The Wish of the Dragon

Chapter 160: Side

"This humble one greets you." Casa the Goddess of Fate worshipped by the harpies who has an upper-body of a beautiful woman with feather hairs, and thousands of wings from her lower body and back kneeled before Issei and Tamamo.

She and her harpy subjects arrived at <Shangri-la> a day after their return.

Once she arrived at the border of <Shangri-la>, the Dragons informed Issei of her arrival.

Seeing that they don't seem to have any ill intentions, the Dragons and the land itself didn't attack them like the others who tried to sneak their way.

They're then brought to the front of the castle by the Dragons...

Casa told her harpy followers to stay put and don't make any trouble. Not that she needs to remind them since they're not stupid enough to cause any trouble when so many Dragons eyeing their each and every movement...

The harpies started trembling on the spot under the sheer pressure caused by the Dragons.

But when they saw Issei, they froze on the spot with their eyes widen to the maximum. Casa who's their Goddess also shares the same fate but she manages to snap out of it soon enough.

"You are?" Issei asked the kneeling woman before him.

"This humble one name is Casa, milord." She replied softly.

"A Goddess?" Tamamo who's standing beside Issei said with a calculating gaze after sensing the other party divine energy.

"Royal father? Who's the newcomer?" Setsuna who just finished ordering the new slaves asked once she arrived at Issei's side.

"Aha, good timing, Setsu-chan. Why don't you handle them?" Tamamo clapped and said with a smile.

"They are?" Setsuna set her gaze on Casa and her harpy followers: "That one is a Goddess... and those are harpies?"

"Um, they are harpies of this world." Tamamo nodded: "You can tell my daughter of your intention of coming here." She said towards the kneeling Casa.

"This humble one understands." Casa bowed her head respectfully before she continues speaking: "We came here hoping to be your followers. To be a part of your newly formed kingdom." She said submissively.

"...It's been less than a week ever since the emergence of <Shangri-la>... And seeing that there are no harpies settlement nearby, I find it hard to believe you could arrive in this place so quick..." Setsuna said after a bit of thinking.

Tamamo and Issei smiled at her cautiousness.

"Reporting, princess... The harpy tribe and their Goddess Casa original settlement were located on top of the highest mountain in the strict Central Mountain Range." One of the Dragons who are colored pure white said respectfully towards Setsuna.

"Oh?" Setsuna raised her eyebrows at this: "And how far is the distance between that place and <Shangri-la>?" She asked the same Dragon.

"If we were to fly non-stop at full speed then it will be around 2-3 days, princess." The Dragon said: "Of course, that kind of speed only applies to us Dragons while the other race might take a longer time to achieve the same speed. And from this humble subject knowledge, the harpies would need at least a week to arrive here from their territory."

"Is that so? Then do tell me how come you have already arrived here, Goddess Casa? From my calculation, you embarked on your way here almost at the same time when <Shangri-la> is first created..."

"I'm not trying to hide anything, your highness... This humble one is capable to predict the future a little bit... And on my vision, I 'witnessed' the creation of your majestic kingdom. Of course, I'm not conceited enough to think that I could foresee the future of you and your esteemed father unless I'm allowed to." Casa responded calmly.

Indeed, Issei played a little hand in this since he could sense Casa trying to look into their fate.

He let her witness the future fate of <Shangri-la> a tiny bit. He wanted to make use of her capability for Setsuna training. To further increase her intelligence and wits.

While having a subordinate that could foretell the future is good, that doesn't mean she should rely on them all the time. Fate is ever-changing and no one could tell for sure what would happen in the future...

Unless Issei himself actively tries to achieve that said future then it is completely unknown.

Setsuna could slightly predict her royal father's intention so she doesn't ask him about it.

"Hmm... A smart one ain't she." Setsuna smirked at Casa's words.

"...You want to immigrate here, you mean?" Setsuna mused to herself.

"Yes, you're correct, your highness," Casa replied.

