Chapter 585 - 585
"Too bad I can't even get past the first level of the castle. Otherwise, I'd have already sworn brotherhood with the Demon King boss and be dominating all sorts of anime worlds by now!"Just thinking about it filled him with bitter regret!
That scaled-down Demon King's Castle outside the city served as the first challenge against the Demon King, requiring him to face hordes of Demon Lord Army soldiers. Only by clearing this first hurdle could one enter the castle proper.
But his strength was pathetically weak, his level still hovering in single digits. He couldn't even defeat ordinary Demon Lord Army soldiers, let alone clear the first challenge!
When he learned that anime worlds truly existed, no one could imagine how exhilarated he'd been!
Over these past days, he'd already made plans—first, he'd ask the boss to take him to worlds like Campione! to obtain heaven-defying powers like Authorities. Then he could leisurely explore while seeking chances to meet beautiful 2D girls!
But the damnable thing was he still couldn't meet the Demon King boss even now, leaving him so anxious he couldn't sleep at night!
"Huh? Isn't that Dust? What are you sneaking around for here?"
Turning a street corner, Kazuma Satou suddenly spotted a familiar face.
It was a blond delinquent who looked decent on the surface, currently lurking suspiciously outside a café, peering inside.
"Oh, it's just Kazuma. You scared me!"
Dust relaxed upon seeing it was Kazuma, then crept over mysteriously.
"Let me tell you a secret—this shop looks like a café, but all the waitresses inside are actually succubi!"
"What?!"
Kazuma Satou was shocked.
"Don't tell me this is one of those shops where you can do lewd stuff?!"
"Nah, the succubi here don't offer physical services. But they do provide dream services!"
Dust grinned with a smile all men would understand.
"Seeing is believing. Come on, let's check it out together!"
"So this is your first time too?"
"Don't expose me."
Alone, one might be too nervous, but with company, courage swelled instantly.
Arm in arm, the two entered the succubus shop.
"Whoa!"
Upon entering, they both gasped in awe.
The interior was bathed in pink lighting, with bikini-clad succubi everywhere. Most patrons wore masks, looking furtive.
"It really is a succubus shop!"
They were beyond excited.
"First time here, gentlemen? Please have a seat."
A mature succubus who seemed to be the madam approached with a smile. Her black lingerie barely covered the essentials, her voluptuous figure leaving the duo breathless.
"Here are the dream design forms. Please fill them out."
The madam handed them two sheets.
They eagerly scanned the contents.
"Incredible! Not just the dream partner, but even the setting, dialogue, and positions can be customized?!"
"I want a petite loli!"
"I want a sexy older sister!"
With bestial roars, they scribbled furiously.
And then—
Something no one expected happened.
"So this is Axel's succubus shop, eh?"
A sudden, intense pressure descended upon everyone in the establishment.
At the same time, a tall figure strode in from outside.
Clad entirely in silver-white armor, with a blue skirt fluttering with each step, and a sleek black mask covering the face—the figure exuded an extraordinary presence.
"D-Demon King?!"
An adventurer suddenly shrieked.
Kazuma Satou covered his ears—the scream had come from Dust, who was right beside him.
Under the overwhelming pressure, every customer in the shop was pinned down, unable to lift their heads. Not a single person dared to meet the figure's gaze, and even the working succubi trembled in fear.
Only Kazuma Satou looked excited.
"Um... may I ask what brings you here, honored guest?"
The proprietress gritted her teeth and forced herself to step forward.
"You're the proprietress here?"
The Demon King's gaze made her feel as though she were sitting on pins and needles.
"That's right."
Then, as if satisfied, he nodded slightly.
"I came here because I heard Axel also has a succubus shop. I want to relocate it to the Demon King's Castle!"
"What?"
"That's unacceptable!"
"This shop is a treasure to all of us! Do you know why I stayed here even after reaching level thirty?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the shop erupted in uproar.
It was as if his words had struck a nerve with everyone.
"I wasn't talking to you."
The Demon King's cold voice cut through the air.
The pressure around him intensified severalfold, instantly silencing all the clamor in the shop. Everyone fell deathly quiet.
"To be chosen by Your Majesty is an honor."
Seeing this, the proprietress could only force a bitter smile, lowering her eyes and adopting an extremely submissive posture.
"But we succubi are fragile creatures, nothing like the mighty soldiers of the Demon Lord Army. If we were to suffer unjust treatment..."
Succubi were weak, yet all too popular.
It was not uncommon for powerful nobles to keep succubi as pets. The proprietress's greatest fear was that joining the Demon Lord Army would turn them into mere tools for the soldiers' pleasure, stripping them of all freedom.
"Rest assured. There's already a succubus shop in the Demon King's Castle, just like yours—only dealing in dream services. No one dares to force them into prostitution. Under my rule, no one in the Demon King's Castle would dare oppress a succubus. If they did, I'd personally kill them."
The Demon King sneered.
As if he'd let anyone bully those who'd slept with him—that'd make him look utterly incompetent!
What?
Why did they sleep with him and not others?
Say that again while looking at this face of mine!
"Such a thing exists?"
The proprietress gasped in surprise.
She seemed tempted but also hesitant.
As demons themselves, running a business in the human world was fraught with constant fear. If they could gain the Demon King's protection, it would be a godsend.
"Regarding this matter... I would like to consult with Lord Barnier."
"Barnier? I see. I was wondering who could have granted you the protection to operate in the human world—so it was him! No problem, he and I go way back. He'll definitely agree."
The Demon King waved his hand dismissively, as if telling them to go ahead and ask.
The proprietress hesitated for a moment before quickly sending someone to fetch Barnier from the item shop.
"The rest of you, prepare to relocate. I'll send someone to teleport you over later."
Hearing this, the proprietress dared not disobey and could only instruct the staff to pack their belongings.
"Boss, please take me as your underling!"
Eiji sat in the shop for a while, admiring the various charms of the succubus ladies.
They were even more diverse than the succubi in the Demon King's Castle—there were even loli succubi here, something the Demon King's Castle lacked. Unfortunately, they weren't his type.
Seeing that he paid them no attention, the adventurers timidly left the shop one by one.
Only one young man stepped forward boldly, dropping to his knees in a deep bow before Eiji.
