Oh boy. Here I go playing Civ again. Which reminds me, I might actually do a game based on the Belzerg v Demon situation, just to see what some of the countries might do if Genghis Khan joined up with Augustus and started talking trade in things other than soldiers. I know for a fact that Bizmarck would start to build up his armies on the spot I imagine.

Well I got carried away, anyways let's get on with it. Also at the same time that I upload this I'll be uploading a rewrite to chapter 1 of this story. It was a request from cloudpanda961 one of my reviewers and I thought it would be for the best.

After a good night's sleep the party got together for breakfast, each of us ready to start the day and prepare for the night. Iris, Darkness, and YunYun couldn't stick around for long though. Each of them went to speak to their respective fathers for permission to negotiate on behalf of each of their factions.

I wished them luck and went to the guildhall to do my own business along with All Might and the goddess trio. Megumin chose to sleep in for the day since we were going to stay up for quite a bit, and finally Pandora was still in the basement, she planned to wake up an hour before we were to leave.

Guildhall

"And that's why we need you to help negotiate peace as a representative of the whole Adventurer's Guild." I finished my explanation as Luna predictably downed about four shots of what I could only assume was whiskey. Honestly she took it better than I would have a few months ago.

"Ok...Ok I think I'm good. Give me a few hours I need to contact the higher ups." Luna calmed down before heading towards her office, which I have no doubt had some kind of communication magic that she'd use to speak with whatever executives own the guild. I really should get to know the organization better after we make peace.

"Should we invite Wiz-san and Vanir-san as well? They are former members of the enemy army so bringing them might further cement your position young Midoriya." All Might asked, slightly amused with Luna's reaction to essentially being chosen as one of her country's representatives.

"Good idea, we might as well include Sylvia-san as well, I'll teleport there later today, for now let's head for Wiz-chan's shop for supplies along with those two." Peace talks or not it was best to prepare for the worst case scenario. We were already good on holy water and such but some anti-necrotic ointment could come in handy.

Wiz's Shop

"I'M IN! Meeting my former employer as an ally of his former enemy. Watching two young, mostly inexperienced girls play at being diplomats for a whole country! Getting a chance to mess with the rest of the gods! My young friend Izuku-kun you have given me the opportunity of a lifetime!" So yeah, no need to say that Vanir was quite hyped up.

"A-are you sure I should be there Izuku-kun? I wouldn't want to mess up such an important event." She seemed worried, though I just gave her a blank look and then pointed at Vanir...Yeah if anyone was going to cause problems I doubted it would be Wiz.

"R-right. If you think it would be for the best then I'll join you. To be completely honest I'd like to thank the Demon King for the chance he gave me, even if it was mostly just a pact of neutrality. I owe him at least that much." Most human kingdoms wouldn't exactly accept a lich, his agreement to keep her identity secret in exchange for holding up his barrier was rather generous.

My face quickly grew a frown before it slowly turned into a soft smile. "Of course, and don't worry about having to keep that secret for much longer. One of the points the king and I agree on is that regardless of race everyone should be given a fair chance." She returned my smile along with a quick hug before we both went our separate ways, both needing to prepare for the night.

Finally I had to go to a place I never thought I'd visit. A place that my companions wasted no time in teasing me about. "Ara ara Izuku-kun. Taking us ladies to a place like this. Have you no shame?" Eris teased me while All Might, Aqua and Wolbach just gave me confused stares.

"Look these guys have been here since before we took over the city so it only seems right that we give them the option to join in on the peace talks. Besides, having a succubus on our side might help us show that we're serious about supporting equality between humans and other races." Though I guess having a lich, a chimera, a devil, several goddesses, and the crimson demon clan(technically not humans) would have done that already.

"Succubi? That explains the brothel...If you all don't mind I'll be heading out, Khloe would kill me if she knew I walked into one of these!" With that All Might made the smart decision of walking out of the establishment asap, leaving Izuku alone with the goddesses.

