No matter how lively the outside world was, the world of ordinary people remained very simple and wasn't particularly affected.
For example, Itogami Island—one of its ports had been completely destroyed, and a mythological creature beyond comprehension had even appeared—this had been heavily reported in international news. But for ordinary people, aside from being amazed and chatting about it, there wasn't much else they could do.
So even after such a big incident, life went on. Students still went to school, adults still went to work, and Itogami Island's port was already under reconstruction. With the level of technology in this world, it should be restored quickly.
In that regard, Itogami Island still had a significant advantage. After all, it was an artificial island built from scratch, incorporating techniques from magic, sorcery, and various technologies developed from years of research into demons. Reconstructing a port—so long as the money was there—was just a matter of time and efficiency.
Under these circumstances, the daily life of the people on Itogami Island wasn't particularly affected—at least internally.
As for externally...
Over the past two days, survey ships from various countries had been loitering around the waters surrounding Itogami Island.
What exactly these ships were trying to investigate was obvious without asking.
Also, the entry application process for Itogami Island had suddenly become very strict—one could even say severe—in recent days, intercepting many people and flights that originally shouldn't have appeared.
With the cooperation of the national government, any visitors with ulterior motives could no longer easily step foot on Itogami Island. This was probably the only change on the island.
Kaiser originally thought that after acting so recklessly, the Lion King Agency might make some move. But unexpectedly, the other party didn't show any reaction at all, as if they didn't even know the person who clashed with Vatler that night was him.
"Are they deliberately ignoring it? Or…"
Kaiser thought for a while and then gave up.
"Whatever, as long as they don't really try to meddle in my affairs."
Although the Lion King Agency had taken him in for four years, Kaiser knew better than anyone the reasons they did so. He also knew just how many schemes and hidden agendas lurked behind this match-making organization. So he didn't feel grateful toward them—he was merely staying here temporarily to maintain a legitimate identity.
As for the Lion King Agency's little tricks, as long as they didn't bother him, Kaiser could ignore them for the sake of High God's Forest. But if anyone got too bold and tried to meddle in his affairs, tried to act against him—then they'd better not blame him for showing no mercy.
One must understand—those so-called mythological era magical beasts that made the whole world tremble weren't what Kaiser relied on.
Kaiser's true strength lay in his Authorities, and his greatest reliance were the exclusive weapons that were bound to him in body and soul.
In other words, the terrifying things he'd shown so far were just child's play.
Taking care of a Vatler didn't even require him to be serious.
If those with ill intent thought that was all he had—then Kaiser didn't mind giving them a surprise in the future.
Just like that, Kaiser's life hadn't changed much—still the same as before. Every day he went to and from school with that chatty and adorable girl, Nagisa Akatsuki. From time to time, he'd bring the middle school division's saintess back home to play with his cat, then trade verbal jabs with a certain siscon. And that was it.
Of course, it wasn't like there weren't any effects at all.
Recently, Natsuki Minamiya hadn't shown him a good face even once. Occasionally, she would deliberately come up with tough problems, using all kinds of excuses to make things difficult for him. It was clear she knew what he had done and was retaliating for his recklessness.
Then there was Motoki Yaze. This guy had more than once earnestly told Kaiser things like "Itogami Island is too fragile," "It's too dangerous here," "I hope those bigshots could restrain themselves a little"—clearly harboring a bit of resentment.
And lastly, someone unseen in the shadows was actively targeting Kaiser.
For example, right now—
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
Along with several savage roars, a few mechanical beasts suddenly burst out from a corner and lunged at Kaiser.
"Puchi!" "Puchi!" "Puchi!"...
Walking through a corner of the courtyard at Saikai Academy, Kaiser didn't even pause his steps. Suddenly, silvery flashes of light burst forth around him, meeting those steel beasts head-on, ignoring their metallic bodies as they pierced, tore, and shredded them.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"...
In the next instant, silver arrows came flying, fast and urgent, aiming for Kaiser's shoulders, abdomen, thighs—and even his manhood.
Kaiser's face darkened. His figure disappeared with a "whoosh," dodging the incoming arrows while using Shunpo to dash toward the rooftop of a nearby building, landing there.
"...!"
The sinister-looking girl who had been drawing her bow on the rooftop turned pale when she saw this. Without even thinking, she turned around and fled.
"Trying to run?"
But Kaiser had already appeared behind her without her realizing, grabbing her by the back of her collar.
