Call me Mushroom King!

"Now then, my darling Daiki has a surprise before we order for tonight's meal!" Mari seemed excited as she spoke on the microphone. 

Daiki also seemed to have a grin on his lips, while he appeared to have made up with Mari, now back to hugging and kissing her as the pair walked along the central stage, which led to table [1] and the ones supporting Daiki Kwon.

"Oooh?"

"What could it be?"

"I wonder..."

"Nikolai, I don't like them... can we go home?"

"Little beauty, what about the free food?"

"Ah?!"

Nikita might be a rich girl, but she seemed to have a strict diet and always came to Nikolai's home hungry in the past. That or she just loved to eat food—thus, he could picture her tail wagging right now as she wrapped herself around his arm.

'It's amazing, Nikolai tamed the beast princess...' Hana thought to herself, while it seemed her husband and Daewon also thought the same when their eyes met, and everyone grinned.

"I am sure you are all wondering! Well, let me explain. Thank you, Mari, you are as beautiful as ever."

Nikolai leaned back, watching Mari from the corner of his eyes before he said in a deep voice. "Nikita is leagues above her." This momentary comment lingered as Daiki stuttered on the microphone, and Mari also looked shocked. 

If you saw her face, you might have expected her to think Nikolai would still be in love with her after so many years or something.

'Hmph, pretentious waste! Nikita is just a flat-chested thug!' Daiki's thoughts about Nikita caused her to suddenly scowl and stare daggers at him, causing the pathetic man to shudder and cringe with a slight yelp.

"Stupid little pussy! Your bitch whore keeps looking at my sexy Nikolai. Make her stop, or I'll gouge her eyes and have her fucked by five big wolves!" 

"Huh, Nikita, what did you say?" Hana asked with a question mark over her head. The low voice of Nikita was filled with a thick yet rough dialect that was harsh for even Nikolai to understand because he only understood R-Empire's language at a basic level.

"Ahem...! Now then, many of you might know my company, the Kwon Group, recently became the sole trading partner with the Scarlet Group! I have even met the female CEO, and we made a great relationship—she seems to trust me a significant amount."

'Bullshit, that woman only wants blood and money.'

Nikolai's eyes narrowed.

However, it seemed amusing for him to listen to this. 'Come to think of it, Selene should be close. It's only been half an hour. Should I invite her?'

[To Selene (Erotic woman, D-Cups)]

—Oi, if you want to drink my blood tonight, come to the Imperium hotel room xxx 

I am having a class gathering, and a clown claims you are REALLY close—that's quite amazing that you trust him so much.

Bring Anya. We'll have a nice evening. There's free food for her, too.

[That was quite assertive of you.]

'Well, this guy is annoying, though I wonder what gave him the guts to say such a lie. That woman hates men; the only reason she stands me is if my blood makes her climax.'

[Quite vulgar, but it's true...]

"Now then, not only did they offer me a few positions that could be bridged from my side. I might be able to set some of you up with the job of your lives!"

"OOOH!"

The entire hall seemed excited, even the two women near Nikolai.

"What did he say, Nikolai?" Hana asked with a sweet voice, and Nikita seemed to stare at the microphone, not understanding a single word Daiki Kwon spoke.

Nikolai didn't know if it was on purpose or faulty sound equipment, but he and Nikita could only hear it because of their improved hearing, while the sound cut out for them when Daiki moved away. However, it felt like intentional abuse to him, as Daiki started walking towards table [4] their table!

"Oh, fuck this guy is on a power trip," Nikolai muttered under his breath while he seemed to have a slight smile on his face, and he couldn't wait for the show to start.

'Let's see how the great Daiki Kwon gets turned into a puddle of shit.'

He felt so confident because she agreed to come. Selene accepted his invitation.

"Hey, Nikolai, what did he say? Who did he mention?" Nikita asked again, her voice becoming more impatient.

Nikolai shrugged as he replied. "No idea, Nikita, but it sounded quite dull, something about finding jobs for the little bottom feeders."

The moment he spoke, once again using the power of his new body to increase the volume just enough with his diaphragm to reach the room, as if he said it by accident.

