CHAPTER 149: CHAPTER 148 - HERMIONE OLD PAST

"Ghost of Narzik, huh?"

"It’s been a long time since I heard such a horrible nickname."

"Did you know about this, Hermione?"

Inside the black hole’s nearly destroyed domain, I saw Hermione’s cold demeanor staring at the black hole with hatred.

Sting!!

As I looked at Hermione’s cold and hateful expression on the black hole in front of her, I could see the expression on the face of someone I knew in the past.

Hermione’s words questioning whether I was a reincarnator or a transmigrator echoed in my head.

"I see now, you are a resident of the world of Narzik who was accidentally possess into a new body. Seeing you calm like this and calling me... as my old maid. Should I guess about who you were in your past life, Hermione?"

Several clues about Hermione’s identity were coming into my head like puzzle pieces that were almost forming a picture. There were only a few pieces left, and I had to find them to discover the true identity of Hermione, who had been my maid in a past life.

"I do know about the Maid Order’s abilities, and Master Weiss doesn’t need to guess my old identity."

"I will introduce myself once again to Master Weiss to celebrate this wonderful reunion with my old Master."

"Master Weiss, it’s nice to meet you back in this new life. I was someone you picked up, you raised, and became a Maid that you choose to manage some pesky Demon race territory."

"U-Umm... maybe this will sound funny. You raised me well until the end of my life, Papa."

Stab...

Stab...

I felt like an knives stabbing in my chest.

This unusual pain felt warm, and I closed my eyes to relive the flashback of my old life.

The territory of the Demon race, who difficult to manage...

Someone I picked up...

Someone I raised for...

Even the distinctive tone of voice that called me Papa in a flirtatious and teasing tone. There was only one Maid who matched Hermione’s past identity.

"Please stop calling me Papa, Ane Ima."

"It doesn’t suit your body as a mature woman like that."

"Well, I was surprised by this reunion. I hope you don’t get too hung up on your past life and live your life as Dontol Xu Hermione properly."

My head was flooded with memories of my past life, when I picked up a demon girl abandoned on the streets of the Demon Kingdom’s capital. Since I was only a human with free time and humanity, I adopted Ane Ima as my adopted daughter.

The fast-growing Demon race has made Ane Ima a talented adopted daughter who became a Noble Maid. With the proper guidance of other Noble Maids, Ane Ima excels in matters of administration and royal governance.

Only a few years... as my lovely adopted daughter, she became furious at not receiving the love and affection, who I gave to my maids. Eventually, Ane Ima requested a Master-Maid contract with me and relinquished her status as my adopted daughter.

My life as a parent ended quickly after Ane Ima grew up, and the civil war in the Demon Kingdom came to an end. To control the situation in a powerless kingdom, I placed Ane Ima in charge of the Demon Kingdom’s powerless territory.

Long story short, it was the right decision and made Ane Ima a Demon Queen who can solve every problem gracefully and elegantly, just like a Demon Queen who can see the future with just one glance.

"Of course, Papa."

"I’ve been living as Dontol Xu Hermione for quite long time."

"Unlike what Papa experienced, I seem to be in... a transmigration phase that involves possessing the body of a dead woman."

"Luckily, I managed to live and survive with a dying body."

Without stopping the flood of magical energy from her magic core, Hermione tried to break the domain of the black hole that she hated so much.

"Well, I’m glad you survived this far," I said, pulling on her witch’s hat to stop her anger.

Slush...

"P-Papa?"

The moment I pulled off her witch hat and saw Hermione’s face clearly, my eyes were suddenly struck by a memory of a girl from the Demon race who grew up in the right environment and saw me as her parent.

"Please calm down a bit, I don’t want you to ruin our reunion with this heart-touching bringer of doom," I said while trying to calm Hermione, who was still upset and angry with the black hole in front of her.

My words seemed to be well received by Hermione, causing her to stop the surge of magic that was breaking the black hole’s domain.

"Okay, I’ll obey Papa’s words," Hermione replied, remaining calm after releasing her immense magical energy.

"And stop calling me, Papa."

"I’ll not stop calling you Papa, after I get out of this annoying Goddess’ domain."

"Why do you insist on calling me Papa, even though you’re used to calling me Master Weiss before?"

"Papa, a daughter will always be her father’s daughter! Even if the daughter has become a mature woman or possess another body... and so on!"

"Uh, huh, says whatever you want. I’ll do whatever you want for now," I gave in to Ane Ima’s insistence on calling me Papa.

