“I can’t believe Valkyries are attacking from all directions!” -> “From all directions,”
“Hiihihih… W-Valkyries!!”
However, Astarotte, sensing Flist’s true identity, screamed and fainted just like “Lili”.
Then, a shameful stain spread across Astarotte’s crotch.
It seemed Astarotte had wet herself at the same time she fainted.
“Hmm. What rude little girls… Huh! Th-this one is a dirty demon vampire! The girl next to her looks like a normal human, but I can faintly smell demon. Should we exterminate them? Raymond?”
“No… Astarotte, who fainted next to me, is indeed a succubus of lower demon rank, but she has repented and undergone a class change to human, rendering her harmless, so there’s no need to exterminate her.”
I explained Astarotte’s true identity and cast “Washing” magic on her to clean the embarrassing stain.
“Is that so… However, the little girl clinging to you and fainting is undoubtedly a demon subject to extermination. Still, fainting is pathetic.”
“I humbly report to Flist. This ‘Lili’ is indeed a vampire of intermediate demon rank, but the Seiken-gan has been implanted in Lili’s uterus, and she has fallen to Kirika, a party member, as a summoned beast. Furthermore, if necessary, I intend to use the Seiken-gan to self-destruct, so there’s no need to exterminate her.”
“So her fate is already in your hands. This is amusing. Understood. I shall leave the girl’s life to Raymond.”
Somehow, my explanation managed to save Astarotte and ‘Lili’.
“Flist, thank you for your understanding. By the way, ‘Lili’ is the second daughter, and her elder sister ‘Lala’ and third daughter ‘Ruru’ have also undergone similar procedures and are waiting nearby as summoned beasts.”
“Hmm, I understand. But did you devise these wicked treatments for them?”
“No, it was thanks to the advice of Holy Spirit Serena, who is in the following carriage.”
“Wh-what! That one, sealed for many years, has been released!”
Did I mess up a bit?
When I explained about Holy Spirit Serena, Flist looked extremely surprised.
Then, in the next moment, Flist’s figure flickered for an instant, and in the next moment, Holy Spirit Serena was being held.
“What!? What is this? I, I…?”
Holy Spirit Serena, suddenly brought here, seemed utterly confused.
Held in Flist’s hands, she couldn’t even move her neck.
“It has been a long time, Serena. I never thought I’d meet you here. I shall properly send you off.”
“G-gegege! Y-you’re Flist of the Valkyries, aren’t you? How dare you restrain me!”
“Gugugu…”
“It hurts, it hurts! F-Flist, please spare me. Please let me go!”
Holy Spirit Serena and Valkyrie Flist seemed to know each other.
On the other hand, the two seemed to be sworn enemies.
And, as usual, Holy Spirit Serena was about to be decapitated.
Normally, Dietlinde would be the one to do it, but when facing Flist, Holy Spirit Serena immediately showed a subservient attitude.
“You impudent and wicked Serena! You’d be better off beheaded and returned to the swarm of Holy Element Spirits; it would benefit the human world more.”
“P-please. I’ll tell you my top-secret information. It’s valuable enough to buy my life.”
“You’re a disgrace as a Holy Spirit! Behead yourself and decompose quickly!”
“I-I don’t want to! If you don’t hear my information, you’ll regret it.”
“Then… tell me before you’re beheaded.”
“My… information is… that Hal has awakened to Elixir.”
“Wh-what!!”
“Elixir has lost its ability to impregnate humans, but it can impregnate gods. Flist should want to be impregnated too!”
“Is it true? Can Raymond really make Elixir? That art should have been lost… To lie to save your own life, you’re truly pathetic. There’s even less reason to let you live.”
“The Seiken-gan implanted in the uterus of the vampire unconscious here was refined by that using Hal’s Elixir as raw material.”
Then, seizing a moment when Flist’s restraint loosened, Holy Spirit Serena escaped and vanished, becoming invisible.
“Th-this is unforgivable… to be escaped by such a mischievous spirit!”
Flist, having allowed Holy Spirit Serena to escape, stamped her foot.
Meanwhile, Astarotte and ‘Lili’, who had fainted, briefly woke up but decided to feign sleep, as if to say, “best not to stir up trouble.”
With their abilities as demons diminished or even erased, Valkyries, the natural enemies of demons, seemed to be terrifying beings.
“Come out, you demons hiding there. Or this little girl will blow up!”
