Chapter 95 – The Secret of the Dragon Empress
After eating it was time to go to work.
As I returned to my room and changed my clothes, I began to think about today’s expedition.
Ummm.
Where should I go?
In the “Hiryu Mountain Range”* I didn’t know what to do.
(Name changed, Hiryu is the original. I don’t understand why Makoto had changed it to Ryuzoku)
Not only did I wander around for a long time, but sadly I couldn’t find the dragon I was looking for either.
Well, at the moment there’s nowhere else.
“Kazehaya, can I come in?”
While I was thinking, a voice sounded from outside the room.
The one that came into my room was the beautiful succubus Rust.
“Did something happen?”
“I heard it from Carolina-sama, so you’re going out on an subjugation quest?”
“Ah, that’s right, but…”
“If you don’t know where to go… I’d like to go to the Hiryu Mountain Range.”
What happened so suddenly?
“May I ask why?”
“No, you can’t. This is something that not even Carolina-sama knows. Not to mention that a human can knows.”
“……”
Hey, hey.
Is that a way to ask someone for favors?
I can barely forgive her because of the fact that she looks like a beautiful girl, but if she’d had her former man form, I’d have been pretty upset.
“I understand. I can see it’s something that can’t be said out of the blue. Going to the Hiryu Mountain Range is complicated, so I’d better do it another day.”
“Ah, hey wait a minute!”
After I treated her so casually, Rust grabbed my shoulder and stared at me.
Too close!
You’re a voluptuous succubus… please be a little more conscious!
She still hasn’t assimilated that she’s a woman now.
“If something happens, you can tell me. It’s the only way I’ll see if I feel like going to the Hiryu Mountain Range.”
“…Gunu. Th-That’s not gonna happen. I’d rather take the secret to my grave…!”
“……”
Hmm.
At first, you’d just think she was a blockhead, but it looks like she’s not going to change his mind about this.
Why is she going to such lengths to keep it a secret anyway? I’m a little curious.
“Then you leave me no choice. I’ll use my spell to make you more honest. ‘Tell me everything you’re hiding’.”
So, I decided to use my “Absolute Control”.
Rust may not know it, but a Monster Tamer can make the summoned monster do anything they wants.
“The reason I want to go to the Hiryu Mountain Range… is because I want to meet the Dragon Empress Kururu.”
“—What!”
What the hell did she say?!
The Dragon Empress Kururu.
One of the worst demons known to have taken a great amount of human lives, she was even one of the Demon King’s commanders.
Everything I know of her I have learned before from Rikku-san, the master of Ciel.
“Shit! Yo-You bastard! What did you do to me!? My mouth… my mouth moved by itself!?”
“Whatever. Just keep talking. Why must you meet Kururu?”
“Because… I was originally a servant of Kururu-sama. Under her orders, I started working as the owner of the casino and handed over the proceeds to her. This time, however, things have changed, as from now on I will be working under Carolina-sama. Apologizing to Kururu-sama is just common sense.”
“I understand. So that’s what happens.”
I’m surprised Rust worked under Kururu.
However, this connects the events in many ways.
I used to wonder why Rust, a demon, worked at the casino.
“By the way, why did you decide to serve Carolina? More so knowing that you’d betray Kururu by doing so.”
I had no idea.
Was Carolina really that important among the demons?
However, given Carolina’s exploits so far, I don’t think it’s strange.
“…I always wondered if it was really okay to work under Kururu-sama. But honestly, I had something I couldn’t respect her for.”
“……”
This matches the information Rikku-san had given me.
It seemed that Kururu was known for her cruelty even in demon hunting parties.
“Hey. There’s one thing that keeps bothering me, do you think Kururu will want to forgive you for cutting ties with her and finding a new master?”
“Ugh. I have my doubts about that, too. Kururu-sama is a strict person who won’t tolerate even the slightest mistake… if I’m lucky, at best I might get half killed… at worst, I’ll be killed.”
Of course, she would.
From what I’ve heard, this woman, Kururu, seems to be an atrocious and proud demon.
I do not believe that one of her subordinates, who betrayed her, will come out unscathed.
“…Why would you want to go to such a dangerous place?”
“If that’s the case, Kururu-sama will never forgive me. She will follow me to the end of the world and try to kill me. If that would happen, there is a chance that Carolina-sama is in danger. So, this is a problem I have to solve alone.”
“……”
I see.
Is that so?
Rust.
I’m reevaluating my opinion of you.
Even if she were to die, she doesn’t want to bother Carolina.
I thought she was just a fool… but she’s really quite a man!
Although it’s a bit strange to say that a beauty like her is “quite a man”.
“All right, all right. If that’s the case, we’ll go to the Hiryu Range today.”
“…!? Are you sure!?”
When I agreed, for a moment a beauty’s smile blossomed on Rust’s face.
“Oh, yes. But there is one condition.”
“Condition…?”
“You’ll go with me all the way to Kururu’s lair and I won’t let you leave my side.”
“…Are you sure you want to do this? Kururu-sama won’t let me return unharmed. If you go with me, you’ll be in great danger, right?”
“Make no mistake. I’m not going to do it for you. I just can’t stand the idea that someone’s going to break the things that belong to me.”
“Ka-Kazehaya…!”
After listening to me, Rust’s cold heart was deeply moved and her eyes became teary with emotion.
What will it be? This atmosphere…
It wouldn’t be so bad if Rust was really a beautiful girl…
Don’t be silly! She’s a man!
Her tits are a ten and his big ass is fluffy… but she’s still mentally a man.
It’s problematic that a twisted sexuality seems to spring up in me after Rust has become a companion.
