Chapter 7

2,000 kilos North from the Marduk Country .

Leaving the main road, past the sacred mountain of the flame dragon, a granary was spread all over .

The fertile black soil of Cherurosa’s was spread all around the granary which supplied 40% of the continent’s wheat .

But, 99% of the people living here in this land were human serfs, and the remaining 1% were demon women who ruled it .

Demon Lord territory, the self-governing Rosenberg country .

Swirling with lust and conspiracy, this was the demon country which the demons of the night, Succubus, controlled .

Evening .

The town was complete wrapped in a demonic purple fog mixed with scarlet .

In the dinner room of Rosenberg Palace, two sisters were about to begin dinner .

One girl had silver colored hair and transparent skin . Also worthy of special mention were her pink colored eyes . A human would only be able to describe her appearance as that of a 16 year old .

And, the other person, who also had silver hair, was a woman who looked to be in the latter half of her twenties .

The charm of those two brought on a fascination that could not be described with words . There wouldn’t be a man who wouldn’t fall for their smiles .

[Onee-sama, at last……our sisters’ earnest wishes will be achieved tomorrow . ]

[Yes, all the nuisances are gone . Tomorrow is the day I become king…… . . it really was long]

[The King of the previous generation……After poisoning the mother who was King two generations ago, us sisters’ circumstances, in one word, was the worst…… those guys… . after strengthening the brainwashing of the serfs……feasted on our sex magic… . . Onee-sama… . . was forced to become the partner of those lowly serfs… . ]

With a distant look, the older sister, Adeline, floated a sad smile .

[For the royal family to fall to such a fate . As for you, while hiding your social status, you had to journey to the area under direct control of the Demon Lord after being exiled… . . you must have suffered from hunger during your journey . ]

[No, my hardships compared to yours Onee-sama… . ]

Adeline finished brushing her hair .

[Sarutorinu, (TL Note: if you got a better way to pronounce this name please tell me~~サルトリーヌ) . it was all thanks to you . You, in the area directly under control of the Demon Lord, ensnared influential demons with seduction techniques and established a haven for us sisters . ]

[No, it wasn’t like that Onee-sama, I just made a good foothold . Onee-sama, against our enemies……Our first achievement was getting revenge for mother . ]

[Well… . . 80 percent of the things I did……was poisoning . You were disgusted with my methods at first . However, you soon became my right arm, even for assassinations, so let me once again express my gratitude . ]

Sarutorinu nodded .

[All of it was handled according to Onee-sama’s instructions… . . Infighting creates a power struggle, the act of retaliation turns into revenge . And, in the end, assassination is used—–It is the fate of a Succubus…… . ]

[……The previous king……poisoned mother, and then was poisoned by me……this is what they would call karma don’t you think?]

And then, with a *pan*, Adeline struck her palm .

[Let’s now put a stop to this gloomy discussion since today is us sisters’ victory celebration . ]

[That’s right Onee-sama . ]

The two people picked up their wine glasses .

[Cheers] [Cheers]

The moment when both of them took a sip of wine, Sarutorinu’s complexion became blue and then changed to purple .

And then, she fell down in place .

[Onee……sama…… . . ? Why…… . ?]

Adeline laughed .

[It’s a fast-acting poison . It’s already too late to be saved . You hated it at first, but soon, you had a foot on the path of carnage . You understand now don’t you?]

[Onee…… . sama…… . ]

[The biggest influence inside the palace as of now… . is our faction with the two of us at the top . Supporters of both of us noble succubus are plotting power struggle with each other like a hobby…… . . You are in the way of strengthening the new administration foundation, Sarutorinu]

[…………?]

[When there are two boatmen, the passengers feel uneasy . And the guys who feel that uneasiness begin to think, ‘One of the two must be kicked off . ’ Only that will make you break a cold sweat……right?](TL Note:Couldn’t quite get the last line . 「船頭が二人もいては乗客は不安に思ってしまう。そして不安に思った奴らは考え始めるの。どちらに従い、どちらを蹴落とした方が――より甘い汁をすすれるか……ってね」)

And, she continued .

[You have already stained yourself with blood . If so, it’s not strange for you betray me at any time . The preparations are set too… . don’t you think? The seedling of anxiety must be picked early……it was something I had expected to teach you one day . ]

Seeming a little sad, she spit out .

