## Chapter 1719 – The Life of a Transcender – A Black-Haired Foreigner’s Tale

“Give it back!”
“Nope. Now that you’ve been caught, no exceptions.”

Why is she drinking tea with a Kim Kat Dakimakura in a place that isn’t even her room?

This isn’t Shahran’s room. It’s the main hall. I used a gate to get here, and when I’m confronted with a scene like this, I have no choice but to impose sanctions.

This impudent woman.

“Why do you take away even this joy! Is it a sin to like something!”

Of course, Shahran overreacted as usual and shouted. She’s probably older than Claudia, but she’s a complete child. But she’s younger than Risha, so can I call her a child? My sense of age is getting confused these days.

“If you get caught, you have to have it taken away, you idiot.”

Anyway, I don’t care whether Shahran likes me or not.

“Please! Just this once!”

Damn, if she was going to play with it, she should have done it in her own room. There’s no way I’d ever break into Shahran’s room.

It’s a crime for not maintaining security.

“Nope. I won’t let it go. Get lost. Do you think I’d grant such a request?”
“It’s a pillow I’m attached to…!”
“I’m not attached to it!”
“Aaaaaaaagh!”

Pure despair!

“Hehehe.”

Seeing a grown elf act like that made me laugh. She’s always been such a cheerful woman. Actually, she used to feel almost like a mental patient, but I’m glad she’s just become more outgoing these days.

When I first saw her, she was just a psycho. She’s less of a psycho these days.

“Don’t just laugh, listen to me! I’ll give you other pillows! But not that one…!”
“You have more? All confiscated.”
“You can do that!”

I don’t know what the criteria are.

“Please!”

Eventually, Shahran reached the point of charging at me almost like she was jumping. Of course, I easily dodged her by stepping aside. Nevertheless, Shahran didn’t give up.

—Clutch!

She grabbed my calf.

“Save me! That’s my life!”
“Oh, you little brat! Just give up! Date some elf men!”
“I don’t want to! They don’t satisfy me!”

Elf men don’t satisfy her.

Well, yeah.

The man who encompasses the very concept of coolness and awesomeness is none other than Kim Kat. It can’t be helped. The women who see me have no choice but to have their standards raised to the extreme.

But that’s life. There are very few beings who can get what they want as they want it. Only someone like me can do it. Even if all the women in the world wanted to be mine, it wouldn’t be possible.

“I hate elves…!”

If she hates elves, she should hook up with a human.

“Then date a human.”
“Aren’t you going to ask me why I hate elves?”
“Why would I?”
“Then I’ll tell you.”

Ah, damn it.

I didn’t ask.

“You know. The elves locked me up here. But the Heavenly Demon saved me… and I finally became free… that’s why this feeling has amplified even more! Even though I’ve come out of the cage, I can’t reach him!”
“That’s quite a tragedy!”

It’s too big of a tragedy!

“But tragedy is beautiful when it’s a tragedy. Move forward tragically, Shahran!”
“Khaaaaaaagh!”

In the end, Shahran couldn’t withstand the blow and fell back.

“Forget your foolish ambition.”
“Is love ambition?”
“Yeah.”

Why would I take on a new wife now? Eliza was the last train. Everyone has already had kids and is raising them.

“Hey, hey. More importantly.”
“What do you mean ‘more importantly’! This is the most important topic.”
“Not to me.”

—Whoosh!

I immediately created a chair with my power and sat on it.

“More importantly, how’s the, uh, the elf country, no, the elf administrative district, is it running well?”
“Ah…!”

Shahran blushed as soon as I gave her the praise she deserved.

“C-compliments…”

She likes it.

“So I’m very satisfied. Keep doing this in the future. The elves need to integrate well into this world.”

Due to racial differences, the Elven Forest remained a nation for quite some time, but eventually it was all assimilated and incorporated into the administrative district.

“Yes, yes…! I’ll do as you say. T-thank you for the compliment.”
“I have to give praise where praise is due. So I came to see how things were going.”

I have to see everyone once in a while.

“I wish you’d come more often…”
“You’re always causing trouble, so I only come at times like this, you idiot.”
“Hmph!”
“Don’t pretend to cry.”
“Ah, but Heavenly Demon. How is the World Tree doing?”
“She’s doing great. She’s just lazing around all day.”
“It seems she’s living comfortably.”
“Yeah. And I take her out and use her when I need her.”

The World Tree has essentially become my Chikorita.

She’s completely captured by my barrier and is following my orders.

I don’t really intend to release her. She ate too many elf souls. It’s reasonable to keep her like a Pokémon and take her out whenever I need her.

But she seems happy that she’s been freed from her duties.

“I want to be captured too.”
“I won’t capture you.”
“Exchange me with the World Tree!”
“No.”

There’s no way I’d exchange her.

Well, I spent a short time talking with Shahran appropriately. There were a few things I wanted to talk about regarding the elves.

“By the way, you’re popular on Earth.”
“Ah, you mean on the internet.”
“Yeah.”

The internet was created, and information about this world was being passed to Earth. The most representative of these was information about me, as well as other minor things.

Shahran seemed to be gaining some popularity because of the fact that she was the former Elf Queen.

“I know that. The internet is also interesting.”
“Then work hard on that.”
“You’re not going to confiscate my photo folder, are you?”
“Why would I confiscate something you collected from the internet?”
“Ah! I have permission!”

