The Great Demon Lord of the American Comics World

Chapters 156, 205 and 206: Kowtowing to the strong, isn't that the Japanese tradition?

evening.

Having finished today's "shopping spree," Li Xingzhou leisurely flapped his Wind and Thunder Wings and flew towards Kusanagi City.

I had a good harvest today.

Not only did they acquire two treasures, but they also rescued many girls, captured some laborers, and plundered countless supplies.

It's fortunate that he has a mustard seed space with an enormous capacity.

Otherwise, with so many gains, including girls and laborers, it would be impossible to bring them all back in one trip.

When Li Xingzhou passed by the haunted house from yesterday, he went down to take a look and found that the haunted house, which was originally full of eerie atmosphere, had disappeared. Only a small flag was left stuck in the weeds on the original site.

"Not bad, very conscientious!"

Li Xingzhou scanned the Secret Demon Banner with his divine sense and nodded in satisfaction.

That's right, the mother and son evil spirits, along with the haunted house, have moved into the more comfortable environment of the Demon Banner and are now getting along well with the demons within.

In a physical sense, "becoming one with one"

The secret demons kept in the banner use this method to determine their respective ranks.

Those who are stronger and rank higher can occupy a larger territory and enjoy more negative elements, negative emotions, and food.

With the strength of that mother and son evil spirits, securing a place in the Secret Demon Banner is certainly not a problem. As for how high they can rank, that depends on their efforts.

Retracting the Demon Banner, Li Xingzhou flapped his wings and soared into the sky, continuing his flight towards Kusanagi Castle.

……

"Well……"

Takashi Komuro groaned, rubbing his throbbing forehead as he sat up. His mind was a blur, and it took him a long time to recall what he had just experienced.

"Someone attacked our home, destroyed the house, and knocked me unconscious! Oh no, Ms. Shizuka and the others are still inside!"

Komuro Takashi jolted awake, jerked abruptly, and then fell headfirst off the bed with a thud.

It wasn't until he stood up, clutching his throbbing forehead, that Komuro Takashi realized he was in a strange, rectangular room.

There were four wire beds in the room, two on each side. On the wire bed opposite Komuro Takashi lay the chubby Hirano Toda, and on the bed diagonally opposite him lay a boy in a red high school uniform. On the bed on the same side as him lay a young man in a tracksuit.

The room's ceiling is about 2.5 meters high, its width is only about 2.4 meters, and its length is about 9 meters.

There were no windows on the wall covered with a layer of sound insulation cotton. On the other side, at the "door" with ventilation holes, there were simple furniture such as a square table, plastic stools, and a metal cabinet.

"What is this place?"

Komuro Takashi had a vague feeling that this seemed to be a house converted from a shipping container. Just as he was about to go to the door to check, several groans were heard, and the three people in the room woke up.

"where is this place?"

The boy in the red Western-style high school uniform sat up, covering his forehead, and asked the same question as Takashi Komuro.

Hirano Toda rubbed his forehead, looked around, and said with certainty:
"This is a converted shipping container. That flying guy brought us here!"

"Oh, were you also captured?"

The young man in the tracksuit said:

"Was the man who arrested you a tall, foreign man wearing a black trench coat? Even though he's a foreigner, his eyes and hair are black?"

“We passed out before we could even see what he looked like.” Komuro Takashi and Hirano Toda exchanged a glance, shook their heads, and then said, “But I did see that he seemed to have a pair of metal wings.”

"Yes, he has a pair of metal wings."

The high school boy in the red uniform spread his hands, looking helpless, and said:

"He descended from the sky and easily killed the horde of zombies surrounding me and my companions. I thought I had encountered an angel, but then he slapped me unconscious. When I woke up, I was already here."

"Speaking of which, my experience is the same."

The young man in sportswear smiled wryly:

"My companions and I were in a critical situation when the horde of zombies was closing in. That man suddenly appeared, easily killed all the zombies, and before we could even thank him, he simply and neatly knocked us unconscious..."

"So, you all have companions too?" Komuro asked gravely. "We do. The question now is, where were they taken?"

The high school student in the red uniform said, "Maybe it's just that boys and girls are being held separately?"

