Chapter 80
"Long time no see, you crazy bitch. I missed you~"
"I didn’t miss you, stalker girl."
"Whatever. By the way, mind giving Minato back soon? He is my husband, you know?"
"Oh? Finally lost touch with reality, huh? Should I book you a psych ward visit? Minato is my husband."
"Pretty sure I love him way more than a lunatic like you ever could~"
"Says the stalker who can’t do anything but chase after him."
Two beautiful girls glared at each other with saccharine smiles—Lady Cecilia and Aqua, one of the former Supreme Demon Cult’s leaders. The atmosphere was heavy...
How did it come to this? Lord Albert held his head in his hands, while Yukari silently shadow-boxed the air, staring dead-eyed at Aqua. She was ready to throw down. And Minato?
"Aww, See-chan and Aqua get along so well~"
He just smiled obliviously. ...Sir, are you actually this dense?
It all started with a letter—a response to our offer to recruit Aqua after her defection from the Cult. The reply was:
"Hmm. She claims no lingering loyalty to the Supreme Demon Cult and is willing to join our side. We should prepare a welcome."
"Understood."
But when Lady Cecilia caught wind, she’d said:
"Keep that stalker far away from Minato, okay? If she gets close... hehe..."
The blue flames dancing on her palm made it clear this wasn’t a request—it was a threat. Lord Albert and I nodded frantically. Because terrifying. Her smile didn’t even reach her hollow, lightless eyes...
And now, their first meeting had escalated to this standoff.
"Ugh, fine. I couldn’t care less about you, psycho. I’m here to save Minato."
"...I could end you here and now, just so we’re clear. Save him? From what? Don’t say me."
"You and the Supreme Demon Cult. My replacement’s joined them for revenge—to kill Minato."
"...Charming. Someone I know?"
"How should I know what you know? But yes."
"His name’s Zeren Morgen. Older brother to that chimera-fusing trash Rigel Morgen—the one you two took down years ago. A narcissistic, delusional waste of oxygen."
"Ehh?! That guy’s alive?! He fell into the Abyss—I thought he died!"
"Oh, he’s alive. Though ‘alive’ might be generous. Fair warning: he’s even more revolting now. His appearance and his personality. ...Disgusting."
"Ugh... As if things weren’t hard enough already..."
Both Cecilia and Aqua wore expressions of pure revulsion. Just what kind of guy was this Zeren to earn such hatred from two beautiful girls? What do you even do to get that reaction?
