《A love so divine!》 Prologue: My former life Special thanks to arvid270 for proofreading this chapter. Prologue: My former life Kyoto Metropolitan Hospital, 26th May 2083 A woman with her legs on stirrups was in labor. Her beautiful face was contorted with pain, her cerulean eyes were gleaming with determination. Strands of her long straight raven hair were to her forehead with sweat. She was a rare sight to this time and age, as none of the women nowadays chose the natural way to give birth to a child. These days most of them would have chosen either the in vitro or the cesarean, yet this strong willed woman willingly chose this. On her left side holding her hand, was her husband his face pale. If it was due to the sight of his wife giving birth or of the herculean strength demonstrated by her during this time squeezing his hand almost to the point of breaking his fingers, no one could ever know, yet only worlds of encouragement came from his lips. ¡°You are almost there my love, just push one more time!¡± ¡°Just a little more Mrs Kurosawa!¡± the white head that appeared rising between her legs said. It was the doctor, but to be specific, not just any doctor, he was actually a professor to the medic school in Tokyo, a 75 year old man and currently the only one in Japan that still was capable of assisting in situations like these. The lights of the hospital were constantly flickering. The giant storm outside was a sight to be hold. Lightning in the sky caused the electrical power to go wild and it was at that time exactly that from this beautiful woman¡¯s lips came a determined wild yell, one might say that it was a cry of defiance against the heavens, but in truth it was the voice of a mother filled with determination to bring the beloved child in her womb out in the world and into her loving embrace. ¡°Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!¡± , she screamed both in pain but in delight as well, as her offspring finally came out, but her screams was mostly muffled by the booming sound of thunder. At this time all lights went black in Kyoto, including the hospital that the child was born in. The doctor who was still between the woman¡¯s legs had the experience and calmness of mind that even in the dark he did his job and got a hold of the baby. Yet, as soon as the lights came back on the reserve power generator kicked in and the doctor looked at the newborn in his arms, even him, the calm one, lost all color to his face. ¡°Akuma¡± he muttered upon laying eyes on the baby, that moments after birth opened its eyes to look at him. Twenty years later¡­. Hitoshi Kurosawa was a twenty year old Japanese high school student. He was born and raised in the city of Kyoto Japan. He would like to say that he was loved and respected by all, but unfortunately that was not the case. See, from the moment he was born, he was blessed (or truly unblessed according to him) with a serious case of a terrifying face. Dark brown and unruly hair, squinty hazel eyes casting what seemed an eternal glaring stare that could only belong to a villain and a sharp jaw was his more prominent characteristics. Still, his parents loved him as he was their first born and only child after years and years of trying to have a child and named him Hitoshi which meant even tempered, leveled. And that¡¯s what he was trying to be, while he was living with his loving parents, an even tempered and level headed child. They were his only safe haven after receiving all kind of crap from the rest of the world due to his face. But even that, the cruel fate had to take it away from him. Twelve years ago, when he was only 8 his parents died in an accident, after that it was the orphanage that took him in, but as all of us can guess, there was no one who would take in such an evil looking kid. In reality, he was a kind person, his parents had after all taught him not to harm anyone and ¡°turn the other cheek¡±, but after their death no matter how much he tried to, he couldn¡¯t avoid trouble. This narrative has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. If you see it on Amazon, please report it. His face, that of a villain, was like a magnet for all the scum of the earth to come. In his face they saw the top dog, the arch demon that all those wannabees heroes had to defeat, while others seeked to join his gang and take advantage of the fear he was able to cause to rule the area by his side. Even though he never did anything to provoke anyone, they still came at him, fists, kicks and all. Even though he didn¡¯t have a gang for them to join, as he was a solo guy (with people always targeting him, he didn¡¯t want to put anyone at risk) they still seeked him out to join him, only to be rejected by him and be beaten afterwards due to not taking no for an answer. So what was he supposed to do? Bend over and beg for the mercy of the ones provoking and attacking him? Hell no! He had done nothing wrong after all. So, from kindergarten to high school he fought, not to dominate (although he did) but just to survive. Thus the legend, circulating in all the high schools of Kyoto, as well in some other areas in Japan was created, that of the Bloody Dragon. Rumors were that he faced a gang of 50 students from Kyoto High on his own and at the end of the fight he was the only one standing, drenched in the blood of his enemies. Well, indeed something like that happened, but why the hell are those people exaggerating? It was not 50 people but 10 that he beat, but I guess from ear to ear what was once reality soon becomes an exaggeration and thus a legend is born. Today would be his 20th birthday, the day when he would finally graduate from high school , since he had to repeat two years due to unfortunate events such as expulsions caused by beating one of the teachers that was harassing female students, beating the football, basketball, baseball-hell any team that tried to recruit him using violence, etc- and the day, when he would finally leave the orphanage as he was already an adult and he could no longer stay there. He was walking the road from the orphanage to his high school, Kyoto¡¯s 12th Public High School, as he always thought that walking was a great exercise and he could enjoy the great scenery while doing so, that is, all those pretty schoolgirls with their tightly fitting school uniforms, their short skirts blowing in the wind¡­. Ah! The spring had come! The sakura trees were in full blossom with their rose petals and the sweet aroma that they were transmitting in the air, only made him feel happier and happier. Today judging from the weather alone would be a fine day. He was going to graduate. After that, according to his plans he was going to find a job (the orphanage¡¯s management was kind enough to provide him with some job offers), get his own apartment and finally, finally, finally, possibly get a girlfriend! Due to his nickname ¡°Bloody Dragon¡± and the reputation proceeding him, not only none of his female classmates, but really none of all the female high schoolgirls and it wouldn¡¯t be an exaggeration to say none of the female population in Kyoto was willing to approach him. So, at the age of 20 he was still without a girlfriend and woefully inexperienced in the art of making love. It¡¯s not that he hadn¡¯t tried to approach the female population at all. After all, which healthy young boy could ever say that he hadn¡¯t tried to get a girlfriend? Alas, so far all of his advances were rejected. He had approached many of his pretty female schoolmates saying ¡°Please go out with me!¡±, only to have the said girls running away screaming ¡°The Bloody Dragon asked me to duel with him!¡± and the rest of their friends whispering ¡°Wow, the Bloody Dragon¡¯s thirst for blood knows no limits, he¡¯s even after the girls!¡±¡­.. ¡°But all of that is going to change after today¡± he told himself, pumping his fist in the air and thus causing the two females that were walking silently behind him, to cross the road running while whispering amongst themselves about getting away from the creepy guy. But boy, was he ever wrong on that! Chapter 1: My death Chapter 1 : My death An approximate distance of 50 meters was separating Hitoshi from the school gates, when he saw a couple guys from the baseball team approaching him with their baseballs bats on hand. ¡°Senpai! We have come to give you our farewell for your graduation! Who knew that the Bloody Dragon would finally graduate? Well the former kaichou of our team told us all to come and make sure that you end up in the graduation ceremony in one piece¡­not!¡± The smirk on that kid¡¯s face really made his blood boil, but what really ticked him off is that, that douchebag of a kaichou of the baseball club dare to send those 25 freshmen of his to toughen him up on his graduation day! Yes this was his day, his graduation day, the day that all his plans were to be set in motion! But who was Hitoshi? Was he someone that someone could mess up with and go unharmed? Hell no! ¡°My beloved kouhais, let this sempai thank you accordingly before he graduates. Let this sempai say to you a few words of wisdom before he graduates¡± he said with a smirk while cracking his knuckles and then I roared: ¡°You punks are a hundred years too early to come at me on my day. No one is going to mess with my plans!¡± All of them were startled but their train of thought was common ¡°This guy¡¯s plans? What can they be? World domination?¡± Meanwhile the kid who greeted Hitoshi was the first one to come out of his stupor and shout at his friends ¡°What are you guys standing there? Get him!¡± The first one to rush at Hitoshi, he side stepped and tripped him, ending with him falling on the pavement on his face and breaking his nose. The second one, he grabbed his bat and after that, all hell broke loose. Broken arms, broken legs and of course noses were the result of this impromptu little ambush of theirs. Out of the 25 suicidal members, cause that¡¯s the only way Hitoshi could describe someone who would date to mess up with him, 24 were on the floor, groaning due to the injuries they have sustained from his attacks. If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. Hitoshi thought happily ¡°I guess my high school won¡¯t have a baseball club after I graduate¡­¡± Needless to say, the little prick, their little leader and the ¡°adorable¡± kouhai who told him that the former kaichou of the baseball team ordered for his attack was still standing, although barely. His legs were trembling and his hands that before were so confidently wielding his baseball bat, were now shaking. Slowly, but confidently, Hitoshi approached him, while spinning leisurely the baseball bat in my hands. The fear in his eyes was clear to see as he was back stepping away from him, trying to put distance between them. His steps were leading him away from the one nicknamed "Bloody Dragon", from the safety of the pavement they were on and onto the road. A truck was going to hit him but his eyes were only focused on Hitoshi! The damn moron was going to die and he wasn¡¯t even aware of it! Not really thinking about it, Hitoshi rushed to him and pushed him out of the truck¡¯s way. Unfortunately, he couldn¡¯t get away from danger fast enough and the truck collided with him. Hitoshi briefly sensed tremendous pain as the truck hit him. He heard his bones break and he could taste the metallic taste of blood in his mouth. As his body laid down broken on the street the last thing he heard before submerging into darkness was that little prick screaming with joy ¡°You got what you deserved!¡± With the last of his remaining strength all he could do was raise his middle finger to him and to whoever one was responsible for this, while thinking as the light in his eyes was slowly fading: ¡°No good deed is left unpunished!¡± Chapter 2: Waiting in good company Chapter 2: Waiting in good company! Utter and complete darkness surrounded me. Let me tell you one thing though. All these stuff about seeing your life passing through your eyes, the moment you die are, complete bullshit!!!! I don¡¯t know if it is only me saying this, but I didn¡¯t see anything! No happy moments, which besides the time spent with my parents there were none, no sad moments, which I had plenty of those, no¡­..NADA! Just darkness all around me. It¡¯s as if, my life¡¯s movie, didn¡¯t have any worthy scenes for me to watch. Well, in that black abyss that I was immersed into, all I could think of was, that this is it. I¡¯m dead and I will finally find my rest in peace, away from all those morons who took it upon themselves to bring me down. My only remorse was that, during the brief time that I had been alive, aka during these twenty years, besides my parents there hasn¡¯t been anyone else to see past my appearance and truly love me. I had no friends, no academic achievements. Truly nothing to show for myself, besides of course being one hell of a fighter. Yet, considering the reputation my outstanding fighting skills had managed to produce and judging by my recent death, could that be considered as something worth bragging for? There were two things amidst this mess that made me feel better though, enough to bring a smile on my face¡­.one , I still died undefeated and two, it took a truck to bring me down! As I was waiting in the darkness smiling to myself, suddenly a bright light surrounded me, dissolving the darkness. As my surroundings began to become clear, I saw that I was in a white room filled with desks and chairs. It was like some sort of a company¡¯s office. The floor consisted of polished white marble, the walls were bare from any paintings or decorations. The only pieces of furniture in the room where the desks and chairs, with the chairs having strange markings on the back of them, as well as a few sofas in the front part of this huge room that seemed positioned there to be used by the people temporarily waiting for their turn. Currently all the desks were occupied, on one side of the desk beings dressed in white were processing the data of the persons in front of them. I called them beings because even though they looked exactly like humans there was some aura surrounding each and every one of them, an aura that would make one conclude that were not simple humans like me and you, but something completely different, something divine. ¡°Huh, these might be the ones that will judge us or whatever¡± is what I told myself. It was quite easy to differentiate those beings from the rest of us dead here, as all of them wore white, had an aura of superiority and were the ones who were using that gizmo that looked like an old IBM PC. It makes one wonder what sort of software they were using¡­ They were looking pretty serious and hard working, so I thought not to wait, but just ask one of them, what the hell is going on in here. As such, I approached the desk closer to me. A fat looking man was occupying that desk, clicking and clicking while the occupant of the chair in front of him, was just patiently waiting for his judgment, on whether he would go to heaven or hell, to be delivered. I coughed a bit and said ¡°Excuse me¡±. No reply though came from the fatty. I leaned in and snuck a peak on his monitor. What I saw left me speechless. The year I died was 2103 and the software they were using was something out of the story books I¡¯ ve read in high school, the legendary ¡°WINDOWS XP¡±. Dumbfounded as I was, due to their technological inadvance, what irked me more was the fact that all those clickings that fatty was making, was for the solitaire he was playing. I was truly impressed! He seemed to be playing it in hard mode, but that was not the case here, he was supposed to be working! ¡°Oy fatty! Drop the solitaire for a minute and explain what¡¯s going on here!¡± I screamed. Finally, the fatty acknowledged my presence and without even moving his eyes from the screen told me ¡°Pick a number from the machine over there and wait for your turn. And thank you for you patience ¡­sir!¡± Unauthorized reproduction: this story has been taken without approval. Report sightings. Fuming, I turned my gaze and for the first time I realized that there was indedd a machine with just one button . I stepped away from him and pressed the button on the so called machine of theirs. A small card came out and on it there was the number ¡°666¡± . ¡°You¡¯ ve got to be shitting me I yelled! I have to wait for 555 people, till it¡¯s my turn?¡±. I said after also taking notice of the screen hanging from the ceiling displaying the number 111. For once, I didn¡¯t even notice that even the system here was treating me like a demonic presence, by giving me the number 666 and just focused on the fact that I would have to wait. Patience obviously was not a virtue I possessed, yet I was not insane enough to create mayhem in here. ¡°Nothing else to do than suck it up and wait¡± I said to myself and went on to what seemed to be the waiting area and took a sit on the sofa, with several other people around me waiting for their turns. Between those of us ¡°outstanding individuals if I may say so¡± were a priest, a weird looking black guy with a bone ring passing trough his nostrils and a monofrail (damn and I thought I was ugly!) and a sexy looking redhead. Oh, this woman was so fine! Tall around 1.85 (hmm a bit too tall for a woman but she could always be one of those models), long red hair, curvy in all the right places, with breasts around 32C and beautiful blue eyes. She was wearing a red dress showing enough cleavage that even the priest next to me, couldn¡¯t help but focus his holy gaze on them. I couldn¡¯t help but roam my gaze on her body, from head to toe. I was appreciating her beautiful features, finally focusing my eyes on her beautiful neck and her¡­.. adam¡¯s apple. Wait what? I know in biology I wasn¡¯t exactly good, but I¡¯m pretty sure only guys had those¡­. ¡°Oy, you redhead! Are you a guy?¡± ¡°Yes got a problem dude?¡± said the redhead with a deep voice like a truck driver who used to smoke 3 packs of Mal*oro per day. ¡°No problem with me Ma¡¯am¡± ¡°It¡¯s not Ma¡¯am! It¡¯s Miss! I am still single, you know! In case you are interested¡­¡± ¡° Oh, I¡¯m sorry, but I have a girlfriend¡± I said lying my ass off, only to continue, ¡°But I think the priest right there might be¡­that is interested in you¡± I said with a wink. With that the attention of the redhead was away from me and onto the priest. ¡° May god have mercy on your soul, cause I didn¡¯t!¡± I thought as I left my seat so that the redhead could sit next to him. The last thing I heard from the pale face of the priest was a shriek ¡° Please, I have sworn to abstinence!¡± Washing my hands clean of those two, my attention was onto the weird looking black guy with the bone ring passing trough his nostrils and the monofrail. His torso was naked and his lower parts were covered with a grass skirt. ¡°Hmm, I guess they deal with people from all around the world here¡±, I thought. ¡°So mate, what are you here for?¡± I asked him, being curious. ¡°Buga, nooga, mooga¡± he replied ¡°Yeap, thought so¡­ we couldn¡¯t understand each other¡± Still I had plenty of time to kill till my number came up, so, I tried to communicate with him using hand motions. After what seemed ages, I managed to finally understand, that this guy was a simple doll collector, living happily in the jungle, when some vicious white people tried to take away his doll collection. The nerve of those guys! He was even kind enough to take out and show me one of his dolls¡¯ head, which somehow he had tucked away under his skirt¡­.. I was not even going to touch that thing, but not to be disrespectful I took a look on the doll¡¯s head, in order to show him my appreciation for his handmanship. ¡°Hmm, this doll¡¯s head is very well made, it looks like skin¡­¡­Wtf! This is not a doll it¡¯s a freaking shrunken head!¡±. With a pale face I stood up and went to the desk that had just called my number, ¡°666¡±! Chapter 3: Meeting the higher ups Chapter 3: Meeting the higher ups Finally my number was called: ¡°Number 666!¡± ¡°Oh look who is it! It¡¯s the fatty!¡± I thought while approaching his desk. ¡°Hello, fatty, long time no see!¡± I greeted amicably the fat guy sitting behind the desk, as I sat before him. He had long blond hair, a round face with rosy cheeks (probably from stuffing food in them), golden eyes, and he was wearing a long white robe with gold buttons that seemed ready to burst and kill the one sitting in front of him¡­who was at the time me! ¡°666! A fitting number for someone like you¡­sir.¡± was his reply to my heartfelt greeting. ¡°Oy piggy, what are you getting at? Do you mean, I look like a demon?¡± ¡°Fufufu, it was your words sir, not mine. And I would strictly advise you to not call me piggy or fatty. The name is Gabriel, archangel and director of this humble establishment. I am the one who will pass judgment on you Mr Hitoshi Kurosawa. Let me check what we have on you from our data.¡± ¡°Oy Gabby! I hope you are not going to start a new game of solitaire again right? I am in a hurry, I have to go for my graduation ceremony!¡± I said even though I was suspecting I was dead but still hoping that all of this might as well be a dream. His once rosy cheeks lost all color, as he was looking at his monitor. ¡°Ehem, there seems to be a problem¡­.Wait here please, I have to call one of the Administrators.¡± With that, puff (sfx for vanishing), he was gone without leaving me the time to even say anything. A couple of minutes later, he was back with one hell of a hot babe. She was tall as much as me, well maybe a couple of inches shorter, at about 1.80 m, long blonde hair that were tied neatly into a ponytail reaching all the way just above her glorious buttocks. Her slender body was accentuated by two modest breasts, and her eyes were golden as all the rest of the employees here were. She was adorning a smile showing off her pearly white teeth when turning to address me, but that smile didn¡¯t reach her beautiful eyes, it was as fake as the so called ¡°beauty¡± redhead I met in the waiting area. Thinking about that, I wonder if the priest is okay¡­well not my business anyway. ¡°Mr Hitoshi Kurosawa, it¡¯s such a pleasure to finally meet the legendary ¡°Bloody Dragon¡±. I winced at the nickname that has caused me so much troubles and sorrow in my 20 years of life, as well turn my hopes of getting a girlfriend while I was alive, to dust. Realizing that the blonde was only here in order to sugar coat whatever they were going to tell me, I addressed her. ¡°Blondie, cut the crap and get to the case! What¡¯s going on, why am I here? Am I dead? ¡± ¡° Mr Kurosawa. This place here is called the Purgatory. I know that you might were expecting the Purgatory to look like something else, but as you can see this is not the case. Here what we do, is process all the recently deceased¡¯s data on how they carried themselves while they were alive. Simply speaking, we count the good deeds against the sins that people have committed during their life. If the good deeds surpass their sins then they are transported to heaven, if not then it¡¯s going to be hell for them.¡± ¡°Okay, then what am I doing here? Hurry up and move me to Hell or Heaven. Although I must warn you, I will only accept Heaven as I have done nothing wrong during my life. Sure, I might have broken a couple of noses, legs, hands, cracked a few heads and bones here and there, but nobody died and all those who came at me truly deserved what they got.¡± I said angrily ¡°The problem is we can¡¯t decide where to send you Mr Kurosawa. It seems that your good deeds and your sins are completely balanced. And¡­ well you were not supposed to appear for judgement till you were 87 years old¡± ¡°What! Does this mean I was not supposed to die today? Does this mean it was all your mistake? If so, then hurry up and teleport me where I was! I still have my graduation ceremony to attend to!¡± I shouted at her, while in the corner of my eyes I could see fatty, archangel Gabriel, typing a storm and clicking frantically in his computer. ¡°Damn that fatty is a game addict and with solitaire to boot!¡± is what I thought. ¡°I¡¯m truly sorry Mr Kurosawa, but that is not possible. While you were here, your body was cremated. We cannot return you to your original body. But before you yell at me, let me inform you of the good news! As a way of apologizing to you we will transfer your soul to a new body, a body truly strong and magnificent. One that will fit you perfectly!¡± If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen from Royal Road. Please report it. My brows furrowed in concentration as I took in all that she told me. That wouldn¡¯t be so bad right? A clean start without the chick repellant title of the Bloody Dragon, a new body strong and magnificent one that would suit me perfectly? And magnificent that means I was going to be handsome right? Shaking my head, I said: ¡°No, no, no what¡¯s the catch? Blondie what are you hiding? Tell me more about this soul transfer you are speaking of, my mama raised no fool!¡± was what I declared. ¡°Fufufu, you are truly smart aren¡¯t you? Well, this body we are talking about where your soul will be transferred is not in your world, as unfortunately we don¡¯t have any vacant places to put you in. But fear not, it¡¯s actually in a parallel world to the one you were until recently leaving. That world is called Gaia, it is inhabited by many races. For example there are humans there, elves, dwarves, beastmen and many demis which are the outcome of interracial love between the races. I will not bore you with mentioning all the races as there are still many species and races to be recorded. What I will tell you though is that you will get the body of someone who is well respected by the people of his race, a nobility of some sort, you will not have to bother yourself with lodging, as that person already had his own. You will have power unmatched, second to only the king himself and many surbordinates that will tend to your every need! ¡° Sounds good to me! But what about Gaia, what else can you tell me about it? Do they have the technology we used to have on earth? And most importantly am I going to get a girlfriend?¡± ¡°Alas, we cannot give you an answer on the girlfriend thing. Love is a really complicated thing, you cannot make someone fall in love with you, as everyone has their own free will. The matters of the heart in the end, are still matters of the heart and as such, no one even the gods of Gaia can do anything about it. Although, sometimes they tend to meddle themselves in favor of love or against it. It all depends on their whims. But worry not! You will be considered very handsome among your race! Females will seek you out to mate with you. That I can guarantee!¡±. She said smiling. Finally, finally, finally I was going to get a girlfriend! I almost pumped my fist in the air after hearing all that, completely missing the evil smile that appeared briefly on the blondies face. ¡°Hm, about the deities you mentioned before¡­?¡± I asked her again, keeping up my cool fa?ade, although I was anxious about getting over this stuff and getting on with my new life. ¡°Before you ask me, yes there are many deities in Gaia. But I will let you find more about them when you get there. I wouldn¡¯t want to hinder your progress in Gaia by laying out all the information. There are things you have to find for yourself. As for your question about technology in that world, I would say that its similar to Medieval Earth, you will not find computers or other stuff like that, but what truly makes it unique is that there is magic and you sir are going to be able to use some of the most powerful spells that exist there.¡± ¡° Okay, I agree to the whole soul transfer thingy. Let¡¯s get this show on the road! Transfer me!¡± I yelled no longer able to hide my excitement. The blondie after hearing my declaration smiled for the first time. The smile she gave me was a genuine one. She couldn¡¯t hide her delight and her golden eyes seemed as bright as the sun. With a nod she signaled fatty Gabby to start the procedure. A small vortex appeared on the white marble floor beneath my chair that was beginning to increase in size, ready to swallow me and transfer me to my new world. Still, I had just realized that I didn¡¯t ask her one very crucial question. So, seconds before the vortex was at full size I asked her: ¡°Hey! I forgot to ask. What race am I going to be? And what¡¯s your name?¡± ¡°Ho,ho,ho, but of course the only race that could ever fit one as fine as yourself! Demon!¡± she said in obvious delight! As the vortex was sucking me in, my eyes were on her, I was screaming all sort of obscenities and threats at her ¡°I will crash your bones and suck your marrow! You f*cking blond¡± Last thing I heard and saw before I completely left that place was: ¡°Fufufu, you¡¯re truly a Demon General. I salute you! And by the way, the name is LOKI!¡± with that, her image of a hot, blonde babe came crushing down and in her place an old geezer stood with goats horns on his forehead, as for the rest of his features, I couldn¡¯t see them as the vortex closed. Chapter 4: I was scammed Chapter 4: I was scammed! Some 50 years later¡­.. ¡°Damn, damn and¡­ oh yeah, damn you Loki!¡± was the first things that left my lips, as I once again gazed back at my reflection on the mirror on the wall. That was my morning routine. Every time I woke up I would go stand in front of the mirror, gaze at my face and curse the trickster god for tricking me. I was currently in the room of my new home. Well, to call it a home would be the overstatement of the century! I was in the depths of a foul smelling dungeon. My current appearance was that of a Demon, but better explain how I looked as not all demons look the same in this world. I still maintained my previous height at 1.90 m. I was not fat, but neither could I be considered skinny. I suppose that the best way to describe my body would be to say that I looked slender, but with a bit of muscles, that were quite prominent on my sleeveless long black robe. I had long silver hair, that fell loose and covered the left of my eyes. My once brown eyes were now the color of bloody red, and my ears were pointy, like almost those of an elf¡¯s. My skin tone had completely changed, the tanned bronze color that I had gained after endless fights with delinquents under the scorching sun, was long gone, only to be replaced by an eerily pale white. All and all, I looked pretty human, mostly like a walking corpse if not for my glowing red eyes and the 2 horns that were currently sitting above my forehead. These horns that were mostly black in color, had a silver gloss on them, a color that I later found out signified my high position in the demonic hierarchy. Yes, Loki was telling the truth when he said that I would get the body of someone who is well respected by the people of his race, a nobility of some sort, and that I wouldn¡¯t have to bother with lodging. But a room in a freaking dungeon? A demon with an appearance like that and to boost a Demon General? That¡¯s not what I had in mind at all!!! Even my former appearance that was enough for people to consider me like an evil delinquent was nothing compared to this. This sort of appearance even me looking back at it would consider the one having this face as a threat towards humanity. And don¡¯t even get me started on the girlfriend thing! I was considered one of the most eligible bachelors in the Demon World, since according to all the female demonic population I had a good job, my own home, many subordinates (minions) and I was ranked no 2 in the demons race rankings, only second to the Demon King! Furthermore, according to the female demonic population I was considered handsome and quite a catch as their criteria for a good husband was the scarier he is the merrier. Needless to say, hordes and hordes of females of the demonic race came after me to mate me! You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version. But not just any female only the cr¨¨me de la cr¨¨me came after me, aka the most powerful scary, and ugly of them. Among many others, Medusa came (she¡¯s currently decorating as a statue the grand hall I¡¯m supposed to stay guard), the Queen of sirens came (I had to send my subordinates to get new porcelain plates and glassware, since she broke them all, after I told her I was not interested), Lamia came (I had to throw a dissolving pill into the river that surpassed the dungeon and promise to marry her when she retrieved it, in order to get rid of her), Baba Yaba (that old fart who was thousands of years old with wrinkles all over her face still gives me nightmares). Every day was a battle to preserve my chastity! These women were after my most precious treasure, my virginity and let me tell you that they didn¡¯t easily take no for an answer! Luckily, with my wits (as well as by force), I had managed to avoid all of their advances. Although ¡­ I still have the door to my bedroom barricaded, cause you never know what can happen right? Yet, all of my actions and interactions with the above famous ¡°ladies¡± and pillars of the demonic world, only caused more rumors to sprout about me. Such as that only the strongest one would be able to become my wife, or that me and Demon King were ¡­.ehem, into each other. I still don¡¯t know what or who gave rouse to this rumor, since me and the Demon King only met for a few brief times during these last 50 years, which by me is totally fine since any further interaction with him might be able to make him realize that I was actually not the Demon General he used to know. I was miserable beyond belief when I first arrived in this body. Not only did I still maintain the title of Bloody Dragon, as that title was most frequently used when addressing me, there were also all those women as well as men (some of them which were lured by my yaoi reputation and some that simply wanted to take my position as General) that I had to constantly watch both my front and my back all the time (my ass was on the line here!). It was obvious that this Demon General was quite popular with the demonic population. Although, the yaoi rumor concerning me and the Demon King only started after I came to this world and changed my subordinates which is kind of strange¡­. ¡°I was totally scammed by that fake blonde who was in fact a geezer. Seriously, what was wrong with every male in the purgatory! Were they all crossdressers? I guess I should have known when dealing with the blonde that something wasn¡¯t right. No blonde is so smart! While I was busy checking her ¡°goods¡± (booty, breasts and face in the correct order if I may so!) she was busy weaving her intricate web of lies, truly a femme fatale and if I will ever come across her or better say HIM again I will make sure to take his crown jewels with me so that he will truly become a ¡°she¡±.