In the Supreme Castle of the Moon Demon’s central city, at the top of the Demon Realm, the six Demon Lords gathered.
It had been a long time since the six sisters last met.
Logically, they should be excited.
However, from the beginning, Airi had been impatient, as if wanting to leave as soon as possible.
The six sisters reacted differently to Airi’s behavior.
“Return to the Human Realm?” Sara said, exasperated, “You just came back a few days ago, and you’re already in such a hurry to go back?”
Sara’s resentment was obvious, even tinged with a hint of jealousy, like a mother about to marry off her daughter.
Clearly, Sara had guessed why Airi was so eager to return to the Human Realm.
Airi was still impatient.
“Sister Sara, you’ve already made all the necessary arrangements, and we just need to cooperate with you, right?” Airi said bluntly, “Sister Shafney and Sister Lid are enough to help you with strategizing. It doesn’t matter whether I’m here or not.”
Airi had always been like this, laid-back. Although capable of thinking, she disliked it, preferring to sleep, always leaving matters of the Demon Race to Sara, even entrusting the affairs of her own territory to her subordinates, completely hands-off.
If it weren’t for this, Airi wouldn’t have been able to spend so much time in the Human Realm, adventuring with Shien.
This time was the same. Airi only planned to return and cooperate with Sara, not to do any actual work.
Unexpectedly, such a major event happened while she was back in the Demon Realm.
This made Airi extremely anxious, eager to return to the Human Realm.
Not only Sara, but the other sisters also noticed this.
Especially Lid, who, like Sara, was displeased.
“Since when did you become so concerned about a single person?”
Lid saw through Airi’s thoughts. After all, she had met the person Airi cared about.
“Shien?” Millu tilted her head and called out his name.
This piqued the interest of the other sisters.
“Are you talking about the human that little Airi favors and even declared her protection over?” Shafney said, seemingly very interested, “I heard that person is the Hero who’s been causing such a commotion recently, right?”
Shafney’s words made Airi look at her.
“What do you want?” Airi asked, a look of warning and vigilance in her eyes.
However, this only intensified Shafney’s interest.
“Don’t be nervous, little Airi, I’m just curious about the man you favor,” Shafney chuckled, her words and laughter ambiguous, “I’ve wanted to meet him ever since I heard about it, and I even planned to go to the Human Realm specifically for that. Who knew such a major event would happen, and that person is actually the Hero summoned after a thousand years? I was truly surprised.”
Kamina echoed Shafney’s words.
“I was also a little curious and planned to go to the Human Realm and see,” Kamina said, her eyes flickering thoughtfully, “A human who could even make the indifferent Airi interested is truly intriguing. But the fact that he’s the Hero is quite surprising.”
Kamina’s tone seemed to carry a hint of malice.
If Shafney’s curiosity towards Shien was like finding an interesting toy, then Kamina’s curiosity was like having a toy taken away from her, faintly displeased.
There was no helping it.
“You’ve never been so concerned and anxious about our matters,” Kamina said, expressing her dissatisfaction.
Clearly, these Demon Lord sisters were very concerned about their youngest sister, Airi.
Otherwise, these renowned Demon Lords wouldn’t pay so much attention to Shien just because Airi favored him.
Airi, however, was annoyed by this.
“Don’t you dare have any ideas about him. He can’t handle your recklessness,” Airi warned her sisters.
Unfortunately, this had the opposite effect.
“Don’t say that,” Shafney said with a meaningful smile, “Someone who can make our little sister so interested shouldn’t be afraid of me, right?”
“Indeed,” Kamina agreed, “He’s the Hero, protected by the Holy Sword. Even a little physical contact shouldn’t ‘melt’ him, right?”
The two witches’ words made Airi frown deeply.
Honestly, she didn’t want them to interact with Shien at all.
The reason was simple: it was too dangerous.
Unlike Airi, who had somewhat restrained her ruthlessness after the war ended, Kamina, the Poison Demon, considered as ruthless as the Dragon Demon, was still unpredictable and volatile.
Coupled with her terrifying abilities, it would be no joke if she personally contacted Shien.
Although Millu was also dangerous, her danger was controllable. With Lid by her side, and as long as one could please her, this Ghost Demon wouldn’t lose control.
But Kamina was different.
Millu’s danger wasn’t intentional. She was actually quite innocent and naive, just sometimes going a bit too far.
Kamina, however, was intentionally dangerous. If truly displeased, she wouldn’t hesitate to destroy a country or two.
How could Airi not be worried about letting such a being interact with Shien?
Fortunately, as Kamina said, Shien was the Hero, protected by the Holy Sword, so he shouldn’t be killed by Kamina’s abilities.
