"You wish to take the quest to Amura village?!" The beautiful receptionist exclaimed.
She felt shocked because the request was C-Rank, but the rewards were barely worthy of an F-Rank quest. It might seem strange to most adventurers because the fee barely covered the travel costs, and it was a two-day journey each way for this quest.
Asmodeus, Yumiko, and Vinea stood at the desk almost two weeks after he began to treat Liana as his lover, and the female knights all swore allegiance to him one by one. His long raven hair, both glossy and sleek like silk and charming ocean-blue eyes were now a popular sight for both the young female guild staff and adventurers.
"Yeah, the appearance of demons seems to be a little worrying when we are so far south." Asmodeus spoke with his customer service voice, which made both Yumiko and Vinea tremble with the attractive and charming vibrations like a tempting devil's serenade.
He didn't care about holding back his appeal anymore—thanks to the women being beautiful and his looks, their group received many benefits from both male and female merchants. Thus, they abused it while they could.
"Are you worried for me, Mary?" He gave a wink to the thirty-year-old guild worker, who seemed to have a slither of elven blood, making her youthful and looked in her mid-twenties.
"D-Don't try to flirt with me, Asmodeus! You might be a rank C adventurer... but what if the enemy is like that damn cave you visited the other week, or the monster tide you and those knights helped stave off a few days ago?"
"Mary~ don't listen to this womanising playboy. We'll be fine, since me and Vinea are going with him, fufu."
Yumiko looked rather sexy in her pitch-black pants that were tight yet flexible and her lovely layered white and dark blue blouse hiding her silver gauntlets, which finally were upgraded to the second stage.
Stage two artefacts allowed her to change the pattern and look slightly. Also, her swords were stronger when the blades flicked out. Not only that, but she could now manifest a full set of silver and black armour up to her neck.
"Haa... Vinea can't you speak to him? It's something strange that the danger is high but reward is so low!"
"Sorry Mary~ but my beloved lord wants to do this. I cannot stands against the man who makes my heart race and is the reason I want to become stronger, fufu."
"Haha, Vinea and Yumiko when did you both become so adorable?"
"Shut up, Asmodeus!" Yumiko scolded him, her four tails tapping his legs while she blushed. Her love for him didn't fade but became more intense after he started giving Liana more attention. Thus, she forced this quest so he would be with her for four days at least.
"Hmph.... you slept with my sister first."
However, the fact he brought Vinea made her feel jealous... Because although the pair had done nothing but drink together and train. Vinea was someone who seemed to be closer to Asmodeus than most other girls.
'No... both her and Liana are so close to his heart these days I feel terrified I will lose my Empress spot!'
"..." Asmodeus looked unpleased for a moment, but couldn't help but smile gently as he noticed Yumiko's true feelings as her tails all wrapped around his leg.
'Such a needy little fox...'
"Whatever!" Mary complained, her body slumping over the desk. She knew he would ignore her warning from the moment she took over as their guild liaison. He never once stopped when she said it might be dangerous... Even though her only skill is "Danger Sense Lv.10", he would just laugh like a brainless fool.
"Mmm... let Liana grow closer to Erika and Sariel. Those three seem to enjoy questing together, while Ciela is gaining a lot from Fredricka at the moment... Alice and Velvet asked me to join them on a long journey after this quest though."
"How annoying..." Yumiko said as she folded her arms, her cheeks puffing up cutely.
"You are the one who allowed me to have other women as my Empress, so you should put up with it, Yumiko."
"Hmph, you are only allowed to tease me when we are alone. Forget the other women!"
"Ahem... I am here, Lady Yumiko." Vinea coughed, while her hands slipped down the chest of Asmodeus, while she gave Yumiko a sly grin.
"To look after our lord and his needs, fufu~" Vinea teased as she slid her tongue up his neck while her hand started to rub between his legs.
"Says the virgin~ Hahaha! Back off, Vinea!" Yumiko's eyes turned dull, her hand grasping the arm of Vinea before she could touch his crotch. The two women were always like this. Vinea is a cat, while Yumiko is a little fox.
Asmodeus pushed the two women and moved to his horse. The muscular warhorse looked at him with a serene gaze. It was a beautiful black with a thick, silky mane.
Despite being a female, it was already in control of the horses they kept and drained the males every night like its master did the surrounding females.
'In truth, this horse isn't a warhorse but a demon race... called a Nightmare which would evolve into a Bicorn eventually.'
"Do we have enough supplies and backup weapons, camp gear...?" He asked the two women who were wrestling in a grapple.
"Yes, Lord Asmodeus, we are ready."
"We have food, water, and spare potions, and also camping equipment, clothing, and other things, Asmodeus."
The two quickly separated after hearing his words and straightened their clothes, their faces flushing slightly because of the looks of the villagers.
However, he didn't stop their clashing because it helped Yumiko and Vinea release their stress and issues...
Asmodeus knew Yumiko was kind and accepted anything, but she never released her anger and irritation until Vinea appeared. Someone who could take her power and even beat her if she didn't pay attention.
'They are like sisters always fighting like cats and dogs.'
Yet when it mattered most, Yumiko would protect Vinea with her life and the same for Princess Vinea. They were closer than anyone else in the camp, apart from Asmodeus himself.
"Since you two are done playing, shall we head off? There is still a lot of sun left before nightfall. Let's try to clear this quest and return before it becomes troublesome. It's almost time to head to the south."
"Of course Asmodeus..."
"Understood, Lord Asmodeus."