"Smart man. If I didn't know any better I'd give you a 5 second head start myself Izuku-kun. Though I need to ask for Aqua-senpai's sake. Does Kazuma-kun come here?" Eris asked, I just raised an eyebrow at her. "Right stupid question, of course he does."

He actually didn't after that succubus incident a few months back but Aqua didn't need to know that. The sweetest revenge is the type where you get your two targets to go at each other after all. At least that was what Kachan always said, with much more vulgar language.

Speaking of which Aqua was the second to rush out of the place with a red face. For different reasons to All Might obviously. This left me with Wolbach and Eris, oh and the succubi who were seconds away from throwing themselves at me. I should get on that.

"Calm down please. I'm happy to see you all again too but I need to speak to your leader, there's an important event going on involving the city, and the country at large so I thought it would be best to include her." The succubi were a bit put off by the fact that I could ignore their charms so easily, many of them pouting at me. Thankfully they got serious quickly and let us in to see their 'queen' so to speak.

"Ah, Izuku-sama. To what do I owe the pleasure." The white haired succubus queen, Lilith spoke sensually. Desire clear in her voice, then again it was a succubus so that was a given. "My children said something about an issue that involved the whole country, that's quite high profile for little ol' me don't you think?" She asked, a bit confused about what I wanted.

"I don't think so. You've been in this city longer than I have, you deserve to be part of the peace negotiations just as much as I do." I reassured her.

"Peace negotiations?" She asked, even more confused, though her blush showed that my words got through to her.

"With the demon king. He officially surrendered yesterday." I explained, further stunning her, at this point she just stared at me slack jawed and wide eyed. "A-are you ok mam?" I asked in concern, this had never happened before.

"W-when?! How?! It hasn't even been two years!" ...This was going to take a while to explain. Not that I disagreed, when I started this journey I would have thought ending this was in a little under two years would be a naive dream at best.

About an hour of explaining and rejecting succubi advances later.

"Thank you again for your cooperation, I'll see you again later tonight- Not in that way! Jeez, ok goodbye all of you." I said before shutting the door to the cafe. "*Sigh, every time I visit this place I barely get out in one piece. Sorry you two had to see that." Two slightly traumatized goddesses hugged each other as we left the establishment, slightly shaking at what they just experienced.

"How?...Why?! Why were they all so thirsty?! Don't they know that one man can't handle all that?!" Wolbach questioned, who she was asking was a mystery though as she stared at the sky. I sent them a pitying look, most people reacted that way after the succubi spoke what they wanted to do with me outloud.

"Oh, Izuku-kun could handle it, trust me I know. The real question is why they were so thirsty for him specifically?! Aren't they supposed to chase down the sinful?!" Eris questioned this time, face reddening at the implications.

"Ok I'm going to put a stop on that now. Apparently the succubi are attracted to the two extremes. Innocence and decadence. Apparently I'm enough of the former that it...Excites them. Something about a rarity among men." I deadpanned, I wasn't about to be labeled a pervert by my own girlfriend, that was Darkness' job. "Though I'm confused as to why I'm part of the other side of the spectrum, I'm far from innocent anymore."

"A spicy cinnamon roll is still a cinnamon roll Izuku-kun. I can see why those hussies would be attracted to it." Eris slowly recovered before gaining a gleam in her eyes. Oh boy, I don't think I'll be sleeping the night after our negotiations. Or the following day for that matter. Or the following night. I'm gonna die...Oh well, I could think of worse ways to go, like exhaustion for example.

Several hours later.

"For the last time Eris-chan, save it for after the peace talks. You're making everyone else uncomfortable and Darkness passed out twice already!" I tried my best to dissuade the corrupted goddess on my hands. Surprisingly it wasn't the goddess of sloth and hatred, or the alcoholic one this time.

