Even though we defeated the Demon Lord, extreme enemies kept appearing within the castle.
The floor we arrived at was the formal staircase connecting the tenth and ninth floors.
(The area below is a plaza, and there they are, Vampire Boys.)
“Helen-san, please tame all of them.”
“Understood.”
“Then I will stop their movements one by one.”
“I’ll be the decoy.”
Mogunami lured the Vampire Boys, while Iwamoto-san captured them one by one with a sasumata, and Helen-san attempted to tame them. After several tries, they succeeded and moved on to the next one. This process was repeated, and successfully, eight tames were completed.
“After all, if we defeat the Demon Lord, we can tame his subordinates, right?”
“Ah, however, even if we defeat these, they don’t seem like they’ll turn into concentrated Dark Magic Stones.”
“Master, perhaps we can have a Lizardman or a Dwarf combine the eight Dark Magic Stones for us?”
Helen-san’s idea sounded interesting, but it would be a waste of these high-level (or perhaps mid-level?) undead that we managed to tame.
“We’ll discuss that later. Now, let’s head to the main target.”
And so, we arrived at the control room.
(Inside… Ah, Makide is trying to escape!)
“Helen-san, catch her!”
“Yes, Master.”
After capturing her securely once more, Makide drooped as if resigned.
“…What do you intend to do with me?”
“Helen-san, can you tame one more?”
“Well, if I release one Vampire Boy…”
The maximum number of tameable monsters I can control at once is eight, right? But even if I release them, they seem to respond to simple commands like “wait” or “follow.”
“Then the room above is treated the same as the Tim Monster Hut, you see.”
“Huh? Iwamoto-san, what do you mean?”
“Above the ladder, in that room, you can release them without any problems.”
As I was about to have them climb the ladder as instructed, Anju-chan teleported me and Helen-san. I’m saved. Then, only Helen-san came back down the ladder.
“Master, I’ll begin now.”
“N-No! I won’t become a human’s puppet! You’re going to do something terrible to me anyway, aren’t you, human there!”
“Huh? Me?!”
“Rest assured, Makide. Deles prefers suffering worse things than doing them sexually.”
(Stop it!!!)
“In any case, I don’t want to be tamed!!”
“Then give up. We’ll extract your magic stone in your current state.”
“D-Don’t do that either! Please! I’ll do anything!!”
Huh? Did you just say you’d do anything?
“Then be tamed, Helen.”
“Yes, Niina-sama.”
“Noooooooooooo!!!!!”
And so, Makide was successfully tamed by Helen-san.
“Now, Deles, with this, we can steal the magic stone anytime.”
“About that, I think we can use that one. Let’s return to the mansion for now.”
“Let’s go!”
And so, with Anju-chan’s teleportation, we returned to Zazam’s villa…
(Ah, Chigopas is hanging!)
The useless illusionist, looking like a tattered rag, was hanging from the ceiling, with Chigopas slowly rotating behind him.
“W-I’m not suited for actual combat!”
“Whoa, Niina-san and the others, welcome back.”
“Ah, we defeated the Demon Lord. We don’t have a magic stone, but instead, these guys…”
Looking around, Makide was there in a daze, but the other Vampire Boys didn’t seem to have teleported over.
“Should I recall them?”
“Yes, with Helen. Please do.”
“Roger, roger.”
“We’re leaving!”
It was a teleportation just for the two of them again. Oh, Iwamoto-san is coming too. The fact that we can travel back and forth to Luna Castle’s interior via teleportation is it because we defeated the Demon Lord, or was it possible before? Well, it doesn’t matter.
“Amari! I’m glad you’re safe!”
“Grandpa, I’m home!”
“You played a major role against the Seven Great Demon Lords.”
As aProxy.
“Sister!”
“Lyra, I’m sorry for worrying you.”
“Princess, ugh, I’m so glad.”
My sister and Mother are in tears.
“Everyone, shall we report at the Adventurer Guild?”
“Mogunami, that’s a good idea. And well done.”
“No, I’m also happy because my level seems to have gone up.”
Good, I received experience even when solo.
“We’ve returned.”
“Mangosteen means ‘Queen of Fruits’…”
“We have retrieved them.”
The eight Vampire Boys had indeed come over.
“Um, then, Anju-chan, um… No, maybe I should go too. If we’re bringing them, it’s just me and Anju-chan, right? Let’s go to Masuma Town.”
“Which way should we go?”
“Huh? Ah, that’s right. Then, by Teleportation Magic Circle?”
“Yeah, okay.”
For some reason, I ended up saving a Teleport Scroll.
(…And so we arrived safely.)
“I ended up following you.”
“Ah, I see. Anju-chan, please put me away.”
“Bye-bye baby.”
“Excuse us for now.”
This place is small. Apparently, they rented a hut for our private Teleportation Magic Circle. The door is sealed, and we can only enter and exit via Anju-chan’s teleportation.
“So, where should we go?”
“The Vampire House. Do you think we can teleport there?”
“Easy peasy. Here we go!”
Whoa, we’re on top of the castle roof!
(Now that I think about it, it’s already night.)
“Let’s peek.”
I also floated up and pressed myself against the window. Suddenly, from inside the Vampire House, a Vampire Kyun was also pressed against the window!
“Kyaaaaaaa!!”
I really surprised her. The carriage below was startled. This must be the one taking people away after an attraction just finished.
(She must have been watching that. Then, suddenly, we appeared.)
We teleported inside.
“Wh-What do you think you’re doing, suddenly appearing like that!”
“Um, excuse me, we have a small request.”
“Wait for Schmidt, who went to see you off!”
Ah, it’s about the butler.
(But let’s proceed with the conversation.)
“Um, actually, we conquered the Demon Lord’s Castle.”
“…Are you serious?”
“Yes. Makide-san, do you know about this?”
“She’s my junior, but I don’t really know her.”
She doesn’t.
“We tamed her. As for Makide-san.”
“…Eh? Are you serious about that too?!”
“So, we want to control the Demon Lord’s Castle, so please lend us your mother’s magic stone.”
Well, I hope this allows us to operate it.
