67 - Art. 67. Elimination Of Robbery 2
"You are a disgrace to the Imperial Guard.
Rico is very angry when he hears the report on the results of the battle back at the pavilion.
"Well, it's over now. We are what we are and we will do what we will do.
Pius says a few auspicious words to settle the matter. I ordered Pius and the others to take a break, asked Quena to serve tea, and went into the office with Gon, Rico, and Ferris.
"Are you going back to the house already?"
"No, actually, I still have some work to do. The bandit we just defeated is still responding to the bandit's hideout. And of demons.
"It would be better to defeat them..."
"By all means, take me with you! I will be of service to you!"
There are three demon responses in the bandit's hideout. Two of them seem to be nothing serious, but one of them is quite reactive. I have a bad feeling about this, so I decide to defeat them anyway.
"So, are you going now?"
"After dinner, maybe. Rico, I want you to go back to the house. Gon, Ferris and I will take down the remaining demons.
In that case, I'll wait here for you.
"Then stay with Pius and Quena and the others. If there is any danger, do not hesitate to run to the house. And if we don't return by daybreak, you go back to the house.
"Okay."
After finishing dinner, we immediately got on Ilimo and headed for the bandit's hideout.
It would take us a day to get there if we walked through the forest, but with Ilimo's wings, we could get there in about 20 minutes. Ferris can fly even in human form. As Ilimo's speed is still too fast for me to keep up with him, I keep an eye on Ferris as we fly over the forest in the approaching dusk.
After a while, we see a small mountain in the forest and a large house in the middle of the mountain. Surrounding it are numerous tents and shacks. It seems that the bandits' underlings have been living in a camp.
I put up a ward to completely block out their presence, and enter the house. The inside of the house is brightly lit. There is a large demon's reaction in the parlor just after entering the mansion. I headed there first. As I am about to open the door, I hear a voice from inside the room.
"You're late! My body is aching! I can't wait for you to come home!
I opened the door quietly. Inside was a beautiful woman. And a beautiful woman in a very erotic outfit.
She must have been about 20 years old. She was almost as naked as she looked, although her ample breasts were shaking and her important parts were hidden. This sight would be irresistible to an uncle.
"Arla, you're back! Are you alone? It's just you and me then. Hmmm..."
Oh, man, that's right in the middle of my strikes. But if you look closely, you can see black feathers on his back. Gon is clinging to my shoulder.
"That's a succubus, isn't it? She is a demon that sucks out a man's energy. Master, don't be blinded by it.
The sheer eroticism makes my heart pound, but it doesn't take my mind off of it. Normal, normal, normal. The succubus wiggles her hips and comes slowly with her index finger in her mouth. It smells like Showa Era, but it is still erotic.
"All the bandits are dead!
The succubus's body shudders. She looked stunned, but then her brow furrowed and she suddenly became furious.
All the men are dead? You won't have enough energy! My energy... my energy..."
A black mist rises from my body. I quickly lock this succubus inside the ward.
"I'm gonna suck the life out of you!"
Sharp needles shoot out from inside the succubus. They broke through my warding and some of them flew toward me. I immediately put my warding in front of myself to catch it, but the rest of it flew into Ferris.
Ferris!
"...I'm fine, I'm fine."
Several needles are stuck in Ferris's arms, but the arms are covered with dragon scales and do not seem to have penetrated.
"That's not going to work against my scales, is it?"
"Onore! I hate little girls like you the most! But I'm not going to kill you, okay? I'll let you be the bait that attracts the men, okay?"
"Are you stupid? Stop talking nonsense and worry about yourself.
As soon as the wards are broken, I'll put up even stronger ones. It withstands the dragon's breath with ease. I put about 3,000 MP into this thing, and it's good.
"Warding master... I don't think I can break this. Okay. I won't resist you. I will let my body be free."
With these words, the succubus stripped naked.
"Whenever you're ready. Taste it as you wish?"
