Chapter 492 – Convocation

“Welcome, master!”
When I returned home with Chaos, Suni welcomed me.
“Are you coming? What about Celestia?”
“I’ll be at the pool.”
The swimming pool was at the back of the house.
Since moving in here, I have never used the swimming pool. Should I say that I didn’t have time for that because I was living in a virtual reality capsule.
When I go out to the terrace at the back of the house, I see a huge lake that could be considered a sea, sparkling in the sunlight and giving me a beautiful view.
And a huge city floating above it. Zephia.
I knew the sun was fake, but I had no choice but to admit that it was creating a nice landscape.
A beautiful woman with a noble appearance can be seen lying diagonally on a sunbed in the swimming pool and admiring the scenery.
The one-piece swimsuit that clung to her skin showed off her well-toned body.
She was a beautiful woman, over 2 meters tall, but her proportions and balance were so good that she didn’t feel out of place.
I called her name.
“Celestia.”
Celestia glanced at me and opened her mouth.
“Is it Unho? It’s hard to see his face these days.”
“Did you miss me?”
“No.”
“…”
Celestia’s swimsuit and skin were moist and radiating luster.
It looks like I was swimming a little while ago.
Swimming in the pool…
He seems to be adapting well to an unfamiliar environment that is completely different from the Great Devil Castle.
“Would you like me to at least apply sunscreen?”
I asked as I sat down on the sunbed next to Celestia.
“Sunscreen? What’s the meaning of that? There’s no way that fake sunlight could affect us.”
Celestia is not wrong.
Even if we sit in a pit of fire, we will be fine.
Still…
“There is no romance.”
“…?”
Celestia looks like she doesn’t understand what I’m saying at all.
She didn’t seem interested in things like relationships between men and women to begin with.
Is it because I’ve been living as a great devil for so long? Or perhaps she was originally a devil with such tendencies, I don’t know…
Unlike in the distant past when she was hungry, I had no desire to actively do anything to her because I had a rich harem.
Should I say that she didn’t have time for that during that time…
In the Great Devil Castle, I had no choice because I spent more time inside the place than when my pepper was out.
I explained to her Celestia why I had come to her.
“… So you’re saying let’s use my power?”
Celestia’s power is to create alter egos, incarnations.
She tried to use the Avatar to gather information, which was the method Celestia originally intended to use when she first came here. However, the life of her demons was different from what she thought.
The demons had a security system that was comparable to, or even better than, that of modern society.
Even moving between cities requires something like identification.
Perhaps, if she had tried to collect information using Avatars from the beginning, many of the Avatars she created would not have been able to leave the city.
It was quite inefficient to scatter her avatars without a plan in countless Zephyrian cities, so that method was put on hold.
Above all, the biggest problem with her Celestia powers is that she has to control her incarnation.
Celestia, who had lived most of her demonic life ruling over her own archdemon castle on earth, did not know much about this world.
On the contrary, since I lived in modern society, I was able to adapt much faster… There was no way I could properly collect information even if I sprayed Hwashin in that state.
“For some reason, their gaze seems to be ignoring me.”
“It must be an illusion…”
Celestia looked uncomfortable, but she didn’t say anything more.
“The plan is to collect information by sending your incarnations to candidate cities where Helena, whom Chaos has come to know, may be located.”
“It’s not a bad idea.”
As soon as Celestia finished speaking, a fog-like shape gathered in front of me, and a naked demon woman was created.
It was a demon with an ordinary face.
“What do you think? Is this enough?”
I took a closer look at the incarnation created by Celestia.
The height, face, and body are normal.
She stretched out her hand and touched the skin of the clone.
The skin is no different from that of humans.
My chest is also soft.
You can see a smooth crotch with nothing on it. I touched that place…
“Hmm? This is…”
“It is an incarnation for simple information collection. We did not create useless genitals.”
Cruel…
“How many more Avatars can we create?”
“Well… I don’t know because I’ve never made an incarnation to its limits. If it’s an incarnation with this weak power, you should be able to make as many as you want without any problem.”
Unless you are an incarnation class with great power that fights against great demons, there doesn’t seem to be much of a limit to the number.
