Author's Note
Okay, my wonderful readers, Kurogane is once again back from the battlefield with some news. Albeit, good but not the best news. The good news is that I am still writing and thus this chapter and continuing volume 3.5 is being written. I had wrote future volumes already but the reason I hadn't post 'em yet is because they are still in Japanese and I have to translate them into english. Also, another good news is that since Volume 3.5 is like an extra volume, it will have a bunch of comedy, "intense scenes" and some action. This volume deserves to be an actual volume but I decided not to for several reasons. One being the reason that it will simply tell the journey from which Souma travels from the Demon Realm back to the village where he first met his first lovers/fiancees/wives/future family. This extra volume will condition the story instead of Volume 4 where it skips the entire journey and comes to the point where Souma meets Akane and the others. It would seem a bit dull since I had originally planned for a literal time skip. This time skip actually spans a few months, which skips to the point where the war between Klorim and Algarun would be occurring soon. Due to the reason why Volume 4 had such a time skip is due to the fact that I had to accelerate the story. I believe that the story was a bit slow-going and had a lot of development but not enough storyline and action so this is where Volume 4-7 comes in. It will be fast paced and it will span over 3 volumes. However, Volume 3.5 is simply the sweet icing on the cake. It will tell the journey of Souma and his ever growing harem of future wives and for the heck of it, future concubines. Obviously, Souma can't simply marry every single woman that he knows because it would be hectic to keep track of them. Well, I don't know, the whole issue with Souma and his wives are a bit sketchy so if you want them to be all his wives or some his wives and some his concubines, just let me know in the comment section. AH! Let me get to the good stuff then. Volume 3.5 will be a bit short but more updates. Of course, the parts where things get 'intense' will be highly "detailed". Also, I might consider writing the "detailed erotic scenes" while using my experience as an erotica author. If you think that the previous chapters such as "The night is long" or "Another night" is good, you haven't seen much. That was just me playing around. If you want to see an example, you can check one of my short stories that I've written on this site while giving it some attention. I didn't go full blown out but I did write to please. [link is here] Now, while this volume will have some short chapters, there will be some long, detailed ones that will be important for future events. Sorry that it took a while since my last post. I really tried my best to write and post but there hasn't been much time as I've been working overseas. In the desert, the connection is somewhat bad so sometimes, I can't even get online, much less type. Therefore, I have been quite late. My apologies BUT, I did however began to write another story. It will be a bit similar to my other fiction, Infinity Start due to the plot as well as the MC's name except for a few changes but the things that I didn't do in Infinity Start will be appearing in that one, so I will publish that fiction soon. Also, another update, Satou's Unfortunate High School Life will be appearing soon in an update. I will be posting that one soon too. Another update too, Infinity Start will begin once more. I have written chapters and can't wait to translate them over into English. ANOTHER update, The Undying (which is another fiction of mine here) will be getting another chapter! So, majority of my fictions that I post on RRL will be updated soon enough! Thanks for waiting for me. I am very happy to have some dedicated readers that enjoy my stories and continue to support me through their messages. Even some of which like Promicent, who had messaged me on where I have been. Yes, I have been gone for some time but trust me, I will not leave until I finish these stories or I die in the line of duty or get kidnapped by women or get trapped in the Tian shen mountains, or get lost in the Bakara Market. Don't worry, I will finish these stories whether you like it or not!
Volume 3.5 - Chapter 1: The speech and Kidnapped again!?
After the events from the Battle with Galrius, Souma and his group had returned. It was a bit hectic since the girls wouldn't stop jumping him and kissing him. It was crazy but the nearby demons felt it was a normal scene since usually their Maou-sama would usually have multiple wives and countless concubines so it wasn't weird but it felt strange since their Maou-sama had human lovers and the fact that their king was also part human. It was weird but Toru had straighten out the masses.
Souma had told the entire demon capital to meet him at the former place where the palace used to be at. It was still destroyed but the area was a vast land so it would help Souma complete one of his goals.
As Souma and his company of lovers arrived in front of the massive legion of demons, he began to speak.
"People of the Demon Realm, I called everyone here for some news. First of all, we will no longer be threatened by the Gods that banished Asmodan. This realm will be under the jurisdiction of The Demon King until I find a way to return Asmodan to his realm. Now, I will be addressing some things that I have heard from everyone. As you can see, I look like a human because I am one. Now, it seems preposterous that a human like me is actually the demon king but I am also part Demon due to being the apostle of Kami-sama. Yes, the god known as Kami-sama is the brother of Asmodan. They both are currently missing and it is somewhat my job to finish what they've started. To prove that I am your Demon King, I shall transform."
[Daemon Regis]!
A surge of darkness erupted from Souma and his figure began to distort and his presence enshrouded the entire realm. Every single demon within the Realm could feel his regal aura and dark power. Many demons recognized this aura and they began to converge at the Maran Kingdom. The harpy sisters also flew towards the area where Souma had activated his transformation. They were nearby so it didn't take long for them to spot him. They felt a sense of nostalgia as they recognized his gaze.
Souma's figure grew two meters tall and his dark skin was covered in a regal robe that spoke of unmatched power and ferocity. His runic symbols flickered as the multitude of eyes roamed his entire outfit. His horns were long and curved upwards as if it were piercing the skies. His gaze remained the same but they could feel the raw strength emanating from him.

