Volume 3 - Chapter 3: Desires are dangerous

…

While Souma was in the Demon Realm, the 2nd group of girls from Evercliff were continuing their lives however regret was always on their minds. As Neiru and Alina stayed behind in the city of Evercliff, they began to think more about Rain…

“Neiru-nee...I miss Rain...I wonder if he’s alright...He never got the chance to play with me either…” Alina was talking to Neiru after a council meeting with the City leaders and they were walking home after a long day of gruesome training…

“I miss him too...I miss his golden hair...and that confusing look on his face...and even then, sometimes he would be a bit childish then his attitude changes and he becomes more manly...I want...to see..him…” Neiru was twiddling her fingers as she carried a few bags that had paperwork from the meeting..

“Neiru-nee, is it alright that we should stay here...I mean the city is expanding more and even without us, the City leaders are still here...We should go on an adventure and try to find Rain…” Alina asked while feeling a bit rushed.

In fact, Alina felt that everything was going to be fine even without the two. Alina founded her Training school and the students are doing well, but she needed to experience the world. She could’ve left but she didn’t want to leave her sister, Neiru all alone. Neiru on the other hand, felt the same way but she was feeling a bit hesitant on the situation if Rain showed up at the City but no one was there to greet him. Although Rain was far away from the City, Neiru was still feeling hesitant on leaving.

“Bu...but what if Rain comes back...and no one is here...to meet him…?” Neiru was hesitant as Alina asked a question that she had thought before…

“Well, we could always tell someone to make sure Rain knows that we’re gone and that he should find us...It’s not like he’s going to disappear...I know he’s stronger than that...he wouldn’t have died down there...I knew he was strong when he first arrived...and during the tournament...he was so powerful...I want to meet him so I can punch him...for making all of us cry...especially you Neiru-nee...you cried the most and he’s gonna have to pay for it for the rest of his life by being with us…” Alina was sobbing a bit and she usually wasn’t the first to breakdown as she was the cheerful type. Alina really missed Rain and Neiru felt that.

Neiru hugged her sister and gently wiped her tears that formed…

“I know...he’s gonna have to beg for forgiveness...he made all of cry...He can’t die...not now, not ever...until we meet him…” Neiru looked at the sky that slowly darkened as the moon crept past the clouds.

“I guess...we could go adventuring...it’s been several years since we’ve been to the other kingdoms and villages...we could go to the Maran Kingdom...I heard about the struggles that are happening there...but humans are somewhat welcome...Also, we have to pay a visit to Orylheim, where Shina is training to become a miko and eventually a Meikai…” Neiru patted Alina’s back and they continued to walk towards their home.

“But, Neiru-nee...isn’t the Maran Kingdom dangerous?”

“Well, it is in the Demon Realm...we have to get special permission to enter..but we’re going to go there so we can visit our aunt Flora…” Neiru answered and looked at Alina, who was confused at the reason why she wanted to go to the Maran Kingdom…

“Aunt Flora...aunt….AUNTIE!?” Alina was pondering on the name until she remembered Aunt Flora…

“Noooo….! I remember when I was a kid and aunt flora would pick on meee!” Alina finally remembered and picked up speed while she walked together with Neiru.

Neiru, having to increase her speed finally spoke, “Well, we have to visit her! It’s been 6 years since we haven’t seen her and she’s living in the Maran Kingdom! We can get special passes from the HQ, since we have merchants that come from the Demon Realm to here. And, it’ll be worth the trip!”

“Aunt floraaa is going to pick on meeeeee, she’s probably gonna make fun of my breasts D;” Alina cupped her breasts and while they were generally big, they probably could be compared to Aunt Flora’s.

“Alina...we’re gonna have to go there...and then after that we can go visit Orylheim and even stop at the Orphis Academy to visit Neena and Leia. Don’t worry too much about Aunt Flora, we need to visit her and make sure she’s alright! She did take care of us when we were younger after we lost father!” Neiru exclaimed her reason on visiting Aunt flora in the Maran Kingdom and also they would be traveling to Orylheim and visiting the Orphis Academy.

