  Day 11 Water Month

  Today is officially our first day staying in the Demon Realm. We’re staying in this luxurious, fairly rge and famous inn near the World Tree.

  According to the locals, apparently it got famous because it was rumored that this inn was built for a certain otherworlder for a visit with his lovers.

  …There’s no need to expin that We all know who this otherworlder is…

  …there’s also no need to expin why this pce is most certainly built for this certain otherworlder…

  “Yue-san! Good morning desu!” (Shia)

  “...Good morning Shia. By the way, how’s the “onsen”?” (Yue)

  “Oh! It was silky smooth with the extra milk! And it also makes my hair and rabbit hair fluffy desu!” (Shia)

  Nn, this inn is not a normal inn, rather it’s one of those “Onsen Inn” or Ryokan that are popur in Japan, or at least Japan in Hajime’s homeworld and I presume it’s the same for Kaito-san’s homeworld too. Hell, we stayed in a Ryokan when we had a field trip to Kyoto and this inn almost looked like an exact replica of it including the ping pong table, indoor bath, yukata and even a shishi-odoshi which are supposed to be a security device according to the staff’s expnations.

  “Ah Hajime-san! Remia-san! Good morning desu! How’s the footbath?” (Shia)

  “Well it was good, but I still can’t get over the scenery.” (Hajime)

  “Yeah, it’s still at the start of the year right? And yet the scenery looks like it’s already Autumn.” (Remia)

  Nn, not only the inn, the scenery also looked like Autumn, a perfect scenery for an Onsen Inn. Seriously, this pce screamed Onsen Inn so much that it feels like we’re back at Hajime’s homeworld in Kyoto.

  Or rather, who the hell made this Onsen Inn? The trees outside are Maple trees and Gingko trees with the leaves that turned into a beautiful red color. It just feels surreal.

  “...Anyway, where’s the other?” (Yue)

  “Tio’s with Aiko and Myuu pying ping pong, while Shizuku and Kaori are still in the footbath with Amanogawa. Anyway, let’s see where we want to go with this.” (Hajime)

  As Hajime says this, he pulled out a guide book titled “Demon Realm Guidebook for Otherworlder aka Dummies!” that expins short but quite detailed expnations about the Demon Realm alongside the tourism spot. It was well made because Alice-san made it.

  Speaking of which, there are apparently star symbols scattered throughout the Demon Realm map, we have no idea what that is so we’ll just ignore it for now.

  Incidentally, Alice-san said that she made the book for all of us and pnned to charge us with an exorbitant amount of money which Kaito-san bought for us. Thank you very much Kaito-san.

  Anyway, as Hajime pulled out the guidebook, we then pondered where we should visit first.

  “How about the eastern region? It says here that there’s a bunch of kes there so it’s perfect for a picnic.” (Hajime)

  “Muuu, I want to visit the western region to have a rematch with Megiddo-san desu!” (Shia)

  “...I kinda want to visit Isis-san’s pce though. Apparently there’s a blue crystal flower garden there so me and Hajime can have a romantic photoshoot there.” (Yue)

  “Ou, let’s visit her first then.” (Hajime)

  “Ah Hajime-san! You’re doting on Yue-san again!” (Shia)

  “Ara~ I want to explore this city more though~” (Remia)

  As we’re still discussing where we should visit first, Tio, Aiko and Myuu came towards us with Myuu energetically waving at us, so cute.

  “Ah! Papa! Mama! Onee-chan! Good Morning Nano!” (Myuu)

  “Good Morning everyone, Goshujin-sama.” (Tio)

  “Good Morning Tio, Myuu. By the way, where's Aiko?” (Hajime)

  “Aiko is giving the students some directory about the guidebook. I see that all of thee art still discussing our visitation.” (Tio)

  “Then, where did you want to go Tio?” (Hajime)

  “Hmm? Ah, let’s see…” (Tio)

  As Tio looked at the guidebook with a wandering gaze, she then pced a finger on an article.

  “How about this one? The southern region of the Demon Realm?” (Tio)

  “Southern region huh? I believe this is the mountain range area so it’s home to many dragon species according to this guidebook. You’re interested in the Dragon huh TIo?’ (Hajime)

  “Yes Goshujin-sama, but I’m actually more interested in this individual called “the Dragon King”. I heard that he’s a wise king even amongst the Six Kings.” (Tio)

  “...” (Everyone)

  Hmm, it seems like Tio is interested in meeting this so-called Dragon King who is the st among the Six Kings that we haven’t met yet. Now that I think about it, Tio hasn’t asked for anything when we’re here in Trinia huh.

