Leveling Up with My Adorable Monster Girl Harem!

Chapter 111 The Oracle's Demand

Chapter 111: The Oracle's demand

"Why do you think I will listen to your request?" The Oracle glared at the fox woman.

Her hatred toward that girl who snatched the sun kept heightening. If it weren't for the fact that Amaterasu was actually sealed in Louise's heart, The Oracle would have used more means to punish that fox girl's bastard mouth. However, The Oracle soon understood that Amaterasu knew about that fact, too.

Sneering, Amaterasu lifted her chin and slightly tilted her little head, looking down at the woman sitting before her. "You want Leon to use his class to the fullest. He came here because he wanted answers to his questions and to get rid of the class that held him back. He doesn't enslave people en masse or mindlessly kill people to read their information. He's not grinding levels like The Human Emperor did!"

The Human Emperor enslaved people that he needed. For instance, if his forces needed a blacksmith, he caught dwarves and forced them to work without any questions. He focused on self-growth and the pursuit of his own powers and divine might that only the chosen humans could receive.

"Evolution!" Amaterasu stomped on the ground and took a few steps closer to the golden-haired woman. "It doesn't matter what schemes the world and those above us have prepared… People always progress! If five humans with peak humanity once again shall gather, it's only for the sake of evolution. Even if I am wrong, the point is still valid. You want Leon to use his class and cross paths with that human scum. You want him to bother The Human Emperor because that man will return. Someone has to take care of him while the other three do their stuff."

Because there were so many unknown variables, even Amaterasu started theorizing about the world's purpose. If The Human Emperor fell because of The Oracle, so did the other three. Her reaction to Leon's theory told the fox girl that he was right and that the other three were active, too.

But because the world never heard about them again, someone must keep them in check.

"You'll give him a feature to tailor his own class without your interference. That's the only way to keep Leon level up and have him as a significant part of this world. You'll also help Louise return to his side." Amaterasu stressed the last words, and before The Oracle responded, the fox woman hit her with her deal. "I'll not disclose any information I know about those five ancestors to him. Not at least until our next meeting."

She looked to the side, only to find Leon standing next to her. Even though she had taken steps, Leon was by her side, ready to share his view. And so he did, smiling and nodding.

He didn't mind not learning about those five ancestors if it meant that Louise would be by his side again. He also should receive a way to craft his own class connected to the system features, so it was a win-win for both Leon and Amaterasu. After all, it wasn't like he would never see her again in the future.

The Oracle's temple helped Amaterasu come out from the depths of Louise's heart, but it wasn't like this place was the only place capable of doing that. Moreover, Leon believed that nothing was impossible in this fantasy world, so there was a chance Louise would be able to bring Amaterasu out of her and give her a new life.

That was a nice concept.

And while these two looked into each other's eyes as though communicating that to each other, The Oracle found Amaterasu's bashful side unfit. She extended her hand as though summoning another golden beam, alerting the duo, then once she received their attention, The Oracle said her demands.

"Leon Blade must promise me he'll not research the other three for at least five hundred years. He must also swear an oath that, unless his or his beloveds' lives are threatened, he'll not run away from The Human Emperor's forces and interact with them. I also want him to not search for answers to his questions and let things flow naturally."

Leon nodded, feeling like those were once again fine.

Amaterasu felt great until she noticed the golden-haired woman's smirk. It was her turn to have some edge over the other party, exert pressure, and sow chaos!

The Oracle smiled without hiding her contempt. "You must agree to my terms, too, Amaterasu. It's fine, I know you can't do much because you are nothing more than a soul without a vessel. I request you to share a bit of your past with Leon Blade. And I mean your past — the girl who snatched the sun and the consequences of her actions!"

Amaterasu lost her smile and emotionlessly hovered her blue eyes on the golden-haired woman.

Leon took a peek at the fox girl's expression, recalling Louise's words. This girl had killed many humans by trapping them in the suns and tormenting them until their deaths! She destroyed the kingdoms and part of the world! She wasn't just a girl who hated The Oracle and was nice to him; she had many more masks.

In fact, Leon knew a Japanese proverb — People have three faces. The first face they show to the world. The second face they show to friends and family. The third face they never show anyone.

Leon was aware of his faces and expected to learn about his beloveds' masks once they became closer to each other. He would never force them to show the third face, and he applied that to Amaterasu.

She must have had her reasons to commit those mass deaths and more. Leon soon recalled Louise's words…

"What do you want me to talk about?" Amaterasu flatly asked, her eyes narrowed.

The Oracle smirked and shrugged. "How you have stolen the sun and Amaterasu's name for yourself and turned that seat empty for eras. What's the consequence of it?"

Amaterasu replied without any emotion. "Moon is stronger, and so its races. People who rely on the sun on have been wronged."

"Yes, your selfish action cost many lives and people's fortunes. Next, how about you tell Leon about your tribe and how you neglected them to the point that… they are now gone?"

Amaterasu clenched her little hands, glanced at Leon's face, then suddenly felt like her burden had disappeared from her heart.

All because Leon's eyes remained the same.
