"Hm?"
Nagasawa grunted as she saw Dante entering with Rose, and Rose on his head... Experience more on m v|l -novelhall.net
"I thought we were going to spend some time together." Nagasawa shot a sly look.
Dante merely...
Whistled softly...
"Well... you bastard..." She murmured, walking toward him, already on edge, ready to...
"Ophis, you'd better get down..." Dante murmured, placing the girl on the floor...
'I swear I've seen this scene somewhere before...' He thought, watching her approach, like a page from a truly bizarre manga...
She walked over and looked into his eyes, staring, before finally...
A sharp sound filled the air as she slapped Dante's face...
Rose looked on, surprised, frightened, and then scared...
'W-what was that?' She wondered, feeling an unusual kind of fear. Since meeting Dante, besides his displays of power, she had begun to experience many new emotions—fear, curiosity, and especially a desire for more, to be part of new things... It was truly fascinating to be near this man...
The slap didn't hurt, or at least didn't seem to affect Dante... but Nagasawa... that smile from Dante penetrated her mind, making her even more furious, and she raised her hand to strike again.
'!!!' In the middle of the strike, Dante grabbed her arm and pulled her into a tight embrace.
"Do that again and you'll feel many sensations I'd love to pour into you," Dante whispered into Nagasawa's ear, making her shiver instantly as she felt his warm breath on her ear.
Her whole body tingled.
"But now is not the time for that." He said, turning his attention to a small sphere in his hand, like one of the transmission spheres.
'Does he think we can't hear? I mean... we're vampires...' Rose murmured while Ophis seemed embarrassed behind her.
'He keeps drawing reactions I've never seen from this little girl,' She thought, observing Ophis.
"Sorry, okay? When we return from the Rulers' Meeting, we'll go to my mansion outside the capital and have some fun for a few weeks," Dante said, patting Nagasawa's head.
Nagasawa pouted but nodded softly; she had already done many things with Dante that she hadn't had the chance to before.
She didn't mind as much as she seemed; just knowing he was thinking of her was enough.
Seeing that she was okay with it, Dante turned to Rose and Ophis.
"I'll go to my kingdom to organize things... You should return and talk to Vlad about what he needs to do," Dante said, smiling. "Yes, I figured you'd say that. So, we'll say goodbye here," Rose said with a bitter smile.
'Don't be like that... I'll come back to get you for myself,' Dante sent a mental message to her. He wouldn't dare say it in front of Nagasawa, knowing how she was...
Rose immediately blushed upon hearing that. 'W-who wants you to come get me for yourself! You pervert! Your wife is right here!' She insulted him while taking Ophis's hand, who gave only a wave goodbye.
"Bye, little one, I'll see you later." Dante said with a smile... 'You'd better explain a few things to me... Dragon of Infinity.' He said via communication.
'Don't order me around, War Dragon.' She replied, her eyes focused directly on his heart.
Thus, the two left the mansion...
"Now... what will we do?" Nagasawa asked.
"Blame Sara," Lyrianna shrugged.
"W-what?! You were the one eyeing him but didn't want to admit it! I just gave you the reasons!" Sara defended herself.
"You said he wanted it! And I'm a woman! I have desires, okay? Especially now that I'm a literal succubus! Of course, I'd choose a demon!" Lyrianna shot back, accusing her daughter.
Nagasawa watched the scene unfold and couldn't help but let out a deep sigh. "Damn..." she muttered. "At least now our trio is complete, our group will prevail!" Sara said confidently.
"You made your mother give in to the temptation of sleeping with her daughter's husband just to form... a group?" Nagasawa questioned, making Sara seem... "Dante really corrupted you..." she murmured.
Sara blushed but then puffed out her chest and said, "I'm aware! And I wouldn't let my mother go around as a succubus, stealing the vitality of any man she wants! Unfortunately, the best man around is my husband, and he's inclined to have her for himself anyway. You know Dante... That look..."
"Dante Effect..." the two murmured together. Only Lyrianna didn't fully understand what that meant. She had heard about the 'Dante Effect,' but...
"Let's just drop it and go," Lyrianna murmured, trying to steer the conversation away, and they all nodded in agreement.
...
"So, everyone's here, right?" Dante remarked, surveying the powerful women before him.
"Lyrianna and Aldria were also invited," he continued, "which leaves us with three spots."
"Eastern Empire, Western Empire, and Hell," Dante listed, his gaze shifting among them. "Lyrianna, you'll take Sara. I need her to come with us." Lyrianna nodded in agreement.
"I don't have anyone else to bring anyway," she commented casually. Then Dante turned to Aldria. "I want you to take..." He scanned the women around him. "Voralith, let your scales show. You're coming with us," he said firmly. "Is that alright with you?" she asked Aldria.
"Y-yes, no problem... it's my first time as a ruler..." she replied, slightly hesitant.
"It's okay, you'll do great," Dante reassured her with a smile. "As for the rest of you..." He looked at the remaining women.
"Simon, can you track me?" he asked the old man.
"Yes, certainly," Simon replied confidently.
"The meeting will take place in Kryoris, at the central tower... Stay here and keep an eye on things. I'll take the sphere... if I break it, it means to send all of them to the top floor of the Tower," Dante explained, leaving everyone bewildered.
"By now, Vlad has already done what I needed," Dante murmured, looking at them. "Valentina and Morgana will head to the tower, so we'll have the three strongest women in the world on our side."
"Wait! What do you mean by that?" Aaralyn interrupted, confused. "Yes, what do you mean?" Vex chimed in.
"Dante... what are you planning?" Kaalindra murmured, being the only one there not directly linked to Dante.
"Me?... I'm just doing what I promised," he said with a smile.
Lilith looked at him with a possessive smile, her eyes nearly bursting with pink hearts.
"I'm simply following a path: Submission or Death," Dante declared, smiling as he uttered words he never thought would come from his mouth.
"There are people who might hinder the world's future development... so... it's time..."
"To erase those people."
Nagasawa looked at him... she could feel it... yes... It wasn't just her... even Lyrianna, standing beside her, had sensed what he meant...
Dante's demonic smile widened as Evangeline appeared by his side, holding the decapitated head of a witch, blood still dripping from her hands.
"I found them," she said, smiling.
"We're starting a war."
