The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?

After entering the royal city and easily dealing with the last seriously injured archbishop, Gray's mission in Westphalia was completely over, and it was about time to leave Westphalia for Demir.

He would leave the remaining matters of competing with the feudal kings and recommending Aliceville to the throne to the three Ten Shadow Attendants; he wouldn't waste any more time here.

Before leaving, Gray had one more thing to do.

As for whether this matter is troublesome or will take too much time, that depends on Ipsyron.

"Lord Demon Shadow..."

Ipsylon bowed respectfully, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Lord Shadow is about to leave, isn't he? Why did you seek me out alone before you left...?

To be honest, Ipsilon wasn't entirely without clues, but he felt that Lord Shadow must have something important to discuss with him, something crucial, and it couldn't possibly be what he was thinking...

“Ipsilon.” Gray’s eyes did not meet Ipsilon’s gaze directly, not with contempt, but rather with a hint of embarrassment and bewilderment.

For Gray, speaking his next words was far more difficult than slaying a few more angels and demons.

"You probably haven't heard about the summons, but I won't go into detail here. You can ask Beta and Delta for more details later."

There was something important to discuss, but it was only this much, a summons no different from that given to the other ten Shadow Attendants.

What Gray really wanted to say was his reply to Ipsilon, which had been delayed for over three hundred chapters. (See Chapter 98 for details)

Gray said he would give her an answer, whether she refused or not, he would at least give her an answer.

Gray initially planned to avoid talking about it. As long as Ipsilon stopped coming to press him for answers, he would pretend that nothing had happened and that Ipsilon's confession had never occurred.

But this is still not good. Gray's previous hesitation was because he hadn't opened his mind. Although he was forced to have a flirtatious relationship with the pink-haired succubus, he hadn't discussed the harem with his fiancée, Eiota.

Now, it can be said that he has long since obtained his fiancée's permission, has had sexual experience with Beta, Delta, Theta, and Capa, and has also made an agreement with Alpha, Gamma, and Whitescale.

Honestly, we already have eight, so one more wouldn't make much difference.

The pressure on the kidneys seems to be that as long as they're not facing a pink-haired succubus, it doesn't matter how many there are, since the nV1 multi-P mode hasn't been unlocked yet.

The answer is yes.

Just uttering five words made Gray feel a huge weight lifted off his shoulders.

However, the vague words left Ipsyron's mind blank for a moment.

can?

What can?

What can I do?

Ipsilon frantically searched his mind for the ambiguous object that Gray referred to, but couldn't find what Gray meant. Because he thought it was a very serious matter, he hadn't considered it as a response to the confession from the beginning.

Seeing that Ipsilon had not responded for a long time, Gray also remained silent.

The atmosphere became extremely awkward.

The deathly silence was broken only when Ipsilon spoke.

"Lord Shadow Demon, forgive my ignorance, but may I ask..."

"Yes... for what kind of permission?"

Gray was speechless for a moment.

Yeah, you're being so vague, who knows what you're talking about!

Gray took a deep breath.

Directly stating the truth is too difficult for him, so he chooses to hint indirectly. Even if it's very explicit, it's no different from being direct. Gray won't choose to be direct; he'll just give a hint indirectly!

“Have Beta and Delta told you about my current relationship with them?” Gray asked.

Normally, Gray wouldn't want any of the Ten Shadows to go around talking about their relationships with other people.

Because it feels like a scumbag who had a harem being publicly executed...

But now Gray desperately wanted Beta or Delta to talk to Ipsilon more, so that Ipsilon might immediately understand what he was talking about.

Ipsyron pressed his lips together, his expression somber.

Clearly, based on Ipsyron's performance...

At least one of those two must have been a chatterbox!

“Yes, I heard it from Beta…” Ipsyron said weakly.

Gray's face broke into a menacing smile: "Yes, you heard it from Beta, right? What did she say?"

"Uh..." Judging from Gray's expression, Ipsilon knew that Beta was probably "doomed." Ipsilon was also angry at Beta for showing off, and since he hadn't exaggerated but had just stated the facts, Ipsilon didn't hesitate to betray Beta.

"She said you, her, Delta, Capa, Sita, and Iota all..."

"cough……"

Gray let out a muffled sigh.

I knew Beta was talkative, but I didn't expect him to be this talkative!

Anyway...

Gray turned his head away somewhat awkwardly: "You can guess what it is. If what we said before still applies, the answer is yes."

Ipsilon finally understood what Gray was talking about.

This is a response to a confession!

Ipsyron was stunned.

"Can...is it okay?"

Seeing her like this, Gray wondered if he had been too shameless.

Why is it acting like a grand selection of concubines when they've already started building a harem?

Gray was prepared to be yelled at by Ipsilon as "shameless!"

Then I saw Ipsyron unconsciously raise her hand and pinch her pretty face hard.

"pain!!!!"

Gray said somewhat helplessly, "Of course it will hurt if you use that much force."

“But this is really…” Ipsilon stammered, “I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it, it’s just a very real dream, I can’t wake up by pinching my face…”

Seeing Ipsilon's reaction, Gray didn't seem disgusted; instead, he was so agitated that he began to question reality.

In that case, I can understand that the confession still counts, and that I have agreed to it, right?

In the past, Gray wouldn't have been able to take the initiative, but now he's made up his mind to be nicer to the girls who support him and to be more proactive.

and so……

Gray took a huge risk, stepped forward, and grabbed Ipsyron's soft waist, who was questioning her life.

Ipsilon collapsed into Gray's arms, breathing heavily.

"Well……"

The next time we meet will be when the call to arms is issued.

It will probably take quite some time before I can resolve the issues with Demiller and Shad Munting, and then gather the Ten Shadow Attendants together.

And after the summons is issued, one must devote oneself wholeheartedly to exploring the [Celestial Realm] and the solution to the problem of the hero.

We don't have much time for sweet nothings.

therefore……

Gray said in a low voice, "If you'd like, I can leave behind an oath and proof."

Ipsyron was completely limp, only able to utter words.

"Your subordinate... begs for your favor, Lord Shadow..."
