Demon God

'Wow...so, this is a Dungeon! Interesting!!' Desire thought as a smile finally crept up to his face.

Even though Desire was surrounded by humans right now, he didn't put any attention on that point at all.

What was important right now, for Desire, was the city. His attention was all over that.

He was interested in how the city worked, and how the merchants were doing trades.

Of course, it didn't really matter to him, but...it was as if a puzzle was being solved right in front of him as the merchants and their customers talked with each other and made a deal about an item.

That was why it was interesting for Desire to see this play out right in front of him.

It was then that a voice resounded out in Desire's ears as something appeared in the corner of his field of vision.

"Move! Move! Move!" The voice said, but that was not all as Desire soon heard the sound of horses neighing and running.

"Desire, let's move out of the way," Jarina's voice entered Desire's ears as he felt his robe being tugged.

Of course, when Desire what Jarina said, he just instinctively backed away fast and looked at the street where he was standing before.

And there he saw two horses pulling something like a cart with so many items that even Desire with his ridiculous senses couldn't count it all.

"Don't stand in the middle of the road on such a busy day!" The man who was sitting on the cart shouted out loud, but he didn't even look at Desire and the others as the horses pulled the cart fast and disappeared from this street.

"Woah, what was that..." Desire murmured as he looked at the far distance where the cart faded into.

However, it seems that Amelia was able to catch what he said as Amelia spoke.

"Those are the items being delivered to the auction, and it seems that they are behind in schedule, which is why the driver is hurrying like that," Amelia said.

"Auction?" Desire asked as he turned his head towards Amelia's direction.

Of course, when Amelia heard his question, she quickly answered, "An auction is a place where the wealthy merchants gather and try to purchase items that are far better than what is currently being sold in this place right now."

"Hmm...so this place is for the poor and the auction is for the rich, huh. That's amazingly simple," Desire said as he turned his head back in front.

"Anyways, where can we get a room, Amelia? I want to gather information about this city and the Tower first before going into the Dungeon," Desire said as he began to walk.

Of course, when he did, the two women just...started to follow right after him.

It was weird to see that they would only move once Desire moves, but well. Amelia was here to guide the two, and Jarina was only here for Desire.

Anyways, when Amelia heard what Desire said, she quickly began to think about any possible places where they could stay.

Of course, as Amelia was the one who takes care of these things, it was easy for her to think up of a place.

"The young master and the young miss would be able to stay in the Lord's mansion at any moment and at any given time," Amelia said but she was not done as she continued.

"If I may ask, shall I lead you both to the Lord's mansion now or is the young master planning to sightsee for now?"

"No, lead us right away to that Lord's mansion or whatever. Although this place is interesting, I'm already satisfied with what I saw," Desire said as he...stopped walking and looked back on Jarina, "What are you doing? Isn't this supposed to be a date? Grab my hand," He said as he reached out for Jarina's hand with his left hand.

"Fufufu, I was just letting you have fun, but it seems like you remembered me now, hmm?" Jarina said as she grabbed Desire's left hand with her right hand and...stood beside him.

Both of them started to walk side by side as Desire spoke, "What are you talking about? I never forgot about you," He said, but Desire was not done as he looked back at Amelia, "Ah, lead us there - to that Lord's mansion now."

"As you wish," Amelia said as she...began to walk a little bit faster to get in front of the two.

And when she was in front of them, Desire and Jarina just followed right after Amelia.

And the street where the three of them were previously standing on were some merchants talking with each other as they looked in the direction where the trio disappeared into.

"Kekeke! That woman with purple hair is pretty!" One of the merchants said as he caressed his long-ass beard.

"Hey, hey! You can't just dismiss the black-haired girl! Although her face was hidden, her body was just dynamic!" One of the merchants said as he imagined how Amelia looked like.

"Tsk, tsk. That guy got to be living his best life, being sandwiched with girls like that." The final merchant said.

And as soon as he said that, the one with the long-ass beard spoke with a grin on his face, "Not for long, though! We got to report this to Sir Baho!"

"Ohh, Sir Baho! He would definitely appreciate our action of telling that two pretty women are walking around with a useless man by their side."

"Kekekeke! We should go now! Sir Baho would definitely return the favor!"

And with that...the merchants' conversation came to an end as all three of them went on to go and tell this Sir Baho about the existence of Amelia and Jarina.

****

"This is the Lord's mansion, young master," Amelia's voice resounded out in this place as she moved out of the way for Desire to see.

The mansion that was standing tall in the middle of the street was just...huge.

There were also the gates around the mansion, and the garden as well, which just added more beauty to this articulately built mansion.

However, it seems that Desire was not amazed as he just had this flat expression on his face as he spoke.

"...there's basically nothing in this place, is there?" Desire said as he turned his head left and right.

And what he saw was...nothing. There was nothing in this place, and that was because this was the Lord's mansion.

It was only natural that the Lord's mansion wouldn't have any neighbors or something like that.

However, Desire didn't like this as he came into the Lord's mansion to gather information, not to hide or something like that.

"Whew. Well, I guess this is fine. Let's go inside, then." Desire said to Amelia.

"Right away," Amelia said as she turned around and began walking towards the mansion.

And while they were walking, Desire and Jarina shared a conversation together.

Well, it was pretty much a long walk towards the inside of the mansion, but they were soon able to get there as they were no inside the mansion.

And as soon as they got there, Desire suddenly remembered something as he spoke, "Oh yeah, Amelia, this place is the Lord's mansion, right? If this is the Lord's mansion, how come there are no any guards or whatever to defend it?"

"That's because there is no official lord, yet. As this Dungeon has just been conquered, there is no need for any official lord," Amelia said, but she was not done as she continued.

"There are many rooms in this place as this is the Lord's mansion, so please just pick any of them-" Amelia said all those words but...she was cut off by Desire as he raised his hand.

"We don't need any actual rooms. I just want you to gather general information about this whole city; the auction, the merchants, the items, and the Dungeon itself."

"Since that would take a lot of time, I had you bring us here," Desire said.

"General information, hmm?" Amelia murmured as she bowed her head.

She then spoke with a clear voice this time, "I shall see to it, young master."

Amelia then disappeared as she went on to go and fulfill the young master's orders.

And as soon as she disappeared, Jarina spoke right away, "What are you planning, Desire? You usually don't act like this..."

Indeed. What Jarina said was the truth. This was actually the first time that Desire did something like gathering information or anything that goes with that kind of work.

And that was why Jarina was a little bit...shocked by it.

"Hmm? Did you forget what master said? He said that I should learn about Dungeons in this place, and that is what I intend to do."

"I got a lot of time; a whole week. Although master also said that I should try and get real-life combat experience, I can do that at the end of the week."

"Anyways, what I intend to say is...master wants me to learn about how the city works more than the Dungeon itself."