  “...Well why don’t we prepare ourselves to go there then?” (Yue)

  “Ou, let’s ask Kaito and the Phantasmal King to be our guide too.” (Hajime)

  “Eh? Is that okay?’ (Tio)

  “Yes desu! After all, Tio-san hasn’t asked for anything right? Might as well meet with all of the Six Kings, I’m also interested in the Dragon King desu!” (Shia)

  “Ara~ Tio-san asked for a request is indeed rare so I think it’s fine~” (Remia)

  “I see… I thank thee for the consideration.” (Tio)

  Nn, just like Shia said, since Tio rarely asks for anything “normal”, we might as well give Tio what she wants.

  …yes, if only she asks for anything “normal”...

  Anyway, I’m also interested in this Dragon King, apparently he’s the biggest organism in this world and it was said that his physique is bigger than a mountain. While our biggest being that we fought is the “Dragon” that impersonates Japan, it’s an apparition so it’s not exactly an organism so we’re pretty interested in this being.

  Oh? Tio? Are you blushing~? Are you blushing that we took such care towards your request~?

  Fufufu, this will also be a great teasing material~

  .

  .

  .

  Several hours ter, we finally arrived at the southern region using the teleportation gates that are spread across the Demon Realm. After we arrived, we stepped out from the teleportation room to see the surroundings.

  The scenery are just as expected from the description, there are many steep mountain range, some of them are even bigger than God’s Mountain in Tortus, although it was said that it’s mostly steep mountain ranges and wastends, there are vegetations at the base of the mountains with many dragons species here plus people who I presume are tourist are bustling here.

  “Alright! Welcome to the southern region of the Demon Realm everyone! Here are home to most of the monsters! It’s also the region where the Dragon King, Magnawell Baskus Lardo Kurtzvald, rules so there are many dragon species living here! There are also many merchandise made by dragon’s scale so look forward to Alice-chan’s sho—MIGYAAAAHHH!!??” (Alice)

  “Can you not promote your merchandise so nonchantly?” (Kaito)

  …And there’s Alice-san who’s trying to rip off our money again, she really never changes…

  By the way, all of the cssmates plus Remia, Myuu and Aiko decided to roam Yggfresis since they didn’t find the southern region interesting so it’s only us the Nagumo household with the extra Kaori and Shizuku here.

  “So, we’re waiting for someone?” (Hajime)

  “Well not quite, since I already called him that we’re visiting and—Oya? He came?” (Kaito)

  As Kaito-san was still answering Hajime’s question, all of the sudden he looked at his side, and as we moved our gaze to the same direction, we saw a person.

  This person is over 190 cm tall . He has a white beard and wears a light coat over a suit-like shirt with a hat that is the same color as his coat. At a gnce, he looked like a fine gentleman.

  But his magic power… it was tremendous, almost the same as Lillywood-san. Could it be?

  “Hey Kaito, is that the person you’re talking about?” (Hajime)

  “Erm, yes. Everyone, this is Magnawell-san, You all already knew about him. He’s Magnawell Baskus Lardo Kurtzvald, the Dragon King.”

  “Hello everyone, it’s a pleasure to meet with all of you, and it's been a long time, Miyama Kaito.” (Magnawell)

  Heeee, so he is Magnawell the Dragon King-san isn't he? From the way he takes his hat out and greets us he seems like a pleasant old gentleman.

  “Hello Magnawell-san, I honestly am a bit surprised that you came here by yourself.” (Kaito)

  “Fuhaha, I apologize for the sudden visitation but I’m interested in the otherworlder, especially when you and Fafnir said that there is also a fellow dragon that was caught in the hero summoning so it piqued my curiosity.” (Magnawell)

  As Kaito-san converse with Magnawell-san, he then turns his gaze towards us, or rather, towards Tio.

  “And you are the rumored “Dragonmen”, correct?” (Magnawell)

  “Yes, my name is Tio Krus, the Dragonmen that thee heard from Kaito-dono and Fafnir-dono. It is a pleasure to meet thee.” (Tio)

  “Fuhaha, looks like the otherworld dragon also has intellect and common sense. Umu, nice to hear that.” (Magnawell)

  Nonono Magnawell-san, sure the other Dragonmen are wonderful and all but Tio is far from common sense in all kinds of sense, especially her mental state.Oops, Tio suddenly gred at me, best to drop this.

  Anyway, as we all introduced ourselves, Magnawell then asked us whether we want to see his “true form” since apparently in this form right now it’s like a golem so this body is not exactly his main body, which we say yes to.

  “So it’s not a loli or a woman with a busty chest trope huh.” (Hajime)

  “Did you say anything?” (Magnawell)

  “Nothing, nothing at all.” (Hajime)

  .

  .

  .

  About half an hour ter, we finally arrived in the middle of the southern region. As we went sightseeing earlier, we met with many kinds of dragons. There is this dragon with rock-like skin called Gun Rock Dragon, a green colored dragon called Tempest Dragon, Sea Dragon, and many more.

  Nn, it reminded me again that there are many types of dragon here as opposed to in Tortus where most dragon shapes are almost the same.

