<h4>Chapter 161: Dark Elf God</h4>


    Twelve ve.


    That phrase floated to my mind as I looked at the girls in front of me but it wasn’t that catchy so I forgot it soon after.


    Inside the Demon King’s Castle, the throne room.


    Unlike the Pce Residence we had constructed before, this waspletely a castle.


    For that reason the Throne Room was much more spacious and formal.


    I was seated on the throne with my twelve ves gathered to the sides.


    On the left Risha, Mira, Yuria, Lilia, Raisa, and Svena were lined up.


    On the right was Chasri, Irina, Vu, Arisa, Be, and Olga. (Note: I adjusted the names a bit.)


    They faced me lined up in order of when they became my ves.


    They were on either side of the red carpet that stretched to the end of the room.


    The sight felt right. I wondered if there wasn’t some word for what was going on here…


    Well forget about it.


    「Congrattions Master! Now there shouldn’t be anymore enemies who can pose a threat to you in this world.」


    Risha, my first ve and the one who had known me the longest said.


    「That’s how a viin would speak desuno…It’s not appropriate for Onii-chan.」


    My fourth ve Lilia said. Truly it was a pretty viinous way to put it.


    「Why not? Now that we don’t have any strong enemies it’s true.」


    「Unpreparedness is the greatest enemy. There are still, enemies amongst humans.」


    My second ve Mira followed up with a positive note while my third ve Yuria brought us back to reality.


    And so the twelve ves in front of me began speaking.


    I remembered a saying “3 women gathered together makes things noisy” (wow). Now that I had 4 times that amount it was certainly boisterous. It wasn’t a fitting thing for the formal area we were in.


    However it didn’t feel bad.


    My lovable ves were talking about so many things for my sake, there was no way it would feel bad.


    I simply sat on the throne and watched them.


    ************************************


    The Demon King’s Castle was connected by magic doors. The doors that only allowed me and my ves through.


    I had sent out my ves to make the rest of them but had stopped Svena.


    「Do you have any orders?」


    My sixth ve Svena.


    She was a gant and warrior-likedy.


    She had once been a member of the race known as Regrets.


    Regrets were Eternal ves who couldn’t find their Master before a certain age. ves who wanted to serve a Master yet couldn’t find one.


    In a sense they were a sorrowful race.


    Due to fortunate encounters she was able to return to her Eternal ve form and be mine.


    「Instead of an order I have something I’d like to hear from you.」


    「What is it?」


    「The Regret’s country. Tell me where it is.」


    「——」


    Svena’s breath caught in her throat.


    「Why……would you……」


    「……I think we have lost the method to turn them back into Eternal ves.」


    The one who had made them was the Evil God.


    Those killed by the Evil God’s methods became ve Beasts and if I killed those ve beasts they would turn back into Eternal ves.


    I told Svena this.


    However, the Evil God’s power was now sealed. In other words this would remove this method of turning them back into Eternal ves.


    When I realized that I felt half guilt and half wasteful.


    「I’d like to at least allow the Regrets to live withfort.」


    「……Thank you.」


    Svena was moved to tears.


    —Magic has been charged by 100,000—


    However, she still smiled.


    *****************************************


    Svena taught me where the Regrets lived.


    It’d been a while since I took independent action.


    The Regrets’ country contained power that rejected Eternal ves.


    None of them coulde with or meddle in the country.


    I understood this and set off on my own.


    It was fairly close to the Demon King’s Castle so I decided to depart from here.


    I left the castle and descended from my self-made hill.


    There I saw the Evil God.


    She was leaning her back against a tree and seemed to be waiting for me.


    「What’s up?」


    「I’lle with you.」


    「With me?」


    「You’re going to the Regret’s ce right? I’ll be useful.」


    「Why? Why would you be useful now that your power is sealed?」


    「Strange Child…haven’t you realized it yet?」


    「Hm?」


    「Rushaya gave you the Eternal ves. If just like that…I was the one who called you here then…?」


    「Rushaya……? The Goddess you mean?」


    The Evil God nodded.


    That’s fine…but what does she mean?


    …………………


    ——!


    It can’t be!


    「Regret?」


    「Smart boy」


    The Evil God said with a suggestive smile.


    「I am the one who gave birth to the Regrets, their God.」
