Chapter : 15

Waking up in the morning, Sera was sprawled on top of me as always, with Night, the black Fenrir who could probably devour the world, snoozing beside us like an oversized puppy.

Rudra: "Wake up, honey, it's morning!"

Sera (replying sleepily): "Five more minutes..."

As always, she's not a morning person. I slipped out of the futon and headed to the bathroom. After freshening up, I embarked on my morning run around town, coming back to greetings from some Gramps and granny along the way. I reciprocated with nods and smiles.

Returning home, I washed up and started preparing a healthy breakfast. Just as the aroma of breakfast filled the house, both Sera and Night wandered into the dining room.

Sera, standing at the door in an oversized T-shirt, rubbing her sleepy eyes, said, "Darling, good morning!"

Night, rubbing his snout, let out a lazy "Woof."

Rudra (smiling): "Go, brush your teeth, and wash your face, and also help Night a little."

I said, and she left, carrying Night in her arms. She returned after ten minutes, and we had breakfast in peace.

After breakfast, we were in the hall. Sera was watching TV, and Night was lazily lying on his back, exposing his stomach and swinging his tail. I found myself serving as Sera's makeshift chair, her arms wrapped around my neck. She was clad in just her panties and an oversized T-shirt, showing off her tantalizingly long legs.

Her hair was braided to my liking. Lost in my thoughts, I was startled when Sera pecked my lips and said, "Now that you don't need to train or anything, how about starting to make an effort to build a harem?"

Honestly, I had already abandoned the thought of building a harem back in the training dimension. But after Sera pursued me, I melted like ice and went along with her, even reviving old memories that caused my inner demon to wake up.

Now, even without her telling me, I was just thinking about it. I know I suck at flirting, but at least I have looks that can make women's hearts go Doki~Doki~, which already solves fifty percent of the problem, in some cases even ninety percent. But my main concern right now is that this is not a single world.

It's a cluster of different fictional worlds in a single point, the current Earth I am staying on. Till now, I have only confirmed two fictions: DxD and Door world. Honestly, that franchise name is so long that I just made it short as Door world because of the dimensions traveling door.

Rudra (smiling wryly): "I was just thinking that, but I guess I'll find out when the time comes. And it's already been two weeks, and this is the last week. Say, do you want to go to school, Sera?"

I asked her because we never discussed anything about that. Honestly, going to school is a pain in the ass, but all the heroines are in school, so I can't do anything about it.

Sera (pondering): "Hmmm... Let's see... NO!"

Rudra, taken aback by her loud voice, retorted, "Why the hell did you scream near my ear? And you're also coming. It's decided. I don't want to be the only one having my ass handed to me by those freaking boring lessons!"

I said adamantly. After all, she was the one who dragged me into this mess, so she had the obligation to walk the same path as me, right?

Sera, making a grumpy face, replied, "Muri... No means no. I won't go there."

I sighed. I had certainly lost the battle, but the war would be mine. I smirked as an idea formed in my head, but I didn't show it on my face. I would take my revenge later.

Sliding her hands on my chest, Sera asked, "So, have you made any sort of plan to conquer the heroines, hun?"

I nodded, lifting her chin.

Rudra: "Although I have made a plan, it's such a simple thing that it can't even be called a plan. I'm just going to naturally let their emotions develop, and I'll take a proactive approach so that I can also gain a little bit of time to get to know them for who they really are in the real world, not just depending on the anime."

Sera: "The plan might be the dumbest plan, but it makes a lot of difference when the one executing the plan is a man who is more handsome, manly, and stronger than any god out there. Who wouldn't fall for my goddess killer husband? Hehe."

Sera smiled mischievously, her tantalizing smile making her lips look even more tempting. Unable to resist, I devoured her lips hungrily, not letting her continue for another minute. I sucked her lips as if they were the sweetest lollipop.

The kiss deepened as our tounges intertwined, savouring the taste of each other. It was a moment of pure intimacy, a dance of passion and connection as our bodies pressed closer together. Time seemed to stand still as we lost ourselves in the sensation, every touch ourselves in the sensation, every touch sending shivers down our spines.

After separating, we chuckled at the thin bridge of saliva connecting us, a reminder of our shared moment of intimacy.

After a while, Sera cast a restriction spell on me, dampening my powers to a more manageable level. Even a simple gesture from me could once move mountains, but now I was more akin to a powerful, yet mortal being. Categorized by DxD power levels, I might be considered around Maou class, although I couldn't be certain without encountering one personally.

Sera sensed a disturbance in the forest barrier and suggested we investigate. With Sera still in my arms and Night by my side, we closed the TV and headed to the other side.

I wore the armor I got from some monster, which is in the shape of a Dragonic Leviathan, a fusion of dragon and Leviathan qualities, giving me the appearance of a formidable warrior. Clad in my light blue armor with neon blue accents, I was immune to physical and magical damage, a moving fortress ready for battle.

Sera insisted on staying behind while I investigated, and I agreed. Summoning my wings through a magic spell, I took off towards the forest, their reptilian-like skin covered in scales, emitting a slight neon blue aura.

••••••

"Hah… Hah...!"

A girl was running desperately through the forest. However, the pale white dress that the girl is wearing, which can be seen as fine quality by anyone, isn't suitable for running. Not only that, but the beautiful blonde hair that looks to be extracted from the sunlight has become dirty while running, and now has lost its radiance.

Several people who hid their faces behind a hood were chasing behind such a girl.

"Kuh…"

The girl was running barefoot in the forest with a bad footing.

"Ah!?"

However, she stumbled over a tree's root because of the dress that is unsuitable for running and the forest environment. The mysterious group couldn't miss that chance and immediately surrounded the girl. The girl realizes that there is no longer to escape, but she sharpened her jade eyes and glares at the group.

