Book 3: Chapter 81: Cute and Terror

Scarlet

Im quickly yanked out of the crazy ladys arms by my bodyguards who pull me into their midst while surrounding me as Vincent says with a hint of warning in his voice, Clan Head Amaterasu, please keep your impulses under control.

The woman pouts at me for a moment before turning her gaze to the guard, the gaze shifting to a cold one in the process that has shivers running down my spine. And when she speaks this time, I swear I hear thunder striking somewhere the moment the first word leaves her mouth, Duke Vincent Lacroix de Argus, I very well understand the consequences of going too far. Please mind your words when youre speaking to me. She then turns her gaze back to me, softening again in the process as she continues, And I know very well that I cant have the Princess, no matter how much that pains me.

I feel a shiver run down my spine. Again.

This woman is even more terrifying than her daughter. Can I go choose a different clan now?

They would take that as an offense, Tar comments, sounding slightly frightened himself.

Right. Of course they would.

And offending the woman who is even stronger than my own mother is not a good idea. Not as strong as Leonidas though, nor anywhere near as strong as Gramps.

Also, the leader of the Succubi Clan is only about a couple dozen levels below her anyways, Tar comments, giving me pause for a moment. And as for the oni clan, here if the demons lose control to their instincts all you have waiting for you is being hugged and treated like a dress-up doll. Over at the oni clan you could be killed if they lost control of their Wrath. Like that arachne did before.

Ugh. Youre right.

Doesnt mean I have to like this.

Maybe I shouldve gone to a different continent after all

The ghouls would eat you if they lost control, and the arachnae live in spiderwebs, Tar continues, crushing that thought. And unless you want to live in magma-filled volcanoes, I dont suggest the mindeaters. Those demons tend to live in caves.

Yeah, I doubt the mindeaters would be very happy to help me anyways considering that it would interrupt their sleep.

Although I just kind of thought that was because of coincidence. Since all Class II and above humanoid beings improve their appearance to what they and reality believe to be perfection for their body.

But the fact that theyre all cute girls without any that arent cute in particular.

Guess we found her Greeds fixation, Tar mutters, making me wish that I didnt look as I did.

Am I really cute though? I never really thought of myself as cute.

Cool, definitely. But not cute.

Tar snorts in my head without saying anything.

Hello?

He still doesnt say anything.

I hold myself back from crossing my arms under my chest and frowning. Specifically due to the pervert staring at me.

Well now that greetings are over with, Raiden Senior says with a light clap of her hands, apparently noticing that me and Tar are done talking considering her repeated looks towards the tanuki. That or she is just interested in him too since he is rather cute. A thought that has the tanuki shivering slightly on my shoulder. Lets head over to the hunting grounds, shall we little one?

Damnit, she thinks Im cute because Im short, doesnt she?!

Scarlet Tar mutters, only to sigh and not say anymore.

Wait, so thats not it?

He doesnt answer.
