Chapter 218

Evan D. Sherden, Expanding his power. (2)

Evan took a break for two days with the Marquis, and other people then began working activity starting the next day. His priority was to build a guild house for the witches to stay in.

"A location close to the Dungeon Knights and the Marquis. The center of the dungeon city, so the price is crazy-expensive. Keep that in mind."

"Master Evan, it's an honor for you to pay so much attention to us."

"...Melonia?"

"Yes, Master Evan."

Evan looked at Melonia (130 years old), who was politely bowing her head to him while making subtle expressions.

"It's not necessary to show such politeness like that."

"No. As the body of a sinner who afflicted Master Evan in the West, I would like to start by changing my attitude to repay your grace."

"Is my mother that great?"

"If we don't, we di-....! Hmm!"

It seemed as if something very bloody was about to come out of her mouth. Evan looked at Melonia silently and beckoned her to finish off what she was about to say, but Melonia said nothing more. She just shook her head.

"Whoo, okay. Still, Melonia, you can act comfortably around me. As the representative of the witches, you must have authority."

"Can you say that to your mother later?"

"Okay."

"Woo...... Thank you. After all, you are an amazing man. If you want, you can join me tonight..."

"Isn't this why you keep getting scolded by my mother?"

In charge of the construction of the witches' guild house was, of course, Evan and the Brotherhood Corporation.

Although the witches may have lived with their original identity hidden, Evan had no intention of respecting their traditions, so the guild house was also decided to be a modern and mysterious design that secretly reveals the witch's personality.

The older witches were a little uncomfortable with it, but the young witches were pleased.

"Master Evan surely has a good eye. He's very sensible!"

"It's a monument of the moment when we stepped out into the world!"

"I mean, he has our backs, so no one will be able to touch us."

As a bonus, the witches stayed with the Marquis in the mansion while the construction was underway. The reason is extremely simple. This is because witches with strong personalities were extremely quiet while staying in the mansion.

Not quite, but they were always nervous.

"When will the construction finish?"

"Master Evan, can't we move into the guild house quickly?"

"I request you to please take me out of here, Young Master...!"

"What's the matter? Is there a ghost in our mansion?"

"At least ghosts can be killed!"

"No, you can't really kill it, though, can you?"

When the witches stayed in the mansion, it seemed that the first wife directly passed on the etiquette for living in the outside world.

Evan knew that witches lacked common sense, so he was willing to entrust his mother with the witches' common sense education. The witches' expressions when they found out that Redine was going to educate them was really worth a scene.

"Think about a guild name."

"A guild name... How about 'The Witch's Cradle'?"

"The Witch's Pot."

"The Broom Witch."

"I've decided. Let's go with The Witch's Temptation."

"You guys have no intention of concealing our identity, do you!?"

"What's new now?"

Eventually, after a fierce battle of the pride and honor of the elder witches and young witches, the guild's name was decided to be 'The Bloody Apple'. It was the result of the elder's victory.

Evan thought the name was still too witch-like, but he decided not to tackle them for this fact.

"Everyone, I'm excited about the future. This is Maybell, the co-president of the Brotherhood Corporation."

"Ah, aren't you the top representative we have to escort... Huh!? This woman's yin energy is no joke!?"

"What, I can feel the neatly refined and eerie energy from that woman... Is she a monster?"

"Who's a monster?"

"Ooomf!"

When they were staying at the mansion, they had a meeting and made a contract with Maybell.

The contract written by the witches and Evan was a contract that contained only the 'must-be-followed rules' and sealed by the power of the druid. And the contract for specific matters and compensation for the cooperation of 'The Bloody Apple' was prepared separately by Maybell.

"If this amount of power is attached to the escort force, there would be no need to hire other mercenaries, Master! Not only the witches but all the men were above the level of an intermediate explorer!"

"Does this completely solve the problem of the Menaton escort troops?"

"Yes, sir! If the Master signs only this contract here... Oh no, our wedding contract!"

Evan ripped the paper that Maybell put out without even looking at it properly. He had gotten so used to these tricks that he didn't even think of getting mad.

The witches watched him and said it was amazing to train monsters like that. Evan couldn't understand why the witches treated Maybell as a monster.

"The guild name has been decided, and the contract has been signed...... Don't play around forever, and get ready in the meantime."

Evan told the witches as he patted Maybell's head in tears. Melonia, the witch representative, stupidly asked.

"What are you talking about?"

"Prepare to enter the dungeon. Did you come to the dungeon city and make a guild and think about not entering any dungeons?"

"That means... Do I have to go in? No, I'm not saying I'm not going to look around at all, but becoming an explorer... I'm a little reluctant," said Melonia.

What the hell is this woman talking about now? She said confidently to Evan, who opened his eyes wide.

"To be honest, we don't like to be active! We hate troublesome things, and in the first place, the witch tribe lived hiding in the forest to avoid the interference of the royalties and maintain the pure witch lineage..."

"Hmm, right."

"Yes."

"That's right, Master Evan. We'll do whatever work you ask us, so I hope you don't interfere with our everyday life!"

"But if Master Evan said he'd stay with me for a night, I would willingly go!"

"Huh..."

Evan looked back at the witches who made embarrassing expressions when asked to enter the dungeon, and narrowed his eyes.

In this world, many people struggled to become strong but couldn't get stronger, while others didn't make an effort even if they wanted to get stronger.

Of course, Evan did not deny this type of attitude. If one were to take responsibility for their life, it was their freedom no matter how they live their life.

