Chapter 988 – Afterword ─ the Reason Why Eve Terra Had No Choice but to Come to Paradise
“I hope you speak properly next time.”
Hedone, her face still a little red, put on her bathrobe and entered the room with Ceres and spoke.
“I didn’t expect that Her Majesty Venus and Empress Hedone would be here. There was no malice.”
Eve Terra said with her innocent smile.
“Did you take a good shower?”
“Ah, yes. I did normally well. But…”
Hedone’s eyes were wide open whether to speak or not, and then she placed her hips next to Venus and pressed her face to him as if whispering.
“… I tried using a bidet, but it felt incredibly strange.”
Haha, you didn’t get help from Ceres?”
“No matter what, you can’t just follow him into the bathroom and ask him to do something, right? Well, he ended up coming in screaming and screaming.”
“You worked hard.”
Venus smiled once, then gently grabbed Hedone’s waist and very slowly rubbed each other’s cheeks.
“It’s embarrassing to hear that you had a hard time with something like this. Ah, but I understand that.”
Hedone rolled her eyes for a moment and then laughed lewdly.
“It looks perfect for washing your pussy, doesn’t it?”
“Fu… Hu, hehe… Haha!! Are you suddenly saying something like that?!”
“Well, I was just telling the truth, Your Majesty.”
Hedone smiled as if joking and touched Venus’ thigh once.
Eve, who saw the couple joking around so comfortably, smiled at her and accepted the coffee handed to her by her daughter Ceres.
Haha… We talked too much among ourselves with the guests in front of us.”
“Ah… Don’t worry too much. You were on your honeymoon, right? In a way, you could say I was an uninvited guest.”
Eve sipped the white steaming coffee.
“No. I heard the story while taking a shower with Ceres. It was Eve who told me that this hotel exists.”
“That’s right. Even if it were me, I wouldn’t be able to know the location of this island somewhere in the vast ocean.”
“Hmm… You’re not wrong. This island wasn’t like this originally either.”
Eve, with a cheerful expression on her face, sipped a little more coffee.
“So? Why did Eve come here? Ceres didn’t tell you that we were going on our honeymoon here, so wasn’t she so lucky?”
“Yes, you made the right decision. I came here because I had some pretty important business to do.”
“It’s important business… You’re probably not going to interfere with your work, right?”
Although he was a Venus who wanted to enjoy his honeymoon, he wasn’t going to live for a week and die.
“Hehe, if it was such an urgent matter, Mr. VIP, who was enjoying sex for a while, would have been angry. It’s not that urgent, so don’t worry.”
“Then what happens? Ah… Is this a situation where you two need to talk alone?”
Hedone smiled for no reason and smoothed out her shower gown.
“Mr. Ceres and I haven’t changed our clothes properly yet, so should we go out?”
“Oh… No. Don’t you say there are no secrets between couples? It’s not a story to keep hidden, so if you don’t mind, you can listen to the story.”
Eve finished speaking and glanced at Ceres.
“But Ber? What does that look like?”
“…”
Ceres did not answer.
“Now there’s no need to pretend to be a commoner who doesn’t know anything, right? Clean things up…”
“I don’t think any daughter would want to hear her mother’s advice about grooming her body hair.”
“This is true. Isn’t this a story we all tell after living it?”
“Unless Your Majesty gives an order, I have no intention of laying a hand on it because Your Majesty likes it.”
Ceres spoke firmly, and Eve sighed and laughed.
“Anyway… I guess I’ll stop talking and tell you why I came here.”
“Speak comfortably.”
Venus nodded and crossed his arms.
“This island was completely closed off to civilians a long time ago for some reason.”
“Closed? But isn’t there a hotel there?”
“This building started out as a hotel, but eventually became a place to conduct important experiments for Terra Corporation.”
Venus thought for a moment and nodded.
“I think you already know the story to some extent, but…”
“A story I know? To be honest, I didn’t know anything about this island?”
“No. You know that. The experiment conducted on this island was to create a demon god… To be exact, it was an experiment to discover a demon god and make a wish.”
Venus looked at Eve, who spoke with a bright smile, without saying anything for a long time.
“Does that mean that the demon Armonia was born on this island?!”
Eve sipped her coffee with a very relaxed expression while looking at Venus who was startled and got up from her seat.
“Didn’t you expect it? There’s no way the demon Armonia would have disappeared forever.”
* * * * * *
“Bird… When you think about it, yes. Was he the god of the sea? He was also killed, but he turned into a cute baby, right?”
“Ugh… The demon Armonia… She’s alive somewhere…?”
