"Maybe it's Belphegor's followers? Those guys have been more aggressive lately... I can't believe they would do such a small thing just to piss me off."
Instead of thinking there was an intruder entering his castle, Leohart did think it was an intruder. But not from outside the Faction, but rather from within because the Demon Lord Faction was actually not all under his control. The faction was split into two, with most of the younger generation supporting Leohart and others like the older generation supporting Belphegor.
Thinking of that skull, Leohart who was not in a very good mood after hearing of Gald's death ‒ his mood became even worse... Even so, he maintained his composure in front of his subordinates.
"Your majesty's conjecture is most likely correct...after all if it's a person from outside the Faction, there's no way they could have gotten inside the castle this far without alerting the guards and the castle's security mechanisms."
Unless that person had an ability similar to his, or perhaps another ability stronger...
Belfear could do something similar with the ability to hide his presence. However, among all the demons in the Demon Realm, Belfear believed that only he was the best in this field. ―Except for the High Class Demon who made a pact with him and gave him this ability, Wraith.
But there was no way a demon that old would pull a childish prank like stealing food.
"Forget it, Belfear. It's just food theft... Have the servants clean it up and deliver new food."
Leohart was too lazy to care about small matters like this when he had other, more serious problems to think about.
Belfear knew this, he obeyed Leohart's ‒ however he was still vigilant and just in case he would check the entire castle.
Unfortunately it was useless because the intruder was none other than Bella who had currently chosen one of the empty bedrooms in the castle and occupied it without anyone knowing.
"Ugh... There are no beautiful girls sleeping with me. I'm starting to miss my girlfriends in the other world... Well, I'll make up for it by getting another beautiful girl in this world."
"Zest and the others can wait. I'll get Laila first."
Bella hugged the bolster and smiled before closing her eyes on the bed. All her clothes were placed on the table and she slept naked. What if someone entered her bedroom? Bella wasn't worried because with her original power recovery rate now, she had separated the room she was sleeping in into a separate dimension.
...In short, she is now sleeping in a parallel space.
After recovering more of her Demon God power in the future, Bella laughed out loud at the thought of Eiji being forced to kneel and lick her feet.
"Wait, why should I let a man lick my pretty feet? I must be too tired... Better get some sleep."
...
The morning was bright, just like the mood of Eiji who woke up with beautiful girls beside him. Mio hugged his left arm, Rias hugged his right arm. On the other side were Maria and Akeno who each hugged one of his legs. The girls were naked, last night they and Eiji didn't have sex at all. Well, they mostly just had oral sex where each of them licked Eiji's rod excitedly.
Girls like Mio, Rias and Akeno who had big breasts also gave Eiji combined fellatio. ―They were also kissing him everywhere as if they were in lust ‒ and that was actually not wrong because after seeing the incredible power Eiji showed yesterday. In addition to making the girls amazed, those who were already in a relationship with Eiji were aroused. So at night they vented their sexual desires on a man.
The man was Eiji of course who 'reluctantly' let the girls eat him. His appearance in the form of Anos ‒ somehow made the devils/demons lust for him even more. Seriously? Unfortunately not all the girls joined the exercise, last night Kurumi slept in Yuki's bedroom, Lucia and Sheila seemed to be busy with their work, Noel... Well, Noel is still too shy ‒ no need to force her, let her take the initiative herself. Sona seemed to be busy giving Tsubaki certain lessons. Speaking of Tsubaki, Eiji certainly noticed the girl had dressed up prettier - at dinner, she did the wife gesture that gave her more rice and side dishes on his plate. ―Not only that, several times, Tsubaki deliberately pressed her soft body against his and exposed her white nape which was now clearly visible because she changed her hairstyle into a ponytail.
Eiji knew Tsubaki was giving him codes, but he pretended not to notice. Just for a moment, he wanted to enjoy himself being licked by Tsubaki ‒ it felt good. After all, who is a man who doesn't like to be licked by a beautiful girl?
