Chapter 78: Shudoji's Choice
Shudoji. An oni and one of the best fighters in her race, and is my second disciple who usually takes the form of a girl because it is easier for her to do detailed work.
Even though I say second disciple, considering that the reason I started taking disciples in this period was to make my first godchild, Celicia, with the exception of Celicia, who was the originator of the idea of sealing me, Shudoji is my first disciple.
Now, my first disciple is completely frozen when she sees me. At first glance, her appearance is full of openings, but if one observes her carefully, one can see that she is in a fighting stance.
However, even though she is one of the best attackers among my disciples, I don't think she would be able to win a one-on-one fight with me. Therefore, the most effective tactic for her in this situation would be to first unleash a big attack and call out Floria.
In fact, with my current weakened state, it is a little tough for me to deal with Floria and Shudoji at the same time.
Then, should I defeat Shudoji before she can make a move?
No, no. Knowing Shudoji's character, I understand very well that there is no need to do anything here.
"D-Daimaou...... sama?"
“Yes. What is it? Also, was there anything you wanted to say to me?”
I give her a lady-like smile that mimics Floria's as she had been frozen for nearly five minutes.
Seeing my super beautiful smile, Shudoji flinched for a moment, but then quickly leaped from the spot. Andーー
"I'm sorryyy!!"
She vigorously rubbed her forehead against the ground.
Ah, it's here. Shudoji's 18th, jumping dogeza. The horn on her forehead pierces through the concrete, leaving a hole in the ground as she apologizes.
Kuh. If you put your head in a place where it is so easy to step on, I would want to step on your head and grind it. Of course, I can't do such a terrible thing to my cute little disciple, but even so, when she apologizes to me, I feel like forgiving her. What a scary technique it is!
Grind*, grind*. Grind*, grind*.
"Ah. It hurts. My head is about to be crushed. Um, Daimaou-sama? My head is about to be crushed!?"
"Oya, I'm sorry. Did you say something just now? Anyway, I'm a stupid one who is sealed by my disciples, and my hearing is quite bad."
"Hii! Just now, did I heard it right? No, wrong! That's wrong! That's..."
"That's... what is it?"
Grind*, grind*. Grind*, grind*.
"Hii!? Actually, I really didn't want to do it!! It's all Celicia's fault... no, it's Floria's."
"Isn't that too much of a stretch?"
Shudoji tried to blame everything on Celicia to escape responsibility, but it seems that she changed direction to Floria as soon as she remembered that I am super sweet to Celicia. However, the theory of Floria as the main culprit is too much of a stretch in terms of personality. Shudoji may have thought the same thing after I said it, and dexterously moved her head while being stepped on by me.
"That's true, too. But Mirage and Glenn. It's those two's fault. It's all their fault!"
"What? That's terrible."
"Isn't it? Isn't it?"
“Yes. Jeez. Now, I will punish the children who betrayed me, and Shudoji will help me with that."
"Eh? No, that's..."
"Help me."
Grind*, grind*. Grind*, grind*.
"My pleasure~."
Shudoji easily sells out the other disciples to save her own skin. Fufu. She still has that same easy-to-understand personality, doesn't she?
In the past, she often sold our information to the pursuers for money. Especially when she sold out young Floria and Satanalia to slavers, the normally mild-mannered Glenn got angry and burned Shudoji whole. Well~. Even though it happened less than a thousand years ago, it's a strangely nostalgic memory.
“Then I'll tell you what's going on, so listen to me properly and don't play any tricks, okay?"
While grinding Shudoji's head so that she would not think of something silly, I explained to her the current situation in which I was impersonating Aquim-kun.
"...I see. Because of that asshole, the seal was broken... noooo!? It's going to be crushed. It's going to be crushed. My head is going to be crushed!!"
With a cracking sound, Shudoji's head sinks into the floor.
“I don't want to hear bad things about my sweet little Aquim-kun who saved me! Especially from the mouth of a bad girl who was also working on strengthening my seal."
