The Chronicles Of Zero

Azazel: Blue Nephilim King, you have a rather pretentious title.

At this point, Belfast arrives with the drinks and places them on the coffee table, at this point Azazel tried to take a quick look at her c.h.e.s.t to see something pass him a few centimeters away from the eye, which stopped his heart for a few seconds and the object lodged itself in the wall behind him and then disappeared without a trace. The object in question was a needle, thin enough that no one noticed it.

The old man turns his eyes to see me drinking my tea as if nothing had happened, which makes him sweat.

Azazel(thought): That dirty kid, he is not kidding when he said he would blind me if I look at that woman. note to myself always takes Zero's threats seriously.

Zero: Say what you want, I don't care what people think of my title, but the responsibilities that come with that title are as important or more important than the one you have as Governor-General of the Fallen Angels.

Azazel: What do you mean by that?

Zero: Azazel, I'll be honest with you, Grigori is getting out of control, and you know what I mean, you can avoid the situation for as long as you want, but sooner or later you will have to answer to the other factions for the consequences of your actions. The fact that Fallen Angels appeared in a territory where two heiresses of the underworld are located with the mission to observe Sacred Gear carriers with your permission and someone passed an order under your name to kill them because they could represent a danger to your faction. If that's all it was, it wouldn't be a problem, but this is a territory where the little sisters of two Maou are. Do you know what that could have led to?

I say in a colder tone than before, and my eyes get cold too.

Azazel: Yes, I'm well aware of what that could lead to.

Zero: But you're not the only one to be blamed in this story, other factors have played a part as well, although I suspect there is a third group behind the scenes but I don't have enough evidence to prove it, although it's not for me to tell you what to do, but know that if your mistakes create a situation out of control that puts innocent people or my loved ones at risk, something might happen that you won't want to see. I think the case of Baraquiel is a good example to ill.u.s.trate my point.

This time Azazel and Penemue react and understand what I want to imply by referring to the tragedy of Baraquiel who is someone close to them.

At that moment Sakuya arrives with Milltelt and Dohnaseek when the latter sees me he starts to tremble with all his being and avoids my gaze and Mittelt, when she sees me, gives me a greeting with the hand that I return to her.

Zero: Here are the two fallen angels that I captured when they tried to kill me, personally if it were not for the avoidance of a second great war, these two would no longer be of this world.

Valina: Why didn't you do it? From what I've seen of your personality you're not the kind of person who hesitates to do something.

When Valina asked this question Azazel began to wonder about the nature of our relationship but managed to hide it.

Zero: Simple, I happen to be very close to the two heiresses and since those two stopped me from almost wiping Dohnaseek off the face of the earth to avoid more trouble with both factions, I spared him and decided to hold him. Of course, I got information about their groups and their actions on my side and I think the devils must have sent you a report.

Penemue: Indeed they were able to capture most of the stray exorcists and stray priests although some died resisting, and one of them managed to escape. And the two other fallen angels were also captured and are being interrogated at the moment.

Zero(thought): It's got to be Freed, but still manages to outrun a bunch of experienced devils, like a c.o.c.kroach.

Azazel: What kind of information did you gather from your side

Zero: But before that let me tell you a story a few years ago an archbishop of the church had an experience with one of the biggest possessions of the church without heaven's consent, but that experience was a failure and when the high-ranking officials got wind of it, instead of executing the leader and his companions, they were all excommunicated. Now the million-dollar question, what happened to this merry band?

Azazel, Valina, and Penemue began to think, then Azazel seems to have found the answer...

Azazel: Don't tell me these exorcists...

Zero: Pin pon

Penemue and Valina also seem to understand Azazel's words and are also shocked.

Azazel: Shit, and to think that all this has been going on under my nose all this time, but even if I'd known that, I couldn't have done anything.

Zero: You're a grown man, take responsibility, but if I were in your shoes I would have covered it up before it got out of hand.

Azazel: You say that like it's easy.

After talking for a while, Penemue took Dohnaseek and Miltelt with her to Grigori to receive their punishment, the girls started to get to know Valina, and I took Azazel with me to my playroom.

Azazel: I got the news that you thrash one of the sons of the Phenex family and that his wounds are healing only very slowly, what did he do to make you do this to him.

Zero: The poor guy made three monumental mistakes.

Azazel: And what are they?

Zero: Looking at my girlfriends and my teacher with a perverse look, attacking me behind my back and underestimating me because he thought I was human.