"And what can you offer for this kingdom? What capabilities do you and your harpies have? Don't think just because you can foresee the future a little bit that would compensate as 'payment' for you and your followers." Setsuna asked.

"We could do a lot of things as long as you give us the chance, your highness..." Casa started to explain their usefulness while Issei and Tamamo only look at their interaction from the side.

"Huhu, Setsu-chan would be a splendid king, hubby. Isn't that great?" Tamamo chuckled.

Meanwhile, Issei has a little frown on his face.

"What's wrong, hubby? Aren't you happy?" Tamamo asked confusedly sensing her husband's little displeasure.

"I am happy... but..." Issei paused.

"But?"

"I want her to be free and unfettered instead of being bound to responsibilities... She just said 'for this kingdom' instead of 'for me'..." Issei muttered.

"Hmm, isn't that a great thing? That means she cares for her kingdom more than herself." Tamamo said.

"Perhaps... But I want her to be more selfish. It is the country and the people who should think of their King and not the other way around."

"That kind of ruling would make her look like a tyrant though?"

"That's fine... As long as they're happy and safe then it's fine... But that is also why I don't want any of our daughters to replace me as a King. Only me alone should handle the burden of being one, a tyrant... I want our daughters to live free and happy. If they wanted to be a King then so be it... but I will watch over them from the dark and I would erase anyone who tries to do them harm." Issei said seriously.

"...Even if it means you would have to kill millions of innocent lives?" Tamamo asked with narrowed eyes.

"Mm, I won't hesitate to dirty my hand with their blood if it means that I could keep our daughters safe and happy," Issei replied without hesitation.

"..." Tamamo went silent for a bit before she let out a happy giggle: "And this is why I love you so much, dear... Your 'selfishness' truly suits my taste. While others become selfish for their own self, your selfishness comes from your wish to protect your loved ones... But don't worry, hubby... We, your wives, won't let you carry the burden alone, we will share it with you. This Tamamo would gladly share your sins when the time comes." She said lovingly.

"...Um." Issei nodded after a brief pause.

"What's with the pause? Don't think you can 'trick' your way on this one..." Tamamo scoffed remembering the past where he tried to sacrifice himself for them: "We are your wives, hubby! Not some strangers! Let us share the same burden as husband and wife! Don't take us as an empty vase!" She said sternly.

"...My bad and sorry," Issei said with a wry smile.

"As long as you understand..." Tamamo went back to her cheerful self: "And you know, nobody really thought of you as a tyrant except a few exceptions. Your ruling so far has been fair and just, hubby."

"Is that so?"

"It is so."

The two of them then smiled at each other.

"..." Setsuna started thinking to herself once she finishes hearing Casa's offer.

"...Very well. I will give you a chance."

"Then we thank you for your benevolence and we greet our new ruler." Casa said happily and she signalled her harpy followers to pay their respect as well.

""We give our thanks to your highness!"" The harpies shouted at the same time.

"Remember, no attacking the humans on this kingdom or you will suffer the consequences." Setsuna reminded.

"We understand!"

And with that, <Shangri-la> received their new residents... The harpies would serve as a mailman, a messenger, a scout, a hunter, etc...

The slaves Setsuna brings with her mostly did fieldwork and some crafting for decoration and furniture and a few of them are quite skilled in building houses so they don't need to worry about their lodgings for long.

Setsuna would sometimes observe their work and also give some directions...

Once their own products have been grown, they would trade some things to the nearby city or settlement.

This chapter upload first at NovelUsb.Com

The other cities find trading with <Shangri-la> to be very beneficial since the merchant never needs to fear the attack of bandits and the like. Not surprising considering that their caravan is being escorted by a bonafide Dragon!

Any sane bandits would avoid provoking a Dragon...

The cities and settlements that are trading with <Shangri-la> would often go back and strike another deal with them, each and every day, new merchants would arrive in <Shangri-la>.

Whether it's from the human side or the demon side. They don't need to fear being attacked by the other party because of the rule in <Shangri-la>.

