Kaifuku Jutsushi no Yarinaoshi ~ Sokushi Mahou to Skill Copy no Choetsu Heal Volume 7 Chapter 3

Thanks for reading~

I've finally returned to the demon king castle where Eve is.
It took longer than I thought it would.
I told her in advance through a letter that we were able to take control over the Dioral Kingdom without any problems.

I kept an out of sight base to send letters to Eve when they come to Buranikka via Ra.n.a.litta.
So, she shouldn't be that worried about us.
As the dragons land on the courtyard, demons appear to welcome us.

"Welcome back, Kearugsama." (Demon)
"Thanks for coming. Guide me to where Eve is now." (Kearuga)
"Yes!" (Demon)

The demons lower their heads.
I left behind a great achievement by defeating the demon king, and I'm also Eve's personal knight.
So, I have a fitting position here.
As a personal knight, I'm allowed to do anything as long as it will benefit Eve.
I can take out quite a budget if I ask for it, and I can even use the army.
The special features of this status are that I'm allowed to kill and that if someone harms me, it's a treason to the demon king.
Basically, I can do whatever I want.

"Demon king Eve Reese-sama is currently in a meeting. We will guide you to a room, so please wait there." (Demon)
"Okay. I'll do just that." (Kearuga)

We enjoy tea and sweets in the room we were lead to.
It's interesting to taste the sweets in the demon territory, as they have slightly different flavours to the ones in the human world.
The taste of the sugar itself is different.
The tea is quite exciting in its own way.
It's not bad.

"Meat tastes good, but sweet things taste good too!" (Guren)

We were given sweet scone-like things this time.
The kitsune cub is eating them one after the other.
She calls herself a carnivore, but Guren is actually an omnivore.

"Nn. Quite tasty." (Setsuna)
"There was a strong, strange taste on my first bite, but it's quite good as you get used to it." (Kureha)

Setsuna and Kureha both seem to like it. On the other hand, Freya stopped after her first bite as it didn't suit her taste.

"Guren's stomach is full." (Guren)

The kitsune cub rolls into a ball and starts sleeping on top of a desk.
As I nonchalantly stroke her stomach and head, Guren purrs with an ecstatic face.
Fumu, it seems she's learnt that it feels good when I stroke her, as Guren entrusted me with her body without resisting.
I've almost cleared the first phase, as it has become normal for me to stroke her when there's a chance.

And once she unconditionally starts receiving my caress, I'll move onto the next one. I'll tell her that it will feel better to be stroked in her girl form, and if she accepts that, I'll stroke her body in suitable places and tell her that it will feel even better if I go deeper.
Since Guren's head is a bit off, I feel like she'll let me do it pretty easily.
Deceiving a stupid child is fun and exciting in its own way.

There's an order to everything.
If I just suddenly thrust 'that' into her, she'll get angry and that will be the end.
I'll acc.u.mulate small steps.
I'm used to being patient.

After around half an hour had pa.s.sed, the door opened.
Eve appeared with her guards next to her.
Eve is as cute as ever.
Her looks, body and black wings are all so lovely.

"You're finally back! Geez, you're late Kearuga." (Eve)

Eve runs up to me and hugs me.

"You probably shouldn't do this kind of stuff in front of your subordinates. They'll start underestimating you." (Kearuga)
"But we were separated for so long. I couldn't control myself." (Eve)

She hugs me strongly.
Not only was she lonely, I'm sure it must've been uneasy at the demon king castle.

"… Good grief, you're so selfish. I'll take over as the guard so you guys can go to another position." (Kearuga)
"Yes, understood." (Guard)

The demon guards leave the room.
After confirming the door is closed, I kiss her. It's an adult kiss.
Eve entwines her leg around mine, wanting more.
I want to go ahead like this, but I need to talk to her about all sorts of things first.
Otherwise, too many things will be on my mind that I won't be able to get engrossed in the deed.

"Eve, I'm glad you're doing well." (Kearuga)
"Me too. I was really worried, you know." (Eve)

I smile wryly.
It's a reaction I couldn't even imagine she would give when I first met her.
She gave a natural reaction as a lover.
In Eve's case, I gradually trained her without using brainwas.h.i.+ng. Thanks to that, she was done pretty well.