"Let go of me! You filthy man! Don't touch me with your dirty hands!"
Sayaka Kirasaka struggled desperately, secretly casting countless curses in the process.
To dare touch the body of a War Dancer—there was no way one wouldn't be cursed.
Unfortunately, these powerful curses were instantly repelled by Kaiser's body the moment they landed.
"Haven't I told you many times already? That kind of thing doesn't work on me." Kaiser sneered coldly. "You really never learn your lesson, you perverted freak."
"Damn it!" Sayaka Kirasaka glared at Kaiser, looking utterly unyielding as she shouted, "Just wait till I get the chance! If I get the chance...!"
"What if you do? What would you do?" Kaiser said expressionlessly. "With your ability, you can't do anything to me. Why not focus on correcting your overly twisted heart?"
"You're the one with a twisted heart, you scummy man!" Sayaka Kirasaka cursed furiously. "Just you wait, I won't lose!"
"Not bad. I actually admire people like you—those who never admit defeat and still talk tough." Kaiser looked at the struggling Sayaka in his hand and smiled faintly. "But before that, let me think about how I'll punish you this time..."
Hearing this, Sayaka Kirasaka's delicate body trembled.
She couldn't help but recall the series of tragic experiences she had endured over the past few days.
Attacked Kaiser… got easily caught… tied up and had rats thrown at her feet...
Attacked Kaiser again… got caught again… tied up and had her soles tickled with a feather duster for two hours...
Attacked Kaiser a third time… got caught once more… this time not tied up, but was fed traditional snacks from the ancient Eastern lands.
Such as… roasted cockroaches, roasted worms, roasted dragonflies, roasted spiders, etc.
Just thinking about that experience made Sayaka's stomach cramp, and her face went pale.
"Lustrous Scale!"
There was no time to mourn her past suffering—Sayaka instantly activated her Divine Spirit Weapon, changing her Western-style bow-shaped Hex-Armament Demon-Slaying Bow into a sword form.
"No way."
Kaiser seemed to have anticipated Sayaka's resistance all along. With a quick motion, he seized the silver greatsword with lightning speed.
"Give it back!"
Sayaka cried out in shock.
"Don't worry. I'll return it."
Kaiser's mouth curved into a smile that sent shivers down Sayaka's spine. Then he uttered words that were like a nightmare.
"I've decided. This time, I'll take you to a host club and let the kind of disgusting men you hate serve you."
"I know you don't like skinny guys, so I'll call in eight or ten muscular men to entertain you."
"I'll cover all the expenses. Don't thank me—it's my duty."
These words turned Sayaka's face from pale to green, from green to purple, and finally into a kaleidoscopic black.
Just imagining being surrounded by eight or ten sweaty, shirtless, foul-smelling musclemen with lecherous smiles...
"Gah~~~"
As her imagination spiraled out of control, Sayaka's eyes rolled back—and she actually fainted.
"...You're just weak and love picking fights."
Looking at the unconscious Sayaka in his hand, even Kaiser was speechless.
She kept falling into his hands, kept getting punished—and still hadn't learned her lesson. Why did she keep provoking him?
Wasn't she just asking for it?
Thinking this, Kaiser's hands didn't slow. He accepted a rope brought down by a bird from the sky and skillfully tied Sayaka up again.
Before he could even come up with a punishment plan, a cold voice rang out behind him.
"Playing bondage games in broad daylight with some unknown little girl… you sure are in the mood, transfer student."
Hearing this, Kaiser paused his movements, turned around, and looked behind him.
There, a girl stood silently. Dressed in a frilly Western-style outfit that looked hot just from sight, holding a parasol in one hand and a lace fan in the other, she looked at Kaiser as if he were some degenerate who had strayed from the righteous path.
"How rare, Natsuki-chan," Kaiser raised an eyebrow and said, "Didn't expect you to interfere this time."
Previously, when Sayaka attacked him at school, Natsuki Minamiya hadn't even shown up.
So her appearance now was indeed surprising.
"Don't call a teacher '-chan'!" Natsuki Minamiya's expression darkened as she snorted coldly. "Don't think I turned a blind eye before because I was indulging you. This is a school—if you and your competition want to get all lovey-dovey, take it elsewhere."
"Like where?" Kaiser asked without hesitation. "The port?"
A tic mark popped out on Natsuki's forehead.
This bastard really knew how to bring up the most inappropriate things.
