84 Chapter 84: A Kind Human

I enjoyed a long walk through the demihuman community together with Mifuyu.

Since I was worried that she might feel suffocated from the heat, I gave her a magic necklace that helps people feel a cooling sensation no matter how strong the heat is, as well as providing an increase in resistance against attacks based on magic. into fire, electricity, and light.

Enma gave me different artifacts like this saying that I can give them to women I find attractive so I can seduce them.

I know she means it to mean that with these kinds of items I can easily attract materialistic women, but I'm not a womanizer who wants to sleep with all the beautiful women I see so I prefer to give these items to people I like as a token of friendship.

Mifuyu seemed a bit uncomfortable with the gift, but she accepted it with a deep expression of gratitude making me happy, it's nice when a person accepts my goodwill without judging my actions as some evil plan.

After Kaguya told me about the misunderstanding she had about my personality, I realized that I am a character in a story of misunderstandings, but unlike the dramatic or comedic misunderstandings seen in romantic comedies, the misunderstandings involving me are based on dark and cruel situations, which really depresses me…

Come to think of it, I'm worried that the demihuman community will think I'm some kind of evil emperor since all the people who have seen me along this ride treat me with such an exaggerated amount of respect that it seems like they're looking at me as a deity and not a fat man who loves anime.

I sighed and looked at Mifuyu who was calmly walking beside me.

She's been giving me subtle looks, but they're not the typical woman-in-love looks that are common for women who see reincarnated protagonists. Mifuyu seemed to be attentive to my reactions as if she was eager to please me which is making me uncomfortable.

I sighed and stopped walking. – "Miss Mifuyu, I have a question"

Mifuyu stopped and calmly smiled at me. – "I will answer any questions you may have"

I sighed again. - "What do you think of me?"

Medb has been giving me tips on reading people's body language so I know when someone is lying.

Although I am far from a professional at reading people's thoughts and intentions, I can at least notice lies.

"Satou-san is an impressive and manly man with a kind heart" – Mifuyu smiled gently, but the way she smiles is a bit forced and she is trying not to meet my eyes.

I sighed for the third time. – "Well, that is what someone told you to tell me, now I want to know what you really think about me"

"…" – Mifuyu fell silent and seemed to be making an effort to maintain a calm expression.

I felt someone touch my arm so I looked at Beni who shook her head. – "Master, if you say it that way it will seem like you are threatening her, chirp, you yourself cannot see that you are a man of high status, so speaking directly can be seen as a form of subtle threat, chirp, you should also keep in mind that this woman seems to have an inferiority complex so you shouldn't be so direct when talking to her, chirp"

I saw Mifuyu's body tremble at Beni's words. I still have a lot to learn when it comes to talking to other people.

Even though Beni is helping me, I raised an eyebrow. – "Isn't it cruel of you to talk about a person's inferiority complex in front of the person who suffers from it?"

Ben shook her head. – "This is an important lesson for you, chirp, since you are my disciple my priority is to help you mature, chirp"

You are my cooking teacher, not a life teacher… Still, I feel grateful to this red-haired loli.

I smiled wryly at Mifuyu. – "Well, as Beni-sensei said, I just want to know the truth"

Beni flinched when I called her sensei, she seems to be happy to be called sensei. She is so cute that I want to hug her, protect her and give her lots of sweets, but this is not a good time.

Mifuyu sighed. – "I certainly respect Yamada-sama with all my heart and I am eternally grateful, without Yamada-sama then my friends, my family and myself would have tragic destinies at the hands of the demihuman hunters…"

Mifuyu looked down. – "Yamada-sama is a gentle man, even though Yamada-sama has a high status, even he is willing to treat an unimportant widow like me with kindness and respect…"

Mifuyu had begun to cry. – "But even so I am scared… It hasn't been more than three months since I saw my husband being brutally murdered, but now I have to give my body to Yamada-sama… I don't want to do it… I still love my husband and I don't want to tarnish his memory… But it is my duty as one of the most beautiful single women in the community… I was chosen to be given to Yamada-sama and I am very afraid of offending Yamada-sama…"

I was about to reach out to comfort Mifuyu, but Beni stopped me and pulled my arm so that I crouched down so she could speak in my ear. – "This woman is emotionally broken, chirp, if you comfort her and show sympathy, it is possible that she will fall in love with you…"

"Think about your actions carefully, chirp… Do you want her to be your lover since she is beautiful or do you want to be nice to her since you think that is the right thing to do?" – Beni released my arm and let me make my decision.

I stood still watching as Mifuyu cried.

In a matter of seconds, she fell to her knees while covering her face with her hands creating a heartbreaking and depressing scene.

"I'm sorry… I'm sorry… Darling, I shouldn't have run away and abandoned you… I should have stayed with you and died together… I'm sorry…" – Mifuyu was sobbing softly making my chest ache.

I looked at Beni so she could comfort Mifuyu, but Beni shook her head.

How can this girl be indifferent to other people's pain?

Is it so good to let others suffer and cry without receiving comfort?!