“This is the end of the world, a world where order has collapsed. Don’t underestimate human malice.” Takashi Komuro clenched his fist. “My companions are all beautiful girls. In this kind of world, any villain with even a little power…”

The young man in the sportswear scratched his head. "My companions are all girls too."

The high school student in the red uniform looked worried. "Mine too."

“Then, for the sake of our respective companions, we must unite,” said Takashi Komuro. “My name is Takashi Komuro, and I was originally a student at Fujimi Private Academy.”

The chubby boy said, "I am Hirano Toda, and I am Takashi's classmate."

The high school student in the red uniform said, "My name is Ryota Suzui, and I am a second-year student at Hyakkaou Private Academy."

The young man in sportswear said, "I am Jie Xiongmingzao, a fitness coach."

After getting to know each other, Takashi Komuro suggested:

"We need to find a way to arm ourselves; let's see if we have any weapons."

“There’s no way he has weapons.” Ryota Suzui shook his head pessimistically. “Even if he did, we wouldn’t be a match for that man.”

Masahiro Naruto also said:
"Yes, the man who captured us and brought us here is a superhuman being who can easily wipe out hundreds of zombies single-handedly. It would be unwise to confront him with force."

Komuro Takashi knew they were telling the truth, and rubbed his face in frustration, saying unwillingly:
"So, are we just supposed to do nothing, resign ourselves to fate, and watch him humiliate our companions?"

Jie Xiongming comforted him, saying:

"Their purpose in arresting us is unknown. Perhaps it's not what you guessed. Maybe, as Suzui-san said, it's just that men and women are being held separately? Let's go out and investigate to find out the truth."

Although Komuro was anxious, he had no better solution, so he could only nod reluctantly. Then the four of them walked towards the door.

Upon reaching the door, Jie Xiongming took the doorknob first and smiled:

"I'm an adult and a fitness instructor with decent strength, so I'll take the lead."

After saying that, he took a deep breath, slowly turned the doorknob, and then suddenly pushed the door open.

He had originally imagined that the outside would be heavily guarded, with many armed men patrolling around.

But the reality was that the surroundings were quiet and deserted, with only the last rays of the setting sun quietly reflecting on a row of converted shipping containers.

“This…” Jie Xiongming was stunned for a moment.

"What's the situation outside?" Komuro asked from behind.

Jie Xiongming, tall and broad-shouldered, stood in the narrow doorway, completely blocking the view of the three people behind him.

"See for yourselves."

Jie Xiongming sighed, took a step forward, and made way for the doorway.

The three of them, including Komuro Takashi, filed out and remained silent and stunned for a while after taking in their surroundings.

They were on the edge of a cliff tens of meters high, overlooking the sea.

Ten converted shipping containers are lined up along the cliff edge, with the rear of the containers facing the precipice and the openings facing the flat ground inside.

To the left is a lush forest with several paths leading deeper into it. To the right is an open area, but its edge is also a winding cliff.

Directly opposite, about 200 meters away, is a castle in the style of a classical castle tower, with the main tower in the center being more than 30 meters high, and two smaller castle towers guarding the sides.

There were no guards on the outer city walls.

However, after Komuro Takashi and the others stared at the castle tower for a while, a chill ran down their spines, as if some kind of deadly danger was hidden inside that would instinctively terrify even the most obtuse humans.

"Could the person who captured us and brought us here be the owner of that castle tower?" Hirano Toda's voice trembled slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. "This feels very bad!"

Komuro Takayoshi remained calm and said, "First, check the other containers to see if Rei and Shizuka-sensei are there."

The four men knocked on the container doors one by one, but the remaining nine container rooms were all occupied by men.

They were either young and strong adult men, or boys in junior or senior high school, and a few male college students. Out of more than thirty people, there wasn't a single girl.

Furthermore, several of those people's female companions were also missing.

"So, girls..."

Looking at the castle tower that instilled an instinctive sense of dread, Takashi Komuro felt a sense of foreboding rising within him.

……

In the East Castle, on one side of the Great Castle, there is a spacious communal bedroom.

