The Wish of the Dragon - Chapter 163: Side

Chapter 163: Side

When Issei left Forzelotte and Lotte’s side.

“Now then… Kozelotte.” Forzelotte said with a sigh after Issei went to Setsuna’s side.

“…”

“Don’t pretend that you’re not there. I know you have been eavesdropping the entire time.” Forzelotte said with narrowed eyes.

“…H-Hi, mama.” Kozelotte finally comes out of her concealment magic.

“Ah, Koze onee-chan!” Lotte waved giddily.

“I’m sure you’ve heard what your father and I talked about. Don’t try to deny it.”

“Yes…”

“You better not be thinking of chasing after him. I won’t allow any more mischievousness coming from you.”

“E-Ehh… B-But…”

“No buts!” Forzelotte said sternly: “And the same goes for you two, Amou, Momoyo.”

“Ugh!” Amou and Momoyo also pop out from the void after being exposed by Forzelotte’s magic.

“Amou onee-chan and Momoyo onee-chan is here too! Are you three going to play with Lotte?” Lotte waved once again.

“Hmph, you two are still too green to copy your mother’s dimensional magic.” Forzelotte snorted at the two: “As I said, the three of you are not allowed to follow after your father. No question asked.” Forzelotte said sternly: “Do you girls understand?”

“Yes…” The three of them said dejectedly.

Forzelotte sighed tiredly for the umpteenth time at her troublesome daughters.

Remembering the time when Kozelotte snuck up unto Issei’s bed when she’s younger still made her head hurt to this day.

She was only ten years old but she has already become interested in the opposite sex… She guesses it’s her demon’s blood at work. They, Demons, grew faster than most species after all.

That and coupled with her Dragon bloodline enhance it even further.

Okay, and maybe also because they were being a bit too careless by letting her witnessed the kiss they share. They should’ve been more mindful of the place…

But that doesn’t mean she’s allowed to sneak up into her father’s bed!

‘If Forze, Arte, or Lotte ever tried to steal Issei away from me as a woman then… I will show them no mercy, not even if they are my own daughters… Haah… That is exactly why I couldn’t let them cross that line. I’ll have to be extra careful to stop that from happening…’

Although for Lotte it will take a few more years for her interest to bloom, it would be best to be careful from now on.

She wonders if she should introduce them to some boy instead… But their foolish father won’t allow just any boy to come close… She also thought that no random boy should be allowed to come near them but… Ah, the dilemma…

This is that idiot’s fault for being too outstanding… Forzelotte kneaded her temple in frustration.

In actuality, Forzelotte is not really against their daughters marrying their own father. Even in the Demon world, it is very common for such things to happen.

Some noble demon households still have a marriage within their own household even until this day.

To keep their bloodline pure so to speak… There’s no need to be worried about some deformity since they’re Demons.

It’s just that she felt jealous thinking that her daughter would be loved more than her… Something like discarding the old and fancying the younger one.

Deep down she knows that her husband would never do that but it’s just her insecurity as a woman. She has been alone for a very long time and she rather dies rather than losing her other half.

“Mama?”

Forzelotte snapped out of her thoughts when she heard Lotte’s voice.

“What’s wrong, mama? Are you hurt anywhere? Want Lotte to kiss the pain away?” Lotte asked with a concerned voice and she also started rubbing Forzelotte’s cheek caringly.

“Fufufu… It’s nothing, dear… Mama was only thinking to herself. Now go and play with your elder sisters.” Forzelotte gives Lotte’s forehead a light peck and then she put the latter down from her lap.

“Un! Mama come too! Play together!” Lotte didn’t immediately go away but rather she started pulling her Forzelotte’s hand instead.

“Alright, alright… Mama will accompany you to play lest your father might think that I haven’t spoiled you enough…” Forzelotte gives a light chuckle before she stood up from her seat.

Amidst their laughter, a certain someone had a sly smile on her face…

“Dearest father…” She muttered before disappearing from the spot.

…

“Hmhm~ 🎶”

“Uhh… Rene…” Issei sighed wryly at the clingy Irene S.

“Yes, deary~?”

“Could you let go of me… I’m trying to cook here…”

“Aww, you don’t need to mind me, deary~. You can continue cooking and just ignore my presence.” She said with a smile.

“I couldn’t cook with you clinging to my arm… You girls as well.” Issei sighed at the group of koalas that are clinging to his body.

“”Don’t want!”” They replied in unison.

“Simone… Would you mind helping me to peel off your sisters here?”