Azazel: Ooh, but you're not afraid of the repercussions this will have.

Zero: there was the presence of Grayfia Lucifurge the Queen of Lucifer, Serafall Leviathan, and the peerage of Sona Sitri and Rias Gremory, they may witness that it was Riser who provoked me, but I got a message before you arrived that the Phenex family wants to meet me about this.

Azazel: Oh, you were in the presence of two of the most powerful women in the underworld. How fortunate.

Zero: I never thought I'd meet them like this.

Azazel: And what are you going to do about it? Knowing you, you're going to go

Zero: You know me well, I'm going to go to the underworld, I was thinking about going after I've dealt with this problem in town.

Zero: To look for someone, like Grigori collecting fallen angels, I'm trying to bring together people like me who can't fit into the current factions and create a space just for us.

Azazel: It's a noble cause but it may fail you know, other factions won't accept the creation of a faction like yours, just the girls who are with you I can tell that with time and experience they can be formidable on a battlefield.

Zero: You can speak for yourself as you take Sacred Gear carriers under your wings, such as your elite Slash/Dog group and Valina.

Azazel: Can I ask how you know that?

Zero: It turns out I crossed paths with Tobio and the others when I was training in America and we became great friends, Although Lavinia's been all over me, she's taught me a lot about magic, take this.

I finish Heihachi with Devil Jin's death ray...

"K.O."

Azazel: Oh, my God, I lost.

// Timeskip //

Lu, Mio, Maria, Sakuya will stay in Kuoh to train and take care of the vermin that are lurking in the shadows of the city.

I'm in the living room right now with my AzurPedia in my hands, then I call Belfast, Curlew, Edinburgh, Curacoa...

Belfast: Yes, Master Zero what can we do for you?

Zero: I called you to tell you that we're going back to Azur Lane so I can see the state of the base and start my work as Commander.

Edinburgh: But master, you must have been tired, no?

Zero: You don't have to worry about that Edinburgh, I have a constitution that allows me to stay awake for days at a time without sleeping.

Curacoa: Even if that is true, Master Zero, you must take rest for your mental health.

Curacoa blames me

Zero: That's why I have you by my side to remind me.

Belfast: Ma~ Master Zero you be very good with your mouth

Zero: Being surrounded by pretty girls helps a lot. Good talk and let's go.

My Azurpedia starts to shine to teleport us into the Azur Lane world

// Azur Lane Base, Central Place of the Naval Academy //

My maids and I find ourselves in what appears to be the central square of the Naval Academy which is at the center of the Azur Lane base. I notice that I have a Commander's cap on my head and the top of the uniform on my shoulders like a cape and a katana in my left hand. Of course, the place is not empty and it is full of shipgirls mainly from the eagle union, Sakura empire and the royal who are surprised by our arrival.

Belfast: Master, welcome to the Azur Lane base.

Zero: Thank you... *Lowered voice* I'm back.

Shipgirl 1: Heh, the person next to Belfast-san wouldn't be the Commander.

Shipgirl 2: He seems nice, do you think he could play with us from time to time?

The shipgirls are starting to talk to each other about me, which makes me smile. Then I turn to the royal maid by my side.

Zero: Belfast, you can come with me to my office, while the rest of you have the rest of the day off.

Then I convert a few million Yen into Ruby, which is the common currency of this world, which I put in a satchel and give to Curacoa.

Curacoa: What is it, Master Zero?

Zero: I'd like you to run some errands for me, since I'm going to prepare dinner for everyone, gather some people to help you if you need it.

I tell her by passing her the list of ingredients to buy.

Curlew: Got it.

Then they're on their way and I and Belfast are heading to the Commander's office. As we greet all the shipgirls we come across.

// Timeskip //

// Commander's office //

I'm in my office checking all the doc.u.ments that are on it, mainly they are doc.u.ments on supplies, managing the base budget, assigning shipgirls to do commissions and most requests from the girls.

I gave Belfast the rest of the day off to take care of her other duties, leaving me alone in the office.

After I finish signing the final doc.u.ments, I rest in my seat.

Zero: Done, doing paperwork is tiring, I'm going to take a little nap.

I close my eyes to rest my mind for a little while.

...

????: ...ca...oni...

Zero: Um...

I hear someone calling me, I start to come out of my sleep...

