“Chapter 67: The Bawling of the Shimmering Succubus Leader 3”

Her name is Azaasha.

The great demon who was once part of the Four Fiendish Guardians.

The guardians might be strong, but that strength doesn’t last forever. Sometimes they’re overthrown by subordinates who have become even more powerful.

There was a time when the Succubi race was the weakest out of the guardians.

But Azaasha had never been overthrown.

She was the most powerful Succubi throughout any generation.

The easiest way to tell was the size of her wings and horns.

The bigger the wings, the more magic the Succubi has. The horns indicated how complex was the magic they could use.

Mumuruu was better than Letty and the other subordinates, but she was still nowhere close to her mother.

– G-Good evening, Dear Mother! To what do I owe the pleasure of such an impromptu visit at this hour?

Even her, someone who is very loose with her words, becomes upright when talking to Azaasha.

Unlike Mumuruu’s grandmother and great-grandmother, her mother valued respect way above many other values.

Mumuruu once talked to her mother as if she was talking to Letty. An accident that was rewarded with a fist cracking every bone in her skull.

– I can’t tell if it’s too early or too late for you. By the way, where’s Letty? I’ve looked for her everywhere.

– *Gulp*

Mumuruu was sweating profusely.

“Come on, come on, come on, think of an excuse”

Letty’s family has been serving Mumuruu’s family for generations. Azaasha took a liking to her very quickly.

So much so that she’s asking about her first thing.

– Uh… Ehh… Ah, L-Letty! I sent her to gather information about the human world. We’ve received intel that the humans at Royal Capital are scheming something.

Of course, that was a lie. There have been no signs of a war in decades.

“Yes, Mother. I broke the trident, and as payment, Letty now works for the humans as a receptionist for an adventurers guild!”

There’s no way she can tell her the truth.

Mumuruu’s face would end up looking like very poorly made mashed potatoes.

– Alright. And, Mumuruu?

– Yes, Dear Mother?

– I told you to show me the spear.

Mumuruu started getting dizzy from panicking.

She knows her mother will find out.

– I saw you showing off to your subordinates. But you can’t fool me. I saw some bits of holy sword mixed in.

The Heaven Jewel is used as one of the materials for the creation of a holy sword.

Takaya’s fix was just first aid, and it worked well enough to fool everyone.

Everyone, except for the previous owner of the Trident of Darkness.

Mumuruu couldn’t deceive her.

– Huh? Holy sword? Whatever could you be referring to? You know Letty takes care of the weapo-GWUH!?

Mumuruu was struck by a fist with absurd power in the blink of an eye.

Her face was buried on the wall.

– Do you really think you can get away with lying to your mother, you rascal!? I don’t remember raising you like this!

– A-Aaa…

“Why? She’s retired. Why would she come now!?”

Azaasha grabbed her daughter’s face with the entirety of her hand.

– Am I interrupting something by being here!?

– A-Apologies, Dear Mother.

She had no choice but to confess.

Apologizing to her friend who was enjoying her new life in the human world, Mumuruu told her mother the whole story.
