216 - - Episode 15 Bees

After giving Miki a tour of "Kyotogai," he went home to his store and home.

Shirika cooked dinner with Miki.

Not all of them have a home, a kitchen, and the ability to cook.

Some of them are still living in "N, prefab.

...... "N, prefab" is by far the easiest place for the people to live compared to other cities and villages in other countries.

The "N, prefab" is also a place where people can live in comfort.

Basically, priority is given to those who need the food, but since the food is tastier than what they can make themselves and the beautiful and lovely fairy maids are known to serve the food, even those who do not need it are allowed to eat the extra portions.

The amount of food is not so large that it has become a premium for some.

--Back to the story.

Shirika and Miki ate the food they had prepared, chatting and laughing.

After sunset, they can light up the room with lamps or magic items that glow with magic, but it is usually a waste of time, so they quickly go to bed.

Silica and the others, as usual, wipe their bodies with boiled water and get into their own beds.

......

A few hours later, a sweet smell fills Silica's nostrils.

It smelled so sweet, like concentrated honey, that if she sniffed it too much, her head would start to ache.

Perhaps because of the sweet smell, Silica's head did not spin properly and she still seemed to be dreaming.

Her head was too fluffy to think straight.

Shirika, get up and sit on the edge of the bed.

...... yes."

Somehow, in Silica's locked room, Miki and "Queen Pheromone Bee," a giant wasp monster about 1 meter long, were on the desk, staring at her with inorganic eyes.

If Silica had been rational, she would have screamed and tried to escape.

But now she was unconscious, sitting on the bed as Miki had instructed with a dazed expression, not even showing a pretense of trying to escape.

The "pheromone bees," which are the lower level monsters of the "queen pheromone bee," have the habit of luring their prey with pheromones and then attacking and killing them.

The "Queen Pheromone Bee" uses stronger pheromones than the "Pheromone Bee" to control them and give them instructions.

However, the pheromones of "Queen Pheromone Bee" are not strong enough to be so effective, even on ordinary people.

Then why is it so effective on silica?

The cause is Miki.

It seems to be working properly.

Kiki ki ki ki."

The "Queen Pheromone Bee" chirps in reply to Miki's words.

She is "Level 6000, Summoner, Miki.

The LV value is actually a little higher than 6000, but she calls herself that because it's kiri.

Miki is a summoner who specializes in bees and their abilities among insects.

Thanks to this, he was able to enhance the pheromones of "Queen Pheromone Bee" to the point that they affect people, and even grant them abilities when summoning them.

The higher the level, the greater the range of powers that can be enhanced or granted.

The pheromones of the "Queen Pheromone Bee" are only effective in a closed room, when the other person is low-level and unprotected.

It is not a very versatile ability, but if it is effective, it can put an opponent into a hypnotic state and elicit information known to the opponent.

It is a perfect ability for gathering information.

Miki smiles and asks Silica, "What do you think of this?

Then I'll ask you a question right away. You must answer all of them without hiding.

......Yes, I understand."

Silica replies with mellow eyes.

Today, you showed me around the city, but are there any secrets you're not telling me?

......Yes, there are none."

I wonder if Silica has ever met the Giant Tower Witch.　Or do you know who the "Giant Tower Witch" is?"

I have never met him in person. I have heard from the prince and princess of the racial kingdom when I was showing them around. The Witch of the Gigantic Tower is the Witch of the Gigantic Tower."

'Hmmm......... I guess you don't even know who I am. So was the Witch of the Gigantic Tower beautiful?"

Yes, I couldn't see her face because of the hood, but even I could tell from her voice, her mood, and her body that she was very beautiful.

Miki's smile deepens at Sirika's response.

The rumors seem to be true," she said, her animalistic desires intensely aroused, but she proceeded with the interrogation rather than reveal them.

I wonder if you have ever been inside the tower?　If you have been in there, please tell me what it's like.

I have been on the first floor of the "Giant Tower. I've never been on any floor other than the first floor.

I wonder if anyone knows anyone who has been above the second floor?　And does the Witch of the Giant Tower live in the Giant Tower?

Rumor has it that the prince and princess of the racial kingdom stayed above the second floor. I heard that the witch lives in that 'giant tower.

I see... ......, then next..."

Miki moves on to the next question.

More than an hour had passed since we started asking questions.

Silica, who has been talking all the time, even though she is in a hypnotic state, begins to show signs of fatigue.

To reduce any discomfort the next morning, I ended with a final question.

'This is my last question, do you know Mr. 'C'?　Or have you ever heard of it?"

No, I don't.

'...... yes. If "C" is really in the "Giant Tower," is he well hidden? Or is he really not there? It's a little hard to tell.

After I finished asking a series of questions, I put Silica to bed.

Miki crawled into bed again and put her own face close to Silica's sleeping face.

Silica, you are so cute," she said. I wonder what kind of cute sounds she would make if I nuzzle her belly?　Aah!　I want to add this to Miki's collection now!　But if I attacked her on the first day, there would be no point in going undercover. She really is a sinful girl.

Miki licks the sticky silica cheeks with her long red tongue, slowly tasting them.

I'm not sure if I should take Shirika with me once I've finished investigating ....... I'm not sure if I'm going to give priority to the fairy maid or not. It's hard to decide.

Miki rises from the bed and ponders what will best satisfy her desires.

While pondering, she briefly summarized her research information on a piece of paper and tied it to the leg of a small insect she had summoned - a "shadow bee.

The "Shadow Bee" is an insect monster that is hard to detect and attacks by surprise in forests.

Miki's power has further strengthened their ability to block out their presence.

The tower is so secure that it gives me a headache before I enter, but it's pretty much defenseless against the inside, isn't it? It's a sign of confidence in their ability to eliminate any hostile presence. In fact, it's impossible for a master to get into the inside of the tower. It is natural to have confidence. But this time, I'm going to use that opportunity without reservation.

Miki quickly opens the window of her room, and the "Shadow Bee" disappears into the night without a sound of its wings.

Miki watches the "Shadow Bee" fly away safely, and then returns to her room with the "Queen Pheromone Bee", looking at Silica who is sleeping in her bed as if it is a waste of her time.

Silica's room was as if Silica was the only one there from the beginning, and not even a trace of Miki was left.
