Friday morning…

Demon lord's skysc.r.a.per…

After taking her usual morning bath, Noona dressed into a cowgirl outfit then summoned a guard . She mimicked the weird accent, though Leo always gave her funny looks . Everyone's a critic .

"What's the status on Leo, boy," Noona said, arms folded . She didn't approve of tobacco products, so vowing to be the pure cowgirl came naturally . No disgusting spitting . Even thinking about it was gross . "I'se told you to go over yonder and takes a peek yesterday, but no one reported . You should always report to the sheriff, boy . "

The guard stop widening his eyes long enough to reply .

"My lady we tried, but no one could find him . Not even our sources . We checked the cult just in case, but nothing…except the disturbing possibility of crusader involvement . "

Noona paled .

"Leo…when we find him, we'll throw him another birthday party . No one should…no one should miss their own party . " She sighed . "Crusaders…and I reckon po' Leo could be anywhere . I want the guards doubled, boy . Ya hear me? Get on it . In the meantime, I reckon I will change into my newest outfit . "

The guard scurried off . Noona motioned for her personal maid to shut the door . The maid blushed as she watched her demon lord strip to bra and panties . What would she give to have b.r.e.a.s.t.s and a figure like that, while eating junk food nearly nonstop . The cooks had to come up with creative ways to disguise healthy meals .

Noona dressed in a white designer s.h.i.+rt with a short skirt to match the color . No point of wearing any elaborate dresses, not to be a duelist . Someone who fought for their friends . Not that she had any . She wouldn't let that discourage her .

She sat on a stool . The maid walked over to work on her hair . Mostly straight, but with two small drill-trails to drape in front of her shoulders .

"My lady, please be safe," the maid said after she finished her hair . Noona smiled .

"Of course," she said then pulled the blus.h.i.+ng maid into a hug . "Keep up the good work . And if you need anything, just let me know . "

The maid bowed when she was released .

"I'll be fine as long as you keep smiling, my lady . "

Why did he purchase the harp…? Well, his other choices were awful or downright weird . How many pounds of v.i.a.g.r.a was concentrated in the Infinite Erection Drink? Mysteries for later .

It was at last time to commence the raid . Clyde and the party woke early, ate breakfast, and stretched . They made sure everyone's gear was up to par . The young man tried to convince Kitome to make some things for everyone, but she refused .

"I'm not a miracle," she said . "I can't think of anything on the spot . "

Clyde nodded .

"It was worth a try . " He smiled . Kitome gave him a playful light punch in the arm . They were off to the side .

"Besides, my crafting 'services' are only limited to you . " She lowered her voice to a whisper . "And they require lots of love . Which we must make . " She kissed him . Clyde laughed .

"A fair price," he said . "You drive one h.e.l.l of a bargain . "

Kitome's blush still remained .

"You're making me say embarra.s.sing things . " She covered her face . Clyde waited until she moved her hands then kissed her . If time permitted, the duo would've snuck to either the young man's room or the back for…comforting .

Instead, he split everyone into teams—those who would take out the remaining magic circles, the main force, and the secondary wave . Clare and the magical girls would take another path, clearing out any enemies in sight . They'd detain anyone non-resistant . Anyone else were to be killed .

The fact still remained was that they devoured humans on a nightly basis, let the minotaurs run rampant, as well as a crazy cult, and attracted crusaders . The holy warriors were still sc.u.mmy a.s.sholes that Clyde planned to deal with, but also fought for the side of humans .

"Neko stay behind with Hinako—"

"Nyaa—no can do," she said, interrupting the young man . "Also, did I tell you of the Omen's sphere?"

"Alright then, Hinako you'll have to play the waiting game," Clyde said .

The professor stared blankly . She marched up to him, grabbing the young man by the arm .

"You didn't spend any time with me," she said after pulling him around the corner .

"I warned you, didn't I?" Clyde said . "Despite that, you've been a big help, gathering so much intel . It's not about combat . "

"That's not the point," Hinako said then pulled Clyde in for a kiss . "I honestly don't care about you running what looks to be some kind of harem, but don't ignore me . "

"Who could ignore you?" Clyde said after giving Hinako a quick once-over .

"I'll cut you some slack this time," Hinako said . "And thank you…for what you're doing for these people . I don't know much about demon lords and their intentions, but you really sound like some kind of hero out of a story . Saving people from the hungry monsters . "

Clyde shrugged .

"I don't know about that . Anyway, let's get back to the others . We've got a time crunch . "

[Team main: Clyde, Alice, Natalia, Tear, Harumi . ]

[Observer: Neko]

[Team 2: Melody, Toru, Nina, Ruri, Matsume . ]

[Team 3: Ming, Yuki, Seth, Kitome, and Chika . ]

[Team 4: Clare, Sahara, and the magical girl team . ]

"Move out," Clyde said flatly . He placed his hand on Clare's shoulder . "Good luck . We're counting on you . "

Clare smiled .

"Thanks . "

"Just a head's up," Tear said . "My succubus network just told me that the guards in the skysc.r.a.per and around the magical circles have doubled . They've also discovered the disabled one, but Nattie shattered it really good . "

"Saw that one coming," Clyde said . "By the way, what's the progress on your newest recruit? That dark priest chick?"

"Saki is doing well, actually," Tear said . "She was a bit of a pain in the a.s.s at first, but the girls taught her well . "

Clyde nodded then set the teams out . It was raiding time .

[Objectives: 1 . Deactivate the demon lord's barrier . 2 . End the demon lord's reign . 3 . Secure the Omen's sphere . ]

Why didn't this feel quite right? The young man wondered if he could get a word in to the demon lord…Forget about them being demons and just talk . He kept picturing that peaceful expression . Was the missing human thing really on her? Well, with the raid in session and the system demanding blood—just like it did for Natalia—he'd have to come up with a secret plan .

"Alice . " He gave her an innocent smile .

"Love, I don't like that look . What are you planning?" Alice said .

"I have a task for you," he said . "After all, you and this Necro have quite a bit in common . " His life mate's eyes widened . There was a gleam in Clyde's eyes . "I'm counting you on, my heart . " He kissed Alice .
