Monster Musume chapter 77: Document arrangement

“Good Morning, father” Lime

“...Good Morning” Tsuchio

The next day since we came back from the ruins, I awoke at the private dormitory. Next to me is Lime who is looking at me and embraces my arm closely. Somehow, it makes me remember the ruins...in this way do we kiss!? I gaze at Lime´s movement in order to avoid anytime.

“Father...it's embarrassing, when you stare so much” Lime

“Eh, ah my fault” Tsuchio

“Ah, there is no reason that I don't want you to look in particularly...just a little, I can't look straight at father´s face..." Lime

Lime blushes and conceals it by pressing her face against my arm. ...Well, I have bullied her considerably.... Although Lime started, I took the lead and gently did various things I wanted to do and such a case isn't possible with Ruu.

“Ah, I won't do it anymore if it's disliked..." Tsuchio

“No, I don't dislike it! I´m really happy, that I´m able to know father better, which makes me happier. However...father, I didn't think you are nasty here” Lime

“I'm sorry...you're too lovely when you're shy” Tsuchio

“Again father.... However, your selfishness has been understood from this. Next, I will bully father” Lime

Lime has a doubtful smile...hey she is really absorbed in it and it seems serious.... I don't hope that slime play is done.

Ruu and Nichrome seems to have stayed at the monster stable. After washing my body, I faced the monster stable, where everyone was waiting in front of the entrance.

“Good Morning, Tsuchio. Did you enjoy last night” Ruu

“Master, did you enjoy last night?” Nichrome

“Bururu, Burururuu!”

From the start, Ruu, Nichrome and Rin said something that only a innkeeper would say. Shadow-san doesnt say anything and only make a cold glance somehow. The words stock!?

“In a novel in the royal library, a hero said that at such a scene. Its accurate” Ruu

“In the database there is a data that says this dialog should be said on the net morning after a man and woman made a child" Nichrome

“Aren't there various information inside Nichrome´s database.... And Ruu what kind of novel did you read?” Tsuchio

Its absolutely a erotic novel...moreover, what the standpoint that hero said? I can imagine what kind of story it might be.

“Well then, Lime. Because I told you, you tell me” Ruu

“Understood, it was fairly different from what elder sister said.... I was attacked from the start to the end” Lime

“Bururu!”

“Is that so...let's talk about the details inside” Ruu

After saying, Ruu, Rin and Lime returned to the monster stable. Only I, Nichrome and Shadow-san remained. With the three of us...after we finished the guide, what shall we do today?

“Master, let's look for the blueprint for the legs if nothing is done” Nichrome

“Ah, right. Flying in the outside, shall we do it at the private dormitory?” Tsuchio

I told Ruu and the others that we will return to the private dormitory, before we face the dormitory. Although I worried if Nichrome can go through the front door, she managed to push herself through to the inside.

“Then, please put out the documents from the laboratory. There are a lot,so bring out little by little. The weathering might be intense, too, so let's put it out softly"

Shadow-san put out all documents from her body. It is divided neatly by size, therefore it is also easy to receive. It is scrupulously arranged in the corner and I don't ask for shadow's character. Assuming such a method, it is pleasant somehow.

“Then, please Nichrome. Let's collect the unrelated and different documents on the bed. Firstly let's collect those who are blueprints” Tsuchio

“Understood” Nichrome

Nichrome received the documents and looked through them and put them on the bed before she moved to the next stack.

For a while only the sound of flipping through the documents and throwing them on the bed can be heard in this room. And although 1 or 2 hours have passed, there still a big amount left.

In that situation, Nichrome´s work is enormous. The mountain of documents Nichrome built is high, therefore we divided them into several stacks, because it likely will collapse. Nichrome found many blueprints. Well, that is according to expectation. The problem, the blueprints Shadow-san and I found are different.

Because Shadow-san and I cant read ancient languages, we used the inevitable search method by judging from the drawing. Shadow-san also seem to understand, it is selective indifferent. Anyway, Shadow-san dont know fatigue so the quantity she found is higher than mine...I somehow have a defeated feeling.

