[Day 43]

Today I woke up barely breathing, Nesiphae had her entire body over me, we really need a new bed.

I quickly took a bath and went towards the Crafting Team Headquarters and asked Chokunin to make me a new bed of at least double the size of my current one. The energetic Monkey gave me a thumbs-up as he told me that it would be done by the end of the day. He's a very reliable guy, I give you that.

Afterward, I wandered around the castle and went towards Kusuri and Kajiya Workshop. I found the two monkeys diligently working on their own works. Kusuri was experimenting with new accessories that could contain more spells while Kajiya was crafting a new armor set. Both of them have increased their mastery in their areas incredibly fast.

I gave Kusuri two samples of each Potion that I obtained inside the dungeon. He was amazed by each one, saying that they were actually [Relics] and were naturally stronger than a crafted Potion. When he saw the powerful aura of the [Rainbow Elixir], he almost fainted.

"T-This is a Potion made by the Gods themselves! W-Will I ever be able to replicate such thing?! Such the thought of trying to is getting me excited! Oooh! Thanks, Master Kireina!"

To Kajiya, I gave several of my [Unique] weapons and armors that we found on the dungeon on chests or in the reward gift themselves. Her strongest weapon yet was only of [Rare++], so a series of Unique+ weapons and armors made her almost faint. The difference was too wide on her eyes, as she began to understand the long path she had ahead. I also showed her one of my [Legendary] weapons, after looking at such aura and power, Kajiya fainted right at that moment.

I used my [Lovely Boost: All Heal] to recover her from this, but she fainted just after waking up and seeing the weapon again…

Before leaving, the countless monkeys and other workers on the workshop began to gift me weapons and armor of different sizes and shapes. It seems that this is because of a "contest" I made long ago, I already forgot about that…

Anyways, I decided on the three winners who made the best weapons and armor, as a reward, I gave them all a name. And someone asked for a hug, I don't know why.

In first place was a burly and black colored monkey that made a fantastic long sword with a beautiful dark luster and decorations. The sword was named [Abaddon] and it didn't even look like an actual [Rare++] weapon at all. I named this monkey Gizo (Forgery).

The second place was a muscular Goblin that ended up evolving into a Hobgoblin Blacksmith. He gave me a beautiful pair of red crimson daggers named [Crimson Roses]. I named him Enjo (Blaze).

The third place was a tall Troll that evolved into a Half Forger Oni, he had a deep red skin and powerful muscles. He gave me a powerful and sturdy shield named [Thunderstorm Wall]. I named the him Yakin (Metallurgy).

I also took everyone else weapons that they worked so hard and ended up thanking everyone with hugs, most of them seemed to have a big crush with me, so with only a hug, they were rather happy. A brave Hobgoblin grabbed my ass and I punished him with a powerful [Confusing Glare], he will have horrible hallucinations for the rest of the day. After seeing this, I hope no one tries to do this again with their Empress.

Because these Swords and Armors were made of precious materials and had some magic infused in them, I used them to feed the equipment I obtained on the dungeon. Triggering the first [Self Evolution] of my [Poisonous Mistress] Armored Glove and [Shadow Rose Chest Plate]. Although they didn't change in appearance, their stats increased by around +10 and became sturdier. I wonder if I would be able to evolve them into [Legendary] equipment one day by myself.

I also quickly ate the [Abaddon Long Sword], [Crimson Roses Daggers] and [Thundering Wall Shield] and obtained them as Skills. Like this, I will be able to evolve and fuse them in the future.

[You learned the following Skills]

[Weapon Summoning Magic: Abaddon Long Sword]

[Weapon Summoning Magic: Crimson Roses Daggers]

[Weapon Summoning Magic: Thundering Wall Shield]

Having this settled, I went back to my room to wake up my wives. On the way, a beautiful pink colored Arachne Maid greeted me. She told me that she was the Maid that always served me in my room, alongside her sister that wasn't here right now.

While talking with her, I recognized her voice, she used to be the smallest Hairy Spider, after evolving, she became a [Jumping Spider Arachne Variant] and obtained a beautiful petite body alongside pink twin tails as hair. Her spider body also became deep pink, and her agility increased considerably. She was quite the beauty, and always looked at me with a blushed face, it really made me want to take her for me. But I must resist… It's too soon to take another girl.

I only patted her and gave her a name for now. Because of her beautiful pink colors, I named her Sakura, as she reminded me of the Sakura Trees Flowers from Earth.

"T-Thank you very much, Master!"

.

.

.

As always, I ended up taking a bath with my wives again, as we washed each other backs, things got out of proportion once again, so we ended up doing love on the warm bathroom.

Phew…

Anyways, after that, we went to have a nice breakfast full of delicious preparations that I missed quite a lot. Chokumotsu cuisine is a hundred times better than mine.

Afterward, I kidnaped Redgaria and went with my wives to the Castle Underground, some humans are patiently waiting to be interrogated.

Redharia looked at me with a tired expression.

"Why do I have to go too? Isn't this your Kingdom issue? Leave me alone…"

"Well, you are a human too, aren't you?"

