Chapter 183
PHA – Chapter 183 – Is It Wrong to Be a Lolicon?!
The direction of the Conference of Kings gradually became skewed as the various kings began discussing Alice’s interests. Evidently, these kings all wished to win over the Hero, so they were eagerly trying to learn about Alice’s interests.
However, Alice had no idea how she should answer these people. Should she say that she was interested in panties? She obviously couldn’t say that. As for other things that she was interested in, the only thing she could think of right now was taboos.
However, even if Alice answered taboos and the various kings were willing to share their respective country’s taboo collections with her, Alice wouldn’t dare accept the offer. After all, doing so would mean owing a favor to these human kings. Should these human kings ask her for help in the future, her decision would be more or less influenced by the favor she owed them.
So, if possible, Alice wished to study taboos secretly or through a direct exchange of benefits. For example, when she secretly studied the elves’ taboos, she had helped the elves secure the rights to the Fruit of God in return. There was also the case where she used a portion of the rights and interests within the Gryffin Kingdom to exchange for the right to read the catkins’ taboos.
Alice was currently a citizen of the Gryffin Kingdom on the surface, so she wasn’t worried about owing Hatter a favor. After all, the benefits the Gryffin Kingdom could reap from having the Hero staying in it were already more than enough to repay whatever favors she owed Hatter. However, if she owed the other human kingdoms a favor, they would probably work her like a horse to get the most out of the favor she owed them.
After enduring the verbal bombardment of the human kings for some time, Alice finally had enough. After leaving behind an “I’m going out for some air,” she promptly fled out of the room. Although this seemed a bit rude of her, she really couldn’t help it. The feeling of being questioned by the human kings was even worse than being questioned by relatives when she returned to her hometown for the New Year.
However, none of the human kings thought Alice was rude for leaving so abruptly. This was because they realized that their behavior just now was indeed a little too aggressive.
Anyone would find it difficult to speak when asked for their preferences by a group of people. Not to mention, while Alice might be the Hero, she was still only a little girl.
After a moment of silence, Hatter faked a light cough and said, “Let’s continue discussing the issue of tariffs.”
Along with Hatter’s reminder, the conference finally got back on track. However, rather than discussing war plans, the human kings continued discussing the diplomatic relationships they shared.
The human kings were different from the demon realm’s Four Heavenly Kings. Almost every Hero had won against their Demon King counterparts in the past, so the human kings were not concerned about whether Alice could defeat the Demon King of this generation. Instead, their concern was how they could reap the most benefits from the Hero.
In contrast, due to the past Demon Kings’ miserable losing streak, the demon realm’s Four Heavenly Kings were focused almost entirely on whether their invasion of the human realm could succeed. So, when they met Alice, their first reaction was to gather and discuss their invasion plans of the human realm.
…
“Huh? Why did you come out so soon, Lord Hero?” When Catherine saw Alice coming out of the conference room, she couldn’t help but grow curious. “Has the conference ended already? The conference sure ended quickly this time. They would always take a long time to finish in past conferences.”
“No. Only the talks about me came to an end. I don’t quite understand the diplomatic relations between countries, so I came out to get some air,” Alice said, explaining herself with an awkward smile. Then, she walked down the corridor with Luna, arrived at the balcony of this floor, and breathed out a sigh of relief.
The floor was currently closed off for the Conference of Kings, so apart from the people in the conference room and Catherine, who stood guard outside the conference room, nobody else was on this floor. Meanwhile, the balcony was far away from Catherine, so Alice wouldn’t have to worry about Catherine eavesdropping on her conversation with Luna.
“Well? Did you find out anything?” Alice asked in a lowered voice as she looked at Luna. “Are there any not-so-good ideas in Etoria’s memories?”
“Yes.” Alice nodded without hesitation. Then, she explained, “That guy is a lolicon. He is keeping a dwarven university student outside of anyone’s knowledge. In addition, he also had some dirty thoughts when he saw you.”
“Who asked you to look into this matter?”
Alice didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when she heard Luna’s answer. In reality, she had also noticed that Etoria was looking at her strangely when she was in the room. However, she didn’t understand what Etoria’s gaze meant at the time. She never thought that the person who had such a good reputation on the internet would be a huge pervert in secret. Sure enough, she couldn’t trust whatever information she saw on the internet unilaterally.
However, what Alice wanted to know wasn’t Etoria’s fetishes. Alice also had a feeling that Luna was bringing up this matter because she was dissatisfied with King Haydn’s attempt at matchmaking her with Etoria. Hence, Luna had brought this matter up with her to crush any possibility of her getting together with Etoria.
“It’s impossible between me and that guy. What I want to know is his thoughts on the demons and if any problems have occurred to threaten his succession of the throne.”
Going by the information the demon spy in the Rhine Kingdom’s Royal Magic Tower sent, Etoria had taken the initiative to contact the demons and try to obtain the demons’ support to secure the throne. This situation showed that Prince Etoria had the intent to betray humanity. It also showed that his succession to the throne wasn’t as smooth as the public thought it to be.
However, after pondering in silence for a moment, Luna helplessly said, “None.”
“Huh?”
Alice was momentarily stunned by Luna’s answer.
“There is no evidence in Etoria’s memories or thoughts showing that he has had any contact with the demons.”
Luna’s answer surprised Alice. She didn’t suspect that Luna was lying to her, either. After all, based on Luna’s previous behavior, it was unlikely she would try to cover for this bastard who “had dirty thoughts about Alice.”
Meanwhile, seeing the look of surprise and confusion on Alice’s face, Luna further elaborated, “He isn’t aware that there are demon spies inside the Royal Magic Tower, nor has he ever had any substantial contact with any demons. Also, in his knowledge, nothing is threatening his succession to the throne.”
This situation put Alice in a bind. She was astonished to learn that Etoria didn’t have any memories of his contact with demons.
Luna could be considered a half-Demon King. If she focused on reading a person’s memories, even a powerful mind magician couldn’t hide their memories from her. The only way Etoria could hide his memories from Luna was if he had used the Demon King’s Power to do so.
However, that evidently wasn’t possible. Even if Etoria happened to be the Demon King’s Power’s new host, there was no way he could grow as strong as Luna in such a short time. Not to mention, the Loli Goddess hadn’t mentioned anything about the Demon King’s Power finding a new host already. Hence, there was only one scenario Alice could think of to explain this situation.
“The one who contacted the demons wasn’t Etoria, but someone else.”
While massaging her temples, Alice let out a deep sigh and muttered, “What a nuisance these bastards are.”