This guy is suspicious.

But I didn’t want to bother searching, so I decided to leave it alone.

“Ah, but Heavenly Demon. Your children have grown up wonderfully.”
“Yeah.”
“I could also give birth to such upright children—”
“Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”

—Fwoooooosh!

“Uaaaaaaaagh!”

At that moment, a gust of wind blew, and Shahran flew away. Well, that’s it for here. I opened a gate without hesitation and left the elf administrative district. Who does this guy think he’s going to have children with!

* * *

“Yo. Mariel, you little punk.”

I spoke to the back of the head walking in front of me.

“This voice, could it be!!!”

—Jump!

Mariel jumped up in surprise and turned to look at me.

“Why hasn’t this guy changed at all? His reaction is always the same.”
“Isn’t that the same for the Heavenly Demon!”

Saying that anyone would act the same if they saw me, Mariel prepared to raise her guard and greeted me.

“Oh, long time no see. Heavenly Demon. The, the reason I’m not using extreme honorifics is… because the Heavenly Demon said there’s no need to use them directly. So don’t be angry.”
“Bullshit. As if I’d hit you for that. Ugh. You son of a bitch.”
“Son of a bitch…”

She’s asking for a fist.

“I just called you because I saw you on the way. Consider yourself unlucky.”
“That’s what I’m saying.”
“Fist smack.”
“Aaaaaaaagh!”
“You’re screaming even though I didn’t hit you?”
“Save me!”
“Stop it. How have you been?”
“What?”

Mariel’s appearance hadn’t changed much. If anything had changed, it was that the clothes she was wearing had become more expensive. Even though she looks like that, she’s Liz’s right-hand woman. I heard she’s getting paid well and getting all sorts of management.

Still, Liz has a lot of loyalty and takes good care of her former subordinates. Of course, she makes them work just as much.

“Is this an inquiry about my well-being… well, needless to say, I’m doing well. Guild Leader. No. She’s the Queen now. But that title isn’t familiar.”

That’s true.

“I’m working directly with the Queen, so how could I be lacking anything? I’m living a very affluent life. Frankly speaking, I’m so happy I could die. I’ve made a big success.”

—Smirk.

Mariel said that and gave a slight smile that came from the heart. It seems like an expression that came from thinking about Liz.

“Ah, damn it, I’m suddenly jealous.”
“What?!”
“Seeing Mariel doing so well makes me jealous. You tried to beat me up when you first saw me, didn’t you? Do you remember?”
“No! Why are you still talking about something from so long ago! How many years ago do you think that was!”

Mariel screamed in surprise. How dare this guy yell at the Emperor? Of course, I’m generous, so I decided to just keep it in my heart and move on.

“Hehehe, I’m the type of person who holds a grudge to the end if I don’t like someone.”
“What kind of god and emperor is that…!”
“That’s the Heavenly Demon Kim Kat. That’s just how I am.”

But well, even so, Mariel is an acquaintance. She hasn’t really directly bothered me, has she?

“So, it’s time for retribution.”
“Someone save me! Uaaaaaaagh!”

As soon as I threw out a joke, Mariel screamed in earnest and ran away, so I just let her go. I’ll tell Liz.

* * *

And as planned, I came to see Meria.

“Wow! You’ve completely become a CEO!”
“Can you see it? My wealth?”

As Lina said, Meria, wearing a luxurious fur coat and sunglasses, greeted me. This is another kind of nouveau riche style, but it’s by no means a derogatory term.

It’s quite a popular fashion. It’s the perfect fashion for Meria, a successful CEO, to wear.

“Yeah. Peanuts by my standards.”
“How can I beat the Emperor?”

Of course, nouveau riche fashion can’t beat real rich fashion. Look. I’m wearing a topless upper body and a robe-like lower body.

“Looking at you, you seem to be doing really well. I just thought of you and came to see you.”
“I’m honored that you came.”
“Okay. Be as honored as you want. So what are you up to these days? Kopson is working hard on mana training. Are you doing some too?”
“You can feel it? As you said, I’m spending some time doing mana training. Mana is essential to live a long life.”
“Yeah. You still look young.”
“I am young!”

Time has passed and she’s changed a bit. If she keeps eating elixirs and working hard on mana training, she won’t change much more.

Well, I chatted with Meria while drinking tea. Then Meria picked up her coat and said.

“Ah, but. I’m doing fashion design these days. Look at this. I designed this fur coat.”

You did that?

“It’s not bad.”

It’s kind of okay.
I like it.

“Right? Tell the Queens to come this way if they want to buy clothes. I’ll design them myself. I worked with Queen Claudia, didn’t I? Just leave it to me. I’ll give you a discount.”

Giving a discount to the Emperor, she’s become a businesswoman. That’s really cool. But buying clothes?

“Hey, Meria.”
“Yeah?”
“Actually, the Queens don’t buy clothes.”
“Huh? What? What are you talking about? They don’t buy clothes?”
“Like this.”

—Whoosh!

I immediately created a piece of clothing on my hand.

It’s nothing to create things using power.

“No! That’s cheating! You have to buy clothes and wear them! How can you make them with God Power and wear them!”
“Don’t impose market logic on a god, child.”
“What are you talking about!”
“Hehehe.”

But honestly, this is the most comfortable.
