Chapter 150: A wolf girl!
Leon's visit to Madam Jasmin's house was short.
He had a night tea with her and Else, mainly talking about his adventure with the little elf. He made it clear that Else had to look out for herself and that no one spoiled her. And while those words shocked Arthur and his harem, Leon had no problems talking about that time as he always complimented Else for her mindset.
Leon also revealed his status as an otherworlder by comparing himself to Else.
He didn't have to hide that from Madam Jasmin, Else, Arthur, and his harem. That made them understand him more, and no one doubted that Leon was simply a gifted man with a unique body like Arthur. Only with that kind of charm could one come over to another world from Earth, after all.
"The red flamingo! I challenge you to war!" Else issued a battle with Arthur and his harem, then.
That was because her mother requested a talk with Leon, inviting him for a short walk around their garden. In this case, Else could only kill time by playing card games that she became much better at. It was quite surprising how this little elf wasn't sleepy yet.
Arthur gravely nodded. "Yes. I'll not go easy on you."
He wasn't tense because of the card game, but the events he hadn't been aware of until now weighed on his heart. Because Leon and Madam Jasmin discussed Else's time outside and that he had saved her, Arthur and his harem learned about the demons' attack.
They understood that many bridges had been broken within their capital and the guild!
And yet, he didn't know about it until now… It was his home, yet no news reached his ears. Even rumors didn't manage to make their way to him, so Arthur felt devastated inside. However, a desire to become stronger and more influential had been kindled within him!
It was time to soon leave his safe zone and adventure again!
Meanwhile, Leon and Madam Jasmin were already outside, breathing immensely sweet and fresh air. Most of that delicious fragrance stemmed from the high elf, sure because of her race. The high elves had ancestors from the forest elves, so it was only natural for Madam Jasmin to exude a lot of pleasant air.
Her smile was the sweetest when she talked about her daughter.
Her expression changed when the circumstances forced her to talk about the demons.
Madam Jasmin sighed and stopped her wheelchair, turning to the side as though she could look at Leon. "You deserve to know more despite your low level… I don't want to scare you: these are all facts. First, we've learned that the demons have had their eyes on Else for at least three years now. Something made them go against their plan, forcing them to take her outside before their evil plans corrupted more of my guild members. It's only because of that something unknown that Aaron was wounded, and the rest of the demons had died in Madevin Metropolis."
"He said something about the new demon's era." Leon brought the killed demon's words, troubling the guild leader more.
Madam Jasmin nodded. "Now that The Human Emperor is gone, our new era lacks someone to move the world. I fear that the demons have found that power — at least prerequisites to achieve that might — and they started gathering essential pieces one by one."
"He isn't dead." Leon corrected Madam Jasmin's words, explaining himself more as her reaction told him she hadn't expected that. "I don't have any proof to you… My vampiress has confirmed that Irene Crownedge is alive, and you can ask her for information."
Leon knew that saying more would make him seem like a fool. After all, if Leon said that he knew about the rest of humanity peak bodies and their divine powers, he'd only look like a total weirdo. He was unknown, and his level was also much lower than others.
People wouldn't believe him.
And he didn't want to tar his name and already troubling fame from his walk with Else.
"I'm hungrier for knowledge than before. Lack of eyesight and inability to walk made me much more ravenous… I, of course, will contact your wife about The Human Emperor and Irene Crownedge. You have just bought a house, so I'll do that in a few days." Madam Jasmin beautifully smiled, keeping Leon's moving in mind.
It was quite awesome of her to think like that with the new information she'd received.
Leon nodded and thanked her for that.
"Could you move my wheelchair back home? I have trouble controlling my mana now." Madam Jasmin revealed another of her flaws, which was her mana control.
Leon didn't know the cause of it, and he doubted she had it ever since her birth as her fame stretched far and wide. He didn't question her and heeded her request as it was an easy task.
"Your voice is a little too shaky." Leon couldn't hide that, though. And after saying those words, he understood that Madam Jasmin had come to a simple conclusion.
If The Human Emperor is alive, and the demons find something to keep them as significant as humans with peak humanity bodies, then a repeat of that era with five of them was… inevitable.
"It's too cold." Madam Jasmin replied curtly.
Leon didn't want to talk about that, too, so he caught her hint and forgot about that topic. "I see."
He brought her back to her home.
And after that, his short night tea party ended.

[A few hours before Leon returned home.]
Celes and Louise had found a house for themselves!
It was not perfect, but nothing is perfect, right?
Using the system and Leon's wealth, Celes paid for that house. She took the ownership, but the vampiress would soon transfer that to her beloved. For now, Celes, Louise, and Leon were owners of that house and had perfect control over its systems, as even houses could have some of that blessing.
That was naturally the power of the otherwolder with the unique power.
"It's so empty… We need to spend more and get furniture!" Louise complained.
Celes shared her mood. "We should get three expensive beds from the system, then buy everything else from the local market."
And then, the door's bell rang.
Celes and Louise looked at each other.
It couldn't be their beloved since Leon would contact them through the system.
Celes opened the door and widened her eyes.
"Hi, Celes!"
A wolf girl stood before her.