...It certainly wasn't him.
"Chuu... Chuu... Hmm... Slurp, slurp..."
Letting Maria lick his morning wood lasciviously, the girl woke up earlier than the other girls, her tongue sliding on every corner of his penis ‒ it felt so good. Eiji moaned slightly which made the loli ero succubus giggle
"Eiji-san~ Slurp... Good morning~ Slurp, slurp..."
"Morning Maria. Continue."
"Hnm~ Chuu, okay~"
What a good morning. Eiji felt a little sorry for Basara who slept alone, just a little. But with his perception, last night he knew Basara was training alone outside. The protagonist was most likely driven to become stronger after seeing someone of the same age who was stronger than him.
Actually, Eiji also knew the details of what the other girls were doing. For example Sona was busy talking about something with Sheila and Lucia, and shortly after that she taught Tsubaki an effective trick to seduce him. The girl told her queen that he liked a woman's belly and ass, this was proven when Eiji often slapped her ass and squeezed her waist during sex. ―Although it's true... Is it necessary to tell Tsubaki this? However, Eiji pretended not to know and looked forward to how Tsubaki would seduce him again in the future.
In the original work, Tsubaki falls in love with Rias' knight Yuuto. Not sure if they actually dated because Yuuto didn't seem interested in women, he was actually more interested in having a close relationship ‒ very close to the protagonist Issei. Eiji remembered one time Yuuto turned into a girl due to the effects of a drug or something. He and Issei...
Anyway, before getting up, Eiji remembered to check the reward first so that it wouldn't accumulate in the future.
'Miss System.'
¶{Ding! It was detected that the host had changed the plot in the [Sister New Devil] franchise.}
¶{Successfully changed the plot of [Sister New Devil] by 75% by capturing Sheila, Lucia, and Zest. You've also convinced Ramusas to accelerate progress on his plan. There is another butterfly effect caused by the female protagonist, the plot is further accelerated!}
{Ding! Congratulations host, you've gotten 2 Potions of Ascension.}
Potions of Ascension? Sounded like something from a game. Eiji opened the system interface and saw what the Potion of Ascension looked like. It turned out to be a bottle with a glowing red liquid.
According to the description of the system, if one drank this ‒ any potential, talent, or hidden power within one's body would be fully activated.
"..."
Instead of glancing at himself, Eiji actually glanced at Maria who was busy drinking his murky liquid. He also glanced at Mio who was still asleep, the girl's breasts pinching his arm.
So soft...
'Is the Potion of Ascension useful for me?
¶{With your current strength. It won't be very useful. The Potion of Ascension is actually most effectively used on someone who is neither too strong nor weak. Essentially someone who hasn't fully developed to the point that this potion can awaken more of the hidden power in one's body.}
'Doesn't that mean this reward is useless to me? You gave me...'
¶{Random, host. Random.}
'I can't believe it! And the amount you gave me was even two bottles that seemed to hint at two specific people around me.'
Eiji knew it was most likely Mio and Maria. These two girls met the most favorable requirements to drink the Potion of Ascension. Of course, there were also other girls. But the hidden power in the bodies of these two girls was perfect to be awakened by the Potion of Ascension.
In the end, this reward was given specifically to his girls.
Eiji suspected that the stronger he got with all the character cards he had gotten so far ‒ the harder it was for him to increase his own power. That was normal of course, but even with the system?
Miss System wanted to complain. Even the system needed resources to issue all those rewards. There were also SOPs that she had to do carefully in order to... Cough, her host wouldn't understand.
...
After everyone woke up and had breakfast. Noel told them that Ramusas asked them all to gather in the throne room. Eiji knew the plot, he had even checked the plot changes. What exactly was the purpose of bringing Mio to the Demon Realm? The purpose was to resolve the conflict caused by the insecurity of the two Factions...more precisely the three major Factions since the Demon Council was also included in it.
