Hey everyone, Astaroth here. I don't actually have many memories of my life on Earth, since any unnecessary memories are erased from a Hero's mind upon being summoned, in order to prevent them from having any attachments to Earth. My family, my friends, a girlfriend... I might've had them, but I can't remember at all. Apparently, knowledge about religion and about fantasy worlds and video games was deemed 'useful', though.
In any case, where was I? Ah, yes. With a 'crack', the transformation began. The crackling sounds of bones being rearranged and the flesh-like sounds of muscles and other tissue being added, removed and changed resounded through the chamber. Honestly, it sounded quite- no, very painful. As the transformation had begun, I placed the Dark Goddess's Scriptures back into my [Storage].
"Will... Will he be, be okay?", Evyna asked with an uneasy expression on her face. "It sounds quite, uh, quite painful."
Shaking my head, I answered her question: "There is no need to worry. He lost consciousness just before the transformation began, and he will regain it just after it ends."
"Ah, I, I see", she responded. "Is, is it okay for you to, to turn away like, like that?"
"The transformation is out of my hands from this point", I answered. "You all are also free to stop pouring magic power any time you like", I continued, and the moment the words left my mouth, all five of the Demon Generals stopped immediately.
"Maaan, that was tirin'. Glad that's over", Lilith said, yawning without even putting a hand to her mouth and stretching her body.
"Please do cover your mouth when you yawn, Lilith. It is unladylike if you do not", Charlotte admonished her, almost like an older sister, even though she was several sizes smaller than Lilith in various ways.
"Went well? Navillus is glad!", Navillus said, jiggling with... some kind of emotion. A slime's body language was difficult to understand, and this did not change when it became a higher ranking monster.
"Master, I still haven't had enough yet!", Davna told me after approaching, like a child who still wanted to play. Meanwhile, Tempest silently looked towards me with pleading eyes.
"Davna, go play with the soldiers at the training ground", I decided. "Tempest, go work on that machine", I continued, Tempest's desires being clear as day.
"Yay! I can play until I'm satisfied!", Davna shouted, hurriedly sprinting out the door. The soldiers would probably despair if they heard these words, but that wasn't my problem. Tempest, on the other hand, simply nodded repeatedly before sprinting out in a way not dissimilar to Davna, moments earlier. Even though she was the tallest, whether she was the most mature out of my Demon Generals was questionable.
"Master, I'm goin' to bed", Lilith told me before simply walking out the door.
"Ah, wait, you! Master, I am heading out as well", Charlotte said, afterwards chasing after Lilith. Truly like an older sister.
"Navillus is going out to eat!", Navillus announced before 'walking' out the room. You couldn't really call her action walking, but there's honestly no better word.
"I, uh, I... What should I do?", Evyna asked. "I wasn't that, that close with him, so I'm not, not really interested, so..."
"Then", I said, and snapped my fingers. The moment I did so, through the wall floated a spectral form in the shape of a young maid. The ghost bowed to me, straightened up and tilted her head, awaiting orders. "Guide her to a guest room", I instructed the ghost, in response to which she bowed, said "Please follow me" and left. Evyna followed her without objections. Once I was sure she was out of earshot, I faced up to above the big magic circle and called out.
