Chapter 228 228 - Celebration
Nodding his head, he said, "Now that that's decided, let's go back to the village."
The speed at which things happened within the Silvermoon family was astonishing. With just a few messages from Rin, family employees came to the moon palace to transport the ores and items that were near the portal and send them to the new warehouse that was still being prepared.
All this in less than an hour, considering how long it took for Ryan and Rin to have sex. As the two walked through the palace, they noticed several women wearing suits and silver medals from the Silvermoon family.
"These are the girls from the Silvermoons' special operations division, they're our best soldiers," said Rin, who pointed at the girls. Next to the women in suits were women in simpler artisan clothes, like the ones Arthemis would wear on a daily basis.
Turning to the other group of girls, Rin continued her explanation, "Those are ordinary family employees. They're being watched while they work, to prevent any information from leaking out or any spying from taking place."
Ryan was surprised by the family's strategy, but what struck him most was that all the family employees were women. Walking towards the portal, Ryan asked his wife this question.
"They're all women, why is that?" he asked. The girl put one of her fingers on her chin, and tapping it twice she thought of the answer, "To tell you the truth, I don't know. But I think it must be because the Moon Palace is the matriarch's home. Having a man here would be weird, but I've never seen many men working for the family.... I'd better ask my mother," she said, until she stopped in front of the portal.
Turning his back, he watched the girls at work, "Good work to you, thank you for your support" he said. The family employees were embarrassed, while others looked admiringly at Ryan.
Seconds later, his body was crossing that dimensional rift that connected two worlds. As soon as his footsteps touched the floor of the other world, Ryan's ears instantly began to pick up that delicious melody.
The sound of flutes and a guitar, as well as some drumming. The girls from the village were celebrating with music from the desert region but also with some elven flute details. It was a daring combination, just like what Ryan was doing with the village.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"They're having fun," said Ayumi, who was leaning against the portal support. Rin made her way to the village, while Ryan stopped for a moment to talk to the kitsune.
"In a way, it's good that the village's tune is flowing well," he said, his red eyes glowing in the middle of the night. Like a monster, he emitted an intense light no matter what time of day it was, and this unexpected detail surprised Ayumi.
"Did you already know this was going to happen?" The fox girl asked, leaving him a little confused. Before Ryan could speak again, she continued, "Did you want to build a village?"
This question was a little more complex than he had expected. Crossing his arms, Ryan looked up as he opened his demon system, "It's been a few months since I've been able to evolve my skills much. Quests are slow to appear and my level ups are based solely on expanding my harem. I thought about it and I think I've found the answer," he said.
The cold night wind flowed across the island, moving the trees and grass. That swaying sound mingled with the voices of the village women singing in a single tone, but for Ayumi, it was as if only Ryan could catch her attention.
"No matter which path I take, if I want to become a demon lord, I need a region to make my own. Nyx has told me this dozens of times, but my strength depends on the reputation I have. The more women who love me, the stronger I become..."
Holding out his hand, Ryan clenched his fists as if he were reaching for the stars. Realizing his childish gesture, he put both hands inside his trouser pockets and walked down the road that led to the village. "Come on, the village should be cozy," he said as he nodded.
In the center of the main square, Brigitte and Pharah were drinking alcohol while trying to chat. Maki and Rin seemed to be understanding each other a lot, they both understood the elvish language.
Toki and Pona were running around, playing with the village girls, while Aiden was playing his guitar with the rest of the village women. The peasants were sitting on some chairs, some playing cards while others just chatted after a long day's work.
Even some of the maids had moved closer to the village. As soon as Ryan appeared, the maids stood up and began to return to their posts. Nodding his head, he said, "Just have fun, you don't have to worry about it".
This message was comforting to the girls, some of whom sat down instantly out of tiredness while others just headed for the food. Ryan didn't want that moment to be ruined by formalities, after all, those maids were still women who could begin to belong to their people.
Taking a seat at the table where Rin and Maki were chatting, Ryan asked for a beer. Four maids nodded and ran off towards the bar, each of them returning with two gigantic glass mugs. Staring at the table with wide eyes, Ryan swallowed his own saliva.
Eight pints of beer, each with at least a liter of alcohol. Before he could stop to take a drink, Toki and Pona appeared in front of the table. Opening their hands, each girl grabbed a mug, they downed that alcohol in seconds and then ran back through the village.
"Ah..." Ryan said.
Nyx appeared next to him, taking a seat in the vacant chair, "They're dwarfs, it's obvious that would happen," said the succubus, with a wry smile.
"If you keep doing this smuf face, I'll have to kiss you," he said. Reaching out, Ryan pulled the succubus's face to his, their tongues intertwining as he ran his hand up Nyx's thigh.
"That's not fair, I want it too," said Maki.
"I'll take another round," Rin replied, placing her hand on Ryan's leg.
Looking at the two girls and three girls, he stood up quickly. His chair was thrown back, hitting the table he picked up the six mugs that were still there.
'Alcohol doesn't work on me, but that doesn't matter' he said, then turned over two mugs at once.
"YEEEHAA, RYAN YOU KNOW HOW TO PARTY" Brigitte shouted, then she ran over to the table to drink too.
One mug after another, Ryan, Brigitte, Toki and Pona competed to see who could consume the most alcohol. Curious, Rin, Maki and Pharah also began to join in the fun.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven with her incredible magic skills and superior magical ability, Rin was extremely weak when it came to drinking. The girl's cheeks quickly became flushed as her body began to lose strength.
She could easily use a detox spell, but then the fun of getting drunk wouldn't be there. Brigitte had already consumed a lot of alcohol, so she was no longer in the best possible position to stay in the competition, and after another ten liters of beer she fell to the ground sleepily.
Maki followed, elves have a great resistance to alcohol, as their longer lives mean that large quantities of drink are like nothing else. Even so, she fell asleep a few minutes after Brigitte.
Pharah didn't seem to have a limit for alcohol, she kept drinking without worrying.
"That way you'll win," said Ryan with a smile.
"Win what?" replied the warrior, who didn't seem to understand.
"Who drinks the most alcohol?"
"Ah... I'm just keeping up with you. I just like to compete in duels," she said.
Ryan looked at the girl in confusion, but only agreed.
***
As the night wore on, the girls from the village slowly returned home. Ryan carried Brigitte, Aiden, Maki, Toki, Rin and Pona to the house that had been prepared for him. With Pharah's help, this task was much easier than he had imagined.
Walking through the village, Ryan watched the sun rise over the second world. Slowly, that light took over the village while a warmth warmed his face. There was no sign of the alcohol on Ryan, which made him a little angry with his own powers.
"Come on... It's not so bad being unable to get drunk," said Nyx, who appeared next to Ryan.
"Using alcohol to excess isn't ideal for your body, you should be grateful for that," said Lux, who appeared on the other side.
An intense fog covered the lower part of the island, it was as if Ryan could walk through that white veil until he reached the sun. Sighing, he said, "I'll cast detox magic on Rin, as soon as she wakes up, our plan begins."
