imply anything. "Anyway, all of this depends on what Tsubasa and her mother decide on. They need time to think this through."

I wanted them in my sect, they'll join me whether they planned to or not, but it didn't hurt to give them the illusion of freedom for now. We will see later.

Tsubasa gave me a nod and then lowered her head. From what I could tell, she's been having a talk with her mother this entire time.

"Hmm, so just the three of us for now?" Mem-Cho asked, a bit disappointed. Soon, her tone changed, however. "Huh. Well, I was expecting this to be bigger, but it's a good thing that I joined when it's smaller. Am I an elder, Aqua-kun?"

"Uh, you're weaker than Ruby…" I told her. Though if she learned her time powers, that might change soon. She pouted, trying to look cute, and it worked. "I'll teach you some spells, don't worry. But that means you'll be the #2 disciple."

"Fine." She sighed.

"Oh, and," I turned to Tsubasa, but I talked to her mother. "Kitty, if Tsubasa joins, she will be a Disciple, but you'll be an Elder. It's nice being two people at once, isn't it?"

The topic changed to lighter things as we soon reached our destination.

* * *

Trust created trust. Mem-Cho's help was greatly appreciated, and I wanted to show her that. I could have probably done without Mem-Cho anyway, but it would have been so much more troublesome.

When we reached our home, all of our parents were in Ai's house. The car stopped before the gate, the gatekeeper opened it after seeing me, and we went in. The doorbell rang soon after, as we waited for it to open.

"Uh, why do I feel nervous?"

"Because it's unwise to take this as meeting your boyfriend's parents," I told her, but it didn't have its desired effect as I wrapped a hand around her waist teasingly. I even leaned down a little to kiss her head. "It's fine, you'll be fine. My family is very understanding."

"Sure."

Then, the door opened. Miyako stormed out and hugged Tsubasa without any wait. I locked eyes with the younger girl and saw a flicker of gold in her brown eyes. When I gave it a glare, the flicker stopped and the usual brown remained.

"You dummy, where did you go? I- I was worried, you know?" Miyako cried as she hugged her daughter, and her daughter bore a guilty expression as if she had just burnt the world.

"I…" she trailed off.

Thankfully, Uncle Ichigo appeared then to save everyone from an emotional situation. 

"Ah, hey, Miyako, come on, give her some space. She just wanted to be alone, but she wasn't feeling sad for sure since she went out with Aqua and Ruby and even hung around Mem-Cho. Oh-! Mem-Cho is here?"

Mem-Cho waved a hand, smiling softly and surprisingly not feeling awkward. She found this situation sweet if anything.

Miyako kissed Tsubasa's head and then pulled back to look into Mem-Cho. She threw her arms around Mem-Cho suddenly, beginning to cry as she thanked her. Once again, Mem-Cho took it well. A mature girl, this one.

"Oh my, what am I doing, please, come inside." Miyako wiped her face and pulled us in.

Before stepping in, Mem leaned toward me to whisper in a happy voice, "Your aunt and aunty are great people. Now I can't wait to meet your mother. Also, don't they look familiar or is it just me?"

Soon, she realized she was right. They did look familiar. When she met my mother, her jaws dropped nearly to the floor and her eyes rolled on her head.

"Hey~ Mem-Cho, I know you! Thanks for taking care of my son." 

As a social media influencer, she knew who the most followed person in Japan was. The woman who had more than 100 Million followers, the living legend of Japan's showbiz, Ai Hoshino.

"Your mother is Ai?!"

Despite being so mature earlier, she didn't hold back that yell even though we were in the same room as Ai. Incredible switching.

"B-but! It doesn't make sense! The timeline means she had you two at the age of-"

"Now now," Ai jumped behind her, putting her arms around Mem-Cho. One of her fingers traveled to press over the younger girl's lips. "We all have our secrets, let's not go around yelling about them. Such as…"

Mem calmed down when mom, to even my surprise, whispered her real age to her ears. How could she even guess that? What?

Seeing Mem calm, she spoke, "My kids were always allowed to bring friends at home, I told them consequences be damned, but this is the first time they actually brought someone. It just happened to be a girl whom my son has chemistry with. So I'm looking forward to our meeting~ Oh and, let's make a TikTok together! Your channel needs a boost; you can consider this a thank you for giving my children a roof for a night."

Mem-Cho was pulled to our chamber of secrets, the studio deep in our mansion, while the rest of us got comfortable in our home. This is nice.
