Chapter 090 - Schedule during summer vacationMonster Musume chapter 90: Schedule during summer vacation
『...h.e.l.lo』Spirit-san
『I will excuse myself only by voice. I am Yukurishisu. You are?』Yukurishisu
『A friend of Tsuchio. I invited Tsuchio before you, so you better withdraw.』Spirit-san
『I would like to do so if possible, but here is also convenient. You can meet Tsuchio every summer, can"t you? As of now, I can only see him next summer. My schedule was so full that I managed to get some free days. Won"t you withdraw this time?』Yukurishisu
『I"m not free. I can"t move from my work place and I have to wait for Tsuchio to come. I don"t know what you"re planning to do.』Spirit-san
『That"s the same for me. Firstly, Tsuchio said he wanted to come here all the time. If you"re Tsuchio´s friend, why don"t you think about him first?』Yukurishisu
『That"s my line. I need to make sure of the things I gave to Tsuchio´s familiars. Once you have a day off, why don"t you go to see him.』Spirit-san
『I"m telling you because I can"t. It"s a little bit of a special job, so I rarely take a break. I have no holidays, but can you get time to meet Tsuchio? I don"t have a day off and I rarely have time to meet Tsuchio. Can you give up?』Yukurishisu
『No, this is what I asked first. I have no reason to pull back, so I think it is bad this time, but I won"t give up.』Spirit-san
『...』Yukurishisu
『...』Spirit-san
For some reason, I heard the conversation between Spirit-san and Yukurishisu and my eyes are drawn out and cold sweat drips down. Scary... these two are scary when they are quiet. Why did they become quiet suddenly!
“What are you doing, Tsuchio-kun. You"re sitting strangely and don"t your folded legs hurt?" Lucas
“It"s not like that..." Tsuchio
“That saying...what"s the situation?" Lucas
“...Pandemonium.” Tsuchio
“Ah...Tsuchio-kun, you were cajoled by your familiars..." Lucas
“No, it"s about the schedule for summer vacation. We"re discussing where we are going.” Tsuchio
“Ah, sorry.” Lucas
Saying so, Lucas went out of the room. I have to finish this quickly.
『Therefore, I want to always go to where you live! I said I want you to surrender to me! I want to have your consent as fast as possible.』Spirit-san
『You don"t understand it! If it happens so much, your country will be laid waste! It will be for eternity, your people will not be able to live normally!』Yukurishisu
『Try such a thing. I will exercise the power that I possess and I will do it to kill all your family members. I won"t withdraw absolutely.』
『Give it a try, I will turn the tables on you. No matter how many hundreds or thousands you bring in, your country will still be destroyed.』
While I"m talking to Lucas, Yukurishisu and Spirit-san have a prompt atmosphere for a moment. You know, it"s too much to start a war between the empire and a Spirit!
『Wa, Wait a minute! Please stop it, involving the country is a big fight!』Tsuchio
『I know that. Indeed, it won"t go so quickly.』Yukurishisu
『I can"t get out of the base island either. It"s impossible, but I can put my body up there for Tsuchio.』Spirit-san
『I see, that"s good...』Tsuchio
This is a relief for now...they really freaked me out.
『There is no use for us to argue, let Tsuchio decide on the place.』Yukurishisu
『Well, after all, it"s important where Tsuchio wants to go to. Come on, Tsuchio! Where do you want to go, to this woman or to me?』Spirit-san
『Please don"t say that way...it will be misunderstood.』Yukurishisu
『Tsuchio, you decide.』Spirit-san
Well, what shall I do? Spirit-san was the one who contacted me first, but...if I miss this opportunity, I don"t know when I"ll be able to see Yukurishisu next time. ...Okay, I decided.
『This time, I will go to Yukurishisu´s place. I don"t know, when she can take a break next time』Tsuchio
『...So, Tsuchio took that.』Spirit-san
『I´m really sorry! Indeed, Spirit-san invited me first, but I don"t have much chance to go to Yukurishisu"s country. I"m going to bring you a lot of souvenirs!』Tsuchio
『Well, if Tsuchio says so, I have no choice then. I"m expecting a lot of souvenirs.』Spirit-san
『I"m sorry. Looks like he took me.』Yukurishisu
『It"s okay, that"s what Tsuchio decided. Where is the country where you have few opportunities to go?』Spirit-san
『It is a country on another continent. I´m the empress of this country. When Tsuchio came here before, I promised to guide him around my country.』Yukurishisu
『...He doesn"t have a chance to go certainly. Or rather, how are you going?』Spirit-san
『I will pick him up with my teleportation magic. Even if you come to this continent, the main means of transportation is teleportation magic.』Yukurishisu
As usual, it is a useful magic. If it is transfer magic, it will only be a moment while the sea roads that take tens of days if it is normally done.
