”Iʼm quite pleased with the results, quite honestly! Well done, Adelle,” I said. ”Youʼve been working really hard for your people; it makes me very happy.” I patted her head, as she blushed lightly.

”W-Why are you patting me? Iʼm not a kid anymore!” she pouted. ”W-Why not a kiss instead?”

”Oh~? Well, I thought you would get annoyed,” I giggled, as I kissed her cheek while walking by her side. ”Mooch! I can give you more if you want.”

”Ahh, no, thatʼs fine…” she was red as a tomato. ”We… we can have some fun at night? you can kiss me all you want by then.”

”Ohhh~? Alright then! I didnʼt know my cute little Adelle had suddenly become so assertive now! I guess youʼve truly grown a lot,” I giggled.

”D-Donʼt get the wrong idea, this is just because youʼre my wife, nothing else!” she pouted, crossing her arms.

Aw, she was still a Tsundere, huh? Well, thatʼs what was the cutest about her as well.

”Heheh, mama still is a Tsundere,” Belle recognized it. ”Um, what were you talking about, mommy?”

”Uuuh, nothing! Nothing dear,” I giggled. ”Just adult stuff.”

”Adult stuff… I was an adult before too…” she said, looking at me.

”E-Eh? Ah right… Uh, still, just donʼt mind it!” I smiled nervously. ”Ah right, how do you do at the academy, Belle? Girls?”

”Belle has great grades!” Vudia said.

”Well, Vudia too! And I too!” Ailine nodded.

”Weʼre super geniuses after all~!” Belle smiled, crossing her arms.

”Heh, naturally! My dearest daughter will exceed at that academy!” giggled Belle. ”Ah right, I wanted to ask you, my wife, if you could convince Mady to let her children join the academy as well. Theyʼve been begging me to convince her but Mady doesnʼt want them to go, she wants them to stay in her Underwater Kingdom sheʼs building…”

”Huh? Really? But why would she stop our kids?” I wondered.

”She says the academy is useless, but itʼs been teaching them a lot! Most of the teachers are all those old gods you recruited long ago in the Realm of Vida, remember them? Most of those gods had been living since before Genesis exploded into Realms, so theyʼre actually very wise and know many things we donʼt,” explained Belle. ”Despite being weaker than us theyʼre also great at teaching how to wield divine power… Daos and Divine Authorities grow stronger with Cosmic Energy too, so itʼs complicated to manipulate them. They surprisingly know how to do it and all.”

”Hmm, indeed, theyʼre quite wise, huh? And very old. Well, Iʼm glad I didnʼt just leave them dead… I Heard that Thanatosʼ gods are there?” I wondered. ”Well, except Thanatos, heʼs deader than dead.”

Iʼm referring to the Evil Gods that governed the Demon Kingdom of Thanatos, which once invaded my Empire and we had a big, huge war against them… it ended becoming such a large-scale conflict that I ended fighting dozens of Evil Gods, because their pantheon was just that massive.

Thanatos ended betraying his friends for more power I think? Memories of that war are quite vague to me now; it was so many years ago… but it was one of those highlights of my life for sure.

I ended up reviving everyone through my usual abilities, but I think I kept Thanatos dead because I freaking hated the guy, he was really shit.

I have the power to revive those I kill and eat, making them become part of my Pantheon instantly but… well, like Zeus, when theyʼre literally the worst bastards, they just stay dead.

Anyway, I shouldnʼt be thinking about this.

”Iʼll tell Mady about it, she invited me to her place, so Iʼll go later,” I nodded. ”Alright so which one of these ridiculously big buildings is the mall?”

”That one!” Ailine said, pointing into the distance.

It was a massive pyramid built out of golden bricks… it had several entrances and stairs, and people went in and out, some flying and others just walking.

”Oh wow itʼs a damn pyramid?!” I wondered. ”Who designed this mall?”

”Itʼs part of Nefertitiʼs Company,” explained Zehe, who had also come along. ”Sheʼs… well, missing after what happened. But her company is being handled by her workers, subjects from her first Kingdom inside of that Dungeon, remember?”

”I see… Iʼve seen quite a lot of these buildings around the city, so these are her companyʼs buildings, amazing… Nefertiti, I already miss her,” I sighed. ”I know sheʼs alive and healthy though, just lost in that world. I have to find her but… I donʼt think sheʼs in Japan, Iʼll have to go abroad to find her.”

”Sheʼs not? Then where she could have landed?” Brontes asked. ”Weird, most of the time we all land in that country. It was there before the rest of the world was formed after all.”

”Yeah, they might have landed there a little later,” Nesiphae rubbed her chin. ”Nixephine too… I canʼt believe I miss her, and Scarlet also misses her big scorpion mother. She grew up being raised by all three of us after all.”

”I know,” I nodded. ”Sheʼs… somewhat close to Nefertiti, I believe. I think theyʼre not too far apart from one another. Once I find Amiphossia, Ryo, and Oga that should be close by, Iʼll move to find them.”

”Guu… Are there any others missing?” Rimuru wondered.

”The Centaur Sisters as well,” Adelle said. ”I havenʼt seen them in a while. Theyʼre usually busy with their Kingdom, but they arenʼt there either.”

”Right…” I nodded. ”I knew there was someone missing too… so theyʼre gone… let me check- Ah, theyʼre fine as well. I think theyʼre also… not in Japan. Where are they? Ugh, Europe?! Seriously…”

”I guess thisʼll be a nice excuse to travel to those countries and continents,” Nesiphae giggled.

”I guess so…” I said. ”Well, thereʼs no helping it. I wonder if I could find an excuse with my father to go to another country? Probably not, we might have to sneak out... which doesnʼt seem that hard, we can fly and all.”
