Summoner: Monster Girl Harem!

Chapter 140 [Bonus ] 10: Home!

'She's cute in her weird way, but if she threatens my women and me, I won't just defeat her,' A fierce flame erupted from his red eyes, and his body seemed to slowly match his wrath form after the half a year he grew to 6ft 7 inches tall and horns were always displayed, just a little smaller. 'I will destroy her.'

On the way along the street, many people commented on his looks; some felt fear yet a sense of deep curiosity.

However, most concluded he was a demon, and Vincent would never correct them as this was the race that appeared on any analysis device. 'Some fear me, others lust after my body, yet the kind merchants only smile and welcome my coins. I am happy to see these greedy bastards.'

"Raizel, will you remind me to look after Scarlet and her group? I made too many relationships with women and need someone I trust to help me care for them. You can pick a few other girls to help; a man should always pay his romantic debts with utmost haste."

Her little lips pouted for a moment before she elbowed him, "what about the cute little spears' romantic debts?" she muttered, hoping he didn't hear.

Only to feel his powerful thumb stroke the back of her soft hand, followed by a gentle whisper that sent his hot sweet breath down her neck and cheeks, "I will love her for the rest of my life and never forget my debts to her are eternal."

'Master!'

Her little face flushed deep red, this man was so cheeky to her, always making her blush and embarrassed! He would say things that Raizel had no defence to, even more now that she was not fully used to this body, the brushing against her ears caused her to feel shocks down her spine before his actions dealt a killing blow to her heart.

Raizel could feel her Master's thoughts and grasped his hand tightly, also vowing to become stronger to support and heal him after the future's battles. 'There will be more Daemons to fight, smarter, more cunning. I shall support and protect Master with my very soul!'

"Raizel, your kiss tasted like a black cherry gateau; they were delicious."

Her body trembled before she rubbed herself against him with a delighted grin. These feelings were new, almost overwhelming her with the good and the bad; worrying for him these past seven months, seeing him being lazy and putting off important things caused her to worry and stress.

'Now I can finally taste the sweet honey of my reward! Hehe~'

Vincent also let out a rare chuckle, the deep sound charming and easy on the ears as many turned to his figure and smiled. Honestly, this man's emotions and actions seemed infectious before his arm wrapped around Raizel's lower back and guided her back towards the slums.

"Raizel, shall we slowly continue home? Let's enjoy the slow walk home together."

They passed through the slums, where he had started his journey, 'I remember playing here, "protecting" luna, felia and Odette from pretend enemies and some petty thieves.' He took a deep breath and moved forwards with a steady pace to match Raizel's tiny legs. The smell of sewage and garbage still hung heavy in the air. But it no longer seemed as oppressive as it had before. He had faced much worse in the dungeon.

As they passed through the merchant quarter, Vincent couldn't help but notice how the people looked at him.

These people were similar to the ones earlier; most merchants looked fearful for a moment as demons were synonymous with death or war. Once he gave them a gentle smile and wave, they would fix their posture and give a bow or mouth an apology welcoming him to their store in the future, 'I am glad that merchants are so transparent in their desires. Unlike other people, money and profits are their driving forces.'

Vincent passed Scarlet's inn and heard a few interesting rumours.

"Did you hear? The head of the von Conzellmann house is gathering troops to attack a rebel!"

"Oh? I heard he would punish the boy who impregnated his daughter!"

"Haha, a mere slum boy seems to have fucked her real good, so bad she abandoned her fiancé, who then killed himself and most of his family!"

"That woman, Scarlet, is becoming more feminine and pretty recently, right?"

"..."

He passed by the rabble and smiled; it seemed that life didn't wait for anyone, Astaroth, the daemon princes, Odette's father. 'So many fun things to do, people to kill!' His eyes lit with flames as he gripped the cute Raizel's hand; the small drill-haired girl only delighted at this date-like experience.

With a vengeful heart, Vincent made his way home. His house was more prominent than most in the slums but still a little weathered, but it was all he had. He needed to rest, to heal, to think. He knew the fight with Astaroth was not over, but he also knew he would not lose. He had faced the darkness and come out the other side, and he would do it again, no matter what it took.

The familiar sight of his childhood home became visible in the distance as he looked around to see many of the old shops and stores now border up and probably filled with homeless people, the kind old lady who gave them sweets for cheap, or the old baker who would make decent bread despite his poor ingredients and stove.

'Nostalgia hurts when the things you remember are gone...' Vincent thought.

Raizel looked at him, her eyes filled with admiration and respect. "Master, we are finally home!" she said. "I'll be here with you every step of the way."

Vincent gave her a small smile, grateful for her support. He knew he would need it if he hoped to survive the coming days. He turned his gaze back to the city of Verina, now seen through different eyes, knowing that he must be ready for whatever might come next.

'Be prepared, people of Verina, for soon you might just be under a new master's ownership.'
