Olga's submission wasn't hard for Ryuji to accept, even if it came so simply and her attitude shifted so easily.
Because that's just how this world is.
He nodded, expressing his satisfaction with Olga's submission.
"Then go convince your guard. Make her obediently accept her fate. Also, write down all your abilities. By the way, explain whether your power can be replenished and how."
Ryuji's words startled Olga, but having chosen to submit, she nodded.
She thought submitting to Ryuji simply meant satisfying his desires. And that feeling she had experienced was indeed very pleasurable. Now, she even wanted to have another contest with Ryuji, letting him continue to satisfy her desires.
But she also knew that her top priority now was meeting Ryuji's demands.
"Yes."
After speaking, she intended to leave. But at that moment, Ryuji suddenly remembered something.
"Earlier, when we were in the sky, what did you see?"
He was very curious about this. His eyesight was so good, yet he couldn't see anything. While, this woman Olga could see something, which puzzled him.
"It's a special ability, Master. My fated enemy and I can see each other, and we both have special abilities. So in my race, some also think I am also one of the goddess's reincarnations. That's why earlier, I saw the scene where the so-called goddess-reincarnated high elf was captured by your subordinate, General Esdeath."
Olga found this explanation very unbelievable. Her power was something she painstakingly accumulated and trained. If it could be summarized with just a phrase like 'goddess reincarnation,' it would be the most insulting thing ever!
"Is that so..."
Ryuji wasn't too concerned about such things. There were many with special abilities in the world; and even if Olga had clairvoyance, it wouldn't be anything special.
"But you said Esdeath is coming back soon?"
"Yes, probably about half a day's journey away before she returns."
Olga quickly nodded, stating her judgment.
"Half a day..."
Ryuji looked at the sky, then patted Olga's buttocks.
"Go take a bath first. Roxanne, remember to prepare a collar for her so she can sit at my feet during council meetings."
His position for Olga was just that: a pet, a tool, and a female slave.
As for the brain-dead high elf or the so-called 'Reincarnation of the Goddess' from the original story, the white elf sow with astonishing wisdom, his thoughts were equally simple.
Also a pet, a tool, and a female slave.
There was no way around it; this one's thought process was bizarre beyond belief. Ryuji didn't want to be infected by her idiocy!
Ryuji stretched lazily. Although his desire was strong, he knew he had serious matters to attend to.
At worst, he could continue tonight.
After all, he had to welcome Esdeath back. Someone who could bring him new women deserved a proper welcome.
And things indeed were as Olga said. Not long after, Esdeath's cavalry arrived to report that Esdeath was swiftly approaching.
Ryuji could see all the ministers in the council hall were very nervous.
Because in this era of cold weapons, such a large army suddenly appearing near the royal city, with reports only arriving upon its arrival, likely meant they were here to force the king's abdication.
Considering Esdeath's record of destroying numerous kingdoms within a week, each minister was pondering whether today would see another change of banners.
But Ryuji knew Esdeath was simply too lazy to bother with such fancy stuff.
Things indeed went as he expected. When Ryuji led the ministers out to welcome her, Esdeath, who was at the forefront of the army, directly discarded the so-called army behind her, leaped towards Ryuji, throwing herself into his arms.
Her beautiful cheek rubbed again and again against Ryuji's chest. Esdeath greedily breathed in his scent, inhaling deeply, desperately trying to imprint it into herself, to make sure she would never forget it.
Only when she was finally satisfied did she lift her head, eyes shining with excitement. Like a hunting dog that had caught its prey and was eagerly waiting for its master's praise, she flashed him a wide grin.
"Ryuji! I'm back! Can you sleep with me now?!"
She blurted out exactly what she wanted the most, unable to hold it back.
"About that... I just did it with another girl earlier today, so not tonight."
Ryuji gently pinched Esdeath's nose and then kissed her cheek.
If she still wanted to become his woman at this point, then he had nothing left to hesitate about.
After all, if Esdeath truly had any ill intentions, she could have easily seized those kingdoms and marched an army straight against him.
But she hadn't.
Instead, she had returned… and was still asking sleep with him.
