Chapter 33
We spent the time before the conference going over maps and things around the world to try and get Erisu the knowledge she needs and she took a lot of it in quickly. Someone who had to remember dance sets and song words naturally remembered things that were told to her.
Then the conference started and Dhalia brought the three of us with her. Erisu was dressed in a white robe as it was ceremonial to introduce her that way. Because the robes don’t attach to her body she looks over weight since her breasts push out the fabric so far.
I’m not going to say anything though. We arrive at the conference. Justin and I take our seats within the crowd while Mom walks forward where she meets with Xeneva and other world leaders. They sit at a round table with their respective factions gathering behind them.
Justin: “There’s a lot of people here.”
Roy: “It’s a colosseum, so it’s expected to be large.”
Justin: “The hero is probably a huge event for them. The girls were telling me.”
Roy: “The girls? You’ve really made a name for yourself haven’t you?”
Justin: “I just found out I was much better in the sack than I thought.”
The three girls Chrissy, Edna and Arwen seemed to be around him all the time trying to make sure he didn’t see anyone else. They came to him for advice on investing as well. Seemed like they were setting something up together.
Justin: “You know, you should really come find some of the girls sometime. There’s quite a bit of interest in you as the son of the Adventurer and Merchant Guild Masters.”
Roy: “You know that means they’re interested in my status more than me right? Besides, I’ve already made a promise to wait for Erisu so I’m going to hold to it.”
Justin: “What if she goes with someone else in that time?”
Roy: “She won’t because she knows being a virgin makes the sealing more effective, but if she ends up falling in love with someone else since young girls are fickle then I’ll move on. It’ll only be a few years from now, besides if I screw up and she becomes distracted due to me and the demons take over the I’m screwed either way.”
Justin: “Young girls like her can be emotionally fragile with the guys they like, still it’s hard to imagine she took a liking to you.”
Roy: “It’s hard to imagine I’m reincarnated and you’re here with me in this world.”
It’s even harder to imagine that the so called ‘translator’ from Australia and his website, and the ‘author’ were actually writing events that happened in a world of cultivation while Dong Chen is real. I mean, I’m glad I’m here but I can’t help but wonder why. I don’t want this to turn into one of those situations where I’m doing things that regular humans should not be doing with their own family.
Erisu is good, just wait for her to grow up and then take her as my wife. She’ll be stronger by then and with her status as the heroine I shouldn’t have too many difficulties in life. She still hasn’t fully matured, I mean she’s already so beautiful so when she matures how much more charming can she get?
She’ll be taller than me, but I don’t think she would mind me being a bit shorter. It’s funny because I look the same I did previously.
Dhalia was sitting in the center of the conference where there were dozens of kingdoms gathered. They had all teleported in courtesy of the the Adventurer Headquarters having many openings. This was Adventure City after all.
Justin: “Man, seeing all the different races. There’s only like four vampires though.”
Roy: “Mom did say the vampires were rare. I don’t think I can keep up with all the different race in attendance.”
Justin: “Continent is a huge place according to the map. Human lands only take a small portion of it.”
Everyone filed in and took their seats before Dhalia stood up at and walked to the center. There was a majestic grace about her that was not normally seen when I was close that was present now.
Dhalia: “Everyone who has gathered, I welcome you all to Adventure City and this conference. As you know, the Demon Lord is returning soon. In the history of this world, this continent is where the heroine is born as what has always been through the annuals of history. As the last Heroine was impure, the sealing was weak and we have gathered here once again in five hundred rather than five thousand years.”
Five thousand years? So this continent is much older than I thought. Years just go by like water I guess.
Dhalia continued her speech.
Dhalia: “This Heroine is the youngest she can be and will now come and take the sacred sword of sealing which will reveal her purity.”
Dhalia waved her hand and Erisu stepped forward. She reached her hand out and held the sword then raised it above her head towards the sky. The colosseum was open to air and the sun shined down on her as she lifted the sword towards the sky.
A spirit then came out of the sword as it glowed, the spirit was a woman who floated in the air with white hair and silver eyes. Wearing a flowing robe that bared her shoulders the sun flared around her in a soft glow.
The spirit first turned to the crowd.
Spirit: “This is a pure maiden and as such the full benefit of the sealing sword will be granted to her so long as she remains.”
