Chapter 67 Benimaru's Eye Candies
?
Benimaru eventually entered his newly built residence, which was a miniature castle.
Benimaru didn't want to build such a thing at first, as he felt it was unnecessary. But the constant requests from his generals made his heart change. He thought in his mind. 'If we are going to build one, then let's build a proper one at least.'
They were all inexperienced in carpentry and construction work. So, Benimaru bought some elementary-level books in such a category and learned them instantly. The end result was a castle made of stones that consisted of seven bedrooms, one dining room, and one king's hall, which took two weeks to make. The castle was two stories tall. Benimaru and Ravenna lived at the top in their separate rooms, while others lived at the bottom.
Benimaru went to his room and wore his merchant's outfit, which was black and red in color with some yellow borders to the side. He also combed his messy hair and put on a pair of black shoes.
With all things down, he came downstairs and saw Ragnar, in his usual outfit, standing alone before the main entrance.
Benimaru didn't get mad or show any negative emotion seeing Ragnar like this, as he wouldn't be going with them. Someone has to watch the place, as anything or anyone might invade them, so Ragnar was good for this job. Instead, Benimaru asked in confusion. "Where are those two?"
The ones Benimaru was talking about were Ravenna and Fiain. Ragnar answered with embarrassment, despite not doing anything. "Umm…Lord, they are dressing up together and helping each other. Miss Ravenna told me it might take time."
"Ahh~" Benimaru instantly face-palmed while letting out a sigh too. 'It looks like no matter what race women might be from, they are all the same in heart and nature.'
Benimaru could do nothing but wait now and discuss some stuff with Ragnar. "Ragnar, in the absence of us, I hope you can guard this place properly."
"I will, my lord." Ragnar vowed, resting his hand on his chest.
Benimaru nodded his head and then told him about other things. "Remember, if you see anyone near the perimeter of our place, immediately report me. If the target is weak, then kill him instantly, and if the target is strong, call everyone to the castle and go to defense and wait till we come back."
"As you wish." Ragnar engraved those words in his mind as he felt he had a heavy burden on his shoulder.
Suddenly, Ragnar felt Benimaru's hand resting on his shoulder. He looked up and saw Benimaru say it with a bright face. "Also, listen to this carefully. If the situation becomes dire, escape immediately. Do not care about the castle. Nothing is more important than your life."
Ragnar went into a trance just after hearing that. Ragnar could still be considered a newborn baby, so he didn't care much about emotions. But he knew in his heart after hearing this that Benimaru cared about him very much.
At that moment, Ravenna and Fiain instantly stopped the tears that were about to come out of Ragnar's eyes. Benimaru didn't notice that as before Ragnar showed those emotions, he had turned his head back to Ravenna and Fiain. Benimaru was immediately entranced by their beauty and charm. 'Damn, I might break into the market on the first day.'
Benimaru couldn't help but say this, as they were truly looking very beautiful in their dresses. Ravenna was wearing an oceanic blue long frock, and her hair was tied down like a ponytail. Lastly, her smiling face made people seem very approachable.
On the other hand, Fiain was wearing a light yellow long frock just like Ravenna's. Her dress somehow matched with her eyes and hair. Finally, her emotionless face, without care for anything, had a unique charm of its own.
They were able to hide their demonic traits after breaking through to the second major realm. This brought a totally new perspective to their beauty, a human one at that.
The other reason Benimaru said this was because he wanted eye candy for his new shop. He knew that with just good products, he couldn't make a solid stand in the city; he needed something extra that could bring a bunch of loyal customers from the very beginning, something that could attract them. So, he thought of Ravenna and Fiain, who were in their own league in terms of beauty standards.
However, this belief solidified more just now, after seeing them in their human form and fully dressed like modest girls. The reason for Benimaru's doubt was because there was a charm to women with and without demonic traits. However, it looks like his generals weren't something to be looked down upon, they could hold their own against the top beauties of the world with their demonic traits and human form too.
'I guess my choice of dress was right too.' Benimaru praised himself secretly as he chose the dress for them, which he bought from the shop. Long frocks were showcasing their curves and physical beauty while also looking modest, which was the sweet spot for a shop manager in Benimaru's book.
'But, this girl truly surprised me. I know she is very good-looking, but I believed she was not on the level of Ravenna's. However, I am wrong, she has her own charm. Well, I guess every girl has their own charm. I need to reconsider my beauty standards. Also, this girl being able to catch Ravenna and Ragnar in just a short period of time is truly unbelievable.' The girl Benimaru was talking about was Fiain, his newly 'born' general.

Yes, Fiain did reach the 1st Fleshcrafting Realm. But we have to keep in mind that she received help from Benimaru as he gave her many potions and pills; she also just reached the 1st Fleshcrafting Realm while Ravenna and Ragnar, on the other hand, could break through to the 2nd stage at any moment.