Although there was still a slight possibility, feeling Esdeath's body gradually warming up and seeing her flushed cheeks, Ryuji chose to believe her.
So, he kissed her on the cheek.
"Go wash up and change your clothes first. By the way, did you bring any gifts for me?"
Ryuji chuckled and brushed the dust off Esdeath, looking at the women and asking with a smile.
"Mhm! I brought you many lovely women! Though I nearly killed one of them, so I had to freeze her."
Esdeath snapped her fingers. The next moment, before the assembled army who were staring in disbelief at their fearsome general acting like an spoiled girl, Esdeath's subordinates quickly pushed forward several prison carts.
Looking at the women inside these carts, Ryuji couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Two of them looked young and petite: one a shrine maiden, the other from the half-dwarf race.
There was also a female knight with an troubled expression, doing her best to maintain her composure; a black-haired, black-eyed woman who looked Asian, covered in tattoos and who looked very listless.
And finally, a black-haired woman wearing something like a gymnast's outfit, her gaze sharp and alert but with a wound over her heart, which was why her entire body encased in ice.
The moment this black-haired woman appeared, Esdeath snapped her fingers again. The next moment, the ice block floated mid-air, carrying the woman within it, and floated directly in front of Ryuji.
"These are the gifts I brought you, Ryuji! This woman is incredibly strong. She has a special weapon and could match me in close-quarters combat!"
Esdeath spoke excitedly. If it were just her, she would have simply killed Chifuyu on the spot, since her heart had already been pierced.
But having been saved by Ryuji herself, she knew Ryuji could heal, so she froze Chifuyu's body, so that she could become part of Ryuji's harem!
However, before Ryuji could say anything, Esdeath, who was excited to show Ryuji how excellent the women she brought were, spoke again.
Esdeath patted the ice block beside her and pointed at Chifuyu's frozen body as she continued.
"Don't let her cold appearance fool you; she's actually the rigid type! Once you possess her, whether she likes it or not, she'll obey you completely. Everything she does will be for your sake."
Esdeath spoke with absolute confidence. In a high-level duel, you could gauge the other's personality and inclinations instantly. Of course, true understanding required time, but Esdeath had plenty of experience, her experience was richer because she had often rewarded people like Chifuyu to her subordinates, naturally giving her an understanding such women's nature!
"And even if you could have me today, I would suggest you to take her first."
Esdeath continued, saying even more shocking things and further damaging her image in everyone else's eyes.
"Oh? Why?"
Ryuji was somewhat curious. Esdeath's personality didn't seem the deferential type.
"Because her type is very similar to mine. So, once you gain experience with her, when it's my turn, you'll be more experienced and can use me better! I also want to see how you handle a woman like that, so I can learn how to serve you better afterward."
Esdeath was very serious. Although she already considered herself Ryuji's slave, Esdeath believed her bed combat prowess would be formidable. So, to help Ryuji have the ability to subdue her, she decided to let Ryuji first get accustomed to women of her 'model.'
More importantly, she wanted to see how Ryuji dealt with women of her body type to gain combat experience.
Ryuji couldn't help but look back and forth between Esdeath and Chifuyu's bodies and found that the two were indeed very similar, especially their figures, which were equally excellent!
However, compared to Esdeath, the woman frozen in ice had more of a mature, authoritative feeling.
But regarding Esdeath's thoughts, Ryuji didn't know what to say. Such ideas were just too shocking; he was at a loss for words.
"As long as you're happy..."
Upon hearing this, Esdeath happily hugged Ryuji's arm, wanting a kiss from him. Ryuji obliged, directly kissing her cheek, making Esdeath start grinning foolishly.
This scene directly put the surrounding ministers at ease, making them think Esdeath was ultimately just a woman who needed a man to keep her in check.
But honestly, without Esdeath, they would probably have died miserably because of such ideas.
After briefly comforting Esdeath, Ryuji ordered the ministers to settle the army, send the prisoners to his palace, and begin preparations for a victory banquet.
But at this moment, Ryuji couldn't help but examine Chifuyu's frozen body.
Her aura and appearance were undoubtedly excellent. As for her East Asian features, that wasn't an issue at all.