Rei Miyamoto woke up, rubbing her forehead as she sat up. She saw a bunch of girls lying haphazardly on the tatami mat.

Among them were her companions and girls she didn't know.

"Shizuka-sensei, Saeko-senpai, Takashiro-kun... wake up!"

Miyamoto Rei crawled to her companions on all fours and woke them up one by one.

Shizuka Marikawa, Saeko Busujima, and Saya Takagi woke up one after another, and after seeing their surroundings, they couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

"Where is this?" asked Shizuka Marikawa, the somewhat ditzy school doctor, in a daze.

"This is bad!" Takashiro Saya, the bespectacled, twin-tailed, academically gifted girl, pinched her brow, muttering as she recalled what happened before she lost consciousness, "It seems we've been kidnapped..."

"Yes. We were kidnapped by an inhumanly powerful man." Saeko Busujima, tall and slender with long, straight, glossy black hair, spoke calmly. "Besides us, he also kidnapped quite a few girls we didn't know."

She looked at the unfamiliar girls on the tatami mat and said calmly:

"They are all cute girls with good figures and beautiful faces. The purpose of that powerful person is self-evident. The only thing that is not certain now is whether the other party intends to treat us as sex toys that can be destroyed at will, or whether they regard us as human beings at all."

Rei Miyamoto's eyes widened in surprise, and she exclaimed:
"Saeko-senpai, don't scare us, how could such a thing happen?"

Saya Takagi adjusted her glasses and, forcing herself to remain calm, said:

"Saeko-senpai's reasoning makes perfect sense. In this apocalyptic world where order has collapsed, the powerful who wield power can do whatever they want if they so choose. Besides, there are only pretty girls here, and Komuro-kun and Hirano-kun aren't here..."

Miyamoto Rei said, "Maybe the men and women will be detained separately!"

“They might have been killed.” Takagi Saya’s eyes dimmed and her voice trembled slightly, but she still calmly analyzed, “However, in this kind of world, men are still useful, at least they can be used as laborers. The person who kidnapped us couldn’t possibly do the work himself, right? So, Komuro-kun and Hirano-kun should still be alive.”

"The little girl is right."

A languid female voice rang out.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a beautiful woman with long, flowing hair, wearing a blazer, a pencil skirt, and black stockings. She had a hot and sexy figure and a mature and intellectual demeanor. She sat up leisurely.

She bent her legs, sat against the wall, elbows on her knees, and rubbed her temples as she said:

"We're all passengers on the same boat now, so why don't you introduce yourselves? My name is Soryuin Shion, and I'm the chairperson of the board of directors of the Imperial Sakura Girls' Academy... well, the former chairperson, since the academy no longer exists."

"Ah, it's actually the Chairperson of the Board of Directors of the prestigious Imperial Sakura High School? Hello, Ms. Souyuuin, I'm Shizuka Marikawa. Nice to meet you." Ms. Shizuka quickly stood up and bowed to greet her.

Although it's already the end of the world, this naturally naive teacher's deeply ingrained sense of hierarchy, cultivated over more than twenty years, is clearly not something that can be erased in just a few days.

Even Saya Takagi, Rei Miyamoto, and Saeko Busujima showed great respect, introducing themselves and exchanging greetings.

Given the distinct class system that has persisted in Japan to this day, for someone of Soryuin Shion's age to be able to serve as the chairperson of a top-tier school like the Imperial Sakura Girls' Academy, she must be a young lady from a very prestigious family.

"Alright, no need to be so polite."

Soryuin Shion waved her hand dismissively and said in a light tone:

"In the face of zombies, everyone is equal. The old rules were completely destroyed when the zombie apocalypse broke out. We, the survivors, will all face the future equally from now on."

At this point, she glanced at Rei Miyamoto and the others, a slight smile playing on her lips, and said with a hint of self-deprecation:

“If the owner of this place intends to treat us like toys that won’t be a loss even if we break them, you young and beautiful girls might be more cherished than me. After all, I’m almost a thirty-year-old woman.”

Ms. Shizuka said, "But Miss Soryuin is very beautiful, with a great figure and an elegant and noble demeanor..."

