The man was sleeping soundly, satisfied with the women’s intercourse.
He woke up in a panic and, instead of glaring at the Tanuki Chimera I was possessing, he turned his gaze to the women.
“……”
An awkward silence filled the air.
I ignored the man and focused my consciousness outside the barrier, which I assumed had been weakened due to their orgy.
The Tanuki Chimera had low possessed magic power.
It’s important to store as much magic power as possible in the large tree for escape, just in case.
The Tanuki Chimera seemed to be for something with the man. Even if it broke, it had little possessed magic power anyway.
I’ll use the magic power of the vessel body I’m in to create a barrier that can’t be detected from the outside.
It’s probably because its magic power supply was cut off by indulging in pleasure from the female bodies.
Monsters of black shadows were slowly approaching us.
I don’t know if all the monsters in this world are like these guys.
If they dare to lay a hand on my women, I’ll defeat them.
And I’ll take their possessed magic power within their bodies.
If they’re killed, the magic power will disperse into the air. If I capture them alive, I’ll drain their magic power with parasitic roots.
“Grrrrrr”
“……”
“……”
Two monsters attacked from the bushes with a rustling sound.
I watched from the surrounding trees and prepared to intercept them.
Three Tanuki bites.
“-nn! ”
The remaining bite tore through the black shadows that made up the limbs of one of the monsters.
The monsters were two sizes smaller than my Tanuki Chimera.
If they escape, I’ll have to switch to using my roots to catch them.
Switching consumes magic power.
I want to take away their mobility if possible, though.
I don’t have good luck. The monster’s lost limbs extended shadows from its body and reformed. It thrashed and struck the Tanuki’s face I was holding in my mouth, scratching it.
My mouth was damaged from fighting adventurers. It slipped out when it thrashed.
There was no other way. I gave up on draining its magic power and tore the monster’s torso in two.
The Tanuki’s jaw made creaking sounds, but I didn’t care and used my biting muscles to their fullest to kill the monster.
“-…”
The shadows that made up the monster’s body dispersed like mist. What remained was magic sand, about the size of grains of sand?
Upon investigation. A faint amount of magic power resided within.
I poured the magic power, which did not match the effort spent killing the two monsters, into the large tree. I did this by sucking magic power from the magic sand with parasitic roots. It was instantaneous. An extremely small amount. Probably only enough magic power to ignite a spark.
How do the residents of this world interact with monsters?
Do they ignore the small ones? Or do they cultivate them?
Or is encountering them rare?
Will my method of impersonating a monster to get women work out?
Rustle.
Oh, another new monster.
“……”
“Gaaaa-”
If all the monsters in this area come, the ecosystem will be thrown off balance, won’t it?
Larger monsters are naturally stronger than these (small monsters). Their possessed magic power is attractive, but I want to avoid attracting a large-scale subjugation by adventurers for now. Haaa… Shall I speed up the growth of the meat (the soulless fetus) by defeating a few people? Ah, if the man doesn’t have the information I want, it will be a waste of women.
Tomorrow, I’ll confirm those things with the man.
When I returned, the man was using the women as a blanket and sleeping soundly.
Did he feel safe because I was gone? Or did he fall asleep feeling secure from the unique pheromones of the women he was holding? Or was it a feigned sleep until I went to sleep? Oh, my body is a Tanuki. And feigned sleep, what a joke! …Right, I’ll sleep. Making jokes alone is depressing.
“…Zz”
“…(Is he asleep?)”
(He won’t escape… will he? This is deep in the forest, in the middle ground. Night is when monsters become active. I’m not sure if I can reach the village safely alone. The “[Water Surface]” has disbanded. If that were all, it would be fine. But if someone suspects I used my other allies as decoys, I’ll be on the G-class (trash class). If I’m going to run, I need to secure my safety properly. The monster made me kill someone today. Something bigger… a raid on the village, should happen. At that time, if I perform so well that the villagers can’t complain or suspect me, I’ll be free. Absolutely. I will absolutely not die a pathetic death like that (leader)!)
“… z… *sniffle, sniffle*”
“……”
It seems it was indeed a feigned sleep. But he didn’t run away.
I don’t know what he was thinking, but this time he’s really asleep.
I detached from the Tanuki Chimera.
I’ll make today’s schedule until morning.
Chirp chirp…♪
The man wakes up to the chirping of birds.
As an Astral Body, I don’t need to sleep.
Thanks to that, I decided on today’s plan before the sun even peeked out.
It’s a heartbreaking decision, but I’ve made it. The woman with the most advanced fetal development will be sacrificed, along with dozens of other women, as sacrifices (nutrients for growth promotion).
“Boom! Coooon! ”
“Good morning. Please don’t roar so close. I’m begging you. (You think I’m going to be eaten! A refreshing awakening is what I need! Damn it, when I raid the village, I’ll take your life…) ”
The man had the same reaction as yesterday with my face as the Tanuki Chimera.
As long as he’s scared, he won’t run away, right? I need to be careful, but today I have more important plans than the man. Well, while feeding the man nuts for breakfast, I need to select the women to be sacrificed…
Haaaaa. I don’t want to do it, but if I don’t, I’ll fail again.
The first women, candidates for sacrifice, are still the women sleeping on the trees who haven’t gotten pregnant yet.
I hope that’s enough.
“Gori gori. Gulp. Chew chew…? Gulp. Chew chew…?”
The man, munching on what looked like an apple, felt my gaze as I, the Tanuki Chimera, felt a strange look from him wondering why I wasn’t eating breakfast.
More importantly, I need to gather information from the man.
It’s certain that the man came from a nearby village.
I need to ascertain the village’s combat power and population.
I definitely want information about beautiful women.
“No, that’s not right.” “Hmm, not like that.”
Gesturing like that, I asked while having breakfast, and the result was: the village was a village, as expected. You could even call it rural. The adventurers were about the same level as the man. With retired ones, there were nearly 50. He said there were no beautiful women. They’re only at the level of the man’s female companions.
What the heck! My motivation is dropping.
It seems I’ve also abducted all the smaller women.
There’s no value in raiding the village…
The only solace is that there seems to be a town or city beyond one mountain. It’s certain that there’s a combat force several times, or even ten times, larger than the village.
In terms of a strategy game, I’m the villainous protagonist reviving the Demon King’s army. The soldiers are just the man, and the weapons are multiple adventurers. Food is obtained by rapidly growing trees with my possession ability and harvesting them, and by creating things with my possessed magic power.
Yes, I can become the Demon King. It’s common for the Demon King to demand beautiful women from all over the world as sacrifices to various countries.
Should I follow that Demon King’s example?
