I FOUND A DOOR TO TENSURA AND BECAME BROKEN IN THE REAL WORLD TOO-Chapter 74: An Unexpected Visit
Chapter 74 - An Unexpected Visit
The feast was in full swing,
The hall buzzing with laughter,
Clinking glasses,
And the savoring of Tempest's finest cuisine.
Ultima and Carrera
Were already on their second round
Of wine and mead,
While Testarossa
Leisurely enjoyed a delicate glass of rosé,
Occasionally casting playful glances my way.
Velzard,
Her cool elegance ever-present,
Sat beside me,
Occasionally feeding me small bites of fruit,
Smirking with playful possessiveness
Every time one of the Primordials Gazed at me for a moment too long.
Chloe,
Now comfortably lounging beside us,
Engaged in light banter
With Rimuru,
Her crystal-blue eyes sparkling
With warmth.
The air was light,
The atmosphere joyful,
Until suddenly—
The doors of the grand hall creaked open,
And one of the Tempest guards
Rushed in,
His face slightly pale with urgency.
He bowed respectfully,
His voice steady but firm:
"Lord Rimuru,
We have...
Visitors."
The entire hall
Turned their attention toward the entrance,
Their voices lowering slightly.
Rimuru,
Blinking in mild surprise,
Lowered his wine glass
And arched a curious brow:
"Visitors?
At this hour?"
He briefly exchanged glances
With Benimaru and Diablo,
Who were already on guard,
Their sharp eyes narrowing slightly.
Without hesitation,
Rimuru gestured toward the guard:
"Let them in."
The doors slowly opened,
And to the genuine shock
Of almost everyone present,
The visitors were none other than:
Guy Crimson,
The infamous Demon Lord of Wrath,
Accompanied by his two aides,
Rain and Misery.
Guy,
With his fiery crimson hair,
Flowing like molten lava,
And his piercing golden eyes,
Walked in casually,
His usual cocky grin
Playing on his lips.
Behind him,
Rain and Misery
Followed in perfect formation,
Their elegant black-and-red uniforms
Flowing gracefully
As they strode silently
Beside their master.
The hall fell silent
For a brief moment,
As even Testarossa, Ultima, and Carrera
Paused mid-sip,
Their eyes slightly widening
At the sight of Guy Crimson.
I, however,
Simply leaned back in my chair,
Smirked lazily,
And with a mockingly casual tone,
Said:
"Oh?
Old friend,
You missed getting your ass kicked
So quickly
That you've come back for more?"
The room
Erupted with laughter,
But Guy,
Undeterred by my taunt,
Simply smirked,
His eyes gleaming mischievously:
"Tch...
I figured I'd drop by
And give you another chance
To bruise your knuckles on my face."
He cracked his neck,
Adding with a smirk:
"Generous of me, huh?"
But as Guy's gaze
Casually drifted around the hall,
His smug expression
Suddenly twisted
Into one of genuine shock.
His eyes locked
Onto the three Primordial demonesses
Sitting comfortably
At the table.
His voice
Barked out in disbelief:
"What the hell?!
Blanc?!
Jaune?!
Violet?!"
He pointed accusingly:
"What are you three doing here?!"
The entire room
Turned to watch,
Curious about Guy's reaction,
While Testarossa, Ultima, and Carrera
Merely smirked,
Amused by his surprise.
I took a slow sip of wine,
Then leaned back in my chair,
My voice dripping with casual confidence:
"Oh, them?"
I made a vague gesture
Toward the three demonesses.
"Relax, Guy.
They're my subordinates now."
The room
Went dead silent
For a moment.
Guy's eye twitched slightly,
As if he hadn't heard correctly.
He let out a short, disbelieving chuckle,
Then looked at me:
"Wait, wait...
You're telling me
You somehow made those three
Your subordinates?!"
Testarossa,
Her crimson lips curling into a smile,
Slowly leaned forward,
Her voice a purr of satisfaction:
"Oh yes...
Master was quite...
persuasive."
Her gaze locked onto Guy,
Amused by his astonishment.
