Demon Lord: Erotic Adventure in Another World

Chapter 117: Delinquent Helping Aria and Ryo!

Ryuji and Yumiko remained quite close until their time for training. Erika showed a little jealousy at first, but seeing the happiness of Yumiko she no longer cared. Because he always made them both satisfied. After breakfast, the two women left to train against Kathryn and the maids while Ryuji waited because he wanted to meet Alan.

It was during this period that Ryuji bumped into Alan in the hallway. Though he noticed Alan seemed a little rushed.

"Alan? Are you alright?"

"Ah, sorry, I'm a bit busy right now."

"Well... is there any problem?" Ryuji's keen eyes soon noticed Alan's neck looked bruised, and it made him feel irritated.

"Your neck--"

"Oh yes, Ryuji, I need you to do me a favour!" Alan's loud voice interrupted Ryuji's comment, causing him to feel worried, but when Alan asked for a favour, he couldn't help it.

"What's the matter?"

"Akari and Ryo need to visit a dungeon for their monthly quota...." Alan looked regretful as he turned to look at them, waiting down the hall in basic armour and carrying their usual gear. "Because they work as my servants, despite being heroes, they are exempt from visiting the dungeons every week and attending training as long as they keep working and clear one dungeon a month."

"And since I was so busy there isn't time for me to take them, so I can't ask for anyone to accompany them right now..."

Ryuji understood that since helping him, Alan had become busier than ever. He thought about the situation with Liana and wondered if the bruises might be about himself or something Ryuji did.

"Of course, I said I would help them anyway. What's the Rank?"

"Ah, don't worry! Just a D-Rank should be easy for you, right? Thanks, Ryuji; I would die with you." Alan's eyes showed a strange sparkle before he patted Ryuji's shoulder and walked towards his private room.

"Wait, Alan!"

"H-Hmm?"

"Take care of yourself more. If you ever need help, just ask me." Ryuji smiled, watching Alan hesitate briefly before nodding with a wry smile as he walked away.

Ryuji turned away and walked towards Ryo and Akari. The pair of them looked at him with awkward faces, but he greeted them with a smile.

"Ryuji! You look amazing, man." Ryo showed a grin, holding the meat cleaver that he got from helping him and Yumiko in the past.

"Yeah... did you start working out even more? You seem taller and more buff... Kinda scary... haha." Akari said with a nervous face, her eyes avoiding Ryuji's body.

"Haha, well, let's just say I'm a growing boy, okay? Let's get going so you don't have to worry anymore." Ryuji grinned and tried to keep the conversation polite without minding her comment as he picked up his large bastard sword.

Ryuji led the group and headed to the dungeon bazaar. He wondered if anyone would remember the issue he caused a few weeks ago. The reality was yes—the knights who saw Ryuji approaching stopped laughing and joking and became quiet, looking away as if scared mice.

However, Saki looked at him with the most dreamy eyes, her neck still chained, but her brunette hair seemed more glossy, and she no longer had bruises on her body as Ryuji walked over.

"Who is that beast woman?" Ryo whispered to Akari.

"I don't know, ask Ryuji?"

He stroked the short beastkin's head, her lips releasing the cutest sound as she tried to flail and get him to stop. "Yah.... Ryuji stop it's going to mess my hair... your hands are so huge... it hurts!!"

"Haha, Saki, you look as cute as ever, sorry that Yumi isn't available today. How have you been?" Ryuji seemed to have a soft spot for that kind of Yumiko or Erika. Thus, his face looked rather soft and calm, making the people around him feel confused at the knight's reactions.

"Mm, I see, but that's okay! Do you need any information today? I haven't seen you in a while, and the knights wouldn't speak to me, so I worried..."

Ryuji turned to Ryo and put his hand on his chest, "Ryo, can you get Saki something to eat and drink? You can get something packed for the dungeon, too, but make sure it's the best quality food. Okay?"

"Uh... Sure, Ryuji!." Ryo nodded, grabbing the coins, which came to over thirty silver.

"Wait a minute, Ryo--!?" Saki's eyes widened as she looked at the chubby hero leaving.

"We're having the regular set of sandwiches from last time!" Akari grabbed the boy's arm, and he pulled him, making the beastwoman wonder what was going on as Ryuji smiled at her softly.

"You look hungry, and there's no food waste or drinks here. Did your master start treating you well for a short time because of what happened but slowly return to normal?" Ryuji questioned calmly, noticing her ears hanging as he stroked her ears and chuckled, making Saki release an irresistible voice as she grabbed his fingers and gripped them.

"How did you know...?"

"Saki, everyone can tell based on your body. Your bruises went away, and even your body seems bigger... is it because someone's feeding you properly and giving you the supplements needed for a few weeks? However, it seems those benefits stopped in the past few days. So, I will start visiting every morning."

Ryuji released a charming smile and lifted Saki by her waist. The beast woman became agitated and had no way to refuse since her tail began to wag, and her eyes brightened with Ryuji's touch.

He was a handsome young man, and he treated her like an actual woman, not some disgusting beast... of course, she wouldn't dislike it for real.

"I know if I give you money, your master will take it, so until I can manage to buy you from that guy. At least I'll make sure you eat well."

"Hmm... you fool, Yumiko is going to beat you; such a sweet gesture, what an evil man.." Saki muttered, but her fingers stroked his palm. To Ryuji, she felt like a little sister to him, and thus, he decided not to cause more trouble and to save her legitimately.

"Maybe after I win the tournament... I will set you free, little Saki."

"Fool, treating me like a child when you're so much younger...!"

"Then, are you a mature woman then? Haha."

"Ahh! Such a brute, I'll bite your fingers off!"

The two started playing as the small beastkin climbed over his body. Ryuji caught sight of a lovely elf with green hair in the distance. She looked a little lost after speaking to several parties... then. They met eyes!

"Oh, it really was Alicia!"