???: You're awake Pica Pica Onii-chan

Zero: Pica Pica Pica Onii-chan?

When I completely come out of my drowsiness I notice that someone is sitting on my l.a.p, and it is a little girl in miko outfit with gold ornaments and fox ears.

Zero: Hello, little lady, who could you be?

I asked her with a smile

???: Hello~ I am Mutsu, Nagato's little sister! Ummm, you're the commander, aren't you? Why are you a commander? How does one become a commander? Isn't a commander supposed to be very powerful? Tell me, tell me...

Mutsu starts bombarding me with one innocent question after another, and I answer her as accurately as I can. Although I wonder how she got close to me without me noticing. After a while, I take Mutsu-chan off my knees and put her down on the ground.

Zero: Yosh, Mutsu-chan you want to come with me I'll make you a little snack.

Mutsu: Commander will make me a snack, I want to come...

I take Mutsu's hand and head to the base refectory kitchen, of course, I'm a little intrigued by the fact that Mutsu-chan is walking around by herself.

During our journey, Mutsu-chan notices the ring on my middle finger...

Mutsu: Commander~ Commander~ what's that object on your finger?

Zero: Uhm, oh that, it's called a wedding ring.

Mutsu: A wedding ring?

Zero: This object is a symbol that represents a bond that you have with someone special to you.

Mutsu: Mutsu understood

Arriving near the dining hall, my [Danger Detector] skill starts beeping at high speed, instinctively I dodge the attack by taking Mutsu-chan in my arms to get her out of reach of the attack.

*BOOOM*

Girls: Kiaaaa

I look where I was and I notice that this is a shell attack...

Mutsu: What's up~ Commander? It sounds like fun.

Zero: Yare yare daze, Kuroshio

Immediately an oni girl with point ears, black hairs, brown eyes in a ninja outfit and a black and red scarf appears before me.

Kuroshio: Yes my lord, you call me?

Zero: Take Mutsu with you and take her back to Nagato, please.

Kuroshio: Your orders will be carried out, Mutsu-sama over here.

Mutsu: Heh but Commander, Mutsu snack?

Zero: Don't worry Mutsu-chan, I'm finishing up something and I'll ask someone to bring you your snack later, okay?

Mutsu's sulking

Mutsu: Okay, Mutsu, will wait.

Zero: Thank you.

I pat her head which calms her and makes her smile before I nod to Kurishio to take Mutsu out of the combat zone, at the same time all the girls from the base are heading here to see what's going on.

As for me, I turn to the reason for this surprise attack...

???: Looks like my attack was easy to dodge, I expected no less from my target.

Zero: You know even if you didn't intend to kill me with your attack I could have been seriously injured you know that, Ironblood, Heavy Cruiser, Roon-san.

Indeed it is the experimental ship Roon, Roon is a woman with dirty blond short hairs, brown eyes, she wore a black top military uniform which display her generous b.r.e.a.s.t in all their glory with an Ironblood brassard, a black skirt, her hand seems mechanical, and she's fully equipped with its rigging.

Roon: You're getting more and more interesting Commander, I want to hug you.

Zero: Although it's tempting, Nein, Danke.

On hearing my answer, Roon's eyes began to turn red.

Zero (thinking): Damn it, she's starting to get out of control.

Roon: Let's play Commandant

Zero. Stop Roon.

Roon starts shooting at me, I draw my sword and blue flames how to appear on the blade.

Zero: Abyss Phoenix Art: Second Dance: Abyss Phoenix Pulse

I begin to waltz between each shell I cut with my flaming Katana which destroys them without leaving a trace. But a shell passes over me and goes straight at someone, and that person is none other than Admiral Graf Spee but without her mechanical hands.

Graf Spee is a cute girl with silver hair with a long strand of red hair and light blue eye, she's wearing a black military school girl uniform with a red tie, she also wearing an Ironblood flag scarf.

???: Careful, Schwester.

(A/N: Schwester = sister in Deutch )

Zero: Shit...

I use my [Shundo] to appear in front of Graf Spee and then...

* KABOOM*

???/???/???: COMMANDER!!!!!!!

When the dust cloud disappears, at the site of the attack there is a blue mass that appears to be alive...

// Inside the blue mass //

???: Kommandant, are you all right?!

Zero: Urg, I'm fine, Graf Spee, and you're okay?

