Chapter 845: The Morning after The Night Fades

Once the beautiful nightlife of Vel’Ashera faded, an almost completely different atmosphere emerged.

The loud taverns and drunken laughter slowly gave way to an almost different world.

Morning mist drifted between blackstone streets as the fragrant scents of curry, grilled meat, fresh bread, and spices from across the continent slowly filled the air.

Merchants reopened their stalls beneath glowing mana signs, while sleepy adventurers wandered through crowded food districts searching for breakfast after long nights of drinking.

The city lost its seductive aura and became a warm, welcoming hub.

Meanwhile, back inside the high-class inn, Asmodeus leaned on his elbow, quietly admiring his sleeping wife’s face.

The morning light sifting through the enormous glass windows painted soft blue reflections across the sheets and her bare skin. Soft blonde hair spread messily over the pillows while faint marks decorated her neck, thighs, and chest from the rough night they shared.

Erika slept deeply, with a smile on her lips.

One leg remained tangled possessively around his waist beneath the blankets, almost as though she feared he might disappear if she loosened her grip.

She lay with half the quilt covering her body, the other half exposed to the cool, outside air, revealing her small pink buds.

"Mmmm."

Even while asleep, she clung to him.

The room itself carried traces of their long night, the scent of sweat, perfume and sex lingering along with scattered clothes they tossed aside carelessly. Meanwhile, the luxurious bath near the far wall still steamed faintly from where Erika insisted they wash together sometime before dawn.

Though admittedly, that bath only led to another round.

"Erika."

His eyes drifted lower, briefly savouring the sights.

The blankets barely covered the curves of her body now, revealing glimpses of smooth, tanned skin and the marks his hands left behind. Several dried streaks of white still lingered faintly along her thighs and stomach.

She didn’t respond to his call.

’What a silly woman, why do you exert yourself so much?’

He couldn’t help but scoff, letting her remain resting on his arm.

Asmodeus exhaled quietly through his nose.

"...You really exhausted yourself."

"Hm...?" Erika stirred faintly before slowly opening one sleepy blue eye. "That’s rich coming from the guy who kept breeding me like his life depended on it..."

"Breeding... are you a perverted otaku? And just who was it encouraging me to make our next child during the middle?!"

"Ehehe..." Her lips curled weakly. "Fair point..."

Still half asleep, the blonde demoness lazily rubbed her cheek against his chest before mumbling:

"...Carry me home later."

"You don’t want breakfast first?"

She yawned softly, glancing up at him, before groaning as she rolled into the quilt. "Too tired, it’s all because of you! Ahh... my pussy is so swollen and sore...!"

Asmodeus laughed under his breath at her dramatic actions.

The sight of the usually confident knight who pretended to be fine without him now hiding beneath the blankets while complaining about something she begged him to do.

"Oh?" He lifted part of the quilt slightly. "Let me see how tragic the damage is. Maybe this demon emperor can help you cure it."

"Ryuji!"

Erika immediately grabbed the blanket again with a scandalised gasp, though her bright red cheeks completely ruined the effect.

"Have some shame!"

"You were the one begging me not to stop last night."

"...That was emotionally different."

"Hm."

He cocked his head to the side, his hair dangling off the side of the bed while grinning at the weakened demoness.

The blonde demoness narrowed one sleepy eye at him before weakly kicking his leg beneath the sheets.

"Don’t hum at me." She pouted. "I can literally feel your cum sloshing inside me every time I move."

"Ugh... why does that make me so hard?"

Asmodeus’ eyes drifted down instinctively.

Erika noticed immediately.

"Absolutely not." She pointed at him warningly despite still being half buried beneath the blankets. "No looking. My dignity is already dead."

"You say that while naked."

"We’re married. It’s different."

He could only shake his head slowly.

"I wonder how many guests heard the cat yowling all night in my room..." He mused, still enjoying Erika’s reactions.

The morning sunlight flickered across her face, forcing Erika to cover her eyes with both hands while groaning more. The expensive sheets dropped to the floor in a tangled mess, filled with her ripe scent.

It was moments like this that Asmodeus liked the most.

When his wives were completely bare, all their actions, words, and outer layers meant to protect them vanished like a cheeky gyaru knight who suddenly became a docile little wife who lazily clung to him inside a luxury inn after a night of sex.

"...Hey," she mumbled quietly.

"Mhm?"

Her blue eyes peeked at him through the blankets.

"You know..." She yawned a second time as if hiding her embarrassment. "I really liked this."

"The hotel?"

"The whole thing." Erika shifted closer again until her forehead rested against his chest. "Sneaking around the city... eating together... acting like a normal couple..." Her lips curled faintly. "Then getting absolutely destroyed in a love hotel."

Asmodeus snorted.

"What a romantic conclusion."