¡± I muttered to myself while looking back at my reflection. Chapter 5: My splendid subordinates and a rigged game Chapter 5: My splendid subordinates and a rigged game I was currently in the living quarters of the dungeon. This dungeon was located under the mountain of Athos in the Demonic Kingdom of Villainia. As I have learned after my arrival here from a map in the Demon General¡¯s room was that the World of Gaia was currently divided into four kingdoms. To the middle there was our Kingdom, the Demonic Kingdom, Villainia. To the South you had the human Kingdom called Aeterna. To the East was the Elven Kindom called Selenia and to the West you had the dwarven kingdom Hammerlin. But what about the North some might ask. Well the north was depicted in the map that I have studied under the name of Frozen Lands. Mysteriously enough there was only a faint symbol marking what seemed to be a city. Yet, no name was written for this city. Anyway right now, it¡¯s a slow Saturday night. No invasion from any race to try and harm our King and I am currently sitting at a table by the fireplace playing cards with my loyal surbordinates, which by the way I am proud to say I had hand picked by myself. On my right, I have Nico. His full name was Nicolas Romanov, he looks like a 30 year old human male but he¡¯s actually an incubus. What¡¯s an incubus one might ask? Well, as I have read in one of the books found in my room an incubus is a demon male who lies upon sleepers, especially women, in order to engage in sexual activity with them and suck their life force. He has short silver hair, much like mine, though mine are long, a handsome face with dark blue eyes, pointy ears similar to those of an elf , and a tall slender body although slightly shorter that my own. He appears to be at what a human would call the age of 30. He is a handsome guy, even though his skin color was a bit on the pale side. I must admit that because of his looks, I was jealous of him at first, but after truly getting to know him I liked the guy and even pitied him for ending up with a wife like that. As for the aforementioned wife , well¡­ she is currently sitting across me at the table. Right now, she¡¯s sporting a long midnight black dress, with an abysmal d¨¦colletage, one that would make even a priest to forget his vows and denounce all his religious beliefs (and that¡¯s true as I¡¯ve seen it happen on a raid 20 years ago when some wannabees heroes came in order to kill the Demon King) What happened after that you ask? Well, let¡¯s just say that without a priest there was nothing the heroes could do but die a swift and merciful death in the hands of her husband Nico. I didn¡¯t even lift a finger in that confrontation and yet all of them were killed, but I guess it was some sort of divine retribution for those guys lusting this femme fatale that so happened to be the aforementioned wife of this guy. Nico might seem as a cool and gentle guy but he can get insanely jealous as well. So, let¡¯s get back to describing this femme fatale that is currently sitting across me. As I was saying, she¡¯s beautiful with 36D breasts, red long straight hair reaching all the way to her back, just a bit curly at the end as if to highlight her glorious behind that briefly reminded me of a classic song I once heard during my time on Earth ¡°Anaconda¡± I think was the name? Truly, she had a voluptuous body, even though she was a bit on the short side at 1.65 m tall. She was a true little spit fire, a succubus and she had the exact same goals as her husband, with the only difference being that her targets were all male. Her name when she was alive was Nicolette Scarlet and she was a noble, at least that¡¯s what she keeps telling me when she demands for me to call her ¡°Dutchess Nicolette¡± instead of Niki. Needless to say, she stopped making any demands after threatening her that I was going to transfer her husband to an affiliate dungeon on the Human Kingdom. The thought of not getting any, cleared any misconceptions on her part about who was boss! Last but not least, on my left I have a true nobility¡­not! On my left, a small kid around the age of 12 is sitting. This tale has been unlawfully lifted without the author''s consent. Report any appearances on Amazon. He¡¯s currently trying to take a peak with his eyeglasses to my cards. His alleged name was Prince Vlad the 3rd, a former noble in the Humans kingdom 300 years ago with a vast fortune and thousands acres of lands and villagers under his command. That was what he said to me at least the first time I met him, after I had released him from a necklace that an ex hero (I think it might be the wizard though I¡¯m not good with faces, basically I block out of my memory anyone I deem unworthy) 20 years ago accidentally, after decapitating being killed that is, dropped. The little prince (sarcastically saying his title as in no way did he have any cuteness on him after opening his mouth) which as soon as I saw him named him Harry Porker was also a demon and to specific he was a vampire. Why I gave him that name some might ask? Well the reason is simple¡­ when I was still in high school I saw the classic movie of a short black haired guy wearing eyeglasses dressed in a black robe and casting spells. His name was something like that I think, but seeing as the one sitting next to me is always eating like a pig and has puffy cheeks, I found the last name Porker fitting. Although he didn¡¯t like it at first after two weeks of no food he learned to like it very much! Some might think that a short chubby 12 year old with eyeglasses on his black eyes, puffy cheeks and a long robe reaching to his feet sweeping the floor might be cute, but boy are you wrong! Once this guy opens his mouth the things that come out would put a truck driver to shame. Such vulgarity I never knew that it existed! Some would be shocked to ever hear a young boy like him swear like that, but I have grew accustomed to him, after all he was 300 years old! Currently he¡¯s sipping a bloody mary, a drink prepared by yours truly, which he was delighted to try for the first time I have prepared that for him, saying something about reminding him of the glorious days of the past, but I¡¯m not sure what he meant and I don¡¯t really care to find out either. He also has a steak tartar on the plate in front of him which I find quite revolting, not sure how he even enjoys that bloody stuff but I¡¯m not going to complain as him stuffing his face, gives to the rest of us the peace of quiet we need. Well my quiet game of poker comes to an end when Porker decided to declare his hand. ¡°Full House Bitches! I win! Show me the doe!¡± ¡°What the hell Porker! How the fuck did you get that kind of hand?¡± I yelled as I was sure that my three of a kind was surely gonna win this round. ¡°Your evilness¡± he said slyly, ¡° It was but mere luck that has granted me this win! Now if you please, I am going to take my winnings and go to bed, since I am sure it¡¯s past my bedtime!¡± ¡°Cut the crap Porker and for fucks sake wipe the bloody sauce of your face! You¡¯ve never heard of handkerchiefs? You know what? Fuck it!!! Nico, Niki, grab him and turn him upside down!¡± Following my orders, the incubus-succubus couple grabbed him by his legs and turned him upside down. Numerous cards came raining down from his body. ¡°I knew it! You were cheating! You were trying to pull a number on me you little shit? I¡¯m going to¡­¡­¡± Just as I was going to say what I was going to do to him, which by the way wouldn¡¯t be considered pretty. Loud voices coming from the dungeon¡¯s hall were heard. ¡° Intruders!¡± I yelled, happy that my Saturday night finally became interesting. ¡°I hope these guys will at least be more interesting than the previous ones were. Porker come with me! Nico and Niki, you both stay here and I will call you if I need you. Oh, and by the way Niki, cover yourself a little bit! I don¡¯t want a repeat of last time!¡± After giving them my orders, me and Harry Porker marched towards the grand hall. I was leading the way, while he was following me. I will still cautious of the little brat, I just hope he doesn¡¯t put a sign on my back that says ¡°MALAKAS¡± again like the last time¡­.. (Malakas is a greek word. The british equivalent would be a wanker as for the American one it is asshole) Chapter 6: Chapter 6: Love at 1st fight and lost in the translation! Chapter 6: Love at 1st fight and lost in the translation! As Hitoshi and Porker left the poker room the only occupants of the room engaged in a somewhat interesting discussion. ¡°Ne, ne anata!¡± said the redheaded succubus ¡°What did you think Master meant when he said to cover myself? Is the dress I am wearing pretty? Am I fat?¡± As walking on thin ice, Nico chose his next words carefully. Saying something wrong would invoke the wrath of his wife and that meant no sex, sleeping on the couch for a month, not to mention possible hair loss (she ripped his hair off and it took a while for it to grow back which was strange, since his health regeneration should have dealt with that¡­hm maybe she did something to his food?). Taking a gulp to clear the lump on his throat, he said as confidently as he could master to erase any suspicions on her part: ¡°Au contraire mon amour! (TN: On the contrary my love) Your dress is marvelous, but your beauty surpasses any piece of cloth. You could walk around naked and still be the fairest of them all, your body could inspire any sculptor on Gaia to create a masterpiece and your beauty rivals even that of Goddess Fraya (Goddess Fraya is the Deity of love, beauty and wealth). You don¡¯t have an ounce of fat on your body my love!¡± Pleased with his answer Niki, gave him a long, deep French kiss with her ruby lips, the energy sucked and transferred from one to another till they both came out for breath. ¡°Hmm, is it getting hot in here or is it just me ?¡± she quickly added. ¡° I guess that master when he said that, what he truly meant was to get out of this rag (referring to her dress with the abysmal d¨¦colletage ) that doesn¡¯t do justice to my beauty and show my glorious, noble nakedness to those plebeians out there.¡± ¡°Shit, that¡¯s totally not what he meant, but I don¡¯t want to face the consequences from correcting her¡± thought the pitiful incubus. He was truly whipped, but better make things somewhat right is what he told himself and after turning his ¡°player¡± mode on, he hugged her, whispering to her ear and giving it a playful lick afterwards. ¡° Darling, master said that he would call us if he needed us, besides you were right as always, it is hot in here and I think that my pants are way too restricting, and you need help with that dress of yours, maybe we could help each other out? Also, if I remember correctly we have yet to baptize the couch near the fireplace. Wouldn¡¯t it be a shame to let this chance go away?¡± Both their pupils were dilated, a clear sign of sexual arousal, while they moved to the piece of furniture that would soon be baptized by the product of their lovemaking or better say of a quickie f*ck while the boss was busy. Meanwhile, back to the grand hall, Hitoshi and Porker were getting into positions to receive their ¡°honorable guests¡±. Hitoshi took his position sitting leisurely on a throne like, silver armchair adorned with rubies that only made his read eyes seem like they were shining brighter, while Harry was busy lightening up the chandeliers with little fireballs coming out of his hands . After that he took his place standing next to Hitoshi. His role was mainly that of the translator, as there was a lingual barrier between demons and the other races. Sometimes, he would be ordered to also fight, if Hitoshi was too bored to even rise his ass off the armchair. Currently, it seemed that his boss was intrigued by the arrival of the heroes and that he (Harry) wouldn¡¯t be given the chance to fight , so he would only have to translate. Well, that didn¡¯t mean though that he couldn¡¯t have some fun right? What the heroes came upon entering the doors of the grand hall, leading to their arch enemy the Demon King was the mini boss ¡°Demon General¡± with the title of ¡°Bloody Dragon¡± . On the walls that were illuminated by the heavy chandeliers made of gold where hundreds of candles could be seen lit, they could see red banners with the emblem of Villainia , the Demons Kingdom, marked in black.. The banners were depicting the head of a horned goat with 2 swords crossing it. On the far end of the room, they could see the mini boss, as well as a small chubby human kid with eyeglasses. ¡° That bastard took a child hostage!¡± the leader of the group, a guy with long blond hair carrying a two-handed long sword said to his comrades, as they rushed toward Hitoshi. Hitoshi on the other hand was delighted. They were humans but most important there were females on the heroes party! He wasn¡¯t going to let this chance slip by. It had been the 1st time since his soul was transferred in the Demon General¡¯s body that he would interact with human females. Standing up from his chair he uttered a simple word, a short incantation for a powerful spell with ranged area of effect properties ¡° FREEZE¡±. Immediately the 5 bodies of the heroes in front of him froze. Their bodies just below their necks were covered with several thick layers of ice, making their possibilities to move any part of their body except for their mouths, absolutely zero. Pleased with himself, he jumped and landed right in front of them. He started to inspect them one by one. First, it was the guy that he thought was the leader of the group. He was an ikemen, one of the guys Hitoshi hated the most. A gentle looking face, one that could make him probably popular with all but mostly with the ladies (he truly hated this guy!), handsome with a well trained body, and golden hair matched with honey coloured eyes. Making a mental note to himself to kill this guy first, he moved on to the next person. The next person was probably also a swordswoman, as he saw that she had a shield and an one-handed sword at her hands. She was quite cute! Mid length wavy brown hair that reached a little bit below her cute little ears, forest green eyes, a small nose, rosy pink lips that were currently pouting as he was close to her inspecting her. She was a little bit on the short side, but Hitoshi wouldn¡¯t mind that at all. That was, until he looked at her neck¡­..Adam¡¯s Apple!!!!!! Trap!!! This guy was a trap! The Demon¡¯s General roar echoed on the grand hall room as he was shouting in the demonic language ¡°It¡¯s an infection! They are like the plague! Everywhere I look there is one of them!¡± After venting off his anger by screaming and thus scaring off the heroes from even trying and break free of their frost prison, he continued on to the next one muttering to himself : ¡° I swear to God¡­not right! I swear to my manliness! If the next one I see is also a trap, I am going to end them all no matter woman or man!¡± Love what you''re reading? Discover and support the author on the platform they originally published on. He was not a homophobic, but he had ended up being paranoid after the incidents that took place in the Purgatory. In his mind, every cross-dresser out there had a secret agenda and that was to fuck him up literally and metaphorically speaking! That¡¯s why he was extra careful, as nothing was as it seemed. The next person under his scrutinizing eyes was an archer. This guy seemed to be an elf (thankfully for all of them a true male) and thus Hitoshi didn¡¯t even care and moved onto the next one which by the way was a human female, probably the sorceress of the party. She had wavy red hair currently tied into a ponytail. Her eyes had a mesmerizing purple color, one that he concluded belonged to a highly calculating person. His assumption was only verified by the amount of jewelry on her. Earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings and even freaking toe rings! Yeap, this woman was a Gold digger! She would bring you high and suck you dry! She was even eying Harry Porker¡¯s summoning necklace that was on his neck! Even though this woman had all the right curves in all the right places, she was not girlfriend material. His hopes were slowly going down the drain as with dejectedly, lowered to the ground eyes, he approached the last member of their party. He slowly raised his gaze and looked into her eyes and BAM! He was in love! He found the future Mrs Kurosawa! The woman that would be his one and only wife! Her big blue eyes stared defiantly directly into his, refusing to even show the slightest of fear. She had long straight, dark brown hair that one might even think at first glance that they were black, but with the candle light shining on them, their rich brown color manifested itself. A cute nose and beautiful blue eyes, that reminded Hitoshi of the deep blue ocean that his parents took him me to see on one of their last family vacations before they were gone. His gaze fell to her mouth, to those kissable pretty pink lips that she was currently pressing together as if she was going to kiss him and he approached her only to have her spit at his face. She was the priestess of the party, a long scepter made of precious metal could be seen on her hands under the crystal ice that was imprisoning her. She was fairly tall about 1.80 m, and from what he had guessed slender. Although, about her three numbers (chest, waist, ass) he couldn¡¯t be sure as the priest¡¯s robes that she was currently wearing offered him no visual data on her body. She was his Yamato Nadeshiko (TN: "the epitome of pure, feminine beauty") and the future Mrs Kurosawa. Excited that he finally found her, Hitoshi ordered Harry Porker to start translating: ¡°Hello heroes! Welcome to our humble abode! I am honoured to make your acquaintance. My name is Hitoshi Kurosawa and I am the General of the Demonic Army. Introduce yourselves to me and let us talk concerning the reason of your visit! Please don¡¯t be afraid!¡± he said slowly waiting for Porker to translate his words for the party of heroes. Despite his scary face Hitoshi was actually trying to make an impression to her by being nice and hopefully find out her name. HARRY PORKER¡¯S POV As I listened to my Master I was thinking: ¡°How much did this guy drink? Is he right in the head? What is he saying? There¡¯s no way he means to say these things! He¡¯s not that kind! Who¡¯s he trying to fool? I better translate his words the way they were supposed to be and as well as add a few things of my own to spice things up!¡± ¡°I am truly sorry for the things that you are going to hear heroes, but this demon is threatening to kill my mommy if I don¡¯t do as he says!¡± I said while looking as pathetic as I could (good thing that he was not even paying attention to me and only focusing on the brunette). ¡°I am now translating to you his exact words. Filthy pigs! You¡¯ve got some balls coming here to my dungeon to challenge me, the Bloody Dragon, the General of the Demonic Army Hitoshi Kurosawa! Tell me your names so I will know what to write on your gravestones, motherf*ckers!¡± ¡°Tell that piece of shit not to talk about my mama and that he is the one that is going to die here today! Tell him to release us at once or it will be hell to pay! Got it kid? Tell him that!¡± the blond guy that seemed to be the leader, told me to translate that to boss. Ho,ho,ho this is going to be epic! ¡° Boss that guy told me to say to you to go f*ck yourself, that they are not giving you their names. Oh and he also told me to tell you that your father was probably into bestiality to mate with a goat and have you as child! He demands to be released or that you will die here today¡± HITOSHIS¡¯ POV My brow twitched, I was being kind here and this guy wanted to play insults about mothers? Well if it was any other day I would take him up on his offer. Even if Harry Porker was indeed far superior to me when it came to cursing, still being in his company for so long, I too had caught up a thing or two when it comes to swearing! But now was not the time. The future Mrs Kurosawa was watching me closely, although was there a hint of amusement in her eyes? Nah, that was probably my idea I thought as I returned my attention to the chubby vampire. ¡°Harry tell them not to be afraid, I will not harm anyone of them! I just want to know their names and to talk to them! Now translate this to them!¡± SACHIKO¡¯S (the priestess) POV Although, my knowledge of the demonic language is quite limited, I was still sure that the little kid next to the Demon General was not an innocent victim as he presented himself to us. He was totally messing the translation! He took the kind words of his master (that¡¯s what I have concluded him to be) and twisted them. From the things I understood, was that his master was saying hello to us, he was welcoming us, asking to know our names and the reason for us being here. Yet, what that kid had told us that he said was quite the opposite! At first, it was quite amusing to see the General speaking and the chubby kid paraphrasing everything. I was curious to see where all this would lead! But as the discussion kept going on I began to be certain of one thing. If the cute little chubby kid continued to translate the way he was, our death was coming near ! Chapter 7: Lingual barrier lifted! Chapter 7: Lingual barrier lifted! SACHIKO¡¯S POV: As the little chubby kid named Harry, (as I realized his name was by listening to their conversation), finished translating the last sentence that his master told him, which by the way was not to be afraid, that he wouldn¡¯t harm us and that he just wanted to know our names and talk to us, I was sure that the little shit was lying his ass and face off to get us killed! Don¡¯t get me wrong I am a lady, the daughter of the Count ruling the province of Rosenburg in the Human Kingdom called Aeterna and I know that I shouldn¡¯t at any cost show an unladylike behaviour such as the one I was going to show now, but listening to the things that kid translated for us to hear in our human language had my blood pumping! He said to Eric, the leader of our party, son of Duke Philip ruler of the province of Allemagnia and a childhood friend of mine: ¡°Heroes what he told me is this: If my mother was a goat then your mother was a bridge! Anyone willing, could pass her through by paying the fee! You dare demand to be released? Well bend over and I might think about it!¡± My mouth stood agape as I listened to this kid paraphrasing everything with a vulgarity unmatching his age. I couldn¡¯t stand this any longer and before Eric answered to these insults, in a loud voice I addressed the Demon General using the few demonic words that I knew pointing to little Harry ¡° This kid! Liar and Shit! Words wrong! Not true!¡± Little Harry lost all colour on his chubby cheeks as he turned to face his master. His master , Hitoshi was his name I think, although appearing calm had his right eyebrow twitching as though he was going to have a stroke. A sinister smile soon appeared on his lips as he glared menacingly the kid. HITOSHI¡¯S POV I was furious and yet remained my cool as Harry kept translating what the heroes¡¯ leader answered to my kindness. But my patience was wearing thin, I would not stand any more insults, especially about my parents or about my appearance. If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. Yet, I was surprised to suddenly hear her clear and melodic voice talking to me and in the demonic language to top it all. Although she couldn¡¯t speak using elaborate vocabulary or any sort of syntax, the meaning of her simple words was clear. Porker was playing me for a fool, serving me whatever bullshit came to his mind on a silver platter. I was beyond furious, any sort of inhibitions about child abuse long forgotten. He was going to get it after this for sure. But not now and certainly not in front of her. I still had to make a good first impression. Turning my gaze to her, giving her a slight bow that caused my long hair to flip and having to awkwardly straighten them out afterwards, which caused a slight chuckle on her behalf, I gave her my thanks in the demonic language by saying ¡°¦²¦Á? ¦Å¦Ô¦Ö¦Á¦Ñ¦É¦Ò¦Ó?, ¦Ï¦Ì¦Ï¦Ñ¦Õ? ¦Ì¦Ï¦Ô ¦Ê¦Ô¦Ñ?¦Á!? (¦³¦­: it is greek, I am greek and I don¡¯t even know why I will use greek as the demonic language but after the movie ¡°Exorcist¡± , having taught ancient greek in high school, I also consider my language a bit evil, tons of complicated present and past tenses, many grammatical and syntax rules, still loving it though. On to the translation= Thank you, my fair lady!). I thought I saw a brief blush adorning her lovely cheeks for a moment, but it was gone the moment I thought I saw it. Must be my wishful thinking I guess! After finding out about Harry¡¯s deceitful ways and giving my thanks to my fair lady, I casted the spell to remove them from their frost prison. The ice surrounding them dissolved and they just stood there watching me warily waiting for my next move, which by the way never came as I thought it was better to put them to sleep and send them away. I was sure they were going to be back again. After all nobody admits defeat so easily and that ikemen seemed arrogant enough to not accept defeat at all. So, I decided to use the time remaining till they get back here to learn and speak properly the human language. Next time we meet it will be different. And by the way, Harry Porker is surely going to get it! Chapter 8 A: Porker鈥檚 punishment/ mission and Heidi鈥檚 entrance Chapter 8 A¡¯: Porker¡¯s punishment/ mission and Heidi¡¯s entrance I teleported the heroes¡¯ party in their last resting place which would probably be the human village of Larnia, in the south borders of the Demon Kingdom. Taking into account the geography of the Demonic Kingdom, the rough terrain and mountains that those heroes had to cross in order to get back here as well as the various monsters they would encounter on their way, I estimated that it would probably get them about 1 month on horse or 3 months on foot till our next meeting. ¡°Plenty of time to learn the human language so that I don¡¯t have to count on Porker the next time I meet her. I just hope that Nico and Niki know how to speak it better than the little bloodsucker¡± is what I thought, while walking back to the poker room where currently the couple were. I was walking back alone as Porker was currently unavailable. Where was he you ask? Well, I sent him on an errand of course. I ordered him to go to the village of Larnia as well, under the pretext of buying some alcohol since our supply was running low, but mainly to check on the heroes¡¯ party. Of course I couldn¡¯t send him the way he was, I had to disguise him in order to not be recognized by the heroes. As such, I ¡°convinced¡± him to put on a frilly pink gothic Lolita dress, some cute low heels with white bows on them, a blond wig with braids and I painted some brown freckles on his face. All the above of course were stolen, , meant borrowed from Niki¡¯s closet. A cute, freckled, chubby little princess with eyeglasses on, was created this night by my hands! ¡°Now Porker yours orders are: 1. Go to the village of Larnia using this disguise, which by under no circumstances can you take off! (I made sure of that and took away his former clothes, promising to return them when the mission was over) 2. Find the heroes¡¯ party, see if they are ok and what they intend to do. 3. Buy the booze. 12 bottles of dragon fire (whisky), 15 bottles of red wine the most expensive ones (pinots noir, syrah) and about 30 bottles of pure white fire (vodka) should be enough. You have Niki¡¯s magic handbag right, the cute white one? (indeed he had, Lol). Good, you can put all that in there! Oh, get a discount on the booze! Our budget is limited and I will give you only 300 gold for all that. They are worth about 350 gold but a ¡°cute little princess¡± like you should have no problem getting a discount of 50 gold! Right? 4. Last, but not least Porker your name during this mission will be Heidi. You are a shepherd¡¯s daughter and you were sent by your daddy to buy alcohol. Got it? After completing all these I expect you to be back here in 2 weeks and report, using your bat form will make you travel faster after all.¡± ¡°Now do you have any questions?¡± ¡° Yes, I do!¡± said Porker angrily ¡°Well what is it? Speak up! I¡¯m running on a tight schedule here!¡± I said hoping that he wouldn¡¯t raise any objections about my plans. This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version. It was just too funny watching him on that attire! And the fact that I was sending him, an underage child to buy booze and on a discount on top of it, surely would be a difficult task. But, I had high hopes for the little bloodsucker. The village of Larnia was not going to be the same after his visit. That¡¯s for sure! Yet, what he said next truly blew my mind off, causing me to face palm myself. ¡°Well, why do I have to be a shepherd¡¯s daughter? I am a noble. Do you expect the noble me to pass as the daughter of a peasant? That¡¯s outrageous!¡± he said angrily, puffing his chest out proudly. What a moron! He wasn¡¯t minding the dress but he was minding the status? Well I thought, let¡¯s give him what he wants! ¡°Okay Porker. You are right! New plan! You are the daughter of a wealthy merchant who was a former noble, but due to injustice your father lost his noble rights and he¡¯s trying to get them back! The rest of your orders are the same¡± ¡°Hell yeah, I AM right! Good thing you realized it master!¡± said Porker with pride. ¡°Then well I¡¯m off!¡± LARNIA VILLAGE Four days later in the village of Larnia, a small chubby blond girl with eyeglasses on her eyes had arrived. She was wearing a pink cute frilly gothic Lolita dress, she had braids on her blond hair tied with red ribbons, her cute little white handbag was on her smooth pale hand and she was currently walking on the main street of the village to find the inn where she heard the heroes¡¯ party was staying. ¡°Damn I look good!¡± Porker thought ¡°The shoes¡¯ size though is completely wrong, its too big!¡±. Suddenly, the realization of what was truly going on hit him! ¡°Wait, what the hell?!!!! That¡¯s not the case here! Damn master! He tricked me! He dressed me up as a freaking girl. I am not a girl! I am a man! I am the 300 years old pure blood vampire Prince Vlad the 3rd ! How did he dare do this to me!¡± he thought boiling with anger, making his chubby cheeks puff with air and turn into a rosy color. ¡°Ah, what a cute little girl¡± said the woman of a human couple passing across him on the road to her husband. ¡°Well fuck you very much, bitch!¡± said Porker, forgetting his role and walked past them fast to reach the inn and get this mission finished as soon as he could. ¡°Anata? What did that cute little girl, say to me?¡± asked the dumbfounded woman to her husband. Her husband could only think that both of them might have heard it all wrong. There was no way a cute little girl like that could say the words he thought she said. Shaking his head as to clear imaginary clouds, he said, trying to convince himself as well as his wife ¡°She said thank you very much, Mrs!¡± ¡°Ah, that¡¯s what I thought she said also. Oh, I hope we have a cute and kind little daughter like her also, anata!¡± She said dreamily looking to her husband. The man could only think: ¡°Let¡¯s hope not¡± Chapter 8 B: Heidi books in. Chapter 8 B¡¯: Heidi books in Heidi after hastily wondering around in the village of Larnia for a bit, to see what it had to offer, which by the way according to her was not much, finally arrived at the inn. Larnia was a small human village with a population of about 500 people, in the south borders of the Demonic Kingdom and as such, it had suffered a lot due to monsters invasions. The villagers were happy to receive the heroes¡¯ party and had hopes that finally the day when they would live their lives free from the constant fear of invasion that they were dealing with each day, would come. The buildings in the village where pretty simple. Most of them had only one floor, while two to three of them had two floors. Only the inn and the mayor¡¯s house were somewhat different. Instead of just wood, stone was also used to build them, but other than that, there was really no artistic value to any of the buildings in this village.They were simply built to put a roof above the villagers heads. The roads of the village where covered with dirt and became muddy after rain, as they currently were now, only to put Heidi¡¯s mood further down the dumps. Her cute white heels where already dirty and Niki was going to kill him! Taking a last look outside the inn before she entered, she saw that all the rooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors conveniently enough had windows with a small ledge under them, which she could sit on while in her bat form and take a peak inside. She was not a peeping tom, she told herself, she was just following master¡¯s orders to see if the heroes were okay! Opening the inn''s doors, she walked in like she owned the place! After all, this so called inn, which compared to the pigsty in his old estate was far inferior (exaggerating again), should be honored to house a VIP guest like herself! She approached the wooden counter which was several inches higher than herself, even on heels and coughed loudly to get the attention of the young woman sitting behind it. The young woman who was probably the innkeeper had yet to acknowledge her presence though. She was around thirties, (but she wasn¡¯t even going to ask as that could probably lead into trouble), had short bright red hair, mischievous green eyes, a slim body and small breasts. When hearing the loud cough, the young woman was startled. She tried to find out where the sound came from, but she couldn¡¯t see anyone. Well, that was until she heard a cute girly voice saying ¡°Down here!