Soryuin Shion habitually reached for her cigarettes, but found nothing. She could only sigh and say:

"Although my current physique is still acceptable, how can it compare to the shelf life of a high school beauty? A devoted man will only ever like young and pretty girls..."

Rei Miyamoto frowned and said, "Miss Soryuin..."

"Call me Ziyin."

“Senior Shion,” Miyamoto Rei said earnestly, “why are you so certain that the person who captured us is trying to use us as…”

Soryuin Shion gave Miyamoto Rei a strange look, thinking that this pretty girl with a decent figure was a bit too naive. She was already a high school student, and might have even been in love or tasted the forbidden fruit, yet she was still so innocent...

Is it because you still harbor wishful thinking?
Well, in the apocalypse, every survivor should actually hold onto a sliver of hope, otherwise wouldn't it be too depressing and hopeless? She shook her head and said lazily:
"I can't be absolutely sure, but I think this guess is very likely. Anyway..."

She glanced at her still-sleeping sister and her friends, and smiled:
"I wouldn't mind serving that man. After all, if he hadn't appeared in time, I might be reduced to a skeleton by zombies by now, and my sister might not have survived either... It's not unreasonable to repay a life-saving debt with my body. Besides, that man is quite handsome and manly, isn't he?"

“Uh…” Miyamoto Rei blinked and muttered, “I didn’t see his face clearly, I just saw that he seemed to have wings.”

“I saw it clearly.” Saya Takagi pushed up her glasses. “He descended from the sky and barged into our house, even smiling at us. I have to admit, he was indeed a very handsome and masculine man, and his smile was very charming. He was just too domineering; he took us all away without saying a word. Of course, it’s understandable for a powerful man to be a bit domineering.”

Rei Miyamoto stared wide-eyed incredulously. "So, Takashiro, are you going to accept your fate? Even if he's going to imprison us and toy with us, are you going to accept it?"

"Otherwise what?" Takagi Saya said calmly, "That's an irresistible man, like a god. If you don't want to die, you can only obediently submit. Isn't it a tradition since ancient times for Japanese people, regardless of gender, to obey the strong? That's still a polite way of putting it. If we're not being polite, we should describe it as 'groveling'."

"..."

Miyamoto Rei was speechless, dumbfounded.

Meanwhile, Saeko Busujima, Shion Sora, Shizuka Marikawa, and another beautiful girl with long, straight black hair who had woken up at some unknown time, wearing a red Western-style uniform top, a gray-black plaid skirt, and black stockings, with strange red eyes, all nodded slightly, seemingly agreeing with Saya Takagi's statement.

"So, who are you?" Soryuin Shion looked at the beautiful girl with red eyes and long black hair. "Judging from your uniform, you should be a student at Hyakkaou Private Academy, right?"

“Yes, Ms. Souyuuin, I am Yumeko Jabami, a second-year student at Hyakkaou Private Academy.”

The red-eyed girl knelt down, bowed slightly to everyone, and spoke politely, looking like a well-educated and refined young lady.

Soryuin Shion asked, "Was your entire academy wiped out? Are you the only one left?"

“There are two other companions,” Yumeko Jabami replied. “One of the male students should have been imprisoned elsewhere, just like your male companions. The other female student isn’t here; perhaps she’s in another room?”

"So, that despicable man kidnapped more than just us women?" Miyamoto Rei complained angrily. "What kind of demonic dragon's behavior is this?!"

Saya Takagi adjusted her glasses and calmly said:

"It is indeed the work of the Demon King. However, I'm afraid no hero will come to defeat the Demon King and save us."

Then she looked at Miyamoto Rei and said, "Of course, you can also try to defeat the Demon King yourself."

"How do we defeat it?" Miyamoto Rei said, biting her lip. "It's a monster that can fly and launch attacks from a distance like it has superpowers."

Zou-ryuin Shion said:
"He can also easily crush the load-bearing walls of buildings. With some kind of unseen mental attack, he can crush a powerful fighter zombie into mincemeat, and launch small steel balls with the power of rifle bullets, easily blowing the heads off any zombie in his field of vision."