  …Apparently there’s also a species of dragon that makes Hajime screech in terror, he even chants something like “STOP BOMBING ME YOU F*CKEEEEEER!” or “WHY ARE YOU EVERYWHERE I GOOOOOO!!!!!???? F*CK YOOOOOUUUUUU B****GEUUUUUUUSE!!!!!!” or “KILL! KILL! KILL ALL T******D B****GEUSE! KIIIEEEEEHHHHHH!!!!” or something simir as he tried to pull out his guns to shoot them all down when we pass by this specific species of dragon, it almost feels like he’s traumatized by it so we need to calm him down pretty often.

  But never mind that, after we arrived at the top of a random mountain, we began to question where Magnawell-san's main body is and he only say to wait here as he disappeared.

  Though honestly, I don’t think it’ll be that grand. I thought it’ll be like a thousand meters tall at best or something. I dunno what I’m expecting to be honest.

  Until…

  GUOOOOOOOHHH!!!!

  All of the sudden, a loud noise came from our east side, from there, we saw something that is out of this world.

  “Oi oi oi, is that whole godd*mn mountain his main body?” (Hajime)

  “It’s not just his main body you know? That mountain you’re all seeing right now is only “his head”.” (Alice)

  “Eh?” (Everyone except Kaito)

  As we’re still processing the fact that the mountain we’re seeing right now is just Magnawell-san’s main body’s head, all of the sudden, massive earthquakes generated and strong wind blowed from our east side.

  And it didn’t stop there…

  GUOOOOOOOOOHHHH!!!!!!

  Earth rumbled as it felt the presence of a gigantic being awakened from its slumber, and after it stopped, we then saw a being that is out of common sense moving towards us.

  This being is question cannot be only called big, it was so rge that terrains change just from it wake up. Its legs are so wide it’s practically a pilr made out of stones. It was also taller than Mount Fuji, it was so rge it’s practically a mountain range, and said “mountain” is walking towards us with earth shattering steps. As it stops within a reasonable range, we can all see…

  That this being… is truly… the rgest being in this world… The Dragon King itself.

  [...Once again, my name is Magnawell Baskus Lardo Kurtzvald, The Dragon King. it’s a pleasure to be your acquaintance.] (Magnawell)

  Suddenly, a strong gust of wind blew and the air pressure trembled as the being, Magnawell-san, spoke to us with a tone and aura befitting of the King of Monster it makes us awestruck.

  “Hah, the other world is truly out of this world huh.” (Hajime)

  “You can tell me about it, when I met with Magnawell-san for the first time I thought a mountain was moving towards me.” (Kaito)

  Nonono, Kaito-san you actually met him like this? I wondered if this dude has nerves of a really hard steel.

  But we’re not the only one that felt awestruck by Magnawell-san’s main body appearance.

  “...I see, thou are indeed, a being befitting the title of the King of Dragons.” (Tio)

  [Fuhaha, I’m grateful for your praise.] (Magnawell)

  “I was expecting something like Helmut or the Leviathan but it was something much more grand. Umu, the world is truly vast.” (Tio)

  Nn, I never met both of these Helmut and the Leviathan but according to Hajime, both of them are a pretty powerful and gigantic being that can give him some trouble but apparently Magnawell-san is much much much more powerful and bigger than them.

  I mean, he seriously can change the whole terrain by breathing, he’s so big it’s absurd.

  Still feeling awe from Magnawell-san’s main body, he then suggest us to climb on to the top of his head so that we can converse well from there, to which we abide.

  And so, we all teleported to the top of his forehead and admired our surroundings that were above the clouds and stretched into the horizons with thousands of mountain’s peak below us.

  [So how’s the Demon Realm? It’s the first time you all visit the Demon Realm isn’t it?] (Magnawell)

  “It was a peaceful and beautiful pce, contrary to the name.” (Hajime)

  [Fuhaha, I see that you also thought of that like any other otherworlders. Well you see, about 20 thousand years ago, this area used to be…] (Magnawell)

  Nn? Is it just me that I feel like this pattern will lead us to a scenario like an old veteran telling his stories of his youth or something.

  When I, or we, the Nagumo household take a gnce towards Kaito-san and Alice-san, they can only nod with a wry smile.

  Yep, it’ll definitely go that way.

  .

  .

  .

  Several hours of long boring storytelling about this nd ter, Magnawell-san finally finished, and I’m pretty shocked that all of us, mainly Kaori, are still awake listening to his boring story.

  Finally! Can we please go around and do more sightseeing now!? I’m already at my wits end trying to keep myself awake here! Shia, Shizuku, Kaori and Hajime may be fine because they already experience this and listen to grandpa Magnawell with all their might but me, the Vampire Princess, is not pleased with this long boring storytelling you know!?

  Of course this masochistic bck dragon here is weirdly serious about it and interested in hearing about the history of the Demon Realm so she kept asking questions and prolonged the story.

