Leveling Up with My Adorable Monster Girl Harem!

Chapter 136: The evil dragon snaps

Else was nine years old adorable little girl.

She wore casual clothes: leather shoes, short pants, and a checkered shirt. She had long golden hair(high ponytail) and beautiful sparkling eyes of the same color. Those eyes were so big and curious about the world that Else had already asked Leon and his friends many questions. Her long ears protruded from her long golden streaks, revealing her race — high elf.

High elves are known for their intelligence and high adaptation to magic. That feature would be a threat to humanity's adaptation if it weren't for the high elves' flaw.

"We can use a lot of types of magic but only through items! Mom says that it's because of our origins. Our ancestors are forest elves, and they are close to nature. It's natural for them to use only nature's magic and through the forest! They can't even imagine using magic the other way! But many elves wanted to try something else and started branching out, creating new elven races." Else explained, adding that the adaptation feature and its flaw had caught the interest of humans, which bonded these two races.

"I didn't know that. You're really smart, Else." Leon held Else's little hand while carrying Celes on his back.

His vampiress struck close to him like a koala, tightly embracing him. Even though she had no strength, Celes had somehow found a few drops of energy to hold her master. Louise used Alexandra's back to return back to their carriage, finding it unpleasant…

Leon's back was much better!

"Do you know the man known as August?" Leon asked his new friend.

He was curious about that man since the demon had said he resembled him. In this world, it was particularly hard to find men with proper harems as those with strength gathered women around them like trophies. And like trophies they were, the men only 'cleaned' them a few times a year, focusing more on favorites.

Of course, Leon didn't share those thoughts with Else and simply asked about the man.

"August? I know August! He gave me my favorite book that I passed you, Leon!" Else pondered more about the only man named August she knew.

In her eyes, he was simply a kind old man that often spoiled her with books and toys. She didn't like how often he gifted her with children books, shaking his head at her reading about wars. But ever since he gave her The Death's Conquest, Else's impression of him became much better.

She still didn't like those children books, though.

"He's very old but has a loyal wife following him around!" Else added. She wasn't fond of that loyal wife because she never exchanged words with her as though thinking Else was a bad child! "I'm not a bad child. I'm just better than others! I guess that's why no one my age wants to play with me… But it's fine. I like books!"

Leon felt he could form a close connection with this girl because he had also been excluded from others on Earth as a child. He understood that girl a little, but their circumstances were heavily different.

After all, Heaven Library Guild ensured that Else could flourish, not wasting her talent.

"You'll find a few valuable friends who will understand you." Leon smiled at Else.

His words muted her, and she looked at him with golden eyes.

Soon, she nodded and returned to her usual mood. "Have you read [The War Rules], Leon?"

"No."

"Do you want to read it with me? I like that book, too!" Else didn't want to read her favorite book with Leon because she knew she would comment a lot.

Thus, she took out another one and presented it to her new friend.

Leon chuckled and nodded. "Tomorrow, alright? It's darkening, and we've just left a battle… There are a few bruises we must take care of and rest. I also must talk with my… friends… so I'll have you play with kitties. We have a family of cats in our circle, you know?"

"Okay! I have a few cats at home. I like cats because they aren't loud! What do you like about cats?" Else kept asking questions, but for some reason, Leon didn't feel troubled or bothered.

He kept replying with a wide smile. "You don't have to go outside that much with cats."

Else's eyes twinkled as she heard those words! "I have a cat called Miaomiao, and she likes to rest on my lap and read books with me."

"So nice!" Leon exclaimed and showcased a clear jealousy.

Else crossed her arms and nodded a few times, smirking. Her cat was pretty cool, right?

The party returned to their carriage.
No one tried anything funny, so cats and horses safely returned as well.

Leon and Alexandra introduced the kitty family to Else.

She took them to the carriage and read books with them. Unfortunately, the cats went to sleep, and no one read with Else — she didn't mind and continued reading while the lamp lighted her pages.

It was her first time outside her home and with foreign people. However, those people saved her, and Leon was also nice to talk with.

Else felt secure and happy here, but she missed her home.

Thus, a few minutes later, tears soon streaked down her cheeks, and she curled up in her sleeping bag, going to sleep with dry streaks on her face.


[I'll gouge out your eyes if you keep crying!]

Else had a nightmare that night.

Outside, Leon and his party had a simple gathering.

It was required for many reasons.

[Leon Blade(Ender) Lv. 90 HP: 500 000/500 000 MP: 475 000/475 000]

[Celes Diamante(BB) Lv. 106 HP: 150 000/150 00 MP: 200 000/200 000]

[Louise(Amaterasu) Lv. 108 HP: 220 000/ 220 000 MP: 300 000/300 000]

[Alexandra Aquarisen Lv. 102 HP: 185 000/185 000 MP: 180 800/180 000]

"We have leveled up… But I feel like I've taken most of the experience points." Leon knew his leveling up was the hardest because of his divinity, so he believed he took the most experience points for himself.

He leveled up to ninety and was pretty close to his beloveds.

"I have never killed someone with a level gap this big, so I don't know… Anyway, I have broken through level one hundred, so I unlocked one new skill. I'm content with that." Celes commented, checking the skill that became available in her skill list.

Leon warmly smiled, recalling her words about the spirit realm. "Will you make a contract with the spirit monster?"

"I don't think there's a need for that." Celes shook her head. "I'm on a different path."

Leon and Celes exchanged smiles.

Louise parted her lips and chimed in. "Thanks for carrying me on your back, Alexandra. I didn't know that extracting mana and stamina leaves so much toil that even leveling up doesn't eliminate that side effect."

