Book 11: Chapter 7: Sage, Demon King and Dragon’s Shrine Maiden
I went overboard, it seemed.
It was cute seeing the usually dignified Kikyou be disheveled, so… I wanted to tease her.
And so, I went overboard.
I poured thousands of mana into her.
As a result —
Kikyou’s body was faintly glowing when we woke up.
She’s giving off that divine vibes.
— Oh, I was right.
I asked Shiro about it, and apparently, Kikyou had evolved into a Divine Beast.
Demon monsters could also conjure status boards.
So, we checked hers.
Race: Divine Beast (Nine-Tail)
— was what it said.
It seemed that I had created the sixth divine beast of this world.
I decided to take it positively that I would have additional powerful support for when I go to Evil God’s place.
It was great up to this point, but…
I went too far, so some of my wives refused to sleep with me.
Sylph, Hakua and Akari, those three.
That’s because Merdie and Elmia spread rumors that ‘Halt is a brute’.
I should chastise them later.
Sylph’s trio agreed to sleep with me if things calmed down for me. In the meantime, they wouldn’t do it with me, but —contemporary romance
They started to doubt me a lot, and they even thought that sleeping alone with me would be dangerous, so Sylph, Hakua and Akari decided to sleep with me together.
Moreover, In order to prevent me from forcing myself on them, Akari bound me with the string she created.
The status would change after being bound by that string.
Status: Restrained
— like that.
However, my status was already [fixed].
In that case —
“W-Why!? TIna told me that this string is beyond God’s Level!!”
“You can’t restrain me. My status is set in stone, after all.”
I easily removed the string that supposedly tied me very securely.
“Wai— Halt!! That’s unfair!!”
“You’re cheating with those clones!!”
I conjured two divine attribute magic clones and bound the trio with the string I took from Akari.
I really planned to just sleep with them without doing anything if they didn’t bind me.
There are times when the more you’re told not to do something, the more you wanna do it, right?
Moreover, these trio took advantage of me and started to do all sorts of pranks even after I obediently submitted to being restrained.
Well, they tried to tickle me under my arms and feet, but it totally didn’t work.
Thanks to my [frozen] status.
It seemed my body would assess tickles as a threat if I didn’t want them, and it would freeze my status.
It was a great lesson.
I have to thank them.
“W-Wait Haru-Nii. W-what’s with that feather!?”
“Oh, it’s the feather of the Divine Beast Phoenix.”
It was the immortal bird that would be reborn infinitely.
Shiro introduced her to me.
She gave me severa feathers back then.
It was the smoothest thing ever in this world, and it could soothe anyone who touched it, apparently.
In short, it was a feather with an extremely great texture, and I was holding it right now.
And now, a hero, a Hakuryuu, and the Wind Spirit King was lying on top of my bed, bound by a Genesis Level cord.
The trio were wearing tubes, so the soles of their feet, underarms, as well as their napes, were all completely exposed.
We’re already at this point, so there was only one thing I could do at this stage.
“Enjoy, you trio.”
I heartily soothed the three of them with the phoenix feather.
***
“Danna-sama, I’ll be obedient, so please do not bind me, or make clones, or use phoenix feathers on me. Ah, and please don’t force your mana on me.”
It was Sitri’s turn the following day.
I only used the phoenix feather on Sylph, Hakua and Akari because they teased me first. I only retaliated.
“I won’t do anything if you’re gonna sleep with me like usual.”
“Are you absolutely sure? It’s a promise, alright!?”
Seemed like everyone’s doubts about me were pretty bad now.
Well, I guess it was also my fault for not restraining myself and going overboard.
My wives were too adorable that I couldn’t hold back. I’m also a man, after all.
Sitri was also on guard against me. Let’s dispel those doubts by having a conversation, shall we.
“I already told you this, but… I’m going to Evil God to punch him. What do you think about this, Sitri?”
“What… I think of this, huh. That’s — ”
Sitri hugged me.
“I did say that you can punch him. But right now, part of me doesn’t want you to do that.”
“Did you realize you don’t want me to attack Evil God?”
“No, that’s not it. I’m okay with you hitting him. What I’m worried about is —”
Sitri raised her head, and she gazed into my eyes.
“Me?”
“Yes. After all that’s said and done, your opponent is still one of the deities of this world. Besides, didn’t Danna-sama’s powers come from Evil God-sama?”
Previously, Sitri didn’t know that Evil God bestowed the curse on me when I asked her if she was fine with me hitting that deity.
Some time had passed after that, and now, my entire family knew that I had been cursed by the Evil God.
“Yeah, you’re right. There’s a chance that he would take my power away, or else cast a far more powerful curse on me.”
“Then —“
“Then, Sitir, come save me if I land myself in a pinch.”
“Eh?”
I had never before asked anyone to save me, so Sitri was taken aback.
“I’m stronger than Evil God right now.”
I may sound like I’m bragging, but I don’t look down on him in anyway.
“Sitri and Akari can win against him, too.”
“Eh…Eh!?”
It’s true that I was stronger than Evil God.
My intuition was telling me so.
It’s also thanks to that that I knew Sitri and Akari are stronger than Evil God.
“I wouldn’t lose to him in a normal battle, but there’s also a high possibility that the Evil God would use curses or traps and other abnormal means to fight against me.”
“So, you’re telling me that I protect Danna-sama in case something happens — is that it?”
“Yeah. I’m gonna shove the Evil God first. Once I landed one punch on him then it was over. If ever I got caught in a trap or got cursed midway, save me, okay?”
Sitri looked at me blankly, then she suddenly burst out laughing.
“What a very funny scheme. I never imagined Danna-sama would ask for my help.”
“Really? But everyone’s been helping me tons.”
I didn’t do any chores, and all our living expenses were paid for by Tina.
“I’m referring to the battlefield. Danna-sama is someone who could easily tame a Demon King, after all. I never thought I would be able to be of help to someone like you.”
“Yup. It’d be best if I can finish this business on my own. But, I still want to be with everyone, so please save me just in case something happens, okay?”
“I understand. I also absolutely don’t want to lose Danna-sama.”
Afterward, Sitri and I discussed the possible scenarios that could occur in Evil God’s place, and we also planned our strategies in case of emergency.
—***—
“Halt. I’m the last one.”
Ryuka came, being the last person on the rotation schedule.
“You already heard from everyone by this time, right?”
“Yes. About your plan to go to Evil God… And, that, uhm, er… Halt could be more of a brute than a beast in heat.”
Waittt!!!!
Wait, Waitttt!!!!
Who the heck said that nonsense!?
That second line is entirely groundless!!
…Ack, no.
It’s not completely false, though.
“Please be as gentle as possible.”
Oh, yeah…
I was already a brute in Ryuka’s eyes.
Alright, I got it!
I would definitely show her that I’m not that kind of guy!!
I already did 14 people.
It’s fine now.
I was already calm enough, and I could behave myself like a gentleman would.
— That’s what I thought.
“I’m a dragonoid, so my body is sturdy. I believe I’ll be fine even if you tossed me around a little roughly…”
She said that with upturned eyes, so there’s no way I could hold myself back.