'There will be no social discrimination and whoever starts a fight would face a penalty.' Is one of the rules in <Shangri-la>.

At first, some try to ignore this rule and thought they could get away if they have enough 'witness' on their side but when the time comes, they realize that their attempt is futile...

The 'eyes' in the city are very many. And they consist of multiple races, starting from human, demon, fairies, dragons, and many more... So the crime rate in <Shangri-la> is almost non-existent.

And thus, <Shangri-la> become known to be the heavenly kingdom by many...

But all of this in return started affecting the faraway cities...

One of those said side effect being the bandits who would move to a different location since they can't gain any profit if they were to make a camp near <Shangri-la>. If anything they would become the hunted instead of the hunter!

And the merchants would also start to rarely visit other big cities knowing that they could get more profit in the cities situated near <Shangri-la>.

Hence, the economy of <Shangri-la> and its nearby city would rose while those who are far from it would decline...

The human king and the demon general would become frustrated at this... What can they do to reverse the situation? Unless they could somehow provide better treatment than <Shangri-la> or they could erase <Shangri-la> then it is completely impossible...

Not to mention erasing <Shangri-la>, they couldn't even get a spy in! Whenever their spy tried to enter the city, they would be apprehended almost instantly the moment they step their foot on the city.

They are at their wits end here...

Such development goes on for almost a month... In less than a month, <Shangri-la> established itself to be one of the top kingdoms in that world.

There are some Gods or Goddesses that would come visit <Shangri-la> and they tried to flaunt their authority only to get their ass handed to them in a silver plater right after...

The more law-abiding Gods and Goddesses caused a different kind of trouble though...

The male Gods trying to court Setsuna... They are met with Issei's iron fist since those Gods age is in the millions while Setsuna is only 14. Calling them a lolicon is an understatement at this point.

The Goddesses also tried to seduce Issei but Tamamo is blocking their advances.

"No thots shall encroach upon my hubby!" Is what she said to the Goddesses.

As for Rena... Needless to say that they're the worst of them all. She would come and try to visit every day but she would be blocked by the Dragons. She grows more and more frenzied each passing day that she couldn't satiate her desire...

As for her brother, Alphos... He's nowhere to be seen. Not even his mistresses know where did he go...

Ever since the day he got crippled, he disappeared. Some of the Gods know that Alphos encountered Issei but they're too afraid to ask him.

Not that Issei himself would know where Alphos go even if they ask him. He ordered Wo to toss him away to nowhere in particular after all.

"Kaa-chan, how about this? Is this good enough?" Setsuna asked Tamamo for advice about some documents that she needed to look into.

"Hmm~, it's good but you can exploit them more... Raise the tax they need to pay to 60% instead of 30%, Setsu-chan." Tamamo said.

"Is that okay? Won't it be too high?" Setsuna exclaimed.

"It's fine, they get the best protection there is and the chance of failure is practicaly zero. In fact, even if we asked for 70% instead then they would still agree." Tamamo smirked.

"...Understood." Setsuna nodded: "Minaris, bring these documents to the merchant guild."

"Yes, Master." Minaris, a black-haired rabbit beastmen with white rabbit ears and fluffy bunny tail wearing a maid outfit said respectfully.

"Rem, Ram. Is there anything else that needs to be reported?" Setsuna then asked her two personal assistance. They're the same oni twins that got reincarnated into this world.

"There is none, Setsuna-sama." Rem the blue-haired twin said.

"There are some Gods who wanted to meet you but his Majesty ordered us to refuse them." Ram the pink-haired oni said next.

"Royal father? Oh, I see..." Setsuna said understandingly.

"Fufu, your father truly dote on you and your sisters so much. He won't even let other men come close to you, Setsu-chan~" Tamamo teased.

"If royal father deems them unworthy to have an audience with then he must be right, whatever they're offering must be unimportant," Setsuna said with a thin smile adorning her face.