Beni pulled my arm again to speak in my ear. – "If you seek to save all the people who suffer, you will never stop suffering, chirp, you must choose, be a man who saves all the people who suffer, or be a man who only helps those you love, chirp"

…

I clenched my teeth in anger, but my anger was not directed towards Beni or myself, but towards the world that is full of injustices and tragedies.

Even though I have resolved myself to only focus on my family, I am unable to be indifferent to the pain of a kind person who was a victim of life's injustices...

"What should I do to help her without getting involved in a relationship with her?" – I asked in a low voice.

"I don't know, chirp, I can't give you all the answers, I can only show you options and tell you your mistakes so that you can correct them yourself, chirp" - Beni spoke softly making my heart calm down a bit.

I have two options, always receive the answers to my questions from other people, or learn to find the answers on my own with the help of other people.

In my past life, I never received help so in this life, I have become too dependent on other people to tell me what to do.

The fact that I didn't know how to solve the situation with Rinka only shows my lack of preparation to face life's problems...

"Thank you" - I murmured in a low voice.

Beni nodded with a small smile.

I walked over to Mifuyu and hugged her silently. My hug seemed to break the last walls hiding her pain so she clung to my arms as she cried out loud.

Although this will surely get me into a romantic relationship with this woman if someone is suffering and I have the ability to help then I will step forward and offer a shoulder to cry on.

Saki once said that she would be hurt if I lose my kind heart, so for the sake of my daughter and for the sake of humanity that I have left, I will help whoever is in need...

And if that gets me into trouble… I'll do anything it takes to resolve the situation… Anything.

(3rd person perspective)

As Satou comforted the beautiful widow, Beni watched the scene with a subtle smile.

Whether Satou decided to help the woman or chose to ignore the situation, Beni would respect Satou's choice as there was no right or wrong answer.

With Satou's luck, helping meant adding this woman to his harem while ignoring her would mean she would suffer in silence and maybe one day she would get over her pain, or maybe she would once again be used as a political tool by the higher-ups of the demihuman community.

Beni pitied the woman and in other circumstances, she would seek to help the demihumans who suffered at the hands of the True Devils, but currently, Beni had a more important responsibility.

When Satou asked her for cooking lessons, Beni accepted him as her disciple, but this was not only referring to the culinary aspect.

For Beni, cooking was the noblest way to open the heart to other people because it is through cooking that people express love, nobility, elegance, friendship, and humility.

Now that Beni was Satou's teacher, she would take it upon herself to help the fat man mature, grow, and form his own path.

Beni respected the different characters, personalities, and tastes of each person. She understood that even evil people were capable of goodness, while good people were capable of evil.

For Beni, all people deserved respect and understanding, and although she detested injustice, she was willing to give a second chance to people who have committed all kinds of atrocities.

From the first day they met, Beni could see that in Satou there is great sadness and contained hatred which comes out in the form of irrational violence.

Instead of judging him as someone evil, Beni decided to help him overcome that hatred as she noted that Satou's kindness was not a mask and he is truly a man who cares about the well-being of the world.

While Beni was satisfied with her disciple's decision, other people looked at the situation with expressions of discomfort.

As a means of security, there were multiple security cameras within Satou's entire residential area including the area assigned for demihumans.

Lala had been upgrading the security system so Asagi was able to use a remote to see one of the surveillance cameras pointed at where Satou was and was able to see the situation.

She was slightly annoyed by the fact that Satou kept picking up tragic women as if they were stray cats in need of a home, but at the same time, she was pleased to see that her husband was a man who truly sought to help other people and was not just a fool blinded by lust.

Asagi had been secretly watching the situation and when she noticed the woman crying and Satou comforting her, Asagi interrupted the meeting and transferred the video to the main screen in the room so everyone could see Satou's attitude.

Enma and Kiara's actions caused the demihumans to view Satou as a lecherous tyrant who was willing to protect them in exchange for material and carnal benefits.

Although this was not all bad as it would help ensure the demihumans' obedience, Asagi was upset that her kind husband was seen on the same level as the Gentlemen's Club members so she decided to show this side of Satou to the demihumans.

This scene not only moved the leaders of the demihuman community, the loli Chitose Nakai had little tears as she looked at the situation.

She had lived for a couple of centuries and she saw the worst of humanity.

Greed, war, betrayal, depravity, sadism... The loli had witnessed all kinds of depraved acts that made her have a certain level of fear and disgust for humans, but at the same time, she knew that it was unfair to judge all humanity since there were noble and kind humans, the children.

Chitose didn't just attend elementary school to kill time, her greatest motivation was to protect the innocence and kindness of human children so that those young souls wouldn't be infected with the greed and cruelty of adults.

The main reason she was willing to risk her life by facing Shaku was that she would rather die than allow innocent children to be harmed.

It was also because of this that she did not feel a grudge against Satou as Enma showed her that the soul and mind of the black-haired boy was actually the mind of an adult who tried to rape Satou's daughters so Chitose actually felt guilty attacking Shaku who actually tried to protect Mikan and Rinka.

Until now, Chitose had only seen adult humans feign friendliness to non-humans so they could manipulate them or lead them into a trap. That's why she was sincerely moved to see Satou's attitude as it was the first time she had seen an adult human showing sincere kindness towards a non-human species.