What made him pause was her clothing.
"Hmm... Do such clothes really exist in this world?"
Looking at Chifuyu's exposed thighs and the high-tech-looking bracelet on her wrist, Ryuji couldn't make sense of it. So, he looked at Esdeath, who hadn't let go of his left arm since seeing him, continuously pressing her ample breasts against him.
"Do you know her name?"
He was a little worried. If this woman, like Esdeath, turned out to be another one of his "teammates," things would get awkward.
After all, when anime characters come into reality, those with distinct features were easier to identify, but those without special characteristics were tricky.
As many anime characters' wore perfectly normal clothes with no clear identifiers.
"Hmm… I think she was called something like Charlotte?"
Esdeath scratched her head. She didn't have the habit of remembering defeated opponents' names. This name was mentioned by that female knight who couldn't even withstand a single move from her.
Honestly, she suspected it was a fake name, but who cares?
The person is right here; what she is called didn't matter, right?
"Charlotte?"
Ryuji rubbed his chin but couldn't recall a black-haired, black-eyed woman named Charlotte with such a great figure.
But he had to admit, he wouldn't let go of such a beautiful woman.
Not to mention how perfectly full, rounded thighs were perfect for black stockings, but also this dignified aura and subtle feeling constantly stirred his desire to conquer.
Most importantly, his current desires were truly getting hard to control. And most women in this world were sufficiently degraded, making Ryuji accustomed to disregarding their feelings.
After all, if a little 'servicing' could turn them into qualified sows, Ryuji found it hard to give them enough respect.
"As long as she's not one of our teammates, it's fine."
Ryuji said casually.
Esdeath couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. She thought about it and felt Ryuji's words made sense.
After all, teammates were important. But she thought: if a teammate couldn't even defeat her, what was the point of having such teammates?
Ryuji extended his hand. Red Dragon Fire instantly enveloped the ice, melting it away, while continuously using his flames to repair the wounds on her body.
On the ground, Chifuyu, feeling the burning sensation of the flames, opened her eyes. Seeing When she saw Ryuji and Esdeath standing beside him, she immediately understood that she had lost. Chifuyu didn't say anything, just sighed.
"It seems I've lost."
She steadied herself by holding her arm. Though she had survived, she knew her fate from here on would not be pleasant but she had already prepared herself mentally.
"That's right. If you don't obey, I'll kill your companions. And you should know this, given my master's abilities, even suicide wouldn't be an option for you, Charlotte. I think you know what you need to do, right? You've lived in this world long enough to understand what kind of treatment a woman like you would face."
Esdeath crouched down, looking straight at the woman who had managed to exchange blows with her and immediately threatened her.
Charlotte...
The corner of Chifuyu's mouth twitched. This was a false name, one she had adopted for safety reasons.
She went by Charlotte while Revy went by Jessica, names that were obviously fake at a glance. But looking at the smug Esdeath and Ryuji, who kept examining her body, Chifuyu let out a quiet sigh.
"I understand."
She needed to survive and return because her younger brother, Ichika, still needed her and her protection. So, no matter the cost, she had to complete her mission and return to her brother's side.
Only when her younger brother, Ichika Orimura, could take care of himself would she be able to accept her own death.
She slowly stood up and looked at Ryuji.
"Are you the one I'm meant to serve from now on?"
Chifuyu felt something strange stirring inside her. The thought of being touched by a man other than Ichika made her deeply uncomfortable. But in this world, she felt...
I think I'm starting to look forward to it?
she felt a faint, unsettling sense of anticipation.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she truly felt her bottom line seemed to have weakened considerably at this moment.
"…It seems I'm weaker than I thought."
Feeling her own emotions while awaiting Ryuji's response, Chifuyu couldn't help but mock herself.
"Yes, but you don't need to worry. I only need to marry women from various countries to bring peace to this world."
Seeing Chifuyu's righteous and dignified appearance, Ryuji instinctively chose the 'for the greater good' template.
"Perhaps. Then… do you want me to do it now?"
Chifuyu didn't particularly care anymore. To her, it was all the same.
"No."
Ryuji shook his head.
"I only take one girl's virginity per day."
