Chapter 1120: There’s Also Others From Other Worlds
Chapter 1120: There’s Also Others From Other Worlds
“Are you leaving already?” Srii asked with a tilt of her head.
“Eh? Ah… Yeah… I just came here to ask you that question because I didn’t want to be too presumptuous. But right now we’re dealing with a group of illegal slavers and we’re hunting down some of their members.”
“Hmm? Do you want me to kill them for you, Aster?”
“Err… Hypothetically speaking, not that I really want you to do it, but I’m just asking out of curiosity… What would happen if I said ’yes’?”
“Then I would just kill all of them right now. They would all perish.”
“Err… Then that’s fine. We’ll handle it on our own.”
“Mmm… I understand. Though there’s no need for you to do that.”
That got me confused, “Do what?”
“I understand this is something like a dowry right? I have no need for a dowry, Aster. In fact, shouldn’t I be the one giving you one?”
Dowry? Oh…
Just like how sexual fluids were offerings to Hiandoca, I guess the act of killing is like an offering to Srii?
I waved my hand in front of me, “Ah… Umm… I’m not doing this specifically for them to be offerings, Srii.”
“You’re not?”
“No, I’m not.”
“Hmm… I see.”
…
…
Err… Ok, I guess there’s no need to be worried about misunderstandings with her as long as you explain it properly so that’s good.
Anyway, I guess it’s time for me to–
“Wait a minuuuuttte!!”
Both of us turned to see Hiandoca popping into existence right beside us.
“How are the both of you still not fucking yet?! Didn’t I tell you to just go and do it already, Srii?!” The goddess cried out.
Srii tilted her head at her, “I’m doing it?”
“Just what did you think I mean when I told you to do it?!”
“Talk to Aster?”
“Oh by the Creator! I can’t with this woman!!”
I cleared my throat, “Ahem… Hiandoca? You said something about explaining something to me?”
She paused and turned to me with a raised eyebrow, “I did?”
Srii turned to her, “You told Aster that you would explain about the higher beings, Hiandoca.”
Hiandoca threw her hands up into the air and I realised she was just trying to avoid the topic by pretending she didn’t say that from the start but the plan was ruined by Srii.
I quickly interrupted, “Umm… If you don’t want to tell me or if it’s too big of a problem for me to know… You don’t need to tell me…”
Hiandoca sighed, “No, no… It’s ok… I just don’t like to spend time explaining stuff… I’d much prefer if you just bend me over and start fucking me instead. Actually, can you do that while I explain? That would make things much easier for me.”
“Err… Would this take long? Because I do have other commitments at the moment… Anyway, it’s not like it has anything to do with me right? So I don’t actually need to know?”
“Hmm… I suppose since Srii here is set on wanting to marry you… Ugghh… I’ll just give you the short version. There’s other Gods in this Universe.”
I tilted my head, “I know that already? That’s why our World was destroyed right? Because some gods were fighting? Is that what you wanted to tell me?”
Hiandoca let out a groan, “No… That’s not it… Ugghh… Whatever, I’ll just say it. Gods are also capable of having relationships ok? And I don’t want to sound like I’m bragging but the Gods of this World… Well… Let’s just say that we are much more attractive than the Gods of other Worlds. Understand now?”
I blinked for a moment as I had to take a moment to consider if what I thought was actually possible before finally opening my mouth slowly.
“You’re telling me… There are other gods trying to woo you?”
“Not just me, but the others too.”
“So… This was what you meant when you were talking about the higher beings thing?”
“Not exactly… It’s more like you might get involved in the Divines which could get really messy if you’re not careful…”
I pointed at her, “I’m already sleeping with you… Wouldn’t that be a big issue?”
“Ugghh… That’s why I didn’t want you to know… If you knew how troublesome it might be, you might decide to stop fucking me and there’s no way I would give that up!!”
I couldn’t help but facepalm after hearing that, “Do you have gods from other Worlds trying to bed you as well?”
She thrust her chest out proudly, “Of course I do! And you should know that I’ve never laid with any of them!”
“Does that mean that they might come and find me because I managed to sleep with you?”
The atmosphere around Hiandoca suddenly changed as she let out a roar, “Haaa?! If they even dare to do that, I’ll kill them!”
Oh? I guess I can rest easy that Hiandoca would actually protect me from her suitors and–
“If they see you, they’ll definitely want to sleep with you too!! There’s no way I’m letting that happen!! It’s one thing to share you amongst us, it’s another thing for some stupid Gods from other Worlds trying to get you!!”
… I take back everything I said.
I sighed again, “Well… If there’s nothing else, I should really be leaving now…”
Hiandoca gasped, “What?! Aren’t you going to bend me over this pew and rail me until tomorrow?”
I didn’t get to answer her as Srii butted in, “Would you like me to follow along, Aster?”
“Umm… I’ll call you again when we have more time, alright, Hiandoca? And umm… I think it’s better that we just do this on our own, Srii, but thank you for the offer.”
Srii simply nodded while Hiandoca pouted at me.
“Fiiiiine… I’ll hold you to that promise, ok? I can at least wait for a while more,” Hiandoca sighed.
Both of them then disappeared at the same time, leaving me alone in the temple once again.
I guess now I can finally go and check what the girls are up to now…

“Hey there~ Are you looking to buy some slaves? We have some high quality ones in the back.”
I have to say… Emilia looks like she was totally in her element as she called out to passers-by trying to sell them something that she didn’t even have.
Seems like the girls made some alterations to the plan since none of them had any business experience so they acted as ’runners’ for Emilia trying to get ’customers’ to her instead.
I guess that also worked since it would definitely sell the idea that another group was trying to encroach on their territory and make them act with more urgency to deal with us as well. And with the others spreading out in their territory, they should have no problems finding them to lead them back to us.
I was wondering how Emilia was dealing with actual customers looking to buy slaves and I got my answer soon enough.
“What’s your budget, dear customer?”
“Ha? What type of store are you running to ask me this question before I even get to see the goods?”
“We have certain rules here, dear customer. So what is your budget?”
“Tsk. Ten thousand Creas.”
“Oh, I’m sorry, that’s too low for us. I will have to ask you to leave.”
“What?! How dare you?!”
“Oh my, did you come here without knowing what you’re getting into?”
“What are you talking about?!”
She leaned closer to the guy, “We’re selling illegal slaves here. So you’ve got the money or not?”
“Wha… What?! Why didn’t you say so earlier! Yes I do! A hundred thousand Creas, is that enough?”
“Just pay the entry fee of a hundred Creas first and you’re good to go!”
The guy quickly slipped a small Silver coin into Emilia’s palm before walking towards the alley behind her.
But as soon as he stepped inside, Odeta came out from the shadows to knock him out with a quick blow to the back of his head.
Two knights then stepped out and grabbed the guy to drag him away, most likely to charge him for trying to engage in illegal slavery.
Emilia didn’t even react to the sounds of struggle coming from behind and just dropped the coin in her pouch before hiding it away, acting like nothing had happened.
As expected of Emilia…
Not only is she doing this, she’s even making money from it as well…
Seriously, she came up with a scheme where people are literally paying to let themselves get caught…
And I’m very sure she fully intends on keeping all the money she’s taken so far for herself… Just how much has she earned from this already?
As I was thinking about approaching her to see if there’s anything I could do to help, I heard a commotion from down the road and turned to see a group of thugs storming their way towards Emilia, all of them armed with makeshift weapons.
Oh… Looks like we caught our prey. That means it’s time to get to work~
