Kurumi looked at Yuu, who had suddenly frozen, and asked with some confusion. The two were playing a co-op game, and Yuu's pause meant Kurumi's character couldn't move.
"No, it's nothing!"
Just now, a person from the Underworld had used a special wave to notify all people of the Underworld to return to the Underworld. Because the other party didn't mention what major event had occurred, Yuu didn't know that something big was about to happen in the Underworld.
"Alright! If you need any help, please tell me."
Knowing that prying too much into others' privacy would cause resentment, Kurumi didn't press further. Yuu also smiled and nodded. Ever since Kurumi rescued her from the hell of being unable to speak or express emotions, Yuu's emotional expressions had become increasingly rich. Coupled with Kurumi's recent guidance on how to use magic, Yuu could now slowly use magic to do what she enjoyed.
"Where did Sera go? I haven't seen her for several days."
Hearing Yuu's question, Kurumi's hand paused. There was a lot going on here. Recently, the higher-ups of those guys hadn't been very honest, so Kurumi decided to visit their village and, while she was at it, clean up these pests for Hellboy. Most of the vampire ninjas who were out were now back in the village. Hellboy, spitting blood, signed a non-aggression pact with Kurumi, and then, under Kurumi's strong suggestion (a friendly smile), began to revise some regulations. It is said that afterward, Hellboy's blood-spitting volume exceeded his usual by two times; he was practically gushing blood from his mouth, not just spitting it.
So now Sera and the beautiful girl Sarashubati, who had somewhat strange interests, had both been summoned back to the village. They were probably adapting to and learning new regulations and new positions, and wouldn't be back for at least a month.
"She should be continuing her training! You see her cooking..."
"Hmm! I understand."
Kurumi changed the subject, but this sentence was very effective. Yuu shivered and didn't ask any further questions. Yuu's reaction wasn't surprising. That one time, feeling bored, Kurumi suddenly became very curious about how terrifying Sera's cooking could possibly be. So Kurumi had Sera cook once. Sure enough, she lived up to the talent for poison that heaven had given her. That pot of dark cuisine almost turned Ayumi, the zombie, into ashes. Kurumi curiously put a diamond into it, and it instantly melted away, leaving not a trace. To be able to cook to this extent, that's also a kind of talent!
"San-chan, is Great Teacher here?"
Just as Kurumi and Yuu were deep in their game, Haruna walked in, angrily dragging a battered and bruised Ayumi, and spoke to Kurumi, who was engrossed in the game and couldn't extricate herself.
"Hmm! She seems to have returned to Billie Eilish. She said she had too much work piled up and needed to deal with it quickly, otherwise her room would be overflowing with documents."
Remembering Ellie El's helpless expression when she left, Kurumi couldn't help but chuckle. She suddenly recalled how she had tricked her five older sisters when she first became the God King, leaving a room full of parchment scrolls for them. She had been so clever at that time; she couldn't help but give herself a thumbs-up.
"Eh! What a disaster."
Hearing the news that Ellie El had returned, Haruna kicked Ayumi into the conversation and wailed.
"What's wrong? Is something the matter?"
Feeling that if Haruna continued like this, she and Yuu wouldn't be able to continue their game, Kurumi pressed pause and turned to ask Haruna.
"It's all Ayumi's fault! She broke Mistilteinn, and now Great Teacher, the only one who can repair Mistilteinn, has left. It's an unprecedented disaster!"
Haruna said dramatically. For her, the damage to her magical weapon was more urgent than the sky falling; it concerned her academic credits.
"I'm sorry, I was wrong. Can you please stop hitting me?"
Ayumi, with a bruised and swollen face, could no longer clearly see who was in front of her. As the figure approached, she quickly hugged her head, afraid of another beating.
"Eh! I'm fine."
She didn't expect to not be beaten; instead, someone was treating her. When the swelling on her face disappeared and didn't affect her vision, she opened her eyes and realized it was her.
"What's wrong? Did your brain break?"
Kurumi looked at Ayumi, who was staring at her, and said with a headache. This child couldn't have gone silly, could she?
"Tell me! How did you break Haruna's weapon?"