“Fiine! Let’s just hurry and get out of here...I’m bored of just teaching people how to fight anyways...and who knows, we might find rain!” Alina changed her expression and immediately brightened up.

The two finally headed for their house and eventually wrote their letter of departure. The next day came and the City Leaders were shocked but somehow they knew that Neiru and Alina would be leaving soon. Klain and the rest of the Mercenary HQ, bid farewell to Neiru, who was once their former female commander. Alina left her training school to one of her students that was selected after a traditional Jiyu Kumite-style. Her students bid her farewell without much resistance. The city knew someday that they would be leaving, just like their sisters. The males in the city were heartbroken after all, since their goddesses are now all going to be gone. Neiru and Alina gave awkward glances at the males that prostrated themselves, to beg them to stay but they simply ran past them and went to the Mercenary HQ to receive their special passes. The Maran Kingdom was going to be quite a short travel, since it is quite near the border of the Kingdom of Algarun. Once reaching this designated spot outside the border, they will pass through a gate which will lead them to the Demon Realm. Then from there, they will travel for 3 days to reach the Maran Kingdom.

[Editor’s Note: Jiyu-Kumtite is a form of Karate practice where it is technically a free spar that allows the two opponents to freely choose their scoring techniques and it is usually altered depending on sex, rank or age of the participant. Also, Jiyu-Kumite may variant between scoring techniques such as takedowns, light grappling or sweeps. In this case, it was between Alina and her students.]

Nowadays, Humans have been entering the Demon Realm due to their newly appointed Demon King. Although the demons hated the humans, they were that hostile. Partially was because of their lack of power, but they also feared the Demon King’s power which included the Shidan. Also, while the Demon Realm seems normal, there are still demonic creatures roaming the realm, thus it is recommended to be traveled with a set of escorts or guards. Demonic creatures are usually tempted by physical appearances, so if you look weak, they will attack regardless.

[Editor’s Note: This is referring to the point where Souma entered the Demon Realm/Forest. The demon creatures would’ve attacked Souma, but his Demonic Aura was too overwhelming that it literally suffocated the demonic beasts.]

The two girls finally got their passes and prepared for tomorrow’s departure. They even bought new adventuring outfits and new gear for traveling. They sat the kitchen table and looked at their house that seemed so empty and memories of Rain flushed by. Alina kept a cheerful front but Neiru’s worried expression eventually got to them.

They began to wonder...What if Rain died...What if he returned...What if...what if…

Those thoughts circled them but then they steeled their resolve. Rain was someone they barely knew, but they knew he was stronger than them, far stronger. Alina and Neiru finally calmed down and they slept peacefully in their house once more.

Tomorrow came faster than usual even though it was the same time every day and the girls got out of bed and made their way to the gate. At the gate of the City of Evercliff, the city leaders and Klain along with his wife and the Mercenaries were waiting for them. Everyone wanted to see them off and waiting for them was a Traveling Merchant group that was making an expedition to the Maran Kingdom. The merchant group willingly offered to give a ride to Neiru and Alina after finding out that the girls were heading to the Maran Kingdom. Everyone wished Alina and Neiru a safe trip and finally they set their first destination towards the Maran Kingdom…

…

Souma was sleeping peacefully throughout the night, just before the morning storm came. At night, he was dreaming of a peaceful lifestyle, working and then returning home to his wife. Although he couldn’t see the image of his wife’s face, he felt accustomed to meeting her and kissing her after a day’s hard work. She then, looked at Souma and asked a question…

“Danna-sama..Would you like dinner first…”

..

“Or a bath…”

..

“Or….me?”

[Editor’s Note: XD Hahahaa]

[Edtior’s Note2: Danna = hubby/husband. It is used different to describe “Master of the house” or even Patron (Geishas refer their male customers as Danna, which is their patron). Danna-sama usually is referring to husband in modern times.]

Apparently, the wife was asking a certain marital question that hailed from a far eastern country. Souma was astonished at the turn of events and his wife tackled him down and she was ontop of him. Her legs spread on top of him, at the center of his crotch area, placing him in a favorable position. Souma couldn’t even think straight, it was as if his desires were being multiplied.

