Brave Soul of Evil Supremacy

Urza was forcefully separated from me after being stabbed in the buttocks with a scythe, and her face turned scarlet with rage.

"I will kill you... I will skin you alive and feast on your flesh, desu~no!" Urza snarled, her voice dripping with malice.

"......"

As Urza emitted an aura of murderous intent and readied her demon club, Miura Agares, the archduke of hell, sneered at her while embracing me in the position Urza was just in.

With Death Scythe in one hand, she shook the tip of the blade, as if to say, "Try to kill me if you can."

Although both Loli, with a height barely half of mine, had a serious killing intent, it was no laughing matter that they were both older than me.

Hey, stop!" I yelled, my voice laced with urgency. "Both of you, put down your weapons!"

"We can't have allies killing each other!" I continued, my tone incredulous. "This is outrageous!"

"Muu..." Urza grumbled, reluctantly putting away her weapon.

"......" Miura remained silent.

Upon being scolded, the two reluctantly put away their weapons.

As the air of imminent crisis subsided, I breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miura, what are you doing out here so suddenly? Is there something you need?" I queried, trying to keep the conversation light after the tension that had just occurred.

Miura was a demon I summoned, but instead of returning to hell, she remained in this world, living in my shadow.

Although she occasionally appeared to beg for sweets or to take a bath together, she rarely showed her face.

"......"

Miura stared blankly at my face without expression.

I still have no idea what she is thinking, but... as we stare at each other, she opens her mouth.

"...Cute. I love you." Miura's unexpected words caught me off guard, and I stumbled for a response.

"Huh?" I asked, unsure how to react.

"......" Miura closed her mouth again and turned her back to me, walking towards the giant beehive left by Queen Bee.

Raising her large scythe and swinging it once, golden honey ran out of the slit.

"...Hmm, delicious," she murmured, savoring the taste.

"Oh! That's not fair, desu~no! It's Urza's honey, desu~no!" Urza protested, rushing over to scoop up some honey and taste it.

"It's sweet, delicious, and absolutely mouth-watering! Goshujin-sama, what is this honey?" She asked, impressed by the flavor.

"It's queen bee honey. It's different from ordinary honey."

Queen bee is the queen of bees in this world. It's one of the strongest insect-type monsters.

The honey produced by this monster in its hive is one of the 'seven delicacies of the world' and is an item required to complete a certain sub-quest.

I took a white bread from my magic bag, tore it into bite-sized pieces, put some honey on it, then brought it to my mouth...the superb sweetness spread over my tongue.

"Mmm...!"

Since reincarnating in this world, I have been impressed by various dishes in games, but this honey is beyond compare.

Clearly, the honey is different from the other honey I have tasted so far. It's incredibly rich and sweet, with a refreshing flavor, and I feel like I could eat it endlessly.

Even those who don't like sweet food would naturally bring this to their mouth.

Here is a superb sweet taste that has attracted gourmets from all over the world.

"Ah, Urza wants bread too, desu~no!" Urza said, with a playful lilt in her voice.

"Hmm," Miura hummed, as if she wanted to.

"Yeah, okay, wait a minute. These also look delicious... I think I'll try them," I replied.

Urza and Miura hold out their hands to me.

I take out bread, crackers, scones, and fruits, laying them out on a handkerchief on the ground.

The two young girls take them one by one, eating them with honey.

"Ah, juicy. It's very mild, desu~no," Urza exclaimed, her voice full of delight.

"Delicious... It's very delicious" Miura said between bites, her tone of voice surprisingly enthusiastic.

Urza is stuffing herself with the honey bread, her cheeks puffed up with a happy expression.

Miura, who is usually a quiet person, had unusually flushed cheeks and was chomping on a honey-covered cracker.

"I guess girls really like sweets... Well, I don't hate them either" I said with a chuckle, my tone jovial.

While watching them smiling, I put honey into the empty jar I brought with me.

The honey overflowed from the cut surface attached to the nest. It would be a shame to leave the honey that couldn't fit in the jar on the ground.

"Alright... This should be enough. I have a good souvenir for Levienna," I said, my voice filled with satisfaction.

I fill all the jars I have with honey and store them in my magic bag.

Levienna will be very happy when I bring it back to her. Aeris and Nagisa will have some too.

"I wonder what to do with Ciel and the others...," I said with a thoughtful tone, pausing for a moment.

Normally I wouldn't feel obligated to share, but now they are depressed because of what happened to Leon. I have no choice but to give them one jar.

It would be better to give one to Leon's mother as well, as a gesture of thanks for their hospitality.

"Now all that's left is..."

'Gii'

As I looked down at the ground, something crawled out of a beehive and scurried into the forest.

It was a monster the size of a kitten, shaped like a white caterpillar. It is the child of a queen bee. A larva of the queen bee.

"Hmph..."

'Gii!?'

I reached for the fleeing caterpillar crawling on the ground.

The caterpillar runs away desperately to survive, but it can't escape and is caught.

"I'm sorry. I'll just take this."

I peeled off the eggshell attached to the larva's back and let the remaining creature scurry away.

'Gii...?'

The larva, which had been curled up in a ball in a state of despair, squeaked in fright, but when it realized that it had been saved, it hurriedly disappeared into the woods.

"Goshujin-sama, what is that?" Urza asked with a curious tone.

"This? This is an item called 'royal jelly' or 'king honey'."

Royal jelly - the food that the larva was eating - is an ingredient for medicine rather than food and is a very valuable item.

"Munch munch, slurp slurp," Urza savored the sweetness of the honey.

"Mmm..." Miura hummed in satisfaction.

"Now we have what we came for. It was worth the long walk through the forest."

I mutter to myself as I look at the two young girls happily eating honey.
