The Elf Saint is a NEET, so I Forced Her to Work in Another World

Overlord (Part 2)

During the lull in the discussion, Seirna approached her peers, ostensibly to convince them about the threat she perceived. I thought of coming to the Overseer Saint's aid in negotiating with Maddie, Ruro, and Natasha, but someone pulled me away from them. It was Ursura and the Prince Hurion (Lady Noir in disguise).

"We know we can't convince you to stop from implementing your 'suicidal' invasion," the beastman queen began. "That's why I'll talk to you now about what we can do to keep you safe."

I was about to say something when the Prince Hurion cut me off. "And you can't refuse it, Sir," she told me. "If I have to get on my knees and beg, I'll do it. Don't refuse our help."

"What do you have in mind?"

"We agreed to send contingents to guard you," Ursura revealed. "I mean, not 'guard' as in to restrict your movements, but to shield you from those who'd try to kill you. The demon president will also send you volunteers from the Jäger regiment."

"I'm sure they'd love to fight for their old commander once again," the Prince Hurion added.

I paused for a bit to think about what they proposed. Well, as long as the beastman and demon contingents were small, I don't think it could affect the perception of our forces by the elvish population of Cherwoods. Besides, I could use these guys to help me in training the fledgling invasion force, maybe even speed up their training, so we could launch the invasion at the soonest possible moment.

And these ladies won't stop until I give my consent...

"Alright, thank you for your help guys," I conceded.

"You're pretty easy to convince now," the demon president commented. "What happened?"

"Well, I'd like to move on to the actual recruitment and training of the soldiers, not prolong the arguments," I pointed out. "Lady Seirna's concerns are well-founded; I mean, you guys know I fought the Seductress before, right? We have the same experiences."

The beastman queen and the Prince Hurion exchanged glances.

"That's why I can't cancel this step in my plan; I have to fight the Seductress sometime soon and try to defeat her."

"Heh, big talk for some mortal like you," Ursura quipped. "If the saints can't defeat that fucker, what makes you think you will? Haven't you learned your lesson in Cherflammen?"

"Eh, no worries," I winked at her. "I got something in mind..."

***The private confines of the Saint's Tree Palace Complex...***

Sitting upon the throne of the Elf Saint was the elf warrior and member of Her Holiness' Life Guards, the Lord Gerard of Yusave...at least, that's what it looked like from any passers-by. However, deep within his mind, it was another person who controlled his body...it was no other than the Seductress herself, feeding on what remained of the life essences of the former maids and guards of that place.

As she savored every life force she sucked out of her unwilling victims, the creature from the Void failed to notice a figure emerge before her. The individual was clad in a dark cloak, face covered in a black, metallic mask, and carried a sword as long as his height behind him.

"No matter how much I watch you feed, I can never get used to how disgusting you look," the figure spoke as he approached the monster, which briefly jolted her.

"Ah, my old nemesis..." the Seductress greeted him with a smile. "It's been a while since I last saw you, Black God. How have you been?"

"Never been better!" he flexed his fingers. "And more eager to kill you than before."
