Asmodeus found himself separated from the other won because of the customs of the village. He could still picture the cute face of Liana and Vinea, who Sariel and Ciela dragged away the two with bitter smiles.
'The crying face of Vinea was quite adorable...'
It wasn't permanent, but during the first night, it ant that he would sleep alone and bathe in the sacred waters of the Inukami hot springs to remove his 'impurities' to avoid a disaster.
'Oh... Serena? What's wrong you sound a little low.'
The hut given to Asmodeus was quite snug, made from the special trees that protected the eastern forest, both resistant to fire and water while retaining both flexibility and strength.
Moka trees, which would give a delicious peach-like fruit during the autumn seasons.
This information was sothing that Yumiko ntioned as they walked through the tori gates—Moka trees were spread on either side because not only did their fruit keep the tribe well-fed during winter, but the effect made monsters wary, forming a natural barrier.
[I...]
'Go on tell , I have ti... lots of ti to listen to you and your worries.'
Asmodeus sat beside the window, which overlooked the village from above.
His hut was near the main shrine and palace-like structure, and the hot spring was a few monts from him.
He overlooked the beautiful forest while letting his lips gently lift into a smirk, hearing Serena's weak voice like a tired office lady coming ho to her lover and kicking off her shoes before complaining about her boss.
'That's the feeling I get now...' He thought while picturing Serena in an office ladies' suit, lying on the sofa while kicking her shoes and looking back at him with slightly drunken eyes.
[Really, then... can I summon you?]
Asmodeus realised that there must be sothing wrong because he had never felt Serena so vulnerable; even when flirting or teasing her, she kept her strong will as a goddess.
Yet right now, he could sense nothing—she just felt like a female fox.
'Anyti, no matter what you need I am always willing to help.'
This woman not only helped his mother to leave this world with his father, but she did much more than that for him. Without Serena, he would have died at worst, but also, the woman he now loves would have suffered a horrible fate without her aid.
That's why, for him, Serena was both a motherly woman he felt attracted to and soone that he wanted to protect.
[Mhm~]
A brilliant light filled the hut before Asmodeus rubbed his eyes, yawning several tis before his body lay on the dark brown table.
The scene of the handso demon king with his hair cascading over his shoulders while sleeping by the window was picturesque—a sha none of his lovers were here to see it.
However, one person saw with curious and sparkling eyes.
"Tsk... this man, how can he sleep so peacefully, now I have to wait until he wakes to send him to the bath... Damn!" The black-haired fox spoke with a huff and snorted. Yet her eyes continued to gaze at the male as a soft breeze blew his hair through the air.
***
Darkness...
Asmodeus found himself in this place countless tis in the past. At first, he felt uncomfortable and wanted to find the light, or bright light, in this realm.
However, now that he had visited so many tis, his eyes could see perfectly in the darkness, and sohow, he didn't want others able to see this sight, so he wanted the darkness to remain forever, keeping out anyone but him.
"Serena?"
An alluring scent entered the young demon king's nose.
It reminded Asmodeus of when he first t her, like sweet morning flowers mixed with vanilla and freshly baked bread. At first, he wondered if he suffered a stroke, but now... he knew it was her.
In the centre of the dark flowers, nightshades, violets, and blue roses was a beautiful fox. No longer did she mimic Yumiko's form, and instead, with long, obsidian hair and sharp silver eyes, she gazed towards him lying on her side—she twirled a soft flower in her hand while watching Asmodeus.
[You ca so easily. Normally, you are stubborn or are having sex in your free ti. Fufu.]
"Hush. You called because you wanted ..." Asmodeus approached, but like every ti before, an invisible force stopped him. "I'm sorry..."
[Good, don't be cheeky! Hmph~]
The force vanished, and a warm feeling pushed him closer as he sat beside Serena; in the darkness, it felt impossible for any living creature to thrive, yet, sohow, for Asmodeus, it felt comfortable. The black-haired fox watched him sit with those captivating eyes before leaning toward him with a small smile on her face.
"You seem tired. What's wrong? Do you need help sleeping?" Asmodeus asked with genuine concern.
Of course, it was rare to see the goddess with a human-like presence—she liked to put on airs. So, seeing her like this was a rare and lucky event that he couldn't miss!
[Nnn~ stop making so much noise and co here!]
Serena stretched her body, the smooth wrinkles of her black ballroom dress becoming worse, as she pulled his body into her embrace and hugged him tightly from behind.
[I just... rembered the past a little.]
'The past?' Asmodeuscuriously thought as he leaned back against her large breasts—resting his head against them to make the tall fox smile happily.
He couldn't help but enjoy how soft and comfortable they were, like marshmallow pillows.
