A new day has come. Welcomed by Zerlicia's happy smile and laughter, she began the day by hugging Hana's stomach as if she were hugging a kitten's stomach.
"Anu...?"
"Just give up, Hana..? You won't be able to get out if it's like that" said Archela, who saw Zerlicia go crazy in the morning.
"Umm.. I actually didn't really have much to worry about but, I was curious about what Zerlicia said last night before in the end, she took me to a place like this," said the confused Hana. Naturally he was confused by Zerlicia's words last night, when viewed from Hana's point of view, he had just met Zerlicia's self.
Perhaps Zerlicia had actually met her in another world... That is the possibility that he thinks, Hana always thinks positively about everything that befalls him.
Even though Zerlicia was brutally taken to the orphanage last night, she thought it was a good decision.
"In another world, you are my slave and we plan on conquering Ralley's country together."
"So...what happened next...?"
"That's it. Of course I'm back in time, you idiot! Awaww, you're cute when you're doing stupid shit."
"Ma...." Hana seemed eager to escape from Zerlicia's embrace.
"Well, there, my sisters are dead. My real goal is to see my sisters grow up happy. And conquering the country, is one way to make my sisters happy until they're gone."
"...." - ".Hana was speechless, not because she was sad to hear the story of Zerlicia, but, Hana could not speak anymore because.
"In short, my cat..."
"Cat?!" Hana was shocked...
"True, you're my cat starting today! You must always obey my words! Hana ~"
".....?!" seen, Hana who looked agitated because of the words of Zerlicia.
"Whatever I say, you have to do it. Otherwise, I would be very angry, Han~" he whispered to scare Hana away.
"...."
With this, the mission of conquest of Hana was over, in the future Zerlicia would train Hana so that she would be obedient and not easy to rebel from Zerlicia.
And. with this too, Zerlicia was completely ready.
"Anu....?"
"Ah, are you aware? Sorry, I was rough on your body last night...."
"...." - ".Hana could only be speechless seeing the wounds that were imprinting all over her body. Most of them are bite wounds. There are also claw wounds and thin incisions that are still clearly visible on his body.
"By the way, about the conquest of the country, are you really going to do it?", continued Hana who was concerned about the condition of his body.
"really so. His intention today was to attack them but, I still need the approval of Seyla."
"Seyla...? Demon queen Archela?"
"Right, because her name is hard to name, so I'm clear as Seyla!"
"...." this time Hana really could only be silent while sighing deeply due to the words spoken by Zerlicia at this time.
"By the way, you still need the approval of Miss Archela right? If I may ask, what requires you to receive approval from him?", said Hana again looking ahead.
"You, is this your true nature? I was happy when you were shy in the previous world but, I think, your true nature is one who really wants to know the secrets of others.."
"No! Not like that!!! I mean, I understand that I'm just a slave to you but, still, I feel uneasy before this country is completely destroyed."
"You can't calm down...?" Zerlicia asked for further explanation regarding the sentence that Hana said earlier.
"The country strongly discriminates against a person of a different race. To them, we, vampires, Elves, dwarves, and so on, are the lowest race on earth. In fact they thought of the devil as just an ant in the eyes of the greedy nobles within the capital...."
"Then?"
"Then... Right, I can't calm down because... I carry the burden of responsibility given by my comrades in arms. The burden of responsibility, however, I must conquer this Ralley country and transform it into a better country. So that our race and other races may live in peace without being accused of being an enemy of mankind."
"But basically, something in the dark will always be dark in the human eye. No matter how much you change it, the selfish nature of man is greater than all the feelings possessed by man. I agree that humans are the highest race on the face of the earth however, sometimes they go crazy to cause various types of damage on the face of this earth. Although they always cover it up in front of other humans, not a few people are aware of human error until finally, there was a clash between the two sides... And of course, the winner is the throne holder. An ordinary person cannot speak the truth in front of a man whose brain has been washed by the throne-holder.
"In short, man is the enemy of man himself, for example, me" Zerlicia said at length explaining what difference one man has with another.
"I know that, therefore, I need great strength so that I can do it!"
"I understand, Hana. After all, from the beginning, they have been harassing my family. So today, it is my turn to harass their families.although, back to the beginning, I need the approval of Seyla to use some of the military forces of the demon world to attack me this time."
"...." - ".Hana was again speechless hearing Zerlicia's speech that sounded so beautiful in her pointed ears.
"What did you guys do last night!?", when he came out of the private room, Zerlicia was immediately startled by the whereabouts of the orphanage mother he did not expect, he said, will come to his hidden room from the other rooms.
"Well...that's....?" Zerlicia turned her face away, where maybe she said that she had just done something strange with Hana to the mother of the orphanage who had been educating herself.
"Look at your opponent's eyes while talking!!", snapped the Mother of the parlour in front of Zerlicia who had just opened the room door.
