The central region of the Emerson Business District within the Filomena Nobility Academy located at the northern campus of Olsylvia Academy.
At the perimeter of the Rose Society’s Hausmann Hotel, Lolita was walking around with a small parasol in hand. She already had a pile of men in black lying at her feet.
“Come out, you can’t hide from me, not with your clumsy invisibility magic.”
Lolita had just finished her sentence when five to six men in black instantly appeared and surrounded her. By the looks of it, they were probably using some form of stealth magic.
Those men in black never expected this loli to be so terrifyingly powerful. When they attempted to escape, they realized that they had been rendered immobile. A look of disbelief was frozen on their faces as their world gradually turned to dust in front of their eyes.
The group of men in black were reduced to ashes on the spot. Lolita gently turned the little parasol in her hand and the men vanished without a trace.
“I knew it, that annoying girl came to find Mistress Bella again. Seriously, it’s been so long. Why are they still harboring such deep feelings for her?”
Lolita mumbled to herself as she walked. Along the way, she continued to dodge the attacks from more men in black who remained under cover and eventually those men had been turned to dust by her devastating energy. Fortunately for the guards of the Hausmann Hotel, they had been sent inside earlier and managed to avoid the barrage of attacks by the men in black.
With Lolita’s arrival, the men in black’s plan to attack had failed. Seeing as his team was unable to take down this horrifying loli, the captain of the men in black sent out an order for them to retreat. However, before he could complete his command, a small hand appeared behind him and grabbed his neck.
The unfortunate captain got sucked dry and within moments, he had become a shriveled corpse. As the girl’s hands were about to retreat into the interdimensional wall, Lolita appeared in front of her. In one fluid motion, Lolita’s hands cut through the air and landed a blow on the other girl’s hands.
Within that fleeting moment of contact, Lolita’s devastating energy collided with the other girl’s devouring energy. In the end, the other pair of small hands eventually disappeared. Lolita did not escape unscathed either as a few fresh wounds appeared on her hand.
During that short confrontation, neither of them emerged victorious. However, it was clear that the other party would not disturb Bella for now. Once she ensured that there were no enemies in the Hausmann Hotel’s vicinity, Lolita strolled leisurely back into the hotel. Since she had the Rose Society’s insignia on her arm, she was able to enter easily without being stopped by any of the guards.
Inside the Hausmann Hotel’s luxury suite, Bella had the First Generation Light Pope Goldsmith wrapped in her arms. Although Goldsmith was a Pope, she had been stuck in the body of a sixteen year old beautiful maiden since she had been attacked by the Second Generation Light Pope Aesop ten thousand years ago. Being inexperienced, she was clearly no match for someone like Bella!
At this moment, Goldsmith was pinned under Bella while the other girl explored her body. Initially, she had thought that her own light would be tainted black when she came into contact with a Demon King. However, she did not expect that Bella’s power was different from the other Demon Kings and was able to ignore the Goddess of Light’s blessing on Goldsmith’s body.
“Goldsmith, I’m impressed. I never thought that you would... you could possibly hold on for that long. In fact, you held on much longer than Cynthia. If you weren’t a Holy Swordsman...”
“Stop saying that, they will hear you. What do you plan to do with... stop kissing me, let me finish what I have to say...”
“What else do you need to say, hasn’t everything been decided already? Goldsmith, from now on, you are mine. You will be my personal priest...”
Dominantly, Bella carried Goldsmith to the edge of the dining table and fed her in an intimate manner – using her mouth. Goldsmith had been getting her sustenance from the Light’s energy and had not eaten anything for the past ten thousand years. Looking at the food in front of her, she could not resist it and could only allow Bella to have her way.
“Demon King, if you continue to do this, the Goddess of Light will... wuuu...”
“Will what? Pay attention while you’re eating. Also, my name is Bella, and from now on, I am your mistress.”
Goldsmith’s resistance was futile as Bella continued to stuff her mouth with all sorts of delicacies. Once Bella realized that Goldsmith was going to reason with her, she immediately used all sorts of evil ways to cause her to whine until she could not say another word. After some time, Goldsmith gave in.
When Bella commanded her to call her mistress, Goldsmith was so embarrassed that she turned beet red. She looked around frantically. After making sure that President Maria and the others were still asleep, Goldsmith finally approached Bella and obediently called her “Mistress”.
Other than Bella, the other Light Pope Roxanne was the only person who knew that Goldsmith had given in. She had no choice. Bella and Goldsmith had been intimate near her fake coffin and Roxanne could hear Goldsmith’s voice clearly.
Since the First Generation Light Pope had already surrendered, then there was no point for her to hold on either. Goldsmith had always been Roxanne’s role model. When she heard her “idol’s” pleas of surrender, Roxanne had been rendered momentarily speechless. There was nothing she could say to express what she was feeling.
When Roxanne regained consciousness, she realized that she had been moved by Bella. In addition, the replica of the Ancient Egyptian God of Death Anubis’ coffin had been taken away as well.
