What if you are reborn as a demon after a funeral?.

..............................

..............................

After Ariel laid out her idea, she didn't have many objections. After all, it sounded like a win-win situation, or even a win-win-win situation... The natives could live on for a while longer.

After reaching an agreement, Ash very naturally spread his legs, revealing the greedy and familiar vampire on his thigh. Ignoring Sophia's unsatisfied expression, he silently returned to the world he once knew with the three of them.

This world has long been firmly under Ariel's control.

Both the demonic forces and the human faction are under her control.

Especially those elves who were despised by Ariel, when they became the defeated, were simply and ruthlessly wiped out.

Upon her return, Ariel immediately convened a meeting to systematically organize manpower to prepare for the relocation.

At that time, Ash will transfer the entire world, including its inhabitants, into the bounded space.

However, in order to avoid causing unnecessary panic, some necessary preparations still need to be made.

Moreover, after moving to the new world, a strong force will be needed to maintain order and control the situation, and these personnel must be prepared in advance.

Even Shiraori took action, gathering her retinues scattered throughout the Great Labyrinth to form a personal guard to maintain order.

So Sophia was left with nothing to do... and she kept pestering Ash, insisting on going inside the Realm of Limits first.

Ash didn't think much of it and took her with him to his familiar cathedral.

There wasn't really any particular reason; it was just a habit of using this church as an anchor point.

It was here that so many stories unfolded, and now, seeing such a familiar scene, he couldn't help but have some strange thoughts, and even some regrets about coming here.

"Wow~ Surprisingly impressive! But why make this place so lavish when there's no one else around?"

Sofia strolled through the magnificent cathedral within the inherent barrier, her gaze sweeping over every intricately carved decoration. She praised it verbally, but inwardly she had no interest in appreciating this splendid sight.

She deliberately let Ash bring her here, claiming she wanted to explore this novel place on her own, but in reality, she was a shut-in vampire; she certainly didn't have any of those kinds of hobbies like a social butterfly. Of course, she had ulterior motives.

Therefore, her gaze would occasionally sweep over Ash, who seemed to be troubled by something, but seeing that there was indeed no one around, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly, revealing a sly smile, and she muttered to herself:

"You all say I'm the vixen, so today I'll be the vixen to the end! And I'll make Mr. Ash understand right away that someone like me is a real woman!"

Still lost in thought, Ash felt a chill run down his spine. He instinctively turned around and noticed Sophia, who had been gazing into the distance, staring at him intently, seemingly saying something. Curious, he asked:

"...Sofia, did you say something? Is there something you're concerned about?"

"W-nothing... Ah, no! That!"

She panicked for a moment, but then Sophia noticed a small confessional in a side hall not far away. Her eyes lit up, and she pointed to the confessional: "—That's something I care about very much!"

"...It's just an ordinary confessional, nothing to worry about. Let's go outside and take a look."

Ash glanced at it briefly, then quickly remembered the confessional and hurried outside.

"Hey, hey hey~!" Sophia saw Ash about to leave and hurriedly ran a few steps to catch up, grabbing his clothes and saying coquettishly, "--Don't be in such a hurry to leave, that confessional looks quite mysterious, maybe there are some treasures hidden inside, let's go in and take a look~!"

"...I created all of this, and there's no one else here. Why do you think there might be some treasure over there? Why don't we go outside and take a look?"

"There's no one else here...that's fine, I guess."

"Anything is fine?"

"No, there's nothing there! Let's go!"

With no one else around, there were no competitors or unwanted passersby, so it didn't matter if she wasn't in the confessional! With this thought in mind, Sophia walked quickly ahead.

But before she had taken two steps, she remembered something, turned back silently, and quietly took Ash's hand.

..............................

Outside the cathedral lies a particularly spacious square.

Sunlight streamed down into the square, bathing the ground in a golden glow. Around it stood exquisite statues, all lifelike, as if telling stories of gods and the past... though they were all just Ash's whimsical creations, devoid of any history or narrative.

On both sides of the square, there are large and magnificent buildings, but unfortunately... there is not a single person in sight, making it look particularly desolate, yet the scenery is unexpectedly solemn and splendid.

"Standing hand in hand in front of the church at sunset, it always feels like...so shy~! Just like lovers!"

Sophia's delicate face flushed with shyness. She glanced at Ash, then quickly twisted her body and lowered her head, while her hands gripped tightly.

Looking at her shy and bashful appearance, Ash couldn't help but find it amusing, and even a little speechless:

“What’s there to be ashamed of? I’ve been holding your hand since you were a baby. In the end, you were trained by Shirai to the point of incontinence and couldn’t move when you were lying on the ground. Neither of the other two wanted to help you, so I was the one who carried you into the river to wash you. I still remember it... I was holding you in one hand while you were still dripping ‘water’ from below.”

"......"

Ash's instinctive remark instantly reminded Sophia of the unbearable childhood he had described, and all the romance in her heart vanished without a trace, turning her face a deep purplish-red.

"You, you, you... how could you bring up these old stories at this time!" Sophia stomped her foot angrily, her original shy demeanor completely gone.

