However, it is not as effective against a demon king who seizes power by killing 'disobedient gods'.

Shirou walked over to the woman and sat down on the sofa next to her.

"Let's forget about unsolicited congratulations. You've come to the Demon King's residence without permission, don't you even know how to introduce yourself?"

Upon hearing Shirou's words, the goddess let out a soft, bell-like laugh.

"I belong to Greek mythology, the Demon King, why don't you guess who I am?"

"Greek mythology, huh..."

Unfortunately, Shirou had just finished reading a book about Greek mythology.

"Hmm... whether it's appearance or divine authority, there's only one who best fits the bill..."

After a moment's thought, Shirou's suspicions about the identity of the blonde, blue-eyed goddess before him became increasingly clear.

"Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty?"

Aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty in ancient Greek mythology, as well as the goddess of eroticism, and one of the twelve Olympian gods.

Because it originated from the ocean, it is sometimes revered as the patron saint of navigation.

She was born from the sea spray, possessing porcelain-like skin, blonde hair and blue eyes, and the perfect figure and appearance of an ancient Greek woman, symbolizing female beauty and considered the ultimate symbol of female physical beauty.

When Shirou uttered the name, the blonde goddess in front of him maintained her smile and winked playfully at him.

"Heh heh~ You guessed it~"

"..."

Shirou stared speechlessly at the goddess in front of him, who seemed to have lived for countless years yet was still pretending to be young.

Having already learned about the mythology surrounding this goddess, Shirou now has absolutely no interest in her.

This beautiful 'goddess of love' is actually the 'sea queen' in mythology who has countless lovers.

The sheer number of her romantic affairs only leads one to conclude that the entertainment industry is truly chaotic.

"Very well, Aphrodite, what brings you to me?"

Aphrodite seemed to be in a good mood when Shirou asked her question, and answered him in a cheerful tone.

"Firstly, it's because I was curious about you, this newly appeared demon king, and wanted to see what you were like. Now that I've seen you, I'm quite satisfied~."

Shirou stared at her expressionlessly.

"and then?"

"Tch, how boring!"

Seeing that Shirou was not attracted by her beauty and seduction at all, Aphrodite pouted slightly in displeasure, and then continued.

"As for the second point, it's to remind you."

"remind me?"

Shirou frowned.

Aphrodite continued.

“That’s right. Because you defeated that ‘black dragon’ Nidhogg before, you have now attracted the attention of many gods, especially the Greek gods. Even if you don’t actively seek them out, they will come looking for you.”

Hearing Aphrodite's seemingly warning words, Shirou was somewhat delighted.

"Is there such a good thing?"

Shirou's behavior, however, stunned Aphrodite.

"Those are gods from the entire pantheon. Even if you were the Demon King, you wouldn't be able to face so many gods. Aren't you afraid?"

However, Shirou showed a somewhat indifferent expression.

"Since I've become a god-slayer, I'm already an enemy of the gods. Isn't it normal for the gods to take action against me for not obeying them?"

Aphrodite's mouth was slightly agape, surprised by the frankness of the seventh demon king.

"Okay, I'm just here to remind you anyway."

With that, Aphrodite, the goddess of love, stood up and slowly walked toward the French windows.

"I'll be going now~ Maybe we'll meet again in the future."

With the departure of the blonde, blue-eyed goddess, the room fell into complete silence.

Shirou looked at the scenery outside the window as the night wind blew in, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The Greek gods... but wasn't the black dragon from Norse mythology the one I defeated?"

Although it is not yet known whether Aphrodite's words are true or false, after all, this goddess's deeds in Greek mythology are not good. Her charming appearance has deceived countless gods and humans and caused countless human tragedies.

Even so, at least it gave Shirou some mental preparation for this.

Moreover, the initial dream from the Type-Moon world inexplicably resurfaced in Shirou's mind, making him vaguely feel that the goddess was probably not a hoax.

As for what this goddess's purpose was, it's impossible to figure it out now.

After Aphrodite left, Shirou stood up and went to the bookshelf, taking out more books related to Greek mythology.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy and you will never be defeated." Knowing that his opponent was likely a descendant of the Greek gods, Shirou naturally wouldn't sit idly by and wait for his doom.

"In short, let's gather all the information we can first."

If he becomes arrogant because he is stronger than the 'Godslayers' of all time, he will eventually pay the price for that arrogance.

……

Time passed slowly, and by the time Shirou came to his senses from the vast collection of mythological books, it was already dawn.

Shirou put down his book, stood up, and stretched his arms, his bones making a comforting sound.

"Hmm...time really flies."

Muttering to himself, Shirou walked toward the door.

When Shirou opened the door, he suddenly noticed Karen, the maid, pacing back and forth anxiously in the doorway.

"Why are you loitering in front of my door so early in the morning? Is there something you need?"

Shirou, seeing the maid's anxious state, asked with some confusion.

Upon hearing Shirou's question, the maid Karen shuddered like a startled kitten, then quickly and respectfully bowed to Shirou, answering with a nervous expression.

"Your Majesty, breakfast has been prepared for you. It may be a little cold because you have been waiting for so long. I will have someone redo it for you."

"That's it."

Shirou nodded, expressing his approval of the maid's work ethic.

Shirou also roughly understood why Kallen had been waiting outside the door without daring to knock.

He had specifically instructed the maid last night not to disturb him while he was resting, no matter what happened.

Since Karen did as he was told, Shirou naturally wouldn't blame her for the food being a little cold.

After all, he wasn't some unreasonable or domineering person.

However, from the card

From Ren's cautious attitude towards him, Shirou gained a deeper understanding of the extraordinary status that 'Godslayers' hold in this world.

After waiting for a while, the maid Karen came to Shirou's door again.

"Breakfast has been redone for you, Your Majesty. Would you like to eat now?"

“Of course.” Shirou nodded.

"Then, Your Majesty, please follow me."

The girl, dressed in a blue and white maid outfit, said this and began to lead Shirou to the restaurant.

Chapter Thirteen: The Undercover Movements of the Italian Magic Society

Upon arriving at the restaurant, Shirou dismissed the servants who were standing by, instructing them to go about their other tasks. He did not like anyone watching him while he ate.

"Hmm, the taste is not bad."

Shiro savored the tender, high-quality steak with a knife and fork, using Italian Alba truffles as a condiment, fully enjoying the delightful taste.

Then, Shirou frowned as he looked at the other dishes on the table.

"Karen, sit down and eat with us."

"Eh?"

The maid was stunned when she heard Shirou's words. She hadn't expected the "King" to suddenly invite her to dine with him.

For her, serving a "king" should be done with utmost care and respect, because that is a demon king who possesses divine power and rules over everything on earth.

One must constantly try to guess the king's mood; if one displeases the king even slightly, one may face unimaginable punishment.

While the maid panicked because of his casual remark, Shirou looked at her with some confusion.

"what happened?"

"Ah... no, it's nothing!"

When Kallen saw Shirou's gaze, she was startled and quickly pulled out a chair to sit up straight.

"This steak tastes pretty good."

Shiro tasted it and praised it.

“I’m glad you like it, ‘Wang’.”

Karen remained seated with a stiff posture, carefully picking up her utensils and beginning to eat.

Her fearful expression left Shirou speechless.

"..."

As Shirou watched his maid steal glances at him while eating, he suddenly remembered something.

"By the way, where is Lady Liliana?"

“Well… Miss Liliana said there’s an important meeting at the ‘Wolf Headquarters’ today, and it might take a while. She won’t be back until the afternoon.”