Ultima,
Playfully swirling her wine glass,
Grinned wickedly:
"He was very...
convincing, you could say."
She winked.
Carrera,
With her usual sadistic grin,
Rested her chin on her palm
And smirked mockingly:
"He doesn't play around, Guy.
Maybe if you're lucky,
You can be his subordinate too."
Guy's jaw clenched slightly,
And with a deep sigh,
He walked over to the table
And collapsed into a chair,
Clearly defeated by the absurdity
Of the situation.
He motioned toward Shuna,
Who immediately
Brought him a goblet of wine.
He took a long swig,
Then leaned back with a groan:
"You know...
The balance of the world
Is completely out of whack now, right?"
He gestured vaguely
At the three demonesses,
Then at me,
His voice half-exasperated, half-impressed:
"Yuuya...
Why the hell
Are you making my job
So damn difficult?"
I simply chuckled,
Taking another slow sip of my wine,
Before flashing a smug grin:
"Oh, c'mon, Guy...
You know we're not trying
To destroy the world."
I smirked wider,
My eyes glinting with mischief:
"But even if we were...
Who's gonna stop me?"
The entire table
Burst into laughter,
The sheer cockiness of my statement
Causing even Velzard
To shake her head
With an amused sigh.

Guy,
Scowling playfully,
Pointed his fork at me,
Eyes narrowing:
"You cocky bastard..."
But his lips curled
Into a reluctant smirk.
As the laughter died down,
Guy's expression
Turned more serious.
He leaned forward,
Placing his elbows on the table,
And lowered his voice slightly:
"Listen...
Jokes aside,
The Eastern Empire
Has been making moves.
Big ones."
Rimuru,
Sitting across from him,
Immediately straightened,
His expression turning grave:
"Are you sure?"
Guy nodded grimly:
"Yeah...
They've been amassing forces,
Rallying their elites.
I'm betting
They're planning something big."
I simply smirked,
Eyes narrowing slightly:
"Oh...
I know."
I took another sip,
My voice dripping with certainty:
"And when they do...
They'll regret it."
The table
Fell into a brief silence,
Everyone exchanging knowing glances,
Before Carrera,
Breaking the tension,
Clinked her glass loudly
And grinned wickedly:
"Oh-ho-ho...
I'm already looking forward
To the carnage."
The room
Erupted into laughter once more,
As the feast carried on,
The bonds of alliance and friendship
Growing ever stronger.
Carrera
Had challenged Benimaru
To a drinking contest,
Both of them already on their sixth bottle,
While Ultima
Teased Souei
By subtly stroking his hand
Whenever he wasn't looking.
Testarossa,
Elegant as ever,
Sat beside Velzard,
Engaged in a surprisingly civil conversation
About fashion trends
From both the Cardinal World
And the Underworld.
Meanwhile,
Chloe was curled up comfortably
On a couch near Rimuru,
Looking far too content and peaceful
After drinking two glasses
Of fruit wine.
Diablo,
Ever the loyal observer,
Was calmly swirling his wine glass,
Occasionally grinning
As he watched everyone enjoy themselves.
And then,
Almost casually,
Guy Crimson,
Now leaning back in his chair,
Turned to me
With a sly grin
And spoke:
"Hey, Yuuya...
Since you're in such a good mood,
How about doing me a favor?"
I arched a brow,
Intrigued by his nonchalant tone.
I could already sense
He was about to ask for something interesting.
I tilted my head slightly,
Smirking faintly:
"Oh?
A favor?
What is it, Guy?"
Guy leaned forward slightly,
His eyes lazily drifting
Toward his two maids:
Rain and Misery,
Who were standing quietly behind him,
As dutiful as ever.
With a careless shrug,
He gestured toward them:
"You see...
Ever since they became my maids,
They've been at the same level.
Don't get me wrong,
They're strong,
But they've...
stagnated."
He glanced at me with a knowing smirk:
"I was wondering
If you could...
you know,
Give them a little boost."
His eyes twinkled mischievously,
Though I could sense
That there was also a genuine seriousness
Behind the request.