"When we were at the Dioral Kingdom, we subjugated the existence that creates black knights and the Dioral king. And then, we left Ellen there to take hold of the Dioral Kingdom. How's the demon king castle going?" (Kearuga)
"I've been doing it just like you told me to. Taking in the power of the previous demon king, restoring public order, adjusting things to get ready for peace with humans. I can't say it's doing well, but it's advancing." (Eve)

Can't say it's doing well, huh.
Well, I guess that makes sense.

"Is there an opposing force?" (Kearuga)
"Yeah, they're just opposing through discussions for now though. There were all sorts of factions in the races that were being persecuted, saying that we need to ma.s.sacre everyone who received good treatment from the previous demon king, or things like peace with humans is impossible." (Eve)

That was within expectations.
There were many races that almost perished because of the persecution they received from the previous demon king.
And, since the war with humans was so long, they have feelings they can't just shake off.

"… You'll have to keep discussing for a while. If it's still no good, then we'll have to use force." (Kearuga)

It's not like we can't solve things through power.
Eve is the demon king.
One of the powers of a demon king is that they can give orders of absolute compliance to all demons and monsters.
Since Eve is the demon king, no one can go against her.

However, it has many defects.
It's a power that doesn't work if her words don't reach them, and it has no effect if there's no specific order.
There's nothing we can do about people that don't face Eve, there are many loopholes if they do things other than what was commanded through the order, forcefully ordering them will just stir hatred and there's a higher chance for people to plot rebellions in places where Eve can't see.

In the first place, she can't rule without their power.
If they don't revolt or even do anything, it'll just become a bad situation.

"Standing above people is so difficult. Even though everyone came together to defeat the previous demon king, they all split up after winning." (Eve)
"That's just how it is. Let alone each race, every single person has their own thoughts. The one that manages all of them is the demon king." (Kearuga)
"That's true. It's a little tiring, but I'll do my best." (Eve)

I stroke Eve's head.
Normally she would get angry at me, telling me to not treat her like a child, but this time she obediently accepted it.

"Then, I guess I'll use the special thing I prepared for you." (Kearuga)

I click my fingers.
Then, two demon government officials appeared.
Eve becomes cautious, but I tell her it's okay.
I had ordered them to show up straight away when I return.

"Here is my report. Kearugsama, the snow leopard tribe chief Kluccharra has started moving to cause a rebellion. They colluded with every race with a demon king candidate, and are currently preparing fighting power." (Government official)

A sudden big thing, huh.
The snow leopard tribe is one of the oppressed races that defeated the demon king with us, a sworn friend.
The report continued on.

"They are currently in progress with a plan to drag in an a.s.sa.s.sin from the thorn turtle tribe." (Government official)
"The races that were with the previous demon king have been carrying out the a.s.set confiscating plan Eve-sama refused." (Government official)
"Each tribe is trying to make themselves have higher positions, so exiling people with official positions with false charges are happening daily, and it has influenced the public order of the demon king territory." (Government official)
"Several tribes have been demanding interviews for the merit system Eve-sama is leading. However, the interviews have become 90% of the evaluation since it depends on the interviewer, the merit system has not actually been working." (Government official)
"The red dog tribe asking for a.s.sistance for the towns that received war damage is embezzling. In the actual place, they are about to explode from discontent to the current demon king." (Government official)

I was sure the other tribes were doing whatever they please, but this is even worse than I had imagined.
These two are under my control, and they tell me information that doesn't reach Eve.

They're puppets I made through【Transformation Heal】and all sorts of brainwas.h.i.+ng techniques.
By spreading puppets like these to every tribe, I can receive reports on the information they gathered.

Making every chief a puppet would be the fastest thing to do, but unfortunately, those types of people have a tough guard up, which means I have to ma.s.sacre all their guards to brainwash them over a long period of time, so the risk is high.
That's why I chose people that had were alone and reasonably high statuses to build up the people under my control.
Of course, since I love peace and justice, I don't brainwash unreasonably. I make sure to only choose the people that hold Eve or me in contempt.
My conscience wouldn't hurt if I do it to those sorts of people.

Gaining information is the most important thing.
No matter how much power I have, there's no point if I don't use it correctly, and I need information to use it correctly.
… This method is something I learnt from watching the hero of the【Gun】, Bullet. That s.h.i.+tty b.a.s.t.a.r.d's personality and fetish are lower than trash, but just his ability is outstanding.

