After getting approval from King Galvan, Leo, was about to 'formally' meet Madara, his other persona who is now the 'protector' of Spectre Village, Genesis Valley but something or more specifically someone troublesome appeared in Genesis Valley, and he had to swap places with his wood clone. Again.
"Seriously, I need someone who will manage all this work for me, maybe a daemon from White lineage."
[Quest Issued: Establish trade relations with the Kingdom of Siberia.
Reward: ???(Daemon from White lineage)
Bonus Rewards will be given depending on performance.
Penalty: Lake Shore Dyed Red Incident Happens]
"Eh? Why the hell did this quest pop out of nowhere? And where is this Siberia?" Leo couldn't help but exclaim seeing the quest, though the reward was tempting if he got a high-priority trade agreement with the kingdom maybe he would directly get an Arch-daemon from the White lineage as a reward.
"This incident... I have heard this maybe Wiki, it is probably related to the Easter Empire, hmm, they are the reason behind most mass slaughters it looks like." Eastern Empire just earned another negative point in Leo's hit list.
"Well, let's focus on walking the walking/flying catastrophe, shall we?" Leo says as squints his gaze toward the sky feeling an incredibly powerful aura coming toward his territory, he is standing outside his city in case things get out of hand.
He also called Venelana (via CC) and instructed her to prepare the tastiest dishes she had ever made.
Ah, there the source of the aura is.
*BOOM and there goes a good amount of land thankfully the Builders are yet to build anything here.
"Nice to meet you! I'm the one and only Dragonoid, also known as the Destroyer—Demon Lord Milim Nava!" A childish voice cheerfully introduces.
It was none other than the Nepo kid.
(Look who is saying)
"Nice to meet you too, Demon Lord, Milim Nava, my name is..." Well with her Milim Eye would detect my lies anyway "Leo, also known as Madara, the Ruler of Genesis Valley."
I gave a small bow to her.
Milim instantly appears before me and looks at me with raised brows "So, you are the ruler of this place, you are stronger than those Clayman and Carrion almost on par with Luminous, hmm, where were you all this time." Before I could respond she stood on her toes held my arms and started shaking me "Anyway I came here to play, will you play with me?" She excitedly said.
There goes my cover fortunately no one is here and Luminous would be angry if she heard her identity was so casually revealed not that I needed to know but this way I will an excuse.
Leo barely managed to keep his footing as Milim energetically shook his arm, her boundless energy radiating so intensely that if Leo was a normal human his organs would have turned into a golden milkshake. Milim's wide, eager eyes sparkled with childlike excitement as she 'waited' for his response.
"Play... with you?" Leo repeated, doing his best to keep his tone calm. Having a sense of deja vu when he laughed at Rimuru's situation on the screen.
"Yes, yes!" Milim nodded furiously, her twin tails bouncing with every motion. "You're strong! And strong people are fun to play with!" She tilted her head with a grin. "So? Let's fight!"
I inwardly grimaced. Of course, it's a fight she wants, and 'why the hell I am surprised?' I thought. Typical Milim. Keeping a pleasant smile plastered on his face, he raised a hand to calm her. "Demon Lord Milim," he began, "while I'd be honored to have a chance to spar with someone as powerful as you, this isn't exactly the best place for it. Genesis Valley is still under development, and I'd hate for us to accidentally destroy—"
"Don't care! I'll go easy on you," Milim interrupted, her grin widening. "Come on, show me what you've got! It'll be fun! You can even become a Demon Lord if you manage to scratch me."
I resisted the urge to groan out loud. This girl really doesn't take no for an answer, does she?
And a Demon Lord is it a cookie that you are offering it like that?
'Why I am even waiting?' I cursed, "Milim," he said with a sly smile, "before we fight, wouldn't you like to try something new? Something incredible?"
Milim blinked, tilting her head cutely. "Huh? What's better than a fight?" Her voice was skeptical but curious.
"Food," I said, gesturing toward the city. "Our head chef has been preparing dishes unlike anything you've ever tasted. I can promise you, it'll be an experience you won't forget. You do like tasty food, right?"
Obviously, she likes tasty food, as her Dragon Faithful's offerings are not exactly the 'tastiest' meals since they like to eat food raw.
Milim's expression lit up. "Food?!" she exclaimed, letting go of his arm and clapping her hands together. "I love food! But it better be really good, or I'll be mad, and then we will fight for sure! If you lose you will become my subordinate." She said in a cheerful tone.
I chuckled confident in Venelana's cooking. "Oh, I have no doubt you will love it. The chef, Venelana, is unmatched in her craft. She has even made dishes for royalty before." Technically not a lie, he thought, since he is a royalty.
"Well, what are we waiting for?!" Milim yelled, grabbing his arm again and tugging him toward the city with. "Let's go!"
(Location - Clan Castle's dining hall is the only place Leo can stand a chance against Milim)
Inside Genesis Valley's Clan Castle's dining hall, Venelana had outdone herself. The table was covered in an array of colorful, mouthwatering dishes that filled the air with tantalizing aromas. There were steaming plates of roasted meat seasoned with rare spices, creamy soups, and desserts glistening with a sweet glaze.