¡± Upon seeing the cute chubby Lolita, with her eyeglasses and her pink frilly dress, the young woman showed a blinding smile with her pearly white teeth. She truly loved cute little chubby kids and this one seemed just adorable! ¡°Well hello, young Miss! I am Erica the owner of the ¡°Flying Donkey Inn! What are you doing here today and who might you be?¡± ¡°My name is Heidi and as you can see I am a noble¡¯s daughter. I demand your finest room to rest and your most delicious food to eat!¡± Heidi declared with arrogance, puffing her flat chest proudly. ¡°Hmm, young Miss, I don¡¯t mind giving you a room, but where are your parents if I may ask? Don¡¯t tell me you are on your own here? You know that in order for a child to book a room at an inn one of the parents has to sign on the ledger right here, right?¡± said Erica showing her the ledger. Heidi was perplexed. No actually she didn¡¯t know it. How the hell was she supposed to know that something like that was required these days? Last time she was on a vacation like this (200 years ago) the only thing the innkeeper was interested in, was gold, not some parents¡¯ signature. What was she going to do now? Seeing the child lost in her thoughts, the innkeeper offered her help. ¡°Where are your parents cutie pie? We can go to them together.¡± ¡°Crap, crap , crap! What do I do now? Run for it and sleep on the streets?¡± Just as she was wondering what her options were, she heard on the back room of the inn familiar loud voices. It was the heroes¡¯ party. She was saved! She could use those guys ¡­. ¡°Beautiful onee ¨Cchan don¡¯t worry. Papa and mama are already here. They are in the back room. I will go and get the signature right now.¡± ¡°What!¡± Erica asked surprised. The only ones in the back room, in the dining area were currently only the heroes. Seeing as the girl in front of her was human, she put two and two together and immediately excluded the elven hero from being her father. So the only possible answer was¡­. ¡°Eric the son of Duke Philip of Allemagnia is your father? Ah, I can see the resemblance you both have blond hair! Oh my god! I can¡¯t believe the hero has a child!¡± ¡°Oops, onee-chan I am sorry, I shouldn¡¯t have told you that. Papa, said it was a secret and I was not supposed to tell anyone. Please, don¡¯t tell anyone or he will be mad.¡± Heidi said faking tears in her eyes. ¡° But of course, my precious! Don¡¯t worry, this onee-chan knows how to keep a secret. But do tell me, I have to know!¡± she said anxiously ¡°Which one of the three ladies in the heroes¡¯ party is your mommy? Is it the priestess Sachiko, the sorceress Moira or the swordswoman Marion?¡± The child looked confused for a moment scratching her head for a bit, before the question she asked a second later caused the innkeeper¡¯s mouth to hit the floor in astonishment. ¡°Hmmm, Onee-chan what do you mean three ladies? Papa has only TWO ladies in his team. Nii-chan Marion is not a girl like me, he is like Papa, a boy!¡± ¡°Omg! A trap in the heroes¡¯ party! Wait till I tell Monica and Jessica about this!¡± thought the innkeeper Erica who certainly knew how to keep a secret or two¡­. for about 5 secs! ¡°But, little Heidi you didn¡¯t tell me who is you mommy? Is it Sachiko or Moira?¡± ¡°My mommy¡¯s name is Moira. But you have to make sure not to tell, okay? Now please give me the book, so I can get papa¡¯s signature for you.¡± With the ledger on one hand and an inkwell on the other, chubby Heidi made her way to the heroes¡¯ table, while Erica was waiting for her on the counter near the entrance of the inn. She didn¡¯t after all want to interrupt the joyful reunion of a man with his daughter! ¡°Eric, onii-chan?¡± Heidi said with a cute girly voice, faking a face filled with adoration aka rosy cheeks (she pinched them many times to get the right color) and sparkly black eyes as she approached the startled Eric and his group. ¡°What¡¯s going on little girl? What do you want?¡± he said. ¡°I am a huge fan. You are brave, handsome and our worlds only hope for salvation. I want your autograph, sign here!¡± she said pushing the book and the ink to his face, causing him to sign it immediately without even reading it! He was just so eager to get rid of the chubby Lolita who had wrapped her hands around his neck in an impromptu hug. ¡°Ok kid you got my autograph, now please let us continue our conversation. We, heroes, have important things to discuss. Things that a cute little girl like you will not understand.¡± He said arrogantly and politely dismissed her. Only one person at the table was being skeptical while watching the whole scene and that was the priestess. ¡°Where have I seen this kid before? She seems familiar but I cannot quite put my finger on it!¡± Having taken Eric¡¯s signature Heidi returned to Erica. ¡°Hm, similar names Erica and Eric. Dumb and dumber!¡± ¡°Onee-chan! Daddy gave me his signature. He also said to give me a room next to his own, as he wants to be able to come and read me my bedtime story without anyone noticing. Is that possible? Please, onee-chan?¡± ¡°Well the room next to the hero is currently occupied by another of our inns guests, but don¡¯t worry I will move him to another, sweetie! Just wait a second here.¡± She said running up the stairs. If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. Soon after, sounds of screaming, yelling, cursing and things breaking could be heard from one of the floors above and a semi-naked guy was seen a couple of seconds later running down the stairs with his clothes on his hands cursing furiously at the woman climbing down behind him: ¡°You crazy bitch! I paid for this room! I am never going to set my foot again at your inn again!¡± Opening the door he just stepped outside while the innkeeper sent him off with a smile ¡°Thank you for your patronage sir!¡± ¡°I knew I can count on you onee-chan!¡± the chubby lolita said, while jumping to give Erica a hug (in the mean time also checking her ass). ¡° Ne, ne , onee-chan? Papa wants me to go and buy some stuff that he said he¡¯s going to need for his journey. Where can I buy the thing called booze? He also said that I should also buy some clothes for my little brother, we are twins, his name is Harry and he¡¯s very cute, smart and great at spells (all true Heidi told herself). Oh he also needs some meat about 500 pounds. Do you know where I can get all these stuff?¡± ¡°The guy sends his little daughter to buy booze? He has a second child? He¡¯s going to let her carry all this stuff by herself? What a scandal! The so called hero Eric is an insensitive jerk! Wait till he gets the bill! I am going to charge him double and everyone is going to know about him!¡± Erica silently promised to herself. ¡°Of course I will help you, my love! Don¡¯t you worry about a thing. Give me a couple of minutes so I can tidy up your room, When it¡¯s ready I will give you the room so you can go to your room, and rest. I will prepare some paper for you to write down the list of things you need and I will personally go and get them for you. Where do you want them delivered? To your papa¡¯s room?¡± ¡°No, no, no! Papa is going to get angry! He doesn¡¯t like his room cramped with stuff. He prefers his space. He said to just put it in my room and he will get them when we are going to leave. Just make sure to put it all into his tab and he will pay it all when it¡¯s time to leave¡± ¡°Ok, sweetie. Just bring me the list then when you get down. In the mean time, are you hungry? Would you like something to eat? I¡¯m sure our chef can prepare for you anything you ask for.¡± ¡° Thank you. I would like 3 steaks tartar and 3 steaks bleu to be prepared for me please. Oh and don¡¯t forget not to put any garlic in any of my plates please. Papa said that garlic should be eaten only by plebeians. We are nobility and we shouldn¡¯t put ourselves down to their level by eating that.¡± ¡° The Hero is snobby as hell¡± Erica muttered to herself, before continuing on ¡°The food you ordered is a bit bloody, young miss. Wouldn¡¯t you prefer a nice medium rare steak instead? And 6 steaks! Are you going to be able to eat them all by yourself?¡± ¡°No¡± said Heidi puffing her cheaks and shaking her head ¡° Papa said that our family is a family of warriors and as such everyone should have an iron stomach, including me! He¡¯s going to be watching what I eat and if he finds out I didn¡¯t listen to him , he¡¯s going to spank me! And I am so hungry! I haven¡¯t eaten anything in 4 days. Look how pale I am!¡± ¡° Ok, sweetheart I will tell the chef to prepare what you asked. Just sit down and enjoy it!¡± With that Heidi smiling at herself satisfied that everything was going according to plan and that she was going to eat like a pig in a few minutes, patiently waited for her room to be ready. Soon after, she took her key from the friendly innkeeper and made her way to her room where she sat down and wrote the list. After completing the list which included all the booze that his master had told him to buy, as well as the few items he wanted for himself and that was the 500 pounds of meat, he checked himself just to make sure that his disguise was still in shape. With the 500 pounds of meat he would eat like a king (more likely like a pig) at least for the next 3 months, as for preserving it, he didn¡¯t worry, he also had the spell freeze he could use. Hopefully, Niki¡¯s handbag could store them all in. But even if it didn¡¯t he could always buy a magic bag and put it on his ¡°daddy¡¯s¡± bill. Among the various items on the list there were also a new black cloak, a black shirt and trousers, a red tie (to spice things up a bit) and a pair of black shoes. Maybe he should also get one of those top hats he thought, but quickly dismissed the idea as it would mess his cowlick hairlook and he didn¡¯t want to leave his daddy completely broke.. Finishing the list she went downstairs to give it to Erica. ¡°Erica, onee-chan I am done! Is my food ready? I am so hungry!¡± Taking the list from Heidi¡¯s chubby little hands. She took a quick look to it before saying : ¡°These things will take a couple of days to be prepared, well your daddy told me that he and his party were going to depart in 4 days¡­. But don¡¯t worry sweetie I will have them all ready and delivered to your room the day after tomorrow. About the clothes though for your brother, I don¡¯t know his size so I don¡¯t know what to buy¡± ¡°Oh don¡¯t worry about that. He is the same size as me, we are twins after all and the foot¡¯s size is 36.¡± ¡° Okay, then I will deliver the clothes in your room so you can try them on and if they don¡¯t fit, we can alter them. Is it that satisfactory?¡± ¡°It sure is! Thank you onee-chan, you are the greatest!¡± ¡°So far, so good.¡± Harry Porker thought to himself. My cover as Heidi, Eric¡¯s and Moira¡¯s daughter is solid! I have found out their time of departure will be 4 days from now. I have found out that they are all in good health and they are ok, though still pissed off that they lost so easily to Master. The only bad thing so far in this situation, is that the priestess Sachiko, was looking at me suspiciously while I was eating. Did she recognize me? Nah, I don¡¯t think so! Did she mind my table manners? (she ate like a pig all 6 steaks, patting her belly at the end of her meal and giving a loud burp). Nah, my table manners are flawless! After all, all the nobles of my time even gave me congratulations about them! But of course! Why didn¡¯t I think about it? The poor girl was mesmerized by my greatness! I ooze nobility and my sense of fashion is supreme! Of course she was eyeing me, trying to figure out my style and imitate it! The poor girl! I would even pity her if not for the thing she said to the hero in a whisper (of course I would hear it, bats after all have great hearing abilities) and that is, that she was going to buy all books she could find on this village on demonic language in order to improve her understanding of it, so that she could translate the next time they met my master. She even told them that I lied ¡°Tsk¡± I clicked my tongue in disapproval upon hearing that ¡° And here I was hoping for a rerun!¡± ¡°Well I have lots of time till my 2 days are up and I have to go.¡± Heidi decided to leave as soon she got her stuff. She didn¡¯t worry about the cost, since her ¡°daddy¡± was going to pay it. But first, she was going to find out tonight what the relationships were between the members in the heroes¡¯ party. She couldn¡¯t help but notice that ¡°mommy¡± Moira while sitting on the table, was getting a little frisky with ¡°daddy¡± Eric sitting on her left as well as with the elven archer sitting on her right. To be specific, her left hand was rubbing suggestively Eric¡¯s thigh under the table while he was talking to her about their shop trip tomorrow, while at the same time her right hand was grabbing the elf¡¯s crotch! Oh someone is going to get busy tonight! Chapter 8 C: R-18 I will repeat once more the warning.... The story is rated mature as thus it contains vulgar vocabulary and explicit sexual scenes such as the ones depicted in this chapter. If you are not of legal age, please don''t read this chapter. I also will not tolerate comments about the vulgar vocabulary as you have already been warned. CHAPTER 9 C¡¯ : R-18 PORKER¡¯S POV My name is Porker¡­.Harry Porker. Code name Heidi. My background story for this mission is that I am the cute little daughter of hero Eric and his teammate Moira the sorceress. Currently, I¡¯m on a deadly mission. If my cover is blown, the shit will hit the fan or let¡¯s just say that it will be a sticky situation. LOCATION: I¡¯m currently in my room at the inn. The room has a small wooden desk with a chair, a canopy bed with a king sized mattress, which I find satisfactory as the great me needs a lot of space for my naps and some paintings on the wall drawn by obviously a failure of an artist. If you ask me, I can draw better pictures even with my eyes closed. Hmm, maybe if I find some inspiration I can paint some as a gift for nee-chan Erica, after all she is so eager to service me¡­.provided of course that I am also giving her all the juicy details of our domestic life. Papa Eric and mommy Moira seem to spike her interest so much and who am I to deprive her of the joy of learning a couple of things about the daily life in Sir Eric-s household? But now it¡¯s not the time to sit and inspect this room nor is it to reminisce all the horrors that my parents caused me. (Yeap, I¡¯m totally into my role. I own it!). My ultrasonic hearing ability catches up the sound of mommy¡¯s Moira door opening and soon after I hear her footsteps and the sound of papa¡¯s Eric door opening. Oh? Will I be getting a little brother tonight? Now¡¯s the time to act and learn about who¡¯s fucking whom. But first let me check if I am ready to embark on my journey to knowledge -Glasses cleaned and equipped? Check -Window of my room open? Check -Beef jerky? Check -Bat form on? Check (A small black bat which if one looked closer was also wearing glasses, could be seen flying out of Heidi¡¯s room into the sky of the moonlit night) Good thing it¡¯s a full moon. I can see better with it. Let¡¯s hope that the curtains of my daddy¡¯s room will be opened. I could still use my night vision but nothing beats natural light when peeping, ehem, investigating. After flying to the next room, I sat on the ledge by the window and put down the beef jerky I was holding with my clawed little legs and started watching what was going on in daddy¡¯s room while munching on some jerky. THIRD PERSON¡¯S POV +RATING THE PERFORMANCE The door was opened by a young blond man. His name was Eric, he was in the heroes¡¯ party sent by King Richard of the Human Kingdom Aeterna to defeat the arch enemy of all human kind, the Demon King. He had a gentle looking face that made him popular with all but mostly with the ladies. He was tall and handsome with a well trained body and his golden hair matched his honey colored eyes. Currently, he was sporting only a pair of blue silk shorts, while his torso was naked. It was clear that he was expecting company. A red haired woman entered the room. Swaying her hips seductively, her ample-sans brassiere bosom was bouncing up and down as she walked, her every move watched lustily by the male occupant of this room. She reached the king sized canopy bed dressed with silken blue sheets and fluffy pillows and sat on the edge. She was Moira, the sorceress in the heroes¡¯ party. Currently, her wavy red hair were left untied to reach just below her shoulders. She was wearing a silk purple robe held loosely by a belt that complimented perfectly her beautiful eyes. ¡° So, tell me darling are we going to buy tomorrow that necklace I saw at the market? You know the one made of platinum with the amethysts. It will match perfectly with my purple eyes don¡¯t you think? You must absolutely buy that for me tomorrow as the merchant said that he is soon going to leave. We can¡¯t let this chance go away!¡± ¡°Baby boo¡± said Eric, pouting his lips as he was standing in front of her ¡°I bought you so many jewelry, you don¡¯t really need it. Right? Besides Daddy told me to stop spending so much money or else he¡¯s going to disinherit me!¡± The redhead pouted her ruby colored lips and said stroking suggestively the man¡¯s standing in front of her naked thigh ¡° Are you sure that there is nothing I can do to make you change your mind? I really want that necklace!!!¡± ¡°Well what do you have in mind?¡± asked Eric (AN: in case you want to hear Moira¡¯ song, play this (no copyright infringement intended) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vwNcNOTVzY Hooking her slender fingers on the waistband of his shorts, she slowly pulled them down. He stepped out of them and remained standing in front of her, his manhood standing up in attention before her ruby colored wet lips. Licking her lips seductively Moira lifted her right hand and softly grasped it at the base. ¡°Mmmmm, it¡¯s so hot and big baby¡± she softly murmured CRITIC''S ALA PROKER''S INTERVENTION ¡°WTF! She calls that big? Even I, am bigger than him and I¡¯m still a growing kid! If I continue eating all my food like I¡¯m doing, it will grow even more!¡± thought Harry, but the truth was that it wouldn¡¯t. If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation. He might look like a 12 year old but in reality he was over 300 years old, during which he didn¡¯t even gain an inch in height or in other areas¡­He still remained the same. BACK TO THE COUPLE IN THE ROOM¡­ "Ahhhh," Eric moaned, his hips jerking under Moira¡¯s stroking fingers. Moira saw a white drop of jizz seep from his piss-slit. "Is that your cum, baby?" she asked faking innocence. "Yeah, baby," he groaned. He jerked up, driving his prick through her fingers. "Can I lick your mighty sword my hero?" Eric twisted on his back. Moira¡¯s soft innocent voice rang in his head. "Yeah, baby. Kiss it. Do anything you want to it." ¡°Oh, I intend to¡± She said with a smirk, wrapping her ruby lips around his ¡°weapon¡±. Gurgling noises came from her mouth, blending with his groans. When he jerked back, she sucked deep, making him twist his hips and groan. "Baby," he growled hoarsely. "Ooooh, sweet baby!" Moira felt his mighty sword swell in her mouth and sensed by his quickening pace that he was getting ready to cum. "I''m there, Moira! Don''t take your mouth away," Eric was in a frenzy, driving his prick in and out of her greedy mouth. His balls rumbled, swelled, ready to explode. "Aghhhh!" he screamed as he released his hot cream in her mouth. She gulped, his cock about empty. She sucked, wanting every drop. Drawing in her cheeks, she sucked the last remaining drops of his cream into her mouth. "Oooh, baby. Enough. It''s sore from your mouth." Eric groaned, jerking his hips, his once mighty sword already spent and now limp, his balls empty as he fell on to the mattress. ¡°¡­.¡± already done? It only took less than 3 mins, thought Moira, but she was far than done with him tonight, she smirked evily. ¡°Is the ¡°big¡± soldier tired? Maybe I can resuscitate him¡­..¡± she said with a seductive smile on her lips as she once again wrapped her slender fingers around his pole. True enough in a few moments the mighty sword had been successfully resuscitated and it was hard and ready to go. ¡°I just hope he lasts longer this time¡± Moira thought hopefully as she squatted above him, grasping his erect manhood in her fingers and began rubbing the bloated tip through the hot, juicy wetness of her red furred pussy (all natural readhead). She was wrapped around Eric¡¯s tall, handsome, muscular body like a boa-constrictor, her sweet round ass was bobbing and weaving wildly over his cock as Eric rammed his pole of fuck-muscle deep into her tight, young pussy. Her legs were spread wide apart so as to get more of Eric¡¯s hard prick into her hungry hole, her cute, little pink anus opening and closing each time she raised and lowered her hips., her wavy red hair and large breasts bouncing up and down. "Ohhhh, Jeez!", gasped Moira, grinding her pink swollen cuntlips down over her Eric¡¯s cock, "I love it! I love it!" Eric knew she was close to orgasm, just by the way her hips writhed and squirmed onto his cock, but he was also at his limit 10 mins have already passed and he was close to his limit! ¡°"Aghhhh!" he screamed as he released his hot cream in her hole. ¡°¡­..¡± ¡° You have to be shitting me! He came already? I didn¡¯t even come yet!¡± thought Moira ¡° What do I do now? But what the hell am I thinking? Of course I am going to fake it!!!¡± 3 secs later she started screaming her lungs off ¡°Ahhhhhh! G....God, Errriic! f... uhhh... fuck! I''M CUMMMMMMMING!¡± After the great performance, she lay seemingly spent and satisfied on top of his naked sweaty torso, his manhood, now utterly dead with no chance of resuscitation, still embedded deep in her. ¡°So, baby you are going to buy me that necklace, right? Don¡¯t you think I deserve it?¡± she said while playing with his golden hair and nipping seductively his left ear lobe. ¡° While I think I already gave you a gift tonight by giving an earthblowing orgasm¡± ¡°¡­.¡± She stares at him angrily. ¡° But sure, I¡¯ll give that to you as well¡± ¡°Yay! Thank you darling! You are the best!¡± she said standing on her feet putting her robe on and already walking to the door. ¡°What are you leaving already? Won¡¯t you spent the night here with me?¡± asked Eric. ¡° Oh, baby, I would love too. But you got me all sweaty that I need a bath. Besides, if I spent the night here people might find out about us and we don¡¯t want that to happen. At least not yet. Right, baby?¡± ¡°You are as always right babe. Now go, we don¡¯t want you missing out on your beauty sleep right? he said with a wink. ¡° No we don¡¯t¡± she said as she blew him a kiss and then left PORKER¡¯S POV What it¡¯s already done? I didn¡¯t even finish my snacks yet. 15 mins? That¡¯s the hero¡¯s limit in endurance? Disgraceful! Unbelievable! And his mighty sword¡­.don¡¯t even get me started on that! That thing barely counts as a dagger and a cheap one to boost! Once it strikes, it breaks! And he didn¡¯t even want to buy that necklace she was asking? Cheapskate! This woman clearly deserves not only a freaking necklace, she deserves a golden statue !!! ( AN: I hope you get that I am referring to an OSCAR) She was so altruistic! You can¡¯t find women like that anymore! She gave him two and received none! What a woman! What a performance!!! Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! ¡°Moira you have my utter respect ! You girl can fake it till you make it!¡± thought Harry as he flap his cute little bat wings to fly back to his room. Chapter 8 D: R-18++ Same warning as before. Thisd chapter contains mature content. So don''t read if you are not of legal age in your country. Chapter 9 D¡¯ :R-18++ Once again back to his room, Harry, alias Heidi, was ready to get back to bed, thinking about his ¡°daddy¡¯s¡± performance. ¡°For a swordsman he sure does not act like it. He acts more like an archer, lol, he shoots too fast!!!! ¡±. He was already lying on his bed, ready to close his eyes and go to sleep, when his ultra sonic hearing abilities once again caught the sound of his ¡°mother¡¯s¡± room door opening. He focused on the sounds of her steps leaving her room and going to Eric¡¯s room for round 2?....No, that was¡­She was going to the elf¡¯s room? Rushing out of her bed Heidi changed into her bat form, grabbed the rest of her beef jerky and flew out of her room¡¯s window into the moonlit nigh to once again peep, ehem, observe Moira¡¯s night sexcapades. Casually taking his spot on the window¡¯s ledge outside of the elf¡¯s room Harry peeked inside. THIRD PERSON¡¯S POV Moira, the redheaded sorceress knocked the door. Not waiting for the occupant of the room to let her in, she turned the knob and entered the room, striding in towards the bed, were the elven archer was currently lying in a shin emerald green robe that by the tent currently rising from his crotch, made it perfectly clear that he was not wearing anything under it. Her wavy red hair that were loose a few moments ago, were now neatly tied into a ponytail. The purple robe she was wearing when she ¡°visited¡± Eric, was also gone to be replaced by a fiery red robe, held loosely by a belt, and it was clear she was also naked under it. The elf, whose name was Helion, was a bishounen and the archer in the heroes¡¯ party. A very handsome man with somewhat effeminate traits. His long straight blond hair, were reflecting the light shining down from the moon through the window, giving him an ethereal allure. A delicate nose, pointy ears, a smooth without a blemish face, deep green eyes that made ones mind go to the leaves of the sacred and mysterious tree Yggdrasil in the elven land, a tall and slender body with almost no muscle which if not the prominent bulge on the front of his robe one might think it belonged to a woman, was this man¡¯s main characteristics. This was a man with an exotic appearance, so handsome and alluring that he could make any woman fall in love with him. His delicate features gave him an air of vulnerability one that would strike any woman¡¯s chord for protection and his sinful body would rise lust to even a nun. Moira had reached the edge of the bed, she leisurely discarded her robe, her glorious 36 DD breasts bouncing as she climbed on top of him. ¡°So is the fool going to buy you that necklace you asked him to?¡± asked Helion, stroking the hair of the woman in his arms. ¡°Yes, we are going to buy it tomorrow. You know he can never say no to me!¡± said the seductive sorceress, sliding Helion¡¯s robe of his shoulders so she could caress the naked chest under it. ¡°Good. So you will give it to me right? You know my people truly need the money. We suffered a lot from the demonic invasions and it will help a lot¡± said Helion. ¡°Hmm, I don¡¯t know¡­ I could give it to you, but what will you give me in return?¡± asked Moira seductively. PORKER¡¯S COMMENTARY Poor, poor woman! First it was the cheapskate ¡°daddy¡± Eric, which given the circumstances. I should call ¡°sugar daddy Eric ¡±, and now it¡¯s this blondie man-whore, the gigolo, Helion! Poor mommy Moira she has such a bad luck with men! I just hope this time she at least gets an orgasm out of him! BACK TO THE ROOM ¡°What do you want me to give you? I am but a poor elf, I have nothing but my body to offer you!¡± said Helion in fake pity. ¡°Well, it will have to do then!¡± said Moira with a smirk, licking her lips in a provoking way, as she totally took off the robe from Helion¡¯s body. She moved her naked body further up the bed where he was laying and standing up she lifted herself up looking provokingly into his forest green eyes, that were currently focused on her red-haired pussy. Moira¡¯s thighs automatically moved farther apart as he moved his face toward her. The lovely soft slit of her cunt was already damp with the pussy-juice that flowed just from the thought of having his mouth on her bloated cunt-lips. Helion reached out and his hands stroked her inner thighs. The seductive sorceress watched every movement as he slowly leaned forward. His lips puckered and he pressed them firmly against her wet pussy. ¡°Ohhhhhh,!¡± Moira cried, her voice trembling and her body shaking with the red-hot thrills that raced through her. ¡°Ohhhh, that feels soooo good!¡± While Moira continued to watch her lover¡¯s lewd actions, Helion slowly extended his tongue while his fingers gripped each side of her womanhood. Easing the plump lips of her pussy apart with his hands, he let the tip of his tongue trace up and down. ¡°Ohhhh, sweeet Fraya!¡± she groaned with wild abandon as the man''s tongue moved up and down her cunt-slit and inner cunt-flesh. Helion moaned with desire. His tongue still embedded in her quivering cunt-flesh, he began to rub her twitching clit with one finger. ¡°Aieeeee!¡± Moira shouted. Her body shook uncontrollably as his tongue and finger stirred within her pussy. She reached down and caressed the man''s cheeks, showing her deep gratitude to him for making her feel so good. Her fingertips could feel the motion of his darting tongue within his mouth and she thrilled to the obscene sensations. Her eyes feasted on the moist, pink tongue that lashed up and down the wet slit of her cunt. Helion used his tongue to tease her into even more desire before he finally drilled his hard tongue into her steaming pussy-hole. He twisted his tongue about within her hot, wet pussy-hole as she moaned and bucked above him. The elven archer¡¯s hungry mouth made wet, smacking sounds as he continued to eat her pussy and the erotic sounds just served to turn her on even more as she writhed above him. She pushed herself forward on the edge of the bed and forced even more of her wet pussy against his face. Thick, hot cunt-juices flowed into Helion¡¯s mouth from her cunt and he eagerly swallowed every drop of the delicious-tasting fluid. ¡°Aieeeee! Commmiiinnnggg!¡± she cried suddenly, putting both her hands on the back of his head and shoving his mouth into the dampness of her cunt. Her orgasmic cries filled the room and her violent shuddering shook the bed as she came. She thrashed and writhed as the archer¡¯s tongue fucked in and out of her pussy relentlessly until her orgasm subsided. Helions face glistened with the moisture of Moira¡¯s secretions as he rose and stood over her. He then picked her up bridal style and moved her toward the desk. He had her sit on the desk¡¯s edge. He stood before it and bent his legs so that he was in the best "entering" position. Moira braced herself by putting her arms around his neck, pulled first the right, then the left leg up onto his shoulders. She then leaned back as Helion started the thrusting by holding on to her bum! PORKER¡¯S COMMENTARY ¡°Quelle flexibilit¨¦!!! Moira never fails to amaze me! This position! It¡¯s the Erotic V!!! Never thought I would actually see it! The woman has to have acrobatic skills to perform it. If not then¡­.she might need a healer. But ¡°mommy Moira is a true sexual artist!¡± Harry Porker thought while watching the ¡°show¡± and munching with gusto his beef jerky. BACK TO ACTION ¡°Ohhhhh, God!¡± Moira groaned under the heavy impact of Helion¡¯s expert fucking. ¡°Harder! Give it to me harder! Harder!¡± she urged him on. Helion responded. He plowed in and out of her womanhood with a vengeance now, thrusting his huge cock-rod in and out between the oozing lips of her cunt. His prick, throbbing and hard, shot into her pussy deeply. ¡°Yesssss, that''s it, that''s it!¡± she hissed Deeper and deeper the man''s pistoning cock-shaft drove into her wide-open pussy. And harder and harder she thrust her cunt up to him. Suddenly, Moira came. ¡°Commmiiinnnggg!¡± she screamed as her legs squeezed him, holding him hard with her body as waves of mind-blowing pleasure cascaded through her. Lowering her legs gently from his shoulders, he once again picked her up and moved her back to the bed. PORKER AGAIN ¡°What he¡¯s not done yet? He can still go on? This guy is a monster!!!! He must really want that necklace. Oh, let¡¯s see what is he going to do now? Ah, basic missionary? Noooo, its not that! It¡¯s, it¡¯s¡­the Glowing triangle! At first glance, the Glowing Triangle position reminded me of the classic missionary position - woman on her back and the man on top. However the trick with this position is that the man goes on all fours then the woman lifts her hips towards his penis so that he can penetrate her. Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work!The man remains in this position while the woman does all the work... so actually not like the missionary at all.!!¡± ¡°Looks like Moira came again and they are still going at it. They are changing position again. Can¡¯t wait to see what¡¯s next!¡± ¡°No way!!! They are doing the Ape position!!!¡± Currently, Helion was lying on his back with his knees pulled up to his chest. Moira was sitting backwards and sliding his penis inside while propping herself up on his feet. ¡°Moira is truly a sexual artist ! The woman must have adequate muscle power and balance for this position. She also reaches down and grabs his wrists to make movement simpler. Ah looks like she came again. Damn she¡¯s going to make him work extra hard I guess to get what he wants!