“………………..Should I…….. help?”
“Ah, Tony-san, you don’t have to worry about Helen. Lenna and Ava will keep her under control........................I think? No, I'm pretty sure they will.” (Saria) She sits back down and drinks her tea. Tony felt a bit concerned, and then he felt a soft tackle on his thigh. He looks down and immediately smiles.
“Ello!!~” (Esta) She hugs his thigh and looks at Tony with an adorable grin.
“Good morning to you too.” He gently picks her up and puts her on his lap. Both Saria and Irin smile when they see a chubby baby.
“Good morning Saria-sama and Good morning Irin-sama~. Big sister Kaguya~!” (Esta). She adorably bows her little head. Lenna teaches Esta to always formally greet Saria and Irin every time she sees them in the morning.
“Ara, ara, Good morning Esta-chan.” (Saria) She smiles.
“Mm… Good morning Esta.” (Irin) She also smiles, which is rare.
“Good morning Esta-chan.” (Kaguya) She smiles and gives Esta a gentle head pad.
“Esta, where are your friends?” he notices she is here with her maid/nanny.
“Their parent currently visits them at the UPG floor.” (Maid)
“Oh, great timing. Actually, I was about to contact them. I’ll go to see them then. Thank you for the meal.” (Saria) She and Irin got up and headed toward the exit.
“See you….later….Tony, Kaguya, Esta.” (Irin) she wave.
“Bye, bye~!” (Esta) She adorably waves both of her chubby little hands.
“Then, I will be going back as well.” (Kaguya) She Stands up bow.
“Oh, Kaguya, I’ll be coming over to check on the city’s progress tomorrow.”
“Yes Milord.” (Kaguya) She came closer and gently rubbed Esta’s chubby cheek. “See you later, Esta-chan.” (Kaguya)
“Mmm~! See you later~! Bye, bye~!” (Esta) She adorably waves both of her chubby little hands.
Kaguya has left. And there is only Tony, Esta and Ms. Maid. Esta turns quickly turned her head toward Tony with an adorable giggle. Tony smiled and picked her up to kiss her chubby cheek.
“Big brother, where’s mommy~?” (Esta)
“Your mommy is playing chase with Aunt Helen.”
“Aunt~?” (Esta)
“Oh, sorry, I mean Uncle Helen.” Tony still struggles with the elves’ gender since everyone has a hot feminine appearance.
“Esta wants to play chase too~!! (Esta) She looks excited. Then, a sudden growl came from her tummy.
“Hahaha, looks like someone hungry.” He tickles her chubby tummy. Esta let out a joyful scream and giggled. “Come…..help big brother make some pancake for you and your friends.”
“Okieeee~!” (Esta) Tony stood up with Esta in his arms and approached the kitchen while the maid followed.
An hour later, Tony finished severing the last pancake, and Esta’s face was covered in flowers. Aisha informs that a great storm is appearing at No Man’s Land. Tony guesses that Lenna, Ava and Helen have come to an agreement to take turns playing with a godly new toy, which is why a massive storm appears.
“Esta, would be a dear and call your friends over for breakfast.” He gently wipes the flower off Esta’s face.
“Okieeeeeeeeeeeeeeee~!!!” (Esta) She hops down from the stools and runs off while the maid follows her.

11:48 AM
East continent. Kalah kingdom.
The Grand Alliance higher-up had called for an emergency meeting because 95% of their army had suddenly been wiped out in a single night. All the high generals of each kingdom made their way to the Kalah kingdom and used a magical artefact known as Door to travel to the Kalah Kingdom instantly.
At the Kalah kingdom war room.
“WHAT THE HELL HAPPEN!!??” (Alvida General) He slams his fist against the table. “HOW COULD WE LOSE!!?? WE HAVE THE FIFTY TIMES THE MEN THEY HAVE!! EVEN IF THEY USE THOSE MECHANICAL DOLLS, WE WOULD STILL WIN!!” (Alvida General) His angry voice could be heard from outside.
“According to the Heros. The Empire’s princes have created a terrifying weapon that can wipe out a city. And the weirdest part is that this weapon is none magic.” (Kalah general)
“A weapon that powerful is none magic!? Impossible!! (Etherfall Kingdom general)
“Kenshi-dono. Can you tell us more about this weapon?”
Kenshi nervously steps forward from the small crowd and explains all about nuclear weapons to everyone in the war room. He looks very nervous, but it was all an act. Kenchi is actually very relaxed. As he was explaining, he scanned the whole room and noticed that the other heroes were not there except him. He scoffed because instead of coming here to gather more information. They are just fooling around. What a bunch of kids. Then he notices the Kalah’s Scarlet Knight standing at the back with Everlyn company owner, Jane.
