Demon Lord: Erotic Adventure in Another World-Chapter 453 : Serana and the women
When Serena greeted the other women and told them her name, most of them knelt with their hands up in prayer while the goddess of darkness bit into her lower lip and examined her competition.
How could she see such cute women as her allies?
So she spread her arms.
"Don't be so serious. I am here as our beloved mans lover, not the goddess."
"Okay?"
Ever since Ryuji started charming women left and right, Serena expected this day to come; snapping her fingertips, she summoned all Ryuji's future wives to her realm.
Even Yuina and Yumiko.
This showed how sincere and serious things had become, now finally reaching this point.
Serena lowered her gaze and observed Erika with a warm gaze.
Her fluffy blonde hair swayed in the gentle breeze.
Serena couldn't help but notice the marks of affection from Asmodeus on Erika's neck and chest and chewed on her lip a little more.
However, Serena wasn't angry or upset.
She was nervous.
"Nice to meet you Erika—thank you for always supporting Ryuji and never letting go." Serena said in a gentle tone.
But her words only served to make Erika's cheeks turn red, covering her face, embarrassed.
At this point, the other women started to notice the difference between the Serena they had in mind and the woman standing there.
All of them watched her, focused, with sparkling eyes and curious minds.
It was like meeting a big sister and their idol in one.
Serena's lips curled into a deeper smile.
She thought the girls might hold jealousy or hatred towards her, because Serena took most of his time and never left him.
"Goddess Serena, do you love Ryuji?"
Liana's voice was loud, her tone a little squeaky and curious, and it was obvious she was concerned.
Serena's lips parted as she took a moment to breathe, making sure of her answer.
"I do, but I believe each of our love and support is special and unique."
"How do you mean?" Ciela interrupted with her hand, sitting on her knees with a graceful posture.
The sudden interruption caused Serena to tilt her head, winking at the young elven princess. Her gentle probe made the goddess chuckle.
"I know that your support has helped Ryuji when the path seemed lost—he turned to you for guidance. To Erika when he needed someone to comfort him after he lost the will to continue, and Liana, you accepted the darkness in him when nobody else even noticed."
Her warm words caused several of the women to blush, while Velvet and Alice nodded, knowing why Serena would be revealed at this point.
"You're here to talk about marriage and how things will proceed, right?" The former duchess asked in a sharp but neutral tone.
Serena's eyes narrowed into pleasant crescents as she tapped the air, creating a soft chair. Then, with a huff, she bounced down and crossed her legs.
"You're right. I want to make Ryuji happy."
Her voice sounded bubbly and soft, like that of a young woman who had just received an early present.
A part of her enjoyed this meeting and wanted to know them better.
Another part, she just wanted to tease these lovely girls who made her jealous all the time.
Because of her previous role as a higher goddess, she lacked the time to spend with Ryuji and ended up feeling lonely and watching them in secret from her realm.
So Serena wanted to know more.
"Is that all you want, Goddess?"
This time, it was Yuina who spoke, giving a light bow, before sitting on another of the soft chairs while holding her stomach.
"Of course, what about you, Yuina? Is there anything more you desire?"
"Not really. I just want to be with him."
A curt response, but the adoration in her eyes revealed her true feelings, and Serena loved that about the sisters.
"Yumiko?"
"Hah... I am jealous of how you come and act like the main lead. Don't forget I was Ryuji's first!"
Yumiko's tails swished with anger, tapping the floor.
"Fufu, do you want to challenge me? How cute."
Serena copied Yumiko's posture and caused the entire group to start whispering.
"Eh~ don't you think they look like sisters?" Sariel muttered to Lumina, who shrank her body to avoid Serena.
"Haha, it's because she wanted to appeal more to Ryuji."
However, the moment Lumina spoke, the goddess slapped her ten silver tails against the ground, causing the sky to shudder.
"Lumina! I haven't forgotten you."

"Ack, forget me!"
Serena curled her lips into a delightful smile, and then, gazing back at Yumiko, she winked.
"Don't worry, I acknowledge you completely, big sister Yumiko."
"Eh?! Y-You do?" The cheeks of Yumiko didn't turn red easily for others, but hearing the goddess call her big sister pressed a hidden switch that she carried.
"Mmhm, when I learned about your unfortunate transfer I took this form as penance and to keep the determination to support you in the future."
