Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey

After eating the dinner, Nero turned to the girls and asked, "So, who is coming for the night?"

"Me! Me!" Emilia raised her hand and jumped.

Nero knitted his brows and uttered, "I wasn't asking you. I was asking them."

"You are not tired after… doing it for the entire day?" Asteria asked.

"Nope. I don't feel fatigued."

Sophia nudged Asteria and said, "You should go. It's been three days since your alone night with him, right?"

"Umm…" Asteria averted her gaze and muttered, "I gave him morning service, so I am sated."

"That was yesterday, though."

Asteria averted her gaze even more and muttered, "I did it today too."

Sophia raised her brows and asked, "Today when?"

Asteria averted her face and answered, "Today morning. When I came to wake Zeus, I saw his naked body, and the cabin was full of his milk's scent."

"So when I woke him up, I asked him to… you know. And then we did it."

"On the bed?" Sophia asked.

Asteria nodded.

"You two did it when I was sleeping on the bed beside you?"

Asteria nodded twice.

"Wow!"

"I knew it, though," Emilia remarked. "Apparently, she thought washing herself up and wearing new clothes would save her, but she underestimates my 'Nero detector'."

Nero sighed and walked to his cabin after saying, "Once you have decided, come to my cabin."

Nero entered his cabin and waited for either Sophia or Asteria to come.

'Who will come?' he wondered.

'I did it with Sophi last night, so I think she will send Asteria.'

CREAK~

Nero turned to the door, hoping to see either Sophia or Asteria, but he was shocked after seeing the black hair and blue eyes.

"Emilia? I am surprised they let you come," Nero sneered.

Emilia closed the door behind her and walked to Nero while staring intensely into his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Nero asked.

"They had to let me come, "she said.

"Oh? What did you bribe them?" Nero asked with a curious look on his face.

"Nothing. I just ordered them that I will be spending the night with you, and they let me come."

Nero raised his brows and uttered, "There is no way that's possible. Asteria is still new to the harem, so she might not oppose you, but there is no way you can win against Sophi."

Emilia sighed and wrapped her hands around Nero's neck before saying, "I am the Queen of your harem, so they must obey me."

"And why is that?"

"Because neither Sophia nor Asteria can win against me," Emilia answered.

"Is that so?"

Emilia moved her face closer to Nero's face to kiss him, but as their lips were about to touch, Nero pushed her back and uttered, "I think that's enough, Sophi."

Sophia had tasted Emilia's saliva when she kissed her in the underwater ruins, so she could change her form to Emilia any time she wanted.

She clicked her tongue and asked, "How did you know I was Sophia? My acting was perfect."

"Your acting was perfect, and I was fooled, completely."

"Then how did you figure it out?" Sophia asked curiously.

Whenever Sophia changed her form; her voice, body structure, powers, weakness, allergies— everything except feelings, changed to the person she was transformed into. So it was impossible, even for Nero, to know or figure out.

"Everything was the same as Emilia, but you made one mistake." Nero furrowed his brows and asserted, "Emilia may call herself the Queen of my harem, but she never claims to be superior or inferior to any of you."

Sophia sighed and shrugged her shoulders after saying, "I can't believe I blew it. I was so close!"

"Why did you change into Emilia anyway?"

"I was thinking of doing it with you in Emilia's form and fool you into thinking I was Emilia. Then later, after some rounds, I was planning to tell you and see your reaction. But.."

"Eff for you."

"Well, we can still do it, right?"

"No. I can't do it with you when you are in Emilia's form," Nero replied with a serious look on his face.

"Why not? I mean…" Sophia squirmed and continued, "You know I am Sophia inside. I simply want to experience how Emilia feels, nothing else."

"First of all, change to your angel form. It feels weird seeing Emilia squirming like this."

Sophia changed to her angel form and sat on the bed with a disappointed look on her face.

Nero sat beside her and said, "The Sophi I know never tries to take someone's place."

"I am not trying to take her—"

"I know." Nero hugged Sophia and uttered, "And that's why I am stopping you."

"I don't understand," she muttered.

"I have said this before, but when I first laid my eyes on you when I was six years old, I was charmed by your beauty. I never knew we would become friends, and our relationship would turn like this."

Sophia bit her lips and listened to Nero.

"But I am glad it did. I am glad you are here, with me. If it weren't for you, I would have lost to myself and my powers a long time ago. And that's why, I am glad."

"..."

"You were always proud of your beauty and your angel form, but you changed your form various times for my needs. I don't want you to do that anymore; I don't want you to hate your angel form."

Nero and Sophia stared into each others' eyes as their faces got closer.

He placed his hands on her shoulders and moved his lips closer to hers. While Sophia closed her eyes and puckered her lips to receive a kiss from Nero. 

The distance between their lips decreased as they both lost their sense of time. But just when their lips were about to touch, someone banged loudly on the door, and they were back to their senses.

Nero immediately stood up and went to open the door with just one thought in his mind: 'I am glad they banged on the door. Otherwise, I would have totally kissed Sophi in her angel form.'

He sighed and opened the door while uttering inwardly: 'What is wrong with me? Even though I knew what would happen if I kissed her, I still couldn't stop myself.'

"Nero!" Emilia pulled Nero out of his cabin and pointed her finger in the distance, saying, "We have reached the continent."
