Chapter 224: Bizzare, The Nerd Within Is Revealed

"Me? What are you talking about?" I asked as I looked around at the gathered and waiting Demons.

They were all looking at me with expectant faces… wait… they were waiting… Me?

I could actually feel that from them, but I didn't understand what It meant. Was this part of being a Demon Lord?

[You are the strongest, and the only Demon Lord left on this island, but you are immensely more potent than anything that is on this island. I suggest you call a meeting and recall the ones that were sent out to attack.]

"Am I the Lord of everyone now? How does that even happen?" I asked Mex, and he mimicked the shrug I had just given him.

"I guess that you are too strong, and they have all been forced under your control. I think that only Nixi, Lani, Nushi, Dack, and Nushi are the only ones strong enough to be able to resist you, but I will give you my loyalty without question. You fixed me!" Mex said with excitement as he grabbed his crotch with a big grin.

Then the grin slid off his face as Mex looked down, still grabbing himself, but the proud grab started to look frantic. Mex ripped his shorts clean off his body and roared, shaking his fist at the sky.

I started to laugh, Nushi buried her face in my chest, and Mex started to go off about how he had been cheated. I mean, it was a good size, but it must be pretty frustrating for him going from a greatsword to a short sword.

While he raged, I closed my eyes and concentrated. I tried to feel out all the Demons on the islands, and it turned out to be a lot easier than I had thought it to be.

[I suggest you get everyone to meet in the place that it all began, at the center of the island. That way, you can get everyone in one go. You can seal the deal with that strange-looking alien Demon that you brought back with you.]

I sent out the suggested message, and before I was done, I could feel the Demons around me starting to leave. The ones outside the tent were also heading in the southwest direction, and I could feel the Demons all over the island starting to move.

I turned, still with Nushi hiding her face from her father, who was still raging about getting the short stick. I looked down at the other two girls that were still down at the bottom of the steps.

Hydie was talking with Beeno, but the red-skinned tripedal Demon still looked disturbed and refused to look up at me. It must be bizarre for her to be here, and I felt the same way, but it wasn't because I didn't want her to come.

I was not only curious but also worried about what the effect of this world might have on her body.

"Come, let's go see the new addition to the farm," I said to Nushi, and she peaked at me with a grimace.

"Is he done yet?" Nushi asked as she kept her eyes glued to mine.

I looked over, but Mex was no longer standing in the same place, and I had to turn my head back to where the red cube of the Challenger Gem had been.

Mex was holding a red gem in his hands, but it was about half the size of a human head. It was cut to look like one of the perfect gemstones that you would typically find in a video game.

"So, what are you planning on doing with that?" I asked Mex, and Nushi peaked from my chest and then ran from me down to the other girls since her father's back was turned.

"I will take the girls outside, and we will meet you both out there. I suggest you both try to find some pants or shorts! You are making Beeno uncomfortable!" Nushi said and even shook a fist at me.

My eyes went big, and my hand automatically went to cover my flaccid penis. This was the first time since I got here that anyone had told me to put on clothes, and it was a bit of a shock.

"Errm, yeah, sorry!" I said, feeling a bit embarrassed, and then whipped around to a laughing Mex.

"Well, I never thought the day would come that you are short for words! We can take this one with us, but we can leave the others if you are not talking to the Demons with you. Think of them as a form of entertainment, and even if they are not Demons after, they will still need something to keep them busy!" Mex explained, and I shrugged off his laugh and sighed.

"I am glad that everything turned out, but are you serious that people are going to want to go there by choice? They won't be Demons anymore, so they might not be drawn to violence quite as easily, right?" I asked as I watched all the blue-skinned people leaving the tents.

"Ha! I think that you should know that it does not talk about a Demon to enjoy a good challenge! I think that you might even want to go back in there, now that you can fight the things that could be sent out," Mex said as he nodded approvingly to me while holding the Challenger Gem up to me.

I grinned at Mex and nodded to him as I took the large red gem from him. It was so perfectly cut that it almost made me feel like I had stepped into Hyrule…

Hyrule… Why did I know that name but couldn't place where I knew it from. Something about a flute of time and a captured princess?

Could it possibly be one of the worlds I had explored the first time I ran through this?

[Nope, it is just the true nerd that is under it all trying to get out!]
