"Mama...MAAAMWWAA!" Alice cried as she ran towards her mama, face full of tears and snot. "Hic...Mwama..hic.."

Emi smiled wryly and picked her up, while patting her back, "Alright, Alright, I'm fine, calm down now."

Alex turned towards the Oni and smiled, "Thanks for taking care of Alice for me Nonko."

"Mah~ Mah~ it's fine, I quite enjoy taking care of her." Nonko smiled as she waved her hands. Though she was also curious about the new people he brought back but just remained silent.

Alex noticed her curiosity and decided to introduce them, "Anyway, these people are Emi's friends. That old dude is Albert."

"Hey, I'm not that old okay." Albert laughed before introducing himself, "Albert Eden, it's nice to meet you."

Nonko smiled and nodded.

Alex then pointed at Hisui and Rika, "The green-haired loli is Hisui, and that brown-haired girl is Rika."

Hisui shot Alex an annoyed look before giving Nonko a nod, "Ni~ce to meet you~, I'm Hisui Alda~"

Rika smiled and gave a light bow, "Rika Suzuki, it's nice to meet you."

"Hello~"

Alex then pointed at Lucifer standing behind them, "That short dude over there is.....Hanzo Urushihara."

'I need to make an identity for him.'

Lucifer blinked as he stared at his king in shock, but nevertheless just remained silent.

"Un~ Un~, Nice to meet you all~ I'm Nonko Arahabaki~" she smiled, "A resident of this Inn, too bad I'm the only one here currently, the others are out doing their own thing."

"Anyway, Nonko we'll be going back to my room to talk for a bit. We'll see you later." Alex stood up and began to walk out of the room, the others following behind him.

"Its nice to meet you again Nonko-san," Rika bowed her head before she left.

"Oohh~" Nonko smiled until they left before her face immediately turned serious as she poured herself a cup of sake and drank it.

"Fuuu~" she released a hot sigh, "Those guys...they're dangerous. Though not as much as Alex-chan though, that man is a monster."

Shaking her head, her serious expression vanished and was replaced by a sultry one as she once again poured herself cup of sake.

Back to Alex and the others...

"E-Emi," Rika began, her voice was trembling, "Y-Yuragi I-Inn, isn't t-t-this the Inn t-that's said to be haunted? I-Is that woman earlier a ghost?"

Lucifer gave an amused snort, "You saw the fight of an Angel, a Fallen, and a Demon King, yet you're afraid of ghosts?"

Emi glared at him, "Shut up squirt."

Lucifer sighed, "I wonder what milord has seen in you?"

He paused when he felt a gust of wind passed by him, looking at Emi, he saw her with her Holy Sword drawn and he couldn't help but gulp.

If he moved just a step closer just now, his head would surely be separated from his body.

"Looshifer don't be mean to Mama." Alice pouted as she gave the Fallen Angel a glare, her eyes are still red from crying.

Lucifer paused, wondering how did this little daughter of his king knew him. But just shrugged it off.

"I say," Albert began, giving Emi a smile, "You give a mean hug huh Emi?"

"S-Shut up!"

"Oh right," Rika grinned as she give Emi a teasing look, "My, My, Emi how come you did not tell me about your daughter? Look how cute she is, she just look like you in that Silver Hair Form of yours."

"Its my Angel form." Emi groaned, she wanted to say she really isn't Alice's mother but, as expected, she was sure that the moment she said those words Alice will cry until her eyes went dry.

Not to mention about what will Alex do if that happened.

She looked at Alice, who was hugging her tightly and couldn't help but smile.

Rika gave a cheeky grin, "Oh my, and you said the Demon King is your enemy. But didn't you have his child? Wait, how old are you when you had her? She looks like 1 or 2 years old, so you should be around 18 when you gave birth to her."

(AN: Emi's age is fabricated as 20 in Japan, she's actually 17)

"Rika! Stop that!" Emi glared, but it only caused Rika to laugh.

"Enough you two, we're here." Alex stopped and opened the door to his room before going inside, the others followed behind him.

Those who are here for the first time were mesmerized by the beauty of the place.

"Holy..." Rika almost cursed but managed to stop herself. She felt energized and calm for some reason, "...What a mystical place. I feel strange somehow, like I feel something hot inside me."

Alex raised an eyebrow before using his Magic Sense on her, and he was shocked when he saw Spirit Energy gathering in an insane speed in her.