  “I thank thee for your wonderful knowledge, although I hath a request if you doth not mind.” (Tio)

  [Umu, the pleasure is mine, and what could this request be?] (Magnawell)

  For a second I thought Tio is gonna ask for more boring sessions of storytelling again but judging from her expression I think it’s more serious than that.

  “Can I have a light spar with thee?” (Tio)

  For some weird reason, Tio asked Magnawell-san for a “light spar”. Eh? Am I hearing things? Judging from the Nagumo household plus Kaito-san and Alice-san’s expressions I don’t think so.

  Tio-san, Krus-san, are you seriously going to fall towards Shia’s path? I never thought you were pretty hot blooded like that!

  Although, there are probably more reasons for this.

  [Umu, a light spar is it? For what purpose exactly?] (Magnawell)

  “I wanted to know how far I have cometh. In my world, I was regarded as one of the strongest… But not here. Here, I have found many, many beings that are so beyond myself that I felt like an ant in front of a mighty tiger. And so, I wished to evaluate my own strength once more.” (Tio)

  Nn, I see, it looks Tio was a bit peeved that we’re being reminded many times that we’re not the strongest here, which means that if we’re in any danger in any means, we’ll be in real trouble, and if we need to fight against them, chances are that they will wipe us out pretty easily.

  Well we hope that day won’t happen but you will never know what the future holds.

  [Umu, I heard that you all would be in quite a dangerous situation if not for Miyama Kaito’s interference. I see, so you wished to see your strength compared to the residents here?] (Magnawell)

  “That’s the gist of it, I wished to evaluate my strength here once more, may I humbly request you for it?” (Tio)

  [Hmm, I will accept it with one condition, that is we both will give each other one blow with all of our might. Also, the nd here will be devastated if we fight here so can you make the barrier Shalltear?] (Magnawell)

  “Yes yes, I’m pretty surprised that this level headed masochist is quite serious. Haah, alright.” (Alice)

  And so, as Magnawell-san accepted Tio’s request, Alice-san then created the same rge-scale spatial barrier that she cast when Shia fought Megiddo-san again. This time though, it covers a very rge area that Magnawell-san can fit into.

  As Alice-san finishes casting it, Tio and Hajime fly towards Magnawell-san’s front about 2 kilometers away, seemingly preparing for something big.

  …And I can guess that “something big” is a thing that Hajime reaaaaaaally reluctant to do judging from his expression.

  And Tio’s face looks so sloven that she almost drools and causes a mess, yep there’s gonna be a catch to this for sure.

  I heard from Hajime and Shia that Tio unlocked a second form that can give her immense strength when they fought Ehit before but according to them, the setup is tedious. Well, they also said that the preparation now is a lot easier than before but it still needs to be prepared beforehand. I have never seen it so I’m pretty curious about that.

  Oh? Looks like the preparation is about to start. Nn? Why did Hajime carry Tio as if she was a barrel? Wait, why does his hand have a tube? Hmm, judging from the color of the liquid, it looks like the Cheatmate Mon E* edition Hajime secretly gave me before.

  Nn? NNNNN!!??

  WHY HAJIME TOOK TIO’S SKIRT UP AND REVEAL HER BUTT!!??

  No way Norway!!?? Is this what I think it is!!??

  *BICHI?

  “AAAAHHHNNNN???~~~” (Tio)

  To our horror, as my, or rather, the wifie~s bad premonition came to prediction, Hajime mercilessly plow the Mon E*-filled tube into Tio’s butt! And he even mercilessly twirls the tube around!

  “ORA ORA! IS THAT ALL YOU GOT YOU F*CKING MASOCHISTIC HOPELESS BLACK DRAGON!!?” (Hajime)

  “AHEEE?~ HIT ME MOOOOOREEEE!!!” (Tio)

  “I sacrificed my mental state because of you so cherish this moment while you still can! You hopeless dragon!” (Hajime)

  “AHEEE?~ GIVE ME MOOOOOORRREEEEE!!??” (Tio)

  As Hajime mercilessly recreate Tio’s encounter in front of us while abandoning his sense of shame with Tio on his shoulder with an extremely perverted face, Kaito-san and Alice-san can only gaze with shock towards their antics while, well, I can’t say for sure since we’re on Magnawell-san’s head right now but I’m also sure that he’s in a huge shock too.

  I mean anyone will be shocked if there’s an unexpected a*** py in front of them!!!

  But the show didn’t stop there as Hajime pulled out a big bck colored whip as she grabbed Tio’s feet and dangled her with her butt facing him.

  …I remembered Tio mentioned about her weapon is a bck whip called “Obsidian Dominator” that allow her to turn monsters into miniature bck dragons that she can command at will before, Of course it was imbued with various Ancient Magics so it was also deadly. I saw said whip before too and the whip Hajime pulled out has a different design on it.

