Chapter 1118: Teasing Them With This Might Become A Habit
“Girls, relax,” I told them after I finally managed to get them to calm down.
Lisa shook my shoulders, “Calm down?! Aster! You don’t understand!! This is Goddess Srii!! The Goddess of Death!! Didn’t you mention something about this Goddess hating Off-Worlders as well?! She would kill anyone who slights her for anything she deems offensive to her!! And no one is even sure what exactly offends her!”
Delmare also nodded beside her, “I heard the stories too, Aster!! They say that she’s one of the Gods who you should never meet and if you do, it means you are going to die soon!”
Sister Rolia puffed her cheeks at me, “Didn’t you say that you would be careful, Aster? Why did you forget that so quickly? That’s not like you at all!”
Emilia, however, was looking at Odeta instead, “Why are you laughing like that?”
“Wahahaha!! Because… Because… Ahahahaha!!”
She’s laughing so much that she couldn’t even explain why without just breaking into laughter again…
So cute.
Ahem… Alright, alright, I guess I should just explain to the others too.
“Girls… I actually met with goddess Srii earlier and… Eh?”
I realised that the moment I said I met the goddess, all of their faces fell like I had just told them I was breaking up with them or something.
Lisa started biting her thumb, “Do we… Do we have enough power to fight a God? Can we even fight a God?”
Emilia started pacing around the room, “If I utilise all my contacts… How many of them have the resources and power to stand up to a Goddess?”
Delmare clasped her hands together in prayer, “Oh Goddess… Please… If a life has to be taken, please take mine instead…”
Ok girls, I love you all very much but please calm down now. Even if Srii wants to kill me, please don’t sacrifice yourselves to take my place, ok?
I cleared my throat to get their attention, “Ahem… Err… There’s no need for all of you to worry, ok? I actually had a good talk with the goddess and we became friends. In fact, she allowed me to just call her by her name without any honourifics.”
All of the girls stared at me while Odeta started laughing while rolling on the floor.
They then looked at each other for a moment before shrugging at the same time and saying the exact same thing.
“As expected of Aster.”
Hmph, you can say that now after I explained it to you but all of you were preparing to fight a goddess or sacrifice yourselves to her…
Lisa immediately switched gears and leaned towards me while wiggling her eyebrows suggestively, “So… Did you fuck her?”
I sighed, finding it ironic that Hiandoca also tried to ask me to do that.
“No, I didn’t, we just became friends and that’s it.”
Yeah… I probably shouldn’t tell them that she tried to propose to me as well.
Putting that aside…
“Anyway, we’re assaulting an illegal slavery group’s base tonight so be ready for it. Carrey’s still staking out the place and she already told us that they would be moving a group of slaves tonight so as long as we watch out for them, everyone else should be an illegal slaver.”
Emilia immediately raised her hand, “Oh, oh!! Boss! Boss!!”
I turned to tilt my head at her quizzically, “What is it?”
“We can keep any loot that we found there, right? Any Creas that they might have there is ours for the taking, right?”
I turned back to look at Sister Rolia who made a face at me.
“Well… We would need to take everything they have as evidence and… Even the Creas would also count as evidence…”
Emilia let out a groan of disappointment.
Sister Rolia quickly added, “But, but, but! You know… Err… Since we wouldn’t know the exact amount of Creas they would have anyway… It wouldn’t really matter if some of it went ’missing’ as we are storming the place, you know?”
Gasp! Sister Rolia! Are you suggesting that we should do a little bit of crime ourselves? And this is coming from the City Lord of this city as well?
Count me in!
Hey, even if we take the money, we’ll be spending it anyway so it will still flow back to the people eventually and we would be helping the economy! That’s better than the Creas being confiscated and just left in some lockbox as evidence for who knows how long before it gets released back into circulation?
Emilia quickly recovered upon hearing that, “Ohhhh! I’ll make sure to get as much as possible without raising suspicion then!!”
Err… You do realise that you’re literally talking to the person in charge– You know what? Nevermind.
“So when are we setting off?” Odeta asked, cracking her knuckles.
“Well… She did say tonight…”
“Yeah but when exactly is that? Do we go when it’s completely dark or at sunset?”
Hmm… Good point… We know that the slavers are moving some of their slaves away so we have to be there before they actually manage to do that… It would be troublesome if we ended up going too late…
“Odeta raised her hand, “I got a great idea, Sister Aster!!”
“Hmm? What is it?”
She unfurled the map that Katsuki had shown me of their base and pointed at the area that indicated where the illegal slavers were operating.
“Since this is their turf… We might as well go and take out some of their members that might be patrolling around there! That should decrease the number of those illegal slavers we have to deal with when we finally raid their base, right?”
That… Actually sounds like a good idea? But…
“How would we know who is a member of that group though?” I pointed out.
“That’s simple! For groups like these, they definitely wouldn’t like it when they see someone else not from their group dealing in the same business in their territory! So we could just go there and pretend we’re doing that and they would just show up on their own!”
Huh… I turned to look at Odeta and used [Screened] on her.

Oh, so it really is Odeta. I almost thought that it was someone trying to pretend to be Odeta.
Ok, that was a little mean.
I looked at the other girls, “What do you all think about that?”
Emilia grinned, “We can ambush them and also rob them too! We can pocket that money without any issues, right?”
Unerolia nodded, “That shouldn’t be a problem. I’ll even mobilise some guards that I trust to round up any of these bastards that we’ve caught. Also, when we finally go and hit their base, they can also serve as a diversion to distract the people in that hideout!”
The other girls also nodded in agreement so I guess that settles it.
We decided that we would split up into a few smaller groups to make it look like we were just independent dealers that they could just deal with easily.
Lisa sat down on my lap while cuddling up against me, “So what about you, Aster? Who would you be grouping up with? I nominate myself so we can go to some really nice, private alley… And then I can just… Ehehe… Get under that skirt of yours and… Do a lot of things with my mouth~”
I flicked her on the forehead making my Infrid lover let out a yelp of pain.
“I’ll be going to the temple again so that I can ask Srii–”
Everyone in the room flinched before relaxing.
“– about a certain thing. There’s something I wanted to check with her.”
Oh wow, I was actually thinking that after I explained the circumstances to them, I wouldn’t be able to tease them with this anymore but apparently I still can~
Lisa perked up, “Oh! Are you going to meet with Goddess Hiandoca too?!”
“Err… I don’t think so?”
Emilia gave me a look, “Are you really sure that is a good idea, Boss? Would she… I don’t know… Demand some kind of sacrifice or something? Because I don’t think she would just appear just because you called her… No offense, Boss…”
Hmm… Hiandoca did need an ’offering’ from me to call her so maybe I… Oh no… Don’t tell me I have to go to the temple and masturbate before Srii would answer me?
Ugggh… This is going to be so embarrassing…
Maybe I should just take Lisa along with me after all…
