Chapter 135: I Rejected A Beautiful Woman

Perseus POV

"Hey there little bud, woah, ha stop it."

Buddy rushed onto me and showed his affection by rubbing his nose onto my face, he's dirty as sand covered his pristine white fur, probably helped him with camouflage a bit with the amount of sand he got on him.

I used magic to clean him up as he got out this piece of map from his storage spell, I got it and went back to our hotel.

"That's pretty far." Ruka commented as she looked in the map "They're also practically hidden if these descriptions on the side is true."

"I'm just surprised they managed to still live around the area, you can't grow any crops around here." Lilith added "The presence of the enchanter is definitely the difference that made this impossibility a possible outcome. They definitely got 2 or 3, having just one is a terrible idea because if one's out, the whole village will have to relocate.

"And that's very rare, 2 or 3 enchanter all in one village? They pretty much got at least 10% of the world's enchanters. I should study about this village more, they're usually a dark horse in the tournament, but not the type you want want to seek out or recruit since there are always better ones.."

Yeah, I'm not gonna let her recruit any enchanters on her side, this is her general side talking through, if she pull just one enchanter to her side, the humans will start to fall, I need to keep a balance so that I can have a higher chance of sweeping up the heroes and the demon lord.

2-3 enchanters is not just a possibility, but a definite outcome, I can't really pull them to my village's side either, but making a small alliance seems to be a good idea and it's not an impossibility. Ruka said that the chief even recommended her to talk about it and gave her the rights to decide whether to pursue it.

"Well gang, let's set sail, I guess. Village of the golden sand, village of the Paradis tree and next is the village of how that guy made the sun goddess his wife, let's go."

"You're really not letting go at wanting to woo our MARRIED mother." Lilith said with a really loud emphasis "Besides, what if her taste change and she now prefers to be in the body of a wrinkly woman? There's a difference between dating an older woman and dating an old woman."

"Don't you all fit both the descript-OW." They all then pinched me real hard "Ruka, why the hell? We're talking in the context of women who are within the realm of my love interest here, why pinch me?"

"That's because it's no secret that you have a crush on me."

"Sorry, you're cute, but I don't see myself having a future with you, so I'll have to firmly reject your application to join my harem."

"""What?""" the 3 women responded

"You can't reject me." Ruka said with a slightly annoyed and offended tone

"But I just did?"

"No, I rejected you first, you can't reject me if you were the one who was rejected."

"Yeah, ok, let's go, I already wasted our time by getting sick."

"No!" she then pulled me by the collar and shut the door which caused Buddy to growl at her "Why are you rejecting me?! Lilith as a general is neither our ally nor friend, if we were forced to fight, she'll kill you, why aren't you pushing her away?!"

"Look, you're making this weird."

"Weird?" she then had this psychotic laughter "I'm literally more beautiful than this twin."

Now it's Lilith and Leilah's turn to be offended.

"So your pride got hurt by me rejecting you even though you don't like me? It's kind of too late to show your dere side."

Can't believe that reverse psychology is working, this world really sucks in that category, if I had majored in that category, I can just work my way up to be this world's first ever dictator, maybe I should request an apprenticeship with grandpa Wager.

"What's wrong with me then? Tell me." she demanded as she hold my by the collar "I may not be smart, but I'm more than well off, I have money, fame, status...Even if it comes to figure, compared to these 2, I'm very confident that I got them both beat, your parents even approved of me, I literally have the least obstacle to become your wife."

"Well I know that you have a...um...'bigger' personality, but let's move on, we can talk about this another day, I don't have time for this."

"Yeah, this is weird, you love beautiful women." Leilah commented "Like an average teenage boy, you'll fall for any woman as long as they give you one single compliment."

That's false, but whatever.

"Hey, shouldn't you be happy I rejected her?"

"Oh I am, but I'm still curious." she shrugged

"Come on, tell me, what's wrong with me?!" Ruka demanded

"You want the honest answer?" she then nodded which caused me to smile in my head "I'll never tell you."

Currently, I'm using the power of the roses and formed a platform for us to sit on for us to fly to the location, it's going to take a super long while since this desert is pretty huge.

Man, I'm lucky that Buddy is accompanying me because he just constantly releases cold air to cool everyone down during the day, but a nightmare at night time so we let him sleep in a tent a decent distance from us. It took us about 2 weeks to arrive at the location and we see nothing but sand for days, but we know that this was keep away unwanted visitors. This village is underground and everyone would walk by if they don't know what to look for.

I use magic to open a hole in this sand hill at the specific location and let it open up this tunnel path that goes deeper and deeper, I see this circular door made of black rocks. Similar to the stairs on the moon, this got a weird gravity enchantment on it which people shouldn't be able to force it open unless they're at the 8 star level or whatever.

"Well, any of you want to be the volunteer?"
