First Experience with Self-Brainwashing

"Herohero, you seem to be in a very good mood!"

"Stop teasing me, Naiyuan. I'm so nervous I can't even move right now."

In the hallway of the first floor, Naiyuan and Momonga walked side by side in the lead, followed by Sebas and Solution, who had arrived quickly after receiving the order.

As for Herohero, he was being held in Solution's arms, looking utterly defeated. His entire body had turned into a soft, limp puddle, draped over her two massive breasts.

The loving gaze she directed at him filled Herohero with despair. Whether before or after the transmigration, he had always been a virgin; how could he possibly handle such a stare? Right now, the Slime didn't dare to move at all.

"Just enjoy it. I won't hold what happened earlier against you. Just remember to treat me to a meal later."

Seeing Herohero sprawled across her chest, Naiyuan teased him via telepathy.

Although the guy looked reluctant, Naiyuan knew he was definitely having the time of his life inside. After all, when he was first picked up, this guy hadn't said a word, nor had he put up any resistance. He had just let it happen naturally. If Naiyuan were told there wasn't something shady going on, he wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death.

As for being two-faced, he had seen enough of that to last a lifetime.

"..."

Herohero didn't want to talk. He didn't want to do anything right now; he just wanted to lie there quietly like a salted fish.

He didn't care what Naiyuan thought. Just as the other had said, he was enjoying it, and he even felt a bit sleepy.

As the group walked through the corridor, Naiyuan saw that Herohero was getting drowsy, so he stopped chatting with him and started making small talk with Momonga instead.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

The corridor wasn't long, and Naiyuan and the others soon reached the exit.

As soon as they stepped outside, they were met by four figures rushing toward them from the distance.

It was Demiurge and his three subordinates.

"Greed, Wrath, Envy."

The three demons were all NPCs above level 80, the strongest among Demiurge's subordinates.

"We offer our humble welcome to the three Supreme Beings. We are honored beyond measure."

When the three demons saw Momonga and the others, they instantly dropped to one knee, their voices filled with excitement.

To them, the Supreme Beings were great existences rarely seen, usually only heard of through their master, the Floor Guardian Demiurge. They hadn't expected to see them here today, and they were overjoyed.

"Demiurge greets the two... three lords here. May I ask the purpose of your visit?"

Demiurge remained on one knee, asking with a hint of confusion.

At the same time, when he saw the Slime in Solution's arms, he paused for a moment, a smile tugging at the corner of his mouth. He turned his gaze toward Sebas, who was standing to the side, and gave him a look that said, "Well done."

Sebas did not respond. In truth, his own original plan had not even been implemented yet; this success was entirely an accident.

"Demiurge, we were just looking around casually. You don't need to concern yourself with it."

Momonga waved his hand as he spoke, simultaneously nodding toward the three demons kneeling to the side, acknowledging them in return.

"I see. As expected of the Supreme Being's profound foresight. I understand."

Demiurge immediately wore an expression that said "I understand," looking at the three of them with a face full of adoration.

Momonga: ??? (Understand what? Did I say something strange?)

Naiyuan: ??? (He can understand even this? Good grief, how is your brain wired?)

Herohero: ??? (Hm! What happened? Why is the guy in front of us looking at us with such adoration? What did I miss?)

"Ahem, very good, Demiurge. Even I must praise your wisdom."

Naiyuan looked at the slightly stunned Momonga, then stepped forward and spoke to Demiurge.

Although he didn't know what the other party had "understood" this time, it didn't matter. What mattered was that he just needed to put on an act of "you've done well."

"Thank you for your praise. I am still far from the wisdom of the Supreme Beings; this time, I was merely fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of the tip of the iceberg."

Demiurge said this with a hint of shame, but the tail swaying behind him betrayed that he was in a very good mood.

"Mm, then you may withdraw. Momonga, Herohero, and I have things to do."

Naiyuan nodded, signaling for the others to return to their original duties and not to worry about them.

"Might I be permitted a moment of selfishness? This subordinate wishes to remain by the side of the Supreme Beings. I would be eternally grateful."

Upon hearing Naiyuan's words, Demiurge did not choose to leave. Instead, he remained in a half-kneeling position and made a somewhat bold request to Naiyuan, hoping to be allowed to accompany them.

Demiurge kept his head fixed firmly on the ground. For him, this was an incredibly bold act—requesting that the Supreme Being grant his petition was something he would never have dared to imagine before.

But at the thought of the possibility that the three Supreme Beings might leave Nazarick, Demiurge still voiced his request.

Although the three Supreme Beings had Sebas and Solution with them, Demiurge still felt uneasy. He dared not gamble; he feared that the three Supreme Beings might, like his own creator, choose to abandon Nazarick and leave them forever.

"Then I grant you permission to accompany us."

"Thank you, Lord Naiyuan, for indulging this subordinate's selfishness. I am deeply grateful."

When Demiurge heard the agreement, he felt a weight instantly lift from his heart. He looked up at Naiyuan with a face full of gratitude.

"Mm. Momonga, we should get going."

"Ah?... Right."

Naiyuan tapped Momonga lightly to snap him out of his thoughts and spoke to him.

Momonga let out an instinctive sound after being interrupted, but he quickly adjusted his state and replied.

Although he hadn't figured out exactly what Demiurge had understood, Momonga didn't dwell on it. After all, seeing how serious Naiyuan looked when he answered the other party just now, he must have already known. With the intention of asking him privately later, Momonga didn't think much more about it.

Off to the side, Herohero watched this scene with a look of confusion. He soon gave up on thinking and continued to lie on top of that massive human heart.

"Forget about thinking; I'll just let Naiyuan and Momonga deal with the headache. I'm going back to sleep. Hmm, say what you will, but lying on this thing to sleep is truly comfortable. As expected of the NPC I created."

Herohero shifted into a more relaxed position and drifted back to sleep.

Solution, who was currently cradling him, wore a strange smile, gazing with adoration at Herohero as he slept on her human heart.

"This time, I will definitely not let you leave, Herohero-sama. We will be together forever."
