Demon Lord Management Sim Game

After running away from the police, the six of us hid in an abandoned building. I deliberately ditched our stolen car to make it difficult for the authorities to find us.

While the others fell asleep just on the cardboard boxes laid out, Ayre looked out the window, observing the other empty houses around us.

"Are you disappointed, Ayre? Nothing special here?" I've lined the shapeshifter general. "Well, it's still on the outskirts of town. If we continue east, you'll see those magnificent buildings I told you about."

She looked at me. "To be honest, the prison building and the vehicle we're driving are already very impressive."

I chuckled, but it was only for a second. "Too bad, I have a lot to show you all, but we must quickly perform the ritual to return to that world."

Ayre was silent for a moment. "Unfortunately, it's not that easy, my lord."

"Huh?" I frowned. "What do you mean?"

"The waves from within this world keep magic from working properly. There might be some I can use, like my elemental magic and Phisovia's hair attacks. But as for this ritual, I'm not sure, my lord…. Sorry."

I rubbed my face, trying not to show my panic. "Don't you have any other ideas?"

The shapeshifter general closed her eyes. "It's not that we can't return to that world. But we have to find a suitable place that's friendly to magic. We might have to travel around this world to find it…. And…."

She choked and looked away. From her expression, I can deduce one thing. "And maybe that place doesn't exist in this world?"

With an unusually stiff movement, she nodded.

I clenched my fists tightly. "Have you consulted Doc about this? Maybe he has other insights?"

The shapeshifter general looked at the doctor, who was not asleep but was curled up leaning against a pillar. Without hearing it from Ayre, I already knew the answer he would give.

"She doesn't have any other solution either, right?" I hissed.

One nod from Ayre was enough to make my heart beat soar. The happiness that had arisen from finally being able to return to that world was now gone.

Is there no other way? Isn't there someone with high expertise in other magic that we can ask? Should we have to look for a wizard in this world? Hell, that might be even more difficult than finding the right location to perform the ritual.

Wait.

"There's someone with high magical abilities we can ask, Ayre." I approached her.

She frowned. "In this world? I doubt there will be magicians who can thrive here….."

She choked again, and her eyes widened.

"He doesn't belong in this world, but you brought him here."

"Fergus…." She gulped. "Is that a wise thing?"

"What do you think?" I shrugged. "As long as we don't give him too much energy or a body, I don't think he's a threat."

"You're right….." Ayre opened a small pocket dimension portal, then a skull came out of that thing. "I'll try to get rid of the nightmare sequence in his mind."

The shapeshifter general touched her shining right hand to that skull. It didn't take long for that thing to make a sound.

"Mamaaa!!! Don't do this to me!!! I beg you!!! I will be a good boy!!! You shouldn't do this to me!!!"

He kept screaming like crazy, triggering the others to wake up. I grabbed Fergus' skull and snapped at him. "Shut up! Or I'll put you in that nightmare again!"

The dark magus was silent for a moment. "This soul…. Are you Vorn? But your face is different."

Ayre and I exchanged glances.

"Where is this?" Fergus continued. "Why is this place so different from what I'm used to?"

"We are in another dimension," I answered him.

"Huh?" The dark magus fell silent again. "Don't tell me you succeeded in performing interdimensional transportation magic."

Ayre shrugged. "That's how it is."

Fergus laughed. "How funny! You think I'd believe it! I…"

"Catch." I threw that skull at Emily.

"Hey! How dare…."

The supreme undead caught that thing and threw it at me again.

"Stop it! All right, I believe in you!"

Emily and I are still playing fetch with Fergus' skull.

"We just wanted to ask if you could find a place that could be used for a major magic ritual in this place," I explained. "And answer correctly, or we'll give you more nightmares. Don't be an asshole."

"Not that again, please! I can't take it anymore!" Fergus sounded like he was about to cry. "I will obey your orders! Please stop this!!!"

I caught that thing and looked at his face. "So, can you do it?"

"Wait a moment." He sighed. "I need time."

"Why did you wake him up?" Phisovia walked up to me. "We should just let him suffer."

"I wouldn't want to do it if we didn't need him," I responded.

"Can't you hear me? I need to concentrate. So, be quiet." The dark magus snorted.

Even though I resented him for his behavior, I motioned to my ladies to be quiet. This is a crucial moment.

Minutes passed, and I was getting impatient because he never spoke again. "You're not playing me, are you…."

"East." He finally said. "I can sense that there is an area suitable for magic."

"We better get him into the pocket dimension again," Emily suggested. "I can't stand his behavior."

The dark magus laughed again. "You have to keep me! Only I can show the way there and confirm it!"

I brought his face closer to mine. "I hope you're not lying about this."

"Why would I do that." A bitter chuckle left his mouth. "I don't have anything anymore… By the way, why did you ask me to do that?"

"To return using the interdimensional transportation ritual," Ayre responded, and before Fergus could speak again, Ayre continued. "It doesn't matter if you don't believe me. Just carry out our orders. You already know the consequences, right?"

For the third time, Fergus snorted. "Alright, alright, it's up to you. I'll do it."

"We will travel tomorrow morning." I briefed my women. "So, let's get some sleep."
