Usually she was only hearing retellings from the cooks or maids.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was cool to have a guardian who was an actual monster hunter and led one of the strongest forces in the multiverse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she couldn't help but notice there was something about the story that was a little bit less grandiose compared to the rest of the ones she'd heard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…You got your butt beat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shin showed a smile that was not a smile as he accidentally snapped the wooden spoon his daughter had been using to eat with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…I most certainly did not.\" He defended.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That dragon got lucky once! It will not happen again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaela stared at her father with particularly big eyes and a scowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Papa is a bully.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"E-Excuse me?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sounds like he just wanted to go home to me.\" Kaela defended. \"You could have let him go home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that he could have eventually returned to the any world he wanted to wreak havoc on us all??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Maybe he just wanted to go home to eat toaster strudels.\" Kaela shrugged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shin stared at his daughter with unveiled suspicion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"… Are you sure he's the one who wants to eat toaster pastries?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaela shrugged again, significantly less innocently this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinarily, Director Shin would have would lecture her on excessive sugar in her diet, but this time was a bit different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they were both going to be stuck at home for a while, maybe it would pay to adjust his approach a bit differently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The way his father did with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"… I too believe that I would like a toaster strudel.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaela felt elated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her father lifted her out of bed and into his lap and he wheeled the two of them towards the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had almost left the room when the door slid open once again to reveal a new face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wore the standard white shirt, brown coat and slacks that members of the order usually wore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her bright olive skin was soft and blemish free, as was the delicate black hair that fell down her back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had warm eyes with a small trace of mischief hidden within their brown undertones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard someone was feeling a little under the weather today. Looks like you're getting the VIP treatment, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Big sister!\" Kaela threw up her arms with glee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shin could not help but noticing that at the moment Branch Leader Fiona entered the room, he ceased to be interesting to his young daughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already been notified through several reports of their close relationship, but this was the first time he actually had a problem with it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good afternoon, Director.\" Fiona smiled and offered a crisp salute. \"I'm glad to see you're recovering well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shin stuffed down his unwarranted hostility so that he could atleast pretend to be an incorruptible superior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…I thank you for that, Branch Leader.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Awh, so formal.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When you're in your browns, I will refer to you by your station only. Nothing else.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Her name is Fi-Fi!\" Kaela reprimanded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not right now it isn't.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"\"Fi-Fi!\"\" The girls cheered in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did I just say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"\"FI-FI!\"\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Director Nagumo plucked Kaela back from Fiona and took her into his lap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ahem… My daughter and I were just about to go and procure a treat from the kitchen. You are free to join us for a moment before returning to your duties.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fiona rubbed her chin thoughtfully. \"Oh? Welllll, I suppose I might be able to spare the time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes..!\" Kaela cheered quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, Director Nagumo felt as if his special bonding time with his daughter was being intruded upon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaela crawled out of his lap once again and took her big sister's hand; intending to lead the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As if a god had finally decided to answer Director Shin's prayers, a small buzzing sound suddenly came from Fiona's coat pocket.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She checked her phone with a grimace before letting out an annoyed groan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, guys. Seems like im going to have to head downstairs to handle a bit of desk work first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aww…\" Kaela visibly deflated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm surprised you're not trying to put it off…\" Shin muttered under his breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What was that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I said I should learn how to play golf. Be sure to work hard for the order.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shin snatched up Kaela a third time to position her in his lap. He then proceeded to wheel out of the room before she could run away and ruin their plans again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fiona watched them depart with a bit of a melancholic look on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How nice would it be if she had been adopted by the Director instead of that young girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being heir to the order seemed nice and everything, but having a father and a real mentor seemed nicer still.