"Ah, really?" The memories of being sent to an unknown world seemed to flow through Yumiko's mind as her tails drooped, and she sat down, hugging her shoulders. "I didn't know, thank you."
"But I'm not giving up Ryuji, he's mine!" Yumiko's courage and desire to compete with the goddess brought the other women to a warm laughter.
"Good, I do not wish to deprive you of him. I know we might argue and fall out from time to time; that's normal, even if it was just one woman, so with everyone here..."
Serena took a deep breath and stopped speaking.
There were more important things to consider, so her gaze turned to Leviathan, then Vinea and Velvet, and she remained silent.
"Levia, Vinea and Velvet."
"Yes, Goddess?"
"What's the matter, Serena...?" Velvet narrowed her eyes while curious.
Finally, Vinea answered last. "Is something the matter, Goddess Serena?"
A tense moment passed, and some girls shifted uncomfortably in their seats while Serena stared at the three girls alternately, tapping her chair arm.
"Why do you not pursue Ryuji when your hearts are desperate for his love?"
She knew this from watching how the three women treated him, but over the past months, they had become a bit distant and stopped pushing.
Vinea fell for him before any sort of demonic influence, and watching him fight made her a fan. Then there was Levia, who became crazy about him as Lumina's apostle.
'Why do they hold back?'
This question burned in Serena's heart and mind, and she knew Ryuji was also worried.
"Do you still love him?"
"OF COURSE!" Velvet's aura exploded as she slammed her hands down, a purple flame bursting from her eyes as she started to almost hyperventilate. "I love him... so much."
The intense affection and feeling coming from her body put Serena's heart at ease; with this much passion and feeling, it must be something else.
"Then?"
"I'm..."
Velvet's lips twitched, her eyes narrowing as she turned away, gripping her fists tightly.
"Unlike the other, I am not pretty or young, and I've lived so long that my attitude is rough, and I can't hold back when I become engrossed..."
"Eh? Was Aunt Velvet always this cute?" Liana covered her mouth in shock.
Meanwhile, Alice just gawped at Velvet with her mouth wide open. "Velvet... you really love him! Puhahahahaha!"
"D-Don't laugh, Alice, you damned midget!"
However, before Velvet's aura exploded, a pair of arms wrapped around her back and gently hugged her before Sariel's cute voice echoed.
"Don't be embarrassed, Master finds you lovely and has always wanted you to be more aggressive, Aunt Velvet."
"Who is your Aunt Velvet?!
Serena watched the women start to loosen up and quietly examined the women still unsure.
Alice laughed her head off until her face turned red.
The blushing Velvet affectionately scolded Sariel, and Yuina shared snacks with her sister Yumiko.
This was the sight she wanted.
Ryuji, who might have only dated one or two women.
Yet, because of her, he chose everyone for a happier future. So Serena wanted to ensure nobody became unhappy because of her actions.
'Thus, I must help make it work out!'
"Vinea, Levia what about you two, is it because of guilt, or your duty that you both hold back?"
Serena's voice caused their shoulders to jump, looking at her shocked.
"I just cannot forgive myself for what I did."
Leviathan stood up, wearing her plate armour. She looked imposing, but the previous apostle of Lumina carried the same heavy weight on her chest.
This time it was Liana's soft voice, not Serena, who confronted the paladin.
"Even if darling already forgave you months ago?"
Her voice wasn't loud or powerful but spread through the area like a bell ringing.
"Do you blame yourself, even now?" Ciela's green eyes trembled as she gazed at her old friend and bit her lower lip in conflict.
"I do..." Leviathan lowered her head and wiped her face, brushing the tears across her cheeks.
"Because of me you almost died, and I actually killed Ryuji! I feel the hot, sticky sensation of his blood on my hands each night... and it drives me mad with regret!"
Serena stood up but noticed Yumiko, Ciela, and even Erika stepping forward first, which caused her lips to curl into a gentle smile.
'That's it... support each other, it's fine to fight and argue but primarily we cannot become sworn enemies.'
She believed Ryuji worked too hard for them to all hate each other.
However, while they saw the sobbing Levia, Serena walked to face Vinea, tapping her shoulder, which caused the princes to shake and look up at her.
"You should go to him tonight, tell him what is on your heart."
"Will he listen to a foolish woman like me?"
Serena leaned close, and tapped the soft hair of Vinea, and muttered in her ear.
"You wanted to become a mother, right?"
The harsh face of Vinea suddenly transformed as she blushed like a ripe apple, and nodded.