"You're wrong. You're wrong, Mama! I was working on this to save Mama, not [you old hag! I'll make sure you never come out again!]. That's not what I was thinking."
"Really?"
Grind*, grind*. Grind*, grind*.
"That's right! So please forgive me! I'm really sorry!!"
"Eh~? What should I do~?"
Grind*, grind*. Grind*, grind*. Crack*, crack*.
"M-Mama and I are on good terms! It's been really hard for me during the 300 years that Mama was sealed away!! So please forgive me! Please!!"
"Seriously, you're still the troublesome child who says only what is convenient. But...... hehe. Well, that's okay. I'll save your punishment for another day."
I, being gentle and kind, said so and moved my foot away from Shudoji's head. Then Shudoji looked up vigorously and had an expression of disbelief on her face.
“No way!? If I help you, could you spare me? You're stingy, you old hag!!"
"Kora, you have a foul mouth, you know?"
As a parent, I pinched Shudoji's cheeks for the sake of education.
"Nuoo!! It hurts, it hurts!! What's this!? A terrible pain in my material!? I'm sorry!! I'm sorryyyy!!"
"Have you regretted it?"
"Yes! Yes! I regretted it!"
"If so, I'll forgive you."
As soon as I removed the hand that was pinching her cheek, Shudoji rolls around on the ground.
"Hii. It hurts too much. It's been hundreds of years since I've had pain like this."
"Fufu. Let me tell you, it's up to you whether or not you're completely innocent. Please do your best to entertain me."
"Gununu... I understand. This Shudoji will do everything in her power to sell out the others in order to save herself."
Shudoji rubs her cheeks but clenches her fists in passionate determination.
Now I can use this girl at my disposal for a while. Well, this girl will bow to the stronger one as long as she is not interfered with while making things, so I will have to be careful when Celicia comes out, but it will still be fine for the time being.
"I have high hopes for you. Now then, I'm going back to Aquim-kun and get fucked by Floria, so please help Aquim-kun's butthole before it can't go back to normal, okay?"
"Wait, Daimaou-sama."
"What? By any chance, do you want to rape Aquim-kun too? It can't be helped, it's a request from my cute disciple. If it's just for a week, I'll lend Aquim-kun's ass to you."
"Wrong! That's not it, there's something I want to ask Daimaou-sama."
"Oya, oya. That's kind of a rude way of saying it. I thought you and I are on good terms. Ask me anything."
It's a funny coincidence, but all the disciples of this era were picked up by me when they were young and raised by me. Of course, for me and Arama, all life in this world is all children, but even so, I feel attached to a child that I have a special affection for.
I stopped trying to return to Floria, I turned around and listened to Shudoji. Then, after showing a little hesitation, Shudoji opened her mouth.
“Why was Daimaou-sama got sealed away by us at that time?”
"Fufu. That's a funny thing to hear. You guys were the ones who tricked me by telling me to celebrate before achieving world domination."
Although, I thought it was strange when Celicia said let's dress up for the party and brought Arama's special straitjacket. Well, Celicia said "don't worry about it" so I wore it. Also, it's a little funny when the food comes out with a lot of medicine that suppresses my strength. Well, Celicia said, "Don't worry about it, eat it," so I ate it.
Seeing how Celicia begged at that time. I ate three bowls of rice.
"We're not trying to deceive you. Certainly, we made preparations to seal Daimaou-sama, and we acted with the intention of succeeding if we were to do it."
"If soーー"
"However. Even so, we thought. Daimaou-sama would surely laugh at our schemes and destroy them. In fact, right now, Daimaou-sama broke the seal we set. But why? Why were you sealed for over 300 years?"
"What? By any chance, did you want to be punished by me after you made a mistake? Well, everyone has there own tastes, but if you can enjoy my punishment, life will be nothing to be afraid of. I'm glad that you grew up strong, as a mother, I'm happy you know."
I point my right hand towards Shudoji. If it was Satanalia, she will return the same pose, but it seems that Shudoji is currently in a bad mood. She is staring at me with a scary face.