"...Master, this succubus will be left alone for a day..."
What's going on?
It's not too late to think about it after you've had a day to think about it.
"...I guess so. I think I'd better reset my mind and deal with it.
"Don't say that~. Don't say that! Your thick, strong..."
...It was too bad for Ferris's education, so we left the room in silence.
"Why didn't you kill him?"
"Yeah, I'm going to leave it like that for a day."
"Ah! You weaken them without giving them anything for a day and then kill them? Very good, Mr. Linos. But why is that monster still naked? I thought they were trying to break the art of humanization..."
"Yeah, well, you know, whatever. I guess it's just another strategy to catch the enemy off guard."
"I see! They were going to attack us under the pretense that we were naked and surrendering! You are as cunning as a black dragon! It's great of you, Mr. Linos, to see through that!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hahahaha..."
Ferris's sparkling eyes pierce my heart. I quickly made my way to the demon that was giving off a weak reaction.
The map showed the reaction in the basement. There was a staircase leading down to the basement in the backyard of the house, and when I opened the door, it was pitch black inside. I cast a "light" spell to brighten the inside. Inside the room, I found old axes, swords, and other weapons, as well as rusty armor. On a table at the back of the room, there was an iron basket. As I approached it, I saw a quivering kitten with a tiger pattern and feathers on its back.
"What is this? Is this the child of Gurion?
"Gurion?"
He can run as fast as the wind and even fly. He can control wind magic at will, but he is also very strong and can kill a grizzly bear with a single blow. When he grows up, he will probably be an S-rank demon, close to the strongest in this forest.
We're going to get close to that cage.
"Kyu?"
The child gurion noticed our appearance and slowly looked up, staring at us dazedly.
"Hey, are you okay? Were you captured by these bandits here?"
"Kyoo."
Apparently, they understand our language but cannot speak it. But he still tried to tell us something.
"squeaky squeaky squeaky squeaky squeaky squeaky
He keeps crying.
"Wait a minute!"
Ferris steps in front of the baby gurion and stares at it. After a while,
"It looks like she was taken from a place in the forest where she got separated. And then... hmm? Mother Gurion said she came to rescue me. She was beaten back. So... he was skinned and disemboweled right in front of her. He wants us to get him out of here so he can kill the bandits."
"That's a tough break for you. Don't worry. We sent all the thieves to the other side. You don't have to fight anymore.
"Kyu. Kyu."
"Thank you very much."
"That's great, Ferris. You can understand this kid's words.
"No. Telepathy. We dragons can communicate with thoughts. Like this.
Oh, wow. I can hear Ferris' voice in my head. That's useful.
Let's just smash this cage and get this little gurion out of here. As soon as he's outside, he flaps his little wings and jumps into my chest. What a cute little guy!
Holding the baby gurion in my arms, I head for the next room where the other demon is responding. There was a girl lying on the floor.
"What's this girl?
She has a very pretty face, but she has antlers on her head like a deer. She must be a beast or something. I slap her cheek, but she doesn't respond. I decide to leave the house with the girl in my arms for now. We set up a transfer boundary there and came back to the reception room of the mansion.
Welcome home. What's wrong?
"In the meantime, give this little gurion something to eat. And put this girl down somewhere.
Quena moves quickly and gets us ready. The beast girl seems to be only sleeping, so we put her on the sofa. Then, assuming the worst, we place a ward around the girl.
"What the hell is going on?"
I told Rico what had happened at the house.
"Well, that was a surprise. Shall we keep them here for a while? In some cases, we may be able to take them back to the mansion. By the way, what kind of demon was this succubus?
It's hard to explain. The eroticism... Oh, no, no, no. Ferris interrupted me.
"Oh, that's the naked one..."
"Rico! I'd like to hold you tonight, if that's all right."
"Of course!"
He responded in a rather biting manner. We returned to the house in a transitional ward, to the amazement of the others.
That night, I loved Riko to the fullest.
