Chapter 52: 52- Movement and an unexpected challenge.

Serafall brought my idea to the next meeting, which was only Ajuka and Sirzech, and they decided to accept it after some thought, the problem...

Manpower.

It's not that they don't have people who can do the job of bushing and imprisoning the top ten rankers of the Rating Games and their peerage members, the issue is finding trustworthy Devils.

Yeah... with the entire old satan surviving under their noses And expanding their influence they don't know who to trust so no information about the entire thing is leaked.

Surprisingly, Sera mentioned me for the job, but... politics...

They can't have an outsider doing it because of politics…

Unfortunately.

I had planned to flood the underworld with hundreds of monsters and horrors, including facehuggers, drones, and even a queen...

What a waste.

This caused the whole thing to be delayed for a while, they used this time to make preparations, planning, and gathering information about the targets and attempting to uncover some of their connections with the old Satan faction.

During times like this, I realize how great the idea of being a tyrant in my own faction is, and despite what it may sound like, the kids have a positive impression of the girls and, therefore, of me because they girls are respectful and lovely with me. 

Is it wrong to semi-brainwash children? Yes, but I'm not going to exploit or harm them, and their lives are better because of me, so... I don't feel bad about it.

Doing something good to compensate for the bad things I do and vice versa… that's how I do things.

…

The next problem is…

Sona and her gift.

I've had a good relationship with Sona since I visited her a couple of times because Serafall wanted me to get to know her.

There's not much to say about my relationship with her, aside from the fact that she 'hates' me because I'm the one who suggested all the new cosplay that her sister makes for her to wear.

But, like her sister, I'm the only one who doesn't want to court her or compete in a marriage rating game... which usually ends in chess and the kids throwing a tantrum after losing

Because Devils are a long-lived race, 'young' also refers to people in their thirties or forties, as they don't age much...

It's quite amusing to see how thin and close their end is when Sera is watching...

I have to hand it to Sera, her patience is admirable. I would have blasted the guys well before if I were in the same situation and someone harassed my girls. 

I doubt she'll let the... more 'aggressive' ones go tho… 

Fortunately, because it can change forms, I don't have to worry about what kind of accessory I make.

The game is simple, with golems destroying each other, similar to the one in Harry Potter, but with some differences.

You can change the color and theme of the pieces, and you can make them into any color, material, or type of piece, such as knights or animals, including just normal black and white pieces. 

Or…  Make it into a portable chess board instead of changing the whole room. 

The final part is the addition of a Monster created with Annihilation Maker that is talented at chess and can improve and learn on its own while playing, with options such as difficulty and style of play, or... you can simply set everything to random.

Hope she likes it.

....

Other problems… 

Well, the cookie stuffing squirrel Ophis is happy and smiling a lot while she's with us, and she's always playing with the kids we've recruited.

She likes the white room idea, but not as much as she likes the dimensional gap.

It's quiet, but at the end of the day, Ophis was created there, making her feel at 'home.'

At the very least, we compensate with lots of cuddling, hugs, kisses, and cookies, so she doesn't want to leave the house and is frequently sleeping and lazing with Shirone.

But things aren't so happy everywhere...

People are disappearing all over the world, slowly and in dozens, but it appears the other organizations have begun to take the same approach we have in fear of their 'potential' members disappearing...

More problems…

Also, some attacks were carried out in our town and Britain, where Mordred and the kids reside, and were mostly carried out by Devils...

Seems like they are retaliating…  maybe the Khals Brigade? More problems… 

Nothing that Jeanne, Jalter, and Kei couldn't handle on their own.

As for me...

…

"Shishou… I'm completely exhausted..." While lying on the floor, I grunted.

Shishou training is terrifying because she doesn't hold back against me, and having your mind tearing up is stressful, not to mention the headaches I'm getting from her attacks that target my consciousness. 

"... Let's call it a day here... You're making good progress, and I'm impressed with how far you've come in the last few months." Shishou said this to me as she dispersed her thousands of spears, which literally filled the entire training ground.

Killing the monsters I make, Pursuing my real body or forcing me to evade with a literal rain of spears… 

One thing is for sure, shoushou knows how to drive me to the limit and because I can heal back quite fast and she cant kill me…

Usually when you push someone to their limits you need to make sure that the pressure is not enough to not break them even if they fail to get past that limit but for me…

My body heals back to a perfect state thanks to my first wish [Healthy Body] and because a 'healthy body' requires a healthy mind and soul… 

Let's just say that Shishou can do whatever she wants and I will get back without fear of leaving permanent injuries or having to wait for my body to recover or having to heal it with her runes during hours, sometimes days.

To put it simply, my training is both efficient to the max due to maximizing the time I'm training and effective due to the difficulty of it that doesn't drop while a normal person can only last so long before needing to recover or heal to not cause permanent damage to their bodies...

But the results are equally impressive… My physical strength is increasing by the day, and my mental abilities are constantly improving, from easier and more efficient to more versatile and 'solid' ways of using it, making my summons bordering something real and of course stronger. 