As everyone knew. Mio was the daughter of Wilbert, the former Demon Lord who had previously died. That was what most people knew. As the strongest Demon Lord, Wilbert had many followers who were still very loyal to him, even after he died. Many of Wilbert's fanatics desperately hoped that the person who became Wilbert's successor and the next leader of the Moderate Faction would be Wilbert's descendant.
This was where Mio came in, the girl was the most potential Demon Queen candidate. And the people of the two factions felt threatened. Not by Mio's power, but by the number of people supporting the girl to become the next leader of the Demon Realm. The number of people who supported a girl to lead a demon nation and world actually reached 60% of the total population in Demon Realm.
That was what Ramusas who was sitting on the throne said and looked at those who were now standing on the red carpet.
Mio who had just learned more of the big picture about herself felt a little pressure from the expectations of those people. She also wondered... How long will her father pretend to be her uncle? Ramusas must still think she did not know his true identity.
"Ramusas-dono, you're not thinking of forcing Mio to ascend the throne, are you?"
The question came from Basara who was a little annoyed that many people were urging his younger sister to become what they wanted.
"Jin's son, Basara Toujou... You misunderstand. I have no desire to make Mio ascend the throne."
Ramusas looked at Basara coldly. There was an invisible pressure from his body that made Basara tense. Eiji smiled at this scene, in the original work, although Ramusas and Basara's relationship did not look good on the surface ‒ the former was a tsundere who secretly helped his daughter and Basara. Ramusas actually appreciated Basara because in the original work not only was his son Jin Toujou, Basara was strong and had protected Mio many times which made the old man a little friendly with him.
But now? Basara is nothing more than Jin Toujou's son, and the son of Ramusas' younger sister. Basara's power is also overshadowed by Eiji's, so Ramusas' impression on the protagonist is not very good. In addition ‒ it was Basara's existence that made Ramusas' younger sister Sapphire disappear.
...In short, the woman didn't want to be suspected of being Basara's mother and caused problems for Wilbert who was trying to unify Demon Realm. If the people in Demon Realm knew Wilbert's younger sister had actually had a child with a Hero, this would affect Wilbert's plans.
Poor Basara didn't know this. He also didn't know one of his mothers sacrificed herself for him. Eiji wondered should he tell Basara? This was just a bit of his guilt because he had cut off many of Basara's opportunities ‒ for example like the girls who would become Basara's future wives in the original work. After all, unlike other protagonists, his relationship with protagonist Basara was not bad.
"Then you gathered us here to..."
Basara was a little sorry for getting carried away, he was usually very calm. But lately a lot of things had happened that made him uncomfortable. In contrast, Mio and the others were very calm which was different from the original work.
"I originally invited my younger brother's daughter here to take the power inside her body."
"....."
"And if I do that, Mio will lose all her power. That's if the process goes smoothly, but there's also the possibility of her losing her life."
"!!!"
Ignoring Basara who was clenching his fists and staring sharply at Ramusas, Ramusas glanced at Mio who was currently also staring at him.
Although his face was still cold and expressionless, Ramusas was surprised to see Mio who did not seem too surprised to hear what he said. He probably underestimated his own daughter too much even though he cared for her in his own way.
"What should I call you? Uncle, Ramusas-dono or... Father?" Mio asked while folding her arms under her chest. Her expression was calm and she looked straight into Ramusas' eyes which were trembling slightly.
No way, right?
Ramusas narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
"I was just joking... Uncle, you wouldn't do such a thing to your own niece, right? At least you've changed your mind..."
Mio actually just wanted to test something, but Ramusas' reaction was funny enough to almost make her laugh.
[Mio, how is it? This girl... There's no way she already knows Ramusas is actually her own father?! Ramusas is Wilbert, but I haven't told this to Mio and the others yet.]
[I can't believe Mio dared to joke with Ramusas. In the original work, Mio was actually a little afraid of Ramusas who treated her coldly.]