"Before you t this handso young man? I hope you're not thinking of soone else, I'll get jealous." Asmodeus joked while her hands hugged him, and the warm breath blowing down his neck beca stronger.
[Idiot... there was never a man before you....]
"Eh?"
The shocking admission made Asmodeus open his eyes, and the demon lord felt his chest beating faster, a strange feeling different from his usual position of superiority. He was the weaker in this relationship, so it felt so strange for him.
[W-Wait... don't forget that!] A beautiful, seductive voice, now tinged with embarrassnt and sha. Serena lowered her head, leaning her chin on the top of his head, his horns perfectly placed on either side of her head while she pressed her breasts tighter against Asmodeus' back as if she wished to devour him whole.
[Are you that happy to be hugged by ? Hehe~]
The shy and cute expressions caused Asmodeus to feel strange typically, though they might flirt when eting, this kind of sweet and warm ti never usually happens. 'I don't know what I can do for her, but the least I will do is stay beside her and listen to Serena's complaints.'
"Do you want to talk about it?"
[Oh? It's surprising!]
"What?"
[How gentle and affectionate you're being... Normally, you're trying to get in my pants or trick into kissing you!] The high pitch beca higher in the latter part of her sentence, followed by the clicking of her tongue as if rembering the past events where she allowed herself to fall for his charms.
Yet he also felt her arms around his chest, gripping him, her fingers spreading out and massaging his chest.
[I like it... this is nice. If only I could forget my position and be like this...]
"Shall I beco a god slayer, and free you?"
[Eh...]
[Would you truly do that for ?]
"!?"
The soft words with her honest tone caused a tight pain in his chest. Asmodeus understood Serena didn't an that as a joke, and because of that, it hurt him. A feeling that he didn't expect, like a sudden uppercut from a dark horse that knocked the champion down in the last round... Asmodeus fell.
"You can't leave . I won't let you."
Asmodeus reached back with his hand and placed it against the silky hair and closed his eyes, his hand sliding across her smooth cheek and brushing against her glossy lips with his fingertips.
Serena's eyes looked stunned—she could sense his thoughts and feelings if she used her usual power, but right now, after thinking about the past, she had forcibly cut off her powers just to take a break because of her chaotic feelings.
"You fool..." Her lips moved for the first ti, able to feel the pounding in his chest through her fingertips and his emotions through his gaze—the two connected by his hand around her shoulder while resting their foreheads together.
"I'm going to beco a God-seducing Emperor!"
The mont he spoke, it felt like her mood shattered, yet the honest and serious flicker in his eyes made her almost burst into laughter at the ridiculous title.
"Are you now?"
Each ti Serena spoke with her true voice, the seductive and sweet tone overwheld Asmodeus, yet he fought hard to resist it. She made a succubus seem like an innocent young girl with no charm.
"Yes..."
A curt reply as Asmodeus breathed slowly, his heart beat like drums during a tal concert. His eyes flicked towards Serena and captured hers, refusing to be overwheld by the lustful presence she possessed; in contrast, Serena could see his resolve, almost tasting the sweetness of it upon her tongue.
Lay this close to him, and with the goddess pressing against him with such force, Asmodeus couldn't stop his growing desire as he wrapped his hands around her neck after she turned him around.
"You are so sinful, to touch a goddess and lust for her with such a brutal thing between your legs is utter blasphemy! Should I pass judgent on this foolish male?"
Her silver eyes glead, and a soft expression replaced her forr sad face—as if she was waiting for him to act this way and enjoy his punishnt.
The mischievous spirit within Serena was alive once more, and although she was depressing her divinity, Serena could still destroy him if they duelled 1v1.
"Heh~ I don't believe in god! But, maybe if the goddess was a super beautiful and sexy fox with black hair that becos my wife in the future..."
"Dream on lover boy~ maybe if you conquer the world and make the sole goddess of the world." A joke, rely playing with his mood, yet a twinkle of seriousness, only a handful of dust in a sandy desert.
However, they both seed to swallow their saliva, and the thought crossed both their minds in this cold, dark place, with only their bodies creating the comfortable warmth.
"Prioritise your current won, they love you to death and want you to understand them..." Serena suddenly whispered in a fragile voice. "I've seen many fated souls break apart and lose everything because of the most simple mistakes."
This woman hugged him against her chest, lowering her head until he could hear her quiet breathing.
Sotis like a friend, a sister or even a lover, but now she felt like a caring mother. The strange feeling the goddess gave was sothing that Asmodeus cherished, even after becoming a demon king.
"I'll do my best."
"Good!"
The dark world slowly began to fade, a feeling of water enveloping him as her words beca distant and harder to hear. Unlike they beca but a mosquito's whisper.
"I can wait..."
