"I apologize, Lady Kurumi, I'm late returning."
"It's fine, I know you had a mission."
Kurumi looked awkwardly at Sera, who was prostrating herself in front of her. The other party's enthusiasm, and all these formalities, made her a bit unaccustomed. However, seeing her joyful return, it seemed her mission had changed!
"Due to the changes in the village, it took me nearly half a month to get familiar with the new regulations. I am truly too dull."
Seeing Sera's remorseful expression, Kurumi was immediately speechless. The village rules she had discussed with Hellboy at the time amounted to over a thousand, almost comparable to a certain school's regulations. It seemed she had underestimated these guys' learning ability.
"This time, my mission is to serve Lady Kurumi and Lady Eucliwood well, and not allow any evildoers an opportunity to harass them."
At this point, Sera stood up excitedly, her chest, which was a size larger than Kurumi's, jiggling like giant, fleshy puddings. Seeing this, Eucliwood, who was drinking tea nearby, placed both hands over her heart, feeling if she should use the power of her Spirit Words to make all busty people in this world disappear.
"Well then! I'll leave it to you."
Kurumi, not wanting to interrupt Sera's passionate speech, could only say this. After all, this pure and lovely girl was quite adorable when she was being silly, and could provide some daily eye candy.
"Yes! Please leave it to me!"
Hearing Kurumi's words, Sera bowed to Kurumi and Eucliwood, saying solemnly.
"Ding-dong!"
"Someone's here, I'll get the door."
Hearing the doorbell, Sera said as she went to open the door for the guest.
"Excuse me! Is Eucliwood Hellscythe here? There's a letter for her."
"Yes! I'll sign for it!"
"Then, please sign here. Thank you."
Kurumi, with her excellent hearing, heard this conversation and felt something was off. This plot point shouldn't be happening! The Night King had already gone to 'rest' according to the information Kurumi provided. Because of such a major event as the queen's 'assassination', the entire Billie Eilish was under martial law, and Ellie El couldn't come out temporarily. So who would be writing to Eucliwood?
"Is it a friend?"
Kurumi asked Eucliwood, who was looking at the letter she had just received. She respected Eucliwood's choices. If Eucliwood wanted her to know, Eucliwood would tell her. If Eucliwood didn't want her to know, she wouldn't force it. Everyone needed privacy, and being too intrusive could easily lead to resentment from the other party.
"It's Neguleria Nebiros, my good friend."
Hearing Eucliwood's words, Kurumi understood the reason. It seemed the commotion from the previous period had already caught her attention, and she was likely investigating whether Eucliwood's life was going well. Otherwise, she would have taken Eucliwood away long ago. Why write to Eucliwood now? If she wanted to see Eucliwood, why didn't she come? She even knew the address. Kurumi didn't believe she couldn't find Ayumi's house.
"Neguleria says the Underworld is very dangerous right now, and she told me not to return for the time being."
After reading the letter, Eucliwood explained the contents to Kurumi, but this left Kurumi a bit puzzled. There was no mention of turmoil in the Underworld in the original plot! What exactly was going on? It seemed she needed to make a trip to the Underworld to investigate.
Thinking this, Kurumi reassured the worried Eucliwood and began to consider which of the Underworld's strongest, Neguleria, she needed to communicate with.
"Kurumi, listen to me, today I met a very cute fairy-san."
"Shut up, sow, can't you see the two ladies are discussing something?"
"I'm so sorry."
Kicking Ayumi, who had suddenly run from the corridor into the living room shouting, Sera said with a murderous expression. Poor Ayumi, the submissive type, was completely suppressed and dared not show the slightest defiance. Hmm! It seemed her masochistic illness was incurable.
But Ayumi's words caught Kurumi's attention. Damn it! Things were happening one after another. The unknown attacks hadn't been figured out yet, and now a Chris had popped up. But it looked like the other party's curse hadn't been lifted, otherwise, there would be more fun.
Thinking this, Kurumi decided to follow Ayumi to school tomorrow. She planned to deal with Chris's matter first, and then go to greet Eucliwood's good friend, Neguleria Nebiros, the one known as the strongest in the Underworld. Her figure… cough cough! Kurumi planned to investigate, and also ask about some things in the Underworld.
But while Kurumi was slowly preparing to follow the plot, the Underworld had already changed hands, or rather, returned to its true owner.
"Greetings, Your Majesty Hades."
"No need for formalities. From the moment you pledged your allegiance, you became my, Hades', retainers, and thus my subjects."
Sitting on the throne, looking at the kneeling people of the Underworld with a queen-like lazy and cold gaze, Hades declared this.
"Where are your strongest warriors? I am very curious."
Hades had already interrogated the Megalos about the Seventh Abyss. She was quite interested in recruiting these guys as Underworld Warriors to increase her subordinates.
"I apologize, Your Majesty, Neguleria Nebiros disappeared centuries ago. We have no idea of her whereabouts."
The leading middle-aged man reported timidly to Hades.
"Then so be it. If she were alive, I would truly want to meet her, but if she's dead, it simply means she was too weak and not worthy of becoming my subordinate."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Hades said dismissively, but the next second, as if suddenly remembering something, she looked out of the great hall with interest.
"I heard that you once fought against that magic kingdom called Billie Eilish, correct?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Then, my subjects, who among you is willing to join me in avenging our past humiliation?"
Hearing Hades' declaration, the kneeling people of the Underworld began to waver. They were also shaken by Hades' words, but upon thinking of her world-destroying power, they instantly became fanatical. Regarding the attack on Billie Eilish, they were the victims at the time. They also wanted revenge, but unfortunately, the strongest Seventh Abyss had issues, so they could only defend the Underworld and couldn't Fanji Billie Eilish. But now Hades was offering them an opportunity.
"We are willing to fight to the death with Your Majesty! (XN)"
While the Underworld people were ignited with fury by Hades, a two-colored haired young man looked at his clansmen with a bitter smile.
"This is absolutely terrible! No! I must let Lady Neguleria and Lady You know about this."
Thinking this, the young man quietly hid himself in the crowd, not letting anyone discover him, waiting for an opportunity to escape.
"My subjects! Take up your weapons and prove to those arrogant and ridiculous girls that you are not weaklings!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