"Fufu~ this is a great opportunity to fulfill my father complex fetish that I haven’t felt in a long time," Hermione murmured with a wide smile on her face and a faint whisper in her voice.

I heard her faint mumbling voice clearly.

Memories of Ane Ima began to form clearly in my head.

The missing puzzle pieces have now formed an identity that I know as Ane Ima, my adopted daughter, who is originally from the Demon race and formed a Master-Maid contract with me when she became an adult.

As far as I know, she has an annoying father complex and keeps forcing me to do night service with her all the time. Even though we are not related by blood, I have raised Ane Ima well and properly as her adoptive parent.

But for this life, we don’t have that kind of relationship, and it feels a bit strange for a sage from another world to suddenly call me Papa.

It’s like Hermione wants to play around and satisfying her unique fetish desires.

"Father complex, huh?"

"Still have the same fetish even after transmigrating into a new body."

I muttered in a weak tone after understanding the situation that Ane Ima had experienced.

"By the way, how did you manage to transmigrate and possess Dontol Xu Hermione’s body?" I asked Hermione after she calmed down.

"Ahhh... that happened after Papa got the nickname Ghost of Narzik and became a public enemy for all the people in the Narzik World," replied Hermione while adjusting the position of her witch hat that I had pulled earlier.

"At that moment, all the people in the Demon Kingdom are aware of what Papa is doing... challenging a Goddess who is slowly destroying the Narzik World," Hermione continued, glancing at the black hole with a vengeful look in her eyes.

"Well, it was a dark time when the whole world became my enemy just to create a magical artifact that could bind a black hole... I mean the Goddess like this," I replied while correcting some of my words so that Hermione could understand.

"I knew Papa was doing something... justified by became a public enemy... I was too weak to see it until end. So I cast a secret and forbidden spell from one of the Demon Kings that could switch bodies. Basically... I died to escape and avoid fighting my father. I didn’t want to be an enemy of my own father," Hermione said while sticking her tongue out at me as if teasing me about her mischief in her past life.

"That’s why the Demon Kingdom’s territory fell into chaos again after the Demon Queen died, huh?" I muttered after knowing the answer after so long.

Caress...

Caress...

I gave Hermione a gentle touch on the cheek after telling her about the events of her past life.

"My naughty daughter, you caused me trouble after the whole world became my enemy and I thought your death was caused by civil rebellion. It turns out you ran away to change bodies into Dontol Xu Hermione," while stroking her soft cheeks, I pulled as if pinching her.

Squuiisshh...

Squuiisshh...

"U-Ummm, Papa?" Hermione tried to endure the pain of the pinch I was doing.

"Well, at least you’re okay after Narzik’s World was destroyed and devoured by the black hole."

"I-I’m sorry... did I make the wrong decision?"

"Not really, after all, I was the one who killed most of the people in the Narzik World before the black hole devoured the Narzik World without a trace. Killing you in the Narzik World would be painful for me, and I feel grateful that you died early."

"Papa... you really are as cruel as the rumors say. Even the nickname Ghost Of Narzik is still too kind for you."

"I killed the entire population of Narzik World after casting a reincarnation spell on all of its inhabitants. An ancient magic spell written on the walls of the unknown and secret dungeon. The requirement for an individual to be reincarnated is to be killed. So, there’s a strong reason why I have to kill all of Narzik World’s inhabitants before the black hole devours Narzik World, you know," I said in a calm tone and lamented the dark times I had experienced as a Master in a world that was about to experience an apocalypse.

I stopped pinching Hermione’s cheeks and glanced at the black hole that was waiting quietly.

The reality of her nearly destroyed domain has been restored, and I am still inside her domain along with Hermione.

Caress...

Caress...

Hermione suddenly stroked my hair.

"It was a really tough time, Ghost Of Narzik," Hermione said, smiling gently at me.

Suuusshh...

Booiinngg...

Hermione suddenly pulled my body and placed my face in the cleavage of her breasts.

"Papa, you have struggled hard in your past life and seem to have achieved your goals."

"I’m really happy to have a great father like this."

"Even though I am currently Dontol Xu Hermione, I will still consider Master Weiss as my own father at certain times."

Snip...

Snip...

As my face was in the cleavage of her large breasts, I could feel Hermione’s hand moving as she unbuttoned her robes.

"Fufu~ I’m really lucky..."

"I wasn’t very useful in my past life."

"Now I am much more useful... because I am one of the sages from another world!"

"Please use me to fulfill your every purpose in this world, Papa~"