He felt an immeasurable urge creeping within his body. The urge for sexual desires began to crawl in the shadows of his thoughts..

‘I...want...to..put...it..in..’

..

‘WAIT WHAT PUT WHAT IN WHAT AM I THINKING!?’

..

Souma’s desires were running rampant in his mind...

“Danna-sama..It’s okay, let me reward you~ After a long day of work...I, as the duty of your wife, I shall take care of you~” His wife grasped his hand and placed them onto her breasts, perfectly cupping them in the palm of his hands. She gave off an erotic moan and her breath grew deeper. As Souma’s hands moved erotically around her breasts, she moaned exhilarating, causing Souma to grow.

Souma’s body was heating up from the pleasure and something rose. His pants were pitching a tent as his wife was moaning from his grasps. Eventually, Souma removed her shirt that was accompanied by her bra and she removed Souma’s clothings. At the front door entrance, Souma and his wife that he could not depict from the illusion, were nearly naked. Souma had his shirt unbuttoned and she removed his shirt in a rush to expose his bare chest. While doing so, Souma began to erotically tease his wife but he had no control in doing so. It was as if he had no control but to watch.

His wife moaned ridiculously loud after Souma teasingly pinched her nipples and she fell upon his bare chest, where she came into contact with his muscles. She was breathing heavily, panting really, as if she was in heat. She began to lick upon Souma’s chest and while she did, Souma placed his hands onto her hips. Eventually it led to her plump buttocks which he groped erotically. As things were heating up, she undressed herself completely. Souma stared at her body yet he still couldn’t see that face! Souma was more than ready to go, and right as she laid on top of his chest, Souma finally woke up…

Upon waking up, he felt a similar feeling as his dream…

The Dhampir woman was half naked on top of Souma and Souma was groping her plump butt. She had an accentuated body figure, similar to the one in his dreams, however she had on a bra piece, which unfortunately didn’t reveal her breasts. Souma was about to yell but it wouldn’t do much to help his situation if Lenia woke up to this mess…

Serina was panting heavily, while resting on Souma’s bare chest. Somehow, he had gotten undressed but it didn’t matter really. What really mattered was that this woman was on top of him and he felt something wet coming from her. Her erotic fluids were leaking and Souma could feel it. He didn’t have a clue on what to do, so he pretended to fall back asleep as she was panting too hard to even notice that Souma was awake. However, Souma was almost out of the clear until she whispered into his ears…

“I know you are awake…”

*pant*

“and you felt awesome..we can continue this later if you’d like~”

*pant*

“Your partner that is in the bed is about to wake up…” The dhampir spoke in half pauses due to her breathing.

“No one...has ever made me feel this good...you are one special human..” After speaking her last line, she quickly lick his earlobe and nibbled on it. Souma nearly let out a shriek as he didn’t expect that.

Serina immediately left the room while in the middle of dressing up, and Lenia was beginning to wake up.

Souma quickly examined his body and saw that his pants were still secured! Only his shirt and his cloak were away from his body.

‘Phew...nothing too extreme happened...Oh god this is dangerous...I have to watch out...I wonder why I couldn’t sense her...probably because she wasn’t an enemy...I only have enemy sensory as a talent for detecting enemies...but that certainly was ‘dangerous’ in its own way...’

Souma grabbed his shirt and quickly got dressed before Lenia woke up.

Luckily, nothing was evident that another woman was with him but there were fluids on his body, that he had to wipe on his shirt. The fluids gave quite the arousing smell and Souma was worried but he had no choice but to roll with it.

Lenia woke up and saw Souma staring at her, while she was in bed. She stared at him, and finally noticed his handsome features. During that time at the restaurant, she was all caught up in her emotions that she didn’t even recognize Souma’s appearance and she did sit quite far away from Souma during that incident. Her face grew heavy and she immediately pulled out a hidden blade from her side pocket. Souma was baffled and he looked at her, while waving his hands…

“wait wait! I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING!!! DO NOT ATTA--” Even as he protested, she swept the covers and lunged at Souma before he could even finish.

