( Yuuki's POV )
When I told Yue to stay with us her expression didn't change much but in her eyes I could see relief and excitement but that changed quickly.
Yue: Are you sure you want me to accompany you? You would be becoming an enemy of the church.
Yumina: umm why is that.
Yue: Because of my ability to manipulate magic directly, I am considered an aberration before God.
Yuuki: Well, you already saw that I'm in the same boat as you, I have no love for the church, much less the god of this world.
Yue: That doesn't change the power and influence they have, they are a very big enemy.
Tsukiumi: That's not a problem, we're not even native to this world.
Yumina: Where we come from, no one will care if you are a vampire or what abilities you possess.
Yuuki: Come, it will be easy if I show you.
I extended a hand towards Yue, she was still somewhat hesitant but she took my hand anyway, then I opened a portal, and the place on the other side was a big building that had a great view of the city where Hajime and I grew up.
Yue was surprised and before she could take in the full scene I opened another portal, this time to one of the floating islands in the Babylon kingdom.
Yuuki: This is my home, this world is connected to several different worlds, and this could be your home too, no one will try to lock you up here.
I looked at Yue with a smile and after a few seconds she squeezed my hand tightly and gave her answer.
Yue: I want to stay here... With you.
///////////////////////////
After Yue decided to join us, we went through the castle where Vivi got her a new set of clothes, then we went back to the dungeon, not to continue exploring but to introduce Yue to the others.
We teleported to my room in the castle, we told Yue's story to the others and also asked her more questions.
Something I was curious about was why she was locked in the dungeon, why those who betrayed her didn't just kill her.
Her answer was that she had a unique ability [regeneration] that made her basically immortal, as long as she had magic power she could regenerate any wound and she had a massive magic pool and rapid production of magical energy, her existence was like a miracle even decapitation or complete destruction of the body could not kill her, only stop her temporarily.
But she wasn't invulnerable to mental damage, after being isolated for so many years she had a weakness to loneliness, when it was time to sleep she held onto my hand tightly, the girls understood Yue's situation and they let her sleep next to me as long as one of them was also with me.
The next day with Yue in our group I thought it was time to move out of the castle, after talking with Yue my trust in the church, more specifically the Pope, was even lower than before.
I spoke to the one I knew I could trust, Princess Lily, but when I spoke to her she was hesitant to help, she asked if there was anything wrong with my accommodations or if there was any other problem.
I replied that the castle was a bit crowded with all of us students and that I was thinking of staying here after the war and wanted to look for a place to stay early.
When I told her that, she didn't hesitate to help me, but I was interested in what the Pope and the king had to say about that, I thought they would want to keep all the summoned heroes close and well guarded but they were not opposed to the idea, perhaps they wanted to use this to convince others to take up permanent residence in this kingdom.
Lily, being so efficient, found a house for me when I finished my work with the Synergists at the palace, and it was as close to the palace as possible, as I passed through the palace wall I could already see my new home.
Erica: isn't this place a bit small?
The place Lily had was a medium sized two story house, not a small place but we were a big group, The boys from our club and Suzuki and Akane stayed at the castle but the rest were with me.
Yuuki: No problem, this place is just to keep us away from the eyes of the church, I will install a Gate directly to Babylon and everyone can sleep in their own rooms.
It didn't take me long to install the Gate, and when I finished we were back at Babylon Castle, I was with Yue while she was setting up her new room.
Yuuki: Hey, just to tell the maids, you can eat normal food or do you need, you know what.
Yue: Yes, I can eat normal food but occasionally I need a drink of blood.
Yuuki: and you need something specific, like a certain blood type or the blood of virgin women.
Yue: Nothing like that, but if I'm allowed to make a request, I'd like to taste your blood.
Yuuki: My blood?
Yue: Just being around you I know that your blood is something delicious, intoxicating even, the truth is I had to restrain myself many times from stealing a taste the other night.
Yue gave me a seductive look as she approached me and she showed her cute little fangs, my blood is not something I should just give to anyone, but Yue wasn't just anyone so I bared my neck for her.
Yuuki: ok, enjoy your meal then.
With my permission Yue buried her fangs in my neck, I didn't feel any pain from that the only thing I felt was the warmth of Yue's body that she was pressing against mine and when she was full she looked at me with a sweet smile.
Yue: umm I could get addicted to this.
