A Cliché Multiverse Story-Chapter 370 - CH. 378: A Promise
Gabriel became overjoyed at the thought of seeing the outside world. The number of times she left Heaven could be counted on one hand. The games made her more curious than ever about the world.
God gave a concerned look. He could control Gabriel's fall inside Heaven. The same couldn't be said for other dimensions.
'Why did I create that idiotic concept in the first place?'
His laments for the past couldn't mend the current situation. If he had been at his peak, he might have given and taken Gabriel's angel-hood without much concern. Doing so now would cripple him more since Gabriel was almost as strong as him.
The more God hesitated the more Gabriel clung to Asahi, essentially squeezing him in her embrace. She didn't want to force her father, but she also couldn't let go of this chance to roam outside.
Asahi stroked Gabriel's hair while giving God a stern look. "Don't be an ass."
(My love, he is thinking about Gabriel falling outside Heaven.)
'That doesn't mean he can cage her in this place.'
No matter how big Heaven was, it couldn't make up for the 'real' world.
God scratched his head. Gabriel's conflicted expression welled up guilt in his chest. "Gabriel, you should know what happened to your brethren who indulged in the seven sins."
"I do, Father. They were removed from their seats in Heaven."
God nodded. "I'll just say one thing. Don't betray my trust."
Gabriel might be an airhead, but she could read God's intentions just fine. She turned her gaze to Asahi and balled up her fists. "I can't… I can't promise that. I love Asahi… I-I might fall..."
Before she despised Azazel who fell for his love for women, now not so much. Her feelings for Asahi were more than the other angels who engaged in 'babymaking' activities with other children. The said angels never cuddled with each other or patted each other's heads.
God was speechless at Gabriel's 'defiance.' Gabriel looked down, tears filling her eyes. Gabriel's confession and her courage to stand up and reject God directly caught Asahi off-guard. Asahi swallowed his shock and stopped Gabriel's tears with his special calming headpats.
God concealed his shock and sighed. "Gabriel, do you want to marry Asahi?"
He had already decided to marry her with Asahi, but he wanted to confirm it with Gabriel once.
The concept of marriage wasn't unknown to Gabriel. Rather, the thought never left her after she met Grayfia. She sheepishly glanced at Asahi's other wife. Shizuka playfully giggled and pinched her cheeks.
"Don't get weak knees now. Do you want to marry Aa-kun?"
"Can I?" She looked at Asahi and Shizuka for confirmation.
Shizuka gave a cute pout to Asahi. "It's not like Aa-kun will stop if I told him to."
She was just bitter that Asahi will have to keep another woman happy. Her family was growing at a faster rate than everyone predicted. At this point, Asahi's life will just become a cycle to keep everyone happy.
"You know me, Nee-san." Asahi grinned shamelessly. "Gabriel is just so lovable. I can't help it."
Shizuka sighed. 'He is helpless…'
(Isn't that why we love him?)
'But… I worry sometimes that he will eventually get tired of this. Tired of us.'
(Believe me, he won't. I wouldn't have allowed my love to have a harem if he was going to be like that. It's human nature to question things when their life is full of positive things.)
'Klyscha-sama could've monopolized Aa-kun by stopping his journey. Aa-kun wouldn't be happy without a harem…'
(Exactly… it took me decades to make the decision.)
'Aren't you seventeen, Klyscha-sama?'
(I'm eighteen. Forever eighteen!)
Shizuka put a hand on her mouth and giggled.
God took his attention off of Shizuka and revealed a massive grin. "It's official then. I was already thinking of marrying you two."
God came clean to Gabriel about his plans. Gabriel didn't think much of it and threw herself at Asahi.
"You can't leave me for days now! I'm your wife, remember?"
Her intentions to marry Asahi were innocent. The Seraph just wanted to spend more time with him and get more headpats.
Asahi patted her back and whispered, "Headpat slut."
God's smile widened, becoming borderline creepy. "I'll work on something to prevent angels from falling."
Asahi recalled the interdimensional room created by Michael for Issei and Irina to have sex without the latter falling. Instead of a room, Asahi wanted a house with a similar function in Heaven Realm so he could lewd his angel wives in the future. 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎
"We'll work on it together."
God nodded his head. "Gabriel, please don't do anything that will result in your fall. Have fun out there."
"I promise I won't!"
Neither God nor Asahi took her promise seriously. How could they when the golden halo above her head flickered ominously?