"Sorry.." despite being scolded, Zerlicia still did not look into the eyes of the House Mother who looks fierce when seen from the look of her eyes.
"No word of apology!! Come with mom!!!"
".... Wait, we're not going to the punishment room, are we?!" suddenly Zerlicia gasped in shock as Mother of the parlour pulled her arm.
"You think?"
By hearing the answer coming out of the mouth of the mother of the home, Zerlicia was very sure that she was being dragged into the punishment room by the mother of the home that educated her.
"Don't punish room!!!"
"No matter! You have made a great sin, you deserve to be punished!"
"No!!! Help me!!! Please, don't go to the punishment room!!!"
"Shut up and come!"
"No way!!! After all, I am no longer the innocent orphanage child like what you taught me!!!"
"Well?!" hearing Zerlicia's words that were boasting about her, the mother of the parlour looked at Zerlicia with a sharp gaze so that Zerlicia realized that she was still the child who was being cared for by the Mother of the parlour.
"Sorry!"
"Zerlicia doesn't have time to go with you to the punishment room." suddenly a voice came from nowhere. After the voice was heard by the two slowly, the voice showed its form in front of the Mother Home who was dragging Zerlicia into the punishment room.
"She's been struggling to get to the point that right now, don't you be a mother who's ruined her child's dreams just because of your selfish attitude as a responsible mother," archela said, bowing her body and lifting the robe she was wearing.
"You...?"
"Archelian. Sorry if I just introduced myself well..."
"A demon...."
"Right, I am a demon, I am more a demon than any other demon!!"
"So you've been lost so far, Zerlicia?"
"Well?!" Zerlicia was surprised, the arrival of Archela was not to free Zerlicia from her present situation however... What happens next.... Zerlicia is getting scolded by the mother of the orphanage.
"Come on, as I said, Zerlicia has taken pains to get to the point now. If you mess things up, inevitably I have to act tough on you, I don't care if you're a mother Zerlicia is proud of but, back to the beginning of the word, I don't care if you're a mother Zerlicia's proudest, you'll destroy Zerlicia if you don't let her go now!"
"....."
"No! Either way, I'm the mother now. Although from your explanation, Zerlicia who is now 20 years old, it will not change the fact that Zerlicia is still a family member in this orphanage."
"I know it, but...." Archela was silent for a moment.
"Should I show you everything that Zerlicia has been through until she reaches the point that she thinks it will lead her to a beautiful future?" archela completes his sentence.
After she said that, there, the mother of the parlour seemed to be in disbelief with what Archela said. Instead, Zerlicia wondered, whether Archela was really capable of doing it or not?
"I can, stupid. Do you think the power of Succubus is only to manipulate from dreams alone?"
"Well..." Zerlicia realized that the power of Succubus could be used for other things besides blackmailing the lives of men. And controlling dreams.
"Don't be selfish, I know you're doing what you can for Zerlicia's future but I'm doing the same. The difference is, we both have different points of view. I've undergone various world changes caused by the power of Zerlicia. It's all really troublesome you know?" archela said as she continued to approach the Mother of the orphanage until she managed to get it.
"Just relax, I won't cut your head open."
After that, Archela then showed everything that Zerlicia had experienced. Archela shows her memories while watching Zerlicia's adventures from her magic ball.
And there, the mother of the parlour began to see, the heavy struggle that Zerlicia had experienced after coming out of the beach. At first everything was still fine, but when Zerlicia was framed by slave traders, the mother of the parlour was immediately jolted back.
"Until that point, Zerlicia was still able to respond. Look at the problems that followed."
From the story of Zerlicia enslaving Lein, then meeting Zerlicia with herself Elsa in the slave city, then Zerlicia was given the mission of saving Wayra with her lover...
And so on. everything was clearly visible in the memories of the mother of the parlour that was synchronized with the memories of Archela.
Everything, including when Zerlicia entered the forbidden dungeon. And at that moment, Zerlicia lost for the first time.
The time Zerlicia met Archela for the first time, it was truly terrifying. Zerlicia lost a one-on-one fight with Archela, leaving Zerlicia to be detained and tortured for a year without stopping.
Treated like an animal, the mother of the orphanage who saw one of her students being treated like an animal, just got angry and then hit a wall nearby.
"You....?"
"Simply like what I saw for myself. I intend to tell you everything later but, what can I do, besides, please do not tell Rleas and the others. I don't want them to worry about my condition any more."
"..." - ".The mother couldn't open her mouth after seeing what Zerlicia had experienced during her time in the wild.
"Can I go?"
".... At least, don't do that in this place. What if the other kids find out?"
"...." - ".Mother of the orphanage forgives Zerlicia. Although suddenly the mother of the parlour changed her mind like that, Zerlicia did not want to bother with the words of the Mother of the parlour. He immediately decided to go somewhere with Archela.