Milim's eyes grew impossibly wide as saucers she took in the feast before her. "Whoa! It smells soooo good!" she squealed, practically bouncing on her toes. Without waiting for permission, she plopped down and grabbed the nearest plate, digging in with childlike enthusiasm.
Leo sat across from her, watching as Milim devoured bite after bite. Her delighted squeals and the way her eyes sparkled with every new flavor were oddly endearing. "So, how does it taste?"
Milim slammed her fork down on the table, cracking it, and beamed at him. "This is AMAZING! You weren't kidding! Venelana's the best! I want more!"
"Eat as much as you like," Leo said, breathing a small sigh of relief. Crisis averted—for now.
As Milim continued her feast, Leo leaned back in his chair, already planning his next steps. He knew this was just a temporary solution. Milim was unpredictable, and sooner or later, she'd want that fight. But for now, as she happily gobbled down Venelana's food, the walking catastrophe was contained.
For how long, though? That was anyone's guess.
After a few hours of testing the limits of Venelana's [Grandmaster Chef] class Milim with a comically large stomach, leaned back on the chair finally satisfied.
Leo knew that Venelana's cooking was delicious but he didn't expect Milim to be this hungry he didn't know why she hadn't gained a skill related to gluttony, just kidding.
"So, Demon Lord Milim, you are a busy person so you should go no—" Leo didn't get to finish his sentence "Nah, I have a lot of time, hey, Leo you can call me Milim, be proud since only Demon Lords and people close to me get to call me that."
'So, I am getting friend-zoned.' Leo didn't let his jokes get out of his head but—"Friendzone, what is that?" He forgot Milim also has Milim Ear.
"Nothing, Milim, but don't you have a country to manage "City of Forgotten Dragon" it is not wise to leave your territory even if you are Milim Nava." He says.
"No need to think about it Middray will handle everything from me, but why don't you become a Demon Lord? You will shock everyone, hehe, you are already stronger than half of the Demon Lords, Ramiris would be so jealous that I got a friend." She smiles mischievously already imagining the chaos.
"Sorry Milim, I can't become a Demon Lord, I have already a lot of work to do, and what you are suggesting will only increase it." Leo denies there are many reasons that he didn't want to become a Demon Lord, first, he is from Clash Continent and that place has its version of Demon Lord council which he is going to join soon.
Second, he doesn't want to get in the eyes of Guy Crimson if he already isn't, and another reason is he doesn't want to get involved in his games, at least not officially.
"Mou, but being Demon Lord is fun strong people come to fight you."
"Milim that is another reason I don't want to become a Demon Lord." I shot down her 'reasoning' immediately.
Before she could come to another reason someone knocked on the door and it was no one other than Yasaka, Milim glared at the door which was honestly cute.
"Come in Yasaka." I brought her inside, the nine-tails came inside and Milim stared at her chest and then compared it with herself then glared at Yasaka's chest in jealousy.
'Don't worry Milim you have potential.' I mentally say, careful that Milim doesn't hear it, I hope.
Then Milim's eyes fell on Yasaka's fox ears and tails, "Woah, a nine-tails it is rare to see one, hey can I touch them." She is just a few moments away before touching them, Yasaka expertly dodges Milim's hands and bows respectively "Demon Lord Milim-sama I apologize but only Master Leo has the privilege to touch them as I am his pet you will need to ask him."
I barely hold myself from grimacing, I could feel Venelana's piercing gaze at my back as I hadn't told her about this.
Milim looks at me "Hey, Leo can I touch them, please?" She even managed to make puppy eyes.
*Sigh "If Yasaka is fine with it." Well, it is not like I don't understand her, Yasaka's fur is soft even better than my bed back in Town Hall.
With my permission, Milim hugged one of her tails that was as large as herself "You have such strong subordinates, Leo, she is really strong and even has a name, you should become a Demon Lord."
"My answer is still no, Milim maybe sometime later but not now." I politely decline and turn towards Yasaka "So, what brings you here, Yasaka?"
"Master we have found a few harpies who don't belong to our village and a few lycanthropes they say they work under Demon Lord Frey and Demon Lord Carrion, and there is also a Merchant from Ulgracia Would you like to meet them?"
'What the fuck is with all the Demon Lords coming here? I have told Yasaka and Venelana about my merchant persona so it is not much of a problem but both of them are different matters, though I am not afraid of them.
"Hmm, tell them to wait in the guest room I will meet them in a few hours." I will need to make some things clear with Milim with her Milim Eye and Ear she would learn most of the things so I would need to tell her what to keep a secret.
Yasaka nods and Milim reluctantly let goes her tail, I am surprised she didn't interrupt me "So, Carrion and Frey also want to play, it will be fun when I trick them, hey Leo how about we prank them."
"Only you will think of pranking Demon Lords, Milim but, no."
Milim puffs her cheeks as she mutters "But you are stronger than them, it would have been fun."
Later, I explained to Milim some things like: Clash Continent, me being Clash King and she will call me Madara whenever we are in public and I made her pinky promise if she breaks it our friendship will be over and she will not get any food from me.
"You are a baddie, Leo." She got a lot of questions though but I told her I would answer all of them later.
