"Master... do the young ladies all have a relationship with you?"
Chunji's soft voice came from beside her, and the watery light in her eyes was both pitiful and captivating.
Is this the true meaning of "Cheers with your eyes"?
"Not."
Eugene's answer was unexpected: "It's not related to me, but rather to you, Haruhime, it has a very... important relationship." "Huh?" "Huh?"
Chunji and Aisha both expressed their doubts at the same time.
"What are you talking about?" Aisha said, clearly annoyed. "Isn't this the first time these women have gotten together like this?"
"Miss Aisha, you've come to persuade me to give up the idea of redeeming Haruhime, haven't you?"
"Because the Ishtar Familia will never allow Haruhime to leave, right?"
Eugene's words interrupted Aisha, who shuddered, clearly realizing he had been right.
"Why do you know?"
“You can’t imagine how many secrets I know,” Eugene laughed.
Although I am here, my understanding of the plot is like having a god's-eye view.
In this age of limited information, Eugene knows everything that seems unbelievable to others.
"Haruhime is not the most popular courtesan, but her status is more important than all the other courtesans because of her unique magic."
"For the selfish desires of your supreme god, the Ishtar Familia will wage war against the Freya Familia. In this process, Haruhime's power will be indispensable, right?"
"You! How could you..." Aisha and Lina's expressions changed drastically at the same time, and the others who heard this shocking news also gaped open and their eyes widened in shock.
If it's true, it will cause a huge uproar!
The plot in the anime is straightforward, but at this moment it is the Ishtar Familia's top secret plan, so when Eugene, an outsider, reveals it, the shock is even stronger.
"I told you, the secrets I possess are beyond your comprehension."
His tone shifted, and his eyes turned cold:
"I don't care who your clans want to fight or kill."
He then turned to Chun Ji: "But Chun Ji is the woman I have set my sights on. I cannot watch her die because of your foolish god, and I cannot accept her being used as a tool."
Die, props.
The moment those two words were uttered, Lina and Aisha realized that Eugene even knew about the "Killing Stone" ritual.
Because "Level Up" can only be used on one person and cannot influence the outcome of a battle.
Therefore, Ishtar racked his brains and found a way to allow multiple people to improve at the same time.
That is to seal Chun Ji's (fox demon) soul 4.1 into a strange stone (Sesshoseki) in the Far East, and then pulverize it and distribute it to everyone.
In this way, injecting magic can trigger a level upgrade.
The price to pay for this is that Haruhime's soul can never be restored.
She will be killed on the altar, and even in death she will become a cold tool until her consciousness is extinguished in eternal darkness.
Damn! What a waste! No, what a cruel thing to do! Ishtar, that awful, wicked woman!
When Eugene watched it, he was indignant.
In short, he had to save Chun Ji.
He not only wants to save Chun-hee, but also Ai-sha, this bodhisattva!
No matter what kind of pit of fire lies ahead, as long as Niu Niu remains steadfast, he will not give up on any girl!
I want everything the protagonist has, and I want even more things the protagonist doesn't have!
Sleep first, then save; Niu Niu Diao Diao (third tone).
This is the Bull Demon King!
54. Besides being rich, having a great figure, and having a fearless bull, what else are you?
(Level Upgrade 'Treasure Hammer')
“I’m telling you right now, I’m taking Chun Ji with me, and the gods can’t stop me, I’m telling you.”
There was silence.
Despite the awkwardness of misusing Nick Cheung's lines, Eugene managed to keep his expression from crumbling.
But his two big toes kept picking at themselves.
“Master…” Chunji’s eyelashes trembled, startled, but a smile quietly curved her lips.
In this era named after the gods, no one dared to defy them.
Yet Eugene made such a bold statement for her.
This brought endless warmth and comfort back into Chun-hime's cold heart, which had already accepted the inevitable death.
Her gaze toward Eugene deepened, and her calm, resolute demeanor instilled a profound sense of peace.
"...Anyone can say nice things, but when it comes to actually doing them, their true colors will be revealed."
In the end, it still comes down to Aisha.
Unbeknownst to Chunji, she had actually helped her once.
Aisha was severely punished for breaking the Killing Stone on her own, thus disrupting the planned ritual.
She was beaten to the point of near death by the level 5 guild leader, and then bewitched by Ishtar to the point of mental breakdown, leaving her unable to muster any more thoughts of resistance.
She knew all too well how difficult it would be to liberate Chun-hee.
Therefore, I especially hate those who only talk big!
"I understand you, and I thank you."
Eugene knew of Aisha's suffering and respected her courage.
"But the reason you failed was because you lacked strength and thought too much."
Perhaps due to time constraints, Aisha had no choice but to destroy the Killing Stone.
But judging from her later public persona, perhaps she really did it on a whim.
After all, the Amazons are all about martial prowess, and their cunning is truly appalling.
Aisha narrowed her long, beautiful eyes: "So, you have a solution?"
As soon as the solution was mentioned, those who knew Eugene immediately realized that he was leading them by the nose again.
"I may not be very talented, but I do have a way."
"Hmph, if you fail, you will die." Aisha was skeptical, after all, Eugene was not a member of the Familia, and if he was killed, he would only be fined some money.
"How about we reconsider how to escape?"
Eugene chuckled: "Don't worry, one method is enough."
His inexplicably confident attitude left the straightforward Aisha speechless. Who do you think you are, bro?
Besides being rich, good-looking, and having a great physique, and a fearless bull, what else do you have? You even have the nerve to post this here?
Eugene noticed her doubts, but said nothing.
The story of the Ishtar Familia takes place in the second season of the anime, which is two months away from the current timeline.
He doesn't need to rush to prove himself.
"By the way, sir," Chunji said, touched, "you just said that all the young ladies here are connected to me."
"What's your relationship?" she asked, blinking her bright green eyes.
"..." Everyone turned their attention to this.
Right? What's their relationship?
"Of course, we're sisters in a harem!" Eugene thought to himself, but he couldn't say it aloud.
“Chun-hee is an important part of my plan, and I cannot save her without any one of you. Therefore, your relationship with her is closer than mine.”
A Scumbag's Guide to Conversation: Ambiguous Statements and Misleading!
Putting the facts aside, what matters is the conveyance of emotions!
By leveraging girls' emotional intelligence, conflicts can be resolved subtly!
Oh~~~~~
Just as Eugene had predicted, the girls' expressions were a mixture of sudden realization and a touch of emotion.
The atmosphere immediately became much warmer.
The harem is harmonious, and the plan is going smoothly! Eugene once again gave himself a thumbs up.
However, jokes aside, serious matters still need to be addressed.
After all, that one-eyed master craftsman is still eagerly awaiting the brand-new version of materials that Eugene promised.
"It's almost time..."
Eugene stood up and picked Chunji up in his arms.
Elbow, follow me into the house!
"Oh, oh!? Master?" Surprised by the sudden intimacy, Chunji shyly covered her face.
"Everyone's watching..."
Yes, I wouldn't feel at ease if no one was watching over me.
Eugene winked at the three female bodyguards, then turned and disappeared into the inner room.
Although Liu and the others blushed slightly, they still agreed.
Eugene had already discussed this with them on the way here.
As for the reasons, ask less and do more.
If you do it a lot, maybe he'll tell you?