  …No way, is this what I think it is!? Before I can even answer my own question, the answer is already unfolding right in front of our eyes.

  WHACK?!

  “AAAAHHHNNNN???~~~” (Tio)

  “C’MON! MOAN MORE YOU HOPELESS MASOCHIST!” (Hajime)

  “AAAAHHHNNNN?! YES?! MOOORREEE?!” (Tio)

  …It seems like the previous butt plug show was not enough for both of them as Hajime started to whip Tio’s bare butt in front of us. With the plug in her butt still!

  We’re way beyond shocked and horrified at the scene that was unfolding in front of us.

  A wild white haired man with a mechanical arm and an eyepatch with a really demeaning look are whipping a beautiful woman with a bombastic figure‘s ass while demanding more screams from her, with the plug still! With the plug still!!! I said it twice because it’s important! With the plug still!

  “Alright that’s all for today.” (Hajime)

  As Hajime mutters those words like an employee who finished his work for today, he then lets go of Tio carelessly as she falls towards the ground. He flies back to Magnawell-san’s head as if nothing ever happened.

  Incidentally, there’s a loud thud coming from the pce where Tio is supposed to fall. Coincidentally I also heard a moaning sound of a disappointing bck dragon but it’s probably the sound of a wind blowing.

  “Um, Hajime-san, what’s that abo—” (Shia)

  “What are you talking about Shia? Clearly I’ve been by all of your side this whole time.” (Hajime)

  “Eh? Hajime-kun, what are yo—” (Kaori)

  “Ah? What about it, Kaori? Is there something on my face?” (Hajime)

  “Nonono!? What’s with that show with Tio before?!” (Shizuku)

  “What are you talking about Shizuku? What about Tio? Now that you said it, where’s she?” (Hajime)

  Uwaaa… we all said that as we realized Hajime is giving his all to pretend that everything that transpired never happened by feigning ignorance, he even looked around to check for Tio.

  [Umu, it was really shocking to see. I see, so this is what you like Shall—] (Magnawell)

  “Say more words and I’ll turn you into minced meat, you overgrown lizard.” (Alice)

  …I think I just heard an absurd cim from Magnawell-san before he got threatened by Alice-san.

  Alice-san… so you’re also…

  “Ah? What are you all looking at?” (Alice)

  As Alice-san asks us with a tone like Hajime when he’s in his Demon King mode, we all immediately look away feigning ignorance just like Hajime.

  As I take a small peek towards Alice-san, her pupil shrinks into a small dot while she smiles like a much scarier Hannya with a reaaaaaaally terrifying aura.

  Yep, scary, let’s ignore her and hope that she won’t start pnning anything.

  “Heh, what Kaito? We’re actually alike huh?” (Hajime)

  “LALALALALALALA! I DIDN’T HEAR AAAAANYTHIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!” (Kaito)

  …For some reason Hajime said those words as if he truly found a comrade that he can finally rete to with an enlightened expression, Kaito-san immediately looked away feigning ignorance just like Hajime.

  Kaito-san… so you’re also…

  Muu! It’s too awkward! Someone! Anyone! Please break the silence!

  GURYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

  As if to answer my prayer, a loud roar came from the spot where Tio fell, and from there, a rge jet bck colored magic aura pilr burst out from the forest. After the magic power dissipated, a being came out.

  Said being is like a Dragon from Eastern Mythology, a majestic long serpent-like dragon with horns and whiskers alongside beautiful jet bck colored scales. This dragon is covered with fire and lightning, making it more imposing.

  GURYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

  As the Dragon roars, the sky turns bck with the dark light and covers it with seas of fmes and lighting, as if the sky welcomes the advent of a Dragon God.

  I see. So this is Tio’s special magic that she often talks about. The very form that can strike fear towards many beings who take a gnce upon it. A form befitting a Dragon God.

  Although… even though Tio in this form is much bigger than her usual Dragon form. It’s still fall short compared to Magnawell-san’s main body .

  [Fuhaha! I see! This is what I’m seeing with my own eyes. The strength that y dormant in you takes form right in front of me after you go through trials after trials, truly beautiful.]

  [I thank thee for the honest praise, now then, are you ready?] (Tio)

  [Umu, then…] (Magnawell)

  As Magnawell-san gives Alice-san the signal, she then gives an okay sign to him. And suddenly…

  GUOOOOOOOOOO!!!

  Ground shook even harder than before, as if it knew that two outrageous beings would be fighting against each other at any moment.

  “Oi oi, what about us?” (Hajime)

  “Oops, forgot about that.” (Alice)

  As Alice-san mutters those words, she then teleports us to the sky where we can spectate the spar. Upon closer looks, Tio’s bck sky covers about 5 kilometers, and yet it didn’t cover even a quarter of Magnawell-san’s body. He is truly outrageous, much like Tio.

