Thank you for reaching 10 million PVs!
We achieved 10 million PVs on April 16, 2018.
This is all thanks to the support of our readers, and we express our sincere gratitude.
Regarding the main story, we are reviewing the “Synopsis” and “Keywords.”
Additionally, we have posted a revised R15 version of Episode 0, “Seira: The Innocent Maiden Who Gave the Trigger,” as a short story on “Narou” to commemorate this achievement.
It was quite difficult to revise the R15 version because things like making Seira naked and leering at her seemed problematic.orz
For this short story, we have enabled all readers to post impressions.
Please feel free to use this as a place to post your commemorative messages, opinions, and impressions, whether you are logged in or not.

The Slave Trader’s Young Master – I aim at Princess Harem – 10 Million PV Achievement Commemoration [Narou Reincarnation Version]
https://ncode.syosetu.com/n9394er/
We, chasing after the kidnapped Lyushenne and Liliana, head towards the “Prison Tower” outside the city walls of Imman, a border town, and have just arrived at the unused underground stables.
Around us are the carriages that Lyushenne and Liliana escaped in yesterday, confirming this place as the enemy’s stronghold.
Furthermore, Lulu, the third daughter of the three Vampire sisters, says the smell of blood is so strong it makes her gag as she ascends the stairs.
We prepare for battle and cautiously begin to climb the stairs.
The only ones taking it exceptionally easy are the three Vampire sisters, who have fallen to become summoned beasts, and Miralca, who was formerly a Demonkin Vampire.
Even Sharon Hashishin, whom I had hired for a separate matter, is tense due to the unusual atmosphere, indicating the gravity of the scene.
“For the front, I’ll rely on Swan Hilda and Sister Shera. And for the rear, I’ll have Elise and Dietlinde. Everyone, don’t let your guard down! This is enemy territory!! Let’s head up the stairs.”
We form a line and cautiously ascend the stairs.
The stairs are illuminated by magical tools on the walls, providing good visibility, but the air is stagnant.
And, while not from Lulu’s description, I can sense a metallic smell of blood mixed in.
“Ugh!? Wh-what is this! How evil!!”
“Waaah, this is… worse than a Demonkin encampment!!”
The moment we opened the old door leading to the upper floor and entered the room, I and Swan Hilda let out screams that were almost cries.
The other party members seem to be speechless.
A coppery smell permeates the air, making us feel sick.
“How vulgar and tasteless… like a wild beast with no restraint.”
“Indeed… I don’t want to see bloodthirsty Vampires. Is that… a Primordial Vampire!? …We need to put her in her place.”
However, besides myself and Swan Hilda, there were others who could voice themselves.
These were Lulu of the three Vampire sisters and Miralca, who was formerly a Demonkin Vampire.
By the way, Rara and Lili were left to Lulu and were watching casually, as if in spectator mode.
“Ahem, ahem, the air is bad, yo. Those who worked too hard are resting, yo.”
Then, Holy Spirit Serena, who had apparently followed us invisibly, appeared, completing our party.
Holy Spirit Serena declared she needed rest after her exertions this morning and then vanished again.
Here, we take another look at the room we’ve arrived in.
At first glance, this room is designed to resemble an “Audience Chamber.”
It felt familiar, like a rehash of the situation with Yuliana and the three Vampire sisters.
Looking at Rara by the wall, she wore a sheepish expression.
Rara must have been thinking the same thing.
Though expensive carpets were laid out on the floor at the same level as the entrance we burst through, four “Iron Maidens” were installed along the wall, with blood dripping into basins placed beneath them.
This means those “Iron Maidens” were in operation, and it’s likely they contained the bodies of maidens.
Evidence of this was visible where part of the wall was tiled, and naked corpses of girls, their blood drained, were piled up carelessly.
Furthermore, a raised platform was situated at the back of the room, and on the throne-like structure in the center, a beautiful girl clad in a provocative, crimson evening dress sat with a radiant smile.
Her facial features and physique suggested she had just reached adulthood, but she exuded an aura of agelessness common to the three Vampire sisters.
It was probable… that this beautiful girl was not as young as she appeared.
Surrounding her were five burly men in black, her guards, and a stooped, butler-like old man who appeared to be their commander, all staring at us and ready for battle.
