Leveling Up with My Adorable Monster Girl Harem!

Chapter 70: Hero

It had been too shocking for the dwarf to see his mecha getting so easily broken.

He also didn't know about Leon's class, so he didn't even think of killing himself or destroying his brain to keep his knowledge safe from foreign hands.

He had just died like that.

Leon took out the card and checked its quality before summoning him. "He's epic grade, too. Well, that's already too much for a beginner like me, so I have much to look forward to."

With his clothes wasted, Bert appeared before his master. Of course, his consciousness had been safely transferred to Leon's card, too, owing to the chains and the collar. Leon had ensured he'd have a pair for the dwarf to not lose any precious information.

Bert's heart had been corrupted by fake loyalty, too.

Leon glared at him, ordering. "Make those broken parts smaller."

Because the monster didn't have inventory, Leon believed that the dwarf had other means to store the equipment. To his surprise, the broken mecha became like a chain vest, a cloth one could wear beneath the armor. The dwarf respectfully passed it to Leon, then his head drooped.

Now that the mecha became a broken piece of equipment, Leon easily stuffed that into his inventory.

He then turned the dwarf back to the card form, not planning to have any conversation with him. His presence also made Louise stand with cold eyes and heart, so Leon spared himself from her gaze.

But even in that killer mode, Louise's eyes seemed gentler.

With the dwarf gone, Louise returned to herself. "Master! I've watched your battle, and you were so cool!"

"I'm sure you did many cool and nimble moves, too, Louise." Leon couldn't stop himself from patting her hair and scratching Louise's fox ears, making her squeeze her eyes and tremble from ticklish feelings.

Celes came close, too, as though expecting something as well.

Other than giving her a bite, Leon didn't know what he could offer. He knew it wasn't an appropriate time for sucking her blood or giving her his neck, for their bitting sessions always ended with both of them tightly cuddling.

Louise would pout and surely make ambiguous noises — Leon wanted to avoid that.

But from her gaze, Leon inferred he'd fuck up significantly if he were to just say something. He quickly decided, then extended his hands for the vampiress' body. With her in his arms, Leon gave her a tight hug, then, as though saying something, Leon leaned closer and planted a gentle kiss on her nape.

Tilting her head, Celes' eyes rocked, a spark of anticipation rushing through her, blooming in her red and lovely eyes... Those shone like red moons, a light that drew Louise's attention — the fox glowered at the vampiress.

Leon then looked into her eyes. "For later."

Since Louise had her [No Pass], then Celes had received a kiss on her neck that told her that she'd be able to draw her master at an appropriate time. He'd bite and suck her blood, and she'd drape her softness over him.

But of course, that was for later.

Celes nodded, then wheeled to Louise, starting a staring contest with her.

Both knew that it was inevitable. But in Celes' case, she didn't need a deep reason to share a man with someone. In the vampire royal courts, it was common. And she wasn't stupid enough to fight for Leon, for he'd already shared some of his views and questions, looking out for new happiness.

Moreover, Louise was like a little sister. She'd have a lot of fun with her.

With them having their own fun, Leon decided to take a rest. He perched himself on the bed, then opened the chat room, looking forward to news. Some people should've already noticed the Winterborn and the blue dragon fighting against each other.

Leon wanted to know others' thoughts.

But to his surprise, the real chaos had begun in the split spirit realm.

[Envil An: The Spirit Monsters with a brain had revealed themselves! They're forcing everyone into submission and want us to sign contracts with them! However, their contract is one-sided and basically turns us into their slaves!]

[Erratic: So, yeah… Uh, they have won against the Silver Wing Guild and seized the crack. If there's anyone inside the split spirit realm, brace yourselves.]

Leon squinted his eyes and parted his lips. "You want to enslave them, so they're doing the same to you. With new contracts, they'll be able to safely leave their realm, I guess? That has to be it."

No one answered him, so Leon looked up. Finding Celes and Louise sharing their battles against the blue asura, Leon noticed the vampiress talking about biting others' necks. He felt like he'd seen her looking his way, troubled. But she was so fast he wasn't sure.