“Ah, is this a blueprint?” Tsuchio

“Yes, it is. Page 24, now we have one blueprint completed” Nichrome

“Finally...what is this blueprint?” Tsuchio

“The blueprint for the mechanical insects, which is unrelated to the legs” Nichrome

“This mechanical insect is a spider, so can the legs be used? Like a arachne” Tsuchio

“Although there is room to study, it is necessary to remodel the mechanical insect. That means that if such a technology should have remained until now” Nichrome

“It probably remained...isn't it in your database, Nichrome?” Tsuchio

“...When I search, there are general information.  Is the mechanical insect remodeled?” Nichrome

“No, let's arrange all blueprints first of all. Ah, Shadow-san did you also found something? You're fast” Tsuchio

“I have no document stack, can you give me more” Nichrome

Did we completed one finally...but its boring to puzzle which one are necessary and which one unnecessary. Let's work hard once again!

After two more hours have passed, we finished arranging the documents and it was time for lunch. On the bed is a mountain of documents and on the floor are the blueprints Nichrome divided by pages. Although some are incomplete, they will be in that mountain.

“Master please give me the documents Shadow-san divided, I will confirm whether there is a blueprint inside” Nichrome

“When there is no inside, does that mean they were lost?” Tsuchio

“That's right. Perhaps, they are inside here” Nichrome

“It is necessary even if you don't dispose of such documents, after all, that laboratory hadn´t been abandoned yet. These documents are likely to incinerate absolutely" Tsuchio

While Nichrome confirms the pile of documents, I and Shadow-san hasnt seen any blueprints for human legs. As long as there is a drawing even we would understand that....

“Hmm, Shadow-san what is? ...A caterpillar? Such a thing. Its interesting, but not good now. For now lets look for human legs”

The caterpillar blueprint found by Shadow-san can be used for underwater action and for flights. The jetpack isn't shoulder on the back, so it is not usable as arm but you might be able to fly. Besides blueprints for arms and legs, there are also some for weapons.

“This time it might be human...no, human type. This is obviously for combat right? Well, human type”

The net one Shadow-san found were legs for combat. They arent human type, but wolf type legs.... The sharp claws can be infused with magic. The thin legs seem to have considerable strength, then it's written that they can crush rocks. How to move the arm, when the muscular usage is important.  

“Let's look for non-combat legs now” Tsuchio

“Master, I finished collecting the blueprints that were by mistake here. In that, where there blueprints for human legs?” Nichrome

“Only for combat was found, no non-combat legs. Or more precisely, can this leg be made?" Tsuchio

“You can't say that at all. Although even I can assemble, I don't know how to do if there is no part. To make parts for myself, there is a limit" Nichrome

Is that so? We sleep separately though it isn't thought that it cares now.

“...Even so. If you want to read the book, master can borrow it. Shall we stop the blueprint search?”  Nichrome

“Perhaps new soldier equipment is found and there is no loss doing so. For now, let's classificate the documents” Tsuchio

Possibly, it's likely to be made. Therefore general-purpose weapons are probably better than many soldier equipments. For now, I know what kind of blueprint that is.

“After all, we didn't found any non-combat legs. Even though it is reluctant even if it has been postponed to be made, it isn't strange if it can be made without blueprint"

“Did someone accidentally had brought up, it had been lost? There might be the case that no blueprints were made. Arms which do small-scale movement are necessary, but there is no especially advantage in the leg section”

“Is that so. Then for the present time its unusual. Could it be that these documents are locked up, because they are blueprints of blueprints.

Shadow-san keeps flipping through the documents. Properly she can classify them, so the inside of Shadow-san is truly convenient. She has evolved considerably, so can she gradually insert living things? Before hearing, already just a little growing, if it becomes the way where she can operate the internal environment, then she can insert everyone inside and the movement will be easier.