“Uhh, sorry foster father… But I don’t dare…” Simone said while rubbing his head. The glare from Kagura and the others is enough to serve as a warning.

And it’s actually quite funny to see their foster father being latched on by them.

“You girls… Go away from him!” Erza H. is the only one who tried to help Issei but: “What the?! How come you girls become so strong!?”

Issei’s face started to twitch a lot seeing his situation.

“Master?” Brynhildr’s confused voice resounded from the door.

“Ah, Bryn. Wait a sec… You girls… Knock… It… Off!” Issei finally snapped and knocked their head.

“””Ouch!”””

Only then they finally let go of his body.

“Ah… Foster father whip of love~” Sorano exclaimed.

“Onee-chan…” Yukino sweated at her big sister’s conduct.

“You pervert, stay away from him!” Erza H. glared at her.

“Anyway…” Issei sighed once again: “It’s nice to see all of you again but you need to behave… You’re not children anymore. And I still need to finish this breakfast.”

With that said, Issei finally finishes the breakfast he was preparing for Brynhildr.

“By the way, why are you here, Bryn-nee?” Erza H. asked.

“That’s mother Bryn for you.” Issei reminded.

“Oh, right. You’re one of our mom’s now.” Erza H. grinned.

Brynhildr only smiles at her but her cheeks are a little red. Heck, her whole body is glowing under their gazes.

Irene S. who has the most experience in this field smirked knowingly at Issei.

“She’s here because she is pregnant, she just told me a few days ago and now I’m pampering her,” Issei said as a matter of fact.

Brynhildr’s face turned another shade redder after being told that she’s being pampered.

“Eh? Really?” Erza H. blinked: “Well, that’s a surprise… So that means I’m gonna have another sibling? Neat.”

“Your other wife, deary?” Irene S. asked.

“Yes.” Issei simply answered: “You girls and boy go and greet your foster mother.”

“Hello, foster mother.” They greeted her.

“Un.” Brynhildr gives a faint nod in return.

“As usual, your taste in choosing your woman is truly remarkable.” Irene S. chuckled at Brynhildr’s beauty: “So she’s pregnant? How about you make me pregnant as well, deary? I’m more than ready… I’m sure Erza would love another little sister or brother~” She said suggestively.

Erza S. and the others faces’ turned beet red at her words.

“Ah! I want to bear your child as well, foster father!” Sorano raised her hand jovially.

“O-Onee-chan!” Yukino shouted with a flushed face.

“What? It’s not like you don’t want to as well, right?” Sorano smirked at her little sister.

“Th-That’s…”

“You girls also feel the same way, right?” Sorano asked Kagura’s group.

“…” They didn’t say anything but their red face is a silent consent.

“See?” Sorano grinned.

“No. I won’t be making my own daughters pregnant even if we’re not related.” Issei said calmly.

“Ehhhh?!” Yukino whined. The other girls are also visibly disappointed.

“And Rene…”

“Nuh uh uh~, don’t be trying to reject me now of all time, deary. I have fulfilled the condition that your wife has set and now it’s time for me to get my reward~” Irene S. licked her lips seductively.

“Err… But that’s your arrangement with Irene though? I never actually agree with the whole thing…”

“Is that really what you think, deary? We have been together for years and we also share a bed toget-”

“No, we didn’t.” Issei said flatly: “We never slept together.”

Issei neatly arranged the breakfast for Brynhildr on the table before telling her to eat slowly.

“You didn’t have to deny it that quickly…” Irene S. pouted: “And also…” Her eyes flashed before she makes her move.

Sadly for her, Issei stopped her dead in her track.

“…What are you trying to do?” Issei said with a sweat while holding her head.

“I want my welcome kiss!” She said while puckering her lips.

“What welcome kiss are you talking about…”

“We have already kissed once anyway so let’s go for another one!”

“That was you taking me by surprise…”

While the two of them are bickering with each other, Kagura and the others sweated at their interaction.

“Your mom sure is aggressive isn’t she, Erza-chan?” Sorano snickered.

“I thought she was strict according to what you told us?” Yukino wondered.

“Well… I wasn’t completely sure but according to mom herself, ever since dad comes into her life, she became more outspoken and carefree. She used to be so cold and distant she said… My birth father betrayed her in the past after all.” Erza S. didn’t really have any recollection about her birth father but she thought it’s good riddance knowing what he has done to her mom.

She has been informed by Irene S. herself of what happened.

After spending some time with Issei, Irene has finally changed her personality to her current one.

She is more cruel and decisive compared to the previous her but she would become more playful around Issei and the others.

