Chapter 207: Returning
Woodstar City.
Albert had returned from his journey, bringing Gin back so that he could meet everyone. It seemed Gin was pretty happy to know them, considering he recognized their strength when they fought.
However, Gin’s level had increased so much due to the Lust Kingdom helping him to bonk the two cultivators.
Of course, Gin didn’t do it too much or the charm technique wouldn’t be usable.
Name: Sarutame Gin
Level: 150
"So this Is your home. A mansion, huh." Gin looked left and right, examining the mansion.
"What? You don’t like it?" Albert asked.
"No. I thought you were living in the Horny Jail, watching over those people."
"I have a separate place for it."
"For real? I want to go there."
"It’s not in this city. Though, I might need to make more of them before leaving this continent. It will be useful." Albert sighed and said, "I’m planning to use two bats in this journey."
"And they are..." Gin squinted his eyes, curious.
"Horny Bat and Horny Jail Bat."
"What? There’s Horny Bat too? Wait, there’s a meme for that too... It was about a doggo turning into another ’hot’ doggo." Gin thought for a moment and asked, "Are you trying to hit yourself and become horny to hide in the Horny Jail?"
"Yes." Albert nodded with a serious expression.
"I see... Understandable." Gin nodded a few times, understanding Albert’s train of thought.
"Anyway, I’m going to give you the blueprints for the Horny Jail later. I want you to help me in constructing more Horny Jails since right now, there are only fifty cells."
"Can’t you send them to the same cell? With that, you can get around 200 slots immediately."
"If there are too much horniness in the cell, it will just be a horny gathering. The purpose of having this is to purify them, you know."
"Ahaha..." Gin scratched the back of his head, having no words to rebuke him. He was completely right. It would be troublesome if those horny people started doing it in the cell. "I understand. I will help you as much as possible."
"Yeah. I’m going to give you the plan later. Since Yale is planning to stay behind to work as a teacher and take in the managerial position, he will be in charge of this. Make sure you don’t trouble your senior."
"Yes, Sir." Gin never thought he would need to work for a small boy, but at the same time, he was just happy that he got to work with someone who understood Bonk. He might be able to get some information about bonk from him.
"Anyway, let’s enter." Albert waved his hand and opened the gate, entering the mansion.
As if they had been waiting for him, Yale, Renee, and all the others had been standing behind the door to greet him.
When he opened the door, they all lowered their heads. "Welcome back, Teacher(Master)."
Albert raised his eyebrows, confused. "What’s wrong with you? Is there something going on for you to greet me like this?"
"Master has become one of the most important people in the Lust Kingdom. We’d like to offer you our congratulations." Bepe stepped forward and explained what was going on.
"Me...meme..." Gin was stunned when he saw Bepe. On the battlefield, Bepe didn’t act or use an outfit like that of a butler, so he never thought much about it.
But when he looked at Bepe with his butler outfit, it reminded him of that meme.
"This must be Master’s student, Gin. It’s my honor to serve you, Young Lord Gin." Bepe politely greeted him.
"O-oh..." Gin nodded his head, politely greeting him back. It seemed he still carried his habit from Earth. "Nice to meet you."
"Anyway, let me introduce you first." Albert pointed at each other and said their names, "This is Bepe, Irena, Jessie, Shella, Yale, and Renee."
"Yale is my first student while Renee is his fiancee. The others are the best partners I can work with." Albert smiled.
Irena and the others were dumbfounded when they heard Albert’s introduction. He didn’t say anything like ’servant’, ’slave’, or anything similar. Instead, he showed Gin the importance of them in this group.
’The best partners...’ They couldn’t help but lower their heads while smiling.
"Anyway, let’s move to another room, so we can talk about the situation."
...
Half an hour later.
Yale leaned back and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I see. So, that’s the situation."
"Yeah." Albert nodded, confirming Gin’s explanation.
Gin had been explaining the situation details from the Gluttony Kingdom to the other continent. And Yale finally understood what would happen.
