This woman is really too much. She already pulled off a trapeze act for him earlier, who knows what kind of stunt she'll pull this time.
Working as a security guard, he beat up his boss before anything even happened; the loser genius really lived up to his reputation...
He sat on the sofa with Lily in his arms, gesturing for everyone to come closer.
"Ah~ It's pleasing to the eye."
I intended to start with a serious tone, but my true thoughts just slipped out.
Surrounded by catgirls, athletic high school girls, elves, and legal lolis, this is an experience I could never have in my past life!
"Boss, can't you tone it down a bit, meow?"
Although everyone complained, they had gotten used to Eugene's personality.
Sniff.
But just then, Ryu, who had gotten closer, noticed something was amiss.
The elf's senses allowed her to easily distinguish many scents.
This naturally includes rouge and face powder.
She frowned slightly, her tone tentative: "Why do you smell so much like... a woman?"
"Oh?" Eugene's expression was amused. "You can even tell the difference?"
“The scent of a girl is different from the scent of a woman.” Ryu’s eyes were serious.
Seeing that Eugene showed no sign of denying it, Ryu immediately realized that this guy was philandering again.
Her brows furrowed, her expression gradually darkened, and she reverted to the disdainful look that masochists love.
"This guy's skin is thicker than a city wall, meow!"
"Exactly, exactly, taking two beautiful girls to the red-light district, Ryu, can you believe it!?"
Seeing that the conversation had reached this point, Kroy and Noruva immediately got excited, taking turns to criticize Eugene mercilessly.
“…Mr. Eugene.” Ryu’s face trembled as he listened to Eugene’s glorious deeds from the previous night.
"You are really, really bad as a man!!"
"Wow, that's outrageous!" Eugene cried out, "At least add 'character' as a prefix!"
You can call me scum, but you can't say I'm bad!
Ryu didn't understand the difference between the two, but the truth was, she had really lost hope in Eugene.
No, why should I have any hope for him!
Ryu was surprised by her own disappointment. When did the two of them become so close? They even had to pry into each other's private lives?
As the saying goes, concern leads to confusion; the more you care about someone, the more you want them to be well.
Miss Elf had no idea that she had fallen into Eugene's trap!
"Lord Eugene, don't mind her! Lily likes Lord Eugene the most!"
"Little sister, don't fall for it! This guy will eat all your bone fragments!"
"That's right, meow! We can't be fooled by his advances, meow!"
"..."
Eugene's lips curled into a smile as he looked at the noisy girls in front of him.
Let's call this the harem (not really)?
If there weren't those persistent guys chasing after you, a slice-of-life romance story wouldn't be a bad idea either.
Unfortunately, no if.
Since we've started, we should see it through to the end.
Snapped!
With a crisp clap, the scene immediately fell silent.
All eyes turned to Eugene, who was smiling.
He seemed no different from usual, still dashing and exuding a flamboyant charm.
But in that atmosphere, everyone could feel the will deep within his eyes.
The heartwarming (?) daily life is about to end.
It's time to prepare for war.

(Lily: Hehehe!)
A round of applause rang out.
The girls' attention was all focused on Eugene.
He leaned forward slightly, his expression calm, but his attitude serious.
"Thank you for gathering here and spending these unforgettable days with me."
A deep, unfathomable will flickered in the man's golden eyes.
"However, the time is almost up."
“My plan is basically complete, and Tripoli, or Triton, has reached its limit of tolerance.”
"In the next couple of days, things will come to a close between him and me."
"Although I invited three people to protect me, it was ultimately just a verbal agreement."
"I have neither the reason to force you to fight, nor the right to detain you."
"Here, I leave the final choice to you."
"Will you stay with me, or will you leave?"
The scene was quiet for a while.
Terry would hire a Level 5 to back him up, something Eugene had already emphasized from the beginning.
Even those at level 4 present were in mortal danger during the battle.
Because the battlefield is always changing rapidly, and the weaker side has to bear more risks than the stronger side.
Chloe, Noru, and Ryu joined the abundant mistress because they were tired of fighting and killing.
Forcing them into a fight based solely on money is not a valid argument.
"I'm in." It was Ryu who spoke first, as expected.
Her eyes were calm, and her spirited brows held a resolute determination: "Tedo has trampled on Lady Astrea's mercy, and I will not let him go no matter what."
"Even if I can no longer claim to be righteous, I will still preserve the traces left by the adults."
"Therefore, even when facing a formidable enemy, I will never back down."
The apostles of the goddess of justice will bravely advance no matter what kind of evil they face.
Upright and unyielding—while this description of a woman might seem a bit harsh, Ryu is indeed that stubborn, like a sword that sweeps away darkness for a goddess.
“Ah, Lily, you don’t need to say anything.” Eugene noticed the girl’s hesitation and smiled.
"Your magic is also part of my plan; it's indispensable."
His words immediately reassured Lily; she was willing to do anything to help Eugene.
That leaves only two people.
Eugene's gaze fell on Chloe and Noruva.
Unlike Ryu and Lily, the two of them did not have a position that required them to participate in the war.
You can't expect a stray cat or bird that you temporarily adopt to clear obstacles for you when you need it.
They were originally lone wolves wandering the world, and their stay with the wealthy mistress was only out of necessity (Mia's mother's iron fist warning).
However, after spending a few days together, Eugene was confident.
Every step he takes is carefully considered.
"Ah~~"
The one who sighed was Chloe.
"If I could, I'd really like to refuse you, boss."
Her words caused the expressions of the others to change, including the hesitant Noruva.
As a professional assassin, Chloe excels at infiltration and espionage.
This process requires relatively rigorous logical thinking.
Of all these people, Chloe's mind works the fastest.
She glanced at the smiling Eugene with a hint of displeasure, her beautiful face showing a clear understanding of his pretense.
"Boss, even though you're a lecher, you've always been very kind to the cats."
"The cats won't refuse a normal request."
"But we've only known each other for a few days, and you expect everyone to risk their lives for you? That just doesn't make sense, does it?"
Her words represented her stance, and there was nothing wrong with them.
We're friends, so doing what we can is fine, but going to great lengths is really going too far.
Because there was nothing wrong with what he said, no one could say anything to refute it.
At that moment, Chloe spoke again, her tone suddenly changing.
"But in other words, as long as you are confident enough to consider the cats' well-being and not put us at too much risk, then it's not impossible for you to help us."
She snorted and pointed directly at Eugene's nose, saying bluntly, "You wicked fellow, you knew I'd say that!"
"You're still hiding things, how are you going to get people to believe you, meow!"
Eugene always had a convincing ability, and every step he took seemed to be purposeful.
