Volume 9, Chapter 1, Prologue
The Great Wisdom Heart Sutra states: "Beholding the Perfection of Wisdom of the Bodhisattva, One Deeply Dwell in Prajna Paramita, See That All Five Skandhas Are Empty and Thus Be Free of All Suffering, O Shariputra, Form Does Not Differ from Emptiness, Emptiness Does Not Differ from Form, Form is Emptiness..."
I've been chanting the Heart Sutra silently in my mind for quite some time now.
Even though Ryuujo-san, the dragon lady, teleported back to Kazanzakis-san's house with the help of Juroujin's power just a while ago, I can't seem to take my mind off it.
She has an incredible fragrance about her.
Furthermore, she has a great body.
Juroujin has been busy treating the Dragon King Gouou, so he hasn't left Kazanzakis's residence.
On the other side of the table, Aoi, Mitsuki, Miyabi Princess, and Murasaki are all staring at us with intense expressions.
It's incredibly intimidating.
Colonel Kunihito was about to enter the room but seemed to sense the atmosphere and decided against it.
This is where I'd like to make a witty comment to break the tension.
Ryuujo-san noticed Aoi and the others' reactions.
"What are those women over there?"
Ryuujo-san asked me.
"They are... my wives,"
Aoi and the others all replied.
Huh? They're still just fiancées, you know.
And to add, Murasaki is actually a guy.
But I'm too scared to say that.
"I see, I see. If you're the , there must be quite a few of them, I suppose."
I don't think I'm ugly, but I don't consider myself a super handsome guy either.
I guess it's because the first one who came was a self-proclaimed Demon Lord, so by comparison, I might appear handsome to them.
Or maybe, back in the day, guys who looked like me were considered handsome?
I really don't know.
"You becoming a wife is not a problem. However..."
Aoi said on behalf of everyone.
"I see, I see. You're saying you have to consider your predecessors," I replied.
"Yes," Aoi said, and the other four nodded.
"In that case, I have something good for you."
Ryuujo-san took out a small bottle from her pocket, containing small golden pills.
"These have been preserved just like mine, as they are. It's the strongest secret medicine of the Dragon Clan."
"The strongest secret medicine?"
Miyabi Princess asked.
"Yes, if the consumes this, the effect is guaranteed. The effect will last after consumption. If we join, we will experience several times the pleasure..."
Ryuujo-san looked around at everyone.
"Huh?"
What is that?
Is it like an aphrodisiac?
"Maa! Maa!"
Aoi and the others' hostility suddenly disappeared, and they instantly became friendly.
Huh?
Is that really okay?
Is reconciliation achieved so easily?
"In any case, since the probably has many wives, I prepared this as a gift. This way, your predecessors will also be very satisfied."
Wow, Aoi and the others are blushing and seem really happy.
"What about me?"
"If the wives are happy, then the husband will be happy too," Ryuujo-san said proudly.
Aoi and the others nodded in agreement.
This is like a birds-of-prey situation...
I'm starting to sweat nervously.