"Hmm, I wouldn't say that they simply wanted an 'audience' with you to offer 'something' but you're not completely wrong, I guess." Tamamo chuckled.

While she finds this act of her husband cute, she also thinks that those male Gods who tried to court their daughter is unworthy of her.

Want to court their daughter? Try to at least stand in her hubby's oppressive aura for five seconds, then we'll see...

"By the way, did you know where your father went, Setsu-chan?" Tamamo asked curiously since when she woke up from her bed this morning, he was nowhere to be seen.

Well... Saying that she woke up in the morning is not really correct... She overslept because of their passionate night the other day.

At last... After seducing him for a whole week, she finally succeeded...

"Oh, royal father received a call from Brynhildr nee-sa-, I mean okaa-sama not long ago," Setsuna informed and she almost called Brynhildr with her old nickname that she used in the past.

Brynhildr only recently become Issei's official wife after all. The reason for that is because the former is too shy to convey her true feelings and Issei himself doesn't want to rush her.

Only after a few push from Rossweisse that they finally become husband and wife...

"Ara? It's quite rare for her to call your father on her own like that... unless there are some emergencies? But that's not possible either since she's not the type who would ask for help so easily like that..." Tamamo started speculating on why she give their husband a call.

"No, it doesn't seem to be a dire situation or anything like that."

"Hmm, I wonder why did she give him a call..." Tamamo becomes increasingly curious.

"Whatever the reason is, they deserve some alone time together. I'm already content of royal father accompanying me for the last few weeks." Setsuna said.

"Aww, that's sweet of you, Setsu-chan." Tamamo laughed lightly.

Out of everyone, perhaps Brynhildr is the one wife who has the shortest time together with Issei and that's still because she's too shy.

While they're still chatting together, there's a knock coming from outside the room.

"Enter."

"Princess, the black-haired sage Suiouji Chiyuki wanted an audience with you." A woman clad in pure white reported. There's a pair of horns and a tail that could be seen from her back.

This woman is obviously a Dragon.

"Hm? That girl?" Setsuna remembered about the black haired girl who's in the hero's party.

It's been a while ever since she heard their name since because of Setsuna's appearance, the Demons now never really attack the humans anymore unless they're provoked first.

The reason for that is because Setsuna ordered the Dragons to annihilate the evil Demons.

Because of this, the 'Hero' title that Reiji have started to dwindle little by little... While they often face off against bandits, that act could hardly called as heroic considering the bandits never really considered a big threat for the human race as a whole.

"What did she want?" Setsuna asked the kneeling humanoid Dragon.

"She said it is urgent, princess."

"Hmm... Bring her to me."

A few seconds later, a haggard looking Chiyuki entered the room.

"...Please, help my friends..." She muttered helplessly the moment she laid her eyes on the grinning Tamamo and the calm faced Setsuna.

...

"Wh-Whatever you're saying, dear customer?" A woman with long, dark hair with long, parted locks in the front said while sweating a bit.

"Maybe you've mistaken us with someone else?" A man who has brown hair styled in a pompadour and a bulbous nose said next.

"Fufu, no need to be so defensive... I can smell the scent of your kind from miles away." Irene chuckled: "After all, me and my daughter came across your kind yesterday night."

The other customers who are normal humans started to feel unease hearing their conversation.

"...Our kind? What kind, dear customer?" The same woman from before asked once again while maintaining her strained smile.

"Hmm..." Irene narrowed her eyes before her eyes shone slightly: "Leave us."

In the next second, the human customers had a dazed look on their faces... They stood up from their seat and walked out of the shop silently.

The employees and the lone female customer who are left behind the shop tensed up at this sight.

What just happened?! Why did they suddenly leave the shop without saying a word!?

"Now let's talk, shall we?" Irene's voice brought them back from their confused state: "So I heard your kind is called <Ghoul>? Befitting name since you eat human flesh..."