And as for Lyushenne and Liliana, they were stationed near the beautiful girl on the throne, clad in revealing latex dresses.
Moreover, blood was trickling from their necks, suggesting the beautiful girl had bitten them.
What’s worse, Lyushenne and Liliana didn’t seem to recognize us.
Their vacant eyes appeared solely focused on pleasing the beautiful girl.
“Master Hal, our opponent is a Primordial Vampire. It’s likely Lyushenne-sama and Liliana-sama have had their blood drained and turned into her kin.”
Miralca reported this to me, her gaze poignant as she looked at Tirna.
“Miralca, what should we do?”
“That woman… is probably newly turned and bloodthirsty. That’s why she’s seeking blood indiscriminately. She drained Lyushenne-sama and Liliana-sama’s blood to make them her kin. If we eliminate her immediately, they should be freed from the blood curse, but she’s a formidable opponent. If it were the true Primordial Vampire I once was, she’d be nothing, but… it’s frustrating.”
“Hmph, it seems some moths have strayed into the Hall of Thrones~. With my mercy, I shall annihilate you! And your blood shall be put to good use!!”
As Miralca and I were caught in a desperate conversation, the beautiful girl on the throne ordered her subordinates to defeat us.
“Everyone, commence combat! They are formidable opponents, don’t let your guard down!!”
I announced the start of combat to the party members.
“Even though I kindly let them go… they’re foolish. Kill them! Princess, this is my mistake for being lenient. I’ll dispose of them right away.”
As the stooped old man gave the order, the five men in black lunged at us simultaneously.
Like the beautiful girl, they seemed to be Demonkin, their canines peeking out from their mouths as they slobbered and attacked.
Moreover, they had whip-like tails growing from their buttocks.
Lyushenne and Liliana currently showed no abnormalities, but they might become Demonkin if left like this.
“They’re not part of the Demon King’s Army… but there are Demonkin here! How cowardly!!”
Seeing the black-clad men attacking, Swan Hilda cursed.
As the only daughter of Demon King Gandaro, she seemed to have a lot on her mind.
“Ah, it matters not! They are merely fodder for my Fire Spirit Magic.”
“I can also fight to my heart’s content. I hope some scraps fall to Eria as well.”
“Elise-sama, please spare some prey for me too.”
On the other hand, despite the battle having begun, Dietlinde, Elise, and Eria grinned confidently.
Of course, Sister Shera, Edelea, and Mai were also quietly burning with fighting spirit.
“Ughhhhhh…!”
The next instant, three of the five Demonkin who lunged at us burst into flames in mid-air, letting out their death cries. By the time they landed, they had turned to ash.
This was likely due to the fire attribute magic of Elise and Sister Shera, and Dietlinde’s Fire Spirit Magic.
“Ascend to heaven!”
“Gaaaaahhh…!”
【【Water Cutter】】
“Gyahhhhhh…!”
The moment after, of the remaining two Demonkin, one was split in two from head to toe by Swan Hilda’s longsword, and the last one was reduced to meat by the water blade cast by Eria.
In short, the preliminary battle was a complete rout.
Only the beautiful girl on the throne and the stooped old man remained.
However, it would be troublesome if Lyushenne and Liliana, who had been turned into the beautiful girl’s kin, were to attack us.
*Whoosh, Slash*
“Ugh…!”
As I was thinking this, a chakram flew from behind and severed the old man’s head.
It seemed Edelea had also been stealthily targeting her prey.
Now, the only clear enemy remaining was the beautiful Vampire girl on the throne.
“Who in the world are you!”
I inquired about the beautiful girl’s identity again.
“My name is Alma Bartley Dela Elgerblard, the great Primordial Vampire. You seem arrogant after defeating my hastily made subordinates, but once I establish my throne, all you riff-raff will be quickly sacrificed. How about it, if you receive my blood and become my kin, I shall forgive you.”
Alma, holding up a wine glass filled with blood, made a seemingly merciful offer of surrender.
Though intoxicated by blood, she looked down on us with a dismissive attitude.
In other words, she carried herself like a queen.
Alma was supposed to be a 30-year-old woman and a mother of one…
Her appearance was far too youthful.