¡± ¡° Now, what else are they going to show me? Oh! Well, why am I not surprised? It¡¯s the Hero position!¡± BACK TO THE ROOM Moira and Helion were locked in the Hero sex position. She was laying on her back with her knees pulled up to her chest, feet extended up towards the ceiling. Helion was kneeling down thighs under her bum so she could rest on him as he entered her. He was using his free hands to press her thighs back towards her chest to aid penetration. Helion began to slowly wriggle his hips, taking his time to let her adjust to his big size. She grunted and groaned with each move, the flared head of his cock raking against the inner walls of her hot womanhood. Their bodies began to move in concordance, pushing and pulling against each other. Her insides were sheer heaven, and his cock was like a rake digging into her drenched walls. "Oh, yes...mmmm...ahhh.....so...mm...good....He..Helioon," she cried, her body wracked with incredible feelings of pleasure. She was creaming all over him, her pussy swelling and squeezing around his mighty sword as her climax erupted. "Oh...oh yes....so...so....good....cum..cum...cummminggggggg!" He pushed forward with his cock and pulled back with a string of lightning fast strokes. The conflicting sensations doubled the intensity of her orgasm, and the juice rushed to the lips of her pussy. "Yeah, baby....so good. You feel so, fucking good," he moaned back to her, her pussy soaking into his cock like a wet sponge. "Mmmmm, yeah....cum all over my cock. Cum on me, oh yes." They pushed and pulled again and again, his rigid cock slicing into her. He moved his hand from her hip and tugged on her nipple, his large palm cupping her firm breast. Their words mingled together in cries of pleasure, and the archer felt the fuse ignite on his own climax. As he felt the welcome tingle start in his balls, he began to plunge his cock into her. He moved his hand back to her hip and started to drive into her, Moira grunting out on each thrust. His cock was stabbing deeper and deeper with each push, and Moira was lost in a new world of ecstasy. "Oh honey...oh honey...so close, so fucking close!" he cried to her, the cum bubbling over in his balls. ¡°Oh fuck, I am going to cum....I am going to explode inside you!" His words electrified her, and she slammed her body back against him, impaling herself on his thick shaft. She felt his cock flex inside her body, and she said "Oh honey, I love that feel. It gets me crazy when I feel you shoot off inside me." Helion shot off in a tremendous, intense orgasm at the words of the sorceress. His cum shot into her body like a meteor, his blast sizzling all over her insides. "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHMMMMMMMMPPPPPHHHHHHH!!!!" came out in a blood curling screech from Moira and her pussy reacted in an inferno of cum. ¡°That was really good Helion, thank you! I really needed this, with all the shit going on with the Demon King and that moron Eric!¡± said Moira finally satisfied and exhausted as she laid in the arms of the archer. Both were breathing heavily, their bodies flushed and glistening with sweat as well as ¡­¡­other body fluids! ¡°No problem Moira! You know my door is always open for you!¡± said Helion ¡° But you have to go back to your room soon. It¡¯s almost morning and we don¡¯t want anyone seeing you coming out of my room, right?¡± ¡°Geez! I know just let me rest a few minutes, will you? I can¡¯t even feel my legs!!¡± ¡°Sure, babe!¡± PORKER¡¯S COMMENTARY ¡° It¡¯s quite obvious now why his name is Helion. He can make you come you a million! Countless sex positions, almost infinite stamina, endurance and flexibility! He¡¯s a monster and a gigolo master! They¡¯ve been going at it for almost 3 hours non stop. I didn¡¯t even get to sleep yet. Good thing it¡¯s finally over. It¡¯s way past my curfew!!! I guess it¡¯s time for me to go back to my room , but first let¡¯s check up on the priestess and the trap and see what those guys are up for.¡± Flying away from Helion¡¯s room, he reached the priestess room. ¡°The light is still on? What is she doing?¡± he muttered to himself as he took a peek through the window. Currently Sachiko was reading maniacally a book, pacing up and down her room. She sometimes stopped before her mirror to practice some sentences. Harry Porker put his supersonic ability one more time to use as she listened to what she was saying. ¡°The fat kid was lying! He was not translating correctly the things you said!¡± Sachiko was currently saying. ¡°What? That bitch is trying to blow the whistle on me? And who is she calling fat? I¡¯m not fat! I am still growing, it¡¯s a growing spurt thing!¡± he muttered through clenched teeth. Unable to control his anger, a voice was heard in the night ¡°¦­¦¡ ¦µ¦¡¦² ¦²¦ª¦¡¦³¦¡ ¦ª¦¡¦© ¦­¦¡ ¦°¦¡¦² ¦²¦³¦¯ ¦¤¦©¦¡¦¯¦«¦¯! ¦¶¦¯¦­¦³¦±¦¯¦ª¦¸¦«¦¡!¡± (TN: It¡¯s greek aka in the demonic language lol and it means Eat shit and go to hell! Fat ass!) Sachiko was surprised. Here she was busy studying in the middle of the night the demonic language in order to be ready for the next encounter with the demon general and she heard someone yelling something in the demonic language! Bewildered, she turned her gaze to the source of the sound outside her window. The only thing she saw was a small black bat sitting there, wearing¡­glasses? Shaking her head to clear her thoughts she once again turned towards the window only to see¡­ nothing. The bat was gone! ¡° I must be imagining things¡± Sachiko whispered to herself. ¡° All this reading made me really tired better go sleep, I still have time to study till we reach the dungeon again.¡± Meanwhile, Porker was flying away reprimanding himself ¡°Damn, I was so stupid yelling at her. My cover was almost blown! But she got me so aggravated! Calling me fat, ha! Has she taken a look at her ass? ¡°Anyway let¡¯s check what the trap is doing.¡± He reached Marion¡¯s window and what he saw inside made his jaw drop. ¡°No way, Helion and the trap? That guy can still go on?¡± Inside Marion¡¯s room, he and Helion was currently locked in the doggy style position. Helion was on the bed on all four facing the headboard, as Marion was slamming into his glory hole from behind ¡°Oh, who would have thought that the trap would actually be the ¡°seme¡± and Helion the ¡°uke¡±. I¡¯m over 300 years old and seems that there are still things to see. ¦£¦Ç¦Ñ¦Á¦Ò¦Ê¦Ø ¦Á¦Å¦É ¦Ä¦É¦Ä¦Á¦Ò¦Ê?¦Ì¦Å¦Í¦Ï?¡± Harry told himself ( TN: I grow old always learning, a quote from Solon.) ¡°Although, I am not really into this type of shows, I still have to observe you, never know what I might find out about them.¡± Ever so diligent about his mission Porker stayed till the first rays of morning light appeared on the horizon, ¡°observing¡± his targets. He was tired from staying up all night and he started getting hungry again. Well, soon it¡¯s going to be time for breakfast he thought encouraging himself to persevere. Finally the loving couple inside was done with their vigorous exercise and the trap said to Helion ¡°So, is she going to give you the necklace my love?¡± ¡°Sure she will, baby! I¡¯ve made sure to make her extra satisfied, which let me tell you was no easy task! I even had to take one of those blue vigour pills just to be able to perform. But rest assured baby, once I get the necklace I¡¯m going to give it to you as I always do with all the things she gives me. Soon enough, we will have enough money to buy some land of our own where we can finally spent the rest of our lives together¡± ¡°That¡¯s the plan honey¡± said the trap lovingly looking into the archer eyes. ¡°I¡¯m going to puke!¡± muttered Harry. ¡°Seriously what¡¯s wrong with this heroes party? Everyone is fucking everyone! Well except from the priestess who¡¯s trying to fuck ME over!¡± ¡°Ah, I¡¯m so tired! I¡¯m going to bed. I still have a busy day tomorrow. Tomorrow will be my last day here and I have so much left to do¡­¡­.¡± Chapter 9: Gone with the wind CHAPTER 9: GONE WITH THE WIND It was early in the morning when Heidi, heard a knock on her room¡¯s door, followed by the voice of Erica the innkeeper ¡°Sweetie, wake up! Breakfast is ready!¡±. A couple of minutes later a cute little chubby Lolita, with her eyeglasses and her pink frilly dress was seen walking down the stairs. Upon seeing the dark circles and the blood shot eyes of the little girl, Erica exclaimed in surprise: ¡°Oh what happened sweetie! Were you crying? Did you see a nightmare?¡± ¡°What? Why does she think I was crying?.... but of course! I must look like shit! I didn¡¯t get to sleep at all last night.¡± thought Heidi before answering in all ¡°honesty¡± Erica¡¯s question. ¡°No onee-chan, Heidi was not crying. Heidi just couldn¡¯t sleep because there was so much noise!¡± ¡°What do you mean there was noise? I didn¡¯t here anything at all last night!What happened? Tell Erica onee-chan all about it.¡± ¡°Well you see¡­ first mommy Moira visited papa¡¯s room, which as you know is right next to mine, so that they could practice wrestling for the battle against the Demon King. They were grunting, moaning, they must be practicing pretty seriously. But daddy must be pretty tired because after 15 minutes, they stopped and mama left his room.¡± ¡°Oh¡± said Erica, knowing exactly what type of wrestling they were doing. Yet, the next thing she heard coming from the little girl¡¯s mouth literally blew her mind off. ¡°But mommy clearly was not done exercising so she went to that elf¡¯s archer room to continue. I could hear her scream ¡°Harder and harder¡± I think and they were also doing some difficult combat practice, because I could also hear them grunting and moaning. Helion onii-chan though clearly was not as tired as daddy Eric, because they kept wrestling for 3 hours non stop.¡± ¡°In fact after mommy left, Helion onii-chan was not tired at all. So, he went to onii-chan, Marion¡¯s room to continue practicing and they just kept going at it till it was morning. So as you can see Erica nee-chan, Heidi couldn¡¯t sleep at all!¡± ¡°What on god¡¯s name went down last night in my inn? Those heroes¡­. They turned my inn into a brothel! I will have to charge them extra for new sheets. I¡¯m going to burn the ones those guys were using! And Eric, the hero, could only last 15 minutes? No wonder his wife Moira had so much jewelry, he¡¯s clearly trying to compensate for his inadequacy in bed with them. Yet who could have guessed that Moira was sleeping with the elf Helion, who clearly can last longer than the hero and that Helion is sleeping with the trap Marion? Oh wait till the girls in the village learn about this!¡± thought Erica, silently promising to herself to spread the news. All those thoughts running through the innkeeper¡¯s mind were clearly seen by Heidi, that¡¯s the reason after all that she divulged those crucial piece of information to her. Erica onee-chan after all knew how to keep a secret¡­NOT! ¡°By the way little Heidi what about the priestess, lady Sachiko? What can you tell me about her? Did you hear any sounds from her room?¡± asked Erica hopefully, trying to dig up even more juicy gossips about the heroes. ¡° No, no sounds of wrestling came from Sachiko¡¯s onee-chan¡¯s room. She was mostly quiet¡­ though when I went to visit her room to tell her goodnight, just before I went in, I think I heard her speaking in a very scary voice some words in some foreign language. It sounded pretty demonic to me though.¡± Erica knew all about Sachiko¡¯s purchases in the village of Larnia and she had already heard rumors about her buying all the books on demonic language she could find, but everyone thought that she was just trying to gather them in order to destroy them as that was to be expected of a priest, not to read them! What was this priestess planning? ¡°Seriously what¡¯s wrong with the heroes¡¯ party? First we¡¯ve got Eric who is secretly married to Moira and they even have twin offsprings. Futhermore, even he seems trustworthy and decent, in truth he¡¯s an alcoholic, snobby, arrogant bastard and clearly incompetent in bed. After that, we have the sorceress Moira, who although she has children and is a married woman, it is crystal clear that she married Eric only for his money and that she seeks sexual release in the arms of the handsome elf Helion. And as if that wasn¡¯t scandalous enough, we have the swordswoman Marion who is actually a man and a trap to boost it all! He is also fucking the handsome Helion. As if us women didn¡¯t have enough competition we also have this damn trap to deal with, who lured that hunk Helion! Helion, oh Helion! That elf must truly be a beast in bed! He can go all night! Oh I wish I could take him for a test drive! Last, but not least, we have lady Sachiko the priestess who is also learning the demonic language as for what reason no one can tell. How the fuck were these guys chosen to lead us against the Demon King? They are all perverts!¡± thought Erica, before her attention was once again turned towards Heidi ¡°Oh sweetie, I am so sorry you couldn¡¯t sleep last night. Let me make it up to you with breakfast, what would you like to eat? We have boiled eggs, omelettes, pancakes, muffins, cookies¡­ tell me what would you like to eat?¡± ¡°Hmm, I would like the usual please!¡± said Heidi sweetly to the innkeeper ¡°The usual being?¡± asked Erica confused ¡°Silly onee-chan! But of course I mean what I ate last night. 3 steaks tartar and 3 steaks bleu. Oh and don¡¯t forget not to put any garlic in any of my plates please, you know why.¡± ¡°This kid, Eric and Moira how long where they keeping it unfed? This sort of appetite is not healthy at all. Heidi¡¯s stomach is like a bottomless pit! Well, at least here she can eat as much as she wants who knows when she will eat this well once she gets back home. Poor child¡­¡± thought Erica before nodding her head to Heidi and promising to prepare what she asked in a few minutes. After all preparing some raw steaks wouldn¡¯t take long at all. ¡°By the way Erica nee-chan I would like for some things to be delivered in my room.¡± said Heidi. ¡°Oh you mean you need something other than the things you asked me to prepare on your list? Don¡¯t worry about it, just tell me what it is and I will tend to it. Before, I forget, all the things you previously asked for will be delivered this afternoon in your room. It seems that it didn¡¯t take as long as I thought¡± said Erica, avoiding to mention that of course it wouldn¡¯t take long since she bought all the things without even bothering to barter the price. In fact, she bought them overpriced after she mentioned some things about Eric to the shopkeepers aka that he thought of them as plebeians as well as the way he was treating his daughter. ¡°Thank you Erican nee-chan, You see, what I would like to do is paint something ¡­I got inspired last night, so I thought that I should paint a picture of mommy. That¡¯s why I need a blank canvas and some colors. Do you think you could get them for me Erica nee-chan?¡± ¡°But of course my love!¡± replied Erica and she rushed outside to go and get the things her cutie pie, Heidi, asked. She truly loved the chubby Lolita, she was so fun to talk and be with and she clearly trusted her so much! Heidi was currently sitting on one of the dining tables at the inn, enjoying her hearty breakfast when the heroes¡¯ party made its appearance. ¡°Oh, look what the cat brought in! If it isn¡¯t¡¯ mommy Moira and her ¡°friends¡±!¡± thought Heidi and immediately stood up to greet her mommy, completely disregarding everyone else. ¡°Good morning nee-chan Moira! You look so beautiful today! A bit tired I guess, but still beautiful! I truly admire you a lot! You are the best! If my mommy was still around, she would surely like to meet you!¡± said Heidi excitedly. Her black eyes behind her eyeglasses were shining with stars of admiration while looking at the seductive sorceress from head to toe. It seemed as if she was trying to burn the image of her in her head. Moira looked at the chubby Lolita bewildered. She was being greeted so amicably, as though the little girl knew her inside and out! She was being bathed with compliments that would clearly make any woman happy, if not for the way the little girl was looking at her. Those eyes were like the eyes of a stalker obsessed, of a predator. She was being checked out and looked at lecherously by the little girl. Shaking her head to clear those thoughts that she deemed were paranoid yet unknown to her at the time right on the spot, she nodded her head in acknowledgment and answered with a smile on her face. ¡°Well, thank you little one, you look really cute yourself today.¡± ¡°I know, but still thank you. Now you can go on and eat your breakfast, I know you must be pretty famished after last night.¡± said cryptically the chubby Lolita and giving Moira a wink at the end. After that she sat back to her table and continued stuffing her face with the bloody meat. Moira looked at the girl puzzled wondering what she meant, what that playful wink was for, before she decided that it was all the nonsense talk of a child and went on to sit with her teammates. After finishing her breakfast little Heidi decided to take a little stroll around the village of Larnia. After all, a little bit of exercise after eating never hurt anyone and this would be the last time she would be here, as she soon had to leave. All the villagers in Larnia already knew her name and were greeting her amicably, although if one looked carefully, he would also see pity in their eyes. It was as if they were feeling sorry for some reason for the little girl. All of them were eager to stop her on her way and offer her free snacks, and various knick-knacks such as ribbons for her hair, lollipops, beef jerky, candies, flowers. Even when passing in front of the mayor¡¯s house he came out, just to greet her. He was an old, bald, chubby man, who even gave her a memento for her visit. This novel is published on a different platform. Support the original author by finding the official source. It was the village¡¯s key, a small bronze key purely of decorative value that had engraved on it ¡°DON¡¯T GIVE UP HEIDI, WE SUPPORT YOU¡± . Although perplexed as to the reason why she was given such an item, Heidi simply took it, thanking the man and thinking to herself ¡°If it¡¯s free, it¡¯s good¡±. After finishing her small walk, she once again found her way back to the inn and to her room, where currently all the painting tools were ready to be used in the creation of a masterpiece. Bracing herself, Heidi put herself to the task. She was painting all afternoon, only stopping when it was dinner time to eat her ¡°usual¡±. Morning came and Heidi was finished, she was awfully tired but very pleased with the outcome of her efforts. Her ¡°masterpiece¡± was currently hanging on her room¡¯s wall above the bed¡¯s headboard. Finishing up all the preparations for her departure, meaning, putting all her loot/purchases in her cute little white handbag and making sure to sign the masterpiece on the wall, she went out of her room looking one last time at the painting and took the stairs leading downstairs to the innkeeper¡¯s reception desk. ¡°Nee-chan Erica, I am now leaving. Thank you for all the things you have done for me during my stay here. I will never forget you. You will always hold a special place in my heart, you really helped me a lot!¡± said Heidi faking tears due to the imminent separation. Meanwhile, Erica was unable to hold her own tears as she gave a hug to Heidi. ¡°I will not forget you either little Heidi. None of us here in Larnia will ever forget you. But won¡¯t you say goodbye to your daddy and mommy before you go? Oh look! There they are. Let¡¯s go together¡± Grabbing her chubby little hand, not really giving her the time to react, Erica led Heidi to Moira and Eric who were just ready to go outside, probably to the market. ¡°Sir Eric, lady Moira! Little Heidi is leaving aren¡¯t you going to say goodbye to her?¡± Surprised, the couple turned their gazes to the chubby Lolita and awkwardly said ¡°Ah yes, goodbye.¡± Erica stood there dumbfounded. How could those guys call themselves parents! They were acting so cold towards their cute little daughter! She deserved love! She was only a child that came to see her parents who she missed so much and they were treating her like that? That was unacceptable!!! The innkeeper fuming with anger was unable to contain herself any more. She was going to give them a piece of her mind! ¡°You¡­ you¡­.aren¡¯t you ashamed of yourselves? You are sending your only daughter away without anything as much as a kiss and a hug? How dare you call yourselves parents?¡± Both Moira and Eric stood there surprised as hell. The crazy innkeeper was yelling at them saying this chubby girl, was their daughter? What on Fraya¡¯s name was this chick thinking? They were too young to have a child. Hell they were not even married! Sure they were fucking, but no child was produced so far. Meanwhile, little Heidi was starting to sweat like a pig. ¡°Fuck!!!!¡± she thought .¡°I was this close! Damn Erica, now my cover will be blown!¡± ¡°We don¡¯t have a child! This chubby kid is no way in hell a child of mine! Look!!! (pointing to her voluptuous body). Does this body look like it gave birth?¡± yelled Moira, unable to control her temper. ¡°Yes! She is your daughter! Don¡¯t try to deny it. She even has her father¡¯s hair! After all the things this child did for you during her stay here, how dare you renounce your daughter, you whoring bitch? And you sir Eric, the so called hero! Aren¡¯t you ashamed to make your cute little daughter buy booze for you and your perverted friends? You drink so much, it¡¯s no wonder your ¡°mighty sword¡± lacks in endurance!¡± Eric was red from embarrassment and he stared angrily at Moira, whose face screamed that all of Erica¡¯s words were right on the mark, she meekly said to him: ¡° I didn¡¯t say anything¡­.you¡¯ ve got to trust me!¡± ¡°Ha, trust you, you say!¡± Erica continued her assault on the young pair. ¡°You even went to that hunk¡¯s, Helion¡¯s room after you left your husband¡¯s bed and you were at it for more than 3 hours. Don¡¯t think that I am not going to charge you for new sheets!!! Expect that to be as well in the bill, as well with all the things your cute little daughter bought for you. You freaks!¡± Once again Eric turned his angry gaze towards Moira: ¡°You bitch! You are also fucking Helion? Why? Wasn¡¯t I enough for you, that you had to go to his room as well? What, the orgasm that I gave you wasn¡¯t enough? You whore!!!¡± Moira¡¯s face went pale she couldn¡¯t deny his accusations, but if he thought that he could get away for calling her a whore, well he had another thing coming! ¡°Who are you calling a whore you asshole! Oh please, you didn¡¯t think I actually came from your toothpick of a dick, did you? I FAKED IT!!!!! Your ¡°mighty sword¡±? Ha, don¡¯t make me laugh! 15 minutes of ¡°fighting¡± and it was already broken! Now Helion¡¯s ¡°sword¡± that¡¯s what I would call mighty and he¡¯s an archer!¡± Things were getting heated, the trio¡¯s quarrel and yelling had managed to get the attention of the rest of the heroes party. Soon, Sachiko, Helion and Marion also appeared in the reception hall curious to see what was happening. ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why are you guys arguing?¡± asked Helion. ¡°Pftt, as if you don¡¯t know already! You slept with Moira.¡± Eric declared angrily. Helion was surprised that his nocturnal meeting with Moira was found out by Eric and he vehemently tried to deny it. ¡°No, no my friend. I didn¡¯t. Who is telling you these lies?¡± Being called a liar when all her information were coming from a reliable source, aka Heidi, made Erica¡¯s blood boiling with anger. ¡°Don¡¯t you try to deny it. You, you handsome punk! The little miss told me everything. She even told me about you and that trap over there!¡± she said pointing to Marion. Now it was Moira¡¯s turn to be surprised. ¡° What? Helion tell me it¡¯s not true! You and Marion? I don¡¯t believe this! You slept with that imitation of a woman when you just had a true woman like me in your bed a couple of minutes ago?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you dare speak that way about Marion! I love him! I was only with you for your money!¡± The heroes¡¯ party members were in an uproar cursing and yelling at each other. Only one of them was calmly assessing the situation and that was the priestess Sachiko. Her blue eyes were currently watching the chubby Lolita who was looking like she was having the time of her life. Well, she couldn¡¯t let things continue as they were. Soon, her teammates were going to tear each other¡¯s throats off! Coughing loudly to get everyone¡¯s attention in a loud clear voice she declared: ¡°Hey guys, don¡¯t you think you are all forgetting about the important thing here? That little girl, she¡¯s not Eric and Moira¡¯s daughter. She¡¯s clearly lying about that, so who¡¯s to say if the rest of the things she said are true. Although¡­ it appears all the things she said so far are true judging by your reactions¡­ Anyway, the main point here is that she is intentionally trying to make us argue. I say let¡¯s get her and interrogate her!¡± ¡°Fuck, the bitch priestess is too dangerous! I better scrum! Good thing I have my last trump card!¡± thought Heidi ¡°Erica onee-chan the demonic priestess is going to harm me, don¡¯t let her!¡± Heidi said faking fear to Erica, while making a run for it up the stairs and back to her room. Upon hearing Sachiko¡¯s voice of reason, everyone¡¯s attention was back to the perpetrator, Heidi. They started running after her, only to be stopped momentarily by the red head innkeeper who put her body forward to intercept them. ¡°I will not let you harm little Heidi, freaks!¡± she exclaimed only to be pushed aside by the 5 members who were running after Heidi up the stairs, after all, a simple innkeeper¡¯s strength was nothing compared to the heroes¡¯. Once they got to Heidi¡¯s room though and opened the door they were surprised to find ¡­.no one. The window was open. They looked down at the street but couldn¡¯t see her. There was nowhere in the room for her to hide. She had simple vanished! A sole little black bat was the only thing they could see on the sky, flying away and gone with the wind! What caught their attention as they turned their gaze back to the room, was a painting hanging on the wall above the bed¡¯s headboard. Moira gasped ¡°Is that¡­is this me?¡± True enough, the painting before them was a picture of Moira. She was wearing a black nightgown, loosely tied by a red belt, which was unable to maintain her glorious 36DD breasts from showing. Her pink nipples were clearly visible and were standing erected beckoning the viewers to them. Her rich red mane was blown by an invisible force and her beautiful purple eyes were looking down to the 2 figures in front of her. She was standing on top of a hill in all her glory gazing down to the two naked men at her feet. Behind her a city could be seen in flames and the sky was painted grey by the fumes. The men in front of her, were on all fours and they were wearing collars while their leash was at the hands of the seductive sorceress. Who were those men you ask? But of course by their faces it was clear it was Eric and Helion. At the right corner of the painting a small signature could be seen if one paid close attention. It read ¡°Vlad 3rd the Impaler¡± Everyone was silent with awe till a loud almost hysterical laugh could be heard. ¡°Ha, ha, ha I don¡¯t know who painted this, but I love it!¡± said Moira to the surprise of all her teammates. The lone bat in the sky heard her laugh and with a satisfied smile on its face making his fangs visible, said proudly: ¡°I knew you would! Wait till we meet again, then I will show you why they called me Vlad 3rd the Impaler!¡± Chapter 10: Mission complet. New mission? Chapter 10: Mission complete and a new mission? With his mission accomplished Harry Porker took the long way back to his Master. All and all, the mission was a huge success. Not only was his cover not blown till the end, he had also succeeded in learning valuable information about the heroes¡¯ party, which he was going to enclose in his report to his Master. The primary goal of procuring the booze with a discount was also completed successfully. Not paying for it at all still counted as a discount right? In fact it could be considered as an extra big discount! God bless daddy Eric! He¡¯s such a provider for his family! As a good subordinate he also made sure to bring back to his Master a present. He had to thank him properly after all for dressing him as a girl¡­ As such, what he got him as a gift, was the underwear of a certain lady in the heroes¡¯ party. It was a red thong! ¡°Oh, Master is truly going to love this!¡± he thought evilly. Five days of travel and he was back to the dungeon. ¡°Master, I am back! Veni, vidi, vici!!!¡± said Harry dressed in his Heidi disguise. (TN: "I came; I saw; I conquered", it is a Latin phrase. Its popular usage reportedly originates from a letter that Julius Caesar wrote to the Roman Senate around 46 BC, in the city of Zela, after achieving victory in his short war against Pharnaces II of Pontus at the Battle of Zela) ¡°Welcome back, agent Heidi¡± said Hitoshi mockingly. ¡°I see you didn¡¯t take off your disguise as instructed. Very good. Now come and give me your report. How did it go??¡± ¡°Master, I sacrificed my sleep and well being to gather information for you.¡± ¡°Yeah, yeah I¡¯m sure you did. Now tell me. What did you find out?¡± said Hitoshi unaffected. ¡°Okay, first of all, you have to know their names. That ikemen swordsman, his name is Eric, he¡¯s the son of Duke Philip ruler of the province of Allemagnia. He¡¯s an asshole who can¡¯t treat women right. He¡¯s arrogant, snobby and lousy in bed. You don¡¯t have to worry about him at all as he has zero endurance¡± ¡°Oy, Porker what do you mean he¡¯s lousy in bed? Don¡¯t tell me¡­.you slept with him? I didn¡¯t know you swing that way¡­.¡± said Hitoshi looking his subordinate under a new light. ¡°What? Hell no! Master what do you take me for? I have standards! Besides I am straight as an arrow you know! Just let me finish what I was saying now, will you!¡± said Harry puffing his chubby cheeks angrily. ¡°Okay go on then. Tell me¡± ¡°As I was saying, he¡¯s lousy in bed and I know that NOT because I slept with him, but because I saw him in bed with a certain lady of the heroes¡¯ party.¡± Upon hearing this, Hitoshi thought his heart stopped ¡°No please god, not my priestess! I am going to kill that incompetent bastard if he did anything to her!¡± ¡°Before you reach any curious conclusions Master, let me inform you that he was bedding, or at least trying to, a wonderful lady. A woman the likes of her I had not seen in my many years of life. She is cunningly smart, elegant, flexible and insatiable in bed and she is the seductive red-head sorceress in the heroes¡¯ party. Her name is Moira and believe me when I say Master that she is simply unbelievable!¡± ¡°Phew, thank god it was not my priestess. But never mind that. The little rascal seems quite smitten with this chick. I guess I should cross her out of my list to kill although I don¡¯t really like her. If I killed her then Harry Porker would probably eat me alive!¡± thought Hitoshi ¡°Lady Moira, oh lady Moira! You know, she has noble blood like me, although her family is probably facing some economical crisis. But that doesn¡¯t matter to me at all. Although I am prince and she¡¯s a viscount¡¯s daughter, I think we could make a fine couple. Ne, ne master don¡¯t you think we would make a nice couple?¡± ¡°Porker, I have no words for you. You and her? It seems to me like a match made in hell.¡± replied Hitoshi. ¡°So you think so as well Master! I knew it! We are fated to be together!¡± said the chubby vampire dreamily. ¡°Enough with the sorceress though. Tell me about the rest of them, what did you find out?¡± ¡°Oh, the swordwoman Marion, you know the trap. Apparently not many people know that she¡¯s actually a male. Don¡¯t be fooled by her though she might be looking all fragile and sensitive but she can tank quite well and take down skilled ranged fighters.¡± ¡°What do you mean by that? Speak clearly Porker! Is she dangerous? Should I worry? You know I am also especially skilled in ranged attacks!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s just say Master that I wouldn¡¯t want to turn my back to her while fighting¡± said Harry with innuendo. ¡°Hmm, ok noted. Continue.¡± said Hitoshi while thinking that indeed one should never turn his back to the enemy, completely missing the true point in Porker¡¯s saying. ¡°Now about the elf archer of the party. His name is Helion. That guy Master I think we have to kill. He is a double crosser, a player. He plays for both teams! We have to kill him I am telling you! He is quite the beast and we have to take him down. He¡¯s a menace for all of us (single guys)!¡± ¡°Ok calm yourself a little bit. If I deem that indeed he poses a threat to us I will take him down!¡± Hitoshi promised surprised that the little vampire was so adamant on killing the elf. ¡°And that¡¯s the end of my report Master¡± said Harry triumphantly turning away to go back to his room. ¡°Oy Porker! Don¡¯t you think you are forgetting someone?¡± Hitoshi awkwardly asked, trying to hide his anxiousness for learning about the beautiful priestess. After all she was the sole reason he sent Porker in this stupid mission. ¡°Hmm, no I don¡¯t think so Master. Who are you talking about?¡± asked Porker scratching his head puzzled. In reality though the cunningly smart chubby prince knew exactly who his Master was interested in. It was that shitty priestess! He has seen right through Hitoshi and he knew that his Master was quite taken by her. ¡°Ehem, you know weren¡¯t there also a priestess in the heroes¡¯ party? You know the one with the long dark brown hair, tall around 1.80, cute nose and beautiful blue eyes, if I remember correctly?