Jabami Yumeko said softly:

"He can also control lightning. When he saved us, he used lightning to wipe out all the zombies around us at once, turning hundreds of zombies into charred remains in one go."

"It seems that man is more terrifying than I imagined," Takagi Saya said calmly. "There is no chance of winning in a direct confrontation; the only way is to use surprise tactics."

She looked at Rei Miyamoto and said earnestly:

"I suggest you try biting him to death when he's having sex with you."

"Bite him to death?" Miyamoto Rei was stunned. "How?"

Saya Takagi asked curiously, "You have dating experience, do you really need me, someone with no experience, to teach you how to bite?"

"..." Miyamoto Rei finally understood, her eyes twitching, her face full of black lines. "Takagi Saya, this is not the time for jokes!"

“I’m not joking,” Takagi Saya said seriously. “Besides poisoning, this might be the only way to defeat that man. After all, even ghosts and gods would lower their guard when doing that kind of thing, right? And here, we can’t easily get our hands on a potent poison. So…”

Miyamoto Rei said unhappily, "Why don't you try it yourself?"

“I don’t want to die,” Takagi Saya said frankly. “I’m only sixteen, and I haven’t lived enough. I’m not willing to take the risk of dying if I fail in my resistance. But you don’t seem to want to accept your fate, so that’s why I gave you this idea.”

Rei Miyamoto's mind suddenly sharpened. She crossed her arms and snorted coldly:
"Takagi Saya, you're just trying to reap the benefits without lifting a finger, aren't you? You're encouraging me to take risks. If I succeed, you won't have to take any risks and you can still enjoy the spoils. But if I fail, I'll be the one who dies."

“Your failure also allows us to eliminate an unworkable option,” Takagi Saya said calmly. “Unfortunately, you saw through it. I didn’t expect you to have a brain sometimes, Miyamoto-kun.”

"..." Miyamoto Rei's lips twitched twice. "You despicable guy, I'm not really an idiot!"

While the two were bickering, the remaining girls who were with Soryuin Shion also woke up one after another, and then another round of introductions and exchanges began.

As they were discussing, the sliding door to the bedroom suddenly opened, and a petite woman with freckles on her cheeks appeared in front of the door, dressed in a kimono.

"Everyone, come out and assemble," the woman in the kimono said coldly.

"Who are you?" Miyamoto Rei asked, staring at the woman. Seeing that she had no weapons, she couldn't help but feel a little tempted.

Not only Miyamoto Rei, but several other girls who knew how to fight and were quite strong also looked eager to try, seemingly wanting to capture the woman in the kimono as a hostage.

The woman in the kimono sensed the girls' intentions and gave a cold laugh. "Who am I? Ha, I'm not human." As she spoke, her head suddenly flew off her neck, but her body remained firmly in place.

The head, now airborne, had hair that grew rapidly, flailing wildly like seaweed. Its eyes had become empty and deathly white, staring menacingly at the crowd, and it spoke in a chilling, piercing voice:
"My name is Ishii Oren, and I am the lord's secret assassin. I am now in charge of disciplining you. You may try to attack me, but you will have to bear the consequences yourselves..."

attack?

Just kidding, who would dare attack a monster like that?

Looking at the headless body and then at the bizarre head with black hair dancing wildly in the air, both Miyamoto Rei and the other girls who had considered kidnapping the woman in the kimono were now terrified and their faces turned deathly pale.

Even Takagi Saya, who had maintained her composure throughout, couldn't stop her legs from trembling, and her lower abdomen was throbbing with pain, almost causing her to urinate in fear.

Only Shion Kanade was able to maintain her composure. She looked at the severed head, swallowed hard, and asked in a slightly hoarse voice:

"Excuse me for being so bold, but where have our other male companions gone?"

Ishii Oren coldly replied, "In ancient Japan, were men allowed to enter the Shogun's inner palace?"

The Great Secret Realm of Ancient Generals?
That was indeed a place where no man other than the general himself was allowed to set foot. The servants working there were all beautiful women.

So, this really is the Demon King's harem?
And were the other male companions indeed imprisoned elsewhere?

After confirming their earlier guesses, many girls actually felt relieved.

