However, since the decision was made to bring the Dragon Race Maiden on board, it’s of course important to handle the relationship between her and the other three maidens well.
Also, this time in the campaign against Bichu’er, the undercover Dragon Race Maiden played an extremely crucial role.
"Alright, alright, it’s time for a celebration banquet. Anyone who wants to join, please sign up."
Shami opened the teleportation gate, on one side was the Maple Forest Clearing in Yili Village, letting the Slime leave first.
"Lureya is supposed to be in survival training, right? It’s not the time to sign up, better hurry back."
"Lina is the one who should leave, you definitely sneaked out from Harlan!"
As the Magical Girl signed up as the first person, while Lureya and Lina were arguing, she had already walked straight up to Shami and entered the teleportation gate.
"In the afternoon, I’ll take a rest at the inn for a while."
The Magical Girl yawned.
Shami came in front of Elze, who quickly stood up straight, locking her legs together nervously.
The Dragon Race Maiden was silent.
"What, don’t want to go?"
The Dragon Race Maiden shook her head, scratching her cheek with her index finger.
"Although we interacted at the seaside, at that time, I came with the mindset of exploding your rice, suddenly becoming teammates now feels somewhat uncomfortable..."
"Moreover, it seems they are not very willing to mingle with me, their gaze at me is strange, especially that blonde Elf Maiden..."
The Dragon Race Maiden blinked, quietly added.
Your big chest is to blame.
The flat-chested golden-haired maiden’s gaze is practically glaring.
"Don’t worry, they’re actually quite easy to get along with."
Shami changed the Dragon Race Maiden’s concern.
"This celebration banquet is also your welcome party; welcome to join us, Elze, we’re family now."
Shami’s mouth slightly curled, the smile wasn’t obvious but it made the Dragon Race Maiden feel sincerity.
"If the employee treatment doesn’t materialize, I’m leaving anytime."
The Dragon Race Maiden coughed awkwardly.
Lureya: "Shami, an evil party is an evil party, when did it become a welcome party, as a member of the Demon Race, use more wicked terms!"
Lina: "Exactly, exactly. It can’t be just me attending an evil party!"
The Dragon Race Maiden widened her eyes.
"Enough nonsense, you two! You’re scaring the newbie!"
Since Theo left Yili Village, Yili Village hasn’t had a decent topic.
"Shami brought back another dark-skinned maiden!"
"This guy will be overwhelmed sooner or later!"
"The Elf Maiden, the Mage Lady also returned. Were they caught having an affair?!"
"I say, Shami bought that for keeping someone there not long ago!"
The villagers were chatting in the tavern.
"With the Humanoid Race gone from the village, I can finally breathe easily. The air in the village is as fresh as ever!"
The Elf Maiden took a deep breath of air.
"The village, is still the same village."
The white-haired maiden wiped her tears with her small hands excitedly.
"Obviously only been gone a month, why make it sound like half a lifetime has passed!"
Shami teased the two companions beside him.
The Dragon Race Maiden surveyed the surroundings, quietly examining this village that was home to the Demon King Shami.
"By the way, Lureya, Lina, I’ve bought the inn, so your rooms haven’t been changed. I’ve also been helping with cleaning, so you can move right in."
Lureya and Lina stared at Shami with wide eyes.
While the Demon Envoy Maidens were out training, Shami did not idle, besides preparing to strengthen himself, he was also planning his business strategy in Yili Village.
The most important achievement was spending 200 gold coins to buy the village inn.
Though the inn is the most idle place in the village where almost no villagers go there to live daily.
But when the Demon King appears, many adventurer teams head to the village, and the lodging supply is tight.
The inn, village chief’s place, blacksmith shop, tavern are the most popular spots in the village during adventure times. Then the value of the inn will show.
Of course, with Shami’s current finances, he completely has the means to buy the whole village, but explaining the source of the money is a bit tricky.
So, Shami found an excuse of [finding a money bag buried by the Hero in his land], gaining a legitimate small fortune, and buying the inn.
More plans will be made for subsequent affairs.
Lureya and Lina rushed back to the inn.
Shami also arranged a room for the Dragon Race Maiden.
He started to prepare, planning a big surprise for the four maidens.
Yes, the venue Shami chose for the party this time is inside—Demon King Castle!
Although the Demon King Castle is still a rough castle, Shami has already mastered some skills using the Heart of the Demon King’s Castle to corporealize the Demon King Castle.
This time, let’s have a fun party in the first-floor hall of the Demon King Castle!
After a short nap, the four maidens woke up to find the teleportation scroll Shami left on the bedside table, along with a[Party Exclusive Teleportation Gate, please use this teleportation gate to join the party at 3 PM]note.
Needing a teleportation gate to attend the party, filling up with style!
The four maidens used the teleportation gate, arriving one after another at a wide basin, surrounded by high mountains, and looking up, a huge castle stood prominently in the center of the basin.
This castle was very large, but it only had a simple rough framework, seemingly in its most primitive state.
However, just the simple rough framework, without any decoration or embellishment, even the outer walls were unrefined earthen bricks, the castle already had a unique aura, emanating a peculiar atmosphere, making the four maidens gulp.
If it could be completed, it would surely be a spectacular castle to astonish the entire continent!
"Did Shami give the wrong address, feels like we’re at a mighty person’s doorstep."
At this moment, the castle door gradually opened, Shami walked out from within, clapping his hands as Slimes suddenly appeared on both sides holding up banners.
"Welcome to the Demon King Castle to join this party, everyone."
The maidens were stunned for a moment.
"Is this the Demon King Castle, Shami!"
The Elf Maiden and the white-haired maiden excitedly clenched their fists.
Shami, slightly embarrassed, nodded.
"Yes, sorry for that, I originally planned to show it completed but it seems discussing together could bring better ideas. But my current home is quite big, everyone can come in to play, and if you’re tired you can sleep directly..."
But before finishing his words, Shami was bumped aside by the Elf Maiden and Heroic Maiden, who dashed into the castle.
"New home! This will be my territory from now on hahaha!"
"I must go inside and choose a room!"
"Hey, hey, hey, make it clear this is my home, Lureya!——Lina doesn’t have to rush either."
Shami sighed watching the Ordinary Magical Girl with a calm face.
At this time, only the Ordinary Magical Girl was behaving normally.
"Seriously, those two haven’t grown at all."
The Ordinary Magical Girl calmly viewed the castle before her.
"Is this the Demon King Castle?"
"The primitive version of the Demon King Castle."
The Magical girl slowly walked into the castle.
Indeed, she was willing to stay here.
Though the beginning was a bit bumpy, the party was underway.
On the first-floor hall, the five people ate while enjoying the open space of the Demon King Castle, sunlight streaming through the slanted windows above the hall.
At the party, the Dragon Race Maiden kept closely observing the other three maidens.
Though she hadn’t been part of a group before, the Dragon Race Maiden understood that to thrive in a group, finding an appropriate leader is key.
For now, that leader could be Saili, Lureya, or Lina.