"HAH?"

"What a fucking joke! Why the hell should we listen to him!"

"Yeah, this is why he's trying to marry his flat-chested bitch so that he can get some money!"

'Well, to be expected, Daiki promised a lot of them jobs, though an empty promise, Nikolai just smirked as Daiki's face looked victorious as he stood right next to Nikita and began speaking again.

"Hahaha, ignore our friend. It seems he is a little drunk. So poor and uncultured he cannot afford to drink or go out. Let's pity our friend. It's okay, Nikolai; I will speak with them for you, too! Since we are friends from high school and university! We even dated the same woman, hahaha! Like brothers."

'Hmmm, he really loves his voice...'

"Kill..." Nikita's yandere rating reached over 9000 as Nikolai was forced to extremes to keep her from raging.

"Little beauty, don't mind the words of an idiot."

"But—"

"It's fine."

"Fine, I'll forgive him since you say so, but Nikolai, that little pussy better not do anything stupid." Her cus words slipped back into her difficult-to-understand dialect, but now Nikolai knew she was saying lewd or dirty words when she did that. So he just flicked her nose and turned to Daiki Kwon.

"Oh? Then I look forward to your HELP with getting a job there."

'I'm sorry, but I doubt you will be going anywhere except the hospital.'

"Why, of course, Nikolai, we are all old friends here!" Daiki said with the most disgusting fake smile before he opened his phone and smiled. "Good, she's here!" He then began to type something before the double doors opened a few moments later.

There was a buzz of voices and excitement in the room; while Daiki stood near Nikolai as if he had some kind of plan, he nodded to the others at his table several times.

The table included Kenta Fujimoto, a tall, muscular guy with spiky black hair... someone who was competitive and followed Daiki from a young age. One of the many who would gang up to beat or trick Nikolai in the past.

A beautiful woman entered, with silver hair and golden eyes, with a black suit and white shirt. However, Nikolai recognised her; she was the woman who served Selene!

Wilhelmina!

"Madame Wilhelmina! My name is Daiki Kwon. My father is the head of The Kwon family. Thank you for taking the time to visit—my father will definitely send his regards!"

"Hmmm, I see. I guess the Quon family managed to get the contract."

"Ahem... it's Kwon, Madame Wilhelmina."

"—I see..."

Nikolai and many others realised she didn't seem to have all that much respect for Daiki, and instead, this secretary was in a superior position compared to the boasting Daiki, who began to offer her some alcohol or drinks. 

It was at that moment that she noticed him elbowing and kicking Nikolai. "Oh, don't worry, this scum is someone who climbs into bed with a woman to earn money, too scared to work for real, a true house husband."

"Not then, about My father! He has managed to boost profits for this quarter by five percent! I believe Miss Selene would be surprised by our improvements so soon!"

The moment she saw Nikolai's face and his changes, her mouth opened in shock, and she gasped, but Daiki seemed to have thought it was because of his boasting.

'Hello, beautiful secretary. Your master is coming soon. Stay and enjoy some of the food!' Nikolai mouthed to her, causing Wilhelmina's lips to curl into a smirk as she scoffed.

However, it sounded like laughter as she winked at Nikolai.

[From Selene]

I'll be there soon. Stop putting STUPID TAGS ON MY NAME!

What is erotic and D-cup?! (Angry Dog Emoji x 5)

Should I tag about the size of your male reproductive organ??

'Hahaha, if she wants to. It's only going to make my pride as the Mushroom King grow!'

[You two...]

[To Selene (The Lewd Bloodsucker)]

—Haha, go for it...

Call me Mushroom King! (Huge Mushroom Emoji)

***

It as that moment that a twang of pain shot through Nikolai's arm, as he felt like something tore it off... 

The beautiful fair fingers of Nikita were holding him tight... Almost crushing his bones as she spoke with a loud voice, ignoring Daiki, who was speaking to the class and Wilhelmina, who looked bored until hearing Nikita's voice.

"Hmm, who is Selene, and what does Mushroom King mean?" Nikita asked, her eyes becoming dull.
