Chapter 31: An Older Imouto...

"Damn, that sucks..." Jake said, rubbing the back of his head. The shock of his circumstances still hadn't quite caught up to him. He had just had a very trying recent experience, after all. "20 years, huh? So, what did I miss?"

The boy who was now a grown man just let out a bellowing laugh. "Hahaha, you've missed quite a bit, Jake," he replied. "To start with..." He paused for suspense. "You have a little sister now!" he exclaimed.

"Really? I have a little sister?" Jake felt a smile form on his face at that thought. He couldn't wait to meet her!

"Yeah, she's a real firecracker, my little cousin." He paused again. "She's a bit of an otaku though..." he trailed off.

"So how old is she?" Jake asked. "I hope I didn't miss too much of her life." Sairaorg told him she was 17 years old, which then made Jake pause for a moment in thought as he did the math.

"Sairaorg..." Jake spoke to him in a deadpan tone. "I'm only 16 still, my birthday isn't until July."

"Oh," Sairaorg let out another billowing laugh. "Well, you have a big sister now instead!" He waved it off like there was no difference. There absolutely was a big difference! Jake had just lost his status as the potential cool older brother, and now he would be the little one!

"..."

As their conversation came to a bit of a lull, Jake asked Sairaorg where they were and what year it was. Sairaorg told him, confirming to Jake that he had truly sent himself forward 20 years in time. Apparently they were also in Sairaorg's territory in the underworld. Yes, Sairaorg was technically the real 'Lord Bael' since he came of age as his father had mysteriously vanished 20 years ago after being declared a criminal... It wasn't exactly easy for Sairaorg to claim the title though.

He told Jake that his strength had been officially recognized as Lord Bael and as an ultimate class devil when some branch members of the Bael clan tried to take his birthright of lord from him due to him not inheriting the power of destruction. In response to their challenge of his birthright, Sairaorg then challenged all of his clans naysayers all at the same time and beat the crap out of them for the whole underworld to see! His mother, who Jake remembered being a total milf, had also been extremely supportive of him the entire time.

After speaking about his mother, Sairaorg actually bowed to Jake in appreciation. "I would like to thank you and Blaze for saving her!" He said with his head lowered and with great sincerity.

*Chirp chirp* Blaze, who had been flying around, chirped in reply to Sairaorg.

"And thank you as well, Noble Phoenix Blaze." Sairaorg waved at Jake's familiar in the sky. Jake was a bit confused at his sudden thanks.

"Um...you're welcome?" Jake questioned. He had no idea what he was being thanked for. Sairaorg then went on to explain to him that apparently his mother had fallen into something called the devil's sleeping sickness. Not much was known about the illness, except that once a devil had it and fell asleep, they would never wake again. However, the vial of true phoenix tears that had been paid to Sairaorg when they met as children was actually able to wake his mother, Misla, from her eternal sleep.

Sairaorg then continued and told Jake that after his mother awoke, the news of her awakening from a 'miracle cure' had spread all over the underworld. People from all over wanted to seek out the 'Noble Phoenix Blaze' along with its mysterious master so they could cure their relatives who had been affected by the sleeping sickness as well! The 'mysterious master' never showed himself, but apparently Jake's peerage member, the enigmatic Luna Lovegood, had handled all of the negotiations and payments in his name. Sairaorg went on to explain that Jake was apparently filthy rich now after profiting heavily from Blaze's tears! Jake was blown away by that news. One moment he's fighting for his life and the next he's accidentally time traveled again and then he had some money to his name.
