Yuki stared with a cold smirk at Hinata as she discussed with Shizue the possibility of being tricked by Yuuki into doing all sorts of things and she remained in disbelief… He was after all the man she was summoned along with to this magical world and never mistrusted, but who would have thought that he betrayed her a long time ago… In fact, the reason she didn't stay with Shizue and instead decided to travel on her own was all because of Yuuki's subtle manipulation…

"Now the important question is, how do you plan to pay us back?" Asked Yuki with a greedy look on his face which creeped Hinata out. However, she put on a brave face and asked "What do you want?"

"Hmm…" Yuki pretended as if he was pondering on a huge dilemma when in reality he already had the answer and was only trying to stress Hinata some more…

Hinata and Shizue understood this as well from the evil look on his face, and eventually, Yuki shot Hinata a toothy grin and said "I want you to become my maid"

Hinata's face froze, she expected many things, to be used as a fighter to deal with his enemies, or protect this town… however she never expected that he actually just wanted her to be his maid

Her face turning red from embarrassment, Hinata yelled at Yuki "I won't do that!"

Yuki simply closed his ears and said to Shizue with a smile "Take your time convincing her, because the other alternative is a fate worse than death"

The two girls could sense a terrible wickedness when they stared at Yuki's eerie green eyes…' He's serious… it seems like Yuki is still mad at Hinata' thought Shizue before she promised herself that she had to convince her one way or another…

Indeed, Yuki wasn't Rimuru who would forgive anyone just like that. For him, punishment can't be avoided! And his next target was also one of the individuals that had to be punished for her actions…

His target was of course Mjurran, the Majin that cast the anti-magic barrier which resulted in them losing the fight… Thankfully with Rimuru and his followers evolving, they can now handle this level of threat easily…

…

After arriving in front of Mjurran's cell, Yuki nodded at her with a playful smile completely different from his cold face a few moments ago that creeped out the orc guards…

"Yo, Majin-chan, how are you enjoying your freedom?" Asked Yuki while staring at the shackles and the anti-magic barriers covering Mjurran's body and the orc overhearing this couldn't help but think 'Is Yuki-sama crazy? What freedom could she have in this unescapable cell?'

However, different than his thoughts, Mjurran calmly smiled and said to Yuki "Thank you for freeing me from his control, this is indeed better than I used to be"

'I guess she's also crazy' thought the orc guard before he noticed Yuki glaring at him and he ran away quickly…

"Now then, you caused us quite some trouble… how do you plan to repay us?" Asked Yuki while staring at her with an intense look in his eyes like a predator which made Mjurran uncomfortable as she covered her chest.

Meanwhile, Yuki was simply thinking 'She's good at magic, having her as an addition to my forces will be good'

"I-I'm willing to offer you my head to pay for my sins" spoke Mjurran with a nervous tone which Yuki didn't catch on as he simply stared at her weirdly "What head? I didn't mean you should repay us that way… damn your mind is so dirty"

"My mind is dirty?" Mjurran's lived for a long time, and she instantly realized what Yuki was referring to, and her body suddenly started shaking as her face reddened in embarrassment making her look even more beautiful

"I mean yea… I was asking how we should make use of your talents in magic and you are directly talking about giving heads and whatnot… How shocking" Spoked Yuki while opening his mouth pretending to be in shock… Although Mjurran was further embarrassed by the gesture and her face turned into a tomato…

"FUFUFU- oh damn, I'm starting to get infected by Milim…" Yuki chuckled slightly after seeing Mjurran's reaction but he realized that he was laughing like Milim which was a huge hit to his pride!

'I infect people, not the other way around!' After reaffirming his twisted values in his heart of heart, he said "Ahum, I should stop teasing you now, you seem like someone who could be trusted, however that trust is something you should earn from the other citizens, don't disappoint me"

Seeing the serious look on Yuki's face, Mjurran understood that he meant what he was saying and she couldn't believe that she was getting another chance in life after all she did to them which made her eyes water slightly…

Then Yuki called for the guard to open the doors of the cell and led Mjurran to meet with Benimaru and the others and tried to convince them of her usefulness which apparently wasn't that hard since they saw how great her magic was. Although they still didn't trust her but that was something that only time could fix…

Meanwhile, Razen was left to Diablo and Kayle to deal with, and he wasn't having fun at all in his cell...

"Yuki, I need to leave, there's something urgent I need to attend to" Spoke Milim hurriedly which surprised Yuki as he asked "Is there something wrong?"

