King of my heart

Opera's gift and familiars

"Opera-senpai," Kalego greeted, as the door to Lord Sullivan's mansion was opened. "Get Iruma ready, class is about to start."

"There's been a change of plan," Opera told his Omega. "The Research of Magical Tools Batora is having a meeting with the headmaster."

"Then I better get going back," Kalego said, turning on his heels ready to return home.

"Wait!" Opera stopped him. "I... would like to show you something."

Kalego didn't know if it was that they've been trying to fix their relationship or if it was the hesitation on his usually confident senpai's voice, but Kalego stopped and turned around. He then followed the fox demon through the mansion to the back garden. They crossed the whole garden towards the end, where two metallic gates rose.

"What's this?" Kalego questioned the Alpha, noticing the huge amounts of magic coming from the gates.

"This is my mating gift," Opera answered, startling the Omega. "I took a page out of Iruma-sama's book and gave you a place of your own. I'm sure we'll end up driving you insane in the mansion. So, I asked Sullivan-sama to enchant the gates so only you can open them and only you can decide who can enter. Right now there's nothing behind... but I was thinking of moving your house here." He explained to a shocked Kalego. "So, you'll have a place for your own without Lord Sullivan or I driving you crazy."

"For whenever I am ready to move in?" Kalego asked.

"For whenever you are ready to move in," Opera assured him.

"Ok, I accept it," Kalego said, knowing the serious implications of his words and how much it will affect their growing relationship.

Opera's ears perked up in pure happiness and he smiles slightly, before offering to escort the Omega back inside. As they were entering the mansion they heard the headmaster whining and moaning. They looked at each other intrigued and followed the sound. They found them all at the headmaster's office, Lord Sullivan was sulking in a corner, while Andro was standing tall and proud. He looked really pleased with himself as he read the paper in his hand. Iruma was gaping, Clara had an expression of pure amazement on her face and even Alice looked mildly impressed.

"What happened here?" Kalego-sensei finally asked.

"Jazz-kun outsmarted Ojii-san," Iruma answered as if he still could not believe the plan had worked out that well.

The Omega frowned as the reply did not really answer anything. So, he magically summoned the paper out of his student's hand and read it. Kalego had to admit he was impressed by his student's achievement.

"They got you to sign a contract giving them the sole right to sell and build magical tools for the school. While every repair might be free of charge, in return they are asking a rise of their batora's fundings to... devil! How could you sign this?!" Kalego-sensei scolded the headmaster, as this one got more depressed. "Not to mention the price of the magical tools!"

Opera took the paper out of his mate's hands, his ears lowering more and more with every word he read.

"Sullivan-sama," Opera began, his calm voice sending shivers down his master's back. "It seems that we need to talk about you signing any kind of contract without my approval first."

With that said he dragged the older demon out, as this one begged for mercy. Not even Iruma felt sorry for his grandfather. Signing that contract was plain stupid.

"So, did I pass the test?" Andro asked, smirking at the pink-haired demon.

"Yes. I will be sending you the information about the firework businesses later this week, so you can get to work on them." Alice replied, poised like always. "You are free to go."

"Thank you, my lord." Andro joked but then sobered up. "Congratulations on your courting."

"Thank you," Iruma replied, with a bright smile as he held hands with a blushing Alice.

"See you at school, sensei." Jazz said his goodbyes and left.

"If you are free now, we might as well get some work done." Kalego-sensei's voice froze the cheering of the remaining members of the batora. "Iruma still needs a familiar. So, we might as well get it over with."

"Yes, sensei," the three spoke together, following their teacher outside.

Like the previous time, Iruma took the summoning seal from Kalego and burned it. However, this time the result was different. When the smoke cleared up, it was not Kalego who stood there but a huge black bird-like monster.

"Is that..." Iruma murmured.

"Arg!" Kalego groaned, feeling a headache coming. "Another impossible feat from Iruma."

"As expected from Iruma-sama!" Alice exclaimed, eyes shining brightly.

"Sugoi Irumachi!" Clara cheered.

As the smoke cleared up, right in front of their group stood none other than the Master of the Valley.

Kalego-sensei could only think of the kind of troubles Iruma will find himself in the future. While Iruma dreaded what the school's newspaper will write next.

Him defeating a magical beast? His rose in ranks? His mating? His new familiar? They might as well make a whole edition about himself, solely to write about what Iruma did during his last days.

What was for sure, is that the return to school will be eventful, to say the least.
