Chapter 71: A man with two beautiful monster girls speaks
"It's not like we will be the main characters of that battle." Leon didn't mind offering some help to Winterborn, for he and his friends would, at most, add some of their strength.
It wouldn't be a battle for life and death, with many consequences on the line.
Leon also didn't think that Winterborn had sent weak or unimportant people here. It was a split spirit realm, and the Silver Wing Royal Guild also had an interest in inviting them here. It meant that befriending those people was beneficial on a larger scale.
Leon imagined unique ores he'd be able to get his hands on or tourist spots that Louise and Celes would enjoy. He also believed it was better to have more allies than enemies.
"We can always run away! It's not like we're close allies!" Louise crossed her arms, nodding.
"We should prepare our poor lambs first." After absorbing Louise's cute vibes as she steeled her mind to help people, Leon shifted to their main priority, alluding to the guild members that hadn't left the fortress in fear of the chaos outside. "I'll gather everyone and make a little speech."
Hearing those words, Celes naturally knew what her main task was. She reached for Leon, engulfing his right arm in her ample bosom, giggling.
Leon instantly knew that she had taken her little missy persona. Perhaps, after tracking and dealing with various personalities as the vampiress under Her Highness, Celes had gathered and locked some traits deep inside her heart. But because she couldn't showcase all of them to Leon, for obvious reasons, she would slowly reveal to him the 'personalities' she found likable.
And while Leon liked having a girl being cozy, he didn't know what trait of the little missy Celes liked the most. He decided to find what inspired 'little missy' the most.
Was it the sweet voice that compelled her master to get her whatever she desired? Leon thought with a faint smile.
He didn't know that Celes hadn't expected that persona to come in handy so much. Now, she'd found a way to slowly introduce more of her cuddly body.
Louise didn't waste the moment, too. She wouldn't allow the vampiress to be the only one to cuddle with her master! Sparked by competitiveness and jealousy, Louise wrapped her arms around Leon's left arm, drawing his attention as she deeply gazed into his eyes.
Feeling her stare, Leon looked to his left, smiling.
"I can't wait for the three of us to resume our adventure." Leon chuckled, slipped his hands into his pockets, then strutted to the crowd in his fortress. He casually led his partners to the mass, knowing how much pressure two beautiful women would soon exert on them.
And none of his girls found it uncomfortable. In fact, it felt right to be attached to him, as though Leon's body was perfect for them. Thus, Louise and Celes couldn't wait to return to their carriage and have more of their casual adventure, with them having short arguments, little troubles, bonding, and a small room to sleep in.
The last one was the best.
All three looked forward to it.

Leon's presence shook the crowd, just like he'd expected.
To begin with, it was rare to see monsters in the Silver Wing Kingdom, let alone beautiful girls like Louise and Celes. It was clear those were here only for the split spirit realm. But looking at them, it was difficult to think like that, for the vampiress and the fox girl had their eyes locked on their master, his presence being their world.
They sometimes bickered, but that was mainly because the vampiress teased.
The girls utterly ignored the crowd, too, but no one could be mad. No one knew what Leon would do if some of their jealousy or anger slipped outside.
Fortunately for the mass, Leon wasn't here to show off. He was here to deal with their worries. "I'll leave this realm soon. I can take you with me and safely guide you to the crack."
Leon didn't doubt he'd be able to achieve this feat. His [Predator's Camouflage], in cooperation with Celes' skills, should be enough to bring everyone to the conquered by spirit monsters' lands.
"The spirit monsters have seized the crack… We'll have to fight, right?"
Leon nodded, not hiding that from them. "I said that I can take you to the crack. Whether you'll be able to safely leave the realm is up to you and your luck. I'll naturally take most of their attention and fight them so you can find a chance to leave the realm. But I can only fight for so long, you know?"
The crowd's faces flashed with mixed emotions. They knew it'd be dangerous in the Tehmezhya Region, but no one expected that even the Silver Wing Royal Guild would fall and wedge them in this realm. It was such an unexpected turn of events that many didn't believe in their survival.
But now that Leon came out and spoke with his confidence boosted by the girls' presence, people started seeing the light of hope in their crap situation.
"All you have to do is spread my nickname. I want Heaven Library Guild's survivors to talk about me in the guild chat. Well then, we can't waste our precious time, can we? Listen to the plan." Leon said his demands, knowing that no one could refuse him, then explained his plan.
He had many monsters and humans under his control.
Of course, everyone believed that Leon had many people working under him. As for monsters, they didn't dare to question him, for that skill was too powerful.
He told the mass that his monsters and people would hide in the shadows. In reality, Leon will keep them in card forms for future use. He also put the toughest people at the front and archers and other long-distance guild members at the end. Then, everyone shall simply follow his wake.
Leon and Celes's skills will take over the rest.
Some people doubted this plan, mainly archers, for they were at the very end. They imagined the front simply rushing to the crack in hopes of leaving the realm as fast as possible. Many were ready to drop their loot to achieve that.
But Leon threatened those people with the truth. "Their numbers are too big. If you try just running away, you'll be the first one to die. You are bound to die if you can't cooperate for some time. Maybe even I'll personally deal with such hurdles… But wouldn't that also make me unable to fight on the front?"
The silence ensued.
