Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Obviously, looks could be deceiving and we really shouldn't judge a book by its cover but there wasn't anything wrong about using our eyes and being a little judgemental.

It wasn't like we should be calm and collected when we saw a knife-wielding addict roaming around with a deranged look on his face then suddenly heading straight for us because I'd either put him down if I was armed or run for my fucking life.

Either way, both our statements didn't mean any harm though I did come back to check my cupboard if I had any bee pollen for my cereal.

"What's that?" The three asked almost at the same time again.

"Just a little something-something for a little something-something. It wouldn't hurt to take it since it does have some health benefits."

June asked, "Can I have some?"

"Sure, a teaspoon will do or just shake the bottle a little and let a few bits drop."

Ilana turned to me, "Really, what benefits does it—"

"Helps with menopause—"

"PFFFFT!!!/AHHHHHHHHHH!/PUUUUAHAHAHAHAH!!! DAMMIT!"

I chortled, "I mean it's one of them? Hahaha… But yeah, it's an antioxidant, helps with stress, helps a little with weight loss, et cetera, et cetera~"

"You got this from Edith, too?"

"I have a few bottles in stock but they sent me some of those too. I guess my supply with them wouldn't run out—aside from the skin care products everyone else had already divvied up. Shit's insane."

Ilana looked at me the same way as Mr. Garciano did, "W-What skincare products?"

Funnily enough, Nancy came down in her PJs, rubbing her eyes before glancing at us—but it took her a few seconds of loading time before she realized we were real people and we were staring right at her.

It was chaos for a few seconds right after that though she was more than accommodating to ask the Rivas Family for another shipment of skincare products if I could pick it up myself again with my helicopter.

From then on, she went back wearing her usual maid uniform—which we weren't even requiring her to wear but she was insisting on—and joined us for a bit before heading straight to my aunt's place to help with breakfast.

But yeah, it looked like Ilana wanted to bring up 'that' subject with us and the only reason she wasn't was because the Admiral's daughter was sitting right with us. So yeah, we just have to find the right time to open such a topic but I'm pretty sure we'd be able to talk about what she uncovered today or maybe later this night.

However, another person—I mean, another couple came in at the same time and it was Jennifer and Rachel who had been doing their own thing for a good minute.

"'Sup you fucking stud? You still alive after what we did to you?"

I chuckled as I rolled my eyes, "I remember that night very~~~ differently."

Rachel nodded at me, "I believe everyone passed out at least once and none of us were able to walk properly for hours. He basically stacked us side by side so we could sleep—"

"Hey! C'mon! Was just trying to sound cool, back me up a bit! No— wait, straight-up lie for me!"

"Pfft— Nope!"

I waved them off, "What were you guys up to the times you didn't join us in the train stations?"

Rachel answered, "Oh! We've been to a few places to perform maintenance checks with all your aircraft with Micah— We even dropped by Manila too to see this Mayor though they have more boats than planes. Had to procure a few for them which he greatly appreciated."

"Procure?"

Jennifer chuckled, "Basically Grand Theft Auto but with a helicopter— It was the dumbest but the coolest idea we've thought of in a while and Micah was all for it."

"Why haven't I heard of this…"

Rachel started to scratch the back of her head, "Don't get mad, alright? You see almost all helis are atop buildings, right? So… We had a group clear a roof while Micah's piloting a heli and I get the one on the roof running…"

"WHAT?!"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Don't get mad—"

Jennifer rolled her eyes, "What could he do?"

I flicked a cereal in each of their foreheads, "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME?! I COULD'VE JOINED! THAT'S SO AWESOME!"

"..."

"..."

"The fuck you guys so silent for?!"

"Pfft…"

"HAHAHAHAHA! WE'RE SO FUCKING SORRY, WE HAD ALREADY TAKEN EVERY HELICOPTER WE COULD IN MANILA!"

"WHAT?! DAMMIT!"

Rachel tried to soften the blow, "T-There are a few in the following cities we can go to next time?"

I slumped down and drank my cereal soup, "Mm-hmm…"

Jennifer suddenly got behind me and put me in a headlock, "You sulky motherfucker, you were so busy on your trains, right?! How could you have found the time?!"

"S-S-STILL!"

"Oh? Lil' bro could still talk, huh? Are you really that pissed or do you just want me to take care of you? You've rested well enough, right?"

Rachel just joined the other three as she sighed, "Here we go…"

Long story short, Jennifer tried to solo me in the first-floor bathroom but with me just having half a breakfast and some good fucking sleep, ten of her wasn't even enough to make my spider senses tingle. However, we still had sacrificial lambs in the kitchen and it was still the early morning so I basically had turns with everyone while on their stools and they very much welcomed the extra milk.

But yeah, everyone else woke up in due time and we had proper breakfast but after a couple of hours, I called over the first of the few of these young soldiers I was training to become proper warriors.

'Did I just fucking say that? Cringe… Ugh…'

In any case, the first one to come up was Williams, who belongs to the 'Death Squad' led by Tennyson. She was wearing a soldier's uniform without her gear and she had her puffy hairstyle tightly wound to a curly ponytail.