"You're surprised? So, how about a reward? "I told her, closing my eyes, that no matter how hard I tried to control my desires... Shishou is truly gorgeous, and with that tight suit... I don't want to stare at her unconsciously, so I close my eyes and try to relax.

"A reward? Sure, I suppose you deserve it, so what do you want? You can ask for… anything " She said with a calm voice while she slowly walked toward me.

I opened my eyes because I didn't expect her to agree and asked if she was sure.

"Anything?" I had to close my eyes again and try to relax... It appears that the method is not as effective as I had hoped; I am still unable to control some emotions when they get too strong.

I forgot how annoying puberty was, and puberty combined with one of the most beautiful women in the world and her wearing a tight battle suit...

In situations like this, my heightened senses are problematic...

It would be a real problem if I didn't react to it, and lately... it's gotten worse...

I opened my eyes again and looked into her eyes to see how she responded… Even if I can't usually read her face, I have to try...

"Anything," she said, crouching down with a smile and a gaze I can't quite read...

The worst part is that Shishou undoubtedly noticed my problem, so... I'm not sure if she's teasing me, testing me, or really means it...

She's right next to me, casting a shadow over me, and it's not wrong to say that all I can see right now is her; my entire focus is on her, and my eyes can't help but wander...

"I need to rest, so... a lap... pillow?" When I saw her smile widen, I couldn't help but think of the first 'proper' thing that came to mind as my gaze was drawn to her thighs.

"...." She looked me in the eyes as her smile widened a little more and slowly changed into a teasing one, but she still didn't say anything. 

".... I could only wait as my mind wandered...

I already touched her chest and gave her a 'massage' when I summoned her, so maybe...

Stop it brain! 

All I could do is silently wait while fighting against my own head..s

"Of course." As she said this, she sat near me, her knees together and touching the floor, and signaled for me to rest my head there, as is usual for Japanese people.

So I did, but...

"I thought you'd pick something... more " She asked, teasingly, but I can't open my eyes to look at her face.

I played by myself, and now I can't open my eyes because the only thing I can see when I try to look up at her face is... the things that are in between...

"Would you agree if I asked for something like... that?" I responded with a question, knowing full well that she would not do it.

"As I said before, you deserve to be rewarded for your performance and achievements, so... no, you couldn't have asked for much more than this... Training alone will not be enough, Ahm." She confirmed my guess while also informing me of some interesting news...

"I could be asked for more? Like what? " I was curious about how far I could go with this much.

"Mmm… You like dressing the girls in different clothes, some of which are quite... unique; something like that won't be a problem, and I'm sure you'd enjoy it... Yes, it does include something as revealing as a bikini." She teased me, followed by a giggle... to think she knew about my hobby of dressing up girls...

What can I say, we also play mock battles between ourselves, and I always win because I'm stronger but even knowing they still do it... So... this is the prize for winning, a bet of sorts, and despite what Jalter says all three of them love to show off their bodies to me and even compete on it sometimes.

Having a maid avenger with a red face is quite the sight...

Of course, I occasionally cosplay as something they ask for and play the role of a butler or something similar for them.

Well… It is not a surprise she knows about it and her clothes are quite revealing so that's also not a surprise either. 

"Just curious… What do I need to do for… more? " I asked since I'm curious, just curious and nothing else.

"Well... if you can beat me in a fight... I'll be... yours..." She told me this while placing her hand on my face and getting closer to me to the point where I could feel her breath and her hair falling in my face, and I couldn't help but react by opening my eyes to look at her...

Her wine-colored eyes staring at me from so close, her scent combined with those inviting eyes are enough to entice me... and that's without even mentioning her chest, which is also very close...

I forget that because she rules the land of shadows, she has the memory and skills of all classes and professions; provoking someone like me is easy for her, especially given how unstable I am right now.

I understand why she's doing it, the stick and the carrot, giving me hope and a goal with an enticing reward, but...

"I don't want to win you that way... Shishou… you already know it well "I told her sincerity, and her smile brightened.

"You can be quite stupid at times... Do you really think I'd do this with anyone who can beat me?" As she explained, I realized I had a problem with my thinking...

She won't, she'll only pick one person, and she won't do it unless she's thought about it for days and is certain of her choice...

She then walked away, leaving me to ponder her words.

Shishou, on the other hand... She promised to teach Ahm to the best of her abilities…  with everything she had, so sadly… she is now a teacher before she is a woman...

The Saint and the Avenger... Her second disciple Kei, as well as that devil girl and, most likely, that Lion cub based on her actions...

Scáthach said with a smile before departing something that made Ahm's mind stop working for a couple minutes. 

"If you can injure or surprise me in a real fight... I'll let you do whatever you want for the entire night, or maybe… more depending on your... performance " Her voice echoed throughout the room.

Sorry, but I'm not going to lose to some little girls. Scáthach thought as she walked out of the room.

If I am unable to win the war... I will win a decisive battle, one that will go down in history.
