"Hey, look at that…"
"Oh my god, isn't that that divine beast…"
"It's gotten so ferocious in a while… look at its tattoos."
"I heard it recently opened a shop in its own building. It looks like a criminal organization boss…"
"…Although scary… for some reason, it feels kind of nice?" After a long absence, I entered the guild hall, greeted by the astonished voices of the adventurers.
On the way here, seeing the little brats run away, their faces pale with fear, was a bit disheartening… Heh… I was afraid of that, which is why I wanted to cover my body properly… But my beasts said, why cover up such a cool tattoo? They vehemently objected… But, well, it's a couple's tattoo between me and my beasts.
It's a bit of a waste to cover it up.
The females following behind were showing off their tattoos in lewd clothing. Even if it's become ferocious, as its master, shouldn't I cover it up a bit?
"Hey, hey... those women..."
"My god... even for adventurers, this level of exposure is..."
"That redhead, isn't that the mage who traveled with the hero Ars before?"
"...Gulp... those tattoos... could they be... the women of divine beasts or something...?"
"Impossible! The Holy Maiden is there too! Would the Holy Maiden, as a priestess, allow this?"
"But... even the Holy Maiden has tattoos like that on her body...!? What's going on...!?"
"My god!? Aren't those Lady Celestia and Lady Cecilia in the back?! What are the lord's people doing here!?"
"What!? That Lady Celestia, known as the Ice Witch!? Impossible!"
"The guild crest on the back of her hand... speaking of which, there are indeed rumors of seeing her with a divine beast..."
"Although it's a bit revealing... it's kind of cool...?" As my lewd beasts appeared, the voices of those staring at me in terror grew even louder.
The sounds were mostly a mixture of confusion and shock… Observing their expressions, the men were all blushing, their eyes unable to leave my lewd beast.
Pfft… you little bastards.
They're all just idiots with penises… completely mesmerized by the lust of my lewd beast.
Those with female companions, at least watch your eyes, you bunch of idiots with penises.
Hmph.
Ignoring the idiots with penises is one thing, but even the women are casting strange glances… I guess I'm overthinking it?
While it's a bit of a shame that my already fierce image has completely plummeted, the fact that these females can display their femininity is enough to make these tattoos worth showing off.
"Ah, oh? Mr. Shimo!?"
"Oh. Sera. Long time no see~"
Oh dear. Why does it feel like I haven't seen Sera's face for half a lifetime? Even during the temporary suspension of adventurer activities, we often greeted each other. It feels strangely familiar.
Although I wanted to immediately seduce this adorable Sera, I should probably go for Leona first, since she's closer.
After all, once the adventure gets busy, there's no time to woo both at the same time… *chuckles*
Sorry, Sera.
I'll make you my female as soon as possible.
"Oh my god… what's with the tattoos on your arms and chest?"
"How is it? Pretty cool, right?"
"Looks super delinquent. Like some kind of back alley ruler…"
Ahem… Sera's assessment wasn't great. That expression looked like she was looking at a friend who was desperately trying to look cute but looked pathetic! But it seems she wasn't intimidated, so I should be grateful.
Even I feel like I'm radiating the aura of a vicious criminal right now… I'm just thankful she's smiling at me.
Anyway, Sera will get tattoos like this eventually. Let's skip this topic for now.
"So, what brings you here today? I heard Mr. Shimo's shop has been doing very well lately. I thought you'd given up being an adventurer..."
"That shop is now operating steadily with a stable income. It's time to get back to my old ways as an adventurer."
"Wow! I thought I'd never see Mr. Shimo again!"
"The Hero Devourer is still active, how can I, as a divine beast, stand idly by? Hehehe."
Hmm. She really is a female who welcomed me from the very beginning. Her delighted expression is truly pleasing.
Having a beautiful woman who smiles equally at everyone naturally makes one want to patronize her often.
But... that smile will soon become mine alone.
"Sera. Register me as a new member first? Cecilia. Come this way."
"Okay. New member... huh? But, Cecilia...?"
"Hello? I'm Radil Neve Cecilia."
When Cecilia introduced herself, Sera's smiling face instantly froze.