"Don't make fun of me! I'm asking seriously."
Shudoji raises her voice. Fumu. Unusual, isn't it? Shudoji who has no interest in anything other than making things would be interested in something like this. Does that mean that things have changed in the last 300 years? That extremely narrow-minded person, who boasts tremendous talent because of that, could never have cared about the people around herーー
"Shudoji, I'm happy."
"W-what's wrong?"
I let out a sigh and slowly approach Shudoji. Shudoji hesitated for a moment about whether she should run away or not, but in the end, she didn't move.
Shudoji looks up at me. I gently caressed Shudoji's cheek.
"You're so small when I picked you up, but you've grown so big now. Fufu. The growth of life is really interesting."
My cute, lovely child. Every time I touch these kids, I always thinkーー Ah. I want to break them, I want to rip them apart and carve eternal despair into their fearless face that never stops believing in tomorrow's happiness. How much fun would it be if their face that long for me goes mad every they see me? How funny would they be if I stripped it of all its dignity and stuffed their mouth with feces as they made nothing but a faint cry?
I'm imagining it, I'm dreaming it, and feeling it strongly. At the same time, I want to protect these children. I want to destroy all disasters and take these children away to eternal paradise so that these sadly weak children will not encounter any cruel events that exist in this world. How wonderful would it be if I could laugh together with these children forever in a world where we never get old, never get sick, and never get tired of it?
Destroy and protect, save and kill. Conflicting emotions are always running around in my mind. I don't even know which emotions to face. Now, not only Arama but also Nell is here, so I don't overdo it as much as I used to, but I still feel that if I let my guard down. My true desire will come out (Chaos).
Turning male to female. Turning inanimate objects into living organisms. Turning the dead into living. Traveling from the future and the past. No order, no boundary, All things are equal. I have only such a view of the world, so this world where everything seems to be separated at first glance is really interesting.
Arama. My best friend will never understand. That foreign god whom I met one day said that the proper form of our universe is that I, Chaos, and Order, Arama fight each other, and one of us should remain.
"D-Daimaou-sama? W-what's wrong?"
I was caught up in a variety of thoughts and became quiet, and Shudoji approached me while feeling fear.
Fufu. I love every one of these casual exchanges. Of course, I love to make these cute little children cry, but if I overdo it and break them, there's no meaning to it.
At the time when I, Daimaou-sama, was sealed up, unfortunately (or perhaps luckily) for these children, the not-so-good I, Chaos, was about to surface. If I, Daimaou-sama, had destroyed the trap used by these children at that time, These children will surelyーー
I lightly put my own lips on Shudoji's lips, who were still confused and motionless.
Kiss*!
"Wha!?"
Shudoji jerked and took her distance from me at a tremendous speed. Her reaction was also amusing, and I held my mouth and laughed out loud.
"Fufu. What is that maiden-like reaction?"
"I'm a maiden!! I'm just surprised!"
“Saying such a thing~, you were really embarrassed, weren’t you? In the past, you often wanted to see me naked.”
"Hmph. No one has a more perfect human body than Daimaou-sama. It's great for a model."
"Shall I show my skin again?"
I undo the shoulder straps of the black dress I am wearing and show it to Shudoji, closing one eye. Then, Shudoji approaches me dazedly, as if her, being afraid of me until now was a lie. Andーー
Riiip*!!
"Kya ❤."
She forcefully rips off the dress I am wearing, including my underwear. I cover my breasts and pubic area with my hands and dye my cheeks as a courtesy of being suddenly stripped naked. Shudoji takes out a sketchbook from space after observing my whole body in every corner.
"Umu. I've seen it tens of thousands of times, but it's still an art. Come on, take your hands off."
"No~. It's so embarrassing~"
Shudoji roughly brushed off my hand, a maiden hiding her secret parts, and sat down on the spot and started sketching.
For a few moments, until the brush stops, I silently watch my sweet child take things seriously. And then I think. I am so glad that I didn't kill them at that time.
Because now I can break them again.
Relationships sure can be complicated in this story.