Talking much faster and louder, Celes embraced Louise from behind and ran her finger across her neck. "They didn't even know when I snatched a piece of their flesh. You might be the same, Louise."

"Hmph!" Louise harrumphed, then with her chin high, she declared again. "Only Master can bite me!"

"Really?" Celes asked a rhetorical question in her slow and teasing voice, her breath tickling Louise's ear.

Louise looked behind and glared. "Really! If you try to do it, I'll really break your nose!"

"I'm so scared I will run away to Master." Celes let the scarlet fox go, then made her way to Leon, but once again, she was a tad different from her usual self.

She didn't amble, and her little hands held no booze. She had approached him in such a different way!

"Master, I've produced these for you." Celes took out her precious threads from her inventory, then cupped her hands and presented the new item to her master, appearing bashful as though she was a high-schooler giving her crush chocolate on a valentine's day.

Leon curiously cast a glance at her hands, then picked the bloody threads. "That's… excellent crafting material. I might be able to make some cool stuff with them. You girls saw my pajama, right?"

"Yes, Master…" Celes nodded, smiling. "Those are very precious to me. I hope you'll make good use of them… Maybe you can try sewing panties for me?"

It was a pretty bold request, but Leon didn't mind. Celes rarely asked him for something.

And Leon liked giving presents to others. Now that he had classes and skills, he wouldn't just buy a product but make it himself.

He smiled and nodded. "We only have a few red threads, so your panties might be pretty thin."

Celes didn't mind and parted her lips to reply.

But her master was faster. "Get more of these, though. I don't think anyone can get their hands on bloody threads. With you by my side, we might be able to make really good stuff. It'd be nice to have more equipment of a high grade."

Even with many items, everyone had limited spots in their inventory, let alone their bodies.

Celes' bloody threads already gave off an epic or maybe even legendary-grade feeling, so with such material, Leon believed he'd be able to make a lot of good stuff to boost his team's stats.

He didn't know how much Celes loved his idea. "I'll not disappoint you, Master!"

She sounded so relieved and excited that Leon knew she'd do a great job gathering those. She even grasped her cheeks out of happiness, gently shaking her lovely little head.

'Ah, she's so cute… Louise should be worried, for she might lose her crown of adorableness!' Leon jested inwardly, feeling great now that Celes found some purpose and things to do in her new life — things that made her happier.

Leon hoped she'd soon reveal the origin of those and how precious they were for her.

He then brought out the spirit realm's matters. "Seems like the spirit monsters conquered the crack… It's a perfect time to receive the invitation to the main guild, right?"

Because of his previous life, Leon's ambitions stretched to the mass. He wanted once again to hear people screaming out his name like his fans had done on Earth and be in the center of the attention. Though it was like being a hero, Leon naturally had a profit in mind.

He'd become a hero for the Heaven Library Guild.

He wished to save them all and then get noticed by the main guild.

It'd open a lot of ways for him to improve in a new world.

"How do you feel about that?" Leon asked his friends, for their opinions were important.

Louise sweetly smiled and wholeheartedly agreed with her master. "I want to help people, too!"

She was a good girl, wasn't she?

"Since we have a good reason to play a hero card, I'm on board with your plan, Master." Celes always was like a different voice in Leon's team, but even now, she agreed with his idea.

They had received a lot from the split spirit realm, but grinding for more was fine.

The vampiress didn't pursue the topic and just sipped on her liquor.

Leon nodded, then wheeled to Louise, deeply looking at her. "We aren't charity, Louise. Remember that. We won't be able to save everyone, so don't mind sacrificing others."

He didn't know whether Louise's cold side would come out while helping out others.

Deep inside her heart, Louise's a nice and adorable girl. Leon believed that she'd do her best to save others.

But he had to remind her that saving everyone was simply impossible.

Louise clenched her hands and reciprocated her master's gaze. "Yes, Master! Will we also help Winterborn since it'd be good to build a relationship with them?"

Leon gave it some thought, then nodded.