Hedone patted the back of Venus, who was groaning and suffering.
“Don’t worry too much. Demon God Armonia is not that destructive.”
“What on earth are you talking about? Have you forgotten what I did to stop Armonia?”
“No. I remember. Mr. VIP is quite… Right. You made an amazing choice. Only after becoming omnipotent and the only being been you able to defeat the demon Armonia.”
With the sound of heels clicking, Eve was carefully walking down the hotel’s underground walkway with Venus and the others.
“But is Armonia really always like that?”
“… Is that story coming from some strange perspective?”
“Think about it. Armonia has always ‘existed’. Ever since I discovered her? No, she existed before that. She just always existed.”
Eve Terra was very familiar with the hotel’s basement, so he continued down further, skillfully flipping switches to light up the hallways.
“Ah… I see? The demon Armonia has always existed?”
“It has always been there… So, if it was always a destructive being and was trying to turn this world into a handful of ashes, this world should have perished a long time ago. Are you talking about that logic?”
“As expected, they are a smart couple. That’s correct. Armonia is not always that destructive.”
Eve finally found the elevator and rubbed her thumb on the touch panel.
─Ding dong!
The elevator door opened with a cheerful sound, and as soon as Ceres saw the dust accumulated inside, he used magic to clean it.
“But, why did Armonia try to destroy this world this time? No way…”
“That is exactly the theory, Your Majesty. The Demon God Armonia was born from the wishes of those who wanted the earth to be destroyed.”
Venus boarded the elevator and touched her mouth with her hand.
“Hmm…”
“It’s a similar story to prenatal education, isn’t it?”
Eve thought for a moment about Hedone’s unexpected words and then nodded.
“I didn’t think about it from that perspective… I see. Well, prenatal education is scientifically proven… Ugh!”
“Mom, you don’t need to say that.”
Ceres couldn’t resist and pinched Eve’s buttocks.
“This is… Well, that’s right. Just like most pregnant women think? It can be said to be similar to prenatal education. Depending on what wish a young, childish demon accepts, what kind of tendency does it show when it becomes mature? You could say that things are changing.”
“So that means we have quite a bit of time?”
“Of course. Unless you are doing something like gathering a lot of magical power and injecting it into a wish-extracting device, it takes a huge amount of time for a child demon to mature.”
Eve spoke and then shrugged her shoulders.
“It’s still in the realm of speculation.”
“Wasn’t there a theory…”
“You said you found the demon Armonia, right? It’s not always here, and we don’t know where it was resurrected.”
Venus finally relaxed her nervous expression and finally followed her out of the opened elevator.
“Is that why you failed to come up with a plan to resurrect the demon god and burn the earth?”
“That’s correct. You can’t make a plan around the demon Armonia, whose whereabouts you don’t know, right? Well… It looks like one of the seven sisters, who are condensed images of my extremely shameful and shameful past, did that.”
Eve Terra finally opened the huge steel door and went inside.
Inside, there was so much dust that Ceres frowned as soon as he saw it and used cleaning magic.
“I’m on my honeymoon…”
“Ah, I’m fine, Your Majesty. It’s better than having the demon Armonia come back to life in a bad form and ruining our future together, right?”
Hedone kissed Venus on the cheek and held her hand tightly.
“And only I can have this special honeymoon.”
“Hehe, I’m very glad that you think positively.”
Venus smiled and walked out next to Eve Terra, holding Hedone’s hand.
“Is the demon you seek here?”
“Um… Unfortunately… Ceres? Can you clean this glass? It’s so full of dust that I can’t see the lab below.”
“Yes, it is possible.”
Ceres skillfully drew runes with her fingers and cleaned the huge window.
Thanks to this, I was finally able to look down through the huge glass.
“I don’t think we can see anything differently than we thought?”
“What, it seems like the pure white floor is the end?”
Unlike the two couples who shrugged their shoulders, Eve Terra’s expression changed strangely.
“No. I think this is the correct answer. I don’t know if I should call it luck… Or if it was my choice.”
“That’s the right answer? The childhood Armonia is nowhere to be seen?”
“It’s over there, right?”
Eve pointed to an object in the center of the laboratory.
“… It’s not a little girl, it’s an ‘al’?”
“Yes, that’s right. This is Armonia’s first childhood that Al drank.”
As Eve spoke with a smile, Hedone unconsciously stroked her lower abdomen with her right hand.
“Oh my god… I’m sure I’m the only woman on her honeymoon who finds an egg with a demon spirit sleeping in it…”
