Where on earth are these girls going? Just imagining it is terrifying.
Honestly, they already had enough military power to make one believe they would take over the world. The fact they were planning on doing it without anyone dying is terrifying.
I was getting torn between the curiosity of wanting to hear more about it and the fear of hearing it because once I did, there was a strong possibility that I would never be able to go back. So, I decided to ask since it would be for the best.
Either way, as long as my people don’t die, I’m fine with them doing it. By no means was I unable to ask because I was a slacker, but rather, it was an option that I did not need to ask because I felt that the girls’ safety was assured.
“Still, it’s getting big, isn’t it?”
“Yes, you’re right! It’s all thanks to the Master! Oh, and by the way, there are currently 666 slaves, all of whom have sworn their allegiance to you, dear Master!”
That’s right, Anna, the centaur girl, answered my words with a sparkle in her eyes.
In case you were wondering, I was riding on Anna’s back at her request, not forcing her to carry me on her back, which would be something she wouldn’t want to do. I hope the slaves looking at us with envy will not make the mistake of thinking I am the only one who gets to do this.
By the way, aren’t 666 people a bit too many?
The number keeps going up because my slaves are buying other slaves at regular prices as if they were picking up stray dogs and cats.
And the number is too ominous. Does this mean I’m kind of like Satan?
“Ah. Also, Master, if you say you want an empire, I’ll make this country yours the instant you want it.”
And when Anna said this out loud, the slaves lined up neatly and kneeled down in front of me in a quick and ceremonious manner.
“Now, your orders.”
This sight alone would make it seem as if all this time I’ve been building and raising slave troops to take over the Empire.
How did this happen?
“No, now is not the time.”
And I know this was a bad move, but in the end, I can’t deny it and had to postpone the problem.
Yeah, I’m sure I’ll sort it all out in the future.
Good luck, future me.

“Humu, another flying iron bird sighted…”
“There have been a lot of them recently. Since there has been no damage to the Empire as of yet, it is difficult for us to determine what we should do.”
“After real dragons, we got flying demons we’ve never seen before…”
