"Please enjoy."
In the morning dining room, gumin brought breakfast to the table.
Eiji, Kazuma Satou, Darkness, and gumin sat on either side of the dining table, the entire space enveloped in a strange atmosphere.
Eiji's expression remained unchanged, while Kazuma Satou wore a lecherous grin.
Darkness pretended to be calm, but her hand holding the sandwich trembled visibly—anyone could see she was deeply unsettled!
It's over, they've been exposed!
She had planned to wake up early and have Eiji leave before everyone else got up, but she accidentally cried out, instantly revealing that they had slept together last night!
gumin was currently looking at her with awe-filled eyes, probably filled with reverence at how she had transford from a virgin to a slut in just one month.
Darkness felt utterly dejected.
She really was still a virgin!
Why was she being branded with the nickna "slut"?
"...Is Aqua still not up? She's oversleeping again today, haha!"
Unable to bear the strange atmosphere at the table any longer, Darkness forced out two awkward laughs.
"Aqua isn't just not up yet—she hasn't even woken up."
Kazuma Satou grinned cheerfully, delighted to have such entertaining drama first thing in the morning.
"Hasn't woken up?"
Darkness looked puzzled.
"She hasn't woken up since she was knocked out last night."
gumin added.
Darkness froze instantly.
"That goddess is too idiotic. I couldn't help myself and hit her a bit too hard."
Eiji chewed his bacon sandwich leisurely, responding with a gentle smile.
gumin glanced at him with deep respect.
Thankfully, she hadn't offended him too badly last night, otherwise she'd probably be lying unconscious next to Aqua right now!
"Will she be okay?"
Darkness visibly worried. Not waking up all night—could there be brain damage? What if she becos even more foolish?
"She's a goddess. What could possibly happen to her?"
Eiji dismissed the concern casually.
According to Kazuma, Aqua's stats had never improved, aning that, like Eiji, her abilities had long surpassed their limits. Despite her usual foolish deanor, her strength was genuine—after all, her true form was that of a goddess.
"No way, how could Aqua be a goddess?"
"Right, what kind of goddess would be that stupid?"
Darkness and gumin shook their heads repeatedly, their expressions clearly disbelieving, as if they thought he was joking.
Kazuma Satou shrugged, thoroughly amused by the situation.
Given Aqua's personality, she'd love for the whole world to know she was a goddess so everyone would worship her—she had no intention of hiding it.
Unfortunately, aside from Kazuma, no one believed her. Even her teammates Darkness and gumin refused to accept that soone as idiotic as Aqua could be a goddess.
It was just hilarious.
With this distraction, the strange atmosphere quickly dissipated, and Darkness breathed a sigh of relief.
Breakfast soon concluded.
"Kazuma, co with outside!"
"Yes, boss!"
At Eiji's summons, Kazuma Satou imdiately grew excited.
What were they going to do?
Had the cooldown for dinsion travel ended?
Or were they going to show off?
Whatever it was, the boss would handle everything—no need to worry about those troublemakers causing him any headaches!
Kazuma hadn't felt such pure joy in a long ti!
"Darkness, how was last night... with you two?"
In the kitchen, gumin and Darkness were washing dishes when gumin stealthily approached, her eyes filled with blatant curiosity.
"Nothing really happened between Mr. Nangou and ."
Darkness replied weakly, having repeated this line countless tis.
"I believe you. After all, no strange noises ca from your room last night. The soundproofing in this villa isn't exactly great."
Surprisingly, gumin accepted this imdiately, stroking her chin with a knowing expression.
Crimson Demons possessed high intelligence - otherwise they couldn't have beco the legendary race where every mber was a great mage. Being a mage required considerable intellect.
"Then why did you act that way before?"
"I thought your reactions were amusing... St-stop! Don't pull my eyepatch!"
After so playful tussling, gumin suffered a miserable defeat. Her petite fra was no match for the muscular Darkness.
"Seriously though, nothing at all happened between you? Not even any accidents?"
gumin's eyes sparkled as she pressed on unwillingly.
"Well, not exactly nothing... That person is really amazing!"
Pressed by gumin's relentless questioning, Darkness hesitated before revealing a small detail.
"Amazing?!"
gumin instantly beca excited.
"Then what? Then what?"
As she spoke, Darkness herself grew excited again, as if reliving last night, her face flushing with excitent.
gumin's eyes widened, her breathing gradually becoming heavier.
So thrilling!
Just imagining the scene made gumin feel an itch in her nose, as if she were about to get a nosebleed!
"Too bad he eventually threw into the toilet. I wish he'd let endure a bit longer!"
"So you were talking about your fetish all along!"
gumin roared, all her expectations shattered!
She thought it was going to be sothing more risqué!
Hearing it was just an exchange about masochistic tendencies, gumin imdiately lost all interest!
...
"Teleport!"
A blinding white light flashed before their eyes.
Their brains experienced intense, rocket-like vertigo, taking a while to recover.
"Boss, next ti you use teleportation, could you give so warning..."
Kazuma's face was pale green.
This was his first experience with teleportation magic, and he nearly vomited!
"Don't worry, you'll get used to it. The first ti is always uncomfortable."
Eiji waved dismissively, then called out to Kazuma.
"Follow !"
With that, he strode out ahead.
Kazuma suppressed his nausea and hurried after him.
The surrounding structures were mostly made of black stone and tal, covering a vast area that felt extrely gloomy, almost like so kind of hell.
"All hail the Demon King!"
A patrol of Dark Knights kneeling respectfully on one knee upon seeing Eiji.
"This is the Demon King's Castle? Why did we co to the outskirts, boss?"
"This is indeed the Demon King's Castle, but we're not in the outskirts."
"?"
"This is the true Demon King's Castle at the northern border of the continent."
Eiji pointed toward the sky.
Kazuma stared blankly in that direction.
A massive barrier materialized in the sky, its inverted bowl-like shape stretching across an astonishing expanse, seemingly covering several kiloters in radius. The sheer scale of it was breathtaking.
"The True Demon King's Castle... The legendary fortress that no one has breached head-on for decades!"
After staring in awe for a mont, Kazuma beca utterly exhilarated.