The cooling sensation all over her body brought her back down to reality. Bella had removed the white bindings on her body. Since this was Bella’s territory, it was not necessary for Roxanne and the others to remain disguised as fake mummies.
The entire room was thick with an amorous atmosphere. This caused the normally calm Roxanne to be unable to control her own emotions. There were beautiful girls everywhere inside this room who were wrapped around each other. The most shocking thing was that the First Generation Light Pope Goldsmith had already fully surrendered to Bella, that Demon King.
When Roxanne looked up, Goldsmith and Bella had just finished making out and their lips had barely separated. Goldsmith was completely lost in her blissful reverie while she continued to act intimately with Bella and had already forgotten about her ardent fan.
“What have you done to the First Generation Pope Goldsmith? Your Grace, please snap out of it, don’t let that demon...”
“Be quiet, it wouldn’t be good if you disturbed the others...”
Bella picked up a piece of fruit from the plate and stuffed it into Roxanne’s mouth. Right now, the Fifth Generation Light Pope could only watch as Bella and Goldsmith continued to make out with each other. Taking into consideration that she was cursed and had ugly black markings all over her body, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief at the fact that Bella might not be interested in her at all.
Her slight movement did not escape Bella’s eyes. Did that silly girl really think that she would not dare to do anything to her? How naive. Bella walked up to Roxanne and looked carefully at the cursed markings that remained on her body. There must be a way to break the curse.
“What are you looking at, Demon King? I’m so ugly... there’s no way that I would suit your taste. Don’t you...”
“Roxanne, call me Bella. Do you dare to have a bet with me? If I am able to remove the cursed energy from your body, you shall become my personal priest, just like Goldsmith.”
“As for your appearance, don’t try to lie to me. You’re clearly a beauty, yet you’re masquerading as an ugly woman. Roxanne, would you dare to swear on the Goddess of Light that you are not lying about your appearance...”
Roxanne was stumped. She had nothing else to say. Although she knew what Bella was saying had logical fallacies, Roxanne could not refute any of it. Roxanne was not ugly at all. In fact, based on the Radiant Church’s records of herself, Roxanne was only slightly less pretty than the First Generation Light Pope Goldsmith. Her looks were actually on par with the Holy Swordsman Cynthia, who the Church claimed was the most beautiful maiden of the century.
As Roxanne turned her head and refused to look her in the eye, Bella knew that she was feeling guilty and did not dare to enter into such a bet. Instead, she chose to remain silent and avoided Bella’s pointed questions.
“Fine, I’ll take your silence as consent then. Goldsmith shall be our witness for this wager. That’s it...!”
“Bella, you... you despicable... I didn’t agree to...”
Once again, Bella stuffed food into Roxanne’s delicate mouth, preventing her from saying anything else. She then bound Roxanne’s hands and feet before placing her on the large bed. Watching Bella walk away, Roxanne did not know whether to laugh or cry. How could anyone be so shameless? She did not even have a chance to voice her opinion before the other girl forced her consent on her.
Bella had placed Roxanne and Goldsmith inside the suite’s secret room. After all, they were Popes and their feelings should be taken into consideration too. At the moment, it was not appropriate for President Maria and the others to know about their existence. Once there was a suitable opportunity, Bella would consider letting them meet.
Finally, Lolita appeared inside Bella’s luxury suite. She decided to not tell her about taking down the men in black. In her eyes, those men were insignificant and not worth mentioning.
“This curse’s energy existed for ten thousand years and has already merged with this pretty sister’s body. If we really want to exorcise it... the only way to do it is to ask that annoying girl to use her power to suck all that cursed energy out. Otherwise, any other method would be too...”
Lolita glanced over at the cursed markings on Pope Roxanne’s body and gave her honest opinion. Somehow, she did not mention who that annoying girl was and was not willing to reveal her name either. However, Lolita expressed that she would find a way to locate her. Bella decided not to pursue it any further either. In addition, as Lolita had used her sleeve to hide her wound, Bella did not notice that she was injured at all.
Although Bella was sorely tempted to remain in the Hausmann Hotel to indulge in a day of debauchery and pleasure with the Holy Maidens, she knew that she had other things to take care of. She had no choice but to change into a formal outfit and left with Lolita. Bella had left the Demon World Princess Diaz and Succubus Queen Aisha in charge of taking care of those girls.
It seemed a little ridiculous that the Radiant Church’s Holy Maidens and Holy Swordsman would be taken care of by the Demon World Princess and the Succubus Queen as both camps were basically enemies. However, if Bella did not think that it was a problem, it was not going to be a problem as her word was the only one that mattered around here.
It was noon and the sweltering heat could be felt throughout Olyslvia Academy’s campus. There were students everywhere. The students in this Other World did not prioritize afternoon breaks and cared more about the time they could spend sleeping at night.