"Yes, if you want to fulfill the contract, you need to be strong in the dungeon, so don't make a fuss about it. I'll divide the groups, so move on. In the future, you only have one day off in a week."

"Whaaaa!"

The contract had bound them.

"Master Evan is worse than the Devil."

"But he's awesome...!"

"Yeah, I get that a lot."

The guild house was completed by dividing the witches and servants by level, mixing them appropriately to create a group of several individuals. Evan taught them how to complete the dungeon and prepare the necessary items to enter the dungeon. By the time they were ready, the construction of the guild house was completed.

The guild house of the Bloody Apple is a three-story mansion made of red bricks, and it is an image that resembles a witch's cowl hat that narrows toward the top. The witches' satisfaction was raised by recreating the witch's private rooms by securing a space down to the 3rd basement floor.

"It's really cool. If this is a civilization... the human world just might be okay."

"Humans aren't persecuting us even if we come out like this? Really?"

"Because we are in this city... And there is also Master Evan."

The witches looked at the completed guild house and expressed a sense of anxiety, but as Evan led them, they proclaimed the guild. It was the moment when the powerful minority elite group, Bloody Apple, which did not exist in Yo-Ma Great War Series 3, was officially put out.

"Really... Do we really have to go?"

"If this is the price for coming into the human world... Yes, I will do it."

"Will we be able to come back?"

"If you don't take the trap stairs on the third floor, you can come back, so don't make a fuss about it."

And finally, the day had come—the day when the witches enter the dungeon as a group.

"Wow, that's a group of beautiful women!"

"There are also men... Hmm, but there are only really pretty girls!"

"Woahaah, woww... Woah!"

Of course, the witches' march caught everyone's attention in Sherden. The men who were servants, and the male members of the current Bloody Apple, were fully armed with Evan's help, but they were not so noticeable compared to the witches' enchanting appearance.

"This is crazy. Those are all the Master Evan's concubines?"

"I heard that they aren't. I saw a poster in front of the guild house that he'd like to meet you if you are confident in your skills!"

"These women even established guilds!? They weren't just Harems?"

How many rumors spread in less than three weeks after the witches entered the dungeon city? Evan, who was leading the Bloody Apple, sighed.

"There are so many pedestrians."

"Yeah, I made rumors that you guys will enter the dungeon at this time. I wanted to show off your existence."

Evan responded naturally to Ctheasil's question. Default's eyes were wide open as if he was escorting Ctheasil.

"It's pretty burdensome. Are you saying that we will continue to be in a position to attract attention even in the future?

"What are you talking about, Default?"

Evan replied, narrowing his eyes, absurd at his question.

"If you are skilled, you have no choice but to attract attention. So standing out is the most effective marketing."

"...After all, I don't know what Master Evan is really thinking."

Default laughed. However, Evan was concerned about his armament. He was wearing only a specially processed black metal knuckle without any special weapons.

"Martial arts skill?"

"Yes, that's right. I have no skill in handling such weapons."

Evan knew he had a lot of aptitude for magic..... Indeed, was that why he used martial arts with magic? In other words, he was a 'Magician', a class that was impossible for Evan, who had no aptitude for magic.

It was a path that was not so much chosen except for players who wanted to play a certain concept. This was because there was a complex requirement of having magical aptitude but no physical status.... He remembered that it was a great class that was well balanced.

Anyhow, he was still the protagonist of Yo-Ma Great War Series 5.

"I don't know magic, but I think I can help with martial arts. Come to me when you're done clearing the dungeon."

"Woah, is Master Evan directly teaching me? It would be an honor!"

Default was noticeably delighted with Evan's offer. Ctheasil, who saw him like this, was slightly upset.

"Default, you just need to learn magic."

"You saw Master Evan's fighting skills, too, didn't you? It doesn't make sense to decline his offer!"

'Are you really jealous of him?' Evan laughed and stepped back. Now everyone in the group had entered the dungeon entrance.

"Melonia, wait a minute."

Melonia, the representative of the witches and the guild master of the Bloody Apple, led the witches to enter the dungeon but turned back at Evan's call. Evan delivered instructions in a whispering voice so that only she could hear him.

"Indeed, I will keep that in mind."

Melonia's eyes turned to Evan. As a witch with many skills, he was sure she would be able to fulfill Evan's request perfectly.

"Wait a minute. Evan, what happens in this case?"

"Huh? What case?"

However, the moment Evan brought his ear closer to Melonia, she kissed Evan's face while making a noise.

"Uh..."

"I received my commission."

Melonia laughed spitefully while saying so. As expected, Evan just laughed absurdly at the 130-year-old. However, the witches who saw the scene opened their eyes wide and flocked over to him.

"What, physical contact was okay!?"

"Then I want to do it!"

"I will kiss Master Evan too!"

Each of the witches flocked to kiss Evan, and the scene quickly became a mess. Even Belois, who was guarding Evan, was caught up in an unexpected situation.

Eventually, when the witches were satisfied with their commission, Evan's face was covered with kiss marks.

"We'll be back!"

"We should have done this much earlier!"

"Master Evan, let's move on to the next part when we come back!"

The witches wore refreshing expressions as they entered the dungeon. As Evan looked like he was caught in a typhoon, the bystanders who watched spoke to each other.

"So, they are indeed a harem."

"That's Master Evan! He can take care of what we can't do! I admire that!"

"Oh, it was a waste to come. Let's go back."

Since that day, no one would deny the rumors that all Bloody Apple guild members were Evan D. Sherden's Harem. It included the men, too.

Evan vowed to take revenge upon Melonia's return from the dungeon.