Before the shell hit us, I took Graf Spee in my arms and spread my demon wings to protect us and activated [Royalgard] and [Time Stasis] to stop time around me and Graf Spee.

Graf Spee: How do you know my name?

Zero: Of course, I know the names of all the shipgirls on this base since I am your Commander.

Graf Spee: Tell me, Commander. Why did you protect me? You could have gotten hurt really bad.

Zero: Because I wanted to protect Graf Spee. And also because you're cute.

When I say that Graf Spee starts blushing, she's so cute, I want to protect her, I want to make her mine.

Zero (thought): It's decided my first conquest in the world of Azur Lane will be Admiral Graf Spee. Now that I think about it since I first did it with Lu, my reluctance to court the girls around me have almost disappeared. I don't have to think about it now, I leave all the problems to the future me.

// Future, Satan's Castle, Underworld //

On the balcony of a large castle, a man with long black and white hair tied up and in black Kung Fu outfit watches children playing in the garden of the mansion accompanied by several women of various origins angel, demon, human, goddess, shipgirl, and the list goes on.

*Achom*

???: Why I feel like going back in time and slapping my past self in the face? It must something dumb.

Then a little girl with long blond hair and green eyes comes up behind the man and pulls the end of his uniform...

???: Daddy, Mommy Irina, and Mommy Alice said lunch is ready...

???: Thanks for telling me, Haru-chan.

Then he takes the girl in his arms who starts to hug him, the latter moving towards the dining room.

???: What took you so long, Zero?

Future Zero: Sorry for the wait Spee

Future Zero(thought): Although I feel like slapping my past self, I feel like saying thank you to him for the life it has allowed me to have.

// Present //

Graf Spee: I'm not that cute, I'm just a weapon.

She says to me with tears in her eyes

Zero: Spee

When I call her name Spee looks at me then I give her a kiss, which surprises her, I kiss her for a few seconds before we split up

Graf Spee: Why did you kiss me like that, baka, pervert, enemy of women, it was my first kiss

Zero: Because I like you and I want you Spee, you're not a weapon but a human being, if someone tells otherwise I'll kick his a.s.s.

Graf Spee: I bet you say that to every girl you meet.

Zero: You're not wrong, to be honest with you I even have a harem right now because I've seduced several girls.

Graf Spee is looking at me with her eyes wide open because of my shameless behavior.

Graf Spee: You're a greedy person Commander, having so many women around you.

Zero: That's what I am, a thug of the worst kind. So what do you think of my proposal?

Graf Spee begin to think, then look in my eyes then a smile appear on her mouth

Graf Spee: Okay I accept, but I want to go on a date with you

Zero: Really?!

Graf Spee: Hum, you protected me from Roon's attack, and when you kissed me earlier I felt something that makes me whole, something that all the battles I've fought have failed to fulfill, please take care of me and thank you for loving someone like me, Commander.

Zero: You can call me Zero if you want Spee.

After a while, the blue mass starts to move and open up and Zero and Graf Spee appear without a scratch, except for a blushing Graf Spee. when all of a sudden someone runs towards Spee

???: Schwester, I'm glad you're okay.

Graf Spee: I'm fine große Schwester Deutschland, Zero protected me.

Deutschland: Zero?!

Deutschland looks at me with a condescending look.

Deutschland: You're the insect name Zero?

Zero: Nice to meet you too Deutschland

Deutschland: I have to confess for an insect you did well in front of this monster of Roon, and I offer you the honor to receive my thanks for having saved my little sister, so be grateful.

Zero: I just did my job, well, I have to take care of Roon before she does any more damage.

I look out of the corner of my eye that Roon seems even more out of control as I'm still in one piece and without a scratch. Then I notice Bismarck and Tirpitz, Prince of Wales and King George V, Amagi, Akagi and Kaga, as well as Enterprise, Hornet and Yorktown, are also present, so I might as well take advantage of this to impose my authority as a Commander and a Warrior

Zero: I'm going Spee

I walk up to Graf Spee and kiss her on the forehead that surprises everyone... then make Graf Spee blush with a goofy smile.

Deutschland: What's that?

Graf Spee: Take care, Zero.

I make a gesture with two fingers and then retrieve my katana which is on the ground...

Roon: Commander~ Commander~ Commander~ Commander~

Zero: Now, Roon, it's time for you to calm down, [Armiger] full release.

I say planting a crystalize sword in the soil that makes all my Royal Arms appear around me in their crystallized form.
