Chapter 997 – Afterword ─ Venus Hears Various Stories About the Demon World From Eve Terra…
Venus Holimpia shook the glass in his hand slightly, looking quite satisfied.
“You made a pretty wise decision.”
In front of Venus, of course, sat Eve Terra, wearing a black dress radiating a strange light.
Since it was the ‘White Palace’ that arrived through a huge crowd of welcoming people, Venus thought there would be other demons, but the reality was a little different.
“She’s not that tactless.”
Eve Terra was very wise and did not invite anyone to the White Palace.
Only Eve and Venus were sitting in a fairly large room that was beautifully and elegantly decorated.
Occasionally, people wearing stylish clothes would come in and pour drinks and serve food in front of Venus, but basically, they were not people who came into the room and took up space.
Haha, still. Didn’t they give me a very fancy welcome outside?”
“Pandemonium is currently in the process of change. For them, Mr. VIP, the god of the new era, will always be someone they will happily welcome.”
Eve spoke with a smile and then gave her a slight wink.
“However, enjoyable things cannot always be given indefinitely.”
“Hoo…”
“The god of a new era, the joy on earth, the wind of change… These are all good turning points for Pandemonium, but they shouldn’t feel taken for granted. What kind of person Mr. VIP is, what he likes, and what kind of personality he has. This is not a story our Nectar knows yet.”
Venus gave a small smile.
“No matter how much you believe, no matter how much you say you are a servant working in this palace, it is still too early to show you everything about me.”
“That’s the law. You understand very well. Just the fact that there is a god on earth who will open a new era will help our Pandemonium change little by little in a better direction.”
“Don’t they say that if you stay in the dark for a long time, your eyes get used to the darkness? There’s nothing good about seeing a sudden light.”
Eve nodded with a satisfied expression and then leisurely drank the same drink that Venus was holding.
“If Mr. VIP was hoping for a grand home party, he would have been disappointed.”
“Don’t say things like that! On the contrary, my head was really hurting at the thought of talking to countless demon nobles whose faces I didn’t even know what they did or what their titles were.”
“Hehe, just think that the day when you will have a party like that is quite far in the future. There are people who are afraid of the God of the New Age, and there are people who like it. Not yet.”
Venus nodded and, unlike Eve, cut off a piece of his meat with the knife she held in her hand, then took it with her fork and brought it to his mouth.
The taste of the food was so good that it was not lacking even when compared to the food on earth.
“Are there any other problems in Pandemonium?”
“I will tell you that there is no big problem. We are all busy living day to day.”
As soon as he heard Eve’s words, Venus naturally turned his head and looked out the large window.
Pandemonium, where darkness was natural, looked a little different from the last time Venus came.
“If I remember correctly, Pandemonium appears to be emitting a fairly bright light.”
“Because various projects that were in progress with the intention of invading the surface were cancelled. We were able to properly supply electricity to all Pandemonium as originally planned.
“Hoo… So a new era has begun and there are overflowing people who welcome me?”
Eve briefly cleared her throat at Venus’ words.
“If you think about it, the demons have lived a life of poverty in Pandemonium until now…”
“Keuhum! It’s a shameful past, so please stop. Mr. VIP.”
Haha, if you know what crime you’ve committed, you can stop telling bad jokes.”
At Venus’s words, Eve coughed once more and gulped down the alcohol in her glass until it disappeared.
“… Don’t worry, you’re not sitting here comfortably.”
“Seeing that light has come even in Helheim, which was full of darkness due to lack of electricity, it doesn’t seem like you are just sitting idle.”
“Helheim’s… No, did you have a rough understanding of the structure of Pandemonium in that short period of time?”
Eve had an expression of disbelief, but Venus shrugged her shoulders as if it was no big deal.
“How could I forget the image of hell, where even light and water were not provided properly? I know very well how Asmo and the children helped me.”
Eve looked at Venus for a moment with a complicated expression.
“Helheim is currently being rebuilt. Thanks to that… And to be honest… My voice has improved quite a bit. The once cruel and cruel Great Mother is now starting to take care of cold, hungry, sick children. “
“I don’t mean to criticize you, but isn’t it you who made them cold, hungry, and sick? They immediately like you when they see you again.”
“I guess it’s because I’m the only one with the intelligence to create such things.”
At first glance, Eve seemed to be bragging about herself, and endless confusion was sticky on her expression.
“I don’t think I’m that smart either.”
Haha! Aren’t you the girl called a genius? If you say something like that, others might glare at you with eyes full of dissatisfaction.”