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- Tehom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon didn't know how long he'd been asleep for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When his eyes fluttered awake, he was in the same position as before. Lying on his back on the tatami floors of their private dojo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lately, he felt like he was walking through a bit of a fog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To keep his mind from immersing itself in constant worry, he was almost walking around on autopilot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He performed any work he had to do with efficiency and finished in record time; leaving him in need of more to do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He went to go find his siblings so that he could talk to them about their dating lives as a distraction, but they only wanted to ask about him at every turn. It was appreciated, but not what he needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even went to find Satan and sparred with him to truly get his mind off things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But because he was half-sentient and therefore not being mindful of his current opponent, he ended up destroying Satan within three moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was so bad that the usually bottomless pit of anger, wrath, and fighting spirit conceded after two bouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not happily either I might add…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the end of the day, Abaddon somehow ended up here; the dojo where Seras spends almost 60% of her time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was almost like she was here again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could smell her in nearly every corner of the room. Visualize her working tirelessly to improve herself and earn their family's praise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…Maybe this wasn't the best place for him to be after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An animalistic snort suddenly drew his attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A large furry beast with a mane of black fire threatened to push him over with it's furry concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Entei..? What are you doing in here, buddy..?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We were worried about the master!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon looked up at the ceiling and found a large demonic bat hanging from the rafters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Should you two not be with your actual owner..?\" Abaddon yawned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little master is currently third wheeling on a date with Monica and Straga.\" Camazotz answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why?\" Abaddon tilted his head in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"She said that she didn't have shit else to do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Fair enough.\" Abaddon lay back down onto Entei's soft, but study body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he suddenly opened his eye and realized that certain other little beasties were missing from the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Namely, Bagheera and Bayle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are my pets?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Asleep. We told them to come with us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Grunt* 'They did not care.' Entei confessed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon felt a vein bulge in his forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He'd see if those monsters cared about him when he coincidentally forgot to feed them for a week… or four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The master smells like depression. Why is that the case?\" Camazotz asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"… I do not smell like depression, bat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entei placed his large paw on Abaddon's shoulders and gave him a cheesy sympathetic look as if to say; 'It's alright, bud. You can tell us that you need help.'\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…That's it, no more television dramas for you or Mira.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Depressed whimpering.*\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Abaddon was trying to get back to resting, another significantly more annoying individual contacted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A dark 'rip' was created in the space in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the opening, Abaddon could see the loathsome face of Maliketh staring back at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…Overlord. There has been a development I thought you should be aware of.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anger showed on Abaddon's face immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The air around him wavered as if it were enduring a heat wave; and all tangible light in the room was sucked in by his darkness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can assure you, Maliketh.. my mood lately has been an unbearably foul thing. I urge you not to tell me anything that could make it worse or the fate that awaits you will not be kind.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maliketh was no stranger to Abaddon's immense dislike for not only him, but the rest of the Uma-Sarru as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And yet, this was the first time that he ever actually believed that Abaddon would seriously harm him. It somehow instilled even this deathless being with fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I-I understand. I've come here to speak to you about the collection…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>- 15 Minutes Later…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Maliketh was long gone, Abaddon went back to lying on Entei with his eyes shut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would have been sleeping already, if Camazotz was not so determined to keep him company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why does master hate the Mr. Maliketh so much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why won't you let me sleep..?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mrs. Audrina says you sleep too much and Camazotz responsibility is to be a 'goodest boy' and keep you occupied.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abaddon groaned in indignation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…His body's power is unsettling. I would loathe him significantly more if I could lock him inside a specific appearance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why? Who does the master see?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"…My father.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mr. Asmodeus is indeed nauseating to look at. He's quite ugly.\" Camazotz nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not him, bat.\" Abaddon suppressed a snicker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Camazotz could ask what he meant, the sliding door to the dojo was pulled open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hajun and Kirina both stepped into the dojo while hand in hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the particular condition they were in was alarming to say the very least.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You two… What have you done..?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1699,"2026-06-03T10:36:59.395Z","2026-06-03T10:36:54.451Z",1,"novelbin.me","24e0cd3ae32a12999aff6a1b60fcc122b83d2367f9e6d85503d2ca08fa45a4c4","first-demonic-dragon-chapter-672","first-demonic-dragon-chapter-670",1284,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ffirst-demonic-dragon-cover.jpg"]
