Chapter 193 - 185: Soulbound Pact (1/2)
Quick Author's Note: So from the time the first arc ended until now and the couple of 18+ chapters to follow, this portion of the first world was an intermission of sorts, showing off more slice of life, training, marriage, and a couple of fights. Arc 2 will officially start after the 18+s end, when Nao begins his Time training with the Supreme Kai of Time. It will be split into Time Travel and the Tournament of Power. After that, world one will end, planning to wrap things up by chapter 250. Enjoy the chap!

”Hehe, bet you didn't expect me to wear a tux, did you, Nao?”
As Isabella said that, the other girls began to giggle. Isabella even did a twirl of her body, causing her b.r.e.a.s.ts to jiggle up and down, allowing Nao to have a full look of her current appearance. He really did like it after all, it's not every day you get to see a girl in a tuxedo, let alone a black one.
She ended her short showcase by caressing her bulged stomach. It was now a little over three years since she first conceived a child thanks to the time she spent in the Room of Spirit and Time with Nao.
While it was true they spent most of their time training and meditating, it's not like they didn't have s.e.x in there. Yet thankfully the two cleaned up their messes every time they did it. Otherwise Mr. Popo would have been in a world of hurt trying to clean up after them.
Anyways, Nao could only nod in confirmation to end his silence. Seeing this, Isabella smiled. She then walked up to him and gave him a kiss, before she wrapped her arms around his waist.
”Mmmhmm, this I was not expecting, Belle. You give off a different air seeing you like this, but I still find it lovable. The same goes for the rest of you. I'm truly blessed for this day to have come.”
”Aww, we're all just happy for you to be here, Brother Nao. We were all on edge seeing your duel but you managed to come out in one piece.”, Miya said.
”That's right. You really know how to make us both worried and excited. But that won't change for what is going to come tonight, Nao. Our hearts our ready for you to take us.”, Elsa said with a smile.
”It's exactly as as Sister Elsa said, Little Brother! I can even control this form now. Me showing it off is proof I belong to you now. My fur is ready for your pampering too.”
Once Sayuri said that, her cheeks became a deep red. She remembered the last time Nao rubbed her fur in a fervor during that special night back on Planet Earth, and she really wasn't ready then. But now she was!
Seeing this Nao nodded. Everyone soon turned their eyes toward Chelsea. Yet Chelsea remained dazed, as if she still didn't believe this was happening right now. Seeing this, Elsa grew worried and spoke out to her.
”Sister Chelsea, is something wrong? You're spacing out.”
”H-huh...?”
Once Chelsea said that only now did she realize everyone was looking at her. Her body froze up a bit. Thanks to how tight the Kimono wrapped around her body and that she wasn't used to wearing Geta, she started to tumble over.
Seeing this, Nao rushed right at her, and caught her in the process. He could feel Chelsea's warmth, and it was very hot right now, causing some worry to appear in his eyes.
””T-Thank you, Nao...”, Chelsea said meekly. That's right, you didn't read that wrong. She finally started to call him Nao, and not Naoto!
Hearing Chelsea say that, Nao became inwardly excited. He then supported her with one of his arms as he spoke out to her.
”Are you okay, Chelsea?”
”Y-Yes....this Kimono is just super tight is all. It's really hard to move around in. Plus I'm not used to wearing these shoes either. I'm sorry if I'm a burden to you right now. Even though I know how to fight and kill, I can't believe such clothing is restricting me.”
”You're not a burden, Chelsea! You're looking very pretty right now. I really love it. Is your appearance alluding to my past life?”
”You really like it? I'm glad I made the right choice then! And yes, I wanted to do something unique. I remembered in your past life you were raised by Japanese parents before our planet exploded, so I ended up going with this ”
”Wait a minute, did you say our planet blew up?”
Hearing this for the first time, Chelsea looked at him with confusion, before a light bulb lit up in her mind. She then proceeded to face palm her face.
”I'm sorry, I don't think I ever talked about that yet. It's indeed true, our planet perished not long after those massive earthquakes struck.”
”Is that so? I ended up losing my life during those earthquakes so I didn't know what happened later. Are you familiar with the golden door that appeared, Chelsea?”
”I am. All of us went through it and met the Old Man. That's how my trials in Babel Tower began not long after. My desire to see you again was really strong at the time.”
”Old Man?”
”Did you not meet him, Nao?”
”No. To be honest this is something I've been wanting to explain to you all. You'll all be with me from now on through bread and butter, so I don't want to keep this secret hidden any longer. It's fine to tell them, right, Miya?”
”It's up to you, Brother! But if you're okay with it then so am I! Besides, Rebirth has the Soulbound Function now, right? Are you wanting to activate it?”
”””Rebirth?”””, everyone but Nao, Miya, and Chelsea questioned.
Once everyone asked that, Nao nodded seriously. Not hiding it any longer, Nao finally told of Rebirth's existence to the girls, which shocked them greatly. They already learned prior that Nao and Miya weren't of this world. Now Nao had introduced Rebirth to them, which was a system that granted Nao power.
Ever since the nightmares began six years ago had he turned Rebirth off. But now he had wanted to activate it once more, and more specifically, the Soulbound Function. What Nao had yet to learn was that Rebirth was created by the Old Man Chelsea had personally interacted with. All he knew was that the creator was known as The President!
Rebirth was created during the Old Man's free time. It was only designed to help people reach higher heights and explore the Multiverse, just like he had once had. The Old Man is now retired, so he wanted to find a host for it, which ended up being Nao. Chelsea also became a second host of it, but she wanted to surprise him, so she hadn't told him yet. Only Miya knew!
The only downside was that Nao would have to reincarnate his own soul every time he wanted to explore a different world. After explaining to everyone about Rebirth, Nao decided to shut his eyes. Clearing his mind, he spoke out.
'Rebirth, please activate', Nao said deep within his mindscape.
[Acknowledged. Rebirth is now rebooting. Welcome back, host.]
Nao finally heard a mechanical voice ding inside his head, something he hadn't heard for a while. He then willed for the display to appear.
