Chapter 9.1 - The Terrifying and Romantic Night in an Inn of the Nameless Town Part 1 (1/2)
In the vicinity of a nameless town, Clyde went out to fetch water, but beyond his expectations, he brought back Valkyrie. From the very beginning, Valkyrie Cynthia, one of the seven Great Valkyries of this different world’s God Race, had known that she was not Clyde’s opponent, but she had still attacked him. Now, she greatly regretted that decision. Clyde had not even been the target of her original mission. For her arrogance, she had lost big this time. Not only had she been effortlessly defeated by the other party, but her bare body had also been completely seen.
“Miss Cynthia, you and I are from different camps. Why should I take you away?”
“This… you want remuneration? I don’t have anything. Wait; don’t go! What do you want?”
The sky darkened, and Cynthia could no longer persist. Her aloof tone from before became much gentler and softer. She knew that there was a big disparity between her and Clyde’s strengths. She had just taken a glance at him, and she had already been injured to this extent. In addition, she felt like all her energy had been stripped away. Such a strength surpassed even Light God King, the master of the Divine Realm. For sure, Clyde was at least on the same level as the God of Creation.
“I have not finished thinking about what to ask for yet. Let me take you back with me first, Miss Cynthia. Please don’t move randomly and struggle; otherwise, I can only leave you out here.”
Cynthia felt humiliated as she nodded her head and let Clyde carry her in a princess-carry style. In the Divine Realm, she had always been an aloof existence. Not to mention carrying her, her many pursuers hadn’t even had the chance to hold her hand. However, beyond her wildest imagination, an existence from a hostile camp had seen her naked and was now carrying her in a princess-carry. This made her feel too ashamed to show her face.
Clyde didn’t care about Cynthia’s thoughts. He wouldn’t decline a chance to carry a beautiful girl free of charge. In the past, he had carried a similarly naked Lucifer, but Lucifer’s Lolita figure couldn’t compare to Cynitha’s onee-san type figure. The feeling was completely different. If it were not for him being unable to transform into a regular humanoid form, he would have already lost control and done strange things to Cynthia.
Cynthia also seemed to be worried about Clyde doing strange things to her; thus, all along the road, she took the initiative to chat with Clyde, wanting to distract his attention and not allow him the time to think about bad things. Clyde quickly found out about her past. Cynthia was one of the seven Great Valkyries of the Divine Realm. This time, she had descended to the Mortal Realm to crusade against the former Steinbeck Suzerain who had turned into a demon. After a mere hundred years, former Steinbeck Suzerain Duke Andrew had become a very troublesome existence.
Valkyrie Cynthia herself was rather impatient. She hadn’t even brought along the combat angels under her leadership and directly descended to the Mortal Realm alone. As a result, she had encountered Clyde who had the status of a Great Old One along the way. It was fortunate that she had not been killed on the spot and that Clyde had had no intention of killing her. Otherwise, Cynthia might have become the first Valkyrie of Divine Realm to mysteriously die in some desolate, forgotten place.
“Miss Cynthia, I have purchased Steinbeck Fief. I will deal with the matter of former suzerain Duke Andrew. Your Divine Realm doesn’t need to take the trouble of interfering here.”
“But, like this, I cannot explain it to the God King!”
“Then, you don’t need to explain anything. Let God King come and talk with me.”
“Clyde, you… you don’t have any relation with Demon Realm, do you?”
“Miss Cynthia, I know nothing about Demon Realm. Can it be that you want to give me a referral?”
“No, no! I was just casually asking. You don’t need to take it to heart. Truly, please don’t take it to heart.”
