"Grrr... Now, how do I find them?"

The Demon God, who had actually arrived in the human world, grit her teeth while looking out over the plains of the wasteland.

Normally, she had information to do with anything and everything relating to demon kind, from the lowest minion to the demon emperor. But when the Demon King abandoned her blessing and accepted one from another god, she could no longer track him.

"Of all the countless years I've been a god, something as ridiculous as this, is a first..."

Thinking about that Demon King, an endless rage surged through her again, but her anger quickly turned to curiosity.

"Playing around with a hero, does things like this happen when heros meet demon kings?" (1)

Thousands? Tens of thousands?

She couldn't even remember how long she'd lived.

The only really special thing that had happened in her life was the Heaven-Demon wars after all. But even among the multiple wars, she had never been shocked to the extent she was now.

"It was the capital of some empire... Urgh..."

Because she could see anyone with her blessing, the times where she remembered something exactly was rare.

It was then.

"Oi, you crazy bitch!"

With a flash of light, the Goddess of Light, Raelle, appeared and started yelling at her.

"Hmph. I knew you'd show up if I did."

Looking on her enraged counterpart, the demon goddess simply made a neutral expression as if nothing was wrong at all.

"Are you insane? The Demon God coming over to the human world?"

Just as Raelle spat those words out, from another light identical to the one she had come out of herself, the Sermir, Goddess of Love and Benevolence, appeared.

"Perfect timing!"

The Demon God, who cared not one whit about Raelle's words, rushed over upon seeing Sermir appear.

"Oh, hello-kyak!"

Our innocent Sermir politely greeted the Demon God, knowing she was of a superior rank... And the Demon God promptly grabbed her head and shook her about.

"This bitch! You dare lay a hand on my demon king!"

"Kyak! It hurts, it hurts!"

It looked like just a catfight with one side being shaken around by the hair, but it was important to note that one of those involved was the Demon God.

"Oi, what are you doing to my daughter!"

"Daughter! If that's how you want it, then your daughter was the one that wagged her tail at my son!"

Looking on at Sermir taking a beating, Raelle also grabbed a fistful of the Demon God's hair, and at that, the demon god let go of Sermir to concentrate on the new foe and grabbed Raelle's hair in turn.

"Let go!"

"Says the one that grabbed first!"

"Iiieet?!"

"Fight me!"

As the two highest goddesses in this world began their incredible combat(?) Sermir managed to speak, holding onto her still-hurting head.