"..." Seeing that feigning ignorance won't work anymore, they let out their respective bloodthirsty aura and also their unique organ.

"...Who are you two? How did you know about us?" The manager who looks like an old man asked with a tense expression.

"Hmm, so your 'organ' indeed varies from each other... Does gender have anything to do with its strength? Is it hereditary?" Irene said while ignoring the old man's question: "Well, I'm not really interested in the first place but a new discovery shouldn't be ignored no matter how weak they are..."

"You're just afraid of dad being angry at you, mom." Margit deadpanned.

"Oh, shush you... What your mom's afraid of is not your father's anger itself but rather because mom won't get her 'private' time with him." Irene snorted.

"Bah, you've got plenty of private with dad already! Last time the two of you went shopping together and didn't even tell me and nee-chan!" Margit pouted.

"It's not that kind of 'private' time but oh well..." Irene said with a smirk.

Seeing that they're being ignored, a tick mark appeared on top of the <Ghouls> head.

"Don't ignore us!" The purple-haired waitress from before shouted before her unique organ which is shaped like a phoenix's wing launched a bunch of 'feathers' at them both.

Irene didn't bother to do anything and the same goes for Margit.

The feathers disappeared into thin air before it could get close to their proximity.

"What?!" The waitress exclaimed in shock.

"No need to be so shocked. You're too weak to be a threat to us." Margit said in disdain: "You better stop attacking us or we will retaliate!" She threatened.

"You!"

"Touka! Stand back!" The old man said sternly.

"But!" The waitress who's called Touka gritted her teeth but ultimately followed the old man's order.

"Hmph! It's great that you know when to back off." Margit snorted at them.

"...May we know who are you two? Are you from the 'Doves'?" The old man asked cautiously.

He couldn't help but sweat looking at how casual Irene and Margit are even though they're surrounded by multiple S-class <Ghoul> like this.

If they're from the 'Doves' then... They are in great danger especially considering how they can easily 'block' Touka's attack just now.

"'Doves'? Ah, you mean the human police who are specialized going against your kind. The answer to that is no." Irene said calmly while stirring her coffee: "As for who we really are... Let's just say we're not human. Our real identity might be too hard to 'digest' for all of you." Irene chuckled at her joke.

"...Lame joke, mom." Margit said monotonously.

"Shuddup." Irene flicked her daughter's forehead.

"That hurts!" Margit teared up while holding her forehead.

"Hard? Uhh, I wonder about that... Just the fact that we're basically a monster who feast on human flesh is already terrifying enough... What could be more terrifying than us?" The young waiter with the bulbous nose said self-deprecatingly.

Most of them don't really take pride in what they are after all...

"Oh, maybe to the humans in this world you're very terrifying, but in my original homeland, you're at most can be considered a cannon fodder," Irene said simply.

"Your original homeland? Where is it if we might ask?" They asked curiously.

"Even if I told you, you will never be able to find it. Unless you have a space magic user in your ranks..."

"Magic? Magic like in the fairy tale?" Touka said mockingly. But in the next second, her words got stuck on her throat since Margit is currently playing with a fireball on top of her hand.

"You were saying?" Margit said with a mocking grin. She then proceeds to make the fireball float towards Touka terrifying the latter.

"Hot!" Touka hissed in pain since the fireball just touched her arm.

Seeing that she got the reaction that she wanted, Margit extinguished the fireball.

"..." They gulped audibly at this sight.

"As we said, our real identity might be hard for you to comprehend... Now then, I need some cooperation from all of you." Irene said.

"...Cooperation? And what might that be?" They asked nervously.

"I want to run some experiment with your body."

"...And if we refuse?"

"Simple! I'll just beat you up until you agree!" Margit crackled her fist with a playful grin and she also let out her oppressive aura which made them stiffen even further.

"..."

"So, your answer?" Irene asked with a refreshing smile.

"...We agree." They said begrudgingly... Like they have a choice in the first place!

"Splendid." Irene clapped.