Milim suddenly started fidgeting and playing with her eyes before she said "N-n-no nothing, anyways talk to you later!" Before she quickly jumped into the sky leaving a huge hole on the ground and an even bigger frown on Yuki's face

"This little tank, she actually dares lie to me…" Yuki glared at Milim's disappearing figure silently before he turned away and went to handle to rest of the troubles… After all they had 30000 prisoners left and just feeding them would cost a lot, and he wasn't opening a charity for his enemies any time soon so he was definitely going to starve them…

...

Meanwhile, the reason Milim left hurriedly was the same reason the other demon lords were moving as well, it was because a meeting was initiated by Clayman and Luminous since Yuki was involved with Leon, and infighting between demon lords wasn't allowed…

…

"Leon, how could you let your disgusting subordinate cause so much trouble, don't you care at all about your position as a demon lord?" Yelled Clayman but Leon simply stared at him coldly and said "Yuki's not my subordinate"

'Great, this makes things easier' thought Clayman with a cold smile before he said "Good, then I suggest that we eliminate such an uncontrollable threat before—"

"He's my friend" Leon suddenly interrupted Clayman with the same cold look on his face and it made the room fall silent at the shocking revelation before Guy jumped out of his seat and said "Leeeeon, how could you betray me with someone else"

Leon frowned at Guy and decided it was best not to respond to this weirdo… Meanwhile, Roy valentine who was standing as a demon lord in place of Luminous suddenly slammed the table and spoke

"That insolent man is treating a nation of monsters and causing too much trouble for the world, this can't be tolerated"

Guy stared at Luminous silently no one that she was probably attracted here because of her hidden identity being the true leader of the holy empire Ruberious before he turned to Roy and Clayman and said "It has been a while since someone awakened as a true demon lord, we should discuss that first before we discuss Yuki"

Guy's words made the people present frown slightly, but not all of them understood the huge gap between a true demon lord and a normal demon lord… That difference was too huge to be crossed by mere numbers…

"I think we should see if these two are worthy of being added to the ranks of demon lords" Spoke Leon suddenly in favor of Yuki which made Guy even more jealous and soon after arguments started ensuing and they didn't arrive to any agreements… some were in favor of adding Yuki and Rimuru such as Carrion, while others were completely disinterested like Dino…

However, surprisingly, Milim sided with Clayman which was beyond the expectations of the other demon lords and no one knew how the situation was going to evolve from here on out after that…

….

In the western alliance, the multiple kingdoms were having a meeting to discuss the rising threat of the monsters!

The king of Falmuth, the king of Doran, and multiple other kings including some strong ones like the Rosso family attended this meeting.

"Our army actually fell for those monsters…" spoke the king of Falmuth with a shocked look on his face, they actually lost their guardian and it was a huge blow to the foundation of their kingdom…

"I think we should launch a crusade against them" Spoke Granbell Rosso, the ruler of the kingdom of Siltrosso

'This is a good chance to get rid of Hinata and weaken Luminous's rule' he thought with a cold look In his eyes as countless schemes started running through his head

"I agree with Granbell, we should eliminate this threat before it spread to our kingdoms and devour us…"

After further discussions, the many kings reached an agreement and decided to plan for their eventual attack…

'Mobilizing the Clerics of the Seven Luminaries will be easy for this purpose but I should consult with Mariabell first and see if she has any ideas…' He thought as he went back to his kingdom.

This man was actually an awakened hero! He fought once against luminous and lost to her and decided to work for her as one of the Clerics of the Seven Luminaries. However, he never truly discarded his ambitions of getting rid of the demon lords as he considered them evil.

Not to mention that 10 years ago, he had a new addition to his family, a granddaughter that was named Mariabell. This granddaughter of his was very gifted from a young age and together they started manipulating the world in hope of ruling it through the economy.

The reason this was possible was that his granddaughter was actually a reincarnated otherworlder, and she was gifted with a unique skill… Greed!

….

Meanwhile, Yuki didn't know anything about these events that he stirred, after all he didn't even know that most of these characters existed. However, if he knew… he would have only found it logical why he didn't get that unique skill Greed when he came to this world… It was already taken!

"So, what's your decision?" Asked Yuki to Hinata that was removed from her chains and the latter shot him an embarrassed look before she said through her gritted teeth "I'm willing to become your maid, but I won't allow you to do anything indecent to me, that's my bottom line!"

"What's wrong with these girls? All of them have dirty minds" Spoke Yuki with a holy look on his face that had traces of disappointment at Hinata's thinking which made her doubt herself and ended up saying "Sorry…"

However, she didn't realize that Yuki was screaming inside his head 'Damn it, I will eventually get her…'
