Hub World, Earth, Japan, Tokyo.
The next morning, after bathing and getting ready for the day, the Soramoto family and their guests were once again gathered in the dining room of the penthouse apartment. However, unlike what everyone expected, Tatsuo was not the one who cooked breakfast. In fact, Alfonzo did not cook either. Rather, Grayfia took charge of the kitchen with Sumire, Mai, and Kasumi assisting her.
As for Tatsuo and Alfonzo, Tatsuo put Alfonzo to work. And the reason for that was simple. Because of the decision made by the members of the [Dimensional Chat] Tatsuo would have to go into the [Mission] in the MHA world with [Spatial manipulation] as his [Quirk], despite the fact that he wanted to use [Projection Magecraft (Trace)].
Meaning, he would not be able to use all the weapons he copied from Emiya's [Reality Marble]. So, to work around that, he made Alfonzo help produce as many of the weapons as he could with [Metal Magic] during their free time before the concert that would take place tonight.
And just like that, the day passed peacefully with Tatsuo and Alfonzo creating weapons, Elicia creating outfits for as many of the people present as she could, James playing video games feverishly, and the others doing whatever it was that they did during their down time.
Eventually, the time came for everyone to start getting ready for the concert. Naturally, the first ones to arrive in the living room were the men in the group. Namely, Tatsuo, James, Alfonzo, and Zelretch.
"I gotta say, every time I see her work, I can't praise her enough." James, wearing a black tuxedo with a cherry blossom-colored vest, a white shirt, and a black tie, said with a smile while looking at Tatsuo's and Alfonzo's tuxedos. "Lici might even be better than Shuna when it comes to creating clothes."
"Well, Lici is good at what she does." Alfonzo, dressed in a white suit with a white-collared, black dress shirt, replied with a smile that let everyone know he was proud of his wife's work.
"Indeed." Zelretch, wearing a blue suit, a black tie, and a white overcoat, added with a smile of his own. "Though, I could have done without the tongue lashing she gave me about my fashion sense when we met. But she is truly a talented seamstress."
"Yeah, I never had any doubt after seeing her original ID in the [Chat]." Tatsuo, wearing a black tuxedo, a midnight purple vest, and a matching bow tie, said with a nod. "Magic Seamstress sums it up perfectly."
"Now, the only question is how long will the ladies take to get ready?" James asked rhetorically. "*Sigh* Why can't more women by like Lady. She never takes too long to get ready."
"What was that, my disciple?" Scáthach asked as she walked into the living room wearing a dark purple evening gown with a large, diamond shaped cut-out that revealed a portion of her breasts and abdomen, as well as a slit that showed off most of her left leg and thigh. "Does that mean that you don't think the rest of us are good enough? Perhaps you would like to trade all of your women for Lady?"
When the four men in the room saw Scáthach's outfit, they all had the same collective thought.
'Holy Shit…'
"You know that's not what I meant, Master." James said quickly. "But seriously, any time we have to show up at a formal event, you look like you're trying to steal the show."
"That silver tongue of yours is still just as good at getting you out of trouble, I see." Scáthach replied with a slight smile curling the corners of her lips.
With that, the five sat down on the couches in the living room and chatted while waiting for the other members of their rather large group to arrive.
Luckily, they all decided to get ready early. Mainly because James and Alfonzo pushed everyone to do so, knowing that it would take some people longer than others to get dressed and made up.
The next to arrive was Tio. And to everyone's surprise, instead of wearing something super revealing, like her usual kimono-like dragon man robes, she wore a black, formal kimono with a yellow obi and her hair styled into a bun.
Shortly after Tio, Kasumi and Ayane entered together with Kasumi wearing a blue evening gown with gold accents while Ayane wore a purple evening gown with black long sleeves and open toed high-heels.
"You know, I halfway expected you to have everything just about hanging out." Tatsuo said as he looked Tio up and down. "And if you did, I would have sent you right back to your room to change."
"Just how low is your opinion of me, Master?" Tio asked, her face reddening because of Tatsuo's words. "Although I would like to create more situations where you would have to punish me, I know better than to do anything that would ruin your reputation. What kind of slave would I be otherwise?"
"Now, we just have to do something about you calling yourself a slave." Tatsuo said in a tired tone. He then turned towards the half-sisters who entered not long after Tio. "And I've never seen either of you in formal clothing. But you both really look nice."
"Thank you." Kasumi replied softly with a gentle smile on her face.