Because Ayumi's magic power was Yuu's magic power, if one of them had a small problem, Kurumi had to ask. This concerned whether the contract between Yuu and Kurumi was truly successful.
"It's nothing! It's just that a power suddenly appeared in my body, and when I use Mistilteinn, this power slowly increases."
Kurumi carefully examined Ayumi's body and finally breathed a sigh of relief. These should be instances of Yuu's magic power overflowing because she couldn't suppress it. Fortunately, as Yuu's control became stronger, such situations became rarer. If Yuu hadn't learned to control magic power with Kurumi, Ayumi would now be a magic bomb that could explode at any time, and it would be infinite. Exploding and then resurrecting, exploding and then resurrecting, an endless cycle of death and resurrection. At that point, even the strongest mindset would probably collapse.
Ah! How wonderful! Feeling Kurumi's slightly cool, small hand gently touching her body like a massage, and with the two of them less than a meter apart, Ayumi could clearly smell the faint fragrance emanating from Kurumi.
"How disgusting."
"Hmm! Ayumi is really disgusting."
Looking at Ayumi, who suddenly had a nosebleed and fell to the ground, and seeing her lecherous expression, Kurumi knew she wasn't thinking good things. Kurumi looked at Ayumi with disgust, wiping her hands with a towel. Haruna echoed her from the side, while Yuu directly turned her head away, no longer looking at Ayumi, showing how powerful that expression's destructive force was.
While Kurumi was enjoying her cheerful daily life here, the Underworld on the other side was currently facing a crisis of being conquered.
"Damn it, they're so powerful! If the adults of the 'Seventh Abyss' weren't absent, we wouldn't have lost so badly."
A fox-headed creature wearing a Zhongshan suit said to another wild boar-headed companion.
"There's nothing we can do. If this continues, we'll be completely wiped out. This is even more critical than the Billie Eilish invasion."
The wild boar-headed creature said helplessly, puffing on a cigar.
"You two are really idle!"
As the two Megalos were complaining, a tall, silver-haired beauty in black armor walked up to them.
"What? How did you break through our defenses?"
The fox-headed creature looked at the beauty in front of it in surprise. It was truly unbelievable. It remembered that there were over a hundred thousand of its compatriots resisting in front of it. How did this person appear here?
"Minos, stop playing and quickly kill them to complete His Majesty's mission!"
At this moment, a brave beauty with short, light-golden hair also appeared beside the silver-haired beauty.
"I know, even if you are my older sister, don't rush me, okay? I still want to have some fun."
Minos, being urged by her older sister, helplessly glanced at her rigid sister, then showed a sadistic smile, licked her alluring red lips, and watched the two Megalos with a joyful smile on her face.
"Star Puppet Strings!"
Countless invisible threads sliced the two Megalos into countless pieces of slag, and seeing this scene, Minos's joyful smile deepened.
"Tch! How disgusting."
Another beauty with large black wings behind her looked at Minos as if she were looking at large, non-combustible garbage. She was extremely annoyed by this guy's interests.
"Alright, don't mind this guy's interests! Don't forget His Majesty's mission; we still need to conquer the Underworld of this world. Although the enemies are so weak that I'm not very interested, all of this is for His Majesty."
The brave beauty said this expressionlessly, but from the fervor in her eyes, even if that lord told her to die, she would draw her sword and commit suicide.
"This is art! You, a clumsy bird who only goes straight, would definitely not understand the beauty of art. I, the great one, won't bother arguing with you."
Minos looked at the beauty with the big wings with disdain, twirling a strand of her silver hair, scoffing at her barbaric fighting style.
"You!"
Hearing Minos's disdain and contempt, the big-winged beauty's forehead veins all bulged, and a scorching flame ignited around her, saying to Minos, "I'm going to roast you into charcoal."
"Bring it on! Who's afraid of whom?"
Just as the two were about to fight, the short-haired beauty next to them stopped the farce with a punch to each of their heads.
"If you two keep this up, I'll report to His Majesty and have you both spend some time in the Eighth Hell."
"Uh! Sorry, we were wrong!" X2
"Let's go! Continue to complete the mission given by His Majesty."
"Yes!" X2
