Dimension Game Empire Chapter 452

“Hey, Xiao Wu…”

After retracting his gaze with satisfaction, he asked with interest.

“Do you know what you are doing right now?”

“..Wan..Want to make you happy.” Komyoiji Satori’s pretty face was slightly red, not daring to meet Xia Yan’s gaze as if he could see through people’s hearts, and replied timidly: “The..Then, I want the happy Demon King-sama to reward me..to let Koishi meet me…”

Hmm, Demon King-sama? What an unexpectedly interesting title.

“Xiao Wu is an honest and good child.”

Xia Yan praised with pleasure. Just as Komyoiji Satori’s heart was slightly happy because of this praise, his expression suddenly returned to calm, and the words he spoke instantly made Komyoiji Satori’s body stiff.

“But it’s not the answer I’m satisfied with.”

His voice lost its usual gentleness and became flat. People who are not familiar with him may not care. But those who are familiar with Xia Yan will subconsciously feel shocked, with a feeling of ‘is he angry?’

Looking at Komyoiji Satori’s eyes, which were timid and nervous as if she were a frightened little animal, Xia Yan couldn’t help but feel a sense of pleasure in bullying elementary school students. But soon, Xia Yan shrugged and smiled indifferently.

“Because Xiao Wu is a good child, I’ll let it go this time. But, I have to correct you properly. First of all, sit on my lap.”

Komyoiji Satori nodded obediently, suppressing the doubts in her heart without asking any further questions. Then, thinking of the business at hand, the girl hesitated and said, “Demon King-sama, can you let me meet Koishi now?”

Until now, the girl still mistakenly believed that he had kidnapped her sister because of Xia Yan’s ambiguous attitude that day. Xia Yan’s eyes flickered slightly, he didn’t choose to answer this question, but smiled slightly.

“That won’t do. That’s what makes Xiao Wu unsatisfactory.”

“Eh?”

“Whether it’s Xiao Wu or Koishi, you are all mine…” As he said this, Xia Yan showed a pensive expression, and after a while, he showed a happy expression: “You are all my hostages, things that belong to me.”

“However, Xiao Wu always shows an expression of ‘I can’t live without Koishi by my side’, or ‘I only have Koishi’, which makes me very unhappy.”

“…..”

“Although deep sisterly love is also very good, Xiao Wu like this always makes me feel lonely and pitiful.”

“But that is the destiny of ‘Satori’.”

Komyoiji Satori mustered up the courage to interrupt Xia Yan for the first time. She raised her head, her deep red eyes glaring at Xia Yan with a temper. This calm and composed atmosphere almost made Xia Yan think that the memory confusion caused by the ‘Vortex of Origin’ had recovered.

“Whether it’s youkai or humans, they only have malice and killing intent towards ‘Satori’. No matter where they go, ‘Satori’ are a rejected and disgusted race. Even now, Rita and the others just don’t understand the abilities of ‘Satori’.”

Komyoiji Satori smiled self-deprecatingly, but it made people feel sad.

“If they knew my abilities, even if they didn’t say it explicitly, they would still feel repelled and disgusted. I understood a long time ago that the only ‘Satori’ who can truly rely on and trust each other is another ‘Satori’.”

“The only one I can truly love is Koishi. The powerful Demon King-sama certainly wouldn’t understand the principle that ‘the weak can’t live without embracing something’, right?”

The whole world is the enemy, this is the world Komyoiji Satori faces.

If any normal person were placed in Komyoiji Satori’s position, let alone whether they could escape from the chase. Just the daily and nightly anxiety, the need to deal with the malice and deceit spread throughout the world, and a sister who is like a burden by their side.

I’m afraid, they would have gone crazy long ago.

Although Komyoiji Satori is not crazy, she holds layers of wariness and hostility towards anything other than her sister.

In simple terms – because of her background, her personality is extremely withdrawn, but she is also a contradictory girl who is extremely afraid of loneliness, so she pours all her emotions on her sister. Because she is afraid of loneliness, she can persevere in that desperate situation.

So… problem children are too troublesome.

Xia Yan sighed, and then, under Komyoiji Satori’s surprised gaze, he suddenly held the girl’s cheeks tightly, looking down at her from top to bottom, as if he was ordering or announcing something.

“I say, if you have to love something to have the confidence to live, you might as well love me.”

“Eh?” Komyoiji Satori was slightly stunned. When she heard the sentence ‘My Xiao Wu’ a few days ago, that strange emotion of being needed and possessed once again appeared in her heart.

Her crimson eyes became bright because of the determination contained within them, and he rarely showed a serious expression.

“I won’t ask you to trust me, and it’s okay if you want to read my mind. But – Komyoiji Satori is mine, my hostage. Just for this reason, I will never let anyone hurt you.”

“If the so-called ‘destiny’ is binding you, then we will trample it under our feet.”

The frank voice without any pretense made people believe his words unconsciously. This feeling of making people believe subconsciously was not a psychological effect caused by using some kind of magic – but because it was a sincere word. Since it was the truth, why not believe it?

“…..”