『Well then, I will contact you when summer comes. For further information at that time.』Yukurishisu
『Okay, then.』Tsuchio
『Yes, good night.』Yukurishisu
The communication with Yukurishisu got cut first. Well, the development is next. It was Spirit-san who didn"t say anything in particular, but it was in front of Yukurishisu. If she were to tell her real intentions then I think that it will be now.
『...Well then, I"ll be off, too.』Spirit-san
『Yes, I will be sure to go to Danze Island again next summer. My top priority.』Tsuchio
『Well, I will be waiting quietly. ...I was looking forward to see Tsuchio’s arrival. Just remember that.』Spirit-san
『...I understand.』Tsuchio
And the communication with Spirit-san was cut. I"ve wronged Spirit-san, she was the first who asked me to come. It"s hard to make up for this. I have to prepare the best souvenir for the time being.
“Hey, Nichrome. I haven"t heard much about it before, but when we were fighting that golem, you were equipped with a gun that wasn"t a machine gun, right? I felt it was pretty big, but what kind of gun is it? I want you to show me if you can..." Tsuchio
“Alright, I will explain it while showing you." Nichrome
The day after the pandemonium between Yukurishisu and Spirit-san and after doing a new 3 vs 3 mock battle with new teams, I asked Nichrome about the equipment she used when we were fighting with that metal golem. I only glanced at it, but I remember it was a big difference from the magic machine gun’s size. There was a blueprint that I had divided before, and there was a weapon like that. I received it from Shadow-san and Nichrome might have made it by herself. Probably with the material we gathered from the ruins.
Nichrome put a hand into her snake body and pulled out a gun from inside. It was a rifle with a long and thick barrel.
“...Uuwaa, you also made an extreme thing. What kind of gun is this?" Tsuchio
“It is a sniper for large devil beasts. For hard monsters like that golem, you cannot give effective strikes with the magical machine gun. And this was originally for large monsters." Nichrome
“Hee… this is good. If it is an ordinary monster, will it be one blow? The upper body and lower body may be blown apart." Tsuchio
“It will be so. But to attack a small monster, this is too inefficient. If you use it, you need at least a medium-sized monster." Nichrome
“I see… well, there"s no harm in making it. In fact, this was the only thing that worked for this golem.” Tsuchio
We might have a chance to fight big monsters. At that time, I want her to fully wield that power. Well, we won"t have that opportunity for a while.
“Can you try it out and shoot a bit. I would like to see once how powerful it is." Tsuchio
“...Let"s shoot through that tree from here and take a look." Nichrome
That said, Nichrome pointed to a tree that was hundreds of meters away. You"re gonna shoot that from here...without a shadow around. It is too dangerous if I let her shoot real ammunition, therefore I let her use paint bullets. No, it"s dangerous enough with paint bullets.
“Then,” Nichrome
A visor comes out and Nichrome sets up her gun. The gun is attached to her human arm. Fine tuning the muzzle for a while and then firing, a huge roar can be heard around the area. As expected, it was pretty loud, that’s the reason I closed my ears.
“I shot it, how was it?" Nichrome
Looking closely, the tree trunk is stained with pink paint. She hit the middle of the trunk accurately... Nichrome is awesome.
“It"s just a sniper rifle that reaches so far. I don"t know how powerful it is because it"s a paint bullet, but it would go through that golem"s body. It has its own power." Tsuchio
“I agree. Master had closed his ears even if I didn"t say it, but did you know about this sniper rifle?" Nichrome
“...No, I didn"t know but the machine gun was also noisy. That"s why I thought this would be noisy, too." Tsuchio
It is similar to that machine gun I know but it is different. I think it is hard for Ruu to listen to this noise. Lime and Rin would be able to endure it well, but Ruu"s ears are really great. It would be quite painful if she listens to this noise and she needed time to get used to the gun shot of the machine gun.