"Mhm, what a peak marriage... now~ you have to carry me home and tuck me into my bed!"

Asmodeus looked down at the smug little smile on her sleepy face. Despite barely being able to move properly, Erika somehow still acted victorious. But he didn’t dislike this side of his wives when they showed such interesting reactions.

"And what exactly do I gain from this arrangement?" he asked calmly.

The blonde demoness immediately lifted one finger dramatically from beneath the blankets.

"Mmm... unlimited wife privileges."

"You already have those."

"Damn." She frowned seriously. "You’re right."

Asmodeus chuckled softly while brushing his fingers through her messy golden hair.

Erika practically melted beneath the touch.

After a short while, she clung to his chest and pulled herself closer to his ear, whispering. "If you carry me home, then I’ll let you use this hole right now..." Her hand slipped down to her buttocks and slowly spread them apart. "You like anal, right?"

Asmodeus stared at her silently for several seconds.

Then slowly glanced downward.

Erika’s hand remained spread behind herself beneath the blankets, subtly parting her soft cheeks while peeking up at him with an expression far too smug for someone who could barely walk.

"...You little pervert."

"Ehehe~"

Despite her teasing tone, he could see from her bright red cheeks that this perverted girl actually just wanted to do it again.

But he didn’t expose her.

Because he enjoyed how she would expose herself like a fool.

"Asmodeus..." Her voice softened slightly. "You looked really interested last night..."

Even her voice became sickly sweet as she pressed her entire weight against his chest—the softness of her breasts... the heat of her breath down his neck.

All of it made him want to forget restraint.

Asmodeus’ hand slid slowly along her waist beneath the blankets, his warm fingers traced lower and lower, until they settled against the curve of her ass.

Erika’s body shivered, "Nn... are you interested?"

His thumb gently pressed between her cheeks.

The blonde demoness buried her face against his chest with a muffled groan.

"Oh my god..."

"So sensitive already?"

"Y-You kept breeding me all night..." she complained weakly. "My whole body’s sensitive..."

Despite her words, however, she slowly spread her legs apart beneath the blankets for him again as if to invite him deeper into her lair of carnal desire.

Asmodeus whispered in her ear. "And if I use this hole now?"

Erika trembled visibly as her breath became uneven and rushed almost immediately.

"T-Then..."

She swallowed softly, while squeezing his shoulders, and peeking up at his face.

"You have to carry me properly afterwards..."

His fingers squeezed tighter, sinking deeper into her flesh, just enough to make her hips twitch. He gently circled her entrance with his thumb, a mocking smile on his lips as she squirmed beneath him.

"And?"

"And..." There was a subtle change in her voice as it became a weak, needy whisper. "You have to praise me too..."

Asmodeus laughed quietly beneath his breath, then rolled her body completely beneath him, face-first into the sheets. He pressed himself against her back, the warmth of her soft figure clinging to him as he pressed his growing length between her buttocks.

"Can you feel how you make me feel when acting so cute?"

Erika gasped sharply as the sheets tangled around her body while his larger frame pinned her effortlessly against the bed once more.

Silver eyes stared down at her with a dark, hungry aura.

"...Greedy wife."

Erika only smiled nervously as she raised her hips, pressing against his shaft, letting the tip slip lower, kissing her moist entrance with a wet squish.

"It’s too late to complain now, hubby..." Her eyes narrowed as she pushed back, his tip spreading her entrance and sinking glans deep. "Let’s fuck!"

The swollen tip had already slipped halfway into her soaking pussy before she realised what she had instinctively done.

"...Ah."

Asmodeus stared down at her flatly.

"Hey..." He raised an eyebrow slowly. "That’s not your ass."

"Oh, just shut up and enjoy it!"

Despite her embarrassment, she took a resilient stance.

Her hips unconsciously pushed down further, greedily swallowing more of his cock into her drenched warmth with another wet squelch.

"Haa..."

Her eyes fluttered weakly.

"Y-You were touching me weirdly..." she complained breathlessly. "My body got confused..."

"Your body?"

"Mhm..." Erika bit her lip. "It just wants your cock inside already..."

Asmodeus shook his head, unable to deny he wanted her even more after she teased him.

He slowly dragged her hips into the air until only the swollen tip remained inside her. The slow stretch of her insides made Erika whine like a cat in heat, before he deliberately slammed his hips against hers.

"Then don’t blame me when you leave here completely sore and swollen!"

Erika cried out sharply.

"Ahhn~!"

The brutal thrust knocked the breath from her lungs instantly as his cock buried itself deep inside her soaking cunt once more. Wet sounds exploded beneath the blankets while her entire body jolted violently against the mattress.

"R-Ryuji!"

Her nails dug into the sheets as he began pounding her senseless.

And so, at least in one part of Vel’Ashura, the vibrant and seductive atmosphere lingered.

For several hours.