'Splendid your head!' Is what all of them wanted to say but of course, they didn't dare to say it out loud...

"Hello, Aki? Are you, Ryouko, and Tearju free right now? I need your team to look into some things... It's nothing much, just a new race discovery. I want you to run a few tests on them to see if we could find anything interesting... Um, take your time. They're not going anywhere..." Irene took out her communication device and dialed Aki's group number...

"In the end, you called mother Aki's team to do the investigation..." Margit sighed.

"But of course, your mom here is not a scientist after all... Your mom here only solves problems with her fist." Irene said proudly.

"Well, it works so far so I can't really say anything about it... Oh well, in the end, me and big sis are also the same. Like mother like daughter I suppose... Although we wanted to be like dad more..."

"What was that?"

"Nothing..."

"That's what I thought."

...

Issei arrived at the designated location.

He looks around and immediately found Brynhildr sitting in front of a cafe shop looking all nervous but the person herself looks absolutely stunning.

She's wearing a one-piece black dress with a low cut on its side and her voluptuous breasts are accentuated even more with how tight that said dress is.

The amount of attention that she caused is a lot and there are already a few men that tried to approach her only to be met with her cold stare.

Sometimes, she only needs to show them her wedding ring to send them away but more often than not, those men ignored her ring and still tried to flirt with her.

The men who are rejected by her started to wait on the sideline wanting to see just who is the lucky man who could score such beauty.

The moment Issei arrived, they become dumbstruck and couldn't believe their eyes especially the women.

The men spat at his sight and the women swoon instead...

"Master." Brynhildr stood up from her seat to greet Issei.

"You don't need to be so respectful to me, you know?" Issei sweated.

"Oh, um." She nodded shyly.

"So what's the surprise?" Issei said with a smile when they both are seated: "And quite a place you pick here... Nero would've become jubilant if she's able to visit this city..." Issei said wryly thinking about his other wife.

If she were to come to this place then she would've laughed jubilantly.

"I..." She twiddled her fingers under the table: "..." Her lips open and close but no words come out.

"Mm? What was that?" Issei wryly smiled at her shyness.

"I... I..." She stuttered before she took a deep breath and shouted in a low voice: "I'm pregnant!"

"..." Issei's body froze before he finally responded: "Really?" He asked giddily.

Brynhildr gives a shy nod and then Issei lets out a happy laugh: "Hahaha..."

Despite already having so many children, Issei would always welcome another one with open arms... The happiness that he felt after all this time the moment he finds out that one of his wives would bore him another child never dwindles in the slightest.

"Great... This is great." He smiled happily before he proceeds to lift Brynhildr from across the table right into his embrace.

"Eep! M-Master?!" She yelped in surprise.

"My wife is pregnant!" He shouted in happiness making them attracting attention even more.

Seeing the childish smile he has made Brynhildr become entranced all over again.

The female onlookers become jealous of their sight... How great it would be if they could have a loving husband like that... And also as handsome as him... They added at the end.

"Why did you wait until now to tell me?" Issei said blamingly while holding her still.

"I-I wasn't sure and... and I don't know if you will be happy, Master..."

"Nonsense! Why won't I be happy when my beautiful wife is pregnant with my child!" Issei smushed their forehead against each other and look at her with a blaming look.

"I-I'm sorry..." Although she said that, Brynhildr couldn't keep the blissful smile on her face hidden.

She's so glad and happy seeing that the love of her life felt the same way as hers...

"Umm, excuse me, handsome brother and the beautiful lady over there." Suddenly a young handsome man in his middle twenties with well-built with spiky short blonde hair and dark blue eyes called out to the lovey-dovey husband and wife. He is wearing an unbuttoned blue shirt, grey pants, and sunglasses.

But he didn't receive any reply from them both... He's completely ignored.

They're too occupied with each other that they don't even notice this newcomer arrival.

"Oh, man... Being ignored like this sure hurts my feeling..." The man said while scratching his cheek.