Despite her loli appearance of hers, Chitose did not feel any kind of romantic love for children or teenagers and actually saw them as children or even grandchildren, but that did not mean that she was indifferent to romance.

Chitose was sad since she knew that with her appearance she could only attract men with strange tastes who deserve to be in prison, and since her species is exclusively female, she couldn't find a suitable partner since most demihumans can't reproduce with other species because of the possible genetic problems this could cause.

Chitose had two options, have a human lover or an incubus.

The second option was a resounding no. She knew that succubus women were victims of all kinds of atrocities while incubus men were sexual monsters who saw women as masturbation toys.

This left Chitose without much choice so seeing Satou's attitude, something in her small chest began to flutter.

Normally it would be impossible for a cute loli to feel these kinds of emotions for a fat bald middle-aged man, but that's Satou's terrifying power, seducing lolis with the power of cookies and pats on the head. A true bastard who deserves to go to prison.

Although Asagi's intentions were noble and sincere, there was one woman who just wanted to watch the world burn.

Medb saw that everyone in the room had shocked expressions as if they were watching a movie where a homophobic father tells his homosexual son that he will wholeheartedly support him.

As everyone smiled, Medb forced herself not to throw up, she was disgusted by this.

The queen wanted chaos, the queen wanted to see these pathetic creatures kiss the ground her master walked on. To the queen, they were all dogs that should revere herself and her wonderful master, Satou.

Medb managed to hide her dark thoughts perfectly, not even Asagi and Chitose could feel the cruelty in Medb's eyes.

"As you can see…" - Medb clapped her hands drawing the attention of everyone in the room. – "This striking plan to seduce my Master through tragic women is a clear offense to my Master"

Though Medb's smile could seduce any man to the point of madness from her, her furious gaze made even the warriors who faced hell feel fear.

An old man with a strange long-nosed red face lowered his head in extreme respect. – "Madame, we have certainly committed an offense by treating Yamada-sama as the same type of tyrant present in human society, but I can swear on the name of my ancestors that we never planned to make a honey trap that could harm Yamada-sama"

Asagi frowned at Medb. – "Are you not exaggerating?"

"My Master is incapable of ignoring a kind person who suffers…" - Medb relaxed the fury in her gaze and looked at Asagi calmly. – "It is a great coincidence that the woman assigned to be the guide of my Master is a widow who has just lost her husband in the war against the Underworld, oh, the world is so convenient throwing beautiful and pitiful women at the feet of my Master…"

Asagi frowned and thought about Medb's words.

Certainly, it was a very convenient coincidence, but the truth is that it, was a convenient coincidence.

Whether it was the ignorance of Satou's temperament by the higher-ups of the demihuman community, or it was Satou's Plot Armor, the truth was that this was just a coincidence.

Satou already had a close relationship with two of the most beautiful women in the community, Ryouko Mikado and Touko Hizuki. Although there were other women who would be offered to Satou, only Mifuyu Yukino was free from work at the moment. A convenient coincidence.

The elder tengu broke out in a sweat at Asagi's suspicious gaze.

Asagi had witnessed how the demons of the Underworld managed to manipulate the upper echelons of her village which led to the downfall of the Taimanin, so just imagining that someone could do the same to Satou made her furious, forgetting her rationality.

Asagi kept silent thinking about how to deal with the situation, she even started to think about torturing the demihuman leaders to make them confess the truth, but before she could cut off the limbs of these people, a calm and elegant voice stopped her.

"Certainly this is our mistake, so I am willing to offer my head as an apology" – A beautiful girl bowed respectfully.

Even though it looked like she was bowing, an experienced fighter like Asagi could tell that the girl was offering her own neck.

Asagi calmed down and her growing killing intent disappeared. – "I will investigate this matter thoroughly, if this was a coincidence then there will be no problem, but if I discover that you are really making plans against the man who decided to extend a hand to you…"

Asagi didn't have to finish her words for everyone to understand that this woman was willing to commit genocide for Satou's sake.

The girl who offered her own head nodded. – "We will collaborate with any investigation, it is the least we can do to repay Yamada-sama's kindness"

Asagi looked at the girl with interest, she saw a bit of her younger self in this girl. - "What's your name?"

"Noihara Himari, member of the bakaneko (demon cat) clan" – The girl bowed respectfully while she kept a calm expression.

Asagi took an interest in the cat girl. Himari's calm and professional demeanor reminded her of her early days as a Taimanin bringing her a sense of nostalgia.

On the other hand, Medb also looked at the catgirl curiously.

She wasn't angry that Himari had interrupted her attempt to cause a conflict between Satou and the demihumans, she was actually happy that she had found a new target to amuse herself.

Medb was a bit sad that Satou would be going to prison the next day so she wouldn't be able to play with this cute kitty, but saving dessert for last always makes it more delicious.

Thus, Medb began to imagine how much fun it will be when this cat girl is shaking her hips on Satou while moaning like an animal in heat.

Medb was really having fun ever since she met Satou and because of that she loved him, she sincerely loved him in her own way.