She was cautious of Issei when they first met even though he helped her transform into her human form. The pain of being betrayed by those she once loved is not something that can be erased just like that… Which is something Issei knows best.

Irene stopped her struggle and said softly: “I really miss you, deary.”

“…” Issei went silent for a second before he sighed once again: “I miss you too…”

To say that he has no feeling towards her would be a lie since they do share some time together but that feeling isn’t as strong as his feelings for his wives.

“Now wait on the table with the others while I make some food for you.” Issei said.

WOOSH!

Kagura’s group waste no time before they took their respective seat.

“All of you are really…” Erza H. become speechless at how fast they move.

“…” Irene S. is the only one who didn’t move from her spot.

She’s still looking down making Issei unable to discern her expression.

Issei who sees her acting like this could only wryly shake his head.

He let go of his hold over her head and proceed to lift her chin up.

A teary-eyed Irene S. comes to his view and the longing on his gaze is obvious to all.

“…Just this once,” Issei muttered before he proceeds to seal her lips with his own.

Irene S. widen for a brief second before she squinted her eyes in happiness. She then wrapped her arms around Issei’s neck to reciprocate his kiss.

Since Issei is a head taller than her, she needs to stand on her tiptoe. And since she’s wearing quite a tight-fitting dress which accentuated her voluptuous body, something soft unnecessarily provoked Issei on his chest.

The girls blushed and Sorano grinned mischievously at their interaction.

“…A kiss from foster father… I wonder how it tastes.” Yukino muttered in a low voice but the girls around her could hear her words quite clearly.

They blushed right to the root of their ear hearing her words and couldn’t help but imagine the scene of them kissing with their foster father.

They grinned foolishly after imagining it.

Simone sweated seeing his sisters acting like this… It’s not like he couldn’t understand why they acting like this but still…

Especially seeing his little sister acting so shy like this is quite something. She’s usually so stern and serious most of the time after all…

“Kissing with otou-sama feels great you know.” Erza H. said suddenly.

“Eh?” They dumbfoundedly look at her.

“You kissed with foster father, Erza-nee?” Sorano asked interestedly. Oh wow, she never thought that their ‘big sister’ would be so bold! To kiss her own father like that!

“Of course. Me and otou-sama often share a kiss with each other!” Erza H. said proudly but then she becomes deflated at the next second: “On the forehead or cheek that is…”

“Oh…” They sweated and also sighed in relief.

“Booo~” Sorano is the only one who pouted in dissatisfaction: “And here I thought it’s something more scandalous…”

“Nee-chan!” Yukino shouted in embarrassment.

Brnyhildr gives a faint smile to their interaction.

“There… Satisfied?” Issei said after they separated their lips.

“…” Irene S. dumbly nod at him: “But… I want more…”

“Maybe later… For now, just wait at the table. I’ll make you some breakfast.”

“En…”

Erza S. who saw this secretly gives a thumbs up to Issei. To think that he could make her fierce mother become as docile as a kitten.

When Irene S. took her seat, Sorano waste no time before asking: “So what does it feel like, Irene-san?”

“It tastes like the sweetest wine I ever had… The most intoxicating and sweetest wine ever.” She said in reminiscence.

“Oooh~”

While the girls are chirping around between themselves, Issei and Simone can only sigh wryly.

When Issei is making their breakfast, the girls are looking at him entrancedly.

“So dreamy, isn’t he?” Irene S. said with a sigh seeing Issei cooking with an apron.

A man that can cook is quite a fatal attraction to women.

“Um…” They nodded in agreement.

…

“Yiya yiya!”

“Slow down, sister.”

“Don’t slow down! Go faster!”

Three beautiful girls seemingly in their teens can be seen zooming across the dimensional void.

One of them has long bright red hair. The other one has white hair with unique colored eyes and the last one has silver hair.

The three of them happily flew across the void ignoring everything in their way.

There are some Gods who reside in the void witnessing their form but they’re too dumbfounded by their beauty to do anything in time.

Whether it’s man or woman, all of them are charmed by their beauty.

Some malevolent male Gods coveted their beauty but as soon as they sensed their strength their faces immediately went pale. They waste no time before they run far away from their previous location…

Of course, there are some who didn’t realize the danger and still tried to capture them…

“This presence… Impossible! How come I can’t sense their cultivation?!” An elderly looking man shouted in shock: “…That means these three possess some heaven-defying secret…”

The elderly man has some cold sweat running down his face but his greed overcomes his fear.