(“So they sent these two to do the work while they can fool around….heh….whatever.”) He finished his explanation and went back to the crowd. He then glances at Jane, and he sighs and shakes his head. Back when Ryu stabbed his back, Kenshi and Jane had a great relationship. She was kind and supportive, but then he found that she had a packet between her legs, which grossed him out the most. From then on, he slowly distanced himself from her, breaking her heart.
(“…………it better this way………I’m not into those gay shit.”) (Kenshi)
“Sigh……..It seems the Prince of Gaon is an outworlder like the Heroes. He must be a scientist. Damn, those lucky Gaon.” (Alvida General)
(“You bunch of cowards only general by name. You bunch of old men can’t even fight and win against trainees, and you’re all complaining?”) (Kenshi) He smiles nervously on the outside but flips a bird on the inside.
“What do we do now? Do we start the recruitment again? It will take years to get back our current force!! What about the reverse engining team? Have they figured out how to replicate the Gaon’s Golem?” (Ashfield General)
“Making the Golem is easy, but the power source is impossible to replicate. Those damn Gaon!!” (Alvida general)
(“Yea, yea, keep cursing them, you useless geezer……..now where that fat fuck? He should appear any second now.”) (Kenshi) He turns toward the double door.
“Supreme Prince Oja of Alvida has arrived!!!” (Guard from outside) The double door opens, and 20 beautiful bikini women walk in while carrying a portable royale throne with a giant human meatball on it. Next to them is a late middleman with a sinister moustache, wearing dark red robes. The Royal Vizier and Grandmaster of magical art, Jafa.
(“Ahh, there he is…He is as big as ever. The arrogant bastard is here to share his divine wisdom. Sigh….Those poor girls look stronger than the ones from before. No wonder they can carry that fat fuck all the way here. And there’s Jafa…..the most dangerous man in the south of the East continent. The Alivida family was known as the most powerful mage and wizard back in ancient times. Thanks to that, they managed to survive the world calamity and established a kingdom. But due to unknown reasons, magic users rapidly decline daily, including Alvida’s royal family. Still, fortunately, Alivida’s legacy lives on, which they use to draw out the one with magical talent and secretly enslave them to Alvida’s family forever. The unfortunate is a female mage; they have a way worse fate.”) (Kenshi) He is on his knees, bowing to the giant human meatball.
“Huuuuuuuuu!! Bubububububu. I come to share my divine genius with you all!” (Oja) After announcing his intention, he looked around, looking for someone. “Where that slave go?” (Oja)
“Your majesty. It seems Mistress Everlyn is not here.” (Jafa)
“So that guard lie to me! Hmph! Execute him.” (Oja)
“As you wish, your majesty.” (Jafa) He bows.
(“Jane is already gone thanks to invisible robe. The current Alvida royal family is arrogant, narcissistic, self-centred and a complete imbecile. So when Oja saw Jane, an elf, he thought that the ancient Alvida family used to own elves as a slave, which meant an entire race of elves were his family’s slaves, even though Jane was the reason for Alvida’s fortune. The imbecile father and so doesn’t care. They demand a lowly elf to be their pet and plaything. On the other hand, Jane doesn’t give a shit and avoids them like the plague because she and the seventy per cent of the higher up know that the true ruler of Alvida’s kingdom is Jafa. The Alvida royal family are nothing but a puppet. Jafa could easily kill them and take over the kingdom, but he can’t because he needs the Alivid family alive. Alivida’s family’s greatest creation is the slave collar. The slaver collar, as the name suggests, whoever wears it will become an obedient slave. Next, they need a mage to connect the collar to whoever would be the master. Once the slave collar connected to the owner, that slave belonged to that owner, and they only listened to the connected owner, except for the Alvilda family. The current Alvida family is a total mess, but their ancestor is a damn genius. They created a deep-encrypted rune as the main component. Without it, the mass-produced slave collar will not work. The rune had the standard collar function, but the deep-encrypted said: All the slaves must obey Alivida’s bloodline at all costs, and If all of Alivida’s bloodline died out, the collar would lose all of its function, that is why Jafa can’t kill the two idiots. He needs them alive while studying the collar, which has been without progress for years.”) (Kenshi)
“Hmph! You all may rise.” (Oja)
“We are eternally grateful.” (Everyone) They all rise up. There was a faint of hidden in everyone’s eyes, not because of Oja but Jafa.
“I heard that we suffered a loss from that fraud prince! Hmph! How dare he steal my idea!” (Oja)
“Ohhhh! My prince knows how to weapon that weapon!?” (Alvida’s general)
“Ooo oof, of course!! That fraud probably sneaked in and stole my design.” (Oja)
“That means Your Majesty know how to make those weapons?” (Everfall general) His eyes sparkle.
