Chapter 149: Flames of Jealousy and the Summoning of Walpurgis

"..." – Velzard stared at the two embracing each other, completely indifferent to their surroundings. A faint scowl formed on her face the moment she heard how Lumin

'Even I never called him husband...' – Velzard glanced sharply at Luminous, her expression darkening. Her golden eyes glowed for a moment before returning to normal.

"..." – Velgrynd cast a brief glance toward Velzard. For a split second, she felt a dangerous aura radiating from her sister, but ultimately decided not to concern h

"Remember, from now on, you're not allowed to leave me." – Luminous said as she grabbed Akira by the collar of his shirt and pressed a rough, dominant kiss to his lips. It was clear she was declaring her claim and

'Looks like the past 20,000 years have been rough on her.' – Akira thought to himself as he wrapped his arms around Luminous's slender waist, responding with a far smoother kiss that displayed just how experienced he truly was.

"..." – Velzard stared at the two kissing in front of everyone, as if the world meant nothing to them. With each passing second, her scowl deepened. Her golden eyes flickered again, but this time, the glow held more suppressed jealousy than anger.

'I was with him for thousands of years too... yet I never once called him "my husband."' – she muttered internally, clenching her fist behind her back until her knuckles cracked audibly.

"Hah... interesting." – Velgrynd exhaled softly with a sarcastic tone as she watched the scene unfold. "If this is how he kisses each one, then maybe it's time I demand my share too."

The kiss didn't last much longer, and the two eventually separated after about two minutes—just as someone familiar to Akira appeared in the sky.

"Oops... Did I interrupt something?" – Rimuru smiled awkwardly, scratching his head in embarrassment. He hadn't expected to see that upon teleporting in to inform them he had finished dealing with the Orc Lord, and was now planning to take the rest of the Orcs under his protection.

"Kind of." – Akira nodded without denying it, though he didn't release Luminous's delicate body, still holding her close by the waist. "But it's fine, I need to talk to you about something anyway."

"Ahem!!" – At that moment, one of the individuals who had accompanied Luminous through the gate cleared their throat awkwardly, eyes fixed on the two. "Luminous-sama, you still haven't explained the reason for your sudden visit to the Great Jura Forest."

Although the question was clearly about their arrival, the curiosity in the woman's eyes made it obvious she was more interested in the nature of Luminous and Akira's relationship.

The one who had spoken was a striking woman with short, chin-length black hair and a pair of deep violet eyes. She wore the uniform of the Holy Knights, suggesting she held a rank above the standard order.

"I'll explain everything later, Hinata." – Luminous smirked teasingly at the woman, Hinata, who was closer to her than even Louis Valentin or Roy Valentin.

Swish!!

Suddenly, a green whirlwind formed, revealing Treyni. She seemed about to say something, but fell silent the moment she saw the number of powerful figures gathered in one place.

"Hmm, looks like everyone has something to say. So, how about we return to the village and talk things over calmly there?" – Rimuru offered with an awkward smile. He was clearly nervous, especially since the Great Sage had been warning him for some time now about the immense power gathered here—especially Asuna, who seemed far stronger than she had been before the battle began. But it wasn't just Asuna. Great Sage also warned him about Hinata, Luminous, and Louis as well.

"That sounds like a good idea." – Akira nodded and snapped his fingers nonchalantly. Instantly, the scenery changed for everyone, and before they could even react, they found themselves standing in Rimuru's village.

After wrapping up all necessary matters, with Rimuru now declared Chancellor of the Great Jura Alliance, Akira sat in his home on the village outskirts with Luminous and his other women. Building it had been an easy task for him.

"You want to request a Walpurgis?" – Luminous raised an eyebrow in confusion as she looked at Akira across the table. Everyone was gathered for dinner, including Hinata.

"That's right. One of my friends is in the process of evolving into a True Demon Lord, and I want him to get a seat among the Ten Great Demon Lords." – Akira replied casually. It was one of his chat group's missions—to obtain a seat in the Demon Lords Council.

"I don't mind, but a Walpurgis can only be convened with the agreement of three Demon Lords." – Luminous didn't oppose his request, but the rules were the rules, and she couldn't do it alone.

"No problem. I can get two more Demon Lords to agree." – Akira grinned confidently. With a simple motion of his hand, a small magic circle appeared, from which a tiny flying being emerged.

"Akira!! You idiot! Why'd you summon me so suddenly?!" – the small creature puffed her cheeks in irritation as she fluttered onto his shoulder, poking at his face in annoyance—even as her other hand grabbed some food and began stuffing it into her mouth.

"Ramiris, I need your help. I want to call a Walpurgis and need your consent." – Akira said with a smile, unfazed by Ramiris's antics.

Though with Akira's power he didn't really need to follow the rules of the Demon Lords—he could force them to meet him if he wanted—he wasn't interested in such methods. He was more curious about how the world had changed since his earlier interventions.

"Walpurgis? Why? Do you want to meet Guy-chan?" – Ramiris asked, puzzled. Aside from herself, Guy, and Milim, Akira didn't really have ties to any of the other Demon Lords. "If you just want to see Guy-chan, you don't need to call Walpurgis. She'd be more than happy to meet you—especially since she's been looking for you for a while."

"..." – Hearing her refer to Guy as "Guy-chan" sent a chill of revulsion down Akira's spine, but he quickly masked it and replied in a neutral tone: "A friend of mine is undergoing evolution into a True Demon Lord. I want to hold a Walpurgis to secure him a seat among the Ten Great Demon Lords. With your help, Luminous, and Milim—who's already on her way—it shouldn't be an issue."

"Fine, I'll help—but on one condition." – Ramiris floated in front of his face, arms crossed. "In exchange, you'll help me get a servant."

"No problem." – Akira nodded lightly. It wasn't an issue; all he had to do was speak to Treyni about Ramiris, and she'd be more than happy to return to serving her former mistress.

As for Milim, she was the easiest of the three—either she'd agree right away or ask to fight him for fun.
