The pink Minotaur said happily.
"After the vote, why didn’t you leave? Starting a Pure Love Sect missionary work here?"
"Because it’s too far from the Fess Kingdom, requiring two long-distance teleportation gates to get here. Once we arrived, we found no teleportation gate to go back."
The pink Minotaur said sheepishly.
Shami sighed and chose to forgive.
You can’t expect a combat-style creature to have too much brain.
"But we’re already collecting funds for the travel."
"Collecting funds and missionary work aren’t related, right!"
"As long as someone leaves the sect, they have to give us 100 gold coins."
"You’ve unexpectedly shown great wisdom, Pink Minotaur!"
Seeing Shami’s praise, the pink Minotaur seized the opportunity.
"Moreover, Lord Shami, establishing a sect has always been my wish!"
The pink Minotaur lifted its head, showing a devout expression.
"No, the Minotaur Tribe and a sect are unrelated thoughts. You’d better develop quietly, get a totem pole and become a Heavy Armor Warrior Tribe!"
Shami shook his head.
"But Lord Shami, a religion is something that gains power through faith."
The pink Minotaur looked at Shami with seriousness.
"When a belief brings strength to one person, it’s an obsession; when it brings strength to a group, it’s a noble sect. All of us in the tribe gain strength by believing in the pure love between Lord Shami, Lady Lureya, Lady Lina, Lady Saili, and Lady Elze. Isn’t this a religion?"
Shami was momentarily speechless. Follow current novᴇls on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵※𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾※𝙣𝙚𝙩
He wasn’t quite sure if so many maidens still counted as pure love.
But indeed, he had seen this pink Minotaur gain different abilities by being close to various Demon Envoy maidens.
Isn’t this the most direct manifestation of faith bringing power?!
Shami thought it over and decided to permit this.
After all, if the demon race grew stronger, having a religion to support them would help prevent outside sect invasions.
"Alright, if you want to develop in this direction, then continue. Just don’t bring trouble to me."
"Rest assured, Lord Shami! The Pure Love Sect will always remember Lord Shami!"
Seeing Shami agree, the pink Minotaur got excited.
"I haven’t been crucified yet, so don’t say such things."
Shami took the Pure Love Sect’s holy book from the pink Minotaur—a small palm-sized leather book three centimeters thick.
The cover was a hand-drawn image of a blond-haired maiden nailed to a cross.
Turns out the person being nailed is a flat-chested blonde!
Upon opening, he found the pages blank.
"Sorry, since we’ve just started the sect, we haven’t figured out the specific doctrines yet."
The pink Minotaur shyly took back the book.
"However, during our time in Saint Karno City, we’ve gained 30 members through our missionary efforts. As of today, the Pure Love Sect has successfully gathered 2600 gold coins and punished 5 members who didn’t follow the doctrines."
"Which is to say, most people who joined actually left!"
Shami quickly looked around to see many tall Minotaurs in cloaks walking the streets, occasionally knocking on the residents’ doors.
It’s district is occupied by Minotaurs! Doesn’t the local security care about this phenomena? If this continues, it’s sure to catch the attention of important figures!
"Don’t worry, Lord Shami, we change districts for missionary work every day."
"Don’t be idiotic, quickly get the Minotaurs out! You’ve already attracted attention!"
Shami issued the command, and the pink Minotaur had to relay the message.
A group of Minotaurs followed the leading Shami and pink Minotaur quietly out of the city.
Standing outside the city, Shami looked back at Saint Karno City in the dusk, feeling slightly melancholic.
After all, it was a place he had lived for a time.
However, he didn’t allow sentimentality.
If he doesn’t quickly establish the Demon Realm, the next time he comes here, he might be tied up by Heroes.
Using the teleportation gate, Shami led the Minotaur troop away from Saint Karno City.
After freshening up, the three maidens wished each other goodnight and returned to their rooms to sleep.
The Elf Maiden proudly crawled into the bed.
Although Shami left, his blanket was still firmly in the Elf Maiden’s grasp.
In the approaching winter’s cooling weather, Shami’s scent on the blanket became even stronger.
Although mixed with some white and purple hair scents, that’s ignorable.
After confirming the door was locked, the Elf Maiden buried her face in the blanket, hesitated for a moment, then swallowed.
With others always in the room these days, the maiden had no time for her own matters.
She is, after all, a maiden of youthful Elf age.
Now, with the blanket’s warmth, it’s time to seize this rare personal moment.
[Elf Race · 79 years · Water Magic Master · Lureya] online!
The Elf Maiden crawled completely into the blanket.
"I’ve been discovered~ Lureya~"
Suddenly, a small face popped out from beneath the blanket, startling the Elf Maiden into a panic as she quickly put on the [Equipment · Bottom] near her knees.
"L-l-l-lina! Why are you here?! I definitely locked the door, didn’t I?"
The Elf Maiden lifted the blanket in panic, seeing the white-haired maiden in pajamas at the bed corner, slowly standing up, smiling at the Elf Maiden.
"Because Elze is here~"
The Elf Maiden hurriedly glanced around the room.
The Dragon Race Maiden, who had been hiding behind the door, gradually became visible, crossing her arms with a smug look.
"Being in the theft business, unlocking doors is second nature to me."
"Don’t be proud of that! That’s breaking into a maiden’s room uninvited!"
The Elf Maiden hastily shielded her warm body with the blanket.
"Why did you come to my room? Shami already went back!"
The white-haired maiden and the Dragon Race Maiden exchanged glances, looking a bit awkward.
"Sorry, it’s habit. We thought you and Shami were up to something strange behind closed doors, so we sneaked in to check."
"Ahaha~ No way, each to their own sleep~"
"But Shami’s blanket and pillow are still here."
"I want the blanket."
The two maidens started competing over the bed, while the Elf Maiden defended her territory with home advantage.
The three breathless maidens looked at each other.
"Fine, let’s all sleep together tonight."
"Sure. I’ll go get the pillow."
"Is this really your living room now?! Respect my privacy a bit more!"
The Elf Maiden complained, already sandwiched between the Dragon Race maiden and the white-haired maiden.
The lamp turned off, marking the official start of sleep time.
The Dragon Race maiden and white-haired maiden quickly fell asleep, while the Elf Maiden lay rigidly in the middle, staring blankly at the ceiling.
This isn’t right... Shami’s not even here, yet we’re all on the same bed...
If she doesn’t sleep soon, getting up tomorrow will be difficult...
The Elf Maiden shook her head, decided to forget about it.
She turned her body left; the white-haired maiden softly rolled towards her, pressing firmly.
The Elf Maiden shivered and quickly turned right.
At this moment, the Dragon Race maiden started pressing against her, causing another shiver.
Sandwiched between the two, the Elf Maiden found it hard to breathe!
"Lureya, you smell so nice..."
"I’ve never gotten along so well with an Elf. Let me check out your body, Lureya, and I’ll show you the Dragon Race’s later."
Under the blanket, Elze and Lina’s hands began to wander.
Lureya’s eyes widened, shocked.
"So this time you’re both after me?! I can’t move at all! Help..."
Shami returned to Yili Village, contemplated for several days before reaching the conclusion he wanted.
That day, he left the village early and headed to Maple Forest Clearing.
He had already chosen the spot to place Demon King Castle and was about to lead the creatures from Maple Forest Clearing to their new home.
"Let’s go, everyone, you’ll become the first residents of Demon King Castle and Demon Realm!"
