Monster Musume chapter 54: It was delicious
"According to the knight order divide according to your leader”
“Adventurer, you will follow the command of commander Kisato”
“The injured ones don"t overdo it! You will withdraw to recover your injuries!”
The knight leaders give instructions and organize everyone as decided. The teachers are moving with the adventurer and gather next to Kisato-san. For now, let"s get there too.
“Tsuchio-sama are you okay!?”
“There are no injuries but I have no magical power for now. Rin, your power was really great, so can you still move?”
“...Buru”
“I see. You can do what you want for the time being, but if I think it"s impossible, I"ll make you withdraw immediately. Okay?”
“Buruu”
“How about you Ruu and Lime?”
“I still have s.p.a.ce, but I almost was defeated.”
“Kokukoku..." Purupuru
Lime also seem to be okay....That"s right.
“If I´m here, I tend to rely on magic by all means. So I go off from you Rin and fight too”
“Buru..."
“I have to be here, so I will fight with reinforcement magic as before”
"is that what you decided? If you fight on the front, please come with me”
“Eh, we won"t fight on the front though?”
...N? What does she mean?
“Don"t you go to the front?”
“Koku”
“Buru”
“Uh, I have to protect Tsuchio. Moreover, a demon might come"
“No No No. If you say such a thing, you can"t fight! How about the rearguard.”
Uu, when I say so they can"t retort...no, if I understand the reason why that demon came here, Ruu may also be convinced. I can predict it to some extent.
“No, I think demons won"t come anymore. It’s just a prediction but I think the demons won’t cast group magic again because there is the magic corps taking care of that. Well, because the demon had such a character, it didn"t go well.... And I think there aren"t many demons in this fortress left. The head that took charge of the total command was defeated by the heroes.”
"Then, who is taking charge of the command?"
“Who knows. Maybe they move by their own judgement or maybe there is a demon that is like a vice-commander.... Rather than that, we don"t have to afford to go to the rear because of the demons. We still have our reinforcement.”
However, with Regitto´s reason, we cannot necessarily ignore the perception of a strong opponent. In addition, it isn"t necessary to hold out a siege when the reinforcement comes. And because we lose in numbers, we should stay in the castle and earn some time.
“...Understood, if Tsuchio says so, we fight in the front. However, we will return at once when I think it is dangerous!"
"Yes, when you"ll do that, I"m saved, too....Thank you for worrying”
“Of course, it is for Tsuchio´s well-being.”
Ruu will be a good wife in the future by all means. I absolutely have no intent to hand her over to anyone.
“Hahaha, you´re on good terms. I´m getting red when I see this.”
"I"m sorry, taking some time. Ruu will go to the frontline.”
“Then, please come to me.”
Okay, I too will devote myself to supporting. Don’t go out too far, you know what Ruu will say right.
I was a.s.signed to guard the magicians again. Even if I say so, I´m a person who fights directly and sufficiently. On the front fight the knights...while the adventurer tends to fall back. Because it is such a reason, I keep throwing talismans on the roof. Occasional magic is blown off, but I always prevent it by raising a wall.
Seeing the mixed knights and adventurer corps at the front, they go to the center of the fortress from a separate way. There is a big building in the center of the fortress and probably on the top floor over there, the head of the fortress might reside. Well, several devil beasts are protecting it now. Why would you reside in such a conspicuous place? ...ah, it is probably for the government official who comes from the imperial castle.
We run straight in the rooftop and jump over house after house at times and follow the adventurer. There are devil beasts going on the roof, but they fall down mostly before they can approach.
“Ugagagaga!”
“GyaGyaGya!”
“Yes yes, make way make way-”
“Uge!?”
“Gyago!?”
Goblins came to the roof this very moment, however, I send them flying with my talismans. Coming up are only goblins because orcs can"t go up here. Occasionally, harpies, lizardmen, and monkeys come too, however, they aren"t so strong. They are at the level that I can support with enough fire bees.
When the people in the front were about to reach the building in the center, the monsters who were near the north gate run away. There is nothing in the center or is there something after they ran away? Capturing this fortress once, do they think they can capture it again? Flames broke out from several places, so does this mean they burn all supplies in this fortress. After this, do they attack again?
The knights didn’t pursue the devil beasts. Well, our mission is to regain the fortress, so it isn"t necessary to chase them too far.
Probably because their leader also ran away, the monsters ran away one after another. And the devil beasts departed in no time from the fortress. Already a wonderful retreat.... Well, I understand that we don"t chase them.
All monsters ran away and the fortress is wrapped in silence. And a large number of roars echoed. Huuu...finally it is over. No, not yet. It will end when we can repulse the devil beasts who try to get back here.
“Tsuchio are you uninjured!?”
