Inside the spaceship, the atmosphere was tense and heavy.
"Zastin, I've given you three days. You know, I've never been this patient before," the cool and noble-looking young woman said, propping her cheek on her fist while swirling a glass of red wine in her other hand. She took a slow sip.
"La-Lady Rhea, please calm down. We will do our best to contact Lady Lala and the Young Master as soon as possible," Zastin said, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead. He wanted to cry. Why did this terrifying woman have to come to Earth, and why now, of all times, when Lady Lala and the Young Master were away?
"Young Master?"
"Hmph, he has yet to receive my approval, or Lady Sephie's."
The woman's gaze swept over Zastin, her voice light but cold.
Feeling as if he had just been stared down by a giant beast, Zastin's heart nearly leaped out of his chest. He could only smile wryly to himself. Young Master, oh, Young Master, I really can't help you this time.
"Speaking of which, this is quite a peaceful and beautiful planet," the woman said, a slight curve on her lips as she looked at the image of Earth on the screen.
"Indeed. Untouched by the wars of the cosmos, a peaceful planet like Earth is hard to find anywhere in the galaxy."
"And this planet has many things that are rare on other worlds—interesting manga, delicious food… If you are interested, Lady Rhea, allow me to give you a tour."
Though he didn't know why she was suddenly talking about this, Zastin quickly seized the opportunity. With Lady Lala and the Young Master still out of contact, any excuse to stall this woman was a good one.
"Zastin, it seems you've grown quite fond of this planet," the woman said, a look of ridicule flashing in her eyes.
"Er… this planet is very special. I have indeed grown fond of it," Zastin replied, a bad feeling rising in his gut, but he had no choice but to answer.
"You really are fond of it… In that case, I will—"
"Destroy it."
Her expression was playful, but her voice was endlessly cold.
"Lady Rhea, please—"
Zastin cried out in alarm, but before he could say anything more, the woman waved her hand. Zastin cried out in pain and was sent flying without any chance to resist.
"The fiancé of Princess Lala… I wonder if you will be angry when you return to find your planet has been destroyed…"
"Land the ship. Connect me to all of this planet's communication networks!"
…
"Rin, Aya, isn't vacation over yet?" Saki asked, lounging on the sofa and flipping through TV channels.
"Lady Saki, you've already asked that question a thousand times in the past few days."
"Lady Saki, vacation is almost over. Lord Sora will be back soon. Please pull yourself together."
Looking at their master, who was clearly suffering from lovesickness, Rin and Aya were both exasperated and worried.
"Ugh… I can't pull myself together if I can't see my prince…"
Saki buried her face in a pillow and kicked her feet like a petulant child. Rin and Aya exchanged a look and sighed.
Her entire heart was consumed with thoughts of her prince. After kicking for a while, Saki threw the pillow aside and sat up, randomly pressing buttons on the remote in frustration.
"Huh, what's this…?"
She noticed the TV screen flickering strangely. Suddenly, the image of a woman appeared. Saki let out a small sound of surprise, and Rin and Aya looked over.
The commercials that had been playing on the screen were gone, replaced by a silver-haired woman in military attire. She had a commanding presence, and though her aura was so cold it was chilling even through the TV, her face was so beautiful it was almost unreal. Even the usually proud Saki felt a pang of jealousy.
"Who is this? A new celebrity?"
"Hmph, she's not bad, but she's still a long way from catching up to me, the great Lady Saki!"
Saki snorted narcissistically and was about to change the channel, finding this sudden appearance of a rival annoying.
However, after flipping through several channels, she saw the same woman's face on every one. Saki, already in a bad mood, finally snapped.
What is this girl's problem? Won't she let anyone watch TV? What's she trying to do, hogging every screen? Is she trying to challenge me?
Just as Saki was about to angrily throw the remote at the TV, the woman on the screen began to speak.
"People of Earth, greetings. I am Rhea Aslan Deviluke, First Knight and Strongest Valkyrie of Planet Deviluke."
"This planet you call Earth is indeed beautiful and peaceful. However, for certain reasons, I have decided to destroy it."
"You have one day. From the moment of this declaration, you will have one day to save your planet."
"Now, struggle. Try your best, people of Earth. Show me if you have any reason to exist."
With a beautiful yet endlessly cold smile, like a demon's declaration, the woman finished speaking. The screen changed, showing a massive spaceship slowly descending from the sky and hovering over a city.
"What are these TV stations thinking? This isn't a funny joke at all!"
Finally snapping out of her daze, Saki threw the remote down in a huff. The memory of the woman's arrogant and cold demeanor on the TV screen filled her with rage.
"La-Lady Saki!"
Rin and Aya tugged on Saki's sleeve and pointed out the window, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.
"What is it?" Saki asked impatiently, still fuming. She turned to look where they were pointing.
One look was all it took. Saki's jaw dropped, and she froze, completely stunned. Her mouth hung open wide enough to fit an egg.
There, in the sky outside her window, was a massive, hovering spaceship!
…
On a certain part of Planet Batrong, a large tent was pitched. A mountain-sized Tyrannosaurus and an equally large ape were sleeping soundly on either side of it.
Inside the tent, torn clothes were scattered everywhere. Sora lay in the middle, with Risa, Mio, Lala, and Ryouko crowded around him.
It was obvious what had happened in here not long ago. Even now, traces of their wild night lingered in the air.
Since being violated by the great demon king Sora, Ryouko had accepted her fate. She was a mature and intelligent woman, and she knew what choice she had to make.
As Sora had said, she had seen this day coming. Since she couldn't resist this brat, she could only obediently submit to him.
And so, from that day on, Ryouko became one of Sora's women. Every day, she, along with Risa and the others, endured the great demon king's teasing and training. And whenever he wanted it, she had to obediently offer her mature and alluring body for his pleasure.
She knew her situation was tragic, but what was even more tragic was that, not only did she not resent the brat who had violated her, but as time went on, she found herself becoming addicted to those feelings.
Alright, Ryouko knew she was beyond saving. She had completely and utterly fallen…
Beep, beep, beep… Beep, beep, beep…
In the quiet tent, the communication bracelet on Lala's wrist suddenly started beeping.
She sat up drowsily. A holographic screen projected from the bracelet. She tapped it, and Zastin's voice, filled with joyful surprise, came through.
"Thank goodness, I finally got through!"
"Lady Lala, something terrible has happened…"
Still half-asleep and nodding off, it took a while after the communication ended for Lala to finally react.
"Sora, wake up. Sora, wake up!"
After a wild night with the four girls, Sora hadn't been asleep for long. He opened his eyes drowsily.
"What's wrong, Lala?" he asked, stroking her cheek, wondering why she was waking him up so early.
"Sora, we have to go back quickly! Earth is in danger!"