Upon leaping, Souma saw everything happening but it was happening so slow. His astral mind activated on its own, prompting him to see everything move in a sporadic motion, which really meant that he was moving faster while everything was slow for him. The blade approached him and she was in mid-lunge. Souma moved to the side and placed his hand on her, removing the blade and quickly adjusted her body while she moved in slow motion. Souma rapidly placed her on the bed and tied her hands behind her back using the blanket covers. He made sure not to tie it hard and then everything resumed back in normal time.

Souma completely disappeared from her view and suddenly she was already tied up. Lenia was confused and shock but then she began to scream early in the morning.

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU FILTHY HUMAN!”

..

“HOW DARE YOU TOUCH ME!”

..

“AHHHH UNTIE ME, YOU INSOLENT HUMAN!”

..

“GRRRRR”

“Wait...Listen to me...I didn’t do anything miss Lenia…” Souma tried to soothe the woman but his efforts were for naught.

“LIES! YOU RAPIST! YOU HUMAN BASTARDS ARE NO DIFFERENT” Lenia barked loudly while she was busy struggling to get out of the tie.

“Really...I DIDN’T DO ANYTHING!? LISTEN TO ME” Souma tried to increase his voice but it got even worse…

“OH, NOW YOU ARE YELLING AT ME, SUCH DESPICABLE HUMANS TO TREAT A LADY! YOU ARE SO SHAMELESS” Lenia was being coy in her yelling/screams that it is started to irritate Souma.

Souma was irritated but his Calm mind wouldn’t let him do anything drastic, however it made him think more rationally.

While this could’ve went as long as he wanted, the people were beginning to worry downstairs and other residents in the inn were beginning to wake up. Souma felt the slight movements around the vicinity and finally began to seal off the room in a wind barrier with his wind magic. Wind Magic, compiled with his magic mastery, allowed Souma to create practically anything using the mastered element. He created a barrier of some sort using wind, that nullified all sound from being permitted in or out. It was something he came up with and he generally thought of the idea after thinking about his privacy. You would want silence within your privacy time, this is what Souma would think but little did he know is that this wind barrier will help later in the future, especially with his future wives.

Also, a notification pinged and Souma was ignoring Lenia that was loudly shouting but no sound could escape his wind barrier. Eventually the people outside and the other guests returned to their rooms after the woman ceased her screaming. As Lenia was screaming wholeheartedly, Souma was viewing his new skill that he created…

‘Well...if she isn’t going to listen...I’ll just wait until she calms down...’

Due to Augmented Stat: Ingenuity, you have created a new skill

Magic Skill:Skill Rank:Skill Level:Skill Experience:Wind Barrier---Lv. 10%A skill that is created using Ingenuity. It allows a person to fully render attacks and sound, depending on the user’s magic proficiency in Wind Magic. The barrier is an invisible barrier created from wind vibrating against each other, creating an invisible wall. Due to mastery of Wind Magic, the wind barrier can also be used in various ways to even prevent particles from entering or leaving. Additional effects can be unlocked with the appropriate element.

This skill has been unlocked under Wind Mastery.

This skill can be altered.

‘Hmm...I guess this is a new wind skill...I also noticed that I mastered wind but I never got additional wind abilities...is it because I have to create them?...’

“HEY YOU BETTER UNTIE ME YOU DAMN HUMAN!!! AHHHHH RAPIST, PERVERT, SADIST AHHHHH ARE LISTENING TO MEEEEEEE---” Lenia was screaming angrily at Souma and he really wasn’t paying attention. Probably the reason why he wasn’t paying attention is because he created miniature wind barriers around his ear…

Ojii-chan: Souma...you rapist…

Souma: Really...Ojii...REALLY SHE WOULDN’T EVEN LISTEN TO ME

Ojii-chan: No, I am not referring to Miss lenia, but earlier this morni---

Souma: STOP! That was due to unfortunate events! SHE CAME INTO THE ROOM WITHOUT ME KNOWING! WHAT KIND OF INN CARETAKER DOES THAT!?

Ojii-chan: But you liked it.

Souma: Errr...well...wait what NO! I prefer to know the person before doing that!

