My party members, led by “Princess Harem,” and I, Hal Harem Von Raymond, found ourselves tagging along with Baron Shuze Nikolai Von Hylandora, the provisional governor dispatched from the Espana Imperial Kingdom at Miss Myare Popais’s request. Our mission was to free the Baron from the clutches of gluttony and lust. With Myare’s guidance, we infiltrated the Former Lord’s Mansion where Baron Hylandora was conducting his official duties.
We had already defeated Pull Pluun, a Lycanthrope and leader of the Demonic Milk religion, and Tsun Tsetsen, a Centicore and leader of the Pure and Small Breasts religion. However, their organized movements suggested an ulterior motive and likely a mastermind behind them.
The two religious organizations had clearly been collaborating, and their organizational structures were fundamentally similar, leading us to believe they were being manipulated by the same hidden antagonist. We suspected that a self-proclaimed merchant, Marmo Mamot, who had allegedly ingratiated himself with Baron Hylandora, was the culprit.
Based on this assumption, upon entering the reception room where Baron Hylandora was working, we found him corrupted and in the presence of a brownished naked beauty connected to him. This beauty, who called herself Bloody Rose, was revealed to be Miss Roselitte Floral de la Romanelle, who had been publicly beheaded by the Espana Imperial Army.
Roselitte’s disfigured corpse was given a semblance of life by Zolgelge, a Necromancer, who turned her into a “living doll.” Later, Barbarbel, a High-ranking Demon and the leader of the invasion force in the human realm, personally infused her with miasma. The miasma not only dyed her skin brown and twisted her hair and eyes into something menacing but also transformed the 13-year-old Roselitte into a seductive beauty.
Ultimately, thanks to an Elixir of extreme purity created with the Holy Aura bestowed by Holy Spirit Serena, Miss Roselitte was resurrected to her former self. However, we found ourselves surrounded by demons within the Former Lord’s Mansion.
The information about the approaching danger was delivered by Holy Spirit Serena, who had returned to her fairy form.
“Serena, do you know the enemy’s numbers?”
“There are eight demons, yo!”
“Eight demons! This is serious! And where are they?”
“They are waiting for us in the plaza in front of the main entrance. They are overconfident due to their numbers.”
“I see… It’s unlikely they’ll let us retreat unharmed. The underground escape route is like a labyrinth without Myare’s guidance… So, a direct confrontation seems most probable? Still… it’s a blow that Swan Hilda is missing!”
I glanced at Myare, who was lying on the floor of the reception room. It seemed she would need some time before regaining consciousness.
“Yes, Master Harem. The enemy commander likely intends to kill us, avenge their fallen comrades, and present us as a gift to Barbarbel. If they succeed, their promotion to their commander’s immediate circle is probably assured. Therefore… we must annihilate them.”
As I received the report from Holy Spirit Serena, the three Vampire sisters approached. The eldest, Lara_Berze, shared her assessment. For the Vampire sisters, abandoned as pawns, the other demons were now recognized as enemies. This was likely bolstered by their permission to survive in the human realm, granted by the High God Clan and Goddess of Light, Lucialurei.
“They’re in a desperate situation too, aren’t they? I suppose they intend to settle this with a full-scale war. It’s likely all the demons who were hiding in this city of Ribidoon are gathered here. Yet, when it was us, we were treated like disposable pawns… Their response is completely different. To survive, as Lara_Berze says, we must annihilate them without mercy. This battle is what you might call a mid-boss fight.”
“We’ve already defeated Pull Pluun the Lycanthrope and Tsun Tsetsen the Centicore… so they won’t let us off the hook. The Demon Realm, where demons live, is an extremely harsh environment; they can only survive by sticking together with their kin. So, if a family member is defeated, the retaliation will be fierce. If my sisters were harmed, I would have done the same. This battle is, so to speak, a touchstone. It’s a fight we cannot avoid if we are to live in the human realm.”
Lili_Berze and Lulu_Berze echoed Lara_Berze’s sentiments. The Vampire sisters, though having already secured permission from the Divine Realm to live in the human realm, seemed to recognize the possibility of death in battle. They appeared to be quietly brimming with fighting spirit to survive.
“I… I’m scared. The enemy commander is undoubtedly a genuine mid-ranking demon. And that commander is an even higher-ranking being than us, the Vampire sisters, who are merely pseudo mid-ranking demons.”
“W-what did you say! I refuse to believe that, Astarotte!”
“It’s the truth, isn’t it? Originally, vampires were at the very bottom of the mid-ranking demons, barely above lower-ranking demons. Wasn’t I right? Being treated as disposable pawns clearly illustrates this… Truth can be cruel sometimes.”
