Unrivaled Demon's Odyssey

When Nero, Emilia, and Sophia made their way to the inn, it was already night.

Emilia was wearing new clothes as she wet the old ones, but since the new clothes were identical to the old ones, there was no way anyone would notice. And Sophia had changed her form to a random human girl.

When they stepped into the inn, Nero noticed some customers were eating and drinking.

"You are here!" The woman at the reception welcomed them with a happy smile on her face.

She then looked at Sophia with a puzzled look on her face, "Is she with you?"

Nero ignored the woman's question and said, "Where are our rooms?"

"You can take any room on the second floor."

Nero turned to the stairs and nudged Emilia and Sophia, "Let's go."

The woman looked at Nero dumbfounded, wondering why he seemed so lonely.

'What a weird person,' she thought.

Nero looked back at the woman and squinted his eyes.

'Did he hear me or what?' the woman panicked.

"Keep our dinner ready."

The woman nodded and went to the kitchen.

'What a weird woman,' Nero and the other made their way to the second floor and chose the last room in the hallway.

Nero carefully opened the door and glanced around. 'It's clean.' He walked to the bed and threw the bag in the corner of the room.

Nero patted the bed to see if there was any dust, but much to his surprise, it was clean.

'It's almost as if it was cleared a while ago.'

Nero's guess was correct. As soon as the woman dropped Nero and Emilia at the church, she rushed back to the inn and cleaned all the rooms on the second floor.

She had even prepared special food for them, and she was also planning to give some money to them for travel.

Nero laid down on the bed and sighed deeply. "It's been weeks since I laid on something soft."

"You used my body as a pillow, though," Emilia commented.

Whenever Nero and Emilia finished their night activity, he used to sleep on Emilia's thighs or breasts— the other reason for that Emilia had a habit of sleepwalking.

On their first night together, Nero woke up in the middle of the night because he couldn't sense Emilia, and Nero later found her sleeping on a tree. Ever since then, Nero never let go of Emilia while sleeping.

Emilia sat beside Nero and glanced at Sophia, who was standing in front of the bed.

"That woman… what do you think of my attitude with her?" Nero questioned.

"I think you are rude to her even though she is so kind," Emilia answered.

Nero grunted as he sat up on the bed and looked at Emilia as he shook his head, "You know nothing, Emilia snow."

Emilia gave Nero a confused glance, then frowned her face, "Who is snow? Is your last name snow?"

"I don't have the last name coz my parents never mentioned it."

Nero tried to pass a joke, but not only did it fail, he got struck by Emilia's comeback— even though Emilia herself had no idea.

Emilia then remembered the dream she had and started feeling guilty. 'He was only one year old at that time, so how would he know or understand anything. I hope he is not angry.'

Emilia had no idea that Nero could understand everything at that age too.

During the 24 days Emilia spent together with Nero, she got to know many things about him.

Emilia knew Nero got his past life memories back but didn't know when. Emilia also didn't know how his girlfriend killed Nero in his past life.

Nero exhaled sharply and then stood up as he stretched his arms, "Sophi, what do you think?"

Sophia folded her arms below her bosom and said with a straight face, "I think you were being a dick."

That was true, and Nero was aware of that, but that wasn't the answer Nero was expecting.

"Fine, I will answer myself. If someone takes advantage of one's kindness, then it's their fault to be kind. I was just trying to show this to that woman, but she seems to have a loose screw." Nero glanced at Sophia as she spoke, but she had no change in her expression.

"Come on, stop sulking now," Nero groaned.

"Hmm?" Emilia stood up and hugged Nero's arm, then glanced at Sophia with an innocent look on her face, "Sophia is angry?"

'This bitch!' Nero shrugged Emilia and glared at her.

Emilia was aware that Sophia was angry, and her innocent face was not so innocent. She learned to make that face whenever she wanted Nero to go rough on their sessions since she knew Nero hated her innocent face.

"I am not sulking, and I don't care about your sex slave. She is just fulfilling her duty," Sophia commented.

"But Nero," Sophia glared at Nero and frowned her face. "Do you know why I am in a bad mood?"

"Uhh…" Nero gulped down and said the first reason that came to his mind, "Because Emilia and I did 'it' in the church?"

Sophia's face twitched as she shouted, "It took you 24 days to summon me?!"

"Well…" Nero averted his gaze and uttered, "More time means more information."

Sophia glared at Nero for a while, then sighed as though all her anger had vanished with her sigh.

Nero cleared his throat and placed his hand on Sophia's shoulder. "Did you find any information?"

Sophia looked at Emilia and uttered, "I will be spending the night with Zeus— alone. So be an obedient slave and sleep in the next room."

"Sure," Emilia smirked. "I don't mind letting you spend a night with him."

Nero shook his head as he thought. 'I was hoping they would get along because they both are angels, but I guess… it will take some time before that happens.'

"So, Sophia. Tell me everything you know."

Sophia nodded and gestured to Nero to sit on the bed. "Are you ready?"

"Go ahead. Start with the main topic. How much time has passed, and what is the current state of the world."

"I planned to start from there, but before that," Sophia glanced at Emilia and bit her lips. "Did you know about it?"

"Know about what?" Emilia questioned with a confused— yet curious look on her face.

"She doesn't have any past memories, Sophi."

Sophia stared at Emilia as though she was still unsure, then sighed. "Nevermind then."

"Sophi?"

"Zeus, a lot more time has passed than we expected."

Nero frowned and asked with a serious look on his face, "How much?"

After a short silence, Sophia opened her mouth and uttered, "Eons"