Ash shrugged innocently: "You were the one who got shy first, so I just casually mentioned something from the past."

"That was all when I was a kid. I'm different now!"

"where?"

“Breasts! Very big!” Sophia bluntly and directly cupped her breasts with both hands, their magnificent sight making one want to swallow hard. Ash didn’t know where to look for a moment: “…As a girl, don’t you think it’s a little pathetic to consider this as part of your growth?”

"Oh, not watching? There's potential?! Are you shy?! Are you tempted?"

Although Ash's comments were particularly sharp, Sophia noticed that he was looking elsewhere, and excitedly moved closer, even putting all her evil on him.

The overwhelming and irresistible, yet unwilling-to-resist, pressure left Ash speechless for a moment.

Normally, he should have said something to Sophia, but now, under the gaze of those crimson eyes, he lost his voice.

Seeing this, Sofia was very happy, touching her red lips with her slender fingertips and revealing a charming and alluring smile:

"As expected, I'm still quite charming, aren't I?"

"...I don't deny that you're a fool, but...can't you use that charm for something worthwhile?"

Faced with a girl who was too mature for her age, Ash could only try to avoid looking at her, despite the alluring scene.

Upon hearing Ash's initial approval, a hint of smugness flashed in Sophia's eyes. She deliberately pressed herself even closer, her full curves pressed tightly against Ash's body, her breath sweet and fragrant.

"The right path? What right path? All I want to know right now is whether you're captivated by me~?"

Her voice was soft yet alluring, as if it possessed a magical power, causing Ash's heart to beat faster involuntarily.

Sophia keenly sensed this through the touch of her skin, her eyes gleaming with a sly light. Seeing Ash remain silent, she blushed again and licked her lips rather lewdly:

"If you give in to me now, I'll give you everything I have, including your favorite breasts... you can touch them!"

"What nonsense are you spouting! How could I possibly be interested in your kind of...?" He wanted to reprimand him righteously and loudly, but the wicked fruit was too tempting, and he found it hard to resist.

"Interested? Really want to... right?" Sofia grinned mischievously, choosing words that only benefited herself.

This misinterpretation, taking things out of context yet managing to pinpoint the core issue, left Ash speechless for a long time before finally saying helplessly:

"...I don't really want to! And don't you think this kind of seduction is inappropriate, especially considering our relationship?"

"—There's nothing I can do! I don't know how to do anything else!"

Being lectured again at this moment made Sophia a little annoyed. She complained bitterly, grabbed his hand, pouted, and said with tears welling up in her eyes, "Am I really that unattractive?!"

"...No, I'm just worried..."

"—So it's true! Right!" Sophia's heart skipped a beat, and joy appeared on her face as she quickly asked.

"...That's right."

"I want to do something lewd with you! Do you want to?"

Faced with that awkward affirmation, she was overjoyed and decided to throw caution to the wind, raising her head and staring straight at him.

"Before doing those things, think about Ariel and Shiraori... So, I feel like something's not right, is it?"

What if I marry someone else?

"Then... I'll have very mixed feelings!"

"Isn't that perfect? ​​You raised me! You're responsible for me! -- Perfect! Yes, perfect!"

Sophia nodded to herself, thus forcibly completing the logical loop: "In that case, what's there to hesitate about!"

"My morals and bottom line are preventing me from doing this..."

He was somewhat conflicted when faced with this girl who appeared mature and sophisticated but was actually quite naive.

Although she knew many of the other party's shameful deeds, Sofia was indeed drawn to her own aesthetic sense and sexual fetishes.

But just pushing it down like that feels illogical, and it just feels a bit strange.

However, Sophia also showed an almost anxious expression at this moment... Ash, who knew her well, understood that she was planning to act recklessly without any regard for the consequences.

After much hesitation, Ash finally let out a long sigh, reached out and placed his hand on her head to stop her from kissing him so close, and conjured a bench out of thin air.

He sat down in the chair with Ash and patted his thigh.

"Huh?" Sofia, who was about to burst into tears, was stunned after her plan to force a kiss and force the issue to become a fait accompli seemed to have failed.

"Don't just stand there... I'll teach you that kind of thing, little by little, shall I?"

"Teaching... what is teaching...?" she asked blankly, carefully sitting down.

Ash didn't say anything, but simply reached out and gently pinched her chin, making her look up at him. While she was still in a daze, he kissed the lips of this stupid vampire.

This sudden touch left Sofia's mind blank at first, but she responded with an exaggerated and intense reaction.

Ash had even initially planned to use teaching her health and physical education as an excuse to gradually...

Before Ash could even do anything reckless, the girl's soft little hands tore his belt before he could even touch that enormous evil.

In broad daylight, in front of the sacred cathedral, in the open square, a rather taboo scene, unsuitable for children, soon appeared.

...

Chapter Two: Liberating Sally - Immigrant Inherent Barrier - Four Against One (Goddess), the Advantage Lies With Me

In front of the magnificent cathedral that Ash built to cultivate his image...

In the dappled sunlight cast by the majestic spire of the magnificent cathedral, the sun, like a golden veil, gently bathed Ash and Sofia, adding an indescribable and enchanting touch to this seemingly forbidden scene.
