Chapter 02: Alexandre Vex Dante.

"Hmmm~ Hmmm~"

A man with golden hair and blue eyes walked through the bustling city streets, humming a carefree melody. By his side, a girl in a white dress with black hair and blue eyes looked around, clearly worried and unsure of what to do.

At this moment, she questioned why she was following this mercenary. After all, he had simply asked her to accompany him, and like a duckling following its mother, she followed him.

‘What should I do?’ Despite the fear, she was not foolish. She knew she couldn't survive in this place alone, but she also knew she couldn't trust anyone.

However, even with this understanding, she found herself completely without options at this moment. Everyone desired her because she was simply too delicious. Every Demon she encountered wanted a piece of her for themselves, like a serving of fried chicken.

Yes, everyone wanted her...

‘Except for this man?’ He didn't react to her presence like the other Demons. He didn't drool or attempt to tear off pieces of her body for a meal. In fact, he completely ignored her, and that was one of the reasons why she decided to follow him.

The other reason was that he had saved her...

‘Well, technically, he was paid to do it, but…’ Her thoughts were interrupted by the malicious whispers of the passersby around her.

"Look, it's that mercenary."

"Alexandre Vex Dante, The Milf Hunter."

"Who is that girl next to him? His daughter? She looks delicious..." A Demon said, with a bit of saliva dripping from his mouth.

Alice shuddered as she felt the Demons' gazes upon her and unconsciously moved closer to Dante.

"If she is his daughter, I wouldn't be surprised. After all, she is too talented for her age, being able to hide her Demon Form. I only learned to do that when I was 400 years old," another Demon commented.

"That's because you're dumb. Normal Demons take at least 200 years to learn that."

"What!? I'm not dumb!... I'm just a bit slower than the others."

"That's what people call dumb."

The two Demons stared at each other for a few seconds, and then the offended Demon attacked the other, starting a fight. However, the people around them simply ignored the incident as if it were normal and continued to focus on the man calmly walking through the streets.

"Someone with the Title of Milf Hunter should have some illegitimate children scattered around, right?" said a woman, clearly envious.

"Don't be stupid!"

"She must be his new lover!"

"...Is he a lolicon now? Did he change his Title?"

"You idiot! You're judging too early based on appearance. How long have you been in Hell? Don't you know that experienced Demons can choose any Human Form? In my opinion, she could be an old Demon disguising herself."

"She's too pure and tasty to be his daughter or too young to be his lover... Maybe she's his meal?"

"As far as I know, the Milf Hunter doesn't consume Demon women the way you all do. He is more focused on The Sin of Lust."

Listening to the whispers of the Demons as they looked at Dante, Alice thought:

'... Milf Hunter...?'

She didn't know where to begin to understand that strange Title, but it was undeniable that she was a little curious.

"What has this man done to earn that ridiculous title?" she wondered internally, unaware that she had vocalized her question.

"Hmm?" Dante stopped and looked at the girl.

"Which ones?"

"... Huh?" Surprised that she had spoken aloud and also by Dante's question, Alice asked, "You have more Titles!?"

"It's common for a mercenary to have one or two Titles. And since I'm a Rank B Demon, I'm famous!" He proudly thumped his chest.

"Right, people!?" Dante asked loudly, but the Demons around him simply turned their heads, not wanting to get involved with that man. They didn't want to become his victims, fearing for their own families.

"Tsk, tsunderes."

"Who the hell is a tsundere, you piece of shit!?" A tall, muscular Demon of two meters appeared in the crowd.

"Ohh!!" Dante's eyes lit up when he saw the man.

"It's you!"

"Yes, it's me!" He snorted proudly. As expected, he was famous.

'He's someone famous?' Alice thought curiously as she hid behind Dante.

"The son of that J-Cup woman."

Alice nearly stumbled upon hearing what Dante said.

'What kind of memory is that!?'

"...No!"

"My name is Jake! Jake! Don't forget that!"

"... Wait a sec, what did you say?" Jake looked at Dante incredulously.

"Poor guy, he fell victim to that damn mercenary." The crowd began to murmur.

"That's why I don't want to get involved with this man."

"Another mother fell into the clutches of this man..."

"Damn it, did you go after my mother!?"

"...N-No?" He turned his head and started whistling, but nothing came out. It was obvious that he was terrible at it.

"....." Alice was speechless.

'He obviously went after her! My God! Who is this Demon? What am I getting myself into?' Despite her expression remaining unchanged, she was freaking out inside.

"Liar!" The Demon clenched his fist and attacked Dante's face.

BOOOOOOOOOM!