Sōryūin Shion also breathed a sigh of relief and asked:
"So, what kind of treatment will we receive?"

"You will first learn the rules," Ishii Oren said coldly. "In your spare time, do some work within your capabilities. If you have any talents, you can speak up. If your talents are noticed by the lord, you may be able to live a better life."

"Um, does being strong count as a talent?" A spirited girl with healthy tan skin, a broad chest, a slender waist, full hips, and long pigtails raised her hand and asked.

"Strong? How strong can you be?" Ishii Oren looked coldly at the seemingly reckless girl.

"I'm not bragging, but I'm so strong that even I'm scared of myself." The girl with pigtails chuckled. "I can smash a strength testing machine with a full-force punch. A shuriken thrown with all my might can slice a human-shaped target in half."

"..." A strange look appeared on Ishii Oren's face. "For an ordinary person, this kind of superhuman strength can be considered an extraordinary talent. If your strength is really as strong as you say, you will naturally have a place to use it in the future."

After saying that, he said to everyone, "Come out and gather first."

Then, without her head returning to its place, she floated out of the room through the air. The headless body below also walked out with steady, small steps.

The girls exchanged glances for a moment, then Zou-ryu-in Shion said calmly:

"Even the maids are monsters... This place might really be the Demon King's lair. We can't escape this disaster, let's go out and see."

With that, he stepped out of the room first.

With her taking the lead, the girls didn't hesitate any longer and followed her out with trepidation.

When they arrived at a lobby, several girls were already waiting there, including Yumeko Jabami's companion.

"Yumeko!" Upon seeing Yumeko Jabami, the girl, who was also wearing the Hyakkaou Academy girls' uniform, quickly waved and greeted her.

“Yari!” Yumeko Jabami also revealed a pleased smile.

Saya Takagi didn't pay much attention to the other girls; her attention was drawn to a strange woman.

The woman was wearing a white halter dress, her long hair cascading down her face. Her exposed skin was deathly pale, with dark circles under her eyes, an extremely dull gaze, and faint bloodshot veins.

"They even captured this strange woman? That great demon king has a rather insatiable appetite!"

Saya Takagi muttered to herself, but to her surprise, the woman seemed to hear her voice. She slowly turned her head and grinned at her. The smile was extremely eerie, and black blood kept gushing from the corners of her eyes and mouth, dripping down her mouth to her chest, staining her white sundress a dark red before dripping onto the floor.

The horrifying scene made Takagi Saya scream, fall to the ground, and retreat repeatedly on all fours.

However, the other girls seemed oblivious to the fact that the woman in the white dress was bleeding from her mouth and eyes, and instead looked curiously at Takagi Saya, who was pale with fright.

Her three companions, Shizuka Marikawa, Saeko Busujima, and Rei Miyamoto, rushed over to help her, but they were a little puzzled by her reaction.

"Saya, what's wrong?"

“She, she, she…”

Saya Takagi pointed at the woman in the white sundress and said in a trembling voice:

"You, didn't you see what she looked like just now?"

“That woman…” Miyamoto Rei frowned. “She is indeed a bit strange, but apart from being somewhat eerie and dull, she doesn’t seem to have anything special about her, does she?”

Saeko Busujima also said, "She has a somewhat unapproachable aura, and looks a bit scary, but there's really nothing else unusual about her."

"But, but..."

Before Takagi Saya could explain anything, the flying head of Ishii Oren coldly said:
"Her name is Kayako, and she is in charge of security at the East Castle. She will be your most reliable bodyguard, provided that you do not provoke her or try to do anything that will anger the lord."

At this point, a malicious sneer appeared on her face. "By the way, Kayako is a vengeful spirit with the ability to kill each of you instantly. But she doesn't like to kill people quickly; she prefers to torture them to death little by little... If you have any doubts about her spiritual power, you are welcome to test it yourself, though the price may be your lives."

After a pause, and once everyone had processed the information, she said coldly:
"Now, everyone go take a shower and change your clothes. After that, I will start teaching you the rules."

at the same time.

Outside the castle tower, in front of the group of laborers, there appeared a "manager" to supervise them.