  [Then, you go first.] (Magnawell)

  As Magnawell-san gives Tio the right to strike first, Tio grinned and roared once again. This time though, the fmes and lightning that gathered and the tornado strike towards Magnawell as if the sky fell.

  Tio didn’t stop there as she gave her all to her next attack, which was her breath.

  ZUDOOOOOOON!!!

  As she finishes charging up her breath, Tio unleashes a jet bck ser-like breath right towards Magnawell-san’s head. She continuously attacks Magnawell-san with all her might.

  Loud noises are generated from said attack that even I’m not confident that I can take that attack head on.

  And yet…

  [Guh…] (Tio)

  [Umu, all of those are good attacks. If I can estimate, your strength just now is capable of taking down Peak Count Ranked Demon.] (Magnawell)

  [I was hoping that I can at least harm thee, but not even a scratch huh?] (Tio)

  [Now then, it’s my turn.] (Magnawell)

  As Magnawell-san announces his moves, the sky rumbles as if it tried to run away from him. The air even gets hotter even though we’re tens of kilometers away from the fight as his mouth is bzing with fire. Even we, the spectator, know that his attack will be lethal.

  And all of the sudden…

  GUOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!!!

  The whole scenery… shined bright white.

  “Tio!” (Kaori)

  “Hey hey, don't leave this barrier okay? If not you will be vaporized by his breath you know? Don’t worry about your friend there, I already pced countermeasures.” (Alice)

  To think that Magnawell-san’s breath attack will have such a wide range that it can affect us here. I guess it’s to be expected of a mountain-sized being.

  A few moments ter, Magnawell-san’s breath attack dissipates. The sky turned back to normal with no clouds on sight and the mountain ranges in front of Magnawell-san are gone, leaving only craters of its breath attack’s destruction.

  In the middle of the crater, there’s a tattered Tio, the majestic feeling from her are gone as her fme and lightning dissipates and her beautiful scales are also tattered from protecting her from the King of Monster’s attack.

  “...I see, so this is the extent of my strength.” (Tio)

  As Tio said this, she turned back to her human form with her tattered but intact kimono, and hopefully without the plug…

  [Fuhaha, don’t worry about it. If you’re the residents here I would ask you to be one of my executives, that’s how powerful you are] (Magnawell)

  “I see, I thank thee for the consideration but I’m already part of the Nagumo household.” (Tio)

  [Fuhaha, I understand. Now then, Shalltear, sorry about this but please fix this mess.] (Magnawell)

  “Yes yes, there’s a weird influx of hot headed people tely so I’ve been busy but sure.” (Alice)

  As Alice-san snapped her finger, the scenery returned to normal as if the destruction before was all an illusion, Tio’s injured body also reverted back to normal.

  “Anyhow, once again I thank thee for accepting my request.” (Tio)

  [Umu, I don’t mind it, now that you and I know the extent of your power, I’m also satisfied. I hope we all can maintain a good retionship with each other in the future.] (Magnawell)

  “Likewise, I hope we can maintain a good connection.” (Tio)

  Nn, looks like both Tio and Magnawell-san are satisfied with the outcome as they formed a friendly retion with each other. The air around them also feels majestic.

  …If only the incident before didn’t happen…

  Anyway, we decided to say goodbye to Magnawell-san and decided to visit the nearby town to sightsee while buying souvenirs for everyone back at Yggfresis.

  .

  .

  .

  Day 12 Water Month

  Today we decided to stay at the inn in Yggfresis as the cssmates all went around the Demon Realm for entertainment, most of them went to the Eastern Region as there are many tourist spots there while some still want to go around Yggfresis.

  Incidentally, when I told Isis-san that we’re visiting tomorrow, she got so excited and told us that she will be preparing rooms for us in case we’re staying. She also said that all of the cssmates are welcome to visit there in case they’re interested. She sounds so excited that we’re visiting her home judging from the letter and from what Kaito-san is saying.

  …What is this cute creature. She’s so precious, she makes me want to protect her at all costs.

  Anyway, since we arrived back at the inn a bit te yesterday, all of the cssmates have taken a bath in the onsen. Therefore it’s a perfect time to take a lovely bath with Hajime in the onsen!

  Now, I already did this multiple times when me and Hajime stayed in Orcus’ hideout and back in Hajime’s world before, but since we’re doing this in Trinia, it’ll bring in fresh experience. That’s why I shall be the one that will take a bath with Hajime in the onsen!

  Unfortunately the Wifie~s have the same idea, and we fight to gain our spot next to Hajime in the onsen.

  Well it’s mainly between me and Kaori as she tries to trip me over and use Godspeed while I use Heaven Existence to teleport her back to her room.

  Anyway it turned into a scuffle, and so Hajime hit both of us in our heads again and took Myuu with him to the onsen.

  Well the onsen is big anyway so we all just went in together in the end. Though we still pyed around in the onsen for too long and we got reprimanded by the staff for pying too much.