An explosion occurred as the Demon's strong fist hit Dante's face.

"....." Silence hung around as nothing happened, and only a strong gust of wind was felt.

"...Hmm?" Realizing what had just happened, Dante looked at the Demon.

The Demon looked at Dante, confused.

Recalling the beautiful J-Cup breasted Demon, Dante decided to give some response to her son.

"Ouch, ouch, what a strong punch!" He touched his face while making a pained expression.

"He obviously didn't feel a thing." The crowd began to murmur even louder.

"Even though he's a hopeless degenerate, he's still a Rank B Demon."

"Why are you calling him a hopeless degenerate? I mean, he's a Demon. Wouldn't it be good if he were a degenerate?" A smaller Demon asked.

"Idiot, you don't understand, Dante is not an ordinary Demon." A larger Demon spoke.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

"He is utterly hopeless! He doesn't care if the woman is a God's Wife, an Angel, or whether the Demon is married or not! He has no limits! He has the biggest balls in Hell."

"Indeed, indeed. I've heard rumors that he even slept with Lucifer's Wife." Another passerby added.

"For Hell's sake! Even Lucifer himself? This man is completely crazy!"

"Seriously, what are the Factions thinking by letting this man roam free?"

"Don't they fear for the safety of their mothers?"

"Tsk, tsk, even if it's Dante, he wouldn't go after the families of the 5 Great Demon Clans or even the Demon King himself. It would be like courting death wearing panties, right?"

"......" The crowd fell silent.

"... Right?" The man asked again, with a strange expression.

Once again, only silence was heard around.

"... Hey! Say something!"

"... I mean, if it's Dante, I wouldn't doubt that he'd try to court Death and the Wives of the great families, especially if Death is a hot woman... He might even have a threesome with both women."

"Hmm, hmm."

The man looked incredulously at the crowd that nodded in unison, even though that wasn't his original question.

"......" Alice looked at all of this with an empty gaze.

‘What kind of fame does this man have!? Why are these Demons reacting like this?’ It was very different from what she had experienced in Abbadon City. Normally, the Demons would look at her as if she were a walking piece of meat, but when she was with Dante, they all ignored her and focused on the man.

Somehow, he drew a lot of attention, for better or for worse.

"... Somehow, I'm depressed..." Jake spoke in a depressive tone, with a red face, and crouched on the ground.

"Well, well, there's no need to be sad. You're a strong man! You punch like a weak woman, but it's okay! The problem isn't you; it's me!"

"...." Tears started to fall from the man's face, and the phrase "you punch like a weak woman" echoed in his mind on a loop.

Immediately, he stood up and began to run with his hand on his face, like a sad woman.

"........"

"Let's ignore that, alright?" Dante asked the crowd.

"Alright..."

"It's not like we've seen a tall, muscular Demon running away like a little girl."

"Yeah, we definitely didn't see that."

"Umu."

"Alright, alright, you can leave. Go back to work." Dante clapped his hands.

"Yes, we have to get back to work." The crowd began to disperse, although some still stayed to watch Dante.

"Tsk, I thought I would see something interesting. You need to improve your attempts at causing chaos, Dante!" Someone from the crowd complained.

"It's not like I'm trying to cause chaos. Chaos loves me." Dante snorted proudly.

"By the way, how's your job going?" He asked.

"It's going well, as well as any job in Abaddon City." The man grumbled.

"I understand you, my brother." Dante clapped him on the shoulder.

"If you understand, then stay away from my mother! To this day, she still talks about you!"

"That's impossible," Dante replied.

"Gahhh!" The man screamed in frustration.

"Dante, Dante!" A woman with beautiful horns on her head and black hair approached Dante.

"Not yet. I haven't found flowers yet," Dante replied.

"That's sad. I was expecting a new bouquet of flowers from you."

"Hahaha~, don't worry, when I get a contract in the Human World, I'll try to bring some for you."

The florist seductively winked at Dante: "Thank you, Dante!"

"....." Alice, who watched everything from a distance, couldn't help but be amazed. She didn't expect to witness that scene.

'Who is this man anyway?' Alice thought

"Dante, Dante."

"Yes, I'm Dante." He turned his face to the approaching male Demon.

"Is this little girl your new job?"

"Indeed, and it's a good job; that's why I accepted it."

"What's the mission's rank?"

"That's... confidential."

"........" The crowd around Dante fell into total silence.

"Well... it would be foolish if he told us about the job," someone from the crowd spoke.

"Right? He's not that stupid."

In a rather strange way, Alice thought Dante was quite popular.

...

Alice looked up and read the neon sign.

