Chapter 255: Journey to the Land of Frogs at the Bottom of a Well

Chapter 255: Journey to the Land of Frogs at the Bottom of a Well

Two days had passed since I brought the cultivators to the Ichijo residence which caused various events.

Mr. Ichijo managed to make an agreement with the families of Marika and Chitoge. The three families demanded an explanation from the Will of the World since the Arifureta incident could have caused the death of three heirs which would be a disaster for the political structure of Japan and the United States.

Alaya did not respond directly, but sent a representative to negotiate as the combined power of the three families is not something that can be ignored.

Mr. Ichijo was shrewd and didn't push too hard to avoid a direct confrontation with Alaya, instead, he set up an agreement for the three families to have greater control of their territories as well as set up punishment for cultivators for encroaching on the foreign territory without a valid reason.

The cultivators were returned to China, though I did leave some mind parasites in their souls. When needed I can drive them insane with Haachama's 'Chaos Madness' which will make them frenzied and self-destructive.

This incident also helped to create a better relationship between the three families so my engagement with Chitoge still stands while I now have an engagement with Marika.

The plan to unify Japan through a harem is progressing too well which makes me think that a stupid problem is about to start so I can only prepare for the worst.

On the other hand, Chitoge already knows that Seiji and Luis are the same people since I 'told her' during the illusionary dream.

At first, she was furious with me for hiding the truth from her, but then she was relieved as her heart was conflicted being in love with two people, Seiji and Luis.

She won't want to talk to me for a few days, but she already agreed to be part of my harem so everything is going smoothly, the only thing that worries me is that Claude and the other members of Bee Hive Gang haven't tried to assassinate me so they must be preparing something very annoying.

Anyway, for now, my love life is not the most important point but what happens in political matters.

Mr. Ichijo was furious at the cultivators' attack as this is a spit in the face of the Ichijo family and all of Japan.

My boss did not lose his rationality and did not act recklessly, but began a long negotiation with the Chinese government to demand compensation.

The Tachibana family is focused on politics so they put pressure on the Chinese government on the grounds that this is a military invasion on foreign soil.

Bee Hive Gang said that this incident affected their business and commercial ties with Japan, so they will make an economic claim.

The Ichijo family will say that this endangered the lives of two Guardians which will create conflict between the Chinese government and the cultivator sects.

Politics, economics, and supernatural forces, the Chinese government's compensation will be in three problem areas.

While all this is going on, I have a mission.

I am going to China to cause internal problems and destabilize the supernatural forces.

Mr. Ichijo told me that my actions must be discreet since I won't be able to use my Administrator Authority in the middle of enemy territory, but I have plans of my own.

For starters, I'm going to kill the jerk who put Senko's life in danger even if it brings me into direct conflict with the government.

It's stupid to leave potential dangers so I'll root out the problem even if I have to cause a world war.

My second goal is to investigate the origin of the goddess within Lin Ruoxi since [Paranoia] warned me that the situation with that goddess is something that could become a threat to all of Gaia and it's even possible that Beast VII is involved.

(Author's Note: Li Ruoxi from My Wife is a Beautiful CEO)

By the way, I can already say the name of that entity without risk of being discovered, she is called U-Olga Marie.

With my enhanced skills in [Reader's Madness], I thought to extract information from the second human soul inside Lin Ruoxi, but she is too weak and the slightest contact with my skills can kill her by accident, for now, I can only keep her restrained with [Anti- Rasen] and look for her daughter.

I have no evidence, but I'm sure this shit is the fault of the plot armor to force me to get involved in something very stupid. Shit author.

Anyway, I spent the last few days talking to my harem about the business trip I'm going on, plus I left various space marks on their bodies to prevent any stupid accidents from happening while I'm in China.

Thanks to Abby and BB's skills I can get back to Japan in less than a second to deal with any problem plus I put space marks on my wives to take them to the Rasen Dimension in case of extreme danger, so they will be safe even if it appears an entity at the level of Azathoth.

A pleasant surprise was that Mr. Ichijo got me a privilege from the Will of the World.

Since I'm a Hero, it's not uncommon for me to have familiars or companions from another world.

Before I was allowed to bring my companions as long as they hide their identities and don't cause trouble, now they can also help me fight in case I get involved in a fight against supernatural entities.

As long as I don't strike first, I'll be justified in summoning a group of goddesses to destroy my enemies. I plan to use Angeloids as the main combat partners within Gaia as it is not uncommon for Angels to work alongside a Hero.

I called Umaru to tell her I'm going on a trip and left enough food for her to stay home for a year, even though I'm only going away for three weeks.

She replied that it's no problem and I just have to get back safely, although she mentioned that recently our mother has been acting strange as if her mind is in the clouds, she also keeps muttering Seiji's name...

I definitely won't be going home for a long time.

For this mission, I will be Lin Ruoxi's bodyguard using the identity of a young Chinese man named 'Lu San'... I know, I have no creativity.

The Ichijo family has many records of false identities so I easily became a freelance 19-year-old mercenary, there are even records of my supposedly successful missions which gives credence to my identity.

On this trip, Lin Ruoxi will take the staff of her company back to China to retake control of her company's main headquarters since there were problems during the time she has been away from it.

Apparently, some assholes have been taking advantage of my wife's absence to line their pockets at which my wife is furious.

Since there are several people who return to China, Xiao Bai will accompany me while she pretends to be Lin Ruoxi's assistant.

