Chapter 472: Ancarin

How am I supposed to know why Regine ran off crying like that?!

Dont tell me she was scared off by me? But she clearlyshe clearly recognized who I am so why wont she at least give me a hug sob Im sure a poor Devil even my own Demoness doesnt like me As a Devil, can I be any more useless, I should just kill myself

Actually dying isnt all that simple either Lets skip that instead.

Master? Is master back?

Not long after Regine left, Ancarin came running over in a hurry. Ever since giving birth to a child, Ancarins body seemed to have become more and more like a ladys. Her waist was just as narrow as before, but her breasts had even more physics installed into them as she ran towards me I dont remember them being so big!

Ancarin, its good to see you again. Because of that previous trauma with Regine, I didnt try to welcome her with a hug this time. Instead, I stood there stoically and waved at her, after which I was hugged/tackled by an excited Ancarin.

Master its really you Im not dreaming, after all Ancarin buried her head in my chest as she sobbed. Unlike Regine, Ancarin immediately let forth all the fears and insecurities she had kept buried in her chest upon seeing me. We were so worried when master was forced to leave all of a sudden under such perilous circumstances. Everyone in the Demoness Abode has been praying to you ever since thats the only way Regine and I can feel masters presence but now that master is back

And here I was worried that Ancarin would just run off like Regine pfft. Still, shes really emotional today and those mountains theyve been growing sigh three years really is a long time even she has grown up and has a child now speaking of which

So Ive heard you gave birth to a daughter, Ancarin?

Mhm, a very cute one too. She takes after me. The moment the topic drifted to her child, her eyes immediately radiated the aura of a loving mother. Seeing that, I couldnt help but think to myself, whoever marries her is a fortunate one. However

Thankfully, she came out as a girl. Ancarin added on, words as strange as the expression she had on while saying them.

Hold on, was I just hallucinating? I could have sworn I saw something really dangerous just now. Theres no way my Ancarin would ever show such an expression. I must be hallucinating!

Sister Ancarin, its good to see you after so long. Seeing as my little reunion with Ancarin was finally over, Jezsere politely stepped forth to chat with Ancarin. Yet as they continued to chat, her eyes started to shine with a strange sense of anticipation. How is little Nari? Is she still choking while drinking milk? And what about little Hayley? Jezsere just loves her little wagging tail!

Little Nari was Ancarins daughter while Hayley was clearly Moranthals daughter, given her wolf-like features.

The kids are still taking their afternoon nap. Having said that, Ancarin smiled sweetly, reverting right back to that loving mother I saw in her just now. Master, how about we talk more at home?

Oh, thats good too.

With my approval, Ancarin began the task of leading us to her home, though her arms were wrapped around my own like a squids, as if she was afraid of being separated from me for even a second. Seeing her so reliant on me, I couldnt help but get a little happy myself. Even though there was that little misunderstanding with Regine, at least Ancarins feelings towards me hadnt changed.

Upon stepping into the village, the first thing we noticed was that there were only women here, of all types and personalities. There was the mature, steady kind. There was the lively, mischievous type. And there was the type that was still learning to speak. At this point, I wouldnt be surprised if even the mosquitoes in this village were female.

A while later, we arrived back at Ancarins home, at which point she turned to address one of the women passing by. Send word to the kitchen, have them prepare the best food, and quickly. Also, I want everyone assembled in the great hall within an hour. Tell them I have something important to announce.

Ancarins home, as it turned out, was the first building constructed in the village, one that was modelled after a church. This was the true Demoness Abode, the starting point of this village of only women.

Please hold on a moment, master, the food will be ready shortly. She led me up to the second floor of this church-like building and into a small room where we had a seat.

Up till now, her warm welcome truly made me feel blessed. Yet that only made it that much sadder when I recalled how Regine acted

After mulling over it for a while, I finally decided to ask about this. Err so does Regine hate me, or something?

To which Ancarin gave me a quizzical look and asked, Why would Regine hate master?

Because she ran away the moment she recognised me To be honest, I still couldnt believe that Regine would ever hate me, but the fact of the matter was that she did. So what caused this drastic change of heart?

Hahahaha. Master, I think you are mistaken. Regine has probably gone off to take a shower. She laughed heartily before suddenly becoming solemn. Because of what happened last time, Regine has always been a little self-conscious

Regine Thats right she would never hate me she was always just a little self-conscious

Now that Ancarin had brought up this matter, I suddenly recalled what it was like in the past when the three of us travelled together. Every night, she would always take a bath before sleeping. And if she didnt, she would never sleep near me.

Thats right

It was Regine who informed me of your return. Thats how I found out. Ancarin smiled at me with crescent eyes. I would have never expected master to become so beautiful in just three years I am nothing when compared to the masters beauty.

Hearing her praise my beauty, I was actually rather pleased, except I swear, Ive had enough now whats all this talk about beauty? Im clearly a dashingly handsome lad, not some lady. Lets get that straight here.

Master, Mo Ning has been settled in as well. In the midst of our conversation, Zurnalin stepped in through the door. As she promised me before, Mo Ning had maintained her horse form all the while as we were in the Western Human Realms. She was one of the trump cards I had in the search for Nicole, and as long as she kept her disguise up, no one would be the wiser of her identity. After all, the disguise of a Nightmare Steed that could freely navigate the dream realm was not one to be taken lightly.

Good, you guys can have a seat first, the food should be sent up soon.

Knowing that I hadnt seen Ancarin in years, Zurnalin and the two siblings kindly kept silent as Ancarin and I continued chatting about how Demoness Abode was built up.

At the very beginning, setting up Demoness Abode was Fertiniers plan. Even though this village was built to worship me, I had never once received a single drop of Faith Power. That was because they were sucked dry by that dastardly Fertinier.

But thats besides the point; before I had turned into a Fallen Angel, I did not even have the ability to absorb said power. Now, however, things were different. Unfortunately, it still didnt change the fact that Fertinier was sucking this reservoir dry

Hmph. Theres no helping all the Faith Power I lost to Fertinier, but now that Im back, shes getting them for free any longer.

Little brother, youre being too distant. Its just a little Faith Power. Once your big sis has gathered enough Faith Power, she can reform her body and leave. At that point, your big sis might have even recovered her power as a Demigod. Whoever our little brother wants beaten up, his big sis would be more than happy to oblige.

The moment I contemplated reclaiming my Faith Power from the Demoness Abode, Fertinier unshockingly came out to object. Yet while I might have not liked the idea, I couldnt deny the logic behind her words. Our current shared body situation was undoubtedly awkward for me. And even though I had control of the body, the fact of the matter was that I had a soul of the opposite gender inside me. Furthermore, if she were to ever recover her Demigod powers, I would be a lot safer during the Apocalypse.

Thats right. Dont forget that our little brothers pee pee is still on vacation because his big sis is here. Being one with my thoughts, Fertinier immediately latched onto my weak point. Once your big sis has enough power to reform her body and leave, our little brothers pee pee will naturally come home as well. After all, our little brothers soul is a males, and ones physical appearance is directly linked to ones soul.

Makes sense I have nothing to say to that at all but why does it still feel like something is off?

Bah thats not important now. Whats important is that the reason Im still not a man is because she is subconsciously fighting over my body with me.

However, as time ticked by, I began to realise what was off about this whole scenario. As a Demigod and someone sent to protect me, there was really no need for her to fight over my body, was there? So all that nonsense about me being genderless was because she willed it?