  Oh well, today I will be the one next to Hajime in the onsen!

  …Is what I thought but…

  “Hey Shizuku-san, what do you think desu?” (Shia)

  “I still can’t get over the fact that the inn theme changed into a Victorian style inn overnight like that. I mean I didn’t even hear anything, how about you Kaori?” (Shizuku)

  “Unn, I didn’t feel any movement at all, I think the inn changed itself automatically. The staff also changed their attire into a maid-like outfit. The food, the music, everything is so different, it's surreal.” (Kaori)

  Nn, apparently when we’re sleeping the theme of this inn changed overnight from Japanese Onsen theme to Victorian style inn. That means the room, the corridor, the bedding, even the food served and the staff attire are different, it’s like a completely new experience all over again.

  Of course the cssmates are all shocked that the theme changes drastically. We almost thought we’re being kidnapped like me and Hajime before but the staff stationed near the room gave us guidance that the theme of the inn will change randomly each night in order to bring new experiences each day.

  This is some seriously high css inn, and since this inn was made for a certain otherworlder, then there’s no doubt that a certain Phantom girl built this.

  Well, since the inn changes its theme everyday, I can only hope the Japanese onsen came up again so that my overdue bath together with Hajime can come to realization!

  Anyway, since we’re staying at the inn this time mainly to restore our sanity after the incident yesterday, we decided to go out to shop and prepare for our visit to Isis-san’s home tomorrow, and we’re definitely going to stay there for more than 1 night, definitely.

  As we’re back to the inn from shopping for necessities, in the hall we saw Lillywood-san, Hajime, Alice-san and Etemp-san looking at something.

  Nn, what an odd group pairing, I wonder what they are doing.

  “Hajime-san! Lillywood-san! Alice-san! Etemp-san! What are you all doing here desu?” (Shia)

  “Oh Shia, you all back from shopping?” (Hajime)

  “Yes! We already gathered all of the things we… need?” (Shia)

  As Shia got closer towards them, she then saw something that shouldn’t be there, or rather, we all saw the blinking light coming at the center and we already knew what they’re looking at.

  “Hey Hajime-kun, is that what I think it is? Is that Kouki-kun’s sword?” (Kaori)

  “What are you talking about Kaori? If the holy sword is here then the Hero should be panicking while frantically searching for it right?” (Hajime)

  “Ah that’s because I repced it with an exact copy of this sword here, it had a program to make blinking lights and can change shape according to the user’s will.” (Alice)

  “Oi! I thought you would keep it a secret!” (Hajime)

  “The contract only goes as far as switching the Holy sword with the dummy and giving it to Lillywood-san. For more you will have to pay a fee.” (Alice)

  “Chih, damn you Phantasmal King!” (Hajime)

  “Wait!? You stole Kouki’s sword!?” (Shizuku)

  “It’s not what you think it is, Shizuku. I can promise you that I did this purely out of kindness from the bottom of my heart.” (Hajime)

  Said Hajime as he holds a blinking Holy Sword-chan that somehow looks like she’s trying to throw a lot of compints at Hajime.

  I see, so they’re all gathered together to examine the Holy Sword huh, I mean since Lillywood-san is the Spirit of the World Tree and the Goddess inside the holy sword is also some sort of Avatar of a World Tree, maybe Lillywood-san able to interfere with the soul of the Goddess with her power.

  But to think that Alice-san is working together with Hajime in stealing the Holy Sword…

  “...And why do you work together with Hajime-san, Alice-san? I thought you’re not interested in us at all desu?” (Shia)

  “I thought the sword the hero representative was holding was interesting so I decided to inspect it.” (Alice)

  I see… so Alice-san also figured out that the Holy Sword has something in it huh. She even looks at the Holy Sword like some sort of experimental rat, the Holy Sword-chan jolts because of it.

  Weird, I can somehow see Alice-san and Hajime’s figure overpping with each other, must’ve been because they’re almost simir.

  “Anyway, you need to give it back to Kouki before he comes back to the inn okay!?” (Shizuku)

  “Fine, it won’t take long anyway. So, how about it, Lillywood-san?” (Hajime)

  [Hmm, I think I can interact with it, but to make her materialize herself would cost her an enormous amount of magic power. I pnned to give this to her but I don’t know if it’ll work.] (Lillywood)

  As Lillywood-san say this, she then opened a hole through space and brought out some sort of weird shining fruit. It looks like a pretty ornamental fruit but it contains a hefty amount of mana for some reason.

  “...Nn? Lillywood-san, what is this?” (Yue)

  [This is the fruit of the World Tree, it can restore any wound and depleted magic power. I thought it’ll be beneficial if I give it to the spirit inside this sword since this fruit contains some of my power, although I don’t know how to prescribe it.] (Lillywood)

  Hee, no wonder there’s a hefty amount of mana inside that fruit, so it’s practically Ambrosia in fruit form huh?