"Ah! Hahaha! I guess? Sometimes I don't even remember my name"

"Sigh…"

The interrogations went smoothly as I used my powerful Charming and Hypnosis abilities to make all the humans spill out even their most inner secrets. From this, I discovered that the Archer Girl likes to wear cute animal panties… Wait, that's not the important issue here… Oh, and the amazon is a virgin… I'm going off-topic again?

Anyways, from the human information. All these adventurers come from the closest town named "Orange Town". This town was founded long ago by farmers that wanted to live outside of the big Kingdom. After many years, the town grew considerably large and even got their own Guild Building, were adventurers would gather and take different requests from the townsfolk, like killing certain monsters or subjugating an infested cave.

The Kingdom I was talking about is named Athetosea, after the founder of the same name. This Kingdom isn't really one, as it was founded by a big group of merchants in the past. So, it's more like a "City" of sorts. According to the Humans, the Kingdom is incredibly large and possesses around three hundred thousand people, and the population keeps growing by the day.

The Athetosea Kingdom is ruled by a big family of Noble Merchants who are incredibly proficient on profiting from anything, maintaining the Kingdom on a very good economy for hundred of years. The Kingdom is also incredibly advanced and has a clean water system and magic propelled technology.

Any human that lives in small towns or villages dreams for someday to be able to live in this city. And this was the main goal of these adventurers. They all became adventurers to gain riches and save their poor families, well most of them. The amazon Beauty is just exploring the world and looking for a strong partner to be with. While the Blonde Boy comes from a noble family and became an adventurer to gain fame for himself. The rest are mostly peasants that wanted money.

According to the Archer Beauty, the Guild in Orange Town has begun to set countless subjugation quest on the Grand Forest, as the nobles that live in there started to fear a "Monster Wave", due to the recent commotions from the latest wars I had with Redgaria. This Forest used to be a place for adventurers to train and encounter riches on the several dungeons around. But recently, because of the boost in strength and the unification of the intelligent monsters, the humans fear that we might start to conquer their towns and directly attack them.

There will probably be even more humans coming the next days, and if they start to notice that the adventurers they sent never come back, they will just keep sending more and more, until the whole Kingdom bring its army to destroy this place.

These are bad news…

What's peculiar about this continent is that even when it's so massive, it only possesses three Human Kingdoms. The rest are just small towns or villages, and even wild human tribes like the Amazon or the Vast Plains Nomads.

The remaining continent is occupied by countless demi-human races and strong monster families. The biggest number of humans inhabit the two central continents. This place possesses more than ten different Kingdoms who are in constants disputes and wars. So, this continent is rather peaceful in comparison.

The Athetosea Kingdom is not completely defenseless, as it possesses a powerful army full of experienced soldiers with countless talents and high levels. The most powerful non-hero humans are the [Five Radiant Champions] alongside the [Ten Elemental Knights]. All of them are incredibly powerful and possess demi-god and god blessings. They are the pillar of the Kingdom and keep all the other demi-humans or human kingdoms at bay.

There are also the [Five Noble Heroes], who are heroes chosen by the gods themselves when given birth. I can already assume that they possess the [Epic] Skills and will hunt me down in the future.

From the three Kingdoms that inhabit this continent, this Kingdom as the least Heroes, only having a single Hero, the [Hero of Raging Winds]. This man has been the one responsible for enslaving the demi-human tribes so easily. Even when demi-humans are usually far stronger than humans, due to his natural power as a Hero, he can easily enslave and gift them to different Noble Slave Sellers.

I would like to kill this bastard and obtain his power. I hope I can obtain his blessing. Would Hero meat be as tasty as Emperor Class Monsters? Maybe even tastier.

The two central continents possess another batch of Heroes named [Eight Heroes of Salvation], they are all spread through different Kingdom and it said they can wipe an entire nation by themselves.

Because this continent resembles a big ring made of landmass that surrounds the ocean, the other two human kingdoms are too far away to actually care about them for now. According to the humans, the other kingdoms are the Azuma Empire and the Thanatos Kingdom

There have been some internal disputes on the Athetosea Kingdom, some Noble families are fighting for the power of the Kingdom and riches, dividing the Kingdom in two sides, there are even hints of a rebellion being slowly planned. Whoever gets the most help from the [Fire Radiant Champions] and [Ten Elemental Knights] will most likely win.

This war actually benefits me, I could use my power to intervene on the power balancing, and even kill some Champions and Elemental Knights on the process…

I assumed that if things continue as they are, the Kingdom may stop sending adventurers towards the Forest if they are going into a war because they would need the strength elsewhere. But this still needs confirmation. I will send Flesh and Slime Minions everywhere, even on the Nobles houses. I want them to spy the entire place and tell me every little secret.

After the interrogation was over, I slowly deactivated my Charm and Hypnosis magic, which manifested itself as a pink cloud on the head on the humans.

They quickly feel on the table completely asleep.

Redgaria looked at me with a serious expression.

"Now what are you going to do?"

I began to think for a little as I admired my wives, they seemed worried about our people's safety over the humans impending menace.

"First of all, I will begin preparations and increase the safety of our Forest… There is a lot to do. I will worry about the Kingdom dispute in the future. My people are first"

Redgaria smiled.

"Hmmph. Well said! I couldn't expect less from such a benevolent Master! Bwahaha!"

"Shut up…"
