Reunion! #7
I gripped the horns of Vanessa, who had fainted after being thoroughly handled by me for several hours, and slowly began to extract my Demonic Mana.
—Snap.
Because I was careful, the horns came off quite smoothly. I decided to collect these severed horns somewhere. With that, I removed both of them.
"Hmm."
I still didn't like the cross-section. Having something like this on a woman's forehead? It wasn't Hellboy, or rather, it was quite bothersome. She was becoming Hellgirl. Even though Vanessa had thick hair that could cover it, she herself probably wouldn't like having such a hideous thing hidden there.
Actually, she looked more attractive with the horns. As expected, a woman should have horns.
"Well then, Vanessa. Please work hard starting tomorrow."
Even though I had removed the horns, I stroked the forehead of Vanessa, who was still fast asleep, and healed the cross-section. It didn't seem like any more mana was leaking out.
"Wait a second."
A thought suddenly occurred to me, and I touched my own forehead.
"Hmm."
Was it because I had recovered my mana through constant sex? The bumpy cross-section had become a bit smoother. At this rate, the horns would grow back soon. They would grow little by little as my mana recovered.
"Alright then. A round of applause for Vanessa!"
—Clap, clap, clap!
—Clap, clap, clap!
—Clap, clap, clap!
The members of the Demon King's Castle gathered on the parade ground cheered for Vanessa, who was standing next to me. She had just declared that she would go on an espionage mission.
Infiltrating the human world to extract information was a very dangerous task. Vanessa, who had volunteered for it, was truly a hero prepared to sacrifice her body for our family.
"Keruk! Vanessa is amazing!"
"Grrr-ruk!"
"Gyu-sasat! Be careful!"
At those warm greetings,
"This... is a bit embarrassing."
Vanessa, her face slightly flushed, scratched her cheek in shyness. Even if they were monsters, they were all family in the Demon King's Castle. Seeing them send her off with such smiling faces, she couldn't help but feel good.
"Keruk! But where did the horns go!"
"Keruk-keruk! No horns!"
"Ah, that was temporarily removed to disguise myself as a human! They will grow back, so rest assured!"
"Keruk!"
Good.
Well, I gave a speech to the assembled soldiers, praised Vanessa a bit, and had Liliel recite the Patriotic Prayer.
"Ah, um! Another fine day has dawned! On a good day, one must... do good routines! One must support Vanessa well! That is all!"
As expected, the Patriotic Prayer has that improvised charm.
"Then, Vanessa. Let's get ready for the espionage mission thoroughly."
"Understood. I've already thought it all through, so the preparation itself won't take long."
"That's good. Now then! Let's finish with gymnastics and the military anthem!"
Since it was the morning roll call, we had to do what was required. We finished the roll call by doing gymnastics and singing the military anthem.
"Serineu and Necree, stay behind! This concludes the morning roll call! Each platoon leader, follow the instructions to begin the scheduled routine after breakfast! Everyone, dismissed to the barracks!"
The subordinates immediately entered the dungeon, and Serineu and Necree came over.
"Necree. Wash all the Dark Elves and gather them in the interrogation room. We're doing it again today."
"H-huut...!"
"It's a mandatory routine, so if you refuse, I'll punish you."
"I understand! I'll do it!"
"Then go inside and get them ready."
Today, the Dark Elves would have to go through the sexual torture routine that accompanied sexual shame again. Necree entered the dungeon with a bright red face, and I said to Serineu.
"Serineu."
"Yes."
"This time, the Pixies need to guide Vanessa to the human lands."
"Ugh... to the human lands, huh."
Serineu nodded as if she had expected it. She looked very anxious. But she immediately erased that anxiety and replied.
"Got it. It would be dangerous to send Vanessa alone. Even if it's scary, we Pixies should help. I'll do it!"
Oh! Look at that radiant smile!
"Vanessa! Serineu says she will help! What a good girl she is!"
"U-um... I remember the path roughly. So there's no need to force yourself to help..."
"Let's receive support from the Pixies until we leave. Isn't that better? You already know the usefulness of air support. And well, you won't be lonely until you leave the jungle."
Pixies are chatterboxes. She wouldn't be lonely on the way. Besides, reconnaissance is essential the closer you get to human lands.
"Understood."
Vanessa, convinced, nodded.
"Thank you, Serineu."
"It's nothing! You're going to the most dangerous place for our family! Of course, we have to help!"
"Ah..."
Serineu has grown up!
To think she would be so considerate!
"Then, Pixies, let's get ready to plan the operation with Vanessa. Vanessa, please pack the necessary luggage."
"Understood."
