Thank you for your patience. Episode 55 begins now. All 11 episodes will be released every Saturday at 0:00 AM.
Additionally, corrections for typos and other errors from Episode 26, which I referenced, have been made concurrently.
Regarding the typo reports you’ve kindly provided, I haven’t had the time to address them yet, but I plan to review them once I have the opportunity.
I, Hal Harem Von Raymond, encountered a she-demon (demon) in the form of Francine Egmont Waiyar, the Third Imperial Princess and half-sister of Ly, within the bedroom of the hideout belonging to the former Viscount Marquis Bottox, one of the Waiyar clan remnants.
In other words… she was hiding in my futon.
She had initially introduced herself as Flandore Lamia, the sole female member of the Adventurer Party calling themselves “Babel’s Gospel,” but when we met in the bedroom, she inexplicably claimed to be Francine Egmont Waiyar.
And she came to offer me her virginity, so… it’s understandable that I couldn’t comprehend the situation.
She was an exceptionally beautiful girl, but my opponent was an extremely dangerous she-demon of unknown true identity.
Therefore, if I had displeased her, there was a high probability that my life would have ended at that moment.
Hence, while declaring the “First Night Ritual,” I secretly investigated Francine’s body. I discovered a mass of miasma deep within her, but its size was considerably smaller than I had anticipated.
In other words, the she-demon was weakened.
This was likely because the “evil mana” that could be called miasma does not easily condense in the human world.
Furthermore, it seemed related to the fact that she was unable to travel between the human and demon realms due to Elise, the “Sealing Priestess Princess.”
Even so, for me, who was not adept at using weapons or offensive magic, it was the very embodiment of imminent, absurd death.
I fully understand that I’m wishing for things I don’t have, but I sometimes dreamt of fighting like a hero or achieving glorious victories like an offensive mage.
In reality, I pushed my exhausted body and coupled with Francine, but her reaction was surprisingly that of an innocent human maiden.
It seemed that Francine came to me due to her jealousy towards her half-sister, Ly.
Still, for a she-demon to be jealous of Ly…
Wasn’t this a consequence or side effect of being possessed by Francine’s body?!
The phenomenon of one’s mentality being swayed by their physical condition was something I had witnessed many times, even from my past life as Lester the Cleric.
Was it an interesting discovery that this phenomenon could also affect demons from the Demon Realm?!
Come to think of it, I feel like Astarotte and the Vampire three sisters were also captured.
That’s why I was able to incapacitate them as a finishing move in foreplay by simultaneously stimulating their sensitive points—the vagina opening, anus, and clitoris glans.
The caressing of the clitoris glans and the pressure applied to the sensitive area beneath the perineum, sandwiched between the vaginal canal and the rectum, seemed to be intense.
Francine lost consciousness, writhing in agony and exclaiming, “N-Nooo! My crotch is— *squish squish* — being pressed!”
Looking back, I feel that this was the only chance I had with my powerlessness.
I cultivated the mana within my body to generate Holy Aura, transmuted the semen into elixir, and then broke her virginity, pouring it into her uterus.
At that time, the consciousness of the demon within, the she-demon called Lamines Naga, surfaced…
Incidentally, Astarotte had previously shouted the she-demon’s true name.
Apparently, she was an insidious lamia who was recruited as a military advisor by the high-ranking demon Barberu when she invaded the human world.
However, Lamines Naga, the military advisor known to Astarotte, was said to be a bewitching beauty with the lower half of a serpent.
That’s why Francine’s trueidentity wasn’t recognized.
And it seemed to be the same for the Vampire three sisters as well.
Returning to the story, the miasma, the source of the demon’s power, and the Holy Aura, its opposite, clashed. While writhing from the impact of mutual annihilation, she occasionally showed a strangely relieved, peculiar reaction, but ultimately, the Holy Aura prevailed.
The she-demon should have been destroyed by this.
At the same time, the amount of remaining surplus Holy Aura was extremely small, as expected, and overwhelmingly insufficient to resurrect Francine’s remaining body. However…
For some reason, Francine breathed again and was resurrected.
I thoroughly examined Francine’s resurrected body and found no abnormalities.
In other words, she had been revived as a normal human, and even Swan Hilda, a Valkyrie belonging to the lower-ranking God Clan, vouched for it.
Furthermore, Francine and her half-sister Ly embraced each other, leading to what could be called a happy ending.
Incidentally, according to Francine’s own assessment of the situation, her existence as a demon, fused as a spiritual life form, had been obliterated.
Currently, the memories salvaged from Francine were being reimprinted onto her brain with the help of the Holy Aura, and Lamines Naga’s memories were also being imprinted along with them.
And Francine’s resurrection was apparently triggered by Lamines Naga’s core essence, left after the miasma was removed, which breathed life into her.
In other words, this miraculous feat was accomplishable because the origin of the core essence belonged to the celestial realm—a rather outlandish tale.
If the origin of the core essence is the celestial realm, it would naturally not be harmed by the Holy Aura.
If Francine’s explanation is correct, does that mean Lamines Naga was a fallen being?!
The truth remains shrouded in mystery, but I must accept Francine’s resurrection as a fact.
In essence, Francine’s own memories returned to her body, and while the soul’s foundation seems to be Lamines Naga’s core essence, she has been revived as a human maiden.
It feels a bit dubious, but I couldn’t believe she was lying.
By the way, our “Princess Harem” had become too large, so Astarotte, a former demon succubus, the Vampire three sisters Lara_Berze, Lili_Berze, and Lulu_Berze, and Eliza Licana Ultbern, who wished to withdraw, along with Waiyar Knights Garbador Yoitz Dela Noonheim and Nestella Yaggard, and the Third Imperial Princess Francine were scheduled to be entrusted to the former Viscount Marquis Bottox as we continued our journey towards the Imperial Capital Ashurai…
“Pokkorize, pokkorize, pon pon pon♪”
As I was seriously pondering, a cheerful song called the “Pokkorize Ondo” could be heard from a short distance away.
