The Golden Experience Point [Part 1]

Chapter 130: "Cat Hag"

"──So that's how I was reincarnated as the Demon Lord. And then..."

"By the way, do you still have it? That 'Greater-something' item."

I think to myself that I am not as good as Lyra, but I don't like to be talked down either.

I replied, somewhat miffed.

With a somewhat annoyed tone, I answered, "I have it, but I won't give it to you if you don't listen to the story."

"If I listen, will you give it to me!? I thought there would be more outrageous conditions! Well... I've struggled a lot to get the 'Blue Blood'. It's a complete top-level item..."

I know how much she struggled to get it because I've been told that long story. However, it doesn't seem like she struggled as much as she claims. It might be due to the way she talks. Besides, it's hard to imagine Lyra going through any hardships.

"I have it, but would you use it? By the way, how much experience points do you have left now? If a Noble Human is considered equal to a High Elf, using a Greater Philosopher's Stone probably requires four-digit experience points."

If she's going to use it anyway, there's a hidden agenda for the rare item. I want to acquire the skill that complements the divine oracle and test it later, either on myself or one of my subordinates.

I don't know what race Lyra will become, but considering that the princess she [Subordinated] was a Noble Human, it's likely to be a legitimate reincarnation from a human. If it's not an irregular route like the Dark Elf in the Elf race, letting her continue reincarnating should make her a race close to the Spirit Lord.

If she has a Divine Oracle skill, we might know the moment, and if so, we can also test that skill.

"Four-digit experience points!? Eh? How much did the Demon Lord demand?"

"3000."

"So high! Are you sure you're not being swindled? Are you okay?"

Who would scam me like that, and for what reason?

"By the way, the World Tree demanded 5000, and there are two others on whom I spent 1000 each, and one more who took 3000."

"What did you do to earn so much?"

"Attraction management and stuff. Until it gained popularity, I did small things in a farm, but it became quite popular after the misunderstanding about the beginner-friendly official service spread."

I only found out about the misunderstanding later.

"I think I'll take state management seriously on this one."

"Well, let me know when you save up. I'll give it to you at a discount. So, after I become the Demon Lord..."

I talked about the announcements of Rare being a <Special Being of Calamity>, and others like Sugaru also becoming <Beings of Calamity>. I also spoke about the fact that there would be no world announcements about the characters under my control.

"In case something bad is born from forces other than us, we want to have skills like oracles and their counterparts."

"That's a good idea. I heard it from the priest at Hugelcup — was it the Head Priest? They mentioned something about being revealed by a divine oracle."

I'm not sure how high the rank of Head Priest is, but if we can get that person, it would be quick.

"Hey, Lyra, about that person..."

"No, wait, Rare-chan. Let's make the Archbishop of the Holy Church of this country our subordinate. Then, let's make Rare-chan believe in it. I'll join the faith too."