¡± said Hitoshi terribly faking indifference ¡°Was there someone like that in the heroes¡¯ party?¡± Harry asked in faux ignorance but upon seeing Hitoshi¡¯s angry gaze, he hurried up to reply seriously: ¡°Oh, now that you mention it there was! Her name is Sachiko, the daughter of the Count ruling the province of Rosenburg in the Human Kingdom called Aeterna. She¡¯s not so wonderful, as lady Moira though. By the way, she also started to learn our language Master, I think that she intends to curse us the next time she meets us. Beware of her Master, she can be quite dangerous and nasty and she is also a fat ass!¡± ¡°Stop badmouthing her Porker! Shut your mouth and go to your room! No food for you tonight!¡± Hitoshi yelled angry with his subordinate for insulting the future Mrs Kurosawa. The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. ¡°That¡¯s okay, I have plenty of food of my own!¡± muttered Harry, thinking about the 500 pounds of meat currently waiting for him in his little white handbag made him already salivating. ¡°What did you say? Bring your bag over here, let me check what¡¯s in it! I have still to receive the booze from you.¡± ordered Hitoshi. Not waiting for a reply from Harry, he grabbed the handbag from his chubby little hands and looked at its contents. Sure enough inside was all the booze he told him to buy, but there was also many other things, that he didn¡¯t remember saying him to purchase. He furrowed his brows: ¡°Porker what are all those things inside here? Why do you still have the 300 gold? Did you steal them? How many times do I have to tell you that stealing is wrong? I told you to buy the booze with a discount not steal it! And why the fuck are there 500 pounds of meat? I want some answers and I want them now!¡± Hitoshi was shouting his lungs off. ¡°Master, please calm down! I didn¡¯t steal any of the things there. They were bought fair and square! Eric paid for them! Because the background story you gave me had so many flaws I had to improvise a bit! So, I told the guys in the village that I was his and Moira¡¯s daughter and that my daddy was going to pay for all the stuff. So you see, I got all the stuff for free. Now tell me didn¡¯t I get a huge discount or what?¡± ¡°Ha, ha, ha, ha (sfx maniacal laughter) indeed you did Porker. Bravo! You performed your task splendidly! You deserve all the extra things you brought back . Except the booze of course which we are all going to enjoy together by having a toast to Eric¡¯s honour! I don¡¯t care about the new clothes you got not even about the 500 pounds of meat, but I am quite curious what do you have wrapped up in this gift bag? It seems as a gift of some sort? Did you bring something for Niki, you know to thank her for ¡°lending¡± you her clothes?¡± ¡°Oh, Master, I almost forgot! But of course this is a gift for you! Come on open it and tell me if you like it!¡± said Porker excitedly ¡°A gift for me? You shouldn¡¯t have¡­ you little rascal!¡± said Hitoshi while unwrapping his gift only to be left surprised by the contents. ¡°What¡¯s this Porker? You brought me a red thong? Are you mocking me? You know perfectly well I don¡¯t swing that way!!!¡± Quick to explain himself and avoid any beating Harry said: ¡°No master. This thong is not just a thong. It is the thong of the priestess Sachiko. I brought it back to you as a gift to show you how much I appreciated you giving me this splendid mission. Now, take a look at it and tell me was I lying when I said that she¡¯s a fat ass?¡± ¡°Indeed the size is a little big , but nevermind that! I am keeping it who knows what you pervert is going to do with that if I give it back to you! Besides you said that this was my gift! So I am keeping and that¡¯s final!¡± Meanwhile, Nico and Niki, who had also arrived in the room and were watching the whole scene looked puzzled at the red thong in their Master¡¯s hand. Unable to contain her curiosity Niki lowered her head and whispered to Harry¡¯s ear: ¡°You do realize that the thong you just gave to our Master is not actually a woman¡¯s, right? It reeks of manly scent, which can only mean that this female undergarment was actually worn by a man. If Master finds out about it he¡¯s going to kill you! I should tell on you!¡± ¡°Ho,ho, ho as expected of our succubus, she can even catch a whiff of a man¡¯s smell even from a tiny piece of cloth that¡¯s ten meters away from her! But don¡¯t think you can threaten me! If you dare tell that to the Master then I will also tell him what you and Nico were doing in his bedroom while he was away dining with the Demon King and what the smell in his room afterwards really was!¡± Harry whispered in Niki¡¯s ear. Niki gulped and silently nodded to Harry that they had reached an agreement. After all, if Hitoshi ever found out that she and Nico also ¡°baptized¡± his bed and his desk while he was away, he would certainly flip. ¡°Okay guys, we have work to do. The heroes party will be here in about a month.¡± said Hitoshi, while pocketing his ¡°gift¡±. ¡°Actually Master I think it might take them longer than that!¡± interrupted Porker ¡°What? Why will it take them more than a month to come here? The distance from that village to here wouldn¡¯t take them more than a month if they used horses?¡± ¡°Well, I think they will be coming on foot. I don¡¯t think they have any money left to purchase horses.¡± said Porker without a hint of remorse on his face. ¡°¡­.Okay then we have even more time! You guys have to teach me the human language and some ways of wooing a lady, in the time it gets them to come back. I intend to confess to the priestess of the party. So I will be in your care for the remaining time. Take care of me please!¡± said Hitoshi slightly bowing his head to his subordinates/ future senseis. Niko and Niki the incubus, succubus couple were surprised, their jaws almost hit the floor when they heard their Master¡¯s, the Demon General¡¯s proclamation of love towards a human priestess. It was the first time during their time being under his command, aka in 50 years that they¡¯ve seen him show any sort of interest towards a female. They¡¯ve seen him warding off the advances of many famous female demons, making them silently wondering about his sexual preferences and yet here he was, declaring that he fell in love with a human. And even as if that wasn¡¯t enough of a shock to them, the one he actually was saying he was intending to confess to was a member of the heroes¡¯ party that came to slay the Demon King. But that was not all! Apart from her being a human, an enemy, the most important thing was that she was actually a priestess. A priest used holy spells that could be deadly for anyone of the demonic attribute. Yet, here was the General, their Master, ignoring all these facts as if they didn¡¯t matter at all saying that he would confess his love to her and expecting them to teach him the ways to win her heart. Nico and Niko being the type of demons they were they saw the longing, the yearning for the human priestess in their Master¡¯s eyes. How could they decline him when he was looking like that, when he was even ignoring his own status and bowing to them? So, after only looking at each others eyes to confirm that their decision was indeed the same. Both of them declared with certainty: ¡°We will try our best. Please take care of us.¡± On the other hand Harry Porker who was moved by the human sorceress couldn¡¯t really blame his Master. So, even though he thought that the shitty priestess was¡­ well a shitty choice for a lover he too said cryptically ¡°Let¡¯s all try our best and make this work.¡±
[quote=''stella'' pid=''326730'' dateline=''1441320524''] Leave some comments if you like the story. Chapter 11: Back to school. Chapter 11: Back to school. The first month of Hitoshi¡¯s lessons passed uneventfully. Nico and Niki were in charge of his human language lessons. They made him learn the alphabet and started on simple greetings like ¦ª¦Á¦Ë¦Ç¦Ì?¦Ñ¦Á=Good morning, ¦ª¦Á¦Ë¦Ç¦Ò¦Ð?¦Ñ¦Á=Good evening, ¦ª¦Á¦Ë¦Ç¦Í?¦Ö¦Ó¦Á=Good night, ¦£¦Å¦É¦Á= Hi, etc, only to move on with grammar, syntax and slightly more elaborate vocabulary later. Porker also tried to chip in to Hitoshi¡¯s education, but he was deemed unworthy due to his vulgar vocabulary and thus he was quickly dismissed. Still before being put to the side he had managed to rub in a few words to the Demon General¡¯s head such as ¦¬¦Á¦Ë?¦Ê¦Á?= Asshole, ¦²¦Ê?¦Ë¦Á= Bitch, ¦°¦Ï?¦Ò¦Ó¦Ç?=Faggot, Cocksucker, and various others in order for his boss to be ready to counter if such a verbal attack was ever launched against him. Two months had already passed and the apt pupil was showing great promise. His progress was quite spectacular. He was deeply motivated and eager to learn. The gift that Harry brought back for him was kept in his desk¡¯s drawer at his room and was a constant reminder of the reason why he was trying so hard. Upon waking and before sleeping, he would always hold it in his hands and taking in its sweet fragrance he was ready to face all the hurdles to surpass the linguistic barrier between him and his beautiful priestess. After those two months he could now talk quite fluently. Although his accent was somewhat heavy, yet that had to be expected as Nico and Niki also spoke the human language with a peculiar accent (imagine Nico short for Nicolas Romanov speaking English with a Russian accent while Niki short for Nicolette Scarlet speaking with a French one). But even that acquired accent gave Hitoshi a certain allure. The way he was now speaking the human language could remind one of a noble young man who has spent all his life travelling to exotic places. His senseis pleased with his progress deemed that he was now ready to step into the next class in his curriculum and that was the refined ways of wooing a lady of noble birth. The four of them, Hitoshi, Nico, Niki, and Harry Porker (due to his 300 years of experience Hitoshi also included the chubby vampire as his sensei this time) where currently sitting in the living courters of the dungeon. The fireplace was lit and the table that once housed their game of poker was now filled with books and notes from the human language lesson. Its¡¯ occupants were looking skeptically at their ¡°pupil¡±, who was looking at them with puppy dog eyes, eager to learn. ¡°Okay Master I will start with one important question that I believe all of us here would like to be answered as it will determine our course of action and the future lessons you need to learn.¡± said Harry with his teacher mode on. ¡°So¡­Master are you a virgin?¡± he asked cutting all pretenses and getting straight to the point. ¡°What?¡± said Hitoshi bewildered before all blood rushed to his head, painting his scary face red and in a low embarrassed tone answered: ¡°Yes¡± ¡°What was that Master? Speak up I didn¡¯t quite hear it!¡± said Harry taunting him to repeat his answer even though he clearly heard it the first time. ¡°I said YES god damn it! I am a virgin! I never had a girlfriend before!¡± All of the occupants on the table, simply exclaimed ¡°OH¡± and started whispering among themselves. ¡°What? Is it so bad that I have no previous experience? Do you think it will be impossible to teach me anything?¡± said Hitoshi anxiously thinking he was a lost cause. ¡°No, no¡­ not at all! Don¡¯t worry Master one way or the other we will teach you something. Now let¡¯s get started! I will point to you some things you absolutely need to make that shitty priestess yours. Grab your notebook, you need to write them down not to forget them.¡± Porker finally said. ¡°Ok, I am ready to take notes. Tell me what I need to prepare to make her my wife.¡± said Hitoshi excitedly while scribbling in his notebook. ¡°You need a club, some rope and a priest. And before you ask me why, I will tell you. The club is to make her unconscious, the rope is to tie her down and the priest of course is to marry you!¡± said Harry triumphantly. Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon. ¡°¡­..¡± ¡°¡­..¡± ¡°¡­..¡± A few moments later Harry was sitting quietly on the table with a black eye and a bump on his head. ¡°Master don¡¯t mind him, he was messing with you as usual¡± said Niki. ¡° What you really have to learn is the art of cunnilingus. If you are skilled in that then you can make any woman fall in love with you.¡± ¡°What is this curry¡­cunny¡­cunning lingus? Is it some sort of food? Do I have to learn cooking as well? Well I know that it is indeed very important to win a woman over, because Harry told me that a woman¡¯s heart passes through her stomach. But do you really think we have time for me to learn cooking as well?¡± asked Hitoshi innocently. Niki face palmed herself and was ready to answer him when Nico interrupted her ¡°Mon amour before we teach him how to ¡°please¡± a lady¡­. don¡¯t you think he first needs to learn how to ¡°crawl¡± before he learns how to ¡°walk¡±? We need to teach him how to properly woo a lady before he goes ¡°down¡± on her!¡± ¡°You are right mon cher.¡± said Niki amorously to her husband, before adding: ¡°You teach him how to properly speak to a lady, while I go fetch some oysters to later teach him how to go down on the priestess. I wish we had more time so you could also take him to a red light district. But ,alas, we don¡¯t have much time.¡± Hitoshi was looking at them talking. It all sounded Chinese to him, but one thing he understood was that Nico was to take on teaching him while Niki would go and fetch some seafood for them to eat later. Such a nice couple! Nico sent his wife off with a long deep wet kiss. After that he returned back to the task of teaching Hitoshi, who had pink cheeks from watching the loving display of the incubus-succubus couple. Nico coughed a bit to get him down to earth before starting: ¡°So, Master when addressing a lady one should always be polite. Don¡¯t be stingy with compliments. Bathe her in them! Tell her how beautiful she is, how her dress matches her eyes, how her eyes remind you of a wild tempest cooling off the fire in your heart and shit like that. But never, ever tell her that she looks fat. Even if she asks you ¡°Darling did I put on weight?¡± and even if it¡¯s true that she did, you should lie your ass off. Women may demand honesty, but let me tell you¡­ the truth should be always sugar coated when served to them!¡± ¡°When a woman talks to you, you should always be listening. Even if the topic is boring, just nod your head in acknowledgement and pretend as though it¡¯s the most interesting thing you ever heard. Even if you were not really paying attention to any of the things she said just nod your head and agree to everything. The golden rule is ¡°The woman is always right!¡± ¡° Don¡¯t forget her birthday or any sort of anniversary such as your first kiss, first date, hell first everything! Don¡¯t forget to buy her a gift as well. Even though she says she doesn¡¯t need it, she will get mad at you if you go to any of your anniversaries empty handed.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be late on your dates with her. Always be at your place of meeting at least 15 minutes earlier than her and even if she¡¯s late and asks you if you were waiting long just lie and say not at all.¡± ¡°You have to always open doors for her and pull chairs so she can sit. Never sit on the table before her and don¡¯t you dare order food without consulting her. If she¡¯s on a diet be careful what and how you eat in front of her. Don¡¯t pig out!¡± Hitoshi thought his brain was going to explode. He had so many things to remember, so many do¡¯s and dont¡¯s ! But one glance each night after his lessons at the red thong and he was revitalized to continue to persevere. As such, finally the day that the heroes arrived once more to the dungeon came. He was alerted of their arrival and once more he and Porker took their positions at the grand hall waiting to greet them. Chapter 12: Meeting up again. If you like the story leave comments. CHAPTER 12 : Meeting up again Once again the heroes¡¯ party found themselves in the grand hall leading to the Demon King. The demon General and his ¡°little translator¡± were there. Besides them though this time there were two more new individuals that caused different emotions as well as thoughts to come for the members of the heroes¡¯ party. On the outer left side of the Demon General was a demon male with short silver hair, a handsome face with dark blue eyes, pointy ears similar to those of an elf and a tall slender body. He was the epitome of pure masculine beauty. He appeared to be in the age of 30 and his skin color although a bit on the pale side, only added to his alluring ethereal appearance. ¡°Hmm, that¡¯s a fine looking man. I wonder if he is good in bed. Just looking at him makes me wet¡­.but what¡¯s with the scowl on that little guy¡¯s face? It¡¯s as if he¡¯s reading my thoughts and disapproving, though I must admit that despite being chubby looks cute as Hell! No, no I should not go that way¡­.I am not a shotacon¡± thought Moira eyeing both Harry and Nico. Meanwhile different thoughts passed through Sachiko¡¯s head, ¡°That guy, although I admit that he¡¯s handsome¡­.my holy sense tells me there¡¯s something wrong with him. He¡¯s definitely a player, so I would bet my robes he¡¯s definitely an incubus, one of those evil demons that seduce women and suck their life energy in bed!¡± A certain elven male just upon gazing on the man in front of him blushed like a virgin schoolgirl and dropped his eyes to the marble floor of the room, as if he was a cleaning lady looking for dirty spots. Yet the temptation for him to take a glance at that handsome silver haired man with the captivating blue eyes was too much for him to endure and he raised his head from time to time to look at him, only to return his gaze on the floor again, red faced from embarrassment. His ¡°partner¡± in bed on the other hand, ¡°lady¡± Marion, the human swordswoman trap, showed no embarrassment while looking at that delectable piece of pure male flesh in front of ¡°her¡±. With a provokingly vulgar way she passed her tongue wetting her lips, only to soon after send Nico an air kiss and winking at him with innuendo. The hero of the party, Eric, just casted a glance on him and looking him from head to toe thought ¡°Does that guy think he¡¯s handsome? Hmph, don¡¯t make me laugh! Even a blind man could clearly see that I¡¯m way more cool and ten¡­no make that a million times more handsome.¡¯¡¯¡¯ Dismissing him from his thoughts as someone not worth his time, his gaze fell on the woman right next to him and next to the Demon General. ¡°Now that¡¯s what I call a fine piece of ¡­. One glance at her and I am already hard. That¡¯s a woman that couldprobably make me go all night¡­!¡± The woman that Eric lecherously was looking at, was no other than Nicolette Scarlet, nicknamed (despite her own volition) Niki. She currently standing next to the Demon General. She was wearing a long red dress matching her fiery long, straight hair and as usual her dress had an abysmal d¨¦colletage, (it seemed her wardrobe mainly consisted of such garments), one that would make even a priest to forget his vows and denounce all his religious beliefs, if said priest wasn¡¯t actually a female and currently casting daggers with her eyes. Through her d¨¦colletage and the evident razor points poking at the silken fabric of her dress, it was evident that her huge 36D breasts were sans brassiere and not sagging at all! Even that diamond necklace on her neck, a set with her earrings and rings was unable to deflect the attention gathered to her glorious bosom. Well, at least it couldn¡¯t for any pure straight male and that was only Eric! Meanwhile, as her husband previously did, she also raised different feelings on our heroes First, it was Moira who upon looking at the dress style of the voluptuous succubus as well as her diamond accessories, was truly impressed. ¡°A truly admirable sense of fashion and an impeccable taste in jewelry. I could even be friends with her if she wasn¡¯t at the demons side. I just hope she drops the dress and the jewelry!¡± Meanwhile, the high priestess of the party was for a somewhat unknown reason to her, truly pissed with the succubus and thought: ¡° That slut! That woman has no shame flaunting her big breasts, I mean what¡¯s good at having them so big. Some men like them small you know! And my 36 B although a bit small are nevertheless perky. And don¡¯t get me started on her ass! I don¡¯t know who was the one that called me fat ass and in the demonic language (yes she figured it out what she has been called by Harry after studying) but my ass isn¡¯t fat. Now, hers is what I would call a big, fat ass. And why in god¡¯s name is she standing so close to the Demon Genera? What is she to him? Are they into some kind of a relationship?¡± The elven archer Helion on the other hand was looking curiously at Niki ¡°She looks familiar somehow¡­..¡± he thought. ¡°She reminds me of someone¡­ who could it be? Although, she would be considered a catch for most men with her huge breasts, juicy, bouncy ass as well as her jewelry she can¡¯t raise my ¡°flagpole¡±. I love Marion and I am faithful to him, I only sleep with women to earn money for our dream house! Ah, now I know whom she reminded me¡­of course! How didn¡¯t I see it before! 36D, slutty clothes, red hair, a clear passion for jewelry and sex. Yes, she must be somehow related to Moira!¡± You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story. Marion on the other hand was also giving the sexy succubus the stinky eye but for reasons totally different from Sachiko. ¡°Tsk, look at the cow! That dress and jewelry are clearly wasted on someone like her. They would obviously look better on me. After all I am the fairest of them all. Ha, ha, ha. Note to self :Not to forget to call dibs on the dress and her diamond set.¡± On Hitoshi¡¯s side, the members of his team, well apart from Harry who was only looking entranced at the red headed sorceress, had other thoughts going through their heads. The incubus-succubus couple¡¯s eyes were scanning the unfamiliar faces in front of them trying to locate the woman who had captured the heart of their Master. The lust that they arose to the heroes was completely dismissed at that time. After all, this was a couple being completely enamored with each other and sworn to monogamy. But upon looking at each and everyone of them, Nico quickly said to only crash the hopes of a certain couple between Eric¡¯s teammates ¡°Sorry guys, but I am not into guys. This body is only dedicated to the pleasure of women!¡±. Finishing his little speech with a wink at the truly female members though, earned him besides a smile from Moira, a kick on his left foot and a fear invoking glare from the woman standing beside him. Niki was clearly not amused with her husbands antics and gave him a friendly warning with a slight, ok let¡¯s be serious, a full force kick on his foot and a warning glare. She looked at the woman who smiled at her husband that red headed sorceress and although pissed she couldn¡¯t help but be impressed by her flawless dress code and matching taste in jewelry. ¡°Hmm, I wonder where she bought that purple dress and the matching amethyst necklace. The rest of her jewelry shows great taste as well. Hell, if not for them coming here and provoking the Demon King we could go shopping together! Although, now that I look at her more carefully she reminds me of someone ¡­. She gives me a sense of familiarity. No, it can¡¯t be! Could this be a cruel joke of fate? I think we might be related! It¡¯s been 200 hundreds year so I don¡¯t know what might have happened to the Scarlet family, but she has all the right attributes to actually be one of us. Glorious breasts that cause envy to all flat chested girls, great sense of fashion as well as when it comes to jewelry and a healthy appetite for sex.¡± Hitoshi on the other side upon the arrival of the heroes, was quite surprised to see, that the atmosphere among the heroes¡¯ party members was different from what it was the first time he met them. It was cold and¡­. hostile? Their unity and awareness of each other was long gone, as for what reason Hitoshi was unable to imagine. The only one who knew about it, was the little fella standing right next to him, the notorious Harry Porker, aka agent Heidi, who at the time was quite delighted to see the seductive sorceress, his ¡°mommy¡± Moira once again. Inspired by his master¡¯s resolution in confessing to the plain priestess, called Sachiko, he also had decided to confess to the one woman that after all his years of mischievousness, had managed to capture his heart. Oh Moira! ¡°Yes today would hopefully be a grand day!¡± was Harry¡¯s conclusion. Hitoshi eager to show to his lovely priestess his linguistic achievements, rushed to greet them in the human language¡­.. ¡°Hello!!!¡± On the other hand Sachiko upon seeing the infamous translator next to the Demon General that almost got them killed the previous time rushed to greet the Demon General in his native language, meaning the Demonic language, in hopes of a more civilized conversation this time ¡°¦£¦Å¦É¦Á ¦Ò¦Á?!¡± The outcome? Both spoke at the same time surprising each other, causing an awkward silence to stay stagnant in the atmosphere, providing the time needed for all to reach the above conclusions. 1,2,3,4,5 secs passed. Every side was waiting for someone to break this awkward silence. After Nico¡¯s straightforward declaration of well, being straight and an elbow hit to the stomach from Harry to get the things rolling, Hitoshi cleared his dry throat and answered Sachiko¡¯s greeting with a question. Although this time to make sure that indeed that human priestess could understand him, his question was in the demonic language. ¡°¦«¦Á?¦Ä¦Ç Sachiko. O¦Ì¦É¦Ë¦Å?¦Ó¦Å ¦Ó¦Ç¦Í ¦Ä¦Á¦É¦Ì¦Ï¦Í¦É¦Ê? ¦Ã¦Ë?¦Ò¦Ò¦Á; ¦¥¦Ò¦Å?? ¦Å?¦Ò¦Ó¦Å ¦Ç ¦Ì?¦Í¦Ç ¦Ð¦Ï¦Ô ¦Ó¦Ç¦Í ¦Ê¦Á¦Ó¦Á¦Ë¦Á¦Â¦Á?¦Í¦Å¦É ? ¦Ê¦Á¦É ¦Ó¦Á ?¦Ë¦Ë¦Á ¦Ì?¦Ë¦Ç ¦Ó¦Ç? ¦Ï¦Ì?¦Ä¦Á? ¦Ò¦Á? ¦Ì¦Ð¦Ï¦Ñ¦Ï?¦Í; ¡° (Translation =Lady Sachiko. Do you speak the demonic language? Are you the only one able to understand it or are the rest of your party able to as well?¡± Sachiko although diligently having spent all the time on her way here to be able to speak on behalf of all of her teammates, still was nervous not to mess up. She timidly said affirmatively ¡° ¦­¦Á¦É, ¦Ä¦Ô¦Ò¦Ó¦Ô¦Ö?? ¦Å?¦Ì¦Á¦É ¦Ç ¦Ì?¦Í¦Ç ¦Ð¦Ï¦Ô ¦Ì¦Ð¦Ï¦Ñ¦Å?.¡± (TN: Yes, unfortunately, I am the only one able to.) Hitoshi was delighted that finally the lingual barrier was lifted between the two of them and that he would be able to convey his feelings to the woman in front of him. With a gentle smile in his face Hitoshi answered fluently although with a very distinctive accent in the human language surprising everyone including both Sachiko as well as the rest with his next words. ¡°Very well. Follow me please into my room where we can talk in private.¡± Chapter 13: Prelude to disaster? CHAPTER 13: Prelude to disaster? ¡°Very well, follow me please into my room where we can talk in private¡± Upon hearing these words, Hitoshi¡¯s entourage had different reactions but the same thought going through their heads. ¡°Damn! Master has such a way with words!¡± Nico face palmed himself and Niki just shook her head disapprovingly. All their lessons obviously had gone to waste! He was supposed first to court her and then according to her reactions, was he going to confess. Not right from the get go and certainly not in his own room! They did realize that for their pupil, it might be a bit too much to confess in a room full of people, but he could always invite her to another place and not in his bedroom to talk! Every woman would be wary of a guy that she just met, if he invited her straight away there. Plus the fact that she was a human priestess, while he was a demon general, the outcome of his confession was as clear as the day that it would be a failure. On the other hand Harry Porker had a smirk on his face. He thought his master was so cool, inviting the priestess to his room to get down to ¡°business¡±. The heroes¡¯ party on the other hand, were dumbfounded. Not knowing Hitoshi¡¯s intentions, they took his words for what they were. The common thought among most of them was: ¡°Oh my god!!! Did that demon ask Sachiko to his room to XXX her???¡± Sachiko was unable to utter a word. His ¡°invitation¡± left her speechless, the words ¡°follow me into my room¡± repeating inside her head. She thought right from the start that it was very strange for a demon to act the way Hitoshi was acting, but she should have known that ¡°that¡± aka the triple X, was his intention all along. But before even being given the chance to answer, it was Eric who furiously yelled: ¡°Like hell, will she go to your room, you bastard! You think any of us and especially me, is going to stand here and let you do to her as you please? It¡¯s obvious what you want to do to her by inviting her there, demon!!!! ¡± His poisonous words made Hitoshi flinch. What was this guy shouting about? True intentions? It was true that he was going to confess to her, but no way did that despicable ikemen could know about that! Suddenly, the realization of how his words could be interpreted hit him. Blood rushing to his head from embarrassment, his pale cheeks got crimson red. Rushing to clear any misunderstandings, he tried to explain. ¡°No, no, no! I would never do something like that. ¡­..at least not before marriage...¡± the last comment only a whisper heard by him and Porker, the latter looking in obvious disappointment Hitoshi, after seeing his great expectations crashed. ¡°And here I thought that Master was so cool! How can he be so vanilla? Sex after marriage? Hell, that shit didn¡¯t happen even 300 years ago, when my family was ruling! If it was me and Moira alone in the bedroom, the mattress would be lit on fire, the headboard would break, the whole earth would shake and the dead would rise!!! I¡¯m not meaning to brag, but my performance in my time was rumored to be of epic proportions. That was the truth after all behind my title ¡°Vlad the Impaler¡± thought Harry. Upon hearing that from Hitoshi, Sachiko raised her left eyebrow in wonder. It was strange, but hearing that from a demon actually hurt her pride! Sure, she may not had Moira¡¯s ¡°assets¡±, but still she was considered a beauty, her hand being asked in marriage from plenty of suitors of noble birth and with vasts amounts of fortune. The reason she didn¡¯t accept anyone of them you ask? Some may call her foolish and her father truly did, but she always thought that marriage should not be a matter of interest. She always thought that the one whom she was going to marry, would be the one who would not marry her for her noble title, for her money or for the prestige of being married to the high priestess who was in the heroes¡¯ party and as such a heroine herself. No. The man whom she was going to marry, would marry her because of love, because of who she were and not because of what she represented. He would be someone who cherished her above all others and who would even throw his own life for her. None of the men she had met so far, had any of the qualities she seeked and there were many days that she thought that in the end she was doomed to follow her father¡¯s orders and marry the one chosen by him. Still, having the quest from the king to slay the Demon King, had put her father¡¯s plans of an arranged wedding to a halt, but even that was going to end sooner or later. The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there. Hitoshi was vehemently denying of having any sort of impure intentions, but Eric and his party was having none of that.! Thinking of how to make them believe him, he swiftly with the sharp, claw like fingernails of his left hand cut through his right hand¡¯s palm. The blood slowly dripped to the white marble floor. Everyone was bewildered by his actions, but especially his loyal subordinates who knew what he was going to do, but were unable to stop him. He raised his bloody hand and with his loud voice echoing through the grand hall he declared: ¡°Upon this blood, upon my life, I swear that I have no intention of harming lady Sachiko. So rest assured that I just want to talk with her.¡± Everyone was just standing there staring at him in disbelief. The Demon General had just made a blood oath. The severity of making such an oath was known to all. The consequence of breaking it would be unavoidable death. He had sworn on his life and that fact, was enough for the heroes¡¯ party and especially Eric and Moira who thought that if the demon couldn¡¯t help himself while being left alone with Sachiko in his bedroom, they would have one more less to kill, making their final goal of defeating the Demon King even easier. Moira thought of course that if it was her in the room alone with him, the Demon¡¯s General death would have been a done deal. No man could ever resist her charm, her ample bosom and delectable buttocks!!! Helion and Marion on the other hand, reaching a different conclusion, whispered among themselves: ¡°He¡¯s taking her to his room and has no intentions of doing ¡°that¡±!!! Do you think he might be one of ¡°us¡±?¡± asked Helion ¡°Even if he was, who would tap ¡°that¡±? Imagine this, if one were to spend the night with him he would be scared to death upon seeing his face first thing in the morning when he woke up!!! His face is scary like hell! Look at his horns, his sharp fangs and his evil blood eyes, his sickly white skin.¡± answered Marion. ¡°Hehehe, you are right my love!¡± answered the trap. Her friends¡¯ thoughts upon the whole situation were completely unknown to Sachiko. Her uneasiness of following the demon to his room was completely lifted off after his blood oath. She couldn¡¯t help but wonder though if the Demon truly knew the seriousness of his actions, any further thoughts on the matter though, were stopped by Eric addressing her. ¡°Sachiko, given the situation and although you have to know that it pains me to ask this of you, I think it would be to the team¡¯s interest if you followed him to his room and find out what he wants. You are the only one who can speak the demon¡¯s language after all.