“Weapons shop?” Lucifer and Freya tilted their heads in unison.

“Hmm…yep, a weapons shop.”

“But why would you want to go to such a place, Acedia-sama?”

“We could summon the best blacksmith in the demon realm to produce a weapon of your preference.”

“I want to have a look at their workshop and see the extent of the technology in this world. I have no clue how strong the people and weapons in this world are.”

“I see…if that is your wish, I shall make the preparations right away.” Ooh! That’s Lucifer for you! I can always depend on a puppy dog like him!

Wait a minute. Isn't it better to just teleport my way there? Opening the gates to the demon lord's castle could cause a big fuss. “Hmmm…can you show me the location of the workshop on a map Lucifer?”

Lucifer tilted his head wondering what I was up to, “Yes?... Certainly.” He put his hand into his coat and took out a scroll out of nowhere. Is it something like an item box? Or spatial magic?

“Is that spatial magic, Lucifer?”

“It’s not spatial magic, dark magic allows you to produce a storage space of about 50 cubic meters which allows you to store any non-living things in it.” Hmmm…so it’s like an item box with dark magic huh. I guess I could incorporate that with spatial magic and produce an item box that could stop time.

“Does the storage space stop time on the inside or something?”

“It doesn’t, Acedia-sama?” Lucifer was wondering what I was getting at.

“So…are there any spatial magic users you know of?”

“I’m sorry, but I do not think spatial magic users exist. It's only known legends and myths. Are you able to use such magic Acedia-sama?”

“You could say that’s my spatiality, I guess."

"As expected of my master. I can't believe you can use spatial magic, Acedia-sama!"

Let’s see…” I ignored his rambling and opened the map he gave me, “can you show me the place where the workshop is?”

“It’s right here.” he pointed out a spot a few meters away from the castle. The city we're in is called the Deraim and it's the capital of the Demon Realm. And the official name used for the Demon realm is 'The Abyss of Dementia'. Deraim

I used a raven under Ruby's command to scout the area. Since the place was pretty close, I didn't have to worry about much. I could see a panoramic view through the bird's eyes and it flew to the place I wanted it to. It felt like the raven was moving according to my thoughts or instincts. It was easy to spot the workshop since it was the only building in the area, surrounded by a wasteland. Most of the land in the demon realm was similar, it was infertile and burnt to a crisp you could rarely find any greenery.

The raven slowly landed on the window sill and peeked into the workshop. I spotted a muscular bearded man slamming on a chunk of metal as sweat dripped down his broad shoulders.

“Well then, I guess we can get going now.” I changed into my official clothing from my usual outfit (I just put on my coat and shoes though…), I looked at Lucifer and Freya, who was wondering what I was trying to do…I raised my right hand and snapped my fingers right in front of their faces, everything around them started warping and we were instantly transported into the workshop.

That’s right! This is the most infamous teleportation magic! Thanks to my spatial magic I could easily teleport to wherever and whenever I wanted in mere seconds, as long as I had seen the place with my own eyes. And thanks to Ruby’s and Sapphire’s ravens and spiders I could easily teleport to wherever I want if I just send one of them to scout the area.

The shopkeeper totally freaked out when we suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Both Lucifer and Freya were surprised by what just happened too. I just stood there watching their reaction with a pleasant grin on my face.

“Whoa!” the shopkeeper shouted in surprise. He almost fell into the flames with his hammer weighing a ton.

Once he noticed Lucifer and Freya, he instantly got on his knees and bowed towards them.

The two of them were furious. They released their aura and the shopkeeper trembled on his knees in both confusion and the pressure which overwhelmed him. Why are they bullying the old man for no reason?

“Rodon! How dare you disrespect our master?!” Lucifer declared in a booming voice. The shopkeeper flinched for a second and looked up at me, I gave him an awkward smile and his eyes went wide open. He immediately lowered his head.

“P-please forgive my rudeness, my lord.” having an elderly person bow down to me doesn't feel right. Especially when they respect me.

“Oh! It’s alright, we were the ones who suddenly barged in all of a sudden…” he had his head faced down, “…um…you can raise your head now, you know?” I was trying my best to calm down the tense atmosphere around us, but it just seemed to be getting worse by the minute.

I put my hand on my head and let out a deep sigh, “Haaaah”. I looked at both Lucifer and Freya who were currently in the process of intimidating Mr. Rodon. I hit the two on the head, a loud bang resonating through the workshop. The two were dumbfounded and literally froze up staring into the fire in front of them.

The two of them just stood still stood their dumbfounded, while I was slowly behind them and patted their heads feeling sorry for the two. Now that I look at them from the back, I’m pretty much the same height as them huh? Lucifers is a bit taller than Freya though.

I reached out both my hands and ran my fingers through their backs, and both of them flinched at once feeling a chill run down their spine. Well, Lucifer’s wearing a suit but since Freya’s wearing a backless dress, I could feel her smooth skin…hehehe…I wish I could do this forever you know…

Argh! No-no-no-no-no-NO!!! I can’t! I can’t possibly have such dirty thoughts towards them!!! I’m their mommy figure, and I’ve got to discipline them, you get it? That’s right I’m their MOM!!! And this is legitimate discipline!

The two of them were standing right beside each other, so I put my head between them, “You don’t want to make me angry now, do you?” I whispered into their ears, in a creepy low voice.

And the two shook their heads so hard they would've come off. They know how scary I am when I'm angry. Once the two calmed down, they turned towards me and bowed their heads in remorse. “We’re sorry, master please forgive our rudeness!”

Sigh…are these people some kind of apologizing machines or something? Why in the world does everyone here keep apologizing to me 24/7 anyway?

"Why did you scare him the moment we got in here?"

"...because he was disrespectful..." They were both so silent.

"It's not his fault. He didn't even know who I was. You can't just lash out at people like that!"

"We're sorry master..." they were both staring at the floor unable to look into my eyes.

"...sigh...just be careful from now on. Are you gonna do something like this again?"

"..."

Mm! These brats sure are gonna do it again!

I held them by their hair and pulled them closer.

"Understood?"

"Y-yes, ma'am!"

"Mm! Good!"

I exclaimed while puffing my chest forward all proud of my accomplishments at disciplining two rowdy brats. (What? You don't have to tell me! I know that I don’t have those since I’m genderless, okay?)