“I´m alright...I was on the roof all the time.”
“...” Purun
"It seems to be all right. Are you all uninjured?”
“I´m not injured. I´m your familiar.”
“Kokukoku”
“Buruu”
“That"s a relief.”
Anyway Ruu and the other tends to make light of myself, therefore if they are hurt, I want them to notice that there is a person who worries about them....
"All right, we regained the fortress! It is approximately two weeks until the residence soldier comes from the capital! Till then, don"t let a devil beasts to step on the soil of this fortress!”
Are we restricted here until the residence soldier come.... Haa, I am worried whether I´m not left for study....
After that, for two weeks devil beasts attacked several times and we were able to protect the fortress through until the residence soldiers came somehow. The biggest attacks were three. I concentrate on it in the first week even if I say a surprise attack of the devil beasts, it was counted in the first and did not spread into the latter half.
The first surprise attack was particularly dangerous. Many devil beasts came over from the north and attacked. Without the magic of the elves, we might have lost it again. We reduced their number by magic to some extent, afterward, we went out of the gate and dealt with the interception. Well, Ruu tidied up more than half of them with her breath. No, the flock of devil beasts was broken like the ten commandments of Moses. Her breath seemed to affect her body, so she firmly demanded a ma.s.sage on that night, if it is compared to the fortress, a ma.s.sage is cheap.
Because the next attack was relatively few, Rin brought a thunderstorm and gave damage generally. This isn"t just any thunderstorm with rain and thunder, it is literally a thunder rain. Although there is a considerable acc.u.mulation of magic power, the power and range are guaranteed. At the evening of that day, my magic power reached the maximum. Well, I recover if I sleep a little so it is not a problem. The weary fact doesn"t change....
And the third attack. Even if I say a maraud of big scale, it"s being compared with the second half. If it"s compared with the previous two, the number is large, but most of them are small fishes. The strongest was B rank, so I let Lime run wild. No, it was scary.... Because Ruu and Rin were devoting themselves as my guards, therefore Lime stepped forward, but...it was scary.... She moved between the monsters and tear their necks by pa.s.sing by. Blood spouts out each time and polluted Limes body. Although it is good because there is separately no enjoyed paragraph...her figure which cuts devil beasts plainly, reminded him of a murder machine.... Because she rushed up whether she wanted me to praise her while being b.l.o.o.d.y, I hugged her properly and lifted and spun her. A man has the situation he isn"t supposed to pull! Though why does she seem so, slightly dissatisfied?
Nevertheless...after all, the true colors of the magic beast has not been known. Absolutely they are likely to differ from this continental monsters...however, it isn"t revealed to what is different. I should understand the difference.... I mean why do I worry about it here. The devil beasts are our enemy, but is there not another party who we should defeat. ...Well, because I can"t be convinced with that, I"ll worry about it here. If I hold such thought for devil beasts, I will have the same thought towards Lime and Rin. Therefore I need materials denying this thought. As much as it is really different, because it"s difficult to give up easily, it"s ill-natured. At night I´m not able to sleep with this anxious, Ruu will definitely come from the kingdom and hit me … If she can confirm that I can’t sleep, it’s not like I mind but, well it’s that, just like Ruu.
And on the day when the residence soldiers came, the knight orders of the other countries returned. I heard that they will be thanked directly by the king soon. Everybody seem to be troubled with it.... The teachers and I returned to the academy after we stayed overnight at the royal capital. We had no guards but only several times we were attacked by devil beasts but all of them were defeated by the teachers. Well, I am thankful because during the movement I slept on top of Rin all the time. ...That reminds me, where will Ruu stay in the future in the academy.... The monster storage is like a poor prison...in my room? HAHAHA, what are you saying captain? That hair hairstyle is a joke, that kind of bird’s nest Afro sungla.s.ses head ! such is like DJ in the 80"s you know!
( George is a fict.i.tious person. And, the thing about 80’s is Tsuchio’s narrow-minded view )
Well, George is left behind. I should be serious with a room for Ruu. I will talk with the princ.i.p.al later. As expected, I can"t send a woman to jail.
We arrived at the academy in no time. After circa 1 month... feels like one month. I was close to death, Ruu became a human and we recaptured the fortress. Well, the last one has finished searching awfully. If saying so, I left with a good grace strangely. I admired, but when thinking now, the beginning is somewhere strange. Well, it is good to value the life of the soldiers. Then it"s consumed wastefully. Haa, only my doubt increases....
Many students met us with applause at the front gate. Miraculous...there was no casualty by the teachers. Lucas jumps into my chest with teary eyes when I go off the carriage. The eyes around are lukewarm, but some schoolgirls have become enthusiasm. Hey there! As for the invitation receiving, what is with me! Do not say whether the opposite is an ant or original! Ruu stop her glance that has finished cooling down, too!