"You people! Do you know with whom you're chasing, I am the first princess of Alceria Kingdom!?"

The mysterious group exchanged glances at the girl's bullish attitude while sneering.

"Hahahaha! We know that, Lexia Von Alceria."

"Then why…" (Lexia)

"Why, you said? Saying such a ridiculous thing. As for what reason you're getting attacked… Should I make you remember with your body?"(Thugs)

"T-that's…"(Lexia)

The girl ─ Lexia became lost for words at what the assailant said.

"You're a hindrance, you know. You filthy mixed blood!"(Thugs)

"My blood is not dirty…"(Lexia)

"Don't talk back!"(Thugs)

"Kyaaa!"(Lexia)

One of the mysterious people magically created a mass of soil and shot it at her, who was resolutely appealing. Lexia instantly rolled over the ground, but his magic power was apparently high, and the impact caused more damage than expected.

"U-uhh…"

"Quit stalling for time. It'll be better if you just obediently die from the beginning…"(Thugs)

"Your escort is pitiful, too, right? As a result of escorting you, they're getting attacked by us."(Thugs)

"They were desperate to let you escape, but aren't those Knights dead by now?"(Thugs)

The mysterious group threw unpleasant words at Lexia, who was crouching in pain. Lexia was the first princess, but she was a child born between the present King and a concubine ─ a slave. More to say, her mother was not a "Human". She was a "High-Elf" which has even better appearance among the excellent appearance of an "Elf". The King fell in love at the first sight with such a High-Elf slave and loved her as a concubine, and before long, Lexia was born.

However, soon after giving birth to Lexia, her mother died. The king was very sad and raised Lexia with a worthy of care. But one day, an incident occurred. High-Elf who originally possessed high magic and Lexia even as a Half-Human inherited their excellent appearance and magic, and one day her magical power went out of control. As a result, the first prince who was nearby was seriously injured.

Fortunately, there were no after-effects left, and he had been healed completely, but… Lexia was alienated by the queen, the mother of the first prince, and the nobles which on the first prince faction. Due to her origin of birth, she has been subjected to various types of harassment behind the King's back.

"U… Uhh…".

She's grateful to her mother for giving birth to her, and she doesn't have a grudge against her father. However, the surroundings attack such a Lexia mercilessly. Even if she's from the royal family, it will become misfortune depending on the circumstances. Lexia had been desperately living before such an unavoidable reality, but now she is about to be killed like this, she looks back on her life and tears fall involuntarily.

If she had lived a more normal life… Yes, she had thought about it.

"Now, it will be silly to have an idle-talk and be attacked by monsters. Go die quickly."(Thugs)

Lexia could only sob, muffling her voice in this very miserable and helpless situation. One of the men of the mysterious group tried to shoot his magic mercilessly toward Lexia ─ it was at that moment.

"Guooooooooooo!"

"What!? Goblin General!?"(Thugs)

Suddenly, a monster attacked the mysterious group. With dark brown skin and golden eyes like those of reptiles. Bulging muscles, with a height as tall as an adult man, and wore a fine-quality armor on its body which gave off a very intimidating aura.

Gushing nasal breath from its big aquiline nose, and then released a strong swing from its giant sword that was as tall as itself. The blow was tremendous, and the mysterious group that tried to unleash their magic at the Goblin General turned into a mass of meat in front of its giant sword.

The mysterious group cried miserably.

Those who were about to kill Lexia were killed in an instant. Lexia's expression was tinged with fear by that fact, and she tried to run away in a hurry, but she doesn't have the strength to move her legs. While she was unable to move, the Goblin General had already annihilated the mysterious group with its overwhelming power. A large amount of blood and pieces of flesh were scattered all over the area, and the goblin general was covered in blood.

─ It was an absolute being that cannot be denied.

Before that, Lexia's body has given up the will to live despite her intentions. No matter how much she tried to escape, her body won't listen at all.

After it finished the slaughtering of those mysterious group, the Goblin General turned its eyes to Lexia, who was tinged with fear and despair. She was shot by a sharp glance, and finally, even her will to live was lost.

"Ah…"

The Goblin General calmly approached the stunned Lexia. And when it arrived in front of Lexia, it lifted up its giant sword.

The Goblin General roared.

She will die here without any suffering. With murky thoughts of death, she watched the sword that slaughtered the mysterious group.

"Daaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

"Gugyaa!?"

Suddenly, something flew toward the Goblin General. However, the Goblin General sensed it just before the flying object collided, and prevented it with the giant sword which had been swung up before. But it wasn't the only attack. Further impacts striking the giant sword which had prevented the flying object. The impact is tremendous, and even the goblin general who possessed a strong body can't endure it and is greatly blown away. The Goblin General turned its gaze which was been filled with anger to the new intruder as it regained its posture.

The Goblin General cried furiously.

And when Lexia turned her gaze in the same direction as the Goblin General ─.

"Are you alright?"

She suddenly caught sight of an elegant young man standing amidst the dense forest, exuding an aura of confidence that seemed out of place in such treacherous surroundings. He has glossy black hair , and his black eyes sparkled with an otherworldly charm, reminiscent of the vast expanse of the night sky.

Despite the direness of her situation, Lexia couldn't help but feel a strange sense of reassurance wash over her at the sight of the mysterious stranger. His presence seemed to dispel the overwhelming fear and tension that had gripped her moments before.

As if drawn to him by some invisible force, Lexia's eyes faltered, her body swaying dizzily. With a soft gasp, she collapsed to the forest floor, her consciousness slipping away as darkness engulfed her senses. In that moment of vulnerability, she placed her trust in the enigmatic young man, hoping that he would be her salvation in this perilous forest.