As I thought this, I remembered the three Vampire sisters in their child forms and understood.
Perhaps she had rejuvenated by consuming a large amount of maiden’s blood?
“Waaah, how vulgar. A Vampire obsessed with blood! So vulgar! No discrimination… you should savor and drink delicious blood…”
“I agree, Sister Miralca. Acting indiscriminately for blood is something a child does ♪”
It was Miralca who dismissed Alma’s grand pronouncements.
According to Miralca, attacking prey indiscriminately out of a thirst for blood is characteristic of a newcomer starving for blood.
And Lulu confirmed this, didn’t she?
“Hehehehe, I can fight, but there would be no contest. First, let Lyushenne, the Fourth Imperial Princess, and Liliana, the First Imperial Princess, who have become my kin, face you~. You, eliminate these enemies for me!”
Alma seemed to know Lyushenne and Liliana’s origins.
They were originally from a marquis family in the Wahl Imperial Kingdom, so she likely knew them from social gatherings.
That must be why she became fixated on them.
Still, as expected from Lyushenne and Liliana’s homeland, there was no room for complacency.
“For Lady Alma!”
“Our swords are for Lady Alma!”
Following Alma’s command, Lyushenne and Liliana took rapiers displayed on the wall and discarded their scabbards.
I had thought it necessary to be cautious since Lyushenne was a master rapier user, but Liliana, who usually looked timid, also seemed capable.
Was this a side effect of becoming Alma’s kin!?
The next moment, Lyushenne and Liliana, pointing the tips of their rapiers at us, attacked.
“No one but I can handle Lyushenne.”
*Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang*
Dietlinde drew the rapier she wore at her hip.
Lyushenne and Dietlinde had honed their rapier skills against each other, so a balanced match began once again.
The fight between the two, known as rapier masters, was a graceful dance like a sword ballet.
They darted freely around the room, occasionally thrusting their rapiers at each other, or crossing blades.
Each time, a clear metallic sound echoed throughout the room.
“Hahahahaha, my chest feels light. Here, here, here, here!”
“Lyushenne, wake up!”
Liliana, who came attacking slightly after Lyushenne, was faced by Swan Hilda, who had moved to the front as a vanguard.
Swan Hilda’s weapon was a longsword, heavier than a rapier.
The longsword appeared to have bloodstains from when she bisected the black-clad Demonkin earlier.
Swan Hilda swung her longsword with one hand—*Whoosh*—flicking off the bloodstains and assuming a stance.
“Hohohoho, I feel refreshed!”
“This is difficult for me. Liliana, pull yourself together.”
On the other hand, Liliana seemed to be enhanced by becoming Alma’s kin.
With a rapid series of sharp thrusts, Swan Hilda was forced onto the defensive.
If I were allowed to cut down enemies, I could probably cleave through her rapier along with her, but she was our comrade.
“It seems you cannot defeat my kin~. This is interesting… Hehehehe.”
Alma watched this unfold from her throne, leisurely finishing the blood in her wine glass.
Her expression of pleasure made her look nothing like a 30-year-old woman.
Due to the Demonkinization, or rather, the Vampire transformation, she had become young again, like a teenage girl.
In a way, had Alma succeeded in her pursuit of rejuvenation?
Meanwhile, since we couldn’t defeat Lyushenne and Liliana, the situation was becoming troublesome.
“What a delightful spectacle! Lyushenne Silveria Wahl, known as the ‘Beautiful Princess of Ice and Flames,’ and Liliana Emilia Yangas, known as the ‘Melancholy Blue Moon Princess,’ have become my kin! Ku ku ku ku ku!”
Alma seemed exceedingly pleased.
It was highly likely that Lyushenne and Liliana, having become Alma’s kin, had their physical abilities boosted as well.
Furthermore, as time passed, the Vampire blood would likely become ingrained in their bodies, making a complete recovery impossible. Was there any clever strategy?
I re-examined the surrounding situation and the special skills of my companions, but found no decisive blow.
For now, Dietlinde and Swan Hilda were holding their ground, but it was easy to imagine them being pushed into a disadvantage as time passed, and this was Alma’s insidious plan.
Thank you for reading.
