(Sureiyā 1st pov)

I was sitting at the head of the roundtable in the City Hall of KlugeTown. It has been 3 weeks since my arrival, and I have managed to transformed the city into what it is now. We managed to move everyone into their proper spaces and sort out the living conditions.

Most of the market stalls are up and running again. While many stall owners were willing to abandon their illegal businesses, some needed a bit of persuasion. After a few "unwelcome flying lessons," they fell in line and began behaving like everyone else.

Once everyone, including myself, was settled, I decided to establish a council to help run the city. Although I’m the leader, I prefer not to handle everything alone. So, I devised a plan to form a council, and so far, there are five of us.

First, there’s me as the head of the council. Next is Benimaru, who has changed drastically over the past week. Apparently, some demimonsters can evolve into something greater if their magic state is high enough. Benimaru evolved into what’s known as a Kijin. He now has Caucasian-colored skin and looks almost entirely human, except for the two horns protruding from his forehead and his fangs. His old armor was discarded in favor of something more suitable—simple yet sturdy chain mail. We also managed to equip him with a better weapon, a normal broadsword, but I plan to test my forging skills and create something even better for him.

Another council member is Capper, who has been in this town for a while. Initially, he was nervous about taking the position, but he eventually accepted it. Then there's Ohiram, the leader of the Arachne we brought with us. I thought it would be fitting to include him in the roundtable. Lastly, we have one of the goblin elders, Rigurd. When I first met him, he was old and frail-looking, but now he’s jacked and looks much younger, thanks to the magical evolution he underwent.

In fact, most of the goblins experienced a physical transformation during their magical evolution.

"Well, I must say things are running more smoothly than expected. Most have given up the illegal business, and now we are moving in a more positive direction," Capper said, with the others agreeing.

"Indeed, Lord Sureiyā has brought us into a better situation than before," Rigurd added.

"As I promised, your lives have improved, and I vowed to lead you into a better future.", I replied.

"Now, with that being said, I feel it's time to expand our goods. I'm sure you've noticed the gardens I've started, along with some new stalls and products," I said, receiving nods from those present.

"Well, I plan on making this a trade town. I've created some beneficial products for us to sell to those who pass by. Hopefully, with the new businesses and friendlier appearance of the place, people will take notice."

"Indeed, the new look will attract curious eyes, and we may be able to secure better business opportunities," Ohiram said.

"My thoughts exactly, brother. We've also opened inns for travelers, so we can gain business and profit that way as well," I added.

"Well, with nothing more to add, you may all return to your business," I said as I dismissed the meeting. As everyone stood to leave, Mia entered, carrying a covered tray. She was now wearing actual clothes—a tan skirt and shirt with brown fur trim made from one of the monsters I had killed. She had a smile on her face as she set the tray in front of me.

"Sureiyā-sama, I made you something," she said with a smile, using the term I had taught her since she insisted on addressing me in a formal manner.

I noticed the nervous looks on BeniMaru's and Rigurd's faces. "Umm, thanks," I replied, as she removed the lid. However, all of my hearts nearly stopped as I saw the monstrosity that was supposed to be food.

"GOD DAMN IT," I thought to myself. I then looked at BeniMaru and Rigurd, who were both avoiding eye contact with me.

"YOU BASTARDS KNEW SHE COULDN'T COOK," I screamed in my head. "Look at me, you cowards! Look me in the eyes before I die.

The others immediately left the room upon seeing the disaster of a meal Miia had presented. I looked at her face—I couldn’t tell her what I really thought of the food. Her expression was too sweet; it would have crushed her.

"Master, I don’t think even we could survive eating this," Shion screamed in my head.

**_FUCK, FUCK, FUCK, WHAT DO I DO?_** I thought as I picked up the spoon, scooped up some of the food, and… **_WHAT THE FUCK? DID IT JUST SMILE AT ME?_**

"Master, I have an idea. Just thrust the spoon to the left," Shion advised.

Willing to do anything to escape this situation, I followed Shion’s instructions.

As I did, I heard a gulping sound and looked to where I had thrust the spoon, only to find it in the mouth of one of the goblins I knew as Gobta. He was young—at least 4 years old—but considering how fast goblins age, he was like a teenager.

His eyes went wide before he jumped up, screaming at the top of his lungs, and then fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth while convulsing, before going limp.

As everyone stood there looking at the poor soul, I finally spoke. "Miia," I said, making her look at me with a nervous expression. "Umm, yes, Sureiyā-sama?" she replied.

"While I appreciate your efforts, the next time you cook something, make sure you get BeniMaru and Rigurds approval first," I instructed, making both of them look at me in shock and betrayal.

"Oh, okay," she said dejectedly as she slithered out of the room.

After she left, both BeniMaru and Riegert approached me in a panic.

"Lord Sureiyā, please don’t make us do this," Rigurd begged.

"Is this some sort of punishment?" BeniMaru asked.

I simply smiled before promptly flipping them off. "Have fun," I said, before saying a prayer for Gobta and leaving.

As I stepped inside the hall, my ears immediately picked up the sound of sniffling and crying.

I immediately turned the corner to see Miia crying, her hands covering her face. As I walked closer to her, I could hear what she was saying.

“Dammit, dammit, dammit! Why did I do that? I know I couldn’t cook. I just really wanted to try to impress him. Now he probably thinks I’m terrible.”