  “Hmm, should we just stab the fruit with the sword?” (Hajime)

  “Well there’s no other way around so might as well.” (Alice)

  [Well then, if you excuse me.] (Lillywood)

  As Lillywood-san crushed the fruit and extracted the essence, she then poured it to the Holy Sword’s bde. The sword then blinking rapidly with blinding light, I’m guessing Holy Sword-chan likes it?

  [Umu, I see. Looks like it’s working. Can you materialize yourself please?] (Lillywood)

  As Lillywood-san asks the Holy Sword, or rather, the Goddess that resides inside the Holy Sword, it then shines very brightly. After the light subsided, a small bck haired fairy with bck dress came out. She then politely bowed towards Lillywood-san.

  “Thank you so much for the help, Lillywood-sama.” (Ua Alto)

  [Fufu, you’re welcome, you can now materialize yourself with no issue right?] (Lillywood)

  “Yes! Thanks to Lillywood-sama’s power, most of my strength has gone back!” (Ua Alto)

  Nn, looks like the recovery was a success as the Goddess of Ua Alto tree successfully materialized herself into a fairy form like Etemp-san.

  “...Now that I think about it, what are you doing here, Etemp-san?” (Yue)

  “I’m here to introduce myself as the fairy senpai Tehe☆!” (Etemp)

  “Want me to pce you in a perpetual nightmare again?” (Alice)

  “I’m sorry! I’m here because I asked Alice-sama to lift my curse!” (Etemp)

  I see, I forgot about this but Etemp-san did find Alice-san back at Kaito-san’s home before so she has had nightmares often since.

  “You're already done here, right? You can leave now, or rather, my business here is done so imma dip now since Alice-chan will go help her beloved Kaito-san~.” (Alice)

  …And there she goes, Alice-san really comes and goes like a wind.

  [Well I also have work to do so please excuse me.] (Lillywood)

  Nn, As we wave goodbye to Lillywood-san, she then teleports out of the hall.

  “Anyway, since we’re done here, let’s ask some ques-wait, where’s the Fairy?” (Hajime)

  “Eh? Has she gone back to the Holy Sword desu?” (Shia)

  “Weird, that fruit is chock full with magic power like Ambrosia so it shouldn’t be—!!! DAMN YOOOOUUUUU PHANTASMAL KIIIIIIIINNGGGG!!!” (Hajime)

  Hajime examines the Holy Sword and screams for some reason. Nn? There’s a letter pced below the Holy Sword, let’s see what it said.

  「I’m taking Holy Sword-chan back to the hero representative, I took the liberty in taking the fee for the shipping so bye bye~. Signed by: The Transcendental Beauty Phantasmal King Alice-chan☆! Tehe☆~」

  Uwaaa… we all said that as Alice-san secretly repced the Holy Sword with another dummy and probably even took Hajime’s money out from his Magic Box in the context of “shipping fee”.

  “H-h-hey, are you sure this is the dummy!?” (Shizuku)

  “I tried to find the Demon King stamp I pced before in order to not be confused with the dummy but what I found is this “Kaito-san x Alice-chan love love” stamp instead! Some of my money in my Magic Box also disappeared! Goddamn it! I got swindled again!” (Hajime)

  “H-h-how about we tell Kaito-san?” (Kaori)

  “I can’t! He’s busy preparing things on the Death King’s end! F*CK! I CHOOSE THE WRONG TIME TO ASK FOR CONTRACT DAMMIT AAAAALLLLLL!!!” (Hajime)

  As Hajime fell on all four in despair, the Holy Sword (Dummy) gave a small blinking light as if to add another insult to Hajime.

  Hajime pulls out Donner-san and Schg-san to shoot the Holy Sword (Dummy).

  The Holy Sword (Dummy) didn’t even make a dent…

  Hajime proceeded to pull out all of his arsenals, we all tried to stop him as the Holy Sword (Dummy) was still blinking insulting lights towards him. Thankfully he calmed down when we suggested that we will report this to Kaito-san since Alice-san answered to no one but him.

  But anyway, even though Hajime uses rubber bullets and did not enchant his guns, to think that this dummy holy sword didn’t even make a dent when Hajime shot at it, it goes to show how high Alice-san’s craftsmanship level was.

  …for some reason I can also see a figure of a certain most annoying person in the world overpping with Alice-san’s figure.

  “Hey Yue-san, why do I feel like Alice-san is like Miledi?” (Shia)

  “...What a coincidence, I felt the same.” (Yue)

  We shudder at the realization that Alice-san is basically a culmination of Hajime’s craftsmanship with Miledi’s annoyingness combined.

  The only saving grace is Kaito-san is capable of stopping her, but even that will not stop her completely.

  For some weird reason I can foresee us being tangled up with her mess again…
