Shien remembered when he took these three Demon Lords to Lasha’s shop, letting them see Lasha calmly working as a shop assistant, their hesitant expressions seemed to convey a thousand unspoken words.
And when they saw those elves and foreign women calling Lasha “elder sister” and offering high prices to poach her, these three Demon Lords almost charged forward.
Airi and Lid were still alright; they at least controlled themselves.
But Millu didn’t have that kind of self-control. She charged forward on the spot, almost causing a bloody incident.
After this chaotic episode, Shien decided to occasionally spend some time with this amazing elder sister, helping her at the shop, to prevent any further incidents.
A dignified Hero and Earl of the Kingdom working as a shop assistant in the Elven Homeland, it was truly unbelievable.
Even Lucy couldn’t help but say,
“I think it’s best if you let this maid avoid the public eye in the future. Something will happen.”
Thanks for the advice. I’ve already deeply experienced it, thank you very much.
Just like that, the countdown to the end of the Peace Festival gradually approached.
Later on, Shien even went out with Airi, Lid, and Millu a few times, though he wasn’t sure if those counted as dates.
This trip, no one came for nothing.
Aside from the commotion at the beginning, Shien and his companions had spent a rather leisurely and pleasant time in the Elven Homeland.
Lucy was satisfied.
Lilith was satisfied.
Yulin was satisfied.
Lasha… well, she became a legend.
Even Millu had a lot of fun, running around the Elven Homeland all day. Fortunately, Lasha and Lilith were there to look after her, otherwise, she might have really caused some trouble.
On the other hand, Airi and Lid weren’t interested in the festival. They either slept or drank tea, living like elderly people.
As for Shien himself…
“I guess I had my fun too, right?”
Thinking about this trip to the Elven Homeland, not only did he enjoy the festival with the women around him, but he also made a breakthrough with Melika, who had become the Goddess of Nature’s blessed one and was about to be transformed. Shien was satisfied.
It was just a pity that beneath this peace and harvest, some things that had surfaced also brought a bit of gloom.
The Apostle of the Old Demon Faction’s Original Demon had appeared in public for the first time, making many who knew the inside story worried.
For the past thousand years, this oldest and most mysterious Old Demon Faction had been very low-key and secretive, never directly exposing themselves.
This time, not only had an Apostle appeared, but the Apostle had also been vanquished. Although this was a good thing, it also felt like a storm was brewing.
After all, the Original Demon had started to show its head.
So, things definitely wouldn’t be peaceful from now on, right?
Because of this, Lid intended to return to the Demon Realm to discuss this matter with her sisters.
Sophie also planned to contact the leaders of the various human factions regarding this matter.
Shien didn’t plan to stay idle either.
Because, next, he was preparing to head to the Empire.
There, a little girl was waiting for him.
“I promised you a month, and it’s almost up, isn’t it?”
Shien would sometimes look towards the Empire and murmur like this.
With the one-month deadline approaching, Diere was still nowhere to be found, clearly indicating that her objective hadn’t been achieved yet.
Perhaps, the girl had encountered a difficult situation.
In that case…
“I should also set off.”
Shien recalled his agreement with the prince.
“Mara… huh?”
This mysterious Imperial Consort, who was very likely connected to the Old Demon Faction, was Shien’s next target.
He had decided to delve into some secrets and unravel some mysteries.
With his current strength, he was qualified to do so, right?
That mysterious Imperial Consort named Mara was Shien’s first target.
From her, he might learn something.
Also, Shien wanted to go to the Divine Realm.
His purpose, naturally, was to find Nien.
“The First Hero…”
What was the relationship between this Hero, who had the exact same name as the goddess who summoned him, and the goddess herself?
Shien wanted to find out.
By then, perhaps, the reason why he was summoned to this world would finally come to light.
Lost in thought, Shien became absentminded.
Little did he know that someone was watching him with deep eyes, and someone else was planning to contact him, about to stir up all sorts of trouble.