'Luminus Lounge... What a catchy name.'

Dante entered through the door, and the sound of the bell was heard. Alice quickly followed and entered as well.

"You're late, Dante." The mature and seductive voice of a woman resonated in the room.

"No, I'm not, Mavis," Dante spoke while pointing behind him.

"Hmm? It looks like you were successful."

"Of course, who do you think I am? I would never fail in such an easy mission," Dante said.

Mavis seductively laughed, "Of course, that's why I offered you the job."

Alice swallowed nervously as she saw the woman approaching her. The woman was the perfect description of sexy and mature, and, most importantly, she was tall! Alice felt very small in front of her.

Mavis was a woman of imposing presence, with a tall and elegant stature of 190 cm. Her long red hair, wild and untamable, formed lush curls, giving her an air of rebellion and sensuality. Each strand seemed to have a life of its own, dancing around her face with captivating movements.

Her skin was a perfect blend of chocolate tones, smooth and radiant like the sweet taste of cocoa. She exhibited an exotic and captivating beauty, with fine and striking features that seemed meticulously sculpted.

Mavis's body was a symphony of seductive curves where femininity and strength merged harmoniously. Her figure was gracefully sculpted, with a delicately defined waist and generous hips that swayed gently with each step. Her soft skin invited touch, revealing her irresistible sensuality.

But there was more to Mavis than just beauty. Her Succubus tail added an element of mystery and temptation. The appendage, delicately coiled and seductive, emanated an enigmatic aura that fascinated those fortunate enough to see it. It was a part of her Demonic Essence, a symbol of her captivating and alluring nature.

While her body exuded abundant femininity, Mavis also possessed surprising strength. Alice easily noticed this as she observed her well-toned muscles, most visible in her sculpted abdomen, displaying the perfect balance between softness and power. It was a unique combination that made her irresistible and formidable at the same time.

"Welcome to Luminus Lounge, Alice Celestia Evergreen, the place where you can find all kinds of services and, of course, have a drink if you want."

"Huh? This name, you know me..." Alice couldn't finish her question when she heard a sudden voice behind her.

"Yes, indeed! Luminus Lounge!"

"Kyaaa!" Alice jumped in fright upon hearing a voice from behind. When she turned around, she saw a man with messy black hair, green eyes, and an appearance as if he were undead.

The man approached her while muttering at a high speed.

"Luminus is a word derived from the Latin 'luminosus,' which means 'bright' or 'illuminated.' In this context, the term 'Luminus' was used to convey the idea of a well-lit environment where light is carefully used to create a welcoming atmosphere."

Alice started to take steps backward as the man's green eyes seemed to swirl like two black holes.

"Lounge is an English word that refers to a resting area or socializing space in an establishment, typically characterized by comfortable seating, a relaxed ambiance, and options for food and drink."

"Therefore, 'Luminus Lounge' can be interpreted as a name that suggests a cozy and elegant space, where lighting and ambiance have been carefully planned to provide a relaxing and sophisticated experience to customers..."

"Shut up, Aiden. You're being annoying!" Dante kicked the man, and he flew toward the wall, causing a loud crash. Even after such a strong impact, the wall showed no sign of damage.

"...Oof."

"... Ignore him. My mercenaries are quite exotic, some more than others. Aiden is an expert, but he's very attached to details," Mavis said.

"I'm not your mercenary, woman," Dante corrected as he drank a glass of whisky.

Mavis's sweet smile threatened to disappear, and visible veins were noticeable on her forehead. "You received the job from me. Therefore, you are my mercenary, Dante."

"I'm not anyone's mercenary." Dante put the glass on the bar table and started searching for something on the floor. Soon, he saw his bag and picked it up.

Dante opened the bag and pulled out a book with the title "Henrry Pothar". He opened the book and began to read:

“Dante is a free man... Dante is Free. Free Dante? Release the Free Dante? Huh... Where was I before? I don't remember where I left off the last time I read it.” Dante muttered.

Alice looked at the woman and saw that she was still smiling kindly. 'Am I imagining things?' she thought.

Dante closed the book. "Anyway, I've completed my mission. I want my payment."

"Listen when people are talking."

Hearing that tone of voice again from the woman. 'Yes, I definitely am not hearing things!' Alice moved further away from the woman.

"Payment..." Dante opened his hand as if asking for money.

Mavis looked at Dante's hand for several seconds, considering whether she should burn his hand or not. She spent a few seconds deciding what to do, and in the end, she decided not to burn the hand of one of her key mercenaries.

"... Unfortunately, your mission is not yet complete, Dante." She explained in a professional manner.

"Huh?"