“That’s far from true,” I spoke out loud, catching her by surprise.

“Sureiya-sama! I’m sorry, I didn’t see you there,” she said.

I walked closer to her, gently wiping her tears away with my fingers. "Miia, I know you were trying to do something special for me, and I truly appreciate it. Maybe you just need someone to help you learn. I’d be happy to teach you."

“Really?” she asked in surprise.

“Of course,” I replied, “and wipe those tears away. You’re too beautiful to cry like this.”

My comment made her blush, which, honestly, made her look even more beautiful and cute.

“Still, I feel so terrible,” she said, looking down, obviously still feeling dejected.

“Well, don’t. There’s a first time for everything, and I can tell that was your first attempt, wasn’t it?”

She nodded her head shyly.

“You know, I heard that they put a bathhouse in this place, a really large one. Would you care to join me?”

Her eyes widened as her blush deepened. “Wait, me?”

“Yes, you. Now come on.”

She began to stutter, but I simply picked her up and slung her over my shoulder before walking to the bath area.

Upon arriving at the bath area, I was genuinely surprised. It was definitely large and looked really nice.

I need to find the construction crew who made this and give them better pay when I get the chance. I may have provided the foundation, but all the renovations were done by the team of orcs who lived in KlugeTown.

Orcs are humanoid creatures with pig-like features, having noses, ears, and even tails like pigs. They were pretty physically fit and were really crafty when it came to building.

As we stepped inside, I sent Mia down and immediately stripped out of my clothes, stepping into the warm water. I let out a relaxed sigh as the water caressed my skin.

I looked back at Mia, whose face was nearly as red as her hair and scales.

"Well, come on," I said. She hesitated before slowly stripping, first removing her shirt, allowing her voluptuous breasts to bounce freely from the fabric, then finally her skirt.

I tried not to be a perv, but I really couldn’t help myself. Her body was gorgeous, and honestly, I didn’t mind the snake features; they turned out to be a strange turn-on for me.

As she slowly slithered into the water, she sank down before somewhat relaxing. However, I could tell she was still tense and nervous, so I decided to help her relax a little more.

I walked over to her and pulled her close to me, her back pressing against my chest.

"Sureiya-sama," she nervously muttered.

"Just relax," I said as I began to gently massage and wash her body.

I worked my fingers against her shoulders, causing her to let out a relaxed sigh.

As her body began to loosen up while I continued to work, I couldn’t help but admire her beauty — from her amber-colored eyes to her reddish-pink hair and scales, and, of course, her… umm… assets.

However, before I knew it, my mind was already going to the gutter. I could feel my demonic urges rising, but I decided to see how things would play out.

—————-slight lemon, warning—————

As my hands continued to work on her shoulders, I slowly began to trail them down her body. She didn’t necessarily notice until I brought my hands to the front of her stomach and pulled her even closer against me.

“Ummmm, Sureiya-sama,” she asked, looking at me a bit nervously.

I simply smiled as one of my hands began to trail downward. Her eyes widened as her blush threatened to overtake her entire face.

Eventually, my hand reached its destination. She gasped and bit her bottom lip as my fingers traced over her most sensitive areas, rubbing her lips while gently teasing her clit.

“S-s-Sureiya-sama,” she stuttered and moaned, with a few cute whimpers occasionally escaping her lips.

I continued to tease her as I felt her tail coil around my leg.

While my hand was busy, my other hand trailed up her body, cupping one of her breasts before gently massaging and squeezing it. Her moans increased as she began to pant.

Finally, I sunk my fingers inside her folds, making her gasp and tense up as her tail tightened around my leg. I worked my fingers back and forth, massaging her inner walls as she continued to whimper and squirm in pleasure.

I brought my mouth to her ear, gently nibbling on it, and began to kiss the side of her neck.

I continued this until I felt her body begin to shake, her breath becoming more and more ragged and labored.

Wow, this must be her first time experiencing something like this. She’s already about to reach her peak, I thought to myself.

I began to work my fingers even faster, plunging them as deep as I could. To my surprise, she turned her head and caught my lips in a kiss. Her walls clenched around my fingers as her body convulsed from her orgasm.

————Lemmon over y’all good now———

As she came down from her high, she finally broke the kiss, staring at me with glassy eyes, panting with her tongue hanging out of her mouth.

“Tell me, do you feel better now?” I asked, receiving a nod of confirmation from her.

“I’m glad,” I said as I released her from my hold. I turned and stepped out of the water, grabbing a nearby towel to dry myself off.

“Do you plan on hanging out here a little longer?” I asked while putting my clothes back on.

“Umm, yes,” she replied, her voice still a little shaky.

“Alright then, I’ll see you later,” I said, winking at her before taking my leave.

As I headed toward the exit, my mind drifted back to the bath session with Miia. Well, that was… something, I thought to myself.

“Indeed, Master. I figured something like this would eventually happen. After all, Miia is completely smitten with you, along with the other four. I can imagine they’re quite jealous right now,” Shion commented.

“Yeah, I bet,” I replied. During the bath, I could sense Boosett, Rachnera, Rumi, and Gobuko lingering on the other side of the door.

Gobuko was a female goblin, and a damn attractive one at that. I had grown quite close to her over the past few weeks, and we quickly became friends.

“Well, I guess I’ll just have to see what comes of this. I just hope it doesn’t come back to bite me later,” I said, continuing to walk.