Ojii-chan: You know...I just noticed that you’re slowly becoming like Kami-sama...I should straighten you up…

Souma: Okay...I AM NOT THAT BASTARD IN ANY WAY OR FORM!

Ojii-chan: Such language, very angry, much temper.

Souma: …….

Ojii-chan: ………

Ojii-chan: Okay, let’s stop..anyways let me tell you a bit of something about Magic here. Magic is a bit different than what you are used to. From what I saw from your memories, you read a lot of books from your father’s study right and a lot of them had magic and fantasy...Now, this world is slightly different. Magic differs for every race and for humans, it became slightly good yet bad. For humans, we can use magic freely but the magic skills have to be developed, which is why you have Ingenuity. Nowadays, most humans do not even have Ingenuity since they can learn the magic skills and techniques from teachers or masters. Magic is changing and most people don’t have the right mind to create something new, but you developed the Ingenuity stat on your own. It’s probably because of your mind and how you are able to recall your memories instantly.

Souma: So, you are saying that I can pretty much create any magic skill just by using Ingenuity?

Ojii-chan: Well, technically yes but you still have to have the appropriate mana capacity.

Souma: You say Mana capacity, but how come mine is all in question marks. Even my other stats are in question marks…

Ojii-chan: Alright, well since you have the same question marks, it probably means you have my base stats. From what I remember when I was alive, my base stats were separated by question marks. Eventually, I revealed everything and I saw what my stats were. For a single question mark, it meant that the number was above 1,000. Which means, if you have question marks, they are already 1,000+ in their category. From what I recall, most beings have a number because their abilities never reached past 1,000. Now, there are certain individuals that possess question marks, which meant that they are strong too. Apostles from different planets, and also in this world have question marks because they were trained by their god. Also, if I remember, a certain kingdom has a king with two question marks. Two question marks means their digits are passed the 10,000 mark. Meaning, they are equally permissible as a boss type of some sort.

Souma: What the...so a king has two question marks...and they’re considered boss type people...but really, I think one question mark is quite strong already...From what I read in Father’s study, several bosses have multiple stats that are ridiculous…

Ojii-chan: Yes, most people have the same stats as you do, but some have special stats that make them unique and some have dual question marks…

Souma: But, what about me?

Ojii-chan: That’s the thing, I don’t know. I only had two question marks, which my abilities were above 10,000 but if I had to say, most of my stats were above 100,000+...So, you are something special...I don’t know what you are..but you are ridiculously strong and you need to start training so you can get better at controlling your abilities.

Souma: …but....What am I…?

Souma looked at his hands, while Lenia was screaming, tossing and turning and growling at him. He wondered what his abilities and what power he has….

Ojii-chan: Don’t worry too much about it...I know what you are feeling, I felt it before when I was here…

Souma: But...If I am too strong..wouldn’t people be afraid of me more...This makes me feel like when I was kid...I was too smart for the other kids my age and no one would play with me...I secluded myself and never played with others…

Ojii-chan: Kozo! Are you that easy to break! Aren’t you my descendant! This isn’t how a Kurogane member acts! We are a proud clan, and I didn’t build my family only to be simply broken by petty emotions! You are strong, yes you are ridiculously strong but you have that power to protect those that are dear to you! I COULDN’T PROTECT MY WIFE AS SHE DIED FROM BEING IN A NEW WORLD, DO YOU KNOW HOW THAT FEELS!

Souma: ….sorry Jii-chan…

Ojii-chan: Now, I am sorry for my outburst, it is shameful for an elder to scold a kid like that. But, you must understand that you aren’t 4 anymore. Your much older than that and you cannot be a kid anymore. Stop dwelling on the past, you know better…

Souma: Hai…

Ojii-chan: Now, you should get back to Lenia...she’s starting to cry...and straighten up your act! I will have to scold you if you don’t!

Souma: H-Hai!