Bella and Lolita traveled to Benedict Manor. As a representative from the Rose Society, Bella planned to pay a visit to her partner, the Moon Elven Princess, to check on the progress of the project.
The Benedict Manor was located within Filomena Nobility Academy at Olsylvia Academy’s northern campus. Since it was recorded within Olsylvia Academy’s Midnight Unbelievable Tales, due to various reasons, the academy’s management did not set up any teleportation arrays here. Anyone who wished to visit the place would either have to walk or to use one of the academy’s horse drawn carriages.
Bella preferred to walk. Despite the fact that carriages provided by the academy could be rented just like the short term rental cars in her previous world, they were too tightly sealed. This would not have been a problem in winter. However, in this weather, it would not be surprising if the heat killed them instead. Those carriages were comparable to a vacuum sealed can from the previous world.
Along the way, Bella and Lolita met many students from Olsylvia Academy who were sweating profusely, regardless of their gender. The main issue was that their uniform was too stiff and unyielding. The conservative design of the uniforms meant that they were not well ventilated and were not suitable for this weather at all.
Fortunately for Bella, even though Lolita was wearing a gothic loli outfit which looked thick and heavy, she had an eerily cold aura. It was the best way to lower temperatures in this annoying heat. Moreover, Bella had never seen Lolita sweat at all, not even a single drop. If not for Lolita’s strength, she would have already picked her up in her arms.
“Sis... Older Sister Bella, I finally get to see you. Noreya mentioned that you were rather busy as you had just bought a hotel outside so I didn’t bother you.”
Along the way, Bella bumped into her younger sister Lisha and “official girlfriend” Kriss, who had been out looking for her. Kriss was holding onto Lisha’s hand as though she was her little sister. To be honest, who wouldn’t enjoy the company of a little girl like that? Princess Khalifa, Kriss’ younger sister, had already grown up and had grown out of that loli-type figure. It would be rather difficult for them to hold hands like that right now.
Once they met, Bella continued to move towards her destination. This time, Bella had one girl in each hand. If Lisha were even smaller, they would probably give off the illusion that they were “one happy family”. At this moment, she was holding her younger sister and her wife’s hand, which meant that she could be considered a “winner in life”.
This was not the first time that Bella strolled around Olsylvia Academy with a girl or two in her hand. In fact, she had done that many times with her “girlfriend”, Kriss. The students had already gotten used to it and simply shrugged it off and went on their way. To them, it was normal.
One day, if Bella were to have some handsome boy on her arm, the entirety of Olsylvia Academy would probably implode. Along the way, many of the boys gave them a wide berth. After all, Bella was considered to be rather famous within Olsylvia Academy.
Initially, Bella thought that the Seed of Life would need some time before it would germinate and form roots. However, as she approached the vicinity of the Benedict Manor, she realized that she could not have been more wrong. Even from a distance, she could see a giant tree that seemed to be more than twenty meters in height.
This Tree of Life was too incredible, to be able to reach this height within just a few days. Based on its trajectory of growth, there was a possibility that one day, this tree would breach the skies.
To Bella, the Tree of Life looked almost like the Dark Elves’ Tree of Life in those games in her previous world. The only difference was that there was no face on the tree. Master Craftsman Steve, who was in charge of the remodel, was an absolute genius. He managed to estimate the width of the Tree of Life even before seeing it in person.
The Moon Elves’ new Elven Tavern was built on this very tree. There was a large hole in the middle of the tavern that allowed the tree to grow freely. To be accurate, the new Elven Tavern was built around the Tree of Life. Even if the tree continued to grow, the tavern could still continue to remain.
The Tree of Life came with a natural growth array. For a long time, the region of the Benedict Manor had been filled with the stench of barren desolation. However, it had now turned into a forest region. Within the span of a few days, lush greenery could be seen sprouting everywhere. As this new tavern was a partnership, the flags from both sides were flown at its perimeter.
The Red Rose Flag that represented the Rose Society and the Full Moon Flag that represented the Moonlight Society were placed prominently around the tavern. Within Alessandra Academy For Foreign Races, students were able to form and organize their own individual societies, just like their human counterparts. The Moon Elf Princess Delias was also the chairman of the Moonlight Society, which was one of the many Elven societies in Alessandra Academy.
As the Elven societies only fought for themselves, they had no sense of camaraderie. They could not even compare to how united the Fairy Race was, and they were related. Princess Delias had contemplated for ages before agreeing to enter into a partnership with Bella’s Rose Society. The Moon Elves were the majority in the Elven Race, which meant that they had the most number of students who attended Alessandra Academy.
The Elven Princess Delias seemed to be determined to see this partnership through and had transferred every member of her Moonlight Society over to the new tavern. Bella was secretly delighted at her decision as the members of the Moonlight Society were all female – there was not a male elf in sight.
According to the Elven Princess Delias, the Moonlight Society was currently divided. The male Moon Elven had left and created their own society as they were unhappy with Delias’ management style. Now, Bella did not even have to come up with a way to “request” them to leave anymore.