"Hmph!" Stop staring. It's disgusting." Ayane barked out while turning her head in order to hide the smile that was curling her lips.
Despite her harsh retort, everyone in the room could see the blush that colored Ayane's cheeks thanks to Tatsuo's complement.
"Of course they look nice." James said with a smile. All the women gathered tonight are supernaturally beautiful. So, there's really no other option than for them to look good, right?"
"Can't really argue with that." Alfonzo replied.
Accompanied by more chatting, time continued to pass. And the next to enter the living room were Sumire, wearing a violet evening gown with her hair styled into two buns, and Mai wearing a red qipao dress with short white sleeves, a high slit on the right, and a pair of red stockings. And to everyone's surprise, Mai's dress did not show any cleavage, at all.
In fact, seeing Mai dressed so conservatively, Tatsuo found it hard to take his eyes off of her, which made Mai smile brightly.
'So, just showing him everything isn't as effective as giving him something to imagine, huh?' Mai asked herself while watching Tatsuo's gaze roam up and down her body. 'Maybe I've been going about this all wrong. I should be more discreet from now on.'
"Hey, does something about this seem off to you?" James asked Alfonzo in a whisper.
"Yeah, a Mai Shiranui who's not showing off the goods doesn't feel like a real Mai Shiranui at all." Alfonzo replied in a whisper of his own.
"Exactly." James said with a nod. "Do you think she got sick or something?"
"No, Mai-Chan isn't sick." A female voice replied to James' question while whispering as well. "But it took a lot of work to get Mai-Chan to dress with a little self-respect, you know? In fact, that's why we weren't out here earlier."
Hearing that voice, both James and Alfonzo froze for a moment. Then, they snapped their heads in the voice's direction and were surprised when they saw Sumire smiling at them playfully.
'How did she get there without me noticing anything at all?' James and Alfonzo thought in unison.
"I see." James replied with an awkward smile on his face.
"You must have worked really hard to make something like this possible." Alfonzo added, a similarly awkward smile on his face, as well.
"By the way, what's taking your wife so long, Fonzie-Chan?" Sumire asked curiously. "She doesn't strike me as the type who takes long to get ready."
"Oh, she finished an outfit for Lilith last night." Alfonzo replied casually. "So, she's with Lilith putting the finishing touches on the dress."
"Yes, Lady Lilith is quite lucky." Venelana, wearing a simple, sleeveless, white evening gown with long white gloves said as she entered the living room.
Following closely behind Venelana was Grayfia, who swapped her maid dress for a sleeveless, black evening gown with a slit that went up past her left hip. Also, instead of her usual hair style, she styled it into one long braid that hung down her back.
"Holy shit, Grayfia." James exclaimed in surprise. "Seeing you out of your maid uniform is always a surprise. But usually, when you're not on duty, you dress like you went on a shopping spree at Forever 21. But damn… When you dress up, you really dress up."
"Thank you for your praise, Lord Sataniel." Grayfia replied with a polite bow, showing no signs that the praise affected her in the slightest.
Despite her calm response, everyone in the room was able to see that the tips of Grayfia's ears turned slightly red when they peaked out from behind her hair.
"No compliment for me, James?" Venelana asked with a pout.
"Do I even have to say how good you look, Venelana?" James replied quickly. "I thought it was already a well-established fact that you were gorgeous no matter what you wear."
Hearing that, Venelana nodded happily as she took a seat on the couch next to James.
'Yeah, I gotta get my Grayfia to try on an outfit like that, too.' Alfonzo thought to himself while admiring Grayfia's beauty and figure.
"Wow! Everyone looks incredible." Violet said as she stepped into the living room.
Hearing Violet's voice, everyone once again turned their heads towards the entrance. When they did, they saw Violet, wearing an ankle-length black evening gown with a daringly low neckline, leading Sakura, who wore a flowing, pink and white gown, by the hand. Medusa was not far behind them, either. Though, she was currently in her astral form. And the reason for that was simple. She did not have a formal outfit to attend the concert in.
As soon as Violet entered the room, Tatsuo stood up from the couch where he was sitting. He then made his way over to his girlfriend and took her free hand in his own.
"You look great, violet." Tatsuo said with a smile, gaining a smile from Violet in return while Sakura frowned slightly. A moment later, however, he turned his attention to Sakura and complimented her, as well. "So do you, Sakura. You're both gorgeous."