“This is my principle.” Feeling Komyoiji Satori’s surprised gaze, Xia Yan shrugged indifferently, as if in a joking tone: “Don’t look at me like that? It’s a matter of course to protect your own things, right?”

“..I’m just surprised, when did I become Demon King-sama’s thing.”

Komyoiji Satori lowered her eyes slightly, looking at Xia Yan with complicated eyes.

“You just kidnapped Koishi by any means to threaten me. If it weren’t for that, who would become your thing.”

“What are you talking about.” Xia Yan raised his eyebrows.

“From the moment you were summoned by the ‘Dimensional Contract’, weren’t you already my thing? The contractor belongs to me, isn’t that a matter of course?”

“…Ha.” Komyoiji Satori was speechless, she couldn’t imagine that this Demon King was so willful to such an extent. She really wanted to dig open Xia Yan’s skull to see what it was made of.

Then she would question him properly, ‘a matter of course’ – is that your motto?

His eyes are neither good nor evil, everything starts from himself. Everything he does conforms to his own ‘justice’, even if this ‘justice’ seems to others to be nothing more than willful and even brutal behavior, he doesn’t care at all.

The current Komyoiji Satori clearly realized this.

‘But..why can’t I hate his willfulness?’

With her personality, she hates this kind of willful guy very much. Because this kind of person, even if you read their mind, you can’t predict what they want to do, and it doesn’t match the always calm and composed Komyoiji Satori.

But facing Xia Yan, she didn’t feel that way. Just as Komyoiji Satori was wondering, Xia Yan suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and the fingers stroking her cheeks paused slightly.

“Ah, because I was doing psychological counseling with Xiao Wu, I almost forgot the business. That’s a big deal that concerns all living beings in Europe, you cute little youkai are really clingy.”

Blame me.

The girl put down that fear, and subconsciously complained in her heart.

“But it doesn’t matter if I let her wait a little longer.” As he said this, Xia Yan suddenly hugged the girl’s body in his arms: “I still have to collect the reward for the psychological counseling first.”

“…..Ugh!!!”

“Calling a lady out of bed in the middle of the night to wait for you, and then privately ditching me for two hours, and now you can still look at me with a smile – you really are a willful Demon King?”

The girl with long white-gold hair maintained her elegant demeanor, but the resentment in her pupils did not conceal the black-haired boy in front of her at all. Princess Alice had no awareness of herself as a prisoner at all, and complained frankly.

“You really have no manners…”

She had been imprisoned in this villa for several days. As a knowledge-based talent – Princess Alice naturally knew her weak combat power, and had not tried to escape at all, but lived leisurely in the villa.

She had just planned to go to bed not long ago, but she was notified that Xia Yan wanted to see her, and asked her to be prepared. Princess Alice was calm on the surface, but she was on guard for this meeting – and then, she was ditched for a full two hours.

Waiting in the hall in a nightgown on a cold autumn night for two hours.

The resentment of a woman being disturbed in her sleep and being ditched is not ordinary – it is so deep that Princess Alice complained about this terrifying Demon King.

Of course, she also knew that Xia Yan would not be angry because of this trivial matter.

“I was a little delayed by something.”

Xia Yan smiled casually.

“You’re not surprised by my appearance? The resourceful Princess.”

The backhand that Princess Alice left in the European Magic Alliance really surprised Xia Yan, and he didn’t expect that the Black Prince would be used by this princess. It can be said that it was an factor beyond his expectations.

If his intuition hadn’t sensed the danger and rushed back to the battlefield with all his strength, he might have really been taken advantage of by the Black Prince.

However, there is no if.

Logically speaking, ordinary people would be angry at the person who made them feel frightened. But Xia Yan instead looked up to Princess Alice and wanted to bring her under his command – there was no way, he was too short of talents now, especially talents in politics and management.

If he integrates the entire Europe, if there are not a few useful talents under his command to manage it, and Xia Yan has to do it himself, he thinks it would be too troublesome. And if he relies on the unstable factor of the Dimensional Contract to summon, he really can’t be sure what he can summon.

Understanding the joke in Xia Yan’s words, Princess Alice smiled slightly.

“When I laid out those backhands, I also understood how incredible Campione are. Of course, I wouldn’t arrogantly think that you would definitely lose in that situation, and I was prepared to be punished by you in a rage after the failure.”

“But…”

Speaking of this, even with Princess Alice’s cultivation, she couldn’t help but smile wryly.

“I really didn’t expect that you have become so incredibly strong…”

But – the result was beyond everyone’s expectations.

The Royal Dao Integration Alliance completed a perfect victory with only low casualties. Just because of Xia Yan’s return, he reversed from despair to victory.

“Hoo…” Princess Alice took a deep breath, calming down the amazement and incredulity that emerged again. People who have seen that absurd scene are probably the same as her, deeply remembering the peerless Demon King who fought against ten thousand enemies with one person.

The magician world has always been the king of the strong, worshiping and obeying the strong – this is also one of the reasons why Campione is respected as the king. Not to mention, this peerless Demon King who crushed the Black Prince with absolute power and subdued the Sword King.

Xia Yan smiled noncommittally.