¡± Sachiko taking his words in, nodded her head in agreement ¡°Yes, I also think that¡¯s the wisest thing to do. But if I leave you alone here, I am afraid what might happen to you while I am gone. What if the other three attack you?¡± Hitoshi was watching them talk, anxiously waiting for them to reach a decision. Hearing Sachiko¡¯s doubts he couldn¡¯t help but butt in their conversation. ¡°Don¡¯t worry about that they won¡¯t¡± he said to them. Turning his back to the intruders to look at his subordinates with a voice full of authority he declared in the human language loud enough for everyone present in the room to hear. ¡°I, the Demon General, order you! You are not to attack any of the people in the priestess party while me and her are away! If you fail to follow my orders you will be punished by death!¡± He truly didn¡¯t care if they did anything to the rest of the heroes, as long as Sachiko was left unharmed, so he thought why not tell a little white lie? To make his point come across and calm his companions, he gave them a wink after giving them his ¡°order¡±. Assured of their present safety, Sachiko said to Hitoshi: ¡°Okay, I will go with you to your room. Lead the way.¡± ¡°Very well! Follow me please.¡± Chapter 14: Revelations of the past CHAPTER 14: Revelations of the past After Hitoshi and Sachiko left the grand hall, silence ruled the place. Both sides were wary of each other. Well, at least the heroes were¡­ Eric and Marion had their hands on the hilt of theirs swords, ready to unsheathe and attack. Moira with her wizard¡¯s staff and Helion with his elven longbow, both seemingly leisurely holding them yet both ready to release the most deadly of their skills. The demonic party on the other side though, was busy whispering among themselves in its¡¯ native language. The chubby vampire was in fact the one currently whispering to the incubus-succubus couple, while his eyes were still focused to the voluptuous red headed sorceress, that had managed to cast a spell on his heart. ¡°Nico, Niki you guys have to take the rest of those morons somewhere else for a while and leave me alone with the sorceress.¡± ¡°Harry, the Master specifically told us not to harm anyone until he comes back. After we see how things have gone with his love confession, we will then act accordingly.¡± said Nico, his words once again proving that he was the only voice of reason among them, ¡°Yes Harry, my hubby is right. I know that you might be hungry, but you can¡¯t eat the sorceress at least not yet. Just wait for Master¡¯s orders. Even though I know that it¡¯s been a while since you¡¯ve last drunk human blood, you still have to hold it in, master will get really angry otherwise. Besides,you can¡¯t harm her¡­. at least not before I find out if she and I are related.¡± That last sentence dropped like a bomb, and it was enough for Harry to quickly turn his gaze to Niki, look at her and then look back to Moira, trying to see if there were any similarities. Indeed, there were many, but in order to be sure, he made his own mental list. ? Nice ass?= Yes! ? Tits 36D?= Hell yessssss!!! ? Taste in reveling clothes?= But of course! ? Interest in the collection of expensive jewelry?= Fuck my pocket! Also yes! ? Sexual aptitude and mastery in bed activities in all positions and at any time?= No need for a DNA test! Yeah, they are related!!! Nico, who had only eyes for his succubus wife (of course how could it ever be any other way¡­. as one, he was madly in love with her and two, he would have no eyes at all if Niki thought he was cheating on her) for the first time, since the arrival of the so called heroes, truly observed the sorceress among them. True enough, although not to the point of such an analytical and in depth approach as the one of our aforementioned chubby vampire, Nico also saw the resemblance of Moira to his own wife, Nicolette Scarlet. ¡°You over there! The sorceress, what¡¯s your name?¡± asked Niki in the human language, while turning her gaze to Moira. Moira was surprised to say the least but still answered : ¡°It¡¯s Moira. What¡¯s up with you asking?¡± ¡°Not that! What¡¯s your family name? What¡¯s your connection to the Scarlet family?¡± It was only for a second but it was enough for Niki, to see the brief change of Moira¡¯s demeanour on her face. She indeed was familiar with the name and judging by the look on her face, her guess of them being related was confirmed. Still, Moira was denying it though, but why? ¡°My family doesn¡¯t have any connection to the Scarlets. How do you know that name, it¡¯s been over a century since the last member of that family was executed. They are no more, why are you asking?¡± she asked somewhat suspiciously. Moira¡¯s answer came as a surprise to Niki. The voluptuous succubus had been around for about 500 years, even if she didn¡¯t look like it.. The fact that Niki, who in her wild days of abusing her power to seek sexual satisfaction and maintain her beauty, was one of the most insatiable succubus that the Scarlet family had ever procured, was one of the factors that lead to her losing any sort of contact with them for the last 300 years. See, 300 years ago she was sent into exile after her promiscuous ways started to rise so many questions about the Scarlet family who at that time was one of the most powerful families, its power and fortune matching that of the King. And how could it be otherwise? Generation after generation, it was a known fact that the Scarlet family produced the best wizards and sorceresses, their beauty inspired many painters and nobles seeked to marry their sons or daughters to the Scarlet family. Thus the power of the Scarlets just kept growing and growing. But, what never met the public eye, was the fact that the Scarlets had a well kept secret. Demonic blood flowed through their veins. They were a family of succubi that had actually managed to integrate themselves in human society and rise slowly in power. All the female members, had the power to seduce and suck the life force of their male partners, yet they were never too greedy with their human mates. They made sure not to suck their husbands dry right away. They would feed a little each day, thus their regenerative powers couldn¡¯t keep up with the aging process and although slower than their husbands, they were still aging like humans did. Niki¡¯s ways though weren¡¯t in compliance with the family¡¯s rules of keeping a low profile. She was posing a huge threat for their plans of keeping a low profile and amassing wealth. ¡°I see¡­¡± said Niki, unable to hide her sorrow. So her whole family was gone, all she had left now was the girl in front of her. For her to be standing before her, could only mean that one of her brothers or sisters had somehow managed to survive and judging by Moira¡¯s unique purple eyes she must be the descendant of her baby brother Frederick. With a sad smile on her face Niki said ¡°Thank you for answering my questions child. And it¡¯s only fair if I also introduce myself. My name is Nicolette, my family name doesn¡¯t matter, not anymore at least.¡± As though the bizarre and strange conversation never took place among her and Moira, she once again turned to face her companions who gave her sympathetic looks. It was Harry who broke the awkwardness that reigned by clearing his throat and saying to Nico and Niki. ¡°As I going to say before, no, I am not hungry, not for food at least¡­and no, I am not going to suck her blood or kill her. Don¡¯t worry Niki I am not going to harm your great-great-great-great, hell I don¡¯t know how great she is, but nevertheless I am not going to harm her. ¡­. Since it has come to this, I might as well come clean to you! I have fallen in love with your descendant and I am going to confess as well Please give me your blessings esteemed elder!!!¡± ¡°Who are you calling your elder?¡± Niki roared. ¡°Honey please calm down! You know how Harry is, don¡¯t take him seriously!¡± Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions. ¡°Don¡¯t take me seriously? But I am serious!¡± said Harry anxiously. ¡° ¡­ It¡¯s not really my place to give you my blessings. I have lost all contact with the Scarlets long ago. But, I will give you a word of advice as a woman. While it¡¯s true that with you being a vampire and Moira being a succubus¡­.¡± ¡°What! Moira is also a succubus?¡± asked Harry in surprise. ¡° Can you not interrupt me? Well yes Moira is a succubus. Although her latent succubi powers have not fully awaken yet, the blood of the Scarlets runs through her veins. All the Scarlet females were succubi after all. Anyway as I was saying before you interrupted me, with you being a vampire and her being a succubus a relationship might work. You with your regenerative powers should have no problem if she fed from you during sex and vice versa.¡± ¡°So you think I stand a chance with her?¡± asked Harry thrilled. ¡°Cough..now how should I say this¡­¡­Hmmm, the problem is your appearance Harry.¡± ¡°What do you mean Niki? Am I not handsome? Am I not intelligent? Don¡¯t I have royal blood? Who could be more perfect for her than the noble me? ¡± said Harry proudly. ¡°¡­ I¡­. I mean look at you. Although you are 300 years old, you look like a chubby, nerdy 12 year old!!! Do you think any woman in her right mind would ever date a guy like that? She would be marked for life as a pedophiler, a shotacon for god¡¯s sake!!! Just imagine people seeing you and her on a date. No one would think that she¡¯s a woman with her boyfriend, but a woman with her child!!!¡± ¡°I see¡­¡± said Harry thinking for a moment before once again happily adding ¡° then there is no problem!¡± ¡°What? After all I have said you still don¡¯t see the problem? How can you be so thickheaded?!!!¡± said Niki fuming. ¡°When I said that there is no problem, is not because I didn¡¯t get what you were trying to say, but because my true appearance was never the one you are currently seeing.¡± seeing the look of surprise on both their faces, he rushed to explain: ¡°As you both know my name is Vlad, not Harry Porker as our Master named me and I am a pure blood vampire. That means I can eat food as any normal human does, I can walk under the sun without it harming my skin and I look just like a normal human does. I once told you that I was royalty, a prince, but alas none of you believed me. So, let me fully introduce myself this time. I am Vlad the 3rd, Prince of Wallachia, member of the house of Draculesti. My present appearance is only the result of a heavy curse casted on me by my own mother, Queen Lucretia. Three hundred years ago, when I was a young man that appeared to be in what the humans call at the age of 26, my father Vlad II, the King, died. To be more specific he was killed by my own mother.¡± ¡°Tired of seeing him neglecting and ridiculing her by cheating right in front her eyes, her heart grew cold, her sanity was slipping away day by day, till one day she stabbed him in the heart in his sleep. No one found out that she killed him, some were suspicious of her, but no one dared to come forward. She temporarily took the throne, till I, the heir to the throne was to be inaugurated. After my inauguration I would be the King and marry some girl of a noble family picked by my councillors who would be the next Queen.¡± ¡°The similarities between my appearance and that of my deceased father, as well my, ehem, ¡°conquests and achievements¡± as a man, only made her crazier and crazier. She wouldn¡¯t let some random girl marry me and become the Queen. No she wanted me, her only child to always stay by her side. To make sure of that, the night before my inauguration, she used some ancient forbidden magic on me, to change my appearance to the one you are now seeing and locked me inside the necklace that our master is now wearing around his neck. With that done she would always have me by side, erasing the chances of me being snatched from her by some woman. She would summon and unsummon me as she pleased.¡± ¡°After creating rumours of me denouncing the throne and eloping with some maid from the palace, she seized the throne. She ruled our kingdom until the time of the invasion¡­After that I don¡¯t know what happened to my country and I don¡¯t remember how many years have passed since I was first summoned from that mage that the master eventually killed. That guy would only summon me to fight for him, once that was done he would revoke it and sent me once again back to the Netherworld.¡± Nico and Niki were silently listening to Harry telling them his life story. Various emotions passed through their faces, surprise of actually learning who Harry truly was, sadness for his family tragic tale and realization of the fact that from now on they shouldn¡¯t treat Harry lightly. They had seen the house of Draculesti mentioned in a few books on the history of the Demonic race but most details were omitted. The only thing that was clear though was that the family of Draculesti was the father family to all vampires. Now, after Harry or should I say Vlad, had finished his story, instead of the casual atmosphere that there was once between the three of them, there was awkwardness. Harry during his time as a prince was aware that most people were mindful of his status, but he didn¡¯t want Nico and Niki, his friends, the ones with whom he pulled all these pranks the last 50 years at master to be like that at all. So, he said: ¡°Oh, don¡¯t be like that! It¡¯s still me ol¡¯ dirty Harry you know! (Author¡¯s note: Clint Eastwood sorry for using your movie alias in this story.) Just give me your honest opinion. Do I stand I chance with Moira or not?¡± It was Nico who answered this time: ¡°Well Harry, unless you find a way to lift your curse I don¡¯t think Moira will accept your confession. I must agree with Niki that a romance between a child and an adult woman would be strictly criticized by society. Do you want to put Moira through something like that?¡± Despite his childish looks, Vlad knew that both his friends were right. This curse his mother had casted on him was preventing him from finding happiness and it¡¯s been so many years till he last had ¡°any¡±!!!! Still it was not in his nature to just stand there and sulk. Although, it required almost all his mana, during his years in the netherworld, he found out that he could temporarily lift his curse for 5 secs. That should be enough, no, that had to be enough for him to show Moira his true form and hope that she would give him a chance. ¡° I can lift my curse for 5 secs, I will explain to her about me and show her my true form for just 5 secs, let¡¯s just hope that it will be enough for her to at least see me as the man I truly am. I just want to talk to her alone. So can I ask you to please get the other 3 somewhere else so I can speak to her in private?¡± Nico and Niki looked at each other and said simultaneously. ¡°Okay, leave them to us. Go get her tiger!!!!¡± Chapter 15 A: Never judge a book by its cover CHAPTER 15 A¡¯ : Never judge a book by its cover Although Eric, Marion, Helion and Moira were in alert, ready to defend themselves if needed, the demonic entourage on the other hand were talking to themselves completely at ease, as if it were only them there, not giving a rat¡¯s ass about what was going on. Moira as well as the rest couldn¡¯t help but be perplexed by their behavior, thoughts like ¡°Are those guys so strong that they don¡¯t feel threatened at all by us?¡± or ¡°What are they whispering to each other over there, are they planning something?¡± were common among them. It was clear though to all of them, that whatever the demonic party was talking about among themselves, it certainly involved Moira someway, as they were looking at her curiously. Add to that, the sudden interest of the incubus Niki for making all sort of random questions to her, Moira was sure that they were indeed talking about her. ¡°She can¡¯t possible know of my family¡¯s connection to the Scarlets. No one knows¡­.but why was she asking?¡± pondered Moira. But all their thoughts were soon interrupted by that gorgeously, handsome man and his equally beautiful female companion¡­. After declaring their support to Harry, the duo seductively made its way to the heroes. Their incubus-succubus mode in full throttle and the same plan going through both their heads¡­ keep the 3 of them busy while Harry confessed to Moira. Nico was the first to talk, making sure to catch the attention of the trap and her ¡°boyfriend¡±, by keeping eye contact with both of them as much as he could. He really hated having to use his seductive powers with men, but seeing as his wife would be unable to win such a lost cause, aka seducing the 2 homos, he took it upon himself to do it. ¡°It¡¯s no use standing here and waiting. You heard the General, we are not to attack you while he¡¯s talking to your friend. So why don¡¯t we all go somewhere else, get something to drink and get to know each other better while we wait?¡± Marion, Helion and Moira immediately relaxed their pose and were ready to follow the handsome incubus. Lowering their weapons as in a trance, they took the first steps to follow Nico before being abruptly stopped by Eric¡¯s yelling: ¡°You fools! Where do you think you¡¯re going? Stay right here! This guy is our enemy. Don¡¯t be fooled by his appearance!¡± Now it was time for Niki to act her part of the role. She quickly approached Eric, who at the time being was preoccupied glaring Nico and barking orders to his companions. Pouting her lips, she said ¡°Oh don¡¯t be like that! And here I was so eager to have a drink with such a handsome man like you!¡± Urging him on she added : ¡°Come on, let¡¯s all go have a drink and get to know each other better, we can even play a little card game while waiting¡­hmmm, I was thinking we could maybe play strip poker, although as you can see, I don¡¯t have much to lose¡­..¡± The words ¡°drink¡±, get to know each other ¡°better¡± and ¡°strip poker¡± echoed inside Eric¡¯s head. His gaze after her last sentence ¡°don¡¯t have much to lose¡± was fixed at her amazing tits, it was clear she was not wearing anything beneath that silk dress. Niki turned her derriere to him and slowly walked away towards the door leading to the common living area of the dungeon, where her party usually played their games of cards and unknown to their master, she and Nico also played ¡°other games¡± there. Swaying her glorious behind, she turned her head to Eric and with her sweet melodic voice said: ¡°So are you coming?¡± Eric, having forgotten all his inhibitions, swallowed the saliva that had gathered in his mouth ready to drip and said ¡°Oh, I intend to¡­.¡± and went straight after her, not even casting as much as a glance to his companions. One obstacle out of the way, Nico once again turned his attention to the ¡°men¡± . ¡°So guys, let¡¯s go as well¡± unbuttoning the top 2 buttons of his shirt as if there was so much heat in there that he couldn¡¯t stand it, he showed them a little bit of skin to further tempt them, before leisurely adding ¡° I don¡¯t know about you, but I am up for a little game of strip poker. Although I am not that good at it¡­ but hell it¡¯s so hot in here that I don¡¯t mind losing my shirt¡­or my pants!¡± Marion was already drooling, while Helion¡¯s face was as red as a tomato, blood already dripping from his nose. As in a trance, they as well followed Nico, like a bunch of sheep following their shepherd. Moira was ready to go with them, but her steps were abruptly stopped by a small, chubby, white hand. Looking down she saw that the cute, nerdy boy had stopped her by grabbing her arm. She was curious why the boy stopped her and she couldn¡¯t help but notice the way his eyes were looking at her. There was so many emotions passing through them anxiety, longing, hope. Harry was nervous as hell, he had never truly confessed to a woman before. Sure he had flirted and fooled around a lot as a young man, but now things were serious. Although he was a proud, pure blooded prince, right now he had the appearance of a short, chubby, nerdy boy and he was worried that she might turn him down. He steeled his resolve, deciding that it was better to try and fail, an outcome that he silently promised to himself he was not going to ever accept, than not try at all. ¡°Lady Moira, could I have a bit of your time? I need to speak to you for a bit. Please, it will just be a minute or two, then you can go and join your friends. You don¡¯t have to worry, I mean you no harm, I promise.¡± Casting a look at her friends and seeing them just following the demonic couple without even caring about her and realizing she was already forgotten, she nodded. Having reached the conclusion that even if the little kid tried something, she would be able to stand her own ground and curious as to what he wanted to tell her, she just stood there waiting. ¡°Ok kid, speak up. What do you want?¡± Harry completely unfazed by her behavior, briefly cleared his throat before starting. ¡°First of all, let me fully introduce myself. Even though the General calls me Harry Porker, my true name, although it might got forgotten through the eons, is Vlad the 3rd, son of the house of Draculesti, prince of Wallachia.¡± After finishing his formal introduction, he gave a regal bow and according to the etiquette that any nobleman should follow when meeting a lady, he kissed Moira¡¯s hand. Seeing her just standing there in front of him stupefied and looking at him in disbelief, he continued with his confession. ¡°The reason I wanted to talk to you, fair lady, is to convey my feelings to you. I fell in love with you after getting to know what a wonderful woman you are. Please become my woman! I promise to love and cherish you for as long as we both shall live.¡± To say that Moira was surprised by the sudden turn of events would be the understatement of the century. She was aware that most men, hell all men, found her attractive, her ample breasts were like a siren¡¯s voice to them, they would draw any man in. Find this and other great novels on the author''s preferred platform. Support original creators! She was often confessed to and the few lucky guys that got to date her, it wouldn¡¯t be untrue to say that they would remember her till the day they died, either due to her supremacy in bed or due to her leaving them completely broke. But a 12 year old, confessing to her? No, not just that, but actually proposing to her? That was a first even for Moira. This must be a joke! The boy must be playing a joke on me. He can¡¯t actually mean any of this! Looking into the chubby, young boy¡¯s eyes in front of her, she could see only sincerity. Not a single speck of mirth or mischievousness could be seen behind his eyeglasses, only anxiety, yearning and hope. ¡°I can¡¯t just turn him down. He¡¯s still a kid after all. I don¡¯t know if any of the things about him being a vampire prince or not is true, since I haven¡¯t heard anything about a country called Wallachia or the house of Draculesti. Although the name Vlad does ring a bell¡­. But, if there really was a family like that, I would know, because I am always well informed when it comes to the list of most eligible bachelors. It really doesn¡¯t matter either way, he¡¯s still a kid and even if he were a prince I would still not date him, let alone marry him. I don¡¯t know him at all! Besides, a relationship like that would be condemned to fail, not just cause of society laws prohibiting relationships with underage children, but also due to the age difference. One day when he grows up, he might come to realize that his feelings have changed, that his so called love for me was just childish infatuation and seek another younger woman. I am still young being 24 years old, but an age difference of more than 10 years is not something easily tolerated by society, even though I find it hypocritical since men can marry women several years younger than men¡­ Still, I have to turn him down as gently as I can, to not hurt his feelings much.¡± thought Moira carefully choosing her next words. ¡°Listen Harry, no, Vlad, since that is your true name as you¡¯ve said. I am happy for your feelings towards me¡­¡± Seeing Harry¡¯s elated and happy expression, she was quick to add. ¡°Unfortunately, I cannot accept them. You are too young right now, you don¡¯t know anything about the world or love. You might think you love me now, but once you grow up you will see, you will come to realize that I was just an onee-chan you admired.¡± Seeing Harry trying to fight back the tears that were ready to spill through his eyes after her answer, she couldn¡¯t help but pity him. She should at least give some hope to the kid even if that meant telling a lie. So she said: ¡°Please don¡¯t be sad. I am not turning you down completely. What I meant to say is that when you reach the same age as me, let¡¯s just say when you get to be 25 years old, if you still have feelings for me then come seek me out. If I am still single then we can date.¡± Upon hearing this, the once sad ridden Harry, lifted his gaze to look at Moira full of hope, the tears pooling in his eyes ready to spill immediately vanishing as if they were never there¡­ ¡°Really? You really mean that? You will become my woman when I am a grown man?¡± he asked. ¡°Yes, sure kid. Why not, if you are still in love with me.¡± she replied thinking there would be no harm in her words. What she didn¡¯t expect though was what Harry said next: ¡°In that case could you at least give me a kiss, so that I have something to look forward to when I grow up?¡± Moira, raised her eyebrows in surprise. The cheeky brat! He was already a handful, she was curious, what sort of man would he become when he grew up? ¡°Okay, I will give you a kiss to the cheek young man!¡± Upon hearing that Harry¡¯s face was lit by happiness. Quickly discharging his eyeglasses, he channeled all his mana to his body and ¡°puff¡± a tall, handsome man appeared in front of her. He had long onyx black hair, ruby red colored eyes, a pale complexion in the skin and a regal air. His broad shoulders and exquisite musculature could be only be summed up in one sentence ¡°An alpha male has appeared¡±. Moira was alerted. Here she was talking to a child and suddenly the most handsome man she has ever seen appeared before her. His intentions whether they were to attack and kill her were completely unknown to her. ¡°You¡­. You¡­¡­ who are you?¡± she asked in fear. ¡°No time to explain. I am prince Vlad. I am a vampire. I¡¯m cursed. Now give me my kiss!¡± said Harry in rapid succession, before putting his hands to the back of Moira¡¯s head and pulling her mouth to his. He had no time to waste giving explanations. Actions speak louder than words! He only hoped that this kiss, in which he put all his heart and soul to, would be enough to make Moira accept his feelings and wait for him till he uplifted his curse so that they could be truly be together. The fire between them received its'' first spark. Moira resisted for a brief moment, then let her sexual desires take over as she pushed her tongue into his mouth. Harry gasped not expecting her to succumb to him that easily with just a kiss. Moira felt her knees weakening, her body warming, getting hotter with each second as their lips and tongues fondled one another and a lusty moan escaped her only to be devoured by him. Harry thought to himself ¡° God how her tongue feels like velvet, so hot, so wet.¡± He wanted her to explore more of his body with that tongue. And wanted to do the same to her with his, but there was no time. His 5 secs were almost up. As they pulled apart, he whispered to her: ¡°Wait for me my love. I am worth it!¡± (sfx puff) Harry was once again in his 12 year old form. Moira¡¯s heart was in turmoil . This kiss, this man ! It was just for 5 seconds but he left a deep imprint in her soul!!! She had heard stories about meeting your soul mate, but she always thought that all of that was just romantic bullshit. But here she was, with a cursed, small chubby prince that has managed with just one kiss to capture her heart. She was unable to take all of this in. She didn¡¯t know what to say, she had forgotten how to breathe during that kiss, let alone speak! She tried to speak: ¡°I.. I¡­ you¡­the kiss¡± she couldn¡¯t form any coherent sentences. Harry seeing her like that, her red face and dilated pupils, a sure sign of obvious arousal, mentally high fived himself. Now he was sure that at least she wouldn¡¯t forget him. ¡°I don¡¯t expect for an answer right now. Once I have lifted this curse, I will come to you. Then, no matter what, I will make you mine!¡± he, proudly and without a hint of hesitation in his voice , declared to the voluptuous sorceress. Putting his glasses back on and realizing that time has passed since his Master took off with the high priestess, he turned ready to go join the others in the living area, followed by Moira still deeply in thought, unable to figure out what had just happened if she was awake or dreaming, if she was under a spell giving her hallucinations, if¡­¡­. Meanwhile, in a certain Demon General''s room¡­.. ¡°You¡­you..HENTAI!!!!!¡± (Sfx slap) Chapter 15 B: Never judge a book by its cover I would really appreciate it if you guys left some comments. CHAPTER 15 B¡¯ : Never judge a book by its cover Having her heart at ease from hearing the Demon General make his blood oath, Sachiko silently followed Hitoshi. Hitoshi¡¯s heart on the other hand, the whole time to his room, was nothing but at ease. It was beating so fast he thought it would burst. This was the first time that a girl would visit his room, not just in this world but in his previous world as well, that had never happened before. Girls in his previous life would never approach him, let alone speak to him. The few times he did try to do so, they would run away screaming for help. There was even one crazy chick that called the cops on him, just for trying to help her pick the bag she dropped. That was something he didn¡¯t want to remember at all! He went through hell trying to explain to the officer what happened. Thank god the officer was a man who also had his fair share of rejections in the past. If it were a policewoman, he might be still alive and behind bars¡­¡­ Hitoshi was pleased with himself. Who knew that a tiny drop of his blood and a promise would erase all doubts on him and put a woman at ease? Hmm, he should have tried that before in his previous world as well. Walking through a long corridor with doors at each side having signs on them that read in the demonic language ¡°Apothecary¡±, ¡°Living Area¡±, ¡°Nico¡¯s-Niki¡¯s lovenest¡±, ¡°Harry¡¯s room-enter at your own risk¡±, they finally reached the end. Before Hitoshi stood a large wooden door having the sign ¡°General¡¯s Room¡±. Taking a key from his pocket Hitoshi opened it, turned the doorknob and walked in. Turning his head to the priestess he said ¡°Please come in. Make yourself at home!¡± Sachiko hesitantly took the first steps inside the room, slowly taking in her surroundings and watching for danger. It was a simple room, compared to the luxuries she was used to, this was nothing, but at least it was neat and tidy. This room resembled more to the ones the servants were using in her father¡¯s estate, minimal furniture, walls devoid of any paintings and no decorative pieces at all. It was not what she expected to see from a demon holding the position of General at all. A single iron bed with a mattress, dressed with white sheets, a pillow and a somewhat worn out wool blanket, a small wooden desk with some books laying on top of it and a chair, plus two bookcases filled with books were all the room, in which Sachiko was currently in, had to show. Seeing Sachiko standing there looking around his room, Hitoshi was nervous as hell. ¡°Please have a sit, so we can start talking.¡± he said while pointing to the only furniture he thought could serve this purpose, his bed. Sachiko just looked at him pointing to his bed, she arched her right eyebrow in disbelief and by completely dismissing his offer took the chair and sat by the desk, crossing her legs as she did so. ¡°So General, what did you have to speak to me about? It should be perfectly clear to you why me and my companions came to this dungeon, shouldn¡¯t it? I see no reason why you would want to speak to me, but seeing as you and your teammates haven¡¯t attacked us yet, I am slightly curious.¡± Hitoshi was watching her as she elegantly took a sit in his chair, her robe rising as she crossed her legs, catching a glimpse of her creamy white legs. Shaking his head to clear his thoughts of the dangerous path they were going to take, he realized Sachiko was speaking to him. ¡°Ah, yes. As you already know I am the General of Demons, but please don¡¯t call me General or anything like that, just call me Hitoshi. Anyway, the reason I wanted to speak with you in private was¡­.to tell you I fell in love with you since the first time I saw you. Although we don¡¯t know each other well yet, I hope that if you get to know me, you will like me as well. So, please go out with me!!!!¡± Her beautiful ocean blue eyes, opened wide in astonishment. That was not what she had expected at all. She didn¡¯t know how to react, what to say. Hitoshi was staring expectantly in her eyes, waiting for her response, it was clear he was anxious and nervous. She was feeling strange, she couldn¡¯t look at him in the eyes, she needed to find a way out of this situation. Her eyes were scanning the room in panic for something, anything to maybe turn the discussion when suddenly there it was¡­. A small part of red cloth was peeking from the corner of a drawer in the desk. Tugging it out, she knew exactly what it was. After all, it was a gag gift from her and Moira (actually she put the money, Moira chose it) to Marion at his 18th birthday, 4 years ago. Seeing Marion¡¯s red thong in Hitoshi¡¯s room for some unknown reason, made her see red. Here was this guy saying he was in love with her and he was keeping Marion¡¯s, a trap¡¯s thong in his desk like a cherished memento? What sort of nonsense was this? For Hitoshi it was like time moved slowly after his confession. He could only watch in horror as Sachiko found out his most valuable treasure, her thong, which he thought he had safely hidden in the top drawer of his desk. As in slow motion, he could only watch as Sachiko, rising from the chair she was sitting, raised her hand and place her open palm on his left cheek with a force that he didn¡¯t believe the cute priestess possessed. ¡°You¡­.you¡­HENTAI¡± Sachiko screamed, turning on her toes ready to leave the room. ¡°No, no! Please wait Please let me explain!!