His entire being is telling him not to try anything foolish but his greed once again prevails over his instinct.

“Six of you! Go and capture them for me! No, wait… I’ll come with you as well.” At first, he wanted to order his subordinates to capture them but then he finally decided to come along as well.

The six of them looked at each other feeling uncertain but since their master has ordered them to do so then they have no other choice… Unlike their master, they still trust their instinct more.

Alas…

“Halt! I am- GWAH!!!” The elderly God was about to say something when the three girls run them over.

He along with his subordinates turned into dust the moment they come into contact with their massive magical energy.

“Eh? What was that?”

“S-Sister, I think we hit someone!”

“I-It’s not our fault! T-They suddenly just stood in front of us!”

“Waah, I don’t want father to scold us! Although mother won’t care, father might become angry!”

“Ueh, I don’t want big brother to get angry at us! Let’s hide!”

The three of them looked at each other before nodding between themselves.

They choose a random dimension and entered it, leaving behind the remnants of the poor bastard that tried to get in their way…

When they arrived at their so-called hiding spot, they started to realize something.

“Wait… Would father even know if we didn’t tell him in the first place?” The silver-haired girl said in realization.

“”Ah…”” The other two also froze on the spot.

“All we need to do is just be quiet and keep it a secret…” The silver-haired girl said sneakily.

“That’s right! Nobody is going to know as long as we keep it a secret!” The red-haired girl thought aloud.

“Un un.” The white-haired girl nodded vigorously.

“But just to be safe let’s stay in this place for a while…”

“Agreed…”

Although they reassured themselves, they still feel a little apprehensive.

The nightmare of having their father/big brother taking their snacks away haunts them.

“But… Where are we currently?” The silver-haired girl tilted her head looking at their surroundings.

“It’s so dark in here…” The red-haired girl frowned. She then proceeds to light a fire at the top of her palm.

While they could see clearly even in the darkness, it still annoys them especially for the white-haired girl who doesn’t like a dark place since it reminded her of her past.

“Waah, so many shiny things!” The red-haired girl exclaimed seeing the mountain of gold around them.

There’s a bunch of bronze and silver armors. There are even a large amount of some peculiar scrolls, crystals, furs, and horn-type materials. It was also full of precious looking metals.

“Hmm…” The red-haired girl squinted her eyes before picking up a random sword and metal.

She sniffed it a little before proceeding to take a little bite out of it.

*Crunch!*

“Bleh, it tastes bad!” The girl tossed away the sword and metal she just took a bite off.

She hurriedly took a piece of cake out of her dimensional storage to cleanse her palate.

The cake is colored silver and seems to be glittering even in the dark.

“Mm, big brother cake is the best!” She joyfully ate the cake with one big bite.

“Let’s take the shinies away! Perhaps father could make use of it!” The silver-haired girl waste no time before she sucked all of the treasures in the room into her dimensional storage.

“…” The white-haired girl looks slightly interested at a lamp that was blinking with light: “Ah… There’s a spirit inside that lamp.” She finally pointed out.

“Eh?” Her two friends looked over: “Really? What kind of spirit is it?” They curiously asked.

“It’s a dark looking spirit… It’s full of <Yin> energy.” The white-haired girl explained.

“Should we free it?”

“Mm. Let’s free it. It’s so pitiful to be trapped inside that small lamp.” The white-haired girl nodded.

After freeing the spirit, it doesn’t seem to have the intention to run away but instead, it started circling the white-haired girl instead.

“It likes you!” The red-haired girl said.

“Oh… You want to come with me?” The white-haired girl asked.

The spirit made a gesture of moving up and down signaling its agreement.

“Alright, you can come with me. But you have to be obedient, okay?”

It ‘nodded’ once again. The spirit then started to look around before it finally decided to transform itself into a small black gem.

The white-haired girl took the gem into her hand and put it inside her pocket.

“Now where should we go next?” The silver-haired girl asked after she finished sweeping the place clean.

“Let’s get out of this place… I don’t like it here. It’s too boring!”

“But where’s the way out?”

They started to look around but they couldn’t see a pathway that leads outside.

Finally, the red-haired girl becomes impatient and grumbled: “Ahh, annoying. Let’s just make our own way out!”

She then flew to the ceiling and punched out.

*Boom!*

With her unexpectedly small fist, a large hole appeared on the ceiling above them. They can see the sky from that hole.

“There. Let’s go!”

The three of them then flew away from the treasury room…

…

“By the way, why are you here, otou-sama?” Erza H. asked mid breakfast.