[In the area under control of the Demon Lord… . . you should have behaved yourself, or possibly……stayed away from the path of destruction . If you had never dyed your hands with blood and stayed a child—–then you wouldn’t have needed to die . ]

Adeline, with her back to Sarutorinu, stepped forward from that spot and began to leave .

And then, while walking, Adeline’s legs gave in .

Then, she fell over .

—–Power does not enter her .

[Onee-sama… . . Sarutorinu is sad]

[What…is…the…meaning…of…this… . ?]

All of a sudden, in front of the Adeline, a vial with green colored liquid in it was held out .

[This is the antidote to the poison I served to Onee-sama . ]

With a hollow consciousness, the whipped body act, Adeline desperately reached out her hand for the medicine .

But, Sarutorinu threw the small vial onto the floor and trampled on it .

*clash*

The green liquid was absorbed into the carpet .

[Onee-sama started it first……since today is the victory celebration, right? You made a plan……This is the time when humans and demons lower their guard the most . And Onee-sama, please tell me–If you don’t strike at the time like this, when will you do it . ]

Sarutorinu had tears in her pink colored eyes .

[In truth……if Onee-sama didn’t set up anything…… . I intended to give this medicine to you immediately…… .

Unable to hide her overflowing tears, she continued .

[I…… . . Sarutorinu had noticed . As we sisters approached the throne……Murderous intent began to sprout within Onee-sama’s eyes……If today, if Onee-sama didn’t set up anything, I was going to take responsibility for planting the poison……In the worst case, I was prepared to be beheaded . If, in the case I was shown kindness and exiled from the country, I planned on relying on our friend Erigal, no she’s the Demon Lord now, and retiring to the area she directly controls…… . ]

But, she continued further .

[Onee-sama acted as expected… . . and crossed a line that should have never been crossed . I… . . I… . . believed in the bonds of us sisters . For that reason…when I became aware of your murderous intent, I didn’t want to believe it . At that time, I felt hatred towards Onee-sama . That’s why, Onee-sama, I planted the poison]

Everything became clear . Having given up, Adeline asked .

[… . . But… . . why……are you… . . not dying… . ? Certainly… . . you……ingested poison… . ]

[One hour prior to today’s dinner……I used several different kinds of antidotes in order to nullify all the poisons Onee-sama could use . ]

[Is this retribution……did I invoke retribution… . . Sarutorinu…even you…someday…]

Nodding a great deal, Sarutorinu said .

[Onee-sama—-]

In that way, Sarutorinu advanced and became the next queen of Rosenberg .

And, to her sister’s back, said words of farewell .

[—-Thank you for the last bit of guidance . As for me… . . whether it be a relative or anything—-I won’t place any trust in them . Therefore, I will get rid of anyone in my way . ]

2 months later

Something of a mysterious nature was born in the Marduk country ruled by the humans .

Various rumors spread among the demon tribes about Natasha Erigal’s, the strongest Demon Lord in history, sudden retirement from the crown, and among those was one with high credibility:

That the Demon Lord came in contact with that unknown existence .

And now, a secret letter reached the Queen of the Rosenberg’s self-governing country on the border of the Demon Lord territory .

At present, that unknown existence was only known by powerful high-class demons who could sense spirit pressure .

That spirit pressure was on such a ridiculous scale that it wasn’t even possible to guess it’s power .

“Something like a disaster” was the only way that it could be expressed . The current circumstances weren’t understood as of now . Besides, at this time, there was unrest about the retirement of the Demon Lord from the throne——When the knowledge of a being whose nature could not be known spread to the people of the lower classes, needless confusion would occur .

And therefore, who could perform the duty of Scout from the Demon tribe was limited .

The unknown existence’s spirit pressure had already been sensed . Besides—-To get away from the central of power which a lot of people are die trying to be . (TL Note:not sure about this one~~~既にその霊圧の存在を感知しており、なおかつ――中央権力から遠い場所におり、死亡したところでそれほどには差しつかえが無い者。)

With that kind of thing, she was chosen .

Coming in contact with something whose nature is unknown, perhaps she might be killed . It is the worst thing that could happen to the person who goes to investigate . (TL Note: Not sure about this either~~~得体のしれない何かに接触し、あわよくばその殺害を、最低でも何者であるかの調査を行えと。)

I don’t know what the truth is, perhaps she was murdered, it is the worst that could happen to person who goes investigate .

