Mythical Slayer: Mythical Girls Contract



Many people from different Races entered the party venue with their partners or families.

Meryl, their guide, had left to welcome other people. So they entered the party venue first, together.

As Kai stepped into the party venue of the Devils, he was momentarily taken aback by the grandeur of the space. He had never seen anything like it before - elegant columns lined the front entrance and tall, stained glass windows. Many eyes were on them, those of curiosity.

The walls were adorned with lavish tapestries, depicting scenes of infernal creatures and battles between good and evil. One side with white wings and one with bat wings like the Devils had. A large crystal chandelier hung from the ceiling, casting a warm orange glow over the room.

Tables covered in white sheets spread all across the venue with various foods and drinks on top.

The noise level was intense, with guests bustling around and mingling in small groups. Kai noticed people from Vampire Race, Werewolf Race, and Youkai. People with long, sharp ears also wore nature-colored dresses.

'Are they Elves?'

That was totally unexpected.

Kai couldn't help but feel slightly intimidated by the sheer magnitude of the event, but he was excited to be there nonetheless. It was similar to when he entered the Throne Room in the Dragon King Castle with Ao before, just with more various races.

As he navigated his way through the sea of faces, he noticed the distinct differences between the races present.

The vampires wore dark, regal clothing, while the werewolves were dressed in more rugged and practical attire. The Youkai were adorned with exotic fabrics and intricate jewelry. And the Elves, as he guessed from their appearance, wore modest dresses with nature feelings.

"Grandiose, isn't it?" Ao spoke from his side. The Dragon King was sweeping her hair back and basking in the others' attention. "Should the Dragon King Castle create this kind of event too, dear husband?"

"That's not a bad idea. But I think you should solve the problem about the dragon's way of having a party first." Kai replied as he looked at the Dragon King.

"Indeed. What you said was true." She replied and looked around. Many curious eyes were still looking at them, trying to determine who they were.

The guests could somehow guess who the people with horns around Kai were. The dragon and Oni horns were really easy to distinguish. And as for Amber, her fiery hair and golden eyes added to phoenix's embodiment in her dress, giving out her identity.

Then Kai… felt a little bit uncomfortable.

"I felt like they were judging me." He muttered to himself, but the girls around him could hear him. "Is it because I am the only human in this place?"

Right. There was no human in the Devils' Ball Party. The reason was something unclear, and only the Devils knew. Whether humans were late or they weren't invited in the first place. It could also be that they were invited, but they refused to come because of complicated political reasons.

Maybe because of that, many eyes from various races were looking at him. But he was wrong.

"They are trying to know the Ruler, Kai." Amber was the one who spoke in a low voice, looking at them. "Did you not notice? The Youkai guests, some people with fox ears and that lady with white hair were trying to judge whether they could approach us. They wanted to make a connection with you."

They weren't wary of Kai but of each other. If they were in their own place and not in the Underworld, they would immediately greet Kai and offer him the highest seat in the event.

Kai looked around once more, and that was indeed the case. Their gazes indeed landed on him, but they were only out of curiosity. The feelings of watching each other were there.

And the people that Amber mentioned earlier were Youkais. They stood at the corner of the room, a bit away from other people. For some reason, the glass that the lady with white hair held had a frozen bit. When she noticed his gaze, she smiled gently and waved his hand.

He nodded at the woman and turned to Ibaraki Douji, whose face was lit happily due to excitement.

"Is she a Yuki-Onna?"

"Huh?" She let out a surprised voice as she looked at Kai and then at the lady he pointed. "Yes, Master. They usually stayed at the peak of Mount Fuji. It's rare for them to be seen at a place like this."

"Hoo, that's interesting." He muttered and then looked toward the nearby table that was filled with food. "How about we eat something while waiting? You girls haven't had breakfast yet, no?"

"Great idea." Ao nodded firmly.

"Some of the dishes look unique," Amber added, looking at some purple dishes.

Ibaraki Douji looked at the dishes with interest. While she looked rather shy and reserved, she was actually quite a glutton. The restaurant's leftover food, which previously hadn't any place except for trash, now ended up in the Oni girl's stomach. It made Kai happy, honestly.

The bustling atmosphere returned almost immediately. The previous curious whisper soon turned into chatters. There were still guests who hadn't arrived yet, and that was why the party hadn't officially started.

Some of the most important guests, such as Gods from each Pantheon, hadn't shown themselves yet. He was much more curious about them. How did they look in real life? That was something curious that Kai wanted to see by himself.

The whimsical Gods would be late; that was the norm. But there was a God who wouldn't be late for such an interesting event. This God was worshiped by a certain tribe of Youkai.

Ibaraki also noticed her arrival and turned her head toward the entrance, putting down the food she had taken from the table near them.

"Master." She called out to Kai, and he turned around with a smile.

"Yeah. I can feel her. So she was also invited?" He muttered, munching the strange dish that he didn't know. It tasted sweet despite its strange color.

"Of course, dear husband. If they didn't invite her, this lady is afraid she would just crash into this party. Such is her personality." Ao added with a troubled tone. But her lips were curled up into a small, nostalgic smile. "Just like before." She continued.

Kai looked at her while humming. "Hmm." Then he turned around to see the door open from the other side.

Two familiar individuals emerged. It was their previous guide, Meryl, and with her was a short girl wearing a black Kimono with golden frills.

The way she wore her Kimono was loose, exposing her bare shoulders. Her long lustrous black hair touched the floor, getting dragged. And her red horns reflected the golden light.

"Oh?" The short girl let out a happy voice as she noticed Kai and the others. Her lips curled up into a big grin. "It's enough until here, Devil girl. Take the other guests. I've already found a company."

"Certainly, lady Shuten Douji. Please excuse me."

The daughter of Duke Dantalion curtsied and left.

Shuten Douji nodded in satisfaction as she strode over Kai and his group in a happy manner. The previous guests who were looking out at each other didn't even look at the sight of the short Oni girl. They were afraid of offending her.

History had already told them enough not to mess with the Oni God. Her level and personality differed from normal Mythical creatures or Gods.

Stopping in front of the group, Shuten Douji put her hands on her hips. "It's been a while, young man! It looks like you're also fine, Ao. Also…"

The Oni God narrowed her eyes playfully as she looked at her old friend, the Dragon King. They had known each other for millennia. That was why Shuten Douji was a bit surprised when she felt something unusual.

"I see you've decided to settle with the young man, right?"

"Indeed, that's the case." Ao nodded with certainty.

The crowd that listened to their conversation was surprised and baffled at the same time. Initially, they thought that the Dragon King was only joking when she called the young man her husband. But they couldn't say anything anymore as the Oni God and the Dragon King themselves had confirmed it.

"Hmm, is that so?" A cheeky smile appeared on the Oni God's face. She then turned to her former subordinate, Ibaraki Douji. "How about you, Ibaraki? Are you happy serving the young man? I will beat him if he makes you sad, though."

"Hey, don't say something scary." Kai immediately retorted. The fact that she could say it without being an eyelid was scary. Even more so when he knew that the Oni God could actually beat him if she was serious.

"Don't worry, boss. Master has taken care of me. And I am quite happy by staying with him." Ibaraki replied while her face flushed red a little, embarrassed.

"Is that so?" Shuten Douji replied. She knew what her subordinates meant. And she also knew that Ibaraki wouldn't lie to her. "That's good. I am also happy for you, Ibaraki!" She nodded in satisfaction, flashing a big toothy grin.

"Yes, boss. Thank you for allowing me to serve Kai as my Master."

"Nah, it's not a problem."