“Our company received a job request and your mother Brynhildr happens to be the one who took it,” Issei said while drinking a cup of coffee: “Since she’s pregnant, I decided to take the job in her stead.”

“Hmm, I see…” Erza H. nodded while munching down her food.

She knows that her father could just send someone else and not be the one who took the job but he didn’t because just like he said, he wanted to pamper Brynhildr.

“Your food is so delish as always, foster father!” Sorano exclaimed jovially.

“Mm, Mm! Other foods taste pale in comparison.” Yukino also praised.

“Agreed, foster father food is the best in the whole world,” Kagura said with a smile.

“I’m glad you like it.” Issei chuckled at them.

“You girls better go back after finishing your food, you still have a tournament to attend to, remember?” Erza H. reminded: “By the way, otou-sama…”

“Hm?”

“Did you know that big sis Erza here got defeated by-”

“WAAAA!!!”

Erza H. was about to spill the beans but Erza S. hurriedly stopped her mouth from blabbering off.

“What’s wrong?” Issei sweated at the twin.

“I-It’s nothing, tou-san! A-Ahahaha!” Erza S. faked a laugh to cover her embarrassment.

“I see…”

Issei suddenly sensed another annoying pest trying to spy on them right outside the fortress.

He frowned at this pest that just won’t leave them alone.

“What’s wrong, deary?” Irene S. who sensed his annoyance asked.

“Master…” Brynhildr also realized the familiar’s presence.

“You girls wait here… I need to take out some trash.” Issei said faintly before he disappeared from the spot.

“Ah, I wanted to see foster father in action…” Sorano sighed in pity.

“Don’t get in his way… His opponent is too much for you girls to handle.” Erza H. said.

“Ah! But you can show us his fight from here, right, nee-chan?” Sorano said in realization.

“Um, I could.” Erza H. nodded.

She then created a screen for them to see what Issei is currently doing…

…

“King Voban! Please rethink your decision!” Lilianna pleaded.

They’re standing above a tall skyscraper building situated in Italy.

“Lucretia Zola has already advised us to not provoke this unknown God! The result of his wrath is not something we could stand!” Erica is also with her trying to talk some sense into Voban.

“That’s precisely why I must see this Heretic God with my own two eyes. Imagine, a God so strong that he could easily kill two Gods simultaneously in mere seconds! How great the power he possess! And if I could get my hands on his power…”

Voban has the appearance of a man in his later years with silver hair emerald-colored eyes wearing a grey business suit with a white shirt and black tie under and high-collared grey long coat. He´s in extremely good health has the air of a predator around him.

Liliana and Erica gritted their teeth.

So long as can satisfy his own selfish desire, even if the result is human destruction, Voban would do it without hesitation.

That’s the kind of person he is. He’s the oldest <God Slayer> or <Campione> in this world.

He has sent a group of familiars towards the place where his last familiar was killed hoping that he could provoke Issei. What he didn’t know is that this provocation of his would be the last thing he’ll ever do…

“…He’s here!” Voban said jubilantly.

Issei indeed appeared before them but there’s a deep frown on his face.

Erica and Liliana’s heart skipped another beat when they see him once again.

“Oooh…” Voban exclaimed in awe after sensing Issei’s aura: “So you are the God I’ve been hearing about.”

“…I thought I made myself clear the other day. I’ve said that I dislike being bothered, didn’t I?” Issei ignored Voban and said towards the two girls.

They snapped out of their thought and immediately kneeled on the ground: “Answering your excellency, we have informed everyone of your honored self but king Voban acted on his own despite our warning!” Liliana said in a cold sweat.

“That’s right, king Voban’s action has nothing to do with any of us.” Erica followed up.

“…” Issei narrowed his eyes at the grinning Voban.

“It is as they say. I acted on my own but such is the rights of King in this world.” Voban said arrogantly: “I admit that you’re the strongest God I have faced so far… But that just makes things more interesting! Allow me to introduce myself, my name is-”

“Ah, I don’t care who you are, you don’t need to introduce yourself.” Issei waved his hand.

“…Are you mocking me?” Voban narrowed his eye dangerously. His eyes are akin to that of a wolf’s eyes with how ferocious it is.

“So what if I am?” Issei stared back.

“!!” Voban flinched the moment he met Issei’s gaze with his own.

What the hell was that? That glimpse of the endless void? It’s as if his soul was being sucked into the abyss!

Voban won’t accept that he just flinched under the gaze of his foe, he used one of his <Authority> that he stole from the God he slew and summoned a pack of large gray wolves.