Immediately, Sakura's frown turned into blushing embarrassment. And when Violet nudged her with her elbow while wearing a smile that screamed: "See, I told you." Her entire face turned red and steam threatened to escape from the top of her head.
"Hurry up, Slow Rabbit."
"Hey, don't push me! Besides, it's not my fault this is the first time I wore something like this on my own."
Luckily for Sakura, before she could get too embarrassed, Shea, wearing an ocean blue dress stumbled into the room after being pushed from behind by Aletia, who wore a sleeveless, formal, white dress, as she rushed the rabbit woman forward.
"Whoa! Ahh! Look out!" Shea squealed as her arms windmilled in an attempt to keep her balance. "Oh no! I'm gonna fall!"
Realizing that she had no way to catch her balance on her own, Shea closed her eyes and prepared for the pain that would come with slamming face first into the floor. Yet, that pain never came. Instead, she felt a pair of arms wrap around her back as her fall was stopped when she fell into a man's chest.
"Huh?" Shea intoned as she slowly opened her eyes.
When she looked up to see who caught her, Shea was mesmerized by how close she was to Tatsuo, who let go of Violet's hand to make sure that she did not fall and possibly ruin her dress.
"You okay, shea?" Tatsuo asked in a concerned tone.
Yet, Shea did not respond.
"Hey… Say someth--- Mmph!" Tatsuo continued after not receiving a response.
Yet, before he could even finish his sentence, Shea jumped up, wrapped her arms around Tatsuo's neck, and smashed her lips into his on instinct. She then wrapped her legs around his waist and continued to kiss him like she was trying to suck his soul out through his mouth.
"Hey! Let go, you worthless rabbit!" Aletia shouted, her tone filled with both rage and jealousy as she reached up and took hold of Shea's puffy, round rabbit tail and tried to pull her off of Tatsuo.
'It's a good thing she wasn't wearing lipstick.' Tatsuo thought absent-mindedly as he could feel some of the women in the room starting to get just as angry and jealous as Aletia while others found a great deal of amusement in the current situation. '*Sigh* I'm gonna have to calm some of them down while being relentlessly teased by others. Why couldn't all this happen after the damn concert?'
And just as Tatsuo expected, as soon as he snapped back to his senses and peeled Shea off of him, the room erupted into chaos, with some of the people trying to quell it as some of them try to stoke it for their own amusement. Meanwhile, Tatsuo was stuck in the middle, ready to just [Blink] away so that he did not have to deal with everyone's bullshit.
"Whoa! It's pretty lively in here."
However, just before Tatsuo could put his plan into motion, a new voice cut through the din. A moment later, Elicia stepped into the living room wearing a sleeveless black evening gown with a cut-out that showed her upper chest, a waist-high slit on the left side, a pink sash wrapped around her waist, and black, detached sleeves that reached her wrists. She then looked around curiously. And when she realized that everyone, other than Lilith, was present, she nodded with a smile on her face.
"Well then, since everyone is here…" Elicia said, raising her voice and silencing all the noise. "May I present to you… Lilith, former Queen of the Underworld!"
*Click!* *Click!* *Click!*
And with Elicia's announcement, Lilith walked into the room like she was atop a catwalk, her high heels clicking against the floor with every step. And just as Elicia expected, all eyes were immediately drawn to her, her voluptuous figure, and the revealing, sleeveless, deep purple evening gown clinging to it that revealed a large amount of her breasts and cleavage with waist-high slits on both sides.
"Damn it, Grandma!" James exclaimed, the first to get his senses back about him. "Can't you be a little more modest? We really don't need the headaches that will come with the succubus progenitor showing that much skin."
"No." Lilith replied without even looking at James as she walked towards Tatsuo with her hips swaying seductively, confident she would definitely be able to capture Tatsuo's heart.
Unfortunately, because of the earlier situation, Tatsuo was not in the mood to be seduced. Instead, he just wanted to leave. On top of that, he was more concerned with what Yakumo would think when she met all these women who were clearly competing for his attention and affection.
"Good. Everyone is here." Tatsuo said with a nod as he looked around the living room. "Suntory Hall is only ten minutes away by car. On top of that, Mom rented a few limos to get us there. So, you should all break up into groups so we can get going."
Lilith's expression froze on her face when Tatsuo did not even spare her more than a glance. However, instead of getting angry, her determination to seduce him only soared. Even so, she did not hinder the group's attempts to leave the apartment. So, after only a few minutes, everyone had taken the elevator down to the garage where they split up and boarded the limousines and made their way to the concert venue.
