Chapter 179 The Man Who Returned
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
It was only my second day in Japan. Somehow, right after yesterday, I ended up moving in the blink of an eye.
This pace is way too fast…! What!? Since when could you move into a place so quickly after signing the contract!?
I didn’t have much bags to begin with, and Miyakuji-san’s servants moved everything for me. Holding the card key I’d been given, I headed straight to my new home.
”Whoa… it’s, it’s amazing…” I said.
”Gorgeous! Right!” Ami-chan replied.
The 22nd floor of an apartment building… the view is great. More than that, the room itself is huge. The electricity is already running, too.
I heard Reika also has a card key so she can watch the room while I’m away.
She is also supposed to buy necessary furniture and clothes. The cost will be taken from my next delivery of virility agents.
”Do you think it would be okay to bring Vectra-san here…?” I asked.
”I guess so~! Even if we try not to go outside much, it would be safer to have Vectra along, wouldn’t it~ noja!” Ami-chan replied.
Actually, I’d like to bring everyone… but with Ami-chan’s current seal level, teleportation¹ for many people uses a lot of Ego Point².
Thinking about security, I think moving was the right choice. However, the rent is a huge amount, so I’ll have to come deliver virility agents often.
Maybe the old man… had planned even that far?
And so, on the second day, I did some online shopping and took a bath in the evening. The bathroom was very clean and wide; I filled the tub with hot water and relaxed.
* * *
Then came the third day. I spent the morning opening the boxes that had arrived.
”You sure bought a lot~” Ami-chan said.
”Well, I have some extra money now…” I replied.
Since I bought everything with cash-on-delivery, the delivery man looked like he was having a hard time calculating the cash.
What I bought this time was a large amount of food. Canned goods that I couldn’t put into the Treasure Trove³ before, alcohol, lots of seasonings, rice, and even pasta.
Also, I bought many ready-to-eat pouch meals. This should bring more color to our dinner table.
Lately, even in the capital of the Republic, we’ve been able to buy fish and good meat. Everything is going well, except for the power gap between us and the people chasing us.
Of course, I also bought ‘night activity’ items—various sexy lingerie, cosplay outfits, and such. I bought expensive ones without worrying about the cost.
I also bought many high-end daily underwear and casual clothes for everyone.
The design and use of clothes over there and in Japan are very different, after all. I’m sure Cleonora and the others will like them.
I’ve also bought a large amount of condoms. I don’t know if I’ll actually use them, but considering what happened with Aris, it’s good to be ready….
”For me, I’d like to bring a car back!” Ami-chan said.
”Ami-chan, you were interested in cars before, weren’t you? But I can’t exactly carry one in one hand.” I replied.
With this, I think my plans for going back to the other world are done.
”…Now that I think about it, we met those Magical Girl knights, but… I wonder if there are others like them?” I asked.
”Hard to say~. But those girls are a very rare case.” Ami-chan replied.
”Is that so?” I asked.
”Yeah. You know that cat? The one called Dum Dum Key. That guy was a very strong person originally.” Ami-chan said.
Now that she says it, she mentioned it before—that even among the combat pursuers, he was in the top three or so.
”But here, the stronger you are, the less time you can use your full power. So he split his power into three and put it in locals… but to use that power, it ended up taking away those girls’ very presence-strength.”
While transformed, they can’t be seen by anyone but us. It even meant their own families couldn’t notice them….
”Basically, it’s the result of using many cheats at once. It’s a trick a normal pursuer couldn’t do, and we don’t know what kind of side effects those girls might have~” Ami-chan explained.
”Wait… there are side effects?” I asked.
”Who knows?” Ami-chan replied.
So even Ami-chan doesn’t know about that.
They were rude kids, though… one day I’ll take them to the other world and get back at them.
”Anyway~. The Dominion⁴ in the other world isn’t known yet. We just have to use this advantage and keep making the territory stronger!” Ami-chan said.
”…You’re right. Well then, shall we go back?” I said.
”Okay! To the other world… here we go-ya!” Ami-chan cried.
”Goya…?” I muttered.
* * *
Just as my vision blurred, I was back in the familiar room of the Great Phantasmal Soulstone⁵.
Before going to the surface, I opened the Great Phantasmal Soulstone window to check my status.