“Let's end it for today, it's an excellent time to stop” Tsuchio

“After this what shall we do, there is a little time until dinner” Nichrome

“Umm, let's go to Ruu and the others...or” Tsuchio

I took out the communication magic tool that I got from Yukurishisu from my chest. I want to confirm her safety...but will I disturb her? Although I thought to wait until spring, my endurance slowly reach the limit. Lets report for a moment.

I applied the magic tool to my ear and infuse magic through my hand. ...Ah, only a piep piep sound is heard. Do I try it one more time...doing it once more, I still hear a piep piep sound.

When I tried it for a while, the piep piep sound wasnt heard anymore. Not hearing a sound means that my magic is cut off. It is said that two magic tools need to connect with each other...does that mean I´m ignored?

“Is that a communication magic tool? Who do you contact?” Nichrome

“An acquaintance...but it doesn't connect at all and I tried it many times, because the magic is cut off” Tsuchio

“Magic is collected in the air, do you communicate by using that? It doesn't seem to accumulate a lot of magic. Are the current ones like that?” Nichrome

“In the past, were you able to communicate longer?” Tsuchio

“Yes. Not only between two magic tools it was also possible to communicate with more magic tools. The size was also small so we could put it into our ears to hear” Nichrome

Does it feel like a small income? There are such kind of things, as expected from the ancient civilization. Level is different.

“However, it didnt connect. After all, safety could not be verified” Tsuchio

It is likely only not to have connected by chance...but when it isn't possible to contact with this, what can I do? Cant I grasp Yukurishisu´s safety somehow.... The magic tool cant be used and there is no other means to contact her. It might contact again when magic recovers, so lets wait for her report.

“Nothing can be done here, lets return to the others. Are they still speaking about last night..." Tsuchio

“Did you enjoy it?” Nichrome

“Your question already says the answer” Tsuchio

Haa...Yukurishisu-san should be safe.

＜Yukurishisu-san´s side＞

“Haaa...I of all people am a failure” Yukurishisu

“What's wrong, Oujo-sama. Sigh, the magic tool seems to be broken, so the appearance of that young man can't be shown” Wo-san (For those who forgot Wo-san is the tiger general and attendant of Yukurishisu)

The emperor changed and the imperial capital where war ends suddenly has the confusion still going on. She sighed in the private room of the emperor in the center of the castle. Inside the room are many luxurious furnitures and it's really bright from the chandelier. Many documents are piled up on the big beautiful desk and the new emperor is busy so she can't be visit.

“Wo, what is. Is there some business?” Yukurishisu

“Although I came to confirm the schedule for tomorrow...it appears that, it's out of question now”  Wo-san

“Tomorrow I will greet the duke of demon territory, answer the petition to the emperor and have a dinner with the ministers. I remember everything. This documents also must be processed completely” Yukurishisu

“Then it is good. And as for that, the magic tool fragment has been passed to him” Wo-san

“Okay. At the duel with my brother, I had it in my chest.... However it was destroyed by my brother's sword” Yukurishisu

“Thanks to the magic tool, the sword didn't stuck deeply. Isn't it a lifesaver?” Wo-san

“though it is so...I promised Tsuchio that I will report him as soon as the revolt succeeded. He certainly worries about my safety” Yukurishisu

“How? He probably already forgot you and has flirted with someone else” Wo-san

“There is no such a thing! No, though it is likely to flirt, he won't forget me" Yukurishisu

“Even if you say so, the confirmation cannot be done” Wo-san

“...Transfer, shall I only even safely tell that for the time being...?” Yukurishisu

“It is useless, Oujo-sama is tightly buried to the schedule for several months" Wo-san

“Then, when can I take a day off!?” Yukurishisu

“It is so...even if it's the lowest, you need to wait until summer” Wo-san

“Tsk, it's troublesome as the emperor to not have some freedom. I want to abdicate quickly" Yukurishisu

“You only became the new emperor several months ago, so suddenly abdicating gives an unfavorable impression” Wo-san

“Haa...endure until summer” Yukurishisu

Muttering that the topic with her elder brother was serious, Yukurishisu hands the documents from the desk to Wo-san. Thus, the night for the new emperor passed away.
