The feeling of one's mana core increasing was akin to the mixture of pain as if having someone squeezing your organs and the pleasure of enjoying a blissful climax continuously.

Asmodeus grit his teeth while leaning against Levia's body, her eyes flicking to gaze at him while the others enjoyed their fruits—she seemed the least affected by the sudden change.

[Ah~ it looks like you're enjoying my fruit!]

Sariel, in fact, seemed to be quite happy with the fruit—the moment she ate it, her skin became more luscious and carried a sensual glow, while her horns became thicker, and the moment she gazed at Asmodeus, he suddenly became thirsty.

But she remained quiet and watched from the branches of the world tree above.

Aristella's pleasant voice caused Asmodeus to frown, furrow his brows, and press his lips together until they turned white.

Though she only spoke to him and did nothing else, he couldn't stand to hear such a lovely voice while experiencing an utter conflict of sensations flowing through his body.

A short while passed, and most people finished digesting the sudden increase in their mana cores and abilities.

The pulpy fruits of the world tree were more than just magic fruits that increased someone's mana capacity. They also increase one's dynamic vision and the flow of mana and allow people to remain youthful and live fifty years longer.

"This fruit is something that any human would burn the forest to gain..." Paul looked at his reflection in a silver spoon. Though it had only been removed five years earlier, his already handsome face looked much more energetic and youthful.

"Wow, you look so young!" Simon shouted, pointing at Paul, who had finally recovered from his paralysis and horrible state.

"You too... all your scars and bald patch has vanished."

"OI?!"

Since they came to terms with their fate, Simon and Paul began to feel much better. However, their feelings might have changed after they gained this new power.

Simon, who couldn't use magic well before and barely empowered his weapons with a little wind... could now cast basic wind magic if he wanted.

Paul... no longer needed to rely on his runic spells.

"Though I don't need them anymore, with this much mana, I think I can make them stronger..."

Thanks to this journey, though, he might not change his mind about quitting his role as an adventuring knight and becoming one that remains in Grigor... at last, his dream of being able to use magic finally became true.

Creak!

Suddenly, the tree began to rustle and vibrate, shifting the entire area. Then, the centre of the trunk split open like a door.

The world tree opened itself and revealed a glowing white light.

"Is this the entrance?" Levia asked Arinea, who was sitting on a rock and drinking water.

"I think it could be, though it's strange... I cannot find anything on that portal."

"Can we all enter it?" Erika asked while moving close to Asmodeus, peeking at Levia before she leaned against his side.

Asmodeus touched his chin, the feeling gradually subsiding while Aristella's voice beckoned him to enter the portal.

[Enter~ find me!]

He said nothing else, patted Erika's head, and smiled back when she showed him a sweet expression. Simon saw this and smiled, recognising that if Asmodeus was calm, he didn't need to worry. "Are you all coming with me?" Asmodeus asked, looking back at both his party and the two from the elven outpost.

"I am coming," Arinea said. "If not for my investigation skills, perhaps you would have died in the barrier forest, right?"

"It's true... without you, our lives may have been easier, but it doesn't mean that you will be safe going further, are you sure?"

Asmodeus could sense something from Aristella speaking to him, but there was no Serena's voice. He would likely face a trial in this place, and it would likely stop him from helping the others.

Maybe he would be secluded and face it alone, but he just wanted to be more open and speak with the people who joined him.

"I will follow you, anywhere." Leviathan grasped his right hand, squeezing it tightly.

Her eyes gazed up at his, filled with nothing but conviction, likely due to her betrayal and actions in the past, but he knew Levia's actions could be a little over the top. "Okay... but put your safety first."

"You can't keep us away either, kiddo." Simon and Paul stood with their equipment.

The vision caused Asmodeus to feel a sense of déjà vu.

The first time he met them, he bickered with them and then entered that D-Rank dungeon. Somehow, everything seemed to blur into one memory, but now they were here. He began this journey by himself, but now, with these companions, he wasn't alone.

One left...

Erika giggled when she noticed his gaze. "You are my lover. There was never a question of if but where are and when are we going."

"H-Huhu..." Though he almost stumbled over his words, Asmodeus smirked after clearing his throat. He turned towards the world tree portal and faced it.

"Ciela, do you feel the same?"

