Chapter 76.3: Where the P**p Vanished?

Since the location of that mansion is just around the corner, it’s highly possible for Kuna to have visited that place. And it was highly possible for Reiji and co to meet Kuna too.

I did hear from Kuna that she was strolling around that area, but she didn’t tell me of the fact that she met Reiji and co.

If that’s what happened, she’s in a really dangerous situation.

But then, I guess she has a reason to do that and at least an insurance for her own safety.

?No, that seems to be contradicting your story. You said that Moonlight Goddess is waiting in the innermost part of underground waterway, right??

?Yes. That’s what Hero-dono said. Unfortunately, I couldn’t ask for more details about what she said…?

?If that’s the case, the Moonlight Goddess must be a different woman. I mean, Kuna and I are just about to go on an air tour around the Minon plains to search for Lord Ulbard. It would make it impossible for her to wait for the hero and co in the underground waterway.?

Yesterday, I made an arrangement with Runfeld to go looking for Ulbard. That’s why my paid vacation ended yesterday.

And today, I’m gonna look for Ulbard along with Kuna while riding on Glorious’ back.

Thus, I concluded that the Moonlight Goddess must be a different person. Kuna had no plans to go to the underground waterway after all.

Well it is just one difference, but I guess it’s enough to conclude that they were completely different people.

Kuna was currently in another room with Sienna. It seems Sienna ended up teaching various things to Kuna.

We’re going to go looking for Ulbard, but I guess it was impossible to bring Sienna along with us. That’s why she will be house-sitting for the time being.

I mean, it’s not like we’re restricting her or anything. Plus, once we left, she was basically free to leave as well.

And lastly, it was about Lord Ulbard. To be honest, I really had no idea about his current whereabouts. He might be chasing after Zeal who went into hiding.

For that reason, he might come to find us. Well, we might find him soon as long as we’re flying over the Minon plain on Glorious’ back.

?As I thought, it’s just my misunderstanding, huh.?

?Naturally. In the first place, not even three years have passed since Kuna and I came to this world. And those ghouls were already nested in this country three years ago. That’s why, we’re completely unrelated to this matter. In addition, the hero and co are powerful, that’s why they shouldn’t have a problem against most opponents in this world.?

Turia heaved a relieved sigh after I told her so.

?I understood. I guess I felt relieved since the Black Storm’s God has no intentions of destroying this country.?

Hearing that, I realized that deep inside, Turia held fear towards me.

Come to think of it, I did hear that many countries fell into ruin after they incurred a god’s wrath.

Though humans were some sort of familiars in the eyes of Elios’ god, it didn’t mean that they’d be forgiven if they defied the gods. There were numerous tales in this world about such people who received divine punishment from gods.

?At the very least, I have no intentions of doing that to this country.?

?Yes. It’s as you say, O Dear God.?

Turia was bowing deeply as she said so. A being with great power like me might be an extremely terrifying existence for her.

I felt conflicted about that view.

But well, whatever. Let’s focus on finding Ulbard for now.

I wonder where he is right now?

***

?Daemon Lord, Ulbard

I was right under the human country called Ariadya.

In here was an altar that sealed the evil god Badon. I led my subordinates and came to this place.

?Welcome, Great Daemon Lord, Ulbard-sama. I’m Tarabos. I’m following the guidance from Great God of Dreams and came to this land.?

A human was bowing to me.

God of Sleep, Zand was a small, weak god. That’s why he could only turn a human, the weakest race, as his subordinate.

To be honest, I felt uncomfortable speaking with the human ,but I had no choice.

?You said you’re Tarabos, right. I don’t seem to see Zand-dono’s figure , but do you happen to know where he is??

Despite looking around, I couldn’t find the figure of Zand.

In the first place, the one who told me to come to this place was Zand. He told me that he wanted to show me an interesting scene.

?My apologies, he also told me to obey your orders when you come.?

Tarabos replied with an apologetic look on her face.

?Whatever. Let’s wait for him.?

Though I had no idea what Zand was planning to do, I guess I could only wait for him.

When I sat in the seat that was already prepared in this place, I noticed that someone was hiding his figure. It was Zeal.

?Ooi, if it isn’t Zeal.?

One of my subordinates was pointing at Zeal. This person happened to be a Black Satyr like Zeal.

There were few others like him amongst my subordinates.

?O-OOh, long time no see, everyone.?

Zeal got surrounded by his former colleagues.

?ZEAL YOU B*STARD!! WHY IT’S ONLY YOU A*SH*LE WHO GETS TO COME TO A PARADISE LIKE THIS!! AND YET, YOU STILL DARE TO BETRAY YOUR MAJESTY MODES-SAMA, SHAME ON YOU!!?

?Yeah. We want to flirt with nice human babes too. Why it’s only youuu… I’m so fu*cking jealous…?

They surrounded the flustered Zeal.

?Eeh, everyone, there’s still beautiful Empusa-oneesan in Nargol for you to enjoy right.?

?LIKE FU*CKING HELL WE’RE GONNA TOUCH THOSE MAN-EATER-WOMAN!! I’LL BE HAPPY IF IT’S SEXUALLY, DID YOU FORGET THAT THEY LITERALLY ATE THEIR SE*X PARTNER!!!?

Few others Black Satyr nodded along. ?Yeah, he’s absolutely right!? One Black Satyr shouted that.

Empusa was a tribe of monsters that was composed of only females. Their meals were males. One could say that they’re the bane of males due to their ability to use illusions.

?H-How about the daemon race oneesan or the dark elves nees-?

?LIKE HELL THEY WANT TO PLAY WITH US!!!?

The Black Satyrs were shouting at Zeal with an indignant voice.