Souma returned and looked at Lenia, who was beginning to cry on the bed. She continuously shouted and Souma ignored her completely. Souma removed the wind barrier and immediately went to Lenia…

“Sorry...I shouldn’t have ignored you like that...Please don’t cry...It hurts when women cry...I am very sorry...as a human, I shouldn’t have done that…” Souma was talking in an apologetic tone and quickly untied her. Before she could even react, Souma hugged her and apologized sincerely.

“Sorry…” Souma was a bit sad at the fact that his memories brought up several moments when he was a kid. He held Lenia tightly and she struggled a bit but then she slightly cried and received Souma’s hug.

Apparently for Lenia, the whole ignoring situation brought up painful memories for her, which was why she was crying. Souma was repeatedly apologizing as he could sense her emotions vividly and he wanted to apologise for what he did. Although he could’ve apologized by doing the whole prostrating movement and receiving punishment, he really wanted to hug someone so he could shake those uneasy feelings that he felt. Lenia intensely hugged Souma in response and she immediately pushed him away. Souma was tossed onto the ground and he looked up…

“Ow..ow! What was that for!” Souma exclaimed in a brash manner.

As Souma was rubbing his head, Souma saw Serina at the door looking at a beet red Lenia.

“Oh hoh~ I wasn’t just enough, so you went for her too~” Serina was smirking at Souma and Lenia was blushing really hard. To the point where she looked like an apple with red hair.

Lenia immediately dashed out of the room and left the entire inn. She couldn’t stay there while she was embarrassed…

‘No no no! A human! A demon and human were together! noooooo~ yadaaa!’

..

‘nooooo! I was seen with a human!! I mean...he was handsome but still a human! AND I CAN’T FORGIVE HIM! WHY DID HE TIE ME UP!? AHHHHHH’

..

‘I can’t forgive him! NEVER….But my wounds are gone...I should thank him...’

..

‘NO! Don’t thank him! He’s a pervert!....’

..

‘But...he’s handsome...he’s a handsome pervert...’

..

‘NO, I WON’T FORGIVE HUMANS!’

..

‘GAAAAH WHAT AM I THINKING!? DO I LIKE HIM!? WHAT NO!’

..

‘WHY!?’

Lenia was storming through the streets and eventually she ran all the way to the next city where her house was.

Souma was grumbling on the ground and Serina was playfully eyeing Souma’s appearance on the floor. She licked her lips and Souma twitched from her expression..

“Errr...HEY WHAT WERE YOU DOING THIS MORNING!?” Souma was bent on asking the question at Serina because she was with Souma late at night.

“Ohh~ I don’t know what you meaaan, Danna-saamaaaa~” Serina spoke in a playful tone and went downstairs.

Souma swept his clothes and finally stood up…

“Haaa...what am I going to do...I guess it should be time to find your friend, Ojii-chan...Where should we go?” Souma was talking to himself and in the hallway, a random guest thought Souma was crazy since he was talking to himself…

“Crazy humans...I don’t know why you are here…” The random guest spoke while walking past Souma’s room and Souma was talking with Ojii-chan…

Ojii-chan: Well, we need to go to the next city. She lives in a different city from this one.

Souma: I should go ask someone about the cities in this kingdom…

Ojii-chan: Yeah, I think some places have changed too..

Souma: I think I am going to regret this, but I should go ask Serina…

Ojii-chan: Oho, you couldn’t get enough from this morning, so you are going for seconds?

Souma: Jii-chan...I am going to ignore that…

Ojii-chan: Oh, come on! You can’t just ignore that her while she did that to you…

While Ojii-chan was having his own thoughts, Souma was feeling a bit weird today. His body seemed hotter and somehow he became more sensitive. His body grew hotter but it wasn’t that kind of hot that you’d feel with a sickness, rather it seemed as if his body was seeking a woman. His sexual desires must’ve been amplified by Serina and caused his libido to rise again. His calm mind is trying to suppress his desires, but eventually it’ll break loose…

Souma went downstairs and saw Serina behind the counter as usual. She winked at Souma and his body tensed up. He began to feel hot and his desires were resounding louder and louder in his mind. Ojii-chan’s voice disappeared beneath his desires and he began to look at Serina.