Rain and Misery,
Hearing Guy's words,
Glanced at each other,
A bit of surprise flashing
Across their usually stoic expressions.
They were about to protest,
But I waved my hand slightly,
Stopping them.
With a calm smile,
I slowly stood up,
My wine glass
Still loosely grasped
In my hand.
I let out a soft chuckle,
Then turned to Guy
And gave him a mockingly casual look:
"You want me
To make your maids stronger?"
I smirked.
"That's all?"
Guy leaned back,
His crimson eyes glinting with amusement:
"Well,
If you're feeling generous,
You could throw in a little extra."
Without another word,
I calmly set my wine glass down on the table,
Turned toward Rain and Misery,
And with a simple nod,
I beckoned them forward.
The two demon maids
Stepped before me,
Their expressions respectful
But also slightly hesitant.
They bowed deeply,
Their voices soft but steady:
"Master Yuuya,
We are honored by your generosity."
I slowly stepped toward them,
My golden eyes narrowing,
The faintest of smirks
Tugging at my lips.
"Kneel."
I commanded softly.
They obeyed without hesitation,
Falling gracefully
To one knee.
I raised my hands
And gently placed them
On the crowns of their heads.
The moment my palms made contact,
the entire hall fell silent.
The air thickened,
And a suffocating pressure
Began to radiate from me,
Like a storm brewing in the abyss.
With a slow exhale,
I activated my Conqueror Sovereign,
The ambient mana
Darkened,
The entire room
Briefly dimming
As the shadows themselves
Seemed to twist and writhe.
A wave of ethereal darkness
Coiled around Rain and Misery,
Swirling in tendrils
Of pure, unrestrained power.
Their bodies
Were bathed in light,
But not a gentle one—
It was wild,
Chaotic,
And unyielding.
Rain's body shuddered violently,
Her eyes widening
As she felt
The long-dormant power
Within her awaken.
Misery,
Usually calm and composed,
Let out a startled gasp,
Her eyes glowing scarlet
As she was engulfed
By the swirling surge of mana.
The room
Was dead silent
As everyone watched
The transformation unfold
Before them.
The surge of energy
Intensified,
Flashes of dark purple and crimson light
Illuminating the entire hall.
The pressure
Became heavier,
Thicker,
Almost oppressive.
I could feel
Their dormant potential
Breaking free,
Their skills sharpening,
Their aura growing denser
And far more refined.
But I wasn't done.
With a wicked grin,
I decided to add a little extra,
Pouring in a fragment of my own essence,
Granting them
A permanent boost
Far beyond
Their original limits.
Their bodies shook violently,
Their eyes glowing
With blinding radiance,
Until, finally—
It was done.
The light dissipated,
And the two of them
Slowly stood.
The moment they did,
The entire room
Fell into an awe-stricken silence.
Rain's aura
Was now a deep violet hue,
Swirling like mystic storm clouds,
Her crimson eyes
Smoldering
With a newfound ferocity.
Misery's aura
Had turned a brilliant midnight silver,
Crackling with black lightning,
Her gaze cold and piercing,
Like death itself.
Both of them
Radiated raw, unyielding power,
Their postures taller,
Their energy sharper,
More refined and potent
Than ever before.
As they turned
And knelt before me once more,
They spoke
In reverent unison,
Their voices steady
But filled with undeniable gratitude:
"We thank you, Master Yuuya...
For this incredible gift."
I merely smirked
And offered them
A casual nod.
Turning toward Guy,
I arched a brow,
Smirking smugly:
"Satisfied?"
Guy,
Still sitting in his chair,
Stared at his two maids
With wide eyes,
Clearly stunned
By the drastic surge
In their strength.
After a brief moment
Of speechlessness,
He let out a low chuckle,
Then downed the rest of his wine
In one swift gulp.
Leaning back,
He smirked at me
With genuine admiration:
"You cocky bastard..."
He shook his head,
Letting out a small sigh,
Then added with a grin:
"You really don't hold back, huh?"
The entire room
Erupted into laughter,
The warmth of the feast
Carrying on
With even greater vigor.