“…”
“Hal, I don’t want to die… Death… is scary…”
At this point, Astarotte, a former Succubus and low-ranking demon, clung to me with tears in her eyes, spewing venom. Lara_Berze immediately narrowed her eyes and glared at Astarotte, retorting fiercely. Normally, a heated exchange would ensue between Astarotte and the Vampire sisters, but Astarotte seemed genuinely terrified. The Vampire sisters, on the other hand, seemed to be grinding their teeth in frustration, realizing Astarotte had hit a sore spot. Observing their reactions, it was clear the enemy awaiting us would be formidable.
“Heh. Eight demons have appeared! Hal, is it okay to use forbidden magic? I want to unleash it with a bang!”
As the Vampire sisters and Astarotte were somberly planning their survival, Elise, the sub-leader of “Princess Harem,” approached with a daring smile. With the ease of casual conversation, she requested permission to use forbidden magic.
“Using forbidden magic is out of the question. This Former Lord’s Mansion is in the center of Ribidoon city, so the surrounding damage would be immense. However, depending on the situation, it may be unavoidable. I’ll leave it to your judgment on the scene, but make a sensible decision!”
“I want to blast them away with forbidden magic too! The demons are targeting my fox tail, so I’ll instantly kill them like Elise and Freya!”
“As a proud High Elf, I cannot accept turning my back on the enemy. The point is that we should be mindful of the surrounding impact, correct?”
Following Elise, Shera and Dietlinde also insisted on using forbidden magic. It seemed “Princess Harem” was strangely filled with hot-blooded individuals… While it might be because they were not allowed to show weakness since childhood as royalty or royalty, the truth remains shrouded in mystery.
“Everyone, let’s move to the first-floor entrance and assess the enemy directly.”
“Right, Ly.”
Leaving Myare and the others unconscious in the reception room, we moved to the first-floor entrance hall. Opening the main door slightly, we peered into the garden in front of the Former Lord’s Mansion. The garden featured geometrically patterned paths and orderly rows of flowers and ornamental plants. In a small clearing created within the garden, we could see several figures. At first glance, they appeared to be traveling merchants, accompanied by adventurers acting as their guards. Could that merchant-like man be Marmo Mamot!? He had a clean-cut, greasy appearance with his black hair slicked back, wearing gold-rimmed glasses – the stereotypical miser. Was he intentionally trying to be inconspicuous? In contrast, the seven men and women guarding him were all handsome and beautiful.
“Master Harem, don’t be fooled by appearances. That demon commander is definitely a mid-ranking demon. The rest are likely their subordinate lower-ranking demons.”
As I observed the enemy, Lulu_Berze cautioned me.
“This is an exciting development, Hal!”
“Indeed… Elise’s flabby stomach is practically jiggling.”
“W-what did you say, Freya!”
Freya, who had been trembling until now, doused Elise’s excitement with a splash of cold water.
“Master, you’ll suffer if you become complacent.”
Airia then offered Elise some stern advice. Beside her, Edele smiled wryly. Meanwhile, the “Breast Magical Princesses,” led by Ly, had finished preparing for battle.
“It seems we are ready as well, so let’s face them.”
We swung the entrance doors wide open and stepped out into the rotary in front of the entrance. The party members, centered around Elise and Ly, formed ranks and stood on guard. I stepped forward as their representative.
“Who… who are you people!? I am Hal Harem Von Raymond, the leader of the adventurer party ‘Princess Harem’…”
“I am Marmo Mamot, a traveling merchant. As I have been granted the rank of a third-class quasi-nobility by the Espana Imperial Kingdom, I have had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with Baron Hylandora. I happened to learn that something had happened to the Baron and rushed here, Lord Raymond. And these individuals around me are adventurers I hired for protection on my journey.”
“I… see… Thank you for your courteous greeting, Lord Mamot.”
The man who appeared to be the leader of the opposing group responded to my introduction. As expected, he was indeed Marmo Mamot. However, he introduced himself purely as a merchant. Despite his seemingly humble demeanor, a dark, hateful aura and hostility emanated from some of the individuals disguised as bodyguards. That was… the look of someone seeking revenge for their kin. Perhaps they were the blood relatives of Pull Pluun or Tsun Tsetsen, whom we had defeated. Meanwhile, Astarotte and the Vampire sisters were hiding at the back of our group. Perhaps they judged it unwise to be recognized by demons from their homeland. At that moment, the three beautiful women facing us directly made a move. They possessed youthful beauty and mature allure, but what distinguished the three of them was the presence of conspicuously large breast sacs. Their breasts were likely of a “scandalous” magnitude! Still, most of the demons who had crossed over to the human realm and incarnated were remarkably handsome and beautiful. They were very different from muscled demons and were adept at cunning tactics.