“Tsuchio-kimi! I was really worried!!!”
“Tsuchio-dono～～～!!!”
“Sometimes you are strange!? What"s wrong with you, hey!?"
"Yes, I have been injured a little. However, because it was healed properly, I am entirely okay. My flesh was shaved a little.”
"I, it seems to be painful～"
"It is fine now and has been already cured. Hey, separate from me, the princ.i.p.al called me. I will talk a lot with you later.”
Lucas and the others left unwillingly. By the way, what does she want to talk with me?
“Oh, you came. I have already finished talking with the other teachers.” Princ.i.p.al
“Excuse me...what do you want to talk about?” Tsuchio
“It"s about reward and vacation. After making you fight only, cla.s.s is too hard suddenly.” Princ.i.p.al
“Is that so. Can I take a little rest, too?" Tsuchio
“Of course, please slowly relax. Together with the heroes and Sasha-sensei, Tsuchio-boya was called to the capital. It seem to give etiquette and a reward." Princ.i.p.al
“...Meeting the king?” Tsuchio
Only that...really stop only that...! It is still good in case of the war and there is no problem if Ruu is there. However, it will be bad if the opponent is politic. It’s best if we don’t involve ourselves in that kind of thing.
"No, you´re fine only with that. To express their grat.i.tude, it probably will be a minister from this neighborhood. The reward...well, it will be money.” Princ.i.p.al
“Haa...the details are told later. Ah, about Ruu, I want you to prepare another room..." Tsuchio
“Yes, she became a human-type. Certainly, the image isn"t good...if I am not mistaken, the private room dormitory which a stupid n.o.ble of somewhere built in old days is still kept intact, you can take it if you want. It seems to be cleaned neatly, so I think you can use it immediately.”
“Heee...for what would I use a private room dormitory.”
“Then, it’s fine with whatever right. Please hear a detailed talk from the dorm mother."
“Okay.”
At night, Lucas questioned me all the time from the evening, so I have the dorm mother lead me to the personal dormitory. Visually, it is a small lodge.... If it"s this size, may there be only several rooms?
"Look, this the personal dormitory, because it is cleaned properly, it is still usable now. ...if you bring a girl here, don"t demolish it.” Dorm mother
"I won’t do such a thing. I didn"t know, that there is a thing like this in the back of the dormitory. Thank you for your guidance.” Tsuchio
"Don"t mind it, although you"re a student, you were taken to war.... It was hard, therefore take a rest, slowly." Dorm mother
“Th, Thank you very much.” Tsuchio
Oh, the dorm mother is strangely gentle. Then, I´m thankful....
The inside is in a beautiful state without dust as the dorm mother said. As expected, there are only a big bedroom and restroom and all furniture are high quality. The bedroom in itself is considerably big, 4-5 single beds may be displayed aside. It is large as n.o.ble people have.
I took Ruu with me and we looked inside the room. Just now I said you can put several beds inside, but there is really only one big bed. Some furniture such as a desk or a dresser won"t be used by Ruu and I have no problem. Although I didn"t bring Lime and Rin here...I will show it them tomorrow.
"This is good, Ruu. It"s quite a wonderful building, moreover, a private room." Tsuchio
“Yes, it is really good...a private room.” Ruu
She pushed my back and I fall onto the bed. Ruu sits on top of me. Her face flushed and her breath has fallen into disorder a little, too.
“Emm...Ruu? What is with your face..." Tsuchio
“Tsuchio you said it. We are doing this as soon as we return to the academy.” Ruu
Ruu gives a lot of care to her necktie and unties it so that her two sweet and rich melons peep out from her collar and naturally my eyes are drawn to them...dangerous, dangerous. I have to make sure that it won"t spill...even if it spill out is it good? N, No, I must do it properly!
“Mou, where are you looking...pervert.”
“Eh, ah, emm..."
"Keeping me waiting all the time, even though knowing that I"m tempting....I"m very excited."
My arm is held and her face has been brought closer. Her pretty face that feels sharp on the battlefield is deep red in front of me and she smiles bewitchingly. ...’Uuwa, this is bad. My whole face is definitely complete red now....’
"It’s fine now right? Here is the inst.i.tute already, you do not need to endure it." Ruu
"I, It is so. Such a promise. Bu-But I"m really tired, so let"s wait for the next opportunity..." Tsuchio
“Not good, that is.... This sweet thing, I can"t endure it anymore.”
“Ru, Ruu calm down okay? For now, let’s count Pi..."
"Then...Itadakimaasu”
Eh, cho, Ruu? W, wait...!? A, A, Aaaaa!!!???