“Celestia, what do you plan to do if you save Helena?”
“Well… I’ve never even thought about that.”
“You’ve never thought about it?”
“Yes. Helena didn’t ask me to save her. This is something she does of my own will. Was her first time feeling lost? She just vaguely thought she had to save her. Now…”
“Is it different now?”
“Well… Has it been too long? Right now, it’s just a vague… Longing… Now. You can say that I’ve lived longer than her. A lot has changed. It could be a useless obsession. . But saving her is also the greatest desire I have left.”

I added my power of deception to the incarnation of Celestia and sent it to gather information.
I decided to do a mission for Rebellion’s reputation.
I was sitting at a café in downtown Zepia, waiting for my team members and talking on the phone with Cowra.
Maybe it’s because Kaura is worried because I’m a new team leader, but he tries to tell me what to do as a team leader.
『What will the team name be?』
“Was there something like that? When I did missions before, was there a team name?”
『Of course it was. It was Zayd’s team.』
It was a truly unsophisticated name.
So much so that you can immediately tell who built it.
You can’t play on the same level as Zaid.
“… Let’s do it with the Mongoose team.”
It was named after the Mongoose Knights, of which I am the leader of the Knights of Pantera.
“Mongoose? What does that mean?』
I think I’m curious about the unfamiliar word cow.
“It’s the name of a creature that was called the strongest in the ancient times of distant Zephyria.”
Actually, I don’t know either.
I didn’t ask Karia, who gave me the name Mongoose, in detail.
However, in this demon world, no one knows about mongooses. If I give it meaning, it is correct.
“Okay? Okay. I’ll register you as a member of the Mongoose team.』
Not long after finishing the call with Cowra, one of the Mongoose team members came into the café.
She found me and came to me.
“Mr. Bark.”
The first to appear was Linnet, who had innocent eyes that did not fit in with such a terrorist group.
But her face is not very bright.
“What happened?”
“No…”
Even though he said no, his expression was somber.
“I’m sorry, Bark. I was very rude earlier without knowing that he was a married man.”
“…”
I think I’m talking about the kiss I gave her in return for my gratitude when we broke up.
Damn… Did Cowra say that?
Tsk… What a useless thing…
Cowra is disappointing.
Sprinkling ashes on finished rice.
It seems that Cowra was showing unnecessary nonsense to Linette, who seemed to be under the influence of a married man.
She wanted to contact me and argue, but…
I don’t fight if I feel like I’m going to lose.
‘Anyway, the team leader came first… These are missing.’
It’s not time to convene yet, but I’m trying to vent my anger somewhere else.
When I thought about that.
Another team member came in.
She was a woman with short hair and a stern expression.
She knew because she had received the profile in advance.
Her name is Joanna Lester.
Did you say your specialty is close combat?
Joanna comes in front of me and suddenly raises her hand in salute.
“Loyalty! Joanna Leicester. You have been ordered to muster!”
“… Sit down.”
“Yes!”
Joanna sat down in her seat, following my instructions.
Is she in military uniform? She is wearing something like a uniform.
Did Rebellion have something like this?
If you had, wouldn’t you have punished me too?
Just as that question was lingering in my head, another team member came in.
“Huh? You are the leader? Why are you so big like a monster? Your fist is as big as my head.”
Her name is Alcyone.
His specialty is… Not sex… But telepathy.
He had a sexy appearance that made him look like he would be good at sex.
“Alcyone crew! You are rude to the captain!”
Joanna suddenly storms out because she doesn’t like Alcyone’s attitude.
“What…? This idiot.”
Alcyone also frowns as if Joanna doesn’t like her.
Lynette was becoming restless in the impetuous atmosphere between the two.
“Stop it. You two are not free enough to fight. It looks like everyone is gathered, so let’s go.”
“S-sorry!”
“Hmph!”
The movement of the mission team was not much different from the previous procedure.
Rebellion sent us a van, and we got into it and started traveling without knowing where we were going.
I think I’ll probably go to a secret base like before, arm myself, and set off.
By the way, aren’t you telling the team leader about the location of the base?
Well… It could be because I’m at the bottom.