I ended up pressing my palm on my forehead upon hearing the content of their quarrel. Seriously, just what in the h*ll were these idiots quarrelling about.

?T-Then, will you forgive me if I introduce you guys to some human girls??

?Eh, you’re not tricking us, right? I love the ones with a huge rack.?

?Count me in, Zeal.?

?Don’t you dare to forget about me.?

The Black Satyrs quickly changed the moment Zeal said that he would introduce some female humans to them.

Seriously, just how in the hell were these idiots got chosen as the member of the proud Dark Knights of Nargol.

?YOU LOT!! WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!!?

Zeal and co suddenly turned meek upon hearing that voice.

?MY DEEPEST APOLOGIES, ULBARD-SAMA!!?

All of them bowed to Ulbard.

Good grief, this group of idiots.

?Come to think of it, where is that person right now, Ulbard-sama? To be honest, I have yet to trust that god.?

My close aide spoke with a grim look on his face.

Sure enough, I also agreed with him. That god of dreams loved to go overboard when he was playing around.

?Yeah. I’ve been wondering too just where in the world is he right now??

I had a bad premonition about this situation.

***

?Silver Witch; Kuna

?My brother is going to the underground waterway… uhm, Goddess-sama. Is my brother going to be alright??

Sienna asked with an anxious look on her face upon hearing the news from me.

?Dunno. Well, I can at least tell you that it’s a dangerous place.?

Sienna looked dejected upon hearing Kuna’s remark.

?Please Goddess-sama!! Please save my brother!!?

Kuna just looked down on Sienna who pleaded in desperation to Kuna with a cold look in her eyes.

Now, what should I do with this girl and her brother? The most important thing for Kuna was Kuroki, and only Kuroki.

But, Sienna had also imparted Ishtar’s secret arts to Kuna.

It was a lovemaking art to please Kuroki in the bedroom.

Well, I guess I should lend her a bit of my power as a token of gratitude for teaching me such interesting arts.

?Kuna is going to have a date around the Minon plains with Kuroki after this. That’s why I can’t help you with this matter. But, I can lend you my power. Use it to save your brother.?

Kuna grabbed Sienna’s hand and sent Kuna’s mana into her. This much should be enough to strengthen Sienna.

?Thank you very much.?

?Save that for later. And don’t forget to tell your brother when you meet him later to blow the flute. The rat should disappear when he does so.?

?Flute??

?Yes, flute. And here, I’ll lend one of my butterflies to you, they should be enough to guide you to your brother.?

After that, Kuna summoned one butterfly to assist Sienna.

?Thank you Goddess-sama. And my brother’s name is Decius.?

Sienna tried to correct Kuna, but Kuna didn’t care about that.

?Okay, that’s all I can do for you. Now you’re free to go- not that we had any intentions of holding you back in the first place.?

?Yes!?

Sienna left the room as soon as I told her so.

?She finally left, Kuna-sama.?

A flying head suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

It was Zand. This idiotic man had already turned into Kuna’s slave. Well, only his former status as god prevented Kuna from completely eradicating him.

In addition, Kuna had also told him to only appear when Kuna was by herself. It seems he was at least sensible enough to obey Kuna’s order.

?How’s the progress of that plan, Zand??

?KYAHAHAAHA. As per Kuna-sama’s instruction, I’ve already led that idiot Ulbard to Badon’s altar. I also locked him in there with a barrier. With this, they won’t be able to leave that place.?

Zand, who only has his head left, let out an eerie laughter. Honestly, I want him to stop.

Thus, Kuna kicked his head with all her power.

Kuna’s kick sent Zand’s head bouncing around the room like a ball.

?Shut your mouth or I’m gonna kick your head, Zand.?

?Uuh, so cruel Kuna-sama. Please say that before you kick my head.?

I turned a deaf ear to Zand’s complaints.

?You’re the one at fault for being noisy.?

?Sorry Kuna-sama~. By the way, aren’t you going to come to the underground waterway, Kuna-sama??

?Naturally, I won’t. Why should I go to that foul place? In the first place, Kuna never said anything about waiting for them in that place, it was just in that d*ckhead’s imagination.?

Kuna recalled the time when she met the hero and his party.

Kuna only told them to come to Badon’s altar, she never told them that she was going to wait for them there.

I pressed my palm against my forehead.

The contact with the hero and co was my blunder. That time, if that hero failed to stop my attack with his sword, Kuna might have ended up killing him for real.

Kuna never expected that he would strike back while defending himself from Kuna’s attack.

A chill ran down into Kuna’s spine upon recalling that moment.

But, Kuna made the right choice by stopping his sword.

Since the hero narrowly escaped death with that.

Naturally, Kuna kept that matter a secret from Kuroki. He would end up worrying for Kuna’s safety if Kuna told him about that event.

Kuna didn’t wish to make Kuroki sad.

Thus, Kuna will refrain from acting on her own from now on.

Since Kuna had obtained a useful piece called Zand, Kuna is going to work him hard from now on,

?Yeah, that’s a foul place indeed. Is that why Kuna-sama sent Ulbard instead??

Zand came closer while laughing eerily. Kuna had already turned him into a flying head.

?Yes. I have to punish Ulbard for trying to plot against Kuroki after all.?

Kuna didn’t tell Kuroki about Ulbard’s whereabouts. The kind-hearted Kuroki might have ended up forgiving Ulbard and gone into that trap to save the latter despite the latter’s plot to kill him.

But, Kuna was different. Ulbard must be punished for his sin.

Kuna was smiling lightly upon imagining that scene.

Now then, Ulbard. The hero and co are coming to you. Enjoy that moment to the fullest.
