Chapter 237 - Konbu Maki
「Seiji-sama!」
Elena shouted worriedly.
Without an opening being created for her to splash the【Curse dispelling potion】over to Yurie-san, Elena was in dire stress too.
I have to do my best to create an opening to Yurie-san here……
I have to, but…...
It’s no good.
I have to greatly avoid the tentacle attack more than necessary at any cost.
This is the courage to take another step!!
I resolutely took a step forward toward the incoming bunch of tentacles.
『Here it goes!!』
『I’m gonna treat you with L.O.V.E!』
The moment the katana and the tentacles collided,
I put the katana back into the inventory and slipped under the bunch of tentacles.
And then, I hold the bunch of tentacles with both hands.
It’s totally like……
like a『konbu maki1』tied up in a bundle with『kanpyo2』......
『Kyaa! What are you doing with a young maiden\'s important part~?!!』
Yurie-san screams.
As I’ve said so, what important part!?
「Elena! Now!!」
「Yes! Seiji-sama!!」
Elena controlled the【curse dispelling potion】with 【water magic】using this chance―
and splashed it over to Yurie-san’s face!
『Kyaa! What this!!?』
Yurie-san was surprised at the facial-cumshot3 and pulled the tentacles back in her skirt.
「I did it, Seiji-sama.」
「You did well, Elena.」
I was going to hug Elena, but…...
I was dodged by Elena.
「Why did you dodge, Elena?」
「Because…...Seiji-sama…...」
When I look carefully at my body―
it had become sticky with the liquid that smells like a rotten cheese.
I see, it was during the konbu maki strategy a while ago……
It can’t be helped, let’s put off hugging Elena for later.
『Guwaaa---!!』
When such a thing happened, Yurie-san began to suffer.
When I looked carefully, a black smoke shrouded from her face together with the sound of something melting and sizzling.
After Yurie-san writhe for a while, she collapsed and stopped moving.
「Is she alright?」
「She’s certainly fine since the curse has just removed.」
While we were watching attentively,
Yurie-san’s mask came off and fell down on the floor.
When I used【Appraisal】, Yurie-san’s『curse』had disappeared.
「Yes! The curse is dispelled.」
Elena who heard my words quickly rushed up to Yurie-san.
「It’s alright, Seiji-sama.
Yurie-san doesn’t have any injury.」
「Is that so! That’s good.」
Yurie-san seems to have expended magic power, and just asleep.
「Seiji-sama, let’s carry Yurie-san to my room.」
「Ou, leave it to me.」
I wiped the sticky juice smeared on my body,
wrapped Yurie-san in a bath towel,
and took her to Elena’s room in a princess carry.
----------
There was a new bed placed in Elena’s room.
The King probably prepared a new bed for Elena when she comes back.
「Oi, Seiji!」
When I was thinking who it was, the King willfully barged into Elena’s room.
「What it is, King?」
「What ‘what is it’?
Other than such a thing, what are you going to do with that woman!?」
「I’m not going to do anything, just nurse her.」
「That woman is the enemy who attacked me, you know?!!」
「Otou-sama, you’re wrong!」
Since Elena objected suddenly, the King was surprised.
「This Yurie-san is an important friend of mine!
She was manipulated by the devil-kin!
She’s not an enemy!!」
「I-, Is that so…...」
The King flinches at the so angry look of Elena.
Oops, I forgot the other woman.
「Elena, I’ll leave Yurie-san to you.」
「Yes, leave her to me.」
「King too, don’t bother Elena.」
「Don’t order me.」
Sigh, the king wasn’t helping~.
----------
When I came back to the audience room, the woman with a shield was still unconscious.
I endured the sticky bad smell and performed a physical check-up on the woman.
When I took off the woman’s hood, she has two horns as expected.
She’s a devil-kin after all.
And then……
She had【Magic stone of confusion inducement】,【Magic stone of confusion erasure】, and【Magic stone of suicide】in her person.
┌─＜Appraisal＞────
│【Magic stone of confusion inducement】
│One can induce confusion to a person.
│It’s necessary to draw near during the inducement.
│Rarity: ★★★★
└─────────
┌─＜Appraisal＞────
│【Magic stone of confusion erasure】
│One can erase the confusion of a person by pouring magic power
│while having bodily contact.
│Rarity: ★★★★
└─────────
┌─＜Appraisal＞────
│【Magic stone of suicide】
│One can commit suicide by pouring magic power,
│completely obliterating the body, and one’s belongings.
│Rarity: ★★★★
└─────────
These are nothing but dangerous magic stones.
The story I can see from these three was……
1. Act together, and manipulate Yurie-san.
2. If the strategy fails, kill Yurie-san.
3. Then she will commit suicide, destroying the evidence.
Such a flow was my hypothesis.
Incidentally, the black shield was―
┌─＜Appraisal＞────
│【Shield of everlasting darkness】
│A shield which cancels magic invocation,
│but can’t block physical attacks.
│Rarity: ★★★★
└─────────
It was as such.
I put the shield and the three magic stones away into the inventory,
and tied the hands of the devil-kin woman behind her back.
Then, Lyle Gewalt entered while gasping for breath.
「King-sama! Are you safe!!?」
「If it isn’t Lyle Gewalt.
Did you only shamelessly appear now?」
「S-, Seiji!!
What of King-sama!?」
「He’s safe.
And, as you can see, I caught this devil-kin as well.
Or rather, where have you been until now?」
「I seemed to have been put asleep somehow or other,
and woke up just now…...
I’m ashamed.」
Well, I figured.
「Lela was worried, you know.
Contact her quickly.」
「I-, Is that so…...」
I was able to save the Royal Capital somehow.
And, got back Yurie-san as well.
The rest, I’ll finish the battle in the other towns and return to Japan.
I whipped my tired body and stood up.