The elven princess didn't seem to mind his question or second-guessing their feelings. "Please, Asmodeus, if you were willing to help me save my father, I would follow you until the end of the world!"

Although its domain was unknown, the energy flowing around its body clarified that someone or something was inside it.

"Well then... shall we go inside?" He turned to Baku, who shook his head and looked regretful.

"Partner, I cannot enter this place... as a spirit beast, it seems that entering this portal would likely end my existence... the person who created this miracle is probably closely linked to my creator."

"Can you keep this place safe for us?" Asmodeus could understand Baku's concern; it even made his skin tingle, and his hair stood on edge.

However, he wished to see what type of trials and tribulations this thing would bring them.

"I will... You all can rest assured, and I will prevent any others from entering the tree."

"Then don't push yourself too hard." Asmodeus gave a thumbs up.

Baku watched as they gathered around the portal, his face solemn. "You will face the unexpected in there. Please be prepared."

"What could go wrong? The elves could perform this trial with no issues, haha... well, Baku, I'll see you on the other side."

Asmodeus stepped towards the undulating white portal, feeling heat prick his skin before he reached out and touched it. A cold jelly sensation spread through his fingertips, and he looked back one last time before pushing inside.

The moment he entered, Sariel's body wrapped around his back as she looked at the other girls and pulled out her tongue.

"Ehehe~ I'll keep him safe."

"Ah... Sariel?!"

"That silly succubus, what if something goes wrong?"

This act caused the other to chase him, watching as he vanished into the tree.

Simon held his hand back, his eyes wide, before nodding and letting Paul grab hold of him. "Let's go together!" Paul yelled, forcing him to go through, and the others followed suit.

Baku watched them vanish one by one into the portal, his eyes filled with wisdom and concern. At the end, Ciela, Erika and Levia stood together and held hands.

"We always bicker and fight to win his attention, but we all know that this isn't the way right?" Erika's eyes sparkled while squeezing their hands.

"Then... we enter together and meet darling together?" Ciela smirked. She loved how kind Erika was. Even now, she hasn't changed from that human hero from another world from almost a year ago.

"Let's go... he's probably waiting."

The world turned white... there was a soft warmth on his back, though he knew someone rushed behind him and clung to him. Yet he couldn't see her... in this world of pure white, even he didn't exist.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

[Welcome home]

A soft but mysterious voice that caused him to suddenly freeze.

His senses started to adjust, and the bright light faded. Then, a scent of cedarwood, plums, and mangoes filled his nostrils, along with the sharp scent of curry. Suddenly, he knew where he was—the scents reminded him where he was—home.

When he opened his eyes, there was a room...

Nostalgic, but with a messy double bed, comics and manga thrown on a shelf beside a double-door wardrobe...

'This place is familiar.'

He looked at the manga and seemed confused by the titles.

"The runaway elven princess falls for the Demon King's Lustful Beducation. R18"

"The cursed princess becomes a demoness for the man she loves. R18"

"My Twin Fox wives are too erotic! R18"

"Help! The Goddess of Darkness Groomed me into her Spouse! R18"

'What kind of taste do I have...'

The boy thought to himself while sliding off the sheets outside. The window shone with blinding sunlight, but the sound of cars passing soon filled the room.

"Ryuji! Oi! Stop masturbating! Dinner's ready... hurry up, or I'll feed it to the cats!" A rough and deep voice, but nostalgic...

There was a figure in the doorway.

Ryuji could only see the back of her neck, but that long black hair and her loud voice... triggered memories and hidden feelings deep within.

He looked around again and realised it was his room, but some memories lingered... the sheets that carried the slight scent of a woman's perfume and scent.

'Come to think of it...'

He looked at the comics and manga his friend Alex had lent him, including the manga on the shelf.

This scent was from Alex's girlfriend...

When he and that girl started hooking up, it was much sooner than she started dating Alex, but their relationship continued until it reached this point.

"This is... why does my head feel so heavy..."

He tried to remember, but Ryuji's mind seemed blank, what he did the day before... other than memories of women and being scolded by his mother... there were only martial arts.

Suddenly, he noticed his mother's enchanting face.

She looked back at him with sharp eyes; she watched him silently. But the sight of his mother holding a wooden bat over her shoulder triggered his memories.

'Ah... today it's my 18th birthday!'