Cecilia, dressed in a sports bra, hoodie, and hot pants, with one leg covered in tattoos, sported a rebellious, athletic look.
The woman before her was none other than Cecilia, the noblewoman's daughter. Sera stared incredulously at Cecilia, her voice trembling.
"Ah, ah, ah...? Radil...? The lord's daughter...?"
"That's right~ Your name is Sera, isn't it? We'll be seeing each other often from now on, nice to meet you♡"
"Mr. Semo!? Miss Eiei wants to join Mr. Semo's guild, what's going on!?"
"It's nothing... This young lady's mother is here too. Hehehe."
"Y-yes!?"
After I beckoned, Cecilia naturally approached and stood close to me.
She crossed her arms as if emphasizing her ample bosom and smiled at Sera.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Sera. I am Lord Radil Nebu Celes of Radia."
"Y-yes!? Lord!?"
"As expected, you're an excellent female, just like the rumors say. Master♡ This child suits my taste very well too?"
"Eh? Yes!? Yes!?" Sera, facing the lord and her daughter, was flustered for quite a while.
...
"Aha♡ This is Brother Shimo's guild crest♡ I've finally become the female of my perfect brother♡"
"Hehe. Congratulations~♡ Cecilia~♡"
Cecilia, with the number –Ⅳ– and the Beast Paradise guild crest engraved on the back of her hand.
Just as I was watching the heartwarming scene of my beasts celebrating Cecilia, Sera poked my side.
"Mr Shimo… what is this…"
"Hehe. Were you startled?"
"I was quite startled." "Although the Saintess surprised me back then, I never expected that she wasn't even one of the other nobles, but rather a member of the lord's family..."
"Well. Because I'm a divine beast, I got to know the important people I met."
"I heard something happened in the lord's city that led to a change of lord... I didn't expect even the name to be changed, and the mother and daughter are even adventurers together..."
Commoners are always nervous when they meet nobles of lord rank, aren't they? Sera sighed, unusually, grumbling as if she were exhausted.
The adventurers weren't particularly surprised... So they were only half-believing because she didn't directly reveal her identity?
Hmph... those hot-tempered brats.
Those tentative looks, trying to strike up a conversation, are infuriating!
"...Sera. Guild member registration is complete. Could you recommend some warm-up quests suitable for my level? Preferably for five people."
"Ah! Sure! Please wait a moment!" "Upon hearing my request, she switched her expression to a smile, then walked into Sera, deep within the management office.
After confirming Sera's departure, I approached my beasts and embraced Claire and Celeste.
"Oh dear♡"
"Hehe...♡Master really is♡" The two females, possessing Radia's top-tier breasts, seemed to anticipate my intentions, pressing their breasts tightly against my side.
As I ostentatiously kneaded their ample breasts and buttocks to the adventurers—a soft sigh came from the table where the adventurers were gathered.
"Ha...I guessed it, but they really are the women of divine beasts..."
"No...how could a monster tame those kinds of women..."
"And not just one, but four..."
"...So it really isn't Lady Celestia?"
"Wow...the arms and hands of divine beasts, are they really that huge...?"
"That's right...seeing the arms of divine beasts, you can understand those women a little better now, right?" "The chili peppers let out a sound that seemed somewhat unwilling. Have you even figured out the situation? Ladies, you can still offer interesting opinions despite seeing this. Thank you.
Hehe. This is quite interesting? I wasn't so jealous of the two of them before, but now the gazes of the four of them are quite piercing.
Is it because everyone has similar tattoos?
Pfft… Just experiencing this sense of superiority is worth getting this tattoo, right?
After Sera chooses the task she brought, I'll have my lewd beasts brush past those chili peppers…
"Lady Celestia! Lady Celestia! I heard you're here! Where are you!?"…?
What's going on?
Which bastard is randomly looking for my lewd beasts?
"Why are you always unresponsive! Please come out and say something!" Following the unpleasant voice towards the entrance of the management office, a well-dressed man stood arrogantly.
A middle-aged man who appeared to be from the wealthy class or aristocracy.
"What the hell are you doing with those damned monster brats! Are you trying to invade my business territory?!!" "After hearing the man's shout, the smiles of my lewd beasts gradually turned cold."