Probably one of Bottox’s subordinates was singing it.
The lyrics of this song are quite catchy, so it’s unavoidable that I started humming along.
“Hal-sama, isn’t the situation a bit too favorable for the insidious lamia?! If a dangerous demon survived, we could be executed as traitors. Please re-evaluate the situation carefully.”
As I was about to leave Bottox’s hideout, Astarotte approached me with a serious expression, expressing her suspicion that this whole affair was too convenient for Francine.
In other words, she was suggesting that Lamia, a mid-level demon, might be hiding her survival through some means of concealment or deception.
She also seemed to hold a personal grudge, believing that Lamia, as a military advisor, would excel at monopolizing power from a higher vantage point.
In other words… her appearing alone and so meekly was itself unnatural.
Astarotte’s opinion seemed plausible, and it troubled me.
“Astarotte, are you questioning me?”
Francine immediately retorted.
“Yes, you are the scheming lamia who drove me to a place of death. You are skilled at such maneuvering, aren’t you? I… don’t want to die yet!”
“I did instruct you to disguise yourself as a fortune teller, but that was out of consideration for you as a succubus who lacks direct offensive capabilities.”
“Then… what about us?”
This time, Lara_Berze, who had been listening beside Astarotte, asked the question.
Lili_Berze and Lulu_Berze nodded vigorously afterward.
“I… I was not involved with the Vampire three sisters. Zolgelge was in charge. Come to think of it, you all… were treated as expendable pawns, weren’t you? Blaming your own incompetence—”
Then, Astarotte and Francine found themselves in a tense, volatile situation.
Indeed, looking back, it felt as though events were unfolding exactly as Francine had envisioned.
In that case… is Lamines Naga, the she-demon lamia, still alive and currently in hiding or deceiving us?!
“Hal-sama, Hal-sama, may I have a moment?”
As I was somewhat troubled, Elise, with a dark smile and singing “Pokkorize,” approached me.
The phrase “Pokkorize Ondo” sung by Freya and Shera had somehow stuck in my head.
The lyrics were that addictive.
Especially Freya’s beautiful voice, hailed as the “Diva of Calmness,” carried well.
It should have been audible in every corner of the hideout.
Therefore, the singing I heard earlier was unavoidable.
Thus, it was common for Bottox’s servants to hum the “Pokkorize Ondo.”
Each time, a blue vein would throb on Elise’s temple…
“What is it?! Elise?”
“Princess Francine Egmont Waiyar, while not officially joining the “Princess Harem,” is staying with the party members who will remain behind. Therefore, from the perspective of protecting their safety, wouldn’t a body check of the Princess be necessary? Afterward, if we bathe together, we can have frank discussions.”
Elise’s proposal seemed reasonable at first glance: conduct the body check typically performed upon joining the “Princess Harem,” and then deepen their camaraderie in the bath.
However, a body check involves undressing and exposing the entire naked body, and in the case of virgins, a virginity test is also performed.
Furthermore, to even include bathing, which transforms party members into carnivorous women…
Something about Elise’s intentions seemed to be revealed.
However, as Elise said, if she were a demon, it would be considered a significant undertaking to reveal her tail.
This was a Marquis’s property, a hideout, and I had confirmed the existence of a large bath when I was shown around the mansion.
Now, all that remained was for me to make the decision.
“Understood, Elise! Proceed.”
“Yes, Hal-sama! I have certainly received your command ♪”
Elise departs from me in high spirits.
And from Elise’s lips, complaints spill out about wanting to strip her rude sisters and ignorant niece bare as well.
Since Elise has taken significant damage this time, it would be kind to leave her be.
Following her were Freya and Shera, who seemed to be planning something together, as if trapped in the same boat.
***
After a while, the grand hall of the hideout was prepared as the venue for the body check.
Though it was a hideout, it was originally a noble’s mansion, so it had a magnificent ballroom that could host masquerade balls.
In its heyday, Waiyar nobles must have danced the night away, enjoying social dancing.
Simultaneously, preparations for the bathhouse were also completed.
That Elise really put her heart into it.
Chairs and a long table for us were placed around a “platform” brought out from Elise’s item box.
Incidentally, the attendees were primarily stakeholders of “Princess Harem.” Waiyar Knights Garbador Yoitz Dela Noonheim and Nestella Yaggard were on guard duty in the surroundings.
Naturally, the lecherous old man, former Viscount Marquis Bottox, was denied attendance, but Vicomtesse Yagutska, her daughter Elena, and Baroness Gardes, whose abdominal wound had healed – Elise’s sisters and niece – were present.
It seemed Elise couldn’t refuse them.
Elise’s gaze seemed to be darting around a bit…
If anything happens, it will be Elise’s own fault.
Ultimately, in addition to the previously mentioned three associates of Elise, there were twenty-five people present: myself, Elise, Mai, Sharon, Freya, Shera, Kirika, Edelea, Eria, Swan Hilda, Dietlinde, Liliana, Astarotte, Eliza, Lara_Berze, Lili_Berze, Lulu_Berze, Ain, Zwei, Alicia, Tirna, and the Holy Spirit Serena. Francine, who was to undergo the body check, was accompanied by her half-sister Ly.
Meanwhile, the grand hall was becoming cramped.
Indeed, I believe it was the right decision to leave Astarotte, Eliza, Lara_Berze, Lili_Berze, and Lulu_Berze here.
And then, led by Ly, Francine entered.
Francine’s face was flushed crimson, and she seemed to be trembling with shame.
Ly, on the other hand, appeared relaxed.
Thank you for reading.