Things are going smoothly.
Now, as long as Vanessa goes out and brings back information about the Saintess, everything will be OK. What should I do once I advance into the human world? Should I start by occupying the Barony?
And if I increase my power by using the anti-angel factions... that would be perfect.
"Watch me, Carti."
If I achieve great results, I wanted to make sure to let Carti know, if no one else.
In the meantime, by pouring in resources, Carti had somehow succeeded in creating a reconnaissance base in the Middle World. The angels hadn't noticed this, and as long as she injected mana periodically, she would be able to observe the Middle World without any major problems.
Furthermore, succeeding in contacting Kuls was very encouraging. As long as she operated the Evil Eyes as carefully as possible and sent the information she obtained to Kuls, Kuls would expand his own power on his own.
She already knew that.
"...Brother Kuls."
Kuls is not a simple or weak demon. Inside him, there is a clear goal and ambition. He is also a being who knows how to use his brain.
The Duchess's judgment was wrong. If she had raised him properly in the Demon World, she could have made him a very useful general.
However, ironically, because the Duchess's judgment was wrong, she was able to send such a proper demon down to the Middle World. It was a very big stroke of luck. Therefore, she had to focus on this luck, but.
"Phew!"
The situation in the County is not good. Investing resources in the Middle World led to a decline in combat power, and demons who saw this opportunity were trying to invade the border one after another.
She is currently devoted only to defense in every way.
"If only I could kill them all...!"
Since Carti is currently focusing on espionage in the Middle World, she cannot command the war happening at the border. That was a huge stress. She would be able to relieve this annoyance if she could crush the invaders. All she does is spy on the Middle World.
"Still."
Watching Kuls is fun, so it's bearable to some extent. What information should she pass on next time?
The vast unexplored area in the east of the kingdom. That is Kuls's main base. It was very difficult to send an Evil Eye that far, but she succeeded in passing on useful information. If it's Kuls, he will definitely—
"General Carti! New movement has been detected!"
"What? What is it?"
"It seems that Commander Kuls intends to send a spy to the human world!"
"A spy!"
As expected, he's trying to move right away!
Carti immediately turned on the screen in that direction to check. She saw that Kuls was trying to send the female knight he had captured last time as a spy.
"Good! This is it! If I feed it to him, he should know how to use it! Brother Kuls is so clever!"
Beyond just obtaining information, he is trying to move actively to obtain new information based on it.
"Then."
The Goddess's Saintess is continuing to head east. The Barony adjacent to the unexplored area. The Baron there is of the anti-angel faction, and the Saintess intends to make the Barony a gathering place for the anti-angel faction and fight against the angels.
"But that's not the case..."
The Baron is not of the anti-angel faction. He is just disguising himself to look that way. She doesn't know where the Saintess got her information, but if she goes there, she will be caught by the Baron.
Before that, she must make Kuls strike first. If Kuls, who can dominate women, gets his hands on the Saintess, it will be a huge benefit.
"Good."
The female knight Kuls sent as a spy this time. Let's support her. She just needs to send an Evil Eye to pass on information and help him capture the Saintess.
"Serineu! And Vanessa!"
The preparation is finished.
"This mission will be very dangerous! But I believe you will definitely succeed! Now, depart!"
Now Vanessa will go to the human world.
As a spy to the place that was once her hometown.
"Serineu. Help Vanessa well. Be as careful as possible with the humans."
"Yes!"
"A reliable answer. Very good."
"Who do you think I am? I'm the leader of the Pixies, the leader."
Serineu, puffing out her chest, tapped her breasts.
How cute.
"Hehehe, right."
The credibility of the Pixies is 100%.
"Vanessa, please be careful not to get caught as well."
"I won't do anything so clumsy."
"I'm sure you won't. Ah, and when you return, I'll do it for you again. Yes? You know what I mean?"
"Khuut...!"
A blushing face.
"If you say that, don't you want to come back quickly!"
"That's only if you've done your job properly."
"You're strict. Then, let's depart."
"Yes. Go."
With that, Vanessa and the Pixies left the parade ground.
"I'm going!"
"I'll be back!"
"Stay well, Demon King!"
I waved back at the Pixies who were greeting me energetically.
"Yes! You guys come back safely too!"
The Pixies would guide Vanessa to a sort of border area and then return. From then on, Vanessa would have to do it alone.
I stood there waving until the figures of Vanessa and the Pixies completely disappeared.
"Will it be okay... Vanessa. It'll be dangerous if she gets caught by humans."
Irene, standing next to me, said as if she were anxious.
"I hope she doesn't get caught."
"Of course, she should."