—–The Queen of the Succubus, Sarutorinu Markias, was an expert at seduction and poisoning .

Now, in the mountains .

In a small clearing, a small fire was shining against the darkness .

Lying down in that vicinity—–was a boy in a pair of underwear wearing a black mantle .

His old enemy had constantly followed him everyday since the time he began his trip in the other world . In other words, he was exhausted from the drama of escaping from the slime .

[Has it been 3 days already……mother’s pork miso soup…I want to eat it… . ]

If I arrived at the sacred Lindahl Empire, a neighboring country of the Marduk kingdom, it was said that I could get an occupation without any dangers .

For that reason, I kept walking towards the Lindahl Empire without eating or drinking .

At first, the Sacred Lindahl Empire was a distance of about 120 kilometers to the west .

And, as of now, I am in the mountains that are 870 kilometers northeast of the Lindahl Empire .

Today, when I asked a traveler who passed by, “How can a person have such a bad sense of direction . I mean that’s a distance that takes 3 days to cover on foot isn’t it!?” is what he said .

Yuuki sighed deeply .

[Surely, I didn’t think I would without noticing come across a warp zone while normally walking . ]

In fact, while playing a game of tag with the slime, he didn’t notice that, every time, he covered a distance of 100 kilometers .

[Really, a lower magician using nuclear weapon class magic and involuntarily encountering a warp zone while walking… . just what is with this strange world……]

—–No, what is up with you?

If a person knew of his circumstances, that tsukkomi would have been inserted there . Unfortunately he was traveling alone . (TL Note: shouldn’t had sent the Demon Lord away now there’s no one to play the straight man)

[Haha……at any rate I’m still hungry… . ]

At that moment, a sweet aroma tickled Yuuki’s nostrils .

[It feels like… . . I’m getting sleepy… . ]

As the sweet air was inhaled, intense drowsiness began to take over .

And with that, he fell into a deep sleep .

Then, a shadow approached him . The black shadow was illuminated by the campfire—–It was a girl with long, silver hair and jet black wings .

She was wearing the battle costume of a succubus: fishnet stockings in a black leather suit and a large scythe which the followers of the god of death use .

Clearly speaking, it was an appearance like that of a bunny girl without the rabbit ears .

—-It was the queen of the succubus: Sarutorinu Markias .

A few hours ago, she witnessed the life-or-death struggle with the slime……and was astonished .

[Wha, what is this power……]

And thus, she began to think up a counter plan .

No matter how you thought about it, there was no chance of winning if it was a frontal assault . Then, she comes to a conclusion .

Earlier, Yuuki inhaled a sweet smell before falling asleep .

——It was a special incense that induced sleep .

A pink light in her eyes glittered mysteriously in the pitch-dark night .

Sarutorinu raised the large scythe and swung it down towards Yuuki’s neck .

A mysterious phenomenon occurred .

The blade which was supposed to penetrate the skin and cut through the meat slipped off of Yuuki’s skin easily .

For a second time, it was raised again swung down .

And, as before, it smoothly slid off .

—–What is with this situation?……This person…… . are weapons……not effective against him?

However, she didn’t give up .

Since he smelled that incense, he wouldn’t wake up for at least 5 minutes .

With the time left, the scythe was swung down many times .

And 4 minutes later, she realized physical attacks are completely useless and switched over to another plan .

———By the way, the damage Yuuki received at this point in time was approximately 2000 points .

With Yuuki’s defense power of 65536, generally, that was a large amount of damage to pass through . She has displayed power which was worthy of praise even among higher ranking demons .

However, Yuuki’s HP stat was greater than 100 million (10^60 to be exact) .

In layman’s terms, her attacks were like receiving a constant oil massage .

Now, let’s return to the main subject .

About the next plan that she took .

First, the black leather suit was taken off . What appeared was silk white skin illuminated by the moonlight .

Both the top and bottom underwear was purple and a garter belt was attached through the fishnet stockings .

The light of a succubus dwelled in those pink eyes .

“Even if it’s useless, you have to try everything . ”

If attacking Yuuki didn’t work, she will use sexual appeal and kill him with poison when he lowers his guard .

She laid down beside the bonfire dressed in her underwear .

With this, all the preparation were finished . Now, we just have to wait till the prey wakes up .

With this, the previous show ended . .

Next time……The misunderstanding about Yuuki and Sarutorinu’s sexual relationship is about to explode .