■ Class Name: Dominator⁶〈Quester〉 Level 10
■ Ego Skills: 〈Rear-Climax〉, 〈Affection Surge – Rear〉, 〈Oral Apphrodisiac – Light〉
■ Slave of Love⁷ Skills: 〈Malediction of Submission〉, 〈Holy Zero Shield〉, Seikou, 〈Blessed Return of Abilities〉, 〈Ice Blade Lord〉
■ Dominator Skills: Water Splendor Flash, 〈Color Change〉, 〈Treasure Trove 3〉, 〈Land of Blessing〉, 〈Domain Alert〉, 〈Area Movement 1〉, Manifestation Fixation, 〈Domain Clairvoyance〉, 〈Area Talk〉
”A new Slave of Love skill increased…” I said.
”This is… hmm, I see! Simply put, it’s a skill that calls a very strong helper!” Ami-chan explained.
”A very strong helper…?” I asked.
The new Slave of Love skill, 〈Ice Blade Lord〉, lets me call an ice statue with high power once a day.
It feels like the power of the Ice Blade General class—a melee class of Celestite—was put into the Dominator〈Quester〉 class.
The ice statue disappears if it takes big damage or after 12 hours. Since there’s no fight today, I’ll try calling it.
”Whoa…” I muttered.
A warrior in armor made of ice appeared before me.
It looks very Japanese. Even the swords at its waist are made of ice….
”I wonder if it will melt?” I asked.
”Maybe it’s fixed with Magic Power logic~? But it might be weak against fire enemies!” Ami-chan replied.
I’ll have to test it later. You never know how to use a skill until you try it.
Next, I checked the basement. The lady knights were working hard today too.
The three managers were using their whips; things seem to be going well there.
Actually, my Resource Point⁸ has gone up a lot again. This isn’t just the farm; the lady knights’ waste conversion is a big part.
I wonder if the diuretics are still in their food. I didn’t say to stop, so the ‘livestock’ might be fighting a strong urge to pee every day after eating.
And the amount they put in the toilet becomes Resource Point for me. What a great recycling system….
Cleonora and the others were at the farm and the walls. It’s almost noon, so everyone will gather in the dining hall. I’ll say hello then.
(Now that I think about it, I only quickly checked the Level 10 items…)
I should look through them carefully. With so many items, I tend to miss details.
It’s mostly because I already make what I need….
But looking again, I saw more metal building materials. If I have more Resource Point, I might change the stone walls to metal.
There were even fantasy clothes like an evil priest or a sexy sorceress would wear. What is this… well, it’s fine.
Since the three managers wear military clothes, I could make the whole Dominion look like a Demon Lord’s castle if I tried.
”Hm?” I muttered.
Finally, I checked the drugs. Before it was just virility agents and diuretics, but at the bottom, there was a new one.
”This is… an 〈Aphrodisiac〉…?” I asked.
”Just like the name says, it makes them go into heat! You don’t need it, Shou. With the skill I gave you, a kiss makes them go into heat.” Ami-chan explained.
True. But the cool part is this works on men too. My skill is only for women!
However, if a man goes into heat without stamina, the effect will end fast. Lust and energy are different.
”I don’t think I’ll use it, but… I’ll keep some just in case.” I said.
I also made more virility agents.
By the time I was done, it was past noon, so I went to the dining hall and told everyone I was back.

Summary:
Shou settles into his new luxury apartment in Japan and prepares for his return to the fantasy world by buying modern supplies. He learns from Ami-chan about the dark side of the Magical Girl knights’ powers, which erases their presence from the world. Upon returning to his labyrinth, he discovers a new skill to summon the ‘Ice Blade Lord’ and reviews his territory’s efficient resource system. He concludes the day by planning to upgrade his castle’s aesthetic and checking new drug recipes.

Character Insight:
Shou’s focus on efficient resource management, including the controversial conversion of waste, shows his transition into a pragmatic ‘Demon Lord’ figure. Ami-chan remains a source of both power and unsettling information, revealing the heavy price others pay for the magic in this world. The introduction of the Ice Blade Lord samurai suggests Shou is leaning into a Japanese-influenced aesthetic for his personal guardians.