¡± he said putting his body between her and the door, blocking her way out. ¡°Oh, you want to explain? Then explain! Try to explain why you have Marion¡¯s underwear in your room! Let¡¯s see if you can, pervert!¡± said Sachiko in defiance with a commanding voice. ¡°I¡­.I¡­.(registering the fact she said it was Marion¡¯s underwear)¡­.it was the trap¡¯s underwear?¡­..not yours?¡± All colour drained from Hitoshi¡¯s face and he fainted after realizing he had been sniffing and pleasing himself with a guy¡¯s underwear¡­. Next thing he saw when Hitoshi opened his eyes was that he was on his bed. Sachiko having moved the chair from his desk, was currently sitting by his side, waiting for him to wake up. Somehow she had managed to move him there. She was kind enough not to try and kill him while he was out of it, which she could have done easily and more so she hadn¡¯t left him on the floor, for which he was extremely thankful. ¡°Oh, you are awake already? Good! Now I can leave then!¡± she said, standing up to leave. ¡°No, please wait! I didn¡¯t know it was your friend¡¯s, Marion¡¯s underwear! I swear! I swear!¡± Sachiko arched her left eyebrow in mock surprise, she clearly had heard him when he said he thought it was hers and it was a good thing he had fainted right away, otherwise he would have seen her face lighted red from the embarrassment. ¡°Oh? Who did you think it belonged to then?¡± ¡°That¡¯s¡­ that¡¯s¡­.Harry Porker found it somewhere just lying there and he gave it to me for safe keeping till the owner showed up!!! Yes that¡¯s it! That¡¯s all!¡± ¡° Oh, I see ¡­so that¡¯s what that was!¡± she said, but her true thoughts were completely different. ¡°Tsk..liar! Not only are you a pervert but you are also a terrible liar.¡± thought Sachiko amused by the whole situation. She had already figured out what might have happened, putting two and two together, she came to the conclusion that the chubby translator must have pulled a prank to his master once again. You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story. Her amusement though was soon interrupted by Hitoshi who once again timidly asked: ¡°Soooo, about my confession, could I have your answer?¡± Sachiko thought for a bit what to say, how to answer. He, above all, was a Demon and not just any demon, but the Demon General, a hurdle that she and her fellow heroes had to overcome to reach their final goal, which was defeating the Demon King and putting an end to his rein of terror. That was after all their mission as heroes of the human kingdom. She couldn¡¯t give him any false hope, she had to be perfectly clear about it that such a relationship could never be. If that meant being harsh on him in order to make him see it, then so be it. ¡°Listen General. I don¡¯t know if you are insane or something for making a love confession to me. You are a demon and I am a human and a priestess on top of that. I mean, you do realize that what me and my fellow heroes are here for, is not to speak with you demons right? We are here to defeat you and your King and erase your evil existence!¡± ¡°What¡¯s with this game like scenario? Heroes defeating the Demon King? That is so clich¨¦!¡± Hitoshi thought in surprise. After having his soul transferred to the Demon General¡¯s body, Hitoshi was just trying to adapt to this new life, which under no way could be described as perfect as that damn Loki did. Transferring a soul to an already existing body should not be treated lightly. Although the body maintained its original attributes and according to the actions of the new owner could be levelled, the soul and memories of the original were completely erased and replaced by those of the new one. One might wonder what happened to the true Demon General, if Hitoshi was now occupying his body. Well, considering the fact that Hitoshi found himself in the demon¡¯s body, while choking on a big chunk of meat, it would be safe to presume that at the time of Hitoshi¡¯s soul transfer, the General¡¯s time was up. So, if one were to find himself in a situation like this, not knowing anything about the world and in a position where acting differently could lead to death, what was he supposed to do? Of course the answer is act the part avoiding all unnecessary exposure. No one of Hitoshi¡¯s current entourage were previously working for the General. The previous General¡¯s subordinates were all dismissed by Hitoshi as soon as he found himself in the position. All it took from him was some yelling about them being incompetent, throwing a few punches here and there and they were sent off. After that, he chose his own bodyguards and of course he chose the ones who where most human like, the incubus-succubus couple, Nico and Niki. His life had been a busy one after his soul got transferred, trying to adapt without raising any questions. Add to that the fact that all those demonic females (and a few males) were trying to get into his pants, you have to understand he had no time to bother with things like politics. Yet, hearing Sachiko¡¯s outburst, Hitoshi decided to go for broke and have things explained to her properly. ¡°You are right, I may sound crazy since I am not from this world. This body was never mine and I was a human to begin with. I¡¯ve been in this dungeon for more than 50 years, never to step out of it. I have forgotten how long exactly it has been since I¡¯ve been put in this demon¡¯s body. So forgive me for not knowing anything of the world outside. Still don¡¯t you think that it¡¯s kind of rush to judge someone as evil before even knowing him? Have I or my friends ever done anything to harm you?¡± ¡°What do you mean you are not from this world? Were you a human that the Demon King summoned from another world, only to capture you, turn you to one of his minions and have you obey him? Truly even you, must understand that¡¯s evil then!!!¡± the beautiful priestess exclaimed. ¡°As for your friends, you do know they are monsters feeding of from humans right? That man is an incubus sucking the life energy of innocent women, that woman is a succubus feeding of men, and that chubby kid is a bloodsucking vampire! So even if they haven¡¯t hurt us yet, I¡¯ m sure they have hurt people in the past.¡± Hitoshi was just standing there, listening to her talk, his lips tightly sealed, his teeth grinding, his fists clenched. Taking his silence for approval Sachiko speech of ¡°righteousness¡± dragged on. ¡°So, if what you are saying is true and you were once a human, you must help us defeat the Demon King. If we couldn¡¯t even defeat you, then the chances of defeating that guy him would be zero. But with you and your subordinates help, I am sure we can win. If you help us, me and my party will make sure that you and your subordinates will be generously rewarded by our King.¡± Finishing her monologue, Sachiko waited for Hitoshi¡¯s answer to her offer, but what came next was: ¡°About my previous confession¡­consider it as it never happened. You are not the woman I thought you were. You are arrogant, near sighted, and prejudiced beyond belief. What? All demons are evil? Do you even know me to say something like that? No, you just see my face and think this guy is evil! You are just like the rest of them! You only look on the outside never bothering to look what¡¯s inside of a person. And don¡¯t even dare to speak to me about my friends! Yes, Nico, Niki and Harry are indeed what you said they were, an incubus, a succubus and a vampire. But, I don¡¯t care what they did in the past, all I care is that all these years that I¡¯ve been with them not even once did they harm any human being. Nico and Niki are a couple and they are feeding of each other, while Harry can eat anything and I¡¯ve never seen him drinking blood. So, even if they are what you so call monsters, even if they did harm someone in the past, I do believe that they are the living proof that people can change. Don¡¯t mark them as evil just because they are not humans and don¡¯t try to tell me that all humans are good!¡± ¡°As for your offer to fight the Demon King for you. Ha! Even if I was in love with you before, don¡¯t think that I am that stupid to go against a guy so strong and risk dying for you! If you want to go and fight him, be my guest, go and try! I won¡¯t stop you from being killed, I don¡¯t care what will happen to you. Not anymore! So get out of my room! Go get your friends and go defeat the so called evil Demon King!¡± Sachiko was dumbfounded by his sudden burst of anger, but her pride wouldn¡¯t let her just sit there and be reprimanded for saying what should be common logic for any human being. ¡°Fine, who needs you demons anyway. We are fully capable of defeating the Demon King on our own! You will see that in the end good always prevail!¡± she said and turning on her toes without giving him a second glance she opened the door and left, fuming with anger. Did she or did he reject her in the end? As she was passing thought the corridor to find Eric and the rest, a loud, angry yell could be heard coming from the room she just left, echoing through the whole dungeon. ¡°Nico, Niki, Harry! Get your asses to my room!¡± Chapter 16: Not giving up. Chapter 16: Not giving up. ¡°Nico, Niki, Harry! Get your asses to my room!¡± All of them, upon hearing their Master¡¯s bark, left whatever they were doing to run to him. On their way out of the game-room they met with Sachiko, it was clear that she was angry and by their Master¡¯s yelling it was certain that the confession didn¡¯t go well at all. No, even that would be an understatement. It would be more accurate to say that the shit hit the fan and that one way or the other, everyone involved would pay the price. Making sure to give the priestess the stinky eye, they left without even casting a glance to their former play-mates. Well, at least Nico and Niki didn¡¯t. Harry on the other hand, casted once last glance to Moira, who ever since that kiss back in the grand hall seemed lost in her own thoughts, and also rushed to his Master. Sachiko¡¯s anger, briefly dissipated only to be replaced by complete surprise and then anger once again. ¡°What on Fraya¡¯s name happened here?¡± she asked Moira, seeing as she was the only one in the room fully clothed, albeit a little lost. ¡°Why are all the men naked? Hey! Are you even listening to me?¡± Moira coming out of her stupor by Sachiko¡¯s yelling, after realizing what the question was, finally said: ¡°Eh¡­? That¡¯s¡­. ah, I think, they were playing strip poker with that woman and that man from the general¡¯s party.¡± ¡°What do you mean you think? Weren¡¯t you here the whole time?¡± ¡°Eh¡­ I was¡­I think¡­But never mind me. What did the Demon General want to talk to you about?¡± Moira said, trying to turn the discussion away from her. ¡°He wanted to confess to me! Ha! Can you believe that Moira? A demon confessing to a human that he¡¯s in love with her of all things!¡± ¡°Eh..no¡­.I can¡¯t believe it.¡± Moira mumbled, trying to sound as convincing as she could. ¡°But what happened, how did you react, what did you tell him? Did you accept his confession?¡± ¡°I was surprised at first of course. I mean not only did he tell me that he loved me, but he also told me a crazy story about him being a human in a demon¡¯s body, not being from this world, not knowing about how evil the Demon King is¡­.Moira, I am telling you that guy must be insane! He even told me that just because they are demons that doesn¡¯t mean they are evil and that just because we are humans doesn¡¯t mean we are good. I mean can you believe the nerve of that guy? He even scolded me for calling his friends monsters, saying that the man and woman, who these morons men in our party, played strip- poker with and by the way, I don¡¯t know if you noticed, are an incubus and succubus, were not sucking energy from humans but from each other. Oh, and don¡¯t let me forget about the kid who¡¯s a vampire, that crazy General said that he can eat anything and that he is on something like a no blood diet.¡± ¡°Is that so¡­¡± said Moira in deep thought. ¡°Seriously what¡¯s wrong with you? Are you even listening to me? Eric, Helion, Marion put your clothes on already, for God¡¯s sake!¡± yelling at every single one of them. The men were currently in just their underwear and by the visible bulges it was obvious they were aroused. The rest of their clothes were off and on the poker table, which meant that if Sachiko was a minute late, they would be butt naked from losing to the incubus-succubus couple. Seriously, did those guys even think that they could win against such a couple? ¡°Ha? Oh, but yes of course I¡¯m listening! Now tell me what was your answer.¡± Moira pressed on. ¡°What do you mean what was my answer? Do you even have to ask me about that? Of course I have stated the obvious right from the start! A demon and human relationship is not possible, because after all we are here to defeat the Demon King, not to chat with him! But did he listen to me? No! He just went on and on and finally he called me arrogant, near sighted and prejudiced and he took back his confession. Hmph, just thinking about it makes me furious! And to think that after hearing that he was once a human, I even offered him and his subordinates to help us fight, promising that our King would reward them generously!¡± ¡°What did he say? Did he accept? I mean, it would be so much easier for us to win this way. Besides, if one of them were to die during the battle, it wouldn¡¯t matter either way. Right? They are just expendables!¡± on that point, it was Eric who had just joined in on the conversation that made the question. He and the rest had completely missed on the previous conversation about Hitoshi¡¯s love confession to Sachiko. Maybe it was just fate, plain luck or just the men simply being dazed by Nico and Niki, but in the end, it seemed that the whole confession discussion was meant to be a girls¡¯ talk. Upon hearing his complete indifference towards the life of the demons who if deciding to join them would risk not just their lives, but also their future, as joining them would be considered an act of treason and they would be forever hunted down from their own kind, to suffer and be killed, both Moira and Sachiko thought : ¡°What an arrogant little prick¡± Moira meaning it literally, as she had the ¡°honour¡± of experiencing it first hand, while Sachiko metaphorically. But not just their thoughts were identical, their facial expressions were the same as well. They both had their masks on, not to show any disdain towards their leader¡¯s words, they kept their mouths shut. After all, none of them wanted to be known as someone showing compassionate feelings towards the demon race. That would raise a lot of questions! ¡°He said no, neither he nor his subordinates are going to fight for us. If we want to defeat the Demon King then we have to do it on our own, even if that kills us. He said that he is not going to stop us from going on ahead, though.¡± ¡°Tsk, I guess that is something. So what did you tell him?¡± asked Eric curious. ¡°I told him that we don¡¯t need them demons and that we are fully capable of defeating the Demon King on our own!¡± said Sachiko. ¡°Ha,ha,ha ! That¡¯s our Sachiko! Of course we don¡¯t need that shitty general and his magic tricks to defeat the Demon King! I can take him down, don¡¯t worry. We will show those demons who¡¯s boss. Ok, let¡¯s go guys! I¡¯m fired up!¡± Eric proudly declared and marched forward. Helion and Marion both clothed, followed suit after their leader, while Sachiko and Moira followed on the back whispering among themselves. ¡°Do you really think we can win against the Demon King, when we didn¡¯t even stand a chance against the General?¡± asked Moira nervous about the upcoming battle. ¡°I don¡¯t know Hitoshi said¡­¡± ¡°Hitoshi?¡± asked Moira raising her eyebrows in surprise. Were Sachiko and him already on a first name basis? Didn¡¯t she say that she flat out rejected him? ¡°I¡­.I.. mean the General. Yes¡­ I meant to say General Hitoshi¡­cause you know that¡¯s his name¡­.Anyway, I don¡¯t know Moira, the General said that the King is very strong and we are walking to our funeral.¡± ¡°Is that so¡­.¡± said Moira, suddenly uncertain about the whole situation, thinking that she would like to at least have the chance to say goodbye to her ¡°little prince¡± before her possibly final battle. MEANWHILE IN HITOSHI¡¯S ROOM The sight that greeted Nico, Niki and Harry, when they entered the room, was that of the once proud Demon General, sitting on his bed, his head staring the ground, his long silver hair flowing down, covering his face and his shoulders shaking. The rest of the room was in a chaos, the table was smashes in two, the chair was broken in pieces, the books were scattered all around some of them with their pages ripped off¡­ Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more. Approaching a person in a state like this, especially after taking into account that the said person is their Master, required a delicate hand, someone with sense and sensibility, and among them there was only one such person. Nico, the male incubus, voluntarily took this role, and slowly approached Hitoshi, taking a sit next to him. ¡°Please don¡¯t cry Master. Tell us what happened. It couldn¡¯t be that bad right? To every problem there is a solution. Talk to us and we will figure it out.¡± Upon hearing the comforting words of Nico, Hitoshi jolted up just like a spring, standing up. His face now completely visible, there was anger on it, his eyes were blazing red and on his cheek a deep red mark of an open palm. He had been slapped! Harry was scared shitless seeing the slap mark and his master¡¯s angry face. ¡°Did the priestess rat on him for the red thong? Did she think that master was a pervert and slap him? Was the master angry on him and he told him to come so he could be punished?¡± All of his assumptions though were proven wrong as soon he heard Hitoshi declare, ¡°Crying who¡¯s crying? Like hell would I cry for someone like her. And problem? What problem? There is no problem! Harry was right!¡± he roared. His fears long forgotten, Harry couldn¡¯t help but state: ¡°Of course I was right! I¡¯m always right! But¡­. what was I right in exactly?¡± ¡°You were right Harry, she¡¯s¡­.she¡¯s A SHITTY PRIESTESS!!!!¡± said Hitoshi fuming with anger. ¡°¡­.¡± Harry ¡°¡­.¡± Niki ¡°Master calm down! Please! There¡¯s no need calling her names Just tell us word for word what exactly went on in here.¡± Nico said. Leaving out the part about him confessing to the priestess that he was not from this world and that in reality he was a human whose soul has taken over the General¡¯s body, he began to explain in detail what has transpired between him and Sachiko and what has caused him to be so angry. After hearing him, all stood silent for a second. It was the always ground headed Nico though who once again spoke. ¡°Master, are you an idiot?¡± Hitoshi was surprised by Nico¡¯s out of character outburst, but never the less after being called insane by Sachiko and being rejected, his temper fuse was short, he wouldn¡¯t tolerate being called names by his subordinates on top of that!. Glaring at him and ready to snap at Nico for calling him an idiot, still couldn¡¯t stop Nico from scolding his pupil. ¡°No! Master now YOU are going to listen to me! You know that woman for like what? 30 mins? And you expect her to what, to actually say she loves you as well after hearing your confession? It does not work this way! Take it from someone who knows first hand how hard is convincing a woman to date you, let alone you make her fall in love with you!¡± That last sentence was being said as Nico looked at Niki, who in turn blushed in embarrassment reminiscing all the pains that Nico had to go through in order to win her heart. After all Niki was a tough cookie to crack and a little wild during her younger days. It was not easy at all for poor Nico wooing her, let alone dating it and don¡¯t get me started about being her husband. Still, Nico pressed on, he was far from done. ¡°So what if she called us demons? In the end isn¡¯t that what we are truly are? Thank you for defending us, but was there really any reason to get angry at her for stating the obvious? It¡¯s true what she said, we did hurt humans in the past. All of us did and we would gladly do it again to defend those we hold dear and that includes you as well Master. I believe I speak on behalf of every one here when I say this. Isn¡¯t this right guys?¡± ¡°Damn right it is!¡± Harry Porker said with a smile. ¡°Yes, it! Master is almost like a younger brother to me as well!¡± said Niki happily. Hitoshi, tried and tried, but in the end he was still unable to hold back his tears. He was so moved by their words and it was not tears of sorrow, but of utter happiness to fall from his ruby eyes. Never since his parents died, his only safe haven in his previous life on earth and Kyoto, had he been so fully accepted by someone else. To hear them declare that he was dear to them, filled his heart with warmth he never thought he could feel and he silently made a promise to himself to never let harm fall upon them. He was somewhat ashamed crying in front of them like this, shattering his cool and fearsome image, that¡¯s why he had lowered his face, his hair cascading and falling like a curtain to cover his face, but it was obvious from the teardrops falling slowly to the ground that he was crying. Still none of his friends and that included even the usually sharp tongued Harry, cause in the end that¡¯s what all of them were to him, his first true friends, made a fuss about seeing him like this. Instead, they pretended as if they never saw him crying like a baby. Nico clearing his throat, spoke to him again. Yet, this time his tone was not the scolding one he used before. No, this time, his voice was gentle and caring like a parent trying to explain things to his ignorant child ¡°Master, I couldn¡¯t help but notice from all the things you told us, that not even once Sachiko mentioned she found you scary. I mean, speaking to you like that, doesn¡¯t it at least prove to you, that she doesn¡¯t fear you at all? Think about it for a while, she rejected you not because of your looks but because of your race. That¡¯s what she has been taught by the human society after all. All humans grow up thinking of the demon race as evil. She doesn¡¯t know you, she didn¡¯t have the chance to know you yet. So, how do you expect her to disregard in a moment all the things she had been taught since childhood? You are the one who has to show her that you are different. Now the real question remains: What are you going to do? Are you going to give up on her?¡± ¡°Give up on her? Like hell I am! No, I will make sure she regrets it! But for that to happen I need to make sure the foolish woman stays alive, even if that means that I have to fight the Demon King.¡± ¡°Okay then we are coming with you!¡± ¡°No! You guys all stay here. I will go alone. I don¡¯t want you risking your lives for me. This is my fight!¡± said Hitoshi. ¡°What do you mean your fight?¡± said Harry angrily ¡°Don¡¯t you know that¡¯s my girl Moira fighting over there? How do you expect me to sit down and let her risk her beautiful body facing the King? What sort of man do you take me for? So, don¡¯t you even think about unsummoning me, grab your mana potions and let¡¯s go kick ass!¡± ¡°I am coming as well, Moira¡¯s my family after all. I can let the one that could be the last live descendant of the Scarlet family perish in the hands of the Demon King!¡± declared Niki. ¡°Niki¡¯s family, is my family. I will also fight!¡± said Nico ¡°What the hell has happened while I was away with Sachiko? Moira is Harry¡¯s girl and Niki¡¯s relative?¡± Hitoshi asked surprised after hearing this. ¡°Now, is not the time to explain Master, We have to hurry and go fight FOR LOVE!¡± shouted Harry, starting to run. Hitoshi started to run after him, being inspired by little Harry¡¯s declaration he also shouted ¡°FOR LOVE!¡±. Niki followed suit shouting ¡°FOR FAMILY!¡± While Nico who was just a bit back from all of them shouted ¡°FOR SPARTA!¡± Getting all of his friends glares, he just laughed and said ¡°What, I am not allowed to joke for once?¡± ¡°What the hell is SPARTA?¡± everyone asked. ¡° I don¡¯t know but I thought it would be cool if I said it.¡± After that all of them were running to get to the Demon¡¯s King throne room, where the heroes would be fighting, hoping that they wouldn¡¯t be too late.
Thank you all for the comments and the reviews. I hope you enjoy the story so far. Chapter 17 A: The final battle I hope you like the chapter.... Chapter 17 A¡¯: The final Battle Sachiko and co had left the Generals area. As he had promised, there was no one to stop them from opening the heavy metal doors that were cited at the back of the grand hall and were not along ago, guarded by him and his loyal servants. As the heroes¡¯ party cautiously stepped through them, they were slowly taking in their surroundings. All of them were in a fully alerted state, cautious about danger and nervous about the whole situation. The site that greeted them once they stepped behind those closed doors, was that of pitch black darkness. But in the few seconds that it took them to get out of surprise, get used to it and deal with it, the darkness had already been lifted. There were torches on the walls, that seconds after they set their foot in, were magically ignited, illuminating the place. It was as if their arrival, was expected. Realizing that the element of surprise was completely lost, the heroes could only continue their way forward. Taking the stairs now completely visible by lights, they started climbing down. At the end of them stood a huge circular room. The room itself could only be considered as a cavern sculpted deep inside the Athos Mountain. A red long velvety carpet was placed on the ground reaching all the way to a throne. The cavern walls were filled with all sorts of gems and ores, all of which were in their pure raw form, untouched by human hands for what seemed eons. It was as if those mineral treasures had been waiting for someone to mine and refine them. The light pouring from the torches around the room was reflecting on these gifts of nature creating a rare sight to the eye. If one was to be in front of such a beautiful and majestic sight, he would just stand there in awe, mezmerized by the beauty of nature. Alas, that was not the case for Eric. For him the only thing that mattered right now was defeating the one currently sitting on his throne, tapping the nails of his fingers on his throne impatiently, a stoic expression on his face. King Asmodeus didn¡¯t look alarmed at all by their arrival. No, on contraire, it was as if he was expecting them all along. For a demon his whole appearance and the aura surrounding him only screamed royalty. His long, white hair were tied loosely in a ponytail, making his pointy ears visible. His wrinkled face and long white beard spoke of old age and wisdom, but the look on his eyes did nothing to betray his true age. No, these golden eyes that were shining ever so brightly full of vitality did not belong to a weak old man. One might even confuse him for an old human geezer if not for the two long horns coming out from his forehead and the elongated canines protruding from his mouth.. Those two long horns reminding those of a bull, were golden tinted, signifying his position as King in the demonic Hierarchy. He was wearing white coloured robes adorned with unknown and intricate runes truly a strange clothing choice for someone rumoured to be of the warrior class. If someone were to be asked about what he thought upon meeting such a figure he would certainly say that the one before him was a sage, a scholar and definitely not a warrior. Yet, if Hitoshi were to be asked after looking to this man¡¯s eyes he would surely say that this man was a wolf in sheep¡¯s clothes, not someone to trifle with and a dangerous opponent. Nothing on the Demon King¡¯s whole appearance spoke of his position. There was no crown, no sceptre, no golden threaded armaments or legendary swords. The only luxurious items on him besides his gold tinted horns appeared to be two silver rings worn in the middle fingers of both his hands and a bronze bracelet. ¡°Was he going to fight them unarmed? Did they catch him unprepared? If so that would be even better.¡± Thoughts like that passed through the heroes¡¯ heads. Little did they know that things would not be so easy for them. If one was to closely inspect those seemingly simple jewerly on King Asmodeus he would see miniature carvings on each and everyone of them. All three had one thing in common they were depicting thorn threaded chains, yet the difference among those three was that each one of those had the chains wrapped around a different person. His left ring had the image of a female assassin bearing dual daggers, his right one that of a male warrior with his scimitar and the bracelet that of a man clothed in robes bearing a staff on his hands, presumably a mage. Hitoshi was not the only one in the demonic hierarchy to posses an item able to summon a ¡°pet¡±. The demon King also had his own one¡¯s and those three pieces of jewelry were just that. The Demon King was still sitting in his throne, tapping his fingers on the arms of said throne in expectation, eyeing the heroes intrigued. Eric assuming his role as the leader of the party, wanting to take the Demon King by surprise, quickly barked his orders and rushed in for the kill. ¡°Everyone stay focused! Attack as planned and victory is ours!¡± Even in the few seconds that it took for Eric to close in the few meters separating him from the Demon King, Asmodeus seemed unwilling to stand up. Marion was rushing after Eric to join in the attack. Eric had a confident smile on his face as he was thrusting his sword, the tip of his sword just about to pierce through Asmodeus chest and deal a blow to his heart. His smile though soon froze on his face. His sword was stopped inches before it even made contact with the King¡¯s skin. What he saw left him speechless. The tip of the sword was between Asmodeus two fingers, completely stopping its deadly course. Before he even had time to react, Eric found all wind knocked out from his lungs, a strong open palm had hit him on the chest. His rumoured unbreakable armor plate, crafted from the most famous blacksmith in the human kingdom, was now dented inwards with the clear sign of a hand on it. That blow was enough to send him flying several meters away, making him crash onto the cave¡¯s walls and spit a mouthful of blood. Four of his ribs had broken from that small inpact and his lungs were ruptured. Sachiko rushed in to heal him. Thankfully after her heal, although a bit dizzy from the hit, his ego shattered and shaken by realizing the difference in strength, Eric was alright and back on his feet. Meanwhile, Marion who was rushing after him, after seeing Eric go flying, putting all strength to his/her adamantium shield tried to bash the Demon King. Asmodeus still sitting on his throne, with a speed unmatching that of an old man, just lifted both his legs seconds before contact and with both of them pushed on Marion¡¯s shield sending her both and her shield flying and crashing next to Eric. Once again Sachiko quickly healed her. Moira and Helion, were shocked by watching Eric sent flying, after all he was supposed to be the strongest among them. Still they stayed focused. They were waiting for Marion¡¯s attack to land a hit and pull agro on him, so that they could start their ranged attacks. But after also seeing Marion, who was supposed to have the highest defence among them being cast away as though she was wearing cloth, they were both reluctant to attack. No, they were not just reluctant, they were scared shitless! If the Demon King could do so much damage to their heavily armoured companions, one hit from him and the leather armoured Helion and cloth armoured Moira would both be dead. All of them were just sitting there, looking at the Demon King in fear. He was far too strong for them to win this fight and he hadn¡¯t even directly attacked them yet. All of his blows so far were just defensive ones, performed in such a leisure way¡­ So, when they saw him finally stand up from his throne, they believed that this was the end for them. Now he was going to attack and nothing could be said or done to prevent that. How foolish of them to think that they were strong enough to face him. Asmodeus stood up, a scowl on his face, staring at them he finally spoke. ¡°Young people these days have no manners! You barge in, not even introducing yourselves to the one you are going to kill! Tsk! But I am not the one who should enlighten you, young ones, to what should already have been taught to you by your foolish human parents.¡± ¡°Seeing as all of you came here that must mean that you have somehow managed to kill my General and his minions. How you have accomplished such a feature is something that eludes me, considering how weak all of you are. Yet, that does not matter to me either. What matters is that you humans have dared to raise your weapons against me.¡± ¡°Your Kings and by saying your Kings, I mean the Human and Elven King, must have thought that me being secluded here was a sign of weakness and sent you here the ¡°chosen ones¡± to defeat me? Ha! How foolish of them!