Rika's Spiritual Power is only around 5, but now its 10, and it was still increasing, though it became slower and slower the higher her Spiritual Power became.

Alex estimated that if she stayed here for five days, her Spiritual Power will reach hundred, and that is if she doesn't train.

One should know that an average Humans only need a Spiritual Power of 30 to become an Exorcist, and 100 to be a Chuuma Ninja.

Albert was grinning when he felt his magic regenerating in rapid speed. He estimated that it will take around an Hour for him to return to his peak.

"Hahaha! This strength, I miss the feeling of having this power! Hahaha!"

Hisui just yawned lazily. She wasn't really interested in her magic returning anymore. She no longer has any desire on returning in Ente Isla anymore. She has no relatives or friends there anyway.

As someone who fell in love with the modern world, she can no longer return to that primitive world. Besides, they were being hunted by the church anyway, going back there is simply suicide.

'Sigh~ I can't go with "F4llen" to a dungeon raid today, I'll apologize later.'

Lucifer just raised an eyebrow when he felt his Demonic and Celestial Force recovering rapidly. Its no wonder why his King did not seem to lose his magic at all.

He has been living on a place like this.

'Though, this is a nice place to live. I feel like I can stay up all night for a year straight playing "Deity's Domain" though I should probably apologize to "3merald" for not joining her on a dungeon raid today.'

"Hmph!" Ashiya gave a disdainful snort, "You Humans don't even know the depths of my Lord's power. Creating places such as this can be done with a wave of Milord's hand."

Albert just laughed hearing, "Hahaha! Right. Every time I remember that attack that split the Central Continent in half, I feel like my soul will leave my body."

Rika paled as she stared at Alex in shock, "Wait! Wait! Wait! Hold up! So you can just split continents then?! How did the humans survive?!"

Alex smirked, "Fool, that attack was released when I'm not even in my final form."

"Did you just "Heatza" reference me?!"

"Actually, if you're asking how the Humans survive, isn't the reason right there beside you?" Lucifer smirked.

Rika turned towards her friend who was standing beside her and smirked, "Right, Right, so its love huh?"

"Shut up!"

Alex smiled and lead them to his mansion, where they sat down on the sofa and get comfortable.

With a snap of his finger, teas and snacks appeared on the table.

"Alright people, let's talk."

--------------------------------------------

OMAKE

"I finally did it!" Alex exclaimed while holding a compass and a crystal key on his hands.

The compass in his hands is called the "Compass of Guidance" it is imbued with a Concept Magic that if activated, will point at the "place you desired" be it hidden or in another world.

The crystal key on the other hand is called "World Key" an artifact imbued with Concept Magic that if activated "opens a door to the desired place" but if the distance of the destination and the image of the connected place couldn't be imagined to a certain degree, then the space wouldn't be connected.

But with the help of "Compass of Guidance" then that limitation can be overcome.

Judecca was standing behind her master, staring at him with a longing eyes.

"Alright, Let's do this Jude!" Alex grinned as he activated the "Compass of Guidance" to find the coordinates of his desired place before pouring his magic power on the "World Key" and thrusts it out in front.

The key was plunged into space where there was nothing and ripples spread just like the creator Alex imagined.

Alex frowned at the magic power that was flowing out as though the plugging cork had come out, even so, he still twisted the crystal key next. That amount is nothing as he had an endless magic.

And the result was the space in front of him shook, an ellipse hole began to open.

Grabbing the hand of the fair maiden behind him, he "leaped" towards the hole with Judecca before it closes.

The two found themselves on a grass filled hilled with a lone tree on it. Below the hill is an unfinished town or city.

"It actually worked!" Alex smiled and gave Judecca a hug, much to the girl's embarrassment.

Suddenly, they felt a strong magic power approaching them. And Judecca quickly transformed herself into a sword.

Alex held Judecca tightly and glared at the direction where he felt the magic energy was coming from.

"Show yourself!"

And the owner of the magic power showed themselves. Waving Judecca, Alex created a large fissure that almost split the hill.

"Hiiieee!!"

"Who are you?!" Of course, Alex was only acting, he knew exactly who is this "person" in front of me.

"P-Please don't be mean! I'm not a bad slime you know!(slurp)"

The one he was facing is none other than the Lord of Jura Forest, the Ruler of Monster, the future Great Demon King himself!

The Great Rimuru Tempest!