Her feminine body was leaning over the counter, exposing her features. Souma could clearly see the outline of her body, seamlessly matching her outfit. Her white shirt, accented with the middle portion opened which exposed her cleavage. She had glossy lips and her face was filled with sexy features. Her eyes glistened as the morning glare of the sunlight that passed through the windows, and she was staring at Souma. Souma’s breathing grew heavy and his body was acting different. Souma tried to shake away his desires and continuously avoided Serina’s gaze but this time...it couldn’t be helped.

Souma’s conscience passed out and now, a new personality took over…

A notification pinged and Souma was a different person…

Souma looked at Serina and grabbed her hands. Her body ached in a sort of passionate way and her face looked as if she were in ecstasy. Souma grabbed her and looked at her in the eyes and she was entranced by his demeanor.

Souma was a bit different, his demonic form was changing more vibrantly and his miasma was leaking slightly. Serina was quaking under her ecstasy and Souma picked her up and carried her away. Souma dragged her into a room and placed her on the bed. His eyes weren’t normal and they had an alluring gaze. It was similar to that enticing gaze that Serina used on Souma, the first time he came to the inn. Serina laid on the bed and her body was quivering from Souma’s touch. She didn’t know what was happening and her body was reacting differently.

“You, Woman. Strip for me!” Souma spoke in a commanding voice towards Serina.

‘Wha...whaaa~ Who is this person! I thought he was a normal human!’ Serina was too busy feeling it that even her thoughts began to be polluted.

‘Bu...but his touch...his piercing gaze...makes me so...Uguu~’

Her body was shaking heavily and she was beginning to pant as Souma stared at her body. Serina was too busy feeling her orgasm, that she didn’t notice Souma’s demonic appearance. The appearance of a demon king, a man of demonic prowess, a man who is born a ruler...Souma’s body began to reveal his demonic form, two pitch black wings sprouted from his back, and his demonic horns appeared from his forehead. Part of his skin was turning black, and several vein-like lines appeared on his skin that were pitch black. His eyes were turning completely red but leaving the center, a tinge of black. Upon looking at Serina, her body quivered and she had to figure out a way to escape his gaze but it was futile. His eyes gave that commanding look which ultimately made Serina surrender under Souma. She began to breathe heavily under Souma’s gaze and began to undress herself, Souma’s clothes were confined to his body but his muscles were pulsating beneath. His body was changing and becoming more different. His miasma was leaking and then something happened….

As Serina surrendered under Souma, she was undressing herself and then she was naked until…

‘NO! I WILL NOT GIVE IN!’

..

‘AHHHH’

..

‘I WILL NEVER SUBMIT!’

“Oh, you are foolish, human! YOU ARE THE DEMON KING!”

‘NO! I WILL NOT CONTROL PEOPLE!’

“BUT IT IS IN YOUR NATURE. YOU WILL HAVE TO CONTROL YOUR DOMINION! YOU ARE THE DEMON KING!”

‘NEVER!’

“OH! But you will, you are me after all...Just you wait...You will eventually becoming the demon king…IT IS IN YOUR BLOOD”

Souma was in conflict with his alter ego. Not only was he linked to Kami-sama...He’s also connected to Asmodan...and he’s a demon king. His desires nearly got the best of him and almost lost control. Souma snapped back to normal and he began to focus on suppressing his demon form. Eventually, his demonic features faded away and he returned to a normal human…

…

‘IT IS IN YOUR BLOOD!’

…

Those words echoed in his mind and he looked at the situation he was in. He stared at Serina’s voluptuous, naked body and FINALLY he gave her a blanket to cover herself and he left without saying a word…

Serina was completely confused but she was a bit shaken up from that event. Her body was still hot and she wanted to see more…

Souma completely left the inn and eventually Ojii-chan’s voice returned. The two didn’t speak of the event because it might bring a resurge on his desires once more, thus they focused on finding another person to talk about the cities.

Souma found a fairly decent demon merchant that didn’t matter if his customers were demons or humans but simply as customers. After he bought an item, Souma asked for details on the Maran Kingdom. The city he was in was actually called Ethros-Maran. The city that Ojii-chan was talking about was located in the northern territory of the Maran Kingdom, The city Voltros-Maran. It is quite a long distance and you would need a horse to get there faster.