"Thanks. I learnt a lot. You can return now." (Kearuga)
""Yes, Kearugsama"" (Government officials)
"This is your reward." (Kearuga)

I throw candy at them.
Then, the two government officials start breathing roughly and jump at the candy rolling on the ground.

"Hahh hahh, Kearugsama's candy." (Government official)
"Delight! Pa.s.sion! Unexpected! Joy! Climax!" (Government official)

They pick up the candy on the ground with their tongues and start licking it with expressions showing ecstasy.
Because of how deeply moved they were, their pants swelled out from becoming erect, and one of them wet his pants.
… It's kind of disgusting. I adjusted them too much.
As their candy disappears, they bow with awfully sad faces.
I throw a bag with plenty of candy at them.

"This is for the other cooperators. Make sure to give it to them. I'll throw you guys away if you dare s.n.a.t.c.h it." (Kearuga)
"Ye-, yes, hahh hahhh, ahhh, I un, I understand. I will take care of everyone's portion. Won-, won't eat, Kearugsama's, won't eat, patience, patience nnnnnn." (Government official)

He's desperately enduring an intense feeling of arousal and the fear of being thrown away.
Tears and saliva are spilling out, making an awful image.
I wave my hand, telling him to go already, and he leaves the room.

"Goshujinsama, what were those disgusting things?" (Guren)
"When I was in the demon king castle before, there were a bunch of people that came to hara.s.s me out of jealousy. So, after persuading them a little, they became my friends and started helping me out." (Kearuga)
"It wasn't at the level of just persuading! Are you going to do that stuff to Guren!? That's super scary!" (Guren)
"I won't, and I don't need to." (Kearuga)

Well, it's a lie though.
I made Freya and Ellen receive a full-course brainwash, and I haven't stopped giving them maintenance.
Although I haven't used【Transformation Heal】on Kureha, I have brainwashed her.
On top of that, when I embrace her, she especially has weak spots in her heart when she climaxes, so I had always inserted my love into her.
That's my weakness. I can't trust my comrades if I don't go that far.

"Nn. Setsuna is Kearugsama's property. So, he can do anything to her. She can accept brainwas.h.i.+ng if he wants to." (Setsuna)
"Well, I love Kearuga, so that kind of thing is unnecessary." (Kureha)
"I agree with Kureha. Even without those fake bonds, the love between Kearugsama and I are real!" (Freya)

I got shocked by Freya's words, but I don't think they're wrong.
A real thing had piled up on top of a lie.

… I wonder what would happen if Flare regained her memories.
Her feelings of love when she was Freya might unexpectedly win over so she might continue staying by my side.
Well, I don't want to destroy Freya after raising her this far.
If I was going to do something like that, I would've done it when I executed the Dioral king. I like Freya so much that I would rather keep her with me than do something as fun as that.

"We derailed a bit, but Eve, we're in this kind of situation." (Kearuga)
"… I did imagine it, but it's even worse than I thought. I knew some people opposed it, but I didn't think even that person was part of it." (Eve)

Eve is depressed.
The information the two government officials gathered was just that shocking.
The a.s.sa.s.sination plan, rebellion plan and every other thing.
It was too much of a heavy reality for her.

"Don't worry. As long as you know about it beforehand, you can make counter-measures. We've actually got the perfect, reliable evidence to hold them down. I'll go destroy them. And then, I'll make an example out of them. While teaching them that Eve can see further than their imaginations, I'll also teach them what will happen if they become our enemies." (Kearuga)

To put it simply, the reason why they're doing whatever they please like this is because they underestimate Eve.
Then, we just have to show them that they're wrong.
Unfortunately, nothing can be gained from appealing to them, so we have no choice but to show Eve's power.

"Okay. I'll do that. Help me, Kearuga." (Eve)
"Of course. They're the type of people that would hut my lover, so there's no way I can forgive them. … First, let's go to the bedroom. We can start moving when the time comes." (Kearuga)

I kiss Eve and carry her in my arms.
Eve's body is hot, so she must have been antic.i.p.ating it quite a lot.
Well then, I did want to enjoy some revenge after so long, but there are more idiots than I expected.

Now I should be able to distract my boredom.
While embracing Eve, I'll think about how I can punish the people that tried to kill my lover.
I'm sure that will be very very exciting.

Author's note: Thank you for always supporting me.