(Author's Note: Xiao Bai from My Beautiful Teacher)

Although Xiao Bai is not that strong, she is talented and stubborn so she managed to withstand the spiritual and genetic enhancements, now she is at the level of an elite warrior of this world. She's not a decent level, but she's enough for a bodyguard.

Now Xiao Bai is doing her last round of training to get used to using a spatial movement artifact created with the materials of Paradise and Abby's skills.

Although my organization has not yet been officially created, I already have artifacts comparable to the treasures of large groups thanks to the union of the resources I have accumulated and the joint efforts of System Goddess, Shigure, Shiguma, Daedalus, and Miledi.

Leaving the context aside, I already have almost all my preparations ready, now I just have to prepare one last thing.

"All set senpai~" – BB spoke with a big smile.

Right now I'm in a pocket dimension created by Abby. This place is out of Alaya's sight so I can do whatever I want here.

Navi joked that now I can abuse lolis without being discovered by the UN of the multiverse, the problem is that BB confirmed that this is true... The multiverse is absurd.

In fact, if it wasn't for me putting up [Anti-Rasen] wards when I was with Yue and Arisa then the UN of the multiverse would really have sought me out to lecture me while remaining passive and useless.

I insist, the multiverse is ridiculous.

I sighed and focused on the ring in my hands.

"Yes, that's why it's exhausting" – Nyaruko nodded.

"Shut up for a moment... I want to sleep..." – Abby yawned with extreme exhaustion.

"Senpai, don't let the loli fall asleep" – BB sighed. – "The Ancient Ones and Outer Gods are heavy sleepers so if she falls asleep she may not wake up for a couple of centuries"

That would be a problem...

I picked up the sleeping Gogh with a big smile, walked over to Abby, and touched her leg with my foot to use [Hero's Martyrdom].

For an Outer God, fatigue is similar to a mental wound and this skill can absorb physical, mental, and spiritual wounds.

My migraine increased to a still tolerable level so it doesn't matter.

I absorbed all the women's injuries making my head feel like it was going to explode, but again, this is already normal.

Chiyo approached me with a worried expression. - "Are you okay? Do you want to sleep on Onee-san's lap?"

I smiled wryly as I made sure Gogh was comfortable in my arms. – "I'm fine, anyway, I can't sleep, although I'll do it later"

I'm the only Outer God who can't use the Dream Realm to ease my migraine, how depressing.

"Don't worry" - BB smiled. – "Senpai is a masochist so a little migraine doesn't matter"

My lip trembled. – "I am resigned to suffering while a masochist enjoys suffering"

"Hey Listen! The tsundere dog is a sadist and masochist!" – Navi appeared next to me.

"Senpai can be both, he has multiple personality disorder, or dissociative personality" – BB smirked at me.

"It doesn't matter what your fetishes are" – Chiyo smiled at me. – "Your Onee-san will always love you~"

Abby tugged at my sleeve to get my attention. – "Abby is a good girl, but if you want, Abby can be a bad girl..."

...

"Pffffffff ahahahahahaha loli is going to whip you with a leather whip!" – Nafvi fell to the ground laughing.

"Wh-Wh-Whip?!" – Abby blushed like a tomato, although it is worrying that she seems to like the idea.

I sighed. – "Abby, do not be corrupted by these idiots"

Abby didn't hear me, her mind is lost in a place I don't want to know.

This is shit...

[System Notification: The energy 'Reader's Madness' has created the skill 'Masochism (100%)']

[Masochism: I want a milf to sit on my face!

When the user is in any kind of pain (physical, mental, emotional, or spiritual), the pain can be converted into energy to power other abilities. There is no limit to the amount of power that can be added to skills, but too much power can decrease skill control.

Warning: Using this skill can lead to pain addiction (Effect negated by the 'Obsession' stat)]

...

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA WELCOME TO THE CLUB HAHAHAHAHA!"

"Mythomania, Paranoia, Schizophrenia, Sadism, Dissociative Identity and now Masochism... It seems that senpai needs a psychiatrist, but don't worry senpai, I love you even if you are a yandere pervert with no culture~"

"Oh, he's like a deranged version of a generic protagonist who uses the deadly sins... He's so uncreative that he deserves to be a system user, hey, what's next? An eating disorder? Depression? You look like you're about to develop burnout, or maybe a sexual disorder focused on lolis..."

.....

If it wasn't for the fact that I have to take care of Gogh, I would have liked to hit these idiots...

"Hey bitch, start moaning like the masochistic bitch you are hahahaha!"

Fine, these idiots asked for it.

I sighed sadly. – "It is depressing that you make fun of me"

"Huh? What's with that pathetic reaction?" – BB was confused without noticing two people behind her.

"I have a bad feeling" – Nyaruko tilted her head in confusion.

"Fucking tsundere dog aaahhh! I'm not a fucking chew toy!"

"Wait, I was just curious! I wasn't making fun of him!"

"Senpai is so cruel to BB-chan! *Real crying because that hurts, damn it*"

"Don't bother friend....."

"You damned bastards made my little brother sad..."

"The master called me..."

Kon hadn't shown up here in a while.

"Your methods are funny" – Haachama sat next to me while she ate some strange ramen with spiders.

I shrugged. – "The methods do not matter, only the results"

"Nyaruko..." – Kuuko wanted to help Nyaruko, but she also enjoyed seeing the girl's panicked expression so she didn't get involved.

"Should I hit them too?" – Abby asked me innocently.

I smiled and stroked her hair. – "Don't worry, do you want a cookie?"

Abby nodded happily.

So we relaxed while the three idiots were chased by three angry women.