He was a huge, obese man, just over two meters tall, with a protruding belly and a neck as thick as his head.
He wore a dirty, greasy butcher's apron, carried an iron hook for hanging meat, and had a cleaver hanging from his belt. Behind him were two skeletal werewolves with hellfire burning in their eye sockets.

The butcher's appearance and size alone are frightening enough, not to mention the two skeletal werewolves behind him.
Most of the laborers were trembling with fear. Even the boldest man, Takashi Komuro, was terrified and his mouth was dry.

"You scum!"

The fat butcher's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he swept his gaze over the crowd. "From today onwards, you are all laborers under my master's command! I am your supervisor, you can call me 'Butcher.' I will teach you the rules and guide you in your work. If anyone displeases me..."

He grinned, and his mouth split open all the way to his ears. His body swelled up like a balloon, transforming into a mountain of flesh monster over three meters tall, with a huge belly covered in layers of fat, a thick neck covered in wrinkles, and two fat legs like stone pillars.

It was the Butcher's Secret Demon.

It brandished its equally enormous iron hook, opened its python-like maw, revealing sharp, saw-like teeth, and roared, spittle flying everywhere:
"Anyone who displeases me will be devoured alive! Yes, I want to eat you all right now! You should be grateful, because my master has restricted my appetite! But don't be too happy yet, I'll be watching you closely, and whoever gives me a chance to eat, I won't be polite!"

Looking at the monster's terrifying size, which was enough to swallow an adult man whole, and at its acidic saliva that immediately corroded the ground and emitted blue smoke upon landing, even someone as bold as Takashi Komuro couldn't help but tremble all over.

Just as Butcher Mystic was disciplining the laborers with his skeletal werewolves, and Ishii Oren was teaching the girls with Kayako.

Inside the main castle tower, in the bathroom.

Li Xingzhou soaked comfortably in the bathtub, his head resting on Wu Yecha's full, round breasts, enjoying her shoulder and neck massage.

Garuda sat opposite Li Xingzhou, with one of his legs crossed over hers, pressing his foot against her chest and abdomen, and pressing hard on his calf muscles. However, judging from her technique, it didn't seem like a massage, but rather she wanted to use a dislocating technique to make him suffer.

Unfortunately, Li Xingzhou's physique was not something Garuda could shake.

Her finger strength, enough to easily crush an ordinary person's leg bone, was merely a massage of moderate pressure to him.

Garuda, seeing Li Xingzhou's carefree appearance, was immediately filled with rage.

Wu Yacha smiled gently:
What did you say about him?

"He brought back so many pretty girls today, aren't you angry?"

"Why be angry? Li Ang is doing a good deed, saving survivors."

"Do you believe this yourself?"

"But that's the truth."

"But he only lets girls into the city, clearly intending to emulate the ancient shoguns and build a grand inner palace. Li Ang, don't you think so?"

“Emmm…” Li Xingzhou nodded with a smile, “I do have that intention.”

"Look!" Garuda, like a cat with its fur standing on end, said angrily, "He admitted it!"

"Gallop, you need to be more magnanimous."

Wu Yacha gently comforted her, "Li Ang is only treating them as his concubines now. Look, those girls are all arranged to learn etiquette in the small castle tower. At most, they will be promoted to concubines in the future. Their status is not comparable to yours."

"You're still defending him! I'm so angry!"

Garuda puffed out her cheeks in anger, stretched her soft little feet under Li Xingzhou's abdomen to test his condition, then suddenly put his legs down, pounced into his arms, straddled him, hugged his neck, and huffed:

"You want to build a harem by capturing so many girls? Well, I'll drain you dry and see if you still have the energy to seduce other girls!"

Li Xingzhou chuckled and supported her swaying waist. "Garuda, don't say such presumptuous things."

Garuda's starry eyes were half-closed, her lips were lightly bitten, and her delicate nose occasionally let out two soft "hmm" sounds as she murmured:
"Even if I can't do it alone, you absolutely have to help me with this."

Wu Yacha pressed her chest against Li Xingzhou's back, her slender hand slipping under Li Xingzhou's ribs, her fingertips tracing Garuda's delicate skin, and she said softly:

"certainly……"