"Before that, I’d like to apologize to Teacher for creating so much trouble. To think that my impulsiveness would create a conflict not only with the Gluttony Kingdom but also the rest of the human kingdoms. I have no excuse if Teacher wants to punish me."
Just like what she always did when her parents called her to the throne room, Renee dropped to the ground, kneeling. "I apologize. This is all my fault. I will bear the punishment."
"Renee..." Yale also dropped to the ground and tried to help her. His action told Albert that whatever happened, he wanted to bear the responsibility.
"In this situation, as much as I want to punish you, it’s better to have you here and fix your own mess." Albert smiled and said with a soothing tone to calm both of them down. "I have decided. You have two punishments. First, you’re going to the war against the Gluttony Kingdom with me. I’m not asking you to participate in the war itself, but I want you to create an Anti-Horny Demon Army.
"This way, you can also get stronger in preparation for the invasion from the other continent. As for your second punishment, you are to create a school and prepare them for the invasion."
"Teacher..." Yale felt moved. The first punishment was something that he needed to handle by himself since it was his problem. But the second one was simply what he was planning to do after coming back.
He had been thinking about this, but Albert seemed to have a soft spot for family. He clutched his hand and put it in front of his chest. "I swear that everything will be done."
Even Renee was surprised since she thought the punishment would be severe. Instead of severe, this kind of punishment was simply the way to move forward.
It was very different from the royal family. Instead of the chilliness that surrounded the castle where the strong preyed upon the weak, this home was trying to encourage the weak to move forward together.
Albert turned to Renee and asked, "Renee. Raise your head... I want to see the woman who can make Yale fall in love like that."
"Y-yes." Renee stuttered as she hurriedly raised her head, finding Albert was smiling at her.
"What do you think of Yale?"
Renee hesitated for a moment, wondering if one wrong word would make him hate her. However, Albert assured her by saying, "I want your honest opinion."
Renee closed her eyes for a moment, recalling all the memories about Yale. She said, "The first time I met Yale was when I visited the Pride Kingdom with my parents. At that time, the king introduced all his sons and daughters.
"Only Yale who didn’t participate in it, piqued my interest. So, I sneaked around and found him practicing in the palace’s garden by himself.
"At that time, he was bullied by the other princes and princesses because of his situation. I also learned he was an anomaly at that time.
"The naive me brushed all thoughts and tried to help him, but it turned out Yale received all those beatings with a calm expression and moved on. As soon as they left, he continued practicing.
"That action made me wonder if I could be that strong in this situation..." Renee closed her eyes, remembering the scene that completely changed her. "People called me genius, but it only said about my talent. I couldn’t compare myself with Yale because he had something that I lacked... it was determination and perseverance.
"When I started learning more about him, I thought about creating a place to host him better, hoping that he could overcome his situation. I wanted him to prove he could control both elements and become stronger than anyone else.
"Unfortunately, he already had his fiancee. As a royalty, my parents didn’t allow me to become the second wife.
"That was why when I heard about her betrayal, I was delighted since I had this chance. But at that time, Yale had mastered his power and challenged me to a sacred duel." Renee stopped at this point because it was what hurt her the most. She sacrificed herself for Yale’s happiness.
"Why did you sacrifice your love for him?" Albert smiled, asking another question.
"I..." Renee bit her lips and said with a sad tone. "For me... If you love someone, you don’t need to be together with him. It’s the situation where you can sacrifice yourself for him. Even if he doesn’t know, as long as he can keep smiling, that will be fine.
"If I force him with me back then, I feel like I will lose that love. After all, it won’t be love anymore... It is just simply my greed and obsession."
"Is that so?" Albert’s smile became even bigger as he asked one last question. "Have you ever regretted your choice?"
"No!" This time, Renee didn’t hesitate to answer. There was even a firm belief in her face.
"Is that so? It seems Yale has gotten himself a pretty good wife..." Albert chuckled.