(“Holy shit….someone actually believes that fat fuck.”) (Kenshi)
“That…..ummmmm, That’s right! I want a proper challenge, so I will not be using that weapon.” (Oja) He looked very proud, and everyone was confused, but they couldn’t say anything because they might end up being a slave without knowing.
“My Prince. Please rest while I explain your divine wisdom to everyone. You were hurrying your way. You must be exhausted.” (Jafa)
(“Oh please, it will be the end of the world if he can even walk, well more like roll like a ball.”) (Kenshi)
“Hmmm, Indeed, rushing here, making me sweat a lot. You are truly the gift of our family.” (Oja)
“It a pleasure to serve the great Alvida family.” (Jafa) He bows. Then he turned toward everyone else. “Everyone! Don’t be discouraged by this defeat, because in the end, we will win. So, for now, we will stop focusing on the Gaon Empire. And targeting the newly discovered middle continent.” (Jafa) The generals and the others look surprised and enter a small discussion.
“Wait, the middle continent? But there is nothing but a fog.” (Random advisor 1)
“It’s the Mirage Island that those sailors are talking about where mermaids live.” (Random Advisor 2)
“Back in the ancient times. Our world had only one giant continent. Thanks to the great calamity, the continent split in two, but it was actually divided in three.” (Jafa)
“Forgive me for asking, Your Excellency. If it is true, why haven’t we been able to notice for thousands of years?” (Kalah General)
“It must be an unknown artefact that generates a fog to keep the continent hidden. After all, our ancestors lived in the middle continent before the calamity struck.
“That right! Our mighty Alvida royal family used to rule the middle continent, and it still belongs to us!! (Oja)
(“That bullshit! Alvida was nothing but a small noble mage family. According to the ancient text.”) (Kenshi)
“With this expedition, we will have the chance to find ancient artefacts and resources to improve our military might and crush the empire once and for all.” (Jafa)
“Yes!! What a fantastic idea! As expect lord Ja-.” () He was quickly cut off.
“Ahem!” (Jafa)
“As expected from our divine prince.” ()
“Huuuuuu! Bubububububububub! It is a sin to be the world’s only genius!” (Oja) As the human meatball is being a smug. The huge double door burst open, and a frantic soldier came in.
“REPORTING!!!” (Frantic soldier) He rushed in but was stopped by two guards. Everybody was surprised, and they all focused on him. Even Oja needs the girls to turn his throne toward the panting soldier.
“Rrrrre Rr Reporting! Ten thousand Gaon’s Golem force has invaded the border city! ” (Frantic soldier) He got his keen as he reported.
“WHAT! HOW DID THEY GET HERE SO FAST!? (Kalah General) Everyone was surprised because it took a day to travel from Gaon’s fortress city to Kalah’s Border city. And the Golem walk slower than a human, meaning they need at least five days to get to the Border city. So for them to be here is impossible unless……
“Mmmm, I see……So Gaon’s prince prepared that far ahead……….Your majesty, I think it is time for us to leave. It is going to be very dangerous if we stay here any longer.” (Jafa) He gestured to the girls that carry the Oja’s to move out.
‘BUUUUUUU!!! HOW DARE HE!!!! THAT FRUADDDDDDD!!!” (Oja) He let out his ugly, red, angry face.
“Commander! Sent our forces to intercept the Golem army at once !” (Kalah General)
“But sir..... the only forces left are the city guard and the heroes.” (Kalah commander) They forgot that they had lost the combined army to the Gaon’s trap.
“I don’t care! sent everyone!” (Kalah General)
“Yyy yyes Sir!” (Kalah commander) He quickly leaves the war room. As everyone was panicking, Kenshi secretly slipped out of the war room.
As Jafa and Oja make their way to the Door Artefact, Jafa stops momentarily. “Shadow guard.” (Jafa) A cloakman walks out of a shadow.
“Tell the hunter to collect some fresh meat near the Kalah’s Border city.” (Jafa) The cloakman nods and slowly sinks back into the shadow.
“Jafa? What that all about?” (Oja)
“Oh, nothing, my prince, I’m just following your divine wisdom.” (Jafa) Oja is still confused. “You see, when Gaon’s Golem army the city, the commoner will be evacuated. And that is the best time to send some hunters to collect the new slaves. And currently, we already use most of our slaves to summon the new heroes.” (Jafa)
“Oo ohhh, Yes! That was my idea!! You did well, my royal servant! Ohhhhh, I can’t wait to play with my new slave!” (Oja