"Go back before the sun goes down!"
"I'll do it!!" then... Zerlicia waved her hand as she walked forward...
"You're really, really selfish, but, if I'm given power like you, Zerlicia. I will do the same as you have done all this time, Zerlicia. However, I was destined to follow where fate took me...."
"Zerlicia, I will continue to pray for your safety, even though, you have turned into a demon though."
****
Going out, Zerlicia and Archela together go to the place where all the stories of their journey begin. And it was there, where Zerlicia and Archela met for the first time.
"Ryspa!!! I miss you!!!!"
When they reached the mouth of the cave using the teleportation portal, Zerlicia immediately invited Archela to stop for a moment in a city located not far from the forbidden cave dungeon.
And that's where Ryspa lives. A cool looking girl in front of Zerlicia's eyes....
Perhaps the girl did not recognize Zerlicia because Zerlicia was wearing a robe that covered her entire body including, the veil that covered her head.
However, Zerlicia was very familiar with a person named Ryspa who treated himself well while in the city.
"Anu, who are you? Have we met before?"
"Your mother is growing up, you are different from my 17-year-old immortal self."
"Anu...?"
"Didn't you recognize me? We just met one year ago.I may have experienced some changes but...." Zerlicia lifted the veil that covered her face so that Ryspa could see an old friend visiting her.
"Devil!!??" suddenly, Ryspa screamed. His screams were heard all over the inn. Father, as well as the adventurers who were stopping by, just stand by because the form of the demon Zerlicia frightens them all.
"I'm not bad at calling me a demon. Although this is my body now, yet, I am still me. Do you remember? The kitten you took care of a year ago?"
"...?" it seems he forgot about it. Naturally, they only met for a day. While Ryspa has a lot of acquaintances from various parts of the world.
"Let me reintroduce myself, me, Zerlicia Namsaka. I'm just here to let go of your longing to let you know if, my goal has been achieved."
"Huh?!" Ryspa was very surprised by Zerlicia's words just now.
He was surprised because the demonic woman he saw was someone he knew very well. Zerlicia was a person who was so imprinted in the memory of Ryspa... However, this time around, Ryspa was completely puzzled by what he was seeing right now.
At first he thought that Zerlicia only boasted when he said he intended to use the power of the Demon Queen, but in front of him now, the appearance of the demon Zerlicia that he got from the results of his hard work so far.
"You...seriously?"
"really. I just wanted to say that soon I'll destroy Ralley's kingdom, I'm going to this place just to invite you to..."
"No!", was immediately denied.
"I don't want to work with you!"
"Huh?" why did he refuse so hard? Why didn't he wait for Zerlicia to finish her sentence? Why he....
Zerlicia wondered why Ryspa immediately rejected Zerlicia's offer to join her because Ryspa was one of the people who helped her in the city.
Of course, it's not just Ryspa. All those who helped Zerlicia in the city, too, would be invited by Zerlicia to enter into an alliance with their benefit.
But nevertheless....
"Ahhahhh, are you serious?" with a sigh, Zerlicia questioned the same question once again to Ryspa.
"You think...?"
"Yes-yes I know. I have become a demon now. And for a normal human like you, joining the devil is like getting closer to the abyss of torment. But but..."
"What?!"
"What if the devil wants to save the world?"
"Huh? The devil saved the world? What stupid fairy tale are you making?!"
"No no no, it's not a fairy tale. More precisely, I intend to remove the social gaps that occur and, acts of racism that are inherent in the human psyche," said Zerlicia.
"And of course, to realize my big dream, I need a great power that is able to uphold the world and its contents."
"...you...?"
"Forget it, I lost my interest in you. I originally intended to let go of missing you however, you. If we meet again later, make sure you join me."
"Until death, I will not walk the path you have taken!"
That's how he said, then Zerlicia pampit go to the forbidden dungeon to free the monsters trapped in there.
"Humans are like that~. They have to lie so as not to be ostracized by other humans. hahaha, it's funny."
"Shut up, Seyla! It might be funny to you but to me, it hurts, I want her to be my sister again."
"Don't you have Wayra, Lein, and me?"
"Are you ever acting like a big brother in front of me?"
"Hoihoi, did you not notice it? If I don't think of you as my brother, how can I help you."
"Select, I'm sure you'll have other plans.."
"Don't be bad to think like that dong~."
A short conversation they discussed before in the end, the two of them released half the demon army that was confined within the dungeon.
"Remember, Seyla, we have to arrest the Queen and her daughters, as well as various other women who exist."
"I know, I think you're innocent yet, you've turned into an expert succubus."
"Be quiet! I did this for you! We have to multiply the production of the demon army, you know?"
"Yes-yes, understood."