"It's my duty…" Alexandra weakly parted her lips.

Louise saw through her voice and sighed. "I don't know if I killed The Dragon."

"It's just a shock. In our world, The Nine-Tailed Star is a selfish existence that berated our race and looked down on us, forcing The Dragon to challenge her. We know that The Dragon knew and treasured her secret, but she didn't seem to reciprocate those emotions… Dragons don't like excuses, but The Dragon's fall is a fact, so some even say that The Dragon went easy on The Nine-Tailed Star, and she tricked him into getting an advantage." Alexandra shared more light on her race's situation.

Leon butted in. "I heard fox girls like to temp other men, so I can see some buying that excuse."

Louise rolled her eyes at her master, then sighed again. "But that demon evoked something within me… I'm troubled when I hear my nickname… I chose [Amaterasu] as my nickname when I didn't have any memories back. I didn't have any trouble with that until now. But now, as I think of that nickname, my heart aches. It's kinda painful… I don't want to make an excuse, but I hit that demon's face instead of his chest because of that feeling."

"You sure about that?" Celes peculiarly glanced at the foxy and chuckled, stuffing her lips with her liquor.

"I'm sure about that! I wouldn't miss something as obvious as that guy's weakness!" Louise stood up and held herself back from using curses. She then dropped onto the log and splashed her ass heavily on it, then leaned forward to her master's side. "She's bullying me!"

Leon chortled while Celes nearly choked on her booze.

"I feel like I'm in a blind alley here." Leon hopelessly raised his hands.

Louise pouted and looked away.

Her master patted her hair and scratched behind her fox ears, which Louise loved.

That quickly made her melt into his embrace.

"Alexandra, let the past be the past. It's another perspective that you must face. I feel like you two will find out more about The Dragon and The Nine-Tailed Star." Leon reached to his dragon maid, encouraging her.

She nodded and thanked him for his kindness.

Leon continued. "We've leveled up. I feel like everyone must have received some skills back. We'll practice them in Heaven Library Guild and only stop our path there to get some cheap stuff. I don't want anything else to stop us again. And-"

At that time, Leon suddenly heard Else's cry. He jumped to his feet and ran to the carriage. After seeing her having a nightmare, Leon sighed and entered inside. He stroked her hair and helped her calm down.

After that, Leon left his carriage and took his seat. "We have a new companion, so I hope everyone will take care of her. She might be a spoiled kid and flaunt her skills, but there's a reason why demons wanted her. For now, she has all the right to be like that, and we aren't suitable people to teach her. I just hope you will all cope with her and give her a good lead."

"I'll become good friends with her, Master!" Louise was enthusiastic, unaware that she had lied to her master.

Leon chuckled, believing in his adorable fox. "I have checked the guild chat and found nothing about the incident with the golden-haired girl. No one even mentioned her name, so it must be high-level stuff hidden from common people's eyes. Let's make sure at least one person looks after her."

"Yes!" Louise once again reacted with energy.

Celes nodded.

Alexandra stood up and bowed with a faint smile, liking how the evil dragon within her fumed because of it.

"I'll check my divine sword and can take over the watch." Leon stood up and stretched. "I feel like I couldn't properly test my scarves because of the level gap… The bears were too easy, and the demon was too strong that I needed to use the divine sword."

"Did you know about that feature, Master?" Celes lazily asked as she did her best to get rid of the alcohol smell and taste from her mouth.

She'd look after Else soon. She ought to do at least this much, but Celes wasn't particularly interested in babysitting someone that young.

Leon shook his head. "It came to me in the heat of the moment. If you look at me from a different perspective, you'll notice that I have too few divine skills and that most of my skills come from the previous class. It's normal for me to get them through experiences, be it cuddling with my lovely partners or leveling up with them."

Louise and Celes' cheeks lit up in a scarlet blush as Leon said 'partners' with a hint of possessiveness.

Even if these two mistook his tone, he for sure didn't see them as common partners.

And that aroused them.

Alexandra bit her lips and zipped them.

The evil dragon took that as a chance to laugh at her.

[Go and bow to him. Bow so much that your tits will slap his crotch. Do it, you fake. That's what you want, right? You want to be a good maid and have him treat you like a real maid! And how do men treat real maids in our world? They fuck them until their fucking seed oozes out of their pussies, asses, lips, and noses! Make him fill you up!]

Alexandra whispered inwardly. 'You don't want me to do that… You know master wouldn't do that to me… You want me to confess my feelings. That will be a vulnerable moment where I lose myself… and my defenses….'

[Ah, so you can use some of your brain. I thought my memories were wasted on you. Hah. Yeah, the moment he does you, I'll come out and castrate him. Look how pitiful you are, fake. You're trapped between me and your desires, unable to take a step forward and backward. You deserve that for wasting my body. And how cheap can you be? He didn't temper with your heart and make you into a slut, so how can you wish to spread your legs for him after just a few months of adventuring together? You're so fucking disappointing!]

Alexandra's eyes gleamed.

'You're so childish… True love doesn't need years of nourishment… It's a part of our nature. We want to love as soon as possible. That's why I'm impressed by mistresses and how they hold back from showing their feelings. I'm sure the master's genuine affection gives them strength to do so… Master is also awesome. He will love everyone from the bottom of his heart….'

[Disgusting.]

'You can't understand it because you only trust your strength and no one else… You're so poor you only have that, right? Hehe… In the end, you're Blue Thanatos… The third grade. I'm The Dragon Maid, Master's maid! I know what's better for me!'

[COME HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!]
