“I am praying for the success of your journey from the shadows. Alicia, I leave the report to Princess Elizabeth. And to Ly and Liliana, I ask for your continued kindness to the Count Elgerblard Family.”
“I will also help with Mamiya’s rehabilitation to the best of my ability. Ly, I once again ask for your support in the revival of the Einback Count Family.”
“Thank you all very much. I will do my best to meet Ly’s expectations.”
“Provisional Count Elgerblard, Eringye, and Mamiya. Thank you for seeing us off. On behalf of ‘Princess Harem,’ I pray for your health and happiness. I’m sure Ly and Liliana won’t treat you badly.”
” “Yes, of course. Hal.” ”
Once again, we, the entourage of “Princess Harem,” departed from the castle gate on the old Wahl Imperial Kingdom side of Elgerblard Castle.
At that time, Provisional Count Elgerblard, Miss Eringye, and Mamiya saw us off with regret.
This time, after passing through the border town of Imman, we set out towards the next town, Ribidoon.
Divided into two two-horse carriages, we headed directly for the town of Ribidoon via the main road.
This time, without any detours, we passed through the castle town of Imman via the main road and exited the castle gate. Beyond that, it was a dense jungle covered in green, with only the main road extending forward.
The main road on the old Wahl Imperial Kingdom side, in the vicinity of Imman, was also a continuous dense jungle.
This jungle was said to be home to dangerous wild and magical beasts, and to be plagued by deadly diseases, making it difficult for even seasoned adventurers to traverse.
Beyond the jungle, we passed through varied landscapes of rolling hills, wastelands, and grasslands.
The horses pulling the carriages appeared to be in good spirits, their tails swaying rhythmically.
It seemed the horses were aware that they had passed a dangerous area.
Along the main road, the scenery gradually changed into a peaceful rural landscape with orchards and fields, indicating human cultivation.
It was a stark reminder that the border town of Imman was an island isolated by a natural fortress known as the “green wall.”
The main road was a paved road with cobblestones and drainage ditches on the sides.
The road was wide enough for carriages to pass each other with ease, but there were also many people traveling on foot, so we could not increase our speed.
Currently, I am controlling the carriage at the front.
And beside me on the driver’s seat sat Astarotte.
Incidentally, “Lili” was sitting on my lap.
As “Princess Harem” is all women except me, it would be more comfortable to have someone else drive, but the current situation where even the driver’s seat is overflowing with women is a headache.
I would have preferred to have some male companions, but it was obvious that the introduction of such an anomaly would disrupt the precarious balance of our current situation.
By the way, Eria was driving the carriage behind, and Elise was sitting beside her.
The climate was warm, but the sky was cloudy.
And Holy Spirit Serena seemed to be perched on Elise’s shoulder.
“Hal, it’s so peaceful. It would be perfect if those pesky pests weren’t here…”
Astarotte, sitting next to me, casually approached and rested her head on my body.
It was a little annoying, but I felt Astarotte’s warmth and a sweet scent peculiar to girls.
“She’s an annoying succubus. It’s tactless of you to interfere with my honeymoon with Master Harem. You lecherous, rotten whore!!”
“Why don’t you, a child vampire, go back to your elder sister with your ass stuffed in the air? Love is too early for children! You, with your cobweb-covered, antique cunt!!”
“You! Don’t insult us noble beings!!”
“W-what did you say?! Are you going to fight me!?”
” “Uguuuu…” ” >
While I focused on driving, Astarotte, a former lower demon succubus, and “Lili,” a mid-rank demon vampire, started arguing.
Apparently, they were originally fighting companions, and that relationship remained strong.
However… the content of their conversation was too trivial.
Of course, in the past, the three vampire sisters used to bully Astarotte unilaterally, but now Astarotte had gained the upper hand and could tease the vampire sisters.
It seemed that being implanted with “Seiken-gan” in her uterus and being fixed in a child form with most of her vampire abilities restricted was quite a blow.
“Hal, we’ve finally reached the former Wahl Imperial Kingdom territory. I’m sure Barberu and Zolgelge are plotting something. Shouldn’t we prepare the little girls for kamikaze attacks at any time? After all, they are disposable, so I think it’s important to treat them without getting emotionally attached.”
“Master Harem, this wicked succubus needs to be punished. It is unthinkable to use lovely beings like us for kamikaze attacks. It would be more meaningful to use the incompetent former succubus as a pawn.”