The newly appeared pack of wolved growled menacingly at Issei.

“That is <Legion of Hungry Wolves>.” Liliana exclaimed out loud.

The first Authority Voban gained when he slew Apollo Lyceus. This power is arguably his most powerful authority in his arsenal.

He’s also capable of transforming himself into a werewolf which grants him immense strength and speed.

“Kill him!” Voban ordered his wolves.

The wolves growled one last time before they pounced at Issei.

Issei looks perfectly calm despite the oncoming wolves.

When the wolves are only a few centimeters away from his location, Issei finally spoke: “Sit.”

The wolves stopped in their track and obediently obeyed his command.

They are seated on the ground while letting out a whimpering sound.

Their ears flopped down and they tucked their tail between their legs. They completely become submissive in front of him.

“What?” Voban becomes shocked at this sight. Erica and Liliana are also surprised.

“Not bad… These wolves would be perfect as a pet.” Issei thought out loud. He could gift these wolves for his little princesses.

“Tch! Return!” Voban tried to recall his wolves but nothing happened.

“What’s going on? Why can’t I summon them back!” Voban gritted his teeth in confusion.

“So, what’s next? What other toys are you going to show me?” Issei’s voice resounded.

“…Don’t underestimate me!” Voban’s body grew in size.

Voban’s clothes ripped apart along with his growing body.

His body grew taller and taller until it reaches 5 meters tall. His whole body is also covered in furs.

“My <Legion of Hungry Wolves> is not only allowed me summon a pack of wolves! But I can also transform myself into a Werewolf! With this form, I will-”

*BOOM!*

*PSSST!*

Issei didn’t wait for Voban to finish his words, he lightly punched out with his fist towards the latter direction.

“Aaah!” Erica and Liliana are slightly blown away because of the sheer pressure of the aftershock from his fist.

“You talk too much.” Issei said.

The upper half of Voban’s body is nowhere to be seen.

Only a pair of legs are left behind in his previous spot.

When Erica and Liliana come back to their senses, they gulped audibly.

“…Is king Voban dead?” Erica muttered in shock.

“N-No, it shouldn’t be this easy… One of his <Authority> allows him to resurrect himself.” Liliana shook her head.

“…”

But even after waiting for a few moments, nothing happened…

“You two don’t need to wait for him any longer, he’s already dead.” Issei’s voice brought them back from their daze.

The pack of wolves also disappeared along with Voban’s death.

“B-But that’s just…” That’s it? A God Slayer is dead just like that? And this God Slayer is the oldest God Slayer in history to boot!

With just one punch… No, it’s not even a punch, it’s just the wind pressure caused by his punch!

On Issei’s hand, a wisp of soul could be seen flowing around.

“Release me! Release me this instant!”

“I-Is that…”

“King Voban…”

Erica and Liliana’s mouth become wide open seeing the wisp of soul belonging to Voban.

“I admit defeat, unknown God!” The soul shouted.

“Now what should I do with you…” Issei think to himself: “Just letting you dissipate would be a waste… Ah, maybe I should make use of your soul to make an artifact? Mm, that should work.”

“What?! No, let me go! Don’t use my soul as a catalyst! I can give you anything you want!”

“I want your soul.” Issei said mockingly.

“…”

Voban dumbfoundedly look at Issei: “N-No, I can give you anything but that!”

“You’re in no place to bargain with me… Now, who should I send you to… Semi should be a little busy right now.”

He wanted to make use of his soul to create an artifact. But before that, he needs to ‘cleanse’ it less his soul might cause some annoyance in the future.

But not just anyone could do this. They need to have a Divinity related to <Death>.

While he could ‘cleanse’ it on his own, with his daughters watching over them, he couldn’t do that. It’s not a sight for children to see…

Semiramis might be busy with her little game and as for the others… Ah, got it. Let’s just send it to ‘her’.

Issei took out his phone and dialed a number.

“…” Erica and Liliana’s mouth started twitching seeing that Issei just took a phone out of nowhere.

A God that uses a phone? That’s a first…

[H-Hello? M-Master?!]” After a few seconds, the call went through and a panicking woman’s voice resounded from the other side.

“Hello, Eresh… Are you busy right now?”

[O-Of course not! I-I always have time for you, Master!]

[Who’s that, Eresh? Is it Master?] A similar but more prideful voice could be heard.

“Oh, then could you do something for me…” Issei said with a chuckle.

Erica and Liliana become captivated at his smile… Meanwhile, Voban is still struggling for his poor life- no, soul…