“It seemed to be painful at first, but I became anxious when master says that it was dangerous." Nichrome
“Is that so. Well, don"t use it beside Ruu, if possible. She is really sensitive, so it may hurt her eardrums." Tsuchio
“I understand.” Nichrome
“Even so, it"s a huge gun. Your arm doesn"t break and while you"re only using one arm, it doesn"t shake at all.” Tsuchio
“It is connected directly with my body and cord, therefore it aims automatically in conjunction with my sensor. It won"t be able to break my arm with that weight, because my lower body is firmly held on the ground" Nichrome
“Well, you have a good influence in the direction of the unexpected. If so, you could be equipped with a more reactionary weapon." Tsuchio
“You mean?” Nichrome
“It is not just a gun, it"s like a real gun. Heavy fire power, wide range, big magical power." Tsuchio
“I see… there were some blueprints for such kinds of weapons. Let"s start right away." Nichrome
“Is the material enough? Even though we brought it in large quant.i.ties, the number is limited. First of all, how about extracting the useful blueprints and prioritizing them?" Tsuchio
“...Well, it"s better to use it systematically. Then, I"d like you to choose which one to make.” Nichrome
“Before we do that, would you please choose which one you think should be made, Nichrome? You can use that as a reference and decide for yourself.” Tsuchio
“If that is the case, we should decide what master has chosen." Nichrome
“Then, how about this? Nichrome and I will pick up which one to make one by one and decide by making a plan. I want you to think about what kind of weapon you want to make, Nichrome.” Tsuchio
“Me?” Nichrome
“Yes, Nichrome. Think of it as an exercise to judge things yourself." Tsuchio
“...It is a part of making me human." Nichrome
“That"s not all. Don"t ask someone for an opinion, think and act on your own. It is also to increase the versatility of Nichrome." Tsuchio
“Well, let"s keep it that way. Now, let"s prioritize which weapons we should make together." Nichrome
“Oh. Keep in mind that we may need to handle various situations." Tsuchio
“Understood.” Nichrome
Nichrome"s new weapon... high fire weapons can"t be thrown away, but usability isn"t good. Will she be able to make both? I hope the material is enough.
＜Yukurishisu POV＞
“Milady, I seemed to have been misunderstanding a lot, did you schedule Tsuchio "s schedule?" Wo-kun
“Yes, I did. Tsuchio picked me! I don"t know who the other woman was, but this time, I win!" Yukurishisu
“Anyway, Tsuchio decided to come to the empire next year. So, let"s work hard now to get you some summer holidays.” Wo-kun
I was talking to a woman who was Tsuchio"s friend in my private room in the castle. Doc.u.ments piled up like a mountain are put in front of me who managed to let Tsuchio come to the empire. I mean, I finished my work for today, right?
“Tsuchio-san"s holiday roughly spans one month. As you can move quickly with Milady´s magical skill, let"s go lazily around the country for one month." Wo-kun
“And how can this and other doc.u.ments connect together!?" Yukurishisu
“Well, you will leave the throne that Milady didn"t leave for a long time - for one month. If it isn"t possible to advance ahead of schedule more than this, it might be that you will be recalled to the capital on the way. In order not to do so, let"s do the work quickly!" Wo-kun
“Well, that"s right then.... I managed to adjust the sightseeing plan so that it fits one month." Yukurishisu
No matter how much you move with teleportation, it is impossible to guide all of the empire in one month. So, I made a schedule to guide through the eye-catching towns of the empire. Since the Empire is a nation of nations, many forms of towns and cultures are mixed together. It will be really fun to show them around, but I need to cut down my own sorrow.
“Did you grasp the whereabouts of the aristocrats who escaped with my elder brother?" Yukurishisu
“They moved to the dark area, but we still can"t grasp their footsteps. However, I know that there is a movement. They seem to be hiring more skilled people, so they won"t run away with their tails behind." Wo-kun
“The country is still confused and I don"t know what to do with it. If you don"t process it as soon as possible, I won"t be left alone." Yukurishisu
“I know, I will increase the search range further." Wo-kun
Before Tsuchio comes, I want to understand their movements at least. The first thing is to handle it internally, but he isn"t that simple an opponent indeed. It is absolutely necessary to avoid that or I won"t be a empress. Shall I leave it to Wo-kun or shall I break the mountain in front of me by myself?