Souma asked the merchant where he could buy a horse and Souma told him about the guardpost, where Captain Glen was stationed at. Souma’s face turned grim and reluctantly made his way to the guardpost…

Upon arriving at the Guardpost, Souma was halted by a guard, who then asked for his identification…

“Halt! State your name and reason for being at the Guardpost!” said the Demon Guard. His headgear completely concealed his face but somehow you could tell that they could see out of the slits that were on the helmet.

“I am Souma, and I am just a human looking for a horse for travel.” Souma simply gave the answers that the guards were asking for.

The Guards immediately tensed at the word, ‘human’ and they immediately apologized for being so rude to a human but Souma pardoned them.

“Err..Ha..ha...It’s fine...How much is a horse and can I buy it or do I have to rent it?” Souma asked a question in a nervous manner since the guards were a bit tense.

“Yes! Um, you can rent the horse here for 5 silvers a day but if you want to buy the horse, it is one gold piece!” The guard on the right spoke in a tense manner but then he was interrupted by the one on the left.

“Ah! But for you, we can lower the price because you are an honored guest!” The guard on the left was really on the edge.

Souma looked at them and felt slightly annoyed, partially because he almost lost control over his body but then he immediately looked at them…

“Okay...Don’t call me an ‘honored guest’. I haven’t done anything to be honorable about yet. I want you two to stop being so nervous around me. I don’t care how you act around the other humans, but around me you can be normal. Also, I would like to buy the horse for one gold piece, and here’s 2 extra gold pieces for you two.”

Souma handed the guards a total of three gold pieces and the guard on the right immediately left the post to retrieve the horse.

The remaining guard was a bit stiff but somehow he felt a bit calm around Souma.

“Hey guard, who’s the demon king and why are you so tense!” Souma tapped the guard on his shoulder and he nearly freaked.

The guard recovered from stumbling and finally spoke…

“Well...we’re the guards and we are sworn to always obey the Demon King, no matter who he is and he made it a rule to respect all humans...His majesty is Mirao-sama.” The guard was a bit nervous but Souma nodded his head…

‘Okay..his name is Mirao...and somehow there’s a rule that says humans are better...I’ll have to see more in the other cities...’

Souma continued to mumble to himself until one of the guard returned with his horse…

His horse looked like an ordinary horse but somehow...the horse sensed Souma’s demonic aura and began to violent reject Souma. The horse was backing away from Souma and ran away from the guards. Souma immediately dashed at the horse before the guards could even react and caught up to the horse with ease. Souma placed his hand on the horse and somehow the horse immediately stopped. The horse’s eyes flared in black and his skin color began to change. The guards raised their weapons at the horse but it wasn’t even done transforming. The horse’s mane began to produce black flames and the horse began to snort black flames out of its nose. The horse’s skin turned pitch black and the leather strap turned into black chains. Upon the horse’s legs, black metallic armor began to produce itself upon the horse and eventually covered the horse in black armor. The horse also grew a bit larger and looked more of a demonic being, rather than a horse.

Souma was astonished and the guards were about to approach the horse, but the horse simply rejected the guards and trotted next to Souma. The guards looked at Souma and they simply let the horse go to Souma…

“Haaa...what is this now…” Souma sighed at his situation but then he thought of something…

‘I think I can suppress this horse’s appearance the same way like my demonic form...’

Souma quickly got up the horse and placed his hand on the horse’s mane where black flames were spewing. The flames didn’t burn but they simply wrapped themselves around Souma’s hand. Souma began to focus on suppressing the horse’s demonic appearance and eventually the horse returned back to normal. The guards were clapping at Souma’s success and then he left.

As Souma was leaving Ethros-Maran, Glen Taichou was looking at Souma from the top of the guardpost tower…

‘Ohhh Souma~ You just get better and better!’ Glen wrapped her muscly arms in her armor and the other guards around Glen were completely nervous….

Souma rode off into the direction of Voltros-Maran, the Northern city of the Maran Kingdom. It is also where Lenia’s house is located at...