The spirit then turned to Erisu.
Spirit: “Please young maiden, tell me your name. I am Purus, the spirit of the sealing sword. I will guide you on your journey to sealing demons back into their own realm.”
Erisu took a bow towards the spirit.
Erisu: “Great Spirit Purus-San, I am Erisu who has come to this world. I hope to live up to your expectations.”
Spirit: “I am glad to hear young maiden. The last Heroine to appear was impure and I was not able to provide the entirety of my powers as it rejected part of her. With you, we can perform a full sealing and the world will receive a long age of peace from demons. This world was lucky the last time when five exterminators emerged to help the heroine, but the invasion will be even stronger this time to compensate for the exterminator’s help.”
The spirit faded into the sword as Erisu placed it into a scabbard. There was a strap so that she could put it over her back. The crowd began to cheer and the leaders each began to stand up.
The first was the Empress of the Rose empire. Her face was covered completely as not one bit of skin showed itself. It was said she was beautiful underneath, and she was the most powerful sword master in the world.
Around the empress were hundreds of female body guards, all armed with good muscle definition and sharp swords. They wore no armor, and their clothing was tight showing off their amazingly fit bodies.
Dhalia had said the Rose Empire has the most powerful soldiers and they were women trained from a young age. Their swords could cut through steel and their skill was honed everyday. While the empire did have the standard male foot soldiers, it was only the elite female unit known as Valkyries that had never lost a battle since they were established twenty years ago.
Valkyries… such a cliche name.
Roy: “Justin, don’t you think the bikini armor trope is being used here?”
Justin: “What do you mean?”
Roy: “I mean they don’t wear any armor.”
Justin: “Don’t you watch that one weapons guy on that you… something video streaming services?”
Roy: “I haven’t had access to the internet in eighteen years man.”
Justin: “Well, alright, so you know that guy shardversity or something. I can’t remember his name. He did a historical video exploring the concept of bikini armor and found that it would actually be effective for a certain kind of fighter. Heavy armor causes exhaustion, so if they’re elite and they have sharp swords that can cut through anything, then not wearing armor is actually better because they can move faster and cut harder.”
Roy: “Really?”
I seem to remember all the videos making fun of bikini armor. Not much of this here it seems. Most of the crowd I found wouldn’t dare look at those women even though a lot of them were pretty from where I was sitting, which was near the front row to Dhalia.
The Empress stood in front of Erisu who was visibly shaken and intimidated. The Empress has that kind of presence after all, being the woman in charge of an entire empire.
Empress: “Heroine, I offer you my training. We will start tomorrow. Good sword skills means better use of the sealing sword. As I am also a woman, and so are my guards, you will not have to fear any loss of purity while training with us. The training will last six months and I will turn you from a novice into warrior.”
Dhalia nodded to Erisu who turned back to her wondering what she should say. Erisu looked back to the Empress and bowed.
Erisu: “I thank you Empress.”
The Empress nodded then went back to her seat as the next monarch got up to make his own offering. Erisu ended up getting a light sleeveless armor outfit, a strong satchel that can hold magical items, a shield made of dragon scales and several other useful materials.
Then it was the Holy Temple’s turn. With them was a young teenage girl with long blond hair and robes similar to those you would see in church anime’s. Wearing white she bowed.
Sarai: “Greetings Heroine, I am Sarai, an orphan who was blessed by the spirit of the goddess. I will be your healer.”
Then it was the Arcane Sanctum’s turn where a woman dressed in all sorts of different colors and a wizard like hat came forward. She had crimson hair and a nice bust with a deep valley that hung out inviting all eyes to stare at it, though she was still smaller than Erisu herself.
Mana: “Greetings Heroine, I am Mana. I am a sorceress born with the gift of mana. I will help you clear the way.”
Mana bowed as Erisu accepted her as well into her party. Then there were a few other monarchs who had princesses who had trained in the sword who also wished to join the party. Not all of them were beautiful, some were overweight and you had to wonder if the Kingdoms were just trying to get rid of them because they were unable to be married off or trying to increase their stock to another kingdom.
The Heroine’s party would be all female so there would be no defiling of any of them. It was forbidden for any of them to enter relationships until after the sealing was complete.
I mean, a bunch of teenage girls going on an adventure. What could possibly go wrong?
