I Became the Demon King of Lust

As the porter team leader said this, his eyes were sparkling as if he was bragging about himself.

I couldn't help shaking my head with a bitter smile when I said this, but then I turned back to look in the direction that the beautiful blue haired girl had walked off in.

At the same time, there was a faint sparkle that appeared in my eyes as well.

Wasn't this the target that I was looking for?

This was the main reason that I had come to work as a porter in the first place.

It did allow me to make money while hiding myself, but the real reason was that I wanted to find some famous and powerful Awakeners. That was why I had chosen to work as a porter for a guild instead of just as a general porter.

Now that I found the perfect target, shouldn't it be time to put my plan into action?

I needed to find some way to approach this Ice Princess and slowly use my Hypnosis on her.

Of course, I was also worried that it might not work, but that was something for me to deal with later. For now, I needed to find some way of approaching her in the first place.

As this thought passed through my mind, I couldn't help already imagining what it would be like to have a B Ranker or a possible A Ranker subordinate in the future.

When that time came, wouldn't I be untouchable?

…

A week later.

I still hadn't found a chance to approach the Ice Princess.

I had thought that I would be able to find some chance to talk to the Ice Princess by working here. I thought that I would eventually be assigned to a porter job for the Ice Princess, but that didn't seem to be the case at all.

After all, there was a large difference in status between the two of us.

The Ice Princess had her own personal porters assigned to her by the guild and I was nothing more than a general porter that did everything.

So even if we worked in the same place, we had no chance of ever meeting.

During lunch break, I couldn't help feeling more and more frustrated by this situation.

I was even contemplating quitting since there was no longer a need for me to hide out like this and I had made quite a bit of money from just these few days of work.

Speaking of which, I really had to appreciate the amount of money porters were paid. There was a reason why people took this job even with the disdain and danger that came with it.

The money paid really was something else.

I had other plans that I wanted to enact, so staying here as a porter definitely wasn't something that I could keep doing.

But while I was thinking this over, the team leader suddenly walked over to our group with a distraught look on his face.

When the other porters noticed this, especially the veteran porters on our team, they could already guess what was going to happen.

The team leader stood in front of all of us and suddenly gave a sigh before saying, "I have some bad news."

As they had expected, it was indeed bad news.

But they braced themselves and waited to see what it would be.

The team leader gave another sigh before saying, "They want us to send one of our porters over to help with an expedition."

The moment that the team heard this, they all revealed looks of despair.

After all, this was no different from a death sentence.

Seeing that everyone had looks of despair on their faces and not a single person said anything, the porter team leader didn't blame them. After all, he knew why they were feeling this way.

The expedition was a trip into the break zone with the Awakeners to hold things for them.

That meant heading right into the danger zone instead of working outside of it.

So he understood why not a single one of them wanted to go.

But I raised my hand and asked, "Uh, do we know which Awakener we'll be going in with?"

When I asked this, I suddenly became the center of attention as everyone looked at me with strange looks. Even the team leader couldn't help looking at me with a strange look.

But he still said, "It's the Ice Princess."

The moment he said this, everyone's expression sank once more.

After all, if it was the Ice Princess, there was no doubt that they would be heading somewhere dangerous. This was even worse than they thought it would be.

The team leader didn't keep them in suspense anymore and said, "One of the Ice Princess' porter was injured on her last trip, so she needs a new one. We were the unlucky ones that were chosen to send someone her way."

Everyone just revealed bitter looks on their faces when they heard this.

Since they had been 'chosen',  there was nothing that they could do about it since this was out of all the porter teams out there, so they could only blame their bad luck for being chosen.

But that didn't mean that any of them wanted to volunteer for this job…

That is except for me.

When I heard that it was working for the Ice Princess, my eyes couldn't help lighting up.

After all, wasn't this the opportunity that I was looking for?

I had been trying to find a way to approach the Ice Princess all this time, but the guard around her was just too strong that I had never been able to talk to her.

Now that this golden opportunity had fallen down in front of me, would I really let it go?

So I quickly raised my hand before anyone else could and said, "I want to volunteer for this task! I'll go with them on the expedition!"

There was only silence that followed.