“We won’t resist, so please spare us!”
“Me too…”
Flist, who had been stamping her foot, suddenly changed her expression to a sharp one and called out towards the bushes along the Main Road.
Then, ‘Lala’ and ‘Ruru’ appeared, holding up their hands in surrender.
Their complexions were also pale and they were trembling.
But they couldn’t abandon their precious sister ‘Lili’, could they?
“Hmph! How insignificant! To encounter demons like this… and not be able to kill them satisfyingly!”
“Elder Sister! And Lulu_Berze!”
” ” “We don’t want to die!” ” ”
‘Lili’, separated from me, rejoined her sisters and wept as they embraced.
This was the moment they truly realized that Valkyries were their natural enemies.
On the other hand, Flist also seemed frustrated at not being able to defeat the demons she had found.
“Noh, Raymond… I shall ask for your company tonight. See if you can successfully impregnate me.”
“F-Flist, that… recently, I’ve had a lot of use for Elixir, and my Holy Aura is running low.”
“…Indeed, it seems so. How disappointing. I shall return when my Holy Aura is replenished! Raymond, be sure to build it up!”
“–Understood… Thank you, Flist. By the way, what was the reason for your visit?”
“Ah, yes. My business is to retrain my foolish sister, Swan Hilda.”
“Swan Hilda?”
“Yes. Originally, I had no intention of having my immature sister fight demons. Her role was to call us when she discovered demons, and I had given her a certain item. However, given the circumstances so far, it seems my foolish sister might directly engage in combat with demons. So, we thought it would be a good opportunity to provide strict guidance; it’s sisterly love.”
As Flist spoke eloquently and heatedly, Swan Hilda stealthily disembarked from the passenger car of the following carriage and tried to flee.
Upon learning that Flist’s purpose for descending was training for combat against demons, Swan Hilda unintentionally tried to escape.
Swan Hilda, who had quietly gotten off the carriage, moved by crawling towards the bushes off the Main Road.
Meanwhile, Eria, who was the coachman, pretended to not notice, and Elise, sitting next to her, watched with a pitying expression.
“…Do you think you can escape from us, my foolish sister!”
*Snap*
Flist smiled wryly and snapped her fingers.
Then, two more Valkyrie elder sisters descended from thin air, clad in light armor.
I believe… the elder sister with long silver hair was Mist, and the one with light blonde hair was Geilel.
The three Valkyrie elder sisters, including Flist, were the ones who descended when Princess Jumilande awakened as Swan Hilda.
“Noooooo~~ I hate hellish trainingggggg~~”
“It’s impossible to escape from us, isn’t it? You’re embarrassing.”
“Swan Hilda, we’re going to have fun, fun training♪ Give up.”
“Ehhhhh… Noooooo~~”
Then, Swan Hilda, who was easily captured, was embraced by Mist and Geilel from both sides and took flight.
It seems the so-called hellish training will take place in the ‘Garden of the Gods’ where Valkyries dwell.
That ‘Garden of the Gods’ belongs to the heavenly realm, not hell…
Swan Hilda’s pained screams echoed as she was taken away.
“Now, the mission is complete. Raymond, thank you for your trouble. Leave my foolish sister’s leveling up to me. Raymond, make sure to build up your Holy Aura.”
Meanwhile, Flist lightly kicked off the ground and followed Swan Hilda and the others, who were already flying ahead.
Her attire had also changed from a crimson bikini armor to Valkyrie light armor at some point.
“Phew, that was close…”
“I thought I was going to die.”
“I can’t believe Valkyries are attacking from all directions!”
“I was scared too.”
Next to me, the three vampire sisters and Astarotte were trembling.
“I had a terrible time too. I’ll get back at that brute Flist someday!”
Then, Holy Spirit Serena, who seemed quite angry, became visible again and landed on my shoulder.
Still, the descent of the Elder Valkyries was like a storm.
“Speaking of which, Serena…”
“Wh-what is it?”
“You spilled my secret again.”
“I-I’m innocent! It’s not my fault! It’s Flist’s fault!! …Uh, I just remembered an urgent matter.”
Then, Holy Spirit Serena, who flew off my shoulder again, became invisible and fled.
However, to lose Swan Hilda, the strongest force of the ‘Princess Harem’, at this timing…
While I’m happy Swan Hilda will level up, there’s a concern of being attacked by demons during this opening.