Eiji didn't forget to score to make his inner voice more convincing.
[Maybe Sheila told her that?]
Sheila who was watching from the other side with Lucia shook her head. She was increasingly convinced that Eiji really didn't know his inner voice was heard by them.
Last night, after the girls found out she had become Eiji's woman. The girl named Sona had told her that not just her, but girls like those so-called heroines could also hear him. There were also some exceptions for other female characters from the original work like herself. Sheila was also told about what an original work was and about the many franchises in Eiji's previous life that were actually real in this world.
When she first heard this, Sheila, no. Not only her ‒ Lucia and Zest were also stunned. But they quickly calmed down and took this information well.
By the way they have also been added to the Chat Group.
[Mio: Sheila-san... If Eiji asks you, please just answer that you told me about Ramusas' true identity.]
[Sheila: I understand Mio-chan, I know what I should do.]
Sheila smiled amusedly, she looked at Ramusas who was still pretending and sighed.
...This guy doesn't know his identity has been revealed to everyone in this room. Well, except Basara-kun... Speaking of that boy, I didn't expect him to actually be the protagonist. But because of Eiji, his light is dimmed.
Despite knowing all this, Sheila had no intention of helping Basara because now she was Eiji's woman and it was obvious who she would choose between the two.
Just like Ramusas, Basara was also surprised by Mio's boldness to joke with Ramusas. He was worried that Ramusas would get angry, but at this moment―
"Ramusas-san, Mio was just joking with her uncle. You won't get angry, right?"
Eiji looked at Ramusas with a faint smile. Under the sunlight coming in from the large window beside them, even though he was standing in a relaxed posture. Ramusas felt that he had seen his ancestor, or rather his own body wanting to submit to the boy.
Ramusas knew Eiji actually just wanted him to be nice to Mio and remind her of their agreement. Of course, there was no way he could treat Mio coldly and make people think he hated his younger brother's daughter like his original idea. This was for the sake of the girl's safety as well as his plans of course. But that was before...
Now with Eiji by his side, Ramusas realized that he actually didn't need to be as worried and cautious as before.
Although he wasn't sure why his body reacted that way to Eiji.
Even so―
"Of course not, and Mio... I did change my mind and don't plan on taking your power now." Ramusas smiled bitterly, being used to pretending to be cold to his own daughter, it was still a bit difficult for him to suddenly change his attitude.
But at least, now his tone was a little softer.
Basara was relieved to see that Ramusas was not really angry at Mio, he looked at Eiji and knew it must be because of his interruption earlier that Ramusas seemed to remember something. Basara felt sour ‒ this feeling again...he didn't like it.
"Then what did you invite us here for?" Asked Mio who was in a good mood. Her father was actually a tsundere.
The atmosphere that was previously a little liquid became serious again. Ramusas put aside whether Mio already knew the truth or not... and where she knew, he put it aside for now.
"I gathered you all here to deliver news I heard from Demon Lord Leohart."
"Leohart?" Only Basara did not know. While Mio and the other girls had long known from Eiji's inner voice.
"Basara, be quiet for a moment."
"Sorry."
"It's okay, you can ask later. For now, let's listen to what Ramusas-san has to say first."
"....."
After Eiji said that to him, what could Basara do? However, Basara felt that his reaction was natural. What was strange was Mio and the others who didn't seem to be surprised much as if they knew more than him.
Although they had originally come to Demon Realm together.
His knowledge of the Demon Realm situation seemed to be far behind the others.
"...Precisely the leader of the Demon Lord Faction has announced a challenge to the Moderate Faction. This challenge will decide who the next leader of Demon Realm will be that everyone agrees on."
"This is not a war, but a tournament that requires the Moderate Faction and Demon Lord Faction to send 7 representatives who will fight against each other."
"I'll be straightforward... Are you guys willing to represent the Moderate Faction in that tournament?"