Eve smiled very faintly at Venus’ joke and laughed.
“You are having a pleasant conversation, Mother, Your Majesty.”
Ceres, who had been away for a long time, carefully opened the door and said a word.
“Haha! Welcome, Ceres! Don’t you feel at ease both mentally and physically after taking off your heavy maid uniform?”
Venus smiled brightly and applauded as Ceres appeared wearing clothes she had never seen before.
“Thank you, Your Majesty. I am glad that I can have a really comfortable day for the first time in a long time.”
“You chose clothes with the intention of looking pretty.”
Ceres pretended not to hear Eve’s words and closed her mouth quietly.
“Huh? Are you planning to look pretty? Is there any meaning to the clothes Ceres is wearing now?”
“I think these are the clothes you saw when you time traveled, don’t you think?”
“Um…”
Ceres was about to say a word, but then trembled and swallowed.
“Oh? Oh! Yes! Yes! Now that I heard that, I remember it! This black skirt and pure white blouse! I was wondering where I had seen clothes that felt neat and tidy! It’s the same clothes I saw in the past!”
Venus was quite excited and began to tear open Ceres’ body.
The black skirt, unlike the maid uniform skirt that always covered her ankles, showed off below Ceres’ knees in a very cool way. Where is the knee? It was so short that when a strong wind blew, it would flop around like this and show your butt.
The pure white blouse showed off Ceres’ body so clearly that one wondered if she was wearing the wrong clothes.
It clearly showed the outline of her voluptuous breasts, and her slim waist was very attractive without covering it up.
“Isn’t it the uniform of the academy in Niflheim?”
“Yes, I am accepting it. Your Majesty. Do you like it?”
Haha! How can you not like this lovely outfit?”
A wide smile appeared on Venus’ face, and she was so happy that she fiddled with her waist with her hands.
“He’s so happy he’s dying. Anyway, he hates school uniforms…”
“Mom…!”
Ceres could not stand it anymore and let out a short sound. Eve chuckled, snorted, and sipped her drink in silence.
As her mother, Eve had no intention of being a prankster, but she couldn’t help but want to play a prank on her daughter, who returned home after a long time.
“You’re not just wearing a pretty uniform, right?”
Ceres ignored Eve’s words and began pouring her wine into her sparkling glass. She was thinking of giving it to Venus.
“Don’t you want to show VIP that you were prettier and more beautiful than now? Then, how about going back to your old self?”
“Your Majesty? Could you clink your glasses?”
Ceres completely ignored Eve’s nagging and planned to lightly clink her glasses in a toast.
“How about getting a clean hair removal like in the old days?”
“Joom…!”
Ceres could not bear it and put down her cup and covered her body with her left hand.
Haha!!! Aren’t you saying too much, Eve?”
“Oh my, is this too much? I’m just giving useful advice to my lovely daughter.”
“It doesn’t help at all, and it’s embarrassing, so stop. Please.”
“Oh my, are you embarrassed? She didn’t ask her mom to tell her back in the day.”
Eve said with a smile and Ceres looked confused and bit her lip.
“Well, you’re right in saying that, Mother.”
“In the past, I was so busy working that I asked when I could take a bath together…”
Ceres looked even more confused, made a snorting sound, and silently tipped her glass and gulped down her wine.
“Oh, did you know that, Your Majesty? Ceres kept her room quite clean on earth?”
“Hmm…? Isn’t Ceres perfect at keeping things organized? She’s the best girl in the empire when it comes to tidiness?”
At Venus’s words, Ceres blushed a little, but looked at Eve with her anxious eyes.
“In the palace… There is a room that Ceres used when he was young. Why don’t you take a look?”
“Hoo! Are you saying there’s a room that Ceres used when he was young? Haha! Isn’t that hideous?”
“Of course not. Sigh, how quickly I woke up to dirty things and things I didn’t even know where I got them from… Sometimes when I go into the room…”
“Um… Your Majesty? You heard wrong! Wait! Your Majesty!!!”
Ceres got up quickly, his face completely red, but he couldn’t stop Venus, who was completely interested and started moving.
“Mom! How can you say something like that?! Isn’t that too much?”
“Oh, is that so? Mom just wanted us to have a good time with Verga VIP.”
Ceres instantly growled and looked at Eve with eyes filled with indescribable anger, but Venus had to be stopped first.
“Your Majesty!!! After eating, go to your room! Jebaal…!”
In the end, Ceres was unable to stop Venus and was dragged back to her childhood room, which had become a blur even in her own memories.