It is unknown when but the onlookers who were surrounding both Issei and Brynhildr are nowhere to be seen.

In the next second, the man narrowed his eyes and let out a bloodthirsty aura...

*BANG!*

Only to get punched in the face by Issei.

"Hm?" Issei let out a confused voice before shrugging his shoulder. What did he just hit? A mosquito? Must be... He thought to himself...

He reflexively punched the idiot who couldn't read the air since he lets out a bloodthirsty aura. Issei didn't notice the young man even until now though...

It's his own fault for doing something so stupid, especially around his currently pregnant wife.

The young man who just received a knuckle sandwich from Issei has long already passed out. Thankfully Issei didn't use his full power or the man's body would've become dust...

*Roooaarrrr!!!*

"Hn? What's that?" Issei let out an annoyed voice seeing that there's a loud noise disturbing his time with his wife.

In the distance, they could see a rampaging giant boar.

"That's... A divine beast?" Brynhildr muttered.

"Oh?" Issei raised his eyebrows at the boar before he comes up with a splendid idea: "Divine beast? Perfect! Its meat would serve as some nutrients for you and our child."

"Ah?" Brynhildr blinked her eyes in shock after hearing his words.

"Wait here a bit. I'll serve you some roasted boar meat soon!" Issei put Brynhildr down before he locks onto the boar's giant figure.

He took out a sword and casually swung it in the boar's direction.

An invisible force swept across the city before it hit the boar's body which made it stopped its movement the moment the force come into contact with it.

In the next second, the boar's body is split in half right from the middle. And to make matter even more surprising, there's not a single drop of blood spilled from its huge body...

"Mm, now let's cook it," Issei said after he stored the boar's body into his inventory: "Let's not stay here for long and find a better place to continue our little date. The outside air in this place is not good for our baby." He said caringly towards Brynhildr.

He already makes sure to slow the time on Setsuna and the others side so he doesn't need to worry about them feeling lonely. He will take his time with this shy wife of his... It's been a while ever since they spent their time together.

Issei didn't care why the boar suddenly appeared here out of nowhere nor does he care about who owns it. What he knows is that this stupid pig disturbs him and his wife so it deserves to die...

"E-Eh? Y-Yes." They were on a date? Brynhildr thought confusingly to herself... Not that she minds though and if anything she's feeling happy instead.

While the two husband and wife continue their little date, the sudden disappearance of the giant boar made some people utterly dumbfounded. In particular, a beautiful young woman with blue eyes and long straight blond hair with a hint of red that reaches down to her lower back and she's also wearing a red dress with black stripes.

She's shocked to her core.

What the hell? How come the Divine Beast would suddenly cut in half when she just arrived at the scene to prevent it from completely destroying the city?

"M-Milord!" A man wearing a suit and glasses shouted in surprise seeing the fainted young man from before.

"That's..." The young woman becomes shocked once again seeing the unconscious young man. That young man is quite well-known and infamous especially since there are only 6 of his "kind" in this world.

"A 'Demon Lord' has been defeated? 'Him' out of all people?" She said with furrowed eyebrows.

Is there a Heretic God at work here? No, that much is obvious seeing from the giant boar's appearance... But which God are they dealing with here?

No matter what she needs to report it to the organization first.

On the very same day, the other "Demon Lord" becomes alarmed...

"...Someone manages to 'defeat' one of 'us' without anyone noticing their fight? Interesting..." A beautiful young woman with pale skin, black hair, a slender body with a full bosom and bottom, appearing to be in her late teens muttered to herself. She's also wearing a traditional Chinese clothes from the Han dynasty.

The fact that someone could defeat one of them is already surprising enough. Adding the fact that their 'battle' went unnoticed just makes it even more so...

She needs to find out just who's responsible for 'his' defeat. Perhaps this unknown person or God could provide her with some challenge...

"Yinghua." She called out.

"Yes, Master?" A black short-haired young man responded.

"I want you to investigate something for me..."