"As you can see, I have the recognition of Asmodan and I claim the power as your demon king. But first...As the Demon King, I, Souma Kurogane, summon the Demon Army!"
Then before anyone could react, dark figures appeared from all over the area. Some came from the skies, some erupted from the ground and many blinked into existence as they formed their ranks directly around the group of demons in the land area. It was ridiculous since this army was much more than Galrius' and the generals were emitting a strong aura that nearly made several demons faint from the oppressive feeling. Souma mentally told them to lower their auras so the demons could handle the pressure and he continued to talk.
"This is the army that will protect this realm. Yes, be as it may, your Demon King must set off on his journey. I need to return to a certain location to meet some people and I will continue on and fight the remaining Apostles but the main problem is that I have to make sure that this upcoming war between the two human kingdoms do not escalate. Also, do not fret, my citizens. Your king will be successful and do not worry about your safety because, "
Then Toru phased into existence while in his vassal form. He looked similar to Souma's previous Demon King form but it lacked the regal aura but he had the oppressive nature of a king's vassal.
"This is Toru, he will be my replacement as I will be gone. He is my brother and better yet, the apostle of Asmodan, our Demon god. Now, this is a lot of news to take in but I hope you will move on. I hope for the races of the Demon Realm to unite and especially unite with the world. I wish for the people to forgive the atrocities that the humans have caused. On behalf of my honor, I plead you to forgive them."
Souma bowed and his company of lovers bowed together with him. Toru and the Demon generals followed in response and bowed. The demons were struck dumbfounded and some began to cry because their king was asking them to forgive the humans. Many shouted for Souma to raise his head and eventually he did.
His expression was calm and he was glad that his people didn't revolt in outrage for his request. He smiled and he noticed some people were staring at him. He looked at the two harpy sisters that somewhat stared confusingly except for the docile harpy named Faelin. She was happily smiling while shedding some tears at him. Kaeli was still confused what was going on until...
Souma began to release his transformation and he returned back to original human form. The crowd was more or less accepting his human form but then the confused harpy screamed at his sudden appearance. She somewhat glared but she was flustered that she did something so stupid.
The other person that stared at him so blatantly was the 7th General. That particular person was wearing a black gown that emphasized her overly beautiful figure. She no longer had her usual dark mist surrounding her and she had pearl white skin that shined brightly from the sunlight. Duana was smiling at the Demon King and in response, he smiled back. His company of lovers noticed that he stared at the harpy sisters and Duana so they immediately pinched him at every corner of his body, eliciting a shout from the demon king. The crowd laughed but there were some demons that stared heavily at the girls that dared to injure their king but Souma waved them off.
Souma looked at the demons and raised his hands while speaking.
"Also, with the power bestowed to me by the Demon god, Asmodan, I shall restore the might of the Demon race...."
An aura unlike no other began to erupt from Souma's hand that he raised towards the skies. It was familiar to his demonic aura but it was unique. The air around Souma began to vibrate as Souma continued to charge his entirety into restoring the strength of the demon race. And by doing so, he will sever the link that the Demon Realm has with the Garoth, therefore eliminating the teleportation link he has to the Demon realm.
A burst of power fluctuated and buffeted the nearby people. Souma's leather belt and straps flapped as a pressure was being formed directly above him. Then, as the power grew, it simply bursted into an array of multiple colors. Those colors enshrouded the skies and the demons began to glow slightly. Their powers were returning and many began to yell "Maou-sama" constantly as Souma had successfully restored the might of the Demon Race.
Even Lenia, Flora and Serina received their boosts. Their appearances slightly changed a bit. Lenia had a more adult charm that suited her race alongside her mother that regained her youth. Serina was the most that changed however. Her hair had turned red-black and her dark powers were being emitted vibrantly. They were all elated beyond measure and they eventually went up and kissed the hell out of their husband and king.
The demons were cheering and Souma's group was beginning to depart but then something happened.
Two harpies flew up and they charged at the Demon King. Souma mentally told his generals to hold off since he knew them but then something unexpected happened also. Duana had charged up alongside the two harpies and they immediately tackled Souma and kidnapped him. Duana had mentally contacted the two so they could cooperate and thus this plan was concocted. Faelin wanted to thank Souma, albeit in an amorous way while her sister Kaeli wanted to apologize and she somewhat wants to give herself to Souma but Duana's silent and deadly demeanor spoke of her undying love for Souma. She wanted to make love for him in the most passionate ways possible and her eyes had a eerily glow to them as if she would kill anyone that dared to harm him.
Thus, Souma was somewhat intentionally kidnapped and the company of lovers were pissed beyond measure. They wanted answers and Toru sighed as his brother was being chased by all these women. The remaining generals laughed and one of the female generals sighed as she wanted a piece of that man-meat known as her commander and king. But the other female general was more astonishing as she was eye-raping Toru's handsome figure. Toru had shivered from the unknown gaze that was directed at him and he shook it off and began to speak to the stunned crowd.
"Well, our King is going to be busy so we shall celebrate for three days and begin reconstruction on the Maran Kingdom and unite the Demon Realm! For our king, Souma!"
"Souma-sama!"
"Maou-sama!"
"Souma-sama!"
"Maou-sama!"
Thus the three days of festivals began but Souma was still kidnapped by three rambunctious females that wanted a piece....