Speaking of which: "I'm back! Sorry about nearly being late, Kazuma-kun had a horrible case of drowning so I had to heal him. Five times. He'll be fine by the time we leave, don't worry." She said in a sickly sweet voice, sending shivers down most of our spines. I may have gone too far with that revenge plot..

"Did..I miss something?" Pandora's voice emerged from the basement, slightly confused over the sight she came upon after waking up. "Is this a bad time? Oh, and who might these people be? I recognize my former fellow generals but what about the blonde and the succubus?" She questioned, though the latter had a pretty obvious explanation.

"No it's fine, we've just had a bit of a long day. Luna-chan here is the representative for the adventurer's guild while Lilith is the queen of the local succubus faction. They'll be joining us in the peace talks since it heavily involves them as well." I explained, earning a surprised but happy look from Pandora. Guess I was right about involving the succubi being a sign of good faith.

"That's perfect, it will certainly win over some of your detractors within our kingdom. Now, if you are all ready then allow me to prepare the group teleportation scroll." Pandora requested as we all headed towards the living room, giving us a good amount of space to teleport without taking any pieces of furniture with us.

Mass Teleportation!

And once again we were teleported in the blink of an eye. Right in front of the demon king. Again. In what I could only assume was the throne room considering it was twice the size of our mansions' living room on it's own, along with being rather barren except for the king's seat. 'I swear to the gods they keep doing this on purpose.' Was this a power play, or was Pandora just pranking them?

And if I'm being perfectly honest I was leaning towards the former when i first looked at the demon king in all his glory. A tall, heavily armored man with bone white hair and a complexion to match. He was wearing armor very similar to Pandora's with the soul difference being the large crimson ruby in the center. A billowing red king's mantle attached to it and a ruby ornate crown atop his head. All in all he cut quite the imposing figure.

Said image was immediately thrown away the second he opened his mouth.

"Velcome to my kingdom, tis a pleasure to meet you, Midoriya Izuku the same goes for you lovely company." The demon king said, a thick, clearly fake romanian accent, and with the way he addressed me I guessed his origins almost immediately.

"So you're a reincarnate too. I'm going to take a wild guess and say that it wasn't the gods that brought you here." Or if they did it wasn't one of the traditionally 'good' ones.

"Wow. Just kill all the fun. Put the fun in camps why don't you." He said with a pout, followed up immediately by Kazuma.

"Yeah you fun nazi." I have a feeling that there's a reference I'm not getting.

"Different universe?" He asked, confirming my guess. "I thought as much, nobody from my old world could possibly be that strong, though with time shenanigans being what they are you never know, for example I'm from a basic vanilla earth during the 21st century. I was summoned here centuries ago yet all the other reincarnates that come over are still from roughly the same era." That certainly is weird, I'm gonna have to ask the gods about that later.

"It was a Hellsing abridged reference by the way, not that it's likely to exist in your world anyway. I'm assuming superheroes are a thing there? Judging from the cross between Son Goku and Superman, that is your newest party member."

"I got both those references...Weird guess some things line up while others don't, this is gonna make reference comedy difficult to say the least." I had so many questions going on in my head I barely knew where to start, I took a moment to process what just happened.

"Indeed, now I know that I called you all here rather late at night and you human normies usually eat at this time sooo. *Snap. Anyone want dinner?" The room we were in changed, large long tables topped with a veritable mountain of food appeared around us. 'This guy has style. I'll give him that.'

Hopefully the rest of this meeting will go as well as the beginning of it.

Well that's it for this chapter, the actual negotiations will begin next time so keep an eye out for that. Btw I may or may not be uploading a bunch of one-shot/first chapters to various stories that I want to work on. These won't be updated regularly but I'll still write for them every now and again, helps keep my creativity flow and all that.

As a side you can consider any of the One-shots/first chapters as challenges if you want. Anyone that finds them interesting can appropriate them as they like. I only ask that you give me credit for the original idea, and maybe link my version of it in the beginning of your first chapter.

That's all for now, hope you all enjoyed this and that you have a wonderful day!