“W-what did you say?! As a human, I am a formal member of ‘Princess Harem.’ What are you saying, you disposable summoned beast?”
“Master Harem wouldn’t use adorable and cute girls like us for something like that, would you?”
And once again, their usual comedic banter began.
In reality, Astarotte disliked the idea of the vampire sisters sacrificing themselves due to their shared homeland, but she was likely deeply afraid of Barberu and Zolgelge.
On the other hand, the vampire sisters were well aware that their fate was in our hands and were doing their best to appease me.
For now, there were no signs of the vampire sisters causing trouble, and I was content with the current situation.
It was a stroke of luck that the vampire sisters did not need to prey on anyone for the time being, as “Lili” had defeated former Countess Alma in the Prison Tower and absorbed the vast energy she had accumulated.
Also, I was sensing something like black mist from the trailing carriage.
The source of this was likely Elise and Holy Spirit Serena.
One was the maiden princess, the key to the barrier between the Demon Realm and the Human Realm, and the other was the world’s only Holy Spirit, created by gathering Holy Element Spirits. However, when I glanced at them during the last break, they were both wearing black smiles.
What on earth were they planning?
Moreover, new problems kept arising, giving me a stomach ache.
In my past life, Cardinal Lester innocently dreamed of building a harem, but now that it had become a reality, I had to consider their future, and the responsibility weighing on my shoulders was by no means light.
“Master Harem! I’m getting a chill. It’s an ominous feeling, like something terrifying is approaching.”
As the carriage was running, “Lili,” who had been playfully interacting with Astarotte until just now, suddenly clung to my body.
Moreover, she was trembling with a pale face.
“What’s wrong, “Lili”? Your face is as white as a sheet.”
“My, my, how could a mid-rank demon vampire like you show such a pathetic sight? What on earth is happening?”
Meanwhile, Astarotte, while surprised by “Lili’s” sudden change, did not forget to make a sarcastic remark.
“Even after changing your race to human, you’re still so incompetent, Astarotte, that you can’t sense this terrifying aura.”
“W-what did you say!!”
While clinging to me, “Lili” did not forget to retort sarcastically to Astarotte.
After a while, we saw a person standing by the roadside, waving with both hands.
At first glance, the other party seemed to be a female adventurer. Her long blonde hair, blowing in the wind, and the cloak on her back gave her a distinguished air.
She had a large sword at her waist, but my gaze was fixed on her attire.
The beautiful female adventurer waving at us was wearing bright red bikini armor.
She exuded mature feminine charm, and as she moved her hands, her red bikini top bounced rhythmically.
It was so exceptionally alluring that it was almost heavenly, and I could say it was a feast for my eyes.
In other words, it was a scene of a stranger, a beautiful woman, waving at us.
“Hiiiieeeeee~~, it came outtt! I… I don’t want to die yetttttt!!”
However, upon seeing the female adventurer in question, “Lili” began begging for her life with tears in her eyes.
The other party appeared to be a female adventurer of supreme beauty, but “Lili” had never been so terrified before.
Currently, while obedient as Kirika’s summoned beast, “Lili” was undeniably a demon…
I decided to maintain a cautious approach.
“Heyyyy~~, stop~~.”
As the carriage got closer, we could hear the other person’s voice, asking us to stop our carriage.
Nevertheless, the female adventurer’s voice was as clear and pleasant as the ringing of bells, a musical and mysterious tone that I couldn’t quite describe.
In contrast, “Lili” foamed at the mouth and fainted.
What kind of situation was this?
Hee hee hee, hee hee hee
I tightened the reins and applied the brakes to the two horses, and soon the carriage came to a halt.
The carriage behind was also skillfully stopped by Eria, the driver.
“Phew~~. It seems we’ve managed to stop. It’s been a while~, Hal Raymond-dono, no, Hal Harem von Remond, as you renamed yourself.”
Then, the mysterious beauty spoke to me familiarly.
“Ah, who are you!? Who might you be?”
“Raymond, why so distant… I am Flist. I have business with my youngest sister, Swan Hilda.”
It turned out the other party was Flist, Swan Hilda’s Valkyrie sister.
However, if she had been in her light armor as a Valkyrie, I could have recognized her identity at a glance…
But disguised as a female adventurer in revealing bikini armor, I hadn’t recognized her.