¡± ¡°It¡¯s true that I am growing old. These past few years I have been waiting for your Kings to send someone to me. I have grown tired of this endless circle of killing. We are all living on this world, on Gaia, why must we continue killing each other? I even chose this secluded dungeon for the meeting to take place and not in the castle of Villainia. It was peace all along that I was seeking, but did your Kings respond to my offers? No! They just kept sending people here to kill me, thinking that my peace offerings were a sign of weakness and lusting after all the wealth the demon land had to offer.¡± ¡°Since birth you humans were taught that Demons are evil. You killed our brethren, looted their corpses and made trophies of their carcasses. The ones you didn¡¯t kill you made them into your slaves, tormenting them day after day for simply being born demons. I have tried and tried to make all demons have patience, that peace was near but alas that was not entirely possible. Who could stand seeing his brothers and sisters being treated this way? No one could! And you blame us for pillaging your villages and killing you, when it was all along YOY HUMANS, that have invaded our land and build them there?¡± The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation. ¡°I blame my foolish age for even believing that peace would be achieved with you! My nephew Lucifer was right all along! Humans and elves are too far gone for that now. So, let your death ¡°heroes¡± (said sarcastically) be a proof to your Kings, that we the Demon Race are not weak! That we will not bow down, not anymore! Your presence here is an act of war and if it is war that you seek, then so shall be it!¡± All of them just stood there dumbfounded, unable to believe the Demon King¡¯s words. All of that had to be lies, yes that¡¯s what they were. There was no way that all the things that were told to them by their Kings, by their parents, friends and teachers were false. If what Asmodeus was saying was true, didn¡¯t that mean that their whole existence was that of a pawn? No, it was the Demon King who had to be lying, trying to make their hearts waver, that was what the heroes firmly believed. Sachiko was shaken to the core by the things she had heard from the Demon King. She as well as all the others couldn¡¯t believe it, but still she had to speak. The priestess addressed the Demon King trying to reason with him and find a way out for all of them to escape alive. ¡°Even if what you said is true King, we didn¡¯t know any of this. Our Kings were the ones that gave us this quest to defeat you. We are innocent! So, if the Demon race is not evil as you¡¯ve said, then you should let us leave.¡± Asmodeus looked at the human female that had the courage to speak to him, even though the rest of her companions shook in fear. This young woman still had the clearness of mind to try and reason with him. This was truly a marvellous woman even if she belong to the human race. ¡°You! What is your name child?¡± he asked his voice laced with authority. ¡°My name is Sachiko your majesty and I am the priestess of this party.¡±, she respectfully, yet without bowing, addressed him introducing herself. ¡°Hmm, Sachiko-sama, you claim to be innocent. You say that it was your King that gave you this quest. But let me ask you this: Have you or your friends even bothered to ask your ¡°Kings¡± why? ( the word Kings spat with venom)? Why do we have to kill the Demon King? Why is he evil? No, you simply accepted this quest. Besides, on your way to this mountain, to this dungeon did you or didn¡¯t you kill any demons you found on your way? Let me answer that for you. You did! And you still claim that you are innocent?¡± ¡°¡­.¡± Sachiko as well as all the rest were unable to answer. ¡° You accepted this quest and all the dangers that involved, including death, child. You will face the consequences, the least I can do is to grant you the honour of dying a warrior¡¯s death. You are too weak and don¡¯t deserve to die by my hands, so let your blood bathe the hands of my servants.¡± Upon finishing his last words, he spoke in a loud voice. ¡°Come forth my servants! Aria, Sirius, Darius, grant to these ignorant kids the hero¡¯s death they were so blindly, willingly, seeking!¡± On his command three figures, appeared out of thin air. Out of his left silver ring a purple light was manifested materializing the one called Aria. She was a female assassin with a slender figure, green eyes, short purple hair, and modest breasts. On her hands were a set of daggers, their blades bended and the tips green coloured, only screamed of poison. Her athletic figure was accentuated by her tightly fitted, midnight blue coloured clothes, reminding the ones worn by ninjas, her face was hidden behind a scarf, her beautiful emerald-green eyes emitting a deadly light. From his bracelet a red light came forth materializing Sirius, the mage. He looked like a weak elderly man, dressed in faded red robes. With his wrinkled face, white as snow hair, trimmed mustache and blue eyes wearing eyeglasses, he seemed like such a sweet old grandpa. On his right hand he was holding his staff, but the way he was using it, supporting his whole body on it, if one was to mistake it for a cane it was to be expected. Finally from his right ring came out Darius the warrior. Darius was dressed in a leather armour. He was tall, muscular and gallant. His skin was tanned with a few scars here and there, that did nothing to reduce his manly sex appeal. His light brown hair were cut short and his almond eyes held no warmth in them, they were the eyes of a gladiator.. All three of the Demon King¡¯s summons had been humans at some point. Who they were, what was their story and how did they end up this way, was something known to them and only them alone. After hearing their Master¡¯s orders, without raising any questions, they all attacked. Aria rushed in to make a sneak attack on Moira. Taking out the sorceress was a priority when fighting a group after all. Seconds before her poisonous backstab landed on her though, the tip of her blade was blocked by a sceptre. It was Sachiko who had been next to Moira right from the start that had seen the assassin¡¯s movement and blocked her. To assume that Sachiko was just a regular healer would be a huge mistake. Realizing since the beginning that the healers were the most likely to be targeted first in a battle and whose lives depended only on their weapon bearing companions, Sachiko took it upon herself to learn about self defence. It was not as though she was some martial arts expert, her attack power as a priestess was too low, but still she was quite skilled in using her staff both for healing as well as for attacking and defending. Aria was shocked seeing her attack being blocked by who she thought would be the easiest one to kill. Yet her surprise, didn¡¯t last long, cause it was the priestess who once again tried to attack her with her staff, while shouting to the sorceress. ¡°Moira, watch out for god¡¯s sake! Activate your mana shield and let¡¯s fry this bitch!¡± Moira who was taken by surprise by the previous sneaking attack of the female assassin was quick to act. Enabling her mana shield which was an active skill greatly increasing the caster¡¯s defence for a short period of time. She was quick to start shooting spells one after the other at the assassin. Aria on the other hand was not staying idle. Making use of her agility, the demon King¡¯s summon was trying to evade as many of them as she could while closing in on Moira¡­.. Meanwhile, Darius took it upon himself to fight the one in the heroes¡¯ party who seemed the strongest and that was Eric. His boots sprinting on the ground he soon found himself right in front of Eric. Eric was surprised by the leather armoured warrior¡¯s quick footwork. Yet, he was confident that the one facing him with that frail looking weapon woulnd¡¯t stand a chance against him and his great longsword. Eric tried to slash Darius on the chest. His attack though was blocked by Darius¡¯s scimitar. He added force behind his longsword, sure that Darius¡¯s sword would be pushed back or if he was lucky enough break. That never happened though. No matter how much he was pushing his sword towards the other man¡¯s throat the scimitar was not giving an inch. Darius had a wolfish grin on his face, before swiftly kicking Eric on his right knee, causing him to lose his balance and land on the ground. Darius went in for the kill, the tip of his blade aiming for Eric¡¯s heart, but Eric wasn¡¯t named leader of this party for nothing. He reacted quickly, he rolled and evaded that attack and in no time at all he was back on his feet exchanging blows with Darius. Sirius on the other hand, chose to attack that cute little girl bearing with her beautiful petite hands a sword and shield that looked too heavy for her to lift on her own and the despicable elf archer standing behind her. The elf was going to die that was for sure, but the cute girl¡­.he had to speak his mind before he grew up too old and died. ¡°Ojou-chan, this is no place for a cute little girl like you to be. Why don¡¯t you leave your loser friends and go have drink with this grandpa? It will be my treat!¡± ¡°You perverted old man! Stay away from Marion, HE¡¯S MINE!¡± the archer yelled while shooting a rain of flaming arrows to the mage. The mage with a waver of his hand activated his own mana shield. Helion¡¯s arrows unable to penetrate the defensive barrier dropped to the ground destroyed. ¡°HE????¡± Sirius looked confused. It was his Master¡¯s loud voice, that was already sitting on his throne watching the whole fight in amusement that cleared all misconceptions on the old mage¡¯s part. ¡°Sirius have you grown senile? That guy with the shield and the sword is no girl. He¡¯s a man in woman¡¯s clothes. What are you doing flirting with him? Didn¡¯t I say you have to kill them?¡± ¡°He¡¯s a trap?!!!¡± facing Marion once again he asked, more likely declared. ¡°You¡¯re a trap? How dare you play with an old man¡¯s heart? Die!!!!!¡± Sirius enraged for being fooled, started throwing any spell he could think of to Marion, who was blocking them with her shield while slowly closing the distance between her/him and the perverted mage. Helion was launching arrow after arrow to the mage trying to wear down his shield and keep him busy while his companion was gaining distance. Hitoshi and his friends found Sachiko and her friends fighting the Demon King¡¯s bodyguards. It was clear that they were having trouble facing them and the Demon King wasn¡¯t even attacking yet. ¡°Good thing we made it in time, they wouldn¡¯t stand chance otherwise. So Master what do we do?¡± asked Nico. ¡°Niki, you go help the trap and his boyfriend with the old man. You can use any means necessary to win.¡± ¡°Yes Master, I will make sure to send him back to netherworld a happy man.¡± she replied ¡°Nico, you go help that moron Eric¡± ¡°You can count on me Master!¡± Nico said. ¡°You Harry, since you are so fond of the sorceress, go help her and Sachiko defeat the assassin. Let me warn you though, if anything bad happens to Sachiko, you will pay for it!¡± ¡° I will make sure to keep both my Moira and the shitty priestess safe, General!¡¯ Harry happily with a mock salute said to Hitoshi. Hitoshi glared at him, but still Harry seemed unfazed. ¡°Ok, then I will try to make reason with the King. I am not sure what will come out of it though¡­.¡± Chapter 17B: The final battle To those who have read the story before there are slight changes in this chapter. Chapter 17 B¡¯: The final Battle After receiving the battle plan, everyone rushed into the battlefield to take down their allocated targets. Hitoshi used teleport jaunt, a skill enabling its user to cross a great distance in the blink of an eye, to get near the throne of the Demon King Asmodeus. Asmodeus was surprised to see right in front of him the General who he thought was dead. Still, seeing as Hitoshi hasn¡¯t attacked him yet, he spoke his mind. ¡°You¡­ General, you are not dead? What¡¯s the meaning of this?¡± Asmodeus said astonished. The last sentence uttered upon seeing the General¡¯s subordinates rush into the battlefield only to¡­help the heroes? ¡°I am sorry King, but I have to step in. I can¡¯t let you kill them. Please let them be, stop this attack. Let them live. I beg you!¡± ¡°Are you completely insane? How can you ask me that? Those foolish humans entered here and attacked me! Me, the one who has been seeking peace all along! I tried and tried General! But can¡¯t you see it? All that they see in us Demons, is evil! They keep invading our land, killing our people and looting our corpses, all while claiming that we are the bad guys!¡± Hitoshi was surprised by Asmodeus¡¯s declaration. The Demon King wanted peace? ¡°What the hell is going on? Damn me and my foolish indifference towards the world I was transferred to!¡± Hitoshi thought silently, cursing himself. Still, he tried to reason with the King: ¡°King if it¡¯s peace you are seeking this is not the way to achieve this!¡± MEANWHILE¡­¡­ Aria VS Sachiko, Moira and Harry Harry seeing Moira, his woman with her mana shield already broken, being under the heavy attacks of the agile moving female assassin, Aria, while Sachiko was casting healing spells as fast as she could, made haste to come to her aid. Aria had decided that the best way to go with this battle, would be to take out the female sorceress first and her annoying mana shield. For her the priestess posed the least of threats. It was the sorceress that had to go down first. She decided that once Moira¡¯s shield was down, she could deal damage to her and even if the priestess kept healing her, she would still end up dead eventually. After all, the healer¡¯s ability to heal depended on mana which is not endless. If she kept healing the sorceress, the priestess sooner or later would run out of mana and both of them would die by her hand. Making use of her high agility, Aria evaded most of the offensive spells that Moira was throwing at her. She had already closed in on her and was swinging her dual daggers, wearing down slowly but effectively Moira¡¯s barrier, till it was broken. Sachiko kept her distance from the female assassin. She was casting every healing spell she had in her arsenal at Moira. Droplets of sweat covered her alabaster skin and her only hope right now was that Eric or Marion would soon step in and save them both. If Moira was to fall, then she soon would be dead, although she was confident in her own skills, Sachiko was not so delusional as to think that she could match the agile Aria.. Still help came for them from the person she least expected! It was the devious translator, the chubby eyeglassed, black clothed kid, Harry! Harry, as soon he was close enough casted a freezing bolt. Frost covered Aria¡¯s feet slowing her down, her once insane speed had been reduced greatly. All girls were surprised by the sudden appearance, still Aria had the clarity of mind to jump several feet away, assuming a defensive stance, her dual daggers ready to block anything thrown at her. Quickly scanning her surroundings, a smirk adorned her face, as soon as she recognized her attacker. ¡°Ho? Look what the cat dragged in! If it isn¡¯t the little piggy, the snotty brat Harry, the General¡¯s gopher!¡± Harry greeted his teeth, ¡°How dare this bitch insult him in front of his woman!¡± he thought, before quickly answering with a few insults of his own. ¡°Oh! If it isn¡¯t Aria nee-chan, the flat-chested maiden of the Netherworld! And here I was wondering where I could find in this dungeon a washboard to wash my clothes when I could have all along asked you to lend me your chest! What¡¯s up Aria? You are after the sorceress because she is more well developed in some areas, than you? ¡± Aria could be seen fuming with anger. Hell, even steam was blowing out of her ears! ¡°A woman¡¯s worth is not measured by her breasts! Die! Die! Die! You chauvinistic pig!¡± Not even bothering with the girls anymore, in Aria¡¯s eyes right now there was only one target she had to kill the General¡¯s summon Harry Porker! The freezing bolt Harry had casted before, had already passed its duration and had worn off. Aria rushed in for the kill. She quickly closed in the distance between her and Harry and tried to slash him, but Harry being ¡­well Harry, evaded by turning into his bat form. A small bat could be seen flying around Aria, diving in and clawing her on the face. Aria was not standing idly, but that damn bat depicted a speed greater than her. She was swinging her daggers in the air wildly, trying to hit him, like a woman possessed. Harry seeing Sachiko and Moira sitting there just watching, yelled : ¡°What are you both waiting and just stand there gawking! Yo, shitty priestess buff me! And you, Moira dear! Send this flat-chested bitch back to the Netherworld! Don¡¯t worry I have all agro on me. Damn! Even if I was dead, I would still have all agro on me, this crazy chick is seriously angry with me!¡± Both women were quick to overcome their surprise and proceeded as ordered. Sachiko, although pissed, she still buffed and casted the occasional heal here and there on the eyeglassed bat/brat. Moira on the other hand, skilfully threw everything she had in her offensive spells arsenal at the tomboy assassin, while being careful not to hit the little bat. Soon enough Aria¡¯s health bottomed out and puff she was gone back to the Netherworld. At the same time¡­.. Sirius VS Marion, Helion and Niki When Niki made it to the place where the trap Marion and his lover Helion were fighting the old geezer, she found Marion and Helion trapped in a corner. Helion was behind Marion, who had her shield up trying to cover the both of them, while the elven archer was trying to take advantage of any cool downs in the mages attack, to throw his arrows. Her incubus mode on, Niki walked behind Sirius without him noticing, pushing his back with both her hands, causing him to lose his balance and fall down, she cried: ¡°Nooooooooo¡­¡­..!!!! Stop hitting them!¡± ¡°You, who are you? How dare you push me?¡± he said focusing his gaze to the one, who sneakily attacked him from behind. Yet, seeing the voluptuous young woman stand there, pouting her lips, Sirius¡¯s mind was no longer committed into attacking the heroes, who were both warily watching what was about to happen. Sirius after being suddenly attacked by the sexy succucbus and falling down, swiftly with a flexibility and agility unmatching his age and class, stood up, facing Niki, who in turn answered his questions: This book''s true home is on another platform. Check it out there for the real experience. ¡°I am Niki and I am here to defend the swordswoman and the archer.¡± ¡°Ha, you want to defend that fake woman and her boyfriend? Then you must be a fake woman as well!!!¡± Sirius yelled. Niki on the other hand seemed unfazed by his shouts and attacked him¡­.. ¡°You dare call ME a fake woman? See these!¡± (she reached with both hands and she pushed the d¨¦colletage of her dress to the side using both hands to reveal her naked glorious 36D¡¯s breasts) Sirius¡¯s jaw, upon seeing the biggest he ever saw mountains of flesh with their rosy coloured summits, almost hit the floor. His wrinkled hard was placed on his chest, the area where his heart was placed. Still Moira was far from done. After showing to that hentai old geezer her breasts she lifted her dress to show him her ¡°flower¡± in order to prove her point (as she had previously insinuated to Eric she really didn¡¯t have much to lose in strip-poker, she was going commando). Sirius¡¯s hand that had been seconds ago been placed to his heart, was now clenched into a fist, grabbing his chest as in agonizing pain¡­ A nosebleed had started as soon as he saw her hidden ¡°flower¡± and soon enough Sirius was seen falling back to the ground his last words being : ¡°This old man has seen the light, now he can die a happy man!¡± The perverted old mage was back to the Netherworld! Battle Result Sirius VS Niki and co Winner: K.O. NIKI!!!!! Darius VS Eric and Nico While the aforementioned battles were taking place, Nico had also stepped in to help Eric with his fight against the scimitar yielding Darius. Nico intervened at the right time, that is when Darius was about to cast a fatal blow to Eric¡¯s unguarded abdominal area. Their blades met and sparks could be seen between Nico rapier and Darius scimitar. His timely intervention was able to prevent a severe damage to Eric¡¯s health, yet Darius was a seasoned fighter to let something like this hinder his fight. On the contrary, he seemed completely unaffected by the addition of a second fighter and he was able to hold his ground against both Eric¡¯s and Nico¡¯s combined attacks. Niki who had already won her fight, seeing her hubby and Eric being pushed on a stalemate by Darius neither of the two being able to get the upper hand against the King¡¯s summon decided to help. So she tried to use the same trick that had granted her victory against Sirius, on the manly Darius. She shouted trying to get his attention ¡°Take a look at these (breasts)!¡± Yet Darius¡¯s didn¡¯t even blink after seeing Niki¡¯s stunning assets. He just proudly declared, while exchanging blows with Eric and Nico ¡°Your tricks don¡¯t work on me woman!!!!¡± At that time Harry also appeared to contribute to the fight. He saw Darius¡¯s indifference to Niki¡¯s 36Ds. He had a suspicion all along for Darius, but now was the time to verify it. He sneaked in behind Marion who seemed mesmerized while watching the muscular, tanned swordsman fighting her party¡¯s leader, Eric and he screamed while flipping Marion¡¯s skirt: ¡°Darius, take a look at this!¡± Darius was caught in the flow and he casted a quick glance. Upon seeing Marion¡¯s skirt being flipped as in slow motion and her ¡°hidden treasure¡± enveloped in blue striped panties, being shown in all its glory, his face turned pale white. It was only for a brief second that his guard was let down but it was enough for Eric and Nico to take advantage of it and thrust their swords in his chest. ¡°Bastards!¡± Darius said coughing blood and being drawn back to the Netherworld. In the time it takes an incense stick to burn, all the three battles ended and their participants approached the throne where the Demon General and his superior, King Asmodeus, were seen still talking. King Asmodeus seeing all his summons defeated and being surrounded by the heroes as well as the General and his subordinates, realised that it might prove to be difficult to deal with them all. If this situation had happened before when he was at the pinnacle of his strength he would not even hesitate, he would have no doubts of ending up victorious. Yet, right now¡­. It was a well kept secret. Even the General, one of his most trusted subordinates had no idea of the fact that he the Demon King was suffering of a mysterious and incurable disease. The best healers of the demonic race were summoned but none of the priests and shamans was able to find a cure for it. They informed him that the least they could was to extend his life for a centennial but his strength would continually diminish along with his life span until he died. Sensing his unavoidable death and coming to terms with it Asmodeus only remaining concern was his beloved people. What would happen to the demonic race if he was gone? The constant wars with the humans and elves had caused so much pain to his people. The demons lost their brothers, mothers, children in this never ending bloodshed. There was so much hatred from both sides. He also in the past believed that the only way to solve this was through conquest, but eons of battles with neither side coming up victorious proved him wrong. Only pain and suffer came up from it. Yet, after learning that he soon was to die Asmodeus realized that something had to change, the war was causing so much pain to all. So, he left the capital of the Demonic Kingdom, Villainia and his palace entrusting to his most loyal of councillors the task of dealing with the Kindom¡¯s affairs and giving them the specific of order ceasing all act of hostility towards their enemies. He send his messengers to the three corners of Gaia along with the prisoners of each race that he released as an act of good will to the south to the human Kingdom Aeterna, to the east to the Elven Kindom Selenia and to the west to the Dwarven Kingdom Hammerlin, inviting the rulers of each race to come and meet at Mount Athos in order to sign the treaty. The mount Athos was chosen as it was in the south borders of the demonic kingdom close to all the other kingdoms and it could almost be considered as a neutral place. Years and years he¡¯d been waiting with his life force extinguishing day by day. 50 years ago the humans sent a party ¡­.he hoped then that they might be ambassadors. Alas it wasn¡¯t so. Good thing he had the General here so that he could stop any attacks against him thus enabling him to save up on his strength and extend his limited life span. Yet, now it seemed that even the General¡­. Right now he didn¡¯t have much force left in his old body. 10 years was the most he could expect to live. He could probably deal with the heroes fairly easy, judging from before but the General? He was aware of his power and he wasn¡¯t quite sure if he could take him down. Seeing that the General didn¡¯t attack him already it seemed that that guy still had some feelings of loyalty towards him. Asmodeus sighed. ¡° So what now General? Do you also wish to kill me? Did you decide to side up with the humans who charged here wanting to end up my life when the only wish I have is for peace and even sent to their leaders invitations to meet me here to sign a treaty?¡± ¡°I ask you Hitoshi whose side will you take?¡± Chapter 18: Decisions, decisions... This chapter is the end of volume 1. If you like the story leave some comments. Even a thanks for the chapter would be great if you liked it. Chapter 18: Decisions, decisions¡­ ¡°I ask you Hitoshi whose side will you take?¡± The Demon¡¯s King question caused Hitoshi to furrow his brows in deep thought, his heart was thrown in turmoil. He was someone who was transferred in this world without his own will. He didn¡¯t know anything of this world when he was transferred here. The real demon¡¯s general memories of this world were gone as soon as he occupied his body. About the feud among the races he didn¡¯t know either. He didn¡¯t take the time to learn anything, how foolish of him. But now, he was pressed to make a decision¡­ He learned after talking to Sachiko that the way the demonic race was treated in this world was how he was treated in his previous life. They were treated like scary existences, like monsters, like him. The humans and elves couldn¡¯t see past their appearance that was different from their own and denied their existence. But in the demonic race he¡­he had found acceptance. Despite how scary his face was looking, he had respect and people that cared for him. He had found people that considered him a friend and were willing to risk their lives for him. Nico, Niki and ¡­.even Harry (he could be considered like the little brother that everyone wished they never had), they were like a family to him. From them he felt the warmth and love that he only did when his parents were alive. They were willing to follow him here no matter the danger and the consequences. They belonged to the demonic race that¡¯s for sure and yet they were more human than the humans in his previous life ever were. No matter the decision he took they had already made it clear to him that they would follow him no matter what. So, could he decide to take the humans¡¯ side, slay the demon king who just wanted peace thus condemning the only people that cared for him in a life of being looked as traitors and hunted down by their own race? For what? For his foolish one-sided crush with Sachiko, a human priestess that looked down on demons? Shaking his head he mentally said to himself: ¡°No way in hell!¡± But¡­he was human in his previous life and in the end he was still human in soul. No one knew about that except her. Ah her! Could he raise his hand and harm her according to the King¡¯s orders? Taking his side meant that he would have to follow his King¡¯s orders and that he would have to kill the heroes that threatened his life. He would have to turn his back to what he once was, to humanity. That also included her. She clearly rejected him, calling him crazy, saying there was no chance that anything could happen between them. He loathed her reasoning, but so what? That¡¯s what she was taught since birth after all. Would killing her and all her companions change anything? The answer was clearly no. Killing them wouldn¡¯t solve anything. It wouldn¡¯t make Asmodeus¡¯s wish for peace between the races be fulfilled, only his current anger would be satisfied. On the contrary, it would just make things worse. The heroes¡¯ party consisted of people with noble background, as Harry had informed him. Would the human kingdom stay calm after news of the death of the most prominent in their young generation came? No, it would only bring grief to their parents, then their wrath would unleash, a new war would break and people from both sides would lose their lives and the ones remaining would suffer. How would that be any good? He understood the Demon King¡¯s anger. He truly did. He himself might also act that way and wish for his enemies¡¯ death if he were in his shoes. But now that was not the right way to act. Asmodeus, himself¡­.the demonic race had a way to prove to the rest of races that they were not what they thought of them to be and this had to be¡­ Asmodeus seeing Hitoshi¡¯s eyes light up seemed to realize that his General finally reached a decision. What that might be though, he himself didn¡¯t have the slightest idea. Yet one thing was for sure, if Hitoshi decided to side with the humans and betray him, even if it was the last thing he would ever do, he would make sure he paid for it. The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident. ¡°So what is your answer Hitoshi?¡± ¡°Right or wrong King only fate will prove it. I will not kill the humans that attacked you¡­¡± he said before being interrupted by an angry Asmodeus. ¡°Then you dare take their side?¡± the Demon King yelled. ¡°I am not done speaking!¡± Hitoshi roared with a voice that left no room for objections and quickly continued ¡°But I will fulfil your wish for peace. I also wish for peace. The day when humans and demons can walk side by side is also my dream.¡± (This sentence said while looking at Sachiko who upon meeting his gaze turned her face in awkwardness. After his confession, she¡­. ) ¡°If the human King doesn¡¯t come to meet you King, then we will go to meet him and see what he has to say! Why does he keep sending heroes to kill you when you offered peace?¡± ¡°Maybe he thought the whole peace treaty meeting here was a trap laid by you? Maybe for reasons unknown to us he didn¡¯t ever receive the message you sent? Either way, even if it is the last thing I do for you King, I will accompany you to the Human Kingdom so you can finally have the answer you seeked for. If it¡¯s war or peace let¡¯s hear it from his own lips and then let¡¯s act.¡± ¡°So, let¡¯s head with the heroes back to the human kingdom, King!¡± ¡°Are you out of your mind?¡± Eric from the heroes party and the King shouted at the same time. ¡°You think we would lead you two to our King so you could kill him?¡± Eric yelled. ¡°Do you think we could come and go to the Human Kingdom as we please? The humans will kill us on sight!¡± the king yelled. ¡°Don¡¯t worry King that¡¯s what these guys are needed for after all. Being with them we will have a free pass to anywhere we want to go. Getting into the palace will be no problem.¡± ¡°Ha, you think that we would actually accept to guide you there? Peace my ass! You guys only intend to kill our King. Like hell will we guide you there!¡± Eric declared. The rest of the heroes also agreed with Eric¡¯s reasoning. They were not entirely convinced that the Demon King wanted peace and that he and the General wouldn¡¯t take advantage of their entry in the palace to kill the human King. After all, the idea of all demon¡¯s being evil, cunning and deceitful beings was nurtured into them since birth. How could they accept so easily that the demons seeked peace with them? ¡°Oh, I don¡¯t think you understand the situation well heroes. It¡¯s either you do it or you¡¯re done.¡± Hitoshi said with a smirk on his face. ¡°But you said you wouldn¡¯t kill us¡± bitched Marion. ¡°I don¡¯t remember ever giving this promise to you. My talk was only with the Demon King. Sure I said that I wouldn¡¯t kill you while talking to him but you should also be aware that sometimes even death is better than being alive.¡± ¡°What¡­what do you mean?¡± asked Eric, even though he was aware that the answer would not be something anyone of them would like to hear. ¡°Since you were so kind to ask, I will tell you great Hero!¡± Hitoshi replied with a smile on his face making him look sinister. ¡°Cutting your ¡°mighty sword¡± wouldn¡¯t make you lose your life and from what my friend here told me it wouldn¡¯t even be considered as a great loss since it appears to be small and breaks easily? Hmm, but I guess that for you it doesn¡¯t mean that you wouldn¡¯t be miss it dearly.¡± Eric¡¯s face changed a million colours from white to red, from red to purple¡­. Realization came when he understood the meaning behind the words friend as Hitoshi looked at his chubby eyeglassed subordinate. ¡°You ¡­(finger pointing at Harry) you¡­ Heidi?¡± ¡°Yes, daddy?¡± Harry replied with a fake childish feminine voice. The Demon King just stood there confused. What was happening? Unable to hold his curiosity he asked ¡°What¡¯s going on General? Who¡¯s Heidi?¡± ¡°Now, now King¡­ don¡¯t be hasty we have the whole trip to discuss this. Let¡¯s start packing. We have a long way ahead of us.¡±
